Chapter 249: Back then, today
"Because I spoiled her, so you want to kill me?"
Gu Li's hand holding the edge of the bowl trembled slightly.
"Not bad." Yan Qing replied.
"The man I met that morning who was going to kill me was also instructed by her?" Gu Li asked again.
"Yes."
She had already warned Gu Zhilan, but if she didn't listen, then she only had one way, and that was death.
Gu Li digested these pieces of unbelievable news, and didn't speak again for a long time.
"What about the killer in Nanzhou?" Gu Li suddenly raised her head, looked at him and asked.
She was hiding in the tunnel at the time, and vaguely heard Yan Qing mention "the killer of Nanzhou". Could it be that this matter is also related to Gu Zhilan?
This question has always been on her heart, and she has been thinking about it for a long time before she can figure it out.
On the night she first came to this world, who sent those killers who chased her? She was originally a fish that slipped through the net and an outlaw, so those killers could not have been ordered by the Yue Imperial Court, but more likely, they were her enemies.
Before she knew about Gu Zhilan's existence, she didn't doubt her. Even after knowing her existence, she never doubted it. But now, combined with those other things, Gu Li had to doubt, could it be that those killers were also sent out by Gu Zhilan? She knew about her existence a long time ago? Do you want to kill her? When we met that day, the sisterhood shown was deep, and they were all pretended?
Gu Li was questioning, but heard Yan Qing say, "That's not it." ”
"Isn't it?" Gu Li became more and more puzzled.
Yan Qing smiled slightly and explained to her: "Those killers back then were not sent by Gu Zhilan, they were the King of Beijing. ”
Gu Li was stunned, but she didn't expect it to be her.
"King Beijing rescued her and kept her by his side, he must know her details, and he also found out that you were fleeing. In order to prevent Gu Zhilan from being implicated in the Gu family's affairs, he killed you. Yan Qing continued what he had just said.
Gu Li was stunned for a moment, what happened back then turned out to be like this.
King Beijing wanted to kill the person he loved in order to protect her. Before King Beijing died, he probably didn't know that she was still alive in this world.
"Then the first emperor also knows Gu Zhilan's identity?" Gu Li asked again.
Yan Qing shook his head slightly: "I don't know, from beginning to end, he thought she was just a girl in the Beijing Palace." ”
Because the status is not high, and it is not special, it will be brought back to the palace as a matter of course. Even if he knew that Gu Zhilan and King Beijing were in love, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. It's just a girl, as the head of a country, he doesn't even have this right? As for King Beijing, it would be enough to reward him with a few more young and beautiful women.
However, King Beijing became the one who carried the most for Gu Zhilan.
He was afraid that Gu Zhilan's identity would be exposed, so he sent a killer to get rid of the Gu family's slippage. Openly and secretly, the road was paved for Gu Zhilan. In the end, in order to dispel the emperor's concerns and vigilance against him, he resolutely died.
If it weren't for those later life and death separations, and if she had to meet a lover in this life, Gu Zhilan would be lucky and happy.
Thinking of this, Gu Li sighed in her heart and couldn't help sighing.
At this point, there is nothing more to say. Whether it is King Beijing, Gu Zhilan, or the first emperor, they are all dead. Those grievances and grievances will eventually be buried in the loess with them.
Before you know it, the morning light is faint outside the window.
Gu Li was already asleep, Yan Qing left, but she hadn't woken up yet.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself sleeping in his bed.
The futon was full of his breath, like a green pine after snow, inadvertently burrowing into her nose, surrounding her, wrapping her, and giving her a sense of reassurance.
Gu Li pulled the quilt and clutched it tightly on his chest.
She didn't go out, but she knew roughly what was going on. After Gao Changguo destroyed the Nanyun Kingdom, he destroyed the Yue Kingdom.
After destroying the Nanyun Kingdom, the Gaochang Kingdom quickly grew from a small country that was poor and weak to a powerful country on one side, forming a three-legged trend with the Qi State and the Yue State. Now that the country of Yue has been annexed by it, its strength can be imagined.
To say that there is no credit for Yan Qing here, Gu Li absolutely does not believe it.
What exactly does he want to do? Is it Qi next? He wants the Qi State to cease to exist?
Gu Li's heart was troubled, and she lifted the quilt and sat up.
The biggest impact on her is that she no longer has to be cautious, afraid that her Gu family's identity will be recognized.
Yan Qing didn't come back until the evening, dinner was made by the cook at home, Gu Li was excited, and put it down after a few bites.
As for Yan Qing's side, everything was going according to his plan.
When he laid out in Changning for a long time, everything he did was for today.
Yue is a century-old country, and even if it has declined in recent years, its strength should not be underestimated. If you start attacking from the periphery, you will not be able to win by any means. Even if you win, it will be a long time and a heavy price.
Therefore, the best way to take the country of Yue is to start from the inside and conquer it little by little.
He didn't plan to kill the Emperor of Yue so quickly, but at this time, Gu Li wanted to enter the palace at the edict, so he gave an order to do it in advance.
As soon as the emperor died, the second and third princes really began to compete for the throne. Yan Qing pretended to use the hands of the third prince to get rid of the second prince who had real talent and hard work, and took advantage of the chaos to release the Changning patrol battalion generals who had already been included in his command, and it only took one night to defeat Changning.
He has been in Changning for so long, and he has long understood the Yue Dynasty court, who can stay and who can't, he knows it clearly in his heart.
When these old officials were calmed down, Gao Changguo's generals would attack from the border with Yue. By that time, the imperial city has been occupied, the emperor has been killed, and the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom, where will they resist?
This plan is to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and at the lowest cost, in the fastest time, the powerful Yue State will be taken in one fell swoop.
Yan Qing thought that compared with himself three hundred years ago, he was much kinder now. If it was before, he didn't care if there would be mountains of bones and rivers of blood, and he wouldn't care about the suffering of the world like hell, he only did what he wanted, as long as the goal was achieved, he could do anything.
But now, before he acted, he began to have concerns. He will think carefully and achieve his goals with the least casualties.
Who makes her not like killing? He could only be a little more restrained.
From the sudden death of the emperor of Yue to the return of Yue to the return of Yue Kingdom, only a short period of ten days has passed. No one could have imagined that the Yue Kingdom, which had been strong for hundreds of years, would collapse overnight.
The subjects of the Yue State could not imagine it, and neither could the Qi State, which was located in the northwest of the Yue Kingdom. Take a hundred plating, and read the latest chapter of "Crossing Me and Being Tricked Again" for free reading for the first time.
