Chapter 8: Rivalry (8)

"It's not Jingu Liang!" Shen Jiayue, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Tang Yunqi, the squire of the Ministry of War, said in unison. This turn of events made them put their hearts in their stomachs. As long as Gu Jin was not a traitor, they dared to boldly support King Xuan.

"It's not Qimen who kills Luo!" many veteran officials also concluded.

Through the two competitions just now, many civil and military ministers who were originally optimistic about He Xiaoduo unconsciously began to favor He Zhanxi. After all, the strength shown by his side is indeed slightly better than He Xiaoduo's side.

Xuan Wang He Zhanxi was overjoyed in his heart.

He was not happy to confirm that Gu Jin was not Jingu Liang, on the contrary, he was even more convinced that Gu Jin was Jingu Liang.

It's just that Jin Gu Liang is meticulous, and in order not to be seen by others, he not only wore a human skin mask, but also ruined his appearance in advance. Jin Gu Liang was disfigured, which is equivalent to death without proof, and no one can say that he harbored the thief. As for Jin Gu Liang deliberately lurking around him, what he wanted, that is something that needs to be clarified later. Now he just needs to help Ryo Kanaya continue to deny.

Although Wen Yanxin still believed that Gu Jin was Jingu Liang, he couldn't find more evidence to expose the lie for a while, so he was helpless.

Lu Jia, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, looked at He Xiaoduo, and saw that she didn't say anything, so he said loudly: "In the second competition between General Daizhong and General Gujin, both sides have their own strengths, and it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, even if it is a tie. Next, prepare for the third competition!"

Dai Zhong hated and withdrew from the hospital.

He Xiaoduo moved a stool, stepped forward and said, "General Dai, please rest!"

Dai Zhong shook his head and said, "I'm out of the way." Ryo Kanaya was more seriously injured than me. It's just that if I continue to fight, it's hard for me to win. ”

He Xiaoduo frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you sure that Gu Jin is Jingu Liang?"

"That's right!" Dai Zhong took a breath and affirmed: "More than ten years ago, Jin Gu Liang led the rebels to make a rebellion and made a lot of trouble, I have fought him directly, and it is impossible to admit my mistake. ”

"So, the fourth uncle really colluded with the traitors?" He Xiaoduo thought thoughtfully. Maybe at this point, you can make a fuss and make an army of King Xuan?

Wen Yanxin said in a low voice: "Princess, you don't know anything. Eighteen years ago, there was a major incident in the palace, which made the thunder angry and angry, and killed many people. Only a very small number of people know the inside story. The subordinates are fortunate to have heard a thing or two. In fact, the reason why the princess can become a princess today is also related to this major event. ”

When he said this, he used the skill of voice impairment, and only He Xiaoduo, Dai Zhong, Long Yuandong, He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Ding and a few people within two meters of his body could hear it.

He Xiaoduo was surprised: "What the hell is going on?"

"As far as I know, I also had a son, but he was stolen from the palace before he was born a full moon. The emperor lost his son and secretly sent capable personnel to track it down, judging from various clues, this matter had a lot to do with the rebel leader at the time, Jin Gu Liang. It's a pity that Jingu Liang's soldiers were defeated and fled, disappeared, and no one knew his whereabouts anymore. So the matter became an unsolved case. Wen Yan thought for a while, and then said: "The emperor's son, whose milk name is He Guoguo, is about a month or two younger than the princess. If it weren't for the loss of the dragon son, the emperor would not be so disheartened and passive now. The princess will not succeed to the emperor's name. ”

He Xiaoduo glanced at He Dali intentionally or unintentionally, and muttered: "I have also heard about this matter, but after all, it is just chasing the wind and shadows, and I don't know it in detail." ”

Wen Yanxin also looked at He Dali, and continued: "Jin Gu Liang has revealed his deeds now, even if we don't trouble him, the emperor will not let him go." The emperor let him go, and Prince Xuan will not let him go. So if nothing else, Ryo Kanaya will soon abscond in order to save his life. For the country, it is a big crime for King Xuan to harbor traitors, but from a certain point of view, it is precisely because of King Xuan's acceptance that Jin Gu Liang will expose his identity, which provides an important clue for the emperor to continue to investigate the case of losing his son, so for the emperor personally, King Xuan is not only innocent, but also meritorious. We only grasp this point, and we can't bring down King Xuan. ”

He Dali was inexplicably looked at by He Xiaoduo and Wen Yanxin, and muttered: "What are you all staring at me for? I'm not the dragon who threw away!"

He Xiaoduo ignored He Dali's complaints, thought about it, and said, "Uncle Wen, put aside the matter of Jin Gu Liang for the time being, let's secretly send a few capable people to watch him, don't let him slip away." Anyway, the game is still going on, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty want to see a winner and loser between me and the fourth uncle. Now in the two games, we have one loss and one draw, and the third game must be won to get back to a draw. The people on the fourth uncle's side are more powerful than the other, will he still have unknown masters in this third game? Are we sure to win?"

Wen Yanxin was silent for a moment and said, "The ninth-order soul killing Luo is not a cabbage, grab a handful. It is already very surprising that Prince Xuan was able to collect the three souls of Bai Ziqian, Jin Gu Liang, and Baili Mu to kill Luo. Taking a step back, if he had other masters to help, we wouldn't have been able to do anything. General Long, General He, and General Xiong have not recovered from their serious injuries, General Yun is in a coma in bed, you and the chief of the five mansions, Li Gaotang, the chief of the right guard, Liu Yichen, and the chief of the left guard, Fan Ye, can't take action in person, and the rest of the generals are even worse in strength, so they can only make it difficult for Zhong Ding and the general to fight hard!"

He Xiaoduo looked at Zhong Dinghe without worry, and advised: "Pipixiang, you can't do anything, don't be reluctant." Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood. Don't hurt your own essence because of a moment of righteous indignation. Let's take a long-term view. These words were heartfelt and everyone was moved.

Although Zhong Dinghe knew that now was not the time to be a good man, he felt really uncomfortable being looked down upon, his blood was surging, his folds trembled a few times, and he said in a rough voice: "I may not necessarily win, but I will definitely not lose!

When he was at the peak of the sixth order and the seventh order, he had a head-on confrontation with the three murderous sects of the Soul Conjuring Sect and the ninth-order junior soul master Dugu You, although he was still the target of the suppression and beating at that time, but now he has been promoted to the eighth order, and in the face of the ninth-order junior soul master, even if he is not sure of victory, he also has six points of confidence.

On King Xuan's side, he first stabilized Jingu Liang with words, and then according to the plan, he sent the prestigious Baili Mu.

At the beginning of the third game, the names of both sides were announced.

Zhong Dinghe, the eighty-first level defense system soul saint, earth attribute, martial soul skin elephant.

Baili Mu, ninety-three level Min Gong Department Soul Killing Luo, water attribute, martial soul black-billed crane.

The difference in soul power cultivation is 12 levels!

Watching the civil and military, there was an uproar.
