Chapter Thirty-Five: Duckweed in Troubled Times Drifts in the Wind

It's been another morning. It's still early in the morning.

Year after year, day after day, the great city of Shangluo has stood on the banks of the Luoshui for thousands of years. It has always been here, witnessing the rise and fall of many dynasties and the joys and sorrows of countless people. It has always been the center of Middle-earth, it has always been the heart of the dynasty.

As the saying goes: ancient fame and fortune are all in Upper Los Angeles.

Since the sixteenth year of the Later Shang Jianxing, Emperor Wu of Zhou has been entrenched in Xiliangzu for more than 20 years, and the entire northern convenience has hardly experienced any major wars. Even if there were some sporadic battles, most of them took place on the frontier, thousands of miles away from Shangluo, the core of Middle-earth.

A few years ago, Yang Jun was crusaded against and executed the king of Runan and the king of Chu, all of which were written on a piece of paper, and then dozens of monks died at most, and then the major events were decided. For these major events in the past few years, Shangluo people mentioned it not fearfully, but excitedly. The perennial peaceful and prosperous times, the perennial drunken gold fans, so that the people of Shangluo have long forgotten the horror of the war, but miss the excitement of the golden iron horse.

There will never be any secrets in Shangluo. The death of Emperor Fuyu spread completely in Shangluo as soon as possible. For this explosive news, almost all the people in Shangluo were arguing with each other with extremely high emotions.

Some people regret, some people are excited, some people are stunned, some people scold, some people are surprised, and some people are boasting about the ethereal gods. The various states of this world, which have been repeated countless times in Shangluo, are once again staged in Shangluo.

In this early morning, in this early morning when the sun has not yet appeared, countless early risers are busy with their work while continuing the topic that was not finished last night.

Guo Mo is one of the countless braggart people in Upper Los Angeles.

At this moment, he was standing on the high Shangluo city wall, with his back against the female wall, and he was not wearing armor, and the long knife he carried with him was loosely carried around his waist, arguing with a group of city gate soldiers who were also dressed in the same costume.

"Well, have you heard? One of my cousin's lieutenants was a fellow countryman in the palace. said that there was a person who was so good yesterday that he killed seven in and seven out in the palace, that is, the two princes and Zhang Gong were not able to defeat others. Tut-tut, such a character, but I don't know which Gaomen's predecessor is a master. A tall, lanky soldier boasted.

"Ahh What kind of characters are the two princes, as long as they make a move, good guys, it is said that the heavens and the earth are changed, and no one can resist it. Saying this, the strong man with a big waist and a round waist lowered his voice, and blocked half of his face with one hand and whispered, "Why can you kill that guy seven in and seven out? ”

"Then why don't you make a move?" The thin and tall man was purely hearsay, and when he heard that there was such an 'inside story', he immediately leaned over and said with a flattering smile, "Brother, don't sell it, hurry up and tell the brothers." ”

"I heard from one of my uncle's brothers, and it was absolutely true. The strong man looked like five big and three thick, but at this time he looked like a woman chewing her tongue behind her back, and said mysteriously, "That guy is actually Empress Jia's lover, who was broken by the tiger in the palace, so he had to be killed out of the palace." What kind of identity did the three princes of the imperial court have, how could they make a move on such a character? They are afraid of getting their hands dirty. ”

"Tut-tut," the tall thin man nicknamed Bamboo Pole heard this, his face was full of envy, "I don't know if that guy is handsome, or is it good to work? Why can't I meet those maids who have gone out of the palace to find young men without permission?"

When the strong man heard this, he slapped Hou San on the back of the head, and scolded with a smile: "With your body, don't fucking be squeezed dry! My brother said that the thing in the crotch of that guy looks like a donkey, and it is fierce." Otherwise, how could Empress Jia regard it as a treasure in the harem. ”

"Brother, don't look at me thin. Hou San straightened his hips unconvinced, made a few movements like a male dog in estrus, and said exaggeratedly, "Brother is talented in this aspect, but unfortunately, he didn't have the opportunity to enter the palace to serve the queen." Dog's day, that guy is really a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes, and he can fuck the queen mother. If I, Hou San, can it once, it will die immediately, and then I am willing. ”

Guo Mo had been standing aside with a smile and listening to these lazy men bragging, but when he heard Hou San's words, his face finally changed, he stepped over, raised his hand to Hou San is slap hard, and scolded in his mouth: "You are a murderer who has been killed by a thousand knives, this is also what you can say." You yourself seek death, and don't hold us by the means. If you can't control your stinky mouth, Lao Tzu will use a military stick to manage it. ”

When Hou San saw that it was Guo Mo, he quickly put on a flattering smile, and slapped himself lightly with his hand, "Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, can't I be wrong." Brother, you don't know me yet, and you get into trouble every day with this stinky mouth. I tried to control it, but it wouldn't listen to me. ”

Guo Mo saw his lazy appearance, and couldn't help kicking him again, and scolded with a smile: "If you want to be poor for a while, go and check whether everything is available everywhere." ”

"Guo Tou, in these peaceful years, we are in Shangluo again, where will there be anything, it is not the same whether it is inspected or not?"

Guo Mo's eyes widened, and his right hand suddenly pressed on the handle of the knife on his waist: "Why, don't you obey the military order? Is it true that the knife in Lao Tzu's hand is vegetarian?"

Hou San saw that the other party was serious, so he hurriedly put his feet together and responded loudly: "Order!" turned around, babbling and walking away.

This Guo Mo is from a poor family and is from Hongnong County. Since he was a child, his physique was different from ordinary people, and the effect of refining his body far exceeded that of others, and soon he became a five-grade cultivator, and his reputation began to be known to everyone. After the death of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Taifu Yang Jun monopolized power. This Yang Jun is also a Hongnong person, and it was the time to employ people at that time. A fellow villager recommended Guo Mo to Yang Jun, and after Yang Jun tried it, he suddenly felt that this person was not only extremely profound in cultivation, but also the first when it came to military affairs. Because he was a fellow villager, Yang Jun asked Guo Mo to follow him and became a cronie.

Before that, Guo Mo had only done anti-thief work in Huayin County, and he always felt that he had not been able to sell his skills to a princely house. At this time, he was appreciated by Yang Jun, the prince who leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he really wanted to give his life to this Yang Taifu. As Yang Jun's personal guard, although his cultivation is not the highest, he is extremely talented, and his strength is even better than that of some fourth-grade monks. What's more, he is proficient in swordsmanship, bold and careful, and full of discipline in doing things, and soon impressed a lot of personal guards, which made Yang Jun is amazed, and every time he told him that after this period of not very peaceful days, he would be released as a captain, let him go to follow the army to make meritorious contributions, and worship the marquis in the future.

Those days were the happiest days of Guo Mo's life, and the days when he was most motivated, and all kinds of beautiful dreams in the future seemed to be within reach as long as he stretched out his hand in those days.

But the good times didn't last long, and Yang Jun's monopoly on government was too taboo. Empress Jia keenly took advantage of Yang Jun's unpopularity, and secretly summoned Huangfu Liang, the king of Runan, to enter Beijing to kill Yang Jun.

Guo stood silently behind the female wall, looking at the white of the fish belly in the sky, and couldn't help but think of the night Yang Jun was killed.

"Master Taifu, there is a change outside. Guo Mo hurriedly broke into Yang Jun's fine pavilion and reported loudly: "There is a large group of people coming out of the Sima Gate in the palace and are rushing towards Taifu. ”

When everyone in the Jing Pavilion heard this, their faces changed greatly, and the Taifu Master Bo Zhuzhen asked anxiously, "How many people are there?"

In the night, the villain couldn't tell how many, there were about five or six hundred. ”

Zhu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, his expression suddenly became relaxed, and he turned his head to Yang Jun and said, "Ming Gong, the good ones don't come, and the ones who come are not good." These men will come by night, and they will do the unseemly deeds. From the point of view of our subordinates, no matter who they are here, we only need to kill this team with the power of thunder, and only those villains behind them will be afraid. ”

Zhu Zhen's words immediately aroused the echo of all the cabinet officials in the Taifu Mansion.

"Now there are more than 5,000 monks in our Taifu Mansion, as long as Taifu gives an order, I will go out and kill these rats who come at night. ”

"Taifu, give the order!"

"Duke Ming, don't worry about the legendary King Runan who came secretly. The king of Runan is army and horses are too strong, but most of his army and horses can't catch up with Shangluo immediately. If you take 10,000 steps back, it means that the king of Runan has secretly brought a lot of monks into the city, as long as the Taifu gives an order, I will immediately go to the outside of the city to transfer the army into the city. It was he who brought more monks from the king of Runan, and when the army entered the city, it was just a moth throwing fire and destroying itself. Zhu Zhen continued to persuade on the side.

"It's not like this!" Yang Jun looked hesitant and embarrassed, "This team of military horses may not be coming for our Taifu Mansion." ”

"Ming Gong, you are confused. Zhu Zhen said anxiously: "We are now in control of the government, and any movement of horses in Shangluo City will have to pass through our Taifu Mansion." Tonight, this team of people and horses has definitely not passed through our Taifu Mansion, and the world will be a demon if things are abnormal. It must be coming for us. ”

"But who is going to harm me Yang Jun?" Yang Jun looked puzzled, "I, Yang Jun, was edicted by the first emperor, and I did my best for the court and this Great Jin, and I didn't seek any personal interests for our Yang family." Which villain is slandering me and trying to harm me?"

"Ming Gong, this is all burning eyebrows. Just crush the group of men and horses outside, grab a few live mouths, and ask carefully. ”

Just when Yang Jun was undecided, he heard the noise outside.

"Lord Taifu, a team of people has surrounded my Taifu Mansion, saying that it is ......"

"Say what, hurry up. ”

"Yes. The guard who came in said with a panicked face: "They said that they came to arrest Master Taifu by edict." ”

"What? Coming here?" Yang Jun's face changed greatly when he heard this, and the whole person was stunned for a moment.

"Hmmm. With a bang, Guo Mo, who had been standing at the door, suddenly pulled out the long knife on his waist and said loudly: "Master Taifu, don't panic, a group of young people are afraid of what he will do." Guo is not talented, and he is willing to lead a team of men and horses to kill the generals, and he must protect Taifu Zhouquan. ”

After Guo Mo finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, Yang Jun shouted: "Guo Mo, stop!"

Guo Mo looked back in amazement and looked at Yang Jun with a puzzled expression.

"Where are you trying to force me to?" Yang Jun shouted bitterly, "I, Yang Jun, have a loyal heart to the Great Jin, and I am not afraid of anyone when I come to the front of His Majesty." You can't fight each other with swords, this matter will cause people to die, and it will be difficult to clean up. ”

"Ming Gong!" Zhu Zhen knelt in front of Yang Jun with a pout, "Ming Gong, you are confused! At this time, how can the other party still let Taifu you see Your Majesty?"

"Guo Mo," Zhu Zhen knelt there and looked back at Guo Mo, and said viciously, "Immediately gather the people in the mansion to kill the generals, and say that Taifu has an order, and there are people outside who rebel." Whoever kills a person will come to see him with his head, and the Taifu will be rewarded. ”

"Hey. Guo Mo, who was standing behind the female wall, sighed softly, and said silently in his heart: "It would be great if I didn't care about killing it that day." ”

Just as he sighed, suddenly, Guo Mo's pupils contracted suddenly, and he saw a black line appear in the distance where heaven and earth meet, and this black line became longer and thicker.

"Fuck!" Guo Mo scolded fiercely at the black line, and then shouted in the loudest voice: "Blow the horn and close the city gate!"

All of a sudden, the sound of a majestic trumpet spread between the gates.

All of a sudden, the people under the city walls were running around. Miscellaneous debris is scattered everywhere.
