The ministers looked at each other, they really couldn't figure out why the emperor suddenly made such a request, if it was to see Guo Jing, it would be fine, but Guo Fu is just a white girl, and she is a young girl who doesn't know the world, how could she alarm Tianyan.
"Could it be that the emperor heard about his beauty and wanted to see her beauty?"
"Although this Miss Guo is a bit arrogant, her appearance is really good. She has perfectly inherited her mother's amazing beauty."
"Miss Guo is pretty, but for some reason, she doesn't feel as attractive as Mrs. Guo."
"Isn't this nonsense?"
…
A group of people speculated wildly in their hearts, only a few insiders knew that Zhao Gou was definitely not out of covetousness for the other party's beauty. After all, his body was already incapable of human affairs. think like that.
"Forget it, let's go directly to the Guo Mansion." Zhao Gou thought about it, and suddenly said, "By the way, I also called the righteous men who have helped Xiangyang to defend the city these years, and I would like to reward them. Heart."
The others originally planned to persuade them, but after hearing him say this, it would be difficult to write a letter, otherwise they would be scolded to death by the world.
The commander of the Dianqian Division, Wang Ziteng, stationed outside Xiangyang City with a large army of guards. After all, it was a bit inconvenient for the army to enter the city. The city guards in Xiangyang, Lu Wende, did not know how much security work they had done in advance, and the security of the entire Xiangyang city has reached the point where they do not pick up lost items on the road and do not close their doors at night.
A group of people marched into the city in a mighty way. On the way, Zhao Gou summoned officials at all levels in Jinghu to express condolences to the situation in all aspects of Jinghu over the years. Suddenly noticed a few young people, couldn't help asking about their situation.
Lu Wende replied respectfully: "Reporting to the sage, this is the child teacher, who is currently the governor of Guizhou. All the armies are in command; this is Qiu Tongfu, the second son-in-law of humble rank, who is currently the governor of Yingzhou..."
If Song Qingshu was present, he would definitely have to look at Fan Wenhu more. This man was a top talent in history. In the late Southern Song Dynasty, Fan Wenhu led the last navy force of the Southern Song Dynasty and lost to Mongolia. He soon took a high position again, and the Mongolian expedition to Japan actually asked him to lead the coach. As a result, there was no doubt that he wiped out the hundreds of thousands of Mongolian navy troops.
Of course Zhao Gou didn't know all of this. Seeing how shrewd and powerful they all looked, he couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, they're generals. It's all thanks to your concerted efforts to keep our frontiers safe in the Song Dynasty all these years."
Lu Wende and others hurriedly replied: "Serving the country, I will never give up even if I die, and I dare not take credit for it."
Zhao Gou ordered the eunuch to reward him, while secretly sneering, the brothers of the Lu family really beat the Jinghu side into an iron bucket, most of the entire Jinghu military was their people, and that Qiu Tongfu, if I remember correctly His father is a member of the Privy Council who signed the letter and supervised the Jianghuai Army Ma Qiugu. These people colluded with each other and joined forces. Where will I, the emperor, be placed
A group of people arrived at Guo's mansion soon, and the Guo family had been notified long ago. Guo Fu, Da Wu and Xiao Wu were at the door to welcome Sheng Jia.
Everyone could only see the girl in red in front of her with curved eyebrows, her small nose slightly turned up, her face as white as jade, her face as bright as a flower, it was Guo Fu. Her attire is not very luxurious, except for a string of pearls hanging around her neck, giving off a faint halo, which makes her look more like a pink jade jewel, perhaps because she was nervous when she suddenly learned that the emperor was coming. Sweating, her cheeks are reflected by the red clothes, making her more beautiful.
Everyone sighed in their hearts, Miss Guo's family is really shameless, they heard that Guo Jing was born with big three and five thick, but they don't know how beautiful Mrs. Guo must be to give birth to such a delicate and beautiful daughter with him.
Lu Shidao and other young people stared intently at the red-clothed girl in front of them. Guo Fu's beauty had a stronger impact on people of their age. Thinking back, Mrs. Guo seemed to intend to marry the Lu family, but at that time her father was interested in It's not very big, after all, I plan to find him a wife from the wealthy family in Lin'an, so a strong alliance will be more conducive to the power of the Lu family. Although Guo Fu was born beautiful, and Guo Jing and Huang Rong were also popular, but after all, they came from a poor family and could not help the Lu family very much.
"Although you can't be a regular wife, you can still be a concubine." Lu Shidao swallowed, and at the same time there was a haze on his brows, because Mrs. Guo didn't seem to be so concerned about her marriage in the past two years. I used to be so eager to match the two, I don't know why.
Lu Shisheng also stared closely at Guo Fu, looking at this beautiful girl who almost became his sister-in-law, he couldn't help but feel a strange excitement in his heart, if he could take her into his room... but uncle and his family may The face is not good-looking... Hey, they obviously don't want it themselves, but they don't allow others to want it. What's the reason
Among the people present, Zhao Gou is probably the only one with the purest mind. After the incident, he has long since lost those messy thoughts. Looking at this beautiful girl, what he thinks in his heart is: Is this the descendant of King Cao...
At the beginning, it was found that Guo Jing was the descendant of Chai Xirang, the fifth son of Chai Rong who disappeared after Taizu Huangpaojia, so he didn't want him to stay in the capital to lead the forbidden army, but sent him to the Northern Expedition. In the end, life and death were not known to some extent. It's a serious problem for him.
Fortunately, Guo Jing had no sons, and Cao Wang's line was cut off at this point.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gou's gloomy mood for the past few days finally saw a ray of sunshine, and his face became amiable: "Miss Guo, please get up quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Guo Fu stood up, quietly sizing up the emperor, thinking that he was not as stupid as the folks said.
After casually rewarding the achievements of the Guo family, Zhao Gou noticed a few ragged people in the back row, and couldn't help frowning: "Who are they?"
"This is the current head of the Beggar Gang, Lu Youjiao, and several elders of the Beggar Gang. Thanks to their help these years, Xiangyang has not been lost." Lu Wende introduced that Huang Rong has been gradually delegating power over the years, and now he has completely Hand over the beggar gang to Lu Youjiao.
"It turned out to be a righteous man from the Beggar Gang." Zhao Gou nodded. He had heard about the deeds of Huang Rong from the Guo family. Although he didn't think these people in the rivers and lakes were really useful on the battlefield, he still had to have the posture he should have, so as not to be cold The hearts of the people of the world.
Lu Youjiao and others hurriedly saluted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Zhao Gou went over to express his condolences to show his favor, but at this time, a sudden change occurred, and an eight-pouch elder suddenly jumped up and rushed towards him.
"There are assassins!" Someone exclaimed.
Lu Youjiao and the others were even more desperate. If the emperor had done something good or bad, the assassin would still come out of the crowd of the beggars, and the beggars would not be able to clean up even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
The other elders obviously had the same idea, and they all shot together to restrain the traitor.
Lu Youjiao's martial arts are not weak at all, and with the help of his successors in recent years, he has received Huang Rong and Guo Jing's teaching of the dog-beating stick method and the eighteen dragon-subduing palms, and his skills have improved even more. , they are all good players in the arena, and several people teamed up to instantly seal the vital points on that person's body. If that person doesn't return to defense, he will be severely injured by them. Naturally, he has no energy left to attack the emperor. There was enough time to react.
It's a pity that the man's figure swayed strangely, like a fish in the water, his body skillfully dodged the attacks of several eight bag elders, then his feet broke through Lu Youjiao's defense with a strange arc, and kicked directly above his chest.
Lu Youjiao spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell backwards. The assassin, with the help of the counter-shock, killed Zhao Gou in an instant like an arrow flying from the string.
The dagger in his hand was only a few inches away from Zhao Gou. A smile appeared on the corner of the assassin's mouth. He was very confident in his sword. He had performed dozens of missions without a single miss. Today's sword , and even displayed an extraordinary level. The previous dozens of missions were far inferior to the splendor of this thorn.
It's just that he suddenly found that the cold light on the dagger in front of him suddenly seemed to turn into a dazzling white light, and the warning signal rose sharply in his heart, but it was too late, he only felt a chill on the top of his head, and then his whole body fell into endless darkness.
A person beside Zhao Gou put the knife back into the sheath with a look of indifference, and at the same time commanded his guards to search for any other remnants.
Lu Wende and the others also hurriedly ordered the soldiers to seal off the scene and investigate the assassins. At the same time, they glanced at the guard next to the emperor with some trepidation. As an important minister of the court, he naturally recognized the identity of the man. The name of the man was Li Yanshi, and he was Zhao Gouqian's confidant After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he was appointed as the imperial weapon.
Lu Wende secretly wiped off his cold sweat, thinking that everyone said Dai Yuqi is a master among masters, now that he sees it, it is really extraordinary, in the entire Xiangyang City, Guo Jing and Huang Rong are probably the only ones who can compare to them... No, Huang Rong did not must overcome him.
Armored weapons have always been masters among masters. The last batch of armed weapons were Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, and Yue Yun. Nowadays, these armed weapons, whether it is Ding Dian of Wuying Shenquan or Wu Xi with unparalleled swordsmanship (Although they fell into treason later), all of them are well-known figures in the rivers and lakes. Now even Li Yanshi, who has never been well-known, is actually so powerful in swordsmanship.
Subconsciously glanced worriedly at Jia Sidao not far away, Zhao Gou has such a master by his side, is this action really all right
It's a pity that Jia Sidao has no expression on his face, and he can't see his mental activities at this time.
Regardless of the serious injuries, Lu Youjiao and others rushed over to plead guilty: "Please forgive me, the emperor, we don't know why this person suddenly assassinated..."
A group of elders of the beggar gang kowtowed desperately to apologize, but they also knew how weak the reason was, and the beggar gang might be in great trouble this time.
Li Yanshi, who was squatting on the ground to search for the assassin's imperial equipment, suddenly touched a waist card and presented it directly to Zhao Gou: "Your Majesty, you are a spy from the Huanyi Institute of the Kingdom of Jin."
"Huanyiyuan?" Zhao Gou's eyelids twitched. This place represented endless humiliation to the entire Song Dynasty. He didn't expect that he would dare to assassinate himself now.
"Report ~ Photochemical Army urgent!"
"Report ~ Suizhou is urgent!"
"Report ~ Xinyang Army is urgent!"
Suddenly, one after another, soldiers came to report, and they found that the army of Jin State was separated and came straight to Xiangyang.
Zhao Gou's complexion changed, he thought to himself that he had just negotiated peace with Jin Guo, why did they lightly start the war again, could it be that he knew that he came to Xiangyang this time and wanted to have a beheading operation.
The officials were discussing a lot, Jia Sidao suddenly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I wish to lead an army to the Guanghua Army to keep the enemy out of the country."
King Yi also came out and said: "I am willing to lead an army and go to Suizhou, and don't teach the golden men to cross the Suizao Corridor."
"Zoo!" Seeing the reaction of the two, Zhao Gou felt relieved. It seems that Jia Sidao probably made up this urgent military situation, and they stayed away from me. One can't blame them either.
"Let's see who laughs last." Zhao Gou sneered in his heart as he saw the loyalty and courage of the two.
