After saying a few words, the eldest and my second Liaodong soldier were red-faced.

Oh, yes! Jinyiwei is known as the worst of all the guards, but we can't even beat Jinyiwei, so what do we say to protect the family and defend the country?

The inventory of the results of the battle has already come out, and there are seventy-three people left in Jinyiwei, but the Liaodong Army has been wiped out. Such a result is unacceptable to the arrogant Liaodong man no matter what.

The rest of them in Liaodong are naturally not people who are afraid of hardship, and their years of military career have cultivated their temperament of being above the top, so that some people will go to the General Military Mansion to make trouble.

Now, Jin Yiwei slapped everyone with a loud slap that made everyone unable to raise their heads, including the Liaodong General Soldier Gu Qian.

"You reflect on yourself, and if you sign up tomorrow, sign up on your own." After a long time, Mu Qian, who came back to his senses in the noise of the soldiers, brushed his sleeves away, leaving a group of Quang Ninh guards who hesitated whether to sign up or not.

In despair, he returned to his study in the General Soldier's Mansion, and a small hole appeared on the calligraphy and painting on the front wall of the study.

After getting into the small hole, the hole closes itself. Sitting on a chair in the dark room, Mu Qian involuntarily reached for the letter with the word top secret written on the envelope.

The letter was sent from Shuntianfu through secret channels, but the content of the letter made him dare not read more.

The person who wrote the letter was not something he could afford to offend as a Liaodong general soldier, but now the young man who was less than twenty years old in the Hakka General Military Mansion had the word Qincha on his head, and he could not afford to offend either.

"Wu Guang, what should I do." Gu Qian seemed to be talking to himself, but a voice in the darkness answered him: "Neutrality is definitely not possible, adults can only choose a side." ”

"Pick a side? To put it lightly! Choose the milky kid who hasn't dried up and the East Palace who doesn't know if he can be the emperor in the future? I, the general soldier of Liaodong, am afraid that I will be disarmed and returned to the field immediately. Even if it is my family in the capital, I am afraid that I will be poisoned. chose the adult in Beijing who had been dormant for decades, and Xu Ning's previous experience. How do you tell the official to choose! He was caught in a dilemma.

Wu Guang, who was adopted by him since he was a child, but never appeared in public, was responsible for doing some dishonorable things for Wu Qian.

He stayed in this secret room all the year round, and his only task when he had nothing to do was to keep a room full of secret letters.

As the person most trusted by Gu Qian, he is not only good at martial arts, but also has a very bright head. Now that the godfather is in a dilemma, he has to explain: "But there is always a choice to make." The one in the capital has been urging urgently recently, that is, he wants the general soldiers of the nine sides to express his position, and the other generals are also embarrassed. ”

Gu Qian smiled bitterly: "But they don't have a mysterious King Zhang Yan there!" ”

Wu Guang has always hidden his body in the dark, and he himself does not like places with bright light.

Hearing Gu Qian say this, he couldn't help but take two steps forward, his feet had already appeared in the light, and he took two steps back and said: "He is very powerful, but godfather, the lesser of two powers, now it is time for godfather to make a decision." ”

"On the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, there are six generals Feng, this Zhang Ru does not go to Xuanfu Zhenshuo General's Mansion, does not go to Yansui's Zhenxi General's Mansion, but the first stop is Datong, the former general's mansion and my Liaodong, the former general's mansion. It's just that I think it's easy to recruit people from two war-torn places, and if I rashly follow the one in the capital, I'm afraid that it will attract the revenge of King Zhang Yan! "Wu Qian is not without worry.

Among the border troops of the Ming Dynasty, there are only six towns with the title of general, and among these six towns, Xuanfu, who belongs to the Wanquan Command Envoy, and Yansui, who is fierce in the people's style, take the town as the head. The town character is higher than the word Zhengzi and the word Ping.

"Why didn't Godfather ask Mr. Hou?" Wu Guang whispered.

Gu Qian said very vigilantly: "What you and my father and son say today must not be preached. Even Mr. Hou can't tell him, this is a major matter related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of border troops and old men in Liaodong. ”

Wu Guang nodded vigorously, although he knew that Wu Qian had his back to him, and it was impossible to see his movements.

"This matter is not something that outsiders can know, once it spreads, it doesn't matter if the old man dies and has no place to be buried, it will affect the family, what kind of face does the old man have to go to see the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs." Gu Qian has his own considerations, some things can be mixed in by Hou Yi, and some things, he will definitely not let Hou Yi, a staff member of the General Military Mansion, get involved.

Wu Guang sighed: "Godfather, the situation is not very clear now. If the godfather can't make a choice, it is better to sell it to the one surnamed Zhang first, as for the capital, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, they may not know what the godfather did in Liaodong. ”

"You also read the secret letter, but I don't want to see Zhang Ru go back." Gu Qian was very worried.

The request of the person on the secret letter was that Zhang Ru must die, and once Zhang Ru returned to Beijing, he was afraid that those people in the capital would pour out their anger on him, which was what really made it difficult for Wu Qian to choose.

Wu Guang thought for a while and said, "One word, drag!" ”

"What's the explanation?" Mu Qian raised his eyebrows, sat up straight, and turned his head slightly.

Wu Guang explained: "The big man in the capital wants the death of the surname Zhang, and the godfather doesn't know whether to kill the surname Zhang, so he can only delay." As for the reason, you can think of any one. The masters surnamed Zhang are like clouds, and those Jinyi guards don't know how to train, and they are three points more powerful than the elite soldiers of the border army. This reason alone is enough for the godfather to get out.

As for who is in the world at that time, that is not a question that we little people need to consider.

The crown prince successfully ascended the throne, and once the surnamed Zhang noticed the conspiracy, he would naturally say a few kind words in front of the prince, and keep the general army of Liaodong, which could be regarded as increasing his own strength.

If that person usurped the throne, he would definitely have to be liquidated, and the godfather could go before he was liquidated, and the godfather had a lot of money in deposit over the years, and there were also many die-hard people under his command. Under the condition of being able to ensure the safety of the godfather, it is also a good choice to go back and be a rich man. ”

After explaining and analyzing, Gu Qian suddenly became enlightened, and he slapped the table suddenly: "That's it!" ”

As soon as he made his decision, Wu Guang's figure disappeared into the darkness.

Gu Qian lay comfortably on the chair in the secret room of the study, and fell into a deep sleep.

In the courtyard of the General Soldier's Mansion, Zhang Ru hit the big tree hugged by the three of them with his bare upper body, the trunk shook slightly under his blow, and many small branches were inserted in the snow on the ground.

The joints of his fists were red and swollen, and the bark had faded from the two shallow pits where he had punched.

"Whoosh!"

In the darkness, an unknown object flew towards his face, and the sound of breaking the air made Zhang Ru react immediately.

I saw that his feet were straining, his body sank suddenly, his feet fell into the snow, and the UFO crossed his position and flew towards the courtyard wall behind him.

A huge black shadow flew down from the roof, and after nimbly somersaulting in the air, it slowly walked towards Zhang Ru.

The black shadow is Fan Tong who personally protects Zhang Ru, although Zhang Ru's skills do not need to be protected by others, but just in case, Fan Wuyi still ordered Fan Tong to protect him closely.

Walking in front of Zhang Ru, Fan Tong spread out his big fan-like hand and handed him a small paper ball wrapped in a stone.

Zhang Ru picked up the note and looked at it carefully through the moonlight reflected in the snow.

There is only one line on the paper: Someone in Beijing wants to take your life, return to Beijing as soon as possible.

There was no payment, the handwriting was sloppy, and it was completely impossible to distinguish who the person who sent the letter was.

Zhang Ru's five fingers clenched, and after a while of kneading, the paper ball turned into powder.

"Fan Tong, follow me to meet Lord Commander-in-Chief." After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Ru breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fan Tong said: "It's so late, I'm just afraid that the chief soldier will rest!" ”

Zhang Ru said coldly: "If you don't want to follow me, I'll talk to Fan Lao, you go to Guangningwei to be the boss." If you want to follow me, learn more from Jiang Wei. ”

Fan Tong stopped talking, although he really wanted to beat Zhang Ru up.

The bedroom of the chief soldier's mansion was dark, and the soldiers who were strictly ordered by Zhang Ru to report shouted several words at the door but no one responded, and was about to go out to talk back to Zhang Ru, but he saw Gu Qian walking towards the bedroom from the direction of the study.

Although he was old, he had not yet reached the point of being dizzy, and after seeing the soldier, he raised his voice and asked, "What is the matter at night?" ”

The soldiers bowed their heads and saluted: "General, the commander said that there is something important to discuss." ”

"Please!" Gu Qian said lightly.

Wu Guang came back, so he woke up, but he didn't expect that Zhang Ru would be so eager to find him.

When the two met, Zhang Ru was taken to the guest room, and after the tea was served, he stopped talking, staring at the teacup in a daze.

"If someone were to kill me, what was the General going to do?" After being silent for a while, Zhang Ru took the lead in breaking the silence.

Gu Qian raised his eyelids: "The commander laughed, who else dares to fight the idea of the commander in this territory of Liaodong." ”

Zhang Ru smiled: "There are not many people in Liaodong who dare to fight my idea, but there is one in front of me." ”

Gu Qian's face changed slightly, and he moved his buttocks: "What does the governor mean, do you think that the old man is going to be unfavorable to you?" It's not that the old man is boasting, if he really wants to take your life, the old man in Liaodong will do it as soon as you come, why bother with you so far. ”

Zhang Ru took a sip of the teacup: "What the general said is true, but well, it may not be the general who wants my life, but the general has to be the executor." If that's the case, everything can be explained. ”

Gu Qian was furious: "What does the Governor mean, do you really think that Gu Qian is going to do the act of killing people and overselling goods!" If the commander is dissatisfied with Wu Qian, he can be impeached in this book, and there is no need to accuse Sang and scold Huai. ”

The words are not speculative, Zhang Ru is too lazy to talk nonsense, he stood up and said while walking outside: "Is it referring to Sang scolding Huai, you and I know it." I don't ask who in the capital wants me to die, but I advise you, it's best not to act rashly, otherwise, the first to die is only your wife and children in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”
