Chapter 164: Dissuasion

Rong Zhi asked Zhan Qirui to help Zhou Shuzhan didn't know about it, he now had to guard against Rong Zhi, and there were official affairs to deal with in the two places, so naturally he couldn't pay attention to some trivial things.

Besides, he didn't know that Zhan Qirui and his wife were in trouble at that time, he just thought that they were the people in distress.

"Xiangcheng Hou is still here?" When Zhou Shuzhan and Gu Lingxu were inspecting the riverbank together, they happened to meet Rong Zhi and Li Shengxi, and when they saw Gu Lingxu, Rong Zhi couldn't help but ask in doubt.

"What does Rong Xun mean by that?" Gu Lingxu confronted him-for-tat.

Rong Zhi smiled and shook his head, "It's just that I was thinking that there seemed to be four counties in Xichang that were affected by the broken embankment, and Xiangchenghou didn't seem to be worried at all. What's more, the Hou Ye came to Zhenyuan, and it seems that he has never been edicted. Master Hou, it is inevitable to trespass ......."

Gu Ling is at fault for this, but he has always been domineering, and he is like a soil emperor outside Beijing, and he said arrogantly: "If Rong Xun press is dissatisfied, he can write a letter of impeachment, of course, if Rong Xun press can still face the saint after returning to Beijing."

This matter started because of Guan Zhi, and now the dynasty has not asked the guilty party for a while, but it is only because of the urgency of the disaster, and Guan Zhi is still struggling in the imperial city. If Rong Zhi can't make meritorious contributions, when he returns to Beijing, what awaits him will be a prison sentence.

Rong Zhi has always done a good job in the aspect of joy and anger, "Whether or not you can face the saint, Xiaguan has the right to write a book. The Holy Wisdom is naturally a reward for sin and punishment. The Marquis of Xiangcheng has great military achievements, but don't use all these great military exploits to offset the crime of trespassing."

"You ......" Gu Ling froze.

Zhou Shuzhan stood up, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, "Rong Xun has the kung fu to speak so fast here, it's better to think about how to get things done. The disaster in Zhenyuan has not been settled, and it is difficult for Rong Xun to have such idleness."

When Rong Zhi heard this, he just smiled lightly and took Li Sheng away.

Seeing that Rong Zhi was gone, Gu Lingxu swung his sword and slashed towards a dead tree next to him, "One day, I will definitely punish this thief."

"What Marquis Xiangcheng said is very true." Zhou Shuzhan couldn't help but sigh.

"He is still so rampant now, it is nothing more than relying on the body of a patrolman, and the court has not condemned him. And Benhou wrote to the Holy One today, and told him that the Holy One would take away his right to patrol and send him to prison." Gu Lingxu said coldly.

Zhou Shuzhan shook his head, "The Holy Favor believes in Guan Zhi, this thief has the grace to save his life in Guan Zhi, Hou Ye is like this, he is only afraid that the party will provoke him, not only will he not remove his post, but he will also impeach Hou Ye for the crime of trespassing. When the time comes, it will be more than worth the loss. Hou Ye still has to be cautious."

Gu Lingxu reluctantly took away his sword.

"In other words, it is better for Master Hou to go back to Xichang first, so as not to leave the handle. Guan Zhi is powerful, but in the end, it is only in Beijing, Zhou is not talented, and it is more than enough to deal with a small Rongzhi along the Jiangbei coast." Zhou Shuzhan persuaded.

Although Gu Lingxu dislikes Rong Zhi, he has his own principles, and with Gu Lingxu here, many of his actions are not easy to start.

Gu Ling's face hesitated, "This thief girl is cheating, I'm afraid that Zhou Fuyin will not be careless about his way."

Zhou Shuzhan boasted that he had seen through Gu Lingxu's thoughts, and Gu Lingxu wanted to stay here, just to personally seize Rong Zhi's handle, and then find an opportunity to kill him personally.

Now that he is told to leave, if something happens to Rong Zhi, Gu Lingxu will not have a chance to kill him.

"If the Marquis of Xiangcheng is not at ease, but the garrison is south of Anyuan, if there is a change here, the Marquis of Xiangcheng can go south to support at any time." Anyuan is located in the northeast of Xichang, and south of Anyuan is Tongjiang and Zhenyuan. What he meant by this was that if there was a slight change, Gu Lingxu could go south to kill the thief at any time.

Gu Lingxu's eyes moved lightly, as if he was moved, and after a while, he nodded, "That being the case, then according to what Zhou Fu Yin said, it's just going to trouble Zhou Fu Yin."

Zhou Shuzhan shook his head, "It's not troublesome, it's just a duty to get rid of thieves for the country." What's more, you and I are world friends, and it is only natural for us to help each other."

A trace of coldness crossed Gu Lingxu's eyes, world friends? Since it was a world friend, why did he see his father defending Xichang and not sending troops in the first place? Is it because the first emperor was eyeing the family at that time?

Not only that, but he remembered that during the Xichang War, several nearby ones were related to the Zhou family

Although the state capital has not sent troops, they are all fighting hard, waiting for Xichang City to be broken.

Where are they afraid of disobeying the order to send troops, so that the first emperor can justifiably reduce the family's military power. They obviously wanted to wait for his father to die in battle, and the Xichang army and the Xirong people were both defeated, and then come to clean up the mess, so as to completely engulf the Xichang army and strengthen their own strength.

He hated the Northern Qi royal family and Guan Zhi deeply, they were the culprits, but how could the Zhou family feel that he was at the mercy of others?

Guan Zhi and the first emperor deserve death, are the people of the Zhou family innocent?

"Then thank you Zhou Fuyin, no, Uncle Zhou Shi." Gu Ling smiled humbly, but the coldness in his heart was difficult to talk to.

Zhou Shuzhan was a little flattered, but he immediately understood that this was a gesture of favor from Gu Lingxu, since Gu Lingxu refused to marry, the relationship between the two families is not far or close, it is not bad, but it is definitely not good.

Now when he heard Gu Ling's words, although he was a little surprised, he would not refuse. Gu Lingxu has a heavy army in his hands, even if he refuses to marry and loses the face of the Zhou family, but he can get married, why should he make a feud?

"The nephew is gracious." Zhou Shuzhan chuckled.

The two of them chatted and laughed warmly with their own thoughts, and in the end, Gu Lingxu personally sent Zhou Shuzhan home.

When Gu Lingxu returned to his house, it was already nightfall, because of Rong Zhi, he brought Miaoduan, brought Miaoduan, and naturally Qin Qinghong was indispensable.

In fact, the two sisters also helped a lot, Miao Duan is also a doctor, as for Qin Qinghong, although she is not good at medical skills, but she can also be a female worker, she often helps the soldiers in the army and Gu Lingxu to sew and mend clothes.

When Gu Lingxu returned home, she saw Qin Qinghong who was seriously sewing clothes, she lost the jewels she had when she first saw her, and now she was coarse and linen, and she sewed clothes under the lamp, which made Gu Lingxu feel a little strange. But this feeling is very reassuring.

"It's so late, why don't you go to bed earlier?" Gu Lingxu sat down beside Qin Qinghong.

"I'm not sleepy." Qin Qinghong put down the needle and thread in his hand and looked at Gu Lingxu a little tiredly, "It's you, why did you come back so late?"

"I have a lot of official business, and I went to chat with Zhou Shuzhan for a while." When it came to Zhou Shuzhan, Gu Lingxu only felt a little tired.

Qin Qinghong on the side heard this, his willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his charming eyes were unknown at the moment, making it impossible to see through what she was thinking.

Gu Lingxu and Qin Qinghong have known each other for some time, and he can be regarded as understanding Qin Qinghong: "You don't like Zhou Shuzhan?"
