Gu Qing was noncommittal about Han Jie's speculation, and just smiled faintly.

His guess has a big loophole, the biggest loophole is that it is impossible for the Tibetan scouts to infiltrate from the periphery of the Anxi army camp to the vicinity of the marshal's tent, according to the rules, after the army is encamped, the scouts must be sent out to guard dozens of miles away.

Even if the Tibetan scout had the ability to avoid the eyes of all directions, when he reached the vicinity of the camp, he still had to face countless cavalry soldiers patrolling around the camp.

Even if they are mixed into the big camp, there are countless soldiers patrolling the big camp, and the handsome tent of the big camp is the core of the entire camp and the most heavily guarded place.

It can be said that the person who assassinated Gao Xianzhi tonight could not have been done by an external enemy, but an internal person.

Gu Qing inquired in detail about Gao Xianzhi's actions after his assassination, and when he knew that Gao Xianzhi ordered the generals under his command to immediately take a roll call according to the book and check whether the soldiers of the battalion were all in the camp tent, Gu Qing nodded.

is worthy of being a famous general, he is still very sober after the assassination, and it is estimated that it is the same as Gu Qing's judgment, it cannot be done by a foreign enemy.

Looking up at the sky, Gu Qing yawned and said, "Since Gao Jieshuai is fine, then continue to sleep, most of the assassins can't hold it, Zuo Wei symbolically sent a few teams of men and horses to walk around the camp, and then what should I do." ”

After speaking, Gu Qing turned around and returned to the handsome tent.

On the second day, the army was still camped by the Red River to rest. Before learning the specific movements of the Tubo army, Gao Xianzhi chose to wait for work and not be busy pursuing.

In the early morning, the Anxi army camp beat drums and gathered generals.

After Gu Qing dressed neatly, he led Chang Zhong and other generals and guards into the camp of the Anxi Army, and walked into the tent, Gu Qing greeted the generals in the tent with a smile, and suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the tent was not right.

These days of marching and getting along, Gu Qing and the generals of the Anxi Army are also familiar with each other, although they have no deep friendship, but everyone is still very good at the surface of the kung fu, they used to salute when they met, and they were polite when they met, and they laughed and joked with each other a few innocuous jokes, and the relationship was once very harmonious.

But today Gu Qing walked into the tent, but saw many generals of the Anxi Army glaring at him, since Gu Qing entered the tent, the atmosphere suddenly became cold, and there was a bad smell in the air, and many eyes were focused on Gu Qing, with anger and suspicion.

Gu Qing's smile froze, and his brows gradually furrowed.

Chang Zhong and the other four people who entered the account with Gu Qing also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, these four people were originally from the left guard of Chang'an, and the army of Gyeonggi had always been arrogant, where could others look at themselves with such hostile eyes.

So Chang Zhong snorted angrily, glared and said, "Look at what!" What do you mean? ”

No one answered, and only a few sneers came from the crowd.

Gao Xianzhi sat on the main seat, wearing armor, his face was expressionless, and Bian Lingcheng was sitting on the side, still smiling as usual, he was the only one who was not hostile when he looked at Gu Qing.

Gu Qing took a deep breath and saluted: "The last general will meet Gao Jieshuai." ”

Gao Xianzhi opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Hou Ye Mo Duoli, sit down quickly, the discussion will be held after the three-way drum." ”

Gu Qing then sat down on Gao Xianzhi's right side.

The three-way drum break, according to the military law, the three-way drum has not arrived, and the generals in the tent have all arrived, and no one dares to challenge this military law.

Gao Xianzhi stood up and looked around at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows, when it was ugly last night, an assassin assassinated Ben Shuai, and an arrow shot into the Shuai tent from the southeast corner, but only extinguished the oil lamp, Ben Shuai was fine, the thief was so bold and dared to assassinate the commander of the first army, this matter must be investigated to the end." Today, I would like to invite the generals to discuss the matter, and first report the number of people in each battalion one by one, and whether there was any lack of soldiers when the roll call was made after the incident last night. ”

The generals reported the number of people in turn, and as expected, after the incident last night, all the soldiers were not missing, and the internal investigation did not yield any results.

Gao Xianzhi was not disappointed, nodded calmly, and said: "After the generals go back, they will continue to investigate, Ben Shuai feels that the assassins must not be Tubo thieves, nor are they bandits, they don't have that much ability to infiltrate around Shuai's tent." ”

Suddenly, a general of the Anxi Army stood up and stared at Gu Qing and said, "Master Gu, I don't know if there was an investigation in the left guard camp last night?" ”

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows, revealing an interested smile, heh, this is to do something.

"It was only half an hour after the incident last night that my battalion had to report it, so there was no investigation, because it is certain that the assassin had nothing to do with my left guard battalion." Gu Qing said with a smile.

The general didn't relent: "My Anxi army camp has been investigated, why didn't Hou Ye's left guard battalion investigate?" ”

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Are you blaming me?" ”

The general hesitated for a moment, but after all, he still had a trace of reason and knew the rules of respect and inferiority, so he had to sit down hatefully and no longer speak.

Gu Qing smiled and looked around at the faces of the generals of the Anxi Army, seeing that everyone looked indifferent, and some even showed anger, Gu Qing suddenly understood.

"No wonder I entered the tent today and saw a stinky face that ate and didn't digest it, it turns out that you actually suspect that the assassin is a member of my left guard battalion, hehe, you also want to be blind, a group of stupid and reckless people without brains!" Gu Qing sneered and scolded.

Another Anxi general stood up and said angrily: "How can Master Hou speak hurtfully!" ”

In the tent, the Anxi generals were filled with righteous indignation, and the whispers became louder and louder.

Gu Qing cocked Erlang's legs, leisurely raised his little thumb and plucked his ears, and said casually: "You have wronged me for no reason, can't I scold people?" This is the rule of the Anxi Army? You Anxi are the biggest, no matter who you suspect, who has to endure honestly? ”

The general who stood up sneered: "Who sent the assassin last night, I know in my heart!" Thought that Gao Jieshuai was assassinated, and then found someone to be accused of being an assassin on behalf of the dead ghost, and from then on the power of the Anxi Army could be in his hands? Then we also have to ask the soldiers if they agree! ”

Gu Qing smiled and praised: "Wow, my thinking is so thoughtful, I am speechless, or I just kneel down and confess my guilt now, okay?" A group of pig brains are actually generals who lead troops, and I am really worried that in the future, when you go to the battlefield, how many Tang athletes will be brought into the ghost gate......"

Chang Zhong and the other four generals also stood up, pointed at the general and scolded: "Bastard, what kind of character are you?" Dare to be disrespectful to Master Hou! Our Hou Ye is favored by His Majesty in Chang'an, how can it be rare to have military power in Anxi? The heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman, especially shameless! ”

The Anxi army and the general of the left guard immediately quarreled.

Gu Qing lazily stood still, and quickly glanced at Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng out of the corner of his eye.

Gao Xianzhi was still expressionless, unable to see the clues, Bian Lingcheng was smiling, and the handsome tent was so noisy that he still looked at it with a smile, as if it had nothing to do with him at all.

Gu Qing deliberately glanced at Bian Lingcheng again, and secretly wondered in his heart.

If the biggest suspicion at the moment is actually Bian Lingcheng.

The assassination of Gao Xianzhi seems to be an unpopular scheme, but looking at the situation in Shuai's tent today, the relationship between the generals of the Anxi Army and the Zuo Wei Army has broken down, and it is logical to lead the object of suspicion to Gu Qing, successfully provoking the relationship between the Anxi Army and the Zuo Wei, and even provoking his relationship with Gao Xianzhi.

If Gao Xianzhi and Gu Qing are both victims, and the assassins are internal, then the only beneficiary is Bian Lingcheng, the boss is out of harmony, and the relationship between the two armies is broken and not subordinate to each other, such a situation must be what Bian Lingcheng is willing to see, right?

Gu Qing pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Gao Xianzhi and said with a smile: "Gao Jieshuai, you say something fair, if you also think that the assassin was sent by me, I will confess my guilt on the spot and hand over the guilt to Chang'an." ”

In the tent, the generals on both sides of the quarrel suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes looked at Gao Xianzhi.

Gao Xianzhi forced a smile and said, "Master Hou, don't be joking, how could this matter be your doing?" The Anxi army and the left guard camp were separated by ten miles, and the two camps were separated by fences, if the assassin was a member of the left guard, he could not infiltrate through the camp of the Anxi army to the vicinity of the handsome tent, so the assassin had absolutely nothing to do with Hou Ye. ”

Gu Qing continued to smile and asked, "What if I bribed the soldiers of the Anxi Army and secretly ordered him to assassinate the Jieshuai?" ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled bitterly: "Hou Ye Mo ridiculed his handsomeness, with Hou Ye's personality and ability, if you want Anxi's military power, there is no need to beat around the bush so much, you and I understand the truth." ”

In the tent, the generals of the two sides listened to the conversation between the two, and the generals of the Anxi Army seemed to understand something, as if they understood whether they understood the ground and looked at each other, and when they looked at Gu Qing again, there was no longer the hostility and anger in their eyes just now.

Gao Xianzhi glared at the generals of the Anxi Army who stood up and said: "Hou Ye scolded you for being pig brains, it's really not wrong at all, I suspect that everyone is justified, but Hou Ye has absolutely nothing to do with assassins, quickly make amends to Hou Ye!" ”

After the generals who jumped out first looked at each other, they hesitated and bowed down and clenched their fists, and said with a look of reluctance: "Lord Hou forgives his sins, is the last general wrong......

Gu Qing snorted and said, "Personally, I am actually very generous, others scold me, insult me, bully me, I will only scold back, scold back, and...... Scold back. You see, you have wronged me, I have scolded you, and our personal grievances have been offset, right? ”

Several generals nodded blankly.

Gu Qing smiled again: "Don't nod busily, I just said, I personally don't want to worry about you, but, the state has national laws, and the army has military regulations, at this moment, you and I are in the big tent of the Jieshuai, and you, as subordinate generals, slander and wronged the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu and the marquis of Qingcheng County and the protector in public, this matter can't be passed......"

The faces of several generals changed, but Gu Qing turned his head to look at Gao Xianzhi and said with a smile: "May I ask the commander, I don't know what crime should be committed in military law for the generals to slander the commander?" ”

Gao Xianzhi frowned, sighed secretly, and said slowly: "If you are guilty, you should be beheaded." ”

Several generals suddenly showed panic on their faces, and their eyes looked at Gao Xianzhi for help.

Gu Qing lowered his eyelids and said casually: "They are the generals of the Anxi Army, so please ask the marshal to deal with them." ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled bitterly, turned sideways and whispered, "Brother Gu Xian, can you give them a face and spare their lives?" ”

Gu Qing glanced at him and said, "When they wronged me just now, I remember that Jie Shuai didn't say a word, but now I'm going to give face?" Scold. ”

Gao Xianzhi said embarrassedly: "Killing generals in wartime is unlucky." I also hope that Brother Xian's subordinates will show mercy, after this battle, I will work with them to make amends to Brother Xian in person, how about it? ”

Gu Qing looked at the generals coldly, their faces were no longer the arrogance they had just now, their pleading eyes were fixed on themselves, their lips trembled, but they couldn't say a word.

Gu Qing said lightly: "Since the commander himself spoke, I also give the commander this face, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, the deputy envoy has been harmonious since he took office in Anxi, and has a good relationship with the generals, but after getting along for a long time, I didn't expect you to think that I am a bully, this is not right, my temper is definitely not as good as you imagined......"

"Today, I just took advantage of this incident to set up a prestige, and by the way, I would like to teach you what it means to be respectful and humble. I didn't bother to ask the names of the people who stood up to wronged me just now, so I pulled them all out, and each of them had twenty military sticks......"

Everyone in the tent gasped, and twenty military sticks ...... It's going to be fatal.

Gao Xianzhi's eyes flickered, and he was about to say something, but Gu Qing immediately cut off his thoughts and added, "...... It's up to my guards to execute the sentence, Han Jie! ”

Han Jie pressed the hilt of his sword into the account and bowed down to make a fist.

Gu Qing pointed at the generals and shouted, "Drag me out, twenty military sticks each!" ”
