My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 64 The Central Army is in Turmoil! (Please read on!)

Gao Yu stayed at the villa for several days.

Every day, people from the Prince's mansion would send over fine wine and good meat; all that was missing was sending over some beautiful women.

Life here is indeed much more comfortable than in Huai Shuo.

I am so happy here that I don't even think of the north!

Gao Huan was severely injured by the whipping and was still unable to get out of bed even after several days of rest. Fortunately, he had maids to serve him. Serving Gao Huan was a highly sought-after job among the maids, as they all vied to serve him because they could be with such a handsome man.

Gao Huan had his maid summon Gao Yu.

The maid was secretly delighted to see Gao Yu. There were many handsome men in Luoyang, but it was rare to see someone as handsome as the Gao brothers.

Gao Yu came to the bedside and asked with concern.

"Brother, are you feeling better?"

"It's out of the way."

Gao Huan waved his hand and then said, "I originally wanted to visit the Grand Commander with you after I recovered from my injuries, but my injuries won't heal anytime soon. You should visit the Grand Commander on your own, since the Grand Commander greatly admires your bravery."

Li Chong is arguably the only legitimate connection the two brothers currently have.

and.

The Grand Commander really does get things done when he gets paid!

Of course I should visit.

On the contrary, the Prince of Guangping and his wife kept saying they would repay him handsomely, but after a few days, they did not show any gratitude. They only gave him good wine and meat every day, which had nothing to do with "repaying him handsomely".

"also may."

Gao Yu got up and prepared to act, but Gao Huan stopped him again and gave him detailed instructions.

"Second Brother, Luoyang is not like Huai Shuo... It is a place where high-ranking officials and nobles gather. You and I are of lowly status. If we encounter anything that does not suit our wishes, please bear with it for now. There will surely be a day when we repay each other with our utmost gratitude. Do you understand?"

Gao Yu nodded in agreement.

He immediately got up and called Liu Taozhi and the two people who had gone with Gao Huan to deliver the official documents. He asked the servants in the villa to prepare a carriage, and after inquiring about the location of Li Chong's residence, he prepared to set off.

Just as I was about to leave, several people blocked my way.

Gao Yu, leading his horse, glanced at the man and asked, "Who are you, and why are you stopping me?"

"I am a guard of the Prince of Guangping's mansion, and I am here on orders to protect my lord."

"We are going out to make a visit."

The two guards remained unmoved.

"Our orders are to protect the young master in case anything happens to him..."

Gao Yu simply smiled slightly.

Liu Taozhi, who was standing to the side, had already drawn her ox-ear dagger and pressed it against the guard's throat.

"How dare you! Step back now!"

Gao Yu roared, "How dare you offend the guards of the Prince's Palace? Admit your mistake at once!"

Liu Taozhi looked at them coldly, but still bowed and said, "Excuse me."

The guard was so frightened that he lost his composure.

Gao Yu walked up to the two men with a smile and patted them on the shoulder. As a result, the guard's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

Liu Yi and the others couldn't help but sneer.

Gao Yu said, "I apologize for my offense. I am on my way to visit Lord Chenliu."

"Please...please make yourself at home, sir."

"Thank you then."

Gao Yu immediately turned around and left the villa with Liu Taozhi and the others.

Liu Taozhi asked, "I wonder what the Prince of Guangping is up to. He has people watching us and obstructing our movements..."

Gao Yu was also pondering. He was also puzzled. Seeing that the guards didn't seem to have any ill intentions, he recalled how the head of the guards in the royal palace looked like he was facing a major enemy when he saw the weapons left behind by the bandits when he rescued the princess. He secretly guessed that there must be some hidden story behind this. However, he thought it was none of his business, so he decided to put it aside for now. He had more important things to do.

Upon arriving at Tongtuo Street, he slowed his pace and called over the two men who had accompanied Gao Huan to deliver the official documents, giving them instructions.

"Go and find out the whereabouts and residence of that Shi Maxiang."

Although Gao Huan said he would repay him in the future, he didn't intend to care about that. He wanted to find out the information first, just in case.
The two exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"Here!"

After the explanation is completed.

Gao Yu then continued forward and soon arrived at Li Chong's mansion, which was extremely luxurious, with towering pavilions visible from afar.

Upon arriving at the door, Gao Yu dismounted early and walked over to personally knock on the door.

Not a moment.

The gatekeeper came out and saw that Gao Yu and his group were dressed as Hu people. He didn't even wait for Gao Yu to speak.

They then chased it away with great disgust.

"Go away, go away, where did these barbarians from the northern frontier come from?"

really……

Even a gatekeeper can act like a local from Luoyang in front of outsiders.

Gao Yu had seen too many similar situations since entering Luoyang, so he wasn't angry. Instead, he bowed and said, "I am an old acquaintance of the Duke of Chenliu from his northern expedition against the Rouran. I have come to pay my respects today. Please inform him of my arrival."

This guy scoffed, "How could my general know any barbarians from the north? Don't try to curry favor here. Go away, the general isn't home right now!"

Gao Yu didn't say much, but took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it over along with his name card. The doorman took the silver ingot, and his attitude softened. After taking the name card, he said, "The general is not at home at the moment. Please come to visit another day."

"Then when the general returns, please pass on a message for me, saying that the brothers Huai Shuo He Liu Hun and Mo He Du have come to visit."

"understood."

Gao Yu then turned around and left with Liu Taozhi and the others.

After putting away the silver ingots, this man threw Gao Yu's business card to the side of the road.

on the way back.

Liu Yi was quite indignant, "Damn it, it's just a watchdog, if this were in Huai Shuo..."

"All right."

Gao Yu interrupted him directly, saying meaningfully, "There will be an opportunity..."

He remembered it clearly: a powerful minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty led a group of horses to trample Luoyang and held a Yellow River "diving competition," making all the officials in the court play a game of elimination.

Liu Taozhi and the others didn't say anything more.

At this time.

Gao Yu suddenly turned around and looked at the tavern not far behind him.

"What's wrong, my lord?"

"Do you feel like someone is following us?"

"Should I go and find out?"

"No need, they should be guards from the Prince's residence."

Gao Yu waved his hand, indicating that the guards dared not stop him, so he let them follow him and record his whereabouts.

Just after Gao Yu and the others left.

Inside the tavern, three people immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It really is Huai Shuo! Let's go, let's keep following him!"

………………

"At today's court assembly, the Prince of Guangping and the Zhang family father and son colluded to frame you, the soldiers of the Central Army, for intercepting and killing the Princess. They intend to use the charge of treason to massacre you, the soldiers of the Central Army, in order to intimidate you and prevent you from disobeying their proposals!"

"The Prince of Jiangyang has done his best to speak up for the brothers in the central army at the court meeting, but one tree cannot support a forest; you must save yourselves!"

Yuan Yi's trusted guards had arrived at the gathering place of the central army soldiers to relay the contents of the court meeting, embellishing it slightly.

Most of the central army troops lived in Luoyang and were required to be on duty; they would only go out for training.

"How outrageous! Our ancestors made great contributions to the Great Wei! Why are Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager so unfair to us, the descendants of meritorious officials!"

"If you want to kill us, just give the order directly. Why bother with these baseless accusations?!"

"Exactly! How dare we, the inferiors, commit treason by intercepting and killing members of the royal family? This is such an obvious frame-up, can't the civil and military officials in the court see it?!"

"As expected, only the Prince of Jiangyang truly cares about us, the soldiers of the central army!!"

The soldiers in the central army were furious and their emotions were running high, as if they had suffered a tremendous injustice!

Kou Wen was in the crowd.

Compared to others, he looked uneasy and anxious. He was usually the most talkative person, but at this moment he dared not utter a word.

I was utterly horrified!

damn it!
Mu Yong's identity has been exposed?

If the imperial court were to investigate this thoroughly, it would surely lead back to them.

The soldiers who went out with him to intercept Zheng Da Che that day were filled with fear, and they were completely different from the other soldiers of the central army who were wronged and furious!

After everyone had left.

The group went to Kou Wen's house to discuss the matter.

"What should we do? If this is really discovered, we might not even have enough lives to survive!"

"General Kou, tell me, how should we conduct ourselves?"

"Why panic!"

Kou Wen shouted, "Can't you see how furious everyone else is? These past few days... we've all been visiting relatives and friends, rallying others, and appealing to the court for justice! I don't believe the court would dare to punish so many soldiers of the Central Army all at once! They wouldn't dare to incite our resentment!"

"it is good!"

Everyone agreed!
at this time.

Three people came to Kowen's house.

"General! Good news!!"

"what news?"

"I told you a few days ago that Huai Shuo had appeared near Jingyue Temple? Today we saw him again on the road!"

"really!!"

Kou Wen was initially startled, but quickly calmed down.

"We have a life-or-death matter to deal with right now, so let's put it aside for now and deal with it after this is over!"

Do you know where he lives?

“They lived in a villa belonging to the Prince of Guangping.”

Upon hearing the name Prince Guangping!
A look of resentment flashed in Kou Wen's eyes.

Hatred upon hatred!!
