Suddenly, when he said that he was going to the palace, the people in front of him were a little hesitant, after all, the children of the family, they were all scholars, and the most important thing was the word face, and the things that were done secretly at the bottom could be dirty and dirty casually, and even do everything for the benefit of the family, but the face must be passable, at least, they can't be scolded by others poking their backbones and leaving a stench for thousands of years.

For example, this time, they can choose not to be buried with the old master, they can choose to surrender, but at least they have to make a scene, give the old master and the people of the world a superficial explanation, and now Gu Xuan asks them to lead themselves to the place where their old master lives on weekdays, which is too inappropriate.

It's not really a fight, think about the emperor is still in the palace, and there are so many concubines in the harem, I'm afraid they are still in the dark, let them lead the way for these martial artists, break in at night, pull the old lord off the throne, and defile those poor women in front of them, this is really too difficult.

They can choose to turn a blind eye, but they must not be accomplices.

At this time, Xie Shi turned around, bowed his hand to Gu Xuan, and suggested very sincerely: "The palace is full of yin qi, lest I bump into the prince, I think the prince might as well go to the mansion first." ”

The others were slightly stunned when they heard this, and their hearts were suddenly mixed, I have to say, this Xie Shi dared to stand up at this time, and said this kind of thing they didn't dare to say, it can be said that it was very bold, the first half of the sentence was to be able to give the old master a final dignity, and the second half of the sentence was a small benefit for himself, after all, as long as they served well, they Xie family was also meritorious, at least they were all familiar with each other, thinking about it, this person is indeed not a great Situ of the country, and his courage and wisdom are above ordinary people.

There is also some disdain, and even disgusting, the heart says that you are grateful, you have secretly hooked up with the enemy, eyebrows and eyes to discuss, in the middle of the night took the initiative to open the city gate for the enemy, let this group of Liangguo barbarians come in to show off their might, at this time they ran out to be a good person, together with you are the name also, the profit is also, it seems that we are not people inside and outside, the benefits have not been able to get the big head, you thank you is really bad to the bone marrow, not to lose our David's big Situ, that is really not a soup for others to drink！

Gu Xuan didn't think so much about these people, these old foxes had a lot of flowers and intestines, and they didn't care about good and bad things, anyway, they could always pick out thorns, and everything that didn't have could be said to be flowers, and he didn't bother to care, he just stared at Xie Shi at the moment, but the latter was calm, and there was no fear on his face.

He grabbed the letterhead stamped with Gu Cang's private seal in his hand, turned his face, and no longer looked at the calm Xie Shi, but bowed slightly towards everyone, and asked in a deep voice: "That's okay, then the king won't go to the palace, I don't know if Duanmu Pingyi is there?"

On the other side, Duanmu Pingyi, who had been rubbing his hands uneasily and cautiously looking at the situation here, heard this question, and suddenly stiffened, seeing that the people around him were subconsciously looking towards him, knowing that his identity had been exposed, he was helpless, or hurriedly stepped forward in three steps and two steps, although he was a little nervous, but he still reached the ground first, made a big salute, and shouted: "Duanmu Pingyi, meet the prince!"

The prince of one country meets the prince of another country, but he has to make such a big courtesy, and he is extremely respectful, let alone himself, and the others see this, and they are quite emotional in their hearts, just that time and time, life is like this, there is no way to do it, but it is necessary to praise the other party for a big husband who can bend and stretch, not stupid, but there are also people who have seen a little clue, and secretly said that these two will not have already hooked up.

Gu Xuan saw that Duanmu Pingyi, who had handed him the secret letter before, finally walked out, and took a good look at this person by the light of the torches around him, then nodded lightly, and then said loudly.

"Duanmu Pingyi, now teach you to listen well, as a patriotic royal family, the heavens have a great responsibility, but they don't know the rarity, repay the people, but insist on provoking a war between the two countries, ruining the lives of the people, leaving a hundred years of disaster, there is more than the southern human race, should have been killed, in order to set an example, but hanging in you is only an accomplice, and the ancestors of the Duanmu clan are also conscientious and have not lost their virtues, with the blessing of this ancestor, it is also a blessing for you!"

As soon as the words changed, he continued: "However, the merit is not worth it, and the guilty should be punished, but this king is only a shallow learner, and he doesn't know how to sentence him, and he is afraid that he will be unskilled, so he should leave you and other sinners here, and wait for my Majesty Daliang to deal with it personally!"

When Duanmu Pingyi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head slightly, his eyes looked at the other party in a little panic, and secretly said What does this mean, how can he still be so assertive, a few words change back and forth, or that he can't give himself a clear promise now, but he didn't expect Gu Xuan to look at it and glance at him lightly, although there was no fierce look on his face, but the latter was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head again, and a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his back, and he didn't dare to look up again.

Gu Xuan took a breath of change, and then continued: " Duanmu Pingyi, this king now orders you to go to the palace, take your jade seal to defend the country, and prepare an edict to the world, declaring that your Duanmu clan does not have this virtue and then sits on the throne, and is willing to surrender to my Daliang, as a minister, and must not rebel in the world, all the people who defend the country, neither resentment, nor use the name of your Duanmu clan to regenerate incidents, and increase the karma of killing, this is the merit of the great grace to the people of the two countries, and it is not difficult to wait for this king to pass on the letter to his father, and leave you Duanmu in the future The life of the whole clan is not difficult. ”

The tone of the words changed several times, and the people around him nodded secretly, and said that this person really can't find the slightest loophole, considering the identity of the other party, this is even more rare, there is a merit in breaking the city, but he is not proud of his merits, and he deals with the royal family of a country without authorization, but he directly says that he is "not capable enough", and he wants to ask his father to deal with it personally.

Later, he also gave a very pertinent evaluation to the Duanmu family, so that they could take the initiative to tell the world, and not let those who have a heart or some people who are really loyal to the country and unwilling to give in to make some small moves in secret under the banner of their Duanmu family, which is not only to increase the killing karma, but also to provoke the displeasure of everyone else, and if the name is not right, it will not go well, and it will naturally not work, which is more regarded as giving them a chance to make meritorious contributions to the Duanmu family, and finally hinting at the other party, with this in the future, it can be used to save their lives.

In fact, of course, Gu Xuan can directly dispose of them and defend the royal family now, he may not be able to guarantee that they will all be left, but they will all be killed, I am afraid that no one can say that he Gu Xuan is not, at most there will be any conflict of interest in the future, there may be officials in the court who deliberately mention this matter, criticizing him for this will anger the people of the country and create difficulties for the pacification work of the imperial court, but with this merit of destroying the country in hand, who can really shake his status, after all, if this sentence is said in reverse, he slaughtered the Duanmu family, and it can be regarded as putting an end to people with intentions to use them as a guise to do things against the government。

One mouth, two skins, turning up and down are all reasonable, the same thing, it depends on what you say, now although the other party said that he wanted to pass the letter to Emperor Daliang, it is inconvenient for him to dispose of them at will, this is a rule with no room for him, but then he took the initiative to point out a clear way, and clearly said that he wanted to pass on the book to his father and emperor, ask for credit for them, and said that it was not difficult to keep them in the same vein, and he was obviously willing to take the initiative to help them.

It doesn't matter what the other party wants, whether it is really abiding by the rules, or whether it is an ulterior motive and using them to achieve other goals, but even if it is just such an unclear promise and guidance, Duanmu Pingyi is also very satisfied, and the people are under the eaves, which has to bow their heads, and their Duanmu clan has the most no choice now, so he immediately bowed down in front of Gu Xuan's horse, touched the ground with his head, and said very respectfully:" The criminal minister Duanmu Pingyi, on behalf of my Duanmu family, is willing to surrender to the great cool Tianwei, willing to obey the orders of the prince, thank you for the prince's guidance, the criminal minister will go to get the jade seal and the edict for the prince!"

took away the jade seal that symbolizes the inheritance and orthodoxy of a country and embodies the foundation of the country's fortunes, and then stamps it with an edict of surrender that spreads to the world, then as long as Duanmu Shuofeng, the real patriotic emperor, does not return, then this is equivalent to the official death of the country, or even if he rushes back in time, the national fortunes of the country are almost on the verge of collapse, and once the people's hearts are in chaos, it is difficult for him to remedy it back.

A dynasty that has been inherited for hundreds of years, there have been more than ten generations of monarchs, tens of millions of people, and it has become a real history in this way, in front of their own eyes, as the former patriotic people, they did not choose to stand with their own country at the last moment, coexist, but discussed with themselves, how to sell it to the enemy at a good price, in exchange for an opportunity to let their own interests not be damaged, this in front of the Duanmu family, even if these old foxes are thick-skinned, they are still a little embarrassed at this time。

Gu Xuan was too lazy to care about these things, he had already dealt with this matter, so he didn't have to go to the palace to waste time, he rode on his horse, quickly glanced at everyone, and immediately turned his head and said: "Let's go, Xie Situ, and all the adults, what we didn't make clear before, we can make it clear this time." ”

The people of the Duanmu clan had all gotten up and left to run errands at this time, and when the heads of the other families heard this, their expressions suddenly turned grim, and they secretly said that it was time to discuss how to deal with their gang, one by two, and the look on their faces suddenly became a little ugly, but fortunately it was at night, even if there were torches around them, it didn't seem very clear.

The same thing, just now when they saw others being dealt with here, they were still a little gloating on the side, but now that the matter has fallen on themselves, they really can't laugh, this is the root of human inferiority.

In the end, it was because they were completely unpredictable about the other party's mind, although they could probably hear it just now, this person was more or less obedient, and he would not say that the lion opened his mouth or killed the ring, but this time they did not take the initiative to open the city gate and welcome the other party in, but passively became a prisoner, so in their opinion, except for this Xie family, they may have to bleed a lot this time to save their lives.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Xie Shi, who was still looking calm and light, standing quietly on the side, and secretly said that this person is really the scum of their family, that is to do everything, it can't be said that it is to take advantage of this opportunity to suppress or even annex them by the hands of the people of Liangguo, just to fulfill his Xie family!

It's really ruthless, so poisonous thoughts, worthy of being the great Situ of the country, it can be said that there is a bad heart hidden in his bones, a natural bad seed, he was really blind earlier, and he didn't see this person's ambition, but now he is passive!

Xie Shi didn't look over there, in fact, he could roughly guess what was in the hearts of these people, after all, he was also with them all day long, how could he not know what kind of urine they were in this group, they all looked at people badly, and they have always figured out others with the worst thoughts, and it was said that it was indispensable to defend against people, and they were willing to sacrifice themselves for the interests of their respective families, and even sacrifice others.

It is precisely because of this that as a son of a patriotic family, he hit it off with Gu Cang who ordered him in secret, and willingly became a chess piece buried in his defense of the country, and defected to Liang Guo at a critical time, and fulfilled Gu Xuan's work of destroying the country, all of which is actually for a great, lofty ideal, to overthrow the original, dark order, change the present, ignorant world, build a better future in his dreams, and achieve the "Datong" most respected by Confucianism!

Gu Cang once said to Gu Xuan, no matter what way you use to bind your allies, or subordinates, the other party is likely to rebel, if you buy him with money, someone will naturally pay a higher price for him to betray you in the future, if you use your status to suppress him, one day you lose power, he will naturally go faster than anyone else, maybe you will have to turn around and step on you hard before stopping, only with the same, lofty ideals to communicate with others, then the other party will never be able to betray, because what you do is what he wants to do, only by becoming this kind of fellow believer, can you truly enjoy that kind of intimate absolute trust。

Of course, he thanked the truth that this time it was not a black cauldron, in fact, without his help in secret, it would be impossible for these mediocre talents of the Huang Tianjiao to succeed so easily, so he was resented by the people of the family, and he accepted it calmly, anyway, he didn't care.

Inevitable that something would happen, Gu Xuan left a full three thousand people alone, together with Lan Yunxuan, who he trusted the most on this trip, to guard this city gate here, so that no matter what happened, at least, he could withdraw from the city and not be beaten by the door.

After instructing the matter here, Gu Xuan took the rest of the group with confidence, followed by Xie Shi, who was leading the way at the front, and walked towards the Xie family's mansion in a majestic manner.

Not to mention that these people in the capital of the country, arrogant and domineering, are compared to the powerless ordinary people, in fact, they have really been on the battlefield, and there are few who have seen blood, and they are capable of bullying the weak, but compared with the Rakshasa warriors who have human lives on their hands, their eyes are different from them, and there is a fierce atmosphere everywhere, they don't even dare to look at each other, and they all silently shrank to the side.

After walking for a long time, after passing through several sections of the street, they finally arrived at their destination, not to mention the lights in the house, the residents on the road did not dare to send out any movement easily, they all hid at home and silently muttered "God bless", tonight's capital, it was extraordinarily silent.

It seems that Gu Xuan, who has grown up in the imperial city since he was a child, has seen I don't know how many Zhu Zi Gongqing, the nobles of the wealthy family, and when he saw the decorations at the door of the Xie family's mansion, he knew that this was not an ordinary family, so he turned his head to the back and instructed in a very mellow Rakshasa language: "Go in two thousand people, search well, occupy all the checkpoints, if it is not necessary, do not hurt people, and the rest of the people, stay put!"

As the commander of the first army, where will he easily get into danger, it is only right to let his subordinates go in to explore the way first, Xie Shi did not object to this, let alone take the initiative to provoke the relationship between him and Gu Cang, after all, this kind of thing is completely unnecessary, since he has no ghost in his heart, he naturally doesn't care if the other party does this, but it inevitably alarmed the people in the house, and he was afraid of any bad conflict, so he took the initiative to call the old housekeeper in the house to guide the way.

The old man is already at the age when the loess is buried to the neck, he has been in the Xie family's mansion all his life, he has seen too many big people come and go, in his long life, he has also experienced too many things, and his life has had several ups and downs, so although he is also a little frightened by this group of black and black "people", it is much better than the poor appearance of others who can't even stand up straight.

Everyone else also looked at Gu Xuan secretly for a long time, and they all knew that this master was not so young as he looked on the surface, in fact, he was very old-fashioned, and he spoke well, if he looked at him with a little contempt before, I am afraid that he would suffer a big loss, but I don't know how such a character was kicked out of their Liangguo capital, whether it was the other princes who were better, or in fact, His Majesty the Emperor of Liangguo favored this person more, it was for protection and tempering, so he deliberately let this person leave.

I have to say that they have been pondering all their lives, and they like to ponder, these are completely their subconscious thoughts, of course, if there is no such exquisite mind, they can't think a little more about everything, make a little more preparation, and they can't become the head of the family, survive in this kind of wolf surrounded by wolves, and they can also seek benefits for the family.

Gu Xuan turned around again and said indifferently to everyone: "Don't go in, everyone, it's enough for each family to send a representative, and the rest will stay here and don't move around." ”

Knowing that this is taking the hostages, but the people of each family do not dare to have opinions, after all, who has more people, who has the knife in his hand is sharper, who has the right to speak, the situation is stronger than people, they can only stand in place with a sneering expression, as for who will go in, who will wait here, a few eyes can decide things, there is no need to speak, open but show timidity, not good.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that someone finally came out inside, and it was a soldier under his command, the eyes of the two sides met, and Gu Xuan said loudly: "Okay, let's go in with this king." ”

After that, he should hold the knife first, flick his waist, and step over the very high road in front of him, symbolizing the high threshold of the big family that is different from the ordinary people, as if the master here, raised his head and chest, and strode in, and the others saw this, lowered their heads and glanced at each other, and quickly followed.

There is the old butler of the Xie family in front of him to guide the way, and there are Rakshasa warriors holding knives standing in the surrounding corridors, all of them are majestic, where do the others dare to make a mistake, and they shuttled all the way for a while, and finally walked to the largest main hall in the entire Xie Mansion.

Gu Xuan was the first to walk in, and then walked directly to the center of the seat, sitting on a large chair symbolizing the main seat, and then stretched out his hand and said to everyone with a dignified bearing: "Please sit down!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the heads of the families suddenly looked a lot better, and being able to have a place to sit showed that the other party was not the kind of arrogant person who had no scruples, and he didn't think about killing them all, otherwise let them all stand now, so although the person in front of him was a little more difficult in comparison, he was still half a "fellow believer", and he could still sit down together and do a good job.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

"Thank you for the seat!"

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Everyone hurriedly thanked them, and then sat down according to their respective statuses, which actually did not need to be negotiated, each other's hearts were known, if not, they would sit down directly, but they would not have wronged anyone, and they really had to feel uncomfortable, and they did not dare to attack at this time, so the bottom position was quickly seated, and there was a redundancy, and it was quickly moved to the side by the Rakshasa warriors on both sides.

Gu Xuan sat on the big chair, his momentum became more and more impressive, he glanced left and right, and then spoke: " Okay, I think you also know who this king is, this king doesn't say much, although you have delayed this king for a lot of time, so that this king is very unhappy, but we have the rules of our big Liang, and we will not wait for you, as long as you swear allegiance, and then can help us stabilize the people's hearts, then it is not a success, but a meritorious, in the future we will become a family, I Da Liang will not be stingy to reward meritorious people, this is also related to the development of your respective families in the future, so you have to weigh it today. ”

Of course, if a family wants to develop, it is absolutely inseparable from money, and if you want to make money, you have to develop a caravan and do business, but if the Liangguo side does not speak, or is unanimously excluded by the original wealthy lords of the Liangguo, it is difficult for them to make a difference in the future, so they must get the support of the Liangguo court, in other words, their attitude today, to a large extent, will determine the development of the family behind them for more than ten years, or even decades.
