"Your Majesty, you can't say that." Shuju whispered: "As women, we have to rely on one person. If our husband and children cannot rely on us, we can only rely on our brothers. My elder brother is Ehou.

He is so powerful that even the king has to be afraid of him. Having such a powerful brother is a blessing that I have accumulated over several lifetimes!"

"You are right. Your Majesty broke up with me and forced me to be sterilized. Now I have no choice but to rely on my mother's family." E-shang thought thoughtfully: "All love and the title of queen are fake. As long as

My brother is powerful, who dares to underestimate me?"

It had been snowing for three days. Mr. Wei and Xu Shi caught a cold and stayed indoors to take medicine, without seeing Kui Duoyou in person. Three days later, the snow finally passed and the sky cleared, so Kui Duoyou planned the visit.

We are on our way back to Chaoge. When the next snow comes, if we are lucky, we can catch up with half a month's journey.

Everything was agreed upon, and Kui Duoyou knocked on the door to invite the young master. After knocking several times, a young man's voice came from inside: "Is this General Ziliang? Please come in."

The voice sounded strange. Could it be the young master and his newly bought servant? Wei Duoyou felt suspicious and pushed the door open. He saw a teenage boy sitting next to the kang.

They are similar in appearance, but obviously taller. When the young man saw Wei Duoyou, he immediately stood up and saluted: "I am the concubine of the young master and his retainer Gongsun Yu. The young master and his father left Hangu Pass three days ago and rushed back to Chaoge.

went."

"Ah? What?" Wei Duoyou was shocked and asked instinctively: "Why didn't the young master tell me clearly and left quietly by himself?"

The young man bowed deeply: "So that the general will know that my father and Mrs. Jun are worried that the young master will be in danger on the road. To ensure safety, Xiao Ke is here to pretend to be the young master and go on the road with the general."

Only then did Wei Duoyou understand that he had used the child and himself as a cover on the road, so that the real body of the child could return to Chaoge quietly. But why did he do this? He suddenly thought of something: "

Could it be that Prince Wei is deliberately doing harm to Young Master?"

The young man didn't say much: "I just acted according to my father's instructions. It's not easy to ask what happened. I can't answer the general's question."

Seeing that he responded politely and advanced and retreated in a measured manner, Wei Duoyou found it interesting and asked: "If the prince really takes action, and your father does this, but puts you in danger, you won't blame him?"

Unexpectedly, the young man didn't even think about it, and replied with a stern look on his face: "Father is the guide for son, and as a son, he can only obey his father's orders. How can I dare to complain? The young master and Mrs. Naijun are the only legitimate son, and he is also the favorite of Marquis Wei.

My youngest son is extremely noble, and it is an honor for me to go through fire and water for him. What's more, my father is just a concubine and grandson of the Xianwei Marquis. He was taken in by your wife, and was able to assist the young master, marry him as a personal maid, and create a new life through kindness.

How dare you have two ambitions?"

"So that's it!" Wei Duoyou thought to himself: It seems that the newly appointed wife of Marquis Wei, the mother of Young Master He, is not a simple woman! Yes, how can she survive to this day with so little skill in the harem?

Only a woman like her mother who is beautiful but has no intentions is truly a lamb to be slaughtered.

The young man saw that he had been brooding, but he thought differently and spoke for the young master: "General, please do not blame the young master. He left without saying goodbye because of your wife's strict order and because of my father's force. The young master wanted to talk to the general."

I made a powerful statement but didn't get a chance to say it. Please forgive me, General!"

"Where are you talking? Am I the kind of person who promotes narrowness?" Wei Duoyou patted the young man's shoulder hard: "Boy, Young Master He is not that easy to pretend. From now on, if you can't show your face on the road, then don't show it. !Lest the secret be revealed.”

"No!" The young man responded seriously.

Having decided to block the news, Weiguo's carriage naturally could not drive with his son and his father. Fortunately, the couple had just got together and their daughter was still young, so they were not in a hurry to leave. Kui Duoyou led dozens of followers to protect him. The fake boy and his carriage embarked on the way back to Chaoge. Along the way, the young man was very careful. Everyone was eating, drinking and having sex in the car, with only a little boy waiting on him and rarely showing up.

Fortunately, although these followers have been with the master for a long time, they are different from the top. They usually only bow their heads and obey orders, and how dare they get so close to their master. Occasionally, they show their faces from a distance, but no one notices the flaw. .

Traveling all the way and staying overnight, the official road leading to Chaoge gradually became wider.

When the dusk had not yet faded, the tranquil atmosphere on the ancient country road outside Huaguo City was broken by a team of horses. A crimson horse carried a tall owner and took the lead. This man had his hair tied up and his crimson forehead wiped. The young man was Kui Duoyou, who had just reached the crown. Although he knew that the fake young master He was sitting in the carriage, he also wanted to save the life of this simple young man. He traveled day and night all the way, and saw Hua Guo coming. In front of me, this is just a small country. Beyond it is the southwest border of Weiguo.

After climbing over a small hill, the dirt road under the horses' hooves meandered and disappeared in the light mist, and the outline of a small village appeared dimly in front of us. A follower patted his horse and told Duoyou: "General, pass through this village. You can see the Huadu City Wall!”

Wei Duoyou smiled slightly and said: "We have worked hard on this journey. Let's take a good rest in the city!"

He urged his horse to move, but suddenly stopped with a frown. As a soldier who had been on the battlefield for several years, he was very sensitive to such seemingly ethereal things as murderous aura. There was something wrong with the small village in front of him. After looking over it repeatedly, he said: "Do you think it's strange?"

The followers Zhanger Jingang couldn't figure it out, so they replied: "Please tell me, general, what's so strange about this?"

He pulled out the long sword on his back, woke up his followers and said: "In the villages in the Central Plains, there are no cockcrows in the morning, and we are so close and there are no dogs barking. Isn't it suspicious?"

One of the attendants said doubtfully: "I can't see any smoke rising from the kitchen. Maybe the general is too worried. It's just a deserted village with no one in front of him?"

Kui Duoyou asked: "Do I have to pass through this village if I want to go to Huadu?"

An old Weiguo man who knew the way replied: "To report to the general, the official road has always passed through this village."

"Oh, it's strange!" Wei Duoyou secretly thought that since he was so careful along the way, no one should know about it. Even if there was an ambush, it might not be for his own profession. He then ordered: "Everyone, hurry up and pass through this village quickly. .Everyone must be careful!”

The followers agreed in unison, and everyone drew their swords to urge the horses forward.

The village was indeed silent, which was strange. Everyone passed by the hotel at the head of the village cautiously, and then passed by the doorsteps of several silent farmers. There was no sound of people, nor the croaking of cattle, sheep, chickens, and dogs. There was only the sound of horse hooves and the sound of silence. The annoying fog around my vision lingers around me.

Suddenly a cart rushed out of the diagonal stab, and the horses were so frightened that they stood up on their front hooves and neighed. Everyone was shocked and pointed their knives at the fat and round-waisted farmer and asked, "Who is he?"

The farmer also screamed: "Who are you? I am an ordinary farmer and I have no money to give you!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this and said, "You ignorant people, do you think we are bandits?"

The farmer stared and said: "No, the blue sky and the white sun are holding weapons. You must know that this is the land of peace!"

Wei Duoyou asked him: "Don't be afraid of you guys, we are not bad people. Why is there no one in the village?"

The farmer pointed to a pile of iron nails and rakes on the wheelbarrow and said: "It has just snowed, and adults and children are raking the ground in the fields. If the soil freezes and clumps, how can we plant seeds in the next spring?"

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the sun had not yet emerged, but the farmers had already gone to work in the fields. Wei Duoyou was lamenting that it was not easy for the people to make a living, when suddenly a smell of blood came from the cart in front of him.

After entering his nostrils, he shouted: "Everyone, be careful!"

While he was talking, two short men jumped out from nowhere. They jumped forward with daggers in hand and chopped off the two followers who were caught off guard! The farmer also changed his face and took out a spear from under the cart.

He aimed at Wei Duoyou and stabbed him in the heart. After all, Wei Duoyou had been in battle for a long time. He swung his sword to block the spear and broke the shaft of the spear with the edge of his sword. He then urged his horse forward and slashed at the farmer with his sword.

The farmer's short stature took advantage of him. When he shrank his head, a layer of his scalp was cut off by the long sword. Although he suffered the pain of his skin and flesh, he kept his head and melon seeds. After being injured, the man screamed and jumped into the house facing the street and disappeared.

The two assassins at the other end were also slashed, and they still threw the short knives in their hands towards the carriage of the young master. Wei Duoyou jumped into the air, swung his sword left and right, and heard the "clang" sound, and the two short knives

They were knocked to the ground. The two assassins lost their weapons and were hacked to death by their followers.

Wei Duoyou shouted loudly: "My sons, protect the young master and rush out with me!"

Before he finished speaking, several carts filled with firewood were suddenly pushed out from the front and back, and flames immediately rose into the sky, blocking Wei Duoyou and his party.

Some black-clothed assassins armed with spears and swords jumped out from every house on the roadside, shouting and rushing over. Wei Duoyou and others couldn't deal with their horses, so they had to jump off their horses to fight. The followers shouted together: "Kui

The general will protect the young master and leave first!"

But Wei Duoyou said: "Everyone rush out together!"

In the blink of an eye, the two parties were fighting hand to hand. There were about forty people including Wei Duoyou and his entourage, but there were an unknown number of assassins hiding in the village. They swarmed up and surrounded these battle-hardened veterans.

, as the saying goes, one punch is hard to beat with two hands, not to mention that they spared their energy to protect the young master and his carriage. In the blink of an eye, the followers fell into a pool of blood after cutting down several enemies. The assassins shouted wildly: "Ten million

We can’t let Young Master He run away!”

Wei Duoyou was shocked and angry. He had tried his best, but the news still leaked out. These followers around him were all selected by him from the guard army as the bodyguards of the prince and Haojing. They were all elite men. He didn't want to

But he died at such a small hand!
