In the third year of Jianxing, on March 20, General Pingbei and Pingzhou Thorn Shi Weishuo arrived in Jianye by sea.

For the first time in their lives, Wei Shuo saw the beautiful spring color that was completely different from the rough scenery outside the Saiwai, the south of the Yangtze River in March, everywhere was peach and willow green, and the warblers were singing and dancing, as if there was a fragrance in the air.

"Jianye's original name was Moling, the Three Kingdoms Wu lord Sun Quan built the capital Moling, and changed its name to Jianye, and changed its name to Jiankang in the first year of Jianxing. It is adjacent to Zhongshan Mountain in the east, Qinhuai in the south, leaning on the river in the west, and Houhu Lake in the north, which is within the natural barrier. After the king of Langya moved to Jianye, he took the Qinhuai River as the boundary and divided the two counties of Jiankang and Moling. ”

"Lord, although Jianye has no outer Guocheng, there are stone towns and Xizhou cities in the southwest, white stone bases are built on the Yangtze River in the northern suburbs, Zhongshan is in the northeast, Dongfu City is in the east, Danyang County is in the south, and there are heavy troops in Dutun. And the southeast two sides are along the Qingxi and Qinhuai rivers to erect fences, set up fences, as the outer line of defense. ”

Mo Han took a breath and raised his finger to Taicheng in the distance and said, "Lord, that is the central palace of Jianye, and King Langya should be there to meet your lordship." After going ashore, you must bypass the Northeast Zhongshan Mountain, enter from the main gate of the south side, and walk through the two-mile royal road to the main gate of the capital, Xuanyang Gate. ”

Wei Shuo took a deep breath and roared, "The warship docks, you follow me into the city!" ”

"Into the city, into the city!" Zhang Biao, Neng Chen, Duan Wenyang and others shouted excitedly.

Three hundred guards embraced Wei Shuo and urged the horse to gallop up, roaring all the way through Zhongshan Mountain.

……

On the order of King Langya, those who went out of the city to greet Wei Shuo were old friends Liu Kui, the prime minister's office, and Zuo Changshi Diao Xie.

Liu Kui is forty-two years old this year, with a medium build, a handsome appearance, but his expression is a little aggrieved, thinking that he has not been resting well recently, and looking at Wei Shuo with a little worry in his eyes.

Diao Xie is not. His expression was excited, staring at Wei Shuo as if he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

As soon as Wei Shuo raised his hand, three hundred brightly armored guards dismounted and stood in unison. His uniform movements shocked Diao Xie's heart, and then he remembered that Wei Shuo was a fierce general killed in the sea of corpses and blood, and he didn't dare to take another look, so he hurriedly dressed up and greeted Liu Kui side by side.

"Naogen. Don't come unharmed? Time flies so fast, when Pengcheng said goodbye, four years passed in the blink of an eye. ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Liu, I'm glad to be there!"

Wei Shuo pulled Liu Kui to greet him, and later met Diao Xie under Liu Kui's introduction. He knew that the two people in front of him were both important confidants of King Langya, so he was careful not to slack off. Subsequently, accompanied by Liu Kui and Diao Xie, Wei Shuo and his entourage galloped into Da Sima Gate.

……

"General, I heard that the kid surnamed Wei has lived in the post house. Hum! I didn't expect him to dare to come to Jianye single-handedly, isn't the surname Wei afraid that someone will assassinate him? In this Jianye City, there are many people who don't like him. ”

Speaking of this, Qian Feng frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "The king is really allowed to bring three hundred guards into the city, how big an official is he?" What qualifications do you have to bring 300 guards? ”

"Shiyi, don't say that!" The corners of Wang Dun's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm and said: "Liu Kun was appointed as the chief of the imperial court to guard the big place of Jinyang, and Wei Shuo should have been promoted to one of the three dukes according to his military exploits, but it is a pity that no one in the court spoke for him." If it weren't for the last time I relied on Xiangrui Bailu to be promoted to a level. I'm afraid I'm still hanging the title of Taishou. ”

"General, isn't Wei Shuo the king's confidant and favorite general? Why didn't the king complain to the court? ”

"Henchmen? Hum! In the heart of the king. Except for Liu Kui, Diao Xie, Dai Yuan and a few other white-faced scholars who are powerless, which of the rest is regarded as a confidant by King Langya? King Langya is a person who is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, and he is very protective against generals like Zu Ti, Su Jun, Tao Kan, Wei Shuo and General Ben. ”

"Humph! That is to say, pedantic people like Tao Kan and Zu Ti will only know how to be loyal to the monarch and protect the country, but do not know how to operate and consolidate. Su Jun is ambitious. He also knows how to meet the source left and right, and he is not worried about being ambitious. ”

"Only Wei Shuo, who has just entered Jianye City, has scheming methods far beyond ordinary people, and those who subvert the Jin dynasty in the future must be this person!"

Qian Feng didn't expect Wang Dun to have such a high opinion of Wei Shuo. He glanced at Wang Dun cautiously and suggested, "Since the general is so jealous of the surnamed Wei, it is better to find an opportunity to get rid of him!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Dun glanced at Qian Feng, and snorted disdainfully in his nose: "In order to protect Wei Shuo's safety in Jianye, the king sent a hundred palace guards to protect his safety, but he didn't know that this little bit of people was not enough for the family. Let's not act rashly, some people are more anxious than us. ”

……

Jiangnan has been a place of outstanding people since ancient times, especially in Wu County, where talents are the most prosperous, and the four major families of Wu County: Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang, have been in charge of Jiangdong Niuer since the end of the Han Dynasty. When Sima Rui had just crossed the river, in order to gain a foothold in Jiangzuo, he had to apply a gentle policy to the four families, first recruiting Gu Rong to accompany the military counselor, and then Gu Rong died and replaced him with Lu Ye.

The four great families of Wu County are all scholars and eunuchs, each of whom is powerful and powerful, rich and wealthy, and constantly marries each other, and their forces are intertwined, secretly controlling Jiangzuo's economic power.

I thought that I could live so comfortably all the time, but some time ago, Liaodong's issuance of new coins caused the Jiangzuo family to suffer huge losses. Now that the 'culprit' has come to their territory in a grand manner, the four families of Gu, Lu, Zhang, and Zhu have gathered together to conspire and keep conspiring, ready to teach Wei Shuo a lesson.

Although Lu Ye is fifty-two years old, he is very well maintained. His complexion was ruddy, his breath was long, and his three long beards were quite a bit of fairy wind and bones, and he greeted a few old friends all the way into the study.

Ji Zhan said hatefully: "Wei Shuo has already lived in the post house, and the king specially transferred a hundred palace guards to be responsible for the safety of the post house in order to protect him, if it weren't for the king's face, I really want to do it immediately!" ”

Ji Zhan is ten years older than Lu Ye, born in a family of eunuchs, and is one of the representatives of the Jiangnan Shi clan. Together with Gu Rong, He Xun, Min Hong, and Xue, they were called 'Five Jun', and during the Yongjia period, Ji Zhan and Gu Rong had a lot of credit in assisting Sima Rui, the king of Langyu, to gain a foothold in Jiangzuo.

"Humph! Didn't the king send palace guards to protect Wei Shuo because he was worried that something would happen to Wei Shuo in Jianye? Not to mention that the king sent a hundred palace guards, even if he sent a thousand palace guards? Is there anything we can't do in Jiangzuo? As long as we are willing, no one can save Wei Shuo's life! ”

Zhou Za is one of the only two generals in the Jiangdong clan who has heavy troops, and he sits in Shicheng to supervise the land and water military, and has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, so he naturally will not take a hundred palace guards in his eyes.

Gu Bi squinted his eyes and sneered: "That Wei Shuo has obviously been suspicious of the king, but due to the situation and external pressure, the king doesn't want him to have any mistakes in Jiangdong." It's better to find someone to meet with Wei Shuo first, as long as he is willing to sacrifice some of the skills mastered by the Laoshan Trading Company, we can ignore everything that happened before. ”

Zhou Za sneered: "Hmph! I think it's better to kill it directly! That Wei Shuo was not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, so he still killed it in order to prevent trouble. ”

……

King Langya watched Liu Kui and Diao Xie walk in and asked, "Is Wei Tingshi's residence arranged?" ”

Liu Kui and Diao Xie stepped forward and replied: "Back to the king, according to the king's orders, the ministers have arranged for Lord Wei to live temporarily in the post house, and there are another hundred palace guards who are responsible for the security of the post house. ”

"Hmm!" King Langya snorted softly, making people confused about his thoughts, and he didn't know how long it took before he asked again, "Did Lord Wei make any requests?" If it is not troublesome, you can try to meet it. ”

"King Qijuan, Lord Wei didn't make any special requests, only proposed to visit Pei's Mansion tomorrow."

"Pei Mansion? Oh, the widow almost forgot that Master Pei is the father-in-law of the Wei Thorn History! King Langya suddenly realized, but then he seemed to think of something, and frowned: "You didn't persuade him?" You must know that the current situation in Jiangzuo is complicated, and it is best for him to stay in the post house and not go out. ”

"The ministers naturally persuaded them, but Lord Wei insisted on going out!"

"Humph! In that case, let him go! ”

As Wei Shuo arrived in Jianye, the situation in the city became more and more delicate, and many people were secretly observing Wei Shuo and watching his every move. It's just that no one expected that after Wei Shuo arrived in Jianye, he would go to Pei's Mansion first. (To be continued.) )
