"The matter of this Youzhou is even more complicated than I thought." King Jing said in a low voice.

Dugu Shao agreed: "Yes, originally we thought that at most the rebels of the former dynasty of Jiuqu would appear, but we didn't expect that the prince's brother would also be there, plus those family members at the Wenhui, as well as the Beidaying and Beifu Iron Cavalry. ”

King Jing smiled, he didn't plan to talk to Dugu Shao about many things for the time being, he said: "Your voice is very kind. ”

Dugu Shao was stunned for a moment: "If you don't call me Brother Prince, then what is my name?" ”

"You are the son of my Dugujing, of course, you have to call him His Royal Highness the Prince, or His Royal Highness Yun."

Dugu Shao muttered: "When I was a child, didn't my father say that my Dugu family is a family of military generals, starting from the end of the micro, and there is no need to pay attention to the red tape of the royal family of the previous dynasty. ”

King Jing remembered the past, his expression was a little melancholy, and he said lightly: "People will always change, no matter who he is." ”

King Jing was talking about today's saint, but Dugu Shao thought that King Jing was talking about himself, Dugu Shao pouted: "I remember that my father also said at that time that the people of my Dugu family were jealous of heaven, and they would love and help each other in the future......"

"Enough!" King Jing's face was gloomy and terrifying.

Dugu Shao shrunk his neck, knowing that his father was really angry.

King Jing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to say this kind of thing in the future. ”

Dugu Shao looked at his father's old face, and after struggling for a moment in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Father, when I went out this time, I heard some bad rumors in Youzhou. ”

Dugu Shao saw that his father didn't show any expression on his face, and plucked up the courage to continue: "People outside say that you have a rebellion and are a big disaster for the imperial court. ”

The corners of King Jing's mouth turned up slightly, as if mocking: "Who are those people?" ”

"The people in the streets, the talented people who marched, and some, some officials." Dugu Shao said as tactfully as possible.

"Hehehe."

Dugu Shao looked at his father in surprise, he didn't expect his father to laugh.

King Jing opened his eyes, although he was still smiling, his eyes were full of tiredness, and there was no smile at all.

"That's how I see it?"

Dugu Shao thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, he said confusedly: "I don't know." ”

"Don't know?"

Dugu Shao Zhengse said: "If it was at that time, I naturally wouldn't believe them, but now can my father tell me why you have privately expanded so many troops over the years?" Father, don't tell me that it's for the current rebellion of the Gongshan clan, and a Gongshan clan definitely doesn't need ten front battalions. ”

Facing Dugu Shao's questioning, King Jing's face showed a look of relief.

He didn't answer Dugu Shao's question directly, but asked, "Shao'er, who do you think is the enemy of your father?" ”

Dugu Shao was silent, he knew that this was King Jing's answer.

He said softly: "Then His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"Not only will I not harm him, but I will do my best to protect him."

"Why?" Dugu Shao obviously didn't believe his father's words.

King Jing said lightly: "It's very simple, because my enemy wants to harm him, then I naturally want to protect him." ”

Dugu Shao was shocked: "Father is saying that the prince's attack on Yaoshan was done by the imperial court?" ”

"I'm still investigating, but there are all kinds of signs that someone in the court is involved in this matter, and outside of this matter alone, it's not just people in the court who want the prince's life."

"Who else?"

"Hundred schools, one hundred Jingxiao. Beidaying, Gao Bo, Shang Qingzhou. Dongdaying, Jun Qiong, Ruojia, Zuo Yu ......" King Jing paused: "Ruoling." ”

Listening to these familiar or unfamiliar names, Dugu Shao was already speechless in shock, and when he heard the word Ruoling, Dugu Shao couldn't sit still at all.

"Is my father's source really credible?"

King Jing touched Dugu Shao's head: "Don't worry, if Ling wants to kill the prince because Jun Yao, the head of the Jun family, once said next to him, as long as you kill the prince, the world will belong to you." ”

Dugu Shao's breath was suffocated.

"How? Do you want to be an emperor? ”

……

"Do I want to be emperor?"

Dugu Shao walked down from the watchtower, constantly muttering his father's words.

A cold evening breeze blew, which made Dugu Shao feel excited, he slapped himself hard, and instantly regained his vitality: "What am I thinking?" Yes! Dugu Shao patted his head, and then remembered that he had forgotten to ask the most important thing.

He looked up at the watchtower, thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll go to the medicine camp again, maybe I didn't look carefully at that time." ”

When night fell, the starlight fell, looking at the distant beloved son, King Jing's eyes showed a sad color, followed by a strong killing intent.

Not long after Dugu Shao left, Mr. Gao hurriedly climbed the watchtower.

"Our messengers have already delivered the news through the east, and King Jing can launch a counteroffensive at any time."

King Jing nodded, and then asked, "Can our people find out the whereabouts of Bai Jingxiao and Yuwen Hu?" ”

"Bai Jingxiao hasn't seen it, but Yuwen Hu, some people say that they saw him around Yizhou City a few days ago, he was organizing the surrounding militia, but because the news was accidentally leaked, after the militia was dispersed by the people of the Gongshan clan, Yu Wenhu disappeared."

"Yizhou City? Organizing a militia? It's a trick, but is he doing it for me? King Jing chuckled.

Mr. Gao was puzzled: "You mean he has ulterior motives." ”

King Jing looked at the bright night sky and said, "He is either leaving it alone and returning to Beifu now, or he is doing something big elsewhere." ”

"Big deal?"

King Jing turned around with a smile in his eyes: "Something that will help us." ”

……

A mansion in Dongjiang City was brightly lit, and the officers and soldiers had already surrounded this place, looking at the door with a nervous expression, waiting for Ruofan's arrival.

After a while, Ruo Fan, who had an angry face, galloped over on a horse, and without waiting for Baili to speak, Ruo Fan directly yelled at him: "What's the matter? ”

Baili shot back: "Someone in the neighborhood reported the case, saying that they heard the fierce fighting inside at night, and our people wanted to go in to investigate, but who knew that there was no return, so the subordinates sent people to surround this place layer by layer." ”

Ruofan tightened the clothes on his body, frowned, and said, "After that, has anyone ever broken out?" ”

"No, I didn't."

Ruofan picked up a torch and shone it on the closed door, and he ordered: "Smash the door!" ”

Baili shot and said: "My lord, I really want to smash it, it's ...... here."

Ruofan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "At such a critical moment, there must be no mistakes. He lifted the torch and illuminated the plaque on the door, which had two large letters written on it.

Junfu.
