Rebel

Huben's fierce offensive finally caused the Han army guarding the south of Yuyang to collapse bit by bit.Yong Chi strangled Wu Zou and wore a battle robe, got on the horse path, stood on the towering pass gate, and looked at Yuyang County City from afar.

Seeing the sun set in the sky, the moon rose up, covering the earth with a layer of darkness.

Yong Chi suddenly thought - what is Gu Ao doing now?Was he furious at his subordinates and refused to admit the defeat; or was he worried in fear because his ally, Mr. Yu, turned his back on him?After all, the taste of being caught off guard may not be so good to taste.

If he took advantage of the trend and attacked Yuyang City, Gu Ao stood on the tower and saw tigers holding torches all over the city, would there be a trace of panic on his annoying face?

Yong Chi thought.

After all, Gu Ao didn't have much food and grass, so as long as he besieged instead of attacking, and separated Yuyang County City from Hanzhong's grain transport road for three to five days, Gu Ao would have to beg for surrender, right?Will he lead his troops to confront his tigers head-on? ——That's treason, risking the disgrace of the world, how dare he?If he dares, I really hope that I can kill him with my own hands, cut off his head, and the feeling of holding it in my hands must be good...

... If Gu Ao begged him to surrender, what kind of expression would he use?

In short, at that time, I will take over Yuyang, as well as the famous anti-military rebel army that is short of food.

...Thinking about it this way, Yong Chi suddenly wanted to know Gu Ao's situation at this time.

Just when Yongchi was immersed in the fantasy world he had constructed, suddenly a member of the Yong family trotted up to Yongchi's horse, bowed slightly, put a sealed letter in both hands, and called out: "My lord! "

Yong Chi came back to his senses, casually took the letter, opened it and glanced at it.If Yong Chi didn't look at it, he couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw it, and his face twisted instantly. Hu Ben, who had been standing by the side, took a step forward and asked, "...the regent?"

Yong Chi flicked his sleeves: "—a group of useless things!"

At this moment, a messenger also came in a hurry, followed by an eunuch in the palace. He took a few steps forward, took out a cylinder of purple brocade from his arms, and presented it to Yongchi respectfully. Huben beside him: "This is the imperial edict from the emperor to the regent."

"Understood, my father-in-law has worked hard, come here, so I can greet this father-in-law." That Huben took over.

"Hey hey...the regent is polite, polite." The eunuch bowed again and again.

At this time, a Huben bureaucrat came from the side: "My father-in-law, this way please."

After the messenger in the palace left, Huben handed the imperial decree to Yongchi, but Yongchi didn't accept it, but shook his head and said, "Don't look, I know what I'm talking about..."

Seeing that Yong Chi's tone changed, Huben unfolded the imperial decree and read it, and couldn't help cursing angrily: "It's unreasonable!" He continued to read, and cursed again: "It's unreasonable!"

Yong Chi's expression became gloomy, and he said: "What does the emperor mean, that he was urged by the five kings to withdraw the army?"

That Huben gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and persuaded Yongchi: "The Regent, you will be away, and the military order will not be accepted!"

Several other tigers also stepped forward: "The Regent!"

Yong Chi looked back at Yuyang City under the moonlight, which seemed to be close at hand.The dream-like phantom just now was shattered, and what remained was the chill in the clear night.

He didn't pay much attention to the person sitting on the dragon chair, so he didn't even look at the imperial decree... What Yong Chi really cares about is the secret letter that Xiang Xiang gave him.

"Tang Tang in the world, if you insist on not withdrawing your army, the five kings may propose to abolish you as king. This time the menacing attack is so fierce, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect you."

He has known for a long time that it was because of the incompetence of Prime Minister Yong in the past that he had the opportunity to reach a high position; but today it is also the same incompetence of Prime Minister Yong, and the great opportunity is in front of him, but he is not even willing to protect his own back for a moment.

Yong Chi suddenly whipped his horsewhip, and the Wuzhui let out a long hiss and screamed, and rushed down the horse path towards Guanxia.

……

When Gu Ao went to visit Dian Xiaonan, who was seriously injured and unconscious, Huai Xin happened to be there too.The candlelight illuminated the faces of the two of them, Huai Xin sat silently beside Dian Xiaonan, her complexion looked pale, when Gu Ao walked in, Huai Xin was talking to herself.

He put a purse on top of Dian Xiaonan's quilt, and said, "Inside this is a strand of your sister's hair, which I carried with me. Let her stay with you tonight. I hope you can return to the world from the gate of hell." Come."

Gu Ao approached Huai Xin, and asked in a low voice: "... Is the boy still awake?"

Huai Xin rubbed the red eye circles, and said: "Not yet... the wounds are all stitched up, so I'll just watch tonight."

Gu Ao sighed, and stopped behind Huai Xin, the flickering candlelight cast a long shadow on him.Huai Xin smelled the smell of wine from Gu Ao's body, and couldn't help frowning: "The enemy is at hand... the king of Han just drank wine?"

Gu Ao said: "... Just now I came to report that Yong Chi had withdrawn, so I couldn't help but drink a few cups."

Huai Xin was slightly taken aback: "...Could it be that the court has changed?"

Gu Ao nodded: "That's right." As he spoke, Gu Ao looked at Dian Xiaonan: "Don't tell General Dian about this." Huai Xin nodded, and Gu Ao's eyes moved to the embroidered purse on the quilt: " ...sorry."

Huai Xin said: "... For some reason, when I hugged her, her body seemed to still have a tinge of warmth. I was obviously afraid of heat, but at that time I didn't feel it at all."

Gu Ao suddenly remembered something and said: "...Do you still remember? When you were in the academy, you also hugged her."

Huai Xin nodded, "I remember."

Gu Ao said: "...I heard people say that the little girl lives in the tent next to you, I thought at the time that General Dian is back, you must propose marriage to him..."

Huai Xin was silent for a moment, and after a while, she looked up at Gu Ao: "...how many glasses of wine have you drank? Why are you drunk?"

Gu Ao lowered his head: "Yeah, why are you drunk?"

Huai Xin said: "...The King of Han is concerned that the prefect Yu will leave without saying goodbye."

Gu Ao said: "No."

Huai Xin asked: "Then why drink? This miserable victory is not worth celebrating."

Gu Ao paused for a moment, and said: "...It's just self-deprecating. This time... I made a fool of myself. Back then, Yongchi was able to plot against his adoptive father like that, and he was in the high position of regent, and won the hearts of the world's aristocratic family; I thought Let's see what kind of means he has and what he can do... It's just a small test... I didn't expect this person to be famous in vain. There are two strategies for people. Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and the poor family is gradually rising. He is going against the trend, so there is nothing to worry about...What I didn't expect was that this test... actually tested the depth of his own people..."

Huai Xin asked, "The King of Han is talking about the prefect Yu?"

Gu Ao said: "I'm talking about the informer."

"You already knew about that." Huai Xin glanced at Gu Ao, who turned around expressionlessly and walked out of the house.Huai Xin stared at the beautiful purse, a little dazed.
