Chapter 1044: The Resurrection of the Blue Sky

Until Wei Wuji came to Chu Huan, Chu Huan could not remember the person Wei Wuji. He could not remember that he knew a man named Wei Wuji. When Wei Wuji stood in front of Chu Huan with his wife, Chu Huan looked at it and finally had a vague impression. He consciously saw the young man who looked polite in front of him looked familiar.

Wei Wuji seemed to know that Chu Huan would not think of him immediately. After giving the ceremony, he reminded with a smile: "Chu Duke can remember the Pinyunfang in the capital? At that time, Chu Duke was still in Wu Jingwei."

Chu Huan thought for a moment, suddenly realized, remembered it, spread her eyebrows and said with a smile: "So it's you? Mr. Wuji... Yes, Wei Wuji, I remember you." Turning to Wei Wuji's wife, she saw the woman wearing a furry tassel skirt, bright and gorgeous, with a light purple cloud smoke shirt on her upper body, with light makeup and a single snail bun standing up, looking very beautiful. Chu Huan thought for a while and said: "You are...oh, is Miss Ziying?"

He had already remembered that when he was in the capital, he had worked in Wujingwei and had gone to the fireworks workshop to listen to music and drink with his brothers from Wujingwei. At that time, this Ziying girl seemed to be a famous singer in Pinyunfang. Wei Wuji was just a down-and-out scholar, obsessed with Ziying. At that time, Chu Huan redeemed Ziying and fulfilled the incomprehensible couple. After that, Chu Huan quickly forgot and did not remember it in his heart. But he never expected that Wei Wuji and his wife would actually come to Xiguan. If they had not met today, Chu Huan might never have remembered this couple again in his life.

Ziying heard Chu Huan say his name and Yingying gave a gift, "Mife Wei Zhou, I have met Chu Du!"

Chu Huan was stunned and then felt a little embarrassed. The name Ziying was the name of the girl who was a singer in the capital. For her, it was a past that was unbearable to look back on. Even this name was also a shame. Naturally, she never wanted to mention it again. She called herself Wei Zhou, which was called herself a good wife.

"Well, Mr. Wuji, we seem to have not seen each other for almost two years." Chu Huan laughed and said, "Is this always good?"

"I was able to get married with my wife because of the kindness of Director Chu." Wei Wuji sighed: "After parting, I made up my mind to be a new person, and no longer give up on myself and fail the exam many times. That was fate, and I also cut off my career. When I was studying, some classmates became officials, so I found them to serve as staff, and I had no worries about food and clothing with my wife."

"That's good." Chu Huan turned around and introduced to Pei Ji: "Brother, this is Mr. Wei Wuji!"

Pei Ji had already come forward and smiled, "Young Master Wuji is polite, I'm going to Pei Ji!" When he walked, one leg first stepped out and the other leg dragged up. Anyone could tell that it was a cripple. Wei Wuji's eyes were a little surprised, but he reacted instantly. If he showed a strange look, Pei Ji would feel uncomfortable and hurriedly restrained his expression. Pei Ji had already smiled and said, "Young Master Wuji, don't care. My leg has been lame for many years. Apart from not being able to run fast, it seems that it has a big impact on me."

"I dare not, don't dare!" Wei Wuji hurriedly bowed, and Chu Huan had already introduced: "This is my sworn brother, Pei Ji, Brother Pei!"

Wei Wuji immediately felt awe-inspiring, and he could make Chu Huan become the elder brother, and he respected him very much. Of course, this lame man was not an ordinary person. After tidying up his clothes, he gave another gift.

Chu Huan invited Wei Wuji and his wife to sit down. Seeing that Wei Wuji and his wife looked like dusty, he couldn't help but ask: "Young Master Wuji, is Mr. Wei... coming from the gate just now?"

"That's right." Wei Wuji sighed: "Duke Chu, after the separation in the capital, my wife and I went to Hebei Road..."

"Hebei?" Chu Huan asked immediately.

He knew that the Qingtian King had been in the rebellion of Hebei Road, and it was very powerful. Although rebellions were inevitable in various places after the founding of the Great Qin Empire, the real cause of the rebellion was the rebellion of Hebei.

The Hebei rebellion was far earlier than the Tianmen Road in the southeast. The three major salt-producing places of the empire. In addition to the Donghai Road and Jianghuai Road in the southeast, there is also Hebei Road. Hebei Road is the third largest avenue among the sixteen roads of the empire, with six states under its jurisdiction. Because it is a salt-producing place, the taxes on Hebei Road are much higher than those of other roads. If the beginning of the empire's founding, a series of administrations made the local government still clear, and when the emperor began to be obsessed with practicing Taoism, the corruption in the local area began with Hebei Road.

Officials from Hebei Road formed cliques for personal gain, cleverly established names, and imposed heavy taxes. In addition, Hebei Road suffered natural disasters for several years and severe drought. In addition, there was a tsunami that year, which destroyed a large number of salt fields in Hebei Road, causing heavy losses, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the people were living in vain. The Qingtian King started from a small county and rose up, and there were many followers. In just a few months, Hebei Road turned upside down, and most of the land fell into the hands of the Qingtian King.

Seeing that the situation was critical, the court sent Han Santong, the general of Zuo Tun Guard, to lead troops to suppress the rebellion. Han Santong led elite troops to conquer Hebei. The war was not smooth at the beginning. Although Han Santong was a new generation of brave general who was very capable of fighting in the court, the Qingtian King was also a rare genius. He was well-versed in military tactics and had many strange people and events under his command. The four marquises under his command were also famous in Hebei. The most important thing was that the uprising of the Qingtian King in Hebei was in line with the hearts of the people and was very supportive of the Hebei people. Because of this, Han Santong and the Qingtian King fought in Hebei for more than a year. In the end, the Qingtian King was unable to continue to fight with Han Santong, who was supported by the court.

The Qingtian King suffered repeated setbacks and finally had no choice but to break it into pieces and disperse his soldiers. The Qingtian King's army, which once had tens of thousands, soon disappeared from Hebei Road.

The Qingtian King's Rebel Army was originally from a commoner, so it was hidden very quickly. It returned to the people and received protection from the people. Han Santong searched everywhere for the remnants of the Qingtian King. Although he also captured many remnants and was sentenced to death in public, he could not kill all the people of Hebei Road. The power of the Qingtian King did not disappear in Hebei, but Han Santong could not find the Qingtian King, and even the four marquises under the Qingtian King could not capture it. Because of this, Hebei Road seemed calm, but in fact, the hidden dangers of the Qingtian King had never been eliminated. He had a deep foundation in Hebei and could make a comeback at any time.

Han Santong submitted a memorial to the court, not to get rid of the Qingtian King for one day and not to return to Beijing for one day. At that time, the southeast Tianmen Dao was already ready to move. The court was shocked by the Qingtian King's uprising and was afraid to underestimate the Qingtian King. It also considered that if the Qingtian King in Hebei made a comeback, the capital of the empire would be under the attack of the north and south, and issued an order to lead tens of thousands of troops to Hebei and wipe out the remnants of the Qingtian King.

However, when Chu Huan left Beijing and came to the northwest to take office, Han Santong was still in Hebei and still did not catch the Qingtian King. However, Chu Huan was deeply doubting whether Han Santong could catch the Qingtian King.

The thing that surprised him the most was that he had encountered all kinds of things in the Jingu Landa Desert was that he learned from Mei Niang that the Qingtian King had actually appeared in the desert.

Chu Huan clearly remembered that the tornado was strong that night. Mei Niang and the King of Qingtian were determined to rescue the Black Dragon Marquis who were taken to Xiliang by the delegation. They almost succeeded. However, a mysterious man in black robe emerged from the sky. The Black robe took the Black Dragon Marquis away. Everyone chased him in the desert in the dark. Chu Huan and Mei Niang encountered a tornado. Although they survived in the end, Chu Huan had never heard of the King of Qingtian and the mysterious Black robe since then.

That has always been a big mystery in his mind. If the Blue Heavenly King appeared in the desert to personally rescue the Black Dragon Marquis, then why did the Black Robe that suddenly appeared take away the Black Dragon Marquis with a knife? What is the identity of the Black Robe? What is his purpose of taking away the Black Dragon Marquis? Chu Huan has never thought about the doubts in it, but whenever he thinks about it, his mind is confused. He doesn't even know whether he still has the chance to see the Blue Heavenly King and the Black Robe. He even occasionally thinks about whether he can still see the Red Snake Marquis who are as charming as the bone marrow in his life.

"Yes." Wei Wuji nodded and said, "A classmate of Wei was the head of the Ministry of War in Dingzhou, Hebei Road. I went to join him, but I became an aide in his mansion."

"In this way, Mr. Wuji is now working in Hebei?" Chu Huan was puzzled, "Then this time I worked hard, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, but I don't know...!"

Wei Wuji sighed and shook his head and said, "Du Chu, I'm going to tell you, my classmate has...ah, hey, he has already died as the assassin's hand!"

Chu Huan was stunned.

"Don't Chu know what happened in Hebei?" Wei Wuji was a little surprised when he saw Chu Huan's expression, "Although ordinary people don't know much about blocking news over there, but... Chu is a governor, so he should know some news?"

Chu Huan shook his head and sighed, "Young Master Wuji doesn't know. It's not long since I came to the northwest to take office. I haven't even sat in the hot butt. I haven't figured out the matter at Xiguan yet, let alone the matter in Hebei." His body leaned slightly and he said in confusion: "Young Master Wuji, what's wrong with Hebei? Why did your classmate... be stabbed?"

"Duke Chu really doesn't know." Wei Wuji smiled bitterly: "Hebei Road, there are not two officials who were assassinated. Just two months ago, in just a few days, dozens of officials of all sizes were stabbed one after another... Xiaoling Cang was raided and a large amount of money and grain was stolen. At the same time, several Hyogos located in Hebei Road were attacked at the same time... When General Han brought reinforcements to Xiaoling Cang, there was already a huge fire. The robbers not only robbed a large amount of food, but also could not take it away. They burned Xiaoling Cang with a fire."

Chu Huan was shocked. Even Pei Ji, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but frown.
