Chapter 178: Return (Part II)

Geng Gong didn't speak, just looked at Dou Gu quietly. Dou Gu said: "The leaves fall back to the roots, my life has come to an end, I am from Pingling, I just want to take a look before I die, the place where I was born and raised." This way, hiding, hiding, suffering, to Maoling, but hunger unbearable, just in front of an inn, there are buns, and there is no one around, I, I, I can't help it, just ......"

Dou Gu looked ashamed and lowered his head. Geng Gong sighed secretly: "Before Dou Gu, he was in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and he had life and death to seize power, and enjoyed the prosperity of the world, but I didn't expect that he would fall to such a point!" He took out a piece of gold from his bosom and said, "General Dou, please smile at this." ”

Dou Gu hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to grab it, and said, "The grace of the gift is unforgettable." Geng Gong shook his head.

Dou Gu suddenly stared at Geng Gong tightly, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes: "Geng Gong, you were born in Jiangmen, a young hero, fighting the Huns, seizing the chariot division, collecting Wusun, guarding Shule, protecting the palace, Pingxi Qiang, fighting in the east and west, with great achievements, there are Han people, who can be compared with you, but there are only a handful, let alone today's world." Why did they end up being relegated to commoners? ”

Geng Gong was taken aback, his hand involuntarily grabbed the holy decree in his arms, and said in a lost voice: "You, how do you know?" ”

Dou Gu laughed: "The world, is there anything I don't know?" He stopped suddenly, his face solemn: "Ma Fang's defeat was not only fruitless, but guilty, the emperor called him into the court, do you know why?" ”

Geng Gong seemed to have an understanding, his heart was pounding, but he shook his head and said nothing.

"Ma Fang is not a real general, and he is eager for quick success, and he is rash against the enemy, how can he be undefeated? The emperor is not unaware, but Ma anti-corruption work, fell into Miwu's plan to lure the enemy, and his life is almost guaranteed! After he entered the court, the emperor immediately named him the Marquis of Yingyang, Ma Liao as the Marquis of Shunyang, and Ma Guang as the Marquis of Xu. I am a big man, only Wang Mang's family can receive this emperor's favor! General Geng, you say, is this a blessing or a curse? ”

Geng Gong sighed, drank the wine in his glass, and was silent. He suddenly remembered that when he was full of spirit, in order to "not pawn soldiers for his relatives", he persuaded his brother Geng Bing to admonish him directly, and was imprisoned. Now it seems a little ridiculous.

Dou Gu sneered, and also drank a glass of wine, the wine was stained on the messy beard, shining in the sun, he slammed the table, and said angrily: "Ma Fang villain, what is it, in front of me before, it was just a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy!" However, the anger in Dou Gu's eyes instantly calmed down, and he sighed, "Actually, I'm just being kept in the dark, he was originally pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger." Dou Gu was silent, as if reminiscing about the past.

After a while, Dou Gu said: "Ma Fang Ping Xiqiang, there are countless soldiers, how can there be a size?" But after he was enthroned, the first incident came to impeach you, saying that you did not worry about the military in Xiqiang, had lax discipline, violated the general's order, and acted without authorization, causing the Han soldiers to be drowned by the Qiang army in the water, and his crime should be beheaded! ”

Geng Gong's heart was gloomy. Dou Gu slapped it heavily on the table and said sharply: "The emperor actually believed in Ma Fang, and was about to make a decree to return you to the court, but fortunately, Bao Yu and others tried their best to dissuade you, and the emperor was less colorful, so he first issued a decree to let you return to the court and confront the court." However, Ma Fang was weak-minded, afraid that after you entered the court, it would be unfavorable to him, so he slandered you again, and directly demoted you to a civilian, and you were not allowed to enter the capital! ”

Geng Gong was dazed, took a sip of wine, but did not perceive the fierceness of the wine at all, and said: "I, Geng, am the founding minister, loyal Geng, the sun and the moon can edict, Hugh said that demoting me to a commoner is to chop me into pieces, and I have no complaints!" ”

"Good, good!" Dou Gu applauded: "What a loyal minister!" What a loyal servant! But so what? Emperor Gaozu has the world, those heroes who fought with him in the south and the north were killed cleanly, since ancient times, how ruthless the kings are, I ......"

Geng Gong pushed the table, stood up angrily, and said sharply: "General Dou, I don't want to hear this!" ”

Dou Gu sneered: "Okay, the old man won't say it!" Geng Gong, do you know the whereabouts of Princess Yurong? ”

Geng Gong was shocked and sat down blankly: "I met her in Xiqiang, but the battlefield is dangerous, so I sent someone to send her back, she, she should be in Luoyang......"

"No, she's long gone in Luoyang......"

Geng Gong was taken aback and said in a lost voice: "She's not in Luoyang?" So where did she go? He thought sadly: "Yurong is so weak and ignorant of the world, where will she go if she is alone?" And how can it withstand the ups and downs? Suddenly, my heart was like a knife, and I drank three glasses in a row.

"I don't know where she went, but I know how she left Luoyang!"

"How did you leave?"

"The emperor didn't like Yurong, she went out of the palace without permission, and the emperor was furious, reprimanded, and imprisoned her in the Cold Moon Palace. The horse defense is still unwilling, and he slanders day and night. Yurong sat alone in the cold palace, crying. The emperor was furious, and immediately expelled her from the palace, locked her in my Dou General's Mansion, and sent someone to guard her. My nephew Dou Xian couldn't rest assured, so he secretly looked at it a few times, and saw Yurong in the empty general, whimpering and crying, very pitiful. One night, wind and rain, lightning and thunder, my nephew broke into the General's Mansion alone, but he didn't expect to be discovered, they fought together, and the General's Mansion was in chaos. After fighting for a long time, Dou Xian finally killed it, but found that Yurong was gone! The old man was thinking that she must have taken advantage of the chaos to escape from the General's Mansion! But where she went, no one knows! ”
