March 11, the vernal equinox.

Chen Guogong and Ningyuan general Hou Ping returned to Beijing in triumph and went to the Ziji Hall to receive the reward.

Emperor Xia Qi was overjoyed, and when he was about to reward him, Hou Ping said loudly: "Minister, there is another important matter to report, which is related to the fall of Yunzhou City!" ”

Emperor Xia Qi said in a deep voice: "Say! ”

The ministers of civil and military affairs all looked at Hou Ping quietly, waiting for his speech.

Yunzhou City is strong and indestructible, although when Yu Ao led the demon army to besiege the city, the number of guards in Yunzhou City was far greater than that of the demon battle, but first, Yunzhou City occupied a favorable location, and secondly, Gu Qingqiu, as a master of the art of war, has always had good skills in defending the city, and third, there was enough food and grass in the city, which was enough for the soldiers and civilians to eat for two or three months.

However, when the demon clan attacked the city, Yunzhou City was easily broken.

The princes of the court were already keenly aware of something unusual.

Zuo Governor Yushi Zhang Hua quietly straightened his waist.

Hou Ping said: "Before Yunzhou City was broken, the minister escorted the students of Guozijian and Taixue Mansion into Yunzhou City, but unexpectedly, as soon as they entered Yunzhou City, they were attacked by the demon clan who had been in ambush for a long time! The demon clan and the evil way teamed up, dispatched a number of five products, two four products, the minister commanded the soldiers, and fought hard to kill the enemy, but the demon and the Tao actually kidnapped Jiang Han, the son of the Duke of Weiguo, and forced Pang Qingyun and Yin Lushan to dare not move, so as to take the hostages and escape, although the minister sent troops to pursue, but to no avail, but a few days later, Jiang Han returned to Yunzhou City safely......"

As Hou Ping spoke, the faces of the princes of the court and the central government had changed.

They actually knew about Jiang Han's abduction for a long time, and it was impossible for Pang Qingyun and Yin Lushan not to report to the imperial court when such a big thing happened.

It's just that how Jiang Han returned to Yunzhou City, they still don't know.

But at this time, hearing Hou Ping say this, some people already had a guess in their hearts.

Hou Ping will not talk about this for no reason, so this matter is bound to have a great deal to do with the loss of Yunzhou City later!

Some officials who are keen on political fighting have already smelled an unusual crisis at this moment, and their eyes looked at the place where Wei Guogong should have stood, but unfortunately, Wei Guogong went south to conquer Suluo and was not in the court.

Hou Ping continued: "...... Jiang Han's safe return was a joyful thing, and the minister wanted to ask how Jiang Han returned to Kyoto safely, but it couldn't be that the demon clan kept his promise and entertained him for a few days, and then prepared a horse to send him back, right? ”

Although Hou Ping's words did not directly show the dagger, they alluded to Jiang Han's surrender to the demon clan, otherwise it would be impossible to return to Yunzhou City so easily.

All of a sudden, the faces of people like Ning Guogong and Zhao Guogong became gloomy, especially Ning Guogong, although he was a rude military general who was ridiculed by Wenchen, but he had been in the court for many years, and he already knew a lot about intrigue, and at this moment he also smelled a hint of conspiracy.

“…… After Jiang Han returned to Yunzhou City, Yu Ao mobilized a large army and raided Feiyun Gorge, Feiyun Gorge was dangerous, Yu Ao attacked for a day and a night, and finally captured the pass, after capturing the pass, the soldiers came to Yunzhou City! Hou Ping said slowly.

He said this very skillfully, clearly describing the sneak attack of the demon clan on Feiyun Gorge, but he added a sentence in front of him "After Jiang Han returned to Yunzhou City", the previous words were enough to make the princes and His Majesty suspicious, and the latter sentence, as soon as Jiang Han returned to Yunzhou City, the demon clan immediately launched an attack, which made people subconsciously think, could it be Jiang Han and Yu Aoli who should join forces......

Although there is no evidence of this suspicion, doubts have already floated in the hearts of all the princes.

Hou Ping looked up at Li Huiming, this Emperor Xia Qi was full of joy and anger, it was difficult to see whether he was happy or angry from his face, Hou Ping continued: "After the demon army besieged Yunzhou City, Gu Jiedu asked me to guard the north gate and wait for reinforcements, and the east, west and south gates were guarded by the people of Jiedu. ”

These words specifically mentioned that Gu Qingqiu asked him to guard the north gate, which was to tell Emperor Xia Qi that even the Great Confucian believed me, and later said that Yunzhou City was strong and the demon clan could not attack it, which once again deepened the suspicion in Emperor Xia Qi's heart.

"The gates on all sides are tightly guarded, who would have thought that in the middle of the night, the demon clan suddenly attacked and stormed the south gate, and at that time, Jiang Han led Hu from Zhou Hu and escorted Si Jian to the south gate to support, and before the minister could support, the south gate was announced to be broken! The demon clan is coming to the city! ”

When Hou Ping said this, the faces of the princes of the court and the central government changed slightly.

Although Hou Ping did not directly say that Jiang Han and the demon clan should be in harmony with each other, these words were already very clear.

Led from Zhou Hu and escorted Si Jian to the south gate to support?

If Jiang Han wanted to support, why did he only lead two people?

And even Hou Ping was caught off guard, how did Jiang Han know so quickly?

Hou Ping's face showed a look of grief and anger, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, although the minister tried his best to kill the demon, but the opportunity has been lost, and the demon clan army will come in together, even if the minister and Gu Qingqiu and others are desperately killing the demon, it is difficult to turn the tide!" Yu Ao let people surround us and others, but did not kill, this traitor claimed that as long as we surrender to the demon clan, we can avoid death, and wait for him to capture Great Xia and share Great Xia in the future. ”

"Wolf ambition!" Zuo Governor Yushi Zhang Hua opened his mouth and scolded angrily: "This Yu arrogant is simply a wolf ambition!" He actually tried to plot against Great Xia! ”

Hou Ping said: "The minister and Gu Daru would rather die than surrender, and are willing to die in battle, but Yu Ao suddenly looked at Jiang Han and said that he wants to be a brother with Jiang Han and share everything in Luzhou City!" Come to help him with four products! Yu Ao is the Demon Lord, Jiang Han is the Demon Monarch......"

When they heard this, some of them sneered slightly, some showed disdain, some groaned, and some changed their faces.

Hou Ping said: "At that time, we all thought that Jiang Han would not surrender, who would have thought...!" ”

Hou Ping's face showed anger, he was slashed by Gu Qingqiu at that time, and there was a scar on his face from the corner of his right eye to his lips, and his face was full of anger at this time, and the scar wriggled like an earthworm, indescribably hideous and disgusting.

Hou Ping's voice raised, full of grief and anger: "Who would have thought that Jiang Han would actually draw his sword and stab Gu Jiedu with a sword!" The sword pierces through the back and comes out of the chest! ”

"What?"

"Impossible!"

"How is that possible?"

Many ministers in the DPRK and China were shocked.

Hou Ping said: "Gu Daru never thought that he would be stabbed by his apprentice with such a sword, and in a daze, he let Jiang Han escape...... Your Majesty! Jiang Han, a traitor, turned out to have surrendered to the demon clan a long time ago! ”

Hou Ping cried bitterly as he spoke: "The soldiers of the poor minister were all killed by Jiang Han!" They should have died on the battlefield, but they died tragically at the hands of their own people! ”

"Poor Gu Daru, under his grief, he thought again, to let everyone in the world know that Jiang Han had descended the demon clan, and he actually used the same life of heaven and earth, rushed to Yu Ao, and wanted to die with him......"

"The minister knew that what Gu Daru did was just to cover the minister's departure and endure the pain, and Gu Daru blew himself up after the minister escaped......"
