Yecheng, Gaorui Mansion.

The warrior galloped to the gate of the mansion, jumped off the horse, and immediately a soldier came to lead the horse, and another person led him to the mansion.

After entering the gate, there were more than ten people standing on each side. Large shields were erected in front of these people, covering most of their bodies. They held crossbows and pointed them at the door.

The samurai knew that they were one of his own, but seeing this posture, he couldn't help but tremble.

After entering the second gate, it was still a familiar scene. Both sides were still guarded by crossbowmen. A high platform was built in the distance, and there were warriors standing there, holding torches, ready to light beacon fire at any time.

The warrior walked towards the corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there were Xianbei warriors holding spears.

The warriors looked around fiercely and were ready to fight at any time.

The samurai walked all the way to the inner courtyard, was interrogated and frisked, and was confirmed not to be carrying weapons before being put into the inner room.

The originally luxurious Prime Minister's Mansion now became bare and particularly bleak.

The big trees in the courtyard were cut down, and many pavilions that blocked the view were also destroyed, making it look like a mess.

The samurai walked to the door of the inner room.

He swallowed, quickly bowed, and read his name aloud.

"Come in."

A steady and powerful voice came from inside the house.

The warrior opened the door and walked in.

The room was even more messy, with many documents being thrown so casually on the ground, with almost no place to stay.

Gao Rui sat directly across from him. He seemed much thinner than before.

His cheeks were sunken and his eye sockets were slightly blue, but his aura remained unchanged. Sitting there, he looked like a dragon and a tiger, with his whole body stretched out and looking very majestic.

"King!"

Gao Rui raised his head, his eyes burning brightly.

"explain."

"A great victory at the frontier fortress. More than 100,000 Turks gathered outside Youyan in an attempt to plunder. The governor of Youzhou, Lanling King Gao Changgong, and Yanzhou Sima Zhaoyong's general Yao Xiong sent troops to attack them. They killed the Turks and captured the picture.

More than 20,000, more than 100,000 cattle, sheep and horses, and countless grain, grass and flags were obtained."

"ah?"

Gao Rui was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, stood up in a hurry, took the initiative to take the battle report from the opponent, and read it several times.

"Hahahaha~~~"

"good!"

"Very good!"

"Prince Lanling is truly worthy of being the grandson of Shenwu!"

"Why didn't I realize in the past that he has such ability? God will not destroy our Daqi!! After Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, and Liu Taozi, there is also Gao Changgong!!"

"Unless God perishes, we will be together."

Gao Rui's hands holding the battle report were trembling, he fumbled over and over again, and his voice was trembling.

"In the past there were five tigers, but now there are four heroes!"

"When will the heads and flags be delivered to Yecheng?!"

Gao Rui asked quickly.

The warrior looked troubled and did not dare to speak.

"What's wrong?"

"They have been sent to Wuchuan."

Gao Rui didn't get angry, he just smiled and said, "Pick a few people and go together and give Liu Taozi an order to pick one or two of the trophies and send them to Yecheng to celebrate."

"only!!"

The warrior asked again: "Your Majesty, if you are General Wei."

"It's okay. You go and tell Liu Taozi: it's enough for many warriors to make up for the loot. Ask him to send someone over as soon as possible."

"only!!"

The warrior turned around and left, walked out of the inner room, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During these days, Prince Zhao's temperament changed drastically and his behavior became more and more irritable. Even the old people who had followed him for many years did not dare to speak casually and were always vigilant for fear of suffering disaster.

He still misses the old king even more. In the past, the king was always kind and kind to others and won the hearts of the people.

The warrior left.

Gao Rui then walked out of the inner room, and the sunlight seemed a little dazzling.

Gao Rui put on a new set of clothes. He called a few times, and immediately a guard came running over.

"Prepare the car!"

Soon, the soldiers outside the door began to move. Soldiers rushed out of the mansion in a steady stream and began to guard along the road, driving away people and clearing the road.

In the past, Gao Rui always kept a low profile when traveling, but these days, he has to keep a high profile. He has offended too many people, many of whom are ruthless people who hold military positions. The characteristic of nobles is that they often do it first.

Besides, I don’t think much about the consequences.

Three days ago, someone tried to break into his mansion.

This is why his mansion has become so fortified, like a military camp, and going out has become a dangerous thing, and his guards and officials have to be extra vigilant.

The warriors shouted loudly to drive away pedestrians along the road.

Pedestrians did not dare to refute, and walked away from the avenue with their heads lowered, and ducked into the side alley.

The man secretly watched from the alley as the soldiers rushed out of the mansion in the distance. He took something out of his arms and threw it to the other side of the wall behind him. Someone seemed to catch the thing there.

Gao Rui quickly took to the street, sat in the carriage, and galloped towards the palace.

There are soldiers guarding the left and right, and knights in front and behind clear the way.

Even in the carriage, he was followed by his confidants.

Gao Rui leaned back slightly, his expression relieved a lot, "It's finally a happy event. It would be even better if we can severely injure Yu Wenhu this time."

He suddenly looked at his confidant sitting opposite, "Do you think Liu Taozi can defeat Yu Wenhu?"

The officer was stunned and didn't know why he asked himself this, "General Wei is good at fighting, so he will definitely win."

"Yang Zhong, Yuchi Jiong, Quan Jingxuan, and Da Xiwu. Aren't they good at fighting?"

"this"

"I think the success or failure of the matter depends on Yu Wenhu. If he sits in the rear, trusts his generals, lets them be the commander-in-chief, and gives them full authority to attack with 200,000 people, no matter how brave Liu Taozi is, he can only

I can’t resist even if I’m afraid.”

"But if Yu Wenhu wants to go into battle in person and command the army, then I'm afraid he will send the army to the battlefield."

The officer nodded, "What the king said is absolutely true."

Gao Rui suddenly whispered: "How could Da Qi lose to Xi Hu if he can win?"

The officer was even more afraid to speak.

There was a sudden noise outside, and the officer was startled. He immediately stood up and stood in front of Gao Rui.

Soon, a soldier came to the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be a murder at the Wu family restaurant on the way. There are officials taking people away. Do you want to avoid it?"

"Homicide?"

Gao Rui asked.

The officer hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I may be trying to lure you there on purpose. I think I'll take a detour temporarily and ask about this matter later."

"parking."

"well"

The officer sighed, but still protected Gao Rui from the car. Surrounded by many soldiers, Gao Rui walked quickly to the scene.

The Wu Family Restaurant is somewhat famous here, mainly because this family originally came from the south and has been here for two generations. Most of the food they cook is southern food. Many people are curious and often come here to eat.

gained some fame.

At this moment, the originally peaceful restaurant was abuzz with excitement.

You can faintly smell the fishy smell of blood.

Several people in the store fell to the ground and kept running out.

Among the many officials and soldiers, there were several people protecting a young man. The man was luxuriously dressed, and his whole body was carefully crafted and decorated. He was exactly the type of person Gao Rui hated the most.

He was drunk, but he was not afraid at all when facing many officials and scolded them loudly.

Gao Rui appeared here with his soldiers, and the officials rushed to see him.
