"Gan Xiang really thinks that his brother is too stupid and short-sighted, and Gan Shangshu will only obey his orders, but according to what the caretaker said, the trip to Xiacheng was Gan Biao's intention to contain Gan Xiang's forces, and then secretly tipped the news, intending to collude Commander Yijing, it's not impossible." Qu Liying lazily raised her eyelids, and instead of looking directly at Jiang Yuan in front of her, she continued: "However, these are just one-sided words of adults. Biao, the current situation is unclear, isn't it a dangerous move by soldiers?"

Gu Xiaowu smiled lightly and said, "Master Qu, did you ever know that Shen Sixian, the former prefect of Xiacheng, recommended a new leader for Gan Biao, named Luo Jianghong?"

Qu Liying was stunned for a moment, and said: "I know the name Luo Jianghong, but Gan Xiang once said that the letter from Xiacheng prefect Shen Sixian couldn't be read because Gan Biao accidentally knocked over the inkstone..."

"It should be so. Gan Biao borrowed the flag of Luojianghong to get rid of himself and Xiang Gan in one fell swoop. Of course, Xiang Gan must not know about it."

"Your Excellency is indeed too reckless to come here this time," Qu Liying smiled contemptuously, "I am not at ease here, but for your lord's behavior, the handle will fall into the hands of others, and all you need is a memorial. It's over."

Gu Xiaowu said disapprovingly: "It happened when Mr. Qu was unwilling to join forces with me. What is the truth of the matter? Why don't you ask Gan Xiang who is unconscious? If I can't If he successfully escaped this catastrophe, he will have to wrong Gan Biao and go to Huangquan together with the official, he is currently in the imperial hospital, and it is the official's cronies who are taking good care of him, so Gan Biao did not succeed."

Qu Liying's face changed, and then she dismissed it with disdain: "Without a Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, what should I care about?"

"Master Qu is promoted by Xiang Gan, and he relies heavily on him. There is a deep friendship between him and Xiang Gan. It is impossible to stand by and watch. When the tree falls and the monkeys are scattered, will Gan Biao still keep you?" These words hit Qu Liying's weakness, As soon as Gu Xiaowu saw her uneasy expression, she knew that she had acquiesced in this matter, and continued: "The most urgent thing is to buy time until Xiang Gan wakes up and the truth comes out. For this reason, please contact Gan Xiang's party members to separate Gan Biao and you." Wang Shuzhong tried every means to replace the Minister of Dali Temple, delaying the case for some time."

"I'll take care of it myself," Qu Liying sighed, "How much gold and silver was spent, will be counted on you and Xiang Gan."

When Yijing saw the visitor, he couldn't help laughing out loud, not caring about the ugly face of the other person, so he mocked: "Why, don't you dare to order Dali Temple to convict you even though you have the evidence in your hands?"

Gan Biao looked at him intently, and asked straightforwardly: "What are you guys planning? First, Gu Xiaowu snatched Gan Yi, and then you are going to take the blame."

"Of course I came out to take the blame. I was the one who assassinated the prime minister." Yijing shrugged jokingly, "Convict me, and you can kill me, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Gan Biao sneered twice, leaned forward, and said in a low voice, "Do you think I will believe it? This kind of trick is just a feigning defeat in a march and battle, and wants me to take advantage of the victory to pursue and fall into your ambush! How many years have I been up and down in the officialdom, how can you deceive me!"

Yijing snorted softly, and glanced away from him.

"Say, what is your intention!" Gan Biao pressed on every step of the way, but walked on thin ice.

"I came here to save Li Changming, why don't you believe it? When did you become so timid? Besides, what can you threaten me with? You can easily kill everyone, but there is nothing you can do about the Sifluo family, Gu Xiaowu If you don't participate in it, when Su Shengyi died for a long time, you will only have me in your hands."

Gan Biao took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and slammed the door away. After arriving at the mansion, he called Wang Shuzhong.

"Tomorrow, Li Changming will be released from prison on the grounds that he is innocent."

Wang Shuzhong asked in disbelief, "Just let him go like this?"

"Now the situation is raging, and the saint is very angry. It is not difficult to catch him, but we have no way of knowing what Yijing is planning, so we have to follow the plan and let Li Changming go to see his actions." Gan Biao frowned and said: " It's hard for the officials to think about what kind of plan he is planning."

"What is his plan?" Xing Sheng came to visit, and Gu Xiaowu asked the same sentence.

Xing Sheng responded silently, not knowing how to answer, so he could only say: "The lower officials are puzzled for a while, maybe only the commander of the army knows. But the most urgent thing at the moment is to replace Gan Biao's confidant Wang Shuzhong, and delay the time. Explain their innocence."

Gu Xiaowu remained silent.

Xing Sheng persuaded: "Gan Yi's life is now in the hands of the adults. It is easy to kill him, but the commander of the army is irreparable. However, Gan Biao can justifiably inherit everything from Gan Yi. When no one restrains him, It's easy to get rid of the adults, not to mention the turmoil in the southwest in recent years, I am afraid that the commander of the army is indispensable."

Gu Xiaowu asked: "A war will start?"

"It's hard to explain in one word. I'll explain it to you after I'm dismissed. It's just that the treasury is empty, the consequences of the war are unimaginable, and it's in the southwest. Only the army commander can handle this matter."

Gu Xiaowu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Qu Liying has joined hands with this official, Wang Shuzhong is Gan Biao's confidant, I'm afraid it won't be so fast to sow discord, if the commander is convicted and executed before then..."

"The commander of the army is acting strangely. Gan Biao is naturally suspicious, and he can delay for a few more days. Just follow the previous arrangement, sir. Please leave the rest of the matter to the subordinate officials."

Gu Xiaowu said in surprise: "What are you going to do?!"

"It's hard to sow discord, but it's just that you haven't stepped on the bottom line of Gan Biao."

After some twists and turns, Yijing fulfilled his promise, and Li Changming was released from prison without charge.

He seems to be still unconscious. He has no medicine to take for many days, and the Jiangyuan breath is scattered everywhere. Even a Hesheng jailer looks at him with malicious eyes, as if he wants to tear him apart and eat him. However, When he untied his chains, he saw the bloodstains on Chang Ming's palm as deep as ravines, and he was frightened out of his wits.

It was dark in the prison, and when Li Changming was released from prison, he turned his head and closed his eyes because he couldn't bear the glare of the sun.

"Battalion Commander!" A childish and joyful voice sounded. Chang Ming thought for a long time before he remembered that it was Gu Liang Yiqing who was calling him. When he saw him coming out, he reached out to help him. Another car and horse was heard in the distance.

"Seventh Battalion Commander, go slowly!" A woman said in the car, her voice was not loud, but she was majestic and powerful, making Chang Ming and Gu Liang Yiqing forget her movements for a while.

Gu Xiaowu lifted the curtain of the car and jumped down. The driver who drove her was Fan Yan, a high school martial arts champion a few months ago.

"Seventh Battalion Commander, someone asked me to come here and ask you, do you want to continue to be the Seventh Battalion Commander, or resign immediately and leave?"

Gu Liang Yiqing stared at Gu Xiaowu dumbfounded, but Li Changming lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"If you are still the battalion commander of the Seventh Battalion, then let Gu Liang Yiqing take you back to Jianhe Valley immediately, and prepare for the rest of the work. If you are no longer competent, then let Fan Yan send you away from the royal city now, and don't come back again." , Gu Xiaowu settled her voice and said: "The man wants me to tell you, time is running out, no matter how much you have been wronged, you have no time to cry, we need a reorganized Seventh Battalion Commander, not a slumped Li Changming. , don’t say any more, let’s end now.”

There was silence for a moment, everyone's eyes were glued to one person, Gu Liang Yiqing clenched the long whip in his hand, Fan Yan couldn't help but grasp the iron rod, and Li Changming just bowed his head silently, as if in thought or sorrow.

Gu Xiaowu thought that this kind of stalemate would take more time, but unexpectedly Chang Ming moved his footsteps, walked towards Gu Liang Yiqing's direction, and got into the car with her support. Upon closer inspection, his complexion was pale, His palms are mottled, his spirit is listless, but his eyes are cold and deep.

"What else did that person say?" Chang Ming asked, his voice was hoarse and his tone was strange after days of silence.

Gu Xiaowu turned around and took out the package and an ordinary horizontal knife from the car and handed it to him: "You take it and use it, there are instructions in the package."

Gu Liang Yiqing turned her head to look at Gu Xiaowu again, and drove back.

The news of the Seventh Battalion Commander's return shocked the entire Jianhe Valley, but Jiang Yuan's aura was not suppressed. Along the way, everyone's eyes had their own merits, whether they were contemptuous, curious, or sympathetic.

Chang Ming didn't explain to anyone, but went directly to Xuanwu Pavilion. After seeing Lan Mo, he took the map and returned to Mozhi Pavilion.

"Battalion Commander..." Chu Guangliang was worried when he saw that he looked neither human nor ghost, but he didn't want Chang Ming's eyes to fluctuate, but made him put away his words of concern, and ordered: "Let Brother and sister Helian came to see me."

Unable to be summoned by Chu Guangliang, the Helian siblings had already come to the door.

"I've come to you for a confidential and important matter, which must not be leaked or left behind." After speaking, he spread out the map in front of the two of them and signaled them to come forward.

The Helian siblings looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

Gu Xiaowu came to Wangcheng again, but she didn't want the doctor to say that Gan Yi's breathing was weak and she couldn't tell when she would wake up, so Gu Xiaowu could only sigh, feeling dark for a while, so she found a place and sat down to rest.

Lu Yichuan rushed over in a hurry, and before he could catch his breath, he told Gu Xiaowu that Wang Shuzhong had decided to open a court to interrogate Yijing.

Yijing not only pleaded guilty, but also prepared the evidence for Wang Shuzhong. If the interrogation starts now, Yijing will be convicted and killed. Lu Yichuan sees this as the end of the road.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaowu waved her hand: "You go back, don't worry, if you ask for news, someone will stop this matter."

"There might be a way? No matter how fast Mr. Qu is, it won't happen overnight..." Lu Yichuan said in disbelief.

"It's okay, you go back."

Lu Yichuan had no choice but to leave suspiciously.

When Gan Biao was discussing with Wang Shuzhong, a young servant came to see Wang Shuzhong with a letter and a box.

"My lord, your letter."

"Letter?" Wang Shuzhong was also taken aback.

"Yes", the young man said a few words: "It was sent to your lord by a man named Fu Yuanping." After saying that, he respectfully offered the box and the letter with both hands.

He is just a servant, usually lowering his eyebrows and listening to his ears, and he shouldn't look up at Shi Shiqing and Hubu Shangshu, but after holding this thing for a long time, he didn't see any orders from the adults, and the room was silent, if he hadn't lowered his head to see Lord Wang official boots, I'm afraid you will think that the adults disappeared without a trace in an instant.

In the end he couldn't hold back, just when he wanted to raise his head quietly, unexpectedly, there was a roar from the hall, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

"Wang Shuzhong!"

The boy was so frightened that his legs went limp and he fell to the ground. Only then did he see Marble Qing slumped on the chair, like a dead body for a long time. If it wasn't for the trembling of his clasped hands, the boy would have been terrified. Call out for your life.

Gan Biao didn't pay attention to these two people, but rushed to the boy's side like the wind, grabbed the letter and opened it, his eyes were wide open, his canthus was about to split, and he was furious.

"Lord Shangshu...your subordinate...your subordinate..." Wang Shuzhong explained incoherently: "I don't know, my subordinate! Fu Yuanping must have died a long time ago, someone must have framed him!"

"Framed?!" Gan Biao threw the letter on his face and roared, "Of course you would never have imagined that I could recognize this person's handwriting and forcefully engrave it in his mind! How can I be so grateful to you, thank you for not killing me?!"

As he said that, he kicked the box open, and the jewels in it were scattered all over the floor.

When Gu Xiaowu received the news, she couldn't help exclaiming: "Fu Yuanping?!"

Lu Yichuan didn't understand, so he nodded: "It's the name, does your lord know it?"

Gu Xiaowu closed her eyes and shook her head, as if she didn't want to say any more, she continued to order: "Let Qu Liying prepare, even if Wang Shuzhong doesn't die, he will be removed from office and become a citizen."
