"Dangdangdang......" A rapid knock sounded in the Willow Wind Building in the middle of the night.

Lao Rui saw clearly through the dark hole that the person who came was actually a beggar in tattered clothes.

"Squeak!" only a crack opened in the door, and a silver streak or two came out of it.

"Let's go!" Lao Rui thought that he was a beggar begging for food, and took out a silver strip or two to send him away.

"I'm not a beggar, I have something to find Li Zhen and Li Shaoxia, please pass it on, and say it's a surname Hu!" The beggar's voice sounded weird.

As soon as Lao Rui heard that this person actually knew that Li Gongzi was here, he might be Li Zhen's old friend, and now that he was so down, Lao Rui had no choice but to spread the word.

Late at night, people were already asleep, Li Zhen was sleeping soundly with Ziyan in his arms, and Lao Rui shook the copper bell to wake them up.

"It's Lao Rui, what's the situation? I'll go up and take a look!" Li Zhenteng sat up suddenly, hurriedly put on his clothes and went out.

"What's wrong? Lao Rui?" Li Zhen came out in a panic, looking at Lao Rui who was also sleepy, with only a coat on his body, and hurriedly asked.

"Li Gongzi, there is a beggar surnamed Hu outside who said that he wants to see you, I am afraid that your old friend left him in the front hall, would you like to take a look?" said Lao Rui in a slightly hoarse voice.

"A beggar surnamed Hu?" When Li Zhen heard that his surname was Hu, his first reaction was Gonggong Hu, but how did Gonggong Hu become a beggar, which made him a little confused.

"Okay, I'll go take a look!" Li Zhen guessed that it should be Gonggong Hu, and he was the only one he knew surnamed Hu in the capital, Li Zhen hurriedly walked to the front hall.

"Grandpa Hu, it's really you, why did you become like this?" Li Zhen looked at an old man in ragged clothes sitting in the front hall, his down-and-out appearance was really different from the previous manager Hu in brocade clothes, Li Zhen asked in surprise.

"Li Shaoxia, don't mention it, everything is messed up. Gonggong Hu shook his head and sighed.

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time. Although Li Zhen knew about some changes in the imperial court, he still wanted to hear the people in the palace tell the truth of the matter.

"I said goodbye to you, I thought that I would take Duan Qingyu to fight the Confucians, but how did I know that Liu Zhi actually usurped the throne with an iron heart, and none of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty dared to stand up and say a fair word, the emperor and Lord Duan are now trapped on Qingliang Island, and life and death are uncertain!"

"Then how did you become like this?" Li Zhen asked curiously when he saw that Gonggong Hu was so embarrassed.

"After Liu Zhi ascended the throne, he gave amnesty to the world! But he didn't pay attention to the old people of the previous dynasty, and he brutally exterminated the eunuchs and palace maids who had served the emperor before, and I was the target of purge! I was originally sent to the prison, but some of the people in the prison had some friendship with me, and secretly gave me the key, so that I ran out without permission, and I tried every means to pretend to be a beggar to find here. Gonggong Hu sighed.

"It's not...... Gonggong Hu, your old man's martial arts are outstanding, should it be like this?" Li Zhen has also played with Hu Gonggong Bus before, and has experienced his high moves, so it shouldn't be a problem to retreat in the court!

"Li Shaoxia, do you know something, our new emperor is not an ordinary person, although he is not deeply educated, but he has practiced a skill, and there are thirteen Taibao under his command, each of them is a master of one top, and it is difficult for the old man to get out!"

"What? You said that Liu Zhi is also a cultivator?" Li Zhen had an even more incredible understanding of the imperial court.

"Shaoxia, you don't know, the Wu Dynasty has a mysterious royal mastery since ancient times, when the first emperor left, Emperor Wuling was still young, the first emperor entrusted this royal mastery to Liu Ji, I thought that Liu Ji was a loyal minister, how do you know that people's hearts are unpredictable, Liu Ji fell into an extricable cultivation as soon as he got the royal mastery, and taught it to his son Liu Zhi, who had already thrown the trust of the first emperor to the clouds, and after Emperor Wuling sat in the court, Liu Ji not only completely overthrew the emperor in power, but also did not teach the emperor in martial arts cultivation at all。 When Gonggong Hu remembered the past, he was also melancholy.

People are always selfish, no matter how good the relationship is, they will always seem so fragile and small in the face of power.

"Grandpa Hu, what should we do next?" Li Zhen wanted to probe his tone.

"Li Shaoxia, I have an old bone, and I can't move anymore, watching this country change hands, speaking from my heart, I am also a little reluctant, and I have cheapened those villains of the Liu family in vain. Gonggong Hu lowered his head and sighed.

"As the saying goes, the times make heroes, although Liu Zhi usurped power and seized the throne and made the world shameless, but if this Zhou Dynasty can make people's hearts calm and the world is peaceful, it is not a bad thing!" Li Zhen deliberately said this to see Gonggong Hu's bottom line.

"Li Shaoxia, I know better than you what kind of person Liu Zhi is, if he can really govern the world well, I naturally have nothing to say, but that is a hungry wolf, a person who never knows how to be satisfied, where he will take the giant ship of the country, it is really still unknown, can Liu Ji tolerate his son to sit firmly in the country? Don't forget that all the armies in the world are in the hands of Liu Ji's four major gates, will Song, Wang, Qin, and Zhao fully accept this new king?"

"On the surface, it looks calm, but once those people show their true faces, the future will be turbulent!"

"Father-in-law Hu, I have been living in Liufeng Building for the past few days, if there is anything, I will look for you!" Li Zhen asked Lao Rui to arrange a guest room for Father-in-law Hu, and rested around.

The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, there was a noisy noise in the capital.

Li Zhen didn't sleep well all night, and he was woken up in the morning, so he dressed and went out to inspect.

The street is not a lively hawking, but a hurried crowd, people are fleeing for their lives in a hurry, as if there is a tiger chasing behind, such a scene reminds Li Zhen of the scene of the siege of Liangzhou City by Waha many years ago, the vicissitudes of the world, so many years have passed, Li Zhen has changed from a hairy boy to a man who stands up to the sky, a skill, now standing in the core city of the country, he walked forward step by step, let the wind blow his hair, a robe swaying in the wind messy dance.

"Senior, I don't know why you are so flustered, is there something wrong?" Li Zhen asked an uncle who was still desperately hurrying with a large bag in his hand.

"Oh, young man, don't you know yet? The king of the southeast has been killed, and I am going to the countryside to join my relatives!" the old man said breathlessly, and walked towards the city gate without looking back.

"Wang Lang is still killed!" Li Zhen stood in place and was stunned, the turmoil he wanted to prevent still happened as scheduled, like a monstrous flood, it was really difficult to stop him alone, Li Zhen felt an unprecedented loss and confusion.

War will always come unexpectedly, not giving you a little breathing space, the people are displaced, in exchange for the selfish desires of those in power, it can really be said that the sword and sword shadow heroes, pity the world!

Li Zhen secretly swore in his heart that this time he must not let the tragic situation in Liangzhou happen again, the people here are innocent, and the damned thing is that Liu Zhi is the court official of those fish and meat people! There is also the incompetent Emperor Wuling and Wang Lang who provoked the war!

Li Zhen desperately rushed towards the city gate.

The inner and outer gates of the capital have long been tightly locked, and no one is allowed to flee for their lives, and the emperor has ordered the people in the city to live and die together with the capital.

"This damn Liu Zhi, why didn't he come to defend the city with all his skills? In the Jinluan Palace, he is enjoying singing and dancing, but the soldiers here are preparing for a bloody battle, and the people are scattering and fleeing, this is the peaceful and prosperous era he governs?" Li Zhen looked at the large number of people crowded at the gate of the city, and the soldiers defending the city had already pointed the finger at the people who were about to leave the city.

Li Zhen was furious, and he suddenly rushed to the front of the crowd with all his might.

"Open the city gate and let the people out of the city!" Li Zhen said coldly looking at these city guards.

"Bold! The emperor has ordered that Wang Lang's troops have been stationed thirty miles outside the capital, and no one is allowed to open the city gate and join the enemy!" A bearded officer and soldier guarding the city saw Li Zhen openly disobeying the holy order, and walked over with a murderous face.

"Which emperor's order is this? Don't you see that these are ordinary and unarmed people? If they want to find a way to live, do you have to obstruct them?" Li Zhen shouted violently.

"That is, we don't take refuge in the enemy, we take refuge in the countryside!"

"Yes, the official is kind enough to let us out!"

The people at the gate of the city heard that Li Zhen was saying good things for them, and they also cheered one after another.

"Shut up for me, whoever dares to bring up the matter of the city again today, don't blame me for being dishonest with this silver spear!" The bearded officer and soldier slammed the silver spear in his hand to the ground, and smashed the bluestone ground, and the people became silent, as if they were afraid that the general would hit the silver spear on their heads, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

Li Zhen suddenly had a familiar feeling when he saw this silver spear, the Flame General in the Heavenly Prison was also the same blade, the silver spear, it was exactly the same, could it be that they were from the same school?

Li Zhen had seen the power of General Agni's silver spear, and he didn't know how much this official's cultivation was.

"Poof!"

Li Zhen exerted force under his feet, and jumped onto the city tower more than ten feet high!

"Wow!" the people at the city gate let out a burst of exclamation.

Li Zhen used all his spiritual power, from top to bottom, and smashed the strong city gate with a blood shield, and the huge city gate was violently slammed by Li Zhen, trembling all at once.

"Bold demons, dare to spread wild here?" bearded officers and soldiers, armed with silver spears, flew from under the city gate and stabbed them.

The people watched two ordinary people suddenly fly off the wall at the gate of the city, fight, and everyone dispersed, it was really the feeling of seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
