Invincible son

Chapter 1009 1010 [For Whom the Bell Tolls]

Guo Linxi had a lot of aides around him, Xie Huaijing was the only one who could really be trusted.

Even so, he still has many secrets that he does not know, or what Xie Huaijing sees is only the tip of the iceberg.

I don't know if it's because the chess game has reached the middle game and there is no need for some hidden players to hide it anymore, or because Guo Linxi is under too much pressure and needs someone to confide in. After hesitating for a while, he continued: "The death place in the wilderness was originally prepared for Gu Liang. of."

Xie Huaijing said in surprise, "Marquis of Guangping?!"

Guo Linxi took a sip from the teacup on the table, moistened his throat and said, "Many people think that Ge Shuyi belongs to Wei Guogong. After all, he is not a warrior. Maybe even Ge Shuyi himself thinks so Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain how a mediocre person like him could cross that natural barrier, transform from a command envoy to a frontier battalion commander, and his title would rise step by step."

There was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said disdainfully: "Without Wei Guogong's secret support, why should he have such a fortune?"

Xie Huaijing agreed: "Wei Guogong's move is probably hidden from His Majesty."

Guo Linxi said: "Do you still remember Li Bingzhong, Marquis of Fengcheng? In fact, this is a similar approach. It is precisely because Li Bingzhong is not capable enough that His Majesty will rest assured that he will be in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies as Wei Guogong's confidant. People like this It can't play a role in controlling the overall situation at all, if His Majesty wants to attack Wei Guogong, he can use Li Bingzhong's weakness to threaten Wei Guogong logically."

Xie Huaijing suddenly realized: "It's no wonder that after Li Bingzhong was removed from office, Wei Guogong didn't fight for him, and he didn't remind him when the fourth prince plotted against him."

Guo Linxi's eyes were deep, and he said softly: "When the fourth prince conspired against him, Wei Guogong followed His Majesty out of the capital, and after His Majesty fell into a coma, he pretended to be forced to hand over the power to Pei Yue, and left himself clean from beginning to end. Li Bingzhong participated Obviously, he cannot be implicated in the conspiracy. That is, when the fourth prince failed in the conspiracy, Wei Guogong sent someone to find me, and asked me to gradually put away the foreshadowing he planted on the wasteland."

Xie Huaijing quickly thought of a possibility that shocked him, and tremblingly said: "Wei Guogong originally wanted to deal with the Marquis of Guangping, so doesn't that mean that his real goal is actually..."

He didn't dare to say what happened next.

Now that the confrontation in the army has become established, Wang Pingzhang and Gu Liang each hold a part of the power in the West Mansion. Although he has a deeper foundation in the army, Gu Liang has Pei Yue's strong support, and the two sides can probably form a subtle relationship. balance.Emperor Kaiping was aloof, and as long as he was in the middle of the ruling and occasionally favored the weaker side, he could firmly control the power.

But if Gu Liang died in the wilderness, the military structure would be out of balance in an instant. Wang Pingzhang, with decades of accumulation of background and connections, would probably fall into the trap of Emperor Kaiping in terms of his obsession with pacifying the world. situation.

But as long as Wang Pingzhang takes that step, it means that the superficial calm will be broken, and both sides will lose room for change, and the next step will inevitably be bloody.

Guo Linxi said slowly: "Wei Guogong also did this out of helplessness, because what your majesty wants is not only his position as the left army plane, but also intends to completely eliminate the influence of the Wang family in the army. Wu and Nanzhou are gradually showing signs of defeat, how could he miss the opportunity to deal with the powerful people in the army."

Xie Huaijing was filled with emotions, and only sighed that the situation in the court was so complicated that it was like seeing flowers in a fog. If Guo Linxi hadn't taken the initiative to talk about these key points, he would not have understood the strangeness at all.

Thinking of Pei Yue who had already led the army into the wilderness, Xie Huaijing suddenly felt a toothache, and reminded: "Uncle, the Tibetan Front Guard under Pei Yue's command is powerful, and it may be difficult for the barbarians to succeed. Even if he underestimates the enemy and falls into a trap carelessly, as long as he retreats in time, he will be fine." There is a good chance of escaping."

Guo Linxi said calmly: "When you advised me not to follow Wei Guogong to the end, you asked me why I have been sitting on my brother Shu Yi for so many years, why I didn't drag him from the position of coach earlier. Now You should understand that a person as ambitious and talented as Ge Shuyi is a barrier in front of me, and only with his cover and shield can I arrange everything calmly."

Xie Huaijing said at the right time: "Uncle is far-sighted, I am ashamed that my disciples can't match."

Guo Linxi smiled and said: "You and I have known each other for many years, so there is no need to be so careless. Xuanhua Daying has a staff of 4. Over the years, Brother Shuyi has made [-] vacancies through me. I gave him a large share, but This does not mean that I have to learn how to drink soldiers' blood. In short, the actual strength of the Xuanhua camp is more than [-] people, and some of them are hidden in the dark. Guess where these people are now ?”

Xie Huaijing said in shock: "Wasteland?!"

Guo Linxi said leisurely: "The so-called death, of course you can't pin all your hopes on the barbarians. Pei Yue is too confident, and the battle in Xing'an Fucheng will probably make him underestimate the strength of the barbarians. After he fights with the barbarians, based on his past performance If you come out with a desire for military merit, you will definitely do your best."

Xie Huaijing said happily, "No matter whether he can defeat the barbarians or not, uncle's followers can make him die without a place to bury him."

Guo Linxi was still able to remain calm at this moment, and said with a smile: "Not only that, I told you this today because I hope you can complete the last step for me."

Xie Huaijing finally understood, without any hesitation, he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My uncle was lucky enough to take me in when I had nowhere to go, and I have appreciated it for more than ten years. I am willing to go through fire and water for my uncle."

Guo Linxi stood up and said solemnly: "If it wasn't for killing Pei Yue, I wouldn't let you take risks, but now is the critical moment, and I must rely on the violence of the two knives in your hands."

Xie Huaijing nodded and said: "Uncle, don't worry, even if Pei Yue can defeat the barbarians and survive from the henchman prepared by Uncle, his disciples will definitely bring back his head."

Guo Linxi said with satisfaction: "Okay, very good. I have raised those people in the mansion for so many years, and you have been in charge of them all the time. Let's take them all away. One more person will give us more confidence."

Xie Huaijing said: "The subordinates take orders!"

Guo Linxi put his hand on his shoulder and said seriously, "Thank you."

Xie Huaijing shook her head, then suddenly asked: "Uncle, I have a doubt in my mind, I don't know whether to ask it or not."

Guo Linxi said gently and honestly: "But it's okay to ask."

Xie Huaijing stared into the other person's eyes, and asked in a slow tone: "Uncle wants to kill Pei Yue, just because he wants to eradicate the barbarians, so there is no need to set up a large camp in northern Xinjiang in the future?"

Guo Linxi thought for a while, and said calmly: "If he doesn't die, I will never be able to leave this bitter cold place. Whether the barbarians exist will affect whether I can keep my position as the commander of the frontier battalion. Whether Pei Yue is still alive is related to me. Can we go further in the future? Huai Jing, let me tell you, after a hundred years, the middle class of Daliang Army has long solidified, and a martial artist like me from a poor family has no chance to get close to the core. I don't just want to use Pei Yue's head As an advanced step, I want to use this opportunity to change everything."

Xie Huaijing asked hesitantly: "Uncle, if the barbarians are powerful—"

Guo Linxi cut off his words and said firmly: "There are some things more than Pei Yue can do. I'm just using the barbarians, and I won't give Lie Jiaomi a chance to gain a foothold. After Pei Yue's death, I will naturally raise my troops and kill all the barbarians for this." A first-class prince will take revenge."

"The door understands." Facing the other party's sincere eyes, Xie Huaijing said softly: "Uncle, don't worry, the door will definitely fight to the death."

Guo Linxi said again: "Thank you!"

Xie Huaijing smiled slightly, saluted and left.

Leaving this seemingly unattractive Earl's Mansion and walking on the spacious streets in the mansion, Xie Huaijing's mind is not about the next killing situation, but the scenes from childhood to adulthood.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

Suddenly a melodious and majestic bell sounded in his ears, Xie Huaijing took a look at the gradually darkening sky, and knew that it was the monks in the Baoen Temple in the north of the city ringing the famous big bell.

Having lived in Fucheng for many years, Xie Huaijing has long been used to the sound of the bell, and there is nothing strange about it today, but his heartbeat is gradually speeding up with the sound of the bell.

It seems to have an unknown meaning.

Facing the new wind like a knife, Xie Huaijing couldn't help tightening her clothes.
