Chapter Seventy-One: Alone in the capital

The two of them changed their thoughts so quickly, which made Tian Yong a little uncomfortable, he rubbed his forehead vigorously, with a look of incomprehension, "Are you talking about Hou Jing? Hasn't he been fighting with the Turks in Saibei?"

Zhou Yi said: "That's right, he has indeed won some battles over the years, and while resisting the Turks for the imperial court, he has also firmly established his position in the army, which is also the capital he shows off in the court." ”

"Can he win against the Turks? He's better than his father. In those days, Hou Yue held the elite division of our dynasty, but he was defeated and retreated in the battle with the Turks! He clung to the power of the army, blindly lied to the imperial court about the military situation, and exaggerated the combat strength of the Turkic soldiers, in order to seek an opportunity to make peace with the Turks! It was precisely his weakness and the court's ignorance of the truth that gave birth to the arrogance and arrogance of the Turks. As soon as he mentioned this humiliating history of losing power and seeking peace, Tian Yong clenched his fists, wishing that he was a soldier on the battlefield back then, even if he was broken bones, he wanted to let the Hu people see my Central Plains man's determination to defend the territory without fear of strong enemies!

"I don't think so!" Zhou Yi sneered, "In the past few years, there has been discord within the Turks, and the turmoil for years has greatly reduced their strength, on the contrary, Hou Jing has increased his efforts to gather military power after inheriting his father's position, and the Turks have a small group of soldiers and horses to attack, so he will encircle and suppress them with large troops, in contrast, this has not played the courage of my Central Plains boy! His father has a lot of dirt on his body, so he urgently needs some victories to establish his prestige for the Hou family, and the successive battles and victories are just a cover for him to invite merit for himself. ”

Yuegu looked at him with surprised eyes, "You say so, do you have a credential?"

Zhou Yi said lightly: "Isn't what I said wrong?"

Yuegu said: "I won't tell you anything, the news that Huang Kui has gotten over the years is almost the same as what you said! That Hou Jing can be said to be a hundred responses among the military generals of the DPRK and China, and the people who ask for merit for him are all over the ministry, and even the emperor is in awe of him!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Zhou Yi with a blink of an eye, "How did you know about this news when you first came to the north?"

Zhou Yi stared at his eyebrows and said in a sonorous voice: "I have already made clear to my mother-in-law that it is something I must do in my heart to find out the crimes of those people who framed Baiheshan in the past and stop their greater conspiracy! ”

Although he said this on the surface, his psychology was extremely clear, most of these news came from Gongsun Mansion, and he was unwilling to explain the truth at this time, and he tried his best to keep it a secret for Shiweng.

Yue Gu smiled comfortably, "You are so hearted, it seems that I am too worried." ”

"But there is one person, I feel more curious, his location is also extremely prominent, and he also has enough strength to stir up this pool of troubled waters on the rivers and lakes!"

"Who?"

"Be a court master!"

"Yi'er, you don't have to doubt him," Tian Yong said in a firm tone, "Ten years ago, when your father was in trouble, Hou Jing advocated a heavy punishment for Baiheshan, but this Taifu just stood on the opposite side of him, and the two scholars of the military department and the official department at that time tried their best to exonerate your father. ”

"Who told you this?" Zhou Yi asked.

"It was Yu Guangling, Li He of the Ministry of War at that time, and Zhai Xiong of the Ministry of Officials, all of whom supported Baihe Mountain under his pleading. ”

The corners of Zhou Yi's mouth were the same, and there was a look of doubt in his eyes, "What can this mean! Taifu is a very popular minister, and the only opponent in the court may be Hou Jing, he and Hou Jing are not in harmony, so standing on the opposite side of Hou Jing to help this Baiheshan say a few good words, this does not mean that he really wants to let Baiheshan be exempted from responsibility!"

The two listened, and they couldn't grasp his judgment, Zhou Yi said: "I'm just guessing, until I get definite evidence, I won't charge someone as a villain behind the scenes, but I will definitely not let go of any suspicious person." ”

He paused and saluted the two, "One thing is certain, it must be some kind of force in the DPRK and China that has penetrated deep into the rivers and lakes, and they buy murderers and do whatever it takes to achieve their goals! So I am going to go to the capital, and I must find out who is stirring up the situation there! Master Tai, mother-in-law, I have come to bid farewell to you." ”

Tian Yong closed his eyes slightly and sighed deeply, this stubborn temperament on Zhou Yi's body is very similar to when he was young, although it is said that now the army is in chaos, and there is an undercurrent surging in the capital, even if he is not worried about Zhou Yi's safety, in the face of his such cold words, he has no words to refute!

Zhou Yi said goodbye to the two of them and came to Yufu's guest room, when the snow had not stopped, he pulled out the Xuanyuan sword, and in the dim night, reflecting the lantern hanging high on the door frame, he danced the sword in the wind and snow. In an instant, the quiet night was completely disrupted by his buzzing blade.

"Good swordsmanship!"

Yufu stood at the door and watched him finish dancing that set of swordsmanship, and couldn't help but admire from the bottom of her heart. However, there was an uneasy trepidation in her joyful countenance, and she could not tell what the reason for this feeling was. She also seemed to guess that Zhou Yi must have come to ask her for something.

Zhou Yi put away the sword, walked to Yufu's side, and reached out to remove the snow that had fallen from her hair.

"Mother, Yi'er has grown up, whether you are happy or not, there are some things I have to make clear to you in person!"

Yufu's heart trembled, she closed her eyes and turned her head to the side, her eyes were red, and she seemed to be about to cry.

"When I went to Wuxiang Mountain with you ten years ago, I said that if one day I grow into an iron-clad man, I will never allow others to add new wounds to you!"

"But, Yi'er!" Yufu's tears immediately flowed out, "Now my mother doesn't want anything, I just want you to be by my mother's side, wait for my mother to grow old, and I won't ask for anything else!"

"What about my brother...... If the real murderer is not eliminated, where in the world is the place where his soul returns?"

As he spoke, huge tears rolled down.

Zhou Yi knelt in the snow, and did not dare to look at Yufu's face, "Mother, the answer is in front of me, I want to uncover it, I want to let the deceased ...... Rest in peace!"

Under the wind and snow, Zhou Yi kowtowed three times in succession, and when he looked up again, Yufu had already walked away silently, and that figure made people dare not look at it directly!

Zhou Yi wiped his tears, put away the Xuanyuan sword, still wrapped it in the green linen, and that night, he quietly left Huaichu and rode a horse to the capital.
