I was attacked by the evil general

In the early spring of the cold month, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the prince was buried in a magnificent manner.It's just that the funeral is different this time. In the past, it was all white cloth and white clothes, but the prince's funeral team was full of red eyes.

Some people said that the new emperor was intentionally sarcastic, while others yelled behind closed doors that it was inappropriate.

Kong Xiangyu hid in the dark in a black cloak, watching the red funeral procession carry them all the way to a deserted place outside Ningkang.

The place is located on the high side and the scenery is pleasant. Every warm spring, there will be a sea of ​​red flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains.And that place is Hongwu County a hundred years later.

It was rumored that after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he immersed himself in the affairs of the court. He was so busy that he sometimes forgot to eat, and sometimes he didn't even sleep at all.

According to people in the palace, the new emperor kept the emperor's bedroom and ran to the prince's hall every night, sometimes sitting on the bed drinking and talking nonsense, and sometimes holding the prince's things in a daze.

It is said that the relationship between the two was at odds during their lifetime, so they did not deal with it after death.Some people also said that the new emperor was actually very kind to the prince, so he thought about others every night when he saw things.In short, there are different opinions, and it has become a common talk among the people for a while.

It's just that no matter how dazzling the prince was, he will be forgotten by people after a long time.

Kong Xiangyu returned to the General's Mansion with exhaustion in his eyes.He shook the red petals on the cloak, shook his head at Jin Bao and Wei Ze in the room, and said, "I went to Honghai Mountain, but I never saw Zong Yanqiu's soul, and I don't know where this kid went."

Wei Ze took his hand, rubbed it in the palm of his hand, and said, "It's okay if you can't find your soul just after death, just wait for a while."

Kong Xiangyu sat down next to Wei Ze, and Wei Ze stretched out his arms and hugged him. The two were silent for a while, neither of them spoke.

There are a few fruits on the table, which he picked on the mountain yesterday morning.Jin Bao poked out the dragon's head from the pile of fruits, and a hole was made by eating the red fruit under his body. With his green dragon body, he really looked like a fruit insect.

Jin Bao swallowed the pulp, raised his head and smelled it, and suddenly said: "It seems that someone has come, the smell is very strange."

Kong Xiangyu said happily: "What's so strange this time?"

For the past two days, Jin Bao has been bored, smelling people outside and making judgments.It's like a few days ago when I passed a stinky tofu seller at the door, Jinbao said that there was something wrong with that person, he just took shit as a delicacy, and said that the taste was not as good as fried intestines in ghosts.

Kong Xiangyu's face was covered with black lines, and he was speechless.

Jin Bao sniffed it carefully again, and said, "It's weird, it smells like ghosts and people, it smells like everything."

Then Wei Ze stood up and said, "That man came in."

Kong Xiangyu hurriedly closed the door tightly and blew out the candles in the room.It's just late, but it's not completely dark, but who would come to the general's mansion without people at this hour?

Wei Ze's right hand gathered a cloud of white mist, ready to strike at any time.Kong Xiangyu hurriedly pushed Wei Ze behind him, and whispered, "Don't make a move, what if it's someone?"

After speaking, he looked out from the crack of the door, and saw a man in night clothes, masked, turned over from the side of the yard, and he was definitely a master of kung fu with light hands and feet.

There is also a saber pinned to this person's waist, with a red handle and silver body, and many scabbards are still worn out.

Kong Xiangyu's eyes lit up immediately, he hurriedly pushed the door and shouted at the man in black, "Xiao Mao!"

The man in black paused slightly, took a few steps and flew to the courtyard, took off the black mask and wept with joy, "General! Why are you here?"

Since he returned to Ningkang, almost all his subordinates have been dismissed, and there is no one familiar in Manningkang.Seeing his attendant at this time, it is inevitable that his blood will boil.

Kong Xiangyu looked around and said happily: "Come inside first, this matter is a long story."

Xiao Mao hurriedly followed into the room, and when he came in, he saw Wei Ze, who was full of evil spirits, and Jin Bao, who looked weird, and immediately backed away in fright: "General, this is not the man who lives under the Xiangxiang building... "I didn't dare to continue speaking halfway through the sentence.

Kong Xiangyu waved his hands to comfort him: "Don't worry, they have no malicious intentions."

Having said that, Wei Ze and Jin Bao looked at Xiao Mao with sharp eyes, as if they could kill him at any time.

Xiao Mao clenched his sword around his waist, and he hesitated for a while before asking: "Then... are they witches or ghosts?"

As soon as the words came out, Jin Bao jumped out first, and cursed with his claws on his hips: "You're blind! The river god is just a little smaller, so there's no need to keep giving me these trash names, right?"

A slap-sized worm can talk, which is shocking no matter how you look at it, Xiao Mao immediately took two steps back, and he was about to draw his sword.

Kong Xiangyu hurriedly stood between the two of them, reluctantly dissuading him: "Don't, don't, my house is worthless now, if I come here again, I'm afraid I won't have a place to sleep." He quickly explained: "This is Jin Bao , You have seen him before when he transformed into a human form."

Xiao Mao's eyes widened, and he said strangely: "Jin Bao? He he he... has become like this?"

Jin Bao half-closed his eyes, blowing his dragon's beard and said angrily: "What are you doing! What's wrong with me like this!" He straightened his dragon body, and put on a posture that he thought was particularly domineering. "Little hairy child, have you seen a real dragon!"

Xiao Mao shook his head sincerely, but finally let go of the hand holding the saber tightly.

Kong Xiangyu took the blown candle beside him, searched around, and finally raised it to Jin Bao's mouth, and said, "Excuse me, I can't find the fire book."

Jin Bao folded his claws around his chest and turned his head away with a hum.Thinking that he is a majestic river god, who was called a witch and a slug, and now he still wants to be a fireman, it is really an insult to the dragon!

Kong Xiangyu looked at Wei Ze aside for help, Wei Ze raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to hold Jin Bao's dragon body, and lifted two fingers to pinch the dragon's mouth.

Jin Bao was so angry that his mouth was pinched and he coughed for a while, finally coughing up a ball of sparks.After the candles were lit, the room finally became much brighter.

Only then did Wei Ze let go of Jin Bao, who pointed at Wei Ze angrily and said, "Break off! Break off!"

The little mao on the side looked so engrossed that his eyes almost went straight.

Kong Xiangyu put the candle on the ground, lifted his robe and sat down cross-legged, and the rest of the people also sat around.Seeing that Xiao Mao was also full of exhaustion, he asked: "I have been away for three months, what happened to Ningkang? Why did I become a traitor when I came back? And what about the national teacher?"

As soon as the national teacher was mentioned, the two nostrils of Xiao Mao's anger fanned, and he said angrily: "What kind of national teacher is a disaster at all! You can only deceive people with lies all day long, and make the eldest prince..." He paused, then changed Liao called out: "I have bluffed Your Majesty so much that even my own brother was hurt, I really don't know what is going on in my mind!"

This is what I said in private, if people listen to it in the daytime, I don't know how much trouble will be caused.

Kong Xiangyu frowned and listened, Ningkang's current behavior must have something to do with the national teacher, he just wanted to know what the national teacher did to turn him who was loved by the people into a man who everyone shouted and beat.

Xiao Mao sighed, and said: "Since you left, General, the First Prince... His Majesty has ordered the city to be closed overnight, saying that there are witches and ghosts in Ningkang, and the city needs to be closed to find ghosts."

This search led to Kong Xiangyu's General's Mansion.

Kong Xiangyu was the one who dealt with the witch ghost at first, and after two consecutive beheadings, the common people regarded him as the god of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits.So when the First Prince's people found the General's Mansion, there were still many people who helped to resist, and some even spoke harshly, saying that the First Prince took advantage of the situation to suppress General Zhao's power and so on.

In fact, it is indeed true to say this, but it is somewhat wrong to say it in front of the prince of the National People's Congress.So the eldest prince imprisoned all those who opposed it in a rage, and the people shut up after seeing this posture.Moreover, there was a rebellious trend. Those who shut up did not speak up in person, but in private, they spoke up to the sky and ruined the First Prince's reputation.

It was at this time that the so-called national teacher appeared.In the beginning, a platform was set up in a crowded place, and every day he publicized the heroic deeds of General Zhao with the common people, so the praise was even better than that written in the script.

The common people already had different sustenance and longing for General Zhao, and such praise and praise immediately attracted many people.As time went on, the national teacher who praised General Zhao became the leader of these people.

If the national teacher praises the east, the people will believe in the east, and if the national teacher praises the west, the people will yearn for the west.Even General Zhao's subordinates listened with relish, and bluntly said that the national teacher was eloquent, let alone their own general.

When Xiao Mao said this, he couldn't help being angry. He said: "Especially Miss Mu, who was told by the national teacher that she lost her mind and went every day, every day. When the people saw it, even your fiancée, General, was like this." If you praise him like that, you will praise that national teacher as your believer."

Kong Xiangyu couldn't understand it, since all he said were praises, why did he make such a fuss again.He interrupted: "According to this, the national teacher was a good person at first?"

Jin Bao rolled his eyes helplessly, and said: "What a fart, blindly promoting and praising a person will definitely arouse the resentment of some colleagues."

Kong Xiangyu frowned, still didn't understand.

Wei Ze asked, "Among your colleagues who are officials in the court, is there anyone who is about your age?"

Kong Xiangyu suddenly understood.It is a good thing to be young, but to the seniors who have also worked in the court for more than ten years, his youth is like a kind of sarcasm.Originally, it was fine if his achievements were not high, but the national teacher praised him as a saint instead of becoming a sensationalist.

As a result, those colleagues naturally hated it, but on the surface they still pretended to praise it.As time goes on, even if the national teacher doesn't say anything, these jealous colleagues will try their best to find his fault.

"It's really a good strategy. I didn't do anything, and I was applauded, but it caused others to make mistakes." Kong Xiangyu couldn't help but admire, maybe this national teacher is the reincarnation of a military teacher?

Xiao Mao sighed, and said: "At first, the ministers of the court just talked about it in private, and occasionally made fun of some small things about the general. Later, more and more people talked about it, and even a trivial thing can be said to be harmful to Ning. Kang's big deal."

There are more and more voices of opposition from the DPRK and China. Not only that, there will be incidents of witches and ghosts in Ningkang every now and then.The national teacher began to encourage the people, saying that he wanted to be as good as General Zhao, and led them to eliminate witches and ghosts.

Kong Xiangyu said in surprise: "What witches and ghosts are they eliminating? What can a group of ordinary people do?"

Xiao Mao's eyes were fierce, and he said angrily: "Of course I can't do anything. The people in the general's mansion know how powerful witch ghosts are. Those people blindly followed the evil words of the national teacher, and no less than a dozen people died in a witch ghost incident." people."

Kong Xiangyu punched the ground angrily, and said angrily, "It's just nonsense!"

Xiaomao continued: "At this time, the national teacher still holds the general as a god, and makes the people worship blindly, even when he is dying, he is looking forward to your appearance."

Wei Ze said in a deep voice: "The greater the expectation for the person you admire, the greater the disappointment."

More and more people died, and each of them was a person who admired General Zhao.Those in the government and the opposition who wished Zhao Heng made a mistake even magnified the matter, and the situation became more and more out of control.

And at this juncture, someone did not know who mentioned the black house in the general's mansion, saying that the black house was specially built to raise witches and ghosts.

Everyone didn't believe it, so the eldest prince arrested General Zhao's fiancée for interrogation. Miss Mu's family has always been in business, so how could she know so much about the affairs of the government and the public.

The eldest prince asked questions while avoiding the important ones, and then brought out the matter of the dark room.Once these remarks were confirmed, it almost completely chilled the hearts of the people who had died before.What's more, some people used boy's blood to get rid of witch ghosts, but it didn't work.

For a while, folk rumors spread everywhere, saying that the witch ghost incident that General Zhao solved at the beginning was just a play he sang.

How much trust the people used to have, how strong is the hatred that backlashes after the rumors.And the national teacher who was bewitching the public with his demonic words also took advantage of the situation and turned against each other, using his disappointment with General Zhao to launch speeches to incite the common people.

The national teacher had already become the leader of the people, so this really pushed Zhao Heng into the fire pit.Coupled with the resistance of the court and central ministers, there were more and more cases of impeachment of Zhao Heng. The emperor couldn't bear the oppression and had to temporarily dismiss Zhao Heng from office.

But this obviously did not achieve what the eldest prince and the national teacher wanted. After waiting for a long time, they began to talk about Zhao Heng abducting the prince and other public opinions.However, after Zhao Heng left Ningkang, there was no news, and the people in the general's mansion sent letters but did not get any response.

This nonsense has become a believable real story in the absence of any response.Later, ghost witch incidents appeared frequently, and every incident would eventually point to the general's mansion.

So rumors began to spread in the court, saying that Zhao Heng had long wanted to rebel, abducted the prince, and harmed the people.Now that he has been out of Ningkang and has not returned for a long time, he wants to collude with the enemy and betray the country and rebel.

Kong Xiangyu was annoyed when he heard that, just a few words were more frightening than the swords on the battlefield.He calmed down for a moment, and asked Xiao Mao: "What about the other people in the general's mansion? And Xiao Jia, where did they all go?"

Xiao Mao lowered his head, and said with some resentment: "They all went to Wei Lie's sect, but because they used to be your subordinates, General, they were all arranged to go to remote places, and I'm afraid they can't be seen now."

As the world winds down, it is true that the trees fall and the monkeys scatter.

Xiao Mao scolded: "What I hate the most is Xiao Jia. It's fine if others don't believe in the general, but he doesn't believe it. I was so angry that day that I fought with him. He actually said, even if he believes in the general, he still has to live."

Kong Xiangyu patted Xiaomao on the shoulder, and comforted him: "He still has Gaotang to support in his family, which is understandable." Even so, there is still a depressing feeling of being betrayed.He sighed, "Xiao Mao, thank you."

Xiao Mao waved his hands, then looked at the sky outside the window and said: "General, I have to go first, this General's Mansion is not a safe place, if the General has nowhere to go, you might as well go to the Earth Temple outside the city to find me. "

Kong Xiangyu nodded and said, "Alright, you should pay more attention to yourself."

"Okay." The little mao pulled on the black cloth covering his face, turned over with luck and left the general's mansion.

Looking at Xiao Mao's disappearing figure, Wei Ze frowned and said, "Don't believe everything this man says."

Kong Xiangyu didn't know why and asked, "Why?"

Wei Ze said: "He has a ghostly aura about him."
