The Golden Age

Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!If there is one person in this world that Qin Xiao trusts unconditionally, it can only be Mencius.

Qin Xiao did not hesitate. After escaping from the turtle city, he encountered Yuwen Chengchao being assassinated on the way and joined Yuwen's house. Then he entered Baihuying and became a riding school. Then he went out to Wutuo. He didn't mention Ye Ji and Hong Ye, and Tang Rong tried to mention as little as possible.

Until two secret letters were found from Qifushan's mansion, after Yuwen's family got the secret letters, they also said about the plan to wipe out the true and false on the day of sacrifice to the mountain.

The experience of the past half year was surprising at first. Although Qin Xiao tried his best to abbreviate or even omit many of these things, it still made Mencius Mo's eyes wide open, only to find it incredible.

"You mean, those two secret letters were you found in the underground secret room of Begging Fushan?" Mencius whispered: "And those two secret letters were forged by Yuwen's shopkeeper surnamed Bai. ?"

Qin Xiao nodded and said, "Exactly."

Mencius Mo thoughtfully, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, he patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, and said, "That's how it is, that's how it is." But it was an expression of sudden realization.

Qin Xiao was a little strange, and asked, "Catch your head, do you know about the two secret letters?" This is extremely secretive, and very few people know so far. Qin Xiao saw Mencius's expression, but seemed to know the secret. When I wrote the letter, I suddenly felt a little strange.

Mencius did not answer either, but said with a smile: "So, on the day of worshipping the mountain, Yuwen's family is also ready?"

"Deployment has begun." Qin Xiao whispered: "Old Master Yuwen believes that the two secret letters are true, so I am determined to get rid of the Zhen family."

Mencius shook his head and smiled: "That's not necessarily true. It doesn't really matter whether the Yuwen family believes in the authenticity of the secret letter. What is important is that Yuwen family finally finds a chance to be loyal to the court and get rid of the predicament of the Yuwen family. The clansmen have always been suspicious, and many officials in the DPRK even regarded them as enemy bandits. If the three surnames of Xiling remain in a group, then the hostility of the court to the three surnames of Xiling will become more and more serious. In fact, there have been some people in the court over the years Please play to solve the problem of Xiling, but the court is temporarily unable to take action."

"Is it because of Nanjiang Murong?"

"That's also the reason." Mencius sighed. "What matters is that there is no peace in the central government. Some people are fighting for power and fighting with each other. They cannot focus on Xiling. If the Yuwen family destroys the Zhen family, they will take it again. The evidence of the Zhen family's rebellion is the two secret letters. In this way, the court will naturally feel that the Yuwen family is loyal to the court. These years, the Yuwen family has also spent a lot of money in the court. Those who have received the benefits of the Yuwen family People who are right now take this opportunity to say good things to the saint for Yuwen's family."

Qin Xiaodao: "In this way, whether the two secret letters are true or false, the Yuwen family must attack the Zhen family?"

Mencius nodded and said, "This is a golden opportunity, and the Yuwen family will naturally not miss it." With a smile, "These three big gates have indeed shown a common advance and retreat in order to protect their own interests over the years, but they Privately, they are on guard against each other." With a sneer, "Yuwen's family wants to find a chance to show loyalty to the court. Of course, the other two companies also have such thoughts, but no matter which one expresses good to the court easily, it will inevitably cause the other two. The family’s guard, so they don’t dare to act rashly, but they must act in secret. This time Yuwen’s family got the secret letter, so there is a reason for the trouble. True or false is no longer important."

Qin Xiaodao: "I saw Zhen Yujiang arrived at Fenggan Mansion yesterday, but didn't see Zhen Huaqing. If Zhen Huaqing can't come to participate in the mountain worship ceremony, Yuwen's family will not do it easily and will miss great opportunities, so I want to go. , We must think about making Zhen Huaqing rush to Fenggan Mansion quickly, and we must let him participate in the mountain worship ceremony."

"I understand." Mencius nodded and said: "You are worried that Zhen Yujiang will replace Zhen Huaqing to worship the mountain, so you have a strategy to make Zhen Yujiang seriously ill.

If Zhen Huaqing got the news, he would definitely rush to this side. As long as he came, he would have to participate in the mountain worship ceremony."

Qin Xiao nodded and smiled: "That's what I think, but I don't know if Zhen Huaqing will be caught."

Mencius smiled and said: "You have always been clever, and now you have a sense of measure. I misunderstood you." He got up and said, "You rested earlier, I'm going first."

Qin Xiao still wondered why Mencius stared at Zhen Yujiang but didn't act rashly. He only felt that the matter was not easy when Mencius came to Fenggan Mansion this time, but since the other party didn't say anything, he didn't ask too much.

"Catch your head, when can I see you?" Qin Xiao asked.

Mencius patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder and said softly, "Soon, after the incident, everything will return to what it should have been. At that time, we will gather to drink and eat meat again." Without saying much, he left.

The mountain sacrifice ceremony in Xiling is actually a very sacred thing. Everyone who grows up in Xiling will regard the Changling Mountain as a sacred mountain. In people’s eyes, the Changling Mountain God is the god who allows them to live peacefully. Bless the pious awe, the weather will be smooth.

October 25 is of course a sacred day for the people of Xiling.

Ordinary people will worship in front of their homes, facing the direction of the Changling Mountains, while the Xiling family, headed by the three gate lords, will send people to Changling Tiandu Peak to participate in the mountain worship ceremony.

It is precisely because of the ritual ceremony held every five years that every great family invested in the construction of a post house in Fenggan Mansion City. It covers a large area and has many houses. You can stay in the post house.

There are still three or four days before the sacrifice to the mountain, and people from the Xiling family in Zhen County and Fan County have already sent people over.

The mountain worship ceremony is dominated by the three main gates. According to the custom, the patriarchs of the three surnames must participate in the ceremony. Even if the patriarchs of other major families cannot participate in person, they must send respected elders to participate.

So Fenggan Fucheng became lively for a while.

Nearly a hundred families with considerable strength in Xiling sent people to come, each with their servants. These were big clans with no shortage of silver, and they were generous in their actions. For a time, Fenggan Mansion became the focus of attention of the entire Xiling.

The mountain worship ceremony must be carried out under the Tiandu Peak. It takes two days to travel from Fenggan Fucheng to Tiandu Peak. Therefore, on October 22, people who participated in the ceremony began to set off to Tiandu Peak.

There is an open space under Tiandu Peak, which is suitable for setting up tents.

For most families, it is better to go there early and set up a tent to wait than to delay participating in the mountain worship ceremony.

Many years ago, the patriarchs of the two big families left too late. When they arrived, the sacrificial ceremony had already begun. At that time, they were deprived of the right to participate in the mountain sacrificial ceremony. In the following two years, the three major families had The two families desperately suppressed, and eventually the two families reluctantly moved out of Xiling.

Of course, it was the Three Great Masters who wanted to show their power and slaughter them, but they also let other families understand that other things could be sloppy, but in the matter of sacrificing the mountains, they couldn't be sloppy.

Since then, people from all major families will rush to Tiandu Peak in advance, set up camps at the foot of the mountain, and bring enough wine and meat. Anyway, meat and wine are everywhere. It is better to have fun under Tiandu Peak, at least it will not delay mountain worship. .

It was October 23 when Yuwen's house departed, and when he arrived at Tiandu Peak, it was already at dusk on October 24.

Tiandu Peak is the first peak of Changling Mountain, like a long sword rising from the ground, towering straight into the sky, extremely steep.

At the foot of the mountain, it was empty.

A few days ago, Yuwen's family had already sent people to set up an altar here, and dozens of guards had been deployed to guard the altar.

Many tents have been set up at the foot of the mountain, and the figures are dazzling and lively.

Even if it is to set up a camp, it is very particular about it.

The tents of the three gates live in the middle, and the Yuwen family lives between the Fan and Zhen houses. The camps of the three gates are only two or three miles apart. If the tents of the other families are divided into three surnames Around the camp.

After getting off the carriage, Old Master Yuwen looked to the left and saw a flag fluttering in the wind. Soldiers were standing guard every few steps around the camp. He smiled and said, "Has Changxinhou arrived?"

Yuwen Chengchao, who was on the side, said, "They set off half a day earlier than us. They should be there at noon." He whispered, "Zhen Yujiang was also brought here. He brought two hundred wolf riders on this trip. Shiling is commanded by the wolf rider."

Old Master Yuwen nodded slightly and looked to the right again. The flag over there has not been erected, that is to say, the Fan family has not arrived yet.

"Chang Renhou sent someone to say that he would come directly to Tiandu Peak and not enter the city." Yuwen Chengling said immediately: "Chang Renhou has never been absent to worship the mountain. He should arrive later."

When the first rays of sunlight fall on the ground tomorrow, the mountain worship ceremony will begin, so all the major families participating in the ceremony will definitely arrive tonight.

As one of the three surnames, the Fan family will certainly not be absent.

Old Master Hou took a look at the camp on the Fan's side, and didn't say much. He entered the camp and entered the largest tent in the camp, and the two brothers Yu Wen Chengchao followed in.

"How is Shang Yu's preparations?" Old Houye asked softly after sitting down.

Yuwen Chengchao arrived next to Lord Hou and said in a low voice, "According to the plan in advance, we will start tonight at midnight. The two hundred cavalry soldiers we brought are responsible for protecting my father. Yuan Tonghui will lead the remaining six at midnight. The hundreds of cavalry arrived. According to the plan, after they arrived, they immediately surrounded the Zhen family’s camp, then rushed into the camp, directly beheading the Zhen family father and son, and after we controlled the situation, we summoned the major families and took the two secret letters. Come out and tell everyone that the Zhen family colluded with the Wutuo people, betrayed the Tang and Xiling. At the same time, we took out the memorials written in advance and asked the heads of the major generations to press their handprints and send the memorials to Kyoto overnight. The court told us why we eliminated the Zhen family."

Old Houye pondered for a moment, and Yuwen Chengling asked in a low voice, "Father, what are your concerns?"

"There should be no problem." Old Master Hou thought thoughtfully, his eyes deepened: "Just do it. Chengchao, you are brave and brave. When Shang Yu leads people into the Zhen family camp, you don't need to stay. There are too many people protecting this side. To be foolproof, you bring someone into the Zhen family camp. You’d better take the heads of the Zhen family father and son off by yourself.”

Yuwen Chengchao was startled, but he immediately understood the meaning, knowing that if he killed the Zhen family and his son with his own hands, he would be the first to eliminate thieves. Although the cavalry of the White Tiger Camp killed the Zhen family and his son, it would only be counted as the Yuwen family’s contribution. , But Yuwen Chengchao's personal removal of the traitor head level is naturally more beneficial to Yuwen Chengchao's future.

"Yes, father!" The old Master Hou gave this great credit to himself, and Yu Wen Chengchao was really surprised.

Over the years, Master Hou had been treating him coldly. If it weren't for Master Hou's indifference, Yuwen Chengchao would not have moved out of the Hou Mansion in a huff.

Yuwen Chengling was obviously also a little surprised, and said: "Father, I killed the eldest brother together, which is also an experience."

"You are good at Wenlue, you are far inferior to your elder brother." Old Master Hou said indifferently: "Your elder brother is going to kill people. If you follow him, you will only be dragged by him."

Yuwen Chengling’s face stiffened, and he did not expect that Old Hou Ye would say such words in front of Yuwen Chengchao. In these years, the old Hou Ye had ridiculed Yuwen Chengchao many times in front of him, but never before Yuwen Chengchao. Mocking himself.

He was a little surprised, I don't know why Lord Hou had such a sudden change.
