Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2471
Standing outside the big tent, Changsun Guang took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart.

Killing Zheng Sanwa of Gao Zhenxing's scout team was definitely not impulsive. When Gao Zhenxing first arrived in the Western Regions to join the army, he received an order from the Chang'an family to wait for an opportunity to eradicate Gao Zhenxing.

The Anxi Army is not alone in the Western Regions. In fact, due to the smooth flow of the Silk Road, there are so many business travelers, and the news transmission is even more convenient than some marginal state capitals in the Tang Dynasty. It has also been heard.

Therefore, killing the scout can not only make Gao Zhenxing helpless and finally annihilated under the iron hoof of the Arabs, and complete the task assigned by the family, but also grab the merit of this report. It kills two birds with one stone. Opportunities are hard to find. He did not hesitate to act .

In his mind, Gao Zhenxing was bound to die tragically under the knife of the Arabs, and all the soldiers in his team were buried with him. He did it without anyone noticing, as long as the soldiers under his command who were present at the time did not tell anyone will know.

With the influence of the eldest grandson's family and the entire Guanlong nobles in the army, who would dare to go out and talk nonsense and "slander" him, a son of the eldest grandson's family?

However, when the troops arrived at Suiye City today, when they set up camp, there were rumors from the soldiers who followed Xue Rengui to Suiye Water Mountain Pass, saying that Gao Zhenxing led the team of scouts to fight to the death, and in the end they probably detonated Zhentianlei and many The Arabs died together, and their deaths were tragic and shocking.

As the news spread among the troops, everyone was silent and admired beyond words.

Changsun Guang felt a little uneasy in his heart. He knew that Gao Zhenxing's tragic ending would inevitably be reported to the Ministry of War, and may even be reported to His Majesty's desk in the end. world.

In case there is a loophole in this...

Just when he was worried, the soldiers came to report that Xue Rengui had summoned him.

Changsun Guang immediately panicked...

……

Trying to calm down, he said to the guard at the entrance of the tent: "The captain, Sun Guang, was ordered to come here, please come in and report."

"Lieutenant Changsun, wait a moment."

The guard responded, turned around and entered the tent, walked out after a while, and said, "Xue Sima invites you to enter."

Changsun Guanglue clasped his fists, striding into the account without losing his demeanor even though he was in the army.

The light in the account was a little dim, and Xue Rengui was sitting behind a simple desk made of temporary wooden boards, burying his head in the desk, dealing with official documents.

Changsun Guang took two steps forward, knelt down on one knee, gave the military salute, and said loudly, "Captain Sun Guang, came here on Sima's order. I don't know what orders Sima has?"

Since there is no sound in the account.

After waiting for a while, Changsun Guang didn't wait for a reply, so he secretly raised his eyes to see that Xue Rengui was still sitting behind the desk processing official documents, turning a blind eye to him and turning a deaf ear to him.

Chang Sunguang's heart "thumped", and a bad premonition came to his heart.

He lowered his eyes, apprehensive in his heart, not daring to say more.

There is no one else in the tent, and the wind blows in slowly from the window, but it is not dull, and even the tent blocks the sun, making it a bit shady.

However, as Xue Rengui handled the official documents without saying a word, he just regarded Changsun Guang as nothing, which gradually turned Changsunguang's uneasiness into fear, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

It took a full half an hour before Xue Rengui put the brush in his hand on the desk, picked up the handkerchief that was put aside and wiped his hands, took a sip of herbal tea from the teacup, then relaxed his body, raised his eyes, and looked at Changsun Guang kneeling on the ground.

"It was found that the Arabs invaded, and they crossed Suiye City and went straight to the hot sea. When the enemy failed to reach Gongyue City, they gave advance warning, so that the army had enough time to prepare, and they were able to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to win a battle. Great victory, this is a first-class military achievement."

Xue Rengui first affirmed this military achievement, and then asked: "Regarding this matter, does Colonel Changsun have anything to say to this general?"

Changsun Guang was silent for a while, and said: "The detailed process, the general has already told Sima all the details before."

Xue Rengui moved his big hand on the table lightly, tapped his fingers a few times, and asked, "Is there anything to add?"

Changsun Guang felt more and more wrong, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "I'm so good to teach Sima to know, there is nothing to add."

Xue Rengui fell silent again.

The only sound in the account was the light tapping of his fingers on the desk...

Just when Changsun Guang was dripping with sweat, Xue Rengui stood up, walked out with his hands behind his back from the desk, stood in front of Changsun Guang, fixed his sharp eyes on Changsunguang, and said slowly: "Captain Changsun is Don't you think that since you are the son of the eldest grandson, I will not touch you?"

Changsun Guang is indeed a son of the eldest grandson's family. Although he is not a direct descendant, he is highly valued by the eldest grandson Wuji. Before he reached the age of weak crown, he led an army alone and became a school lieutenant, only one step away from the general.

His great-grandfather, the eldest Sun Chi, was the elder brother of the eldest Sun Sheng. Zeng Guan worshiped the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the former Sui Dynasty. His grandfather, the eldest grandson Anshi, was also the former Sui Tong Shiren, who was near the center. His father, the eldest Sun Xiang, is now the East Palace of Prince Li Chengqian. meritorious service.

And Changsun Sheng is the father of Changsun Wuji...

Changsun Guang was shocked, and hurriedly said, "I don't know why Sima made such a statement?"

"Humph!"

Xue Rengui snorted coldly, feeling extremely angry in his heart, how dare he pretend to be confused at this moment?

He stepped forward and kicked Changsun Guang to the ground, and said angrily: "I will give you one last chance to tell the story in detail. No matter what crime you committed in the end, I will send you to Chang'an Weiwei Temple You may be able to leave a whole body in the trial. Or if you are obsessed and try to deceive the general, when the general finds out the truth, you will be executed before the battle, and you will be quartered!"

Changsun Guang was so frightened that Gulu got up from the ground and knelt in front of Xue Rengui with a look of horror on his face: "Why is Sima like this? The children of my grandson's family have been in the army for generations, and there are countless people who are wrapped in horse leather and bloody on the battlefield. The last general dare not compare himself to his ancestors." , but he didn’t dare to belittle himself. This time he risked his life to investigate the enemy’s situation. He didn’t dare to take credit for it, but he didn’t know what crime he committed? Please let Xue Sima express it!”

He had no choice but to deny that murdering Pao Ze and pretending to be a leader in the military were all capital offenses. If he pleaded guilty now, ten heads would not be enough for Xue Rengui to cut off!

He can only resist to the end, betting that Xue Rengui has no evidence in hand, and dare not execute himself on the spot.

Xue Rengui laughed angrily, and said sharply: "I don't cry when I see the coffin! Then don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

As he spoke, he shouted towards the outside of the account: "Come on!"

"Humble post! I don't know what orders Sima has?" Immediately, two soldiers walked in from the door and responded respectfully.

Xue Rengui said: "In the name of this general, quickly capture Changsun Guang's troops. First, find out who is still under his command when Changsun Guang led the people to leave the city to investigate in the direction of Suiye Shui, and then arrest these people." They were all captured, detained separately, and tortured, I was going to know what happened to them that day!"

"Here!"

The soldiers took orders and strode away immediately.

There was a sudden commotion in the camp...

Changsun Guang was sweating profusely, kneeling in the tent, not daring to lift his head.

He is not afraid of what those soldiers will recruit. After all, they are just some ordinary soldiers. Even if they tell the truth, it is difficult to convict a son of the eldest grandson's family. There must be conclusive evidence. Everything is required.

And the two soldiers who disposed of Zheng Sanwa's body were not only his own soldiers, but also his domestic slaves. Under normal circumstances, they would never dare to confess. Parents and children are all in the manor of the grandson's family. The whole family must be buried
But there are accidents in everything, Xue Rengui suddenly suspected this matter that he should have been flawless, who knows whether those two house slaves can withstand the torture, clenched their teeth and said nothing?

If the place where Zheng Sanwa's body was buried was revealed, then Xue Rengui would be able to chop off his head on the spot.

No, just look at the heinous crimes of killing the robes and falsely leading the army, coupled with Xue Rengui's rage, it will definitely arouse the anger of the whole army. The five horses dismembered the corpse in front of them, and then abandoned the corpse on the desert, allowing vultures to peck and wild beasts to eat...

After Xue Rengui turned back to the book case, he stared at Changsun Guang with piercing eyes, and said coldly, "Captain Changsun, don't take any chances. Once you find out that a scout from the Gaozhenxing Department returned to Gongyue City to report the news, But you were intercepted and killed halfway, and pretended to take the merits of Gao Zhenxing's subordinates, don't say that you, a child of the eldest grandson's family, even if you are a child of the royal family, you are dead but not alive!"

The eldest grandson didn't dare to lift his bald head, and swallowed, feeling horrified.

The truth of the matter has been guessed by Xue Rengui...
