Qin Ke couldn't help but shudder, a little afraid to imagine that if he met this cavalry in the middle of the night, would he really think of them as nocturnal wandering gods......

The corners of Gao Changgong's mouth were slightly upturned, one arm was raised above his head, and the Qingzhou ghost rider changed formations, turning into two strands like a tide, protecting everyone's wings respectively, and the speed and unity of the movements were amazing.

Mulan looked at this Qingzhou ghost horse, which represented the highest military strength of Jing Wu, and thought of the battle that Gao Changgong commanded at the Great Wall: "It seems that you have not been idle all these years. ”

"Of course. Gao Changgong said with a little pride, "I occasionally have times when I'm not lazy. ”

When the sky darkened, the usual hustle and bustle of Jianye City calmed down a lot, and although the bustling streets were still brightly lit, the residential area was gradually shrouded in shadows.

The Sun family's old house has always been very quiet, but these days, it has become more and more noisy.

"I just said that I shouldn't have supported Zhuge Wanling to sit in the position of prime minister, you see, this Jing Wu has only been a few years, and he can't help but want to knife us. ”

"Stupid! Zhuge Wanling sits in the position of prime minister, do you support him, or do we support him? Isn't it he who fought for it? Over the years, he has also proved that he is the most suitable person for that position, even if Jing Wu has encountered a lot of difficulties in the past few years, which time has it not turned the corner in his hands?"

"Hey, look at what you're talking about. What if you turn the crisis into safety? You are still not our own person, and you do everything you can to say good things for outsiders. ”

"Where am I saying good things for outsiders? If you want to deal with Zhuge Wanling, you have to see this person clearly!"

If there is a eunuch in the palace here at this moment, I am afraid that I will be speechless in surprise. These people who are noisy in the courtyard, although they are not wearing court clothes now, but those faces, which one of them is not a court member who is qualified to show his face in the early court?

Jing Wu Chaotang from the day Zhuge Wanling was assassinated, General Gao Changgong nailed the assassin to death on the plaque with a spear, the small lord was probably frightened a lot, so long even did not hold an early dynasty gathering, state affairs are directly handed over to several ministers, and then they review and then hand over to the palace.

Naturally, this is in the hands of the palace. They all know that the lord of the small country is still young, and his playfulness has not yet been removed, and all affairs are naturally in the hands of Zhuge Wanling.

Although they are very dissatisfied, after all, Zhuge Wanling is the prime minister, and it is his duty to unify the government, unless these ministers take off their court clothes and directly set up a mountain to rebel, and take Zhuge Wanling down from the position above the ten thousand people under one person, otherwise they must accept the fact that Zhuge Wanling stepped on top of their heads.

The officials from the scholar clan were talking in twos and threes, sometimes indignant, sometimes frightened, and sometimes sad, although none of them had really been imprisoned these days, but who knew when, Zhuge Wanling would raise a butcher's knife against them?

Between the government and the opposition, everyone is already in danger.

And in the courtyard, in the large living room, there is an old man in light silk but calmly lying on the bamboo recliner, the night is a little stuffy, he gently shakes the pu fan in his left hand, holds a purple sand teapot in his right hand, slowly hands it to his mouth, his throat gurgles a few times, he sighs softly, and closes his eyes.

Everyone seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from him, not that these people were rejecting him, but in the face of this old man, everyone present was not qualified to be on an equal footing with him, let alone standing beside him and looking down condescendingly?

Naturally, these people only distanced themselves to show their respect for the elderly.

His name is Sun Zhong, and the current head of the Sun family, Sun Ji'an, is his youngest son. When the state of Wu was divided, the Sun family under his leadership had already occupied a large territory in the south of the Yangtze River, and was even considered to be the leader of the scholar clan who was most likely to unify the state of Wu.

And Jing Wu Liguo is also his handiwork, it can be said that if it were not for this old man's nod, Zhuge Wanling would not have been able to establish a great country of Jing Wu in such a short time. A few years ago, he served as a doctor in Jingwu, and he could compete with Zhuge Wanling in the court. Later, on the grounds of old age and decay, he resigned and lived in the old mansion.

But everyone knows that even if he doesn't leave the house, he still holds half of Jing Wu in his hands. Every word he said, the nobles had to weigh and listen.

"Old Sun, you can't sit idly by like this anymore. These days, the butcher's knife in Zhuge Wanling's hand is like cutting rice stubble after stubble, and many of our children have been coerced into it. My nephew died unjustly, but he just received some silver, so why did he go to the guillotine? When he died, my sister didn't want to live, and she cried in the room every day, and she was about to commit suicide by grabbing something, but I was so afraid that I even had a pair of scissors put away by my subordinates, for fear that something would happen. "The argument came to the end, in fact, everyone was left with a sigh, after all, people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, even if there is more argument about this kind of thing, it is just a complaint.

And the old man in front of him is obviously the one who can change the situation.

"Yes. Elder Sun, my students have all been imprisoned now, life and death are just a matter of the Tingwei Mansion, if I can't even keep a few of them, where will I have the face to be a teacher in the future?"

"And me...... Elder Sun, my student is also in prison......"

"Quietly, quietly. Sun Zhong stood beside Sun Ji'an, the head of the Sun family is now forty-six, his temples are slightly white, crow's feet and forehead lines have climbed the corners of his eyes and forehead, but the calmness between his eyebrows is becoming more and more intense.

"I know you've all suffered a lot of grievances these days. Even the side branches of my grandson's family are not having a good time today, let alone everyone. But my father has been in poor health recently, and he just asked a doctor to see him earlier, and he has to recuperate. Why don't you go back first, I will find a time to talk with my father, and when the result comes, I will naturally give you an answer. ”

Sun Ji'an's prevaricating words naturally couldn't satisfy everyone, but after all, this was the old house of the Sun family, and he asked everyone to leave first on the grounds that Old Man Sun was not in good health, and everyone couldn't stay here with a shy face.

In a short time, most of the people in the courtyard were already gone, and most of them had a few complaints in their mouths.

"Father. Sun Ji'an bent down and whispered in Sun Zhong's ear, "Gao Changgong has taken a hundred Qingzhou ghost horses out of the city." ”

Hearing Sun Ji'an's words, Sun Zhong's closed eyes moved, slowly opened a little, and were still half-closed: "How long have you been walking?"

"It's been an hour. Sun Ji'an said.

Sun Zhong closed his eyes and let out a long sigh: "It turns out ...... Is that so? Zhuge Wanling ......"

Sun Ji'an leaned closer and said, "Father, what's wrong?"

"No...... You call Sun Qing over. Sun Zhong waved his hand softly and ordered: "You go and appease the Shi clan, don't let these people do anything they will regret when their brains are hot, as for what to do next, I have to wait." ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for a guest. He ambushed ten dead soldiers, but without an order, he was not allowed to show any traces. ”

"Yes......"
