A family thief is a family thief, and a foreign enemy is a foreign enemy, it may seem that on the surface, it seems that the former will only make people feel disgusting, and the latter will make people really pay attention to it, but in fact, as the master's family, how can the Daliang Imperial Court only focus on dealing with one of them, and completely ignore the other party?

This is only when the scoundrels on the streets of the market are weak and are beaten by others, in order to deter enemies who are several times their own and seek a glimmer of life, they will choose to catch a person and bite him, but the war between countries is by no means comparable to the kind of petty fights on the streets, this is the most important matter related to the fate of a country and the lives of tens of millions of people, and there is no room for the slightest willfulness.

Could it be that the imperial court would really be angry for a moment, annoyed that his Xu family turned against water at such a critical time, so they used all their strength to beat him, a family dog, and completely ignored the wolves outside to bite from their exposed weaknesses?

This is simply impossible, he doesn't believe that His Majesty the Emperor of the dynasty has such a mediocrity, and he does things completely by his temperament, in this kind of life-and-death struggle, he might as well look up to the enemy a few points, be more cautious, and make more preparations for the future, otherwise he won't know how to die when the time comes.

Therefore, if the imperial court already has the confidence to deal with him Xu Jintang, then on the other side, the arrangement of the alliance forces of Wei and Jin will only be more, never less, not to say that there is nothing at all, it is a fool.

Thinking of this, Xu Jintang's mixed state of mind, which had become a little chaotic, finally calmed down slowly, because he was a determined martial arts master, and he was a generation of heroes, he must not, and could never be so simple, to be a waste that he could poke to death with one finger, and easily defeated with a few words, he would never allow such a thing to happen!

He only used a little force, and the clothes on his arms became tight, completely fitting the muscles, and it looked like he was almost being directly broken, his eyes were full of murderous energy, and his tone became full of oppression: "If the next development of the situation will really become like that as you said, then you really shouldn't come today, poor prince, I think with your life, you should be able to exchange for a smooth road to the west, right?"

Gu Cang sat opposite him, he didn't even move his buttocks, just separated by a sand table for deduction, it seemed to be a little distance, but in fact, it was really not far, he saw Xu Jintang's murderous eyes, and also heard the other party's threatening words, but from his face, you can never see the slightest nervousness, or a hint of fear, even if he knew that as long as the person sitting opposite him was willing to make a desperate move, he would inevitably die here today, but he still looked light and light, and he didn't seem to care。

Gu Cang shrugged his shoulders slightly, put on a look of not caring at all, and said with a smile: "Then you can try, but since you saw it from the beginning, I, Gu Cang, am just a poor dying person, and I am willing to come to see you so frankly, haven't I arranged my own afterlife? Or do you think that I am actually a very uplifting, arrogant immature offspring with an arrogant heart?"

Xu Jintang's body stiffened slightly, and the domineering momentum he had just mentioned slowly fell back, he supported the platform with both hands, squinted his eyes, and began to carefully look at the young man in front of him, who could still maintain his demeanor and talk and laugh in front of him.

But after carefully observing the other party for a while, he felt a little depressed for the first time in his life that he couldn't see through the other party at all, because he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, or what he wanted to get from him.

Or is it that the other party is so confident, as I said before, it is just three words of "frank and dang".

He can't find the flaws in the other party's words for the time being, and if he goes on according to the situation depicted in the other party's words, he can't think of a possible way to break the game, but he can't say a word to admit defeat, because all of this is just what the other party is saying for the time being, he can't see the south wall, he won't look back, even if he really sees the unattainable south wall one day, he would rather break it directly, even if it's vigorous?

"I know you don't believe it in your heart, and you don't want to believe it, after all, you are General Xu, a generation of heroes, if you are not determined, how can you get to this point today?" Gu Cang's fingers tapped the table very rhythmically, and said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter, because you will see the results after all, and you don't need to wait too long." ”

Xu Jintang forcibly forced himself to ignore the disgusting appearance of the other party as if he had mastered everything, but raised his head, looked at him, and sneered: "Hehe, what about you? Prince, can you tell me that you have worked tirelessly, run all the way out of the capital, and go to great lengths to sneak into my territory, and come here to tell me what these things are for? Or is it that in fact, the chaos in Yongzhou has not been pacified at all, there is no 200,000 Yongzhou army, and there are no fierce guards waiting for me in Liangzhou, you are actually afraid, afraid that I will join forces with the patriots over there and directly enter the capital, so you come to scare me?"

The three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman can't win the ambition, not to mention that he Xu Jintang is already the commander of the three armies, how can he be frightened by a few simple words.

But he didn't want to, Gu Cang just shook his head, then straightened his face, and replied very sincerely: "General Xu, in fact, in terms of seniority, you can also be regarded as half of my uncle, even if it is not a relative, so my words will be more straightforward, I came all the way from the capital, not to disgust you, let alone to scare you, but to point out a clear way to you at the end." ”

Xu Jintang's eyes became a little cloudy, his face was cold, and the thoughts in his heart turned sharply, but after hesitating again and again, he couldn't help but ask: "Oh?

The heart of the emperor is as vast as the abyssal sea, and the so-called courtiers, for them, there are only two simple things that can be used and those who cannot be used, and there is absolutely no good or bad, let alone any other saying.

The originally clear river, once it encounters the rainy season, the river water surges, and it will also break the embankment along the river, causing a catastrophe and poisoning one side, while the turbid river, which seems to be turbulent, can also nourish the land on both sides and nurture countless creatures.

But there is only one point, which all people throughout the ages can't bear, that is, betrayal, or rebellion, think about the laws of various countries, among all the major crimes, only rebellion will punish the nine clans, it can be seen how much the emperors hate these courtiers who dare to rebel, so Xu Jintang knew from the beginning that he was actually walking a road of no return.

Unexpectedly, Gu Cang nodded and explained directly: " Half of it, after all, you General Xu's ability, I also know better, you lead the troops to suppress those monkeys in Shu, I must rest assured, if the general is willing to do this, then you can leave a pulse of incense for your Xu family, as well as a good reputation, your son Xu Huaiying, who is still in the capital, is still the next Zhuguo Gong of the imperial court, even if it is only a false name in the future, and no real power, but the glory and wealth will not be reduced in the slightest, if he has the ability in the future, there will naturally be descendants willing to enable him again, and your Xu family can also be in power again, this is all for the sake of your cheap ancestors, I deliberately left a way for your Xu family to live。 ”

At this moment, Xu Jintang's face became even more ugly, because listening to the other party's meaning, the court not only wanted to strip them of the real power of the Xu family, but also did not intend to leave a way for himself to live, although this was also what he expected, but this undoubtedly made him feel that everything that the other party said before was actually true, because only people who really have the determination and confidence to win would say in front of themselves that only the Xu family would be left behind, and not you Xu Jintang.

Xu Jintang said slowly: "Is Your Majesty unable to tolerate me? I will not be worse than my ancestor." ”

Gu Cang shook his head lightly again, then stretched out a hand, pointed to the back of his head, and sighed: "It's not that my father can't tolerate you, but I can't tolerate you, so I said, you should have prayed that I would live a few more days, because only if I am here, you will be there, if I am not there, you can no longer exist, because you have a backbone here, I am afraid that others will not be able to suppress you." ”

There was once a generation of powerful ministers, when Ming Jun was alive, he had no action, lowered his eyebrows and was extremely humble, relying on his acting skills, he deceived everyone hard, and he relied on such a hard time, and he died of several generations of short-lived ghosts of the emperor's family, and when he finally met the mediocre monarch on the throne, he suddenly started an incident and seized power in one fell swoop.

It's not that he doesn't trust Gu Xuan, on the other hand, if it weren't for his wholehearted trust, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate Gu Xuan like this, and even handed over all the future unification to him, and handed over his dreams to him, but there are unforeseen circumstances, and many things are not clear, he has to prepare more savings for Da Liang, so that he will not be overstretched and unable to get through when Da Liang encounters great disasters in the future.

Not to mention the rest, at the very least, when he is still alive, help the future monarch of Da Liang, and solve all the external troubles that others can see, as well as the hidden worries that everyone is not aware of, the three kingdoms of Wei, Jin and Shu are the immediate worries, the three states of Yongjiang and Hai are the worries that may be poisoned for a hundred years, and he Xu Jintang is also a worry that may continue to break out at any time.

He Gu Cang is going to die, you Xu Jintang can't keep it!

Xu Jintang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the surging anger in his heart, and secretly cursed the words "posterity", looked at Gu Cang who had been there for a long time, and threatened with pity: "Don't give me a way to live?" Then aren't you afraid that I will choose to die and break the net, and now I will capture you first, and then go to fight for that glimmer of life?"

Gu Cang didn't know how many times he was shaking his head, he sighed, and he didn't know who he was sorry for, and what he was sorry for.

"Fight, of course, should fight, all living beings, which is not afraid of death, which one does not like life? When the catastrophe is coming, and you can't hide and can't dodge, everyone has to fight again at the end, I can understand, if I were you, I would never want to die in such a suffocated manner, I understand. ”

"But you chose the direction of life, but you chose the wrong one, I will finally point you out, or let go of everything and go north, fight well with those Shu people, show your ability, let the court see your ability, maybe the court will miss your good, cherish your talent? ”

"In Nandi, I Gu Cang wants to let someone know one thing, it won't take three days at most, the news of the accident in Hedong County and the invasion of the Shu army has now spread among your army, at most, it will only take more than half a day, I dare to guarantee that all the 300,000 people know, you can't hide it, so how to choose, or you make your own decision." ”

Xu Jintang's pupils shrank suddenly, he wanted to scold, but he couldn't open his mouth, he wanted to do it, but his body seemed to be pressed with the burden of Wanjun, and he couldn't stand up at all, he lowered his head and was silent, if all his subordinates already knew the news of the accident in Hedong County, could they still forcibly take them to fight the garrison of Liangzhou or the garrison of Yongzhou, would they be willing?

He couldn't answer this kind of question, and looking at what the other party meant, it was obvious that he had already obtained the allegiance of the right general's gang, and now he was waiting for himself to go his own way, and then suddenly appear to seize power.

Xu Jintang thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know how to break the situation at all, his heart was a mess, his mind was a mess, his mind was a mess, he didn't understand at all, how could things suddenly become like this, a good situation, in a blink of an eye, it became a bullshit, Youzhou, which should have been his Xu Jintang's Longxing land, was going to become a place for him to bury his bones, where did he make sense?

No one can accept such a reversal for a while, let alone when the party is most high-spirited, he was silent for a long, long time, and suddenly sighed, and said: "I really should have killed them earlier, and I should have done it earlier, you said that if I had done it earlier, would the ending be different." ”

This time, he really regarded the other party as an existence that could talk to each other on an equal footing, and even that he had fallen behind in terms of mentality, but he didn't want to admit it, because his name was Xu Jintang, he was the master here, the generalissimo of Youzhou, and the first-class pillar of the former glory!

"No way. Gu Cang teased a little narrowly, "After all, you can endure General Xu, you want to be good, but you don't want to put too much effort into it, how can you endure it for a while, but it's a pity that you endured it to the end, but you missed the best time to make a move." ”

When Xu Jintang heard this, a chill suddenly rose on his back, and his stomach was overwhelmed with a bitter chill, and his voice asked very vaguely, "You even counted this?"

Gu Cang just tilted his head, looked at him with a very calm expression, and said, "What do you say?"

After that, he suddenly sat up straight, and on his emaciated face, two deep eyes directly crossed Xu Jintang, looked at the sheepskin map depicting the battle situation between Yanzhou and Liangzhou in the east hanging behind him, and sighed: "Alas, in fact, I really hope to leave two people for the future Da Liang to use, one article and one martial arts, whether you can live or not depends on your own life, and next, I will leave to find that 'Wen', no accident, we will never have the opportunity to meet again in this life." ”

Xu Jintang looked at Gu Cang, his eyes were complicated, and he had mixed feelings, thinking that at the beginning, he played the banner of "Qingjun side, punish the evil and evil", and took it out as a cover to fool the people below, that is, this prince usurped power and disrupted the country.

"I really want to kill you now!"

Gu Cang grinned, and secretly said that if the other party knew, in fact, since he was a commander in Yongzhou, he had already been calculated by himself, and he had been induced step by step to get to this day, any rebellion, in fact, was just to lure out the other three poor worms who hid behind the natural danger and did not come out, he might really have to do it.

So he just withdrew his gaze from behind the other party, tilted his head, and smiled gently: "Why don't you warm a pot of tea?"
