Chapter 1009 1010 [For Whom the Bell Tolls]

Guo Linxi had many staff members around him, and the only one he could truly trust was Xie Huaijing.

Even so, he still had many secrets that he didn't know, or in other words, what Xie Huaijing saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

I don’t know whether it was because the game had reached the middle of the game and there was no need to hide some secret players anymore, or it was because Guo Linxi was under too much pressure and needed someone to talk to. After a slight hesitation, he continued: "The execution place in the wasteland was originally prepared for Gu Liang.

of."

Xie Huaijing said in surprise: "Marquis Guangping?!"

Guo Linxi picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, moistened his throat and said: "Many people think that Brother Shuyi is a member of Wei Guogong. After all, he is not a brave person. Maybe even Brother Shuyi himself thinks so.

, otherwise it would be difficult to explain that a mediocre person like him could cross that chasm and transform from a commander to the commander of a side camp, with his title rising step by step."

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said disdainfully: "Without Wei Guogong's secret support, how could he have such an opportunity?"

Xie Huaijing agreed and said: "I am afraid that Wei Guogong's move was hidden even from His Majesty."

Guo Lin said happily: "Do you still remember Li Bingzhong, the Marquis of Fengcheng? In fact, this is a similar approach. It is precisely because of Li Bingzhong's lack of ability that your Majesty will rest assured that he will be in charge of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion as a confidant of Wei Guogong. People like this

It cannot control the overall situation at all. If Your Majesty wants to attack Duke Wei, you can use Li Bingzhong's flaws to threaten Duke Wei."

Xie Huaijing suddenly realized: "No wonder Wei Guogong did not fight for Li Bingzhong after he was removed from his official position, and the fourth prince did not remind him when he conspired against him."

Guo Linxi could still remain calm at this moment and said with a smile: "Not only that, I am telling you this today because I hope you can complete the last step for me."

Xie Huaijing stared into the other person's eyes and asked in a slow tone: "My uncle wants to kill Pei Yue just because he wants to eradicate the barbarians so that there will be no need to set up a camp in northern Xinjiang in the future?"

Xie Huaijing said: "I accept your orders!"

Xie Huaijing quickly thought of a possibility that shocked him, and said in a trembling voice: "The person Wei Guogong originally wanted to deal with was the Marquis of Guangping. Doesn't that mean that his real goal is actually..."

Guo Linxi raised her hand and put it on his shoulder, saying seriously: "Thank you very much."

But if Gu Liang dies in the wilderness, the military structure will be imbalanced in an instant. Wang Pingzhang is sitting on the foundation and connections accumulated over decades. Considering Emperor Kaiping's obsession with calming the world, I am afraid he will also fall into the trap of throwing rats away.

situation.

Xie Huaijing asked slightly hesitantly: "Uncle, if the barbarians become powerful -"

Guo Linxi stood up and said solemnly: "If it were not to kill Pei Yue, I would not let you take the risk, but now is a critical moment, and we must use the violence of the two swords in your hands."

Xie Huaijing shook his head and suddenly asked: "Uncle, I have a doubt in my mind. I don't know whether I should ask it or not."

Xie Huaijing smiled slightly, bowed and left.

Guo Linxi cut off his words and said firmly: "There are some things that not only Pei Yue can do. I am just using the barbarians and will not give Liejiaomi a chance to gain a foothold. After Pei Yue dies, I will naturally raise troops to kill all the barbarians."

A first-class prince takes revenge."

Xie Huaijing said in shock: "Wasteland?!"

Guo Linxi said calmly: "When you advised me not to follow Wei Guogong all the way to the end, you also asked me why I had been sitting back and watching my brother Shu feel superior to me for so many years, and why I didn't pull him out of the position of coach earlier. Now. Now

You should understand that a person as ambitious and talented as Ge Shuyi stands in front of me like a barrier. Only with his cover and shield can I arrange everything calmly."

Guo Linxi said again: "Thank you very much!"

Guo Linxi said slowly: "Wei Guogong did this out of helplessness, because His Majesty not only wants his position as Zuojunji, but also intends to completely eliminate the influence of the Wang family in the army. Our Majesty has great talents and broad plans, and is now in the West

Wu and the Southern Zhou Dynasty were gradually showing signs of defeat, how could he miss the opportunity to deal with the powerful factions in the army."

"I understand." Facing the other party's sincere eyes, Xie Huaijing said softly: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely fight to the death."

Xie Huaijing was full of emotions, but lamented that the court situation was so complicated that it was like seeing flowers in a fog. If Guo Linxi had not taken the initiative to talk about these key points, he would not have been able to understand the strangeness.

But as long as Wang Pingzhang takes that step, it means that the superficial calm will be broken, both sides will lose room for change, and there will definitely be bloodshed next.

Thinking of Pei Yue who had led the army into the wilderness, Xie Huaijing suddenly felt a toothache and reminded: "Uncle, the Tibetan Front Guards under Pei Yue are so powerful that it may be difficult for the barbarians to succeed. Even if he underestimates the enemy and falls into a trap, as long as he retreats in time, he can

It is very possible to escape."

Guo Linxi smiled and said: "We have known each other for many years, so there is no need to be so trivial. The Xuanhua camp has a staff of fifty thousand, and over the years, Brother Shuyi has created eight thousand free wages through me. I gave him a large share, but

This doesn’t mean that I have to drink the blood of soldiers like him. In short, the actual strength of Xuanhua Camp is more than 42,000 people, and some of them are hidden in the dark. Guess where these people are now

?”

Guo Linxi said leisurely: "The so-called death place, of course we cannot place all our hopes on the barbarians. Pei Yue is too confident, and the battle in Xing'an Fucheng will probably make him underestimate the strength of the barbarians. After he fights with the barbarians, based on his past performance

If you are eager for military glory, you will definitely try your best."

Guo Linxi's eyes were deep and he said softly: "When the fourth prince conspired to rebel, Wei Guogong followed His Majesty out of Kyoto, and after His Majesty fell into coma, he pretended to be forced to give up power to Pei Yue. He completely ignored himself from beginning to end, and Li Bingzhong was involved.

The rebellion obviously could not implicate him. That is to say, when the fourth prince's rebellion failed, Wei Guogong sent someone to find me and asked me to gradually put away the foreshadowing he had laid in the wasteland."

Leaving this seemingly unprepossessing Earl's Mansion and walking on the spacious streets of the city, Xie Huaijing's mind was not about the murderous situation he would face next, but about the past events from childhood to adulthood.

Guo Linxi thought for a while and said calmly: "If he doesn't die, I will never be able to leave this bitter cold land for the rest of my life. Whether the barbarians exist affects whether I can keep my position as the commander of the border camp. Whether Pei Yue is still alive affects me.

Can we go further in the future? Huaijing

, I'll tell you the truth, after hundreds of years, the middle class of the Liang Army has long been solidified, and a martial artist like me from a poor family has no chance to get close to the core. I not only want to use Pei Yue's head as a stepping stone, but also want to

Use this opportunity to change everything."

Xie Huaijing finally understood. Without hesitation, he stood up and said with his hands in hand: "When I was desperate, I was lucky enough to be taken in by my uncle. Over the past ten years, I have been extremely appreciated and valued. I am willing to go through fire and water for my uncle."

Xie Huaijing nodded and said: "Uncle, don't worry, even if Pei Yue can defeat the barbarians and survive by chance from the backhand prepared by uncle, my subordinates will definitely bring his head back."

He didn't dare to say the next words at all.

Nowadays, the opposition in the army has become strong. Wang Pingzhang and Gu Liang each hold part of the power in the Xifu. Although he has a deeper foundation in the army, Gu Liang has the strong support of Pei Yue. The two sides can probably form a subtle alliance.

Balance. Emperor Kaiping is aloof. As long as he makes decisions in the middle and occasionally favors the weaker side, he can firmly control the power.

Guo Linxi said happily: "Okay, very good. I have raised the people in the house for so many years and you have always been in charge of them, so I will take them all with me. One more person will give me more control."

"Dong-dong-dong-"

Guo Linxi said gently and honestly: "But it doesn't hurt to ask."

Xie Huaijing said with joy on his face: "No matter whether he can defeat the barbarians or not, my uncle's backhand can make him die without a burial place."

Xie Huaijing said at the right time: "My uncle is so far-sighted that I am ashamed that my disciples cannot match him."

A melodious and majestic bell suddenly rang in his ears. Xie Huaijing glanced at the darkening sky and knew that this was the famous bell rang by the monks in Baoen Temple in the north of the city.

After living in the city for many years, Xie Huaijing has long been accustomed to hearing the sound of the bell, and there was nothing strange about it today, but his heartbeat gradually accelerated with the sound of the bell.

It seems to have an ominous meaning.

Xie Huaijing couldn't help but tighten her clothes as the wind was like a knife.
