Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1464
As one of the few real power factions in Jie Guoxin Capital, Zu Qing naturally settled his family in Huguo Temple.

In addition to his newly married wife, Mrs. Zhang, there are also some other ancestral clans who followed his father in Beitou in the early years, and some loyal but aging generals.

Originally, Zu Qing had several elder brothers, but after his father Zu Yue passed away, several elder brothers also died due to various reasons. Zu Qing also grew up by luck because he was a servant of the Jie Lord for a long time when he was young. .

And now, apart from Zu Qing, the direct descendants of the Zu family have only one cousin, Zu Daozhong, the bastard son of his uncle Zu Ti. , Obviously unable to take on the important task of family business.

But Zu Qing also knew that he was already walking on the edge of life and death, and he was in danger of dying at any time, so he might not have the opportunity to inherit the blood of his family, because he used the power in his hand to serve as a guardian for this church after he was appointed to the post in Jie Kingdom. The elder brother accepts the concubine, but he just hopes that even after his own death, the family can still have blood.

But when it comes to treachery and cunning, Zu Qing is a bit inferior to Zhang Jack after all.When the Huguo Temple incident happened that day, not only did he fail to control Zhang Jack in time, but even the family members who secretly sent his cousin out of the city were detained, and then sent to the Huguo Temple.

As a result, Zu Qing fell into a predicament of riding a tiger, and the last chance to fight with his life was controlled by others. Originally, he planned to send his cousin away from Xindu. If he really had no way out, he would simply kill him. Even if he died here, his ancestor Daozhong would be able to benefit from it and live in the southern country to pass on his heirs.

But things have come to this point, there is no point in blaming others, and Zu Qing is definitely not a person who is willing to give up easily. The hardships and hardships of living among tigers and wolves when he was young have already shaped him into a tenacious character.

On this day, things seemed to take a turn for the better. The day before yesterday, the newlyweds in his family were taken home by Zhang Jie. Zu Qing went to pick up his wife after finishing his stay today, and Zhang Jie also took Zu Qing to talk about current affairs. , and gave Zu Qing two choices.

After returning to his family's temporary residence in Huguo Temple, Zu Qing summoned several confidants and generals to discuss what to do next.

"Although Zhang Thief said that there is still no trace of the king's master in the field, the situation is still not optimistic. After checking the affairs of the Southern Kingdom, he has always advanced aggressively. Long-term obstacles, soon, there will be soldiers coming to the city!"

Zu Qing frowned and analyzed: "The way things are done in the southern country, Zhang Thief feels more deeply, because today he will let me discuss the future in detail. He no longer has the confidence to guard this place, he wants to send me away from here and go north, and wants to borrow My family's voice is paving the way between the secluded and the dark..."

The few people in the room, even if they are not generals of the Zu family, are all extremely close, enough to be worthy of their lives.Hearing Zu Qing's words at this time, all of them were overjoyed: "It's true that the heavens are not indifferent to the loyal family. If Alang can take advantage of this time to leave Xindu, he will have a vast world to wait for. At that time, no matter whether he goes north or goes south, he will have a lot to do. ..."

Zu Qing sighed after hearing the words: "I refused."

"How could Ah Lang..."

"Is there any fraud in it?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened, and they looked at Zu Qing with surprise.

Zu Qing sighed: "The one who can get rid of my family's old sins is only within this city, and there is nothing outside. If I go to the south, I will still be a traitor in the south. But if I go to the north, Wang Shi's power is unstoppable. There is no need to rely on me to help the people and restore the frontier. I will not abuse the weak voice of my family to plead Zhang's way..."

"But at present, the human relationship in the city is broken, and there are enemies outside the body. It is already a very dangerous place. Even if Alang stays here, what else can he do?"

Another family member expressed his grief, deeply regretting that Zu Qing gave up such a rare opportunity to escape from Xindu.

"Sigh, I still failed to live up to my lord's great trust and failed to send my grandfather's blood heir out of Xindu in time, which caused my lord to be in a dilemma..."

Another person said with regret and remorse that this person has a raised nose, sunken eyes, and narrow forehead. He has a very obvious appearance of Jie people, but he can participate in such a confidential meeting of the Zu family, and the rest of the Zu family will not be surprised.

This Jie man was named Wang An, and he was Zu Ti's servant in the old years. Zu Ti did not harm him because of his status as a barbarian, but gave him property and goods to return to Hebei.Afterwards, this Wang An made great achievements in the Jie Kingdom and became a warrior, but he never forgot the old kindness of Zu Ti.

Even if it wasn't for his efforts to preserve it, I'm afraid even Zu Daozhong, the only blood of Zu Ti, would be harmed by people who have evil thoughts about Zu's family, and he would not be able to become an adult.

And Zu Qing plotted trouble in the Huguo Temple earlier, and he entrusted Wang An to escort Zu Daozhong out of the city, but the letter was too chaotic that night. First, Yan Wang Shi Bin who returned to the country was killed, and then many people attached to Zhang Jackal In such chaos, Wang An failed to send Zu Dao out of Xindu in time, which led to the current situation.

Hearing Wang An's self-blame tone, Zu Qing said a few words of comfort to him: "It was too chaotic inside and outside Xindu that day, and it was because I didn't arrange it well. Now that I think about it, it's a good thing that my brother was blocked in the city. Even if you go out of the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape safely. Wang Jun can cherish the old favor and help my family, Qing is already grateful, and as for the failure of the plan, there is no need to blame yourself for it."

As he said that, he turned to look at the other generals, and said with a smile: "Although I rejected Zhang Thief's arrangement, I accepted another appointment. I will go to the West Hall to be in charge of the guard in front of the hall tomorrow. Now the evil lord It's already in the fence, and it's useless to stay there, but Empress Liu and the heir are in the West Palace, if I am like this, I will also have a lot to do."

The others still need to be persuaded, because they understand that Zu Qing had no intention of dying for the country of Jie, but now he wants to take the initiative to get deeper and deeper, and it is clear that he has the will to die.

But Zu Qing didn't give them a chance to persuade them. He directly raised his hand to stop the words that a few people were about to blurt out, and then sighed: "Father pays for his debts. In the old year, my father rebelled against Jiangdong, so that Jin Zuo was in danger. Uncle fought all his life. Fa Jiuxun was even more ruined by it. I was able to survive by luck, it was God’s blessing, and I don’t want to do nothing in this life and live up to God’s will. Even if I die here, I hope to leave a little honor for my heroism.”

"However, I also know that Thief Zhang has never treated me with any kindness. If he uses it again this time, he must be secretly plotting against him. Because Dongtai is staying overnight, he must not relax. If he really dares to rape and murder me, he will burn Dongtai and die with him. !"

Speaking of this, Zu Qing already had a look of determination on his face.Shi Hu is currently detained in Dongtai, but due to the uncontrollable forces such as Zhang Ju outside the city of Xindu and Shi Zun, who he had walked along before, even Zhang Jackal dare not harm Shi Hu without authorization, and he is unwilling to bear the burden of murder. Your notoriety.

In today's Dongtai, all the gates were nailed to death, and Shi Hu was detained there, leaving only a few palace servants to take care of him.In order to prevent Shihu from sending out news, even the daily food supply was only sent to Dongtai in a hanging basket.

Therefore, even Zu Qing, it is difficult to directly contact Shihu at present, if he really wants to inflict harm, he can only set fire to Dongtai, and burn the tyrant completely.

Zu Qing planned in his mind that after he went to the west hall to stay overnight, he would wait for the opportunity to get rid of Empress Liu and the crown prince Shi Shi in the west hall. As for the east stage, he should also keep trusted people to guard him, and at the same time set fire to Shihu to death.These few people are the most core figures under the Jie Kingdom, and they are also the key bargaining chips for Zhang Jackal to barely control the situation in Xindu. If there is any loss, Xindu will collapse immediately.

As for Shi Zun, who was released by him before, even Shi Hu, the real emperor of Zhao, has been backlashed by his subordinates. Shi Zun, a mere fake king who rebelled against Yu Kou, will not be the opponent of the king of the Jin army.

But in Zu Qing's plan, there is still one link that cannot be made up, and that is his cousin Zu Daozhong who is also in Huguo Temple right now.Even if Zu Qing took advantage of the internal and external chaos when the Jin army attacked the city, but divided into two routes, there was still not enough force to protect Zu Dao and withdraw from Huguo Temple.

After pondering for a moment, Wang An said: "Since my lord has made up his mind, please temporarily leave the Dongtai affairs to me. I have lost my life before, and now I don't dare to ask for it again. But the great kindness of my grandfather, I must repay it." Ji Long is cruel, a villain like no other in the world. Although I belong to the same family, I am deeply ashamed. Mr. Lang is willing to sacrifice his life to wash away the old crimes of the family. There may not be no righteous men in Hu! See you in Huangquan at that time, and return to your life generously!"

Zu Qing had no doubts about Wang An's statement.He was born in the barbarian court for a long time, and seeing the ugliness of many people, he would not be pedantic enough to believe that Jin people must be good and Hu people must be evil, not to mention that Wang An's loyalty has been tested all year round, otherwise Zu Qing would not let him join this In secret meeting.

Zu Qing's plan is to attack internally. It is conceivable that as long as the Jin army's king division has not completely invaded Xindu, no matter whether it is the East Terrace or the West Palace, the attackers will not be spared.At this time, Wang An asked Ying, and Zu Qing no longer insisted on it, and nodded in response.

And he really felt that Wang An was not the best candidate to protect Zu Daozhong. He knew Wang An was loyal, but the Jin army outside the city didn't know. Because of his strong attitude, he was besieged and killed by the Jin army.

With Wang An in charge of Dongtai affairs, Zu Qing can devote himself to arranging the assassination of the West Palace, and at the same time reserve a group of family members to escort Zu Dao back to Jin.

In fact, if he really waited until the Southern King's army knocked on the city, Zu Daozhong had a good chance of successfully escaping. The morale of the army in the city was already low, and there would definitely not be many people who would work hard to stop the breakouts in the city.What's more, if Zu Qing can succeed, Zu Daozhong will be the only one who will benefit Yu Ze for his great achievements. Even if it falls into the hands of the city defense Jie army, those Jie troops will probably be eager to send Zu Daozhong's gift to the Jin army's camp.

After some conspiracy, it was late at night, suddenly there was a strange noise from the secret room, Zu Qing's expression changed suddenly, and he rushed out of the room with a sword in hand, only to see his newly married woman standing on the porch with a clean face.

The A-Dong lady saw her husband rushing out with a sword, and her expression was not lacking in ferocity, her pretty face was full of horror, she covered her mouth and whispered, and then said softly: "I saw that the husband's room was still lighting the lamp late at night, so I asked the cook to take care of me." Treat soup, no, not on purpose..."

Zu Qing didn't open his mouth, he raised his hand to stop the other generals who were about to rush out in the room, the sword in his hand trembled, and pointed at the lovely and pitiful Zhang's lady from a distance, at the same time, his eyes were fixed on the lady's face, with faint eyes cold.As for the two servants who stayed behind but were negligent due to sleepiness, their sleepiness had completely disappeared at this moment, they were shivering, and they prostrated themselves on the ground.
