The night has fallen on Lu City, and this five-hundred-year-old ancient city has only survived two days of civil strife. (Baidu search to force literature network to update the fastest and most stable)

The west of the city is still under the control of Zhao Wuxi's military pawns. Ji's family did not return to the mansion, but huddled in the public palace in the name of Da Situ.

The rest of the urban areas were managed by the Meng family, and a strict curfew was enforced. The streets were deserted, and only the patrolling soldiers of Yingyi walked back and forth.

In the Meng family mansion, Zifu He, with a heavy face, reported to Meng Sun Heji the losses of the past two days.

"Yesterday and today's battle, a thousand soldiers, a total of 200 casualties, 2,000 soldiers in Yuyi, 300 casualties, fortunately, their vitality is not injured."

Mengsun Heji recalled the raging wars and the screeching arrows in the past two days, but he felt terrified. He also thought that the source of his fear, Yang Hu, had fled in a hurry. Yang Hu slaughtered, and immediately calmed down again.

"That's good, that's good."

Gong Lianyang, whose armor was still on the side, added in a hard voice: "And Ji's family originally had two thousand, half anyway, half from thieves, and now there are less than one thousand left after the cannibalism. Even the patriarch's uncle, Sun Zhouqiu, was kidnapped by the traitor Gong Shan Buju and others, if anything happens to him, the uncle and grandson are dead!"

He glared at Zifu He: "In this way, my Meng clan is the strongest military force in the city, plus the ministers and subordinates of the country, we can still make up three or four thousand people, enough to dominate the overall situation, but because of Zifuzi's leak is a failure!"

When Yanghu was defeated and fled, the dust settled in Qufu. Gong Lianyang had murderous intentions and applied to Mengsun Heji to send a corpse to assassinate Ji Sunsi. Then forcibly annex the private family and family of Ji's and uncles and grandsons, and so on. Meng Shi can become the only minister of Lu!

That would be the highest peak that his Gong Lianyang could make Meng reach!

However, Mengsun Heji was indecisive and could not make a decision for a long time. Gong Lianyang was so anxious that he had to send someone to act secretly.

Who knew Zifu could see his plan, and even ran first to tip off Zhao Wuxi, who was going to prepare a horse to chase Yanghu. Wu Xie informed Ji Sunsi again, and helped him gather Ji's private family in the public palace, and left Zilu by the side to protect him, so he led his troops out of the city and chased Yanghu and Luhou.

Zifu He knew that there were omissions in this matter. He was silent, but Gong Lianyang was angry at him for not arguing, and began to dig out old hatreds to encourage Mengsun Heji.

"When the young prince slandered the emperor, it led to the king of Zhou Yi to kill Qi Aihou alive, and the people of Qi mourned him. Since Duke Ai, it was passed on to Duke Xiang of Qi for the ninth generation, and he took revenge by destroying the state of Ji. ) Up to now, it has happened to be nine generations, and the revenge of the ninth generation can be avenged! Lord, although I missed an opportunity, but I took Zhao Wuxi to pursue Yanghu before returning, and sent troops to attack the Gong Palace, killing Ji Shi, for the sake of Meng Gongzhong's revenge. It's still possible!"

Zifu was shocked: "It's absolutely impossible! Now that the Ji clan has gathered his troops to shrink the palace, and Zhao Bing lives in the west of the city, it is obviously guarding against us!"

"Is Zifuzi the Meng clan? Or is it the Ji clan? Why do you speak for them?"

The tall Gong Lianyang approached Zifu He step by step. Looking down at the young pedestrian, his eyes seemed to pop out. He had to ask Zifuhe to give an explanation in front of Mengsun Heji.

Facing Gong Lianyang who hated him for bad things, Zifu He would not give in an inch.

He said: "Like the sect of Yuyi, I also hope to expand the Meng clan, but not in this way. The state of Lu is a temple and a bright hall. Since the three Huan forces jointly expelled the Dongmen clan and ruled together, the three families have shared blessings and misfortunes. They are all pillars of the state, without any one of them, nothing can be achieved. Just as the uncle Muzi said when he was under the plot of Ji Wuzi, even if he hates the Ji family, can this pillar of the top beam be suddenly removed?"

Gong Lianyang raised his eyebrows: "Why not, isn't there still the Meng family?"

Zifu He bitterly persuaded: "Only relying on the Meng clan, can the current state of Lu be supported? The state of Lu was already in decline, and after the tyranny of Yanghu, now it can no longer stand the toss, and the three Huan are fighting within each other. It is impossible to focus on destroying the Yanghu Remnant Party, and Yuncheng, Guan, Yangguan, and Fei are all crucial."

Gong Lianyang disagreed: "As long as Ji's family and uncles and grandsons go, the head of the family can become the ruling minister, annex the family of the two ministers, reorganize the three armies, and exterminate the tigers and the remaining bandits. I will naturally take care of these military affairs. , if Zifuzi has the heart, just run around and lobby the Lord!"

So far, Zifu He has been accused of "disloyalty to the Meng family" by Gong Lianyang and asked Mengsun Heji to punish him.

Mengsun Heji was dizzy due to the quarrel between two important retainers. He was indecisive at first, and now he was even more indecisive. He could only let the two who were arguing with swords rest for a while.

Zifu He Chao, Meng Sun He Ji bowed his head, and defended: "He, Meng family's retainers dare not know the country, let alone collude with outsiders, but Yu Yi wants to rush to assassinate the Great Sima, so he had to ask Doctor Zhao to intervene and stop him. This happened. At that time, the minister was also considering whether to have the Ji family or not, which would be more beneficial to the Meng family. "

"Zifu's loyalty, of course, is clear to Yu, and the slaughter of Yiyi is only angry for a while, don't take it to heart."

Zifu He paused again and came to this conclusion.

"My lord, there is no Ji family, there is no Meng family!"

His eloquence began to exert force: "Not to mention that the two families have been interdependent for hundreds of years. First of all, after the chaos, the Ji clan was destroyed. The risk of assassinating a minister of a country is too great, and it is easy to arouse the opposition of the Chinese people. Second, I said before. In the past, extermination of Yanghu's remnants is the first priority. Finally, it was Yu Yizai who thought that after removing the Ji Clan, the Meng Clan would be able to take power smoothly, but he forgot one person, a new outsider!"

Gong Lianyang's expression changed slightly. Indeed, when he was thinking about things, he forgot about that variable for a while.

why? Perhaps it was because that person had been emphasizing that he would return to the country after meritorious service no matter the occasion, as if he was only temporarily living in the country of Lu.

But is this really true?

"Yesterday and today, the fighting power of the Zhao clan's military pawns, Yu Yizai, must have been seen. The Ji clan can be annexed, and the rest of the Yanghu party can be driven away, but can Zhao Zitai be removed?"

Mengsun Heji's mouth was bitter, of course not.

Not to mention that the soldiers of Yuyi could not beat the military pawns, the Zhao clan of the Jin state behind Zhao Wuxie alone is enough to make people jealous.

"If Ji's family and their uncles and grandsons were killed and abolished, I would not be able to check and balance Zhao Zitai with the strength of my Meng family. When he grew older, he said that he would unite with the rest of the Ji's clan to control the monarch and raise divisions to attack us. The existence or death of the clan is still unknown. From a young age, it will occupy Xibi. At that time, there will be Ji clan remnants inside, Zhao Zitai outside, Yanghu remnants, and the country will be divided into four. Only the foreign invaders Qi will drive straight in, and Lu will perish! "

Mengsun Heji listened to these words, and he always had doubts about Zifuhe's closeness to Zhao Wuxi. Who would have thought that Zifu He had been deeply afraid of this person for a long time.

The personal friendship with Zhao Wuxi was the friendship of friends, but as he just said, Zifu is, in the final analysis, a small clan of the Meng clan, and has always considered the interests of the Meng clan.

"So we must maintain the tradition of the state of Lu, and the three Huan are forbearing as the state!" said Zifu Heru.

"Sincerely!" Meng Sun Heji also made a decision.

"Yiyi slaughter, Lu's hardship is over, and in the future, I will assist Yu with Zifuzi. As for swallowing Ji's words, there is no need to mention it again!"

Gong Lianyang promised, but after walking out of the hall, his face was still a little resentful, and he spit bitterly towards the side.

"There are risks in doing anything. If you endure everything like this, the Meng family will be crushed by the Ji family in another 100 generations. How can you become the minister of Lu? The head of the family is not like Meng Gongzhong, Meng Mubo, It’s a pity that Meng Xianzi and other British masters of all dynasties were so decisive! There is also the man who served Shuzi, who was able to restrain the plains with the strength of the military, who temporarily escaped the kingdoms when he was a pedestrian, and who fell into the army and became enemies with the robbers.

"But what he said is also correct. In the future, we need to increase the prevention of Zhao Wuxi. First, we should encourage the scholars and officials in Lucheng to reject this person, expel him like Yang Hu, and then plan for Ji and Shusun. Although the Yuyi soldiers may not be able to beat Zhao Wuzu, but their number is too small, I can't help it!"

At this moment, the door of the inner wall of the mansion was suddenly pushed open, but it was Meng's younger brother Nangong Yue (Zi Jingshu) who walked in. He walked in a hurry, his face was happy, but also worried.

"Uncle Jing, what happened?"

Nangong read a bow: "It's Dr. Zitai who is back!"

Mengsun Heji and Zifu He also came out, and after hearing the words, he quickly asked:

"Is the king okay?"

"Has Yanghu caught it?"

The former was asked by Meng Shi and Zifu He, and the latter was asked by Gong Lianyang.

Nangong Yue showed regret on his face: "The monarch is safe, but Yang Hu... Yang Hu escaped."

...

Zhao Wuxi and his party slowly approached the city of Lu under the night. He entered the city from the southeast~lightnovelpub.net~ This place is controlled by the Ji family who is extremely dependent on Wu Xie, and now the door is already open.

Ji Sunsi, Liu Xiaji and others came out from the public palace. The monarch and the ruling party had suffered a lot in the past few days, and their lives were almost in danger. Headache and crying, the scene is not very good.

The prime minister, Zhao Wuxi, stood aside, and waited until the monarch and minister were in a stable mood before he stepped forward to "please guilt" them again.

"Originally, after the monarch was released, I wanted to arrest the rebellious accompany Yang Hu and put him in chains. Who would have thought that he was cunning and skilled, and suddenly burst out, wounded several warriors in a row, grabbed a horse and fled without a shirt. If you fail to do things well, please ask the emperor and the ruling to punish you!" (To be continued...)
