Chapter 129
Du Motian did bring a message from Yang Feng. As soon as he found out that Marquis Juan was missing, he went to the Northern Army. However, it was not easy for an unofficial head of the Marquis to enter the Yuanmen. He waited a whole day before being allowed to enter the camp. It took a long time to get Yang Feng's face-to-face advice.
The next thing is to find the whereabouts of the tired Hou.
Du Chuanyun once followed Ma Da, but unfortunately he was inexperienced and lost his goal in the wilderness. Du Motian's method of finding someone was relatively simple. , It took two days for him to finally find Wanhou in the riverside village of Kidnapper Lake.
"It's really hard to find you." The old man drank a large bowl of water and looked at the three people in the room.
Chao Yongsi's body was removed, and the King of the East Sea was sitting on a stool in the corner, with a gloomy expression on his face.
"Teacher Du, this is the hero of the Drunken Immortal Building in Xiaochunfang, who is called dead..."
Don't die and said coldly, "Stop, I'm a cook, not a hero, and I'm not here to meet a 'hero'."
Du Motian smiled and cupped his hands, said "Long Yang", turned to Hou Wan, and put away his smile, "Is it convenient to speak here?"
Han Ruzi nodded, the safety of the entire Hebian Village was tied to the King of the East Sea, and he would never let this younger brother out of his sight again.
"Yang Gong hopes that Marquis Tien will go to the Northern Army immediately."
"Well." Han Ruzi believed in Yang Feng, but he also needed to hear the reason.
Du Motian glanced at the East Sea King again and lowered his voice slightly, "Yang Gong said that a large number of royal relatives and relatives have been hinted by the court, and they are all asking for war and volunteering to join the army to serve the country. The road has been paved for Marquis Tien in the Northern Army, just waiting for Marquis Tien to arrive."
"Madam also suggested that I submit a letter to fight." Han Ruzi was both happy and surprised, it turned out that Cui Xiaojun and Yang Feng coincided.
The Donghai King in the corner suddenly jumped to the ground, "Ha, I see, the person who wrote to you is your cousin! How could the Cui family be like her..." Donghai Wang suddenly realized that this was not his territory, and hurriedly shut up, He sat back on the stool and pretended to be a statue.
"It turns out that Marquis Juan is already prepared, so it's even better. Let's go now. We can't enter the city, we can only detour. If we hurry up, we will be here tonight, and the Yang Guild will send someone to meet him."
"There are more than 700 people in the stockade, some of them are old and young, women and children. There are no horses, only a few mules. I'm afraid they can't walk too fast."
Du Motian was slightly surprised, "You don't need to bring everyone with you, at most five or six people. I can find the horses after leaving the Hebian Village."
Han Ruzi was silent.
King Donghai couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Hey, he's here again with 'Women's Kindness', even the cats and dogs in the stockade should be taken away."
Du Motian persuaded: "Tinyhou's house is kind and kind, this is a good thing, but now is really not the time..."
Han Ruzi shook his head and said, "No, I was thinking about one thing. When Yang Feng asked the old instructor to come to me, I didn't know that I had collected an army in Hebianzhai, right?"
Du Motian was an old Jianghu. At this time, he unconsciously scratched his head. According to what he saw and heard after he entered the village, this could not be regarded as an army at all.
"What can I do in the Northern Army?"
"This... Mr. Yang has his own arrangements, but he didn't tell me." Du Motian couldn't answer.
The King of the East Sea laughed, "Can't you guess it? The queen mother asked a group of royal family members to join the army, just to put pressure on my uncle, what can you do? Of course, it is to be a guard for the champion, and everyone is a general. The title, go for a walk around the frontier, enjoy the scenery outside the Great Wall, and when the Queen Mother's purpose is achieved, you can go home, and everyone will be promoted to rank."
The King of the East Sea stared at Han Ruzi, "As for you, it is impossible for you to be promoted to an official position, and Yang Feng will not let you come back, but don't think that he will help you to become emperor, think about it, how did Yang Feng convince the champion Accept you? Isn't it like the Cui family, who wants to use your identity? You trust Yang Feng, but Yang Feng has already changed his master. The champion Hou has a bright future, can you compare?"
Du Motian whispered, "Don't listen to his nonsense, Marquis Tien, Yang Gong is not that kind of person."
"What kind of person?" The King of the East Sea left the stool and strode over, "How long have you known Yang Feng? He is a eunuch. For the sake of power, he dares to attack himself. Who will this kind of person be loyal to?"
Du Motian had not known Yang Feng for a long time, and was unwilling to argue with the King of the East Sea.
Donghai King did not miss every opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and sincerely said to Han Ruzi: "My previous proposal is still valid, I really don't understand, why don't you believe me? My cousin is devoted to you. She is the daughter of the Cui family. Doted by Lao Jun and my uncle, and with your cousin, are you still afraid that the Cui family will harm you? Isn’t the family as trustworthy as outsiders? Yang Feng will make you suffer a lot.”
Han Ruzi smiled, "Thank you for your reminder."
East Sea King's eyes lit up, "Do you want to understand?"
"Yeah." Han Ruzi turned to Du Motian, "please Old Instructor Du go to see Duke Yang and tell him that I have formed a 3,000-strong rebel army in Hebianzhai, and ask him to fight for a banner for the rebel army, here I am. waiting."
Du Motian and Donghai King were both surprised. One said, "Won't Marquis Tien go with me to see Duke Yang?" The other said, "Where did you come from with three thousand people? There are only a few hundred ignorant people."
Han Ruzi said: "If Yang Gong understands the situation here, he will agree with my approach. I can't go to the Northern Army alone, it's just a change of prison."
The King of Donghai felt incredible, "Your appetite is getting bigger and bigger, ask my uncle for food, grass, soldiers and armor, ask the queen dowager to open the door, ask the champion for a banner, if this goes on, are you going to borrow troops from the Huns? Do you know how difficult it is to establish a flag? It must be requested by the Ministry of War, approved by the emperor, and given the flag by the Grand Governor's Office... Champion Hou has no such power at all."
Han Ruzi nodded, "Old Instructor Du, please repeat what the King of the East Sea said to Duke Yang."
"Ah?" Du Motian and Donghai Wang were shocked at the same time.
"That's right, I'm making conditions with the Queen Mother, Taifu Cui and the Champion Hou. If possible, I hope the world will know."
The Donghai King looked shocked, and suddenly stomped his feet and snorted. He returned to the corner, sat on the stool, and refused to look at Han Ruzi again.
Du Motian still didn't quite understand what Juan Hou's intention was, but he didn't ask more: "Okay, since Juan Hou has made a decision, I'll go to Yang Gong, and I'll be back before sunset tomorrow, please be careful. ."
Han Ruzi sent him to the door, watched Du Motian leave on horseback, and then glanced at the stockade. The soldiers were in groups of three or five, all discussing something in small groups.
Don't rely on the door all the time, and then said: "Everyone wants to get rich overnight, but you have to make long-term plans. Well, it's very interesting."
Han Ruzi smiled and returned to the room.
Most of the righteous soldiers are bewitched by the hopeful, hoping that through a revolt, the deposed emperor will be returned to the throne in a few days, and then an imperial decree will be issued to eradicate corrupt officials and save the people from water and fire. In the end, the deposed emperor wanted to take them to the far northern border.
"It was because they refused the government's levy of grain and soldiers that they took the dangerous road. Why did they follow me to fight against the Huns?" Han Ruzi asked.
Don't be indifferent, the East Sea King hummed disdainfully.
"Trouble is coming, don't get too far away from me." Don't let me say, put away the short knife and wood chips, walked to the corner, and stood beside the East Sea King.
The East Sea King stared at him angrily, without getting a response, he lowered his head boringly.
The door of the room opened, and a group of people stood outside the door. Chao Hua, the leader, clasped his fists and saluted the "Emperor" at the same time.
"Please come in." Han Ruzi said, standing in the middle of the room, seven or eight steps away from the hopeless.
Only five people came in, and the others remained outside the door, but they could see and hear the scene inside the house.
"What's the matter with you?" Han Ruzi asked.
The five of them bowed their heads and bowed to each other for a while. Finally, Chao Hua raised his head and said, "I want to avenge my father, please allow me to take a group of people to leave the village."
"General Chao has found the whereabouts of his enemy?"
"Not yet, but since you know it's from the Chai Mansion, it should be easy to find."
Han Ruzi's eyes swept over the five people and asked, "Are you still planning to come back?"
Not only these five people, but even the faces of the people outside turned red, their heads hung lower, Chao Hua was their leader, and he had to speak with his blushing, "We didn't go to His Majesty to fight in the army, His Majesty wants to. Go to the north to fight the Huns, we can't help you, please let us go."
The King of the East Sea in the corner whispered to Dangerous: "I bet he's going to be a 'loner' again."
Don't even move your eyes, just stand there, as if you are not interested in anything.
The King of the East Sea glanced at the two short knives behind Doom's back, and stopped making a sound.
"Everyone came here in good faith, so what's the point of 'letting go'?" Han Ruzi didn't show the slightest anger, and cupped his hands: "If you want to leave, you can leave at any time, I only have one request."
"Your Majesty, please speak." Chao Hua said immediately, saying goodbye was so easy, he was greatly relieved, and he was willing to agree to any conditions.
"I hope I can give you a little reward."
The King of the East Sea showed a nauseous look, and he held back his mockery, but Chao Hua and the others' faces turned even redder, and someone outside the door said loudly, "Your Majesty has treated us very well, and we haven't done anything for Your Majesty. , do not deserve to be rewarded."
Han Ruzi said sternly: "Everyone who is willing to come to the river to stop is the greatest help to me. A little reward is a little bit of my heart. Please accept it no matter what. Three days, at most three days, the reward will come. I hope you can wait a little longer."
The five people in the room looked at each other, then turned to look at the people outside the room for a while, Chao Hua turned to Han Ruzi, "We really don't deserve the reward, but we are willing to stay for your Majesty for three more days."
Han Ruzi expressed his gratitude, sent everyone out of the room, and closed the door.
The King of the East Sea said contemptuously: "You are really hypocritical. In fact, as long as you speak, these people will stay for three more days. Why pretend to have a reward?"
Han Ruzi didn't say a word, so he didn't want to speak, "For the sake of face, they will verbally agree to stay, and for the reward, they will stay down-to-earth, Juan Hou did the right thing. But if you let me guess, you are not waiting. A reward, but a crisis."
"I'm waiting for both." Han Ruzi said.
He thought that the riverside village was no longer a hidden place, and the crisis would come earlier than the reward.
