On this day, the Dawu court.

Wu Lin, the emperor of the Wu Dynasty, was dressed in a yellow dragon robe and sat on a dragon chair with a crown on his head.

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"

Wu Lin was not in good spirits, and said after yawning.

In the past few days, Wu Lin has often stayed up late in order to complete a painting, so he is not energetic.

"Minister, there is something important to start!"

An old man in an indigo official robe stood up and said.

Say. ”

Wu Lin lowered his head slightly, as if he was about to fall asleep, raised his eyes and glanced at the man who stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the people of Bozhou Chao cover the smuggling of weapons, committed the law of the country, do not repent, disobey the dynasty, because their righteous brothers were beheaded according to law, and unveiled the flag to rebel, and has now brutally killed Luo Xi, the Taishou of Bozhou, and the town of Berlin, and now occupies eight counties under Bozhou. ”

The old man said to Wu Lin bitterly, tears streaming down his face, so that people could not be moved.

"Scared! What? Someone is rebelling!"

Wu Lin, who wanted to doze off very much, heard that someone had reversed, and suddenly woke up with a stirring spirit, and ran away from the dozing.

"When did this happen?"

Wu Lin didn't know that someone had already rebelled.

"Enlightened Saint, this is what happened four days ago. ”

The man said with his head bowed.

"Bold, why didn't anyone tell me what happened four days ago?"

Wu Lin was very angry, and slapped the armrest of the dragon chair fiercely, someone made such a serious matter, and he didn't tell him at the first time.

"Holy Lord, please calm your anger, three days ago, Taiwei Hong looked for the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord was having something important at that time. ”

Another middle-aged man standing beside the old man spoke, but there was some pain in his words.

"Ahem, I see. ”

As soon as he was reminded by the middle-aged man, Wu Lin remembered that someone had indeed looked for him three days ago, but at that time, Wu Lin was painting and completing artistic creation, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

"It seems that I am so obsessed with state affairs that I have forgotten that Taiwei Hong has looked for me. ”

Wu Lin was a little embarrassed, he really can't blame the courtiers for this matter, it's his own fault, of course, it is impossible for the emperor to admit his fault.

"What did the Heavenly King of Zhenguo, Wei Chiling, do?"

Now that the rebellion has happened, it is necessary to find a solution.

"King Yu Chi is already ready, just waiting for His Majesty to speak"

The old man arched his hand and said, he has always been close to Yu Chiling, and Yu Chiling has been urging the old man for the past few days, hoping that Emperor Wu can give an order to suppress the anti-thief Chao Gai.

"Okay, pass on my will: order the Heavenly King of Zhenguo, Wei Chiling, to command the Zhenguo army, capture Chao Gai alive, and bring him back to the imperial capital to be killed. ”

Wu Lin was angry, and the consequences were very serious, since someone wanted to rebel against him? This is something that Wu Lin can't bear.

"Obey the order!"

The old man lowered his head to receive the order, presumably Wei Chiling would be very excited, after waiting for these few days, he could finally suppress the anti-thief.

Soon, a holy decree was transmitted from the imperial capital to Bingzhou, and the world was about to surge.

Taiyang Mountain, Nanyang Village.

Zhou Dong's master and apprentice have returned, and they wanted to make a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes, but they didn't expect the sudden change in the situation and Chao Gai's rebellion, and the rivers and lakes were not peaceful.

"Father-in-law, two virtuous brothers, just come back. ”

Fang Jie came with a team of men to greet Zhou Dong and the others, Fang Jie, who was in Taiyang Mountain, knew about Chao Gai's rebellion, and also knew that the emperor had ordered the King of Zhenguo to suppress Chao Gai, and the battle between the two sides was in the past few days.

"How Jelle led a team of men down the mountain to meet us. ”

Zhou Dong didn't understand Fang Jiexing's greeting to him, it was just such a close distance, why should it be like this.

"My father-in-law doesn't know, because of the rebellion of King Chao, now the imperial court is also very wary of these cottages for us, and Tengzhou now often sends troops to patrol near Taiyang Mountain, so that I can't go down the mountain. ”

Fang Jie shook his head and said, because of Chao Gai's matter, the imperial court is now very wary of these cottages, and now Fang Jie's cottages cannot operate normally.

Tengzhou is the city that governs Pingyao County and its surrounding counties.

"It is normal for the imperial court to react so violently. ”

Zhou Tong nodded and said clearly, it seems that today's son attaches great importance to the position of the emperor, and he can't tolerate a little threat.

"My Nanyang Village is quite good, many large and small cottages near the imperial capital have been exterminated by the imperial court. ”

Fang Jie said with a sigh, as the lord of a village, he has many friends and information channels on the rivers and lakes, and naturally knows how many large and small village owners have been exterminated by the imperial court in the past few days.

"Alas, the situation has changed abruptly, and it seems that there will be war again. ”

Zhou Tong looked at the sky and said worriedly, the Wu Dynasty, which had been peaceful for decades, was about to lose peace.

If it's just civil strife, I'm afraid that the Yuan Kingdom next door won't be able to hold back and want to intervene.

"Report!"

Just when Fang Jie and the others came to the hall of Nanyangzhai, a minion ran in quickly.

"Report to the owner of the village, there is important news!"

The minion was half-kneeling and said to Fang Jie hurriedly.

"Pick it up!"

Fang Jie knew what this minion was doing, he was a messenger that Fang Jie specially used to contact other cottages on the rivers and lakes, but he had been passing on things about Chao Gai for the past few days.

The minion got up and handed the information on his body to Fang Jie, and then stepped back by himself.

Fang Jie spread out the note and looked at ten lines, and his expression changed many times.

"Hahaha, yes, yes!"

Fang Jie laughed after reading the news, and handed the note to Zhou Tong again, leaving only a small notebook in his hand.

"Good news for the father-in-law, in the face of the army of the Heavenly King of Zhenguo, King Chao gathered a lot of cottages that were affected by the imperial court, integrated them, and formed an anti-military alliance, and now all the people are gathering in Bozhou. ”

Fang Jie briefly informed Zhou Dong of the information obtained on the note.

Before, these Jianghu people have been worried about what Chao Gai will do in the face of the Zhenguo Army, because the difference between the two in terms of strength and strength is too great, but now it is good, Chao Gai has gathered a number of cottage forces to form a unified alliance, and at least it will not be so passive in the face of the Zhenguo Army.

Previously, Chao Gai and Li Hongfeng's soldiers and horses were only a little bit, although most of them were star fighters, but they still had no absolute advantage in the face of the Zhenguo army.

Now that the surviving cottage soldiers and horses who were exterminated by the imperial court have been integrated, the number has doubled, and they have all been tempered by war, which suddenly made Chao Gai and them recover some confidence.

At the same time, Chao Gai also sent heroic posts to the entire rivers and lakes, hoping to join some powerful cottages and rebel with them.

Fang Jie's Nanyang Village was also one of the invitees, after all, Fang Jie's own strength is one of the best among all the cottage owners, not to mention the overall strength of Nanyang Village.

"Father-in-law, do you think I should be invited by the Heavenly King?"

Fang Jie also handed the hero post sent by Chao Gai to Zhou Tong, but this was a handwritten hero post written by Chao Gai himself, and invited heroes from all over the world to attend the meeting and discuss major matters together.

"You can't do it!"

Zhou Tong didn't say much, just said very vaguely.

But you can't respond, isn't it casual, you can also be okay or not.

"Yes, but not now. ”

Zhou Tong also saw that Fang Jie hadn't understood what he said, so he re-explained.

"Master is saying that you can't agree to the Heavenly King's invitation now, and you have to wait until there are some special circumstances before agreeing?"

Qin Yu's mind turned quickly, and after thinking about it a little, he understood Zhou Dong's words.

"Da Lang is right. ”

Zhou Tong is now more and more satisfied with Qin Yu, Qin Yu's martial arts talent may not be the highest among all apprentices, but this brain is the best, of course, it can't be said that the brains of other apprentices are not good, but they are not as flexible as Qin Yu in this military and political aspect.

"The icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow, Jie'er, if you agree to the invitation of the king of heaven now and go, it will not highlight your strength, you can agree to the invitation of the king first. ”

Zhou Tong said to Fang Jie that he could promise Chao Gai to go to the appointment first, but set off later.

If Fang Jie, like other village owners and other heroes in the rivers and lakes, promised to set off on the same day, not only could not show Fang Jie's strength, but it was also dangerous for Fang Jie, because at that time it was the time when the Zhenguo Army and Chao Gai were at war.

Fang Jie's joining at this time is harmful and not beneficial, so Fang Jie can only wait, waiting for a suitable time, of course, Fang Jie can't stay in the village all the time before again, you can find a reason to delay the time.

As for why Zhou Tong could let Fang Jie go against the court in the face of Fang Jie?

This is because Fang Jie's own identity is different from Qin Yu, Fang Jie is a person in the rivers and lakes and the master of a village, he is not a good person, plus Chao Gai has taken the initiative to invite Fang Jie, with the practice of the rivers and lakes, with Chao Gai's top reputation in the rivers and lakes, few people will refuse the hero sticker he posted.

So Zhou Tong couldn't stop Fang Jie from not agreeing to Chao Gai's invitation, unless Zhou Dong didn't want Fang Jie to survive in the rivers and lakes, he couldn't do this kind of thing.

Of course, although Zhou Tong agreed with Fang Jie's invitation to accept Chao Gai, it does not mean that Zhou Tong is determined to go against the imperial court, and it is still okay to work without contribution, at most, let Fang Jie play more, whether to fight or not, it depends on how Chao Gai arranges.
