Chapter 50: Pinghe City is in danger
At this moment, Gu Sheng came to Tai Hao's room and reported to Tai Hao: "Brother Tai Hao, the city lord of Yao Fuji is gathering dragons to feast guests. ”
Da Shunqu said that Yao Fuji would invite distinguished guests to a banquet in Julongzhai recently, but he didn't expect to be entertaining guests today. Tai Hao asked, "Who are you at the banquet, do you know anyone?" ”
Gu Sheng said: "In addition to the city lord on the table, there are two people who know each other, one is Lord Bi Luojing, and the other is Wanyan Horse. ”
Tai Hao was very surprised, and muttered: "Ten thousand words of the horse? I didn't expect Wanyan to escape here from the capital. ”
Taihao asked Gu Sheng to stay in the mansion, and he took a face towel and went to Julongzhai. Soon walked to the door of Julongzhai, Taihao covered his mouth and nose with the face towel, leaving only a pair of eyes so as not to be recognized. As soon as he walked in, he saw Onishi drinking wine on the table, and Taihao saw that Onishi was drinking vigorously, so he ignored him. Seeing Yao Fuji on the second floor, although Tai Hao couldn't hear what they were talking about, he looked at the guests at the table, and there were actually several people who had seen them in the Wanyan Horse Mansion, including the city lord of Luyang City, Na Gan, and three men in black.
Although Taihao had just come to Pinghe City, he was ostracized by Yao Fuji. Although they were displeased, they knew that they must be talking about rebellion. At that moment, he thought of General Da Shunqu's words again, and General Da Shunqu told him that when Yao Fuji was entertaining distinguished guests, if he did not invite Tai Hao, he would let Tai Hao go to him to discuss something. At this time, two familiar figures walked into Julongzhai. These two tall and mighty men, Tai Hao immediately recognized them, they were the subordinates of Master Wanyan, who had lives and took their lives. The lives of their brothers have already been killed by Tai Hao, and if they had recognized Tai Hao for their lives and lives, they would definitely have killed Tai Hao.
Tai Hao immediately left Julongzhai and went to the General's Mansion. After walking for about half an hour, Tai Hao walked to the General's Mansion, and the doorkeeper saw him coming, and said directly to Tai Hao: "Lord Tai Hao, the general invites you to go directly to the front hall." ”
Tai Hao groaned: "It seems that General Da Shunqu guessed that I would come again." ”
Taihao walked into the front hall, Da Shunqu was about to drink tea, and when he saw Taihao coming in, he put down the teaglass, stood up, and said with a smile: "Lord Taihao, please take a seat." ”
Tai Hao arched his hand and said: "The general is really like a god. Then he sat down on a stool beside him.
Da Shunqu smiled: "Lord Taihao went to Julongzhai?" ”
Taihao said: "I've been there." ”
Da Shunqu asked again: "Did you see anyone you knew?" ”
Taihao said: "There are a few who have seen it...... I think I can guess what they're supposed to be talking about. ”
Da Shunqu said with a smile: "The old man knows what Lord Taihao is thinking in his heart, Lord Taihao must be thinking, they must be talking about rebellion." Lord Taihao was indeed right, they were indeed talking about rebellion against the imperial court, and they directly discussed the day of rebellion. ”
Tai Hao asked suspiciously, "How did the general know?" ”
Da Shun channel: "Today you see that there are eight people on that table, the first is Yao Fuji, the second is Bi Luojing, the third is Wanyan Horse, the fourth is You Li, the boss of the 'Four Great Demons' of Kunwu Mountain, the fifth is the second Weitian of the 'Four Great Demons', the sixth is the old Sangong of the 'Four Great Demons', the seventh is the city lord Na Shugan from Luyang City, and the eighth is Kuzha Dengba from Tubo. ”
Tai Hao asked: "I have seen the poor two of the 'four demons', those three men in black are similar to the poor two, and the three of them should be You Li, Wei Tian and Gongyi." Since they were discussing rebellion, why did the Kozha Demba from Tibet come to participate? ”
Da Shunqu replied: "Although that Kuoza Dengba is not a citizen of the Eastern Empire, but he has been in the Central Plains for many years, he was a famous chivalrous man on the rivers and lakes, Yao Fuji remembered the rebellion, in order to get the support of his neighbors, he pulled him into the gang, in fact, the real purpose of his years in the Central Plains is to get the secret book of "Mao Zu Shengong". ”
Tai Hao's eyes widened and said, "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill"? ”
Da Shun channel: "Yes, Lord Taihao should know about "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill", right?" ”
Tai Hao didn't dare to tell him that he had learned all the moves of the first volume of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill" "Snow Cat Fluttering Shadow", but said: "I understand a little." ”
At this time, a man dressed as an officer and soldier came into the front hall, whispering in Da Shunqu's ear, Da Shunqu nodded while listening, and after speaking, the officer and soldier retreated.
Da Shun channel: "Lord Taihao is still unwilling to reveal the real reason for coming to Pinghe City to the old man?" ”
Tai Hao pondered for a long time and said: "It's not a secret, the real reason why the emperor appointed me to Pinghe City this time was for me to investigate how many soldiers and horses there were in Pinghe City, and for me to become the general of the city defense and lead the army of Pinghe City." ”
Da Shunqu sighed deeply and said, "I'm afraid it's too late......"
Tai Hao hurriedly asked, "Why did the general say this?" ”
Da Shun channel: "Now, they have discussed the day of the army......
Tai Hao was dumbfounded for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "When will they start their army?" ”
Da Shun channel: "Three months later." ”
Taihao asked, "How can you be in such a hurry?" ”
Da Shun channel: "The old man thinks that Yao Fuji already knows the true purpose of your coming to Pinghe City, and he will not let you sit in the position of the general of Pinghe City." ”
Taihao pondered for a long time and said, "Then what should I do now?" ”
Da Shun channel: "Does Lord Taihao have a one-month agreement with Bi Luojing to see who can control the plague?" Tai Hao nodded to him, and Da Shunqu continued: "How sure is Lord Tai Hao that he can control the spread of the plague?" ”
Taihao replied: "I don't have the slightest certainty, I can only gamble." ”
Da Shunqu sighed and said: "Three months later, Yao Fuji will raise troops here, that pawn will raise troops in Luyang City, and the 'four demons' of Kunwu Mountain will take the minions on the mountain to meet in the Central Plains, I don't know if Emperor Xuanyu can resist the arrival of the three-way rebels......"
Tai Hao asked, "According to the general, what should I do now?" ”
Da Shun channel: "Although there are many things that you and I can't stop, there are still a few things that can be done. ”
Taihao hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Da Shun channel: "The first thing is to send a capable general to rush to Thousand Winds City to report to Emperor Xuanyu that Fu Ji is going to rebel; The second thing is that Lord Taihao must do everything possible to become the general of Pinghe City; The third thing is to pretend that you are also going to rebel against the court, and find a way to let Yao Fuji know that you also want to rebel, so that Yao Fuji thinks that you and his purpose are the same. ”
Tai Hao asked again: "General Da Shunqu, you should know the number of soldiers and horses in Pinghe City." ”
Da Shun channel: "The old man only knows that there are at least 50,000 officers and soldiers, but no one will know the number of militia and some soldiers and horses that Yao Fuji hides from reporting." ”
Tai Hao said: "What other plans does the general have?" ”
Da Shun channel: "Wait and see what happens...... Also, Lord Taihao has to be more careful in Pinghe City recently. ”
Tai Hao asked, "Why do you say that, could it be that the Lord of Yaofuji City is plotting to kill me?" ”
Da Shun channel: "Lord Taihao is an official appointed by the emperor, and Yao Fuji will never dare to act rashly against Lord Taihao before he rebels." Moreover, Yao Fuji doesn't know whether Taihao is an enemy or a friend now, so Xiao Fuji doesn't dare to do anything to you. ”
Taihao asked again, "Then who will harm me?" ”
Da Shun channel: "Lord Taihao's affairs in Fengling City, the old man has also heard about it. ”
Tai Hao was very surprised and asked, "The general already knows everything about me. ”
Da Shunqu said with a smile: "Lord Taihao, don't think too much, the old man is also ordered to do it." ”
Tai Hao asked: "Ordered to do it, dare to ask whose order the general is underway?" ”
Da Shun channel: "I'll tell you this later, Lord Taihao knows who will harm you, right?" ”
"Four little ghosts!" Tai Hao said softly.
Da Shunqu smiled: "Now it should be said that it is the 'three little ghosts'." Lord Taihao must pay attention, now the three of them have arrived in Pinghe City. ”
Tai Hao nodded and said, "General Xie cares." ”
Subsequently, Taihao said goodbye to General Da Shunqu and left the general's mansion. He didn't leave the general's mansion far, and when he passed by the mouth of an alley, a man who covered his mouth and nose with a white face towel suddenly came out, and the man shouted, "Lord Taihao." As soon as Tai Hao was about to ask who he was, the man took off the white face towel from his face, and Tai Hao found that he was Ah Jirong.
Tai Hao asked, "Brother Ah Jirong, why did you suddenly appear here, is there anything wrong?" ”
Ah Jirong said: "Lord Taihao, have you offended Lord Bi Luojing?" ”
Taihao said: "Why do you say this? ”
Ah Jirong said: "Just now, Lord Bi Luojing called me and Brother Gu Jicong and asked a lot about you. ”
Taihao thought to himself: "Didn't this Bi Luojing have been drinking in Julongzhai just now, how can he still have time to call Gu Jicong and A Jirong over." Immediately, he said to Ah Jirong: "Brother Ah Jirong will come to the house with me, and we will talk slowly." ”
Taihao took Ah Jirong to the Deputy General's Mansion quickly, took Ah Jirong to his room, and asked him, "Brother Ah Jirong, what did Lord Bi Luojing tell you?" ”
Ah Jirong said: "Lord Bi Luojing first asked how we and Lord Taihao met?" We told the truth. Then he asked in the examination room, what method did Lord Taihao want to use to kill the emperor at that time? We didn't know about this, so we didn't say it. Then he asked, the emperor did not succeed in assassination at that time, where did Lord Taihao go? Of course, we didn't know this, so we didn't say it, and listened to him muttering there, we must drive Lord Taihao out of Pinghe City or something. Lord Taihao, how did you offend Lord Biluojing? ”
Tai Hao lied and said: "Recently, I have been thinking about how to raise troops to attack Thousand Winds City, but unfortunately, I have no military power in my hands. Maybe I'm acting like I want to have military power too much, and he's not happy with me. Taihao let Ah Jirong go and gave him a silver ingot.
At this time, Taihao looked out the window in the room and couldn't help but start to feel melancholy. He began to worry a little about his own life, and even more worried about the lives of his brothers and sisters who came with him. He suddenly sensed that Pinghe City was full of doubts, threats, and traps.
