Red bricks and green tiles, tall houses, fierce and mighty stone beasts on both sides of the Zhu Gate, green cypress shady, the fragrance of flowers overflowing, occasionally bow their heads and hurriedly pass through the inner servants in the long corridor looks a little exaggerated.

Guan Cheng followed behind a small yellow door, passed through the layers of guards, and finally stopped in front of a large hall.

The atmosphere in the air was quiet and terrifying, as if something had been cut off.

Guan Cheng was a little surprised, and after looking around, he still had an indescribable uncomfortable feeling. 、

The little yellow door had never been raised, so that Guan Cheng followed and walked for a long time without seeing this person's face.

"Please ask His Royal Highness King Jin later, let the slave go in and say goodbye."

The voice is a little sharp, and the pitch is just right, without goosebumps, but with some caution in it.

Guan Cheng nodded and said, "If you have work, you are alone." ”

The figure of the little yellow door quickly disappeared in the palace gate, Guan Cheng couldn't help but look at the palace guards, everyone was wearing good leather armor, wearing a bronze long sword around their waists, and holding Chang Ge in their hands, everyone's eyebrows were with a hint of murderous aura, and those who knew how to know it knew at a glance that this was a veteran killed on the battlefield.

This is the East Palace of Liang Guo, the place where the prince of Liang Guo lived.

Just Guan Cheng saw hundreds of guards along the way, and this was just the guards on duty, and there were probably not thousands of people under the command of the entire East Palace.

Guan Cheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional, when he was in Yong'an City, he was only two thousand guards, and this almost hollowed out the family foundation of the East Palace, and Liang Guo, the son of a fourth-class sub-country, had more pomp than himself, and this kind of equipment was about to catch up with the internal guards of Yong'an City.

While thinking about it, the main entrance of the main hall was opened, and the group walked out quickly.

"My good nephew~"

The lady in front stretched out her hand, and her beautiful eyes were full of urgency, and she was ready to cry.

Guan Cheng hurriedly saluted and said loudly: "Nephew greets aunt!" ”

The original name of the county lord of Jinghui was Guan Huiyue, the daughter of the late king of Dangyang County, and the king of Dangyang County is the uncle of His Majesty the current emperor, who has been in his arms since he was a child, and the two have a very good relationship. And Guan Cheng often spent the night in the palace of Dangyang County when he was very young, Guan Cheng was still in infancy at that time, and the pink carved jade was really cute and tight, for the two daughters of the king of Dangyang County, Guan Cheng was a serious baby bump, and he really loved it.

It's a pity that later, Jinghui and Jinghui married Liang Guo and Chu Guo, so they rarely returned to Yong'an City, and at this time they saw Guan Chengna called an excitement.

At the moment, he dragged Guan Cheng's arm, and the tears in his eyes were already unbearable, and he clasped his hands and said in a trembling voice: "Okay!" All right! Cheng'er is also grown up now, a young hero, a talent, I don't know how many girls in our Chase are fascinated by this look, my aunt looks at you, happy! ”

Guan Cheng listened to a warm current in his heart, he could feel this kind of genuine care, he couldn't remember some things when he was a child, but the connection between the blood still shortened the distance between the two in an instant.

"Let's go, follow my aunt in and talk, you kid can't leave today!"

After saying that, he pulled Guan Cheng and hurried back.

Guan Cheng smiled wryly but felt extra warmth, if he is so big today, his status is noble, but how many people can care about him.

The two of them went all the way to the back hall, and the maid had already served melons and fruits and good tea.

Gossip, the two of them sighed from time to time when they talked about some embarrassing places, and the situation in Chase was like this, it was difficult to return, and the atmosphere was a little heavy when they talked.

As the monarch of Datong, Guan Huiyue naturally hopes that Datong is strong, although she has been in the palace for so many years, she is not ignorant of everything in the outside world.

"Chase is harder than ever!"

Guan Huiyue sighed for a while.

"Yes, my father can't sleep every time he thinks about it, and he can't swallow it, but who still respects the royal family in the world today."

Guan Huiyue said with a sad face: "I hate my aunt for a lifetime, even if she is the princess, it is difficult to do anything, although your uncle is good to me, but when I talk about this, I am speechless." ”

Guan Cheng comforted in turn: "The son of Liang is first of all the son of Liang State, and then his uncle. ”

"Why are you going to Beijing this time? Why did my aunt hear that you had been removed from the crown prince? Guan Huiyue finally remembered what was going on, and asked with a serious face: "Is someone slandering?" Or was it your father's own idea? You tell your aunt that your aunt is in charge of you, don't be afraid! ”

Guan Huiyue spread her wings like an old hen guarding her cubs.

Guan Cheng's heart was even more moved, he could appreciate this sincerity.

"Auntie, there is nothing to do, it was my nephew who asked for it."

Guan Huiyue's good-looking eyebrows twisted up and asked puzzledly, "What did you ask for?" A good prince is not right, but what should he be the king of Jin? ”

Guan Cheng's spirits perked up, and he secretly said that he was coming.

I will seal it this time, it doesn't matter if it doesn't appear, since it appears, it is impossible for the prince of Liang Guo not to care.

The fief set aside by the Jin State has four counties and thirty-three counties, and Gan Zhen, the prince of the Liang State, naturally knows how unpeaceful that place is hundreds of miles away, and the surrounding vassal states are eyeing it, but it is also hindered by the fact that the forces of all parties maintain a strange balance.

Moreover, Gan Zhen also knew that Zhong Liguo in the south had begun to prepare to take the door of Chu State, and was ready to swallow the four counties, and even if Emperor Tong had an opinion, he would have to pinch his nose and eat this dumb loss.

At this juncture, Guan Cheng is going to be a vassal domain, which has to make people think about it.

There is no shortage of capable people in various countries, and it is not that no one has thought about breaking and standing up after Guan Chengneng can think of it, but if today's pattern has been formed, only those thirty-three counties want to turn over?

No one thought it was a feasible thing, including Gan Zhen and his princess, who thought it was impossible.

Not to mention that the county wang family in the four counties has made a lot of money from betting over the years, just the Hong family in Shuyang County has thousands of private soldiers, not to mention some other small families.

This is one of the main reasons why the surrounding countries have not occupied the four counties by force.

In this era, the famous family represents the public opinion to a large extent, it represents the belonging, if there is no support from the famous family, it is even difficult to implement the policy.

Huo Yang and other counties are far away from the emperor, and the surrounding countries are fighting back and forth and don't care about him, and over time, these four counties have actually made a mutual protection alliance, advancing and retreating together externally, and supporting internally, and they have become a force.

Guan Huiyue didn't believe that Guan Cheng didn't know what was going on in this, but she still invited herself to the Jin Kingdom, she didn't understand, and neither did the prince of Liang Guo.

Guan Cheng's news has been paid attention to by all countries along the way, Guan Cheng's successive defeats in the territory of Jin have long known about the Jin soldiers Liang Guozi, but now Guan Cheng has only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and there are many wounded, and there are a lot of materials, but there are more than 1,000 people, and even the private soldiers of any of the four counties of Huoyang are more than 1,000.

Is it going to be sent to death just like this?

Guan Huiyue didn't care about Guan Cheng's purpose, she was only worried that the only nephew she had hugged should not have an accident, otherwise Datong would really have no successor.

Guan Cheng sighed and said, "Everything is just survival." ”

Guan Huiyue was puzzled and asked: "Although the princes no longer respect Datong, but Datong still has a name, whoever dares to ignore it is a group to attack it, as long as there is righteousness, no matter how many princes in the world there is still only one Datong, why bother to survive?" ”

"Auntie knows what happened to my nephew in Jinguo."

Guan Huiyue's face immediately turned cold when she heard Jin Guo, and her voice became cold: "Clowns like Jin Guo really think that they are overlords, but they just defeated Peng Shu and the two small countries. ”

Then Guan Huiyue said to Guan Cheng: "Cheng'er, don't worry, your tone will definitely come out, don't say anything else, just say Liang Guo, the prince has already said that the lord of the country has moved, and when the crisis of Liang State is completely resolved at the end of summer, he will send troops and horses to teach Jin Guo a good lesson, and as far as my aunt knows, these surrounding princes want to get a piece of the pie, how much can it withstand in terms of the territory of Jin Guo." ”

This news surprised Guan Cheng a little, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

"But aunt, if there is one, there will be two, with one Jin country, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a second Jin country, Datong has lost his strength to control the world, although there are more than 100 counties in Datong, but it is scattered all over the world, is being eaten by the princes, in the long run, Datong is really only one county and eight counties in Gyeonggi."

"At that time, if there are princes who want to break this relationship, then will Datong be the extinction of the country?"

"You can't put all your eggs in the same basket."

"My nephew went to Beijing this time, although it was a self-invitation, but he also had the intention of his father, so he had to plan for the worst in advance."

Guan Huiyue shook her head and sighed: "You must know better than my aunt what Huoyang County is like, there are only thirty-three counties in the Jin Kingdom, even if you can control the Jin Kingdom, how many soldiers and horses can you get?" ”

"Child, it's a troubled time now, look at the Liang State with eight counties and fifty-eight counties, but in the face of Zhou Wei, even the Song State can only endure step by step, and even the Jin State dares to provoke."

"Between the princes, between the kingdoms is not as simple as you think, it is impossible for Zhongli and Shu to sit back and watch a Jin king who suddenly appears snatches the meat from his mouth."

Guan Cheng smiled and said: "You may die if you fight, but you may also live, but if you stay in Yong'an, there will be no way to live in the future, and there is still a chance at this moment." ”

"The sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly, my nephew is equivalent to jumping out of the cage, leaving hope for our Guan family."

Guan Huiyue looked vigilant, thought for a moment and then exclaimed and asked, "The sea is wide and the sky is high?" You! Do you want to repeat the story of Taizu? ”

I can't help but be shocked by Guan Huiyue, Emperor Taizu started from a strong start, he was already sixty years old when he started his army, there were no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and the land was no more than three counties.

Guan Cheng said with a smile: "Emperor Taizu's Shenwen Shengwu, how can his nephew He De dare to match him." ”

"My nephew just wants to leave a glimmer of hope for Datong, the hope of not being exterminated, and let the rest be."

Guan Huiyue said: "Do you know that your cousin is the eldest son-in-law. ”

"My nephew knows, but there is a state of Chu between the Jin State and the Liang State, and the State of Chu is a hegemon with more than 800 counties."

Guan Huiyue was stunned when she heard this, and immediately smiled: "Are you looking for your aunt, but what do you need your aunt's help with?" ”
