Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Zhao Gang rode his horse around the gate of the barracks, then ran back and asked, "What's going on outside? Our barracks is surrounded by people, who committed the crime?"

Soldiers will inevitably have a more aggressive personality. There are many people who fight when they disagree with each other. In the past, when King Shun didn't come, they would fight if they fought. No one dared to come to the barracks, but after the prince came, Pay attention to handling affairs in accordance with the law, once caught a typical case and was whipped [-] lashes by General Kou himself. Since then, the common people know that soldiers also have to be reasonable.

Zhao Gang once suspected that someone had committed a major crime, which caused the people to besiege the barracks in anger, "Which bastard dares to commit crimes against the wind, I will kill him!"

Guo Fu rushed over when he heard the sound, and was startled when he heard that hundreds of people had gathered outside, "What are they here for? Didn't they say anything?"

"No, all of them looked at the gate of the barracks like dead parents, and didn't say anything. Damn, I haven't heard of any major incidents recently."

Guo Fu also ran to take a look, and then he was stunned by the dense crowd. He came back and patted his chest and said, "It's too scary, this is going to cause a civil uprising, has our Kou family army finally come to this day? But Everyone has been very honest recently, and they haven't killed people or done bad things."

The two murmured for a while, and agreed that the source should be found out first, so they ordered that the soldiers not be allowed to leave the camp, and all gathered in the school grounds to wait for interrogation.

Guo Fu ran to tell Kou Xiao that the latter was discussing with a group of stewards about the construction of the new barracks, and Cao Ji and Zhong Wen were listening to his orders.

He didn't dare to interrupt Kou Xiao, he winked at Cao Ji, who opened his mouth and asked silently, "What's the matter?"

Guo Fu used his hands and words to give him code words, telling him that something serious happened. Cao Ji thought it was his fault, and apologized to Kou Xiao, and ran out of the conference hall.

"What's wrong?" Cao Ji asked in a low voice.

Guo Fu hurriedly said: "A lot of people have come from outside the barracks, blocking the gates, and the number is still increasing. What should we do? Let the general come out."

"What's the matter? What are they here for?"

"I don't know. Brother Zhao called everyone to the school grounds to prevent the offenders from escaping. Do you want to invite the general?"

Cao Ji couldn't make the decision, such a big matter must be decided by the general, so he pushed Guo Fu to go in, "Speak it, you will be more favored."

Guo Fu retorted with a dark face: "If the general or the prince hears this, I won't have to live."

Kou Xiao heard the movement, threw the matter to Zhong Wen, and nodded towards the two: "Go out and talk about something."

As soon as he went out, Kou Xiao saw a crowd gathered in the distance from the mountainside, estimated to be several hundred, and the military camp has not recruited new people recently, so why are there so many people surrounded.

Kou Xiao didn't think about bad things. After all, the event that attracted so many people to besiege the military camp must be a big event, and the big event will definitely be heard in his ears immediately.

Guo Fu asked nervously: "General, just now, my subordinates went down to take a look. Their expressions were full of pity, and some even shed tears. They must be dead. Otherwise, how could this happen? But who in the city can cause such a big commotion?"

Kou Xiao's heart skipped a beat, could it be that something happened to the prince?Impossible, impossible, I was fine when I left home in the morning, and if something happened to the prince, there must be a report soon, it is impossible to wait for the people to come and the news hasn't come yet.

"Find someone to ask what's going on. If someone makes trouble, invite the person in charge to come in. Be more polite."

Guo Fu didn't dare to leave this matter to others, so he went in person, Kou Xiao drove Cao Ji back to the meeting hall, "You and Zhong Wen can handle the rest, those managers are very smart, don't be fooled by them gone."

Cao Ji hesitated and asked: "No, they are all the prince's people."

Kou Xiao looked at him speechlessly, and sneered: "The prince has too many people, and those who can manage things are shrewd, don't be taken advantage of by them, the prince will not care about such things."

Cao Ji saw that the stewards of the palace were all rich and powerful, and they really didn't look easy to get along with. He thought to himself: It would be great if the military adviser was here. No one can compare to him in terms of shrewdness.

Guo Fu ran to the gate of the barracks, and he brought a hundred soldiers of the Kou family behind him to help out. He stood at the gate and asked loudly, "Do you know where this is? Gathering crowds in the barracks is a serious crime!"

The people in the front row stepped back one after another, and said loudly, "Vice General Guo, we are not causing trouble, we just came to take a look."

Guo Fu didn't believe this kind of nonsense, so he came to visit the barracks for nothing, how could he have the guts?

"Okay, come out and explain the matter clearly personally, but I, Kou Jiajun, did something wrong? If so, please explain in detail. Our general will decide whether it is right or wrong."

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. I didn't expect such a misunderstanding to be caused, and I was a little embarrassed. Someone said: "Vice General Guo, it's okay. We...we just stand and look at the scenery, haha."

Guo Fu pointed at him, and immediately two burly soldiers rushed out and dragged the man over. Everyone was shocked and retreated hastily, but there were too many people, and soon some were pushed to the ground.

Seeing this, Guo Fu thought they were afraid of Kou's army, and shouted: "I haven't done anything to you yet, why are you nervous, just stand still!"

After the crowd calmed down, Guo Fu grabbed the people on the ground and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

The man shook his head and cried, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! We are... we just came to see the general, and we are afraid that he will be sad."

Guo Fu was confused, what does this have to do with General Kou?Is it the prince's business?

He gestured his fist and said threateningly: "Be clear, why should our general be sad?"

"You don't know yet, the emperor sent someone to pass the decree again. I don't know what they said, and then the prince sent someone to Kou's house to propose marriage. He said that he wanted to marry Kou Sanniang, and the dowry was already on the way."

"Ah..." Guo Fu, as a person who knows half of the inside story, only knows that their general and the prince have an affair, and it is an inseparable kind. He also knows that Kou Sanniang is indeed dead, and it is impossible for such a person to marry The prince, but he thought it was the rumor that the prince cast doubts in order to get a son to come out, and it was also a rumor spread in order to be able to stay with the general.

In particular, he also knew that there was an extra baby in the palace. It is said that the surname was Li, so the prince must have found it to deceive others, but at this time the prince asked someone to carry the dowry to Kou's mansion to hire him. What's the reason?

It can't be to hire a general, can it?Guo Fu shook his head to get rid of this absurd idea, and then asked: "You really heard that the prince said that you are hiring Kou Sanniang?"

"Actually, I didn't hear it with my own ears, but everyone said so."

"Then you are here to see the general's jokes?" Guo Fu glared angrily, and raised his fists high again, "Who the prince wants to hire is his business, what does it have to do with our general?"

Guo Fu thought to himself: Even if the whole city sees the prince and the general love each other, they can't admit it.

"It's okay, it's okay, we just... just come and take a look." Everyone's voice became weaker and weaker, and then someone turned around and ran away, shouting: "Oh, the scenery here is nothing to see, let's go."

A large group of people responded and ran away with a whoosh, and the rest of them also ran away in fear of being beaten when they saw the Kou family's army being aggressive one by one.

The man caught by Guo Fu begged: "Vice General Guo, let the grassroots go, it's all a misunderstanding, everyone just wants to guard the general here, lest he do impulsive things after hearing the news, after all, there are still The emperor is here."

Guo Fu asked in disbelief: "Are you afraid that the general will intercept the recruiting team on impulse?"

The man shrank his neck and replied cautiously: "No, we are afraid that the general will get angry and lead the troops to kill those people."

Guo Fu threw him away, put his hands on his hips and cursed: "Bah! Is our general the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately?"

The man got up from the ground, backed up and said, "General, calm down, it's the fault of the grass-roots, the grass-roots should get out!"

Guo Fu cursed "Get lost", then stood at the door in a daze.

The little soldier on the side came up and asked, "Vice General Guo, what should we do? Are you going to report it to the general?"

"Can you not report it?"

"Hehe, they all left anyway, and the general said it's all right when he asked. If you tell about the prince's marriage proposal, the general will be sad, right?"

Guo Fu knew that the whole army... no, the whole city knew about the general and the prince, and everyone took it for granted that the general would be angry and sad when he heard the news that the prince was going to get married.

"But Kou Sanniang doesn't exist, maybe the prince didn't go after Kou Sanniang?"

"Of course not, but outsiders don't know. The prince can only say that he is going to Kou Sanniang. Can he still say that he wants to marry General Kou?"

"You're right." Guo Fu also thinks so. The bad thing about this matter is that their generals won't get a title. Obviously he is the prince's sweetheart, but they want to watch the prince marry someone else, even if it's a dead person. It doesn't work either.

"You take two people into the city to find out the news and see when the dowry will be delivered. The deputy general will find a reason to trip the general and prevent him from returning to the city."

"Yes, I'll go right now." The soldier rode away with two companions. Guo Fu looked worried and didn't know how to hide the news.

Kou Xiao went to the school grounds, and saw that Zhao Gang had indeed summoned all the staff here, and he had a serious face, and he was reciting military discipline aloud. Every time he read a sentence, he asked: "You guys have to reflect on yourself, can you do it, if you violate it? Those who are guilty, stand up and confess, otherwise, when they are found out, they will be dealt with severely!"

Most of the soldiers were at a loss, but some people speculated that something must have happened, otherwise Vice General Zhao couldn't be so serious.

Seeing General Kou on the scene, everyone straightened their backs, held their breath, and looked around from the corner of their eyes to see who committed the crime.

With such a large formation, it is estimated that according to military law, they will have to be decapitated.

Kou Xiao didn't say anything, and stood aside to wait for news from Guo Fu, while Zhao Gang was also waiting.

Guo Fu came late, and Zhao Gang was hoarse. Seeing him, he asked, "Why have you been here for so long? Have you asked clearly?"

Guo Fu glanced at Kou Xiao, nodded, and gave him winks desperately.

Zhao Gang didn't know why, and asked, "Why do your eyelids keep twitching? Are you sick?"

Guo Fu glared at him, and ran to Kou Xiao to report, "General, the matter has been clarified, and it's not a big deal. They just... just thought the scenery here is good, so they came to see it together, and now they've all left. .”

Kou Xiao sneered: "You think this general is a fool?"

Guo Fu patted his chest and assured: "It's true. I was persuaded away by my subordinates after a few words. If you don't believe me, send someone to check. There must be no one here."

"What's the matter? Is it related to the general or the prince?"

Guo Fu lowered his hand slowly, and said with a sneer, "Why do you think so?"

How can Kou Xiao not see his little Jiujiu, he and Guo Fu have been friends for more than ten years, "Are you talking about it yourself or are you going to tell it in the torture chamber?"

Guo Fu swallowed, and closed his eyes in fright, "General, it's better not to ask, it's really no big deal, you..."

"Come on!" Kou Xiao yelled loudly, and Guo Fu immediately faltered, "General, let me tell you! ... Yes, that's right, the emperor sent someone here, and I heard that the prince's marriage has been withdrawn, but, but the prince sent someone Carrying the dowry to the Kou family to propose marriage."

Fearing that Kou Xiao would be impulsive, he hastily added: "This must be for others to see. Even if the prince marries a girl from the Kou family, it is impossible for the prince to marry a girl from the Kou family. The prince may have some difficulties."

After Guo Fu finished speaking, he found that his general had a strange expression, like happy, but also angry, slightly embarrassed, did the prince mention it beforehand?

Kou Xiao was indeed in a complicated mood. He didn't know why Li Xu went to propose marriage without notifying him in advance. Of course, he was definitely not the person who proposed marriage to the outside world, but at this time, shouldn't he sit in Kou's mansion and exercise The elder brother's right?

Kou Xiao looked at the soldiers standing silently below, and felt a little embarrassed again, "Hey, since we have nothing to do, let's leave."

When the general spoke, everyone naturally obeyed, but everyone had doubts in their hearts: What happened?Why both of them look strange.

When the crowd dispersed, Kou Xiao walked out with his hands behind his back, "I have something to do at home, let's go first."

Everyone didn't dare to stop them, and then saw him stop and turned around to explain: "Today, everyone has been standing for so long for no reason. Let's add more meat for dinner. If you are full, you can also drink some wine. Just don't delay tomorrow's practice." Said After finishing, Kou Xiao left under everyone's shocked eyes.

"Did I hear you right? What a good day today, why do you want to add wine and meat?" Zhao Gang became more and more confused. Why did he stand for so long for no reason? How long has it been?And isn't this a matter of course?

Guo Fu sighed, and said: "Today is really a good day, the day when the prince is hired."

"Ah..." Zhao Gang and several other lieutenants yelled together, and then everyone surrounded Guo Fu and asked, "Is it true? Who is the prince asking for marriage?"

"The Kou family."

"Kou Sanniang?" Zhao Gang knew that this person was not alive, but who else was there besides her?

Guo Fu thought for a while, pushed aside the encirclement, and chased after Kou Xiao, "I'll send the general back to the city!"

Everyone saw that he ran away, and felt that the matter was more serious. Could it be that the general left in such a hurry to go back and make trouble with the prince?

But it doesn't look like it. I was very happy to see it just now, and even rewarded the whole army with wine and meat.

"The more it is like this, the more it shows that the general is in a heavy heart. He just forced a smile on his face. The wine and meat must be just to save face for the prince. He must be very sad inside."

Everyone suddenly realized, "So that's the case, the general is really difficult, will he get into trouble with the prince when he goes back?"

Everyone agreed that Kou Xiao would suffer from this matter, and even if he made a fuss, he didn't dare to make a big fuss. After all, he was the master of Nanyue, and General Kou had no position to get angry.

"Come on, let's go and have a look too. If there is a trouble, we can also help the general get a few sticks."

"That's right, I have to watch the general too, lest he do something stupid impulsively."
