Rong Hong drank a lot of wine today, and when he came out, he talked to Xiang Zhen for a while, but he was agitated by the cold wind, and when he got into the carriage, he was a little dazed. When I returned to the inn, I fell asleep.

For Rong Hong, in the past few years, he has basically ushered in the peak of his political career, and for an old man over sixty years old, he is already full of ambition.

If the current situation continues, he thinks that until the end of his life, he will still stand at the top of this world, and after death, the title of a prince is indispensable.

Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for!

In a daze, he actually dreamed that he was being buried by the scenery, and King Min was the last coffin for himself. Ten miles of long road, white flags flying, hundreds of people, mourning on the street, the emperor supporting the spirit, waiting for the coffin, throughout the ages, how many people can there be?

Rong Hong laughed happily, like an outsider, floating in the air as he watched his corpse being sent to the cemetery that had been prepared a long time ago.

The wind rises, the sun disappears, and the sand flies away.

Rong Hong's color changed in horror.

A gold-armored god of war descended from the sky, wielding a sledgehammer in his hand, without saying a word, and in Rong Hong's exclamation, he smashed the heavy coffin into pieces with a hammer.

Rong Hong screamed, and Huo Ran sat up from the bed.

"Jie Shuai!" In front of the bed, Cui Kai, the head of Rong Hong's guards, was standing anxiously at the head of the bed, calling out to him constantly.

Wiping a handful of cold sweat from his head, Rong Hong breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately it was a dream.

However, this dream cast a layer of gloom in his heart, which seemed to be a bad omen.

Cui Kai is a steady person, there is nothing urgent, and he will definitely not disturb him at this time.

"What's going on?" Turning over and getting out of bed, while draping his clothes and pulling on his shoes, Rong Hong asked.

"Jie Shuai, I don't know what's going on? The front army of the imperial camp suddenly sent a large force of men and horses to surround the post house where we lived. Cui Kai said: "I went out to negotiate, but the officer who led the team didn't know anything, only said that he was ordered by the top, but he refused to say anything else." It's not even good for money. ”

Rong Hong was startled, walked quickly to the window, pushed open the window, and looked down, sure enough, as far as his eyes could see, there were soldiers from the front army of the imperial camp. And a little farther away, you can also see the figure of cavalry galloping back and forth.

"Something's wrong!" Rong Hong, who was experienced in political struggle, knew in an instant that the situation was serious.

He and Xiang Xun have been friends for decades, and he has always been Xiang Xun's first horse, and he is Xiang Xun's hardcore confidant, and Xiang Xun will never send troops to surround his residence.

There are only two possibilities.

One is that something happened in the city, and Xiang Xun sent an army to protect himself.

The second is that Xiang Xun has had an accident, and the front army of the imperial camp has all fallen into the hands of others.

Xiang Xun watched the soldiers outside standing solemnly in the cold wind, and he didn't want to believe that it was the second one.

But either one, it's not a good thing.

Because it can make waves in the city of Guangzhou, the people who make a big move in front of the imperial camp can be counted on one hand. Even if the spies of the Northern Tang Internal Guard are powerful, it is impossible to do this.

He slowly retreated, sat down at the table, lifted a pot of cold water on the table, and gulped several gulps.

"Jie Shuai, what should we do now?" Cui Kai asked.

"Wait!" Under the cold water, the whole person's internal organs and abdomen were cold and swishing, but Rong Hong also calmed down, no matter what the reason, at least his life was fine, otherwise, it would not be the scene in front of him. "Whatever happens, I think they'll be the first to come to me. Tell us that everyone stays in the inn, and no one is allowed to go out, nor to inquire, let alone make trouble. At this time, the slightest bad stimulus may provoke a big change. ”

"I'll arrange it!" Cui Kai nodded repeatedly.

Rong Hong was not wrong, when the sky was just bright, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside, and it was obvious that someone was coming. Cui Kai, who had been waiting by his side, hurriedly walked to the window, pushed the window open a gap, and when he saw the people below, he gasped.

"Jie Shuai, it's General Xiang Zhenxiang!" Cui Kai's voice was a little out of tune.

As Rong Hong's cronies, Cui Kai is naturally very clear about the current Guangzhou Imperial Court and the transfer of power within the Lingnan Festival. Now, Xiang Zhen is basically in a marginal position, excluded from the center of power, but now, it is he who appears in the post house, which can already explain a lot of problems.

Rong Hong, who had already stood up, sat down again, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Jie Shuai, I'll go to greet the general!" Cui Kai took a breath, calmed himself down, and said to Rong Hong.

Rong Hong nodded.

A moment later, Xiang Zhen appeared in front of Rong Hong alone, accompanied by Cui Kai.

"I disturbed my uncle to know that it's all nephews!" Xiang Zhen's face was normal, as if nothing had happened, and he bowed with his hands crossed.

"I'm old, and I can't sleep much." Rong Hong raised his head, squinted his eyes at Xiang Zhen, and said, "You are really calm, you said goodbye yesterday night, and you didn't move at all, but in the blink of an eye, the world was turned upside down." ”

Xiang Zhen smiled and said: "It's not earth-shattering, it's basically uneventful." In fact, the front army of the imperial camp, the army of the imperial camp, including most of the officials of the DPRK and China, are extremely dissatisfied with the current situation, they want to change the situation in front of them, and the nephew is also helpless, and they are carrying forward, and they can't even leave. ”

"Did the front army of the imperial camp and the rear army of the imperial camp follow you?" Rong Hong and Cui Kai both gasped. The original Lingnan Army stationed inside and outside the city of Guangzhou was all changed into the three armies in front of the imperial camp, the middle and the rear, and now the rear army was taken to Jiangxi by Xiang Jun, and the remaining two armies in the middle and first were taken by Xiang Zhen.

"Xiang Zheng is really a waste!" Rong Hong couldn't help but shake his head: "It's been almost two years since I was in charge of the front army of the imperial camp, and in front of you, I can't even let out a fart." ”

Hearing Rong Hong swearing, Xiang Zhen couldn't help laughing: "Uncle, since you know that he is a waste, let him be in charge of the front army of the imperial camp, it can be seen that it is really a joke." ”

Rong Hong sighed: "After the defeat of the Eyue army, your father alienated you, and I actually disagreed. ”

"I know." Xiang Zhen nodded and said: "Uncle said justice for me, aside from the combat effectiveness of the Northern Tang Army, which is indeed strong, but at that time, Jiangxi and Hunan refused to send troops to help, and Liu Xinda fought against the water, which led to the defeat of my army, but even so, I still have to say that in this battle, my army still played its own style." ”

"I've heard of that, too. Even the Northern Tang side has a lot of praise for you. Rong Hongdao. But Xiang Zhen, why is this, your father will still reuse you after all. Is temporary estrangement just a way to hone your character? ”

"I'm afraid it's not what my uncle thinks!" Xiang Zhen shook his head and said: "Actually, these things aside, my actions this time are not because my father has alienated me. ”

"Why?"

"The defeat of Eyue completely woke me up." Xiang Zhen said: "After I came back, I have been thinking, how can I defeat Li Ze? No, no, not to defeat Li Ze, but how can we maintain the current situation? ”

"Did you think of that?"

"I don't know what I'm going to do? But obviously, according to your father and you, it will never work. Xiang Zhen said: "So we can only change." Perhaps, change will die faster, but if you put it to death, you can find another way, or you can turn defeat into victory. And with your methods, we will die slowly, unconsciously. ”

Rong Hong sneered: "You feel stronger than us now, we eat more salt than you eat, we cross more bridges than you walk, and the current method is the safest way." ”

"Uncle, being young is not a problem, Li Ze is more than ten years younger than me!" Xiang Zhendao: "But now people already own half of the Tang Dynasty, and they are called lonely." ”

Rong Hong was choked upside down, and only after a while did he brush his sleeves and say: "I'll go and tell your father, since things are already like this, then so be it, if you want military power, give you military power, Xiang Zheng and Xiang Jun are far inferior to you." ”

Xiang Zhen bowed his head slightly, and said: "Uncle Good God knows that my father drank too much last night, and he was sent to him and suffered some cold, and he had an argument with his nephew, and he was angry, but now he has a stroke and is bedridden, and he can't even speak." Where are the most famous doctors in Guangzhou City rescuing, and I don't know if there is a technique to return to heaven that can pull my father back from the gate of the Yama Palace. ”

Seeing Xiang Zhen's face calmly say this, the tall and burly figure of Cui Kai behind Rong Hong swayed, and his face became extremely strange. hand, unconsciously grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist.

What kind of stroke couch, I'm afraid that I was made couch by Xiang Zhen, right?

Rong Hong seemed to be startled, his eyes widened and he looked at Xiang Zhen, his fists clenched.

After a long time, he said: "Xiang Zhen, why is this, why is this here?" ”

"If you don't spit out the old, how to accept the new!"

"Then when you come today, are you going to vomit my old one?" Rong Hong said angrily.

Xiang Zhen bowed again: "Uncle is too worried." The first time I came to visit my uncle today was to hope that he would come out to help my nephew take charge of the overall situation and stabilize the situation. In the Southern Alliance, apart from my father, I count you as the oldest and most experienced. If you don't show up, your nephew will be really difficult to end for a while! ”

Rong Hong was silent for a long time, and then looked up to the sky and sighed: "That's it, Xiang Zhen, I want to meet my old brother, okay?" ”

"Xiang Zhen will arrange it immediately!"
