"Report!"

A scout in a hurry rushed to the tent of the barracks and knelt down with his fists clenched.

"What's wrong?" Chu Lian, who was interrupted by hesitation, spoke.

"Tell the prince that a messenger has been sent in Luoyang City, saying that there is a letter to be handed over to you. ”

"Let him in. Chu Lian didn't make a big move, he wanted to see what tricks the two people in the imperial city were going to play.

The spies stepped back.

Soon after, a man in a guard's shirt slowly walked into the tent, his eyes did not dare to look around, and he knelt on the ground after a slight pout.

"I've seen the King of the Northwest. ”

This guard was the guard who received the letter in the palace before, but this errand was not handed over to others, and he personally came out to deliver the letter. Thinking about it is naturally a matter of eating inside and out, in his thoughts, Luoyang City will be captured sooner or later. Instead of fighting and being embarrassed at that time, it is better to escape from Luoyang City now and abandon the darkness and make plans tomorrow morning.

"Chu Quan asked you to come?" Chu Lian said in a deep voice.

The guards didn't dare to talk too much nonsense and nodded yes.

Chu Lian, who was puzzled, opened the nameless paper envelope and took out the paper with the contents written inside.

The originally cloudy and uncertain face became more and more angry and hideous, and then the palm holding the letter slapped heavily on the table.

Frightened, the guards on the ground wanted to flatter, and they held it in their stomachs.

"Does Chu Quan think I'm a child? Is it because he started a rebellion with him, and now that the soldiers are in the city, they still want me to retire from the army, and what kind of brotherhood and jokes do you talk to me! What a big joke!"

The angry King of the Northwest, although he was afraid of conspiracy and trickery, this innocuous letter of withdrawal was nothing more than a slap in the face.

Coupled with the previous two times, this is now the third time, and a few words of such child's play can prevent him from entering Luoyang City with 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he is too indifferent to him.

He was a hero on the battlefield many years ago, and he did not become the king of the northwest for decades, and became a pampered waste.

"Come on, pull this person out and behead him, his head is hanging high on the banner, I want to use my head to tell Chu Quan the decision I made. ”

As soon as the guard who delivered the letter heard it, his head was cold to his feet, and he shouted: "Don't kill me, I'm here to take refuge in you, and the two sides won't fight and don't kill you, ...... prince."

The guards who were dragged away by several soldiers, their voices became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared into the crowd, and the generals in the barracks made disdainful expressions, and a mere guard was also qualified to defect, which was a big joke.

Soon after, a fresh human head, hanging high above the highest pennant, on top of the blood-drenched head, still maintained an unwilling look, and the appearance of an open mouth shouting loudly.

The soldiers guarding the city on the city wall of Luoyang looked at the head of the guard who had just come out of the city gate before, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The news quickly spread back to the palace, and the officials who were still waiting at the gate of the Shangchao couldn't help but feel a chill in their necks when they heard the news, and they felt the pain of their heads being hung on the flag.

If it weren't for the guards around him, he would have escaped from the palace and taken off his official uniform and honestly hid at home.

In the imperial study, the two people who also looked like old men listened to it, their expressions were different, and the man in the dragon robe was obviously more depressed, and the disappointment revealed in his eyes was even more obvious.

As for the fox-eyed old man, he is not proud, not gloating, but more like a spectator who has seen through the ending of the story.

The spies retreated, Chu Quan took a leisurely moment, and then stood up, without hiding the emotions that came out of his heart, and walked out.

"Where are you going?" said Gu Chunqiu.

"Now that the result is already the result you want to see, what else can I say, someone must go to court and listen to the heartfelt rambling of civil and military officials. ”

After Chu Quan finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back, without giving the fox old man any chance to refute.

Gu Chunqiu looked at the man who disappeared in the imperial study, this Ninety-Five Venerable who was familiar with him for most of his life, for the first time, let him hold the words in his mouth, spit out and spit out, swallow and swallow.

"I advised you not to be a woman at the beginning, but you thought I was cold-blooded and ruthless. ”

"The royal court family of the past dynasties, how can there be a reason that cannot be disputed, ruthless for a lifetime, how can it be soft when you are old, some decisions are not made by me, but by the people, the whole Luoyang City let you do it, and even those cowardly civil and military officials let you do it. ”

In the self-talk in the imperial study, no one answered, and naturally no one listened to this heart-to-heart explanation, let alone reached that person's ears. Even if it reaches the ears, the exhausted old man, who knows if he will listen to it.

Gu Chunqiu, who felt funny to himself, stepped out of the imperial study from the main entrance and walked towards the towering city wall in the distance.

Today, there is no wind and it is suitable for long travel, but it is not suitable to bring weapons and weapons.

The towering walls independently designed by the imperial palace imprison the entire palace like a high mountain, making this prosperous palace city hidden in the eyes of Luoyang City.

The "dignitaries" who live in the city can only see the whole picture of the entire palace through this city wall, and even the prosperity and end of Luoyang City. The only thing I can't see clearly is myself.

Gu Chunqiu stood tall and stood, enough to see the entire city wall of Luoyang City, the bamboo tube that had been held in his hand for a long time, as the cotton rope at the end of the tail slid down, a chirp sounded, and a projectile with black smoke flew into the sky.

The black pills exploded, and there were no brilliant and colorful fireworks, some were just black smoke spreading all over the sky, and there happened to be no wind today, and the black smoke was high in the sky, like ink applied to the sky.

The fox-eyed old man who threw away the bamboo tube looked up at the black smoke in the sky and muttered: "It is troublesome for you to deal with the long-winded civil and military officials, but the infamy of the world that deserves to die is only my back. ”

After saying these whining words, Gu Chunqiu laughed at himself.

"Coupled with insults to the Holy One, now it is even more sinful and deserves death. ”

At the door of the main hall of the upper court, the civil and military officials who had been waiting for a long time to no avail finally waited for the sound of the door opening, and the two eunuchs who opened the door slowly pushed open the wooden door, and then stood behind the door.

The civil and military officials who were originally fighting in chaos all regained their positions and waited for the early call of the early dynasty, which was a little late.

"Shang Dynasty!" After the old eunuch screamed, the civil and military officials stepped over the threshold and entered one by one, and the words that were originally muttered in a low voice were also indifferent, no one dared to speak, frowning and frowning, and could only stand in place with a stiff face.

After a while, the culprit who delayed the civil and military officials, slowly stepped onto the Jinluan Palace, and slowly sat on the dragon chair, his face faded by the majesty of the years, and only a small amount of surviving residual power was left on his face.

I have to say that this ninety-five dragon is really old.

The civil and military officials naturally did not have the courage to blame, and they were the culprits who delayed them for a long time, and all the complaints could only be swallowed in their stomachs, as for whether they would have stomach aches, maybe they would know when they went home.

"The national teacher has arrived!" the old eunuch shouted again.

Outside the gate of the court, the old man in fox-eyed Taoist clothes stepped into the door, and many officials burst out with strong hatred in their eyes, and the means of detaining them early in the morning were naturally the attention of the national teacher in front of him.

The national teacher has not been to the court for a long time, and everyone knows that the national teacher has the right not to go to the court, and it seems that it has indeed reached a critical juncture. Hate is hateful, but I still hope that the national teacher can come up with a way to retreat from the enemy.

As an official in a powerful position, no one wants to give up the life of drunkenness and gold in front of him. They don't want to, and they won't agree.

Gu Chunqiu politely bowed to the man on the dragon chair.

"Gu Chunqiu has seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live. ”

Chu Quan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at Gu Chunqiu, who was bending over and talking nonsense, and did not say the sentence of "no courtesy"!

Secretly glanced at the founding teacher who was given special care, one person was above 10,000 people, and the man known as the thinker of the troubled times-Gu Chunqiu!
