The ground was covered with fallen leaves, and two carriages were driving slowly on the official road south of Fulong County.
In the compartment of the carriage driven by Yan Gui at the back, Yan Longyu, who had just finished eating the dry food in the carriage, had nothing to do, so he took out the "Book of Confucian Confucianism and Overlord's War" written by Mr. Qin from his sleeve and read it. stand up. Hua Fengju took off the Biluo sword from his back, placed it across his knees, closed his eyes and rested. Gu Beixuan's adopted son, Mo Fei, was sitting opposite the two of them, opening the curtains and looking outside from time to time.
There was silence in the carriage for a moment. The young man named Mo Fei seemed to remember something and suddenly said: "Brother Long Yu, the two people you asked us to investigate a few days ago already have some features."
Yan Longyu, who was reading a book, came back to his senses and said, "Brother Mo, come and listen."
Mo Fei's voice is unique, thin and light, but still masculine, "The man and woman blocking your way in the alley of Fulong County are from Jinyang City in Ruzhou. The ancient sword on the man's back is Some background, named Qingdan."
Hearing the word "green gallbladder", Hua Fengju slowly opened his closed eyes and looked at Mo Fei, who was sitting opposite. He knew the original owner of the sword and blurted out: "Lu Haozhen, the Lu family of Xiongzhou, Liutizhen" A loyal heart shines brightly."
Mo Fei continued: "Yes, it was Lu Haozhen, the Lu family of Xiongzhou who claimed to be as famous as Yan Linxiao, the Sword Immortal of Xishu. According to our research at Fushen Hall, there are folk rumors that Lu family of Xiongzhou was responsible for spreading rumors. When the whole family was executed by Emperor Chunfeng, the youngest son of Lu Haozhen, the Green Dangers Sword Immortal, was not among them."
Yan Longyu said thoughtfully: "In other words, the man who stopped me, Dugu, and Yan Gui in the alley that day and made harsh words was the son of the Green Dan swordsman Lu Haozhen. In this way, he has the ability to control the overall situation. , and the only people in Jinyang City in Ruzhou are..."
Mo Fei said: "I respect the Duke of the country, Yao Chong!"
Yao Chong, one of the ten most capable ministers during the period of Emperor Shenwu, actually had no extraordinary abilities. His martial arts were mediocre and his Taoism was mediocre. However, with his flattering tongue, he could compete with Song Guangji and Luan Lingyu. Such a national leader is not a simple person. Later, because his daughter Yao was dedicated to Emperor Chunfeng, he was named queen by Emperor Chunfeng. He himself became the Duke of Chongguo who now lives in Jinyang City, Ruzhou. He became the father-in-law of the current emperor and the father-in-law of the current prince. Dear grandpa.
Yan Longyu wondered: "I can't get along with him. He is a prince, why would he send someone to kill me?"
Mo Fei said: "Yao Guogong had the best relationship with Pang Lingguan, the national advisor who was also one of Emperor Shenwu's top ten ministers. Pang Lingguan had repeatedly warned Emperor Chunfeng that the Yan family in Xishu was rebellious. My adoptive father guessed, This is why Lord Yao wants to kill you because of this matter."
Hua Fengju added: "That's right. His queen's daughter died after giving birth to the prince to Emperor Chunfeng. And the old prince wanted his grandson to successfully become the next emperor of Wu Zhao, so Yao Yao To pave the way for a family, it is necessary to clear away all hidden dangers inside and outside the court, and the Yan family of Xishu is one of these hidden dangers."
Yan Longyu and Mo Fei nodded at the same time.
Mo Fei said: "One more thing. When our people were looking for clues about those two people, they also discovered that people under Taiping General Hong Yiggang had gone to Fulong County Governor Sun Changan, and then Sun Changan was promoted and left. Fulong County, I went to Chang'an City as a farewell tour to Qinzhou. My foster father has already sent a letter to the King of Shu about this."
Hua Fengju sighed: "It seems that the leader of the eight generals in the country can no longer satisfy Hong Yin Gang!"
Yan Longyu became interested, put the book back into his sleeves, folded his hands on his lap, and looked like he was listening to a story, "Brother Mo, tell me what happened to the eight generals in the country!"
Mo Fei smiled gently and began to speak:
Eleven years ago, in the fourth year of Chunfeng, Emperor Chunfeng decreed that the only eight second-rank or above military generals in the dynasty should be appointed as the eight generals of the country, and they would be in charge of the eight largest armies in the dynasty.
The first among the eight is the only first-grade Longwei Taiping general, Hong Yiggang, who is in charge of Chuzhou's 200,000 Xuanjia army that is responsible for clearing the rebellion within the dynasty;
The commander of the Imperial City Forbidden Army, the second-grade Zhenwei General, Feng Chen, is in charge of the 100,000 Imperial City Forbidden Army who are responsible for guarding the Imperial City;
Wang Xianzhang, the rebel general of King Yong who surrendered on the battlefield during the Three Kings Rebellion, was the lieutenant general of Erpin Town. Wang Xianzhang was in charge of the 100,000 Huazhou Xuanwu Army, which was responsible for supporting the imperial city and reserving troops. It was the only one not under the responsibility of the Ministry of War. The emperor's personal army only listens to the emperor's orders;
He Ruobi, the governor of Qingzhou, the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou Navy, the second-grade Zhendong general, is in charge of the Qingzhou 100,000 Qinglong Navy;
The governor of Jiaozhou, the commander-in-chief of the Jiaozhou Army, the second-grade Zhennan General, Meng Hu, is in charge of the 200,000 Jiaozhou Army responsible for resisting the Southern Xiang Kingdom;
The governor of Jizhou, the son of Han Qi, the God of War, one of the top ten most capable officials in the world at that time, a second-grade Zhenbei General, Han Bingzhou, and together with the King of Northern Wei, he was in charge of the 400,000 Northern Army responsible for resisting the Western Front of the Northern Khanate;
The commander-in-chief of the Liangzhou Army, the second-grade Zhenrong General, Huo Chuan, was in charge of the 300,000 Liangzhou Army that was responsible for resisting the Northern Huan Kingdom and the northern front of the Khanate;
The governor of Jizhou, the commander-in-chief of the Jizhou Army, and the second-grade Zhenxi General, Guan Yunting, was in charge of the 150,000 Jizhou Army that was responsible for pacifying the Nanzhao tribes.
The eight generals in this town are Hong Yingang, Feng Chen, Wang Xianzhang, He Ruobi, Meng Hu, Han Bingzhou, Huo Chuan, and Guan Yunting.
Yan Longyu seemed to be fascinated by what he heard, as if these warriors on the battlefield were standing in front of him at this moment, being inspected by him. I have to admit that today's Wu Zhao is indeed a gathering of stars, but it is unknown whether this person's heart is aligned.
When Hua Fengju heard Guan Yunting's name, he smiled knowingly and said to Yan Longyu, "Do you know why the lame old man Gu Beixuan called your father Brother Yan?"
Hearing the words "lame old man", Mo Fei narrowed his eyes and smiled. No one had dared to call his adoptive father that way in so many years, but he knew that the man in front of him was okay. Yan Longyu asked: "Why?"
Hua Fengju narrowed his eyes and said, "Because this eldest brother is the current Governor of Jizhou, Guan Yunting."
Shu is divided into three states: Jian, Shu and Ji. Shu is the core of Shu. The three states are adjacent. Jian is in the northeast of Shu and Ji is to the west of Shu. It is one of the nine border states of the Wu Zhao Dynasty. The governor of Jizhou is the head of this state.
Hua Fengju frowned and said, "Your father sworn sworn vows with eight people in Shuzhou. If I remember correctly, Guan Yunting ranked first, your father ranked second, and Old Lame Gu ranked fourth. Who else is here?"
Mo Fei smiled respectfully, "There are also my uncle Mo Jin, Shangguan Qingyang, now the second master of Jianzhou Yushan Sword Ruins, and the four deceased seniors Wei Chong, Li Chongshan, Xiao He, and Wu Wuling."
Hua Fengju smiled and said: "Oh, yes, there are nine of them. The so-called nine swords of Western Shu are ridiculous, hahaha! It turns out that the swordsmith Mo Jin is your uncle. No wonder Old Lame Gu will accept you as his uncle. Yoshiko."
Hua Fengju, who has long since reached middle age and has lost the arrogance of the past, now recalls the past, squinting and smiling like a child.
It was also the first time that Yan Longyu knew that he had so many uncles. No wonder he always liked to call Hua Fengju uncle instead of uncle since he was a child. Maybe he was used to calling him uncle when he was a child in Xishu, "Oh, I will regret it when my uncle comes to use it!"
…………
Noon.
The two carriages passed by a stone tablet with "Han Yuan County Boundary" written on it.
The young man finally walked out of Fulong County.
