Chapter 228: Conspiracy

In the Lingguo Palace, the Linghuang sat in the pavilion in the garden, and the surrounding palace guards were all five zhang away, only Yao Saifeng knelt in front of the Linghuang.

The Spirit Emperor looked at him and said, "You get up." ”

Yao Saifeng replied: "If you don't get up, you're tired from standing, so it's better to kneel." ”

The Spirit Emperor asked, "Is there any news?" ”

Yao Saifeng replied: "Zhong Chenghou of Jing Xuezhai once went to Gu Du and injured Gu Du, but he was not killed, and the grass people felt that Zhong Chenghou had the ability to kill Gu Du. ”

A cold light flashed in the Spirit Emperor's eyes, and he asked, "If you have the ability to kill, why don't you kill it?" ”

Yao Saifeng replied: "When it comes to Juelingmen, it is said that as soon as Zhong Chenghou saw the sword array, he recognized it as Juelingmen, and then said that the battlefield would determine the victory. ”

The Spirit Emperor frowned and asked, "There are more powerful characters in the Jueling Sect?" ”

Yao Saifeng replied: "The grass people think otherwise, it should be that Zhong Chenghou is afraid of the revenge of the Jueling Gate, so he does not dare to kill Gu Du, if there are more powerful characters in the Jueling Gate......"

Yao Saifeng paused, raised his head and looked at the Spirit Emperor, the Spirit Emperor nodded, and said, "Yes, no one has ever stabbed me." ”

After being silent for a while, the Spirit Emperor said, "You go to Jingxuezhai for me, let Zhong Chenghou kill Gu Du, and tell him that this is my will." ”

Yao Saifeng said: "Your Majesty, the grass people have to dare to ask a few words, otherwise they are afraid that they will not be able to do it." ”

The Spirit Emperor replied, "You ask." ”

Chu Qin returned to the imperial city, first went to find the old man Shangguan Mingfeng, heard that Shangguan He was going to be a hostage, Shangguan Mingfeng said earnestly: "Chu Qin, you can't have a small one, just ignore the big one, right?" He'er is your wife. ”

Chu Qin said with a face full of grievances: "Why does my father-in-law praise and belittle my son-in-law so much? How could I be willing to be a hostage? It's just that Mrs. Gu has to go to He'er to feel at ease, for the sake of the overall situation, and the son-in-law is also difficult. Besides, Gu Du is only here to help defend and help in the war, and He'er is just living in Juelingmen for a while. ”

"Alas......" Shangguan Mingfeng shook his head and sighed, and said in a low voice: "Chu Qin, as the saying goes, forty is not confused, why are you still so naïve?" ”

Chu Qin was stunned for a moment, and Shangguan Mingfeng said in a low voice: "Do you really think that the emperor will swallow this breath?" There are no two days in the sky, there are no two monarchs in the country, Zeguo is a branch that defected from the spirit country, how can the emperor give up? ”

Chu Qin frowned and said, "The little son-in-law thinks that when the foreign tribe invades, we should work together to resist the enemy, and we should not kill each other. ”

Shangguan Mingfeng smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "This is the best time to start, not only can you shirk the responsibility, but also anger Zeguo, and once Zeguo loses Gu Du, there is nothing to worry about, if you can lead the hatred to Xiongren Country again, it will be even better." ”

Chu Qin frowned, Shangguan Mingfeng sighed, and said: "Since Gu Dui has requested, you should play the emperor, just right, I also want to know how the emperor will choose." ”

Chu Qin entered the palace in a complicated mood, and played Gu Du's request, the Spirit Emperor sneered, and said: "The two countries have signed a letter of state, and now it is a foreign invasion, even if my Spirit Kingdom fights to the last person, it will never take anyone hostage with him, if he doesn't understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, then he can be a wall-to-wall watch!" ”

Chu Qin felt comforted in his heart, although Shangguan Mingfeng was right, the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Gu Du, but after all, he was concerned about Shangguan He's safety.

Emperor Ling said again: "You too, you actually moved the idea of letting your wife be a hostage, I know that you are dedicated to the country and loyal, but as a seven-foot man, you can't protect your family, how can I entrust this country and society to you?" ”

Chu Qin responded: "The minister is ashamed." ”

Emperor Ling said: "You don't have to go to see Gu Du again, I will order someone to send the letter of state, you can rest for two days and go to Lingbo County." ”

Gu Du didn't wait for Chu Qin's reply, but what he waited for was a report from Zhenbei Pass, saying that the envoy of Lingguo entered the customs with a letter of state and went straight to the imperial city of Zeguo.

Gu Du immediately rushed back to Zeguo with Dongfang Xia Lan, and on the way, Dongfang Xia Lan asked, "What does Chu Qin mean?" ”

Gu Du replied: "It's not Chu Qin's meaning, the Spirit Emperor still wants to get rid of me." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Gu Du replied: "There is no other choice except to retire." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan hurriedly said: "I know it's a trap, you want to go too?" ”

Gu Du replied: "Ten years of war, famous all over the world, in the invasion of foreign tribes, there is no way to avoid it. ”

Dongfang Xia Lan shouted: "Chu Qin is really not a thing! ”

Gu Du said: "He doesn't want to kill me, it's the Spirit Emperor who wants to kill me, Chu Qin is not the Spirit Emperor after all." ”

Yao Saifeng's Jingxuezhai guest room waited for four days before he saw Zhong Chenghou.

Zhong Chenghou asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Yao Saifeng replied: "On the emperor's edict, please take action to settle a matter that should have been settled a long time ago." ”

Zhong Chenghou said: "The old decay is about to die, and living here is just a waste of life, and the emperor's order is really difficult for a strong man, and the old decay doesn't know what the emperor said." ”

Yao Saifeng rolled his eyes and said, "Old lady Zhong, there are many guards around Gu Du, when you went to kill him, two guards were beaten by you and vomited blood, and they hated you." ”

Zhong Chenghou said coldly: "Since you know so well, you should understand why I didn't kill Gu Du." ”

Yao Saifeng raised his hand, smiled with his orchid fingers, and said, "I understand what's the use, this is the emperor's will, are you old Jingxuezhai or not from the Spirit Kingdom?" Your old granddaughter is the high priest Chu Qin's wife. ”

Zhong Chenghou said: "I want to see the emperor." ”

Yao Saifeng responded with a smile: "Cheng, you go and see you when you are old, and no one is stopping you from being old." ”

Gu Duxian's envoy returned to the imperial city of Zeguo one day, and immediately entered the palace to meet him, and explained the situation to Emperor Ze, and Emperor Ze frowned and asked, "Why does Uncle Guo have to risk his life?" There are so many generals that anyone can lead the army to assist in the defense. ”

Gu Du replied: "It's not that the minister wants to go, but the minister can't hide." Back then, Chu Qin once taught his ministers that what should come will always come, and it is useless to be afraid, the more afraid you are, the faster you will die. ”

Emperor Ze frowned, turned his face to look at Li Xia, and Li Xia said: "Chu Qin didn't tell me, Chu Qin likes him and doesn't say anything to me." ”

Emperor Ze frowned even tighter, and Gu Du said: "Your Majesty, even if the ministers don't go, the Spirit Emperor will not give up the desire to kill the ministers, and he will also tell the world that the Ze Kingdom is afraid of the enemy and cowardly when the foreign invasion occurs, and even enslaves the face and knees, and unites the foreign tribes to plot the Spirit Kingdom." ”

Emperor Ze said: "I can send troops to assist in the defense, but Uncle Guo doesn't have to ......."

"Your Majesty." Lixia interrupted Emperor Ze and said: "Everyone knows that the commander of Zeguo is my brother, if I change people to lead the army, I am afraid that the people in the country will be suspicious, and what is even more terrible is that rumors are spreading, people's hearts are scattered, and the spirit emperor will be defeated without a fight. ”
