Chapter 215: Audience

Gu Du smiled, he always regarded Dongfang Xia Lan as a child who had not grown up, and always ignored that she was the young master of Jue Ling Sect, and her martial arts and spiritual power were not weak.

Although it is not as brave as Lixia, he is proficient in the art of Qimen, and when he is not married, he is a ghost and a calculus, and he does not let the women with eyebrows.

Gu Du smiled and said: "You're right, I just changed my mind, don't worry, anyway, I have already handed over the military power, and I will accompany you to find it." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan looked at him for a while before asking, "You actually feel uncomfortable in your heart, right?" ”

Gu Du smiled lightly and replied: "I fought the battle, even my junior sister married Emperor Ze, but ended up like this, unless I am a fool, how can I feel comfortable?" ”

Dongfang Xia Lan said: "In that case, why do you want to return the military power? You could have killed He Xuzhuo at the beginning, but now you can't kill Qiao Zheng? ”

Gu Du replied: "What is the lesson of Xu Zhuo's past, Qiao Zheng will not come to the surface, he wants to slander me through the harem, and it is only aimed at me, not involving Li Xia." If I carry it hard, the situation is likely to develop into a forced palace, and the emperor will have to make a choice between Concubine Xue and me. ”

Gu Du sighed, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Although I don't seek fame and fortune, I can't destroy my reputation either, if I really get to that point, then I will be busy for more than ten years, not to mention ......"

Gu Du lowered his voice: "Although Dongfang He paid for Jin Lan's mother and son, but the Spirit Emperor is not without mistakes, if there is a chance, I still want to kill the Spirit Emperor, since I want to kill the Spirit Emperor, I can't do without the support of Zeguo's troops." ”

After another pause, Gu Du said softly: "Besides, Dongfang He didn't feel sorry for Jin Lan from beginning to end, for him, whether it was killing Jin Lan, or forcing me to go out of the Spirit Kingdom, or even finally repaying with death, he was for the great cause of Zeguo, and he didn't feel guilty at all, but was a little generous and heroic." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan said softly: "In that case, why do you still accept him as a soul servant?" ”

Gu Du replied softly: "Because I want to improve myself, he has high spiritual power, and he is loyal to Zeguo, there is no more suitable soul servant than him, as long as I advance to the peak realm, no one can stop me from killing the Spirit Emperor." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan leaned into his ear and asked indifferently, "Have you ever thought about becoming an emperor yourself?" ”

Gu Du replied firmly: "No, I never thought about it. ”

Dongfang Xia Lan looked at him with an inquiring gaze, and Gu Du asked softly, "Why do you think I want to defect to Zeguo, why do I want to fight Lingguo?" ”

Dongfang Xia Lan blinked her eyes and asked softly, "Just to avenge Sister Lan?" ”

Gu Du nodded and said softly: "I'm actually very simple, whoever I owe, I have to pay it back, and whoever owes me has to pay me back." At the beginning, I was loyal to the Lingguo and swore allegiance to the death, but in exchange for the tragic death of my wife and children, both the Lingguo and Zeguo owe me! ”

Gu Du gritted his teeth, then sighed again, and said softly: "But I owe Lixia, in order to allow me to use the power of Zeguo to fight the Spirit Kingdom, Lixia became the queen, and now Dongfang He committed suicide in front of me, so Zeguo doesn't owe me, I owe Zeguo." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan smiled, she understood, in fact, Gu Du only had one criterion, that is, the account should be calculated clearly, just like he put Chu Qin, he had to repay the account first, and when the account was paid off, that is, the obedient one lives, and the rebel dies.

In the Zeguo Palace, Concubine Xue's mother, Qiao, entered the palace to see Concubine Xue. On the one hand, the reason is that he misses his daughter, but the more important reason is the three thousand taels of silver sent by the high priest Qiao Zheng.

At that time, when the silver was sent, Xue's father was not sure, although the Xue family was not a small family, but three thousand taels of silver was also a huge amount of money, and it was sent by the high priest.

Although it is said that it is because of the Qiao family, and because of Concubine Xue, the high priest is a very popular minister, how can he come to honor the two of them?

Even if their daughter became the imperial concubine, everyone knew that the Empress Xia was not only favored by heaven, but also the great soul master of the three armies of Yongguan, and her uncle Gu Du controlled the government and held the military power.

What did the high priest do when he gave them so much silver?

But Father Xue can't help but accept it, after all, they are ordinary people, although the daughter jumps into the dragon gate, but in the final analysis, she is just a concubine for the emperor, it is nothing more than the status of the in-laws' family is too high, so it sounds good, but in fact, for a powerful minister like Qiao Zheng, they still dare not provoke, let alone offend.

So Father Xue accepted the money, but he couldn't stop worrying, until Qiao Zheng came to the door in person and said his intentions tactfully, Father Xue finally confirmed his guess, and their Xue family disaster was coming!

Qiao Zheng's words were very tactful, but Father Xue also understood the meaning very clearly.

Qiao Zheng said that since the day Gu went to Zeguo alone, he has been unruly, not only did he not take all the ministers in his eyes, but he also had a lot of disrespect for the emperor.

Fortunately, the Empress Xia and the emperor have a deep relationship, and Gu Du owes the Empress Xia a favor, so he will serve Zeguo.

Now that the two countries have signed a good letter of eternal alliance, but Gu Du still has the overall military power, I am afraid that there will be changes, in fact, there is no war, and the military power should be returned to the emperor, otherwise the relatives support the army and respect themselves, which is not the luck of the country.

Qiao Zheng hoped that Qiao's family would go to meet Concubine Xue and explain the benefits to Concubine Xue, which was also for the sake of the emperor and for the consideration of Zeguo, and although the summer queen was good, after all, there was a suspicion of dominating the palace, and the ministers had many criticisms in private, which was never a good thing.

Father Xue agreed at that time, and understood that Qiao Zheng wanted Concubine Xue to blow the pillow wind to the emperor, but can this wind blow?

Not to mention that the emperor favors the Empress Xia alone, even if the emperor favors Concubine Xue alone, the Empress Xia is inside, and the uncle is outside, the emperor doesn't dare to move lightly, right?

Furthermore, are Gu Du and Lixia human? In the minds of these ordinary people, these two people are like gods! It's nothing more than that the Queen of Xia is a goddess, and Gu Du is a plague god.

But the plague god is also a god, and a god that everyone fears.

While Father Xue was pondering countermeasures, Qiao Zheng sent someone to say that he should not meet Concubine Xue, let alone mention Gu Du's matter.

Father Xue didn't know why, so he sent people to inquire about all parties, only to learn that Gu Du actually took the initiative to return the military power, and also took leave, left the imperial city, and returned to the mountain.

Father Xue waited, waiting for Qiao Zheng to make any more moves, he didn't dare to return the money, he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to discuss with someone.

has been suffering like this for more than half a year, and the wind and waves are calm, but the three thousand taels of silver have crushed Father Xue's breath, this is the root of the bane!

If the root cause is not removed, sooner or later it will lead to great disaster.

So after several thoughts, Father Xue asked Qiao's to enter the palace to find his daughter, Father Xue thought about it, and the only way was to tell his daughter about it, and let her tell the truth to the emperor, so that no matter what kind of disaster it was, it would be possible to save the family by choosing her daughter out first.
