Rebel

Yong Chi's eyes gradually moved to the carved dagger on Gu Ao's waist, and that ray of cold light pierced into Yong Chi's field of vision like a blade.

He gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes and said: "Young man, why don't you just kill this king, and it's over once and for all?"

Gu Ao looked at Yong Chi and raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to die?"

After the words fell, Yong Chi's mind was spinning and thinking, although he knew that he had fallen into a desperate situation the moment he stepped into the abandoned Qiubei barracks just now, but the tenacity in his heart was still tight.He couldn't let go of any chance that might bring him a chance...

Under Gu Ao's gaze, Yong Chi finally got up in embarrassment, feeling a burning sensation all over his back. Yong Chi knew that it was a shame of humiliation... He tried his best to calm down and patted With the dust on his body, his face was frosty and he raised his eyes and looked at Gu Ao.

Yong Chi didn't know why, Gu Ao was clearly standing in front of him, looking down at him like that just now, supposedly with murderous intent, but at that moment, Yong Chi realized like a flash of light——If Gu Ao wanted to Killing him would have directly caused Huo Yi, who had pulled him to the ground, to kill him with a single blow, why bother to appear in front of him in person?

After a while, Yong Chi let out a sneer: "That's up to you!"

Is Gu Ao too ignorant and wants to humiliate him; or is he too confident and wants to make a deal with him?

As soon as Yong Chi's words fell, Gu Ao sneered: "Don't you dare? I don't know Dian! Drag the regent down and kill him!"

"Yes!" Dian Bushi stepped out from the surrounding crowd in one step, and rushed towards Yongchi. Seeing that Dian Bushi was wearing heavy armor, Yongchi subconsciously dodged quickly with a grabbing step, and Dian Bushi didn't see him again. Pounced forward, Yong Chi dodged again, Dian Bushi continued to chase, Yong Chi continued to dodge... Some of the soldiers surrounded laughed, and Gu Ao also laughed with the mocking meaning in his voice: "Everyone, take a look , Does the Regent's attitude look like a village cockfight?"

Only then did Yong Chi come back to his senses, he was furious for a moment, stopped in his tracks, and was immediately thrown to the ground by Dian Bushi.Like lifting a rag, Dian Bushi lifted the back of Yong Chi's neck and dragged it towards the edge of the guillotine. Yong Chi punched and kicked and roared angrily, "Zhu Zi! Shu Zi! If you want to kill him, kill him, why do you insult me?"

Yong Chi was carried up to the high platform step by step. He only felt a chill on his neck. Under the huge pressure, his head was firmly pressed against the side of the guillotine. Yong Chi closed his eyes forcefully, and opened them again. Let out a long breath, and said in a long voice: "Yong died for the country with his own body, and he will die without regret!"

As soon as the words fell, the guillotine fell with a click, and at that moment, Yong Chi pressed his lips tightly.

——However, what surprised Yongchi was why his neck didn't feel any pain even though the guillotine was ringing?

In the darkness with his eyes closed, Yong Chi could only hear Gu Ao's voice in his ears: "——The regent is so righteous and awe-inspiring, it is admirable."

Opening his eyes, the sunlight in the world is dazzling, and in front of him is Gu Ao's face with the light behind him, so he can't see clearly.

"You...you...you..." Yong Chi stood up tremblingly, and got up from the guillotine.

Gu Ao looked at Yong Chi, and sighed: "You want to die that much? And you asked me if I dare...Have you never heard of the Regent? People are under the eaves, bowing their heads is the right..."

As he spoke, Gu Ao paused, and went to the guillotine to help Yongchi himself: "...Regent, what did you say just now? I just want to invite the regent to enter the account."

Yong Chi looked at Gu Ao with undecided shock, and finally found his own voice: "Shameless!"

Gu Ao raised his eyebrows: "This way please!"

Yong Chi looked around at the armored guards lined with swords and coldness, gritted his teeth, and silently followed Gu Ao.As he descended the wooden steps, he realized that his legs were already a little weak, and his breathing was short of breath...

Under the glaring eyes of the crowd, he passed through the wall of people holding guns and halberds from the northern army and the Han army. Yong Chi tried his best to calm his breathing. He kept telling himself that since Gu Ao didn't kill him, There must be a plan, next time Gu Ao will play tricks again, and he must not lose his composure like this time.

Looking up, Yong Chi found that Gu Ao was already waiting for him standing in front of the northern army tent.

When Yong Chi approached, Gu Ao smiled and opened the curtain for Yong Chi himself.Yong Chi leaned slightly and went into the tent, but saw that Hanzhong's elite soldiers were defending the base in the corner, Gu Ao pointed to the seat in the middle of the tent, signaling to Yong Chi.

Only then did Yongchi regain his calm and gloomy expression, and said coldly: "Since you still call Gu the regent, you are Gu's subordinate. As a subordinate, you shouldn't be so obedient to Gu."

Gu Ao raised his eyebrows slightly, pulled the chair and sat down, raised his chin to indicate the empty seat opposite: "...Why, do you still want me to invite you?" Yong Chi snorted coldly, turned his head, and said nothing .

After all the twists and turns just now, Yong Chi's helmet has long since fallen off, and now his hair and temples have long been scattered, and a few strands of hair hang down gently from the tip of the raised phoenix eyes. The corner of his mouth showed his determination.

"It seems that I can't invite you, the Regent," Gu Ao looked at Yong Chi, and then waved, "Why don't you ask someone to invite you?" Several thick and strong soldiers stepped forward, and Yong Chi was cold After giving Gu Ao a cold look, he slowly walked to the middle seat, lifted his robe slowly, turned and sat down.

"That's right." Gu Ao nodded.

Gu Ao looked at Yong Chi, touched his chin again, and said: "Sure enough, the family members of the aristocratic family are different from our poor families. Now that they have been captured alive, what's the use of putting on a show?"

Yong Chi raised his eyebrows: "...Didn't you say, please enter the account for a small talk? Now that I have condescended to be here, just say what you have to say."

"Not busy, wait for someone."

Yong Chi said angrily: "Who else will join in this conspiracy?"

Gu Ao didn't speak, after a while there was the sound of horseshoes outside the camp, outside the tent Liao Quji jumped off his white horse and entered the tent hurriedly.As soon as he entered the tent, he smiled at Gu Ao: "Your Highness, so you are already here." Then he saw Yong Chi's messed up appearance again, he couldn't help being startled, and said: "Regent, you are really rude!"

Yong Chi slapped the back of his chair angrily: "You call him King of Han?"

Liao Quji sat down in the seat on the other side of Yongchi, and nodded with Gu Ao.

Yong Chi looked Liao Quji up and down, and sneered: "You are the one who ruined my affairs!"

Liao Quji said: "The regent calm down, we have no choice but to do so."

Looking at the situation in front of him, Yong Chi knew that the plan to delay the attack was useless.He originally thought that after getting the news that he was captured, the tiger and ben army would press up, not worrying about the ancients and not bowing their heads, and the worst plan was nothing more than death for the country.

But looking at it now, it is obvious that Liao Quji used the Jiangqu Army to restrain the Tiger Ben Fenwu Army in the camp, so that they could not move rashly. Otherwise, how could the faces of these two rebels have such a leisurely attitude?

Yong Chi snorted coldly, and squinted at Liao Quji: "Since you have invited an orphan to enter the account, what exactly do you intend to do?"

Liao Quji said: "I also hope that the regent will be safe and calm, and wait for a while."

Sure enough, after a while, Qiu Mu picked up the curtain and entered the tent with a stiff expression. Yong Chi stared at Qiu Mu coldly without saying a word.

Qiu Mu didn't dare to look into Yong Chi's eyes, he lowered his head, but still shivered, finally, he walked slowly to Gu Ao and sat down.

Gu Ao said: "So, everyone is here."

At this time, outside the tent, Tian Rong also came out of the carriage, just now the soldiers and horses fought in a scuffle, forming a group, he and Qiu Mu got out of the carriage, tiptoed to look, but couldn't see anything.

But Qiu Mu couldn't bear it first, returned to the carriage, turned his back on his back, panting with some difficulty, Tian Rong had to accompany him into the carriage, and comforted him for a long time.But Qiu Mu suddenly grabbed Tian Rong's hand, raised his eyes and said, "Mr. Tian, ​​it's lucky to have you here. Without you, I really don't know what to do."

Tian Rong slowly withdrew his hand, continued to comfort him, and the commotion outside calmed down. Chen Jiang came to report that the regent had been accounted for, and the second king invited Master Qiu to go.Only then did Qiu Mu get out of the carriage. In the sunlight, Tian Rong saw a thin layer of sweat on Qiu Mu's forehead.

Since someone greeted Qiu Mu, Tian Rong got out of the carriage, pulled Chen Jiang aside, and asked, "... Is that... ready?"

Chen Jiang nodded, and revealed half of the bamboo slips from his sleeve, and said: "It was drawn up earlier, and it was read by the King of Han and the Prefect Yu this morning. You rushed to Mr. Qiu's place yesterday in a starry night, but you were the only one who didn't know the details."

Tian Rong nodded and said, "The King of Han told me something before..."

Chen Jiang nodded, and handed the book in his sleeve to Tian Rong. Tian Rong unfolded the bamboo slips, said a few "good" words, and said, "This is very good."

Chen Jiang smiled wryly and said: "Yesterday, the King of Han had no choice but to make a decision."

Tian Rong sighed, and said, "The so-called mantis rushes to the cicada, and the oriole is behind, so we have to guard against it."

"Yes." Chen Jiang responded.

It turned out that after Gu Ao and Liao Quji conspired yesterday, they rushed back to the barracks overnight.Everything in the camp was quiet except for the bright candles in the big tent of the Chinese army, which leaked a gleam of light. Gu Ao took off his cloak and went inside, but saw Yu Junfan staring intently at a map of the battlefield under a flickering lamp.

Gu Ao walked up behind Yu Junfan and asked, "Have you gone to bed yet?"

Yu Junfan raised his face, turned his head and smiled: "...I want to wait for you to come back."

Gu Ao sighed, with worry in his eyes.

Seeing Gu Ao like this, Yu Junfan frowned lightly and asked, "Is the talk with Prince Jiangqu not going well?"

Gu Ao shook his head: "Using Jiangqu trilogy to restrain Huben, he is willing to join me, but he has been avoiding the matter of Zhu Yongchi."

"...Oh?" Yu Junfan raised his eyebrows.

Gu Ao paced around the tent with his hands behind his back, Yu Junfan said: "Tell me about the situation at that time?"

Gu Ao nodded thoughtfully, Yu Junfan thought for a while, and said: "Why don't you call Mr. Huai and Chen Jiang to discuss together."

Gu Ao said: "That's exactly what I mean." Yu Junfan sent someone to summon Huaixin and Chen Jiang, and Tian Rong went to Qiu Mu's residence on the way, but he couldn't attend the meeting.

Huai Xin went into the tent first, but he didn't go to bed, he saw that his clothes were not changed, and there were shadows in his eyes... Seeing Gu Ao, Huai Xin hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Ao, what's the matter?"

"Sit down, I'll talk later."

After a while, Chen Jiang also arrived, and Gu Ao briefly told the three of them about the conversation between Liao Quji and Liao Quji just now.

After listening, Yu Junfan lowered his voice: "...the Liao family, they have a good plan."

Gu Ao said: "...The schemes in King Jiangqu's mind are not difficult to infer. The Liao family wanted to lure me to kill Yongchi, and they will benefit behind their backs. Then, in the name of righteousness, they will turn against me to destroy me..."

"I'm afraid that I'm afraid of turning back..." Huai Xin leaned back in the chair and replied thoughtfully, "The Liao family is unwilling to take action because they see that the King of Han and the King Regent have a hatred for killing their father. The fisherman reaps the benefits."

Gu Ao frowned, and Yu Junfan stretched out his hand to gently hold Gu Ao's hand: "I know you want to kill the regent..." Gu Ao raised his eyes, looked at Yu Junfan, and Yu Junfan said softly: "I I just want to ask you a word, if Yongchi is punished, will the family have a second Yongchi? The mantis is attacking the cicada, and the oriole is behind. The Liao family wants to be the oriole, so the Liao family will not become the second Regent?"

Gu Ao said: "Liao Quji participated in the conspiracy, it has been agreed today that King Jiangqu's trilogy is outside to restrain Hu Ben, and if he doesn't rescue Feiqiu, he wants to get away? How can he get away clean?"

Yu Junfan said: "As long as he can 'rectify' the murderer who killed the regent for the family, the family will look forward to him, success or failure will be judged by the hero, so why worry that the Liao family will not lead the family? Such a big enemy of the prefect Although it has been rewarded, Hanzhong is also in danger."

"..." Gu Ao said nothing.

"Yongchi is deeply jealous of people from poor families, but the king of Jiangqu employs people in an eclectic manner. It is said that Xiang Xun Yusheng, the king under Jiangqu's rule, is a member of a poor family. King Jiangqu also recommends many people who open the door to the poor. Shanyun Academy is even more unfavorable..." Yu Junfan continued.

Mentioning Shanyun Academy, Gu Ao was stunned, recalling the tragic death of Yun Ang, it seemed that he was also inextricably linked with the Liao family, the feeling of grief rose and fell in his chest again, Gu Ao remained silent.

Huai Xin said: "At first, I thought that the Liao family would take the lead in order to fight for the top of the family, but I didn't expect it to be so."

Chen Jiangdao: "I was waiting for the misfortune to be brought to the east, but I didn't expect the Liao family to do the same."

Yu Junfan said to Gu Ao: "The current situation is really delicate. If Yongchi is punished in the name of the King of Han, the land of Hanzhong will become a dangerous place in an instant. Even if the Liao family does not turn against each other tomorrow, families from all over the world will come to encircle and suppress Hanzhong . This game is really dead."

Gu Ao sighed sadly: "...Now that things are going on, I can't kill him anymore?"

Yu Junfan lowered his voice: "My father used to have an army of 40, conquering Bashu and conquering the world, but he was still too hasty..."

"Today is different from the past, the aristocratic family is declining, and the poor family is rising..." Gu Ao said.

"..." Yu Junfan stretched out his hand and caressed Shang Guao's back: "When I was young, I lost my parents because of many aristocratic families. Don't I want to try my best to overthrow it? But the humble family can't afford to lose. Faster is slower..."

Gu Ao sat on the couch, and the air was filled with silence for a while.

Huai Xin walked up to Gu Ao and said, "Young Master Yu is right. Not only that, but if Yong Chi is killed, Shi Han will fight with each other, and the Rong people will benefit."

Gu Ao still didn't say a word, and after a while, he said slowly: "The world is so big, you can only draw it slowly, I understand. Righteousness comes first, and as the commander of the army, I can't be happy with friends and enemies." I also understand the matter. Since this is the case, there is another strategy. Just listen."
