Tosai looked up and squinted at the clear sky, believing that it would be a perfect day.

How lucky he was, he thought, his cousin King Kua and his father King Yao died on the same night, so that he naturally inherited the two great powers, and from then on he had a feeling that he would eventually become the king of Khan, and this feeling became stronger and stronger, reaching its culmination in this special day today.

The decisive battle between the two most powerful forces on the ruins of the Dragon Court was imminent, and the commander of one side was assassinated, and the corpse was in his hands.

King Yao looked at the dragon king who was on a par with him, and felt a great sense of satisfaction and superiority in his heart, this man may have an ambiguous relationship with Luo Ningcha, but after today, he will no longer be a threat, a self-styled little king of the Western Regions, actually wants to win the championship in the North Garden, what a ridiculous thing.

"The Dragon King has made a great contribution today, but you let go of the winged guard red kite without permission, the merit is not worth it, you think about it, and you will give me a reasonable explanation later." ”

King Yao's voice transitioned from kind to stern, and his speed increased, and as soon as his voice fell, he had already thrown the dragon king off his horse.

Distance is power, and for the first time, Tosai practiced the rules of the Northern Court royal family, and was very satisfied.

The retinue swarmed to catch up, forming a tight isolation circle between the King of Yao and the Dragon King, they were more familiar with the rules than their masters, and they knew that the Dragon King had been expelled, and I was afraid that they would not have the strength to turn over.

Azheba and the other close officers approached the dragon king.

The corpse had been taken by King Yao, and they were now in the same situation: once the new Grand Lieutenant took office, the young officer was likely to be reprimanded.

"What is this for?" asked Liman first, he was not used to calling the other party "King Yao".

"He is going to announce the death of the Grand Lieutenant to the Guards himself. Azheba sighed, who would announce the death was a delicate matter, and they could have used this opportunity to prop up a commander who was inclined to Prince Dodune, but it had failed.

"Will the Guards be loyal to Tosai?" Gu Shenwei had a few small questions in his mind that needed to be explained.

"No, it won't. Azheba is very sure that he has been in the army for ** years, and he knows the thoughts of the generals and soldiers very well, "The captain of the army cannot inherit the throne, this is the rule for many years, and it will not change because of Tosai, but Tosai can return the body at the same time, and ask for the immediate election of a new commander, with his participation, it is self-evident who the new commander is loyal to." ”

"Tosai has always been interested in wooing the Chamberlain, and it is likely that he has already identified a candidate. Gu Shenwei guessed.

"Ucu. Several officers said a name at the same time.

"Uso is one of the commanders of the close army, born in the tribe of King Yao, and can be regarded as Tosai's uncle. Liman explained.

Gu Shenwei was silent for a while, "Who do you want to choose?"

Several officers looked at Azheba, and Azheba bit his lip, "Gu Lun, the deputy lieutenant of the close service army, he is one of the most trusted people in the life of the Grand Captain, from a small tribe, no background, we all contacted the Grand Lieutenant through him." ”

"When I enter the camp, I immediately go to Gulun and tell him not to participate in the battle. ”

"Why?" Azheba and the others were all taken aback, they had only come to woo the Dragon King after hesitation, they didn't have complete trust in him, and they weren't used to his sudden orders.

"At least don't go into the first round of contention. Gu Shenwei can't explain too much, because there are many things that he just guesses.

"Won't the first round of lieutenants be chosen right away?" asked Azheba on behalf of the group.

"I don't think so. The Holy King also has supporters in the army, right?"

The officers said three or four names, the Holy King had been silent in the Dragon Court for a long time, and he didn't have much power base, these three or four people had something to do with him, but in fact, they couldn't be called real supporters.

Gu Shenwei had a feeling that King Yao Torsai was walking into a trap.

If the Grand Lieutenant was really persuaded to leave the barracks by Nei Annihilation, the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall would have many opportunities to assassinate him, but they chose it in the early morning, and it was the only way for Tosai, if it wasn't for Han Wuxian to find out about the problem, the corpse would have fallen into Tosai's hands long ago.

Gu Shenwei was familiar with the methods of the lotus girl, because that was his routine.

The news of the assassination of the Grand Captain had already spread by the soldiers of King Yao, and the soldiers in front were still in full standby, while the barracks in the rear were open to Tosai, who had returned his body.

The dragon king and the officers all became inconspicuous small characters at this time, and Azheba and the others went to see the deputy commander Gu Lun, and Liman took the dragon king to a tent to rest.

"They have to discuss it with Captain Gulun, although the death of Captain Dadu is sad, but it is also an opportunity, and it is not something that can be easily passed up. "Liman believes in the Dragon King, but he is not even a close servant officer, he just stays in the camp as a friend, and he really doesn't have much influence.

Gu Shenwei nodded to show that he understood, if he was Azheba and others, he would not give up competing for the position of commander based on a word from a first-time meeting.

He stood at the door of the tent, lifted the curtain and looked at it for a moment, "The soldiers are putting down the flags. ”

Flags were erected in front of each tent of the close attendants, indicating their subordinates, and while Gu Shenwei was watching, one after another fell, and the soldiers all stood guard at the door, with their swords unsheathed, bowing their heads around the flags in silent mourning.

"It's always like this, the soldiers who are not familiar with the Grand Lieutenant can grieve to their heart's content, but the generals who come and go must hurriedly forget him. Liman had a lot of emotion, "Sometimes I think it's incredible, when the old Khan King was alive, everyone thought that no one dared to touch a single hair of his hair, but he was killed by several women, and he died so easily, I know this is the truth, but I can't believe it now, those female slaves are from Beiting." ”

Gu Shenwei also felt incredible, many of the tricks of the lotus girl were still learned from him, but she was able to set up a plot to assassinate the old Khan King, and her boldness was far beyond his imagination, and she actually succeeded.

The difference between him and her is that hint of madness.

Liman also walked to the door and looked out for a while, then returned to his place and continued: "Do you know what I feel most terrible? The god-like old Khan is dead, and no one has avenged him, and he doesn't even care who the real culprit is, accusing each other of planting each other, but it is just a means to rob power, Dragon King, please allow me to say a kind word, if I were the son of the Khan, I would definitely kill you, because you have entered the old Khan's tent, and this alone is enough. ”

"A lot of people think the same way you do. "Gu Shenwei didn't tell Liman that the wingguards had already tried to kill the Dragon King.

"Alas, the prince and the grandson believe that you have nothing to do with the death of the old Khan, but there is no revenge, but those ordinary soldiers outside, as long as they give an order, they are willing to be martyred for the old Khan, but they don't believe that the old Khan was killed at all, and they think that he has become a god in heaven. I saw the great division of the North Court, and the war between the princes was so small that it was not worth mentioning in comparison. ”

Gu Shenwei looked at Liman with some surprise, he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

Liman looked up at the Dragon King and asked seriously, "Is Beiting really going to perish?" The Central Plains army will soon sweep across the entire grassland, and we will all become slaves?"

"There will always be a Beiting people to reunify the grasslands, don't you really believe in Prince Dotun?"

"That was in the past, and the division between the royal family and the soldiers was not so obvious, and now ...... I doubt anyone will be able to save the North Garden. Liman hugged his head and sighed in frustration, he held back these words for a long time, and he didn't dare to say them to his friends, so he could only confide in the dragon king who he didn't know well.

Gu Shenwei felt that there was another reason for Liman's negativity, and was about to ask, Azheba came in, and Liman immediately stood up when he heard the voice, showing a look of eagerness, "How is it?"

"Captain Gulun asked you to go. "Captain Gulun decided to participate in the election, and many officers supported him, but he was grateful for the reminder from the Dragon King, and afterwards he hoped that the Dragon King would stay in the close army. ”

It is said that King Yao's attitude towards the Dragon King is already very obvious, and Gu Lun is euphemistically making a promise to the Dragon King to protect him.

Gu Shenwei was noncommittal, thought for a while, and avoided this co-optation, "I hope I am wrong, no matter what, this assassination was instigated by the Holy King, he will never sit back and watch the position of the captain of the near army fall into the hands of outsiders, be careful of his methods, Tosai and the Ucuo he supports are not to be afraid." ”

When Gu Shenwei made suggestions on the road, the attitude of the officers was half-convinced, and Azheba was no exception, but this time, he seemed very serious, and even had a hint of respect, "The Dragon King guessed correctly, the Holy King has proposed a truce, and he wants to come with several princes to personally mourn the Grand Captain." ”

"It seems that he has a lot of confidence. ”

"I just don't know which one he supports, and several possible candidates are being monitored, but this is not a complete solution. ”

Gu Shenwei knew that Azheba would leave Manzhi and stay alone.

"Shangguan Jiaotou often comes to the barracks. Azheba didn't go straight to the point, but turned to Shangguan Ru, "I've never seen a woman, I can't be loved by so many soldiers, I don't mean anything else......"

Perhaps thinking that the word "love" was not appropriate, Azheba was a little anxious to explain, but Gu Shenwei interrupted him, "I understand what you mean, she is an excellent general and deserves the love of the soldiers." ”

Gu Shenwei was not surprised, when Shangguan Ru was very young, she showed a bold and uninhibited temperament, and she was like a fish in water in the Tieshan bandit camp, which is also a big miracle, Shangguan Ru's beauty is not inferior to Luo Ning tea, but it can make contacts ignore this and pay more attention to her other advantages.

Azheba smiled, "Shangguan Jiaotou is very loyal to the Dragon King, very, many soldiers in the close service army are influenced by her, and they also have a deep affection for the Dragon King. ”

"Say what you think, at this time, it's better for us to have something to say. Gu Shenwei didn't want to talk to Azheba about Shangguan Ru anymore.

"I hope, and Captain Gulun, that if the election results are not satisfactory, the Dragon King will draw his sword to help. ”
