Chapter 335: Tiger Minister(2/3)

But to dig deeper clues and know the truth about why and how he was able to escape Maplewood City is nothing more than a dream.

Maplewood City was completely destroyed. Nothing was left...

"Maplewood City, Maplewood City..." Zhuang Gaoxian repeated the two sentences softly, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Is that Du Yehu still reliable?"

Du Ruhui sighed: "Not everyone can make a choice between family and country. Dong A and Li Jianqiu are rare. I don't know General Du Yehu, so I can't distinguish between them for Your Majesty."

 When it comes to Maplewood City matters, between Li Jianqiu and Du Yehu, he can only protect Li Jianqiu.

He was Dong A’s last disciple, inherited his everlasting magical powers, inherited Dong A’s ideals, and carried his trust. He valued Li Jianqiu both in public and in private.

The information about the Yellow River Meeting that both of them have read is now on file.

Zhuang Gaoxian picked up the information booklet, handed it over casually, and ordered: "Give this information intact to Lin Zhengren so that he can think about it."

Naturally, a young eunuch came forward, took the book with both hands, and hurried away.

Zhuang Gaoxian smiled at Du Ruhui: "Since Lin Zhengren has an appointment with Gu, I will see what results he can achieve in the Yellow River Meeting this time."

 “I don’t dare to live up to His Majesty’s expectations.” Du Ruhui said.

Zhuang Gaoxian sighed suddenly and then continued the previous topic: "General Du Yehu climbed to Suolong Pass first. He is a lonely warrior and a hero of the country."

 He said: "You have to be decent."

 This is the ending for Du Yehu...

As for suicide, death by drunkenness, or recurrence of old injuries... I think the last way to die is the most honorable.

At the Zhuang Yong battlefield, Zhuang Gaoxian announced to Du Yehu that Du Yehu was not there. But at that time, Zhuang Gaoxian did not care about Du Yehu's rudeness at all. He called him a strong man and said not to criticize him harshly.

 He has no shortage of means to be a wise king.

At this time, if Du Yehu is even a little unstable, he will not allow this person to continue to hold military power. At the same time, he will not allow this person with a certain foundation in the army to leave Zhuang State.

 This is also the heart of the emperor.

 So, if nothing unexpected happens, Du Yehu's fate is doomed at this time.

 In fact, Zhuang Gaoxian still doesn't know about the friendship between Du Yehu and Jiang Wang. Once he knows, he probably won't be "respectable" anymore.

Du Ruhui thought about it, but in the end he did not persuade him. He just said: "Old minister, let someone make arrangements."

“Teacher, you make the arrangements yourself.” Zhuang Gaoxian looked at him: “I don’t trust leaving this matter to others.”

 Du Ruhui was about to respond.

Suddenly, a guard in front of the palace came quickly and shouted: "Your Majesty! Duan Li, the commander-in-chief of Jiujiang Xuanjia, conspired to commit treason and was captured by Du Yehu himself. He is now being held outside the palace gate!"

  Recommend, the book-chasing app I’ve been using recently, [app ] to cache reading and read aloud offline!

Zhuang Gaoxian raised his eyebrows and raised his murderous intention.

Du Ruhui was also very upset: "What did you say?!"

 The loyalty of Duan Li, the commander-in-chief of Jiujiang Xuanjia, is known throughout the country.

 He ​​and the commander of the White Feather Army, He Ba Dao, fought tooth and nail to hold back Li Ying, Marquis of Chengde of Yong State, on the Zhuang Yong battlefield. This created an opportunity for Emperor Zhuang to kill Han Yin, the Supreme Emperor of Yong State.

 After this battle, He Ba died with his sword and Duan Li was deposed.

This glorious deed is known to everyone in the Zhuang Kingdom.

How could such a loyal and brave person commit treason?

How can one commit treason?

  The guard in front of the palace who reported the news was kneeling on the ground, very frightened.

 Fortunately, Du Ruhui quickly calmed down his emotions and asked directly: "Which door is it at?"

“North…North Gate!” the guard in front of the palace replied.

 Looking up again, the Prime Minister and His Majesty the King were gone.

 As the emperor and prime minister, you should always pay attention to your manners. After all, it is an example for the subjects of Zhuang State.

 When is it not calm and dignified?

 In the past, when Zhuang State was weak, Du Ruhui often moved south and north, relying on his magical power so far away that he could serve as multiple people.

Now that Zhuang Yong has shown great authority in the first battle, he has rarely been in such a hurry.

 But no matter what.

 Du Yehu, who personally carried Duan Li outside Zhuang Wang's palace, finally saw Emperor Zhuang again.

 …

 …

Du Yehu, with his bearded face, strong muscles and rough appearance, undoubtedly fits people's idea of ​​a strong man.

 At this moment...

At this moment, Duan Li was holding Duan Li in one hand and standing silently outside the Zhuang Palace.

 It is undoubtedly painful.

 Compared with Duan Li who was still struggling, his expression looked even more desperate.

When Du Ruhui stepped forward, the figure of the Lord of Zhuang Kingdom appeared outside the North Palace Gate.

 The officers and soldiers of the White Feather Army guarding the palace gate all held their breaths and concentrated.

Du Ruhui only looked at Duan Li at first glance. The old Prime Minister's eyes were a little sad.

 “Why?” he asked.

Duan Li's throat was sealed by Du Yehu's real energy, so he couldn't make a sound before.

Du Ruhui lowered his voice with some anger: "Let him speak!"

Du Yehu then let go of his hand and let Duan Li fall to the ground.

Duan Li was not tied up. He was a cripple and did not need to be tied up at all. He could not cause any harm to the Prime Minister or Emperor Zhuang. This is why Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui never thought that he would treason.

reason.

 Wouldn’t it be good for a person who has no future to speak of to enjoy wealth and wealth from now on?

Having lost all his cultivation, where can he go? If he encounters a ferocious beast anywhere, he will be responsible for it.

 Duan Li asked: "Why?"

He looked at Du Ruhui and the king of Zhuang State behind Du Ruhui, and said with a smile: "You actually asked me why?"

"General Duan." Du Ruhui shook his head: "I hope this is not true."

Duan Li glanced at Du Yehu bitterly, but Du Yehu stood there lifelessly and did not speak.

So he turned around again and said with a smile: "No, this is true. I brought Yongchang County's defense map, I brought the military spy roster, I brought all the core secrets of Jiujiang Xuanjia...

"

 He said sternly: "I will take them all to Yong Kingdom!"

 All these things Duan Li mentioned are in the hands of a palace guard at this moment.

 Along with this is a storage box that was almost damaged. Judging from the traces, Duan Li should have wanted to destroy it when he was caught, but was stopped in time...

 The person who could stop this was naturally Du Yehu.

There are both witnesses and physical evidence, which is probably why Duan Li did not deny it at this time, but was rather afraid of being scalded by boiling water.

 But even though he could see it clearly, Du Ruhui still found it very difficult to accept it.

 He looked at Duan Li with a sad expression: "General Duan, I didn't expect that, I didn't expect..."

 He said angrily: "Your Majesty, haven't you been kind enough to me?"

"Although you have been deposed, you have not lost your position. You are still the commander-in-chief of Jiujiang Xuanjia. You will be given clothes and armor, and your salary will be increased by 30%! Do you know that His Majesty is still discussing with me today to grant you the position of earl?

!”

 If it were Duan Li in the past, he would have burst into tears at this meeting.

 But now he just wants to laugh.

 Is it a kind act to deceive a subordinate and send him to die?

 The position has not been lost, but the real power has been stripped away in the name of "maintaining the body", hasn't it?

 Give me clothes and armor? I am already a useless person. What can I do if I put on the clothes and armor given by you? Are you going to draw a knife to He's grave?

As for the so-called negotiation of the position of earl, why didn't you, Du Ruhui, just open your mouth? Who the hell knows whether you have discussed it or not?

The national war has been over for so long, and now we are talking about conferring a knighthood! Do you think I have always been so stupid?

Duan Li wanted to laugh wildly and curse, but as expected...he was speechless.

 Not only was he speechless, he also lowered his head deeply.

 And the tears have rolled down involuntarily!
