Xiao Zhengde's emotions have long been substituted by Hou Jing. Not only did Hou Jing become a compassionate person who thought about the common people in the world, but even he himself became a person of insight who was simple and talented for the common people in the world under this hint.

Hou Jing didn't mention any grievances he had suffered, and he didn't mention avenging his son. He said this to Xiao Zhengde, to Lan Jing, and to those Wei soldiers and soldiers.

He wanted to dispel the doubts in the hearts of these people. They were not traitors to the Great Wei. It was because Gao Cheng and other people like the City Fox Society had messed up the temples of the Wei State, so he took his subordinates to find Mingjun. They are not betrayals, they are ambitious.

Xiao Zhengde, who has always been extremely particular about his beauty, was completely boiling in his heart at this time. He wiped the tears on his face with the big sleeves of the gorgeous brocade robe, and Huo Ran got up.

"The second brother, the prince of the county, will be the minister of the dynasty and the person of the family in the future," he walked over to help Hou Jing, "The second brother and I will go into the city now, and discuss how to go north to raise troops, so as to take this opportunity to cross the Rushui and Yingshui, and attack the Changshe City, capture that Xianbei child in one fell swoop, so as to avenge the hard-working nephew." ”

Xiao Zhengde couldn't help but say all the breath in his heart. But he didn't say that the reason why he wanted to attack Changshe and catch Gao Cheng was also to take the opportunity to make a contribution. When the time comes, after Daliang dominates the world, he will also be a man of great merit. He thought that he had specifically mentioned Hou He, and he should have been able to say what Hou Jing was thinking and get his approval.

Hou Jing didn't agree with it at all. The last thing he wants is for others to think that he is going to take revenge. And he didn't want to go back to attack the Changsha right now.

These Wei pawns who followed him have more or less local feelings. If they attack the old master immediately, they will definitely be conflicted in their hearts. And Hou Jing didn't have a real grasp in his heart.

Murong Shaozong chased Ying Shui that day, extremely brave, if it wasn't for him retreating quickly, the consequences would be difficult to say. The most terrifying thing is that Murong Shaozong is not a brave and resourceless person.

During the Battle of Bishan, he played the true and false in Tongguan so skillfully, and the strategy matched the strange soldiers, and it was because of this that the Eastern Wei army defeated the Western Wei army.

Hou Jing wanted to go south to Jiankang as soon as possible. He needs to find a suitable status for himself in Liang State. This is the most important thing at the moment.

"Listen to the orders of the eldest brother." Hou Jing supported Xiao Zhengde in reflex, and did not reveal his true thoughts in his heart, and then entered the Hanging Fortress City with Xiao Zhengde.

In parallel with Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, and Lan Jing, the general of Jianwei, Princess Liyang and her party also left Pingyang City and infiltrated the Wei State to the north.

Du Huai, Du Ru, Du Ying, finally saw Changshe City from afar. For Princess Liyang, the Changshe is in sight, although she knows that Gao Cheng is in the Changshe City, but the mood at this time is far more than just looking forward to seeing him to comfort her thoughts.

What she didn't know was that Gao Cheng in Changshe City was also worried at this time, and was agreeing with Murong Shaozong and others on how to pursue Hou Jing. Or rather, or whether to do it.

The weather has suddenly warmed up these days, and the weather of early spring has erased the traces of winter that have passed. The shore of Yingshui has faintly appeared blue. It's just that no matter how good the spring sun is, it can't sweep away all the troubles in people's hearts.

In front of Yutu, Murong Shaozong told Gao Cheng in detail about his plan.

The Hanging Gourd City is certainly a passage that can go north and south, but because of this, it is also a lonely city hanging here.

Murong Shaozong's intention was to approach the south in a big way, besieging the Hanging Gourd City to the ground. After all, Runan County is the boundary of Wei, and the Liang-Wei alliance is still there, does Liang really dare to betray the alliance to save it, and he has to interfere in the family affairs of Wei Guoqing's civil strife?

It's just that Murong Shaozong forgot that his intention was to capture Hou Jing and take back Runan. Gao Cheng considered the problem from a different angle than him, so naturally it was impossible to completely agree with his ideas.

killed Hou He that day, chased Ying Shui, and failed to capture Hou Jing in one fell swoop. After all, Hou Jing has been operating in Yuzhou for many years and is extremely powerful. His soldiers and subordinates were loyal to him and were willing to use their lives, regardless of whether Hou Jing was a traitor or not. In their eyes, it doesn't matter who the emperor of Great Wei is, as long as Hou Jungong is there, everything will be fine.

Gao Cheng felt that with the power of Murong Shaozong, it was not completely impossible to capture Hou Jing. But it is bound to be time-consuming and laborious, and it is difficult to say where things will go, after all, Liang Guo has already intervened.

He couldn't stay in Yuzhou for too long. Setting aside a period of time for Yecheng is to force people to show their original form and do things that they usually dare not do. But if it takes too long and Yecheng is empty, not to mention that things can change quickly.

Gao Cheng knew in his heart that it would be difficult for Hou Jing's forces to be eradicated in an instant. If this could really be the case, his father, Xianwu King Gao Huan, would have done it long ago when he was alive.

It's not a simple matter of eliminating an opponent. There are too many connections behind Hou Jing.

I'm afraid that people who do whatever they want really never existed, just like the Tianzhu General Er Zhurong did it temporarily, who knows how many disasters are brewing behind him? The death of the clan was almost instantaneous.

In this way, the difference between Hou Jing in Wei and not in Wei is great. On the contrary, he treasoned and went out of Wei, and it was better to deal with him.

The sun is shining, and the sun is shining all over the city. Cui Jishu and Gao Cheng walked slowly along the Chengtou Road one after the other.

Gao Cheng was in front, looking out of the city as he walked, and the Ying River was faintly visible, and he could vaguely feel the sparkling waves in the sun.

Cui Jishu followed behind him, looking at Gao Cheng's back. People who suddenly feel extra tall don't know when they have lost some weight. I didn't pay attention to it before, but now it seems obvious.

The weather in early spring was hot and cold, but today the sun was particularly good, and Gao Cheng was dressed very thinly. The hakama-fold waist turned out to be a little too slender.

Behind him, hair scattered like clouds. When he was a young man, this kind of braided hair made people feel like a naughty boy who was full of vitality and bohemian frivolity. No matter how you look at the back now, I feel that he is a man who is uninhibited on the surface, but actually has a heart for the city.

"When will the king return to Yecheng?" Cui Jishu saw Gao Cheng stop, and also came up and asked.

"What, you're more anxious than me?" Gao Cheng didn't even look at him, his eyes were attracted by a few flying horses galloping outside Changshe City at some point.

"I'm afraid that the king is too worried about the princess." Cui Jishu looked at no one in front of him and simply made a joke. He couldn't see him so worried. I can't find the shadow of the boy I used to be anymore. At this time, under the sun, the green mustache under his chin was particularly noticeable.

"What is there for her?" The shadow of the moonlight flashed in Gao Cheng's heart. Speaking from the heart, he thinks that as long as she doesn't bully others and she doesn't look for trouble, where can anyone dare to embarrass her? Although she is now nameless and unshared, who doesn't know that she has long been his person? I'm afraid that when he returns to Yecheng, I don't know what trouble she has caused again, waiting for him to clean it up. Gao Cheng could only sigh in his heart, as long as she was fine, he would have nothing else to ask for.

Cui Jishu nodded frequently, "The king doesn't have to worry. Even Liu Taozhi, a minion, was left to the princess, and the back house is quiet now, and no one dares to make trouble. There is also a queen in the palace, in addition to the queen and the princess, the king thinks too well for the princess. ”

Gao Cheng realized that the "princess" Cui Jishu said meant Yuan Zhonghua.

He didn't care about Cui Jishu. Yuan Zhonghua was pregnant for several months, had difficulty moving, and never liked to be lively, so he lived in a simple house. There is also Liu Taozhi, who told him to follow the princess closely. With such strict precautions, it must be fine.

Although it was a bit risky, he had to use this method to force some people to be true.

"Don't worry, don't worry," he turned to look at Cui Jishu, "Everything is appropriate, you also know it in your heart." ”

Cui Jishu said with a smile, "What the king said is that the king is very helped. He didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Gao Cheng inadvertently raised his head and glanced into the distance, and found that someone was rushing towards this side. He originally wanted to ask Cui Jishu, but he didn't say any more.

"My lord, there is a letter." An officer dressed as a samurai in two-crotch armor came running with a birch arrow inlaid with carved feathers in his hand. When the sound came, he knelt down on one knee and held the arrow.

Gao Cheng took the feather arrow, took off a silk book tied on it, and unfolded it casually. There is only one sentence, "Ask about important things, and see you outside the city." The inscription is "Lanling Xiaoshi".

Gao Cheng took the silk book and read it, but did not speak.

Cui Jishu stood beside him and could see the contents of the silk book clearly. He secretly looked up and saw Gao Cheng's expression as if he was using some brain.

This word is written in an atmospheric and delicate manner, coupled with the signature of "Lanling Xiao Clan", Cui Jishu thought of a person early. He believed that Gao Cheng must have thought of it too.

In fact, Cui Jishu was not surprised. Since he went to Jiankang with Gao Cheng a few years ago, he has seen it: the emperor of Liang is a Buddha, the prince is weak and chaotic, the grandson is young, and Princess Liyang is no longer the girl who only knows poetry, music and dance in the past.

Gao Cheng held the silk book in his hand, "Shu Zhenger will go with me." So saying, he walked down the road to the stone staircase of the city wall.

Cui Jishu hurriedly followed.

Outside the city of Changshe, not far from the edge of the Ying River, Xiao Qiongju, the princess of Liyang, stared at the sparkling river in the sun and couldn't figure out what Lan Jing said, how Gao Cheng kicked Hou He into the Ying River, and then stood on the bank and watched, letting him sink into the river and drown. She always felt that this person was not Gao Cheng she knew.

General Shinmu Yang Yan strolls around a little farther away. There were no other guards in sight behind him. The princess told that it was easy to attract attention if there were more people, and besides, it was no different if there were dozens more or dozens less.

Yang Shunhua saw it first, and someone was riding a horse in the distance. The direction should be from the city of Changshe. When you get closer, you can see that it is two horses, and if you get closer, you can see clearly that it is Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu.

She was a little surprised. I didn't expect Gao Cheng to come so quickly, and only Cui Jishu followed, no one else.

Yang Shunhua slowly approached Xiao Qiongju, who was still staring at Yinghe and thinking about his thoughts, and reminded in a soft whisper, "Princess, the King of Bohai of Wei is here." At the same time, she carefully scanned the scene of Changshe City behind Gao Cheng.

Xiao Qiongju seemed to wake up suddenly, and immediately turned around and looked up into the distance. Sure enough, I saw Gao Cheng, who was wearing hakama and hair in braids, coming on horseback, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of her.

Gao Cheng also saw Xiao Qiongju and Yang Shunhua on the edge of the Ying River, both of whom were men's clothes in order not to attract attention. It's just that the spring is sunny and the weather is suitable, so there is no need to wear fox fur anymore.

I haven't seen him for a few years, but this man who is in the prime of his youth in front of him is not the boy in his memory, and he has to sigh that time is fleeting. The free and wild when I was a teenager is gone, although the person in front of me is still beautiful and captivating, the green eyes are no longer crystal clear, so deep that people feel unfathomable.

Gao Cheng walked over and went straight to Xiao Qiongju.

Cui Jishu had already stopped and stopped farther behind him.

Xiao Qiongju didn't hesitate and also caught up.

Yang Shunhua didn't follow. She subconsciously stroked her waist. She was dressed as a scholar today, and she did not carry a sword, but she carried a dagger. The dagger that never left his body was still given by Gao Cheng.

"The King of Bohai came as soon as he saw the letter, and I thank the King. The matter is important, and I have to make an appointment in private, and the king will forgive me. Xiao Qiongju bowed his hand slightly.

"Since the princess said that it was an important matter, she might as well say it bluntly, and she doesn't have to be so polite." Gao Cheng also gave up his hand.

Xiao Qiongju turned around and walked towards the Ying River.

Gao Cheng followed her. Then he walked up to her, and the two of them walked slowly side by side.

Cui Jishu looked at it from afar, sighing in his heart. I never thought that Gao Cheng and Xiao would meet like today.

Yang Shunhua watched the two of them walk past her, until they reached the slope along the river, and then walked down.

Xiao Qiongju stopped and turned around, "Hou Jing's silk book says that the king of Bohai is a hero and a general......

"The princess is here to ask me to meet her, is she here?" Gao Cheng interrupted her. "Do you believe it?"

Xiao Qiongju didn't expect him to be so domineering, and he could see that he didn't mean it, so he was used to it. She suddenly felt that the Great Wei Tianzi might have been scorned by this powerful minister.

Yuan Shanjian, she thought of this person at the same time.

It seems that Hou Jing said that Gao Chengling forced him, and it is not completely uncommon.

"Why is the King of Bohai so intolerant?" Xiao Qiongju said extremely unhappily, "How could I ever say that I believe in Hou Jing? In the past, the affairs of King Bohai and Hou Jing were the affairs of the Wei State and had nothing to do with the Liang State. I didn't invite the king to see him today to manage the grievances between the King of Bohai and Hou Jing. Since the king of Bohai is so impatient, he will forgive me for saying that the king killed Hou Jing's son, and it seems that the king deliberately forced Hou Jing to rebel against Wei. Now that Hou Jing wants to descend to the Liang Kingdom, this person is a treacherous and treacherous person, and he will become a disaster, can the king bear to watch this person kill the Liang Kingdom? ”

Gao Cheng didn't expect a deep girl to see his mind so clearly. But hearing her say that it was very prickly. In the end, he said patiently, "The princess is right, this person is a treacherous person." It's over, and I don't want to explain it to the princess. But it wasn't that I forced him to commit treason, it was that he had a heart of treason, how could I keep it? Killing his son was my helplessness. The prince mainly thinks that he will be killed, but I don't know if Liang really wants to accept this traitor of Wei and treat him as an important minister and give him a high position? If Liang is like this, he must be trying to take a trick, how can he blame Wei State? The covenant is still there, the seventh prince Xiangdong King is in Yecheng, but Liang Guo wants to abandon his faith so regardless of profit, what can I do? and be rebuked by the princess. What did the princess want? ”

His tone was full of grievances. Yes, treacherous treachery, treasonous treason...... Since the death of his father, Gao Huan, the king of martial arts, he has experienced enough of the taste of being alone.

Xiao Qiongju stared at Gao Cheng's green eyes, and didn't know what to do for a while. Originally, she was resentful and felt that the responsibility was on Gao Cheng. Now listening to his defense, I feel that the responsibility is not on Gao Cheng.

"King Bohai misunderstood what I me......" she said hesitantly.

"The princess misunderstands me, and I don't dare to argue, I have suffered a lot of grievances, and I don't care about any more." Gao Cheng seemed to be a little angry.

Xiao Qiongju felt uncomfortable, it was difficult to persuade him, and she felt that she had wronged him, and she was very sorry. The two of them were quiet for a moment, and finally Xiao Qiongju asked first, "Now that the matter is over, what does King Bohai want to do?" Her tone softened a lot.

"The country is already unstable," Gao Cheng sighed, "There was another incident with Hou Jing, and now the internal worries have turned into external troubles." Even the princess blamed me, and I didn't know how Liang Tianzi resented me. It's just Hou Jing's business, and I'm really powerless. What can the princess do? ”

Xiao Qiongju almost felt sorry for him. But when he heard Gao Cheng ask, he said the method he had originally thought of in his heart. "If the King of Bohai is interested, he might as well work with Liang Guo to get rid of the scourge of Hou Jing, wouldn't the two countries be quiet?"
