In the next few days, the people in Chenzhou City were extremely busy. A lot of wood was sent to the temporary workshop. Zhao An also drew drawings and handed them to the craftsmen.
The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building.
The people in the city were not blind. A big shot from the imperial court led thousands of people to attack Fuyun Mountain and returned with a great defeat. However, the big shot did not leave Chenzhou and even recruited many workers. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something fishy inside.
On Fuyun Mountain, Huitong looked ugly. Just now a disciple reported what happened in Chenzhou. He had a hunch that Zhao An would never give up, and perhaps there would be big trouble in Fuyun Mountain next.
Thinking like this, he walked alone across the gorgeous palace to a secluded bamboo forest courtyard in the back mountain. He paid homage to the bamboo tower and said, "Teacher, Zhao An seems to be planning to attack Fuyun Mountain. What should we do?"
A woman's gentle voice came from inside the door, "He is still so protective of his shortcomings. As for how to deal with it, you can make your own decisions."
"But what if we can't stop it?"
"It doesn't matter, just try your best."
The woman's voice disappeared.
Huitong wanted to say something more, but after opening his mouth, he swallowed what he wanted to say.
The teacher doesn't care about worldly affairs, and everything on the mountain is coordinated by him. Now that he has offended Zhao An, it is fitting that he should lead his disciples to fight back.
Three days passed in a flash.
The capital sent men and horses, and Tongwuhou personally led the Fifth Army Commandery Mansion. Twenty thousand soldiers went south, and even Wu Shi followed him.
Behind the army were many baggage vehicles, wrapped in heavy oilcloth, and it was unknown what was underneath.
The craftsmen in Chenzhou City have completed the work.
Half a day later, the capital army was stationed outside Chenzhou City, and Tongwuhou and Wuji met Zhao An.
Zhao An prepared delicious food and entertained the two of them, while Qiao Yan accompanied them to the banquet.
Wu Tongue said strangely: "Master Zhao is so generous, is he planning to raze Fuyun Mountain to the ground?"
Zhao An did not answer, but smiled and said: "This time the governor seconded my father-in-law to the Queen Mother, I will not treat you badly. If anything happens, I will be responsible for it. You two can rest assured."
"You're not a trouble-maker." Tongwuhou rolled his eyes.
He knew that Zhao An was the boy who broke into the prison of Jingzhao Mansion and killed people that day, and he felt emotional for a while. The reason why he stayed in the capital and continued to be loyal to the imperial power was for the sake of Zhao An, a great talent.
Next, Zhao An briefly explained his plan. In a word, Fuyunshan hurt his woman and he wanted revenge.
Marquis Tongwu was very happy, "Just because of this little trouble, we mobilized a large army to destroy Fuyun Mountain. Can you, the boy, have some achievements?"
"Everyone is fighting for their breath, and Fuyunshan is arrogant. I just want to tell them who has the final say in this world."
Zhao An put down his wine glass heavily, his words leaving no room for doubt.
Marquis Tongwu knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he simply shut up.
After the meal, Zhao An quietly handed Wu Shi a stack of treasure notes and asked Qiao Yan to take him into Chenzhou City to relax.
After the two left, Zhao An took Marquis Tongwu to the study alone.
Marquis Tongwu said suspiciously: "You kid, say it directly, don't be hesitant."
"I want to know everything about Champion Hou." Zhao An's face darkened and his expression became serious.
As expected, Marquis Tongwu froze, stroking his beard and came to the window in silence.
Zhao An asked eagerly: "I know that you have an irreconcilable relationship with the Champion Hou. When the Hou's family was destroyed, you were also implicated, but you should know the inside story."
"Boy, it's a thing of the past, why are you still asking about these things?" Marquis Tongwu asked with a half-smile.
Of course, Zhao An would not say that he might be the still living son of Champion Hou Na. He only said that he accidentally found a guqin in Xincheng, which should be the relic of Champion Hou, so he wanted to know more about it.
"The champion has been a prince all his life and has made a great name on the battlefield. When the enemies hear his name, they all change their colors. It is a pity that a famous general of this generation cannot be defeated by Emperor Xin Ruyuan."
The old face of Marquis Tongwu was full of sadness, and he spoke sadly about the past.
He and the champion Hou were brothers who licked blood at the edge of a knife. They served on the battlefield together and killed enemy chiefs to the point of being frightened by the news.
It was just that the cunning rabbit died and the lackey was cooked. After the peace of the Great Xia, the late emperor began to purge the meritorious ministers. The champion Hou realized that if he did not leave the court, he was afraid of disaster, so he went to the East China Sea on the pretext of being seriously ill.
He originally thought he could survive for a lifetime, but the late emperor was still worried. After killing the hero, he would still summon him to Donghai County and ask him to evaluate whether he was right or wrong.
The champion has always been cautious. Even if his closest brother's family was wiped out, he did not show any disobedience.
Until one year, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to bring the head of his adopted son, and the young general died with his eyes open.
The princess couldn't bear it and set up a memorial tablet to commemorate the young general. Then a strange scene of a hidden dragon ascending to the sky appeared in the East China Sea. The imperial envoy returned to the court and told him that the champion Hou was resentful because of the death of his adopted son. He was inspired by the dragon spirit in the East China Sea and wanted to help him ascend to the great world. position, to avenge the adopted son.
"Isn't this nonsense?" Zhao An interrupted with a frown. Marquis Tongwu laughed and said: "You also know that it is nonsense, but it was like this back then. I also know that the imperial envoy stayed in Donghai County for so long and waited until the so-called He returned to the capital only after the vision appeared, and the strange scene was caused by the late emperor's orders."
"No one from the court stopped me?"
"Yes, I stopped him, and then my house was ransacked and exiled, and some of them were beheaded." Marquis Tongwu sighed, and after being silent for a long time, he continued: "I once wrote a letter to the champion, hoping that he would escape, but After all, misfortune was not avoided.”
"Who sent those Jianghu people! And what exactly does King Chu want to get?"
Zhao An asked a lot of questions in one go.
Marquis Tongwu said in surprise: "You know quite a lot. It seems that you also felt that the late emperor made a mistake."
"Of course it's wrong! Don't think that because that old guy is the late emperor, I don't dare to scold him. If he were alive, I would have to spray him to death!"
Zhao An opened his mouth to curse, maybe it was the memory of the original owner. Every time he talked about the championship, he always felt that there was a knot in his heart that could not be relieved.
"I don't know the identity of Jiang Hu, but the Palace Master of Fuyun Mountain was also present at that time..."
Speaking of this, Marquis Tongwu suddenly looked strange, "Did you come to Chenzhou just to find out the secrets of the past?"
"Okay, I admit it." Zhao An smiled bitterly and expressed his thoughts, but it was only to pursue a truth, not to have anything to do with the champion.
"Boy, you have something to ask for, but you still want to start such a big battle. What? You want to kill the palace master?"
"Of course not. I just went up the mountain and avenged Yin'er. It would be better if I could conquer Fuyun Mountain for my own use."
Zhao An doesn't blush when he brags.
Marquis Tongwu was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to complain.
Back then, Chen Guogong didn't want to surrender to Fu Yunshan, but he was killed and lost his armor. He didn't even see the face of the palace master.
