The words of his teacher, who has always been gentle and elegant, are tantamount to letting himself kill all the people close to him! Although those noble and sworn enemies are gone, their queen's brother-in-law and son may also have to accompany most of the burial.

Qian Hongmu stared at Dugu Mu in a daze, he didn't know if his teacher was helping him or pit himself before he died.

As if knowing Qian Hong's thoughts, Dugu Mou smiled and said: "As the old saying goes, the song of a bird is also mourning, and the word of a person is also good. Teacher, I will only say this to you when time is running out, otherwise why has the old man never expressed any opinion in the court for decades? The first emperor refused to listen to my King Lichu, so there was the current situation of the Zhou State. Your Majesty, if you don't listen to the old man again, I'm afraid that the country of Zhou will really be over. ”

"Teacher, isn't there any other way?" Qian Hong asked with a bitter face.

Dugu Mu closed his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said faintly after a long time: "Hong'er, let your fourth brother out and let him bite." Maybe it can also support the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition, the child of the public family must be eliminated, that is a demon! ”

After speaking, Dugu Mu felt as if he was asleep, and there was no sound.

Qian Hongkue sat for a long time, and finally looked at the teacher who looked like an old monk in meditation. After standing up and bowing, he left the study and returned to the palace. This night is destined to be the night that determines the fortunes of the Zhou Kingdom.

The next day, Emperor Yue announced the cessation of the early dynasty. But in the afternoon, news came out from the palace that Emperor Qian Hong of Yue issued an order to crown his younger brother Qian Tuan, the king of Chu, as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses and the secretary of the military department, and mobilized soldiers and horses from seven state capitals to immediately go to Chaohai Mansion to quell the rebellion. In addition, the title of King Min and all official positions of the eldest prince Qian Yan were dismissed, and Chang He, the governor of the garrison of the capital, was sent as the commander of the army, and Qian Zhuo, the king of Wei, was the supervisor of the army to conquer the rebellious Qian Yan and pacify the northwest. He also crowned Xu Hu, the governor of the Northern Army, as the prince of Dingguo and the prince Taibao, and still took charge of the Northern Army's Marshal Yin to defend the northern frontier against the Qi State. He was crowned as the protector of the country and the general of Zhennan, and the title of prince was added. Gao Chengzong, the governor of the forbidden army, was the commander of Huaiyuan and the garrison of the capital.

A series of rewards suddenly made the court feel a strangeness. Especially for those nobles, they suddenly understood that Emperor Yue was ready to tear his face and move directly. Almost all of the most powerful northern army, southern army and forbidden army of Zhou State were firmly controlled by the Yue Emperor in the first time. Then the butcher's knife will inevitably fall on the heads of these people.

At this time, it is absolutely impossible to sit still, so there is an undercurrent surging in the capital. Many people began to keep connecting in series, preparing to deal with the thunderous blow of the Yue Emperor anytime and anywhere. But it was at this time that a news that everyone did not expect came, which broke the subsequent development of everything.

The emperor of the Southern Han Kingdom in the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty died, and the new emperor Liu Mang, after burying his father, ignored the opposition of the ministers of the court, and personally commanded an army of 150,000 to attack the Zhou State, vowing to destroy the Zhou State in one fell swoop.

Since Zhang Han and the people sent by the imperial court were going to kill Liu Dayuan and Gongyuwu the next day, Gongsun Jian had to consider changing his original plan and acting in advance. But he was afraid that this was a trap, so that he and his men could be wiped out. After all, there are now 3,000 Zhou soldiers stationed in Linshui County.

After carefully weighing the gains and losses and the thoroughness of the plan, Gongsun Jian looked at Hu Tianyi and asked lightly: "Hu, what kind of person do you think my Gongsun Jian is?" ”

"This ......" Hu Tianyi didn't expect Gongsun Jian to suddenly ask himself such a question. There was some hesitation for a while, but he quickly responded: "Gongsir, according to my past thinking of Hu Tianyi, you are a rebel and a heinous person. But since I came to Linshui County, I have seen the people here living and working in peace and contentment, especially after listening to what you said about establishing a heart for heaven and earth and a life for all people, I think you are a great character. ”

"Hehe, is that all?"

"Nope. In fact, Gongda may not know that my Hu is an orphan, and when I was ten years old, my parents died, and I was adopted by Lord Mu, the commander of Jin Longwei. Later, it was logical to join Jin Longwei. However, I still remember the incident in my childhood, when my family's land was occupied by the landlord, and there was a disaster year, which made my father and mother starve to death. As he spoke, Hu Tianyi's eyes were already moist, and his tone was a little choked.

"But my lord, you have shown me a difference, or a kind of hope. Yes, I was sent by the imperial court to monitor you, but later Brother Huang once talked to me about your ideals, a country without poverty and exploitation, and a home where everyone can be fed, clothed, and warm, without the flames of war. Although it sounds unrealistic, I see hope in Linshui County. So, if you are willing to trust me Hu Tianyi, please allow me to follow you from now on. With that, Hu Tianyi knelt down on his knees and bowed to Gongsun Jian.

Gongsun Jian glanced at Huang Wenyuan next to him, and the other party nodded at him imperceptibly. Obviously, the level of Huang Wenyuan's ideological and political education work has been greatly improved these days. This also made Gongsun Jian very satisfied. As long as you have people's hearts, then everything will be easy to do.

Gongsun Jian stepped forward to help Hu Tianyi up, and then motioned for Huang Wenyuan and Hu Tianyi to sit down and speak.

"Hu, after arresting my daughter, what happened to the mastiffs in my family?"

"Childe, the house in Stone Cave Lane is still empty. At first, the mastiffs didn't eat it, and they would bite people when they saw them. Therefore, they did not dare to release it. The subordinates were afraid of starving to death, so they specially consulted the young lady. Later, they were asked to take the young lady there, and I don't know what the young lady said to them, and then they all began to eat. But no one dared to come closer. It was Huang Wenyuan who replied, obviously he was more concerned about Gongyu Dance and anything related to Gongsun Jian.

"Well, that's good." Gongsun Jian nodded.

"What about the houses near my house in Stone Cave Alley, where the guards used to live?"

"It's all kept untouched."

"Wei Meng." Gongsun Jian turned his head to look at Wei Meng, who was standing on the side.

"Your Excellency. Subordinates are in. If there is something you command. ”

"You have to find a way to sneak out of the city to contact Lao Ding and those brothers. It is bound to rush to the county seat before dawn. ”

"Yes."

"Wen Yuan, you go and contact Zhao Sihai and ask him to find a way to secretly summon Ding Zhuang in the city to follow me tomorrow. The weapons needed were hidden underground in the house where the guards had lived. ”

"Okay, I'll do it in a moment."

"Finally, Hu you. Are you sure you can control the people who are guarding Liu Zhixian? ”

"This is a bit difficult, the people in the inner circle are all my subordinates of Jin Longwei, so there shouldn't be much of a problem. But the people who are responsible for guarding the periphery are all the soldiers of King Min, and now they are only obeying Zhang Han's orders. Hu Tianyi replied with a frown.

Gongsun Jian lowered his head when he heard this, thought for a moment, and then said, "You just need to ensure the safety of Liu Zhixian, my daughter, Miss Feng and other important personnel, and I will find a way to solve it with the people on the periphery." In addition, Wen Yuan will prepare some raw meat for me in a while, and I will go back to the small courtyard of Shiao Lane. Moreover, Zhang Han and the envoys sent by the imperial court must have monitored me, and whether they can succeed tomorrow or not will fall on them. ”

After saying that, Gongsun Jian suddenly thought of one more thing, and hurriedly called out to Huang Wenyuan and asked, "That's right, Wenyuan." What has happened to the Cao family recently? ”

Huang Wenyuan shook his head and replied, "Cao Gang went to Zhenyuan Pass with Qian Yan, while the other children of the Cao family all stayed in the dock fort outside the city and barely went out. ”

Gongsun Jian nodded silently, but Huang Wenyuan suddenly spoke again: "That's right, Childe." The subordinates forgot one thing. A few days ago, my subordinates met someone on the street, and they saw that their figure and appearance were very similar to Ma Teng, but they didn't dare to ask. ”

"Hehe, no wonder Zhao Changle has been looking outside the city for a long time and has not found any trace of Ma Teng, it turns out that this bastard has run to the city. That's fine. As long as we do it tomorrow, he will definitely show up to help. ”

As soon as Gongsun Jian's words fell, he heard someone on the roof whisper: "Huang Wenyuan of the dog day, Lao Tzu has been staring at you to see if you will betray your lord and our brothers." As he spoke, a dark figure jumped down from the roof. It was none other than the Ma Teng mentioned earlier.

As soon as Ma Tengren landed, he knelt down on one knee at Gongsun Jian and said, "My lord, the old horse has betrayed your trust. failed to defend the county seat, and failed to protect the safety of the young lady. ”

"Hahaha, what are you talking about, as long as you live, old horse." Gongsun Jian laughed and helped Ma Teng on the ground up. Before he could open his mouth to ask anything, he heard Ma Teng immediately say: "My lord, if you want to do it, don't wait for dawn." The West Gate guards happened to be our people from the past today, and Lao Tian had already gathered outside the West Gate with his scattered brothers. Zhao Sihai had already taken out his blades from the guard room with people and armed a lot of Ding Zhuang in the city. Now we don't have a commander-in-chief. You're here just in time. Coupled with the help of Old Yellow Dog and Captain Hu, we can say that our strength has increased greatly. ”

"You old horseman. Just talk about things, who are you scolding? Huang Wenyuan on the side scolded dissatisfiedly. The others laughed too.

Because of Ma Teng's sudden appearance, I also heard that there was Tian Kuo outside the city with people ready to respond. After repeated deductions, Gongsun Jian decided to take action immediately at night, so as not to delay the opportunity for a long night.

In order to save manpower, Gongsun Jian asked Hu Tianyi to send people out of the city to contact Ding Feng, and asked Ding Feng to take people to the West Gate to find Tian Kuo to meet, while Wei Meng still followed him. Everyone agreed to launch an attack before dawn on the fifth watch, the first goal was to rescue Liu Dayuan, Gong Yuwu and others, and the second task was to see if the situation could capture Linshui County.

When everything was settled, everyone began to disperse. Gongsun Jian took Wei Meng and quietly sneaked back to the small courtyard where he used to live.

The small courtyard was quiet, and there was no sound at all. Wei Meng inspected the inside and outside and informed Gongsun Jian that there was indeed no one inside.

Gongsun Jian climbed over the wall into the small courtyard, and walked directly to the backyard, in a huge kennel in the northeast corner, the four mastiffs had already heard the movement, and stood up vigilantly.

They were still very familiar with the smell and footsteps of Wei Meng and Gongsun Jian. Although Gong Yu Wu had been feeding them for a long time, Wei Meng and Gongsun Jian would sometimes come to visit them, and from time to time they would bring something for them to eat. Therefore, although the four mastiffs were very vigilant, they did not have the slightest malice towards Gongsun Jian and Wei Meng, and they did not make any sound.

Gongsun Jian cut the raw meat prepared by Huang Wenyuan with a dagger and threw it into the kennel, and then lowered his voice and said to the four mastiffs: "Maybe you can't understand what I say." But you haven't seen you for a long time. ”

As soon as the words fell, the four mastiffs that were devouring the meat strips all stopped, and the eight bright eyes of the night stared at Gongsun Jian in unison. This situation also made Gongsun Jian stunned. Feelings: These four guys are really human! Nai's yes, this dog is definitely worth it!

Gongsun Jian didn't stop in his hand, and continued to cut the meat strips. But the words in his mouth continued: "Eat meat first, and then have the strength to work when you are full." She was captured by the bad guys. I have come tonight to take you to save your master. But all actions must be done at the behest of command. Also, your mission is to keep the girl safe......"
