Once upon a time there was a mountain of secrets

Bai Xiaoxian shook his head and said: "Our strength is indeed dwarfed by His Highness the Crown Prince. We only know that the Crown Prince brought it back from Tianji Town. As for before... there is no trace."

Gu Moming nodded, as if he had expected this answer a long time ago.

Chen Zhongwei clasped his fists and said, "My subordinates have tried it out today, and this person seems to have no city. Could it be that he is just a cover for the crown prince, and it is the crown prince who really makes plans?"

Bai Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "Both times, I went to the enemy's camp in person, and I don't know any martial arts. What else is it if I don't rely on clever tactics?"

"Everyone in the civil and military courts knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on the front line. There is no trace of the Crown Prince at the court. The Crown Prince must not be in the imperial city. The guards around Gong Jiuqing are obviously the guards and secret guards next to the Crown Prince. Jiuqing is the person next to the prince."

"Gong Jiuqing's identity is unquestionable, the key is what the prince thinks? If Gong Jiuqing is just a counselor by his side, then just bring it with him, why let him replace him directly? The most fearful thing now is that the prince will eradicate the prime minister. Then the next target is you, the general."

Hearing Bai Xiaoxian's analysis, Chen Zhongwei couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Chen Zhongwei said: "Don't be so scary."

Bai Xiaoxian rolled his eyes at Chen Zhongwei, and then analyzed to Gu Moming: "The prime minister was killed in our army, although it was apparently killed by His Royal Highness the crown prince. But this crown prince is a fake..."

Hearing this, Gu Moming's brows couldn't help but wrinkled deeper and deeper.

When Chen Zhongwei heard this, Mao Sai suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the general is the prince's brother. It is impossible not to know that the prince is a fake. But let the prince kill the prime minister. If the prince bites back and pushes everything to you, the general .That's what to do."

Gu Moming looked at the pillow that Gong Jiuqing had just slept on a little messy, and said thoughtfully: "Gong Jiuqing is not that kind of person."

Chen Zhongwei also seemed to have some faith in Gong Jiuqing. After all, it was all because of him that the whole army turned defeat into victory.And after these two months of getting along, Gong Jiuqing is indeed a very cheerful and scheming person.

But Bai Xiaoxian said: "He doesn't have one. If he had one, he wouldn't try himself many times. But he doesn't have one, which doesn't mean the prince doesn't have one. Above the court, the prince's power and the prime minister's power have always been competing against each other. Now that one side has lost power, the balance has been disrupted. The prime minister's forces are bound to kill the prince all the time, and what if the prince shifts the responsibility to the general at this time..."

"What a borrowed knife to kill..." Chen Zhongwei gritted his teeth.

"It's not just killing people with a knife, but killing two birds with one stone."

Hearing this, Gu Moming couldn't help shaking the hands on his knees.

Bai Xiaoxian was Gu Moming's accompanist when Gu Moming was just a prince with no power and no one cared about him, and it can be regarded as growing up with Gu Moming since childhood.If anyone in this world knows Gu Moming best, then it must be Bai Xiaoxian.

Bai Xiaoxian clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, we are really passive and must act carefully. At the critical moment, we only have..." Bai Xiaoxian didn't finish speaking, but gestured for a kill.

And this killing would definitely not kill the prince Gu Moqian, so naturally it would be to kill Gong Jiuqing.

Gu Moming's eyes were slightly cold, and after a while he shook his head and said, "He came to me today, saying that he thought of a way to break this situation."

This game is naturally the game of the prime minister's henchmen.

Bai Xiaoxian turned his eyes slightly, and asked, "But I heard the details."

Gu Moqian nodded, and said: "He just asked me for the list of dead generals in the army. It seems that he intends to threaten the emperor with his military spirit."

Bai Xiaoxian frowned: "It's just like that?"

Gu Moming also nodded: "Well, but I think he looks quite sure."

Bai Xiaoxian crossed his hands in front of his chest, dragged his chin, and frowned in thought.He opened the mouth and said, "Then is there anything else the general needs to do?"

"No, he said that he has contacted the prince to collect Fang Qianyi's crimes, and then everyone will know..."

Bai Xiaoxian nodded: "It seems that Gong Jiuqing intends to forcibly suppress the prime minister's henchmen with military spirit and people first. If the effect is better, he can even suppress His Majesty's decision."

But Chen Zhongwei said: "Your Majesty is not a soft-hearted person." Chen Zhongwei said with a trace of hatred and dissatisfaction.Because when he said this, he remembered a bandit suppression a few years ago.

The government's disaster relief money was hijacked by bandits near a village. The court sent officers and soldiers to strangle all the bandits on the mountain. It was also heard that the surrounding village was a bandit den, which was wiped out overnight by the army.It was a great time.

But in fact, there was no money for disaster relief at all. At that time, there was a severe drought in the northwest and the treasury was empty.In order not to lose the hearts of the people, the emperor sent someone to pretend to escort the silver to be robbed.Even in order to confuse the real with the fake, he did not hesitate to massacre innocent villagers.

Later, this matter somehow got out of the wind, and there were complaints for a while.The emperor's last resort was to send troops to forcefully suppress them on the grounds of the mob.The people were afraid, and finally kept silent.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhongwei gritted his teeth with hatred.

Bai Xiaoxian knew what Chen Zhongwei was thinking of, so he patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Bai Xiaoxian said: "The emperor is not benevolent, but no matter how merciless he is, he is also the emperor. He knows the truth that water can carry a boat or overturn it. If it can really achieve the effect of mobilizing and crying for grievances, then it is impossible for the emperor to submit. Since Gong Jiuqing has found If we find a solution, then we don’t need to think about this issue. My main concern is the prince, and whether this method will work is secondary. The key is to see whether the prince wants this method to work.”

Gu Moming also nodded, and said: "The crown prince's ambition is no less than that of the emperor. Now that Fang Qian is dead, there is no one in the court to contend with him. If you except me, then no one in the army will object. And if If the emperor puts Fang Qianyi's death on my head, then the soldiers in the army will definitely be on the same level as the emperor, and thus become the crown prince's help."

Chen Zhongwei gritted his teeth and said, "The prince's heart is really vicious."

Bai Xiaoxian also said: "Prince, he is an out-and-out fox."

Gu Moming got up slowly, walked forward, and stopped by the wall where the long sword was hung.Then he stretched out his hand and took off the long sword.

The silvery white long sword was slowly pulled out, making a 'boring lang lang lang' sound, emitting a strange light in the dim room.When the long sword was completely drawn out, Gu Moming looked at the blade obsessively, as if admiring it.

The silver-white sword reflected his shadow like a mirror, and at the same time reflected the figures of Bai Xiaoxian and Chen Zhongwei behind him.

Gu Moming looked at the reflection of Chen Zhongwei in the blade of the sword, and said slowly: "I never thought of competing with him for the throne, but why does he press on every step of the way?" After Gu Moming finished speaking, something strange appeared in his eyes .

Chen Zhongwei and Bai Xiaoxian have followed Gu Moming for many years, so they naturally saw the strangeness in Gu Moming's eyes.

Immediately, the two agreed.

Bai Xiaoxian replied: "The prince is not pressing you every step of the way, but treating you like a pawn."

Gu Moming nodded, and said: "Yes, he has always been conceited, so naturally he treats everyone as a pawn."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Moming raised the long sword, but did not swing it out, but inserted it back into the scabbard.There is nothing superfluous in the movements, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

But at the last moment when the sword body and the scabbard were closed, Chen Zhongwei who didn't know when took a step back suddenly took out a small crossbow from behind, and shot it at the corner of the roof without hesitation.

There was only a muffled sound, followed by the sound of something heavy falling from a height to the ground.Then there were the footsteps of the surrounding soldiers, who seemed to be carrying the corpse away in an orderly manner.It didn't disturb Gu Moming and the others.

Gu Moming and Bai Xiaoxian looked in the direction of the voice, lost in thought...

After a long time, Bai Xiaoxian said: "It seems that the person who is the prince, if it is someone from other forces, should spy on the fake prince."

Gu Moqian nodded, agreeing with him very much. "The prince is probably already here. Since he didn't show up, something must have happened. Send someone to investigate."

Chen Zhongwei clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

Bai Xiaoxian also said: "Now we only have to take one step and watch one step."

Gu Moming nodded, raised his hand, and signaled them to back down.

Bai Xiaoxian and Chen Zhongwei didn't say much, they clasped their fists and turned to leave.

Gu Moming also took off his shoes and lay on the bed.

There is still a little residual warmth in the quilt on the bed, which is left when Gong Jiuqing fell asleep... Gu Moming's mind came up with Gong Jiuqing's defenseless appearance when he fell asleep...

Gong Jiuqing, are you 'all the way' with the prince...
