At that moment, Tai Hao called Shao Ling and Gu Sheng to his room, and Tai Hao told them that Yao Fuji was going to rebel, discussed countermeasures together, and asked Shao Ling to draft a statement to the emperor. The text reads:

His Majesty the Emperor Taihao:

I was shocked to hear that the city lord of Pinghe City, Yao Fuji, together with the city lord of Luyang City, the head of the Kunwu mountain thieves, You Li, Weitian, and Gongyi, as well as Kuzha Dengba from the Tubo Kingdom, colluded in Pinghe City and planned to rebel in three months.

Knock on the Holy Judge, Tai Hao, the deputy general of Pinghe City, the twenty-third month of the twentieth year of Xuanyu of the Eastern Empire.

Tai Hao handed this letter to Gu Sheng, and asked him to set off for Thousand Winds City immediately.

Tai Hao came to the door because he was worried about ghost leaves, ghost stems, ghost catkins, and life, so he added some officers and soldiers to protect him in the deputy general's mansion. However, the Adjutant General's Mansion remained safe and sound for several days, until a few days later, a famous official came to the Adjutant General's Mansion to invite Tai Hao to the Yamen, saying that the lord of Yao Fuji City had something to discuss with Lord Tai Hao. Taihao thought to himself, anyway, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, so I went alone.

After arriving at the yamen, Taihao saw that only Yao Fuji was sitting alone in the front hall. Yao Fuji saw Taihao coming, and got up to greet him. Tai Hao hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "See the city lord, I don't know what official duties the city lord has summoned to deal with?" ”

Yao Fuji also saluted: "Lord Taihao, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay in the mansion?" ”

Tai Hao arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the city lord's concern, everything is fine with the lower officials." ”

Yao Fu let Tai Hao sit down on his seat, and asked with a smile: "Is everything really okay, judging from Lord Tai Hao's expression, it seems that there is something on his mind, can you tell this official!" ”

Taihao didn't know what Yao Fuji meant when he asked him what he meant, so he had an idea and said: "I don't hide it, there is always a matter of heart pressing in my heart, and it is difficult to let go, I really don't dare to mention this matter to the city lord again, and please don't blame the city lord!" ”

Yao Fu laughed and said, "It's okay, Lord Taihao has something on his mind, just tell the official." ”

Tai Hao arched his hand and said: "When Xia Guan came to Pinghe City, I thought that there would be a group of like-minded friends here who could work with me to conspire together, but I never thought that I was still in the wrong place, and I knew that I would go to Luyang City." ”

Yao Fuji hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Lord Taihao said about the conspiracy, and what does it have to do with Lu Yang City?" ”

Tai Hao continued: "Before Xia Guan came here, he thought that the officials and people here would be as ambitious as Brother Gu Jicong and Brother Aqirong, and they could risk great things, but I didn't expect that the people here are like this...... Alas! I heard that the pawn of Luyang City is a hero who dares to think and act, but the lower officials can't get acquainted with the pawn of the city lord. ”

Tian Fuji was dumbfounded when he heard this, and only after a while did he say, "If Lord Taihao has anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

Tai Hao waved his hand and said: "Don't say it, don't say it, the city lord of Yao Fuji called the officials today, I don't know what you have to do?" ”

Let Taihao say this, Yao Fuji didn't want to talk about his own business, and said: "The official's business is not important, Lord Taihao will talk about it first, what are you thinking, might as well tell it and listen?" ”

Tai Hao sighed and said, "In this world, it is time for the lord of the Eastern Empire to change. ”

Yao Fuji was stunned and asked, "What does Lord Taihao mean by this?" Taihao glanced at Yao Fuji and said: "Does the city lord think that the lower officials are the kind of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death?" The lower official just wants to say that the world should have changed the dynasty a long time ago! ”

Yao Fuji pretended to be frightened, and hurriedly said: "Lord Taihao, don't say that, this is a big rebellion, and you will lose your head." Say no more! ”

Tai Hao saw that Yao Fuji was still pretending to be loyal to the Eastern Empire, and continued: "Xia Guan just has this one head, if he wants to take it, it's just that these words are in Xia Guan's heart, and if he doesn't say it, he will suffocate to death." To tell the truth, the purpose of the lower officials coming to Pinghe City is to unite with the city lord of Yaofuji and lead the troops to Thousand Winds City! Overthrow the current Xuanyu Dynasty and establish a new one. ”

Yao Fuji hurriedly said: "Lord Taihao, don't say that, don't say that......"

Tai Hao continued: "I didn't expect the city lord to be so afraid, I originally wanted to follow the city lord to lead the troops to revolt, and after hitting Thousand Winds City, I will support the city lord of Yao Fuji as the emperor, and I will wait for a long time." Taihao sighed heavily and continued: "I didn't expect that my Taihao would also be wrong. Anyway, Xia Guan decided to resign as a deputy general today and go to Luyang City to join the city lord! ”

After saying that, Taihao prepared to leave. Yao Fuji hurriedly said: "Lord Taihao, don't worry. ”

Tai Hao had a disappointed expression on his face and said, "What else is the city lord?" Just say it, Xia Guan is willing to do the last thing for the city lord. ”

Yao Fuji sighed: "It's not a secret, this official has the same idea as Lord Taihao. For example, it seems to be peaceful today, but in fact, the phoenix bird does not come, and only by changing the dynasty can the world be clear and clear. ”

Tai Hao pretended to be puzzled, and hurriedly asked Yao Fuji, "Could it be that the city lord also has the heart to raise troops to attack Thousand Winds City?" ”

Yao Fuji nodded and replied, "Exactly!" ”

Tai Hao smiled: "In that case, why didn't the city lord say it earlier?" ”

Yao Fuji said: "Until now, this official will not hide it from Lord Taihao, the city lord of Luyang City mentioned by Lord Taihao just now, and he also came to Pinghe City a few days ago. ”

Tai Hao asked pretendedly: "The city lord also knows the city lord of Luyang City?" ”

Yao Fuji nodded and said: "It's not just acquaintance, that pawn is the playmate of the official from childhood to adulthood, and was one of the most powerful assistants of the official, and later we were all elected as the city lord, he served as the city lord in Luyang City, and the official is in this Pinghe City, Pinghe City and Luyang City have also become brother cities, the two cities complement each other and support each other and rely on each other!" ”

Taihao nodded and said, "I see."

Yao Fuji continued, "This official and the city lord have already discussed the plan to raise an army. ”

Tai Hao asked thoughtfully: "Has the date for the start of the army been set, and can the lower officials go with the city lord?" ”

"Lord Taihao can raise troops to revolt with this official, this is naturally no problem. But after all, this matter is a matter of losing heads, and once the uprising fails, we will belong to the rebels, and we will definitely be dealt with according to national law. Taihao thought for a while and replied: "If you can hit the Thousand Winds City, then why be afraid of death!" ”

Yao Fuji was stunned for a moment, and continued: "A few days ago, we discussed together in Julongzhai and determined a specific plan. We will raise troops in all three places at the same time, and we will be able to reach Thousand Winds City in a month. At that time, if nothing else, the Eastern Empire will change the sky. ”

Taihao asked, "Three places to raise troops?" Which three places? ”

Yao Fuji said: "Pinghe City, Luyang City, and Kunwu Mountain. ”

Tai Hao continued to ask: "It's understandable that Pinghe City and Luyang City raised troops to revolt at the same time, but why did Kunwu Mountain also participate?" ”

Yao Fuji smiled: "When the army is raised, Lord Taihao will understand." ”

Seeing that Yao Fuji was reluctant to tell the reason, he continued to ask: "May I ask the city lord, is the city lord still in Pinghe City now, can I go and see him?" He is the hero that Xia Guan admires the most. "The reason why Taihao asked this question is because he wants to know one thing, that is, the ghost leaves, ghost stems, ghost catkins, and the lives and deaths are not in Pinghe City, and he doesn't really want to visit that pawn.

Yao Fuji said: "Because of the plague here, they all left Pinghe City the next day, Lord Taihao, do you really want to go on the expedition with us?" Hearing this, Tai Hao thought that the "they" that Yao Fuji said included all the "guests" he saw in Julongzhai that day.

Tai Hao replied: "This is an undesirable thing, of course the lower officials are willing to follow the city lord to go on the expedition!" ”

At this time, Bi Luojing walked in, and Yao Fuji said to Bi Luojing: "This official has already made it clear that Lord Taihao and we have the same aspirations. ”

Taihao remembered that Ah Jirong told him that Bi Luojing had called him for questioning, and knew that Bi Luojing wanted to drive him out of Pinghe City. Bi Luojing heard Yao Fuji say this, pulled Yao Fuji aside, and asked Yao Fuji in a low voice, "Are you sure?" Fudge nodded to him.

Bi Luojing said with a smile: "Lord Taihao, I wonder if the divine doctor who can control the spread of the plague has been invited?" ”

Tai Hao said: "Now it should be on the way back to ask the divine doctor." ”

Bi Luojing said: "I hope that the divine doctor invited by Lord Taihao can cure the people suffering from the plague, if not, I have to use my own method." ”

Taihao nodded, and didn't say anything more. He thinks that Bi Luojing regards the lives of the people as grass mustard, and he is simply unworthy of being an official, and he is not worried about the people when he is an official, so it is better to go home and plant a potato.

Yao Fuji asked Bi Luojing, "Lord Bi Luojing, what is the matter with you coming here?" ”

Bi Luojing looked at Tai Hao, and Tai Hao knew that it was because he was here, and it was inconvenient for Bi Luojing to say. Tai Hao hurriedly said: "Lord Fuji City, Lord Bi Luojing, then the next official will leave first." ”

Yao Fuji didn't stay, and Taihao walked out of the front hall. Thinking in my heart: I thought that Yao Fuji regarded me as a gang, but I didn't expect that when I told some secret things, I still had to carry me behind my back, for fear that I would hear it. But what did it mean that Fudge had told me all about their plans just now? When talking to Yao Fuji, it was obvious that he was still wary of himself, but he could not believe himself only by the few words he had "shown his loyalty" to him. If what he told him was a lie, then why bother, no matter what, after all, Yao Fuji didn't tell him the details of their specific military plan, it seems that Yao Fuji is still testing me.

On the way back to the Adjutant General's Mansion, I didn't go far when I saw a few officers and soldiers escorting a group of civilians, and Taihao knew that these people must have had the plague again and were arrested and quarantined by these officers and soldiers. Suddenly, a voice was heard among the people shouting, "Lord Taihao! Tai Hao took a closer look and found that Gu Jicong was also among the people who were being escorted.

Tai Hao stepped forward and asked, "Brother Gu Ji Cong, how can you be escorted by them?" ”
