Chapter 104: Bait and Loyalty
Ouyang Gui also noticed that her eyes were staring at the short knife in her waist, took off the short knife, sent it to Han Meng, lowered her body and said, "Do you recognize this knife?" ”。 [Ran^Text^Library] []
Han Meng nodded, and then said, "I seem to have used this knife, it should be two short knives that can emit blue light." It's just that the folk girls don't know where to use it." "It seems that everything is providential", Ouyang Gui turned his head to look at Ouyang Xuan and said. Ouyang Xuan nodded and said, "Everything is arranged by heaven, you will teach you some of your mother's skills back then with her." Ouyang Gui turned his head to look at Han Meng, who was a little scared, and looked into the distance alertly, there were five guards in civilian clothes in the distance, guarding the perimeter in a wartime formation. Half-squatting and picking up Han Meng, he could obviously feel Han Meng trembling a little, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, do you think I am so terrible?" ”。
"Daddy said that Your Majesty and the Holy Emperor are immortal bodies, which are beyond the reach of mortals such as us, and there is no glory in sight." Ouyang Gui scratched Han Meng's nose and said, "You and I are mortals, where did you get any immortal bodies." In the future, you can come and go here as you like, and the palace will be your second home." After speaking, he took off his waist card from his waist and gave it to Han Meng, "In the future, you can freely enter and exit the palace with this waist card."
"Haha, good, so good", Ouyang Xuan walked over and clapped his hands and said. The two phoenix emperor paws grabbed Buick Guli's back ring, and they carried it to Ouyang Gui, Buick and Guli looked up at Han Meng curiously, their eyes were full of love. Ouyang Gui was very happy when he saw it, and put Han Meng on the back of the Buick, just like he rode a white wolf back then. "Let's go play, I didn't expect this mythical beast to still recognize its owner." Watching Buick Guli and Fenghuang take Han Meng to look for freshly emerging straw mushrooms and fresh wild vegetables on the grass, Ouyang Gui smiled happily. "Father, the son remembers that he was picking wild vegetables and straw mushrooms like this back then, and the queen mother looked at the son like this, he was in a hurry for nearly two hundred years, and he passed so fast."
"Silly girl, stop being nostalgic. A hundred years for ordinary people is already the limit, you and I and many Yulin brothers are all extraordinary people, if you feel that time flies, how can ordinary people live. Your mother just doesn't want to live in the world for a long time, she just wants to live a normal life, so she doesn't take the way of longevity."
"How good it should have been for the sons and daughters to be like the queen mother, and I don't know where Brother Yan went."
"Where else can you go, they are all in this Chinese land, and we will meet again. Just like your mother and me, we will always see you again inadvertently."
Ouyang Gui looked at the lake for a while, and suddenly said, "Father, the fish in this lake are delicious?" ”。
"Haha, haha, you know that my son is smart. Sure enough, this lake is an improved fish from the North Sea, and it has been maintained here for 150 years, and it is the fattest fish in the world, and only this lake fish is the most precious in the world."
"I know that my father is the best for his sons, and in the whole world, only Hutu County and Tiancheng County are the richest, and the scenery is the most extreme."
"It's all to repay that love, I was here again by the grace of the King of the South and the help of the Hutu people, so that I have today. How can I forget this place, as long as I am here, this is my home, and the people here are my relatives. and the current Han family of the Wei family, all of whom will share this prosperous era of China with me."
After Ouyang Xuan finished speaking, he summoned a guard and asked him to take his own special fishing equipment, and he was taking two ordinary fishing equipment. The guard received the order and turned to leave, and ran back with three pairs of fishing gear.
Fishing is also a hobby of Ouyang Xuan, in the construction of the water diversion project for more than 100 years and the subsequent modification of the project, Ouyang Xuan developed a hobby of fishing, and also invented his own fishing tools. Similar to the sea fishing rod of later generations, a sensor device is added to the reel, which can automatically retract the rod, and the fish drift is also automatically adjusted. The hook is a special shape, and the horizontal bait hook is welded with three vertical bait hooks. In the deep water by the lake, Ouyang Xuan set up the fishing tackle, hung the bait, and began to fish quietly. Ouyang Gui was also full of curiosity about fishing, and he also picked up the fishing tackle decently and followed Ouyang Xuan to catch a fish.
Buick Guli and Fenghuang took Han Meng all over the world in search of fresh mushrooms, as if they had forgotten that there were two of their owners basking in the sun and fishing by the lake. The wind on the plateau in spring is refreshing, with a hint of the fragrance of flowers and plants. There are many fish in the lake, and more than ten have been caught in a while, all of which are cold-water fish of more than five catties. Ouyang Xuan ordered the guards to set up a simple cooking stove and oven, this kind of cold-water fish is most suitable for smoking and roasting, and when the stove was set up, Ouyang Xuan handed over the fishing rod to the guards and began to clean up the fish.
Han Meng was very curious to lie on Gu Li's back and watch Ouyang Xuan busy, in her eyes, the most powerful person in the country, how could he also stretch out his hand to eat and open his mouth, this kind of dirty work was naturally done by servants. But the scene in front of her made her a little unconvinced, Ouyang Xuan's quick movements seemed to have been done often before.
Ouyang Gui sat by the lake, his mind was full of thoughts, and he had already fallen asleep. It wasn't until the Phoenix Emperor hovering in the sky let out two warning chirps that he suddenly woke up and drew his knife in his hand. Vigilantly glanced around, and saw that there was nothing unusual, before getting up and smelling the fragrance and walking towards Ouyang Xuan. Ouyang Xuan had already known through the headset that there was a convoy of 100 people on the periphery rushing here, and the guard battalion was lurking in the dark, waiting for the arrival of this group of people, so Ouyang Xuan did not make any reaction. Continuing to grill the fish, the natural spices and the unique grilling method have already made Ouyang Gui and Han Meng's saliva water.
Ouyang Gui, as when he was a child, secretly hid the two grilled fish while Ouyang Xuan was not paying attention, took Han Meng to the lake, sat on the fishing chair, and ate them one by one. "Aunt Emperor, this grilled fish is very delicious, I don't know how to grill it, can you let the Holy Emperor's grandfather teach me?"
"Haha, that's a good name, I like it, and I'll call it that way from now on. When my body recovers, I will take you as an apprentice and teach you some skills." Ouyang Gui tore a piece of grilled fish and said while eating.
"Why is the emperor's aunt so good to the people's daughter? Isn't it the same for everyone in the world, and the emperor's aunt? ”。 Han Meng looked at Ouyang Gui with a curious expression, and only ate a little bit of the fish in his hand.
"Then I can't be exhausted to death, how many people are in this Huaxia, do you know how old?"
"The teacher has taught the people's daughters, China has a total population of 420 million, and the world is divided into eight districts, 36 prefectures, and 113 counties."
Ouyang Gui touched Han Meng's head and said, "Smart baby, when I was your age, I didn't know how big Huaxia was. I follow my father every day, and I often steal my father's barbecue with my mother like you and me."
"Hey, when I grow up, let my father take me all over China. I'm going to ride in that big boat, and it's fun at sea."
"Haha, you're just as happy as me. There is a strong backer and carefree".
"I am different from the emperor's aunt, my father is just a marquis, neither extraordinary ability, nor strong physique, just an ordinary marquis who can no longer be ordinary, if it is not for the kindness of the ancestors and the reward of the Holy Emperor, now he is just guarding the tomb of the king of the south." "Haha, you little girl, your mouth is diligent, eat yours quickly. Whatever happens for a while, remember to follow me." Ouyang Gui had already seen the group of horses from a distance, and the saber in his hand was shining in the sun.
Ouyang Xuan didn't let the guards move, Ouyang Xuan noticed that these people were obviously practicing their families, and they were all virtual horses, not the kind of real horses, and they could jump off the horses in time in case of emergencies. The guards around him and the guards in ambush in the distance had already turned on the safety of the assault rifles, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at their targets. The group soon came to Ouyang Xuan's hundred steps away, and jumped off their horses in unison. Seeing that the posture was all an expert in step-by-step, Ouyang Xuan was still the same, leisurely flipping the grilled fish, looking at those people with his eyes. These people walked lightly, and their walking posture was also very special, which made Ouyang Xuan feel familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen them for a while. It didn't matter, these people obviously didn't know the power of Ouyang Xuan and these Yulin troops under him. There is no posture to guard against thermal weapons at all, looking at their sabers, they are all made of Han bronze, and seeing that they rarely bend their arms, it means that there are hidden weapons in their sleeves. These people moved slowly towards Ouyang Xuan in an arc in groups of three. When there were still thirty steps away, Ouyang Xuan waved his hand and drew his sword from behind, and just as Ouyang Xuan was about to attack over the oven, Zhao Tuo, the commander of the guards, took the lead in shooting, killing a guy who raised his arm and tried to use a hidden weapon. Ouyang Xuan also noticed that these people not only had hidden weapons, but also had a cloth bag on their waists, and they didn't know what was in them. Quickly returned the sword into the sheath, took off the pistol and raised his hand to shoot a person's cloth bag, and suddenly white smoke rose everywhere, there was a faint fishy smell, it seemed to be a kind of poisonous smoke, as Ouyang Xuan shot, the other guards also fired at the same time, these more than 100 people didn't have time to react, almost all of them shot heads, only the two who seemed to be the leader, were broken limbs and cloth bags on their waists. The rest were all killed directly by headshots, Ouyang Xuan did not immediately let people go up to clean up the mess, but waited for the poisonous smoke to dissipate before ordering the corpses of those people to be carefully disposed of. As for those two living mouths, they were naturally given special care.
Soon the rest of the guard battalion rushed over and quickly cleared the entire battlefield as if nothing had happened just now. After taking a few complete cloth bags and sending them to the Duliba base for testing, Ouyang Xuan judged based on years of experience that it should be lime mixed with a kind of snake venom, which could be seen from the painful expressions of those two living mouths.
Everything came and went quickly, Han Meng was blocked by Ouyang Gui all the time, only hearing a thudding sound, and seeing nothing else. When the war here was over, Ouyang Gui pulled Han Meng to sit down by the lake, and then ate grilled fish. Whenever Han Meng wanted to look back, he was twisted back by Ouyang Gui. Ouyang Xuan ordered the fish that might be contaminated to be disposed of, washed the cooking utensils and oven again, replaced them with a new set, and started all over again.
Knowing that the sun was in the west, Ouyang Xuan finished it. And the battlefield just now was hardly visible except for being washed with water. Ouyang Xuan wrapped the grilled fish for Han Meng, and then asked the guards to escort Han Meng and Ouyang Gui back to the palace. He took the guards to a wooden house not far from the lake. The two living mouths confessed all under extreme torture. They were the assassins sent by the one-armed Liu De to assassinate Ouyang Xuan and Ouyang Gui, and they were divided into three groups, one group to find Ouyang Xuan and Ouyang Gui to assassinate, and the other group to assassinate Li Mu and Peng Fei in Xia Gu. There is also a group of people on standby. This operation was because the two Phoenix Emperors were discovered by Liu De's eyeliner and notified this group of people in time, and they were only the first batch of death squads, and a large number of people were on their way here.
After reading the confession, Ouyang Xuan immediately ordered the guards to contact Tang De to learn about Xia Gu's situation. The result also surprised Ouyang Xuan, Li Mu and Peng Fei were assassinated one after another, and Tang De was seriously injured. This made Ouyang Xuan really unacceptable, if he hadn't seen too much, I'm afraid he would have fallen into the way. Ouyang Xuan hurriedly ordered Huang Tingzhong to return to Xia Gu for the time being, replacing Tang De to maintain the government office, and Xian Yushun and Linghu Zhang took over Peng Fei and Li Mu to take charge of the military office. This is the first time that Ouyang Xuan has suffered such heavy losses in this era. When everything was done, Ouyang Xuan raised his sword and directly assassinated the two live mouths on the spot.
hurriedly returned to the palace with the guards, Han Meng had been sent home by the guards and strictly protected. Ouyang Xuan strictly arranged the guard battalion around the palace, and now it was too late to transfer the Yulin army, so he could only rely on the guard battalion of 3,000 people to protect the palace. It can be seen from the living ** generation that there is still a group of people rushing here. When Ouyang Xuan urgently mobilized the guard camp to defend, the guards passed the news: Sima Zhongzhao, the secret affairs department, had something important to come to see His Majesty.
Ouyang Xuan hurriedly saw Zhong Zhao who came in a hurry in the side hall of the palace, "Your Majesty has a letter from Premier Tang here, please take a look at it." Zhong Zhao hurriedly handed over a letter when he saw it. Ouyang Xuan took the letter, read it carefully twice, and smiled. "This big drama directed by Wen Shang, how can it be without me, haha, interesting."
Ouyang Xuan hurriedly ordered the guards to activate the spatial tunnel doors of the various palaces, and ordered the guards to arrange the palaces of Tiancheng County according to Zhong Zhao's requirements. Ouyang Xuan took Ouyang Gui from the space-time tunnel located in the back room of the palace to the palace by the stone desert lake in Australia, and at the same time ordered someone to go to Xia Gu to pick up Tang De and the others here. Ouyang Gui was very surprised when he saw that there was actually a space-time gate in the palace. "What am I surprised about? This space-time gate was originally developed by me and Mr. Gongsun, and I was naturally the first to benefit and the first to use it. It's just that there are too many people, and I don't want to use it, remember that there is a space-time door in the back room of the palace in every palace, and the key to open the door of the back room is in my hands and the pass guards." After Ouyang Xuan finished speaking, he asked someone to take a round waist made of a special material and handed it to Ouyang Gui. "Remember to simply place your belt on the handle and press firmly to open the door to the Backrooms. The space-time door is transferred to the back room of the Dawan Palace, and the same method is used when the back room door is opened on the inside." Ouyang Gui nodded a little excitedly and said, "Then wouldn't I be able to visit all ten palaces in one day?" ”。
"Haha, if you have the energy, you can. Xiagu, Dawan, Dongyang, Quanzhou, Guizhou, Hutu, Macheng, Tiancheng, Shidesert Palace are available for you to visit, only Kezhou needs my waist to wear."
"The ministers don't want to go there, they're all crazy people."
This Zhong Zhao also hurried to arrive with Tang De, Li Mu, and Peng Fei, and the four of them were bowing to Ouyang Xuan and Ouyang Gui, lined up on both sides. Ouyang Xuan looked at them, they all looked injured or assassinated, and they were all very healthy. "Your Majesty, everything is ready to stop, and the Qianshu has mobilized the Yulin Army in place, just waiting for the fish to take the bait."
"What fish? Isn't there something strange happening in the country? ”。 Ouyang Gui asked curiously.
Ouyang Xuan handed Tang De's letter to Ouyang Gui, "Just look at it."
Ouyang Gui hurriedly took the letter, read it again, looked at Tang De and the others, and then smiled, smiling very happily. turned around and walked out of the hall, took Buick and Guli, and called fifty guards to go to the Shimo Lake to enjoy the sunset over the Red Stone and Blue Lake. I didn't bring Fenghuang with me on this trip, it was too eye-catching, and it was easy to be recognized from a long distance, so I could only temporarily let them stay in the palace for two days.
Three days later, a blockbuster news came from Xia Valley, the Chinese Holy Emperor and the Empress died suddenly in the Tiancheng Palace, and the Huaxia Emperor was succeeded by Ouyang Huan, the seventh grandson of Prince Mao, Liu De served as the prime minister, and the Military Administration, the Privy Council, and the Council were all abolished, and Ouyang Huan directly led the government, and Liu De commanded the military affairs, and was crowned Taifu, King Xia. This news is tantamount to a thunderbolt from the blue, and it thundered the Chinese people quite lightly.
The Chinese armies refused to be requisitioned by the imperial court, and the troops beheaded the newly appointed governors and generals at all levels. In particular, the Western Army was the most intense, and even announced that due to the chaos in the party and government, the western states would be temporarily taken over by the army, and then the Northern Army, the Central Army, the Southern Army, the Navy, and the Headquarters Army all announced similar regulations. It is not under the jurisdiction of the trusted Huaxia Emperor, and only obeys the orders of the legitimate Huaxia Emperor and the Military Administration. The governors of each ministry set themselves up as governors, temporarily administering the areas under their jurisdiction until the Chinese government reverted to the previous system and elected a legitimate emperor, rather than a new emperor by force through disorderly government. Huang Tingzhong, Ling Huzhang, and Xian Yushun led the Yulin officials to escort more than 3,000 officials, Zhongshu, and Privy Councillors who had finally arrived at the imperial court rushed out of Xiagu City with the cooperation of the headquarters army, and confronted Liu De's 30,000 troops in Jiaotong City, and restored the Military Service Office and the Council and the Privy Council there, acting as the government of the court. Officials at all levels continue to perform their duties in accordance with their former official positions. Almost all the officials in Xia Gu City who were originally in Beijing gathered here, except for more than a hundred people who were not determined to surrender to Ouyang Huan, everyone else was in Jiaotong City, all of them were gearing up, ready to fight to the death.
What Ouyang Huan and Liu De can lead now is the 100,000 soldiers and horses they brought and some officials, and they can only control Xia Gu, or it can be said that it is an empty city. On the day Ouyang Huan ascended the throne, the people of Xia Gu City moved to Zuoxia County under the desperate cover of the Central Army and the Wolf Phoenix Army. The turmoil lasted for half a month, and because of Tang De's prior arrangement, the people were almost unharmed except for a small number of real estate losses. But it exposed the dark side hidden in the Chinese society, Confucian scholars who had been suppressed for four hundred years responded to Ouyang Phantom as emperor in various places, and some wealthy families who were restricted by high property taxes also contributed to respond, and there was one thing that Ouyang Xuan never expected.
