"Li Fujun, you are well." Under the pavilion by Nangong Lake, Zhang Xing, who looked refreshed, saw the person coming and held his hands from a distance, but did not get up. "From Wu'an to here, the journey has been peaceful.

?Speaking of which, we should be going along the way, why didn’t we bump into each other on the road?”

Li Ding was silent for a moment, ignoring the other party's sarcasm, and just said hello to Feng Wuyi: "Mr. Feng, we said goodbye in a hurry that day at Heidiguan and didn't say hello in detail. After I went back, I thought about it, we had met in private before.

It was the time when Xidu Yanguogong Old Garden was visited, but by the count, it was already thirteen years ago."

Feng Wuyi only remembered what happened on his way back last time. He couldn't remember such a distant past. Even if he remembered things, he couldn't remember an ordinary young man from Guanlong. He just stood up and smiled bitterly: "Things have changed and people have changed. I don't want to see you again later, Li Silang."

He is already a famous figure."

"What kind of man is he? He's just a robber and thief." Zhang Xing continued to taunt Li Ding before he could say anything polite. "Unlike me, he built a gang to eliminate the Wei Dynasty, promote righteousness, save the people, and pacify the world... Mr. Feng

, you will be laughed at by others if you say such things."

Li Ding didn't say a word, and Feng Wuyi didn't say a word either. Both of them were a little embarrassed... It wasn't just that Zhang Xing was ruthless and thorny, but also that no matter what, they were still "officials of the imperial court" or "

"Former imperial official", it turned out that a rebel was here to taunt the two of them. What was even more embarrassing was that everyone knew very well that this gathering was probably about the rebel trying to mediate peace between a group of court officials who had merged with each other.

.

This seems absurd.

But from a practical point of view, it is true that only the gang has the qualifications, ability and position to do this mediation.

This is even more ridiculous.

Next, several people were silent for a while, just staring at the Nangong Lake where the lake bed was clearly exposed due to the drought and lack of rain this year. Zhang Xing also stopped teasing.

After a pause, as the time came to noon, there were words outside, saying that the No. 1 and No. 2 Zhonglang generals of Youzhou Camp, namely Luo Shu and Li Li, had arrived.

As soon as the two of them entered, Luo Shu took the lead in handing over the younger Li Li, but he also looked at Feng Wuyi: "Mr. Feng, it has been more than twenty years since your home in Changle sent you to serve as an official."

Different from before, Feng Wuyi certainly remembered such a thing, but he really couldn't remember Luo Shu, because back then Luo Shu was destined to be just a remnant of the run-down Eastern Qi Dynasty, with no family reputation, so he had no choice but to hand it over:

"Indeed, it has been more than 20 years, and General Luo's style remains the same."

Li Li also came to hand over his hand at this time: "Feng Gong, we are much better. The last time we met was on the Longevity Festival six years ago, right? In the Zhuolong Garden of the Taoism Workshop, in the presence of several imperial masters of the Trinity Orthodox Church

, my father introduced me to Mr. Feng."

To be honest, Feng Wuyi didn't remember it. As the saint's late official, later the actual chief writer of the imperial court, and a first-class confidant, who wouldn't fawn over him? At that time, Li Li was just a powerful Guan Long.

He is just a direct descendant of the family.

"Not bad, not bad." Feng Wuyi sighed. "It's a pity that your father has been in poor health recently and can't come over to reminisce."

Zhang Xing was speechless as he listened, and finally couldn't help but smile with his hands raised: "This is really common in Yan Gong's residence, and I have heard it several times in Zhuolong Garden. It is the beautiful scenery in Hebei, and we meet you again in the fall leaves season... You really show off your talents.

The scene of the violent decline of the Wei Dynasty... It can be seen from just a few people that the Wei Dynasty is really going to fall."

There were several people around, Luo Shu was cunning, and Li Li was young. They had no idea where this guy came from and what he was saying. In addition, they were afraid of Zhang Xing, so they just looked at each other. Li Ding understood, but was too lazy to pay attention.

Only Feng Wuyi, whose cultural level was here, and whose feelings were particularly profound, actually let out a sigh.

At this time, Xue Changxiong also arrived... In fact, everyone had arrived early, including the fact that yesterday they discussed with each other through Feng Wuyi the issue of asking Xiong Bonan and Zhang Shiniang not to attend the meeting. They had just made an appointment at this time... At this time, the last person

When he arrived, especially the one with the highest official position and the highest cultivation level in theory, everyone gave him some respect, including Zhang Xing, who also stood up to greet him.

When the two parties met, Xue Changxiong somehow didn't hold Feng Wuyi's hand and told him where we were in the garden last year. We hadn't seen him for a long time. When he arrived, he just exchanged greetings and then entered the pavilion to take a seat in a grand manner.

Zhang Xing pushed Feng Wuyi to sit first, then he sat down, and then Li Ding, Luo Shu, and Li Li sat down one by one.

After sitting down, everyone did not talk about military and state affairs, nor did they question Li Ding. Instead, they all looked at Zhang Xing - they were willing to come over, of course, because Li Ding had done such a bad thing, and they needed to discuss and observe the dynamics of all parties, but one

The reason for persuading the respective factions, or the reason Zhang Xing gave them to attend the meeting, was also very obvious, that is, the gang could provide some information in the direction of Jiangdu.

Since all the rivers and rivers were divided, Hebei has basically heard no news from Jiangdu.

In this case, even if they were determined to fight, kill or make peace from the beginning, or were destined to act based on internal decisions, it would not delay them from coming to listen.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xingming knew what these people wanted to hear, so he laughed instead and started with an inexplicable topic: "Everyone, you are different from me. You all come from a famous family, but you don't know whose ancestor was an emperor?"

Several people were confused, but Feng Wuyi gave a wry smile: "It should be that only my ancestors have ever been emperors. Er Li Xue Luo and others are just behind the generals."

"Oh." Zhang Xing was obviously surprised, and even the others were at a loss.

"It's no wonder that you don't know. What happened to my ancestors is really ridiculous. After the Murong family was defeated by Emperor Taiwu of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Hebei, they fled to the northeast, took over four or five small towns in the east of Youzhou, and joined forces to form a stronghold.

The Gao family of Bohai, one of the seven cities in the North, and later the family of Lelanggong, one of the Eight Dukes of the North, took advantage of the fall of the world to restore the country. Then the Murong family who restored the country died early, and the successors

He also behaved violently. As a general under the Murong clan at that time, and having a very good relationship with the Duke Lelang family, my ancestor was pushed to usurp the throne. He supported him for more than ten years, and then died in the civil strife. He immediately sought peace for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Feng Wuyi was obviously embarrassed. "It's just a shame to talk about this matter, but since it is an establishment, it is indispensable in the history books. It is not easy to cover up, let alone cover up."

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

However, Zhang Xing is still curious: "What is the meaning of being an emperor, such as the supreme selection, the real dragon protection, etc.? After all, as Feng Gong said, your ancestor has been the emperor for more than ten years, and the Feng family has continued to this day.

, and its reputation has not diminished, it is really interesting.”

"Our Feng family's continuation has nothing to do with our ancestor, the emperor. It is mainly because we are relatives of the Great Zhou Dynasty... This relative's reputation is not very good, so the reputation in Hebei is still not as good as that of Lu Cui and others, but it has been inherited to some extent.

"Feng Wuyi became more and more embarrassed, but he still sought truth from facts. "As for the supreme, real dragon, there really is... It is said that my ancestor who was the emperor encountered a golden dragon in Nangong Lake when he was young, and it is said that the golden dragon was killed by the golden dragon.

Possessed... Later people said that it was not a real dragon, but the remnant soul of a real dragon. You will know if you look at Nangong Lake, it is so small, how can you hide a real dragon?"

Several other people were already fascinated by what they heard and went to look at Nangong Lake again. Luo Shu even stood up and looked around, then sat down again and was amazed.

Zhang Xing, on the other hand, still joked: "So, among those sitting here today, it is estimated that only Li Ding, Fourth Master, can be the emperor. He has met Hu Yunjun, who is a well-known true dragon."

Everyone looked at Li Ding in surprise.

Li Ding finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Didn't you also see Fenshanjun?"

"Is that the same thing?" Zhang Xing sneered. "I was on the battlefield during the Second Campaign when I saw Lord Fenshan splitting from the ground from a distance. You met Lord Huyun in person, and they even told you your fortune. What?

When you encounter the mountains, you will be happy... Do you think that you will be happy when you come to Hongshan?"

The faces of the people around him became even weirder, but Li Ding fell silent. He knew that if he continued to talk to the other party, he would only become more passive, so he simply said nothing.

At this moment, Xue Changxiong said instead: "Chief Zhang said this, but he has the intention of establishing an organization and becoming emperor? Let me tell you, if you act like this, we people will have to unite as one even if we risk our lives.

I will fight you to the end. Even though you are tyrannical, you may not be able to gain a foothold in Hebei by then."

"That's exactly what he said." Li Liye said suddenly. "My father said before he came that no matter what, the gang should be the first person to be wary of in person, especially after Zhang... Chief Zhang became the chief."

Li Ding wanted to follow, but didn't know how.

"Both of the stewards are loyal ministers, unlike the ambitious Mr. Li." Zhang Xing glanced at Li Silang and sighed sincerely. "But what I say is not that I want to be the emperor, but that there has been a new situation in the south recently.

Interesting anecdote, just an association... Do you know that the saint is planning to build Danyang Palace?"

Except for Xue Changxiong, who already knew about it, the rest of the people were all dumbfounded... This would be impossible to do without being dumbfounded.

"This incident directly caused several serious consequences." Zhang Xing continued. "One is that Xianggong Yu can no longer act, and the saint has destroyed his confidants. In fact, he can no longer communicate properly with foreign dynasties, and Jiangdu has lost its financial supply;

The other is that the Forbidden Army has become more clandestine. In the past, the Forbidden Army openly traded with me, killed people, returned Langya, and bribed me back into the army in exchange for property. Although it was Sima's ambitions that expanded and the internal and external isolation was isolated, it also meant that the Forbidden Army as a whole was adding fuel to the flames; the last one,

As you all can imagine, Jiangnan can no longer tolerate it."

Halfway through hearing this, Xue Changxiong's expression turned gloomy, Feng Wuyi also felt disappointed, Li Li and Luo Shu were also a little uneasy, but Li Ding remained silent and did not change his expression at all.

"That happened in the summer. As soon as I returned to the army, I told Duke Xue about it. On the way back to the army, Zhou Xiaoshang raised three counties in Yiyang and Pinglu to fight against Wei. The families in Jiangdong also caught up with them. I hope I can fight with him.

They contacted each other and helped them start an uprising in Jiangdong... However, Jiangdong was too far away, and neither Chen Bin nor Xie Minghe wanted to go back, so they ignored it." Zhang Xing continued to speak. "As a result, in autumn, Jiangnan was still there.

There was an incident in Jiangxi, Jiangdong and Hunan. Except for Xuancheng, where the two masters Tuwan and Yu were stationed, and the counties below Xiangyang, where Jiujiang and Bai Hengyuan were guarding, almost no county refused to rebel... At this time, that interesting thing happened,

It happened in Changsha."

At this point, Chief Zhang's lips curled up slightly: "There is a county magistrate in Changsha, whose surname is Xiao Minghui. He is the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty, after the Xiao family of the Southern Dynasty. Several local tycoons raised an army, and in a short time they had tens of thousands of soldiers, occupying the entire Changsha.

The leader of the county was uneasy, so he found the magistrate of Xiao County and promoted him to be the leader of the left. He made the leader of the right himself. Not to mention, after occupying Changsha, not only several counties in Hunan followed suit, but also Jiangxi nearby

He had rebelled a long time ago. The aristocratic families, tycoons, and local officials from Yuzhang, Yichun, and Luling counties came to look for Xiao Hui one after another. Xiao Hui didn't know whether he was afraid of Bai Hengyuan or wanted to get rid of his puppet status, so he simply left Changsha.

We went to Jiangxi, but within half a month, seven counties gathered together, and Xiao Longtou became Chief Xiao."

"It's easier than you." Li Ding thought thoughtfully.

"It's not over yet." Zhang Xing continued. "When he arrived in Jiangxi, the True Fire Religion Army, which had been traveling east of Jiangxi Province, also came to look for him and wanted to join forces with him. The condition was that the True Fire Religion be established as the state religion in the future and be granted the title of Confessor.

The current leader was Marshal Ma, the leader of the army of the real protector of the country, so he agreed. So within twenty or thirty days, he took over all the ten counties in Jiangdong, Jiangxi and Hunan. Then he called himself Liang Gong and enfeoffed the real leader of the protector of the country.

There was a marshal, a prime minister on the left and a right, dozens of generals and county guards, and they even respected the great master who had set up a thousand gold pillar as the Taifu, the great protector of the country... Then, the heroes from the south of the Yangtze River crossed the river from the north to the south.

As far as Nanling, from Dongting in the west to Donghai in the east, they all professed their vassalage to him. The situation in the Southern Dynasties in the past was dimmed by sixty-seven points... And after he proclaimed himself Liang Gong, he did not forget to send a letter to Zhou Xiaoshang in the north of the Yangtze River, saying that I am not sensible here.

If I don't declare myself king as soon as possible, how can I enfeoff Zhou Xiaoshang and make him a duke? It's ridiculous to think that Zhou Xiaoshang can be a duke without rebelling, but he can't be a duke if he rebels, so he asked Zhou Xiaoshang to return to the Liang Kingdom and promised

The position of Duke Huang."

The rest of the people seemed to understand why Chief Zhang was sarcastic... A man who claimed to be the Duke of the country promised to be the Duke of the country. Coupled with his status, family background and territory, he might be able to become king and emperor immediately.

"This man is really lucky." Luo Shu sighed with emotion. "With just one surname, the land of ten counties was given to him for free within a month, and then the whole Jiangnan fell to his knees. Could it be that the Xiao family really had national destiny in the Southern Dynasties?"

"If you let Chen Bin go, there is no chance that this situation will happen."

Xiao Hui occupied Nanliang, that's all."

"If those people in Nanliang can't hold on, they won't be able to accomplish anything." Li Ding said something shocking. "Yang Bin killed many people in Jiangnan back then, and all the essence was lost. Now that the territory is so big, there is only one leader of the True Fire Sect.

The grand master, the grand master who is rich in gold, is devoted to curing diseases and saving people, and has never interfered in the world... Moreover, the Feng family of Nanling is really willing to give up this great opportunity and continue to be a vassal? Not to mention a group of powerful, aristocratic, Taoist, and female

Crowns, surrendered ministers, and bandits have no discipline or system. Xiao Hui, a county magistrate, is merciless and powerless. It seems that he has no virtue and no merit in his actions. How can he suppress the people below? If he can suppress him, he will inevitably have to do it.

Kill and attack, and then lose the hearts of the people. If you can't suppress it, you will inevitably kill each other and hollow out the inside. As long as 30,000 elites, with 40 to 50% of the pills, can be wiped out by going down the river."

"Indeed, I believe in Li Fujun's ability." Zhang Xing sneered. "In seven or eight days, two counties were annexed. It took only forty or fifty days to annex the land of ten counties. But I don't know when Li Fujun will annex it."
To be continued...
