Xiao Qiongju smiled at this time. "I asked the county lord to come here to discuss with the county lord how to kill Er, of course, the two generals must be on his side."

Suddenly hearing Princess Liyang say such words, Hou Jing did not look panicked at all, even if he was alone now.

"His Royal Highness and Gao Cheng are really in the same love. Gao Cheng killed my son, His Royal Highness wants to kill me, is it a long time ago? "Hou Jing is still in the mood to laugh." Altay is at the end of his life, why does the princess have to kill me? ”

The sheep and sheep Shunhua behind Hou Jing had already pressed forward step by step from behind.

Xiao Qiongju said disdainfully, "What do traitors think of my Daliang?" Do you think Liang Rongdel is such a thief? If you are a traitor in Liang, won't you dirty the temple of Liang? ”

That's hard enough. Princess Liyang expected that Hou Jing would die here today, so she had no scruples.

Hou Jing smiled and said, "What the princess said is not true. Altay rebelled against the Gao clan and did not rebel against the Great Wei. Is the princess to be deceived by Gao Cheng's words and replace her grievances? Gao Cheng has always been untruthful, and the princess actually believed him. He's just using the princess to embarrass me. ”

Xiao Qiongju had already made an appointment with Gao Cheng to work together to capture and kill Hou Jing outside Changshe City, she naturally would not be deceived by Hou Jing's words at this time, and sneered, "I am the Great Liang Clan, so naturally I can't tolerate traitors into Liang, what do I have to do with Gao Cheng?" The matter between him and you has nothing to do with me, but I don't know what you have done that you can't tolerate him, so that he is willing to work with me to get rid of the trouble? ”

This is equivalent to inadvertently confirming that what Hou Jing said is true.

Hou Jing laughed and said, "If the princess wants to kill me, as soon as possible, you don't have to wait for Gao Cheng, does the princess really think that he will drive troops here?" If my Kan guards are impatient to wait outside, they will inevitably break in. It may not be who will die when the time comes, and the princess should not regret it. ”

Xiao Qiongju glanced at the sheep and sheep Shunhua behind Hou Jing.

The sheep bird had already drawn his sword before his sister, and stabbed at Hou Jing's vest like lightning.

Then, at the same time, I heard shouts outside the courtyard. Sure enough, Hou Jing's dozens of Liang guards were waiting impatiently.

Although Hou Jing was lame, he didn't expect him to be extremely dexterous when he dodged. He may not be able to defeat Yang Yu and Yang Shunhua, but he has dodged several killing moves. Lian Jianwei's general Lan Jingjing stepped forward with a sword.

Princess Liyang looked uncertainly.

What I didn't expect was that Hou Jing's Qianren guards were all like fierce beasts. It was as if he had been instructed at the same time and did not wait quietly. Seeing that the courtyard door had been closed for a long time, he immediately broke into the courtyard like a madman. Which of these people is not one for ten, and one for a hundred? In an instant, the courtyard door was slammed open, and the guards who were like birds and beasts of prey immediately rushed in.

Hou Jingzhi's crisis was solved. However, the people of Yang Yan, Yang Shunhua, and Lanjing were besieged and entangled.

Hou Jing stepped forward, clamped Princess Liyang's wrist firmly, and said with a cruel smile, "The princess is indeed Gao Cheng's trick, where will he care about the princess's life or death?" If it's really an honest appointment, why not send someone to help the princess? Does the princess believe him by just one word? ”

Xiao Qiongju's heart was very cold when she said this. But she still struggled angrily, and said angrily, "Er is a dog-like person, and he is rude." ”

Hou Jing said angrily, "Everyone in the Liang State Sect is extremely hypocritical, where is the courtesy? ”

Seeing Hou Jing's true face, Yang Yu regretted it to the extreme. If he had ended up with Hou Jing a long time ago, it would have been just his own life, how could he be in such a mess now?

He didn't care about his own trapping, he threw the sword in his hand at Hou Jing with all his might, and shouted angrily, "Piff, I will kill you!" ”

It's a pity that the sword was knocked down by a Kan guard, and when the sword slashed at the sheep and the bird.

Hou Jing shouted, "Stop!" ”

The sheep bird had also dodged the knife, and when he looked at Hou Jingshi, his originally handsome face was almost distorted. At this time, it can be seen that the temper of the Yang father and son is the same.

As soon as Yang Shunhua got out, he immediately turned around and pointed a sword at Hou Jingdao, "Hou Jing, let the princess go quickly, otherwise I will die with you at the cost of my life." ”

Hou Jing's Qianren guards didn't need to be ordered by the master to block it with a knife, Yang Shunhua raised his sword and fell, the silver light flashed, the guard's head fell to the ground, and blood was splashed on the spot. Pity this unjust ghost, he obeyed the master's instructions and didn't want to embarrass the little lady, but the little lady couldn't tolerate him.

Hou Jing saw that Yang Shunhua actually cut off his guards with a sword, without saving him any face, and he almost immediately burst into anger. But he desperately suppressed it, but the hand he was still holding Xiao Shi's wrist was subconsciously exerting force.

Xiao Qiongju bit her lip and held back, her lips had been bitten by herself, blood oozed out, and her mouth smelled bloody.

Jianwei General Lan Jing was not a person who went overboard, and secretly held a sword in his hand and signaled to his subordinates. If Hou Jingzhen is not good for the princess, he will naturally not stand idly by.

Hou Jing finally let go of the Xiao family, turned around and looked at her and said, "The princess really doesn't believe it, I came to cast Liang because I was thinking of the Holy Monarch." The princess of Wei also knows that I am not rebelling against Wei, but actually against the Gao family. The princess misunderstood me, and there were many things in between, and it was difficult to explain them for a while. The princess only stayed in Pingyang City for a few more days and knew that Gao Cheng would definitely not leave Changshe City and come south. He was really using the princess, and he would find out in a few days. ”

Hou Jing's guards looked at Lord Lang. Seeing that Hou Jing waved his hand and retreated, and did not want to avenge his companions, they all bowed their heads and obeyed their orders and really withdrew.

The people in the courtyard were silent.

Admittedly, things are changing more and more unexpectedly, and everyone has their own expectations. But the most unexpected thing was Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County.

Hou Jing left the Hanging Fortress City to the south, and Xiao Zhengde stayed in the city. Consciously already the lord of Yuzhou. Thinking that he would return to Jiankang in the near future, he not only brought back important ministers of Wei like Hou Jing, but also collected a large area of Yuzhou, and he simply became a great hero of the prosperity of the Great Liang.

I don't know what will happen to my niece Princess Liyang when she meets Hou Jing, but there is one thing Xiao Zhengde began to think about seriously.

If he is the matchmaker and promotes the marriage of Hou Jing and Princess Liyang, there are many benefits. For the emperor, it can be of great use to really include Hou Jing in his henchmen with this move. In the future, if you wave your army to the north, you can rely on Hou Jing to complete the great cause of destroying Wei.

The prince took Hou Jing as his son-in-law, and he really became a family, which was conducive to the consolidation of the prince's power in the future. And after ascending the throne and succeeding to the throne, he is now a minister of the auxiliary state.

As for himself, that's even less to say. All of this was facilitated by him, and he and Hou Jing are still brothers with different surnames, shouldn't Hou Jing weigh the kindness of this?

With just one Hou Jing, he can please the emperor and the crown prince and strengthen his position. Xiao Zhengde also felt that Hou Jing should really be his confidant. In the past, Hou Jing also gave him a lot of good ideas. Later, with Hou Jing's assistance, his status in Liang was naturally different from before.

But what Xiao Zhengde didn't expect was that not long after Hou Jing left, the army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty actually arrived.

The Eastern Wei army did not come to watch the wind. Daxingtai Murong Shaozong led the army to sweep over. Taking advantage of the emptiness of Runan and the absence of people in the Hanging Gourd City, Murong Shaozong recovered the entire territory of Yuzhou with lightning speed, almost without a single soldier.

He, the new Yuzhou assassin, deserves his name at this time.

After winning Yuzhou, Murong Shaozongtun garrisoned heavy troops and defended it tightly at the junction of Wei and Liang, that is, the junction of Yuzhou and Sizhou. But looking at the lingering appearance of the army, it makes people feel that they will lead the army south at any time. That overwhelming formation will inevitably make people nervous.

For a while, the atmosphere between Liang and Wei was extremely tense, and a big war was about to break out.

Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, was almost defenseless in the Hanging Gourd City. And until he was escorted to the city of Changshe, Xiao Zhengde didn't understand what was going on.

Murong Shaozong treated Xiao Zhengde seriously and was not polite. He knew that this was the prince of the Southern Dynasty, a very important figure. He also knew that the relationship between the king of Linhe County and Hou Jing was not ordinary, and out of hatred for Hou Jing, he was not polite to Xiao Zhengde.

This is the person asked by King Gao, Murong Shaozong did not delay at all, and personally sent Xiao Zhengde to Changshe.

Along the way, Xiao Zhengde was thrown directly on the saddle, like a rag bag. Of course, he himself still needs to try to keep his balance and not fall out of the saddle. Otherwise he will be dragged away by a horse, and the rope that binds him to the saddle will be attached. If this is the case, it is not certain whether his life can be saved.

Murong Shaozong only wanted to be fast, ignoring Xiao Zhengde's feelings. When he arrived in Changshe City, Xiao Zhengde was already dizzy along the way, and he even vomited out his internal organs.

At this time, the city of Changshe became vain, and the city gate was wide open to welcome the king of the southern dynasty. Outside the Changshe County Office, Xiao Zhengde was finally put down from the horse.

Murong Shaozong said coldly and stiffly, "King Gao has been waiting for His Royal Highness the County King for a long time, please ask His Royal Highness the County King to visit him immediately." ”

The words are polite, but it clearly puts Xiao Zhengde in a first-class position.

Xiao Zhengde heard that Gao Cheng was waiting for him inside, and he really gasped. He subconsciously looked down at himself, the gorgeous and bright rose-purple brocade robe on his body couldn't withstand the toss of the past few days, not only dirty, but also tattered, where was it still suitable for his identity as the king of the county?

At this time, there is no bronze mirror to shine on. But you don't have to know it yourself, although the bun is not completely scattered, barely has a shape, and finally there is a hosta to hold on, but it must be very messy. Dust and dirt are also indispensable on the bun.

Isn't he in tattered clothes and dirty in the way he is now? Xiao Zhengde, who has always been proud of his beautiful posture, really didn't want to go in to see Gao Cheng so embarrassed.

Murong Shaozong didn't care about this, and urged Xiao Zhengde to go in.

Xiao Zhengde secretly thought, fortunately, it was the late spring and early summer, and he had not suffered from the cold all the way, so he must have a good complexion at this time, and he would not be sluggish. When I think about it, I feel very relieved. So he simply made the bearing of the king of the county and walked in with his head held high. Anyway, it's Gao Cheng's villainy, and he broke the contract first, so what's embarrassing about him?

Xiao Zhengde rushed ahead of Murong Shaozong and walked into the inner courtyard with his big sleeves fluttering.

There is an ancient locust tree in the courtyard of this Changshe County Ya, which can't be hugged together, and the trunk of the tree grows like a dragon. This locust tree is different from the general one, and its flowers are purple. Although it is late spring and early summer, before the flowering period, the bright purple of the tree is particularly eye-catching. It's just that after all, it is in decline, and it has also been blown down a lot by the wind, and it has sprinkled the remnants of flowers all over the atrium, all of which are purple petals.

Xiao Zhengde saw Gao Cheng sitting under the locust tree in the atrium. The towering acacia tree was like a canopy for him to shade the sun. is like a gorgeous car, which makes Xiao Zhengde distracted and focused, and he feels rare in his heart.

"King Linhe, don't come unharmed? I didn't expect to see each other in Changshe City. Gao Chengan sat on the exclusive banquet bed and looked at Xiao Zhengde, smiling. There is a kind of naughtiness that is particularly incompatible with his age and identity.

He's in a good mood. Yuzhou was intact, and Hou Jing, the scourge of Hou Jing, was cleared out of the Wei State, and he was naturally very happy when he felt a lump in his chest.

Chen Yuankang, Cui Jishu, Cui Xian and others sat on both sides, looking at Xiao Zhengde with different expressions.

Cui Jishu motioned to the slaves and maids to set up seats for Murong Shaozong of Daxingtai and Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County.

Xiao Zhengde unceremoniously instructed the slave to set his seat in front of Gao Cheng, and then walked over and sat down in a big way, facing Gao Cheng a few cases apart. He unceremoniously entertained himself, and ordered the slave maid to serve tea.

He was really thirsty when he drank it all in a hurry, and he didn't care about any more manners. Then he slapped the shoddy pottery bowl heavily on several cases, and then looked up at Gao Cheng and smiled, "Does King Gao want to take me back to Yecheng with him, or do you want to take me to the south to attack Liang Kingdom?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Zhengde was not afraid, Gao Cheng felt curious, and was full of fun with him, and said with a smile, "A character like the county king, it's useless to use it, this king doesn't know what to do with the county king?" If you are a blue-headed slave with you, you can barely be considered beautiful, but you are older. ”

He really looked at Xiao Zhengde while talking, as if he was really weighing what it would be like to dress him up as a pale slave in his heart. Suddenly, he shook his head and sighed to himself, "This king is also quite hesitant. This king is a person who values righteousness and keeps promises, not like Hou Jing. Since there is an alliance with Emperor Liang in advance, how can he betray the alliance to defeat Liang? How could His Royal Highness the King of the County think this? It's strange to say. It seems that His Royal Highness the King of the County has been too distant from me in the past. The king had no choice but to bring the king back to Yecheng to be a cangtou slave. ”

And that's serious. Xiao Zhengde looked at Gao Cheng dumbfounded. He never thought that Gao Cheng would come up with such an idea. The righteous and awe-inspiring heroic spirit in his heart has long since gone.

He always believed that Gao Cheng didn't dare to do anything to him. But he didn't expect Gao Cheng to have the intention of humiliating him. Look at the subordinate again, and everyone looked at him with mockery, as if he was really Gao Cheng's pale slave, which was worse than killing him.

"King Gao must not act like this!" Xiao Zhengde suddenly felt fear. For a face-saving man like him, what could be more terrible than depriving him of face?

Xiao Zhengde stood up suddenly, and he really wanted to fly with wings.

Gao Cheng also stood up, there was no smile on his face, and he said sharply, "The king of Linhe County is in a hurry to return to Liang, and this king really has no intention of staying." The king of the county thought about it carefully, Hou Jing left Er alone in the Hanging Gourd City, but did not leave a single soldier to protect him, didn't he think that Er would fall into my hands? He's just letting you cover it up and take the opportunity to escape. ”

There was a chill in his green eyes.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhengde didn't believe his words at all, and laughed, "King Gao is really self-deceiving. Hou Jungong is my brother, how can he deceive me? It's that King Gao wants to use me, right? King Gao probably doesn't know the inside story. Wanjing went to Pingyang because of the princess's invitation. It seems that my niece also attaches great importance to Hou Jing. I had mentioned this to the prince earlier, and now it seems that it will come to pass. When he returns to Jiankang and understands the Lord, he can promote the marriage of Hou Jungong and the princess. The county prince is a great sage with the world in mind, and the king of Gao can't see him, and the big beam wants to treat him with all his heart. It is the high king who cannot repent of it, not my lord. ”

Xiao Zhengde thought that these words would scare Gao Cheng. He didn't believe it, and Gao Cheng didn't care at all when he heard about the marriage between Princess Liyang and Hou Jing.

Cui Jishu glanced at Gao Cheng intentionally or unintentionally.

The rest of the people also wanted to see something from Gao Cheng's expression.

Sure enough, it was quiet.

Xiao Zhengde was very proud.

Gao Cheng calmed down and said with a smile, "The Lanling Xiao clan can actually marry a man from a town soldier, and the Liang family is really broad-minded, and it is indeed a great joy." I hope it can be done. ”

Xiao Zhengde was stunned. He just didn't expect Gao Cheng to care at all.

Gao Cheng smiled again, "I'm afraid that before things are harmonious, Hou Jing will die first." ”

Xiao Zhengde frowned, he wanted to say something but didn't say it. He felt that Gao Cheng's words were eerie and strange.

"His Royal Highness," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "Hou Jing went to Pingyang to make an appointment, which I had agreed with the princess in advance." It's just that I don't know how the princess wants Hou Jing to die. ”
