In this chaotic noise, the storyteller of a certain teahouse in the capital is unique.

He still tells the story of the champion Hou Zongheng.

Still using his language to describe the man who is like a god of war.

Unaffected by external noise.

A guest asked him with a smile, if the champion Hou is really as invincible as he said, why would he ignore all these noises, would a great hero let others splash dirty water at will?
The storyteller just said.

"Let's see, these words to the champion now will be repaid one by one one day."

These days, major events in the capital followed one another. After Champion Hou's rebellion, today's emperor issued another decree, and Mighty Marquis went to the frontier.

What's more, the frontier wars, the barbarians are like the weeds, once they are harvested, they will grow again in the spring of the next year, and the sand will never end.

But today's transfer order is really weird, what a mighty Marquis, and the frontier war situation is not in a life-and-death situation, so why bother this person coming out of the mountain?
What's even more strange is that Marquis Mighty Wu didn't have any objection, received the decree, and went to the frontier the next day.

The dignitaries only felt that there was a layer of mist in front of them. Champion Hou and Wei Wuhou had accidents one after another. They always felt that something far-reaching had happened in a place that ordinary people could not see.

While they were still secretly thinking about the ins and outs, another shocking news came.

The prince rebelled.

However, compared to Champion Hou, the prince's rebellion did not have that much impact on people.

After all, the current prince has been in power for more than forty years.

A prince of more than 40 years is really rare even if you look at the history books. In fact, some people have already judged that the prince will definitely rebel. It's just a matter of time.

I just didn't expect that this day would come so late.

His Royal Highness must have suffered a lot in his heart if he could bear it until today.

As for the result of this rebellion, needless to say, it naturally ended with the annihilation of the entire army of the prince and his henchmen.

Although His Majesty is more difficult to say as he gets older, and his various behaviors are judged by others, he may only be able to get a man who is not like a Mingjun, but he has made great efforts to govern when he was young, and his high-spirited appearance is still in front of his eyes.

Even if he is old, the means are still there, and the emperor's mentality of playing with balance has not been lost, but has become more proficient with the growth of age.

Sometimes this court is like playing chess, whoever can't help it first, whoever loses concentration first, loses.

This is a sentence that the emperor repeatedly mentioned to the prince when he was young.

He thought he had forgotten.

After all, so many years have passed.

But now he lives in a secluded cold palace, and he can't even see himself all day long, so he slowly remembers many things.

Including the teachings of the father and emperor.

Only then did the prince suddenly realize that he had never forgotten from the beginning to the end.

It's just, father.

Erchen remembered too late.

After all, he couldn't survive the person on the cold throne.

The prince encircled the Lenggong, and all his henchmen were beheaded. Caishikou continued to be lively for half a month. Steamed buns to dip, folk rumors, human blood steamed buns have magical effects, can cure all diseases.

But there are very few who can take out steamed buns, and more are just steamed buns, or worse.

Before leaving, the officials who supervised the beheading heard those people gathered together talking about the famine again.

I heard that there is no rain in March.

He looked at the bustling surroundings.

He looked at the sun in the sky again.

He glanced at the Minghuang palace wall without any trace of his gaze, and then retracted it immediately in the next moment.

How can there be a famine in this world?

But what can he do?

Thinking of the refugees eating Guanyin land to satisfy their hunger.

However, the emperor is still supplying his unrealistic dream of longevity with the treasures of gold and silver sent from all directions.

He wanted to sigh, but for some reason, he suddenly laughed.

It's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous.

The atmosphere in the capital is getting weirder and weirder.

News of natural disasters and man-made disasters from all over Dazhou is crowded here.

And this is not a rumor without roots. You only need to climb up to a high place and look a little far away, and you can see the crowds outside the city, those are all hungry people fleeing.

Here the earth dragon turned over and buried an unknown number of people.

The floods over there flooded and destroyed countless fertile fields.

In addition, there was not a single drop of rain in March, and the earth was scorched and cracked.

The refugees didn't even look like human beings, they fell to the ground one by one, opening their mouths in vain, just waiting to die.

The grass roots and bark are gone.

Secretly, there are rumors that the natural disaster and man-made calamity fist is related to today's perversity, and the dead warriors who belong to His Majesty have been dispatched one after another, as if a big net has enveloped the world, and there is a bloody storm of killings in a short time, and I don't know how many good people have lost their lives.

But the faint mouth of the world,If you want to block, you can't block it at will.

Obviously, today's emperor also knows the truth that blocking is worse than sparse.

Gradually, new rumors began to spread.

The story is still the same story, because of someone's fault, God sent down punishment, which made natural disasters and man-made disasters one after another.

But the protagonist of the story has changed.

From His Majesty the Emperor to Lord Marquis the Champion.

In this way, the effect is immediate.

The emperor's reputation slowly improved, but the champion, on the contrary, seemed to have become a heinous devil.

Even in children's games, the most unpopular person plays the role of the villain champion, while the others are heroes who stand up for the heavens.

To have such miraculous effects, the emperor's method is one aspect, and on the other hand, the knights of the rivers and lakes also played a pivotal role in it.

Even if there is no benefit in pouring dirty water on the champion Hou, they are eager to join in.

Champion Hou is almost like a street mouse.

Probably this is what people think today. With Lu Mingfei’s pride, he is slandered like this. He will definitely not be able to sit still no matter what. As long as Lu Mingfei exposes his traces, he, as the most noble in the world, has some ways to solve it. drop each other.

But what is incomprehensible is that after being slandered like this, Lu Mingfei can still bear it and hide himself well. He doesn't know how many people have been thrown out. Did not catch.

Champion Hou... Can you bear this?

Those who learned about this incident couldn't help but look down on Lu Mingfei.

Just how to find this person?
The emperor's gaze crossed the Minghuang palace wall and turned to the place where the rivers and lakes were located.

People in the rivers and lakes also have the usage of people in the rivers and lakes.

Although they don't obey discipline and do their own way, as the saying goes, rats have their own ways, it may not be possible to fight them in the battlefield like a champion, but to find someone in this world, the power in the hands of the emperor may really be inferior to these knights.

So, one after another secret letter was sent to the sects all over the world.

When the headmaster saw the wax paint on the letter, his pupils shrank suddenly. There was probably no more noble existence in this world.

However, why did this person write to them for no reason?
Open the letter with complicated feelings.

Continue until they finish reading it.

The dignified look disappeared.

There was even a little more joy on his face.

"Champion Hou, Champion Hou."

"What a champion."

They gritted their teeth, as if they had seen the death of the man in the bronze mask.

There are a few sects that are different.

Such as Huanshapai.

The headmaster received the letter, read it for a long time, and finally put it on the candle and burned it.

Facts have proved that the trick of mobilizing people in the rivers and lakes is extremely correct.

The news about Champion Hou, which had already been cut off, soon became available.

They found the champion Hou and his party in the port city on their way to Fusang.

Speaking of which, this direction was originally one of the places that the imperial court focused on, but before that, they could only rely on the court's men and horses, the emperor's dead soldiers, and they couldn't find it. After all, the focus of their training was to fight head-on, similar to the fact that people were looking for traces. It's not what they are good at.

It was only after getting help from people in the rivers and lakes that there was a breakthrough.

…………

The door opened.

The one at the door was Sakurai Kogure.

Erika smiled, and suddenly a few more kunai appeared in her hand, but fortunately, Sakurai Kogure stopped it in time, and the tragedy was avoided.

From behind Sakurai Kogure, several men dressed as scholars walked out.

They saluted Erika respectfully, and the leader smiled wryly.

"The sinner is free and childless, I have met the champion Mrs. Hou."

Happy Five Sons...

Erika was thoughtful, but soon remembered.

"It's you!"

Back then when my husband went to Pingjianghu and killed people in the Jianghu, he caused a group of so-called Happy Five Sons to sneak into the Champion's Mansion, trying to threaten Lu Mingfei by doing something bad for Eliyi.

Fortunately, the champion Hou's mansion is heavily guarded, Xiaoyao's five sons fled, and Eliyi was not in danger.

It's just that this encounter angered Lu Mingfei, and he led an army to destroy the Huansha faction, and at the very moment, it was Eliyi who persuaded Lu Mingfei with a letter.

Recalling these, Erika couldn't help but feel strange.

Speaking of which, the five Xiaoyao sons had a feud with their husband, so why did Sakurai Kogure bring them here?

The emotions in the hearts of the five Xiaoyao sons are also complicated.

They didn't expect that the devil they identified in the past, who was determined to do justice for the sky, would now meet in such a capacity.

After clearing up his mood, the leader of the five asked.

"Has Master Hou ever been here?"

"He's not here, just tell me if you have something to say.",

The five Xiaoyao sons looked at each other, pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

"That's fine."

After that, he said.

"You have to leave as soon as possible."

"Someone has already discovered it."

Eriyi's complexion changed.

"The person who killed you is on his way."

…………

Borderlands, army camps.

Mighty Marquis Wu held the book of war, as always.

His own soldiers came to report.

"General, the grain and grass have been robbed."

Mighty Marquis responded lightly.

There was silence in the camp.

The soldiers are waiting for the next words from the mighty Marquis.

Finally, he heard what Master Hou said.

"How many days do we have enough food and grass?"

"Barely enough for three days."

"Three days?"

Quiet for a while.

"Use three days of food and grass for one day, so that the soldiers will be full."

"Send troops in the future."

"But the general..."

The soldiers almost blurted out.

But after seeing Hou Ye who was as calm as ever in the hall, he finally lowered his head.

Said in a trembling voice.

"As ordered!"

The soldiers left to convey the military order of the mighty Marquis.

The camp was empty, only Marquis Wei Wu was left.

He finally put down the book of war.

Mighty Marquis looked in the direction of the capital.

After a long time, I wrote a letter with a pen.

"To Bai Xiaosheng, he knows where to send this letter."

"Yes."

A person came out of the darkness and knelt in front of the mighty Marquis.

He took the letter, but did not leave immediately as usual.

"Master Hou."

"Since you have done so much for him, why didn't you tell him?"

Rarely, there was a warm expression on the mighty Marquis's rigid face.

"This one."

he said.

"When you have a child, you will know."

The nature of Mighty Wuhou's speech today seems to be very high.

He didn't stop there, but continued to talk.

"Raising children is also a science."

"It's not mentioned in the sage book, but in my opinion, the truth in it is not as light as any other sage book."

"It's really interesting to study slowly."

"Well, when you come back, I'll talk to you carefully."

The man also put on a relaxed tone.

"So it's settled."

"After I deliver this letter, I will come back to find you, Lord Hou."

He changed the subject and said nothing.

"However, I think that there is someone who is more suitable to listen to your reasoning than me."

Mighty Marquis is so quick-witted, he immediately realized who this person was referring to.

He smiled.

But he said something unprecedented.

"If there is a chance, I also hope to talk to him about the truth of this."

"There must be a chance, my lord."

"I hope so."

…………

The carriage was running quickly, and the strange thing was that the driver was actually a woman in red.

An array of cavalry clenched behind them.

If she was simply fleeing, Erika would definitely not be wearing such eye-catching clothes.

So at this moment his duty is not to escape.

It is to attract the main force of the chasing troops and buy time for Lu Mingfei's transfer.

Let the time go back to a day ago.

"Kill our people!"

"Exactly!"

The five sons of Xiaoyao came here specially to send news.

After delivering the message, they left.

But the help of Huansha faction is not limited to this.

They dispatched a considerable amount of manpower to help the champion Hou Bu with a trick.

Eliyi also asked curiously, wondering why the Huansha faction did this.

"Act according to the order of the head."

This is their answer.

Eriyi thought of the head of the sect who was about to draw his sword and commit suicide. This was what Lu Mingfei once told her. Eriyi was deeply impressed, and it was rare to hear positive comments from people in the Jianghu from her husband.

Unexpectedly, at this desperate moment, it would be him who stepped forward to lend a helping hand.

"On behalf of my husband, I would like to thank the head of your sect, Gao Yi."

"Ma'am, you are serious."

As soon as Xiaoyao Wuzi left, Erika and Sakurai Kogure discussed it.

Up to now, there are very few available manpower in hand, and most of the strength of Champion Marquis and Mighty Marquis had been lost when they broke through the siege of the capital, so the most feasible solution is actually...

"Split up, I will go together, and you will take your husband together."

Erika said to Sakurai Kogure.
