Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Wronged Long Shouyi
"What's the situation out there? What did the two young masters say? In the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry garrison in the east of the city, Long Shouyi anxiously asked the subordinates sent to the Zhao Mansion.
"General...... They don't believe it, and they insist that you are the murderer of Gu Tong. The man replied, on his knees.
"Bastard! How can it be! Long Shouyi slapped the table angrily, although he and Gu Tong have gaps on weekdays, but this is a private matter, one yard is one yard, how can he declare a personal vendetta in this situation?
"There must be a mistake, did you explain it to them?" Long Shouyi asked again.
"General, the little one explained it to them, but they just don't believe it!" The man explained, and then he slammed his head to the ground.
"General, that's all we can do now." The subordinate advised.
Gu Tong, like Long Shouyi, is also a product left over from the Zhao Xiyuan era, except that Long Shouyi is the general of the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry, and Gu Tong is the captain of the personal guard responsible for guarding the Zhao Mansion.
Gu Tong and Long Shouyi surrendered to Zhao Xiyuan's command together, originally thinking of laying a good foundation with Zhao Xiyuan, but they didn't expect Zhao Xiyuan's sudden death to completely disrupt all this. And Gu Tong, like Long Shouyi, did not immediately swear allegiance to the two heirs in Zhongzhou City, but has been guarding the Zhao Mansion dutifully. His original intention was very simple, whoever became the new master of the Zhao Mansion would be loyal to whomever he wanted.
This was not a problem in the first place, not to mention that Gu Tong had been conscientiously guarding the safety of the Zhao Mansion, and there was nothing wrong with it, but it was possible that because of this, it became the ultimate reason for his death.
Whether it is Zhao Yu or Zhao Yang, they all want to get a Gu Tong who is loyal to them, not a Gu Tong who may be loyal to each other in the future.
It's just that they didn't know that Gu Tong had refused to help Zhao Yang poison Zhao Yu, and also rejected Zhao Yu's suggestion to "let Zhao Yang's cousin go out alone and relax".
"Hmph, since you are unkind to me, don't care if I don't keep this righteousness or not, just use the plan we arranged before!" A hint of gloom flashed on Long Shouyi's face, and he knew that he must have been framed.
Whether it was Zhao Yu or Zhao Yang, Long Shouyi knew that it must be these two people who did it.
Although he and Gu Tong often had friction during Zhao Xiyuan's era, it was because they didn't want Zhao Xiyuan to think that his generals were in league with each other, which was also a way to protect themselves. is also because it is for the benefit of his subordinates, but in fact, the relationship between the two is only scolding each other on the surface, so that everyone thinks that these two people are destined to be wrong. But behind the scenes, the two have a good personal relationship.
With Long Shouyi's order, stationed in the east of the city, the 20,000 Chinese troops of the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry quickly put on neat equipment, accompanied by the whistling sound of war horses, the 20,000 Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry broke through the camp in the east of the city under the leadership of Long Shouyi, and rushed directly into the Zhongzhou City, surrounding the Zhao Mansion located in the east of the city.
This is also the reason why Zhao Fu found that the situation in the city was not quite right as soon as he sneaked into Zhongzhou City.
Long Shouyi sat on a war horse, wearing the special armor of the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry, looking at the Zhao Mansion surrounded by his subordinates, and looked very anxious in his heart.
He had already led people to rush and kill several times, but the unique design of the Zhao Mansion as a city within a city meant that as long as the Zhao Mansion closed a few important entrances, it was a small city in Zhongzhou City that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Long Shouyi is actually very clear about the structure of the Zhao Mansion, but no matter how strong the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry is, it will not be able to break through the Zhao Mansion in a short time.
"Brothers guarding the Zhao Mansion, the person who killed Gu Tong is either General Ben, or the two young masters behind you, General Ben already has conclusive evidence, please don't stop it!" Long Shouyi saw that the strong attack could not work, so he had to stand outside and shout.
"Don't believe the rumors of the rebels, it was General Nalong who wanted to assassinate the two young masters, and after being found out and stopped by General Gu Tong, he was angry and sent someone to assassinate him." The henchman who followed Zhao Yang before was in Zhao Mansion at the moment, and when he saw Long Shouyi start shouting, he hurriedly went back.
Long Shouyi and his Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry have been defined as rebels.
"It's nonsense, although General Ben and Gu Tong have different political views, their personal relationship has always been good, and I also sent someone to send a pair of golden locks to his child's full moon last month!" Long Shouyi retorted.
"So what, you vainly tried to assassinate the two young masters and plot against the Zhao family's property, how can a thief like you be able to clear himself with a sentence of 'good personal relationship'!" In Zhao's mansion, Zhao Yang's henchmen responded to the rebuttal.
"I***, don't you know how General Ben behaves, even if you have a grudge against Gu Tong, you definitely won't do it like this!"
"But you intend to assassinate the two young masters!"
"****, when have I ever done such a thing!"
"But you intend to assassinate the two young masters!"
“&^%#$%……”
"But you intend to assassinate the two young masters!"
After a while, it evolved from the initial hope of gaining the wall speech of the soldiers guarding the Zhao Mansion to a complete curse against the people inside the wall.
For Long Shouyi, this is indeed a crime that wants to be added, and there is no excuse.
"General." Just after scolding for a while, one of his subordinates leaned into Long Shouyi's ear and whispered, "The two generals, Feng and Mo, are on their way back through the night. ”
"We're running out of time." The subordinate said.
Long Shouyi nodded, he understood that once the other two generals of the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry brought the army back, then he would be convicted of the crime of "rebellion" that was crowned, so all he could do was to attack the Zhao Mansion as soon as possible and take the two young masters in his own hands, so that he would have the capital to negotiate and live.
Long Shouyi smiled bitterly, thinking that he was the commander of the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry and the Chinese Army, and there were 20,000 Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry under his command, but now he was almost convicted of rebellion, and even his own life was not guaranteed at any time.
Greedy, regret not at the beginning.
Long Shouyi understood that it was his behavior of waiting for the price to sell that led to his current predicament, if it weren't for the fact that he had been greedy for more benefits, it would not have caused the two heirs to be patient with their continuous improvement and decreasing treatment.
Seeing that the guards in the Zhao Mansion were all stunned, they would rather believe that it was Gu Tong who was killed by Long Shouyi, rather than suspect their two young masters.
Although he later decided to take refuge in Zhao Qian, it is a pity that Zhao Qian is now trapped in Mustard City, and he can't save the fire from far water.
Long Shouyi knew that it was impossible for him to take the Zhao Mansion before the two generals returned by conventional means, so he had already asked his subordinates to secretly prepare a large amount of fire oil around the Zhao Mansion.
