Chapter Thirty-Four: Two Messages
34. When Qu Gao's consciousness gradually woke up, the first thing he felt was the pain involved in the back of his neck, and he still remembered in a daze that the wind was blowing in Taishou Mansion, and then there was a pain in his neck, and his brain was blank.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a very luxuriously decorated room in front of me, and there was a faint impression of the surrounding environmental arrangement. He sat up slowly, looked around, and saw an extremely familiar black shadow standing in the wind at the pavilion railing, almost unconscious, Qu Gao opened his mouth and shouted: "Wang Shou?"
The black shadow turned around, Leng Jun's face was still angry, he flashed over, grabbed Qu Gao's throat, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "It's a big thing for me, I can't eat you with hatred!"
Qu Gao's throat was choked, but his strength was not great, and when he saw Wang Shou's angry appearance, he immediately understood, it turned out that Wang Shou wanted to kill Li He, and the female assassin was in a gang with him. That's right, apart from the Wang family, who else can cultivate such an elite assassin?
Swallowing a breath, Qu Gao said: "Why didn't you keep your mouth shut? Now that I am conscious, it hurts me very much." Wang Shou was stunned, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the bloody knife marks on his side face, flicked his sleeves, turned his back, and said angrily: "Qing is really loyal and righteous, but he kills his relatives with righteousness, but he wants to save Li He at the cost of his life?" Qu Gao suddenly froze and asked in surprise: "How is General Li?"
The king snorted and said, "I have killed him." ”
"Hahaha. ”
Wang Shou said angrily: "What are you laughing at!" Qu Gao stopped laughing, his eyes were still full of smiles, and he lowered his head and whispered to the eyes of the king who was spewing fire: "I laugh at Wang Lang, who is known as the jade face, will also have a time of dishonor, and he has also learned to deceive people, if Li He is really dead, why should Wang Lang be annoyed like this?"
When Wang Shou heard this, he also realized that he had lost his demeanor, so he calmed down, suppressed the anger in his heart, replaced it with a shallow, faint smile, and said: "If it weren't for Qing helping me get rid of Zhang You, I wouldn't spare you this time." ”
Qu Gao said secretly: I killed Zhang You for Xiangyang, what does it have to do with you. It's just that Wang Shou Huang Que is behind, why do you want to kill Li He? Li He is a martial artist, and there is no threat to Wang Shou. Unless......
As soon as Zhang You died, Li He was the only person in Xiangyang who could mobilize 20,000 garrisons, and the king's eagerness to get rid of him must be for the sake of his military power.
With the status of the Wang family, it is impossible to meddle in military and political affairs, let alone in the absence of an owner in Xiangyang, but Qu Gao does not think so. He stared straight at Wang Shou, and said in a clear voice: "Wang Lang thinks that by getting rid of Li He, he will be able to seize the garrison power of Xiangyang?"
Qu Gao said: "For the Wang family, controlling the military and politics may be just a matter of a warrant, but for the soldiers, they will only work for their confidants. Wang Lang has neither trained them, nor experienced life and death with the soldiers, so why do you think that a piece of command can command the soldiers?"
Wang Shou smiled when he heard this, this time it was a real smile, but Qu Gao sounded like a ridicule of his remarks, and with Qu Gao's unhappy expression, Wang Shou pursed his lips and whispered: "First of all, what do they do for me?" Could it be that Fei Qing thinks that I am going to pour all the troops of the four cities into a decisive battle with Shi Hu in Xiangyang?" Qu Gao said suspiciously: "Isn't it?" Wang Shou smiled even more, lowered his head, and spit lightly: "If I tell Qing that I haven't moved the soldiers and horses in Yidu, Nanjun, and Jiangxia, will Qing be in a hurry again?"
"The world is the world of your Wang family and the Sima family, I am a pawn, what is there to be in a hurry. I have done my best for Xiangyang, and as for your plan, I know that it is useless. Qu Gao said casually, thinking about the assassination of Zhang You, his heart was still palpitating, but he didn't feel scared at that time, and when he played against the woman, he didn't have any fear. Suddenly, he thought of the strangeness of the wind, and said to Wang Shou: "Wang Lang can learn from Kong Ming to make the wind?" Wang Shou replied: "The first Zeng was a teacher of Ge Hong Xianweng, and he knows some strange Taoist techniques. ”
After chatting for a while, the king went back to his room to rest. Qu Gao learned that the baby was fine, and Wang Shou found him a wet nurse, and he was also relieved. Just after the first battle, Qu Gao was also tired, and now that the matter was done, his mood was relaxed, and he also fell asleep.
On the second day, when Qu Gao woke up, the sun had risen overhead, and the maidservant had finished washing, and then led Qu Gao through the cloister to a hall. The king's head was seated, with food, and when he saw that Qu Gao was there, he motioned for Qu Gao to sit down, and the maid served another meal, and at the mercy of a few, and then Ying Ying retreated.
"What's the trend of the Hu people?" Qu Gao asked after taking a sip of hot soup.
"Eat silently, sleep silently. Wang Shou didn't raise his head, and replied: "Two news about Qing, one good and one bad, which one should Qing listen to first?" Qu Gao guessed that it should be related to Taishou Mansion, he killed Zhang You, he must have been wanted by Li He, he didn't care about these things, continued to eat, and replied: "You are not allowed to speak." ”
Wang Shoudao: "These two messages are more important than etiquette. Qu Gao was stunned for a moment and replied: "Let's talk about it first." ”
"Zhang gave birth to a boy. ”
Qu Gao smiled, Zhang often said that the child is restless with him, and he must be a son, as expected. And he asked, "What about the bad news?"
Wang Shou paused, and said calmly: "The strange woman beside Qu Lang is probably dying. ”
"Ah Yan!" Qu Gao's chest seemed to be hit by a boulder, and he screamed unconsciously, swallowing his dry throat, and asked in a dumb voice, "How is she?" Wang Shou shook his head and said, "I have sent the best doctor in the house to diagnose and treat him, and I have no power to return to heaven." ”
