Golden Stage

Duan Guihong didn't have the habit of showing off, he said bluntly: "It's Fu Tingyi."

Like a heavy hammer falling from the sky, it fell with a bang, smashing Jingning Hou from the surface into the ground.Fu Shen was completely dumbfounded, and raised his voice out of composure: "Who?"

He suspected that Duan Guihong was lying to him, or that he was hallucinating.

"Mr. Ying. Your third uncle." Duan Guihong finally shocked Fu Shen for a while, and for some reason he was a little proud, "Didn't expect that?"

Fu Tingyi, the well-known waste third master in the capital, a grass chicken that flew out of the phoenix's nest, a middle-aged dandy who is addicted to cultivating immortals, who is even older than a young lady, and who has not starved to death until now, thanks to a good pregnancy .

Even Fu Shen didn't expect anything from him. Who would have thought that he was involved in the big case that shocked the capital?

"He... For so many years, it was just a cover for him to ask immortals, but in fact he has been in touch with you in private?"

Fu Shen was shocked, but he still had enough brains. Duan Guihong made a quick call, and it was enough for him to think about the cause and effect.Qingxu Temple is quite famous in Beijing for its efficacious effects, and Fu Tingyi is also a lover of Taoism, so he will naturally not arouse suspicion when he goes in and out of Qingxu Temple.The Bailusan and smoking sets needed by the Taoist Chunyang can be sent to Fu Tingyi first, and then he can pass them on to the Taoist Chunyang. It's not a big deal... No wonder Yan Xiaohan and the others couldn't find out the source of the medicine in Taoist Chunyang's hands no matter how hard they searched.

"Your third uncle has kept a low profile for many years," Duan Guihong said, "Mostly Chunyang took advantage of his influence in Beijing. I contacted Shurang only after you went to Northern Xinjiang."

However, Fu Shen was rarely angered, and his face was gloomy: "If you hide your strength and bide your time, you should cultivate his immortality well! If you insist on getting involved in these crap things, how much lard is blinding your heart, or because you think Duke Ying's mansion has not collapsed enough?" quick?"

"Jing Yuan." Duan Guihong said calmly, "You have the same thinking as the people in the capital. You think that he can have today because of a good birth, right?"

"What is it!" Fu Shen said angrily, "Why can't he do it? No one stopped him when he was cultivating immortals! I managed to get Duke Ying's mansion out of trouble, but he rushed to jump into the fire pit, is he addicted? !"

"What are you yelling about?" Duan Guihong frowned, "You don't understand your third uncle. His mother moved her fetus when she was pregnant with him and gave birth prematurely, so uncle Rang has been in poor health since he was a child. I was worried about my younger brother, fearing that he would make trouble again, so I dared not let him practice martial arts. I have seen him a few times. When he was a child, he was thin and small, and he didn't like to talk. He hid in the house all day long and didn't go out. "

"Later, both Bocun and Zhongyan went to northern Xinjiang. He grew up in the capital alone. He was not very successful in civil and military affairs, but there were two capable elder brothers above him; in the end, the two elder brothers passed away one after another. My nephew picked the girder for him."

"Jingyuan, you're used to taking the lead, so you don't think it's a burden, but for your third uncle, it should be his responsibility. No matter how bad he is, he is still your elder. He has always felt guilty for not protecting you well."

Fu Shen faintly heard a bit of loneliness in his tone, and instantly understood Duan Guihong's unspoken guilt, which was exactly the same as Fu Tingyi's.

He froze for a moment.

Fu Shen has come to the present without relying on anyone, and he has long been used to facing difficulties, because he knows that no one will shelter him from the wind and rain, and hiding is useless.And since Fu Tingxin passed away, the age when he could act coquettishly and beg for mercy from his elders has passed forever. At this age, even if he pretends, he can't pretend to be spoiled by others. He can easily bend over and bow his head. Treat yourself as a junior who needs care.

"Okay, I'll take it all away, there's no need for it," Fu Shen murmured uncomfortably, "It's rare, I don't need people to love me, I'm already old, and I still engage in the tenderness of a tough man... Don't you get tired of it?" ?”

Duan Guihong: "..."

A bastard with rough skin and thick flesh, what's so painful about this kind of person!

"Tell him later, let him accept it as soon as possible." Fu Shen put his hand on his forehead, and forced a less aggressive tone, "I have my own plan, and I don't need the two of you to personally take risks. Please do me a favor and be pitiful." Poor little nephew, don't let me worry about you two besides worrying about Beiyan Army, okay?"

People from the Northern Yan Army have a unique sense of honesty and identity, so when Fu Shen talked to Duan Guihong as the head coach of the Northern Yan Army, he was straightforward and unreserved, even if the status of the king of Xiping County was higher than him. However, now that we are not discussing official business, Fu Shen calls himself "little nephew", Duan Guihong is more uncomfortable than him, and dryly said: "Success."

The two were awkwardly silent for a moment, Duan Guihong coughed dryly, and in order to cover up his unnaturalness, he changed the subject and said, "Have you eaten yet? If you don't leave, shall we have a drink tonight?"

Fu Shen nodded his head resignedly, and suddenly remembered something: "My lord, Qiu Yebai..."

"Once the plague spreads, it cannot be controlled by humans," Duan Guihong said with a wry smile, "The same goes for Qiuyebai. Even if I don't let Qiuyebai out from now on, the ones that have been spread will continue to multiply. It’s too late to think of killing the source now.”

Fu Shendao: "After the Jingchu incident, the imperial court will pay more attention to Qiuyebai. I guess it will issue a decree soon to prohibit the private cultivation of Qiuyebai. The spread has been uncontrollable, but the skill of making Bailusan It should still be in the hands of the prince, right?"

Duan Guihong nodded, and Fu Shen said: "If you stop here, I can't guarantee whether there will be peace in the world, but if you don't stop, the world will definitely not be peaceful. I hope the prince thinks twice about which is more important."

Although Bai Lusan has not yet become the most important source of money in Southwest China, the effect is promising. It is unrealistic for Duan Guihong to make the decision to cut off his arm so soon.Fu Shen didn't urge him either, just stop.The two drank all night, and Fu Shen was dragged by the Xiping County King above him to talk about the old affairs of the Northern Yan Army for half a night, and he fell dizzily on the bed in the guest room, feeling that he still overestimated Duan Guihong's level of stability.

When the sky was twilight, there was a thunderstorm outside. Fu Shen was sleeping very deeply, but for some reason, the thunder seemed to rang from his ears to his heart. He suddenly opened his eyes, and his heart beat wildly for no reason.

On April 29, the capital fell into the night.

The imperial city was as quiet as death, and all the palaces were closed. A few court ladies and eunuchs squatted tremblingly in the corner of the palace. Only the front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was brightly lit. Jin Wang Sun Yunchun was wearing armor, followed by You Nanya A team of ten guards and the elite soldiers of the Prince Jin's Mansion confronted the Beiya imperial guards in front of the palace.

Wei Xuzhou pressed the long knife in his hand, and his eyes widened angrily: "The palace is a forbidden place, unless there is an edict, no one is allowed to enter without permission. Is His Royal Highness Jin Wang planning to make trouble?"

Sun Yunchun sneered and said: "The watchdog dares to bark in front of me, get out!"

Under the light of the fire, General Wei's brows were as cold as iron, but his back was wet with cold sweat.Xu Shizheng, king of Jin, led his troops to enter through Chengtian Gate, first went to the East Palace to kill the prince, and then went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.The ten guards of Nanya have all turned to King Jin's side, and the palace has not received any news.Wei Xuzhou only learned the news when they entered the Xuanfu Gate, and hurriedly escorted the Beiya imperial guards, and finally stopped Jin Wang and his party in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The King of Jin is confident that the South Yamen will turn against each other, and the soldiers from the Beiya Imperial Army will not last long. Although Wei Xuzhou is not afraid of fighting, but looking at it coldly, he feels that the Jin King's rebellion this time will probably succeed .

"Who's outside?"

The door of the palace slowly opened, and the old and majestic voice sounded in the light of the fire and the night, and the figure of Emperor Yuantai appeared at the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation: "King Jin, what are you going to do?"

Sun Yunchun took a step forward: "Prince Sun Yunliang conspired to rebel, and his intentions were wrong. My ministers found out about his plot, and feared that there would be a change, so he immediately led troops into the palace to escort him. Now that the rebels have been executed, I came here to inform my father."

All the discerning people present knew that the crown prince was just an unlucky ghost who died in vain, and that King Jin had done his best to finish these righteous empty words without blinking his eyes or heartbeat.

Emperor Yuantai said: "Since the rebels have been punished, you can go back to your residence."

King Jin gestured with his hands behind his back, and an official in purple immediately stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said: "The crown prince has lost his virtue and has been killed by King Jin. The country is unstable, and people's minds are stable. May your majesty observe the public opinion, It is said that it is located in Jinwang, so as to obey the hope of heaven and man."

"Cui Jing." Emperor Yuantai glanced at him coldly and said, "Where is the imperial army?"

"Father, my son advises you not to count on it." Sun Yunchun's smile was distorted under the flickering light of the fire, reminiscent of a poisonous snake spitting out a letter: "All the guards in Nanya have already obeyed this king, don't say Your confidant Yan Xiaohan is not here, even if he is there, the Imperial Army of the Beiya Army would not have the strength to fight."

He intentionally paused for a moment, and raised his voice: "The Tangzhou army is already on the way to King Jingqin, I hope the emperor will make a decision soon!"

Just as Sun Yunchun finished speaking, a young eunuch stumbled in from outside the palace gate, his hat was crooked, and out of breath, he said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Beijing camp has come to report that tens of thousands of people are heading towards the capital. Come on, Commander Wang has led the Ruifeng and Lieilei battalions to stop them."

Shocked by the thunderous news, Emperor Yuantai took a step back, and fell down on the eunuch who was supporting him.

On April [-], outside Beiyan Liangkou Pass.

Horse-drawn carriages from the Wuluohu Department of the Zhe nationality lined up at the pass. The spring in the north came late, and the dawn was still very cold. The officers and soldiers guarding the pass were wrapped in thick coats, wiped off the condensation on their eyelashes, and yawned , muttered: "This year is early enough."

The Zhe man who escorted the carriage came forward with a smile on his face, took out his hand from his sleeve, and stuffed a handful of huge pearls into the officer's hand.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, but he didn't answer, and pushed his hand back: "Our general won't let you take these, take them back."

The Zhe tribe failed to harass them a few years ago, and they were punished several times by Beiyan iron cavalry, and now they pay tribute to Da Zhou every year.The Wuluo Hubu is rich in Dongzhu, and as a rule, it will pay tribute to the capital once a year in May and June.They came here before May this year. Although the Beiyan soldiers who were responsible for inspecting the year-old tribute felt a little strange, they didn't think too much. They walked to the carriage, picked up the tarpaulin on the box with the tip of a knife, and said, "Open the box." .”

Several Zhe people climbed into the carriage with a smile on their faces, untied the rope, and lifted the lid of the box.

With a whistle, the birds in the forest were startled.

The lid of the box was opened, and what was inside was not Dongzhu, but a cold and bright sword!

The Zhe people who escorted Sui Gong were all well-trained soldiers. They drew their knives from the box and rushed forward.Amidst the chilling sounds of hacking and killing, the Beiyan soldier who had rejected the pearl had a bloody gash in his chest, and fell face up in the flying dust.

He moved his cold and stiff fingers with difficulty, took out a firework from his waist, and pulled the fuse tremblingly——

With a sound of "噗呵", the Zheren who discovered his intentions returned a knife, and the sharp blade pierced through his flesh and blood, piercing his heart.

At the same time, the signal representing the enemy's attack rose into the sky, exploding bloody fireworks in his gradually expanding pupils.The Northern Yan Army twitched his body, looked up at the sky, and exhaled the last breath of cold air from his chest.

On April 26th, the [-]th year of Yuantai, at the beginning of the early dynasty, Sun Xun, the emperor of Yuantai, ordered the eunuch to read the imperial decree at the court, and it was said that he was located in Sun Yunchun, the king of Jin.

On the same day, the Wuluo Guards of the Zhe tribe attacked Beiyan Liangkou Pass garrison on the occasion of transporting Dongzhu. Not long after, a large number of Zhe tribe troops went south to knock down the pass, and Beiyan cavalry urgently dispatched troops to help. Repeat again.
