Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1201 His Purpose
Gu Huaijun kicked Tu Su's dagger away and placed the sword across his neck.

The young man's prowess and impetus are fully displayed in this one and a half moves.

He looked at Tu Su and said solemnly, "His Royal Highness the uncle gave you a new life, but you chose the path of death."

Tu Su showed a disapproving sneer: "The so-called new life means living in the dark with that old bald donkey until he dies?"

Gu Huaijun said quietly: "You only have one chance. If you return to Puze Temple, His Highness will forget the past."

Tu Su raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise?"

Gu Huaijun said loudly: "Anyone who harms Da Qin will be killed without mercy!"

Tu Su looked at Liu Xiaojie with a profound look, but he said to Gu Huaijun: "Then, kill him!"

"In this lifetime, I will never stop hating the Qin Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, and everything that makes my life worse than death. As long as I live for one day, this world will never have peace!"

Gu Huaijun understood that Tu Su was deliberately irritating him.

Whether to kill or not to kill is up to him.

He closed his eyes as if he had made some important decision.

As a result, he formed a sword flower with the hand holding the sword, and the blade was about to cut Tu Su's neck.

But in the next moment, Liu Xiaojie blocked Gu Huaijun's sword.

"Thank you, General!" Tu Su chuckled, turned around and ran away quickly.

His movement attracted the guards, and in an instant torches were lit up quickly, and there were shouts.

Gu Huaijun wanted to chase, but was stopped by Liu Xiaojie: "Your opponent is me!"

Gu Huaijun looked at him for a long time and finally put away his sword.

He said: "General Liu, you are so confused!"

Are you not confused?

The purpose of Tu Su was to assassinate Liu Xiaojie. As long as Liu Xiaojie, a high-ranking official in the border area, died, the border area would be in chaos.

However, Tu Su's assassination plan failed due to the appearance of Gu Huaijun, so he used Liu Xiaojie's guilt to make Liu Xiaojie block Gu Huaijun.

Once there is a conflict between Liu Xiaojie and Gu Huaijun, it will inevitably be reported to the court.

A sudden change of commander is also a very risky thing. At this juncture, there cannot be any turmoil.

When Liu Xiaojie saw the guards' shouts fading away, he dropped his sword on the ground: "General, I will bear all the mistakes I made."

Gu Huaijun did not arrest Liu Xiaojie immediately, but took out the token and said: "The lower official is Gu Huaijun of Qianhu, Qilin Weidong, who has come to Guiyan City to assist General Liu by divine order."

Liu Xiaojie was surprised: "Since I am a supervisor sent by the imperial court, why don't you bring me to justice?"

Gu Huaijun said: "His Royal Highness Taishu and King Xingyang are going to Izumo for business. The hostile forces lurking in the dark will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble. The general is the pillar of the country, how can anything happen at this time?"

"I hope that before His Highness returns, the general and the official can work together to guard Guiyan City. As for the mistakes made by the general, after the matter is over, the official will tell the truth to His Highness."

Liu Xiaojie hesitated for a while, then suddenly laughed: "Master Gu, aren't you afraid that the general will attack you because he is worried that the scandal will be exposed? After all, only dead people cannot speak."

Gu Huaijun said: "Before I rushed to Guiyan City, my Majesty and His Highness ordered me to trust the general unconditionally no matter where and when."

"Your Majesty must have his reasons for believing that the General is doing this. Your Majesty will decide whether it is right or wrong. You have no right to judge the General's behavior." "What I can do is trust the General, just like Your Majesty and Your Highness do." The general will never harm Great Qin."

The corners of Liu Xiaojie's lips trembled violently, as if he was filled with exciting and complex emotions, so intense that he could hardly control himself.

Finally, he walked to the case, wrote down his mistakes on the paper, and handed it to Gu Huaijun: "The cause and consequences have been stated in the paper. Please express to Your Majesty, Sir, that I am willing to bear all the consequences."

Gu Huaijun did not hesitate and carefully put the fold away.

Finally, Gu Huaijun said: "His Royal Highness the uncle mentioned the matter of the princess of Hancheng to the lower official. Regarding the personal relationship between the general and the princess, the lower official is generally clear."

"I dare to remind the general that Prince Tusu is probably controlled by Emperor Shitian, otherwise he would not have escaped the pursuit of the Qilin Guards and come to you."

"He will be an extremely dangerous person. If he is not careful and he finds an opportunity, it will be a big problem for him to return to Yancheng with hundreds of thousands of prisoners."

"We have sacrificed so many people to achieve the current situation. I hope that when the general faces Prince Tu Su, he will not just regard him as the heir of the Princess of Seoul, but treat him as a threat."

Liu Xiaojie nodded: "General, I understand."

Gu Huaijun looked solemn: "Tu Su's assassination failed. I wonder what kind of action he will take?"

Liu Xiaojie calmed down and said: "Starting with prisoners is the best choice; inheriting the throne of Northern Qi and uniting the eight tribes of the grassland to attack Qin is the winning choice; assassinating this general again is the worst choice."

Gu Huaijun nodded: "The general is right, but Prince Tu Su attributed all the sufferings suffered by their mother and son to Northern Qi and Da Qin because of the incident with the Hancheng princess and what happened to him as a child."

"Therefore, he hates these two countries. It is not ruled out that he will use all means to make both Da Qin and Northern Qi lose. He also asked the general to inform the subordinates of the details of Guiyan City, and we will prepare countermeasures immediately."

Liu Xiaojie agreed and said: "Master Gu is really a young hero. Your assistance to me, General, is like divine help."

Gu Huaijun raised his hand and said, "General Liu is so complimentary."

Liu Xiaojie suggested: "Master Gu has just arrived in Guiyan City, and I'm afraid that the place to stay is not ready yet. Why not stay in my general's residence?"

Gu Huaijun declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, General. In fact, I have been in Guiyan City for some time, but I have to trace Prince Tu Su's whereabouts, so it is inconvenient to show up."

"As for where to live, general, don't worry. I have been ordered by His Highness Taishu to take good care of the pomegranate trees in Lu Mansion. I need to live in Lu Mansion permanently."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaojie did not insist on the matter. He said: "It is already late at night, please go back and rest early. Once there is news about the murder of Prince Su, I will inform Lord Gu immediately."

Gu Huaijun held up his hands: "General, I'm going to take my leave!"

Liu Xiaojie nodded.

After Gu Huaijun left, Liu Xiaojie's cronies walked in.

Liu Xiaojie asked: "What do you think of Gu Qianhu?"

The confidant said respectfully: "Gu Hanzhang is a rare talent, and his younger brother must not be too bad."

Liu Xiaojie pondered for a moment: "General, I am loyal to my duty, and my return to Yancheng is impregnable. But your Majesty suddenly sent the supervisory army here. What does it mean?"

The confidant hesitated: "I don't dare to speculate."

Liu Xiaojie frowned and thought: "If His Majesty really trusts me as much as Gu Qianhu said, he should have sent a deputy general, not a supervisor."

"The presence of the supervisory army means that the general is subject to the supervision of the army in every aspect. This is not a good sign."
