Chapter 458: Jumping the pit
Lose your marbles! It's fucking insane!
Guo Xu shouted in his heart.
What kind of play is this? Is Zongxu dying?
- No, it's more terrible than not dying.
He is smashing his own job and destroying the foundation of the Zong family!
"General Zong, do you know what you're doing?"
Zong Xu didn't blink his eyes: "I know." ”
"Do you know that after doing this, the Zong family will never be able to return to its original position?"
Zong Xu tugged at the corners of his mouth, with three points of mockery and seven points of gloom: "What position did the Zong family have?" Speaking of which, it's just a word for trust. If you are willing to trust us, the Zong family will naturally stand tall. Refuse to trust, and if you do better, your eyes will be scattered. ”
"Zongxu!"
Guo Xu said in his heart, he is really crazy, and he dares to say this kind of thing.
What's more, you have to force yourself to go crazy together!
Zong Xu didn't say a word, just looked at him faintly. His hand was pressed on the sword, and he had no intention of moving it.
The meaning of intimidation was too clear, and Guo Xu had to seriously consider the consequences of not following him.
This is the camp of the Northwest Army, and it is full of Zongxu's manpower from the inside out. If he really wanted to kill himself, there was really no way to do it.
Guo Xu told himself to be calm, and he had to figure out what Zong Xu wanted to do first.
"How are you going to protect him?" He asked, "Rumors have spread, do you want to make the superiors more suspicious of him?" ”
Zong Xu said lightly: "If it has reached the point of death, what is the point of suspicion or not?" ”
Guo Xu is such a person, as soon as his mind turned, he understood the information revealed in the words, and gasped.
"You, you mean......" He pointed to Zong Xu's hand trembling, a thousand words, and finally turned into a sentence, "You're crazy!" ”
It has reached the point of death, that is, they are sure that the emperor has murderous intentions.
Guo Xu was present at the assassination that day. At this time, it is not difficult to think that the master behind it is the master.
I see!
No wonder after that day, when he asked Yang San about it, this kid always talked about him left and right.
Zong Xu knew that the emperor had murderous intentions, and he wanted to protect him, that is, to oppose the emperor. He is a general in commanding the army, what good end can he do if he goes against the emperor? Unless there is a different emperor......
Guo Xu was frightened by his own imagination.
"Zong Xu, General Zong, Lao Zong!" Guo Xu put on a bitter look, "You calm down, the Zong family has not been easy for so many years, and this matter will take the whole family." You have guarded the border for decades and taken the lives of so many sons, not to be a rebel and thief, right? ”
Zong Xu looked at him strangely: "What kind of rebel thief?" ”
Guo Xu was stunned: "You don't want to rebel?" ”
Zong Xu frowned: "What kind of rebellion?" My clan has defended the country for generations, and you accuse me? ”
Guo Xu was confused by him: "Then you ......"
Seeing that there was a communication problem between the two of them, Zong Xu's henchman joined the army and laughed and groaned: "Master Guo, you misunderstood. The general's meaning is to give Yang Gongzi the great merit of this battle to ensure that he passes this pass. ”
"Uh......"
Guo Xu's mind turned a corner.
Oh, that's what it means! scared him to death, and thought that Zong Xu was going to support this kid......
It's okay, it's just a credit for it!
Frightened by the more terrible consequences, Guo Xu now feels that this battle is not good. He has always been able to bend and stretch, but seeing that he is going to suffer, he simply shrinks his head and becomes a grandson. Anyway, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Then he heard Zong Xu say: "Lord Guo, this battle report, it's up to you to write it!" ”
Joining the army, he pushed the pen and ink in front of Guo Xu, and stretched out his hand with a smile: "Please." ”
"......" Guo Xu found out that something was wrong again, "Lao Zong, you want me to jump into the pit!" Once I write this war report, I will be his guarantor, won't I? ”
Zong Xu said flatly: "Lord Guo, a few days ago, Nasu brought someone to arrest you, but the matter of being rescued by Yang San must have spread all over the world through the mouth of the storyteller. ”
!!!
Guo Xu's eyes widened: "Zong Xu! ”
Dare Qing has been calculating him for a long time!
The grace of saving his life, coupled with this war report, Zong Xu pushed his own responsibility away, but it was he who offended the emperor completely!
So insidious!
More insidious than him!
Zong Xu's hand pressed on the saber and did not move, his eyes were more gloomy than just now, and his tone was full of threat: "Lord Guo, do you write?" ”
“…… Write! ”
Guo Xu was full of grief and indignation, and began to write a war report.
What can he choose? If he refused to write, it would be a blink of an eye for Zong Xu to kill him.
And such a big thing has been explained to him, and it is impossible to keep himself out of it.
This pit, he has to jump if he doesn't jump.
Even if he returned to the capital, the emperor would think that he was going to protect Yang Shu.
Guo Xu knew better than them that the emperor was not as good as before. After the autumn hunt of that year, the emperor's head wind became more and more serious, and his temper became cloudy.
In the past eighteen years, he has indeed been a benevolent monarch, but the emperor is the emperor, and his suspicion is far greater than that of ordinary people.
made him suspicious, and he couldn't clear it up.
can only help Yang Shu and make the emperor believe that he is not harmful and does not have to do anything. Otherwise, Yang Shu was considered to be dead, and he could only be buried with him.
Guo Xu finished writing in one breath and threw it over: "You see if this will work!" ”
After Zong Xu looked at it, he discussed it carefully with the army, and asked him to change a few more places.
Finally satisfied him, he asked Guo Xu to transcribe it again, and then the two used the seal together.
Guo Xu hung his head in frustration: "Now I can go back, right?" ”
Zong Xu clenched his fists: "Thank you Lord Guo for your help." ”
Guo Xu twitched the corners of his mouth, turned his head and left.
He doesn't want to say a word to this old liar now!
Zong Rui came in: "Dad, he wrote it?" ”
"I can't afford him not to write." Zong Xu reported the battle to him, "Eight hundred miles is urgent, how fast can you send it." ”
The urgent war report will be sent to the government hall as soon as possible, and it will be seen by all the ministers, and the emperor will not be able to say it alone.
Such a big battle, such a feat, as long as you cross the clear road, you can't suppress it.
When the time comes, the emperor still wants to kill him, it's not that simple.
Yang Shu saw the end from the beginning, where could he not understand Zongxu's intentions.
These days, it's not that he doesn't bother, but no matter how bothered he is, he can only talk about it after the battle.
Unexpectedly, just after the big victory, Zong Xu solved this problem with a thunderous momentum.
"Teacher...... "He didn't know what to say.
What Zong Xu did was not at fault on the surface, but if he violated the emperor's will, he would inevitably lose his grace. It is self-evident how important this is to the Zong family.
This kindness and affection cannot be repaid.
Zong Xu breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "That's fine, you don't have to go against your will......
Six days later, the expedited war was reported to Beijing.
By this time, the Chengzhou rebellion had been put down. However, the rumors intensified, and there was no intention of quelling them at all.
The report of the Imperial City Division has long been placed on the imperial case, confirming that this group of rebels is the remnants of the king of Liuyang County, in order to disgust the emperor and kill people with a knife.
But the emperor was already disgusted, knowing that he was borrowing a knife to kill, and he also wanted to sharpen the knife in his hand.
