    One hundred and fifty surrender

    "You are too unlucky, aren't you? Everywhere you go you encounter such unreasonable disasters!"

    At this moment, what Meng Ju felt was not shock, but anger.

    Meng Ju didn¡¯t care who from Xianbei became the emperor, and he had no loyalty to the emperor. Even if the assassins killed the emperor and chopped him into stuffed buns, he didn¡¯t feel it was a pity - it didn¡¯t matter if the emperor died, but the prerequisite was not to implicate himself.

    The emperor was killed by an assassin. Meng Ju didn't know whether the maids and eunuchs present could survive; but he was an officer of the Dongling Guards and a fierce general with the reputation of "the enemy of ten thousand people". If the emperor was killed in front of him, this "incompetent protection"  "You can't escape the crime no matter what.

    Meng Ju gritted his teeth with hatred: "These bastards! They didn't come early and they didn't come late. They chose to assassinate me when I was there - they came twice - this is not an assassination of the emperor and important ministers. This is simply an assassination of myself."  .¡±

    But if the other party dares to assassinate the emperor and important ministers in such a crazy manner, it must be a very powerful force.  If you sabotage the opponent's assassination once, it can be said that you encountered it unintentionally; but if you sabotage it again, the other party may bear a grudge against you, and the next time the assassin may come for you.

    After hesitating for a while, Meng Ju raised his voice and shouted: "Fathers, please stay."

    The "eunuchs" in front all turned back and looked at him expressionlessly.  The leading eunuch asked hoarsely: "My lord, what advice do you have?"

    ¡°Father-in-law, did you drop something?¡±

    Several eunuchs looked shocked, and the leading eunuch looked confused: "Excuse me, sir, what has been lost in our house?"

    ¡°It¡¯s not anything important, just a few pieces of cloth.¡±

    "cloth?"

    Meng Ju smiled and said, "A few days ago, did the father-in-laws leave the masked cloths by the cabin at the foot of Mang Mountain? The father-in-laws left in a hurry and didn't have time to take them away. I helped them pick them up.  ¡±

    The expressions of several eunuchs suddenly changed. They immediately dispersed and retracted their hands into their sleeves or lapels.

    Meng Ju took two steps back hastily. He stared at the opponent's shoulders and hands warily, his waist bent low, and his hunched figure was gathering momentum like a leopard, full of explosive power.

    From the pavilion dozens of steps away, laughter and the sound of music and drums could not help but come from the palace. The nobles in the palace who were immersed in joy could never imagine that there was something about to break out just where they looked.  Life and death are dangerous!

    After a moment of confrontation, the man said hoarsely: "You have good eyesight, and you recognized me even with your face covered - what do you want?"

    "Who are you and what are you doing? I don't know, and I don't want to know! I'm here to see His Majesty. I just want to come and go back safely. I don't want to care about other people's affairs. You go your way, and I'll go my way.  After today, whatever you do will have nothing to do with me."

    Several assassins exchanged glances, and the leading assassin said solemnly: "It's easy to say! It's hard for us to find an opportunity. You just let us go with just one word. It's too much of a loss, isn't it? My lord, you have an audience with the emperor today.  Don¡¯t you dare to bring weapons? We¡¯d better advise you not to meddle in other people¡¯s business and leave as soon as possible.¡±

    Meng Ju sighed: "There is no way. If you insist on doing things today, and the emperor dies, and I fail to protect you here, it will definitely be a death - instead of having the three tribes wiped out, it is better to fight with you, so that the family can still get some compensation.  . I didn¡¯t bring any weapons, but why don¡¯t you try my fists? There is a line between rivers and lakes, and you have cornered me, so there is nothing I can do.¡±

    Several assassins looked fierce and eager to try, but they were stopped by the leader: "Stop!"

    He frowned, then relaxed, and in an instant, he had thought clearly: this military attach¨¦ was telling the truth.  If the emperor dies, he who is present will certainly not survive.  Therefore, he will definitely risk his life to stop himself today.

    This guy killed seven of his companions that day, and his martial arts skills are very good.  Even if he now has no weapons and his martial arts skills are reduced, he can always delay himself for a while by fighting to the death, and maybe even kill one or two of his companions.  More importantly, the most important thing in an assassination is surprise, but if a fight breaks out, the other side will be prepared.  There are always three or five masters around the emperor. If he is prepared, he will not be able to assassinate him no matter what.  Rather than losing your life in vain, it is better to look for better opportunities next time.

    He nodded and said slowly: "Okay, just think of it as giving face to our friends in the world, let's let the dog emperor go today. Sir, please don't get in our way again next time."

    Meng Ju smiled bitterly: "Everyone, are you mistaken? Do you think I like to meet you uncles very much?"

    The assassin was stunned.  Thinking about it both timesMeng Ju stirred up trouble. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh.

    The assassins turned around and left. They still imitated the eunuch's humble and respectful manner, lining up and walking out in a neat manner.

    Watching them go away, Meng Ju felt relieved: he solved the matter without bloodshed and finally did not form a deadly feud with the other party.

    He was very curious: Who sent this group of assassins who specifically targeted the emperor and his ministers?

    It can¡¯t be the Murong family, right?  Over the years, the Murong family has always been determined to have the throne;

    The general of the Six Towns, Tuoba Xiong, is also very suspicious: Tuoba Xiong has a personal vendetta against Bai Wusha; and if the emperor is assassinated, from a blood perspective, Tuoba Huang, as the emperor's uncle, has a greater chance than outsiders.  He controls a large number of troops in the Northern Territory. Once there is chaos in the center, he leads two thousand Northern Territory Doukai southward. In the name of taking care of the house, he supports a certain prince to ascend to power and appoints himself as regent. He can also legitimately control the center.

    However, it was miserable enough to be the emperor as Tuoba Huang. Outside there was Tuoba Xiong and inside there was Murong Po. Outside the court, there was also the Ye family who sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight. There were Black Mountain bandits in the Central Plains and there were people in the northern Xinjiang.  The demon clan has Southern Tang to the south and Shuzhong to the west.  When the emperor went to court, he saw at a glance that there were so many people, all of them fucking traitors - how did this fat man survive the past eight years?  It's really amazing that he can still hug me with such a smile.  Meng Ju asked himself, if it had been him, he would have cried and lied down and quit.

    Meng Ju thought about it, if Tuoba Xiong, the general of the Six Towns, really succeeded in usurping the throne and taking control of the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty, what would he do?  Although he has always avoided participating in politics, unknowingly, his fate as a small person has been closely linked to the Northern Wei regime.  If Emperor Tuoba Huang falls, Bai Wusha will also lose power; if Bai Wusha loses power, then he, the governor of Dongping Tongzhi, will also die.

    Although there was still a retreat from the Southern Dynasty, Meng Ju gradually realized that the status of Tiance Beifu in the Southern Dynasty was not as high as imagined - certainly not as important as the status of Dongling Guard in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

    The head of Dongling Guard can chat and laugh with the emperor. Dongling Guard has its own intelligence agencies, judicial agencies and armed forces in each province, with freedom of movement and sufficient funds. In comparison, Beifu is more like a pure intelligence agency.  It can only be done externally, not internally.

    Now, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, I am already the real power supervisor of the province. Can the Southern Dynasty give myself such a high status?

    Without asking Mr. Yi, Meng Ju knew that this was impossible.  For a suspect from the Northern Dynasty, the Northern Mansion would at most give him an official position with a false title and just settle him down. He might not even have personal freedom, let alone be able to hold real power.

    In the past, Meng Ju was just a low-ranking officer, and this carefree and comfortable life was not bad. But now that his status is getting higher and he has tasted the power, he gradually has other ideas: to be respected and respected.  Flattery, being able to control the life and death of others at will, this kind of life seems not bad at all - Meng Ju himself didn't notice it, and unknowingly, something strange had gradually sprouted in his heart.

    While he was daydreaming, the chat between the emperor and Bai Wusha came to an end.  Bai Wusha bowed to the emperor and said goodbye, walking this way.  His face was full of spring breeze and he was in high spirits: "Meng Ju, have you been waiting for a long time? Come out with me."

    The two of them returned along the garden path.  Seeing Meng Ju's dazed expression, Bai Wusha thought he was still worried, so he took the initiative to tell him: "Meng Ju, don't worry, His Majesty has a very good impression of you. When you go back, write a note of gratitude to His Majesty - Forgot to tell  You know, the provincial governors have the right to report directly to His Majesty. From now on, you will also be qualified to report directly to His Majesty.

    If you don¡¯t know how to write memorials, just hire a master.  Now that you are on your own, you need to prepare some staff around you.  If there are no good candidates, I will recommend a few to you.  "

    Meng Ju had an idea and said, "Master of the town, I have a request for my humble duty."

    "What's up?"

    "Thanks to your misguided love, Lord General, I have been appointed as the governor. However, I have little talent and little knowledge. I don't understand anything. I am just afraid that I will do the wrong thing or say the wrong thing. From now on, I will submit your Majesty's memorial. I would like to trouble Lord General first.  Please help me check it out and see if there are any mistakes. Sir, you can correct it and hand it over to His Majesty - I'm really sorry, I've thanked you for my hard work."

    Bai Wusha's eyes lit up: Although he didn't say it clearly, it was obvious that Meng Ju was showing his intention to surrender.  It was not easy to win the allegiance of this peerless general after all his efforts and effort.

    Bai Wusha was happy in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He just said lightly: "Who knows how to be a governor from birth? Young people should be aggressive. What should they be afraid of doing wrong things? Who doesn't do wrong things? Just do it with confidence.  Well, the General Administration supports you."

    "Yes, with the support of the General Administration and your Excellency, IDon't be afraid of anything.  "

    "If you don't understand something, just write back and ask me. If someone bullies you outside, tell me and the General Administration will help you stand up."

    Meng Ju was about to speak when suddenly, several rapid gong sounds of "dang-dang, dang-dang" came from nowhere, and a burst of rapid shouting came from the distance.

    Hearing this voice, Bai Wusha's expression suddenly changed, and he lost his voice and said: "No, an assassin has entered the imperial garden! Meng Ju, come back with me to protect him!" Before he could finish his words, he had already rushed back along the original road like a gust of wind.  .

    Meng Ju was stunned and quickly followed Bai Wusha back.  While running, he suddenly thought of something, and his whole body became cold with fear: "If those assassins are caught alive, what will happen if they confess what happened just now?"
