Is Wei Gong Ziyu dead?

After receiving Gao Kuo's affirmation, Zhao Hongrun could not recover for a long time.

Born in the royal family of the King of Wei, he did not cherish many relatives, such as brothers Zhao Hongjing and Zhao Hongxin. Although they were related by blood, they actually had little friendship to speak of. In addition, his sixth uncle, Zhao Ren, and his father, the king,

Zhao Si, fifth uncle Zhao Ji and others passed away one after another, which made Zhao Hongrun cherish his recognized biological mother "Wei Ji". His cousin Wei Yu was one of Zhao Hongrun's recognized relatives.

It is for this reason that Zhao Hongrun tolerated Wei Gong Ziyu's secret protection of Xiao Luan, and even gave Wei Yu the information about "refractory bricks" that he needed. All of this was actually based on family ties.

Basically, if it were any other Prince Wei who had no connection with Zhao Run, let's see if Zhao Run would still be so kind.

Zhao Run's kindness is only shown to the people he cares about. In front of irrelevant people, the new king's traditional image is that he is arrogant and domineering.

"Is this...true?"

Zhao Hongrun's face darkened unconsciously, and Zhao Hongrun asked in a deep voice.

Gao Kuo nodded and said: "It's the news sent by the Green Crows...it's absolutely true."

Previously, when civil strife broke out in the Wei Kingdom, Zhao Hongrun had asked Gao Kuo to send the Black Crows to keep an eye on the Wei Kingdom, lest Xiao Luan take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Subsequently, Zhang Qigong, the right captain of the Tiance Mansion, and his deputy Bei Gongyu also led the Black Crows.

The crowd pounced on Weiguo and successfully arrested Xiao Luan and returned to the country, but the Green Crows had not yet withdrawn from Weiguo.

Anyway, they were idle. The Green Crows simply paid attention to the civil strife in the Wei Kingdom, that is, the confrontation between Wei Wang Fei and the young master Wei Yu. They never thought that in just ten days, the situation would suddenly change.

The invincible young master Wei Yu actually died. Not to mention Zhao Run was dumbfounded. Even Gao Kuo was a little dumbfounded after receiving the news. He couldn't believe it. Someone actually dared to kill Mr. Wei Ziyu?!

Young Master Wei Yu is the cousin of Wei King Zhao Run, and the two cousins ​​have always had a good relationship. Therefore, even if it is for the sake of Wei King Zhao Run, the Wei State can put Wei Yu under house arrest or exile Wei Yu, but it absolutely cannot

Wei Yu was killed.

"Bang!"

Zhao Hongrun slapped his hand heavily on the table in front of him, and saw his eyebrows condensed, his eyes filled with anger, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who... harmed Wei Yu?"

"This...it's not clear yet." Gao Kuo shook his head and said.

"Go and check!" Zhao Hongrun ordered in a deep voice.

"yes!"

On that day, Gao Kuo and his deputies traveled day and night to Puyang to defend the country.

Daliang is not far from Puyang. The straight-line distance is about two hundred miles. If you ride a fast horse, you can reach it in about three days. However, Gao Kuo and Zhong Zhao chose the faster waterway.

Langsha took a boat to Puyang, and within a day and a half, he landed in the waters around Puyang.

After landing, Gao Kuo, Zhong Zhao and others led the Qingya people and rode to Puyang.

On the way, they encountered many Weiguo people coming towards them. They saw these Weiguo people carrying packages and traveling in groups, as if they were preparing to move to other places.

Out of curiosity, Gao Kuo, Zhong Zhao and others stopped and asked these Weiguo people the reason.

However, when the common people of the Wei Kingdom saw Gao Kuo, Zhong Zhao, and the Green Crows, all riding mounts and carrying weapons, they knew at a glance that they were not ordinary people, so they were inevitably a little frightened and trembling.

Dare to speak.

Seeing this, Gao Kuo explained to them: "We are the imperial guards of Daliang. We learned that your country is facing civil strife, and our monarch ordered us to come and inquire about the situation..."

In fact, in the Wei Kingdom, the status of the Tiance Mansion is higher than that of the Imperial Guards, but the people of the Wei Kingdom have not necessarily heard of the Tiance Mansion. Therefore, Gao Kuo simply calls himself the Imperial Guards. After all, the Imperial Guards are currently

It is the king's division in Daliang, the capital of King Wei, and it is the army under the direct control of King Zhao Run of Wei. This is more convincing on the side of the Wei people.

Sure enough, upon hearing that Gao Kuo, Zhong Zhao and others were from Wei, and were soldiers from the "King of Wei", the fear in the hearts of the people of Wei immediately disappeared. After all, the relationship between Wei and Wei has always been harmonious.

, although there has been a little friction in recent years because of Xiao Ni, Wei Yu and other reasons, in general the relationship between the two countries is still harmonious.

Just looking at the fact that there are no border troops stationed on the border between Wei and Wei is enough to prove this point.

"It turns out to be Master Daliang Wang..."

The person Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao stopped was a Weiren family with about seven or eight members. The male head of the family was about forty years old. After Gao Kuo explained the identity of his group, he lifted the barrier.

The other party was wary and suspicious, and then explained: "We are all civilians living in Puyang City. Because the armies in the city are fighting each other, we want to flee the country and move elsewhere."

As he said this, he looked thoughtfully at Gao Kuo, Zhong Zhao and others, possibly thinking that moving to Wei State might be a good idea.

"The armies in Puyang City are fighting fiercely?"

Zhong Zhao frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Brother, is it true that your country's young master Wei Yu died unfortunately?"

Hearing this, the man sighed, shook his head and said: "I don't know the details. I only know that in the past few days, there has been a rumor in the city that "Gongzi Yu was harmed by Gongzi Jie"... But I heard that,

The group of people from the Eastern Army attacked the inner city like crazy and kept saying that they wanted to kill Young Master Jie to avenge Young Master Yu. I thought about this..."

At the end of the sentence, he sighed heavily.

"Young Master Jie? Wei Jie?"

Gao Kuo and Zhong Zhao looked at each other, feeling a little weird in their hearts.

As high-ranking officials in charge of the Green Crows and the collection of various intelligences in the Wei State, Gao Kuo and Zhong Zhao had of course heard of Gongzi Jie, also known as Wei Jie.

As far as they know, Wei Jie is a complete loser and a playboy. Although it is said that he is good at flattering and flattering, which is why he has won the favor of King Fei of Wei, his own talents and personal charm are not comparable to Gong Ziyu.

How could such a useless person kill Wei Gong Ziyu?

"You and I should go directly to Puyang to see what's going on."

Zhongzhao said to Gao Kuo.

Gao Kuo nodded, and after bidding farewell to all the Puyang people here, went straight to Puyang City.

After about half a day's journey, Gao Kuo and his party finally arrived in Puyang.

Just as the fleeing Puyang people said, Puyang is now in chaos. Even from a long distance away, Gao Kuo and Zhong Zhao can hear the loud killing cries in the city.

When you get closer to Puyang, you will see that the city is in chaos. In fact, there are corpses almost everywhere inside and outside Puyang City. Some are soldiers of the Eastern Army or the Western Army in bright armor, and some are innocent people.

The level of chaos was no less than the legendary "Daliang Civil War" when a civil war broke out between the Shunshui Army and the Yushui Army.

From a distance, Gao Kuo saw a group of rangers fighting with a group of soldiers whose armor looked like that of the Wei army. The two sides were killing each other in complete darkness.

Even without being close, Gao Kuo could feel a very strong sense of madness.

Almost all of those people were so furious that Gao Kuo saw with his own eyes that some innocent fleeing people were cut down to the ground by the soldiers of the enemy and ourselves.

"Are these guards crazy?"

Gao Kuo murmured and decided that it would be better not to get close for the time being.

However, even though they didn't get close, it didn't take long for a guard to find them.

There were only about two hundred people in this guard, half of whom were soldiers with relatively complete armor, but there were also some rangers who only wore leather armor and held single swords. They were the "Eastern Army" at first glance.

Seeing the opponent charging towards him with murderous intent, Gao Kuo was not afraid because he had more than a hundred Green Crows under his command, but considering not to engage in a unnecessary battle, he immediately revealed his identity: "Stop! We are from

The soldiers of the King of Daliang are not your enemies!"

After hearing this, the Eastern Army who rushed over with murderous looks on their faces stopped in disbelief.

Not long after, a man dressed as a knight-errant stood up and asked with a frown: "Wei people? Why did Wei people come to Puyang?"

Gao Kuo clasped his fists and said: "I, the monarch of the Wei Dynasty, and your country's Gong Ziyu are cousins. A few days ago, I learned that Gong Ziyu might have been harmed. Our monarch was furious and sent us to investigate!"

Upon hearing this, the ranger and the nearby Dongjun soldiers suddenly lost some hostility in their eyes, and were replaced by deep sadness after they heard "Gong Ziyu".

"What's the proof?" the ranger asked calmly.

Seeing this, Gao Kuo immediately took out a gold token from his arms and threw it towards the opponent.

This golden order is quite remarkable. Looking at the entire Wei State, except for King Zhao Run of Wei, only Wei Jiao, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and Gao Kuo, the commander-in-chief of the Tiance Mansion, hold this gold order.

Of course, if you mobilize any army of the Wei State without notifying the imperial court, you still have to report this honor afterwards. Even the two brothers of Zhao Run, King Zhao Jiang of Yan and King Huan Zhao Xuan, are not entitled to enjoy it.

The ranger received the golden order with a snap and looked at it carefully for a while. Although he did not understand how powerful this gold order actually was, from the exquisite workmanship of this gold order and the "like I am here in person"

”, he could probably guess how valuable this gold token was.

"Shua"

The ranger put the sharp sword in his hand back into the scabbard, waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to put down their weapons, and then he stepped forward and handed the golden order in his hand back to Gao Kuo.

It is worth mentioning that when he handed back the gold order, he looked at Gao Kuo for a while, then called the hundreds of green crows behind them, and casually asked: "Qingya?"

"Huh?"

Gao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and after taking a closer look at the other party, he guessed: "'Chang Chai'?"

The ranger smiled reluctantly when he heard this, and introduced his hands: "Chang Chai, Wei Zhan."

"guard?"

Seeing that the other party actually had the surname of Weiguo, Zhongzhao looked at him twice in disbelief.

As if he had guessed the intention of Zhongzhao, the ranger who called himself Wei Yun explained with a wry smile: "The surname was given by the young master, not from the royal family."

"Oh." Zhongzhao was relieved.

At this time, Gao Kuo glanced at the surrounding Eastern Army, frowned and asked: "Brother Wei, I met the people of your land on the way and learned from their mouths that Gong Ziyu was unfortunately harmed by Gong Zi Jie...

Is this serious?"

After hearing this, Wei Yun's expression suddenly became gloomy. After a while, he nodded and gritted his teeth and said, "It is true."
