The entire southern area of Longcheng has been completely occupied by the deposed prince Yu Hong, and due to Yu Hong's old general Feng Beizhi's rebellion, Hao Changge's beggar army was able to easily break into the city. At the same time, with the help of Feng Beizhi, all the members of the beggar army changed into the clothes and armor of the Qianniu guards, and the generals of the Qianniu Guards in several other defense areas didn't even know that the defense area in the south of the city had been quietly lost.

Wuhou Mansion in the western suburbs of Longcheng, Hong Chengqi stayed quietly in the study and tasted the imperial tea, and the room was lit with spices from the surrounding small countries to the emperor, which was said to be fishermen from the vast sea and smelled very good.

"Tuk tuk tuk!" was a rhythmic knock on the door of the study.

A flash of joy flashed in Hong Chengqi's eyes, and he immediately got up and walked to the door and asked, "But Xiaorui?"

A man from behind the door replied in a low voice: "Master, it's me." ”

Hong Chengqi hurriedly opened the door, and behind the door was a dusty young man.

"Come in!" Hong Chengqi grabbed the man's arm and welcomed him into the house, and personally poured him a cup of tea.

The man took a cup of tea, drank it all, wiped his mouth, and said, "Master, I have done what you ordered." ”

He took out a brocade box from the package on his back and handed it to Hong Chengqi: "This is the scroll of the book saint!"

"Okay, good!" Hong Chengqi praised repeatedly, he took the brocade box with both hands and solemnly placed it on the bookcase, and also took a silk handkerchief and wiped his hands repeatedly before opening the brocade box.

A picture scroll in the box was lying quietly inside, Hong Chengqi took it out and laid it out with excitement, and carefully tasted this "Red Sun Picture of Rivers and Mountains" that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Hong Rui pressed her temples and sat aside, and only the sound of the two of them breathing could be heard in the room. After a long time, Hong Chengqi raised his head, rubbed his slightly swollen eyes, and sighed sincerely: "This Dongfang is really worthy of a generation of legends, and with this naked eye, he can see through the heavens." ”

Hong Rui on his side scratched his head when he heard this, he didn't understand why the master praised Dongfang Yikong's unique vision, since this person is known as a book saint, he should be a painter.

"Xiao Rui, this time you have made a great contribution to the Hong family!" Hong Chengqi's face was full of approving smiles: "For the sake of this picture, I have to expose your identity as a painstaking business in the Inner Mansion for many years, and from now on you will stay in the Hou Mansion as the deputy of the guard! ”

Hearing this, Hong Rui hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times: "The little one who was able to survive because his parents died when he was a child, and he was taken in by the master, and he had already made a poisonous oath in his heart, and he was willing to go to the soup for the Hong family and die without giving up! Everything he did was within his own bounds, and he didn't need to be rewarded." ”

"Silly boy!" Hong Chengqi was a little moved when he heard this, and bent down to help him up, Wen Yan said: "You have traveled a long distance and worked hard, go down and rest early!

Hong Rui's eyes were slightly red, and she kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, master." With that, he got up and left.

Hong Chengqi was the only one left in the study, he stroked the scroll and muttered with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth: "One empty work is in Ningdu Jiyang, which city in Ningdu Prefecture does this Jiyang refer to? Some towns have changed their names several times over the centuries, and they have to spend a lot of effort to find them." ”

He stroked his beard under his chin, and a bold idea suddenly sprouted in his heart: "Now that the government is rotten, the situation is extremely unfavorable to me, when it is the best time to resign and leave, it is better to take this opportunity to go to Ningdu Mansion to find out." ”

In the big tent of the military camp at the south gate of Longcheng, the abolished prince Yu Hong and Fang Yu and a large group of core generals gathered together, and all the soldiers of the begging army outside the military tent were ready to go.

Yu Hong looked at Fang Yu, who was gently shaking the feather fan, and asked cautiously, "Lord Shenjun, what should we do next?"

Fang Yu's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened: "Your Majesty, according to the law of the Great Liang, after the first emperor's funeral, the civil and military officials can return to the yamen dormitory to stay and fast?"

Except for the members of the royal family and those with titles, who were allowed to go home to fast, the rest of the officials went to their own yamen or the royal post house to fast and stay. ”

"That's going to be better!" Fang Yu high-fived and smiled: "All the officials get together, we can just catch them all!"

Yu Hong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up: "Lord Shenjun, will this move be too aggressive? There are still nearly 10,000 troops in the city, and in addition to this, there is also the Sect of Wisdom." ”

"Haha! Your Majesty, relax!" Fang Yu patted Yu Hong's arm and motioned for him to sit down: "We will organize a manpower operation tonight, and now we will take down these officials in one fell swoop, and force them to support Your Majesty's succession, so as to take the advantage." ”

"Then what if they don't cooperate?" Yu Hong asked worriedly.

"Those who don't cooperate will all be killed and reciprocated!" Fang Yu's eyes flashed fiercely: "Daliang has so many people, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a few officials?" Sen Han's tone shocked the people present couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs.

"Your Majesty, without further ado, let's act at the right time. ”

"It's all up to Lord Shenjun!" Yu Hong got up again and shook Fang Yu respectfully to the ground, who nodded and accepted his salute.

"Duan Yu, you lead the six gods of the upper nine palaces and the nine gods of the lower nine palaces to the Central Mansion and take down all those officials for me. ”

"Obey!" A sturdy bald man responded to the call, respectfully took a list from Fang Yu's hand, and swept it away, there were hundreds of people on the list.

"As for these scattered officials of the Royal Post House, they will be handed over to the Middle Nine Palaces to deal with!" Fang Yu glanced at the generals under his command: "The first and second gods of the Middle Nine Palaces will make other arrangements for me, and this time the operation will be handed over to the third god general Wu Wei to command, and the seven of you must act in unison in order to achieve a quick victory." ”

When Wu Wei heard this, he hurriedly went out to receive the order, took the paper with a large list of loose officials written on it, and threw the six gods of the Middle Nine Palaces into the night.

"Where is the long song!" Fang Yu said gently.

Hao Changge, who was dressed in ordinary robes, knelt down on one knee when he heard this: "What do you command, Lord Sovereign?" This time, he unexpectedly took off the black armor he was wearing, and he didn't even wear a mask, only a pair of black gloves.

Fang Yu looked at Hao Changge, his eyes were a little complicated, he paused for a moment and then ordered: "Changge, your task is the heaviest!"

Hao Changge's eyes were as calm as water, and there was no change in the slightest: "The Lord Monarch just commands!"

"I want you to lead the people of the headquarters to attack the main altar of the Weiwu Sect for me!" As soon as Fang Yu's words fell, a gasp of cold air could not help but sound in the big tent. The Weiwu Sect is the state religion of the Great Liang, but it is a behemoth that claims to have 3,000 grandmasters.

Everyone looked at Hao Changge's gaze and couldn't help but be a little gloating, as if they had concluded that he must be dead or alive.

Hao Changge's brows jumped slightly, the light of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't see any fear, he raised his head and glanced at Fang Yu deeply, and then kowtowed three times, and said in a firm tone: "My subordinates must live up to the trust of the lord!"

Fang Yu sighed lightly and waved his hand: "Go, go, go!"

As Fang Yu gave orders one after another, the military forces in the entire southern area of Dragon City took action, and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder resounded throughout the night sky for a while.
