Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 151——⑦The Rebellion of Seven Towns

Chapter Zero—⑦The Rebellion of Seven Towns

Although that dream is not quite real, it has been realized for a while.As far as Gao Zhuo is concerned, this period of time is beyond his reach for the rest of his life - because too many things have changed, and the only thing that remains the same is the man who came from Kunlun Mountain alone with a weathered face, still lonely as ever.

After the reception banquet that night, Gao Luo and Gao Huan led the troops to meet up with Du Luozhou, the rebel general of the Seven Towns, the next day. They took most of the soldiers and horses and went to the center of the rebellion, intending to join forces.As for the safety of Huaishuo Town, the second young master Gao Zhu, who has just returned to his hometown, will take full power to preside over it.

Gao Fu, who knows that he has a heavy responsibility, dare not neglect in the slightest. He wakes up early and stays late every day, trains soldiers and horses diligently, deacons impartially, and does everything in detail. .

Huaishuo Town must not only resist the harassment of barbarians in the north, but also be careful of the attacks of the Yuan and Wei courts, and there are countless thieves who covet the prosperity of the town.This kind of enemy is doomed to the soldiers and civilians of Beizhen to often fight against evil, and it also creates the custom of everyone advocating martial arts.Therefore, martial arts competitions and banquets are popular here, and horse riding and archery are the most important.

It was during this period that Gao Zhu learned excellent horsemanship and archery, and led his troops to repel the thieves wandering on the commercial road, which greatly frightened the barbarians in the north, so that they did not dare to act rashly during this period of time. Entering the army, there is no two in the limelight for a while, and it is quite popular.Coupled with his young age and majestic appearance, it is not surprising that many mad bees and butterflies fall into their arms.

I just hate that the second son of the Gao family has a weird temperament, he can't drink, dance and music with others, and he likes to be quiet alone.Rather than participating in various banquets, he seems to prefer to stay with his sister and other relatives.If he has free time, he will stay in a small Taoist temple built by him to study scriptures, practice skills and wisdom.

That is to say, except when running daily affairs, it is difficult for ordinary people to meet "Gongzizhu".This made those sons and women with ulterior motives take great pains.

Such a strange man who is not fawned on and does not show his face at will, while making people feel inaccessible, also breeds a lot of mystery.Some people even started rumors that Gong Zizhu raised a "white snake spirit" in the Taoist temple, and the white snake would transform into a human being to serve him at night, so he had no energy to deal with other people's invitations.

Such ridiculous rumors, of course, are caused by the fact that Gao Zhu often sat and discussed with the "White Snake Immortal" of Kunlun Mountain, and even let others see the situation of playing chess and practicing sword together.

The news that the Second Young Master was haunted by "goblins" made Gao's family panic. Although Gao Zhu himself laughed it off, others would not accept it so easily.Especially the third lady, Gao Zhaojun, if she hadn't often followed her father to contact nobles and nobles everywhere, the Gao family would not have the reputation and status it has today, so she couldn't accept the Gao family being slandered by such rumors.

Afterwards, the third lady, Zhaojun, took this as an excuse and invited all the princes and ladies of the rich families in the town to hold a banquet at home.She left Gao Zhuqiang at home, and let him learn to deal with all kinds of compliments and all kinds of beauties.

Yes, Gao Zhaojun did not forget to introduce several girls who had just reached the marriageable age to Gao Zhu, and asked him to learn to dance with Xianbei girls and dance around the bonfire.

When everyone saw that the second young master of the Gao family was not only capable of writing and martial arts, but also an indomitable man, the so-called rumors were instantly dispelled.

The family happiness enjoyed during this period made Gao Zhu gradually forget about Kunlun Mountain and Taoist Ge Peng's instructions.He began to think of a bright future: when his father and brother-in-law return, they can consolidate Beizhen's power and lead a more stable life.He will marry a girl and spend the rest of his life with his relatives...

No matter how tough your personality is, you are no match for Gentle Country.The young man who dared to venture into Kunlun alone in the severe cold also began to become weak and began to have scruples.

Things began to slowly and wonderfully change.

This is considered to be a stable life, but after half a year, the Rebellion of the Seven Towns was declared shattered due to the besieged and killed of the rebel general Du Luozhou.The rebel leaders such as Gao Luo and Gao Huan were deeply surrounded and disappeared. The Hu people in the north prepared to march in and take advantage of the momentum to wipe out the rebel forces in Beizhen in one fell swoop, and then captured the seven towns in the north, forming a rivalry with the Yuan and Wei Dynasties.

If the war really develops like this, a noble family like the Gao family will inevitably lose power, and then face the enemy on all sides, which is no different from death. Therefore, voices advocating surrender continue to appear in Huaishuo Town, and even soldiers abandon their armor and flee. .

Because only with thousands of guards in Huaishuo Town, it is absolutely impossible to resist the tens of thousands of barbarian troops in the north.Coupled with the suppression of the rebellion and the loss of morale, the defeat of the army seemed inevitable.

Just when Gao Zhu was about to abandon the town and surrender, the arrival of a letter from home boosted the confidence of everyone in the Gao family.It was written by the head of the family, Gao Luo, and Gao Huan's signature was on the letter: They intended for Gao Zhu to lead the troops to break out of the encirclement and join them in Jinyang City.

When she saw her husband and father's family letter, the third lady Zhaojun almost fainted with joy, but she obviously knew that her second elder brother Gao Zhu was weak, so she forced Gao Zhu to find a way to escape to Jinyang with both soft and hard methods.During this time, there was also the help of the young lady Xijun, who finally made Gao Zhu feel at ease and was willing to travel around with the family members.

In this way, Gao Zhu led a thousand cavalry to fight in front, and asked the rest of the soldiers to escort the eldest lady Xijun, the third lady Zhaojun and the fourth young master Gao Ang.

To everyone's surprise, that Gao Zhu actually tore a trail of blood amidst the encirclement of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and brought the hopeful soldiers and their families to the city of Jinyang.

I thought they were greeted by Gao Luo and Gao Huan coming out of the city, but unexpectedly, a white funeral was hung in front of the city gate, and the city guards were also wearing filial piety, as if they were paying homage to that person.

After Gao Huan brought the relatives from Huaishuo Town to the city, he told everyone that Gao Luo died of serious injuries, and he could only stick to Jinyang, waiting for Huaishuo's blood relatives to come to mourn together.

The members of the Gao clan mourned and watched in front of the tomb of the former head of the family. They were really sad, especially the second young master Gao Zhu who had only been home for half a year.He stayed in front of the tomb for three full days and three nights, only drank some wine and did not eat or rest.

Gao Zhu, who was originally the eldest son, should have taken over Gao Luo's position and became the head of the Gao family.But the soldiers under his command, except for those life and death brothers who escaped from Huaishuo Town, were on Gao Zhu's side, and all the soldiers in Jinyang City obeyed Gao Huan's words.The reason is of course inseparable from Gao Huan's painstaking efforts over the years, but more importantly, Gao Huan deceived everyone who escaped from Huaishuo.

This incident was not revealed until Yuan Wei sent envoys to send the official seal of the prefect of Jinyang City.

It turns out that Gao Luo did not die of a serious illness, but was betrayed by Gao Huan to Ge Rong, the general of Zhenbei in the Yuan Wei Dynasty, in exchange for an official position and a city!Now Gao Huan is no longer a pawn in Huaishuo Town, but a subordinate of General Zhenbei.

After the incident was revealed, Gao Huan no longer hid his ambitions.He summoned Gao Zhu in the middle of the night and said frankly: "If you can let go of the past, wouldn't it be great for us two brothers to fight for the world together?"

The third lady Zhaojun on the side was also crying and begging for mercy, leaving Gao Zhu in a dilemma and wantonly provoking his inner love and hatred.

Only at this moment did Gao Zhu realize that the only ones in the Gao family who really welcome him back are his father and sister who have been thinking about him.In order to make him soft-hearted, Third Miss Zhaojun played many tricks, making him unable to advance or retreat now.

He didn't answer that night, but went to his sister Xijun's room in extreme frustration to express his indignation. Now the two of them really have nothing to rely on.

Stories of foreign relatives seizing power have been staged repeatedly, and each one is more bloody, cruel and contemptuous.

Gao Zhu originally wanted to acquiesce in Gao Huan's disobedience with his sister Xijun, and the two of them just lived happily ever after, but Gao Huan would not tolerate such a capable person being equal to him.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.On weekdays, Gao Huan alienated Gao Zhu and Gao Xijun more, and alienated their relationship with the outside world. In the end, only the youngest fourth brother, Gao Ang, remembered to care about them.Perhaps it is the young age that remembers kindness the most.

The guards from Huaishuo are loyal to Gao's orthodoxy, and have been agitating Gao Zhu to seize power and take back what belongs to him. Even his sister Xijun has stern words, forcing Gao Zhu to assassinate Gao Huan with death.But Gao Zhusheng was afraid that the plan would fail and kill all his family members, so he stayed put.

Finally one day, Gao Zhu made up his mind to leave the Gao family again to protect the safety of his sister and fourth brother.He left a letter, begged to the utmost, and made a solemn vow never to interfere in world affairs, and then he packed his bags and walked away, as if he had regained the arrogance and freedom he had when he first entered Kunlun, and left the past behind. later.
