"Grandpa, something happened!"

On the Zheng family's Zhuangzi on the outskirts of New Chang'an, Zheng Yichen trotted all the way to the backyard and said to Zheng Mubai in a panic.

Zheng Mubai, who was over eighty years old, sat on the Taishi chair and gently shook the fan, and the few silver threads on his head jumped with the breeze very funny.

Hearing Zheng Yichen's words, Zheng Mubai didn't show any panic, raised his eyelids and said, "Those people in the Cui family finally made a move?" ”

Zheng Yichen nodded: "Let's do it, the steward we sent to the medicine garden was killed, and the garrison is gone, it seems that they are fully prepared, and the incident is just around the corner." ”

"Good!"

Zheng Mubai jumped up from the chair with a "pout", and no one believed him when he said that he was a young man in his twenties.

"My Zheng family has been waiting for so many years, and the opportunity has finally come!"

Zheng Mubai roared excitedly, grabbed Zheng Yichen's wrist and said, "Let you go and deal with Xu Rui in the past few days, can you get results?" ”

Zheng Yichen nodded and said: "Yes, my grandson just came back from Gonghe Mansion, and I have met Xu Rui secretly in the past few days, and I told him that as long as he can ensure our interests in Xichuan, Sun Er will give him a trump card that is enough to bring down the Cui family!" ”

"What did he say?"

Zheng Mubai asked in a deep voice.

Zheng Yichen said: "He seems to be very interested in bringing down the Cui family, and promises that as long as we don't touch his business, he doesn't care who is in charge of Xichuan." ”

"Oh?"

Zheng Mubai was slightly stunned, and a deep groan appeared on his face.

"So he seems to have made up his mind to change the status quo in Xichuan, it is said that he wants to succeed in Xichuan, the first choice is the strongest Cui family, although there is a farce of Cui Lingwen's loser, but the Cui family is polite to him, why would he agree so simply?"

Zheng Yichen shook his head: "Sun Er also thought about it, but there is no answer, as far as Sun Er knows, he has been in close contact with the Lu family in the past few days, but he does not have any intersection with the Cui family." ”

"In this way, this young man Qin knows more than we imagined, in the end, he is in a high position at a young age, and it is really not easy to get along."

Saying that, Zheng Mubai laughed and said: "It's better, the old man is afraid that he will be killed by the Cui family all of a sudden, and now he can just let him take the lead for us."

In this way, you immediately set off to Gonghe Mansion and revealed to him the news that the Cui family was about to rebel, saying that the Zheng family would fully cooperate with him to exterminate the rebels, and let him mobilize troops from nearby provinces into Xichuan as soon as possible to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop. ”

Zheng Yichen was stunned: "Grandpa, the Cui family's rebellion is not a trivial matter, can Xu Rui, who has empty words and white teeth, believe me?" ”

Zheng Mubai smiled secretly: "Don't worry, as soon as you walk on the front foot, the old man will immediately activate the chess pieces that we have buried in the Cui family over the years, the Cui family has raised a large number of dead soldiers, and the matter of hoarding armor and sword soldiers will definitely not be hidden, and the evidence he wants will be obtained soon." ”

Zheng Yichen nodded, but he was still a little uneasy and said: "Grandpa, I'm afraid the Cui family is menacing, I am afraid that we will not guard against us, do you want to take out the people and horses we hid, so as to protect the family from causing any trouble." ”

Zheng Mubai shook his head with a smile and said: "It's too early to show the hole cards now, maybe it will startle the snake, so that the Cui family can be on guard, you can rest assured, although the Cui family is powerful, but in order to rebel, they must try to win the support of all forces, at this time they will not be unfavorable to us, and even have to beg us, you just have to do your own business, the overall situation is presided over by the old man." ”

"Yes, then grandson will go to Xu Rui now!"

Zheng Yichen finally put his mind at ease and promised to go out.

"Master, master, no, no, no!"

At this moment, the wizened old butler rushed into the backyard in a panic.

Zheng Mubai frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

The old housekeeper said: "At the door of Zhuangzi, people from the Cui family came to the door, and they beat people when they saw them!" ”

"What?"

Zheng Yichen's face changed, and he subconsciously looked at Zheng Mubai, Zheng Mubai was also surprised, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is the leader, did they say why this is the case?" ”

The old housekeeper shook his head: "The leader is a junior of the Cui family, the old slave has not seen it, they don't say a word, they will beat people when they see them, the old slave really doesn't know why." ”

Looking at the old housekeeper with a bitter face, Zheng Mubai's heart suddenly became angry, and at the same time, he also smelled a trace of unusual meaning.

"Call someone and go out and have a look!"

He let out a low snort, and when he walked out first, Zheng Yichen was shocked, and hurriedly went to help, but was bounced away by his grandfather.

The old housekeeper was really angry when he saw that he had taken the initiative, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he hurriedly went to call someone.

At the door of Zhuangzi, more than a dozen sturdy men were beating a few members of the Zheng family, and there were already more than a dozen people lying on the ground, all of whom were first-class tenants of the Zheng family.

When several young people of the Zheng family heard about this, they rushed over with firewood knives, but behind the Cui family, who was beating people, there were still twenty or thirty heavily armed guards.

With a "snap", a tenant of the Zheng family was thrown out by three or four men with their hands and feet, and smashed heavily on the stone mill, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and could not get up again.

"Tut, it's also a family with the same name as my Cui family, it turns out that it's so bloodless, watching my family being beaten, no one dares to help."

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy sat on a specially brought recliner and watched the thugs commit violence playfully, commenting from time to time in a very contemptuous tone.

The Zheng family was trembling with anger, and they couldn't care about the fact that there were many Cui families at this time, so they picked up the firewood knife in their hands and were about to go up and fight hard.

"Stop!"

At this moment, Zheng Mubai finally arrived, followed by dozens of strong nursing homes, each holding a bright long knife.

"The head of the house is here, the head of the house is here!"

As soon as they saw Zheng Mubai coming, the Zheng family suddenly gained confidence, and they grabbed their weapons and viciously surrounded the Cui family.

"Oh, it turned out that Grandpa Zheng had arrived."

The young master sitting on the chair was not surprised, he just stood up from the chair and arched his hand to Zheng Mubai casually: "Cui Lingshen has seen the grandfather of the Zheng family. ”

"The eldest of the Cui family, why did you come to my Zheng family to make trouble?!"

Zheng Mubai glanced at the young man a few times, and asked slowly, although his tone was flat, his momentum was not angry and arrogant, and he was aggressive.

However, the young man didn't seem to be moved at all, glanced at Zheng Mubai with slanted eyes, and chuckled: "Grandpa Zheng is an elder, and it's not the turn of the younger generation to explain to you, so let someone who can talk to you come and talk to you." ”

"Someone who can speak?"

Zheng Mubai frowned, and was about to drink the young man, but a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.

"Brother Zheng is so irritable, what's the point of competing with a junior?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Cui family parted to both sides, and an old man walked out of the carriage behind them, who turned out to be the ninety-year-old head of the Cui family, Cui Huanchen.

"It's you?!"

As the so-called king does not see the king, it is not a good thing for the head of the Cui family to appear at this time, the moment he saw Cui Huanchen, Zheng Mubai's heart suddenly jumped, and an ominous premonition arose.

Sure enough, at the same time that Cui Huanchen appeared, the sound of "rumbling" horse hooves suddenly sounded all around, and hundreds of cavalry outflanked from both sides, which turned out to be real officers and soldiers!

"How is that possible?!"

Zheng Mubai's pupils shrank as he looked at these cavalrymen, and he trembled in shock.

Cui Huanchen slowly walked up to Zheng Mubai with Cui Lingshen's support, and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, are you surprised why the chess pieces you arranged in the Cui family didn't tell you the news of the old man's transfer in advance?" ”

Zheng Mubai's face changed: "You have already discovered those people?" ”

Cui Huanchen laughed and said: "I also played chess pieces in Zheng's house, of course I have to prevent you from coming to this hand, we are really heroes who see the same, but now it seems that the old man is still a master of the tricks." ”

"You also played chess pieces in Zheng Jiabu?!"

Zheng Mubai was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously looked back, only to see several Zheng family members behind him bowing their heads in shame, not daring to look at him.

What shocked him even more was that among these people there were also his absolute henchmen, the old butler who had been with him for more than 30 years!

Zheng Mubai's face changed, but at this time, he suddenly remembered something, and he was shocked, and exclaimed: "I understand, today's incident is your trajectory, you want to deliberately cause trouble and deceive me!" ”

Cui Huanchen nodded with a smile: "Your Zhuangzi is like a fortress, it is not easy to attack it, but if you are lured out and capture the thief and the king, it will be much simpler, as long as you die, the Zheng family will have no leader, and it will not be a plate of scattered sand." ”

"It turns out that you have long made up your mind to exterminate my Zheng family, but don't forget, Xichuan also has a share of my Zheng family, without the support of the Zheng family, you will not be far from defeat!"

Zheng Mubai calmed down and said coldly.

Cui Huanchen's face did not change in the slightest, he still chuckled, and said lightly: "Brother Zheng is right, if it is my Cui family alone, I really don't have the confidence to kill you, but now, your Zheng family is useless." ”

Zheng Mubai frowned: "You found other foreign aid?" Hmph, it's nothing more than those Xiliang people who help you smuggle, but the Zheng family has spread for thousands of years, although you were caught off guard, but it's not something you can kill if you say it, Yichen, kill him! ”

At present, Cui Huanchen is only two steps away from Zheng Mubai, as long as he can kill him, the Cui family will be in chaos before the Zheng family, which is the easiest and most direct way for the Zheng family to break the situation.

What's more, no one knows that Zheng Yichen has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is not far from a first-class master, although Cui Huanchen has many guards around him, as long as he shoots fast enough and suddenly enough, those guards will not have time to stop him, this is Zheng Mubai's last hole card.

"Yes!"

Zheng Yichen nodded, and with a flick of the fingers of his right hand, a dagger the size of a palm appeared in his hand.

"Come on!"

In an instant, under the stunned gaze of everyone, Zheng Yichen roared, the dagger was as fast as lightning, drawing a cold light in the air, and piercing straight into the heart impartially, and the eyes present were even more shocked when they saw this scene.

"You ......"

Cui Huanchen was still smiling, but Zheng Mubai looked at the dagger inserted in his heart with a shocked face, his eyes widened.

That's right, Zheng Yichen did kill someone at this moment, but he didn't kill Cui Huanchen, but his grandfather Zheng Mubai.

"For ...... Why ......"

Zheng Mubai grabbed Zheng Yichen's sleeve and slashed it to the ground little by little, with both shock and panic in his eyes, but more unwilling.

Zheng Yichen withdrew his hand expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, don't blame me, your set won't work at all, the Cui family's foreign aid is too strong."

But don't worry, Grandpa Cui promised me that as soon as you die, I will be the head of the Zheng family, and my daughter will be the future queen of the Han Dynasty, and let my grandson complete the great cause of family revival for you. ”

"You...... You ...... Idiot! ”

Zheng Mubai fell to the ground, blood kept pouring out of his chest, spit out the last few words viciously, and finally swallowed his last breath.

"Brother Zheng, please forgive me for offending a lot, now that we have become people in the same boat, we will rely on you a lot in the future!"

Cui Lingshen walked over with a smile and bowed his hand to Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yichen closed his dead eyelids for his grandfather, raised his head expressionlessly, and didn't look at Cui Lingshen, but just glanced at the Zheng family who were still in shock, and slowly spoke.

"Now I will lead the Zheng family to new glory, and whoever disagrees with me can stand up!"

Everyone in the Zheng family looked at each other, and lowered their heads in horror, only a few slightly bloody elders turned their heads and ran, Zheng Yichen didn't say a word, picked up a steel knife and came in an instant, killing these people one by one.

"Hahahaha!"

At this moment, Cui Huanchen looked at Zheng Yichen, who was covered in blood, and his smug laughter resounded all over the earth.

A hundred miles away, the three pro-armies of King Wuling had already been completed, and Zhong Qingyuan sat on a tall horse and stood proudly in front of the three armies.

A man wrapped in a black cloak, led by a soldier, hurried up to him and removed the hood from his head with both hands.

"The Cui family in Xichuan has been waiting for the general for a long time, and the first gift given to the general on behalf of the Cui family is the capital of Xichuan, the new Chang'an!"

Saying that, the man raised his head and showed an evil smile, it was the fourth generation of the Cui family who was played with by Xu Rui on Wanfu Tower, Cui Lingwen!
