Chapter 20: Masculine Becomes Feminine (6)
Changya first thought of Bao Baisui, because he knew the language of beasts, but he immediately denied this idea, because Bao Baisui knew the language of divine beasts, and immediately he thought of the people of the Suzaku Palace, the Nana clan is famous for capturing monsters, and they must know the language of monsters. He took Wu Gang up the mountain overnight to see Zhang Road.
Zhang Lu was overjoyed when he saw Changya, and ran outside the palace to greet him in the Vermilion Bird Palace robe. After he cultivated to the full level, the Thirty-Nine Whip Method had already been completed, and he had a gentle personality and treated his clansmen like brothers and sisters. When he heard the purpose of Changya's trip, he agreed to it, and then entered the inner room of the Suzaku Palace, and after a while, he was already in another suit, wrapped in tight clothes, with a bow and arrow on his back, and a divine whip at his waist, and the whole person stood in front of the two of them.
Changya didn't know what he meant, Wu Gang smiled and said, "Third brother, the palace master of Zhang is going to personally go out and escort us across the mountain." ”
Zhang Lu said with a smile: "That's right. ”
Changya was overjoyed, he didn't expect him to be so worried about his old friend, if it wasn't for the original friendship, even if he was ordered to go by the leader of the alliance, he was afraid that he would not be so happy.
When the three of them returned to Saigo, they saw three tall horses tied to the entrance of the headquarters, thinking that they were guests. Sure enough, when they arrived at the door, the guards came up and reported to Chang Yayu: "The leader of the alliance came back at this time, and there were people from Deng Daotong in Raozhou in the east who came to report the military situation to Lord Wu, and they were already waiting a little anxiously, and they were shouting that we should lead the way to the Vermilion Bird Palace, thinking that the military situation was urgent." ”
As soon as Wu Gang heard this, he strode in, saw that it was Deng Fan, and bowed his hand and said, "Let Deng Dagongzi wait for a long time." ”
Deng Fan returned the salute and said, "I've seen Lord Shilang!" Seeing that there was no one left and right, he said softly: "It's about the leader of the Tiger Shark Gang." ”
Wu Gang said: "This incident was originally the information that my third brother got when he tracked down the demon soldiers and sent arrows. At that time, my third brother was still the commander of my Middle-earth Praetorian Guard. Now he is the leader of the Northern Alliance. However, if he has formed an alliance with my country, he can be regarded as his own person, and this follow-up information should be consulted by him. ”
Only then did Deng Fan know that the person who asked to track down the bandit leader who was "middle-aged with long bearded crane eyes and a scar on his forehead" turned out to be Changya, and he couldn't help but be in awe of Changya.
Changya saw Deng Fan leading troops to fight outside Lingzhou City back then, and he was very impressed by him, and at this time he saw him twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a military uniform. There are some marks of vicissitudes on his face, and he looks mature and sophisticated. The two met and exchanged a few words, and Deng Fan said: "Lord Changmeng, your information last year was very timely, which gave us a sense of urgency, and a suspicious point you left me at that time was finally confirmed to us, although it was nearly a year late, but it was not too late." ”
Changya didn't understand for a while, and said, "What is the doubt?"
Deng Fan said: "The middle-aged man has long bearded crane eyes and a scar on his forehead. At that time, he claimed to be the leader of the Tiger Shark Gang, can the leader of the alliance remember? ”
Changya Daigo. Said: "Really, what is the result of your investigation?" He changed his words and suddenly said very mysteriously: "Second brother, Deng Gongzi, I have a friend here, please allow him to come and hear about this matter, maybe he can give us more enlightenment." ”
Wu Gang asked suspiciously, "What kind of person is it?"
Changya said: "It is extremely reliable, speaking of which, the second brother is still a fellow countryman with him, but his identity is extremely secretive." ”
Changya said this, which aroused the curiosity of the two even more. Changya entered, and after a while, accompanied a young man out. Wu Gang and Deng Fan looked at each other and saw that this person was dignified, his skin was plump, and there was naturally an atmosphere between his eyebrows. When the man saw Wu Gang, he called the Wu family brothers. Wu just returned the salute, but he didn't know what to call it.
Changya said solemnly: "He is the prince of the country today. ”
Wu Gang was shocked, he knew that the surname of the Celestial Dynasty was Zhou, but he had never seen the official of his own country, let alone the current crown prince.
Before he could speak, Zhou You said miserably: "Young Master Wu, our Zhou family can't stand your Wu family, and we didn't protect you well, causing you to wander and be homeless." Every time my father thought of this, he sighed and sighed, and his heart was at peace. He always said that there would be no Celestial Empire without the Wu family, and in recent years, I heard that you are still in the world, and you are brave and quite like the Heavenly Servant General back then, and he finally had some comfort knowing this. ”
Wu Gang thought of this, there was hatred in his heart, and he said lightly: "What else do you mention him?"
Chang Ya said: "Second brother, the Zhou dynasty was helpless back then, you can listen to the origin of Prince Zhou." ”
Wu Gang has been hunted down and killed by the Dongxiang Holy Pavilion since he was sensible, and sometimes he can't avoid blaming Emperor Zhou, so he still said lightly: "Please say it to Gongzi Zhou." ”
Zhou You exhaled and said: "When General Tianfu disappeared back then, I was still young, and what happened later was told by my father, and he was completely unaware of the murder of General Tianfu's family, and those people were quite secretive, and they couldn't find any clues. The father felt that the matter was too bizarre, and secretly asked the personal guards to investigate, and when he came back with a pair of certificates, he found a very strange thing, that is, the day after the disappearance of the Heavenly Servant General, the Wu family was destroyed, it is conceivable that this is a long-planned conspiracy, the purpose is to disintegrate the power of the Heavenly Servant General, and the strength of the Heavenly Servant General has blocked whose plan. ”
Wu Gang said angrily: "But my father is loyal and died for the country, who hates my father so much, don't you know?"
Zhou You said: "I really didn't know at the time, I was originally suspicious of the demon, but at that time, the whole family was united, and the demon couldn't get in at all." Later, the thief's face was revealed, but it was too late. After the Wu family was wiped out, my father tried his best to track down the murderer, but he couldn't find out where the murderer was. At that time, Li Zhiyin's power was getting stronger, and he suddenly attacked the power of General Wu on the charge of treason of General Tianfu, and killed a group of his cronies. As his power grew, he firmly held the power of the army, and my father finally found that most of the troops did not listen to the transfer, but obeyed Li Zhiyin's arrangement. ”
Wu Gang said with tears in his eyes: "My aunt took me to hide in a pillar at that time, and only then did she escape, my mother was pierced through the chest with a sword, and she hugged the pillar tightly before she died, so as not to let the murderer discover the secret of the pillar, do you know who the perpetrator is?"
Zhou You said: "East Chamber Holy Pavilion." ”
Wu Gang gritted his teeth, and word by word popped out of his mouth: "Li is corrupt, as long as he doesn't die, he will always hit my hand." ”
It was only then that everyone knew that Mrs. Song was not Wu Gang's mother, but his aunt, and the Wu family only left him as a single seedling, and the misery at that time can be imagined, and Mrs. Song has never married, and she has suffered a lot with Wu Gang. She asked Wu Gang to follow her surname Song to hide people's eyes, which can be said to be a helpless move.
Zhou You nodded and said, "Sure enough, it is the demon Li Zhiyin, who has set up the headquarters of the Dongxiang Holy Pavilion on an island in the Haihe River, surrounded by 100,000 sailors. Over the years, he has vigorously cultivated his cronies, and the army of the Celestial Empire has been completely controlled by him. My father only had the Imperial Guards and the Praetorian Guard to trust. Li Zhiyin was no longer satisfied with his current position, and began to coerce my father to abdicate. In order to ensure a glimmer of hope, my father secretly sent me to hide at the half-immortals on Haihe Immortal Island. Last year, the situation in the Celestial Empire Kingdom suddenly became tense, and the demi-immortals had realized that the war was coming, so they moved to the base of the Misty Mountain Range, Butterfly Immortal Valley. According to my father's instructions, the valley lord took me away from Xiandao together, but as soon as I arrived on the shore, I met the demon soldiers, captured me, and took me to the dark demon capital, fortunately, the soldiers of the Northern Alliance rescued me, otherwise I would have endured the devouring of poisonous insects in the prison of the demon capital. ”
Changya said: "You are all victimized by Li Zhuyin's evil thief, and you should unite to crusade against Li Zhiyin." ”
Deng Fan said: "What we have learned from this reconnaissance seems to be much worse than what Prince Zhou said. ”
Wu Gang asked, "What a bad method, you take your time." ”
Zhou You exclaimed: "Deng Gongzi, wait for me to take a deep breath before you speak." "The worry was undisguised, and it was completely revealed.
Deng Fan said: "Yes." After seeing Zhou Youqing, he calmed down a little before he said: "Since receiving the order from the imperial court, we have been looking around, but we don't know that two months have passed, and we haven't even found the shadow of the Tiger Shark Gang on the Haihe River, only to find groups of sad old fish, those fish are shaped like people, with no limbs, just fins, and their tragic situation of joy and sorrow is sympathetic, and some parents have been orphaned, and some children have been killed and become widows." My father was furious. So he changed his method and simply sent me to lead 3,000 sailors to search for the Tiger Shark Gang's pirates on the Haihe River in the name of suppressing bandits. After months of searching, I finally found out that the headquarters of the Tiger Shark Gang is on the floating island. I led my troops to kill the floating island, but every time it was empty, I thought that the floating island was just a name, but I didn't think that the floating island was really floating on the sea. Later, when we finally found the floating island, we led the army to kill it, only to find that it was not an island, but a city on the sea made up of hundreds of ships. There were always thousands of people in this sea city, but there was no resistance, and the gates were opened and let us in. Our people were afraid that there would be an ambush inside, so they didn't dare to be careless for a while. A man in his fifties walked out of the city, but instead of a scar on his forehead, he had a piece of vitiligo. ”
"Uncle, why is he?" everyone looked at the person who spoke, and it was Zhou You.
Deng Fan was surprised: "Is he your uncle? That's good." ”
Zhou You said: "When I was sent to Xiandao, my uncle was still the governor of the water division, and later, what happened to him to become a robber?"
Deng Fan said: "Your uncle calls himself King Zhou Dong and is the leader of the Tiger Shark Gang. ”
Zhou You was very puzzled, and said to himself: "Yes, King Zhou Dong is my uncle, is it, could it be that he was also assassinated by Li Zhiyin?"
Deng Fan said: "Exactly, King Zhou Dong said that he had long known that the soldiers of Zhongzhou were chasing him, but he thought about it, but he couldn't think of where to offend Zhongzhou, and he wanted to send a large army to chase him around, he said: 'I didn't do anything bad and was not afraid of ghosts calling the door, and today I want to talk to the Zhongzhou National Naval Division to understand." I was stunned, and I didn't know if what he said was true or not, you must know that people are hard to guess, he and I are fake, I don't want to be fooled. He glanced up at the front, as if King Zhou Dong was standing in front of him. (To be continued......)
