The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 456
"Hey, Brother Changsun, look at what you said, do I only want to study when I come to you? Can't we brothers chat?" Guo Dingxin grinned.

Changsun Ji gave this guy a blank look. If he had believed it before, but since he took Guo Dingxin to study every day, every time this guy saw him, he always avoided him. This time, I managed to give him two days off. , if there is not something, Changsun Ji probably won't be able to delay it even if it is delayed.

Guo Dingxin saw that Changsun Ji was still suspicious, so he couldn't help but chuckled a few times, and then changed his words: "I really can't hide anything from you."

"Two people came here today, saying that they want to meet eldest grandson."

Changsun Ji frowned, and said in displeasure, "Didn't I say that? During my filial piety, I won't see anyone."

"Brother Changsun, the identities of these two people are quite different. Mr. Li said that they are not good at making decisions, so he asked me to come up for a visit. As for whether we will meet or not, the elder brother can decide for himself."

"These two people are from Anding, one is Pianjiang and the other is General Wei. They said, 'the old man is here to make up for the regret that we didn't meet when we killed the thief in the barren mountain.' The eldest brother knows these two people."

Changsun Ji didn't speak, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea. He already knew who these two people were, they should have met him when he was escorting Changsun Lianyi back to Changwei when he was surrounded by bandits in the barren hills. The stable partial general and General He surnamed Wei who had never met.

Originally, he said that he would visit Anding after he finished his work, but he didn't go because he needed to keep his filial piety. Now that the other party came to Changwei, if he didn't meet him, it would be a bit unreasonable, after all, the other party had saved him.

However, Changsun Ji didn't want to see them, and it was impossible for the other party to come to Changwei just to meet them.Changsun Ji actually had some guesses in his mind for what purpose they wanted to see him, but it was precisely because of some guesses that Changsun Ji didn't want to see them.

Although Changsun Ji has been keeping his filial piety here for a year, it does not mean that he has been isolated from the world. On the contrary, Changsun Ji has paid more attention to what happened in Yan Kingdom.

During this year, the country of Yan was not very peaceful. The war in the north that should have ended long ago has been delayed again and again. Some people rumored that Emperor Yan had died in the north. The real master of military power is the Seventh Prince. , ready to mobilize troops to force Gongna.

Others said that because of the death of Changsun Lianyi, Emperor Yan suffered a heavy blow, his will was depressed, and he was not in the mood to command the war, so the northern war never ended.

No matter what the argument is, there is only one thing reflected, that is, the war in the north was not as optimistic as the people in the capital had expected, and it will not be long before Dayan's elite soldiers can really escape from the quagmire of the battlefield in the north.

Not only that, but the army that was sent to the Western Regions to suppress the country before was ambushed by the country in the desert. For some reason, the country suddenly appeared in the country, which was three or four times stronger than the country should have been. .

As soon as news of the defeat spread to the capital, it caused an uproar. The entire capital was full of discussions and anger, and the public opinion for war was getting bigger and bigger.

For the people in the capital, the foreign barbarians, no matter how rich they are, are inferior people. Yan's army can be defeated by local people or even bandits and bandits, but they cannot be defeated by the inferior barbarians abroad. defeat.

In addition, there is still an undercurrent surging in the entire Yan Kingdom.As the only exogenous prince who can be crowned king, King Chu's ability is not limited to fighting.

I do not know how many officials, large and small, were promoted by the King of Chu in the entire Yan Dynasty, and how many people received his favor.

Although things are too cold for everyone, the reputation of cruelty to Zhongliang has made many ambitious people see the signs, especially during the Northern Expedition, many veterans died in this war. No matter what the reason is, there will always be People can't help but think about it, especially at this time, Changsun Lianyi fell ill and died.

Not to mention what Changsun Ji didn't know, but what Changsun Ji knew, there were seven forces secretly plotting rebellion.

Some of them are the heirs of veterans who died in battle, some are ambitious generals in the court, and there are local tyrants who have resurrected their corpses and used the name of the son of the King of Chu to plot rebellion.

In this year, it is not that there is no power to choose to cooperate with Changsun Ji. After all, Changsun Lianyi died, and the royal family only said that he was suffering from a serious illness, and did not give a suitable explanation at all.

However, Changsun Ji refused to accept these people and never met them at all.It's not that Changsun Ji is going to give up on the royal family.

But Changsun Ji always felt that it was not yet time, and he had discussed it with Guo Yu privately, and Guo Yu also thought that it should not be too hasty.

Another important reason is that whenever Changsun Ji thinks about this matter, he always feels that something is wrong. Although he can't tell what it is, his feeling tells him that things are not that simple. It can't be that easy to deal with.

Changsun Ji took advantage of this time to stay here alone to keep his filial piety for Changsun Lianyi. There is no lack of reasons for this. After all, this is a very suitable reason to avoid seeing him.

It's not hard to guess what kind of attention he was playing, it was nothing more than using those people as stepping stones.

As long as he doesn't see people from these forces, it doesn't matter what these people do. Even if they fail in the end, it won't have any effect on him. After all, if he really pursues it, he can pretend not to know.

If that group of forces can finally overthrow Dayan, then it will not be too late for him to act again.

After all, those people are not a whole, even if Dayan is overthrown, apart from other things, the division of interests between each other will cause trouble again.

At that time, the snipe and the clam will fight, and it is not impossible for him to do things that benefit the fisherman.However, although these things are easy to say, they are really not easy to operate. After all, there are not a few people in this world who have this idea, and it is not clear who will win the game in the end.

But no matter what, it is the most prudent thing to stand still and wait and see what happens. Even if you don't get any benefits, you won't be charged with any crimes.

Because this stable sheriff is one of the seven forces known to Changsun Ji, the sheriff also sent someone to spy on him before, but at that time, Changsun Lianyi was not dead yet, and Changsun Ji was also fighting for him. Changwei's Sand Pirates were so busy that they naturally had no interest in participating in other things.

At that time, the two sides were not familiar with each other, and the sheriff only had some ideas, and hadn't really prepared to implement them. What was said at the time was just that the sheriff wanted to invite him to An Ding as a guest.
