Shangguan Xiu frowned and said, "I have to go back to Zhenjun." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Huh?"

"My brothers are still waiting for me to go back in Zhenjun. ”

"Shangguan Xiu, would you rather be a battalion lieutenant in Zhenjun than serve as a corps commander in the Central Army?" Tang Ling looked at him in disbelief.

If Shangguan Xiu insisted on returning to Zhenjun because he had counterintentions, then he could sit back and watch himself be killed or captured, which would be more beneficial to him, if he had no objections, then she really couldn't guess the purpose of his insistence on returning to Zhenjun.

Shangguan Xiu said quietly: "A companion is like a tiger! I think we should be far away from each other, so that it is good for everyone, as the so-called out of sight and out of mind, I am in Zhenjun, Your Majesty is in Shangjing, I don't need to look at Your Majesty's face every day, and Your Majesty doesn't need to see me every day, why not?"

Tang Ling was stunned and giggled again. After a while, she restrained her laughter and said, "Shangguan Xiu, I don't think you're a nasty ghost, but it's true that you hate me in your heart. ”

Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and muttered, "Say whatever you want." ”

Tang Ling sighed lightly and said, "There is really no trustworthy person by my side, otherwise, I would not beg you to stay in Shangjing." ”

Have you begged me?" Shangguan Xiu muttered in his heart, he shook his head, and said with a straight face: "I must return to Zhenjun, regroup, and fight to the death with the people of Ningnan." If I don't avenge the fiasco in Xiongzhen, I will never give up!"

Tang Ling lay on his back and pursed his lips disapplausively. The two were walking forward, and in front of them, in the dust, a large group of men and horses were coming. At a long distance, you can see the banner of the wind army in the team.

Shangguan Xiu hadn't yet identified which wind army was coming from the opposite side, and a large group of cavalry had already rushed over from the front team.

A general led by him rushed to Shangguan Xiu's front on his horse, and saw that the person he was carrying behind was Tang Ling, the general's face changed suddenly, the gun in his hand leaned forward, pointed at Shangguan Xiu's throat, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let go of Your Majesty immediately, otherwise I will ......."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Ling behind Shangguan Xiu poked his head out, glanced at the general, and said, "General Cui, he is Shangguan Xiu." ”

The general glanced at Shangguan Xiu, then hurriedly withdrew his spear, turned over his horse, hurriedly came to Shangguan Xiu's side, stepped forward to salute, and said, "The last general, Cui Qing, see Your Majesty!"

Tang Ling patted Shangguan Xiu's shoulder and motioned for him to put himself down. Tang Ling stood on the ground, her ankle was still in pain, and she raised her arm to Shangguan Xiu again. The latter sighed and took her arm.

She straightened her waist, waved her hand, and said, "General Cui is flat." ”

The general named Cui Qing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty!" He belonged to the First Army of the Central Army and was one of the vanguard officers of the First Army.

After getting up, his face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he said, "After hearing the news that there were assassins in the imperial town and His Majesty was kidnapped, he immediately led the army to come. The last general is too late to save the car, and please forgive your sins!"

While speaking, Cui Qing arched his hand and bowed again.

Tang Ling smiled indifferently and said, "In the Imperial Town, there are indeed assassins and traitors, but I was not held hostage, it was Shangguan Xiu who helped me escape from the Imperial Town!"

"I see!" Hearing this, Cui Qing turned his head to look at Shangguan Xiu, arched his hand with a smile, and said: "At a critical moment, Your Majesty can get the help of Lord Shangguan and turn the danger into a disaster, which is really a blessing for Your Majesty and a blessing for me to be a good wind!"

Shangguan Xiu's title is only battalion captain, even if he is the chief general of the Zhenjun Army, in the eyes of the generals of the Central Army, he is still a local army, and he will not be taken seriously at all.

But now that he has the merit of saving the driver, it will be different, even Cui Qing, the pioneer officer of the First Legion, has a much more polite attitude towards Shangguan Xiu.

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "General Cui is serious, it is the duty of my generation to save His Majesty from fire and water. ”

He will also say polite scenes. In private, he can not regard Tang Ling as an emperor, and he can disrespect her, but in public, Shangguan Xiu still knows how to be in a good way.

Cui Qing turned his gaze and looked at Tang Ling again, of course, he didn't ignore her injured leg, he asked with concern, "Your Majesty is injured?"

"Your Majesty just twisted your ankle, it's fine!" Shangguan Xiu answered.

Cui Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Tang Ling asked, "Is General Luo here?"

The general she said was named Luo Guang, and he was the commander of the First Army. Cui Qing's face was straight, and he bowed down and said, "Luo Shuai is in the Chinese army." ”

"Let him come to me at once. ”

"Obey!" Cui Qing agreed, explained to the deputy general beside him, and quickly found Luo Guang.

The predecessor of the first legion of the Wind Country was the direct army of the Wind Country, since the establishment of the army, it is a legion under the direct leadership of the Wind King, and later the Wind ** Regiment was restructured, and the direct army also became the first army of the Wind Country, ranking first among the legions.

Luo Guang, as the commander of the First Legion, is naturally not an ordinary person. Needless to say, Luo Guang has been familiar with military books and tactics since he was a child, and at the age of twenty, he was already a brave and good general on the battlefield.

Shangguan Xiu had heard of Luo Guang's name for a long time, and it was the first time he had seen him in person.

Luo Guang is not very old, he is also in his early thirties, his skin is dark, wheat-colored, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance is dignified, revealing the majesty of a military general, coupled with his golden armor and red cloak, he looks even more majestic and extraordinary.

Seeing Tang Ling, Luo Guang hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully intervened to give a salute, and said: "The last general is in armor, it is inconvenient to perform the great gift of the monarch and the minister, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive your sins!"

Tang Ling waved his hand, and said with a sinking face: "General Luo, I order you to immediately lead the soldiers of your headquarters to take over the defense of the imperial town, strictly investigate the assassins and rebels in the city, and not let anyone go!

Luo Guang's body was shocked, and he bowed down and said, "The last general will obey the order!" As he spoke, he straightened up, looked at Shangguan Xiu, who was supporting Tang Ling, and asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, is this ......?"

Cui Qing came to Luo Guang's side and explained in a low voice: "This is Lord Shangguan Xiu, His Majesty was assassinated in the city, and it was Lord Shangguan who helped His Majesty get out. ”

Luo Guang's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he looked at Shangguan Xiu again. At the same time, Shangguan Xiu was also looking at him with a smile, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and they both nodded to each other. Through the spiritual pressure on Luo Guang's body, Shangguan Xiu could feel that Luo Guang's cultivation was extremely high, at least not in the Spirit God Realm, but Luo Guang failed to feel the existence of spiritual pressure in Shangguan Xiu's skills, there are only two explanations, either he has not cultivated Lingwu, or, his Lingwu has been cultivated to the point of returning to the basics, and he can successfully save His Majesty from the assassin's knife, obviously it will not be the former. With a secret sound in his heart, Luo Guang couldn't help but take a deep look at Shangguan Xiu again, and kept him firmly in his heart.

Then, the First Army began to take over the full defense of the town.

The local armies defending the city were all removed, and the central army defended the eight gates and four walls of the imperial town, and then hordes of central troops poured into the imperial town, going from house to house searching for assassins and rebels.

Letting the first legion enter the imperial town was Tang Ling's first order, and her second order was to raid the house and Jingping's house.

She was assassinated at the engagement banquet between the Jing family and the Gu family, and both of them naturally could not escape their involvement, but because Shangguan Xiu interceded first, Tang Ling's anger did not burn to the Gu family, but she did not let go of the Jing family.

In fact, Tang Ling also took this opportunity to play on the topic, no matter whether the Jing family was related to the assassin traitor or not, she didn't want to miss this rare opportunity.

Once the son of heaven is a courtier, this wise saying also has a gradual process, it is impossible for the new monarch to remove all the officials of the country as soon as he ascends the throne, so the whole country will be chaotic, and it needs to be removed step by step.

Jingping belongs to the ministers of the first emperor, naturally not Tang Ling's descendant, and Jingping is the county guard of Anjun, with high power and vital importance, without catching his conclusive handle, Tang Ling can't move him, but has to try to appease him and stabilize the situation in Anjun. Participating in the engagement banquet of the Jing family's son was actually Tang Ling's means of appeasement.

And now, the opportunity to bring down Jingping has finally come, the crime of assassinating the king, there is no greater sin in the sky, no matter who it is, as long as it sticks a little bit, it will be impossible to protect people's heads. Tang Ling waved his pen on the holy decree, and he didn't even try it, and ordered the Jing family to be beheaded.

As for her confidant and favorite general, the general commander of the Praetorian Guard, was seriously injured and captured, Tang Ling sentenced him to Ling Chi death, as for the Praetorian Guard, all those who were on errands that day, generals above the rank of captain, were all beheaded, the captain and the soldiers with him were all dismissed, and the vacancies in the Praetorian Guard were filled by elite soldiers selected by the First Legion.

This assassination made Tang Ling ruthless, even for his cronies, he also launched a purge.

How Tang Ling disposes of the relevant personnel, it has nothing to do with Shangguan Xiu, and he doesn't bother to intervene, as for the Jing family, he knows it in his heart, and it has little to do with the assassin's betrayal, but Tang Ling is obviously taking advantage of the topic to play, and he wants to take this opportunity to place her henchmen in the important position of the county guard of Anjun, and the Jing family is beheaded all over the house, so he doesn't have to worry about the marriage between Gu Qingling and Jing Hong, Shangguan Xiu is naturally happy to watch from the wall.

What is beneficial to himself, as long as a fool will stand up against obstruction, Shangguan Xiu is far from being noble to the level of a saint, and he has never thought that he has ever been noble. In Shangguan Xiu, there is the side of selfishness and self-interest, and there is also the side of the Shangguan family that is loyal to the Fengguo.

Tang Ling set off a bloody purge in Yuzhen, and the Gu family, which was directly related to the assassins, was naturally on the cusp.
