The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 177
Zhou Guangxun crawled back to the stable along the ditch, took out his armor and saber, put them on, covered them with stone slabs, spread straw and restored them to their original state, and left after checking that everything was correct.

Looking up at the sky, it was already dawn.

When he left, he never thought about coming back.

Zhou Guangxun smiled bitterly, feeling like an invisible big hand was playing with him.

The elegant young man's voice and smile appeared in his mind, and he felt a little chilly all over.

Perhaps just as the young man said, from the moment he had the idea of ​​​​escape from Puzhou City, his life was no longer under his control.

Who is that young man?

Although I have never met him, I feel like he knows me very well?
Are there really people in the world who can predict the future?

Zhou Guangxun shook his head, Guo Wei had many talented people under his command, and it was due to the fact that Li Shouzhen and his son were almost exhausted.

This may be God's will!
Zhou Guangxun took a deep breath, dispelled the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and his eyes became firm again.

He strode towards the south gate and began to think about how the plan would unfold.

On the second day, taking advantage of the opening of the inner city gate and the opportunity of the grain guard to deliver grain to Luocheng, Zhou Guangxun sent his cronies to sneak into the inner city, find a warehouse in the east of the city where the shopkeeper was surnamed Bi, and brought the news.

In the afternoon of that day, Bi Hongyu sent the news to Fu Jinzhan.

Fu Jinzhan was sitting in the bedroom, holding a piece of fluttering paper, forcing himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, clasping his hands together and silently chanting peace in his heart.

God was merciful after all, and gave her a chance to survive, so that she would not have to be buried with Li Shouzhen and his son at such a young age.

There were only a few words on the note, but it was related to her life and death. Fu Jinzhan read it countless times and firmly remembered the agreement conveyed by Bi Hongyu.

"Little prince~" the maid's voice came from outside the house.

Fu Jinzhan was startled and hurriedly swallowed the note into his mouth, chewed it hard and swallowed it.

The door of the room was pushed open suddenly, and Li Chongxun walked into the room with a gloomy face.

In the past year, Li Chongxun has experienced ups and downs.

In Chang'an, Li Shouzhen announced his independence from the Han Dynasty and made him the crown prince of the King of Qin and the marshal of the army. He was so prosperous at that time. Looking around, all the land in Guanzhong was under the banner of King Qin.

Li Chongxun originally didn't have much ambition. He just wanted to inherit the glory and wealth left by his father and enjoy peace.

However, at the beginning of the army, the good situation determined by Guanzhong's message allowed him to truly see the power of power. The title of Prince Qin's son above his head was really majestic for many days.

Tasting the taste of power, Li Chongxun gradually became obsessed with it. Like Li Shouzhen, he dreamed that one day he could lead the Qin army out of Tongguan, march on Luoyang and Kaifeng, overthrow the Liu Han court, and then unify the Central Plains, adding another title to the title of king. A white hat.

Unfortunately, Li Chongxun's dream was shattered very quickly. As Wang Jingchong and Zhao Siwan were defeated and killed one after another, the imperial court appointed Guo Wei as commander-in-chief. Pujin Pass failed overnight, Tongguan was in danger, and Qin's power quickly shrank to the Puzhou City area.

Nowadays, even Puzhou City cannot get out.

Li Chongxun couldn't understand why he lost so quickly?
In fact, he didn't want to flee to Shu with Li Shouzhen, leaving his hometown and becoming a humble person. What's more, a defeated prince like Li would have no power and power in Shu and could only be ridiculed by others.

Fu Jinzhan stood up and looked at him warily, with a pair of scissors hidden in his sleeve.

After not seeing each other for half a year, Li Chongxun has become much older. He is not even thirty yet, and most of his hair is already gray, and the wrinkles on his face are also much deeper.Although he is still dressed in splendid clothes and jade crown, compared with the image of a rich and handsome young master more than a year ago, he is completely different.

Seeing Fu Jinzhan, Li Chongxun was also stunned. He softened his expression and said with a wry smile: "We haven't seen you for a long time. Madam has also lost a lot of money."

Fu Jinzhan said coldly: "What's the matter with you?"

Li Chongxun sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and sighed: "Suddenly I remembered that I haven't visited my wife for a long time. I will come to see you when I have time today. How is your wife doing?"

Fu Jinzhan sat down some distance away and said calmly: "It's good to be alive."

Li Chongxun said bitterly: "Madam, don't you want to know how the battle is going outside the city?"

Fu Jinzhan shook his head and said: "Privilege Guo is leading the army. You will definitely be defeated. Puzhou City is tall and strong and difficult to conquer. The best strategy is to encircle it without attacking it and wait until the city's food supply is exhausted."

Li Chongxun gritted his teeth and looked a little ugly: "Madam, do you really hope that my father and son will be defeated?"

Fu Jinzhan said coldly: "You two have gone against the grain and conspired to rebel. They are despised by everyone in the world. For your own selfish interests, you have put the people in Guanzhong into dire straits. How can you be undefeated? If you and your son are allowed to gain power, then the sky will be blind."

"That's enough!" Li Chongxun became furious and smashed the tea cup.

Fu Jinzhan looked at him and said calmly: "You and I are still a couple. When I was imprisoned, it was you who went to the Grand Master to plead for mercy, so that I could have a moment of freedom every day. You are not an ambitious person. Now it is only because of the influence of the Grand Master that he has fallen to this point.

Listen to my advice, Puzhou City will be destroyed sooner or later. Why don't you persuade Taishi Kaicheng to surrender and ask the court to forgive your sins? I will also ask Fu to intercede for you.Don't continue to resist stubbornly, lest you end up dead without a burial place. "

Li Chongxun's face was ashen and he roared: "How can the imperial court let me go, Li family, now that we have reached this point? Kaicheng surrender is tantamount to seeking death! Even if the city is finally defeated, as long as we break out and escape to Shu, we will There is still a glimmer of hope."

Fu Jinzhan sighed softly, shook his head and shut up, looking at the stubble-covered man with a crazy and ferocious face, his eyes showed a bit of pity.

If Li Shouzhen hadn't insisted on going his own way, why would he and his son be like this?
If Li Chongxun was not too cowardly and obeyed his father's orders, why would he be like this?

The ending of the two of them may have been doomed from the beginning.

Li Chongxun thought of something, opened his bloodshot eyes wide, and said with a crazy expression: "Madam is the direct daughter of the Fu family, and Guo Wei from outside the city is also a family friend of your family. Why don't you write a letter immediately, asking the Fu family to raise troops in Yanzhou, and then Deceiver Guo Wei to delay the time. When the Fu family raises troops, Kaifeng will be shaken. By then, the siege of Puzhou City will naturally be resolved!
If the two families join forces and give it a try, there is no chance! "

Fu Jinzhan stood up loudly, the pity in his eyes was replaced by anger and disgust. Li Chongxun was hopeless.

"As long as Madam writes a handwritten letter, Duke Wei will definitely raise an army to save you." Li Chongxun said almost pleading.

Fu Jinzhan said sternly: "Even if I die, I won't let Mrs. Fu bear the reputation of being a traitor and a traitor! You can leave. From now on, you and I will no longer be husband and wife!"

Li Chongxun's face turned green and red, his eyes full of resentment and anger, and he screamed angrily: "Bitch! If you don't want to save my Li family, then you will be buried with the Li family! When Guo Wei breaks the city, I will I will kill you with my own hands and then commit suicide! If you want to draw a clear line with the Li family and leave Puzhou City alive, it is absolutely impossible! You are born as a Li family, and you will be a Li family ghost when you die!"

Fu Jinzhan's face was pale, and Li Chongxun in front of him was as ferocious as a demon from hell.

Li Chongxun slammed the door and left, shouting at the maids and guards outside the house: "From today on, this bitch is not allowed to step out of the door! Watch her carefully. If there is any mistake, all of you will die!"

The maids and guards bowed down tremblingly, and Li Chongxun left angrily.

In the house, Fu Jinzhan looked at the door being chained and shook his head with a wry smile.

She secretly clenched her fists. The real moment of life and death had arrived. She must find a way to escape from the palace, otherwise she would definitely die when the city was breached.
