Chapter 131: Lonely Walk
Gu Lingxu was furious when he returned to his house. The utensils on the table were swept away, and he sat down at the desk in a dull manner, without saying a word.
After a long time, he seemed to have made some decision, when he changed his clothes, picked up his sword, and just wanted to go out, he met Qin Qinghong, who came with money.
"Where are you going?" Qin Qinghong looked at Gu Lingxu, who was dressed in black and had a turban wrapped around his head, and the whole person was startled. She raised her eyebrows, and guessed something.
"You don't care." Gu Ling pursed his lips.
Qin Qinghong hurriedly grabbed Gu Lingxu's sleeve, "You calm down, you say I'm crazy every day, where are you better than me now?"
"Let go."
"I don't." Qin Qinghong looked at Gu Lingxu worriedly with a pair of beautiful eyes, "Do you want to be brave?"
Gu Lingxu dressed up like this, and it was clear that he was going to kill someone.
As for who to kill, it's not hard to guess. But the problem is, if Guan Zhi was so easy to kill, then Guan Zhi would have died a long time ago, and where would he stay alive to this day. She remembered that when she saw Gu Lingxu for the first time, Gu Lingxu looked like she was hurt.
Guan Zhi should not be underestimated, Gu Lingxu single-handedly did not kill Guan Zhi at that time, and folded himself in.
"I'm alone, that's enough." Gu Ling said angrily.
"Be sober." Qin Qinghong shouted angrily, she looked at Gu Lingxu deadly, "If you are really enough alone, then why didn't you go before, didn't you want to?" If you insist on going your own way, something big will happen sooner or later."
"You're here to persuade me?" Gu Lingxu sneered, "I have my own way."
"What if you lose? Where is the awe-inspiring righteousness that thou didst persuade me?" Qin Qinghong said coldly.
Gu Ling's expression was stunned, and there was a moment of hesitation on his face.
Guan Zhi, Guan Zhi is a heart disease for him. Guan Zhi is the one who killed his father, and the one who caused the mountains and rivers of Northern Qi to almost fall into the hands of foreigners. He hated him deeply.
He thought that he could take this opportunity to eradicate Guan Zhi, but who knew that Guan Zhi actually had nothing to do!
Nothing at all!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter has something to do with Guan Zhi, is Xiao Zeqing a fool? Even if there is no evidence, it is not difficult to see. Su Changtai has always been a lackey of Guan Zhi, and this matter was said to be done by Su Changtai without knowing Guan Zhi, and only a fool would believe it.
What if there is no evidence? The eunuch is just a close attendant of the Son of Heaven, and the official position of life and death is all in Xiao Zeqing's thoughts. He can take away the official position of Guan Zhi with one sentence, and he can give Guan Zhi death by finding a random reason.
But he just doesn't, he just wants to cover up! So what's the use of him submitting to the court, it's better to rise up and set himself up as a king.
"I won't lose." He has military power, even if he kills Guan Zhi in a righteous and bright way, the court will not dare to kill him, at most it will reduce his power.
He secretly killed Guan Zhi, and without evidence, the court couldn't help him. Moreover, even if he really killed Guan Zhi and was arrested, as long as he escaped in time, the imperial court would only turn big things into small things and small things in order to prevent him from rebelling. Of course, if he can escape.
"What if you die?" Qin Qinghong didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in Gu Lingxu's heart, and she pointed out the one that Gu Lingxu hadn't thought about at all.
"How is that possible?" Gu Lingxu chuckled.
"If it weren't for me and that girl, you'd have died long ago, what's impossible." Qin Qinghong said coldly sarcastically, and she pointed out the disadvantages again, "What if you haven't killed the person you want to kill, and you're dead? So what should you do? What should your subordinates do? Wouldn't someone like that take this opportunity to suppress all your subordinates? Won't you take this opportunity to re-lure the wolf into the house? I don't care about that, but don't you care about it the most? Are you just a hypocrite who only talks empty words?"
Just because she doesn't care about the world doesn't mean she doesn't understand the world. Guan knows that such a person who will repay him, if he has no Gu Lingxu, let alone a fear, he will definitely not let go of Gu Lingxu's old department easily. How many people will die at that time - she doesn't care about this, but she knows that Gu Lingxu cares.
Sure enough, Gu Ling
The void look was shaken again, and he understood these pros and cons. But he couldn't swallow it, and he didn't think he was going to lose.
"You don't provoke me." Gu Lingxu shook off Qin Qinghong's hand, his expression was cold, he took a deep breath and looked at Qin Qinghong, "I won't lose, let alone die."
With that, he strode out of the courtyard.
Qin Qinghong was left alone.
Qin Qinghong's brows furrowed deeply, his eyes were full of worry, Gu Lingxu didn't listen to persuasion, she couldn't watch him go to death.
Gu Lingxu is indeed strong in martial arts, and it is difficult to find opponents in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, plus the open guns are easy to dodge, and the hidden arrows are difficult to defend. Who knows what Gu Lingxu will encounter.
Thinking of this, Qin Qinghong's heart couldn't help but feel uneasy.
His mind moved slightly, and soon, he went to Miaoduan's house.
Gu Lingxu allowed her to see Miaoduan, and the people around Gu Lingxu had always been courteous to her, so she met Miaoduan very smoothly.
Seeing someone coming in, Miao Duan was startled, and when she saw that it was a stunning woman who came in, she already had a guess in her heart, although she had never seen Qin Qinghong, but with a little guess, she also guessed Qin Qinghong's identity.
"Qin Niangzi—" Miao Duan called in a low voice.
Qin Qinghong looked at the innocent and somewhat charming girl in front of him, and his heart was mixed, he thought that he would never see each other again in this life, but he didn't expect her to come to see Miaoduan.
"Miss Qin came to me, but what's the matter with Xiangchenghou?" Miao Duan asked a little eagerly.
Qin Qinghong didn't reply in a hurry, but looked at Miao Duan greedily for a long time before he spit out a sentence, "Gu Lingxu went to assassinate Guan Zhi."
"Huh?" Before Miao Duan could react, Qin Qinghong had already closed the door and almost fled the room.
She stood outside the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Lingxu said that there is a force behind Miaoduan. Although she didn't know who Miaoduan was, looking at Gu Lingxu's attitude towards Miaoduan, it was estimated that she would not be a big woman who did a lot of evil.
In addition, Miaoduan once sent a letter to Taifu - Qin Qinghong was gambling, and the people behind Miaoduan didn't want to see Gu Lingxu assassinate Guan Zhi.
After all, Gu Lingxu's assassination of Guan Zhi would be fine if it became a success, but if something happened to him, it would be a shake in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Similarly, she is also gambling, gambling Miaoduan has been in Beijing for so long, and the people behind her have not shown up for a long time, not because they can't come to save Miaoduan, but because they have other plans. She bet that she could reach the people behind her.
That's all she can do, and if she loses the bet, it's fate. It is Gu Lingxu's life, and it is the life of Northern Qi.
