Chapter 127: Retaining People

Du Motian did bring a message from Yang Feng, as soon as he found out that the Hou was missing, he went to the Northern Army, but it was not easy for an unofficial and unemployed head of the Hou Mansion to enter the Yuanmen, he waited for a whole day before he was allowed to enter the camp, and waited for a long time before he was given a face-to-face instruction by Yang Feng.

The next thing to do is to find out the whereabouts of the Tired Hou.

Du Chuanyun once stalked Ma Da, but unfortunately he was inexperienced and lost his goal in the wilderness, Du Motian's way to find someone was relatively simple, he asked his friends in the rivers and lakes, and asked all the way to Huailing in Jingbei, and was almost left behind, and when he finally found the tired Hou in the village by the river of Kidnapping Lake, it took two days.

"It's so hard to find you." The old man drank a large bowl of water and looked at the three people in the room.

Chao Yongsi's body was removed, and the king of the East Sea sat on a stool in the corner, lost in deep thought with a gloomy face, and snuggled up to the door, boredly cutting a piece of wood with a short knife, occasionally looking up into the distance.

"Old Sect Leader Du, this is the hero of Xiaochunfang Drunken Immortal Building, known as Don't ...... Death"

Don't say coldly: "Stop, I'm a cook, not a hero, and I'm not here to meet a 'hero'." ”

Du Motian smiled and arched his hand, said "long admiration", turned to the tired Hou, and put away his smile, "Is it convenient to talk here?" ”

Han Ruzi nodded, the safety of the entire riverside village depended on the king of the East China Sea, and he would never let this younger brother out of his sight again.

"Yang Gong hopes that the Tired Marquis will go to the Northern Army immediately."

"Hmm." Han Ruzi believes in Yang Feng, but he also needs to hear the reason.

Du Motian glanced at the King of the East China Sea again, and lowered his voice slightly, "Yang Gong said that a large number of imperial relatives and relatives were hinted at by the imperial court, and they were all writing to ask for war. Voluntarily surrendered to the army to serve the country, and the tired Hou should be the same, and he must not return to the capital, Yang Gong has already paved the way for the tired Hou in the Northern Army, just waiting for the tired Hou to arrive. ”

"Madame also suggested that I go to the book to ask for war." Han Ruzi was both happy and surprised, it turned out that Cui Xiaojun and Yang Feng coincided.

The East Sea King in the corner suddenly jumped to the ground. "Ha, I see, the person who wrote to you is my cousin! How could the Cui family be so ...... her" The king of the East China Sea suddenly found that this was not his territory, and hurriedly shut up, sat back on the stool, and pretended to be a statue in a daze.

"It turns out that the tired marquis is ready, so it will be better. Let's send it out, we can't enter the city, we can only go around. If it's faster, it's also here tonight, and the Yang Guild will send someone to answer it. ”

"There are more than 700 people in the village, some of them are old and young, women and children, there are no horses, only a few mules, I am afraid they will not be able to go too fast."

Du Motian was slightly surprised, "There's no need to bring everyone with you. Five or six people at most, and I could find horses after I left the riverside village. ”

Han Ruzi was silent.

The King of the East Sea couldn't help but sneer. "Hey, he's coming to 'Woman's Kindness' again, even the cats and dogs in the village have to be taken away."

Du Motian persuaded: "It's a good thing that the tired marquis is kind-hearted, but it's really not the time to ...... now."

Han Ruzi shook his head and said, "No, I'm thinking about one thing. When Yang Feng invited the old sect leader to come to me. I don't know if I collected an army in the riverside village, right? ”

Du Motian is an old Jianghu, and he scratched his head unconsciously at this time, according to what he saw and heard after entering the village, this could not be regarded as an army at all.

"What can I do in the Northern Army?"

"This ...... Yang Gong had his own arrangements, but he didn't tell me. Du Motian couldn't answer.

The East Sea King laughed. "Can't you guess that? The Queen Mother let a group of imperial relatives join the army, just to put pressure on my uncle, what can you do? Of course, it is to serve as a guard for the champion Hou, each of whom has the title of a general, go to the frontier for a walk, enjoy the scenery outside the Seychelles, and when the queen mother's goal is achieved, you can go home, and everyone will be promoted to the rank of knight. ”

The King of the East China Sea stared at Han Ruzi, "As for you, it is impossible to become an official and become a knight, and Yang Feng will not let you come back, but don't think that he will assist you to become the emperor, think about it, how did Yang Feng persuade the champion Hou to accept you?" Isn't it the same as the Cui family, who wants to use your identity? You trust Yang Feng, but Yang Feng has already changed his master, and the champion Hou has a great future, can you compare? ”

Du Motian said in a low voice: "Don't listen to his nonsense, Yang Gong is not that kind of person." ”

"What kind of person?" The King of the East Sea left the stool and strode over, "How long have you known Yang Feng?" He is a eunuch, for the sake of power, dare to use a knife against himself, who will this kind of person be loyal to? ”

Du Motian hadn't known Yang Feng for long, and he didn't want to argue with the King of the East China Sea, so he turned his head to look to the side, and the person at the door should be more familiar with Yang Feng, but he didn't want to defend him.

The king of the East China Sea did not miss any opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and said to Han Ruzi sincerely: "My previous proposal is still valid, I really don't understand, why don't you believe me?" My cousin is wholeheartedly devoted to you, she is the daughter of the Cui family, and she is very favored by Lao Jun and my uncle, with your cousin here, are you still afraid that the Cui family will harm you? Isn't a family as credible as outsiders? Yang Bong will make you suffer a lot. ”

Han Ruzi smiled, "Thank you for the reminder." ”

The East Sea King's eyes lit up, "You figured it out?" ”

"Hmm." Han Ruzi turned to Du Motian, "Trouble Old Sect Leader Du to go to Yang Gong and tell him that I have formed a 3,000-strong rebel army in the riverside village, and ask him to fight for a banner for the rebel army, and I will wait here." ”

Du Motian and the King of the East China Sea both showed surprise, and one said, "Won't the Tired Marquis go with me to see Yang Gong?" The other said, "Where did you come from the three thousand?" There are only a few hundred ignorant people. ”

Han Ruzi said: "If Yang Gong understands the situation here, he will also agree with my approach, I can't go to the Northern Army alone, it's just a change of prison place." ”

The king of the East China Sea felt incredible, "Your appetite is getting bigger and bigger, ask my uncle for grain, grass and soldiers, ask the queen mother for a net, and ask for the banner of the champion Hou, if you continue like this, are you going to borrow troops from the Huns?" Do you know how hard it is to build a banner? It can be asked by the Ministry of War, approved by the emperor, and awarded the flag by the Metropolitan Governor's Office...... Champion Hou does not have this power at all. ”

Han Ruzi nodded, "Please ask Old Sect Leader Du to tell Yang Gong the words of the King of the East China Sea as well." ”

"Huh?" Du Motian and the East China Sea King were shocked at the same time.

"That's right, I'm making conditions to the Queen Mother, Cui Taifu and Champion Hou, if possible, I want the world to know."

The King of the East China Sea looked stunned, suddenly stomped his feet and snorted, returned to the corner, sat on the stool, and refused to look at Han Ruzi again.

Du Motian still didn't quite understand what the Tired Hou meant, but he didn't ask much: "Okay, since the Tired Hou has made a decision, I'll go to Yang Gong, and I can rush back before sunset tomorrow, please be careful." ”

Han Ruzi sent it to the door, watched Du touch the sky and left, and then looked at the village, the volunteers were in groups of three or five, all discussing something in small areas.

Don't lean on the door all the time, then said: "Everyone wants to get rich overnight, but you have to make a long-term plan, well, it's interesting." ”

Han Ruzi smiled and retreated into the room.

Most of the volunteers were deceived by the hopeful, hoping to re-enthrone the deposed emperor in a few days through a single uprising, and then issue a holy decree to eradicate corrupt officials and save the people from fire and water, only to take them to the far north.

"It was because they refused the government's grain conscription that they embarked on a dangerous road, why should they follow me to fight against the Huns?" Han Ruzi asked.

Don't be indifferent, the East Sea King snorted disdainfully.

"Trouble is coming, don't stay too far away from me." Don't say anything, put away the short knife and wood chips, go to the corner, and stand beside the king of the East Sea.

The King of the East Sea stared at him angrily, received no response, and hung his head in amusement.

The door was open, and a group of people stood outside the door, led by Chao Hua, who saluted the "emperor" with fists at the same time.

"Please come in." Han Ruzi said, standing in the middle of the room, seven or eight steps away from dying.

Only five people entered, and the others remained outside the door, but they could see and hear the scene inside.

"Is there anything you can do?" Han Ruzi asked.

The five of them bowed their heads and humbled each other for a while, and finally Chao Hua raised his head and said, "I want to avenge my father, please allow Your Majesty to allow me to take a group of people out of the village." ”

"General Chao has found the whereabouts of the enemy?"

"Not yet, but since I know it's someone from Chai Mansion, it should be easy to find."

Han Ruzi's gaze swept over the five of them and asked, "Do you still plan to come back?" ”

Not only these five people, but even the faces of the people outside were red, their heads hung lower, Chao Hua was their head, and the blush had to be spoken by him, "We are not here to join Your Majesty to fight as soldiers, Your Majesty is going to the north to meet the Huns, we can't help, please let us go." ”

The king of the East China Sea in the corner whispered to him: "I bet that he will be a 'lonely man' again." ”

Don't even move your eyes, just stand there, as if you don't dare to take an interest in anything.

The King of the East Sea glanced at the two short knives behind his lifeless back, and stopped squeaking.

"You have come here for righteousness, why do you talk about 'letting go'?" Han Ruzi didn't show the slightest anger, and arched his hand: "If you want to go, you can leave at any time, I only have one request." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak." Chao Hua immediately said that it was so easy to resign, which made him greatly relieved, and he was willing to agree to any conditions.

"I hope to give you a little reward."

The King of the East China Sea showed a disgusting expression, and he endured it so that he didn't laugh, but the faces of Chao Hua and the others turned even redder, and someone outside the door said loudly: "Your Majesty has been very good to us, and we haven't done anything for Your Majesty, so we don't deserve to be rewarded." ”

Han Ruzi said with a straight face: "You are willing to come to the riverside, which is the greatest help to me, a little reward, it is a little bit of my heart, please accept it no matter what." Three days, three days at most, the reward will arrive, and I hope you can wait a little longer. ”

The five people in the room looked at each other, then turned to look at the people outside the house for a while, and then turned to Han Ruzi, "We really don't deserve to be rewarded, but we are willing to stay for Your Majesty for three more days." ”

Han Ruzi expressed his gratitude and sent everyone out of the room to cover the door.

The King of the East Sea said disdainfully: "You are really hypocritical, in fact, as long as you open your mouth, these people will stay for three more days, why pretend to be rewarded?" ”

Han Ruzi hadn't squeaked yet, so he didn't want to speak, "For the sake of face, they will verbally agree to stay, and for the sake of reward, they will stay steadfastly, and the tired Hou did the right thing." But if I had to guess, you're not waiting for a reward, it's a crisis. ”

"I'm waiting for both." Han Ruzi said.

He thought that the riverside village was no longer a hidden place, and the crisis would come sooner than the reward. (To be continued.) )
