Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 494

Xiangguo was called Xindu in ancient times.In the sixth year of Yongjia, Shi Le, the leader of the bandit, settled here, and then used this as a foundation to plunder the land of Youji.As Wang Jun, Liu Kun, Shao Xu and other tribes entrenched here were defeated one after another, and several tribes of Xianbei also died or retreated, Shi Le's tribe became stronger and stronger.

Afterwards, the Jin Zhun Rebellion broke out in the Huns and Han Kingdoms, and their vitality was greatly damaged.Taking advantage of this, Shi Le took advantage of the war between the north and the south, collecting more old land and people of various ethnic groups, which has become a trend that cannot be lost.

In the second year of Taixing, that is, the second year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty's establishment of Zhongxing, Shi Le proclaimed himself the Great Chanyu, and Zhao Guo established the system, which was called the first year of King Zhao.Since then, he has officially parted ways with Zhao Liuyao, the Hun Han, and became independent.Then completely annexed Youji, defeated the Duan clan of Xianbei in the north, plundered Yuzhou in the south, and attacked from east to west. After defeating the former Zhao Liuyao who was entrenched in Guanzhong, the Central Plains had no opponents.

As Jiehu became stronger, Xiangguo, as the capital of the later Zhao Dynasty, became more and more prosperous. Not only Jiehu's base camp, but also a large number of people of all ethnic groups who were plundered during the war were hoarded here, and rewards were given to Jiehu for their contributions to the war. of courtiers.

In a manor located in the south of Xiangguo, a middle-aged man with a gray beard was kneeling in front of the court with his arms bare.Behind him, there were more than [-] people kneeling likewise, in linen clothes Suge, their expressions were either terrified or miserable.

If anyone from Jiangdong came here and saw the scene in front of them, they should be shocked.Because the middle-aged man kneeling on the back of the thorn is the ancestor of Zu Yue, who used to be the general of Zhenxi and the governor of Yuzhou.This person was also a very powerful minister in the south, holding a powerful soldier in his hand, and was a prince of one side.But now, she is haggard and gloomy, only acting as a timid servant, no longer a little bit of glory in the past.

There was a rapid sound of horseshoes outside the manor. When the people in front of the court heard the sound of horseshoes getting closer, some people couldn't help trembling and weeping.Zu Yue turned his head and looked coldly to stop the clansmen from making any noises, then turned his head back and bowed down, not daring to slack off.

Not long after, the sound of horseshoes stopped in front of the court gate, followed by a series of noisy and dull clashes of armor.The sound of footsteps approached, a middle-aged man with a high nose job and the appearance of a general walked in from the outside, followed by dozens of armored guards who looked like tigers and wolves and were full of viciousness.

"Mazu, the dog under the door, and Dingkou, the old and young of the Han family, welcome the king!"

Zu Yue didn't dare to look up, but bowed deeply to the visitor, the hairs on his shoulders were already standing on end, and he even seemed to be twitching.

That Hu Jiang had a broad face, but his eyeliner was slightly narrow and long, and the light that occasionally escaped between glances revealed a cold and damp gloom, which already made people feel unkind.He was covered with light armor, and as he moved, the shirt lined with the mountain insignia was faintly exposed through the gaps of the armor.

Except for his eyes, this person's appearance is simple and simple, but if Ruo Yan said that this person has a fierce reputation, he can stop children from crying at night in this secluded place, which makes people shudder.He is exactly the son of Zhao Emperor Shi Le, Shi Hu Shi Jilong who was named King of Zhongshan.

Stepping into the court and seeing Zu Yue's attitude, Shi Hu's mouth was full of strong sarcasm. He was not in a hurry to answer Zu Yue, but put his hand on the handle of the saber at his waist, and knelt around the vestibule. The ancestors on the ground walked slowly.Every time he went to a place and looked down, he saw someone trembling uncontrollably, even cold sweat dripping on the ground.

The tip of Shihu's scarlet tongue slightly touched his parched lips, and when he walked to Zu Yue's side, he saw that there was no lack of fat and white greasy back under the thorns, and he let out an unconscious laugh.He suddenly reached out and pulled out a thorn that was tied to Zu Yue's back, and the dry and sharp thorns immediately drew bloodstains on Zu Yue's back.

A splitting pain came from his back, and Zu Yue's body was already trembling, but he didn't dare to move rashly, he just gritted his teeth and lay down even lower.However, the pain lasted longer than he imagined, Shi Hu seemed to be addicted, after pulling out one wattle, he went to another.As a result, Zu Yue's back suffered, and was soon smeared all over with blood, leaving no intact skin.Especially the subsequent thorns cut the previous wound deeper, which inevitably aggravated his pain.

"Could it be that Nanxiang's water and soil are good at nourishing muscles and bones? This old slave is also a famous general in command of Jiuzhen, and his smooth shoulders are not inferior to my lady."

While laughing, Shi Hu continued to pull out the wattle. As the wound deepened, more and more blood flowed from Zu Yue's back, and gradually released a scorching breath.He took a deep breath of blood, and there was a hint of intoxication in the corners of his long and narrow eyes, as if this blood was more intoxicating than the virgin fragrance.

Hearing Shi Hu's laughter, many of his subordinates also burst into laughter, and some even rushed into the Zu clan, grabbed some women with dismal complexions, and commented on their appearance and style!
"Is your majesty humiliating people too much! Fan Yangzu's family is also a prosperous family in the north. In the early years, the grandfather lived in Qiaocheng and looked north. His Majesty the emperor wanted to be courteous and friendly. This time, he voted because of his majesty and ability. The lord of the family may have some faults, and I can't bear to see this humiliation, begging the king to stab him to death, the hero dare not forget his gratitude!"

When Shihu and his guards wantonly humiliated Zu's family, a burly man who was tightly bound under the corridor had his eyes cracked and shouted angrily.

When Shi Hu heard this, his expression was slightly astonished, he looked at the man, and then turned to ask a handsome man behind him: "This is the ancestral slave who injured the guard?"

Before Qu Shuai could answer, Zu Yue hastened to say: "Zu's mismanagement of the family should be blamed by the king. The servant is brave and disrespectful, and I hope the king will forgive me."

Shi Hu ignored Zu Yue, but walked slowly to the strong man, looked him up and down with great interest, tapped his strong arm with his fingers, and then laughed: "He is a brave man, raised here in captivity. The idle courtyard is a bit deserted, would you like to work in my residence?"

The man hesitated for a moment after hearing the words, then he shook his head and said: "The world has received the great favor of the late lord, and the mediocrity and mediocrity are unbearable to be courted by the king..."

"It's actually a loyal and brave person, let him loose."

Hearing this man's answer, Shi Hu's face flashed with a little appreciation, and he took a step back and ordered his soldiers to say.

When Zu Yue saw this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When he was not in Beitou, he had heard a lot about Shihu's cruelty and tyranny. This time he had no choice but to take shelter of this person, but the whole family was put under house arrest and suffered humiliation.This time, the few remaining strong warriors under the command of the dark faction want to break out and pass some news to the outside. Even if they can't call the old department back, it's best to improve the situation.Unexpectedly, the guards around the manor were extremely strict, which made his plan fail, and then the scene in front of him happened.

He also used to be in a high position for a long time, and normally he would rather die than suffer this kind of humiliation, but now the lives of the whole family depend on it, and it is really hard for him to let the whole family die for a moment of pleasure.However, after hearing what Shi Hu said, it seemed that he planned not to delve into it further, and the heart that had been carrying it all the time could not help but eased a little.

"Since you don't want to serve me, but you hurt my strong man. How about this, since you are brave, choose one of my subordinates to wrestle, and if you can win, I will forgive your sin."

Shi Hu pointed at the man and said with a smile, but the man knelt down and said: "My lord has already been appointed as the king's servant, and the servant is the king's slave, so I dare not..."

But in the middle of his speech, a gust of wind rose in his ears, and he looked up in shock, only to see that the knife light had already slashed down on his head, and before he could react, his vision suddenly went black.

"My servant? Which of my servants would dare to talk to me like that! A lowly slave is disgusting..."

Shi Hu drew out his saber and slashed down abruptly, splitting the man's head open with one blow, and then slashed wildly with the saber, with a cold smile on his face, he slashed at the corpse while yelling and cursing.

"Disco..."

Seeing this, Zu Yue's eyes were shattered, and he called out the word "loyal servant" sadly, but when he was about to pounce on him, he was knocked to the ground by several soldiers swinging their guns.

After chopping up the corpse beyond recognition, Shi Hu turned back with unsatisfied interest, shaking off the blood, water, and muscles stained on the blade, and when he saw Zu Yue lying on the ground with a sad face, his face suddenly turned aside, and he shouted angrily: "Grandfather!" He is my guest, who dares to be rude to him? The offender will be punished thirty times!"

Afterwards, several people rushed up and dragged down the previous ones for execution, while Shi Hu bent down and pulled Zu Yue up with a smile on his face, and asked someone to hand him a cloak to help Zu Yue put it on his body, and then said with a smile: " I hate adultery the most in my life, will this old slave blame me for being violent?"

There were still tears in the corners of Zu Yue's eyes, he didn't know how to get along with this moody tyrant, but he glanced at the incomplete body from the corner of his eyes, and said in a harsh voice: "The servant may be guilty, and the whole body will not be left... "

"People always indulge their will for a while, and this old slave neglects me. This is not the way to be a guest. If you have a grievance, pick one in this court to do it according to the law, and I will not offend you."

Shi Hu smiled heartily, and his expression was not lacking in publicity and wantonness, not lacking in the previous viciousness.

Although Zu Yue harbored deep hatred in his heart, how could he dare to do what he said, he just kept silent.

Shi Hu didn't worry about it any more, just patted Zu Yue on the shoulder as if he was an acquaintance, looked around at the people in the court, and said, "I don't know that you have so many slaves in your house. No wonder you have to guard the cage." Boxes, unwilling to give up money. With so many people consuming it, it is natural to have a long-term plan.”

After Zu Yue heard the words, his complexion became even darker.Although he had a poor journey to the north, he was still a prince in a long town after all, and there was no lack of echoes in the captive court, so it may not be so difficult.However, there is no dignity for a person in distress. Even though there are many requests to come to the door, he is unwilling to give up, stingy and complains, causing disasters in his life, and has no choice but to throw himself under the door of Shihu. Unexpectedly, the situation will become worse.

"Your Majesty has always accused me of killing too much. He has been drunk for a long time and doesn't know how to deal with difficulties. Those untouchables are like weeds that grow in the fields. How can they be killed if you pull out one plant and regenerate ten. But today is not the same, He is already a dignified person, too lazy to listen to old voices."

When Shi Hu spoke up to this point, there was a trace of loneliness in his expression. He was not only sad because he was alienated, but also regretted that he could no longer kill indiscriminately. Is that right?"

"Your Majesty's position is different, so what he sees is different. In the future, the king will inherit the profession, and his state of mind should also change."

When Zu Yue heard the words of this beast disregarding human life, his heart was already awe-inspiring, and he had to muster up his energy to deal with it: "Zu is not talented, and he is willing to be driven by the king. merit."

After Shi Hu heard the words, he laughed: "I understand why Your Majesty treats you Jin people with courtesy. You are just a dog, and you like to make big words to please your lord. When I lived in my hometown, no one said After all these, but who can stop me from riding a horse from the north to the south! However, these words are also inspiring, go to prepare wine and food, I want to have a drink with you."

Zu Yue hurriedly asked his family members to retreat, and he personally led Shi Hu to the hall.

When the wine and food were sealed, Zu Yue held up a beautifully shaped wine urn, respectfully placed it in front of the stone tiger case, and said: "The king is the king of the world, and he should enjoy all the delicacies in the universe. This is a fine wine from Nanxiang, called Liquan Zhenjiang. , the flavor is far superior to the current turbid liquid. I can't bear to throw it away even if I go northward, so I respectfully invite you to taste it."

When Shi Hu heard this for the first time, he didn't take it seriously. He is also an alcoholic. After defeating Guanzhong, the mansion recruited a large number of former Jin winemakers to make good wine for him all day long. No one in Xiangguo dared to stand in front of him. Boast alcohol.Even if there is, the wine will naturally return to his house.

But when the clear and transparent wine was poured out, there was a strong aroma of the wine, the taste alone was completely different from what he had tasted earlier, his face couldn't help being moved, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The extremely impactful pungentness suddenly raged between the chest and abdomen.

His lips were tightly closed, his brows were slightly furrowed, he seemed to be reminiscing, he seemed to be suffering, and he was also a good drinker, but the impact of this bowl of wine on him was far greater than the previous counts.His face gradually turned red, and after a long time, he slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air mixed with a rich aroma of wine, and he couldn't help but slapped the table: "Good wine!"

After hearing the words, Zu Yue's mood improved, and he talked about the origin of this wine: "Speaking of this fine wine, there is an anecdote that it is from a family of Tuzong in Wuzhong..."

While savoring the wine, Shi Hu listened with great interest to Zu Yue's talk about those Jiangdong scenery.Zu Yue didn't know much about the origin of this fine wine, and it was just hearsay, but because of many far-fetched meanings, it was full of fun.

"A group of beam moths, how lucky are they to live in a beautiful country. One day, I will rein in my horse and face south, and my life will be happy, without killing!"

After hearing those rumors, Shi Hu couldn't help feeling more emotional, and he couldn't help but wondered: "I often hear you Jin people say that Jiangdong is a barbaric barren land, how can there be Jiarui breeding after the ugliness cross the river?" ? Could it be that there is really some good luck?"

When it comes to Jiangdong, Zu Yue also hates him deeply. If it weren't for the alienation of those high-ranking families, how could he have fallen into this situation today!

Therefore, after hearing what Shi Hu said, Zu Yue couldn't help but sneered: "What kind of good luck is added to the body? It's too ridiculous! If it is really the righteous emperor of Zhengshuo, he will not avoid living in the wasteland! What's more, the country The fact that the Zong’s family is married to Wu Zhong’s raccoon family shows how immoral it is! Maybe before the great king’s army plunders the territory, Jiangdong is already easy to control and will destroy itself!”

"The old slave said that, could it be that there are some powerful people in Nanxiang?"

When Shi Hu heard this, he couldn't help being interested, he was invincible in the Central Plains, and he really wanted to hear who else in the world could be his opponent.

"Your Majesty may not be aware of the situation in the east of the Yangtze River. The high positions are full of people with little talent and few virtues, and the descendants are even less impressive. Naturally, there are no heroes. They are just leaning on the river and pretending that there is no disaster in the world. Then The local sects are nothing more than a group of people who are mourning the country. They are not a threat to the king, but they are causing chaos. Now that the people who dare to fight and can be a deterrent are gone, many local sects will be more rampant in the future."

Speaking of this, Zu Yue casually pointed to the wine urn, and said with a sneer, "For example, the Tuzong of Wuzhong, who produces this fine wine, is a traitor of Wu Xingshen's clan. Fortunately, it is still higher than Emperor Zong..."

Shi Hu was originally interested, but he lost interest at all after listening to it. He had never heard of Wu Xingshen's.How about Liu Kun, what about Wang Jun, each of them is not a name, let alone a mere raccoon sect thief, who is not even qualified to be remembered by him.

Halfway through drinking, seeing that Shihu was in a good mood, Zuyue ordered his children to go out to meet him again, and said: "The clumsy people have no strengths, they can only drive obedience. If they can be used by the king, they will be loyal and brave in return." .”

Shi Hu was already a little drunk at the moment, he didn't bother to pay attention to Zu Yue's words, glanced drunkenly, but pointed at one of the young men with red lips and white teeth and said with a smile: "This little slave is also the son of an old slave? His appearance is far better than his father's." !"

After Zu Yue heard the words, he said quickly: "Young son, Qing Nu, grew up in Wu Township and rarely saw Yingmai. If you are rude, please forgive me..."

"What kind of baby is pregnant and has a beautiful baby, hurry and send me to have a look."

Shi Hu half-lyed in the banquet, waved his hands and said impatiently.

After Zu Yue heard this, his face turned red suddenly, but when he saw the brave soldiers standing around the hall, he finally clenched his fists in his sleeves and took his sons down. One of my concubine sent it to the hall.

"It's getting late at night, Your Majesty is already enjoying himself, Zuhou also retreat to rest."

The concubine was sent into the hall, but Zu Yue was stopped.Even though he was angry, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and turn around to leave.After walking not far, in the night, he gritted his teeth and slapped his palm on the wall.But before he was completely far away, he suddenly heard a woman's shrill cry from behind, his heart trembled, and then he traveled faster.

"Zu Hou stay behind!"

A voice sounded behind him, Zu Yue stopped and turned around to look, his eyes froze suddenly.I saw a few soldiers coming under the leadership of a middle-aged scribe. His concubine was half-naked and held under the armpit by a soldier. The blood was still bubbling from the blood hole in his chest, and he was dead.

"This woman's demeanor is impressive, but it's a pity... well, if the king is defeated, Zuhou should know the consequences. If you still have preparations, prepare quickly."

The middle-aged scribe looked at Zu Yue with an undisguised playfulness on his face.

Zu Yue froze on the spot, unable to make a sound for a long time, but soon the sword was in front of his eyes, and he said shyly: "There are many tiles in the house, there is really no one who can win against this girl..."

"That's okay, isn't Zuhou still a little slave like his mother? If after tonight, the king can be proud, we may have to rely on Zuhou to support him in the future."

The middle-aged scholar said with a smile again, seeing Zu Yue's gloomy face for a long time without saying a word, his face gradually turned gloomy and cold: "The hungry dragon waits for a long time, and the more it eats people. Is Zuhou planning to disobey the king?"

"I go……"

After saying this, Zu Yue felt that all the energy in his body had left him, and he was only left with a pair of skins.

　Dazhang counts as an addition. . .
