Back Off, Let Me Come
Chapter 1374: Central Branch (Part 2) [Seeking monthly votes]
Revisiting the old story of Wu State?
Shen Tang looked at the words in the letter and lowered her eyes to hide her murderous intent.
With the two eyewitnesses, uncle and nephew of Wei Cheng, she knew too well how Wu State fell. Back then, the Gods had interfered and caused disunity within Wu State. Now they want to repeat the same trick? She couldn't help but feel a little worried, worried that Tan Ting's loss of contact was related to this. As for another guess that Qi Shan vaguely mentioned in the letter——
[Tan Ting's long-term loss of contact may be suspected of betrayal. 】
Without definite evidence, Shen Tang was unwilling to be suspicious of her own people, and even more unwilling to easily doubt the other party's position.
When trust is broken, flies from the outside world have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
She pondered for a moment, picked up a pen and wrote a letter back to Qi Shan. Use the resources in the central region that can be mobilized at present to investigate the whereabouts of Tan Ting!
In a word, I want to see him alive or dead!
"We still have to find a way to contact him as soon as possible, in case it's too late..." Shen Tang subconsciously broke the brush, and after hesitating for a long time, she took the initiative to contact the incarnation Wuyou. She originally wanted the incarnation Wuyou to find a good opportunity to lurk in the Northeast Continent, mainly to collect intelligence. If there is spare energy, she can take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, secretly absorb talents, and by the way, make things difficult for Quguo to get involved in the Northeast Continent.
Now it seems too late.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Shen Tang chose to find Tan Ting first.
If he really betrayed as Yuan Liang worried, as long as he had his own difficulties, as long as he didn't plot against Kangguo, or imitated Xu Shu and said nothing or offered no plan, Shen Tang could accept it. He can't be blamed for this, because she is not strong enough to protect her subjects. When she came to her senses, she had already written a reply to Qishan: "Send it to the capital in an emergency for 800 miles."
Little did she know that Qishan was jealous after reading this reply.
When the master was young, she hated betrayal the most. Even if the other party had real difficulties, she would not use him again. Even if she didn't kill him, she would never see him again. Unexpectedly, as she grew older, she relaxed her standards, and the person who made her make an exception was not him.
For the first time in a long time, Qi Shan and Gu Chi had similar feelings.
[Why is he an exception? ]
_(:з」∠)_
Unconsciously, the sky was quietly turning pale. Luan Xin, who received the news, had arranged the troops and horses to set off. When the guards came to inform Shen Tang, she had just finished writing the last stroke, and the review of yesterday's memorial was considered complete: "Already outside the city?"
She only had time to wash her face and leave the city to see him off.
Luan Xin set off very low-key. Except for a few officials of the Ministry of Personnel who knew that he was going out, others didn't know. Seeing Shen Tang rushing over, he was surprised: "Why is the master here?"
Before leaving the city, he went to say goodbye to the master. The eunuch responded that the lights in the master's inner hall were still on, and he was reviewing memorials all night. Luan Xin couldn't bear to disturb him, so he left a message for the eunuch to convey. Who would have thought that the master would come?
Shen Tang: "Gongyi is traveling far away, and I am worried."
There are not many precious things, and she will go crazy if one of them is lost.
Some things still need to be told in person, so that she can be at ease.
The two have been kings and ministers for many years, and Luan Xin naturally knows when the master will hide his emotions and when he will show his true feelings. No minister can resist the undisguised sincerity and enthusiasm of the master, and Luan Xin is the same: "Don't worry, my master, I will be back soon."
"I wish you a long literary career."
Looking at the two people whose faces could not hide their emotions and the sticky atmosphere, Luo San inexplicably understood the thoughts of Gu Chi, the young man.
The old man complained: "The royal court must be very lively."
Luan Xin didn't understand what Luo San meant by "lively". Although the civil and military officials have personal grudges and occasional minor frictions, they are united in the general direction and can face problems together.
Luo San said: "A man in a high position has three wives and four concubines. No matter whether the women in the inner house are for silk and satin, the future of their children, or a vague true heart, they will always intrigue around this man. Among them, the most foolish is to plot against the true heart."
There is only one true heart.
No one wants to get the least true heart.
"Sincerity is the strongest shackle in the world. It seems invisible, but once it is put on, it is difficult to break free." Luo San said seriously, "However, promiscuous men and women will be criticized for being romantic and dissolute, while promiscuous masters will only be recorded in history books."
"...My lord, that is not promiscuous." Luan Xin rarely spoke quickly. He realized that it was inappropriate when he blurted out a rebuttal. He immediately changed his words and said, "The relationship between the monarch and his subjects is better than that between brothers and sisters. How can you use the word "promiscuous" to blaspheme? What Luo Hou said is inappropriate."
Luo San said, "Just make the point."
There is no difference between house fighting and political fighting. The two are essentially the same. What is the difference between high and low? Aren't they all plotting against one person?
With the ability of Lady Shen to control her subjects, if she had three palaces and six courtyards, she could control as many men as she wanted.
Luo San was silent for a while, mumbling.
He said unhappily, "What am I?"
Luan Xin: "..."
At the critical moment, his desire to survive came to the fore, and he swallowed the five words "no name and no status" back into his stomach. Luo San is not one of those colleagues who can only talk but not do anything. If he really irritates this person, he will die without knowing how. Without getting a response, Luo San did not continue the topic, perhaps because he realized that this metaphor insulted himself.
There is a person in the Shili Pavilion outside the city.
Luo San recognized the identity of the person at a glance, and when Luan Xin noticed and looked, the other party had quietly left. Although he did not see the man's appearance, it did not prevent Luan Xin from guessing the other party's identity-Gu Chi.
Luan Xin: "..."
"Isn't he a colleague who came to see you off?"
"If he is a colleague, he is also half an enemy."
Luan Xin had complicated emotions, and he didn't expect Gu Chi to come back to see him off.
"Enemy?"
"Revenge of killing the master." If it weren't for the portrait in the study, he would have almost forgotten the appearance of his late master Wen Yangong. It was not only Wen Yangong's voice and smile that was diluted, but also his downright hatred. It almost became a habit for him to not deal with Gu Chi.
Luo San: "The royal court is really lively."
——
Gu Chi is a diligent wife.
During the period of recuperation, he did not forget to write.
When Bai Su came back from training, he found that the window was open and the manuscript papers on the desk were blown everywhere. He picked it up and looked at the summary, and frowned. Gu Chi was lazy this time and wrote both male and female versions of the same story.
One version is about a man who returns home and marries a still-charming widow. The other version is a story about a woman who returns home and loses her memory and is chased by a still-charming widower. In the end, she is kept outside by a woman who is nameless and helpless. The first version was not written smoothly, but the second version only had the character set on Luo San's face.
Bai Su bent down and arranged the manuscript paper according to the page number.
"Don't say anything when you are beaten to death by Luo Hou."
How many people in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty have not been touched by Gu Chi Cricket?
Gu Chi pinched his nose and drank up a bowl of soup in one breath: "If he wants to hit me, I will go to the palace to find the master to make the decision. He will cry, make trouble, and hang himself. I am familiar with these processes. No matter how charming he is, he can still compare with him." My long friendship with the Lord?”
Luo San had the ability to beat them both together.
Gu Chi was still worried about Shen Tang cheating on him.
Bai Su: "...that's not how words are used."
Gu Chi said eloquently: "Appearance is as important to a housewife as strength is to a brave warrior? Since they are equally important, why can't the charm still be used to describe a strong but elderly warrior? I think it is very suitable. "
He just deliberately disgusted Luo San.
Anyway, Luo San didn't know that he wrote the script.
The greater probability is that he can't read the script at all.
Bai Su: "..."
It is really rare that the Yushitai can be kept in order after being in charge of Gu Chi for many years. If you don't mention the outline of the explosion, the content of the Newspeak book is quite interesting, and Bai Su can see the shadow of many of his colleagues in the characters. As she watched, the servant heard that a distinguished guest was coming, it was Chu Yao, and she happened to see the touching scene of the heroine regaining her memory and crying with the men and women at home, as beautiful as flowers. She put away the manuscript paper with a guilty conscience, for fear of being discovered by Chu Yao.
Gu Chi straightened his clothes: "You're here to visit? You're a rare visitor."
It was expected that Chu Yao would appear in the second volume, but it did not prevent Gu Chi from becoming jealous. He said he didn't care, but in his heart he was scratching the wall more than anyone else. He thought Chu Yao was here to visit the patient, but he found that the other party had empty hands and an inexplicably solemn expression. Even Gu Chi stopped playing and led Chu Yao to the study seriously, closed the door, and set up a barrier to prevent prying eyes: "What's wrong?"
"I had a dream last night."
Gu Chi's shoulders relaxed: "I don't know how to interpret dreams."
Chu Yao's next sentence asked Gu Chi to pour the tea, and the tea rippled out of the cup: "It's not an ordinary dream, it's a bright dream."
All the important ministers knew that Chu Yao's way of being a scribe was the most useless.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
It is of no use on the battlefield.
To put it nicely, it is [Dark Willows and Bright Flowers], which can predict some future and avoid crises, but it is a passive skill and is not controlled by Chu Yao. It has not been perfected so far. In terms of practicality, it is even far inferior to the ability of Cui Zhi's second son Cui Mi. However, Chu Yao's career did not depend on it. Even without it, it would not affect his ability to supervise the country and accompany the army on expeditions. As time went by, no one cared about it anymore.
Now he suddenly comes to the door and says that the way of the scribes is activated again...
Or just tell yourself specifically...
This gave Gu Chi an ominous premonition: "Am I going to die?"
Is this sick body finally unable to bear it anymore?
Can Doctor Xinglin save her?
"No." Chu Yao shook his head, paused for a while, and asked tentatively, "Yiyi, he still doesn't know the cause of Qiu Cheng's death?"
Gu Chi heard the underlying meaning.
"Of course he doesn't know. There are only a few people who know about this matter... How could these insiders take the initiative to reveal it to Zhengyi?" Even so, his ability to speak spiritually is so wonderful that it is easy to trace the past. "With his temperament, This is going to happen..."
He stopped talking.
The Wu Kingdom back then was also attacked from within.
Today's Kang State is at its peak, and the situation is similar to that of Wu State back then. The Central Branch has gathered its superiors and subordinates to destroy the unity, and they are afraid that they will use all possible means. Qiu Cheng's death happened to be the breaking point.
Gu Chi thought of Tan Ting, whom he had lost contact with for a long time, and felt worried.
He suddenly opened his eyes: "I'm going to intercept Luan Gongyi."
Chu Yao grabbed his wrist with such force that Gu Chi almost staggered, and shouted: "Why are you intercepting him?"
"If I don't stop him, will I just watch him being induced to renounce?"
Qiu Cheng, an old man with little ability and a bad personality, personally rescued Luan Xin, a young man who was in dire straits. Bai Yueguang, or dead? How lethal is Bai Yueguang? Gu Chi has compiled so many story books and seen so many people's hearts. How could he not know? Luan Xin is also a stubborn character who accepts death.
"He is alienated from the Lord, and the person who will be most affected is the Lord!" The great cause of reunification is imminent, and only by working hard can we have a chance to succeed. If we lose our temper, we will fail and achieve success too late! Gu Chi didn't want to work hard to this point and be overthrown.
"I can't stop it! I can stop it for a while, but can I stop it for a lifetime?"
You can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief the day before?
As long as you take a nap, the enemy can take advantage of it.
Gu Chi was so angry that his chest ached: "Can't you stop me?"
His dark eyes turned blood until his eyes fell on the sword on one side. He grabbed it with his hands and tied the sword belt around his waist as he walked: "If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem with the person who has the problem!"
Chu Yao secretly thought something was wrong.
He didn't ask Gu Chi to go crazy.
Gu Chi was still a patient and could not use violent means. Seeing that something was not going well, Bai Su blocked the door with a sword: "Watching the tide?"
"Shaoxuan, get out of the way!"
Gu Chi was not in a good state at the moment. The pale complexion no longer existed, but was replaced by black blood, and his eyes were even more fierce. There is no doubt that if the person blocking the road had not been Bai Su, Gu Chi would have drawn his sword. Bai Su cast a questioning look at Chu Yao.
What did the two of them say that caused Gu Chi to become so abnormal?
Chu Yao clenched his sword: "General Bai, let him go."
Bai Su did not give up his position: "The cause and effect?"
"Explain it to the general in person later." Chu Yao was furious. He wanted to see if Gu Chi would really go crazy and solve the problem.
Gu Chi grabbed a war horse and headed straight out of the city.
He rushed to Shiliting first, and Chu Yao followed closely.
[Isn’t he the colleague who came to see you off? 】
[He is a colleague, and he is also half an enemy. 】
Gu Chi glanced from a distance, then retracted his sword when he was about to meet Luan Xin's gaze, and sheathed the slightly drawn sword. On the way back, he was silent. Chu Yao had expected this result, so he just followed up on horseback: "The civil strife in the Wu Kingdom was caused by mutual suspicion. The suspicion on one side can be resolved, but the suspicion on both sides is powerless."
Gu Chi still didn't speak.
"Guess why I came to you first instead of the Lord?"
A flat thunder exploded in Gu Chi's ears. He stared at Chu Yao: "You mean, the crux of this problem is me?"
This time it was Chu Yao's turn to remain silent.
Isn’t the answer obvious?
Chu Yao said: "A gentleman talks about his deeds regardless of his heart. We have been officials together with Zhengyi for many years, so you should know his character. Even if Zhengyi really knew that Qiu Wenyan's death was ordered by the Lord, he would not harm the Lord. The possibility of self-destruction is greater. I know you don’t want the Lord to be frustrated, but have you ever thought that the Lord also cares about you?”
It's okay for Gu Chi to do nothing.
Once this is done, the blow to the Lord will be doubled.
"This time's 'Blooming Flowers' is about you."
Gu Chi suddenly came to his senses after hearing the words, and was surprised to find that cold sweat had broken out on his back. His inner clothes were stuck to his skin, and his whole body was itching. Thousands of ants were crawling across his body. He looked at the sword in his hand, and his eyes suddenly flickered. In a trance, the sword seemed to turn into a snake wrapped around his wrist, raising its head high over the mountain -
A wave of coldness hit Tianling Gai directly.
For a long time, Gu Chi heard himself murmuring: "I will not kill Luan Gongyi, but if he wants to hinder the Lord, then let him kill me. One life is worth a life. I will repay the debt of Qiu Wenyan's life on behalf of the Lord!"
