~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the sea ship heading to the Yu family, Ma Han finally understood the scales and half-claws from Zheng Gao's mouth, and deduced the true meaning of Gongsun Du's urgent summons.
In the first month of the second year of Xingping, a place called "Yanli" in Xiangping City, when the residents sacrificed to the shrine god, they found that a boulder flew into the sky here, about zhang Xu was high, and several people hugged each other. What's even more amazing is that there are three small stones standing on the foot under the boulder, and the direction and position are just right, as if they have eyes. It was a spectacle for a while, attracting countless men and women to come and worship.
Soon after, a rumor quietly spread in Xiangping City that the shape of this stone was similar to the crown of Emperor Xiaoxuan (Emperor Xuan of Han), and that the Yanli where the strange stone was located was the same as the name of Taishouzun's father (Gongsun Du's father's name Gongsun Yan), and that the shrine was a place to worship the god of the land, which indicated that Gongsun Taishou should tear the earth and seal the king.
This rumor spread more and more widely, and the more it spread, the more out of line, and finally it came to the mouth of Don't Drive Yangyi, and it turned out to be "Qishi Linshe, which is revealed by God, so that you should have a society; The stone is born with three legs, which is a metaphor to show that the king has three princes to assist ...... "Yunyun."
What is the attitude of Gongsun Du, with a low-level job like Zheng Gao, I don't know, he only heard from his colleagues that Yang Beijia once drunk and said, "Aren't I and Zhongping (Liu Yi) and Zhigao (Gongsun Mo) the three public evils?" β
Ma Han listened, he couldn't speak for a long time, and he hadn't seen him for more than a year, has Gongsun Du's ambition swelled to this point? Things seem to be very clear, Gongsun Du is going to use prophecy to build momentum for his own position! For this reason, an urgent order was issued in succession, summoning the county magistrates of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Lelang, Xuansu, and Yingzhou, as well as the lords of Karasuma and Xianbei from various departments, to gather in Xiangping, and he was about to announce his new identity.
What a strange stone and what a miracle for this piece. In the eyes of people like Ma Han, who are accustomed to seeing all kinds of tricks in later generations, it is just a clumsy trick directed and acted by some careerists. It is okay to deceive the foolish husband and foolish woman in the country, and it is not worth putting it in front of him.
In Chinese history, since the end of the Qin Dynasty, there have been countless people who have played this set. From Wu Guang's fox roar "Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng" to the end of the Yuan Dynasty, "the Yellow River stone man has one eye, this thing is out of the world". Stretching for more than 1,500 years, there is no new trick. Playing around is the set. Not to mention, the oldest is the most practical. This set just works.
Gongsun Du served as the Taishou of Liaodong for six years, connecting Yang, Liu, Jia and other families to pacify and suppress the surrounding Hu clans, suppress the local scholars, and use bloody means to plow the court and sweep the caves. broke more than 100 families, and swept away the opposition forces in the entire Liaodong. After that, without any restraints. Vigorously expand the army, fight on the sea, take Donglai in one fell swoop, and make him famous. Pushed to new highs.
Gongsun Du, like a master of cultivation, drew his sword and looked around. There is no opponent, and under the expansion of self-confidence, I want to put on a supreme high hat for myself.
After Zheng Gao finished speaking, he didn't forget to congratulate Ma Han, Tian Yu and others: "Congratulations to Duwei for going further." β
Well, that's right, if Gongsun Du really divides Liaodong and divides the land to become the king, all the county chiefs in his territory will rise, which is also the proper meaning of the question that attracts people's hearts.
Taking advantage of Zheng Gao's lack of attention, Tian Yu whispered: "This is very good, at this time, the king will definitely focus on appeasement, and the city guard will enter Xiangping without worry." β
Ma Han looked at the gradually clear coastline at the junction of the sea and the sky, and said slowly: "I hope it ...... so."
β¦β¦
On March 19, one day before the deadline required by Gongsun Du, Ma Han, Tian Yu, Zheng Gao and a group of dozens of horses finally appeared outside Xiangping City. At the last moment when the afterglow of the setting sun dissipated, dozens of fast horses rushed into the city gate that was about to close.
According to the pre-made arrangement, Ma Han and his entourage were placed in a demarcated area, where there were already officials of various counties and counties, as well as the chiefs of the surrounding Hu, and even the foreign (country) monarchs of such frontier places as Goguryeo, Samhan, Fuyu, and Sushen. This Gongsun Du is really hollow out, and the coverage of the invitation is really wide enough. Not to mention, it's really a bit of a pilgrimage from all over the world, at least even today, I haven't been able to enjoy the Hajj from so many neighboring countries and regions.
As soon as Ma Han and his party settled down, a visitor arrived. When Ma Han looked up and saw the comer, he couldn't help but be stunned, this guy is quite familiar, it seems to be ......
The visitor laughed: "Kun Botulu doesn't know the boy by the water? Don't forget that I owe a credit to this title. β
Ma Han slapped his big foot: "King Zuo Gu Li!" It's you! β
It has been two and a half years since the original meeting by the Raole waterside, and the boy who was only fifteen years old at the time has now grown to eighteen years old, and his entire image has changed significantly. The most obvious thing is that the clean round face back then, there is a pinch of mustache, and it suddenly looks much more mature, and even looks older than the horse. The reason why Ma Han got the Demon Pupil Bow enshrined by the Xianbei people, and because of this, he won the title of rebelling against the sky, Lou Ban did have the merit of introduction.
Ma Han and Lou Ban hugged each other and patted each other on the back, laughing.
Seeing Lou Ban, Ma Han naturally asked about Badun. Lou Ban replied meaningfully: "Brother Wang thinks that it is enough to have my representative. β
Ma Han comprehended and said: "In this way, at the May Dragon City Conference, King Zuogu Li is going to be replaced." β
Lou Ban thanked Ma Han heavily: "If it weren't for Brother Jinglong's help, this matter might not have been so smooth." β
Ma Han said: "I have been the king for a long time, and there must be a lot of people who support the troops, and the meeting of the Dragon City in May, I am afraid that it may not be simple, and the king of Zuogu Li needs help?" β
Lou Ban smiled, but politely refused: "Xiao Wang has already made a decision on this matter, and the two kings of Nanlou and Su Muyan have expressed their support. Although Wu Yan did not respond, this person was severely injured by the dragon in the past year, expelled from the lair, his vitality was greatly damaged, and the strength of the tribe could not be restored for several years, so it didn't matter. Speaking of which, Brother Jinglong has really helped Xiao Wang a lot. After the meeting in Dragon City in May, Xiao Wang will have a good reward...... Oh, at that time at the Dragon City Conference, Brother Shocking Dragon must be present to support Xiao Wang. β
Ma Han replied with a smile, and secretly said in his heart, this floor is not stupid, and he does not want to lure wolves into the room.
Just when Ma Han and Lou Ban called for a banquet and talked about their friendship after parting with each other, in the same area of the museum, less than a hundred steps away in a straight line, in front of the half-hidden window of a two-story building, a man in a green robe with broad shoulders and a tall and sturdy figure hid his figure behind the deep shadow of the window, leaned over slightly, and peeked at something with his hands.
After a long time, there was a gentle percussion sound behind him, and the percussion sound was very rhythmic, sometimes urgent and sometimes slow, and it was a secret signal when I heard it.
The green-robed man straightened up and said without replying, "Come in." The tone was very strange, as if he was speaking through a mask, and the buzzing voice was buzzing. It's not really easy to hear if you have a very good ear, or if you're close to someone who is used to hearing.
The door opened, and a man in Ge Yi with an ordinary appearance flashed in, bowed to the man in the green robe and said, "I have followed the master's instructions and sent all the information we have collected to the Taishou Mansion. β
Qingpao said: "Can you ensure that these materials are put on the case of Taishou?" β
The man in Ge Yi said: "The servant bribed him with ten gold, and he has patted his chest and promised." β
The green-robed man said slowly: "Do you know where the pigeons that often fly out of the backyard of the Taishou Mansion have found out?" β
"It has been found that it is a small courtyard in the south of the city, and there are six people in the courtyard. Master, do you want to ...... it?"
"No way!" The green-robed man stopped categorically, and his tone was stern, "Don't forget that person has already come, before he dies, you must not act rashly, otherwise it is very easy to set yourself on fire." We can only secretly add fuel to the fire and let Gongsun Du clean him up. β
"Yes, yes." The man in Ge Yi replied repeatedly, his voice carrying a hint of fear.
The man in the green robe muttered to himself: "Nail a big wedge into the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, and deliver the news with a flying pigeon, although it is far away in Liaoxi, but it knows everything about Xiangping in Liaodong...... What a clever means! Brave and scheming, it is indeed a difficult opponent that has never been seen before. However, since you have entered Xiangping City, hehe, then don't blame me for laying a net for you. β
As he spoke, the man in the green robe turned slowlyβit was a bronze masked man with only his eyes and nose and mouth covering his face.
