Chapter 51: The Truth (2)
"Now that you know, stop pretending. Lao Xiangguo sent you, right? ”
Yang Zhaoquan's voice contained a slight boredom and fatigue, and when he raised his eyes again, there was nothing left in his eyes except calm.
Gan Shouyuan closed the folding fan and paced between the candlesticks. He picked up the brass scissors and cut off the curly black wick in the wick, and the fire grew brighter, and the warm light of the candle flame jumped on his face, making the shadow behind him darker and darker.
"The emperor is wise, and the old minister is not stupid. Alienation, seizure of power, exile, your two brothers have a good show. ”
"Although you and the Holy Lord are not like a monolith, it is not as if one party has just taken the throne, and you have to fight to the death with the other party, not to mention, when he is still using you."
Yang Zhaoquan raised his hand to stop him.
"True or false, what to mention it."
Gan Shouyuan smiled even more, and the folding fan he closed lightly rested on the back of Yang Zhaoquan's hand, and gently pressed his hand.
"Eh, that's a bad statement, it's interesting to say it all."
"The old Xiangguo wants to go to you quickly, and the emperor is not ignorant. But you are his only backing, how can he be stupid enough to get rid of you at this time? You are out and about leading the war, and you think you are in control. But do you know that Lao Xiangguo's henchmen have already strung up Bai Di people, and they will get rid of you on the day the mutual market opens? The day of your high-spirited victory was supposed to be the time when your head landed. ”
Gan Shouyuan tilted his head lightly and paused slightly. Looking at Yang Zhaoquan's expression, it was like a wild cat looking at a prey struggling in the palm of his hand.
It's a pity that Yang Zhaoquan is not a qualified prey, his face is like a waveless ancient well, and Gan Shouyuan is not interested.
"In the Northern Xinjiang Army, how can there be his meticulous work."
Yang Zhaoquan opened his mouth, and the voice he made was not like his own.
"Your Highness is indispensable, you have never been close to your subordinates, and there are people in the army who are dissatisfied with your style, how easy it is to rebel. Although you are famous, you rely on your bloody military exploits and the prestige of the emperor, not the hearts of the people. You must not know all this news, right? ”
Gan Shouyuan was happy, Yang Zhaoquan called for wind and rain for nearly ten years, and he didn't want to be with them, he had only seen Yang Zhaoquan's back, when could he say such a word to him, let alone blatantly say sarcasm.
"You don't know, but the emperor knows. He can't bear to let you die. borrowed your marriage with the Qin family, and called you back urgently, saving you from the disaster of blood and light. ”
"But what is the capital good place to be? The eyes and ears of the old Xiangguo are everywhere, and the emperor can only exile you in the name of collaborating with the enemy, and secretly Xu His Royal Highness King Yan will send you to his entourage in order to save your life. ”
"Brotherly love!"
Gan Shouyuan's folding fan hit the palm of his hand and crackled.
"You are a member of the old Xiangguo, but you speak for the emperor." Yang Zhaoquan naturally dusted off his cuffs, and his face was not different.
"If he wants to get rid of me, how can you disobey his command and spare me my life? Aren't you afraid of the old Xiangguo's blame? ”
Gan Shouyuan fiddled with the folding fan and looked aside.
"People, there is value, and naturally there is life. If it has no value, it is not as good as grass mustard. It is the same with me and with Your Highness. ”
"Then why did you keep me?" Yang Zhaoquan looked into his eyes.
"Your Highness's talent is like a pearl, how can it be dusty?"
The emperor removed the dissidents in the army, and left Yang Zhaoquan with a large personal soldier, which was arranged in the Liangzhou realm, and no one could be dispatched except Yang Zhaoquan himself.
Lao Xiangguo has mercenaries from the south in his hands, and Yang Zhaoquan's hands are not uncommon, and the emperor has more than one hole card in his hand. is Gan Shouyuan himself, conspiring with Lao Xiangguo at this time, as if he is plotting with a tiger, and needs Yang Zhaoquan's life-saving talisman to seek his own stability.
There is an army in hand, which can be attacked and defended. It's better than relying on one's own connections among the children of the family to live a down-to-earth life.
"The emperor can't rely on it, His Royal Highness should know better than me in his heart."
Gan Shouyuan's folding fan put on Yang Zhaoquan's calf, and his words meant something.
"How jealous he is of you, don't you know it? Now it's a pair of legs, and after returning home with a big victory, it may be a life. ”
Yang Zhaoquan clenched his hands.
"It's not the right time for your leg to get sick, the heavenly family is poisonous, and it will be difficult for me to find the antidote, and it will be difficult to go into battle in person in the future." Gan Shouyuan shook his head and sighed.
"But for Wen'er's infatuation with you, it can be regarded as a counterdose. I don't want my little sister to hurt. ”
Yang Zhaoquan swung away the folding fan that he kept hitting his calf, and the leg that should have been tactile was like wood at this time.
Gan Shouyuan laughed dryly, and he was not bored.
"I asked for very little, but two. First, marrying my Wen'er fulfilled her wish for many years. The second ......"
He dragged out the last note, leaned over, and scraped his sideburns against Yang Zhaoquan's shoulder.
"Your Highness can understand the mystery of these four words?"
Gan Shouyuan straightened up.
"After the matter is completed, Gan guarantees with his life that His Royal Highness will enjoy the same scenery and glory as before. Is it to assist your royal brother, fight for that bit of precarious fame in the blood and fire, or follow me effortlessly and enjoy peace. Your Highness thinks about it yourself. ”
Yang Zhaoquan's black hair was scattered like a waterfall, covering his cheeks, and he also covered the expression on his face, until Gan Shouyuan's footsteps disappeared outside the door, and he didn't move.
……………………………………………
Although it was only a few hundred meters away from the city gate, Lai Ge led Xuan Yi to poke behind her, without the slightest intention of entering the city.
"You're not going in?"
Qin Shumei was a little embarrassed, although she had no problem sitting up, but there was still pain in her chest and abdomen, not to mention the bruises on her legs that had not healed, if she came down and walked into the city, it was estimated that she would have to move until the evening.
"The relationship between Dayin and Northern Xinjiang has always been incompatible, although it has been much better in recent years, but if you rush into the city like this, I'm afraid it's still not good."
Lygo removed the rest of the cart and gave it to the crowd to tie them to their horses.
"Da Yu will accompany you into the city alone, help you find a husband, and when you are reunited with your husband, it will not be too late for us to ask for compensation."
Come to Gora and Da Yu to recognize Qin Shumei's face. It was a tall, strong, shirtless man, and apart from him, the adult men in this group were all dressed in Yin costumes, so he was particularly recognizable.
Although dressed in a national style, Da Yu is the Event who looks most like the Yin people in the team, according to the mysterious gossip, his ancestors were Yin people who fled to Evente. Several generations of genetic fusion have not completely erased the traces of his blood relationship that once belonged to Da Yin.
Xuan Wei took advantage of Lai Ge to tidy up the team and glanced at Qin Shumei.
"Da Yu, you can be careful, he hates himself the most in his life for looking like Yin Ren, if there is anyone in the team who hates you the most, it is definitely him."
Isn't this the reason why the two devils are more ruthless than the devils?
When the emperor was in his prime, he had a bad relationship with all ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang, and Da Yin and northern Xinjiang became fire and water, and the people on both sides of the Pingtong also looked at each other like fighting cocks.
Growing up in this situation since childhood, Da Yu, an Event with Yin's face, is estimated to be very unhappy among his companions, in order to show his loyalty to the clan, he naturally works harder than others, and his evil feelings towards Da Yin in his heart will be stronger.
Qin Shumei looked over, the fierce god in Xuan's mouth was awkwardly changing into Yin Ren's clothes at this time, and his reluctant appearance didn't look like he was wearing clothes, and it was nothing more than changing skin.
Her back was cold, and Lai Ge specially selected such a person to accompany her into the city, and I am afraid that this trip to find people will not be easy.
