Chapter 80: The Obstructor in the Shadows
In fact, there is not much content written in the letter, just like his style of being a person, an official and doing things, it was just some very ordinary words of encouragement at the beginning, and the size of the handle was just right, neither too close to the point that people grabbed the handle and framed it, nor was it too rusty to read it cold.
After that, he casually mentioned that the imperial court had allowed him to recruit the Rakshasa clan, and the names had already been arranged, and the jewelry, porcelain, tea and other things he asked the court for the Rakshasa clan should all be on the way, and there was no mention of him secretly using his relationship to secretly send twice as many materials.
didn't even mention the inner armor in this package at all, only said that he was on the frontier, worried about state affairs, and hoped that he could take care of his body, so he gave him a small gift in private, and asked him to accept it, Gu Xuan understood his mood very well, and he didn't want to be seen by others.
Of course, this is a life-saving thing specially sent by the mysterious Holy Clan, as a thing that can be used in the Western Continent where ten thousand laws are forbidden, it naturally does not have too many magical uses, that is, the defense power is amazing, and it can subtly affect the mind of the wearer, if it were not for this reason, Ye Zhihuai would not have taken the risk of mentioning it more, and asked Gu Xuan to accept it.
Although Gu Xuan didn't know the key at all, he still reached out and grabbed it from the table.
The hand felt like touching the scales of a fish, the armor pieces were layered on top of each other, all the pieces were close together, the texture was fine and silky, and he could fully foresee that if the weapon felt like it was poked on it, this outstanding flexibility could cancel out most of the power.
Gu Xuan grabbed a saber placed next to him, this was a specially tailored one for Feng Blacksmith, not only heavier, but also sharper than ordinary treasure knives, which can be called blowing hair and breaking hair, he just wanted to chop it down directly to try this treasure armor, but in the blink of an eye, he stopped again, thought about it, or forget it.
This treasure knife specially forged by Feng Blacksmith can really be said to be like sharpening iron like clay, he once tried it with his own hands, and when the knife fell on the ore that had just been transported, it was like cutting it on tofu, and it slid down directly along the knife momentum, and it was easily cut in half.
Since this soft armor was specially given by Ye Zhihuai, it must not be a vulgar thing, so why waste it, if it is accidentally cut by a knife, it is not beautiful, and this inner armor is as thin as a wing, and it has no weight in the hand, such a treasure, why bother to destroy it, Gu Xuan didn't think much about it, he directly took off his outer clothes, put them on the inside, and put on the normal single clothes on the outside.
Such a thin armor has one more thing inside, but on the surface there is no difference at all.
If he had stayed in the past, he would definitely not choose to wear it, because it was given by Ye Zhihuai, and he didn't want to accept too many inexplicable kindness from Ye Zhihuai, but after going through so much, he was able to learn to tell himself to rely on them, just as he was willing to ask the court for supplies.
After getting dressed again, after cleaning up, Gu Xuan walked towards the outside of the house.
In the lobby of the county government, Lu Yi, who was sitting at the desk to deal with official business, heard the footsteps, and saw that it was his own prince who came in, so he quickly opened his mouth and retreated from the people, and then directly put down the pen and paper in his hand, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute him: "Lord Wang!"
He was a little strange, because generally speaking, Gu Xuan would not come to the lobby to look for him at such a time.
Seeing this, Gu Xuan hurriedly went up to help him up, and said with a smile: "Sir, there is good news this time." β
As he spoke, he told him that the court had agreed to recruit an and that he had already dispatched supplies.
When Lu Yi heard this, he didn't have much joy, but stroked the long beard on his chin, frowned, and said, "Lord Wang, if you say this, then this matter is strange." β
Gu Xuan hadn't reacted at this time, he just raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the solution?"
Lu Yi turned his head and asked, "I don't know where the prince got the news?"
Gu Xuan was stunned for a moment, but he still replied immediately: "From a friend in the capital." β
He didn't want to talk about his relationship with Ye Zhihuai, so he said so.
Speaking of this, he, who has a seven-trick exquisite heart, immediately reacted, and immediately clapped his hands and said, "By the way, it's time!"
Lu Yi nodded lightly and began to analyze it: " The prince is right, the strange place is the time, since this is the news sent by the prince's friend, then no matter who it is, it is impossible to use all the power of the entire post station to deliver the news for the prince, after all, this is not an urgent military situation, no amount of money can violate the rules of the imperial court, and the court issued the documents and other things to recruit An, but it must be a fast horse to expedit, and the horse is constantly changed halfway, even if the speed of the baggage is not as fast as this letter, but the speed of message transmission, how can it be so slow than the message sent by the prince's friend? We haven't even gotten word yet. β
Gu Xuan's face changed suddenly, and he said in a solemn tone: "This is indeed the truth, then according to Mr., someone is making a hindrance from it?"
Lu Yi thought about it in his heart, frowned, and was also in a heavy mood, and then he opened his mouth to analyze: " And the power of this obstruction from it must be good, the court wants to let the prince recruit peace, then it must give the prince a formal document, whether it is to canonize the names of these Rakshasa clans, or how, in short, it must be negotiated in the court, the edict stamped by the Zhongshu Province, the people in the capital, no matter who it is, can not stop it, and they don't dare, and they have no reason, and according to the minister's guess, the reason why this matter can be successful, it must have the help of the prince itself, and the people in the capital dare not commit crimes under his noseγ β
There is one more thing, in fact, Gu Xuan didn't say it, that is, since this is a letter sent by Ye Zhihuai, it means that the problem must not be in the capital, otherwise there is no need for Gu Cang to go out, Ye Zhihuai is a secretary of the ministry, and he can already crush ninety percent of the people.
He was a little thorough, and immediately surprised: "It's from Youzhou!"
Lu Yi lowered his hand and said calmly: "To be precise, it's the Xu family!"
Gu Xuan's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he quickly subconsciously looked around, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, it's not appropriate to say more here, please go to the room to talk about it." β
This is the lobby of the county government, there are a lot of people coming and going, but anyone who wants to walk around to the back of the office, or come out from the back, will inevitably pass by here, whether it is to pass the official document on the way, or what, there are a lot of idle people, many people are mixed, and they must not discuss such a confidential matter here, not to mention that it involves the head snake of Youzhou, the Xu family.
In this regard, Lu Yi naturally agreed.
The Xu family in Youzhou is a behemoth that cannot be provoked, and the current Huangsha County is far from being an opponent, so when it comes to this topic, it is naturally better to be cautious and avoid it.
The two walked quickly to the house in the backyard, after Gu Xuan deliberately closed the doors and windows, he called the careful Ma Mingze to guard the door, and did all this, he whispered: "I understand what Mr. means, dare to make a disturbance in Youzhou, except for the Xu family, no one dares to mess around, especially those powerful generals, and I have no direct conflict of interest, let alone the Xu family, only the Xu family!"
Of course, Gu Xuan didn't think that it would be Xu Huaiying's kid who did it, he was not such a short-sighted person, and it was even more impossible for the Xu family to target himself because of Xu Huaiying's temporary conflict between the two juniors, and because he did not take the initiative to provoke, he immediately guessed: "Is it my identity?" I was originally the king of Hedong County, if Huangsha County is well managed, after the year-end assessment of the Ministry of Officials, then the entire Hedong County will be assigned to my command, which is equivalent to pulling a piece of meat from the Xu family, and it is indeed possible for them to target me for this. β
Occupy the northwest of Youzhou, not so much Liangguo, but rather the Xu family, the Xu family since the founding of the country, was given the hereditary position of the Duke of the Pillar by Emperor Taizu, generation after generation, these generations have been handed down, the entire Youzhou, basically all the people of the Xu family hold positions in the army, even the current two generals on the left and right, but also the old general Xu Quanzhong's old department, even the imperial court of Youzhou Mu, do not dare to disrespect the Xu family, so to speak, the Xu family is simply the emperor of Youzhou, if you really want to talk about it, the people of Youzhou are estimated to be more in awe of the Xu family who is close at hand, rather than the royal family Gu family who is far away in the sky, so they dare to mess around in Youzhou, and they have the ability to mess around, there is indeed only the Xu family.
Neither of them guessed the root cause wrong, but Gu Xuan guessed the wrong reason.
The development of Huangsha County was just on the right track, and it suddenly encountered this kind of thing, and Lu Yi, who believed in himself, frowned deeply and said: " I'm afraid it's not so simple, the appointment of the prince is the decision of His Majesty, and it is canonized by the imperial court, even if the Xu family is dissatisfied with this, they don't dare to mess around like this, and even if they are dissatisfied, they should understand that the prince is involuntarily, it is useless to target you, if you want to resist, you have to target the imperial court, and detain the baggage that the imperial court gave to the prince, this is just for the prince, it is meaningless at all, as long as the imperial court insists on going its own way, even if the entire Youzhou is assigned to the prince? As long as the Xu family doesn't dare to be that chaotic minister and thief, they have to pinch their noses and endure it, so why should they embarrass the prince in this kind of matter? What is the significance? The head of the Xu family's generation, Xu Jintang, the current general of the Zhu State, has also heard of it, and it is said that he is a scheming person, so how could he do such a stupid thing?
The repeated questions also put Gu Xuan into deep thought, and after a while, Gu Xuan finally figured out the joints and wondered: "What does Mr. meanγγγγγγ β
Lu Yi sighed and said: "These are just the speculations of the ministers, besides, the Xu family also has a lot of power in the court, with the current ability of the prince, reporting to the court has no effect, it will only make Xu Jintang hate the prince, but it will not shake the Xu family at all, the minister just speculates that the Youzhou side has privately detained the baggage, which should have something to do with what we have to do." β
Gu Xuan was suddenly shocked: "Do you think that the border army and the Rakshasa clan are γγγγγγ β
Lu Yi had expected this for a long time, so he said in a disapproving tone: "The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, if the Rakshasa clan is recruited by the prince, how can he Xu Jintang continue to ask the court for supplies? This is the same as the dam in Yongzhou that is repaired and collapses every year, why? If it doesn't collapse, how can I ask the court for money again? For this reason, Xu Jintang also has enough reasons to stop you, the prince. β()
