After all, Cheng Wuting is accustomed to life and death on the battlefield for a long time, and after being caught off guard for a moment, he immediately regained his composure and said: "Real people don't have to laugh, how can there be a powerful ghost in this blue sky and white day?" ”

"The general can not believe it." Xue Shao slowly twisted the three-inch fake beard under his chin, and said leisurely: "These powerful ghosts are also sure that they won't be able to hurt the general's life for a while." ”

"Oh?" Cheng Wuting showed a hint of suspicion on his face, smiled slightly and said, "How can you see it?" ”

"People are afraid of ghosts and ghosts, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points. The general's luck is booming, like the sky. Xue Shao said, "Those powerful ghosts can't get close to you for the time being, and they can't hurt you even more." ”

"For the time being?" Cheng Wuting laughed lightly, "Is there something in real words? ”

Xue Shao smiled but said nothing.

"Ask a real person to talk to another room."

"Okay."

Cheng Wuting brought Xue Shao and the others into a secret room, so that no idle people were allowed to approach, and Guo An guarded the door.

The two sat down, and Cheng Wu looked at Xue Shao with interest, as if smiling.

Xue Shao didn't want to hide it from him all the time, so he simply tore off his beard, and it hurt so much that he was really grinning.

"It's kind of like that." Cheng Wuting smiled, "If it weren't for the bloody killing aura on the two of you, I would hardly have any doubts." ”

"I know I can't hide it from you. It's just to hide people's eyes and ears and hide it from others. Xue Shao smiled and said, "Don't come to harm, the evil general?" ”

"Not only is it sick, it's still a big problem." Cheng Wuting was still very ugly, looked at Xue Shao intently, and said, "I expected you to come to me, but I didn't expect it to be in such a way." It seems that the shape shì is getting more and more nervous now. ”

"You are in Chang'an, you should know better than me what kind of situation it is now." Xue Shao said, "The Empress Dowager and Pei Yan want to depose the emperor, and it is impossible to hide it from you, the general who commands the Imperial Forest Army. ”

"Yes...... Cheng Wuting lowered his head with frowns, "Now, Cheng has been put on the iron plate to roast." I don't know what to do! ”

Xue Shao nodded, "I understand your feelings. ”

"Hey!" Cheng Wuting sighed heavily, "The first emperor entrusted me with his deathbed and asked me to lead the Imperial Forest Army to protect the new monarch." But now that the Queen Mother wants to depose the new monarch, who should I listen to? ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "From a conscience point of view, you should listen to the first emperor; From reality, you should listen to the Queen Mother. ”

"So, Cheng is in a dilemma!" Cheng Wuting sighed heavily, "In recent years, the older generation of generals of the Tang Dynasty have passed away one after another, Li Tao, Pei Gong, Li Jinxing, and now Xue Rengui is gone. Now, there are barely Wang Fangyi and the two of us left in the Tang military circle. Wang Fangyi quelled the Turkic rebellion of the ten surnames in the Western Regions, and stayed in the Western Regions to serve as the protector of Anxi, and he was beyond the reach of the whip in the affairs of the court - now that this is a major matter of deposing the emperor, how the army should express its position has to be figured out by the two of us. So, even if you don't come to me, I'll find a way to find you. ”

Xue Shao smiled, "General Evil, you may be too worried." ”

Cheng Wuting was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

Xue Shao said: "Your good in-law Pei Xianggong doesn't think like this. ”

Cheng Wuting was slightly surprised, "You made it clear?" ”

"Recently, a group of people have become entangled and impeached me against Yutaitai. You don't know about this? Xue Shao asked rhetorically.

Cheng Wuting shook his head blankly, "I can't leave the door to thank customers for half a month—there is still such a thing?" You've investigated it clearly, it must have been Pei Xianggong's doing? ”

"If not, would I be guilty of pretending to be like this to see you?" Xue Shao's eyes showed a slight gleam.

Although Cheng Wuting is a martial artist, it doesn't mean that he is stupid. Especially after Bei Ya has been an official for so long, he is already extremely sensitive to politics. Hearing Xue Shao say this, he was shocked in his heart - could it be that Xue Shao was going to turn his face with Pei Yan and fight a decisive battle?!

"I'm sure you've guessed what I'm here for." Xue Shao straightened his face, "We are all soldiers, there is no need to detour." I have something to say to you. ”

Cheng Wuting took a deep breath, sat up straight, and said, "Young marshal, please speak!" ”

"I know that you and Pei Yan are in-laws, and you can be transferred from the border pass to the capital to become the first general of the Imperial Forest Army, and Pei Yan is also indispensable. It can be said that Pei Yan is the noble person in your life, and he is also your biggest reliance on the court. Xue Shao said calmly, "What I said, is it right or not?" ”

"Yes." Cheng Wuting admitted very simply.

"There is a way that it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree." Xue Shao smiled coldly, "But if one day, this big tree is about to fall, it can also crush people!" ”

Cheng Wuting's expression changed suddenly, and his eyes widened in shock, "Young marshal, don't mess around!" Regardless of right or wrong and grievances, Pei Yan is the minister and prime minister of the Tang Dynasty after all. If you raise an army to attack Pei Yan in the name of the Qing monarch, you will inevitably be unjustifiable, and the nameless army will inevitably be defeated - at that time, Cheng will be your first opponent! ”

"Haha!" Xue Shao laughed, laughing and waving his hand, "General Evil, you really want to be crooked-if I want to raise troops, will I come to see you first to expose my motives?" ”

“…… Reasonable! Cheng Wuting suddenly came back to his senses, and then he calmed down a little and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"You're not right." Xue Shao furrowed his brows, "It's not what I'm going to do." Rather, after deposing the emperor, what would Pei Yan want to do? ”

"Huh?" Cheng Wuting was slightly stunned and didn't turn the corner for a while.

Xue Shao said: "The abolition of the emperor is certainly an earth-shattering event. But in my opinion, the situation that will be faced after the abolition of the establishment is the real crisis - General Evil, have you ever thought about it? ”

"I really haven't thought about this!" Cheng Wuting was a little stunned, and then fell into deep thought......

Xue Shao waited for him to think for a moment, and induced his thinking on the side, "After Pei Yan abolishes the emperor, he will have a great merit in supporting him." He was already the prime minister of the minister, and his status could not be raised again. Then, he can only reach out and grab more power. But in whose hands is this power? ”

Cheng Wuting's eyes widened in surprise, with a hint of horror on his face, and he lowered his voice and said, "You mean to say that once the emperor is abolished, the Queen Mother will fight Pei Yan to the death?" ”

"That's right." Xue Shao said calmly, "This is absolutely inevitable. ”

"......" Cheng Wuting was silent.

To be able to sit in today's position, everyone is not stupid. Cheng Wuting knew very well in his heart that what Xue Shao said was very reasonable.

"You take a look at Pei Yan's current behavior in turn." Xue Shao said, "He entangled a large number of people to impeach me at the same time, and used a mess of 16 crimes, but none of them really stood up, and none of them could really kill me." The purpose of his doing this is to make me unable to interfere in the deposition of the emperor! ”

After listening to these words, Cheng Wuting finally realized! - If Pei Yan wants to depose the emperor, he must rely on the support of the army. He knew that Xue Shao couldn't support him, so he stumped Xue Shao and used me, my "in-laws"!

Once it is done, Pei Yan will be the first hero to support meritorious service. I would have been subservient to him, and would not pose any threat to his position. But once Pei Yan and the Queen Mother start a war after the emperor is abolished, then I will inevitably be implicated!

In addition, now Pei Yan has offended Xue Shao so hard and done things so desperately, but he can't really kill Xue Shao completely. Afterwards, Xue Shao and the Queen Mother must have joined forces to deal with Pei Yan together...... Pei Yan is certainly strong, but he is not as strong as the Queen Mother after all. The Imperial Forest Army under my command is certainly noble and important, but when it comes to conquest and war, where will it be the opponent of the elite of a hundred battles, the Shuofang Army?

The strength and weakness are clear at a glance!!

Thinking of this, Cheng Wuting, who had never known what fear was when he galloped on the battlefield, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back!!

He stood up suddenly!

Shocking, looking at Xue Shao!

"General Evil, you have to do it yourself." Xue Shao stared at Cheng Wuting and said, "I'm not here today to rebel against you, let alone to enlist your help. For the sake of fellow Pei Gong's protégé, I would like to advise you. When disaster comes, you have to make arrangements early! ”

After speaking, Xue Shao got up and was about to leave.

Cheng Wuting pounced on Xue Shao with a tiger, almost trying his best to hold Xue Shao back.

"Don't go - save me!!"

Xue Shao turned his head to look at him, the evil man who was killing people in the Megatron Realm was full of panic and helplessness at this moment!

The danger of politics is far more terrifying than the rain of arrows on the battlefield!

"I can't help you." Xue Shao looked at him with furrowed eyebrows and said, "From the moment your son married Pei Yan's daughter, your fate seems to have been sealed. ”

"How's that to be?" Cheng Wuting opened his mouth wide and was stunned.

Xue Shao looked at him with a solemn expression, "If I were you, I would definitely find a way to avoid this whirlpool in front of me." If you don't participate in the deposition of the emperor, you may be able to turn things around. ”

"Is it possible?" Cheng Wuting seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw as if he had fallen into the water, and hurriedly asked, "If the Queen Mother and Pei Yan want to depose the emperor, they must have the support of the Imperial Forest Army." The emperor desperately wants to save the emperor's life, and he also urgently needs the support of the Imperial Forest Army. Now, the Queen Mother and Pei Yan, including His Majesty the Emperor, are desperately trying to win over me. I was caught between the three of them and was extremely embarrassed, so I deliberately ate some poison that was not too lethal, and suddenly fainted when I was in the court. In this way, only then can the illness not be asked. But I know that I can't hide like this. None of them will let me go - how do I get out of it? ”

Xue Shao smiled and said nothing, looking at Cheng Wuting fixedly.

Cheng Wuting saw his expression and knew that he must have an idea in his heart, so he hurriedly stood up straight and bowed to him very formally, "Please also ask the young marshal to teach me!" ”

"The evil general doesn't have to be like this." Xue Shao smiled slightly, pulled him to sit down, and said, "I just came back from the battle in Hebei, and I know the situation there very well. Xue Rengui suddenly died of no illness, and his son Xue Ne temporarily took over the army he left behind. But Xue Ne is still very young after all, and his qualifications and prestige are not enough. In the Hebei frontier, a general is urgently needed to preside over the overall situation, and the evil general might as well ask the imperial court to go to the town. If you didn't participate in the deposition of the Emperor and no longer command the Imperial Guards, then your foundation is much cleaner. In the future, even if the Queen Mother and Pei Yan really go to war, you still have the possibility of remaining neutral! ”

"It's just possible...... Cheng Wuting sighed, his brows furrowed, "In all fairness, neither the first emperor nor the new monarch treated me badly, and the queen mother and Pei Yan were even more kind to me." I can't bear to turn my back on any of these people! ”

Xue Shao condensed and said: "But Zheng zhì is so cruel, when it is your turn to make a choice, you must make a wise choice." It's unrealistic to want to live at both ends of the world—I wanted to do this when I was caught between the two saints. As a result, I almost tortured myself to death, and I didn't really do it. Therefore, it is really wise to take a clear position and stand on the right side and no longer hesitate! ”

Cheng Wuting's face was tense and his expression was ugly, and he fell into a long silence.

Xue Shao thought for a while, and said: "General Evil, we are the ones who lead the troops, and the army is the blade of the country, not a private murder weapon. We can't be like those court officials, who blow the wind and turn everyone to please everyone. We can only have one choice, one position. That is, whoever can better lead us to protect the territory and the people and fulfill the duties of soldiers, and who can help us realize our military ideals and safeguard the interests of our army - we will follow whom! ”

In a word, the way is heavenly!

Cheng Wuting's mood suddenly brightened - in recent years, Pei Yan has been full of tricks in the military, and the legacy is endless. No matter how correct the Queen Mother is, at least he is not as confused as Pei Yan, so jealous and jealous of public affairs to ruin the country's military affairs!

"But......" Cheng Wuting looked sad, "how can I bear to betray him?" ”

"The military was born to protect the country and the people, not to serve anyone's ambitions. As generals, we should be loyal to the kingdom and to our duty, not to someone who has been kind to us. Xue Shao said, "The choice you make now will surely become a historical choice." This is your honor and your responsibility! Therefore, you have no escapability, you must choose! ”

"I understand......," Cheng Wu exhaled a long time.

"Personally, I hope you can stay away from these battles in Chang'an and go where you should go the most." Xue Shao said, "Xue Rengui went, and Hebei's country became weak. I'm in Toyosu, and I'm going to be alone. If there is an evil general who responds to me from afar in Hebei, why fear the Turks? ”

Cheng Wu gritted his teeth fiercely, and a heroic look appeared on his face that Xue Shao was once familiar with—his ambition was activated again!

"The young marshal is right!" Cheng Wuting stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice: "We are generals, we should go to the frontier to kill the enemy and serve the country, we should not fight in the nest for the ambitions of others!" - It's really a word to wake up the dreamer, I no longer hesitate and no longer hesitate! I'll go to the imperial court tomorrow to ask for my life and go to Hebei! ”

Xue Shao smiled and nodded, "But, what if the imperial court doesn't allow it?" ”

"Then Cheng will resign and quit!" Cheng Wuting waved his hand suddenly, "This bird official is doing such an unlucky job, it is better to take his mother-in-law back to his hometown to sit and eat and wait for death!" ”

Xue Shao smiled and nodded, "If I were you, I would have done this a long time ago." ”

"Oh?" Cheng Wuting's expression was a little surprised.

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "You are a tiger who came down the mountain, but you were chained as a pastoral dog guarding the courtyard." Don't you think that Chang'an doesn't belong to you, and the Imperial Forest Army is not suitable for you at all? - After all, the cold moon border pass with the yellow sand rolling fierce horse spear is where you can come in! ”

Cheng Wu took a long breath, and finally smiled.

"The robe is the robe! - Those who know me, the young marshal also! ”
