Until Wei Wuji came in front of Chu Huan, Chu Huan couldn't remember the name Wei Wuji, he couldn't remember that he knew a person named Wei Wuji, when Wei Wuji and his wife stood in front of Chu Huan, Chu Huan looked at him. After a while, I finally got a vague impression, consciously, this well-mannered young man in front of me looked familiar.

Wei Wuji also seemed to know that Chu Huan would not think of him right away. After saluting, he reminded with a smile: "Will Governor Chu remember the Jingcheng Yanyunfang? At that time, Governor Chu was still working in Wujingwei."

Chu Huan thought for a while, suddenly realized, remembered, opened his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "So it's you? Mr. Wuji... yes, Wei Wuji, I remember you." Turning to Wei Wuji's wife, only saw this woman staring at her. A fringed fringed skirt, bright and beautiful, and a lavender cloud smoked sweater on the upper body, with light makeup and a single snail bun standing upright, looking very pretty, Chu Huan thought for a while, and said: "You are... oh , Miss Ziying?"

He had already remembered at this moment that when he was in the capital, he used to work in Wujingwei, and he went to the fireworks workshop with Wujingwei's brothers to listen to music and drink. He was just a down-and-out scholar who was obsessed with Ziying. At that time, Chu Huan redeemed Ziying's body and fulfilled the troubled pair of mandarin ducks. He never expected that Wei Wuji and his wife would come to Xiguan. If he hadn't met them today, Chu Huan might never think of this couple again in his life.

When Ziying heard Chu Huan say her name, she saluted, "Ms. Wei Zhou, the folk woman, I have met Chu Du!"

Chu Huan was stunned, then a little embarrassed. The name Ziying was the name of the girl who was a singer in the capital. For her, it was an unbearable past. Even this name is also a shame. I also don't want to mention that she calls herself the Wei Zhou family, which means she calls herself a wife of a good family.

"Well, Mr. Wuji, it seems like we haven't seen each other for almost two years." Chu Huan said with a smile, "How is it going?"

"At the beginning, thanks to the kindness of Governor Chu, I was able to tie the knot with my wife." Wei Wuji said with emotion: "After the farewell, I made up my mind to be a new person, and I can no longer give up on myself. It is fate to fail the exam many times. Then I lost my desire to be an official, and when I was studying, some of my classmates became officials, and I went to him to serve as an assistant, and my wife and I have no worries about food and clothing."

"That's good." Chu Huan turned around and introduced to Pei Ji: "Brother, this is Mr. Wei Wuji!"

Pei Ji had already stepped forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Young Master Wuji is polite, I'm going to Pei Ji!" When he was walking, he stepped forward with one leg and dragged the other leg up, anyone could see that it was a Lame, a trace of surprise flashed in Wei Wuji's eyes, but he reacted instantly. If he showed a strange expression, I'm afraid Pei Ji would feel uncomfortable, so he quickly restrained his expression. Pei Ji had already smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wuji, my leg is already lame. For many years, apart from not running fast, it seems that it has not had a great impact on me."

"Don't dare dare!" Wei Wuji hastily cupped his hands, and Chu Huan had already introduced: "This is my brother-in-law, Brother Pei Ji Pei!"

Wei Wuji was immediately in awe, he was able to make Chu Huan worship him as a big brother, and he respected him a lot. Of course, this cripple is not an ordinary person, he straightened his clothes and gave another salute.

Chu Huan invited Wei Wuji and his wife to sit down. Seeing that Wei Wuji and his wife looked dusty, they couldn't help asking: "Mr. Wuji, Mr. and Mrs. Wuji, are you here just now?"

"Exactly." Wei Wuji sighed: "Chudu, after the capital parted, my wife and I went to Hebei Road...!"

"Hebei?" Chu Huan asked immediately.

He knew that in the early days of the Hebei Road, it was the Qingtian King who started the uprising with great momentum. Although rebellions were inevitable in various places after the establishment of the Great Qin Empire, it was the Hebei Qingtian King who really made the noise.

The Hebei rebellion was much earlier than the Tianmen Road in the southeast. The three major salt-producing lands in the empire, in addition to the Dongkai Road and Jianghuai Road in the southeast, are also Hebei Road. Hebei Road is the third largest road among the sixteen roads of the empire. , under the jurisdiction of six prefectures, because it is a place of salt production, the tax of Hebei Province is much higher than that of other provinces. If we say that at the beginning of the empire, a series of officials made the local government clear, and when the emperor began to be obsessed with Cultivating the Tao, then the cultivation of the locality started from the Hebei Road.

Officials from all over Hebei Province formed cliques for private interests, set up clever names, extorted money, and natural disasters in Hebei Province for several years in a row, severe drought, and the tsunami that year destroyed a large number of salt farms in Hebei Province, causing heavy losses and natural disasters. , the common people are not living well, Qingtian King started from a small county, and rose up like a cloud of followers. In just a few months, Hebei Road was turned upside down, and most of the land fell into the hands of Qingtian King.

Seeing that the situation was critical, the imperial court dispatched General Zuo Tunwei Han Santong to lead troops to suppress the rebellion. Han Santong led elite soldiers to conquer Hebei. The war did not go smoothly at first. Wizards, proficient in the art of war, and there are many strange people and strange things under his command, and the four princes under his command are also famous and powerful characters in Hebei. The most important thing is that the uprising of King Qingtian in Hebei conformed to the hearts of the people and won the support of the people of Hebei. , Because of this, Han Santong and Qingtian King fought in Hebei for more than a year. In the end, Qingtian King was unable to continue fighting with Han Santong, who was supported by the court.

King Qingtian suffered repeated setbacks, and in the end he had no choice but to break it up into pieces and disperse his soldiers. Qingtian Wang's army, which once numbered tens of thousands, quickly disappeared in Hebei Road.

Qingtian King's rebel army was originally from the common people, so they hid them very quickly, returned to the people, and got the protection of the people. Han Santong searched everywhere for the remnants of Qingtian King. Although he also caught many remnants and sentenced them to death in public, he always It is impossible to kill all the people in Hebei Province. Qingtian King's power has not disappeared in Hebei, but Han Santong was unable to find Qingtian King, and even the four princes under Qingtian King were unable to capture it. It seems calm, but in fact, the hidden danger of King Qingtian has not been eliminated. He has a deep foundation in Hebei, and there is a possibility of a comeback at any time.

Han Santong told the imperial court that he would not get rid of Qingtian King for a day, and he would not return to Beijing for a day. At that time, the southeast Tianmen Dao was ready to move. Considering that if King Qingtian of Hebei rises again, the capital of the empire will be under attack from the north and the south, so he ordered Han Santong to lead tens of thousands of troops in Hebei to wipe out the remnants of King Qingtian.

It's just that when Chu Huan left Beijing to take up his post in the northwest, Han Santong was still in Hebei and still hadn't caught King Qingtian, but Chu Huan was deeply suspicious of whether Han Santong could catch Qingtian King.

He encountered many things in the Jingulan desert, the one thing that surprised him the most was that he learned from Mei Niang that King Qingtian actually appeared in the desert.

Chu Huan clearly remembered that when the tornado blew up that night, Meiniang and Qingtian Wang tried their best to rescue Heijiaohou who was escorted to Xiliang by the mission, but they almost succeeded, but a mysterious black-robed man came out of nowhere, Hei The robe snatched the Black Jiaohou, and everyone chased back and forth in the desert in the dark night. Chu Huan and Meiniang encountered a tornado, although they survived in the end, but since then, Chu Huan has never heard about Qingtian King and The thing about the mysterious black robe.

That has always been a big mystery in his heart. If King Qingtian appeared in the desert to personally rescue Heijiaohou, then why did the black robe suddenly appear and snatch Heijiaohou away? What is the identity of the black robe? , His purpose of taking away the Black Jiaohou, and what is the reason?Chu Huan has never thought about the mystery, but every time he thinks about it, his mind becomes blurred. He doesn't even know whether he will still have the chance to meet Qingtian King and Heipao. To the Red Snake Marquis who turns all living beings as charming as bone marrow.

"Yes." Wei Wuji nodded and said, "One of Wei's former classmates served as the head of the military department in Dingzhou, Dao, Hebei. I went to join him, but I became an aide in his mansion."

"So, Mr. Wuji is now on business in Hebei?" Chu Huan was puzzled, "Then this time, he worked so hard to come to the northwest from Shangao Luyuan, but he didn't know...!"

Wei Wuji sighed, shook his head, and said, "Chu Du, to tell you the truth, my classmate has already... hey, already died at the hands of the assassin!"

Chu Huan was taken aback.

"Don't Governor Chu know what happened in Hebei?" Wei Wuji was a little surprised when he saw Chu Huan's expression, "Although the news is blocked there, ordinary people don't know much, but... Chu Du is a governor, so he should know some news? "

Chu Huan shook his head and sighed: "Young Master Wuji, I don't know something. It hasn't been long since I came to the Northwest to take up the post. I haven't even sat on my buttocks yet, and I haven't figured out the things in Xiguan, let alone the things in Hebei." Leaning slightly, he asked in confusion, "Young Master Wuji, what happened to Hebei? Why was your...classmate stabbed?"

"Chu Du seems to be really unclear." Wei Wuji smiled wryly: "Hebei Road, the officials who were assassinated were not just one or two. Just two months ago, in just a few days, there were dozens of people, big and small. Officials were assassinated one after another... The Xiaoling Warehouse was raided and a large amount of money and food was robbed. At the same time, several military depots located in Hebei Road were attacked at the same time... When General Han arrived at the Xiaoling Warehouse with reinforcements, The fire was already raging there, and the robbers not only robbed a large amount of food, but also couldn't take it away, so they burned the Xiaoling warehouse with a fire."

Chu Huan was taken aback, even Pei Ji, who was always calm and calm, couldn't help frowning.

"King Qingtian has made a comeback!" Wei Wuji sighed: "The thing that the imperial court was most worried about finally happened. Overnight, Hebei seemed to be full of King Qingtian's men and horses, who had disappeared for almost two years. King Qingtian's move was like a thunderbolt. I caught Han Santong by surprise."
