Raid

Chapter 164
Zhou Shuzhan didn't know that Rongzhi had asked Zhan Qirui for help. He had to guard against Rongzhi now, and he still had to deal with official affairs in two places, so naturally he couldn't notice some trivial things.

Besides, he didn't know Zhan Qirui and his wife at that time, they just thought they were some troubled people.

"The Marquis of Xiangcheng is still here?" When Zhou Shuzhan and Gu Lingxu were patrolling the embankment together, they happened to meet Rong Zhi and Li Shengxi. Seeing Gu Lingxu, Rong Zhi couldn't help asking.

"What does Rong Xun mean by this?" Gu Lingxu confronted him.

Rong Zhi smiled and shook his head, "I was just thinking that four counties in Xichang were also affected by the breach of the embankment, and the Marquis of Xiangcheng didn't seem to be worried at all. Besides, it seems that the Marquis came to Zhenyuan, and he didn't seem to have received an order. Marquis, it's unavoidable to overstep... "

Gu Lingxu is at fault for this, but he has always been domineering, and he is like an emperor outside Beijing. He said arrogantly: "If Rong Xun is dissatisfied, he can write a letter to impeach him. Of course, if Rong Xun can still do it after returning to Beijing Face the words of the Holy Spirit."

This matter started because of Guan Zhi, and now the country has never questioned Guan Zhi's party for a while, it is only because of the emergency of the disaster, Guan Zhi is still struggling in the imperial city.If Rong Zhi can't take the crime and make meritorious deeds, when he returns to Beijing, what awaits him will be a prison sentence.

Rong Zhi has always done a good job in the aspect of not showing his emotions and anger, "Regardless of whether he can face the saint or not, Xiaguan has the right to write a letter. The sage and the sage are naturally rewarded and punished. Xiangchenghou has made great achievements in battle. Take all this illustrious military exploits to pay for the crime of usurpation."

"You..." Gu Lingxu was angry.

Zhou Shuzhan stood up, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, "Rong Xunyong has the skills to talk fast here, so it's better to think about how to get things done. The disaster in Zhenyuan is not over, and it's hard for Rong Xunyong to have such a leisurely mind."

When Rong Zhi heard this, he just smiled lightly, and took Li Sheng away.

Seeing that Rong Zhi was gone, Gu Lingxu swung his sword and slashed at a dead tree next to him, "One day, I will definitely kill this thief myself."

"What the Marquis of Xiangcheng said is true." Zhou Shuzhan couldn't help sighing.

"He is still so rampant now because he is relying on his status as an inspector, and the court has never committed a crime. Today, the Marquis wrote a letter to the Holy Majesty, asking the Holy Majesty to deprive him of his power of patrol, and he will be sent to prison." Gu Lingxu said coldly. road.

Zhou Shuzhan shook his head, "Your Majesty favors Guan Zhi. This thief has the grace to save his life. Lord Hou wrote a letter like this. He is afraid that Guan Party will provoke him. Time, the loss outweighs the gain. Lord Hou should proceed with caution."

Gu Lingxu withdrew his sword reluctantly.

"Speaking of which, Master Hou might as well go back to Xichang first, so as not to lose ground. Although he is powerful, he is only in the middle of Beijing, and Zhou is not talented. It is more than enough to deal with a small Rong Zhi on the coast of Jiangbei." Zhou Shuzhan persuaded.

Although Gu Lingxu hates Rongzhi, he has his own principles. With Gu Lingxu around, many of his actions are difficult to execute.

Gu Lingxu showed hesitation, "This thief is treacherous, and I'm afraid Zhou Fu Yin will accidentally follow his way."

Zhou Shuzhan claimed to have seen through Gu Lingxu's mind, and Gu Lingxu wanted to stay here, nothing more than to personally grasp the handle of Rongzhi, and then find an opportunity to kill him personally.

Tell him to go now, if something happens to Rong Zhi, Gu Lingxu has no chance to kill him.

"If the Marquis of Xiangcheng is worried, but the garrison is south of Anyuan, if there is a change here, the Marquis of Xiangcheng can go south to support at any time." Anyuan is located in the northeast of Xichang, and to the south of Anyuan are Tongjiang and Zhenyuan.What he said meant that if there was a slight change, Gu Lingxu could go south to kill the thief at any time.

Gu Lingxu's eyes moved lightly, as if he was being persuaded. After a while, he nodded, "In that case, then according to Zhou Fuyin's words, I just want to trouble Zhou Fuyin."

Zhou Shuzhan shook his head, "It's not troublesome, it's just a duty to eliminate thieves for the country. What's more, you and I are family friends, so it's only natural to help each other."

A trace of coldness flashed across Gu Lingxu's eyes, family friend?Since he is a family friend, why did he see his father stick to Xichang and not send troops?Is it because the first emperor was eyeing the family?
More than that, he remembered that during the Xichang war, although the nearby state capitals related to the Zhou family did not send troops, they were all gearing up and waiting for the city of Xichang to be broken.

They were not afraid of sending troops against orders so that the first emperor could justifiably reduce the family's military power.They obviously wanted to wait for his father to die in the battle, and the Xichang army and the Xirong people would suffer both losses, and then come to clean up the mess, so that they could completely engulf the Xichang army and strengthen their own strength.

He deeply hated the Northern Qi royal family and Guan Zhi, they were the chief culprits, but how could the Zhou family feel that he was at the mercy of others?
Guan Zhi and the first emperor deserved to die for their crimes. Are the members of the Zhou family innocent?
"Then I would like to thank Zhou Fu Yin, no, Zhou Shishu." Gu Lingxu was full of smiles, but the coldness in his heart was hard to express.

Zhou Shuzhan was a little flattered, but immediately realized that it was a gesture of favor from Gu Lingxu. Ever since Gu Lingxu refused to marry, the relationship between the two families was not far or close, not bad, but definitely not good either.

Now that he heard Gu Lingxu's words, although he was a little surprised, he would not refuse.Gu Lingxu has a heavy hand in his hand, even if he refuses to marry Zhou, but he can get married, why should he have an enemy?

"Nephew, you're being polite." Zhou Shuzhan chuckled.

The two chatted and laughed enthusiastically, and in the end, Gu Lingxu personally sent Zhou Shuzhan home.

When Gu Lingxu returned to his house, it was already nightfall. Because of Rong Zhi, he brought Miaoduan with him, and Qin Qinghong was naturally indispensable.

In fact, the two sisters also helped a lot, Miaoduan is also a doctor, as for Qin Qinghong, although she is not good at medicine, she can also be a female worker, she often helps the lieutenant and Gu Lingxu to mend clothes.

When Gu Lingxu returned home, he saw Qin Qinghong who was seriously mending the clothes. She lost the jewel-like aura when she first saw her. Now that she was made of coarse linen and sewed under the lamp, Gu Lingxu felt a little strange.But this feeling is very reassuring.

"It's so late, why don't you go to bed earlier?" Gu Lingxu sat down beside Qin Qinghong.

"I'm not sleepy." Qin Qinghong put down the needle and thread in his hand, and looked at Gu Lingxu wearily, "It's you, why did you come back so late?"

"I have a lot of business, so I went to chat with Zhou Shuzhan for a while." When talking about Zhou Shuzhan, Gu Lingxu only felt a little tired.

Qin Qinghong who was at the side frowned slightly when she heard the words, her usually calm and charming eyes had an ambiguous color at the moment, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.

Gu Lingxu and Qin Qinghong have known each other for some time, and he can be considered to understand Qin Qinghong: "You don't like Zhou Shuzhan?"
