Chapter 67 Draw
"Nian Gengyao is showing his merits for us?" Hearing Gao Shiqi's words, Yu Zhong and Ma De were like suddenly swallowing two toads, their mouths wide open, and they didn't know what to say.
"Yes," Gao Shiqi looked at the two of them with a smile and asked, "Do you have any opinions?"
"Opinion?...Oh, no, no, no, we...not...this..." Yu Zhong danced with both hands, "Yaya" couldn't speak. Fortunately, Ma De was calm. After a while, he responded, "Gao Xiang, what you... are saying is true?"
"Yes, the emperor has added Nian Gengyao to the fourth-rank commander, and is preparing to reward Prince Gong and the two masters after the triumph. But he didn't expect that Prince Gong sent two masters here. It's such a coincidence...hahaha..." Gao Shiqi laughed.
"...Gao Xiang, aren't you really lying to us?" Ma De asked again with some uncertainty.
"Why should I cheat the two adults? You can go and inquire. You can keep the Qing Dynasty's Dragon Rise Land from being disturbed by traitors. This is a great achievement. The army has long been spread... The two adults will definitely make great achievements in the future, and their future is limitless."
...
Yu Zhong and Made were so shocked by Gao Shiqi's words that they couldn't tell the difference between the east, west, south and north. They were stunned for a while, but their minds were still full of confusion. They could only listen to Gao Shiqi continue to say.
"Originally, Prince Gong was ordered to take the lead in attacking Galdan. Although it was just a restraint, if it succeeded, it would be a great achievement, but unfortunately he was defeated by Galdan... However, I don't know if it was a blessing in disguise. After being sent to Fengtian by the emperor, he made great achievements with just over a thousand old and weak. The two masters were very lucky!"
"It's so lucky? It's a pity that I almost lost my life... Gao Xiang, you came here just to tell us this, right?" Yu Zhong finally replied a little, and couldn't help asking when he heard Gao Shiqi's ignorant words.
"Haha, the two adults are indeed worthy of being the ones who made great contributions when they first went to the battlefield. They are indeed calm enough!..." Gao Shiqi still smiled, but a trace of information began to appear in his words.
"Calm down? Gao Xiang, you are indeed prepared... Since Nian Gengyao has already made contributions to us, Gao Xiang, you are not here to capture us, right?" Ma De asked.
"Haha, of course not!" Gao Shiqi smiled.
"What do we mean by saying these?"
"Haha..." Gao Shiqi smiled and said seriously: "Don't you two know that they are at the forefront of the storm?"
"Please make it clear!" Ma De bowed.
"Well," Gao Shiqi was not polite, and turned around for a few times, saying, "The letter of Prince Gong in this battle near Fengtian was actually similar to what Nian Gengyao said, but there was a little difference in the situation that happened later... Do you know? Although Nian Gengyao annihilated Dorji's main force, he gave up the master's efforts to Prince Gong and the two masters. He told the emperor that it was because of his own mistake in judgment that almost made the war fall short. It was precisely because of this that the emperor changed the general who was originally intended to be granted to him to this commander... However, after receiving Prince Gong's letter, the emperor was a little unsure, and he didn't know whether Prince Gong was right or Nian Gengyao said right... Two masters, what do you think the emperor should deal with this matter?"
"us?……"
"Yes, both the two lords are sending letters for Prince Gong and the person involved. You must have an explanation about this matter, right?"
"We are on Prince Gong's side, Gao Xiang, can the emperor believe our words?" Ma De asked.
"Believe it or not, it's the Emperor's business... But whether you say it or not is the business of the two adults."
"What are you saying? Nian Gengyao is so terrible, how could we know he would come to retreat one and three? He gave us a testimony like this, but instead we wanted to compete with him for the merits, like a group of villains... Damn, if I had known this, I wouldn't have to travel so far to suffer this far?" Yu Zhong muttered.
"Yes, Nian Gengyao avoided the important things with this move, and described deliberately slow rescue as a strategic mistake, and easily pushed the crime of wanting to kill people to silence them. After all, he even pushed us the master's skills, who would believe that he would kill people to silence them because he wanted to snatch the merit? Humph, this move is really powerful, and he played us with it!" Ma De said gritting his teeth.
"Two sirs, you can't say this nonsense. Kill people to silence? Haha, do you have any evidence? Prince Gong's letter is also very uncertain, just mentioned it casually. Moreover, Nian Gengyao was very important to General Gu. Not long after he came back, he captured Galdan's son-in-law Musar on the battlefield, causing the most powerful troops under Galdan to lose their commander and eventually surrender to our army... Now, he is a rookie in the army and a model of more than 100,000 soldiers. The two sirs are now the emperor, and they will not touch him unless necessary..." Gao Shiqi said with a blink of an eye.
"Gao Xiang, what do you want to say?" Yu Zhong heard something in Gao Shi's strange words and asked directly.
"Mr. Yu and Prince Jing have a very similar temper, and they are a little anxious..." Gao Shiqi smiled again and said, "But since Master Yu, you asked this too, I won't talk nonsense anymore. In fact, I came here at the emperor's order this time..."
"Imperial Destiny?" Yu Zhong and Made looked at Gao Shiqi and hesitated whether to kneel down.
"You two adults don't have to be nervous. What the emperor means is actually very simple... I just hope that you can break up and rub this matter, and keep it in your heart from now on, and don't mention it again. At least, before the emperor returns to the capital, there will be no rumors in the army!" Gao Shiqi stared at the two and said seriously.
"No rumors can arise before returning to Beijing? Can you mention it after returning to Beijing?" Yu Zhong stumbled, feeling unhappy. However, since it was all like this, and there was no chance of winning against Nian Gengyao, a "fighting hero", without evidence, so he decided to take a step back and make a promise to Gao Shiqi readily: "...Okay, it's all like this, how can I mention it? We were afraid that Nian Gengyao would complain first when he saw the emperor. Now that things are like this, we will be very ignorant of our adversaries? Gao Xiang, don't you feel at ease, this matter will never be revealed from us anyway."
"Yes, this time we came, most of the people who brought us who had never participated in that war. Only those who knew about it were, let's just give it a message..." Ma De also said.
"Okay, since the two adults said that, I'm relieved!" Gao Shiqi smiled again, "Actually, with the relationship between the two adults, let alone Nian Gengyao, even if you have two more, it's not enough to deal with it!"
"Gao Xiang is joking, we don't have such great ability..." Ma De waved his hand. This year, Gengyao was able to turn his hands into clouds and rain with a small guerrilla general. From the emperor to the prince's commander, he could do anything to him for a while. Although it was because of the times, the tricks he used were indeed practical and powerful. Of course, Ma De dared not easily deal with such a person.
"Haha, the two adults underestimated themselves and looked up to Nian Gengyao again!" Seeing that Ma De was not confident, Gao Shiqi shook his head and smiled.
"How do you say this?" Yu Zhong asked.
"As the commander and have military achievements, the two will definitely be promoted soon; and behind them, there are two princesses, and the Fengtian Prefecture of "Jian Zai Di Xin", especially the two princesses, who also have swornship with the newly promoted imperial concubine Xiuzhuer... With all this, although Gengyao also had military achievements that year, he was just a flag slave of the Han military flag. How could he be the opponent of the two? Moreover, the two princesses also share the love of life and death with Prince Gong!" Gao Shiqi smiled and said with a smile.
"...Gao Xiang, I listen. You mean that you are encouraging us to deal with Nian Gengyao." Yu Zhong said.
"Where is it?... Lord Yu, you made a mistake. How could Gao encourage the two masters to deal with my heroes in the Qing Dynasty?" Gao Shi said with a strange look.
"No?"
"Of course not. Gao just felt that there was no need for Prince Gong to steal the matter to the emperor in order to deal with a small guerrilla general. Isn't it over just by saying it to the Ministry of War?" Gao Shiqi smiled and turned around and left.
...
"What does this guy mean?" Looking at Gao Shiqi's back, Yu Zhong touched his head.
"Smart, indeed smart... Why didn't I expect this?" Ma De was also thinking about Nian Gengyao's words, "This Gao Shiqi is indeed sharp-eyed... and suddenly thought of the key to the matter. Yes, although there is no evidence, if it is Prince Gong's fault, how could he risk being exposed? Then wouldn't he ask K? In his identity, let me tell the Ministry of War that even if Nian Gengyao made great contributions, the Ministry of War would not dare not to deal with him when the war was over. Besides, Nian Gengyao hurriedly reported the merits to Prince Gong and us. This is obviously a guilty act!"
"You kid just thought of this? I knew it a long time ago. It's a pity that there is no evidence. Even if you know it was Nian Gengyao's fault, it would be difficult to convict him!... To put it bluntly, no one on both sides can do anything to each other now." Yu Zhong sighed.
"Just blow it..." Ma De was in a good mood and made a contemptuous gesture to Yuzhong.
"Dare you underestimate me?" Yu Zhong saw Ma De expressing his disdain for him, so he fisted and leaned over, "I punish you to find Zhao Dahe and Xurikan, so that they can keep their mouths closed and don't talk nonsense, so that they can avoid the possibility of Nian Gengyao before he was cured. Let us take the charge of "shaking the morale of the army" first."
"Why don't you go by yourself? Zhao Dahe is your subordinate now..." Ma De fought back.
"My subordinates? Those Xurigan are still your slaves..."
"Stop coming, it's not mine, they belong to my wife..." Made pointed to the sky, "Most of our family's sky!"
"Hehe, I'm still my wife. Do you dare to say this to Luo Xin? If you say it, I want to see how she will hammer you to death!" Yu Zhong sneered.
"Being a hammer is better than selling oneself..." Ma De turned around and ran away before he finished speaking!
...
"Ahem cough cough..."
Yu Zhong was chasing Ma De, but he didn't expect that, but saw Gao Shiqi coming back. He didn't know what this guy wanted to do, so he had to stop chasing Ma De and asked carefully: "Gao Xiang, do you have something to do?"
"Ah, it's nothing, I just forgot to ask Lord Ma a question." Gao Shiqi replied.
"Me?" Ma De hid in the distance and pointed at himself, a little confused.
"That's right. When I came here just now, I heard from Master Yu that Lord Ma, you have been a 'reporter'. What is a 'reporter'?" Gao Shiqi looked curious.
