A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1355
[Chapter 1345 1 Everything is for the Chu Kingdom!]
Yanmo sneered: “Your Highness has already told him about Qi Ning’s fatal weakness, and even sent people from Shenhou Mansion and Yulin Camp to assist him in killing Qi Ning, and sent dozens of lives, but this person still missed. I’m afraid there is something very strange.”
“Do you suspect that he deliberately let go of Qi Ning?”
“My lord said last time that Qu Xiaocang came back to return to his life. At that time, Qi Ning was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. With Mo Ying’s skill, You can take Qi Ning’s life just by moving your fingers, but this person didn’t do that.” Yan Mo’s eyes were cold: “He actually asked Qu Xiaocang to do it himself, and this alone shows that this is the case. He has a blood alliance deal with the prince, and he should have killed Qi Ning himself, but he has to fake it, this is to escape the relationship in the future.”
Xiao Shaozong smiled lightly: “Mo Ying is calculating everywhere, but he is everywhere. Weakness, this person has a great appetite, but he doesn’t want to cause too much trouble.”
“But at this time, a man in black on a fast horse suddenly appeared and rescued Qi Ning.” Yanmo said, “My lord. Don’t you suspect that the man in black is probably the one arranged by Mo Ying?”
Xiao Shaozong thought deeply and did not speak.
“If Qi Ning dies, the lord will naturally remove the biggest threat.” Yanmo said, “But Qi Ning will always be a huge threat to us if he doesn’t die.”
“You mean raising bandits with self-respect?” Xiao Shaozong said A strange smile appeared.
Yan Mo nodded and said: “Exactly, he hopes that Qi Ning will continue to threaten the prince, and even cause more turmoil in the state of Chu, so he is likely to make more unreasonable demands of the prince.”
Xiao Shaozong pondered for a while.
, shook his head and said: “Dongqi has already destroyed the country, Mo Ying’s most urgent hope now is that I will successfully ascend the throne, and then the Dongqi country will be re-confined to Duan Shao. This kind of thing will be unfavorable for a long time. Or continue to cause trouble for me, which is not good for him.”
Yan Mo frowned: “My lord, the plan to kill Qi Ning was well-deployed, and it was unexpected. I am very strange, who was it at that time? Will he suddenly appear and risk his life to save him?”
“According to Qu Xiaocang’s statement, that person has great martial arts, and once he made a move, he used hidden weapons to force Mo Ying back. Qu Xiaocang believes that he is definitely not that person’s opponent. There are masters in this world who can use hidden weapons to force back Mo Ying. Not too much.” Xiao Shaozong said slowly: “I’ve been thinking about who shot it, but I can’t think of it.” “My lord
, who rescued Qi Ning, that’s another matter.” Yanmo’s eyes showed killing intent: “But Mo Ying is very cunning and cunning. If he continues to keep it, it will be a scourge after all.” He raised his hand and made a downward cut.
Xiao Shaozong smiled lightly, and said, “What is Mo Ying’s reputation? Compared with Mo Ying, there is another person who is more troublesome.”
“Your Highness, did you mean Qi Ning?” Yan Mo said, “It is really difficult for us to know the whereabouts of this person. I found it, but the family members of Jinyi Qi’s family are all in the capital, and they are all in our hands now, unless this person ignores these people, he will sneak back to the capital.” A sneer appeared on his lips: “If he doesn’t come back, After all, if you step into the capital, you will fall into the net of heaven and earth.”
Xiao Shaozong shook his head and said, “Qining is a long-term plan, and the top priority is to solve internal worries.”
Yanmo asked in confusion, “Who did the lord say?”
“We only It can be regarded as controlling the palace.” Xiao Shaozong said: “If you want to control the entire capital, you must have someone.” With a calm expression, he said word by word, “Xue Lingfeng!”
“Xue Lingfeng?” Yan Mo was stunned. Then he smiled and said: “I understand. Xue Lingfeng controls the three thousand tiger camps, and he is a member of the Qi family. The
prince is worried that after Qi Ning sneaks back to the capital, he will hook up with Xue Lingfeng and control the tiger camps. ”
The entire city defense of the capital is in the hands of Xue Lingfeng.” Xiao Shaozong calmly said: “To fully control the capital, you must control the Tiger God Camp.” Yanmo said
, “I will solve Xue Ling by myself .
Feng.” Then he frowned and said, “It’s just that even if Xue Lingfeng is killed, it is not easy to arrange our people in the Tiger God Camp immediately. As far as I know, Xue Lingfeng has been in the Tiger God Camp for many years. The soldiers of the Tiger God Battalion are in awe of this man, and it is difficult to convince the public without sufficient military merit and prestige to take his place.”
Xiao Shaozong shook his head and said with a smile, “Don’t worry about that. To control the capital, it is essential to control the Tiger God Camp. As early as many years ago, I had placed a confidant in the Tiger God Camp.”
Yanmo’s eyes lit up .
, smiled and said: “Your Highness has already prepared?”
“Who will replace Xue Lingfeng is not a problem.” Xiao Shaozong said: “It’s just how to get rid of Xue Lingfeng, it is a problem.
” Me.” Yanmo said: “I promise he won’t see the sun tomorrow.”
Xiao Shaozong shook his head and said, “You don’t need to do it yourself, I’ve already figured out who will do it.”
Yanmo said: “Who is your lord going to let him do it?”
“Qu Xiaocang!”
“Qu Xiaocang?” Yan Mo was startled, but soon smiled, and said meaningfully, “Your lord is brilliant, this Qu Xiaocang is the most suitable. Nominee.”
“He has already obtained the position of Divine Marquis, and he should do something.” Xiao Shaozong said lightly: “Qu Xiaocang should understand this kind of thing!”
Yanmo nodded slightly and said: ” Although this person is very obedient and killed Xuanyuan Po with his own hands, he is a Ximen Wuhen person, so he still has to be careful. If he can really take Xue Lingfeng’s head with his own hands, he will have to obey us in the future. I was driven.”
When Xiao Shaozong mentioned Qu Xiaocang in the palace, Qu Xiaocang was in a dark secret room in the Shenhou Mansion.
The imperial court issued a decree, because Ximen Shenhou went out for a long trip, voluntarily resigned, and recommended Qu Xiaocang to succeed him as Shenhou of Shenhoufu. Contrary to the expectations of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the Shenhou Mansion seemed very calm.
Xuanyuan Po was charged with treason, and there were very few people in the Manchu dynasty who knew both civil and military affairs, and it was impossible for the public servants to have the slightest rumor.
That day, three hundred Yulin besieged Qi Ning, and Qu Xiaocang made a sneak attack from behind. It will leak out, but Qu Xiaocang knows that paper can’t contain fire after all.
Among the Big Dipper, the two captains Po Jun and Lu Cun were both killed, but Qu Xiaocang naturally would not forget that the remaining few, except for Yan Lingxian, were not good people.
Han Tianxiao, the lieutenant of Wenqu, pretended to be a bronze general, and is still imprisoned in the Shenhou Mansion, but Lianzhen, the lieutenant Hong Mendao, has returned to the Shenhou Mansion from the northern country, and there is the martial artist who has been hiding in the most secret place of the Shenhou Mansion. Captain Qu, if you don’t take the initiative to report Xuanyuan Po’s treason, the consequences will be very troublesome when these people find out on their own in the future.
The Shenhou Mansion, which is absolutely loyal to the emperor, can explain everything as long as there is the emperor’s will.
After Qu Xiaocang returned to the capital, he told several people about the emperor’s will. Although the will made several people pale in shock, Hong Mendao and the others could only accept the emperor’s order.
The death of Ximen Wuhen was already a major blow to the Shenhou Mansion, and Xuanyuan Po was charged with treason, which also dealt a heavy blow to the Shenhou Mansion.
Facing the emperor’s imperial decree, Hong Mendao and the others did not ask Qu Xiaocang for conclusive evidence, nor did they argue why Xuanyuan Po was treasonous. After Ximen Wuhen and Xuanyuan Po passed away successively, the Divine Marquis Mansion has reached the moment of life and death. Once there is another internal dispute, the Divine Marquis Mansion, which once made all the sects in the rivers and lakes, will turn into a mess of scattered sand.
Qu Xiaocang took over the position of Divine Marquis, as expected by Hong Mendao and others.
Everything was peaceful, and no one was congratulating Qu Xiaocang because of Qu Xiaocang’s promotion, but Qu Xiaocang returned to the Divine Marquis Mansion from Fengtian Temple, and he came directly to this dim little house.
Of course, he knew that the silence of Hong Mendao and the others did not mean that they had accepted Xuanyuan Po’s treason of treason. Although these people’s silence could not question the emperor’s will, they also hoped to survive the difficulties at this time.
In this room, except for the Big Dipper, no one is allowed to approach, let alone enter.
In the house is the urn of Ximen Wuhen, but there is no tablet. First, it is for safety reasons, and secondly, the funeral of Ximen Wuhen has not been held, so there is no spiritual tablet.
The urn was placed in a square black wooden box and placed on an ancient wooden table. Qu Xiaocang sat cross-legged on the futon in front of the ancient wooden table.
Only when he heard a knock on the door behind him, Qu Xiaocang opened his eyes slightly, without turning his head, he just said indifferently, “Come in!”
From outside the door was Colonel Lianzhen Hong Mendao.
After Hong Mendao entered the room, he turned around and closed the door, walked to the ancient wooden desk, and fell on his knees.
Qu Xiaocang glanced at Hong Mendao, the two of them didn’t speak for a while, after a long time, Hong Mendao finally said: “I have been in the northwest for many years, and there are sand and rocks there. Over
there, I never know what the word bitter cold means.”
Qu Xiaocang was silent for a while, and then he said, “You have come back.”
“Yeah!” Hong Mendao sighed: “The southern Yingge Yanwu, green willows and flowers, really made me happy for a long time. When I was in the northwest, I kept thinking that when the task is completed, I can go back to the south, even if it is good to smell the fragrance of flowers. ” He chuckled lightly: “Second Senior Brother, you may not believe it, I sometimes have a dream, in which I return to the Qinhuai River, wearing a brocade and jade robe, with a thick silver note in my arms, spending a lot of money on the painting boat on the Qinhuai River. , the most beautiful girls on the Qinhuai River all want me to be their guest, and those days are happier than gods.”
“I believe.” Qu Xiaocang also sighed lightly, “You have been in the north all these years. , indeed suffered.”
“Actually, I’m not really suffering.” Hong Mendao said slowly: “At least I still have my life to come back alive and be able to eat the sesame dumplings in Zao’er Lane in the capital. Last time I went there, I ate six bowls in one meal. I don’t know how to get back.” After a pause, he said, “In those years in the Northern Han Dynasty, I had a maximum of 137 people under my command, and when I came back, there were 62 people still alive. Whether they will come back, I don’t know, but the seventy-five people will never come back, and no one will ever know their names.”
Qu Xiaocang did not speak, and Hong Mendao was silent for a long time before continuing: ” From the day when the Shenhou Mansion was established, every person in the Shenhou Mansion remembers a sentence, and because of this sentence, even if it is smashed to pieces, it would be worth it.” He turned his head and looked at Qu Xiaocang, Word by word: “Everything is for the Holy One, and everything is for the Kingdom of Chu!”
