Chapter 286: The Tribulation Never Returns

After that night, Guo Shao really didn't see Zhou Xian again......

At this time, an extremely important event happened in Hebei: Wang Rao died of illness due to the Zhangde Army.

……

To the northwest of Tokyo, across the Yellow River is Huaizhou: the Heyang Jiedu Envoy Office. Jiedu made Li Jixun not only govern Huaizhou, but also govern the three big cities of Meng, Huai and Ze from south to north. He has been operating here for more than two years.

Li Jixun is forty-one years old, just in the prime of life, he is no longer young, but the experience of military and political affairs and combat formations has accumulated to the point of subversion of life. He has seen the change of dynasties, defected to the Khitan rulers, served the Han dynasty, had great victories and defeats, and seen a lot of storms.

But now, he is facing the biggest hurdle in this life, the biggest wave of life and death.

Li Jixun has a square face, three vertical lines between his eyebrows, standing on the high city wall, holding the hilt of his sword in his left hand, looking at the thousands of troops and horses on the school field. The beard fluttered in the wind, and the armor glistened blindingly in the sun.

"Kill!" The city shouted in unison, and countless soldiers stabbed forward in unison.

The head of the sect on the earthen platform in front of him retracted his horse's steps, raised his cherry spear and stood up straight, and stabbed forward with a sudden stride, shouting violently: "Kill! The army repeated the boring movements again to the beat of the drums.

Farther away, the yellow dust was billowing, and a large group of horsemen were galloping, and the knights were screaming, and they were throwing arrows at the targets on the side of the road, and the horsemen swept by, and the targets were like reeds and shot into hedgehogs.

At this moment, a staff member walked quickly onto the city wall and whispered a few words in Li Jixun's ear. Li Jixun didn't say a word, pressed the sword and turned around and left, he got off the city wall and turned over his horse vigorously, and a small group of iron horsemen roared away.

On both sides of the street, a group of sturdy men brazenly "clang" banged on armor and weapons, and many houses were requisitioned into munitions depots.

There's nothing more to hide! No matter how much they tried to cover it up, they couldn't hide his attempt to reorganize the armament for war.

Walking to the door, Yang Ji, a close member of the ministry who had been with him for a long time, stepped forward and bowed: "Lord, all the prisoners in the Three Cities Prison have been released!" plus the strong men recruited, there were 10,000 troops. ”

Li Jixun nodded and walked straight into the lobby, where several people in armor and two people in robes stood up to worship.

"No courtesy." Li Jixun waved to a few people, turned his head and said, "Shou'en, are you sure that Wang Shizhong (Wang Rao) is sick?" ”

His eldest son, Li Shouen, said: "According to his father's order, my son sent a fast horse to Hebei to contact Wang Shizhong, but I found that Wang Shizhong had died of illness and the city had been mourned, so I can't be wrong!" ”

"Li Yun's eldest daughter is about to be married, and she is the same age as your second brother and is a good match. You immediately went to Luzhou in person and proposed to Li Yun. Li Jixun said in a deep voice.

The staff admonished: "No, the lord can send an envoy to go, it is too dangerous for the eldest prince to go." ”

Li Jixun ignored it, recruited his eldest son Shouen into the signing room, and granted him the opportunity. Li Jixun said solemnly: "My father is not worried about Shou'en's trip, but this matter is related to the survival of my Li family!" We must do our best to pull Li Yun into the house. ”

Shou'en Zhengse bowed and said, "Father, my son knows your hard work very well. ”

Li Jixun said: "Back then, my father and Zhao Kuangyin and other brothers were collectively called the 'Ten Brothers of the Righteous Society', and the ten brothers fled without dying, and my father was spared because he was not in Tokyo. Tokyo villains will never let us go!

Now we can no longer obey the orders of Tokyo, and for my father, I thought about going north and defecting to Brother Zhao (Zhao Kuangyin). But now Zhao Kuangyin is weak in the Northern Han Dynasty, and it is difficult to protect himself, and it is unpredictable to be lucky and unfortunate on the way to run thousands of miles. It is better to raise troops and wait and see what happens. As long as Li Yun joins the house, plus Li Chongjin in the north, Heyang and Hedong will be connected; Entering can wait for Tokyo to plan big things when it is turbulent, and retreating can lead the pro-army to the north into the Northern Han Dynasty and be invincible. Li Yun is very important. ”

Shou En said: "My son will not fail in his mission!" ”

……

Long Live the Hall of Tokyo, Fu Jinzhan has just heard the news of Wang Rao's death.

The spacious and empty dormitory, the building is old, old and quaint, and with the purple drapery, there is mystery and solemnity in the dark tone here. But it is also easy to cause people's emotions to be heavy. The surrounding palace maids stood quietly, not daring to make a sound.

Fu Jinzhan thought for a while and decided on some ideas. There is no need to ask Chai Gui to divorce his wife, the original intention of letting Wang Rao and Chai Gui marry was to stabilize Wang Rao...... The key to the fight will be on Li Yun alone.

She was not in a good mood, not only because of political affairs. The words of the eunuch Wang Zhong just now were still in her ears: five days ago, Li Yu and his wife were at Chen's house in the west of the city, and General Guo had been there; General Guo also went to Chen's house yesterday night and returned late at night.

Wang Zhong used to be in charge of the Imperial City Division, a detailed organization with few people; Wang Zhong was reinstated after being released, and he was still in charge of the places he was in charge of.

Fu Jinzhan sat alone for a while, then he didn't care, waved his hand to retreat from the palace maid, and said to Mu Shanggong: "I'm a little tired, I want to take a nap for a while, and wake me up in an hour." ”

"Whoa." Mushang Palace bowed his knees.

After a short time, Fu Jinzhan fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly, the palace was miserable, and she still had a thought in her heart, was it in a dream at this time?

...... "Where is my head?" Suddenly, a voice said.

When Fu Jinzhan saw it, he was so frightened that he couldn't breathe, and he saw a headless general in armor touching the side of the bed, and the blood on his neck was still gushing out. The blankets on the bed were splattered with blood. Fu Jinzhan wanted to call someone, but he couldn't make a sound, and he opened his mouth as if he couldn't breathe.

Then I saw the white smoke at the gate of the palace, and a group of generals covered in blood stared at them with hateful eyes and floated in. They shed blood like soldiers from the underworld. There was another man in a dragon robe behind him, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but Fu Jinzhan didn't know why he knew that he was Chai Rong!

"I'm back again!" The dragon-robed man looked up and laughed.

Then Zhao Kuangyin and others also came, Zhao Kuangyin said: "Your Majesty, arrest her back, let her life be worse than death!" ”

"Guo Shao!" Fu Jinzhan finally shouted.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and the sun was shining in from the carved window from the westerly direction, and there was silence around her. Where did the miserable rain come from, and where did there be people? Fu Jinzhan sat on the bed, only to feel that his forehead was full of sweat, and his chest rose and fell.

At this time, I saw Mu Shanggong walking in quickly: "Queen Mother......"

"What did I just shout?" Fu Jinzhan asked.

Mu Shanggong was stunned, lowered his hand and bent over, "The slave didn't hear anything." ”

"I told you to tell the truth!" Fu Jinzhan said angrily.

Mu Shanggong said: "The Queen Mother didn't say anything, the slave maid just heard movement on the bed and came in to take a look." ”

Fu Jinzhan frowned and looked at her, and said, "I want to see General Guo immediately and ask someone to summon him into the palace!" ”

"Will you meet you at the Hall of Long Life?" Mushang Palace Road.

Fu Jinzhan groaned: "Go to the apse of Jinxiang Palace." ”

She instructed the palace maid to come in to serve and change clothes, and casually wore a yellow regular dress and got off, took a sedan chair through the Xuanyou Gate, and went to the Jinxiang Hall in the south. She waited in a study in the apse.

After a while, I heard Guo Shao say outside the curtain: "The minister knocked to see the Queen Mother." ”

When Fu Jinzhan heard this calm and masculine voice, her heart calmed slightly, and she said in a trembling voice: "You come in, everyone else goes out!" Guo Shao lifted the curtain and bowed in by himself, looked up at Fu Jinzhan and his expression changed slightly: "Queen Mother, what happened?" Wang Rao's business? ”

"You've seen Zhou Xian before?" Fu Jinzhan asked directly.

Guo Shaodao: "I have seen it, plus the arrangement of the Queen Mother the day before yesterday, I have seen it three times." ”

Fu Jinzhan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this: "Why didn't you tell me? ”

"The Queen Mother didn't ask." Guo Shaodao. Fu Jinzhan asked again, "What do you see her doing?" Did you have sex all three times? ”

Guo Shaodao: "The first time was when she wanted me to help Li Yu, the second time the Queen Mother forced her, and the third time was when Li Yu forced her." ”

"Are you tempted by Zhou Xian?" Fu Jinzhan frowned and asked.

Guo Shao said: "The Queen Mother can strictly order me not to touch other women, if there is such a request, instead of saying that she wants to build a building for me, the first thing may not happen." So that I have a thought in my heart and can hold on to it...... But ......"

"But how?" Fu Jinzhan looked at his face.

"If ordered now, there is an exception. Li Chuyun's eldest daughter, I have to admit her into the door first, otherwise it will be easy to cause more trouble; Li Chuyun dotes on her very much, and if I am too ruthless to her, maybe she will do something and say something. ”

Fu Jinzhan said: "I just said that I would stick to my thoughts, and I will talk about the conditions again." It can be seen that I can't stop you if I want to. ”

Guo Shao stood there with a guilty face.

Fu Jinzhan exhaled softly, and said quietly: "I'm not the second sister of Fu, and it's not my turn to be jealous...... At noon I had a dream that all the people I had killed had come to me as ghosts. ”

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother ......"

Fu Jinzhan sighed tactfully, "Zhou Xian's balance is actually right, although the Central Plains is strong, the dynasty will change once in the next ten years after the Tang Dynasty, and the people in the palace will change every few years." What will happen to us? ”

"Queen Mother, the world has been in turmoil for half a century...... For 50 years, the top and bottom have suffered from it, and people are at ease. The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, and it is time to unify the world for long-term peace and stability. Guo Shao said, "Since we have come to this point, we should follow the general trend and complete the mission of the superiors." ”

Fu Jinzhan said in a trembling voice: "But I'm still very afraid, except for you...... I have nothing left. ”

Guo Shao was stunned and said, "How can I make the Queen Mother feel at ease?" Fu Jinzhan got up, paced a few steps, thought for a long time, and then said: "Maybe I'm restless today to ...... like this."

She remembered Chai Gui's matter again, and just asked Cao Tai to hint at it, and Chai Gui said on the spot that he would divorce his wife...... Now that the situation has changed, Fu Jinzhan has to send someone to stop him again. Many people know that Chai Gui has a deep affection for his wife, but when he encounters something, he is as fragile as a layer of paper.

Fortunately, Guo Shao is not Chai Gui.

At this moment, Guo Shao said with a look of shame: "Please punish the Queen Mother." ”

Fu Jinzhan sighed and whispered: "I can't bear to punish you, I'd rather never recover myself......"
