"You...... Going?! ”

Mr. Guo turned his head and saw that he was about to leave, and was immediately shocked and blurted out his name.

"Senior Brother Guo, long time no see."

Say it with a blank face.

"What are you doing here?"

Mr. Guo asked in surprise.

Yaoli sneered: "Come and return the favor." ”

The two of them were in the battle group like this, and you and I chatted one sentence at a time.

Xu Rui didn't expect this fierce man to know and leave, his heart sank slightly, and on the other side, Long Tu was also dumbfounded when he saw this.

"Die!"

At this moment, the shadow maid suddenly came out of the crowd and slashed at the back of Mr. Guo's neck.

Mr. Guo immediately realized the crisis, and the hand holding the gun tightened slightly, and he immediately turned around and shot the shadow maid.

When he saw this, he frowned, turned his right hand into a knife and slashed at the back of Mr. Guo's head.

In an instant, Mr. Guo's head burst open, red and white things splashed everywhere, and his body was so soft that it fell to the ground.

The shadow maid killed with a sword, but she stabbed in the air, a trace of pity flashed on her face, and she glanced at her and was about to leave: "If you want to kill people from the beginning, why do you have to talk so much nonsense with him?" ”

"This ......"

To be slightly stunned, he said helplessly: "When the old people meet, of course, they have to say hello first." ”

The shadow maid thought seriously for a moment and shook her head: "It's inexplicable!" ”

With that, she took her sword and turned and walked out.

"Hey, where are you going?"

To leave nervously asked.

"Go kill someone."

The shadow maid replied without replying.

To leave: "There is an army outside the door, if you can't succeed, let me come." ”

The shadow maid paused, then turned back and was about to pass by.

"I'll leave it to you outside, and I'll leave it here."

With a wry smile, he glared at Xu Rui fiercely, and slowly walked towards the door.

"Boom !!"

There was another round of grenade explosions, and the entire Jingluo Mansion shook violently, and the border soldiers brought by Mr. Zou howled as miserably as the knife and axe hands, and the attack was blocked, and they wanted to take the opportunity to enter the battle group, stirring up the frightened soldiers.

The front hall was now covered with blood, and the swords and axes that poured in were wiped out by the shadow maid and the less injured Xiaohu, as well as a group of guards armed with repeating crossbows.

Most of the generals and officials of the Northwest Frontier Army have also become ghosts under the crossbow, including Long Shaohua, the eldest son of Long Tu.

In the previous chaotic battle, he did not dodge the random fire of the soldiers, and was hit by three arrows in the back, one of which hit the vest, and he was killed.

Long Tu sat on the big seat, watched this scene miserably, and let Xu Rui walk to his side.

"You've lost."

Xu Rui said lightly.

Long Tu sneered: "You didn't win either, even if I die, you won't be able to control the Northwest Frontier Army, just wait for the barracks to blow up, and the chaotic army that avenges me will pour out, and you won't be able to escape." ”

Xu Rui shook his head, pointed to the door of the front hall and said, "Look over there." ”

Long Tu raised his head, looked into the distance through the smoke in the courtyard, and saw a puff of black smoke coming out of the city, which seemed to be the direction of the northwest border army camp.

"You're taking the camp?"

Long Tu was stunned.

Xu Rui nodded: "The commanders of the Northwest Frontier Army are all dead here, and it will be much easier to capture the camp." ”

Long Tu was stunned for a moment, and said incomprehensibly: "How did you do it?" Even if there is no commander, the army of hundreds of thousands of people does not mean that the sky will change. ”

Xu Rui nodded again: "I don't have this ability, but Jinyiwei does." ”

Long Tu seemed to remember something, and exclaimed, "You asked Jinyiwei to fake the holy decree?!" ”

Xu Rui laughed: "These methods can be used when necessary, not to mention that this is originally the idea of the Holy Master, even if this matter breaks out, the Holy Lord will tell the world that he has given me a secret decree to take over the Tianqi Pass." ”

Long Tu laughed when he heard this: "This is the tacit understanding between you and the Holy One?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "The tacit understanding can't be talked about, it's just a courtier, of course you should think more about it, right?" ”

Long Tu shook his head and smiled: "No wonder the Holy Lord favors you, a person like you who has clever means and knows how to figure out the holy will, which emperor would not like it?" ”

Speaking of this, Long Tu suddenly laughed: "It's just that you hug the saint so tightly, aren't you afraid of a miserable end in the end?" ”

Xu Rui looked at Long Tu and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Long Tu waved his hand: "Why do you have to pretend to be confused? There will always be a day when the saint will grow old, and the vigorous battle for the heir has already begun.

It seems right that you will always stand on the side of the saint, but will the new monarch tolerate a courtier who is highly accomplished and does not share his heart?

If you can't be controlled by the new king, will the saint choose you or the new king in order to pave the way for the son who stands out?

If you don't leave yourself a way out at this time, you won't even have a choice at that time, and the end will be worse than mine. ”

Xu Rui was silent when he heard this, and said lightly for a long time: "It's far away, you better clean up the mess in front of you first." ”

Long Tu smiled: "I thought that the champion Hou Zhizhu was in his hands and had already grasped the overall situation, so he still used me to clean up the mess?" ”

Xu Rui said lightly: "The rest is easy to say, you have a very powerful subordinate, and you actually led a large army to besiege Jingluo Mansion in advance, and it seems that only you can let him stop." ”

"You said Mr. Zou?"

At the mention of Mr. Zou, a trace of gloom flashed on Long Tu's face, as if he regretted not listening to him at the beginning.

But for a moment, all the excess emotions disappeared from his face.

Long Tu looked at Xu Rui playfully: "The enmity between you and me is as deep as the sea, why do you think I will help you?" ”

Xu Rui took out a booklet from his chest and said lightly: "Lord Long, you have a mediocre background and no background, you joined the army at the age of fifteen, and at the age of eighteen, you experienced the Battle of the Sea Peak outside the Saiwai, and while you were seriously injured several times, you also gained countless military merits because of your bravery.

That year, your mother died, but there was a shortage of generals in the army, so you didn't have to go home to worry, and accumulated military merits to sit on the top of the guerrilla general.

But you resolutely hung up the seal and left, insisting on going home for three years.

Three years later, you started from a captain who had no grades, experienced more than 30 battles, and became the commander of the imperial court with his military merits at the age of nearly 30.

In the following decades, you guarded the northwest of Great Wei, except for the fiasco of Saiwai a year ago, you did not let the steppe people take advantage of it. ”

Long Tu listened to Xu Rui's words quietly, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but he reluctantly smiled faintly: "I didn't expect Lord Xu to have studied the life of Zaixia." ”

Xu Rui said with a smile: "As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible, of course you have to understand you first to deal with you, otherwise why do you say that the only enemy who knows you in the world is your enemy." ”

"Oh?"

So what conclusion did Master Xu draw from Fang Cai's resume?

Xu Rui said: "Lord Long has been in the army all his life, and he is not afraid of death when he fights, and he never spares his life, but he cherishes his family very much. ”

Long Tu's face changed when he heard this, and he stared at Xu Rui.

Xu Rui ignored his face at all and continued: "How could such a Dragon Lord let go of the national calamity for the sake of his own immortality? I'm afraid it's your relatives who need the elixir of longevity, right? ”

Long Tu was shocked, and suddenly laughed: "Lord Xu, you really seem to be like a demon, you can say everything into people's hearts, I'm afraid I would have been persuaded by you a long time ago." ”

As he spoke, a trace of grief and indignation suddenly flashed on his face, and he pointed at Long Shaohua and said, "It's a pity that you killed Wu'er, you and I have a blood feud, and you want me to help you clean up the mess, that's a fantasy!" ”

Xu Rui shook his head when he heard this, and said lightly: "Lord Long, I am the eldest son who killed you, but you have three sons under your knees, if you don't have me, do you think they can survive?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Long Tu immediately stared at Xu Rui viciously.

Xu Rui didn't give an inch, and also forced his eyes away.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Long Tu suddenly sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "You keep my wife and children safe!" ”

Xu Rui nodded: "I will send them out of the Saiwai, and I will not be persecuted by all forces in this life!" ”

Long Tu nodded, got up slowly, and said coldly to Xu Rui: "Remember your promise, otherwise I won't let you go if you are a ghost!" ”

After speaking, Long Tu ignored Xu Rui anymore and strode out.

Xu Rui stood quietly in place, only to hear Long Tu go out after the sound of battle gradually disappeared, and then there were bursts of sadness, despair, and angry persuasion.

Xu Rui sighed and said to himself: "The matter of Tianqi Pass has finally been resolved......
