Chapter 23: The Gangneung Covenant

Liang Zhen secretly thought in his heart, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, with this move, the Gao family will not be able to live for three generations. Ay....... Now you have to keep Baili Wuji, and unconsciously looked at Gao Congzhen, just as Gao Congzhen looked at him, and the two met their eyes .......

Gao Baorong was angry in his heart, this stupid thing, he didn't kill him at such a good opportunity, and now he can't do it again.

Gao Congzhi sighed in his heart, stupid, you are really a wooden pimple, who here still doesn't know that you did this? In such a well-guarded palace, the assassin can lurk and assassinate and escape, except for the king, you are the only one. If you really kill it, forget it, it's a big deal. This is good, people are injured but not dead, how to end? Once the news of the assassination came out, the Gyeongju army was combined into one ....... Gao Congzhi's heart was tight, it was better to kill him. Thinking about it again, it's not right, killing it now, everyone is watching, not only will it not help, but it will also have a bad reputation, hey, it's difficult.

Gao Congzhi opened his mouth and asked, "Everyone, how to deal with the aftermath of this matter?" ”

Gao Baorong spoke first: "The king, since this is already the case, it is better to kill him after the edict is guilty of rebellion, so as to prevent future troubles." ”

Gao Congzhen hurriedly objected: "The king can't, if the person is not dead, there is room for turning, and killing him at this time will not only be useless, but will also trap Jingnan in the flames of war." ”

Sun Guangxian said: "Gao Changshi's words are reasonable, and he seconded the proposal. ”

Liang Zhen said: "Baili Wuji's subordinates have tens of thousands of tigers in Gyeongzhou, if they are killed, Jingnan will be burned." A person who thinks that he doesn't know which is more serious, it is better for the king to wait for his injury to ease a little, and then talk to him in detail, or it can be resolved. ”

Gao Congzhi looked lonely, secretly judged, Jing Nan has worked hard since his father Gao Jixing was the second generation. However, Jingnan is in the land of a hundred battles, with few lands and poor people, and it is fortunate to be able to protect himself. Now the Gyeongju ministers are bullying, although they have not shown their counterintentions, but the expansion has been unstoppable, it does not cut down Jingnan and takes advantage of the road to cut Chu, that is, it does not want to fall into the disloyalty and unrighteousness of the people, if it kills a hundred miles of Wuji, just give people a handle, and seek their own death, and the most cheap surrounding feudal towns. It's a pity, how can his son not be like Baili Wuji...... Hey, giving birth to a son should be like a hundred miles of green.

Gao Congzhi cleared his throat and ordered: "Baili Wuji is a loyal subordinate of this king, and this king will definitely protect his life, no matter who hurts his life, this king will not forgive." When his injuries have improved slightly, the king will discuss the aftermath with him, and you do not need to discuss it again. ”

After saying that, he glanced at the crowd. His gaze swept to Gao Baorong's face like a sword, Gao Baorong was startled, quickly lowered his head, and answered with everyone.

"Yes."

Nanping Wang Gao Congzhi visited Baili Wuji several times. Order no one to come near Baili Wuji.

There was no progress in the arrest of the murderers in Gangneung Province.

In Jiangling, under the rumors, the meticulous work of all parties began to be ready to find out the news.

In the palace, Baili Wuji's injuries have improved.

A few days later, on this day, Baili Wuji's spirit was slightly better.

Gao Congxue came to visit again.

Baili Wuji made a gesture to get up and pay respects.

Gao Congzhi stepped forward and stopped: "The Hundred Miles Sutra is slightly injured, so don't be polite." ”

Baili Wuji no longer insisted, and said, "Thank you, King." ”

Gao Congyu waved his hand to let the entourage retreat.

After sitting down, the two looked at each other for a long time.

Gao Congzhi said slowly: "The Hundred Miles Scripture can know who the assassin is?" ”

Baili Wuji smiled slightly, and replied: "Back to the king, I think that this assassin should be a spy of the Chu State. ”

Gao Congzhi was startled and let out: "Oh? ”

Baili Wuji continued: "I thought that Gyeongju wanted to go south, and the Chu State spies lurking in Jiangling were lucky enough to learn that it was too late to return, so they had to send someone to assassinate them. I wonder if the king thinks so? ”

Gao Congzhi glanced at Baili Wuji deeply, and sighed secretly, there is such a city at such an age, how can my son be his opponent. So he smiled and said: "The Hundred Miles Sutra makes sense. ”

The two laughed tacitly.

Later, Gao Congzhi asked, "What are the plans of the Hundred Miles Scripture Envoy now?" ”

Baili Wuji said: "If you want to act according to the original plan, I hope that the king will do his best." ”

Gao Congzhu: "This king thinks about it, if Qingru captures Chu, Jingnan will be surrounded by Gyeongju and Chu, so that Jingnan can deal with itself." ”

This sentence has already violated the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, but at this moment, there are only two people in the house, Gao Congzhi and Baili Wuji, and the two of them are tacit. That's why I tore off the veil and asked each other clearly.

Baili Wuji smiled slightly, since you have figured it out, I don't have to hide it, and asked: "The king is wise, I don't know if the king has the heart to chase the Central Plains." ”

Gao Congzhi sighed lightly: "This king is old, and he no longer has such ambitions. ”

Baili Wuji: "In that case, why should the king ask again?" ”

Gao Congzhi was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was relieved, yes, since he just wanted to hold on to one acre and three points of land in Jingnan, why was it difficult for him again. This bit of his own foundation is not in his eyes, so why should he bother himself.

Thinking about this, Gao Congzhi felt a little relaxed in his heart, and looked at Baili Wuji with complicated eyes, at this young age, where did he come from such a deep city, compared to it, he was so old in vain.

Gao Congzhi said: "The Hundred Miles of Scripture may make an oath? ”

Baili Wuji replied: "If the king is willing, he should obey it." ”

"Come on, get a pen and paper."

……。

Jin Tianfu is the ninth day of December in the fourth year.

Gao Congzhi, the king of Nanping, made a secret alliance with Baili Wuji, the envoy of Gyeongju Jingluo.

Then.

Baili Wuji opened his mouth and said: "King, there is another matter to ask the king. ”

Gao Congzhi said: "The Hundred Miles Sutra is a little easier, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

……。

Three days later.

The Gyeongju Jinglu envoy Baili Wuji was assassinated, and the news of his unknown life and death spread throughout Gangneung Province.

By the marching army, Sima Gao led 5,000 Dingnan to surround the special warfare capital outside the city.

Ma Budu commanded Gao Baorong to lead an army of 30,000 to march west for 50 miles and launch a defensive position against Guizhou.

The special operations outside the city immediately put on a defensive position, and the two sides entered a standoff. All Baili Kangzheng was entangled, and Da Lang made it clear before leaving, without Baili Wuji's order, special operations were not allowed to act without authorization. But now that there is a sudden change, Da Lang's life and death are unknown, to fight or not to fight? After the end, Bailikang decided to follow Baili Wuji's order and not fight.

After Sun Shixu heard the news, he went out to go to the palace, but was stopped by his father Sun Guangxian and detained in Sun's mansion and not allowed to go out.

After Gao Rongrong heard the news, she asked her father Gao Cong and was grounded in the backyard. Gao Rongrong had no choice but to go on a hunger strike.

Then, Guiju and Gyeongju got the news of Baili Wuji's assassination.

Immediately, the Gyeongju Black Flag Army was intensively mobilized, headed by Yun Yang, Yu Cunzhong, and Bai Liyi, and the 54,000 Black Flag Army under the jurisdiction of 12 compartments moved to Guizhou. The 13,000 Black Flag Army, which had just been reorganized from the reserves, advanced fifty miles to the west and made a defensive posture towards Shu.
