Chapter 79: Cao Chi's Rebellion
With the death of those Confucian scholars, the post house fell into a long silence. This silence seemed to be contagious, and even the entire Yangnan City fell into deathly silence.
In the past two days, vague news has spread in the territory of Guizhou that the people who killed these great scholars were a group of bandits. Coincidentally, after these bandits told the story of the murder, they were killed by a knight
Slaughter them all.
All that is left to the world is a confession of unknown origin.
In the past two days, countless eyes have quietly gathered in that small post house, just because the Yong'an King in the post house has been too eye-catching recently.
First, the Yangnan garrison was wiped out, and the death of the Yangnan prefect had an inexplicable connection. Then, the great scholars who came to denounce Xiao Chen died mysteriously outside Xiao Chen's post house. Yes,
Almost all the people in Yangnan can testify that Xiao Chen's bodyguards did not take action against those great scholars.
Moreover, the real murderer has also been revealed, but there are so many smart people in the world. They are simply unwilling to believe this. In their opinion, those great scholars died at the hands of Xiao Chen.
It’s just that Xiao Chen is calm and has never left the post house in the past two days. There are rumors that two knights from the world sneaked into the post house the day before and tried to assassinate Xiao Chen. In the end, some people in Yangnan just listened.
There was a brief sound of swords clashing in the post house, and calm quickly returned.
In the post house, Han Che had finished his training for the day. Looking at Ouyang Xu who was sitting beside him in a daze, Han Che was a little curious.
His master seems to be hiding many secrets. Let’s not talk about his strange name called Jiu Ri. Let’s talk about Ouyang Xu’s attitude towards him. Apart from telling him everything when he teaches him, as long as he is accustomed to
Wu's time has passed, and the master can hardly speak half a sentence to himself.
In martial arts, Ouyang Xu could easily solve any problem that Han Che could think of, not to mention the assassination a day ago. His master easily killed an assassin with just one finger.
Even Han Che's mind was still shaken when he recalled that terrible method.
In his opinion, his master must be a super strong man, even stronger than his father during his lifetime.
Han Che was very curious, wondering what his master had experienced in the past and what secrets he had hidden in his heart.
As the sun set, Ouyang Xu leaned against the pavilion pillar, looking at the golden setting sun with a look of reminiscence on his face, feeling slightly absent-minded.
"Master, you have tea." Han Che's voice came.
Ouyang Xu turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw Han Che holding a cup of tea in both hands in the pavilion, looking at him respectfully.
The expression on his face instantly turned displeased. Ouyang Xu looked at Han Che coldly and said, "Did I tell you not to disturb me except when I am practicing martial arts?"
Looking at Ouyang Xu with a cold face, the young Han Che took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say: "As the saying goes, once a teacher is always a father, my mother often told me that when a man is alive, he should repay his kindness with a drop of water and a spring of water.
, No matter how you treat me, master, I will treat you like a father."
"Father?" Ouyang Xu narrowed his eyes, feeling that these two words now seemed so mocking.
"Then did your mother tell you that the revenge for killing your father is irreconcilable?" Ouyang Xu asked softly.
Han Che was a little confused as to why Ouyang Xu said this, but when he mentioned his biological father, little Han Che's eyes instantly revealed a glare as sharp as flames.
"To be honest with you, master, the reason why my disciple learned martial arts is so that one day he can personally kill Ouyang Xu and kill the enemy who took my father's life." Han Che said with great determination.
Seeing Han Che's serious look, Ouyang Xu laughed to himself, his laughter becoming more and more wild and crazy.
Is there anything more ridiculous in this world than cultivating a person who will kill himself?
Facing the crazy Ouyang Xu, Han Che was at a loss for a moment. He was telling the truth. Naturally, he wanted to avenge his father's death by himself. He didn't understand why his master was laughing, but he still said
, he simply doesn’t believe that he can do all this?
"Master, I'm serious. Don't think I'm young, but with your guidance, I believe I can kill Ouyang Xu one day." Han Che added hurriedly.
Ouyang Xu slowly put away his smile, looked at Han Che, who was no taller than his shoulders, and said with deep meaning: "Do you know that the person who killed your father is even stronger than your father? Do you want to kill him?
, how much effort do you think you need to put in today?"
Han Che looked at Ouyang Xu blankly and said, "Is that person stronger than you, master?"
Ouyang Xu was silent for a moment, then said with a dumb smile: "Almost, but as long as you can defeat me, you will definitely be able to defeat your enemy."
…
In Xiao Chen's small courtyard, Xiao Chen was lying on a lounge chair, quietly looking at the setting sun in the sky. As the sun continued to set, the originally dazzling sun suddenly became softer, giving off a little red halo, illuminating the surroundings.
The clouds are all rendered in light red.
After two days of fermentation, the impact of the death of the great scholar finally spread between Wei and Guizhou. Although Lu Lengyan found someone to resist the charge of killing the great scholar as promised, but for the people of Wei who could not vent their anger, the group of
The bandits who had been killed were obviously not enough to vent their anger. Therefore, Xiao Chen became the only outlet to vent his anger. More and more forces began to get ready to take action. In addition, Ye Han of Guizhou Kingdom also quickly arrived in Yangnan.
, there is a turmoil under the calm appearance of Yangnancheng.
The courtyard door opened, and Wu Liang walked quickly to Xiao Chen and whispered: "Your Majesty, something happened over there in Kyoto."
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and said: "Isn't the prime minister in charge of the overall situation in Kyoto now? What will happen?"
Wu Liang said with a smile: "Prime Minister Fang Zhi is also a legendary figure. When the Wei State was weak, Prime Minister Fang Zhi advocated many reforms, which stabilized the current situation of Wei State. But in the final analysis, Your Majesty, Fang Zhi is not
He is just a civil servant, what can he do if he encounters some force majeure?"
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and said with a look of thought: "Now that all the major princes in the Wei Kingdom have rushed to the Guizhou Kingdom, what other force majeure events can happen?"
As if he suddenly thought of something, Xiao Chen suddenly reacted and said: "Could it be that that..."
Wu Liang nodded flatteringly and said: "Yes, it was Cao Chi, King of Zhen'an. Bai Qi imprisoned His Majesty in Yong'an. After killing Han Feng, Cao Chi raised his troops at starry night under the banner of safeguarding the royal family and Wei State.
After arriving in Kyoto, due to Cao Chi's previous reputation, the prefects along the way did not dare to embarrass Cao Chi, so it was not until Cao Chi was about to arrive in Kyoto that the incident completely broke out."
"Although those scholars were ignorant, ignorance also had the advantage of ignorance. Knowing that Cao Chi's cavalry was planning to usurp the throne, the civil servants headed by Fang Zhi strongly opposed it and mobilized the Kyoto garrison to stop Cao Chi.
"
"But who is Cao Chi? After all, he is a talented person who once conquered the Guizhou Kingdom and was as talented as Bai Qi. Just one day later, Kyoto was already in danger. There was no other way. Fang Zhi could only issue the Qinwang Order to all the heroes in the world.
.”
Hearing Wu Liang's words, Xiao Chen couldn't help but think of the past of King Zhen'an.
There should have been seven princes in the Kingdom of Guizhou, namely Linghu Chu, King of Xunxi, Xiaochen, King of Yong'an, Ji Sheng, King of Douzhan, Shigu, King of Huai'an, Jiang Mo, King of Longxi, Yanquan, King of Saibei, and Cao Chi, King of Zhen'an. In addition to Cao Chi,
The remaining six people are all kings with different surnames. In addition, Cao Chi has made great contributions to the Wei State. If Cao Chi's biological mother had not been born in a humble background, Cao Xun might not have been the throne of Wei State today.
Due to these particularities, when people in the world talk about princes, they subconsciously exclude Cao Chi, so the seven princes become six princes.
During the years when Cao Xun was the emperor, he often looked at Bai Qi's eyes. Many ministers saw it, but they were helpless. In private, many ministers secretly discussed that if Cao Chi became the emperor, they might be able to restrain the evil.
Bai Qi of this lifetime.
It's a pity that the work is done. If the state of Wei had remained stable, Cao Chi and Bai Qi might never have the possibility of communicating with each other again in this life.
However, Cao Chi's move to attack Kyoto this time was like a stone dropped on the calm water. It can be predicted that the situation of the entire Wei State will undergo earth-shaking changes because of Cao Chi. Naturally, the first to bear the brunt is the Wei State that has already attacked
Bai Qi stared at him with eager eyes.
With a chuckle, Xiao Chen murmured: "It seems that this time, Bai Qi and Cao Chi are finally going to collide head-on for the first time."
Wu Liang also nodded and smiled: "Cao Chi's move seems to be a threat to Cao Xun's rule, but in fact it touches Bai Qi's interests. However, their fight can give the prince some breathing space.
, this may be a breathing opportunity for us."
With a slight snort, Xiao Chen stood up and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Where is Bai Qi? After hearing the news, he shouldn't be able to sit still, right?"
Shaking his head, Wu Liang said in a deep voice: "Bai Qi's trip has already entered the hinterland of Guizhou and will arrive in Kyoto in the near future. I think it will take some time for him to receive the news."
Xiao Chen nodded and murmured: "In that case, let's help Bai Qi and order the Qunying Pavilion to send ten people to chase Bai Qi at starry night. We must pass this news to Bai Qi as soon as possible."
Wu Liang bowed and said, "I understand!"
Wu Liang left quickly, and Xiao Chen looked at the empty courtyard gate, thoughtfully.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen smiled slightly and shouted at the door of the courtyard: "Wuwei, go and invite Mr. Ji to come. I have important matters to discuss with him!"
