Chapter 22: It's a talent

Li Yan was very curious about Gu Fuguang, so after arranging for Gu Fuguang's arrest, Li Yan immediately ordered this "temporary worker" of Jinyiwei to be escorted to see him.

It's not that Li Yan thinks that Gu Fuguang is a rare peerless talent, just because he was deified as the originator of spies in later generations, omnipotent, omniscient, and Jinyiwei, who has all kinds of martial arts masters, really makes Li Yan full of curiosity.

Although Gu Fuguang is not a formal employee of Jinyiwei, he is also a member of Jinyiwei, such a person always knows something about Jinyiwei, out of this consideration, Li Yan did not directly hand over Gu Fuguang to Li Zicheng, but deducted it himself.

When he saw Gu Fuguang, Li Yan was quite surprised.

is different from the estimation that he is not like a mortal, Gu Fuguang does not have the suave and omnipotent nature of the spies in later movies, nor does he have a gorgeous hairstyle and handsome clothes. ”

Of course Gu Fuguang is shabby, can he not be shabby? Breaking into the camp and being a civilian husband is to make real efforts, and the perennial strength has long made Gu Fuguang's whole body full of the characteristics of a physical man, thick joints, calloused hands, skin blown rough by the cold wind, and an unhealthy dark red.

Messy hair, a tattered jacket, and a beard that spread around his mouth like weeds.

Li Yan instantly understood why he couldn't catch Gu Fuguang last time, this person was so ordinary, so ordinary that you wouldn't look at him more if he was thrown into the crowd, let alone associate him with the brocade-clothed flying fish and the brocade-clothed guard with bee waist mantis legs.

"You are Gu Fuguang?" Li Yan stared at him in disbelief and confirmed, for fear that his subordinates had caught a Li ghost to deal with.

Gu Fuguang is not a fool, since he was arrested, then someone must have leaked the news, in this case, denial is worthless, and there is no humanitarian and legal spirit in breaking into the camp, if you don't recruit torture first and then kill, it will be a matter, and it will not be in the way if you kill one wrong person so many people.

"I'm Gu Fuguang." Gu Fuguang did not deny it, although his hands were restrained by Li Zicheng's own soldiers with big shoulders and round waists on both sides, he still stubbornly raised his head and looked at Li Yan.

Just as Li Yan looked at him, he was also looking at Li Yan, this "military advisor" who appeared inexplicably in the camp, as the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, Gu Fuguang knew Li Yan's horror better than others.

With this person, Li Zicheng will become a big problem for the Ming Dynasty in the real sense, but unfortunately, the huge Ming officialdom, even Yang Sichang is disdainful of this person, and the princes of the temple have long been separated from the ordinary people, and naturally, they are more and more unable to perceive what the people want.

is different from the imaginary white-faced scholar and lupine scarf, Li Yan does not look very peculiar, and it can even be said that he is not much different from the young people who do farm work in the countryside all year round, especially the rough hands are not similar to Gu Fuguang's speculation.

The son of the Shang Shu family, is so virtuous?

"Gu Fuguang, you lost." Li Yan was the first to speak to break the strange atmosphere, and it was somewhat unsightly for the two big men to look at each other passionately here.

"I didn't lose, it was the court that lost" Gu Fuguang was not to be outdone, although he didn't know what was going on outside, he also guessed that the court had leaked the news.

"That's right, it's really the Ming Court that harmed you" Li Yan nodded in agreement, and then changed his words: "But you worked hard for the court, Ma Xiangzhen's death has your share of credit, and you still lose." ”

Gu Fuguang's head drooped dejectedly when he heard this, Li Yan was right, Ma Xiangzhen's death was indeed directly related to him, and he had no confidence on this issue.

"You are a talent" Li Yan looked at the dejected Gu Fuguang and praised him: "I was going to lead the snake out of the hole, but you turned against the army, if it weren't for the incompetence of the Ming Court, maybe I was really fooled by you." ”

When Gu Fuguang heard this, he raised his head slightly, and said sarcastically: "It's not all my ability, Li joined the army and was really not popular in the camp, and I didn't expect it to play such a big role." ”

Li Yan couldn't help but choke when he heard this, this Gu Fuguang did step on his pain point, if there was anything that annoyed him compared to Gu Fuguang, it was that he found that he seemed to be breaking into the camp and was not liked by most people, which may be the natural barrier between civil and military.

"It's pointless to be stubborn now" Li Yan retorted forcefully, he didn't plan to continue the topic, but directly made the purpose clear: "You are a talent, it's a pity to die, it's better to join the army, my family master will do the way for heaven and destroy the tyranny, if you can join, isn't it a hundred times stronger than messing around in the imperial court?" ”

Li Yan does have the heart to win over Gu Fuguang.

On the one hand, breaking into the camp is a short board in the direction of intelligence, if a professional like Gu Fuguang joins, he can fill in this almost blank field, and he has also discussed this matter with Li Zicheng in private, although Li Zicheng did not make a decision, but he can see that he is still quite moved.

On the other hand, Li Yan has his own selfishness, the longer he stays in the camp, the more he finds that he is weak, except for Gao Yigong and Li Jinshang as goodwill, he basically has no good impression of him, Liu Zongmin, Li Shuangxi and others have rectified him many times, Gu Junen is a typical good gentleman, although there are many protections in small things, and he will basically not help Li Yan get ahead in big things.

Li Yan also gradually discovered that his current position was actually Gu Junen's thug, doing the most tiring work and receiving the most scolding, it was not good to go on like this, after all, if he wanted to stay out of the matter, the dumping inside the camp would not give him affection.

Under this kind of consideration, Li Yan did not have any intention of holding the intelligence department in his hands, if Gu Fuguang was willing to surrender, he could immediately directly promote Gu Fuguang to King Chuang as the person in charge of intelligence, so that he could be regarded as a family of his own, not so passive.

Gu Fuguang looked up at this soldier who wanted to recruit himself to join the army, and couldn't help laughing: "Li joins the army, I still treat you as a smart person, I am Jinyiwei, a hereditary Jinyiwei family, who has been favored by the imperial court for generations, how can he be a thief?" Besides, Li Zicheng is something, just a grassy coward, even if it is for the sake of honor, I will not rebel against thieves! ”

"Bold!" Several of Li Zicheng's personal soldiers behind him were furious when they heard this, and they all pressed their hands on the hilt of their knives and scolded loudly.

Li Yan knew that it was not so easy to persuade Gu Fuguang, so he raised his hand to stop a few soldiers who wanted to step forward and kill Gu Fuguang, and said slowly: "The world is favored by the country, can't you surrender?" This is a good reason, but I just don't know if this grace is the grace of the Apocalypse Lord or the grace of Emperor Chongzhen? ”

Li Yan had probably guessed Gu Fuguang's situation, the hereditary brocade guard was sent here to go undercover? That's not what an abandoned son is, since it is an abandoned son, uniting the current situation, I'm afraid that this guy is the descendant of the eunuch party.

Sure enough, Gu Fuguang's eyes suddenly dimmed when he heard this.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're a descendant of the eunuchs, right?" Li Yan continued to ask.

"No, no, no! I am not a descendant of the eunuchs! No! My father relied on Wei Zhongxian just to protect himself! How can it be said that it is a eunuch? Now the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, which one did not attach himself to Wei Gelding at the beginning? Even if it is the current emperor, didn't he rely on being close to Wei Gelding to ascend the throne? Why only say that we are eunuchs?! Gu Fuguang suddenly became emotional, and actually began to explain to a thief, which was quite absurd.

Li Yan wanted this effect, gently tapped the table with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Yes, which of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces is not attached to Wei Gelding?" Now you can suck the blood of the people in the court, but you are thrown out as an outcast, why is this? ”

Gu Fuguang was stunned when he heard this, yes, why is this?

"Because the Zhu family's court has never treated you people as human beings! You're just feeding their pigs! Do you still have to work for him in such a court?! I might as well tell you that your situation was directly publicized by the Nanyang government! Li Yan threw out the text on the front page of the case, which blatantly marked the price of Gu Fuguang's head.

"To put it ironically, I'll kill you now, take your head to Nanyang to receive the reward, can the imperial court still grant me a reward?" Li Yan looked at Gu Fuguang, who was holding the paper in disbelief.

"Meat eaters are despicable! Meat eaters despise! Gu Fuguang took the page in his hand and muttered to himself, it can be seen that the cruel reality has hit his values hard, he is not without the consciousness of being an outcast, but it is really unacceptable to become an outcast.

"How? Gu Fuguang, will it fall or not? If you surrender and win the world in the future, are you still afraid that you won't be able to be a commander of the brocade guard? Li Yan sat at the head and said demagoguously.

Hearing this, Gu Fuguang laughed, shook his head and said, "Are you really the one who wants me to be a traitor for the sake of power?" That's right, the imperial court has failed me Gu Fuguang, but I, Gu Fuguang, would rather die than be a character like Li Ling! My Gu family has been favored by the Ming Dynasty for 200 years since they became ancestors, my grandfather Gu Xun died in Liaodong, and my great-grandfather Gu Ye died in North Korea. ”

Li Yan underestimated Gu Fuguang's loyalty, especially when he felt that an abandoned son would not have much loyalty at all, but he didn't expect that people were stupid and loyal, which was troublesome.

"Is the imperial court just the Zhu family's imperial court? The world is the world of the people, and the king is also the king elected by the people, if he cannot do things for the people, then what is the use of this king? Your ancestor was loyal to the martyrs of the previous generation, did he just die for his Zhu family? Li Yan scolded a few times.

Gu Fuguang was unmoved, just stiffened his neck and shouted: "I was born as a Ming minister, and I died as a Ming ghost, kill me quickly!" I will not surrender to death! ”

Foolish! Li Yan finally saw what foolish loyalty is, a foolish person can't be reasonable, the values in his mind have framed him to death, and he will only rush down this road of no return in this life until he falls to his death at the bottom of the cliff.

Without waiting for Li Yan to speak, Li Zicheng's personal soldiers had already raised their knives and were ready to kill Gu Fuguang, for those who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the policy of breaking into the army has always been very simple, that is, killing, killing one by one, and killing one by one.

"Wait!" Li Yan raised his hand to stop the two pro-soldiers at a critical moment, and for a moment he really wanted the pro-soldiers to behead Gu Fuguang, after all, he also knew that such a character could not be persuaded to surrender, but after weighing it, he still decided to wait first.

Looking at Gu Fuguang playfully, Li Yan sneered and said, "Gu Fuguang, I won't kill you." ”

Hearing this, Gu Fuguang was stunned, don't kill him? He was unwilling to surrender, and caused a lot of trouble to the army, Li Yan actually said that he would not kill him, and he himself was a little unconvinced.

"You are a talent, it is a pity to kill one, and secondly, it seems that I can't tolerate people in the camp, and now the whole world knows that you have defected to the king, wouldn't it be a donkey to kill you if I kill you?" Li Yan said slowly.

"Not only will I not kill you, but I will also release you," Li Yan stared at Gu Fuguang and said word by word.

"Joining the army....." Hearing that Li Zicheng's personal soldiers were shocked, he immediately wanted to stop him, but was interrupted by Li Yan with his hand raised and showed Li Zicheng's token.

"I will explain this matter to King Chuang, it's a pity that Gu Fuguang killed him, and he can't be killed," Li Yan shook his head and said.

Gu Fuguang's brows furrowed more and more, Li Yan would definitely not let him go for no reason, but he was afraid that he didn't hold back any good fart.

"Gu Fuguang, you are no longer the brocade guard of the Ming Court, but the eagle dog that everyone shouts to beat the thief and kill the general of the imperial court, I let you go, just to let you go and see how your loyal court treats you! I won't kill you, killing you seems to be intolerant of breaking into the camp, I want your beloved court to kill you! Only in this way can you truly despair and truly die! Li Yan said with a sneer.

An outcast, why should he dispose of it himself? Let Ming Ting deal with him, if he is really stupid and loyal to the end, dying at the hands of Ming Ting is 10,000 times more uncomfortable than dying at the hands of breaking into the camp!
