Chapter Ninety-Three: Persuasion
Li Congxin smiled, he could already be sure that he was Gu Jiayi.
His voice was just as it was outside the city of Changzhou.
At that time, Gu Jiayi was guarding outside the City God Temple with a silver sword, Gu Huanyi was worried about his safety and wanted to run out, so he shouted to the people who were taking refuge in the temple: "Don't let her come!" ”
At the time, he was their patron saint.
Now time is easy to change, but his love for his sister has not changed.
Li Congxin took a few steps closer and said, "Before, we sent someone to rescue you, but you refused to go back to Xuanguo, and Huanyi was very sad when he found out, and insisted on coming to you." If you refuse to come with us at this time, she will not give up, and she will come to the Iron Prison to find you. You are her brother, you should know her character, and we can't stop her. ”
Gu Jiayi didn't look over, still just said: "Don't let her come!" ”
Li Congxin said: "Gu Shaoshuai is reluctant to return to Xuanguo, and he does not want to see his father, fellow villagers and close relatives, I may be able to guess some of the thoughts in your heart." But whether you're hurting, guilty, afraid, or running away, it's been more than two years since the incident, and it's time to pack up your mood and stand up. Have you ever wondered how Huanyi has been here for more than two years? She lost her most dependent father and brother overnight, Ling Tang died of a serious illness, and the Gu clan bullied her orphan daughter and wanted to occupy the family property...... In the face of so many blows and difficulties, she did not escape, she did not cowardly, she did everything to keep the Gu family's property, and she risked her life to find the truth about the destruction of the Gu family's army. And you, the brother who was supposed to take on all this, are hiding under the enemy's wings and escaping reality. ”
Gu Jiayi held his head in the shadows, and his body gradually trembled.
Zheng Qing pulled Li Congxin and said, "Don't say that. ”
Li Congxin shook his head and said, "I must say!" He fled in Beiyi for two years, refusing to face the death of 80,000 people, the death of General Gu, and his own pain and depravity. All these realities that he is unwilling to face are borne by Huanyi, I must make him clearly aware of what he is doing, he can no longer escape! ”
Gu Jiayi buried his head and roared, "What do you know?" What do you know? You don't know anything at all! Avenge...... How can I get revenge? ”
Thinking of the fall of Gu Jiajun, Gu Jiayi's emotions gradually became excited.
He still remembers that in the spring of two years ago, he led the army with his father.
From the day he set off, he found that his father was more worried than ever, worrying about the map and the sand table all day long.
Gu Jiayi asked the reason, and General Gu pointed to the snow-capped mountains on the sand table and said: "There is more rain in spring today than in the past, and we are in a confrontation with Beiyi here at the moment. ”
Gu Jiayi didn't understand why his father suddenly had such a worry, and said: "The Tianhu Dam is inspected every six months, and our soldiers are guarding it, and I haven't heard of the news of the water level skyrocketing, so it shouldn't be such a big risk." ”
Every time Gu Jiayi thinks about it now, he blames himself, if it weren't for his wrong judgment, his father might have changed the place of the garrison, and maybe everyone wouldn't have died......
Later, when the scouts arrived with the news of the collapse of the Tianhu Dam, General Gu immediately sent him to bring the vanguard army back to Liangzhou to report for help, but when he arrived at Sanyang Pass, he met the Donglin army.
He thought it was a friendly army, but what was waiting for them was a military order to "kill the rebels"!
At that moment, he understood that the collapse of the Tianhu Dam and the strangulation of the Donglin Army were all pre-designed conspiracy!
Someone wants to take the 80,000 military souls of the Gu family army and pave the way to heaven!
The military soul that he had believed in since he was a child was gone, and the belief in his heart collapsed, he didn't know what kind of country the Gu family had been guarding for hundreds of years, and he felt worthless for everyone!
For more than two years, he has struggled on the verge of treason, he doesn't want to ruin the reputation of the Gu family and the Gu family's army, but he doesn't want 80,000 people to die so unjustly......
When Li Congxin heard Gu Jiayi shouting "How can I take revenge", he noticed something unusual, so he said to Zheng Qing: "Zheng Shaoxia, I have a few words to tell him alone, please retreat for a while." ”
Zheng Qing nodded and advised: "You take it easy, don't be too hateful, I'll go outside to guard, you can speak with confidence." ”
When Zheng Qing went out, Li Congxin asked Gu Jiayi: "The Gu Shaoshuai I know is a conceited and proud person, in the face of the death of your loved ones and comrades, why don't you even have the heart to take revenge?" ”
Gu Jiayi looked at Li Congxin and sneered: "You came to me in the name of my sister, and you came to persuade me to surrender and ask me to rebel." I don't know who you are, but I can tell you that I, the Gu clan, will never be a traitor! Even if Emperor Xuan is mediocre and jealous of the Gu family's high merits, my Gu clan can't be sorry for the people of Xuan and help Beiyi invade the territory of my Xuan country! ”
Li Congxin was overjoyed when he heard this, and he understood where the crux was.
"Do you think the fall of the Gu family army was done by Emperor Xuan?"
Gu Jiayi said coldly: "Except for him, who can have such a heavenly ability?" Not only did he destroy the Gu family's army, but in order to cover up his crimes, he didn't even let go of the Donglin army! ”
Li Congxin speculated: "Wanyan really wants to leave you in Beiyi, he must have said bad things about Emperor Xuan with you, and all kinds of things about the Donglin Army and Xuan Kingdom, you must only hear from her." I'll ask you a few questions, why did Prince Yuhe die? Do you know that the prince of Xianwang was sent into exile? Do you know that Wan Yankang is chasing you? ”
Gu Jiayi really didn't know the questions he asked, he only listened to Yan Zhen say that Emperor Xuan disposed of the Lin family in order to eliminate the evidence of the crime and disbanded the Donglin Army; In order to buy people's hearts, not only did he not convict Donglin Jun, but he also pretended to build the Righteous Warrior Temple, but when he turned around, he took Gu Huanyi to the capital and imprisoned him.
Li Congxin sighed and said, "You have been deceived! ”
Li Congxin told Gu Jiayi that King Xian induced Li Yuhe to smoke cold ice powder, and then leaked the matter to General Gu, forcing Li Yuhe to murder Gu Jiajun to kill him.
"Gu Jiajun's enemies are King Xian's father and son, accomplices such as Donglin Jun and Wan Yankang, and Li Yuhe, the executioner who was used, but he is not Emperor Xuan. In order to restore the innocence of the Gu family, Emperor Xuan did not hesitate to give up the life of his last son, and spared no effort to send people to track down the evidence of King Xian's crimes. You should have returned to the dynasty to help Emperor Xuan find out the truth, but you were deceived by the Beiyi people and lived here in vain. ”
When Gu Jiayi heard these truths, he didn't know whether to believe them, but this was the first reasonable explanation he had heard in the two years since he was imprisoned.
He staggered to his feet, approached Li Congxin, restrained his excitement and asked, "Who are you, if what you said is true, how could you know about such a confidential matter?" ”
Li Congxin calmly clenched his fists and said: "I forgot to report to my family, under Li Congxin, your quasi-brother-in-law." ”
Gu Jiayi looked shocked, even though he didn't know Li Congxin, but who of the nobles and eunuchs of the Xuan Kingdom didn't know his name?
How did he come to Beiyi? How did he become his quasi-brother-in-law?
