Regarding the Cheshire Lord's request, Zhao Gu thought about it and agreed, counting that the two of them hadn't seen each other for four years, the Cheshire Lord wanted to see his brother, and Zhao Gu had no reason to stop him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

That night, the people of the Guogong Mansion began to get busy, preparing the things they would need to go to the Chuan Gorge Road, and the Cheshire Lord was shopping for various items and planning to send them to the Cheshire Lord.

On the second day, under the reluctant gaze of the three little guys, Zhao Gu took the Cheshire Lord to drive Jian Cong, out of Kaifeng City, and headed for Chuanxia Road.

In this rebellion, Zhao Gu only brought three entourages, except for Hao Bai, the other two were all dart masters of the brothers.

After robbing the prince that night, this group of dart masters was integrated by the two dogs and became the guards of the Guogong Mansion, and after carrying the ten boxes of jewels back that night, Zhao Gu was not stingy, and each of the guards involved in this matter was rewarded with a box of jewels, which was worth a lot of money, and these people were even more desperate.

In addition to these three people, Xiao Jiu's six elder brothers also followed, but they were following in secret, and they would not appear in front of people, just to prevent someone from making trouble.

On the way to Chuanxia Road, as the spring color gradually thickened, the scenery was beautiful, and Zhao Gu and his party were like a spring outing, and they were not in a hurry to enjoy this rare beauty.

In this way, it was not until seven days later that the group entered the boundary of the Sichuan Gorge.

As soon as he arrived, Zhao Gu found that the situation on the Sichuan-Shaanxi Road was much more severe than the one said on the fold, after the group entered the Chuanxia Road, they walked for a long time, and they didn't meet anyone, in this spring season, there should have been many people busy in the fields, but now these fertile fields are full of grass, no one planted.

"You send someone to ask the local people, is the government here still there? Why is there so much fertile land that is not cultivated? Remember, don't give away your identity. After entering Chuanxia Road, the group did not go too far, so Zhao Gu ordered to stop and said to Ergouzi at the same time.

Ergouzi immediately asked one of the guards to go out to inquire, and after a while, the thorny guard came back and reported: "Grandpa Guo, the people on both sides of this Sichuan Gorge seem to be taking refuge, and I finally found a small mountain village from a big mountain recess, and after asking them, I learned that the Zhizhou here was killed by the rebels a few months ago, and now the rebels are in charge here, they are registering, tidying up the fields and people, so many people are so frightened that they hide in the mountains." ”

"Tidy up the fields and the people? Don't they still want to stay here? Zhao Gu asked again: "Did the people say who the leader of the rebel army is?" ”

"I also asked about this, but the people don't know their names, only one surnamed Wang and the other surnamed Li."

Zhao Gu nodded: "I know, Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun, they still rebelled after all." ”

"Xianggong, how do you know that they are rebelling? And not ordinary popular uprisings? Lord Cheshire asked.

Zhao Gu smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't speak, he couldn't say that this was recorded in the history books of later generations, this answer was too unbelievable, it was better not to say it.

"Big brother, what should we do now? If these rebels really want to rebel, how can we put down the rebellion? Ergouzi also asked.

"Let's not rush into Sichuan-Shaanxi Road first, find a place to settle down." Zhao Gu beckoned to the forest not far away, Xiao Yi immediately walked out, Zhao Gu said: "Brother-in-law, please lead the second and third uncles to Chuanxia Road to inquire about information, and contact us as soon as there is news." ”

Xiao Yi took the order and left, and after a while, he disappeared into the mountains and disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Gu then said: "Let's find a nearby valley to live in for a few days, and wait until Xiaoyi and them feedback back the information, if the rebels here are really led by Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun, then we will treat it as if we haven't been here, and whoever likes to come to quell the rebellion will let whoever comes." ”

"Yes."

Although Ergouzi and the others were puzzled, they did not ask, but went into the mountains and forests to find a suitable place to live.

Around the carriage, there were only two people left, Zhao Gu and the Cheshire Lord, and the Cheshire Lord couldn't help but ask: "Xianggong, what do you think, if this Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun really plan to rebel, and you, the counterinsurgency, are afraid that they will be implicated, why don't you enter the Chuanxia Road now, take advantage of the rebels' unstable foothold, and seize power?" ”

Zhao Gu casually plucked a vine from the mountain, made a straw hat in three or two clicks, and said, "That's not what I said. If the Chuanxia Road is just an ordinary people's riot, then the people are nothing more than forced corners, and then I only need to find out the situation, kill a few leaders, and then close a group of supporters, and then I can basically solve the riot, and then ask the people what they need, and apply to the imperial court for distribution. And I estimate that the reason for the riots of the people on the Sichuan Gorge Road is that the imperial court has successively marched north and west in the past two years, extracted excessive taxes, and killed too many soldiers, which caused a commotion among the people. ”

"But if Wang Xiaobo wants to rebel, or they have rebelled, then the situation is completely different, it is by no means so easy to be defeated, once the people form a scale and form an army, the cohesion will be greatly increased, not to mention me, even if the army is transferred, it is not easy to use, what use can we use even if we pass?"

"So, we are waiting at the border of Sichuan and Shaanxi now, once Wang Xiaobo and they really rebel, we will withdraw from Sichuan and Shaanxi Road, pretending not to have been here, so that even if Zhao Guangyi uses the rebellion of the people on Sichuan Gorge Road to set me up for provoking the people's rebellion, I can also use the reason that I have not yet arrived at Sichuan and Shaanxi Road, and I have chosen to go out, I haven't come here yet, and the rebellion of the people on Sichuan and Shaanxi Road is about me."

"On the contrary, if we make our identities clear now, once Wang Xiaobo rebels, Zhao Guangyi will be the first to take me in order to stabilize the people's hearts and the court, and I won't die in vain at that time? After all, everyone knows that I only brought three followers, how could I be able to defeat so many rebels? ”

After listening to Zhao Gu's words, the Cheshire Lord suddenly realized: "I see, this is the way to protect oneself!" ”

Zhao Gu smiled: "You're right, I'm already a master of high merit, if I don't know how to protect myself, maybe I will be beheaded one day, even you and the three little guys will be implicated, for the sake of the whole family, I have to be cautious!" ”
