Chapter 462: Shi Kuo Destroys the Luan Clan (9)

Xu Wu saw that the guests' emotions were almost aroused, so he raised the wine lord, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "We are drinking and enjoying ourselves here, but we don't know where Lord Luan is freezing and starving. My heart is troubled! ”

The scene suddenly became silent, some of the guests lowered their heads, and some of their eyes began to moisten. Xu Wuming ordered the musicians to exit the room and continued: "If I welcome Lord Luan back to Quwo, what are your plans? ”

Someone said: "If I can welcome back Lord Luan, I should serve him with death, even though I am still not dead!" "The same opinion was being expressed, some were already shedding tears, and the mournful atmosphere began to rise and spread, and military anthems began to be sung loudly in unison. Seeing that the time was ripe, Xu Wu suddenly stood up and shouted, "Since you all have the same belief, then please ask our Lord Luan to appear!" ”

Luan Ying slowly walked out from behind the scenes, and the people present almost couldn't believe their eyes, and when people were sure that the dusty young man in front of them was Luan Ying, who had disappeared for two years, they fell down to express their deepest feelings for Luan Ying.

Luan Ying also knelt down and bowed to the people, thanking them for their loyalty to the Luan clan and their dedication to forgetting their lives.

At this time, Xinjiang was still ignorant of what had happened in Quwo. After mourning the filial piety of the Jin people, they were busy preparing for the princess's marriage. In Xinjiang, a large number of people of all kinds come and go every day, and the city and outside the city are full of busy scenes, and the busy and disorderly state is a good opportunity to start a rebellion.

Luan Ying sent a secret envoy to Xinjiang, hoping to gain Wei Shu's support. Looking at the entire Jin Kingdom, only the Wei clan can be counted as an ally of the Luan clan. The intimate relationship between Luan and Wei stems from the colleague relationship between Luan and Wei Jiang; In the "Battle of Delay" (the 14th year of Lu Xianggong), Wei Jiang's disregard for Zhongxingyan's orders and insisted on following Luan Huang to withdraw is proof of the relationship between the two.

However, almost all the other big families have enmity with the Luan family: Zhao Wu resented the Luan family because of the "difficulty in the lower palace" created by Luan Shu forty-three years ago; Han and Zhao have always maintained a traditional friendship; BOC Wu resented Luan because of Luan's disobedience to his father's orders in the "Battle of Delay", and Zhiying was young (only 17 years old at the time) was not yet able to handle political affairs, and everything was up to BOC Wu.

Although most families hated the Luan family, except for the Zhongxing clan (Fan and Zhongxing established an in-law relationship), others did not have a good impression of the Fan family. People think they are too arbitrary and greedy; There is no power that he does not want to touch, there is no transaction that he does not want to meddle in; He completely lost the good qualities of Shihui and Shixie, and he was simply the second Luan; And Shi Yan relied on his father's power to be domineering and arrogant, and he was more like Luan's son.

Wei Shu fell into deep thought at Luan Ying's handwritten letter. He sympathized with Luan, and it wasn't that he didn't want to help Luan Ying; However, the success rate of attacking the Fan Xingtong rebellion was extremely low; Once the operation fails, the Wei clan will follow in the footsteps of the Luan clan and perish.

The messenger saw his doubts, so he said: "The Jin people all know that Luan and Wei are one, how can the major families hate the Luan family alone and let the Wei family go?" The reason why Fan Kuo hasn't attacked the Wei family yet is only because the Luan family is still holding him back abroad. If the Luan clan loses, Fan Kuo's next target must be the master. Fan Kuo is even more hated than Sanhe back then, and the whole country will thank us for getting rid of the scourge for the office. Luanzi has already won the support of the Seven Doctors, and our chances of success are quite good, and after success, the Jin Kingdom will be in the hands of Wei and Luan; Master is a Chinese general, Luan Zi is willing to be your assistant, and your merits will surpass Shi Wuzi. ”

Wei Shu lay on the bed tossing and turning, sleepless all night, and the next morning, he finally made up his mind to help Luan Ying.

In the early morning of one day in April, Luan Ying led 2,000 armor soldiers and 50 chariots from Quwo. The vanguard of the rebels is the giant of the Jin Kingdom and the first strong man Du Rong.

The army arrived outside the eastern suburbs of Xinjiang the next morning. Xinjiang City was still a bustling and peaceful scene, and Shi Kuo was chatting with Le Wang Kun at home, enjoying Le Wang Kui's flattering words such as bravery and wisdom to himself. The reporter suddenly broke in and said that the rebels led by Luan Ying were about to enter the city. When Shi Kuo heard this, his body was like chaff and cold sweat, and he completely lost his proud and complacent appearance.

Shilu's house was next to the east gate, so he was the first to receive the news. He asked Le Wang Kui tremblingly, if it was still too late to escape, and what kind of small people he dressed up as would not attract attention.

Le Wang Kun said: "The master immediately protects the prince and enters the solid palace, and no one will be in danger." The enemies of the Luan clan are all over the country, but the master is a respected archon; The Luan clan came in from outside, and the master sat in Xinjiang, and our advantage was too great. We have people and the Master, and the Son is in control, what is there to fear? Luan's fellow party is probably only Wei's. But the master can also take Wei Shiqiang over. The key to defeating the rebellion is power, don't slack off, start acting now! ”

Shi Kuo realized that he had just made a fool of himself, and immediately changed to a serious appearance. He called Shi Ying and ordered him to kidnap Wei Jiang, and if he failed to do so, he would kill him even if he wasted his own life. The martingale gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and ran out with a few retinues.

At that time, due to the death of the Duchess Jin's father, the funeral was not over, and the mourning lady and the palace people were still wearing mourning clothes. Le Wang Kui asked Shilu to put on a woman's mourning dress and ride into the palace accompanied by two female companions. The streets along the way were already in chaos, people were shouting and running home, the gates along the streets were closed, and the ground was littered with items discarded by the panicked people of the country.

Shi Kuo wore that ridiculous and humiliating clothes to see Jin Pinggong and sent him to the Gu Palace. Gugong is the palace of the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, it was specially built to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, the palace is small but strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The vanguard of the rebels had already broken through the city gates, but the Luan forces arrived half an hour earlier than scheduled. Wei Shu lived in the western part of the city, and he had to hurriedly order the preparations to begin. Wei's chariot drove out of the house, and the clan armor lined up behind the car, and the weapons glowed with a cold and dark cold light. Wei Shu boarded the chariot and was about to give the order to march, when he suddenly heard the sound of the chariot coming from the right, and he immediately saw Shi Ying's car turning from the side street.

Wei Shu was overwhelmed by the sudden change, his face was red, and his voice couldn't come out when he pressed it in his throat. Shi Ying approached him, jumped into his chariot, held the sword in his right hand, and grasped the harness (a strap with the function of a handrail) in his left hand, and said: "The Luan clan has led the thieves into the city to make a rebellion, and my father and the princes are in the palace to protect the prince and prepare to resist the enemy; My father commanded me to meet my master. I will be the Master's attendant, so let's hurry up! ”
