The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 393
In the backyard of the Jiangling government office, although Wu Yi was temporarily under house arrest, no one dared to hurt him in the slightest.

One thing Wu Yi was very confident about was that Gan Ning didn't dare to kill him, and even tortured him, otherwise things would get out of hand, and even cause an earthquake-level accident in the Taiping Army.

However, Wu Yi couldn't protrude from the encirclement and create chaos. If he made a mistake in the chaos, he would die without knowing why and be wronged.

So he calmly sat in the room overnight, waiting for Gan Ning's next move.

With Guo Jia's power now in full swing, he would never allow self-respecting people under his command to appear, and Gan Ning's wild words last night have already sprouted some signs.

The sun was rising and the sun was shining brightly. The door of the room was pushed open from the outside. Wu Yi opened his eyes and saw the majestic and tall Gan Ning.

The door was closed again, Gan Ning walked slowly in front of Wu Yi, and said calmly, "Ziyuan, you and I have been friends for more than ten years, and you should know who a certain person is."

Wu Yi looked at Gan Ning with ups and downs. In fact, he admired Gan Ning from the bottom of his heart. He had always felt guilty because of Guo Jia's secret orders, but what Gan Ning said yesterday made him feel a sense of crisis in his heart.

This sense of crisis stems from his loyalty to Guo Jia, respect to Gan Ning, and loyalty to Guo Jia. If Gan Ning really starts to feel self-respect and pride, Wu Yi's respect for Gan Ning will disappear, and on the contrary, he will develop a sense of self-esteem. Kill the idea of ​​a crisis in its infancy.

Seeing that Wu Yi was silent, Gan Ning still said calmly, "Yesterday I made a slip of the tongue after drinking, can Ziyuan tell the truth, what do you think about it?"

Wu Yi sneered, and asked back: "If you dare to ask the governor, if it's just an inadvertent slip of the tongue, why did you end up here under house arrest?"

Gan Ning was at a loss for words, the matter developed to this point, in fact, the source was a slip of the tongue, and then Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin did not want Wu Yi to use the problem to take remedial measures, but used the wrong method, which made the situation tense. There is not even room to turn around.

In Wu Yi's eyes, his house arrest was obviously Gan Ning's move to cover up his ambitions, and Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others are very likely to form a party with Gan Ning for personal gain. Being in the situation, Wu Yi did not put himself in the situation and think about it. If he was Zhou Tai or Jiang Qin, what would he have done in the face of the situation at that time.

As a superior officer, he naturally wanted to cover up his unintentional mistakes. It was inevitable that accidents would arise or the situation would intensify. Naturally, he wanted to suppress the matter. It's a pity that although Wu Yi is nominally under Gan Ning's command, he was named by Guo Jia to guard the new city. Gan Ning is not something that can be easily dealt with.

Once Wu Yi has something good or bad in Jiangling, Guo Jia will definitely ask him to find out. Gan Ning will never be able to justify the matter and hide it from the past. Therefore, as long as Wu Yi abides by his duty, he will be safe and sound.

"Ziyuan means that someone is unfaithful to the lord? If someone lets Ziyuan go, what will Ziyuan plan to do?"

Gan Ning stared at Wu Yi intently, as calm as water.

Wu Yi was not afraid of Gan Ning, who was not angry and arrogant, and said lightly: "The governor is loyal or not to the lord. I will not dare to make a conclusion. What happened yesterday will be truthfully reported to the lord. It is up to the lord to decide."

After hearing this, Gan Ning held his head high and remained silent.

He could already hear the determination in Wu Yi's tone.

The most wrong thing about this matter is that both parties took a step forward. If Wu Yi hadn't been placed under house arrest, if he calmed down after returning to Xincheng, he would probably think that Gan Ning was angry or got carried away.

However, after being placed under house arrest, it seems that Gan Ning's intention to cover up the truth is getting darker and darker, which strengthens Wu Yi's guess about Gan Ning's self-respect.

This matter is no small matter, and Gan Ning is the leader of Jingzhou, which is at the throat of the world, so he has to be cautious.

How to deal with this matter is up to the lord.

Gan Ning suddenly changed his tone, stared at Wu Yi indifferently and said coldly: "Ziyuan, don't force me."

Wu Yi sneered even more.

"Why did the Commander-in-Chief make such a statement? The Commander-in-Chief's words yesterday and the general's house arrest, is there one thing that the General Commander fabricated?"

Gan Ning's expression changed slightly, revealing a stern look, and said in a deep voice: "If you are aggressive, then don't blame me for not remembering the past, if you can't get out of Jiangling, I will write a letter to the lord, and I will send generals to guard the new city , I have an army of 15 in Jiangling, and after the city of Fan is broken, I will tell my lord that it was you who conspired with Cao Ren to plot rebellion."

Do you cut first and play later?As long as there is a reasonable reason, Gan Ning can do so.

Wu Yi's expression changed drastically, not because Gan Ning wanted to harm him, but because Gan Ning told him another piece of news that shocked him.

"Gan Xingba! When my lord led his army back to Chengdu last year, Jiangling only left you 15 soldiers and horses. How did you get [-] troops?"

It seemed that Gan Ning noticed a slip of the tongue, slipped his mouth, and then raised a disdainful smile after being taken aback for a while.

"Cao Ren has [-] troops in Fancheng, how can he defeat it with only [-] troops? I recruited new troops within a few months, and it would be as easy as flipping the palm of my hand to defeat Fancheng."

Wu Yi stood up and wanted to draw his saber, but when he touched it, he remembered that his weapon had been taken away. He looked at Gan Ning and shouted angrily, "Gan Xingba! You recruited soldiers without permission, do you want to rebel?"

Recruiting soldiers is a matter that can only be decided by the monarch at any time. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to recruit local rebels to exterminate the Yellow Turban. Jia will not tolerate his generals recruiting soldiers privately, and all the heroes in the world will not tolerate it, because this is their path to rise, so how can they give others the opportunity to do the same?

Wu Yi rushed forward like a beast, Gan Ning threw a punch and hit the opponent's shoulder, Wu Yi staggered back a few steps and fell to the side of the bed, pressing his aching shoulder, when Wu Yi raised his head and looked at Gan Ning, he saw Gan Ning has already opened the door to leave.

"Great governor, don't make a single mistake and become eternal hatred!"

Wu Yi's shout did not get any response from Gan Ning, and the door was tightly closed.

Sitting on the cold floor in a state of desperation, Wu Yi's eyes were dazed, unbelievable!
Gan Ning went so far as to privately recruit soldiers and expand his army to 15!
If he had any rebellious intentions, Yizhou only had less than [-] soldiers and horses, and they couldn't stop Gan Ning at all!

Even if Zhang Liao from Guanzhong sent his troops south to the fire line for rescue, it would be difficult for him to cross the natural moat in Qinling Mountains and the dangerous Jiange Road in Hanzhong!
Wu Yi paced back and forth in the room, thinking more and more anxiously, he had to pass this news to Guo Jia.

Otherwise, when Gan Ning captures Fancheng, swallows the northern part of Jingzhou and even sweeps the Central Plains, what kind of power Gan Ning will develop at that time is unimaginable.

If Gan Ning really rebelled, Wu Yi expected that perhaps Gan Ning would burn Guo Jia's foundation, but it did not mean that Jinxiu Jiangshan would be acquired by Gan Ning.

Because Gan Ning is at best a military commander. If he wants to be a monarch, he lacks too much, and he is not enough to take charge of the overall situation. At that time, the situation of regaining the mountains and rivers will be fragmented again.

A distraught Wu Yi was anxiously thinking about countermeasures in the room. It was not until the red sun was sinking that the door was pushed open again.

Wu Yi was stunned to find that it was Pang Tong who came, and the other party took out a dagger from his arms after entering the door, which made Wu Yi fully alert.

"Did Gan Xingba ask you to kill someone to silence him?"

Wu Yi thought it was ridiculous after asking.

If he wanted to kill him, it would never be Pang Tong's turn.

Even if he is fighting the enemy with bare hands now, he can be said to be one Pang Tong, and ten Pang Tongs are courting death.

Pang Tong didn't say much, he turned the dagger in his hand and handed it to Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was puzzled, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Pang Tong looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "The general took me to leave Jiangling."

It turned out to be a rescuer!
Wu Yi took the dagger, hesitating. If Pang Tong was willing to help him, there must be a reason why Pang Tong did not help Gan Ning.

So Wu Yi told Pang Tong what was in his heart, and Pang Tong gave Wu Yi a definite answer with a serious face.

Wu Yi struggled, he didn't expect Gan Ning to turn his back on him today!

But Wu Yi also became puzzled, if Pang Tong knew all this and didn't want to collude with Gan Ning, why didn't he report it to Guo Jia?

Pang Tong saw his doubts, and said lightly: "Yizhou has no heavy troops to stop the commander-in-chief's counterattack. I will stay by the governor's side to secretly monitor his every move. Within a few months, I will encourage the governor-general to attack Fancheng by force. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, for the current plan, we can only hope that when the time comes, both sides will suffer, and after the army and horses under the command of the governor have dropped sharply, my lord will punish the governor for his crime of disobedience."

After Wu Yi heard this, he felt a bit more at ease. Pang Tong's words made sense. If Guo Jia were to ask Gan Ning to question him now, he might make Gan Ning jump over the wall in a hurry.

Without further ado, Wu Yi held Pang Tong hostage with a dagger and kicked open the door.

When the soldiers stationed outside saw Wu Yi holding Pang Tong out, they were shocked and turned pale. They didn't dare to act rashly, so they had to report to Gan Ning immediately.

Walking slowly towards the outside of the mansion, Wu Yi dragged the panic-stricken Pang Tong to the gate of the mansion. What he saw shocked him.

Gan Ning led the army to block the surrounding area of ​​the government office. Zhou Tai, Jiang Qindian, Man Xu Yi and Jiangling were all puzzled when they saw Wu Yi holding Pang Tong hostage.

How did things develop to this point?

"Wu Yi, are you looking for your own death?"

As soon as Gan Ning raised his hand, the archers around him stretched their bows and pointed their arrows at Wu Yi. It was obvious that Pang Tong, who was standing in front of him, was even more in danger.

Wu Yi changed his mind, and suddenly cried out that it was not good.

He ignored a problem, if Gan Ning shoots him and Pang Tong here, then everything will be over!

"Governor, as long as you let me go home safely, it will be as if today's incident never happened, and the final general will promise not to hurt Junshi Pang in the slightest."

Wu Yi's face was full of cold sweat. He wondered if Gan Ning and Pang Tong would also be buried here. If Gan Ning insisted on going his own way, then his current bargaining would obviously be useless.

Gan Ning looked at Pang Tong with a complicated face.

If Wu Yi dies with evil intentions, he can confess to Guo Jia.

But if even Pang Tong died, let alone Guo Jia, any official in Yizhou Prefecture would know that something strange had happened in Jingzhou.

After pondering, Gan Ning said to Wu Yi: "Wu Yi, I have trusted you once, so someone will bring him a horse."
