Chapter 105: Temptation
Yao Dahong's brothers were discussing how to continue to calculate Ning Zezhong, and Huang Xu encountered more and more troubles in the military camp.
After the battle with Fang Hu, Huang Xu felt that Zhao Xiaofeng, Fang Hu's relationship with himself and inadvertently estranged a lot, Fang Hu needless to say, that he didn't have much to do with himself, and Zhao Xiaofeng, who had been quite enthusiastic about himself on the surface, seemed to have undergone some changes in his attitude, although he still cared about himself on the surface, and as usual, he would make some harmless jokes with himself from time to time, but Huang Xu knew that behind these jokes, his defensive and taboo about himself was increasing day by day.
Bao Ping'an is another person who has changed his attitude towards himself, Huang Xu thought about it carefully, and felt that he didn't seem to offend him much, I don't know what caused him to have such a change, Huang Xu himself was puzzled.
The performance of these people seems to confirm one thing, that is, their strong performance has touched the sensitive nerves of some people, making them nervous and uneasy, and as long as this feeling exists for a day, then these people's attitude towards themselves will not change. In this case, for such a group of people, Huang Xu feels that there is no need to do anything special to reverse their impression of themselves, as long as they do their duty, patiently wait for the opportunity, as long as they can do something that makes them feel very real at the right time, then their confidence in themselves will naturally come back.
Although others were guarding against him, Huang Xu had to convince these people that he had no second heart for the East King. The reason why he did this was because, in the short term, as long as the East King had not fallen, he had to have a good relationship with them and continue to cooperate, at least let them calculate themselves behind their backs during this difficult period, then this would be a great favor for him.
Putting down this worry, Huang Xu plans to go to Guo Potian today to have a good chat.
After confirming the attitude of keeping safe. Huang Xu felt that there was no need to waste time and energy on doing anything to keep Ping'an. Because, everything has been clear, Bao Ping An has made a choice, and he will eventually go to the opposite side of Huang Xu. So. At this stage. With him, Huang Xu only needs to maintain a normal relationship, and there is no need to do anything further.
But Guo Potian is different. Guo Potian is still an object that can be fought for, as long as he does not fall to the East King for a day, Huang Xu will do his best to let him return to the side of the Heavenly King. After this period of contact with Guo Potian, Huang Xu knew that it would be difficult to pull him to the side of the Heavenly King, and the reason why he said this was because Huang Xu had only now discovered that this guy was also a realist, and he also valued real interests.
In fact, this Guo Potian's impression of Huang Xu was quite good, bold, atmospheric, he spoke and did things in a straight heart, and he would not beat around the bush, which matched his nickname of Guo Cannon, but somehow, with the further development of things and the deepening of his contact, Huang Xu found that this guy sometimes had a lot of fancy intestines, however, Huang Xu was not sure, these were his own ideas, or was it taught to him by Lu Qingtian, Huang Xu has always believed or preferred to believe that Guo Potian's personality is very upright, And those more special ideas should mostly come from Lu Qingtian's brain.
In any case, the relationship with Guo Potian must continue.
Huang Xu has come to Guo Potian for the third day, and two days ago, he was told that Guo Potian had something to go out and was not in the camp, and asked him to come back another day, and he said that he wanted to find Lu Qingtian, and the answer he got was the same. For two days, he returned empty-handed.
He vaguely guessed that this Guo Potian might be avoiding him, Huang Xu couldn't figure it out, what was this Guo Potian avoiding him for, he didn't offend him, nor did he make it difficult for him to do anything, he couldn't figure it out, this Guo Potian avoided him. Is it because he is a close minister of the king of the east, this is impossible, he already knew his identity, if he didn't associate with himself for this matter, then he should have dissociated himself from himself at the beginning, and there was no need to draw a line with himself now and re-assert his position.
Moreover, if he draws a clear position with himself, isn't that equivalent to drawing a clear position with the East King? Before the situation is clear, what good will it do him if he does this, it will only make people think that he has already stood in line, if so, he is very unwise, will Guo Potian do such a stupid thing, obviously not, this kind of simple truth, everyone understands, Guo Potian should understand it even more. Since this is not and that is not, what should be the reason for this?
Instead of guessing on the side, it is better to figure things out in person, so this is the reason why Weishenme Huang Xu wants to look at Zuoying.
When Huang Xu said that he wanted to see General Guo on the third day, the guards at the gate of the camp finally told him that General Guo had returned.
Huang Xu let out a sigh of relief and thought, finally stopped hiding?
In Zuoying, Guo Potian's big tent, Huang Xu finally met Guo and Lu after a long absence.
"Big brother, second brother, it's really hard to see you." After Huang Xu sat down, he hugged his fists and smiled at the two.
"I'm sorry, brother, the eldest brother and your second brother Lu have been out on business for the past two days, so I am not in the camp, and I am really embarrassed to cause you to run twice in vain." Guo Potian said slightly apologetically.
"It's okay, in fact, I don't have anything urgent, but I miss the eldest brother and the second brother a little, so come and take a look, if you disturb the two brothers, please bear with me." Huang Xu said.
"Where, can Brother Huang come today, our Zuoying is full of brilliance, how can we say anything to disturb or not to disturb, brother came at the right time today, it just so happens that the eldest brother and I are also here, then, we will have a drink with Brother Huang, and we will rest when we get drunk." It was Lu Qingtian who spoke.
"Yes, if you don't get drunk, you won't go home." After hearing this, Huang Xu also agreed.
"In that case, what are we waiting for, wine." Guo Potian looked impatient.
After a while, the wine and food were served.
After a few glasses of wine, this conversation also increased.
"Brother, I've heard it. You're very close to General Bao in the right barracks, aren't you? Guo Potian asked seemingly unintentionally.
"No, it's not too close, it's just an ordinary friend, usually most of the time, it's just a drink together, chatting, and talking nonsense, and I didn't talk about any substance, so. It's a little bit closer. But there is no such thing as a deep friendship. Huang Xu didn't know what Guo Potian meant by this, so he said perfunctorily.
"You have to keep an eye out for this man, I heard that he has a complicated relationship with the king of the east. And you are a person that Dongwang trusts very much. If something happens between you in private. It would be bad to make Dongwang feel abnormal, so. I'm giving you a reminder that if you're just a general acquaintance, it doesn't matter. Guo Potian said.
"Yes, yes, the eldest brother reminded me very right, I will pay attention." Huang Xu couldn't guess that Guo Potian weishenme had this.
"Then you tell me, how is General Bao, don't get me wrong, this is just a private conversation between our brothers behind closed doors, and it won't be passed out, just tell me how you feel." Guo Potian said.
"Second Brother Lu used to be General Bao's general, he should know General Bao better than me, why don't you ask Second Brother to introduce us to him." Huang Xu deliberately pulled the words onto Lu Qingtian.
"Don't mention your second brother, your second brother is a person who is more nostalgic, just because he used to be General Bao's general, and General Bao was quite important to him at the beginning, so you want him to evaluate General Bao, whom he once respected, your second brother can't do it, even if he evaluates against his will, it must be insincere, so if you throw this problem to him, he can't answer you." Without waiting for Lu Qingtian to answer, Guo Potian had already said to himself.
"I remember when we first met, it was also here, and we said some things about General Bao, and I agree with those words." Since Guo Potian said that Lu Qingtian was not easy to say, Huang Xu would take out what he had said and see what he said.
"Did your second brother say anything?" Guo Potian pretended not to know.
"Big brother, it's possible, I remember that I drank too much that day, so it's possible that I told Brother Huang some nonsense, but I didn't expect Brother Huang to listen to it. That's a wine talk, and it should be uncountable. Lu Qingtian responded.
Nonsense, you can say it, you obviously said it to me on purpose, and said it was nonsense, if it was nonsense, then there should be no more sober nonsense than those, don t think I don't know, Huang Xu thought to himself.
"Do you really want to talk about it?" Huang Xu said.
"Talk about it, just talk about it as a casual conversation between brothers, just tell me your own opinion." Guo Potian said.
"General Bao is an out-and-out true general, loyal and patriotic, and it is a very lucky thing that there is such a general in heaven." Huang Xu exclaimed.
When Huang Xu said this, even he felt disgusted.
"Brother Huang really thinks so." Guo Potian watched Huang Xu finish his words and asked.
"Yes, doesn't the eldest brother think there's something wrong?" Huang Xu asked rhetorically.
"No, no, I agree with it, but because I've heard some rumors, I think the Brotherhood will have a different opinion." Guo Potian said.
"I didn't understand what the eldest brother meant." Huang Xu really didn't understand, he didn't know what Guo Potian wanted to express.
"Since it's a brother, I don't believe in these rumors, but in front of my brother, I can't help but say it, if I don't say it, it's disrespectful to my brother, so I just asked." Guo Potian said.
"What rumors did the eldest brother hear, can you tell the younger brother?" Huang Xu said.
"Brother, these are all rumors, don't believe it, just listen to it, don't take it seriously, rumors say that you have a special identity, and you made a special trip to Dongwang's Mansion to undercover the big thing of Dongwang, and you are not the same heart as Dongwang." After Guo Potian finished speaking, he stared at Huang Xu intently.
"Oh, there's such a saying, it's really interesting, I don't know who made it up, and anyone who made it up should be able to write a book." Huang Xu said calmly.
Although Huang Xu is calm on the surface, but deep down there are huge waves, Huang Xu is not sure whether Guo Potian's words are his own thoughts about saying it and trying himself, or whether there are really such rumors outside, if there are really such rumors outside, then he must be cautious, it is obvious that the person who spreads such rumors, he wants to put himself to death, his heart is really vicious, and who will be the person who spreads these words, is it Zhao Xiaofeng, or Fang Hu, Huang Xu thought about it, in addition to these two people, who else would do this to himself. But, if Guo Potian used this to test himself, what was his purpose, and how much did he actually know?
"I said, how is this possible? There must be someone who is jealous of you and is highly valued by the king of the east, so say such things so that the king of the east will be suspicious of you, so as to alienate you and reduce the threat to them. "This time it was Lu Qingtian who spoke.
This Lu Qingtian seems to be talking in his words, listen carefully, there seems to be some inducing elements in these words, deliberately trying to lead Huang Xu's thinking to some people.
What do these two people mean by singing this today, Huang Xu thought.
"Second brother is serious, maybe, you are mistaken, there should be no such thing, besides, the clear is self-purifying, I, Huang Xu, am not afraid of shadows, these words will not work for me." Huang Xu said.
"Brother, don't be careful, we don't mean anything else, we're just worried that you will be calculated by others, so I'll give you a reminder and let you be careful." Guo Potian said that he was very sincere.
"I know in my heart, both brothers are good to me, I remember." Huang Xu said.
"Brothers, say this, give birth, come and drink, drink." Lu Qingtian probably felt that he couldn't go any deeper, so he used drinking to divert the topic.
"Yes, drink, drink, have to have a good time today, haha." As soon as he talked about drinking, Guo Potian immediately revealed his true colors as Guo Cannon.
Huang Xu smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and drank the wine in the glass. (To be continued......)
