"Don't worry, general." Suddenly, there was a loud shout from afar.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Cheng and the others saw a team of people in civilian clothes, and dozens of horses galloped towards them.

These people look stranger and can't tell who they are at all. But the person who led the ride could know Gao Cheng's official position, and he was obviously familiar with him. The man was young and valiant, and his face was full of anger. When he got closer, he instructed the people behind him, "Adultererous deeds, revenge for the governor of the capital, and the removal of adultery is today." ”

And they heard the command, and all men fought bravely against the men in black.

This sudden change made things suddenly turn around, and Gao Cheng and the others were completely surprised.

Those men in black were originally fierce, and they thought they were bound to win. Seeing that he was about to take the lives of Gao Cheng and others, who knew that there would be a sudden change. The spirit was frustrated, and it had been fighting for a long time, and it was no longer able to resist the descendants, the killed were killed, and the seriously injured were seriously injured, but almost no one escaped.

The dead died, and the seriously injured committed suicide, almost all of whom died on the spot.

At this time, the heroic man dismounted and bowed to Gao Cheng, "The general is frightened. ”

Gao Cheng remained silent, only looked at the person in front of him, did not step forward, and asked, "Who is you?" ”

The man raised his head, "Liu Taozhi, a soldier under the account of the Governor of Dadu, was ordered to kneel and knock on the general, please avenge the Governor of Dadu." ”

Suddenly hearing the words "Metropolitan Governor", Gao Cheng was suddenly startled and a little incredulous.

Chen Yuankang's eyes were also blood-red, and he asked suspiciously, "Which Metropolitan Governor are you talking about?" ”

The man didn't answer Chen Yuankang's question, he still looked at Gao Cheng, and said earnestly, "The Metropolitan Governor Gao Aocao pursued Xikou in order to rescue the general, and was killed by the traitors outside Heyin City, has the general forgotten everything?" The Governor did not die at the hands of Sikor. ”

Gao Cheng's heart fluctuated like ups and downs, and he explained all the things about the river bridge that day. Only then did I believe the identity of the person in front of me, but this was not the place to listen to him in detail.

Instructed Lan Jing to escort Princess Liyang back.

The carriage was damaged, so he had to ride a horse. Xiao Qiongju saw that he was fine, although he was in love with him, he could only pretend to be okay and leave.

There are many conspicuous people, and the pavilion is inconvenient. found a secluded place, Liu Taozhi sent all his people away, and only then did he carefully report to Gao Cheng, Chen Yuankang and others about the death of Gao Aocao outside Heyin City that day.

Gao Cheng was hit by Zhao Gui's arrow that day, Xikou swarmed up, and Yuwentai and others wanted to take Gao Cheng's life. At this time, it was the Metropolitan Governor Gao Ao Cao who led his army to repel Xikou.

Gao Cheng originally ordered Poor Kou Mo to chase after him, and after repulsion, he quickly returned to Heyin City to discuss the battle situation. Chen Yuankang hastily ordered Hou He, who arrived later, to pass on the general's order to Gao Aocao, the governor of the capital.

Liu Taozhi was surprised at this time. Because Gao Aocao didn't know that the general had this order at that time, and he didn't see Hou and his people.

Gao Aocao is eager to win and relentlessly pursues. Li Mu of the Western Wei army was reinforced, and he joined forces with Yuwentai and defeated Gao Aocao.

Defeated back to Heyin City, knocking on the door under the city, Hou Jing actually ordered not to open the city. This was later investigated by Liu Taozhi. At that time, Gao Aocao had to hide in a deserted village in order to avoid Xikou. Later, Hou He, who returned late, entered Heyin City and escaped Xikou.

Gao Aocao was already exhausted at that time and was no longer able to resist. At this time, the governor of the Western Wei Dynasty, Li Hu, came again, and Gao Aocao could only die outside Heyin City.

Speaking of sadness, Liu Taozhi was already crying bitterly and knelt down and said, "The governor of the capital hated him on his deathbed, and he was framed by others, so he only wanted to complain to King Gao." If the general can avenge the governor, I would like to be the general's cangtou slave in this life to repay the general. ”

Liu Taozhi is the last soldier to bring up the horse sculpture for Gao Aocao.

Of course, he didn't have a chance to meet King Gao, so he had to slowly look for opportunities. Later, he learned that the general Gao Cheng was sent to Liang as an envoy to Liang, so he looked for opportunities to follow him all the way. Because Gao Cheng was also in Heyin City that day, Liu Taozhi was not sure who was not allowed to open the city, which caused Gao Aocao to die.

He also collected some Wei pawns who were not dead at that time, and dozens of people followed them from Yecheng to Jiankang. On the way, I gradually visited and understood all kinds of things between the general, Situ Hou Jing, and the metropolitan governor Gao Aocao. Slowly figured out that it was Hou Jing who did not let Gao Aocao enter Heyin City that day.

That's why today I tried my best to stop Hou Jing from killing Gao Cheng, and I only hoped that Gao Cheng could avenge Gao Aocao.

The suspicion of Heyin has only been solved today.

Chen Yuankang has always been valued by Gao Aocao. At that time, it was he who ordered Hou He to deliver the message. Today, the truth of the matter was revealed, and Chen Yuankang was full of resentment in his heart. But in front of the son, he can't be too angry, and he has to find a way to help the prince stop his anger. Hou Jing is not a person who can be killed if the prince says to kill.

Gao Cheng suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart, and all the doubts in his heart were solved. Gao Aocao rushed from the tiger prison to Heyin in order to save him, not wanting to lose his life. If there was no Gao Aocao that day, and there were people like Hou Jing by his side, who knew if Hou Jing would have joined forces with Xi Kouli and ended up with him?

Gao Cheng unconsciously stroked the arrow wound on his shoulder. In the past few days, the arrow wound has attacked, and the pain is even more severe, as when the wound was healed and the numbness did not boil away.

He finally endured it and helped Liu Taozhi up. "In this case, you will go back to Yecheng with me, and you will be by my side. I will not let him die in vain. ”

As night fell, the Black Dragon Lake Palace fell into darkness. Different from the Jiankang Palace, the Heilonghu Palace where the prince Xiao Gang lives is always brightly lit at night. It's just that because the lake area is intertwined, the mountains and rocks are patchy, and the forest is deep and wide, the lights are somewhat insignificant.

Looking at Jilong Mountain from the Black Dragon Lake Palace, the Medicine Buddha Pagoda on the top of the mountain, the sound of chanting scriptures can be faintly heard, and the smell of incense and candles seems to be at the end of the nose. The scenery of the palace is like nature, coupled with the Zen flavor of Tongtai Temple in front of you, which is also one of the reasons why Prince Xiao Gang is always willing to stay in the Black Dragon Lake Palace.

The accident this evening was that the emperor Xiao Yan, who almost never came to the Black Dragon Lake Palace, summoned Gao Cheng, the general of the Wei envoy, from Tongtai Temple, and then drove to the Black Dragon Lake Palace.

Duguan Shangshu Yang Kan hurriedly entered the study of Prince Xiao Gang in the ancient pine forest under the mountain rock.

Unexpectedly, the light in the study was as bright as day, and I saw the Son of Heaven in Buddha clothes sitting on the side of the prince dressed as a scholar.

The door of the study was closed, Yang Kan's heartbeat did not stop, and it quieted down suddenly, there were only him, the emperor and the prince in the room, and he even heard his own heartbeat.

"Good deeds done by the general." Xiao Yan was originally meditating silently, but when he opened his eyes and looked at Yang Kan kneeling in front of him, his voice was cold and low, but there was no anger at all.

Prince Xiao Gang looked at his father, and then at Yang Kan kneeling on the ground, did not speak, and sighed slightly.

"The Lord forgives the sin, and when the minister kills Gao Cheng, he will apologize with death." The sheep fell to the ground and pleaded guilty. He really didn't have anything to say.

Because Princess Liyang suddenly came with her grandson Xiao Daqi, the princess did not leave Gao Cheng. There is also Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, on the side. The grandson, the prince of the county, and the princess have too much to do with each other, and it is a capital crime for him to injure any of them by mistake. It's not that he's afraid of death, but he thinks that even if he kills Gao Cheng, if he loses his grandson and princess, it will be worth the loss, so he hesitated.

The emperor knows the distress of his children and grandchildren. What's more, the grandson is the great weapon of the country, and the princess is the emperor's favorite granddaughter.

Of course, Yang Kan can't attribute the reason for the failure to the princess, he can only count it on himself.

Xiao Yan didn't think it was Princess Liyang's problem at all, but only thought that it was Yang Kan's disadvantage. As a result, the matter was not done, and he showed his feet again, and he thought it was troublesome.

Prince Xiao Gang can see that his daughter has a reason, but he loves his daughter very much, of course, he can't and can't take the initiative to think that his daughter should be blamed at this time.

"It's not harmonious, it's better to let him go back to Yecheng." Xiao Gang felt that this Gao Cheng was really a trouble, so it was better to let him leave Jiankang as soon as possible. If you can't see it, don't think it's messy.

Xiao Yan didn't speak. He felt in his heart that if he had never had the intention of killing Gao Cheng, it would be okay. The most fearful thing is that it is not done and people will notice it. He was a little hesitant.

Yang Kan looked up at the emperor, "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, you must not let Gao Cheng return to Yecheng like this." ”

Yang Kan already knew that there was a man in black chasing Gao Cheng later, and it seemed that he was not the only one who wanted to kill Gao Cheng, so it was better to take advantage of the situation and try again. Of course, he also thought that Princess Liyang came so coincidentally, and she was inseparable from Gao Cheng, she must have known the news. It was easy to think that his son Yang Yu was whipped by him and confined in the house, and it could only be that his daughter Yang Shunhua leaked the news to Princess Liyang. He also tortured his daughter in the same way, and confined her to the house.

Yang Kan was determined to kill Gao Cheng. He whipped his daughter with a whip, but he actually showed it to Princess Liyang indirectly, and at the same time, he also avoided leaking the news again.

Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang looked at Yang Kan with blazing eyes, but did not speak, as if he was waiting for Yang Kan to say something. He suddenly glanced at the crown prince Xiao Gang again.

"Your Majesty, if the past is not harmonious, you might as well try again." Yang Kan took two steps forward on his knees.

Xiao Yan closed his eyes and said, "I am a slave of the Three Treasures after all, and I don't want to hear this." ”

Although he said that he "didn't want to listen", he obviously acquiesced.

Prince Xiao Gang really had a splitting headache, and he suddenly felt a little dissatisfied with his father.

Yang Kan understood everything in his heart.

At the gate of Duting Station, Cui Jishu personally came up to help the general Gao Cheng get down from the ox cart. Chen Yuankang followed behind, and Liu Taozhi followed last.

"Hurry up and report to the king of Linhe County, the general's arrow wound has recurred, go and ask the imperial doctor to come." Cui Jishu commanded loudly while helping Gao Cheng to walk inside.

As soon as I entered the gate of the pavilion, I didn't go far when I saw Hou Jing and Xiao Zhengde hurrying one after the other.

Hou Jing in front saw that Gao Cheng was unscathed, and immediately fixed on the spot, staring at Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng also stopped and looked at him.

Cui Jishu clearly saw the changes in Hou Jing's expression in a moment this time. From excitement to surprise to disappointment and then calmly calm down.

Chen Yuankang looked no different from usual behind Gao Cheng, he just secretly held the hilt of the sword at his waist tightly without being noticed.

Liu Taozhi, who was behind Chen Yuankang, suddenly stepped forward the moment he saw Hou Jing. Just when Chen Yuankang stretched out his hand to hold him, Liu Taozhi himself also controlled himself, stepped back slightly, and lowered his head.

Hou Jing saw Gao Cheng looking at him inquiringly, stopped silent, he suddenly "pounced" and knelt down, and shouted, "Shizi!" Then he fell on his stomach and wept.

Xiao Zhengde, who caught up behind Hou Jing, stopped, and hid in the shadows under the tree a little embarrassed, and did not go any further.

Gao Cheng pushed aside Cui Jishu, who was helping him, walked in front of Hou Jing, helped Hou Jing up from the ground, and shouted, "Hou Gong! "It's just that the shot is a little heavier and the action is a little sharper, a bit like Hou Jing was picked up, not like he was helped up.

"The lower officer thought that he would never see the general again." Hou Jing and Gao Cheng put their arms around each other and looked at Gao Cheng with tears in their eyes.

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't know that Hou Gong missed me so much." Gao Cheng's arms holding Hou Jing were also red and swollen.

"People don't hurt the tiger, but the tiger harms people's hearts. General, I don't know who is so vicious, it's better to return to Yecheng as soon as possible. Hou Jing persuaded.

"Hou Gong, you and I are envoys to the country, how can we be so sloppy?" Gao Cheng sighed.

"If the general is lost, how can Wanjing explain to King Gao?" Hou Jing finally couldn't help but hug Gao Cheng's shoulder and cry bitterly.

"Hou Gong treated me like this, how can I reciprocate?" Gao Cheng couldn't help crying.

The two men hugged their heads and wept.

Cui Jishu came up and persuaded the two of them to stop crying.

"His Royal Highness!" Cui Jishu shouted into the shadows.

Xiao Zhengde had to come out of the shadows.

"The general's arrow wound has recurred, and I have to ask His Royal Highness the King of the County to order the imperial doctor to take a look." Cui Jishu said loudly, "Today's sudden encounter with this major event, the general is frightened, and he must also suppress the shock. ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" Xiao Zhengde responded in a stack, unable to say anything else.

Chen Yuankang stepped forward and said angrily, "Wei envoy Lin Jiankang came for the peace between the two countries, and the general is like my lord." In fact, there are people in the Great Liang Kingdom who want to assassinate the general, and the king of Linhe County is the envoy of Wei, how can he do nothing? If there is anything else in the pavilion, don't blame me Chen Changyou for killing people ruthlessly! ”

Xiao Zhengde had never seen someone talk to him so politely, and immediately stared at Chen Yuankang and wanted to have a seizure. But suddenly found that Chen Yuankang's eyes were blood-red, and he was already about to draw his sword out of the sheath, so he had to endure it again.

Gao Cheng was already sweating in pain, and said a little weakly, "General Changyou's temper can't even control my father, Your Highness forgive me." ”

This sounds like an explanation to Xiao Zhengde, but Gao Cheng's expression is obviously perfunctory to Xiao Zhengde, biased towards Chen Yuankang.

Xiao Zhengde could only respond again, and asked him to hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to come.

Until Gao Cheng and the others walked away, Hou Jing was still staring at them.

It wasn't until he entered the pavilion where Gao Cheng lived that Gao Cheng pushed Cui Jishu away and sat down with the pain in his shoulder.

"Shizi, since things are in order, it's better to go back to Yecheng as soon as possible." Chen Yuankang saw that Gao Cheng was sweating in pain and persuaded him.

"Lord Lang, General Changyou is right, it's time to go back." Cui Jishu is the same thing.

Liu Taozhi didn't dare to say much on the side.

"Wouldn't it be anticlimactic to leave at this time?" Gao Cheng endured the pain. "Emperor Liang is suspicious and indecisive, the more he urges, the more he refuses to listen, and waits a little longer, so that he willingly orders the king of Xiangdong to go to Yecheng to be considered complete." Gao Cheng already understood Xiao Yan's temper clearly.

At this time, I heard the slave and maid reply outside, "Lord Lang, His Royal Highness the King of Linhe County is here with the imperial doctor's order. ”
