It's night, Jiangdu, in a palace in the Jiangdu Palace. This is not the palace where the Son of Heaven or the concubines live, just a place for some chamberlains or palace maids to work, but now in this palace, there is no shadow of half of the chamberlains and palace maids, instead of more than ten generals wearing armor! By the dim light of the candles, the group of generals sat in a circle, as if they were discussing something. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

One of the white-faced and beardless generals was Sima Deji, the general of the Royal Forest Army, who glanced at everyone, but he sighed and said: "Today's court meeting, the Holy Lord has ordered to prepare to build Danyang Palace, and the capital will be in Danyang!" It seems that the saint is no longer planning to return to Luoyang! ”

Sima Dejia is also a confidant of the Son of Heaven, these words came out of Sima Dejia's mouth, it must be true! When the generals heard Sima Dejiao's words, they immediately fell silent, and a middle-aged general sitting next to Sima Dejiao, but he was Sima Dejiao's friend, and Yuan Li, who also served as the general of the Tiger Benlang of the Royal Forest Army, also sighed and said: "In the past few months, Xiaoguowei in the army has fled a lot, if the saint really sets the capital Danyang and refuses to go back, I am afraid that there will be more and more people who escape!" When all the soldiers have fled, the saint will be furious, and our heads will not be saved! ”

As soon as Yuan Li's words were finished, he heard a snap, and a young general shot up, it was Tang Fengyi, the city gate lang, I saw that Tang Fengyi was already resolute, and shouted: "I and my family are staying in Luoyang, and now Luoyang is besieged by thieves, and the saint doesn't want to go back to the army to rescue, but let me stay here!" Are we going to watch our families die at the hands of thieves? My parents, wife and children are in Luoyang, I can't watch them die! If the Holy Master insists on staying in Jiangdong, then even if I lose this Master's head, I will go back to Luoyang! ”

"General Tang! Be quiet! Be quiet! Seeing Tang Fengyi say such a thing, the two men beside Tang Fengyi were also so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly pulled Tang Fengyi down, these two people were Yuan Min and Zhang Kai, Yuan Min cautiously said to Tang Fengyi: "General Tang! Be careful, beware of the walls with ears! ”

Tang Fengyi is young and vigorous, he is a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and when he heard Yuan Min say this, his eyes immediately widened, and he was about to shout when he opened his mouth. But at this time, Sima Dejiao shouted: "Fengyi! In the battle of Yanmen Pass, Tang Fengyi received Sima Dejiao's life-saving grace, and he respected him very much.

Tang Fengyi stopped, and all the generals were also relieved, after all, if their current conspiracy was known by the Son of Heaven, with the current temper of the Son of Heaven, it would definitely be a capital crime! Everyone is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and they have the best understanding of the Son of Heaven's Long Wei, and they have a heartfelt fear of the Son of Heaven!

After a moment of silence, Sima Dejiao said to a middle-aged man with a beard sitting opposite him, "Lord Niu, how is the mood of the saint today?" ”

The middle-aged man is Fu Xilang Niu Fangyu, the so-called Fu Xilang is the official who is in charge of Fu Xi for the Son of Heaven, and he can be regarded as a close minister of the Son of Heaven. Hearing Sima Dejiao's question, Niu Fangyu immediately shook his head and replied: "The saint's mood has not been very good these days, and he has nightmares every day!" Just now, when I was waiting by the saint's side, the saint was also preparing to write a holy decree urging the state and county to transport building materials to Danyang and speed up the construction of Danyang Palace! ”

Niu Fangyu's words made the faces of Sima Dejiao and the generals a lot gloomy. Taking a deep breath, Ying Yanglang said in a deep voice: "Brother Sima! It can't be put off any longer! I heard that Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, has captured Chang'an! Luoyang is also besieged by bandits! If we delay any longer, I am afraid that there will be nowhere to go in the world, and we can only accompany the saint to wait for death in Jiangdong! ”

If Tang Fengyi's words were already disobedient before, then Meng Bing's words are tantamount to great rebellion! But Meng Bingna is a veteran in the Imperial Forest Army, he has served in the army for more than ten years, and his previous loyalty to the saint is no less than Sima Dejiao! Even he said such words, which shows what the mood of the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army is now!

Xu Hongren and Xue Shiliang, the two of them, glanced at each other, and Xu Hongren also said in a deep voice: "There were several generals who reported to the Holy Lord because of Xiaoguo's escape, and before they saw the Holy Shang, they ate a board first!" After seeing the saint, he was directly ordered by the saint to be killed outside the temple! If this continues, I'm afraid that it won't be long before we all end up in the same fate! General Sima! You say, what are we going to do! ”

As Xu Hongren finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Sima Dejian, and Sima Dekan's face changed again and again, his loyalty to the Son of Heaven in the past was naturally needless to say. But now what the Son of Heaven has done has made Sima Dekan completely chilled! Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on himself, Sima Dejiao also took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Instead of waiting for death here, it is better for us to follow the soldiers out of here and return to Luoyang!" ”

"Good!" Sima Dejiao's words, almost everyone should have cheered, what Sima Dejiao said was exactly what they thought in their hearts, but Sima Dejiao, as the leader of everyone, didn't speak, and they didn't dare to bring up this matter! Yuan Li nodded again and again, and said, "That's it, let's go back tonight to pack up and escape from Jiangdu overnight!" After leaving Jiangdu, we can't go north directly, we must guard against the Holy Lord sending people to pursue, don't forget, General Dou is a lesson from the past! ”

The general Dou in Yuanli's mouth is the Lang general Dou Xian, this person is also a general in the Imperial Forest Army, but his identity is a little problematic, he is the brother-in-law of Li Yuan, the prince of Tang Guo, who has rebelled! After the news of Li Yuan's rebellion came, Dou Xian immediately fled from Jiangdu with his soldiers and horses, but was chased and killed by the Son of Heaven. The meaning of Yuan Li's words is to remind everyone that they must guard against the Son of Heaven sending pursuers to chase and kill. And everyone also took Yuan Li's words seriously, after all, the Son of Heaven is still the Son of Heaven after all, and the dragon power of the Son of Heaven has been imprinted in their hearts over the years, even if they are ruthless to escape, they are still very scared in their hearts.

"Hahahaha!" At this time, a sudden laughter came out of the crowd, but it startled such a group of people with ghosts, and even a few people subconsciously pulled out their swords! And after everyone reacted, they found that the person who laughed was among them, but it was Zhao Xingshu, the general of Huyalang who had not spoken before. This Zhao Xingshu's military power in the Imperial Forest Army is not lower than Sima Dejiao at all, but Zhao Xingshu usually acts in a low-key manner, and it is rare to laugh like now.

Seeing Zhao Xingshu laughing so loudly, but everyone was frightened, Zhang Kai's face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly stepped forward to grab Zhao Xingshu and shouted: "Zhao, General Zhao!" General Zhao! Don't, stop laughing! Don't laugh! It will be heard! Don't, stop laughing! ”

Zhao Xingshu pushed Zhang Kai away, but poor Zhang Kai was a civilian official in the imperial hospital, although he was wearing armor, his body was very thin, how could he withstand such a push from Zhao Xingshu, who was on the back of a tiger! And Zhao Xingshu finally stopped laughing, but glanced at everyone and sneered: "Everyone, do you think that if we gather together like this, we can really hide people's eyes?" It's just naïve! I dare to say that now the eyes and ears of the Holy Lord are already on their way to the Holy Sleeping Palace! ”

As soon as Zhao Xingshu said this, he immediately scared everyone enough, and many people were directly so frightened that they collapsed in their positions, covered with cold sweat, and couldn't even speak. And Sima Dejiao was also relatively bold, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhao! What exactly are you trying to say? ”

"Don't worry!" Seeing Sima Dejiao's appearance, Zhao Xingshu's eyes also flashed a trace of approval, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he smiled: "Even if the ears and eyes of the saint tell the saint about this, the saint will not listen!" The matter of the secret meeting between General Sima and Master Pei had already been told to the Holy Lord before, and the result was? General Sima is not sitting here properly! I heard that the spy was beheaded by the saint! So, ladies and gentlemen, you can rest assured! ”

Zhao Xingshu's words finally relieved everyone, but Sima Dejiao's face was difficult to look at, the Master Pei in Zhao Xingshu's mouth just now was Pei Qiantong of the prison gate, and he and Sima Dejiao were also good friends, and it was Pei Qiantong's words that made Sima Dejiao firm up his thoughts, so he gathered everyone to discuss here. It's just that Pei Qiantong is not a general of the Royal Forest Army, and he is not an official in the palace, so it is inconvenient to enter the palace at this time. Sima Dejiao thought that no one knew about the secret meeting between himself and Pei Qiantong, but he didn't expect that he had already been known by the eyes and ears of the saint, and he was naturally terrified in his heart, but Sima Dejiao covered it up better, but his face was a little ugly.

Sima Dejiao stabilized his mind a little, stared at Zhao Xingshu with wide eyes, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhao! What do you want to say, you might as well say it clearly! ”

Sima Dejiao's straightforward statement also made Zhao Xingshu stunned, but Zhao Xingshu quickly laughed again, nodded and said: "General Sima is quick to talk, so he won't hide it below!" Well, it's better to have another person explain the matter! Shilan, please invite him over! ”

As Zhao Xingshu finished speaking, a thin man who had been sitting behind Zhao Xingshu immediately turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace, most people didn't know this thin man, only Xu Hongren and Xue Shiliang recognized it as Yang Shilan, the palace attendant. It's just that everyone doesn't know who Zhao Xingshu wants Yang Shilan to ask for?
