Invincible son

Chapter 1035 1036 [End of the road]

Huazhou, Guide City.

The Beijing army defeated the barbarian army in the wilderness, wiped out nearly [-] enemies in World War I, and the news that Pei Yue was about to lead his bodyguards back to Guide City to rest spread throughout the city. , don't have to worry as much as before.

When the barbarians were rampant, many people were even prepared to move their families south to avoid becoming slaves to those barbarians.

Now that the overall situation has been settled, the remaining barbarians are not enough to cause trouble, and all parts of northern Xinjiang are gradually returning to their former vitality.

The dignitaries and dignitaries in the city not only held a grand banquet in the mansion, but even generously distributed money to the poor people, creating a festive scene of universal celebration.The reason why they want to do this is, on the one hand, to put gold on their faces to create a benevolent image, and on the other hand, they naturally want to take this rare opportunity to show their goodwill to the Zhongshan Hou.

After this battle, Pei Yue's position in the army has become more and more stable, and the credit for destroying the barbarian army is second. The key is that he has proved his ability with iron-like facts.From the western border to the southern border and then to the northern border, he used one victory after another to forge a golden body.If he had to rely on the favor of Emperor Kaiping to compete with Wang Pingzhang back then, now he obviously has the confidence to be evenly matched.

There are many smart people in the world, and it is impossible to send charcoal in the snow, but it is not difficult to add icing on the cake. At the moment when Pei Yue returned to the three northern states with the power of great victory, countless dignitaries bowed their knees and waited, just to present the most respectful smile to Pei Yue .

In Xuandebo Mansion, the atmosphere is completely different.

The domestic servants were cautious even when walking in the front yard, no one dared to make loud noises, let alone talk about the great victory in the wilderness that had already been rumored outside.

Xuan Debo Guo Linxi stood in front of the window, looking at the flowers gradually blooming in the courtyard, the worry in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed.

Previously, Wang Jiuxuan conveyed to him the forecast of the wasteland war through Wang Daxi. Even though he was prepared in his heart, after receiving the good news from the messenger, Guo Linxi still couldn't believe it. Silence like a cicada.

There were more than [-] private soldiers of the royal family and the barbarian army, but they were wiped out by Pei Yue's northern camp, and only more than [-] people escaped.

Guo Linxi only felt a chill in his heart, and then began to worry about his own fate.

Standing in a corner of the study, Wang Daxi stared at Guo Linxi's motionless back, and said calmly: "Uncle Guo, there is no need to worry about things now, let him be happy for a few more days."

Guo Linxi understood his subtext, when Pei Yue entered Guide City, it was like stepping into a killing situation that had been planned for many days.

He turned around and asked in a puzzled manner: "Brother Wang, why don't you feel any pity that seven thousand elites were buried in Pei Yue's hands?"

Wang Daxi showed a wry smile, shook his head and said: "Of course I feel distressed, but what can I do? The Duke built this army in the first place to prepare for emergencies. Originally, he planned to use this strange army to cooperate with the barbarians to kill Gu. Liang, he just changed his target some time ago. I have to say that Pei Yue is indeed an extremely difficult enemy, not only is the city mansion like the sea with far-reaching plans, but his ability to lead troops to fight is as close as that of the Duke of the State."

Guo Linxi said quietly: "Even you say that, why should I use my mantis as a car? Why don't I take my family and escape here before Pei Yue arrives."

Wang Daxi said calmly: "Uncle, you are joking. If you don't leave, you still have a chance to come back. Once you escape, no matter which side gains power in the future, you and your family will not end well."

Guo Linxi didn't care about the threat in his words, and sighed with a complex expression: "Yes, who told me to be the Duke of the country many years ago, so I can only go one way. But, can you tell me, Brother Wang? , What are the chances of the Duke of the country winning in the capital?"

Wang Daxi thought for a moment and said: "Master Guo didn't tell me the details of the plan, but based on what I know about him, since he decides to make a move, there is at least a [-]% certainty."

"Fifty percent is indeed enough." Guo Linxi sighed softly, then stared into Wang Daxi's eyes, and said slowly: "You brought the masters from the Duke's Mansion here, there must be another purpose to stare at me, no Allow me to leave with my family, so as to give Pei Yue a chance to deal with me, so that he will come to Guide City."

Wang Daxi thought for a while, and said calmly: "That's true. The outcome of the battle in the wilderness will not determine the final outcome. It is gratifying that Pei Yue died, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't die, as long as he can stay in the northern border."

Guo Linxi asked again: "Is this the meaning of the Duke?"

Wang Daxi shook his head, and said softly: "This is what the young master thinks."

Guo Linxi knew in his heart that he had no choice or way out, and now he could only fight to the death.

He knew very well that even if he was lucky enough to assassinate Pei Yue, the road ahead would be full of thorns, and the arrogant soldiers under Pei Yue's command would definitely fight back frantically.Taking a ten thousand step back, even if he can control the situation in northern Xinjiang, he still has to wait for the dust to settle in the capital. Once Wang Pingzhang loses, what awaits him is the fate of ransacking his family and exterminating his family.

However, when he was determined to follow Wang Pingzhang in planning for the barbarians, the current situation was doomed.

Thinking of this, Guo Linxi took two deep breaths, and said in a deep voice: "Information was sent back from the border, Pei Yue returned with thousands of horsemen, and the main force remained in the wasteland. During this time, I have completed the deployment of troops in the Xuanhua Camp Once Pei Yue dies, the situation can be suppressed. However, the assassination still needs a long-term plan, not only Pei Yue himself has advanced martial arts, but he also has many masters around him."

Wang Daxi smiled and said: "Naturally, I will fully cooperate with Uncle's plan."

……

A few days later, the north gate of Guide Mansion City was opened wide, gongs, drums and firecrackers blared to welcome Pei Yue, the Marquis of Zhongshan who was triumphant.

To the disappointment of the gentry and common people in the city, the young Marquis did not show up. It is said that he caught wind and cold on the way back.Coincidentally, Xuande Bo Guo Linxi, who was acting as the head coach of Xuanhua Daying, also did not appear, because he was bedridden with a relapse of an old disease a few days ago, so he had to send his eldest son to greet him on his behalf.

After the news of Pei Yue's illness spread, all kinds of precious medicinal materials flocked to the official residence where he stayed, and some even brought famous doctors to visit him directly, but none of them were allowed to enter.

The next day, a spacious carriage left the official residence and arrived at Xuandebo Mansion under the escort of five hundred elite cavalry.

The middle door was wide open, Guo Linxi with a sallow complexion, surrounded by Wang Daxi and dozens of servants, walked slowly outside the gate of the mansion, looked at the carriages on the street in front of the mansion, bowed and saluted, "Humble Guo Linxi, congratulations to Marquis Pei for his decisive victory!" The destruction of the barbarians in the wilderness is the blessing of the people in the three states of Northern Xinjiang, and also the blessing of the Daliang court!"

The cavalry looked on indifferently, and the air around them seemed stagnant.

Guo Linxi kept this posture motionless until a sneer came from his ear.

He suddenly raised his head, and saw a young man coming out of the carriage, looking at him with handsome peach blossom eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Uncle Guo, do you still remember Zhang De?"

Guo Linxi's complexion changed drastically.

Gu Fan raised his eyebrows and looked at the smoky Earl's Mansion, and then looked at the servants around Guo Linxi who had shining eyes, and asked with great interest: "Do you want to give it a go? Try it, these masters around you Can you kill me in an instant? Although you can't kill Pei Yue, if you can kill Gu Liang's son, you can be regarded as worthy of Wang Pingzhang's cultivation of you."

Guo Linxi and Wang Daxi looked at each other, and there was a look of fear in their eyes.

At the moment when they were stupefied, Gu Fan yelled sharply: "Guo Linxi's crime of colluding with the enemy and treason is convincing. According to the order of the Marquis of Zhongshan, Pei Yue, he will be taken down for punishment by the court. From now on, anyone who dares to help him will be regarded as the same crime."

His stern gaze swept across the people in front of the mansion, and said word by word: "Resisters, kill without mercy!"

Guo Linxi was so upset that he shouted in despair: "Framed! This is framed!"

With a wave of Gu Fan's hand, several guards of the Zang Front came out escorting two young men who were described as tired. Guo Linxi's eyes went dark, because these two people were his internal agents in Jiuli Pass, and they were the ones who quietly opened the door to let the barbarians go. Entry.

At the same time, the Tibetan front guard cavalry marched forward.

Guo Linxi has led troops for many years, so how could he fail to see the other party's determination and killing intent? If Pei Yue was still here, he would definitely take risks regardless of everything, but the other party obviously saw through his thoughts, and might not even be in Guide City.

How can it be?

He has been the deputy commander of Xuanhua Daying for more than ten years. Of course, the power in his hands is not limited to those around him. There are backups in the mansion and the city, but all of this is based on the killing of Pei Yue.

What's the point of killing Gu Fan if you put all your eggs in one basket?
He had been preparing for so long, all he wanted was to kill Pei Yue, but the other party didn't show up at all. This helpless and hateful result instantly broke his psychological defense.

Letting go now, at least temporarily save everyone's life, waiting for a turning point in the capital.

After a long silence, Guo Linxi smiled miserably, turned around and walked towards the mansion, and at the same time said loudly: "Unless Pei Yue comes personally, no one can condemn me!"

Gu Fan looked at the other party coldly, and didn't say anything to stop him, but just waved his hands to let the Zang Fengwei surround the Earl's Mansion.

After all, Guo Linxi is the temporary head coach of Xuanhua Daying, and he has been operating here for many years. If he jumps over the wall in a hurry, it will inevitably cause casualties to Zang Fengwei.According to Pei Yue's explanation before leaving, he only needs to trap the other party, and wait for an imperial decree to punish him.

Wang Daxi's face was gloomy, not because Guo Linxi didn't fight to the death, but because Pei Yue never showed up.

As for his own safety, he has been deeply favored by the Wang family for decades, and he has already put his personal life and death aside, and he can face it calmly even if he faces death.

Wang Daxi took a deep breath, did not make any drastic moves, faced Gu Fan and then slowly retreated back into the mansion.

Fortunately, he left some people in the dark, and they will definitely be able to send the news of Pei Yue's disappearance back to the capital in time.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at the southern sky.

I don't know if the knife in Kyoto can be swung smoothly?

I hope the Lord of the Kingdom can get his wish.
