Chapter 2: Unexpectedly

Gambling games such as canopus and lance grip are very exciting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info is a new point of interest for the moonlight that has shot enough jays with gold pills. She likes this kind of game very much, and always invites Yuan Zhonghua to play with her.

Yuan Zhonghua has never been interested in this kind of chess. I think the play of Wumu is just throwing around for luck, what if you win? What if you lose? But since Moonlight likes it so much, she also plays with her for a while from time to time.

Yuan Zhonghua was also a good musician before, and he liked to play the flute. Now the flute has not been played for a long time, and Moonlight has seen half of the jade flute placed next to her pillow. I feel that Yuan Zhonghua cherishes it very much, but I don't know why she likes the things that have been destroyed so much.

Now Yuan Zhonghua's mind is all on Bodhi, and Bodhi also takes up most of her time. Moonlight has lived in the General's Mansion for a long time, and she also likes Bodhi and Asu very much, but she has never given birth to children, and she doesn't understand the truth of being a parent, so she still has a lot of fun.

"You're looking forward to me leaving?" The moonlight also leaned into the room, and suddenly felt extremely comfortable. On such a winter night when the north wind is howling, she feels that it is quite comfortable to sit with Yuan Zhonghua and talk at night.

She wasn't in a hurry at all, and she didn't think much about it at all. She even felt that living here was much more interesting than the cold place in Jinyang Bafu. Although her husband, King Gao, can be regarded as the sole favor of her, it always makes her feel a little unreal.

At first glance, when she talked about leaving, she was really reluctant to Yuan Zhonghua.

Yuan Zhonghua looked at her and listened to her, and said with a smile, "I don't want you to leave, if I keep you here, are you really willing to stay?" ā€

Moonlight smiled half-truthfully, "The eldest princess left me, so naturally I won't leave, I'm afraid that the eldest princess is not sincere." ā€

Yuan Zhonghua was just about to joke a few words, when he suddenly heard footsteps, and then saw Ah Jiao hurriedly walking in, her face was gloomy, as if there was something important, which immediately attracted Yuan Zhonghua's attention.

Seeing that Yuan Zhonghua's face changed, Moonlight also turned his head.

"The prince of Rouran is at the gate of the mansion and wants to see His Royal Highness and the princess." She said as she glanced at the moonlight.

"Rouran Shizi?" Yuan Zhonghua immediately sat up straight, thinking that she had misheard.

"My eldest brother is here?!" Moonlight was surprised and delighted, and had already gotten up to get out of bed.

"Where's the general?" Yuan Zhonghua asked Ah Jiao.

Gao Cheng has been back in Yecheng for a few days. But Yuan Zhonghua saw him only a handful of times. always felt that Gao Cheng had something in his heart, and as soon as he changed his normality, Yuan Zhonghua was also puzzled in his heart, not knowing why he was so indifferent. However, when the prince of Rouran suddenly visited, no matter what he said, the lord of the mansion should come forward.

"The general is not in the mansion today." Ah Jiao replied, and added, "The Lord Lang was here a few days ago. ā€

Yuan Zhonghua didn't speak. Whether he was there or not, they didn't see each other anyway. You don't have to ask to know, it must be in Dongbai Hall. I don't know how many times Gao Cheng went to Dongbaitang after returning to Yecheng, and I don't know what his reaction was after he learned that Yuan Yuyi gave birth to a child and died.

"The prince of Rouran wanted to meet the general, but I heard that the general was not in the mansion and knew that the princess was here, so I asked to see His Royal Highness and the princess." Ah Jiao explained again.

Moonlight hadn't seen his relatives for a long time, and he couldn't hold it back for a long time, so he smiled at Yuan Zhonghua and said, "You don't have to be the eldest princess Fei Zhouzhang, I'll go see the eldest brother myself." With that, he got up and walked outside.

Yuan Zhonghua instructed Ah Jiao, "Go and tell the prince of Rou Ran that it is inconvenient for me to see him." Although the princess and her brother were allowed to reminisce, they ordered the slaves and maidservants to serve well. ā€

Ah Jiao thought about it, but still hesitated and asked, "Do you want to go to Dongbai Hall to ask the general to come back?" ā€

"Not necessarily." Yuan Zhonghua did not hesitate at all. "The general will naturally know, don't have much to do."

In the Dongbai Hall, the general surprisingly did not have a wide and gorgeous Minghe Hall, but only discussed with a few henchmen in the greenhouse.

Small has small benefits. In the biting cold, north wind raging winter, the small bucket room is as warm as spring, and because it is small, it makes people feel safe.

In addition to Gao Cheng, there are also Chen Yuankang, Cui Jishu, and Cui Xian.

After Gao Cheng returned to Yecheng, Cui Jishu and Cui Xian were not the first time to see Gao Cheng. But it was the first time that Gao Cheng summoned them to Dongbaitang. I can't tell where it is, Cui Jishu and Cui Xian both feel that the general is different from the past. But I can't tell you what the difference is.

Only Chen Yuankang doesn't think so.

"General, Siam heard that King Gao was injured in Yubi and contracted again, I don't know what the situation is?" Cui Xian was the first to ask first.

Cui Xian's tone was very concerned, and at the same time stared at Gao Cheng at his expression.

The lights are shining, the charcoal is majestic, and the greenhouse is bright and warm. Gao Cheng, who was sitting on the banquet bed, was almost illuminated by the bright light, and there was nothing to hide on his face. There was something terrifyingly calm in his green eyes like a falcon.

"Cui Xian, how do you speak? Lord Lang is here, what other rumors do you say? Use rumors to question Lord Lang, what do you mean by this? is so rude, do you want my uncle to punish you in front of Lord Lang? Cui Jishu rushed ahead of Gao Cheng and reprimanded his nephew first.

Cui Jishu was dissatisfied with how Cui Xian spoke so bluntly, and used all kinds of words like "heard and heard". In his heart, the general will naturally not hide any decisions from a few of his confidants, and he will say anything he has to do. In this way, just wait for the order, why speculate for no reason?

Chen Yuankang glanced at Cui's uncle and nephew, and he didn't say anything.

Gao Cheng reached out and rubbed his temples, as if he had a headache. It was hot in the greenhouse, and he was dressed casually, wearing only a cyan robe, and when he raised his arms, his wide sleeves slid down, revealing his muscular forearms. He didn't wear a crown, he only used a hosta to tie his hair, which looked neat and tidy.

Such a dark robe made him mature and deep. Cui Jishu suddenly felt that he didn't know Gao Cheng a little. Under the strong light, he even saw the dust of the years deposited in the corner of his eye. This took him by surprise. I don't know how to wander, I remembered the prince of Bohai who was too young when he first arrived in Yecheng as an assistant.

"Ji Lun heard it right." Gao Cheng sat up straight and looked directly at Cui Jishu. "If you don't pay attention to the rumors, you will naturally break down. The more you interpret the rumors, the more miraculous they become. ā€

Gao Cheng said "yes" for a while, and then said "rumors" for a while. Cui's uncle and nephew are all smart people, and they immediately understood what the general meant, but they still couldn't believe it. Will King Gao really be safe? Cui Jishu and Cui Xian both stared at Gao Cheng with wide eyes. Gao Cheng's intention was obviously to block the news.

"King Gao fought against Yubi, and it is normal to be a little injured. Occasional infections are not a big deal. It's just that the general has been back in Yecheng for so long, even if he is tired from the war, he should rest, right? Cui Jishu was the first to reflect and answered first.

Cui Jishu is worthy of being Gao Cheng's close friend and confidant, and he understood Gao Cheng's mind to the extreme, and immediately pretended to be presentable first. Moreover, it reminds Gao Cheng of the anomalies of these days, which should not be. If you want to play and play a full set, of course, you can't fail to pay attention to details.

"Brother Shuzheng is right," Gao Cheng smiled faintly, "It just so happens that the Lord is going to have a big feast in the palace on the day of La, and the palace banquet is at the time of the big victory over Xikou, the beginning and end of the year, and it should be happy." I heard that the queen is also pregnant, which is a great thing. Gao Cheng smiled a little tiredly.

Chen Yuankang and Cui's uncle and nephew could see that he was trying hard to demand himself. The three of them have their own tastes in their hearts. King Gao's illness came too suddenly, and no one expected that the big event would come so quickly. How many people need to be appeased, how many things to grasp, and how many things to pay attention to, I think about it for a while, and I have a clue everywhere, and it all depends on Gao Cheng's ability to hold on and be stable.

Cui Jishu looked at Gao Cheng and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

"Jinyang don't worry," Gao Cheng said lightly, of course, he had to talk about what he needed to worry about first. "Pay attention in the palace," he glanced at Cui Jishu, who was a waiter of the Yellow Gate. "The kings of Jibei, Huashan, and Gaoyang." Gao Cheng only mentioned a few people, and didn't go any further.

Cui Jishu felt comforted in his heart, it can be seen that although the general usually does not kill on a large scale, he knows in his heart who are those in the shadows behind him.

"General, the queen is the key person, and the general should personally enter the palace to appease the queen." Choi said it was important.

"That's right. Naturally, I will enter the palace. Gao Cheng bowed his head in approval, and finally ordered, "Pay attention to the Taiyuan Mansion," and then changed the conversation, "lest Hou Niyu be confused at this time and make me embarrassed." Gao Cheng's words were not deep.

This younger brother is scheming, sometimes he feels very flattering, and sometimes he feels that he can't see through him. But no matter what, after all, he is his own brother, and he probably won't do anything stupid at a critical moment. Every time something important was done before, Gao Yang really understood it.

But for some reason, Gao Cheng just had a feeling that he couldn't tell Gao Yang thoroughly. But now was not the time for him to dwell on it. He believed that as long as the power of the Jinyang Overlord Mansion was smoothly transferred to him, the emperor Yuan Shanjian was appeased, and the kings of the clan were deterred, there would be no major incident.

As for the ministers, he has done a lot of innovation and elimination of disadvantages over the years, but then he gradually softened, and even if it is to make up for it, it is always effective. The advantage is that the continuation of the battle between the two Wei is also a good opportunity for him to establish his prestige. Now, coupled with the fact that he has been in charge of the government, the country has become rich and the people have been safe, and he has revised the laws and regulations to set the rules, which can be regarded as stable.

Now as long as you hide the news, don't let Nanliang, Rouran, and Yuwentai take this opportunity to raise troops, and they can't afford to suffer from it, and the civil strife is not prosperous, and after an extraordinary period, it will naturally be fine. If civil strife and border troubles come together, then there will be big trouble.

"General, there's one more person to keep an eye on." Chen Yuankang waited for Er Cui to have nothing to say before reminding, "Hou Jing is in Yuzhou, so you must be on guard." ā€

Chen Yuankang's words immediately made the atmosphere in the greenhouse solemn.

This most important factor of instability is ignored by everyone.

A Gao Zhongmi caused such a big trouble, if Hou Jing also made a mess, how much trouble would it be? What Hou Jing did, everyone knows very well in their hearts.

The three of them looked at Gao Cheng together.

Gao Cheng nodded slightly, "The great victory of Bishan is indispensable to the public contribution of Puyang County." The Son of Heaven issued an edict and ordered the county prince to enter the court to reward him. The Son of Heaven felt the merit of the county prince, and was eager to see each other, so he asked the county prince to enter the capital without relentlessness, and at the palace banquet in the Lari Palace, the Son of Heaven personally gave wine and food to comfort him. ā€

After he finished speaking, his gaze swept coldly over the other three people.

This is to fake the edict of the Son of Heaven to transfer Hou Jing into the capital, in case he hears any news in Yuzhou that will change.

Cui Jishu was covered in cold sweat. I didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

Cui Xian didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking.

Only Chen Yuankang met Gao Cheng's gaze, still calm.

Rouran's son Bald Tujia didn't come to the General's Mansion for no reason.

Bald Tujia took advantage of Yuwentai's expedition, and later the Western Wei Dynasty was defeated, the country was chaotic, and even the emperor Yuanbao Torch went to the expedition in person, so he had the opportunity to escape from the Wei Palace and go out of Chang'an.

Later, he learned that the emperor Yuan Bao Ju was injured in Tongguan and later died, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Thinking about the harmony between Western Wei and Rouran, it seems that it will not be long before it. With a flowery opening and such a bleak ending, this and the pro are a complete failure.

His sister Luoying died, and the ingot torch also died, as if nothing had happened. Even he and Yu Wentai went from being close brothers to vowing to enemies, and the friendly relations between the states were shattered.

Bald Tujia escaped from Chang'an with Luoying's maid Taorui, and when they arrived at Tongguan, the battle between the two Wei had ended. Yuwentai and the new emperor Yuanqin returned to Chang'an with the coffin of the first emperor's ingots torch, but Bald Tujia avoided it. originally wanted to go to Gao Cheng, but he heard that Gao Cheng did not return to the east, but went to Yubi, which made him feel strange, and then sneaked to Yubi.

When Bald Tujia arrived at Yubi, he heard that the Eastern Wei army led by Gao Huan, the prime minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the king of Bohai, had been attacking Yubi for a long time, and they did their best, but they were exhausted and stuck for a long time, and finally had to withdraw their troops back to Jinyang.

What caught Bald Jia's attention was that it was rumored that King Gao was injured and sick, and his life was in danger. The general Gao Cheng went from Tongguan to Yubi in order to escort the unpredictable King Gao back to Jinyang.

Bald Tujia was shocked to hear the news. He followed all the way to Jinyang, and basically figured out the origin and details of the matter. Especially knowing that Gao Cheng did not stay in Jinyang for a long time, and returned to Yecheng in a few days, which made Bald Tujia even more suspicious.

I am afraid that it is precisely because Gao Huan is seriously ill that Gao Cheng is in a hurry to return to Yecheng to stabilize the situation. If Gao Huan was just an ordinary injury, he might have stayed in Jinyang for a few more days.

As soon as Gao Cheng returned to Yecheng, Bald Tujia also chased after him.

The harmony between Rouran and Western Wei has already been shattered. If Gao Huan really died, even his sister Yueguang would become a useless princess, and she wouldn't even have a son, wouldn't this be a real death? Rou Ran herself is also surrounded by strong enemies, what Tuguhun, what Turkic, which is not eyeing the tiger? His father, Khan Anaga, was also sick, and he couldn't help but be careful.

He must find a way to take advantage of this critical moment of the political situation in the Eastern Wei Dynasty to firmly grasp the power of the core and seek benefits for Rouran.

Bald Tujia even regretted it at this time. Knowing this, he should have insisted on not letting go at that time, and he must have let Gao Cheng marry Yueguang and have an heir. But it's too late to regret it now.

Bald Tujia was brought into the mansion by the servants, and he didn't go far to enter, and entered a small secluded courtyard, a little narrow, but it was exactly what Bald Tujia wanted.

He asked to see him at night, and when he heard that the general was not in the mansion, he also knew that Gao Cheng had gone to Dongbaitang. But he already knew that his sister, Princess Gao, was here, and this was a rare opportunity to meet him.

"Big brother!" A voice with surprise came.

Bald Tujia, who was sitting, and Tao Rui, who was standing, both raised their heads. (To be continued.) )
