Chapter 537: The Wind Rises

Chapter 537 The Wind Rises and Surges Yecheng, the Imperial Palace.

Since the beginning of the new year, it is rare for Gao Wei to appear for the first time in the imperial study, the confidential place where the emperor deals with important military and political affairs, and it is rare that he did not show his absurdity and his tyranny for the first time.

Gao Wei, who was sitting lazily on the dragon chair behind the bookcase, his face was very pale, even the green tendons on his cheekbones were faintly visible, and there was a faint tiredness and vanity between his eyebrows, and the whole person looked sick. However, his bloodshot eyes were very energetic at this time, flashing with a strange color, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of evil energy, exciting, excited, and crazy.

In front of the bookcase, there was a rich Han Changluan, and like Gao Wei, his face was also a crazy and smug smile.

"Han Aiqing, Gao Yu has really arrived outside the state, and has sent an envoy to Jinyang to persuade the rebellious Gao Yanzong to change his mind and join the imperial court?" Gao Wei's eyes widened, staring at Han Changluan tightly, and asked in a very low voice.

"Yes!" Han Changluan nodded and said: "Five days ago, the Jin King Gao Xiang came to the annexation of the state, not only sent envoys to Jinyang to persuade the rebel Gao Yanzong to surrender, but also persuaded the king of Wu, Gao Changgong, to understand the righteousness and help the imperial court recover the annexation and quell the rebellion.

According to Jin Yang's detailed work, the current relationship between Gao Yanzong and King Wu is very stiff, and there is a lot of dispute in person, and they are almost about to meet each other. Gao Xiang is currently actively deploying, and it is estimated that when King Dugu Yongye of Zhou goes north, it will be the time for him to launch an offensive. ”

"Good!" Gao Wei laughed when he heard this, in addition to the joy of revenge, there was also a deep resentment, "Daqi has been weak for a long time, and the soldiers are weak, so it's a good thing to let these uncles and brothers of mine practice together!" ”

After a pause, the corners of Gao Wei's mouth hooked up a cruel sneer: "How is Gao Xiaoheng now, has he taken Qingzhou?" ”

Han Changluan frowned and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the war between King Lu and Qingzhou is still stalemate, Qingzhou City has thick walls and abundant materials, and the corporal under the command of King Wu is not only incomparable, but also has a large number of people, how difficult it is for King Lu to capture Qingzhou with a mere army of 30,000, and now it is even more defeated, the food and grass are insufficient, and the morale is low, I am afraid that he will be defeated!" ”

"Huh?" Gao Wei frowned, his face couldn't help but be a little gloomy, and he said in a cold tone: "Damn Gao Changgong, I should have killed him back then!" After a pause, Gao Wei continued: "You can't call Gao Xiaoheng defeated, otherwise my plan will not be in vain, and I ordered Murong Sanzang to quickly recruit 20,000 troops and allocate a batch of materials to Gao Xiaoheng."

Ordered Wang Lin to go north on the same day, otherwise he will be punished for conspiracy, and whoever can capture and kill him will be named the new king of Chu! Summoned Dugu Yongye, I must see Gao Yanzong's dog head before Qingming, otherwise I will ask him to come to see him! ”

Gao Wei's words were solemn and murderous. And how vicious his orders are, it shows that Gao Wei is now completely crazy, and all he wants is to completely destroy the country and let tens of millions of people bury him.

Just when Gao Wei was calculating the world and carrying out his plan to destroy the world, on the bank of the Yellow River, a happy man dressed in white was quietly staring at Hulu Zhongdu, who was dressed in coarse linen.

Since he was captured by Qin Qiong, it has been several months, compared to the past and present, Hu Lu Zhong has become thinner, but his complexion is not much sluggish, but more stable and calm, and even the childishness on his face has disappeared a lot.

"Hulu Zhongdu, I haven't seen you for a few months, but are you okay?" Asked with a happy smile.

"Why, you've figured out a way to deal with me, so come on!" Hu Luzhong didn't answer the rhetorical question, his tone was a little cold, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes. For the people of the Gao royal family, Hu Lu Zhong is very hateful in his heart, not to mention that he was arrogant and arrogant, he was imprisoned by the enemy for several months, although he was not abused, but how can outsiders know the gap and grievances in his heart.

Happy smiled disappreciatively and asked softly, "Do you want revenge?" ”

"What?" Hu Lu Zhong was stunned, and he couldn't react for a while, and he was happy to say what he meant.

"Hundreds of liters fly to the sky, the sun and the moon shine on Chang'an. The mountains do not collapse by pushing, and the mistletoe trees do not support themselves. Happy turned to look at the Yellow River in front of him, the clear voice sounded leisurely, in the turbulent, rolling Yellow River against the backdrop with a strange power, straight through the heart of the rhythm of the bell.

Although Xing Xing did not turn around, he still felt that Hu Lu Zhongdu's breathing paused for a moment, and then became heavy and disordered, his fists clenched violently, his teeth clenched, creaked, his whole body was murderous, his face was twisted and hideous, his eyes were even more bloody, and the hatred and anger from his heart erupted out, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.

It was because of this nursery rhyme that his father, the most outstanding general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Hu Luguang, known as the Governor of Luodiao, died tragically under the slander of Zu Ting and Mu Tipo, and the culprit of all this was the patriarch of the Gao royal family, the emperor of the Northern Qi Empire, Gao Wei.

Thinking of the hundreds of uncles and brothers who died innocently and tragically under the butcher's knife, the monstrous hatred in Hu Lu Zhongdu's heart could not be contained, and his blood gushed so much that he almost wanted to go crazy, and he hated to eat Gao Wei alive.

"I can give you a chance to get revenge." Happy turned around, his face was very calm, and he said in an indifferent tone.

Hu Lu Zhongdu's chaotic brain suddenly cleared due to anger and hatred, his eyes widened, he took a step forward, stared at him with burning joy and said in a deep voice: "Is this true?!" His voice was hoarse, apparently due to a violent mood swing.

happily stared at Hu Lu Zhongdu quietly, and said unhurriedly: "I can give you a chance to kill Gao Wei with your own hands, and in the future, I can also let you get rid of Mu Ti Po with your own hands, but you have to promise me one condition." ”

"As long as I can avenge my father and kill Gao Wei and Mu Tiva with my own hands, don't say one condition, even if it is a hundred?!" Hu Lu Zhongdu's hideous face was full of madness, and his tone was sonorous and powerful, resolute as iron.

"Okay, I only need you one condition, and it is your loyalty."

Hu Lu Zhong was slightly stunned, but he just hesitated for a moment and then knelt on the ground with a "poof", standing upright, fingertips to the sky, and said solemnly and solemnly: "The yellow sky is above, the earth is below, today I Hu Lu Zhong is here to swear in the name of the ancestors and ancestors, if I am happy to help me with the enemy, in order to avenge the killing of my father, I will swear to follow him to the death, life after life, never abandon, if this oath is violated, people and gods will abandon together, willing to suffer the punishment of thousands of knives, death has no place to be buried!" ”

The voice of Hu Lu Zhongdu is not loud, but the firm and crazy voice is the sound of the rushing river that cannot be concealed, which makes people can't help but feel a little frightened.

"Lord!" Seeing that he nodded happily, the murderous aura on Hu Lu Zhongdu's body suddenly dissipated, regained his calm, and bowed respectfully.

"Get up!" happily stretched out his hand to signal, and when Hu Lu Zhong got up, he said: "The Commander of the Eagle is Yingming I, but he is not framed by a villain, which is really embarrassing." Gao Wei acted perversely, the sky was angry and people resented, if he didn't die, it would be difficult to save the Great Qi country. In three days, I will send troops to attack Yecheng, reorganize the dynasty, and eliminate the traitors. ”

"Lord, the villain is not talented, he is willing to be a pioneer!" Hu Lu Zhong knelt on the ground again, looked at the joy with an eager and sincere face, and said loudly, because he was excited and sad, a dignified seven-foot man, and his eyes were a little red.

"The Governor of Luodiao is highly respected, and the protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and now we want to be the governor of the city, and the world will inevitably gather to respond, I plan to let you contact people with lofty ideals in Yecheng in the middle, and I should cooperate with the outside to break through Yecheng in one fell swoop, I don't know what you think?" He looked at Hu Lu Zhong happily and solemnly and said.

Hu Lu Zhong looked at it firmly and said happily: "Thank you for the trust of the lord, the villain will definitely live up to his trust." ”

"Okay, you will go to Yecheng now, if you encounter difficulties, you can ask Xiao Ling for help." As he spoke, he happily pointed to Xiao Ling, who was standing quietly not far away, like a sculpture, dressed in black, his eyes suddenly became sharp, like a sharp sword from Sen Leng, shooting directly at the bottom of Hu Lv Zhongdu's heart, and said in a cold tone: "Remember, you only have three days, and I never want waste here!" ”

Hu Lu Zhongdu's heart froze, and he was silent for a moment, and then nodded heavily.

……

Jinyang, the regent's palace.

Although Gao Yanzong is just a puppet, and Gao Changgong is the real ruler of Bingzhou, some things are still not easy to encroach on, otherwise it will only be self-defeating. It was Gao Changgong who did not occupy the magpie's nest and lived in the palace, but chose the mansion of the Luo Bing family of the Mutipo clan as the palace.

At this time, an uninvited guest came to the reception room of the Regent's Mansion, this person was an old man in good spirits, with a red face, a calm momentum, and restrained eyes, which made people dare not underestimate him, this person was Liu Zhong, the elder of the Moon Worship Sect.

Although Gao Wei is an emperor, he is in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, and now he has betrayed his relatives, and his news is obviously not as well-informed as the Moon Worship Sect. Gao Wei thought that Gao Xiaoheng was fighting with Gao Changgong, but Liu Zhong knew that all this was just a smokescreen from happiness, and Jeju and Qizhou had already fallen into the hands of happiness. And not only that, the Lunatic Cult also faintly received rumors, and Xingxing was actively reorganizing its armaments and preparing to cross the river to the north to defeat the faint king.

For Happy, Liu Zhong was both annoyed and jealous, he never thought that the Lunatic Sect showed such sincerity, and Happy was still arrogant and ruthless, not to mention including Jeju in the bag, and seriously injured many elite disciples of the Lunatic Sect.

The Lunatic Cult is a huge force with lush branches, and the interests in it are also intricate, and there are many factions, even though Liu Zhong is an elder and has great power, he cannot completely dominate the direction of the Lunatic Cult.

There are quite a few people in the Lunatic Worship Sect who have no good feelings about Happy at all, and now Happy has acted arbitrarily several times, and the voices in the Sect opposing the alliance with Happy are getting louder and louder, and Liu Zhong is anxious and inevitably has some resentment towards Happy Happy.

However, Liu Zhong is not a short-sighted person, he knows very well that only Gao Changgong's father and son can dominate the country in Qi now, and it is not a good thing to choose to oppose them against the Lunatic Sect. Having said that, he naturally wouldn't let go of the benefits that the Lunatic Cult should strive for. Therefore, after negotiating with Gao Xing to no avail, Liu Zhong had to go to Jinyang to visit Gao Changgong alone, hoping to reach a consensus with him.
