Raid

Chapter 176 Ambition
When Rong Zhi went back, he just received the news that Xiang Chenghou had "get out of trouble", so he hurried over with his people.

On the way, I happened to meet Zhou Shuzhan and Song Yongjin. Even though the three had their own thoughts, they had to go together at this moment.

When the three of them saw Gu Lingxu, Gu Lingxu had just dismounted, his armor was torn, and his black robes were covered with dark blood clots, and it was unknown whose blood it was.

There are many people behind him, including ordinary soldiers and some people dressed as ordinary people, but these "common people" have a slight ferocious look in their brows, and their identities should be very unusual.

Seeing someone, no, strictly speaking, Song Yongjin, Gu Lingxu looked a little relaxed.

"Master Hou." Song Yongjin hurriedly dismounted and ran to Gu Lingxu's side.

"I'm tired, Uncle Song is worried." Song Yongjin is from the generation of the old Xiang Chenghou. To Gu Lingxu, although he is an old member, he is also a teacher and a father.

Song Yongjin shook his head, "What's the matter? If something happens to you, how can I have the face to see your father?"

Gu Lingxu just smiled, then pointed to the people behind him and said, "I recruited many bandits in the mountains."

Song Yongjin nodded, "Most of them fall into the weeds because of the current situation. If they can be used, it would be a good place to go."

"I think so too. Uncle Song, help me deal with this matter. After collecting the books, disperse them to various camps for training, and then distribute them to our army."

The thieves and bandits gathered together for profit, even if they are incorporated now, they must take precautions to avoid reuniting into chaos again.

Li Shengxi was not surprised to hear this arrangement. Gu Lingxu was involved in it, and he must also think about how to benefit himself. He is ambitious.And it's not surprising to include a trilogy, I'm afraid he has bigger moves.

After chatting with Gu Lingxu, Song Yongjin went to settle the bandits.

Gu Lingxu looked at Zhou Shuzhan and Rong Zhi, his eyes turned cold all of a sudden.

"Hsiang Chenghou." Zhou Shuzhan called softly.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Gu Lingxu pulled his long sword out of the scabbard abruptly. There was a bright cold light shining on the sword, and there were still stains of solidified blood on the blade.

The long sword passed in front of the two of them, if he wanted to, it would not be difficult to take their lives now.

"Xiangchenghou, what are you doing?" Zhou Shuzhan couldn't help but turn ugly.

Rong Zhi also seemed a little surprised, he raised his eyebrows, and took a few steps back.

"It's nothing, I suddenly want to stretch my muscles and bones." Gu Lingxu said coldly, he did not take back his sword, but looked at the long sword and said: "After entering the mountain, the soldiers were weak one after another, so that the Marquis fell into ambush. , deeply trapped in the hands of thieves, if those thieves were not just mobs, I am afraid that this Marquis would already be the soul of others under the sword of others. As for all trees and trees as soldiers?"

Zhou Shuzhan frowned. Although he had expected Gu Lingxu's suspicion, he was still surprised when he faced it. He glanced at Rongzhi, who was much calmer than himself.

"Xiangchenghou, there may be a misunderstanding on this matter. Xiangchenghou should let me explain a few words, so as not to fall into other people's tricks and provoke the relationship between you and me." Zhou Shuzhan glanced at Rongzhi again.

Rong Zhi smiled lightly, "From what Yin Zhou said, it seems that he meant something. It's just that Zhou Fu Yin must not forget that on the night when Xiang Chenghou's accident happened, if General Song hadn't come, Zhou Fu Yin might have I still can't think of sending someone to search and rescue the Marquis Xiangcheng in the forest."

"Rong Xun press..."

"Not only that, Zhou Fu Yin also ran to the door of the next official, screaming and beating and killing, which is very majestic." Rong Zhi interrupted Zhou Shuzhan's words, and continued to fan the flames.

"Rong Zhi! Of course you know better than me what this is all about." Zhou Shuzhan's voice was quite cold, and he turned to look at Gu Lingxu with a serious and anxious expression: "It's no fun to listen to us arguing now. , Xiangchenghou, although you and I can’t say that we are heart-to-heart, we have always been harmonious, and we can’t say that we are both prosperous, but if I come to harm you, it will be harmful and not beneficial.”

Gu Lingxu's face softened a little, and he looked at Rong Zhi with a little more suspicion.

Rong Zhi was still at ease, as if nothing had happened, and he was not afraid of Gu Lingxu's gaze at all.

Gu Lingxu turned his eyes around the two of them, and finally withdrew the long sword in his hand, with a cold but domineering expression: "The accident happened this time, because someone colluded with the bandits and tried to put me to death. It's a pity When this Marquis was punishing the bandits, he was inadvertently caught in a trick, so that he accidentally killed the bandit leaders and cut off the clues. But this Marquis will definitely continue to investigate this matter. Uncle Song! Send troops to station in Zhenyuan. Rong Xunyan, although you are entrusted with the imperial decree, don't forget that there is a difference in official position! Governor Zhou, you are only temporarily serving as the capital of Zhenyuan Prefecture, if you are unable to do what you want, you can temporarily stop."

Zhou Shuzhan and Rong Zhiju's expressions changed drastically.Only Li Shengxi behind him seemed to be expected.

"Xiangchenghou, are you trying to rebel?" Rong Zhi scolded first, Gu Lingxu sent troops here to hold Zhenyuan in his hands.

With Zhenyuan in hand, the three northwestern prefectures of Lijiang River are all in his pocket.But he is also famous as a teacher, but it is hard to deal with him.

And this "name" was handed to Gu Lingxu by himself.At the beginning, he also said that the late emperor's promotion of eunuchs to suppress the Zhou family was to lure wolves away and seek skins from tigers, but he himself forgot that Gu Lingxu had never been loyal to the court.

He cares about the people and worries about the people, but he also has a heavy army in his hand, and his intention is to be on the throne.

And these, Ning Rushuang once reminded him.

Rong Zhi couldn't help turning his head to look at Li Shengxi, only to see that she was standing sideways with her sword in her hand, calm and composed, her gaze mixed with teasing, as if she was watching some good show.Even if she met his gaze, she never concealed it.

Rong Zhi suddenly became alert, his heart sank slightly.

Li Shengxi had indeed guessed this matter, how could Gu Lingxu let go of such a good opportunity?This is an opportunity to make things bigger in front of you.He has a rebellious heart, and when the situation is calm, he will definitely rebel.He also knew that the court was on guard against him.When the time is right, the imperial court will definitely not let him go.

If he doesn't want to wait to be liquidated by the court, there are only two ways.Either let go of your authority and protect yourself wisely.Or go further, no one regrets.

But if you can choose the latter, why give up your authority.Authority is something that is popular no matter where it is, and sometimes it is a talisman for protecting one's body and life.

"Xiangchenghou, you are overstepping." Zhou Shuzhan also said hastily.

"Whether to presume or not, don't jump to conclusions at this moment. This matter will definitely be written to the emperor, and he will ask the emperor to temporarily act as the state capital. Even if he has an order, how can it be considered as overstepping? It is just exercising his rights in advance. .”

How arrogant, but speaking of these words, there is no room for doubt.Because he is Gu Lingxu, Gu Lingxu with a hundred thousand troops in his hands.Here the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he is also known as Zheng Yanshun.

Rong Zhi couldn't hold back and wanted to say something, but his hand was suddenly grabbed.
