Nangong Ling asked Gao Peisheng again who he was loyal to, and his eyes were cold, staring at him like a frost knife and ice sword, so he couldn't avoid it for a while.

Obviously, Nangong Ling will not give up if he can't come up with an answer today.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Gao Peisheng knelt on the ground with a thud, and struggled and said, "Your Majesty, the slave really doesn't dare to choose!" ”

One is the emperor, the other is also the emperor, since the formation of the shadow guard, it is to listen to the emperor's words, this concept is deep-rooted, no matter which emperor violates what he says, it is not allowed by the belief in their bones.

And Gao Peisheng has been guarding Emperor Sheng An since he was a shadow guard, and after so many years, he naturally has a different kind of affection for Emperor Sheng An, so he really can't say that he betrayed Emperor Sheng An's will.

Nangong Ling sneered and said, "You can't choose it, can you?" ”

Gao Peisheng knelt on the ground, without raising his head, looking like he was resigned to his fate.

This look not only did not make Nangong Ling feel his loyalty, but said in a cold voice: "If you can't choose, then you don't have to choose." ”

Gao Peisheng was overjoyed, could it be that Nangong Ling wanted to let him go, and raised his head happily.

However, as soon as he raised his head, he heard Nangong Ling's next order: "From today onwards, there is no need for the shadow guard to save zài." ”

This sentence made Gao Peisheng's soul disappear, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Your Majesty, what does this mean?" ”

"Is my words hard to understand?" Nangong Ling didn't have a trace of expression on his face, as if he was just talking about something extremely light: "What's the use of me asking for a bunch of people who are not loyal to me?" Rather than leaving you to waste food, you might as well just die clean. ”

Gao Peisheng almost couldn't believe what he heard, the shadow guard is a tradition that has been passed down by the Nangong royal family for hundreds of years, and the emperors of all dynasties have attached great importance to the shadow guard, but now Nangong Ling actually said that he didn't want the shadow guard, let all the shadow guards die.

Boundless bitterness slipped through Gao Peisheng's mouth, he wanted to gamble, bet that Nangong Ling cared about the power of Yingwei, so he would go online in some things, but it seemed that he lost the bet, and the royal power he was proud of was nothing at all in Nangong Ling's eyes.

But since Nangong Ling didn't care about them at all, when he disobeyed the order and refused to protect Ruan Yanluo, and finally caused the cold palace to be exploited and Ruan Yanluo was burned to death, it was already time to deal with the shadow guard, how could he still be allowed to live, and let him live for so long?

To tell the truth, when the blood in the palace of Nangong Ling's killing was all over the place, he was really worried in his heart, although he was not the mastermind of Ruan Yanluo's death, he could not escape the blame, he was afraid that Nangong Ling's next big knife would be on his neck.

But no, Nangong Ling didn't deal with him at all, and it wasn't until he thought that this matter was about to pass that Nangong Ling suddenly started to do it.

Why is that? There's always a reason for that.

At this moment, Jing Xiao appeared not far from Nangong Ling again and made a gesture.

Nangong Ling saw that gesture, bowed his head and said to Gao Peisheng: "Gao Peisheng, I am going to the Queen Mother now, so I will give you another half an hour, this half an hour, you had better make a decision that I am satisfied with, otherwise, I will gather all the shadow guards, and I will watch you wipe your necks with my own eyes." ”

After speaking, Nangong Ling left Gao Peisheng, who was soaked in cold sweat and heavy clothes, and left in a chic and elegant manner.

Nangong Ling went to Ci'an Palace, Jing Xiao followed behind, in addition to Jing Xiao, he was also followed by a person wearing deadlock armor, this person was dressed in wind and frost, obviously came from a long distance, he walked a little not very neatly, and there were still a few injuries on his face with bruises that did not go away, even so, his every step was still very steady, showing a kind of soldier's style.

The Queen Mother was leaning on the couch to read the Buddhist scriptures, and when she saw Nangong Ling coming in, she glanced at it and said, "What kind of wind is it today, it actually blew the emperor here." ”

You must know that after the fire in the cold palace, it was not only Mei Xianxian who was grounded, although Nangong Ling could not directly order the queen mother to be grounded, but the Ci'an Palace was surrounded by three layers inside and outside, and the queen mother was no different from the grounding.

Listening to the Queen Mother's provocation, Nangong Ling was not moved at all, she stood there with a high spirit, and said lightly: "There is someone in the palace, and Sun Er thought that the Queen Mother might want to see it, so he specially brought it." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed, but she said: "The mourning family doesn't think there is anyone they want to see." ”

"This person must be what the Queen Mother wants to see." Nangong Ling made a look, and Jing Xiao immediately went out and brought the general in armor in.

The Queen Mother said that she didn't want to see it, but the corners of her eyes kept paying attention to the movement at the door, and when she heard the heavy footsteps unique to the soldiers, the Queen Mother's heart sank, and when she saw people, the Queen Mother even straightened up slightly, as if she wanted to sit up all at once, but halfway through, she was forced to press down.

"Who is this? Why do you want me to see me, an old woman? The Queen Mother pretended not to understand and said.

Nangong Ling didn't expose it, but introduced it very seriously: "This person's surname is Ou Mingzhan, he was the deputy general of his grandson when he was in Northern Xinjiang, and he was a natural general. ”

"It turned out to be the pillar of the country, but the mourning family was sluggish."

"A few days ago, someone took a letter stamped with my small seal, sent a letter to fight with Europe, and ordered him to go to a certain place to ambush the barbarians who stole into the territory of Tianyao, but unexpectedly he was ambushed by the barbarians and suffered heavy losses.

When the Queen Mother heard these things, she didn't show anything strange at all, and asked anxiously, "Then what's going on now?" How many men and horses were lost? ”

Nangong Ling sneered in his heart, just wondering how much his strength had been weakened?

"Grandmother don't worry, I said that the European war is a natural general." Nangong Ling's tone remained unchanged and said: "At the moment before entering the encirclement, Ou Zhan noticed that something was wrong, and decisively ordered to retreat, so that the barbarian encirclement was unfinished, although some soldiers were lost, but the barbarians did not get any benefits, the two armies were hard-hitting, and they really fought a game, this one was five or five points, and no one got a bargain from the other party." As for the Changfeng Army, although it was once forced into the mountains by unknown characters, the Changfeng Army was already good at mountain and jungle warfare, although it had been miserable for more than a month, but the losses were not large, plus the European war found the marks they left in time and rushed to reinforcements, but the people who pursued them suffered heavy casualties, if my estimate was correct, it was a blessing to be able to escape back to one-tenth. ”
