Chapter 249: The County Lord Comes Forward
?
Xuanyuan Luo Yu became more and more confused, and said, "You mean that my father pretended not to know, could it be that he acquiesced to our actions?"
Guo Haoze was greatly comforted and said: "I'll just say that the Ninth Prince is also a sensible person, and he can't bear to let my hundred soldiers die in vain.
Tianlan said: "Don't think about the benefits first. Let me make an assumption, if this 'exchange' is a trap, and the 'exchange' of prisoners of war is a pretense, what is its purpose? ”
Guo Haoze didn't know why, and said: "Guo is a civilian official, which is equivalent to redundant material in the army, what interests do they have?"
Xuanyuan Luo Yu's face changed suddenly, and said: "Although Uncle Guo has no real power, he is an auxiliary minister directly appointed by His Majesty, which is equivalent to the position of Marshal of Father. If Uncle Guo is captured, it will definitely be a serious blow to our morale!"
Tianlan said: "It's hard to say whether there is a blow to us, because there are still nine princes here, and the backbone of the main heart has not changed." However, it is certain that there must be a great boost to the morale of the Green Dragon! As long as the Blue Dragon Lord is slightly incited, the effect is not much different from directly arresting the Nine Princes. ”
Guo Haoze's face sank and finally began to think. Xuanyuan Luo Yu said: "If this is the case, my father will not sit idly by! If something happens to Uncle Guo, it will not be easy for my father to 'hand' your ...... to His Majesty."
Tianlan said: "That's right, it's not good to 'hand' the generation." But what if this is His Majesty's order?"
Xuanyuan Luo Yu's eyes widened, shocked by Tianlan's assumption, and said, "You mean that Your Majesty instructed your father to collude with Qinglong to frame Uncle Guo?" After saying this, she herself almost fainted, which is also outrageous...... How can anyone collude with the enemy to frame their own people?
Guo Haoze was even more categorical: "Impossible! What you say is all assumptions, and assumptions are not valid! Guo Mou's heart is towards Qiyang, and he has no second intentions! His Majesty has entrusted Guo with a heavy responsibility, how can it be as you say!"
Seeing Guo Haoze so 'excited', Tianlan fell silent. Truth be told, his speculation is bold, but not impossible. Because he has learned these days that Guo Haoze has a very high prestige in the DPRK and China, and although he is not conspicuous in his official position under the pressure of the main war faction, he can be said to be the backbone of the anti-war faction! Not to mention the issue of high merit and shocking the master, if Emperor Qiyang intends to show his strength, this group of old stubborn anti-war factions will be a thorn in the side and a thorn in the 'flesh', and they must be eliminated!
This time is the opportunity! Emperor Qiyang sent Guo Haoze here, and he was alone and helpless, and it was a great time to get rid of him! However, he was meticulous and never did anything out of the ordinary, so it was very difficult to catch him! In that case, why not take advantage of Qinglong, anyway, this matter will also be beneficial to Qinglong. If Guo Haoze is arrested, it will be a morale boost for Qinglong, and it will also be a good opportunity for the Qiyang army to be purged. You must know that no matter which army it is, the integrity of military power is very important, and I believe that the Nine Princes will not refuse.
Although Tianlan was reluctant, he also admitted that if it were him, he would probably do the same. Guo Haoze is a rare loyal minister who is loyal to the country, but he will not turn around many times, and his vitality in officialdom is far inferior to those opportunistic and flattering corrupt officials.
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized: Why do you want to stop Guo Haoze from sending him to death? This is a fight in Qiyang's nest, and it will benefit the Qinglong and do no harm! As a nobleman of the Qinglong Empire, he should vigorously promote this matter, so why should he oppose it? Guo Haoze is willing to send him to death, what does it matter to him? He just needs to smile and stand by and watch?
He looked at Guo Haoze's angry face, and his heart was even more entangled. Guo Haoze has many shortcomings, but Tianlan still admires this person, after all, it is not easy to meet one or two people who are honest and honest in this era. However, Tianlan clearly knew that this was a trap and should not be allowed to go, but Tianlan's position could not stop it, nor should it be stopped......
Guo Haoze, it's really pitiful. It is ironic that he is a loyal minister who benefits the people, but in the end he has to be calculated by the two countries......
In the end, it was only under the persuasion of the county lord of Luoyu that Guo Haoze left angrily, Tianlan's expression did not move, Ye Yi couldn't see what he was thinking at all, he understood half of what he was thinking just now, but he was completely puzzled by the mysteries, and even he felt that these were Tianlan's assumptions, was it a little unfounded?
The night passed in a hurry.
Early the next morning, outside the 'gate' of Shaying Guanxi City, horse-drawn carriages were drawn into a long line, and a convoy of mighty 'swings' and 'swings'. There is no doubt that these carriages contained prisoners of war from Qinglong. With so many carriages, Tianlan and the ten of them were naturally not enough, and Tie Xing'an also assigned a hundred ordinary soldiers to escort them.
Tianlan didn't care about the specific matters, they were all in charge of Zong Zhizhong, the captain of their team. Zong Zhizhong is also a soldier, and he is familiar with these natural vehicles, which is also the main intention of Tie Xing'an to make him the captain.
Tianlan and the ten of them each rode horses, and ordinary soldiers did not have this treatment, so they could only walk. Because the carriage was not small, their progress was also very slow, and the journey of the day was only half of the journey by the evening. Tianlan had been silently following the back of the group, occasionally glancing at the carriage in the middle. It is said that the carriage surrounded in the middle was ridden by Guo Haoze. Guo Haoze didn't 'show' his face all day, nor did he say hello to Tianlan. He didn't notice, however, that the curtain of the carriage occasionally lifted a small crack when he was frowning.
Ye Yi saw that he was preoccupied, drove his horse to his side, and said, "Are you still worried? ”
Tianlan shook his head, and was about to speak, when an ordinary soldier ran over, saluted neatly, and said, "My lord, Lord Guo, please come over." ”
"Looking for me?" Tianlan honestly said that he didn't want to go, he had come here, what else was there to say? But after thinking about it, let's go and have a look, after all, Guo Haoze's official position is much bigger than him now, and if he ignores it, it will inevitably be true.
Ye Yi didn't think there was anything, after all, Guo Haoze didn't chat with Tianlan once or twice. However, when Zong Zhizhong saw Tianlan enter Guo Haoze's carriage, he frowned and reminded Ye Yi in a low voice: "Ye Yi, tell your friends not to get too close to Lord Guo. It's not good for you. ”
During this period of time, Zong Zhizhong took good care of Ye Yi, and also gave him a lot of guidance when he was sparring, Ye Yi had a good impression of this person, and said, "Oh, okay." ”
Tianlan entered the carriage and saw that there were only three people in the carriage. Two guards and Guo Haoze. The two guards were wearing full-body armor, they couldn't see their figures, and their faces were half covered, and they didn't have any bloody murderous aura, but they were very powerful. Tianlan faintly felt familiar, as if he recognized these two strange guards. Their skin can be seen between the armor, and there are some wrinkles, which proves that they are not young, but the skin is well maintained, and it is not quite like a military camp with a wind meal and a 'dew' camp.
Guo Haoze turned his back to him, and Tianlan looked at his back carefully, feeling very strange. His clothes, body shape, hairstyle, etc. are all Guo Haoze's appearance, but Tianlan still feels awkward in his heart, as if this Guo Haoze has changed someone.
"Guo Haoze" turned around, his appearance was also Guo Haoze's appearance, and even the wrinkles were exactly the same, but Tianlan was even more awkward. Because of his expression, although he pretended to be serious, Tianlan could see that he did not have the temperament of Guo Haoze!
Tianlan cautiously took half a step back and asked, "Who are you!"
"Guo Haoze" was a little surprised, and then his eyebrows were full of smiles, and he said, "Little brother, don't you recognize Guo?" His voice is exactly the same as Guo Haoze's, but this voice can still hear a lot of differences in Tianlan's ears, even if it is a small difference, it can't hide from his ears.
He hesitated, sighed, and said, "Luo Yu County Lord, then these two are the two personal guards of the County Lord, right?" Although it was a question, there was no questioning tone, as if he had affirmed that Guo Haoze, who had almost no flaws in front of him, was Xuanyuan Luo Yu!
This time, the county lord of Luo Yu was really surprised, resumed his original voice, and said, "How did you find out?"
Tianlan smiled bitterly: "County Lord, don't forget that I am a wind warlock, and the 'hole' inspection power is not comparable to ordinary people. The county lord's disguise is vivid, but there are still a lot of leaks. ”
In fact, in all fairness, Lord Luoyu's disguise level is really first-class, but in front of Tianlan, this kind of disguise is pediatrics. As for the identity of the county lord, he only had to think about it to understand: it must be because he said those words to Guo Haoze yesterday that made Xuanyuan Luoyu worried. That's why she made this decision.
Lord Luo Yu tore off the human skin mask on his face, 'revealed' his original good face, and said unhappily: "It was so easy for you to find out. I didn't have time to say a word. I wanted to tease you. ”
Tianlan shook her head again and again, listening to Xuanyuan Luoyu's tone, she knew that she didn't take this 'transaction' to heart at all, this was to send Guo Haoze to death...... He immediately suddenly realized that to Qinglong, Xuanyuan Luoyu is no different from Guo Haoze! These two people, no matter which one they catch, are both famous, and they have greatly boosted Qinglong's morale! On the contrary, Qiyang's loss of Guo Haoze is in the middle of the heart, but with the loss of Xuanyuan Luoyu, I am afraid that the Nine Princes, who love 'women' with their hearts, will go crazy!
In this way, it is even better! The Nine Princes must not know that his most beloved 'daughter' dares to do such a thing, if he knows, he will definitely find a way to stop it, then Xuanyuan Luo Yu will never appear here! After Xuanyuan Luo Yu is arrested, even if the Nine Princes take care of the overall situation, they will be a little restrained in the march, isn't this just right?
But...... So......
