high official

Chapter 399 Guangling County

Moreover, this acting prince, Zhu Gui, is also the brother-in-law of the current emperor.Zhu Di married the eldest daughter of Xu Da, king of Zhongshan, and he married Xu Da's second daughter. It is said that his relationship with the emperor should be extraordinary.However, this master had a violent temper and acted out of line. In the first year of Jianwen, he was deposed as a commoner because of his crimes.After Jing Nan, Zhu Di restored the title of his younger brother and brother-in-law.However, Zhu Gui still did not improve, and was accused of misbehavior many times, and was finally sent to the third guard by the emperor.

Going to guard is the punishment second only to cutting off the king's title. You, a convicted prince, have no soldiers and have become a poor commander. Who is afraid that you will fail?Since then, Dai Wang has tucked his tail, closed the door and turned to the sky, as if he disappeared without a trace.If he hadn't passed by Dai Wang's mansion, Wang Xian would have almost forgotten that such a person existed.

"Speaking of which, the two vassal princes in Shanxi have really memorized their words in the past two years." Seeing Wang Xian looking at the Dai Palace in a daze, he whispered: "One was cut off as a guard, and the other was even deposed as a prince. Even if it is a prince, he can't sit back and relax."

Wang Xian nodded, and said in a low voice: "Although it is difficult for Jing to get started today, whoever sits on the seat of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme will be concerned about the group of vassal princes who hold heavy soldiers. The preferential treatment of the prince is just for show, secretly or It is necessary to implement the reality of cutting down the feudal clan."

"Cutting down the feudal clan?" Wu Wei has mixed feelings about these two words. At that time, Jianwen Jun lost his country because of cutting the feudal clan, which made his father and son become "rebels against the former dynasty". Wang Xian is a staff member, but he refuses to be an official, saying that it is for atonement, but in fact he still cares about his own identity.

"Well, it's just that the prestige of today's emperor is far from comparable to that of Jianwen, and his skills are much more sophisticated." Wang Xiandao: "Give him generous gold and silk, but he is not allowed to interfere in the local military affairs. A generation of vassal kings can still rely on their old background to influence local civil and military affairs, but when the old and the new change, who will buy their account?"

"You mean, the emperor is consciously changing the old from the new?" Wu Wei asked in surprise.

"King Qin, King Jin, King Dai..." Wang Xian slowly read out a series of names. These are all unlucky vassal kings in recent years. evidence, we will have the last laugh.”

"En." Wu Wei nodded in conviction. This is what he admires most about Wang Xian. He can always jump out of the complicated situation in front of him and look at problems from a high-level perspective.But going to Guangling County this time... really made him unable to understand. After enduring it again and again, he finally couldn't help saying: "My lord, Guangling County is no different from Datong. Its level of danger is no different from that of Jiulongkou last time!"

"I'm back at Jiulongkou. What is there to be afraid of in Guangling County?" Wang Xian smiled, looked at Wei Wuque who was walking side by side with Xianyun in front of him, and said in a low voice: "This guy acts secretly, but he can also see It's too big for him, it's impossible for him to want to die with me right now."

"Yeah." Wu Wei let go of half of his heart when he heard this, it seems that the lord has not lost his most precious calmness.

"Keep an eye on him and tie him to the waistband of his trousers." Wang Xian ordered in a low voice.

"Yes." Wu Wei responded.

.

After leaving Datong for more than a hundred miles, the four of them entered the mountainous area. The high mountains and mountains in the middle of winter seemed more and more lonely and difficult to walk.After actually embarking on this journey in person, Wang Xiancai had a little understanding of Datong's army. This place is really too dangerous.The road is easy to walk, but there are either cliffs or cliffs on both sides, and a large group of people walking in it is like a mermaid.

Now under Liu Zijin's command, there are already [-] troops and hundreds of thousands of people. The scope of control has long exceeded Guangling County, basically occupying the entire Hengshan Mountain. Daming Pass, all fell into the hands of the White Lotus Sect army.Of course, this was mainly due to the fact that the Ming Dynasty had long since expanded its territory to the north and neglected to guard against the inland passes, but now these ancient passes have become insurmountable natural dangers for the officers and soldiers.

To Wang Xian's surprise, he walked all the way along this official road through mountains and ridges, and found that there were many travelers on the road, some of them were carrying goods to Guangling County, and some were coming from the direction of Guangling County. If it weren't for the dangerous places on the road, there would always be white lotus priests wearing red turbans and holding red flags setting up checkpoints. It was almost unnoticed, and they had already penetrated into the 'bandit area' right now.

Before passing the checkpoint, Wei Wuque took out three red scarves and asked Wang Xian to wear them on his head. Xianyun asked, "Why don't you wear them?"

"I am a general, so of course I don't need to wear it. The three pretend to be my bodyguards, but they have to wear them." Wei Wuque
He replied with a smile, and smiled at Wang Xian: "Your Excellency, put your heart in your belly, just follow me."

"Okay." Wang Xian nodded, and gave Xian Yun a wink, and the latter flicked a small stone from his finger onto Wei Wuque's back acupoint, causing him an 'ah' in pain, and his mouth couldn't help opening. open.

Almost at the same time, Wu Wei also flicked out a small black doll, which was flying into Wei Wuque's open mouth.Wei Wuque's complexion changed, and he wanted to open his mouth to vomit, but the thing melted in his mouth, so it was impossible to vomit it out.

"What did you feed me?" Wei Wuque asked angrily.

"The Han family's ancestral secret recipe," Wu Wei said quietly, "Seven Days Bone Transformation Powder."

"Seven-day Huagu Powder?" Young Master Xianyun asked aloud, "What are the curative effects?"

"There are many curative effects. It can not only nourish yin and nourish the body, but also make people stay young forever." Wu Wei said with a smile.

"..." Wei Wuque didn't believe it, and stared at Wu Wei coldly.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you." Wu Wei gave him a reassuring look and said, "You are in your early twenties this year, and after taking this seven-day bone-dissolving powder, your bones will be as brittle as rotten wood after seven days. Fractures. Sneezing ribs can pierce the heart and lungs, and life will always be fixed at the age of 20."

"So it's such a method of eternal youth." Xianyun suddenly said. "Then I'd rather not."

"Don't come here..." Hearing their chorus, Wei Wuque calmed down, "I also know medicine and know how to use poison. Why haven't I heard of such poison?"

"Wu Tianliang, have you heard of it?" Wu Wei said calmly.

"Of course I've heard that the poison doctor who was next to Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty took the credit for poisoning the city of Suzhou." Wei Wuque said.

"That is the family ancestor." Wu Wei said with a smile.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.Hearing the name, Wei Wuque stopped immediately, and Wu Wei hit the iron while it was hot: "This prescription is a secret that has not been handed down by our ancestors. It will be effective in seven days. It will never be one day earlier, and it will never be one day later." He reminded him. Said: "If you don't believe me, try your luck and see what the joints of your whole body feel like?"

"Huh!" Wei Wuque exercised strength as he said, and immediately sweated profusely. He found that he couldn't gather his internal energy, and his joints were tingling unbearably.Finally changed his face and said: "What do you want?"

"Brother Tian Cheng, don't blame me for a small trick. You must be on guard against others." Wang Xian finally spoke, and said unhurriedly: "Who made your credit go bankrupt."

"How can you detoxify me?" Wei Wuque ignored Wang Xian for the first time, and his eyes were all on Wu Wei.

"Take one antidote every day to suppress the poison, and when we return safely, we will detoxify you naturally." Wu Wei threw him a black pill, Wei Wuque took it, and said in a hateful voice: "With the help of a villain Heart to measure the belly of a gentleman!"

"Who told you to be a hypocrite." Xian Yun sneered.

"You..." Wei Wuque got angry for a moment, but then adjusted in a blink of an eye and said, "Let's pass the test." After speaking, he stepped forward first.

"This kid is really a character..." Looking at his back, Wang Xian secretly sighed, it seems that if there is a suitable opportunity, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

.

In that room, Wei Wuque, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, became the general of the rebel army Han Tiancheng, and it seemed that he was not a low-ranking official. Along the way, the defenders let him go one after another, and even Wang Xian and the others were spared interrogation.The next morning, they finally arrived at Guangling County in the hinterland of Mount Heng.

I saw that the city was covered with red flags, and a large red flag at the gate of the city was embroidered with white lotus flowers, dancing violently in the cold wind.Behind each battlement under the banner, there stood a soldier wearing a red scarf and leather armor, watching the pedestrians coming and going from the city with a vigilant face.

At this moment, Wang Xian finally felt clearly that he had come to another world, a place ruled by the White Lotus Sect.If someone finds out his identity, he will be a man with no wings!He finally got a little nervous.But Wei Wuque became arrogant and ordered the three of them to do this and that.

The three of them exploded with anger, but Qianglong didn't want to overwhelm the snake, so he had to endure it first.

After entering the county seat, Wang Xian found that the shops in the city were open as usual, there were hawkers hawking along the street, and there were quite a few pedestrians shopping. It looked no different from an ordinary county town.

"It's all thanks to the saint." Seeing his attention, Wei Wuque whispered: "At first, General Liu didn't allow the people to buy and sell, and the city was in a depression. After the saint came, she persuaded him to change his attitude and encouraged him to do business. Collecting taxes and protecting the property of the merchants and the common people, as a result, the city quickly regained its vitality, and there are still merchants from other places taking risks to do business.”

"Isn't this what adults often say...market economy?" Wu Wei said.

Wang Xian smiled, if Gu Xiaolian thought of it by herself, then she is a genius, but even if she did it after hearing what she said, she is still a very caring and intelligent woman.

"At present, General Liu and the Holy Maiden divide the work. General Liu is in charge of the army and wars. The livelihood of these hundreds of thousands of believers is managed by the Holy Maiden. The believers in Hebei rushed to vote." Speaking of Gu Xiaolian, Wei Wuque was full of praise, and it was not just a compliment, but he said from the bottom of his heart: "Actually, there are women who are more patient than men in any dynasty, but this world, don't give it to me." It's just an opportunity for them to play."

Hearing what he said, Wang Xian couldn't help but look at him with admiration, but Xian Yun didn't take it seriously, and hummed: "The rooster is in the morning, the only way to get home!"

"You know nothing, you martial artist." Wei Wuque spat, "Stay here and don't move around, my lord and I are going to pay homage to the saint!"
