Ling Han has arrived, the freezing wind is thousands of miles, and people are reluctant to travel. The northern region was particularly cold, and Rouran experienced civil strife, livestock withered, and food for the winter had to rely on plundering the surrounding tribes, and even began to harass the junction of Liangzhou and the western high-speed car. Gaoche King Yi was angry and crusaded against Rouran, and the war broke out again in the north, and the people of Rouran suffered heavy casualties, and began to have internal riots, and the soldiers fled from time to time, and they had no intention of defending the city.

Empress Dowager Hu and Yuan Yong agreed, while Yuan Yong sent Huaishuo to guard Yang Junchi to aid Rouran, but instructed him not to rush to recover Rouran's lost territory, to wait for work, after all, after the successive battles, the Northern Wei soldiers also lost most of them, so try to avoid casualties. At the same time, it will unite with the Ibu of the Gaoche country and attack Rouran from the west, forming a flanking attack. Soon the Brahmins were defeated by the high chariots, and the Brahmins led ten tribes to Liangzhou and asked for surrender. After the situation of Rouran has been decided, Empress Dowager Hu privately asked Yuan Yong to admonish Yuan Xu, although the two masters of Rouran surrendered one after another, but the worm beast nature is difficult to get rid of, and he has never been a trustworthy person. And in order to show the demeanor of a great country and contain the Gaoche country, it is better to use the flat and fertile Turuoxi Spring in the north of Huaishuo as the resettlement place of Anapu, and the subservient Brahmin tribe to be placed in Xihai County, and order them to lead their own tribes to collect the scattered people, and all the Rouran people who had defected to Wei before were returned to Anapu. In this way, it not only took care of Anapu, but also gave Yuan Xu the opportunity to make his own decisions, and the implementation of this policy made the people who did not know the truth applaud Chen Song for Yuan Xu's Ming government, and the four seas surrendered.

Yuan Xu saw that after the Empress Dowager Hu lifted the ban, not only did he not shake his position, but handed everything over to him to solve independently, and gradually lost his previous hostility towards the Empress Dowager Hu, and occasionally came to Xuanguang Hall to accompany the Empress Dowager for dinner. It's just that if she is transparent to Ying'e, she doesn't even have a look, as if she has forgotten, Pan Wailian's favor is still the same, because of the easing of the relationship between mother and son, Yuan Xu also began to stay at Hu Fanyi's place occasionally.

Er Zhurong, who was in Yecheng, saw that his daughter's crisis had been resolved, so he recalled Er Zhuzhao and Murong Shaozong to Yecheng and began to plan for his ambitions. On the one hand, he sent Murong Shaozong to Gaoche to contact Yilu's younger brother Yueju, secretly provide him with weapons, and help train soldiers, and on the other hand, let Yueju constantly provoke conflicts between Gaoche and Rouran. In 522 A.D., Yi Lai was defeated in the Rouran army, and Yue Ju raised an army to kill Yi Rou and set himself up as the king on the grounds that the people of his poor army were not able to make a living, and after Yue Ju ascended the throne, he gradually began to welcome the Northern Wei Dynasty, spread rumors to the people and deepen the national hatred with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the later Du Luo Zhou uprising against the Wei was also rooted in this.

Seeing that the Northern Wei Dynasty gradually lost control of Gaoche, Er Zhurong ordered Er Zhu Shilong to go to the Brahmin territory of Xihai County to spread the remarks that Emperor Xiaoming wanted to support Anapu and kill him, and compared the differences between the two after the surrender, especially the recent incident that Anapu borrowed grain seeds from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Wei Dynasty actually gave 10,000 stones, which shows that Yuan Xu had the intention to cultivate Anapu. The more the Brahmin listened, the more frightened he became, and finally he couldn't help but lead the tribe to rebel against the Northern Wei Dynasty and flee to the Bada . At this time, Er Zhurong recommended to Yuan Yong that Fei Mu lead the troops to pursue, and at the same time secretly assisted him in an ambush in the valley, defeated the Brahmin in one fell swoop, and asked Fei Mu to personally escort the Brahmin to Luoyang.

Er Zhurong looked at Fei Mu's flying pigeon and smiled, he squinted in the direction of Luoyang, thinking about his next move, this time, he wanted to hit with one hit.

In the city of Luoyang in March 523 AD, the ice on the moat had not yet melted, but no one dared to walk on it, because through the ice it was clear that the fluctuations under the water were visible. The willows of the embankment only sprout a few new sprouts, faintly revealing green, delicate and swaying with the wind, attracting merchants from all over the city to and from Luoyang City, and the bustling convoy enters and exits the city gate, showing the prosperity of Luoyang City, and the trend of accepting all rivers.

However, it was mixed in this caravan, and a group of people hurried into the city and then stayed at the post station, unlike other merchants who walked around the market to see the market and see the specialties. The people at the head were Murong Shaozong and Er Zhu Zhao, I saw Murong Shaozong pick up two women from a carriage in the convoy, one was wearing red clothes and the other was wearing green clothes, although they were both light veils to cover their faces, but from the delicate and gentle graceful posture, the orchid breath sent by the breeze, I also knew that these two were peerless beauty.

Er Zhu Zhao salivated, staring at the two beauties intently, if it weren't for Murong Shaozong's presence, he would have pounced on these two beautiful girls and skinned them alive, even if it was just kissing and hugging and rubbing the oil, it was not as hot and uneasy as the cat scratching and dog biting now. Just as the two beauties passed by him, he finally couldn't help but put his hand on the waist of the woman in green and pinched it, the woman lifted the corner of the veil, revealing a pair of seductive apricot eyes, and sneered at Er Zhu Zhao charmingly, and called Er Zhu Zhao there for a long time without moving, and watched the woman into the room in a daze. I wanted to reach out and rub a handful of the oil of the woman in red, but the woman was not as enthusiastic as the woman in red, twisted her body, and flashed into the house without looking back.

Murong Shaozong couldn't see Er Zhu Zhao seeing a woman walking like this, so he coughed lightly and reminded, "Young General, don't forget the mission that the general sent us here, we still follow the original plan and act separately." In a while, someone will be sent to pick up the two girls. ”

Er Zhu Zhao retracted his mind depressedly, sniffed the residual fragrance of the woman in his hand, and was reluctant in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey Er Zhurong. Demented stared at the room for a moment, held the sword in his hand, and said to Murong Shaozong, "Urge, urge, fart, Lao Tzu knows, it won't delay things, go and arrange it now, and make sure that things are not delayed." After speaking, he reluctantly took his subordinate Qingwei out of the house, chattering and scolding along the way, "Follow him Murong Shaozong to find a beauty, damn, I don't even let Lao Tzu look at it, and I cover it like a zongzi, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu won't be able to eat it." It's still good in the green clothes, and it's good to understand the style when you look at it, those eyes, oops, Lao Tzu's soul is gone, and the red clothes are not good, they are all for men to touch, and she can't touch them. ”

Qingwei saw that his master was unhappy, so he said flatteringly, "Young General, the one in green clothes is called contouring, and the one in red clothes is called Yanzi, although my subordinates have never seen it in person, but I heard the people who served him say that his skin is really as white as snow, and it is extremely tender." The young general doesn't have to be angry, now it's just to borrow those two girls for a few days, and when our general sweeps Luoyang, his subordinates will be the first to rush into the Gaoyang Mansion to tie up these two women for you, strip them clean and send them to your bed. ”

Er Zhu Zhao heard this and was thinking about it, and slapped Qingwei on the back, "You kid understands me, Lao Tzu is waiting for that day, hahahahaha." ”

Murong Shaozong looked at the back of this master and servant, he knew what he could say, and listening to Er Zhu Zhao's wild laughter, he couldn't help but shake his head, but he didn't want to restrain himself. After all, Er Zhurong once said that Yu Er Zhuzhao's ability to control three thousand horsemen is the limit, and most of them are chaotic, so the use of him is all on the charge. He looked at the hour, it was already the end of the hour, according to the agreed time Xu Su should be almost there, he prepared tea and sat in the courtyard waiting.

However, in a quarter of an hour, Xu Su came in casual clothes, and after the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Xu Su said, "It has been a year since I parted with Brother Murong that day, and the stargazing emperor star has been dark recently, but the Northwest Timber Wolf Star has the trend of being the main one, I don't know what Brother Murong thinks." ”

Although Murong Shaozong and Xu Su have only a few face-to-face friends, they have similar temperaments with each other, and they also know that Xu Su studied under Zhao Hu, and the I Ching Bagua astrological divination is all refined, Xu Su is tempted, and Murong Shaozong is against his will to avoid, "Brother Xu, there are still high cars in the northwest realm, and there are more gentle waiting for opportunities to move, and the heart of rebellion always exists. It's a pity that Liu Tengyuan and his friends have not been suppressed, things are not up to the holy hearing, and the government is not in accordance with the rules, Brother Xu is now a guest of the Gaoyang Palace, and he has to change his name and surname, and he will change his appearance. This time, our general sent me and others to come, just to stabilize the heart of King Gaoyang, and jointly welcome the Queen Mother in the inner palace as soon as possible, and regain control of the world. The best at this contouring is the green water song, and the best at the beautiful posture is the fire phoenix dance, all of which are all top talents and colors, and they must be in harmony with the king of Gaoyang. Our general's thoughts about the Queen Mother, Brother Xu still doesn't understand? ”

Xu Su saw that what Murong Shaozong said was not leaky, and it was not good to dwell on it anymore, "I don't know what arrangements General Erzhu has for the killing of the rebels, and does he need Xu's cooperation?" ”

Murong Shaozong pointed to the way of heaven, "When it is daylight today, Liu Teng's favorite concubine will have a happy birthday, and she will definitely return home." Brother Xu still needs to enter the palace to find Fei Mu, so that he can find out when Liu Teng leaves the palace, and we will set up an ambush outside the city. ”

Xu Su nodded and agreed, "This is not difficult, Xu will take someone back to the house to restore his life first, and report to Brother Murong when he leaves the palace, without further ado, Xu will leave first." ”

Not to mention that Xu Su took these two beauties to Yuanyong Mansion to send them, but at three moments, Liu Teng set off from the palace gate at night, entered the city from Chengming Gate, and went west to the suburban courtyard through the Yongning Temple on Tongtuo Street, and the news that the guardian was the Praetorian Guard Yu Jin was passed to Murong Shaozong.

It was night that Murong Shaozong, who was dressed in black, and Er Zhu Zhao took two or three people to set up an ambush in Yongning Temple, so as to assassinate them with one blow, and then take advantage of the riot in Liu's mansion, and then Qingwei lurked in to find evidence of Liu Teng's crime, and Bai Cheng responded inside.

Yongning Temple is the first year of Xiping (516) Empress Dowager Hu built, the temple Zhuang ornament is gorgeous, the gold plate treasure Duo, the glow of the glow table. There is a tower called Yongning Temple Tower, the tower has nine floors high and 49 zhang, the magnificent and tall hundred miles away can be seen, the tower hangs the bell on each layer, all are made of pure gold, and the wind moves, the clear sound is Lingling, ten miles can be heard. Just after a moment, I saw Liu Teng's two godsons, Hu Xuandu and Hu Xiangxiang, riding horses, leading Liu Teng's carriage proudly, and guarding the Praetorian Guards led by Yu Jin.

Looking at Liu Tenghao's pompous pomp, Murong Shaozong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a eunuch has been so beautiful, and it can be regarded as enough for him in this life. They held their breath and waited anxiously for Liu Teng and his party to step into the pre-arranged trap, one hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters, Murong Shaozong calculated the distance in his heart. As he got closer to the trap, Murong Shaozong's hand holding the sword became harder and harder, and the hungry wolf's gaze from Er Zhu Zhao's eyes was as hungry as seeing his prey. With a sharp whistle, the people in ambush on both sides cut the camouflage laid by the big net, and a huge pit quickly appeared underground, Hu Xuandu and Hu Xiang didn't have time to react, they fell into the pit with the nearest guards who followed them, and the bamboo sword buried in the pit instantly pierced their bodies, and the last sound of these two thieves who framed Yuan Yi was a wail before death. Liu Teng's groom quickly reined in the horse when he saw this, Liu Teng was about to open the curtain and scold, but he only heard the swishing sound in the cold wind, he fixed his eyes and saw that his soul was scattered, countless cold arrows attacked, and the groom was killed by random arrows, so frightened that he quickly retracted his head and nested in the corner of the carriage, and roared loudly, "Yu Jin hurry up to guard." ”

But I heard Yu Jin say loudly, "Father-in-law Liu, I, Yu Jin, never protect the rebellious ministers and thieves, you ask for more blessings, Yu Jin said goodbye." The soldiers listened to the order, Liu Gonggong was attacked and killed, and I returned to the palace to ask for help as soon as possible. ”

Liu Teng shrank in the carriage and listened to the sound of the guards retreating, he panicked, hugged his head and trembled, he didn't know how long it took, and gradually the surroundings quieted down, and he could only hear the bell of the Yongning Temple Tower. He was about to poke his head out, but he was dragged out of the carriage and fell to the ground with great force, and he crawled on the ground like a turtle, and his back was slammed by one foot, and he snorted. "A good man spares his life, gold and silver treasures, a good house and a beautiful field, if you want an official position, you can give it to you, what you want, why do you need the life of the official."

Er Zhu Zhao stepped on Liu Teng, bent down, and tore off the black cloth on his face, "You are a thing that cuts off children and grandchildren, look at who Lao Tzu is, Lao Tzu is rare for those you give?" Why didn't you spare my uncle and my precious sister when you framed them? ”

Murong Shaozong controlled Er Zhu Zhao, who was about to hack Liu Teng to death, pushed him away, pulled Liu Teng up and put him against the tree, "Actually, our general didn't want Lord Liu's life, he just wanted Concubine Li's letter, Lord Liu will write to us, and we will send your lord home, after all, today is Mrs. Liu's birthday, and Mrs. Liu is waiting for her at home." ”

Liu Tenghu looked at Murong Shaozong suspiciously, "If this official gives you the letter, you will kill me immediately, I know what you want that letter for, I'm not that stupid." ”

Murong Shaozong's eyes gradually became less soft, he looked at Liu Teng coldly, pulled out the dagger and quickly cut off Liu Teng's ear, Er Zhu Zhao didn't expect it, and watched Murong Shaozong stuff the cut ear into Liu Teng's mouth in a daze, and said fiercely, "Don't say it, it's okay, Gonggong Liu has not eaten since he left the palace, I think he is hungry." From now on, I will ask you where the letter is, and if you don't say it, I will cut something on you, and you will have no problem feeding yourself with a full belly. I don't have much patience, where is the letter? ”

Liu Teng looked at Murong Shaozong's fire-breathing eyes with a bloody face, he didn't expect an elegant person to be so ruthless, he was afraid that this person would really torture himself to death, he held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked carefully, "If I tell me where the letter is, will the general let me go?" ”

In order to let him write the letter, Murong Shaozong pointed to the moon in the sky and swore an oath, "If I break my promise, after this year, the garlic will be gone, and death will be a turtle meal." ”

General Liu Teng said suspiciously, "The general remembers today's oath, if you harm my life, you feed me with my meat today, and if you sail on another day, you will be swallowed by the wind and water, and I will turn into fish and shrimp and eat your meat." ”

Murong Shaozong nodded firmly, "Okay, it's a word." Now you can say where is the epistle? ”

Liu Teng pointed to the crown of hair tied on his head, "How many people want to get such confidential letters, and it is safest to carry them with you." ”

Murong Shaozong glanced at Er Zhu Zhao, Er Zhu Zhao stepped forward in two steps, took off his crown, and found Concubine Li's letter at the brim of the crown, Murong Shaozong took the verification, let go of Liu Teng, and whispered in a low voice, "I won't kill you, but if someone else kills you, I can't stop it." He smiled and walked away.

Liu Teng scolded him for his dishonesty, "Murong Shaozong, you don't believe in your words." I..."

Before he finished speaking, his throat was sealed by Er Zhu Zhao's sword, and suddenly blood spurted out of his throat, Liu Teng covered his neck, spitting blood foam in his mouth, and couldn't say the complete words, he stared at Murong Shaozong with hatred with his eyes open, and gradually died of exhaustion.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Er Zhuzhao said to Murong Shaozong, "According to what I thought, I should cut him with a thousand knives, this sword is too cheap for him." ”

Murong Shaozong said, "General Yu will come to collect his body in a while, and the report to the imperial court is that he was robbed by bandits, have you seen a thousand knives robbed and cut a person, hurry up and put all the belongings on the carriage, and we will withdraw." ”

Under the moonlight, Murong Shaozong and Er Zhuzhao led their men and drove the carriage to the east. Er Zhu Zhao sat next to Murong Shaozong, took off the wine bag he was carrying, took a few sips, and handed it to Murong Shaozong boldly, Murong Shaozong took it and drank it all, this was the first time they felt that they had not had fun drinking together, and they were ready to go back to the post station to get drunk.
