When he was in Biyu City, Wei Song had no doubts about Huan Nu's true identity, and when Gu Shenwei betrayed Jinpeng Fort and publicly declared that he was the son of Yang Zheng, a servant of the Gu family, he immediately understood the truth.

The relationship between Wei Song and Gu Lun was closer than Gu Shenwei imagined, he was just a child at the time, and rarely participated in the affairs of adults, and he could not see the frequent exchanges and mutual support between the two in the court.

Wei Song knew Yang Zheng and knew him very well, knowing that this old family servant had never married a wife, let alone had no children, and he also knew that Gu Shenwei's nickname was Huan'er.

After guessing the truth, he never said anything, and Wei Song made an excuse for this.

"I was scared, you were full of hatred, murderous, uncompromising, I think you took me as a revenge object. And...... And I hate you, I hate you for killing my son. ”

Gu Shenwei calmly listened to Wei Song's narration, and felt that it was okay to do this, since the other party recognized him, he could avoid many tricks around the corner, "Now you haven't gotten rid of suspicion, and you still hate me." ”

Wei Song's lips trembled, and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "Lingmiao did such a heinous thing, no wonder you doubted me." But I didn't know that I didn't know that Jinpeng Castle might have let Lingmiao participate in the action because of my face, and no one had ever told me. ”

Wei Song said a lot more, to the effect that he had made secret visits over the years, and confirmed that it was the Beiting royal family who sold Jinpeng Fort and slaughtered the Gu family.

Gu Shenwei couldn't say whether he believed it or not, he paid attention to the change in Wei Song's own expression, this is an old fritter who has been immersed in the Central Plains Imperial Court for many years, compared to it, those conspirators in the Western Regions are like just literate students in terms of performance.

There is a fatal flaw in Wei Song's story, which has not been explained, but Gu Shenwei saw through it at a glance, and when Wei Song began to have nothing to say, he threw it out, "It seems that in the mind of Lord Wei, the relationship between the Wei and Gu families has never broken down, and they are still like a family." ”

"If it weren't for this, our two families wouldn't have gotten married, alas, I didn't expect Lingmiao ......"

"I'm very curious, when my father decided to send my sister and me away, he didn't expect the dignified city governor to let Yang Zheng escort us to Shule City to join Marshal Yang. ”

Wei Song was like a reckless man who didn't know how to do it, swinging his sword in front of the stubborn stone, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely, but the stubborn stone didn't move, he tried his best, but he couldn't knock even a single crack on the dragon king, "Lord Gu didn't let you come to Biyu City to find me? ”

"Hmph, my father never mentioned you, and in the first two years in Biyu City, I didn't even know that the Overseer was an old acquaintance of my family. ”

Wei Song's face was pale, his head was lowered, avoiding Gu Shenwei's gaze, as if he had suddenly aged by more than ten years, "It seems that Master Gu has never forgiven me." ”

It's time to talk about old things again, think carefully.

But this time, there seems to be something more real in Wei Song's narration.

"Lord Gu and I are both ministers promoted by the first emperor, and the confrontation with the old ministers of the other faction is very serious, the first emperor died suddenly, Lord Gu would rather stay away from the Central Plains, than go along with the former enemy, but I ...... The Wei family is a big family in the Central Plains, I can't abandon it, I surrendered, yes, I surrendered, allegiance to the Empress Dowager, bowing to political enemies. Lord Gu was worried about this, and before leaving the Central Plains, we had a fight......"

But Gu Lun still wanted to marry his daughter to the Wei family, Gu Shenwei couldn't help but want to pull out the Wufeng knife, dig out Wei Song's heart, and see what was in it while it was still beating.

"Lord Wei never suspected that it was the Jinpeng killer hired by the Central Plains?"

"Nephew, please allow me to call you that, if you have some understanding of the Central Plains court, you will understand that the ministers can't even think of hiring killers to slaughter the entire family of political enemies, especially since Lord Gu has left the Central Plains, and there is no half impact on the power struggle, no, no one will take this risk, the court dispute is a political disagreement, and there are few personal grievances during it, otherwise, I will not be reused after changing my position. ”

"However, after returning to the Central Plains from Biyu City, I also carefully investigated, the murder of Lord Gu actually caused a great repercussion in the Central Plains, many ministers, including former political enemies, all advocated sending troops to punish Jinpeng Castle, at least to teach King Dubu a lesson, and later another faction thought that the Central Plains was currently weak in the Western Regions, and rashly starting a war would attract the interference of the Northern Court, and the matter was over. In any case, I don't find a single minister with any connection to Castle Knighthood. Now Jinpeng Fort is almost openly an enemy of the Central Plains, and there is no need to cover it up for the ministers of the DPRK and China. ”

"Lord Wei has recognized Beiting as the Gu family's enemy?"

Wei Song had been avoiding the Dragon King's gaze, and at this time he suddenly raised his head, and even his voice became louder, "Lingmiao has done evil things that are angry with gods and people, and my nephew should not believe me, I only provide clues, and my nephew can investigate and collect evidence, if I have a lie, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." ”

He paused for a moment, then continued in a softened tone: "The king of the North Court is chasing the king, the dragon king knows after a little inquiry, it is his full support for Jinpeng Castle, and this support just started after the Gu family was destroyed, the cause and effect of his enmity with Lord Gu, the dragon king can also ask, there are still many people who know about this matter in the north court." ”

Wei Song renamed the "nephew" as the "Dragon King", and then closed his mouth, saying that he had finished speaking, and it was up to the other party to decide whether to believe it or not.

Gu Shenwei still didn't believe it, his father might really have a grudge against the nobles of Beiting, and that King Richai might also be the main messenger behind the destruction of the door, but Gu Shenwei didn't believe that Wei Song had nothing to do with it.

An assassination instigated by the people of Beiting, why did he have to bring the sons of high-ranking officials in the Central Plains to participate?

But he still forbears, Wei Song is not Wei Lingmiao, and if he wants to dig out the truth from this old fox's mouth, it is not enough to rely on a sword.

"I'll investigate, but Lord Wei, I've traveled thousands of miles to the Easy Sea, and I've passed through the enemy's occupied area on the way, which is full of dangers, so I can't just tell me these things, right?"

Wei Song had to admit that his attempt to influence the Dragon King with his friendship and secret had completely failed, and he underestimated the Dragon King, thinking that this was a young man full of hatred and enjoying a great victory, but what he saw was a killer who was deeper than the emperor and calmer than the general.

Gu Shenwei is still a killer and will not make easy moves until he finds the best position to attack.

The people of Beiting learned the art of war through frequent hunting, and Gu Shenwei looked for a way to fight for hegemony in the principle of killers.

"I still say the same thing, the court has a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and I can't put my personal feelings in front. ”

"Then let's talk about the important tasks of the court first. ”

Wei Song finally accepted the lesson, and no longer wanted to talk about going around in circles, "Zhongyuan hopes to re-align with the Dragon King. ”

"What benefits does Zhongyuan want to get, and what benefits can it give me?" Gu Shenwei also said bluntly, as if the emotional offensive just now had not happened at all.

"The Central Plains hopes that the Western Regions will be stable and will not pose a threat on the flanks, so that they can free up their hands and go all out to fight on the northern front. As for those who can give the dragon king, except for the people and horses, everything is available, money, grain and grass, armor, etc., and even the title of the dragon king will be openly recognized. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Wei Song lowered his voice slightly.

He was concerned that he had brought up a sensitive topic.

Gu Shenwei's title of "Dragon King", as well as the full name of "The Head of the Dragons and the King of the Five Peaks", are all self-styled swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, strictly speaking, like the Dubu King of Jinpeng Castle, he is not a real king, in the eyes of the great powers, it is just a nickname for the rivers and lakes.

In the Western Regions, there are only two ways to become a real king, pure bloodline or recognition of a great power, there are only two great powers, the Northern Court and the Central Plains, and Shule does not have this power even before its demise.

Shangguan Yun married the princess of Xiaowanguo and became the king through the backdoor, but he only took half a step, and finally had to win the recognition of Beiting.

Gu Shenwei married the princess of Shiguo, but he did not snatch the throne, at most he raised his feet, and he had not yet landed.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Wei Song's last promise was worth a lot of money, more than the support of thousands of troops, but Gu Shenwei scoffed, he didn't need the recognition of Beiting or the Central Plains, he himself had already divided five kings in Xiaoyaohai, and more kings would be crowned in the future.

The people of Daxueshan believed that the dragon king was given by the sky, and Gu Shenwei also firmly believed that his power came from "divine will" and had nothing to do with the emperor in the world.

"Grain and grass armor is what the dragon army needs, but what I want more is soldiers. ”

Gu Shenwei sent the right general Shang Liao to Shule because he couldn't afford too many soldiers for the time being, if there was enough food and grass, he had the same idea as Dugu Xian, the more troops the better.

Finding that Gu Shenwei was not interested in the king, Wei Song was a little surprised, and immediately changed the topic, "There are not many soldiers in the Central Plains in the Western Regions, I'm afraid I won't be able to help the Dragon King in this matter, but I can point out a way to expand the army, countless soldiers are waiting there, it depends on whether the Dragon King is willing to go." ”

Gu Shenwei felt that after going around in circles for a night, Wei Song was finally about to get to the point.

"Tell me, maybe I'll be interested. ”

"There are not many soldiers in the Western Regions, and most of the people are cowardly and war-fearful, and even if they are forcibly conscripted, they will spend a lot of time training before they can be sent to the battlefield. ”

The soldiers of the Dragon Army are basically all from the Western Regions, and more than half of them are recruits who have only joined the army in the last year, Gu Shenwei thinks they are very good, but he did not refute them, in the final analysis, the Western Regions are still underpopulated and cannot provide too many soldiers.

"Beiting has hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and the people are also good at riding and archery, regardless of men and women, they can fight at any time, which is the best source of soldiers. ”

This is even more unbelievable than accusing the king of Beiting Rizhu as the Gu family's enemy of extermination, but Wei Song was as excited as if he had taken out a clever plan, nodded, and began to explain, "The old Khan king's life is not long, as soon as he dies, Beiting will be torn apart, and those armies, whoever starts early, will get a piece of the pie." ”

"No matter how much it is divided, it is also a matter of the Beiting royal family, how can outsiders interfere?"

"If this 'outsider' can contribute a little to the death of the old Khan......"

Gu Shenwei finally understood why Wei Song risked his life to see him.
