After the royal family and the men and horses of Luoyang Zhou Gong entered the city, they were automatically divided into two groups. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhou Gong unhumbly occupied the Washington mansion where Gongziban lived, and the thousands of soldiers accompanying him also crowded in, but fortunately, this courtyard was very large, and there was an old barracks behind it, and it was still possible to live in it. Zhou Bian led hundreds of his own people to live in another compound, which was originally the courtyard of a nobleman in the city, but after the son's class came, the nobleman who was not satisfied with him was beheaded, so he was idle so far, and Zhou Bian's men and horses happened to live in. The surrendered Gongyi soldiers still returned to the barracks in the west of the city, but there was no longer anyone on the city wall to fortify, and now the three groups of men and horses are in the city, but they don't know who else to defend, so the soldiers of Gongyi have a rare good rest for an afternoon.

In the hall of Washington, Zhou Gong and Ning Yue had been silent for a long time, and the two of them looked to the side, not knowing what they were thinking in their hearts. Since Zhou Gong threw the cup in his hand, the subordinates stayed away, and General Long and they were also busy settling the soldiers, so no one came to disturb them. The master and servant were silent for a long time before Zhou Gong spoke, "Ning Aiqing, the widow now thinks that your previous proposal is very right. Gongyi is rich in agricultural products, it was rumored to be the granary of the royal family earlier, the widow still doesn't believe it, today I asked the general of Gongyi, and looked at the records of previous years, only to find that this year is a little worse, but also stronger than my Luoyang, I Luoyang people are all concerned about business, who still farms. Therefore, the widow decided that the land of Gongyi belonged to the widow, since it was Ning Aiqing's proposal, then it was up to you to persuade the royal family to drive away the royal division, and the widow did not want to meet with the royal family. ”

"The lord is wise! The subordinate has an order. Ning Yue reacted and hurriedly knelt down.

"If it's not Aiqing, the widow can't have today's position, Aiqing is the manager of my Zhou office, and I hope Aiqing will teach me more in the future! The widow is a little rude, and I hope Aiqing will not blame the widow. As he spoke, Zhou Gong stepped down and helped him up.

"It's all right, my lord. Your Majesty wishes that my Lord will magnify the Zhou Room and achieve a career, if you can do so, Your Majesty will never give up. It's just that Hugh wants to compare his subordinates to Guan Zhong again, and he doesn't dare to be it. Ning Yue showed a touched expression on his face.

"It's fine. In the future, you and I will be united in our determination to make the princes and powers dare not underestimate them. Zhou Gong's mood was also high.

"It's just that the lord, it's time for dinner, do you want to invite the king again?" Ning Yue reminded.

"Well, that's true, then you can go and call the king for the widow."

A quarter of an hour later, a banquet was set up in the hall, Zhou Bian came slowly with a group of people, Zhou Gong looked at everyone casually, but after a circle, he showed doubts, "Hey, didn't the young master come?" ”

Zhou Bian couldn't help but smile apologetically, "The young master drank too much at noon, and he still didn't wake up at this time, please forgive Zhou Gong, and let the young master toast Zhou Gong next time." ”

Oh, Zhou Gong touched his beard, revealing a smug face.

It's just that how could the young master get drunk, although the young master's head was a little dizzy at this time, but the big things were still done. Under the leadership of Li An, the former prisoner of Gongyi, the young master sneaked out and met with Li Ding, the centurion who surrendered to the Duke of Zhou, and others. In the previous meeting between Li An and Li Ding, Li An only mentioned that Li Ding should pretend to surrender to Zhou Gong, but did not mention Zhou Bian's intention to attack Zhou Gong. At this time, after the young master said the plan, Li Ding suddenly realized, although he expressed some doubts, but finally nodded and agreed.

The dinner was not as long as the luncheon, although Zhou Gong's interest was high, but he suffered from the lack of good wine, Zhou Bian toasted again and again, Zhou Gong was dry in one mouthful, but after a few glasses of stomach, Zhou Gong's wine was not very happy. And most of the courtiers were drunk and didn't wake up at noon, so after half an hour, the dinner party was dispersed.

It was already dark early in September, and when I walked back to the small courtyard where the royal family was, a lantern had been hung at the door, and when I walked into the courtyard, the young master greeted him, "My lord, Li Ding has already negotiated there, according to the old minister, Li Ding's service to the royal family is indeed true, but he still has doubts about tonight's arrangement." ”

"Did he agree to do what we had arranged?" Zhou Bian is concerned about this.

The young master nodded, "He agreed." ”

"That's fine, as long as he obeys the royal family's arrangement tonight, his wealth is indispensable. Is there a commotion in the barracks of Duke Zhou? ”

The young master shook his head, "Our spies didn't notice that everything was normal in the Zhou Courtyard, and no one rushed in. ”

"Good. It seems that Sima Tu is doing a good job there, and the king is only worried that Zhou Gong will get the news during the day, which will be detrimental to the king's plan. It's just that the young master is not here tonight, and this king failed to get drunk with Zhou Gong, which is a pity, and I don't know how much impact it will have on his actions at night. ”

"The king is too worried. Thinking that the bright moon in the sky is impossible to be round every night, everything has flaws, and it is enough for us to do this now. The young master comforted.

Hearing this, Zhou Bian smiled slightly, it is true that things are so satisfying, as long as they win in the end, it will be good, so he changed the topic, "Why haven't we got news from Luoyang, I don't know what the result of Bai Gui and them is." Could it be that Sima Tu was confused and stopped the person sent by Bai Gui to report the news? ”

"Probably not, although Sima Tu is good at drilling camps and vacillating, he is still unambiguous in doing big things, and he will not make mistakes in this kind of thing." The young master said affirmatively.

Sure enough, in order to confirm the young master's words, when he was talking about this, a guard came to report, "Luoyang has come to report the news." ”

Zhou Bian and the young master smiled at each other, and let the latter come in. After carefully checking his identity, he made him kneel in front of Zhou Bian, and this young man was obviously the first time he saw the king, and he was still a little nervous, although he came on horseback, he was still exhausted, and he insisted on recounting what happened in Luoyang.

After listening, Zhou Bian frowned deeply, who is that group of people in black, what is their purpose, is it the same as himself to get Luoyang, but what is their identity, how can they conclude that they can get Luoyang by killing Zhou Gong, and they are not afraid of royal interference?

The young master also wondered on the side, "King, the situation is unclear now, and I don't know if those people will make trouble in Gongyi, do you want to change the arrangement for the night a little?" ”

Zhou Bian shook his head, "No, we are not sure how the other party will deal with Zhou Gong, so there is no way to make changes." In addition, it was already dark, the street was empty, and then sneaked into the Gongyi barracks to contact Li Ding, the road was very easy to be discovered, Li Ding did not know that the young master would come at night, the young master was in the barracks, but I was afraid that I would not be able to find Li Ding's camp for a while. In the king's view, the other party's goals should be the same as ours, and they can only help us, so we just need to carry out the original plan. In addition, we still need to enter Luoyang first, otherwise if the other party has another origin and let the Luoyang nobles all serve him, we will have no chance. ”

The young master nodded, waved his hand, and ordered the messenger to rest and rest. There was only silence left in the room, after blowing off the lamp, Young Master Zhou Bian and the others did not undress and lay down, and hundreds of people in Quancheng Zhou had already known that something big would happen tonight, so they were all under the advice of the chief, and in the quiet night, they tightly touched the spear in their hands, and quietly waited for the change that the king said.

The night is already deep, the whole Gongyi city is quiet, although today Gongyi has changed the sky, and I don't know whether the royal family or the Duke of Zhou will govern him in the future, but the people of Gongyi in the whole city have fallen asleep, although there are snoring and dog barking from time to time, but it is even more silent at night.

At the beginning of the day, a group of heavily armed warriors, led by an oil lamp, hurried towards the courtyard in the center of the city. Along the way, I didn't see a soldier jumping out to block and ask, Li Ding's brows stretched a lot, it seems that Zhou Gong is really going to die this time, and he bet on the king, and he really bet on the king. Originally, he didn't believe the young master's words very much, but Li Ding still sent someone to guard outside the west gate according to the arrangement, and sure enough, in the middle of the night, someone hurriedly came from the west, and when he met someone, he shouted that Luoyang was in chaos without asking about it, Li Ding's people hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and then separated one person to rush back to report first. The messenger ran a hundred miles wildly, and he was already tired at this time, so it would take a while to rush to Gongyi City. After learning of this, Li Ding took the warriors who had already been selected, and hurried to Zhou Gong's residence, according to the young master's arrangement, he must control Zhou Gong while the messenger rushed to Zhou Gong's camp.

Thinking of this, Li Ding couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, that was the Duke of Zhou of the royal family, rich in Luoyang, with thousands of soldiers in his hands, and he was a small centurion, who usually didn't even dare to look at Duke Zhou, could he succeed? But thinking of the plan that the young master said, Li Ding's heart eased a little, the king is really wise, he has made such a comprehensive layout, but I heard that the king is still young, less than ten years old, could it be that these plans were all thought up by the young master?

When he was thinking about it in his head, the people in front of him took a certain step, and a dozen or so people stopped, and Li Ding raised his eyes to look carefully, and it turned out that he had already arrived outside the gate of the mansion. Zhou Gong's residence, naturally, there were people waiting in the middle of the night, and when he saw a team of warriors hurrying over, the guards at the panicked door hurriedly raised their spears and pointed at everyone, "What are you doing, this is Zhou Gong's residence, and you dare to disturb in the middle of the night?" ”

Li Ding hurriedly greeted him, "A certain is a general of Gongyi, and he suddenly got an important news, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he had to report to Zhou Gong even in the middle of the night." ”

As soon as they heard that it might be a big deal, those little soldiers didn't dare to slack off, so they shouted, "You just wait at the door first, and let me go in and report to the commander before I can decide." With that, a soldier turned and ran in, and a moment later came out, followed by a man who looked like an officer.

As soon as this man came out, several small soldiers at the door bent down and said, "General Tu, they said that they had something important and wanted to go in and report to Duke Zhou." The little ones didn't know whether to let them go or not, so they had to disturb the general. ”

"It's okay, tonight is a certain family on duty, so you have to be responsible, so a certain family will ask the person who came." With that, General Tu walked down.

It wasn't until he walked in front of Li Ding that General Tu asked in a low voice, "You are Li Ding's people, right?" ”

Li Ding nodded hurriedly, only to hear the officer on duty at night say in a smaller voice, "A certain person is also from the royal family, you go in first, and my younger brother is also waiting in the courtyard to do something, you can rest assured to do it." After finishing speaking, Li Ding said loudly from behind, "Hurry up and let this General Li go, there is indeed a great matter that must be reported to Duke Zhou, if it is delayed, none of you can afford it." ”

Li Ding's heart suddenly settled, and after arching his hand at General Tu, his figure flashed, and the group quickly walked in from the way out of the guards at the door.

The courtyard was quiet, remembering that what the young master said was true, Li Ding's confidence in success deepened a lot, but the innermost door had to be done by himself, so seeing that he was about to arrive at Zhou Gong's bedroom, Li Ding took a deep breath and walked over.

Sure enough, someone blocked the door of the dormitory, Li Ding didn't dare to act rashly, so he said the words that he had just entered the gate again, and the soldier naturally didn't dare to slack off, and after waiting for a while, he went to call the adult who could be responsible.

For a while, just when Li Ding was worried that the person from Luoyang who was coming to report the news was about to arrive at the barracks, the soldier returned, followed by a robed soldier, yawning as he walked, and only after approaching did the man cover his mouth and ask impatiently, "Who is coming?" What's the big deal? Let's listen to Dr. Ben. ”

Li Ding's heartbeat accelerated when he heard this voice, and he didn't expect that it was Ning Yue, who was the most worried in the young master's mouth.
