Gu Xiaowu: The chess game has already been decided, you and I are just pawns.

To put it simply, Gu Xiaowu realized that she was being used by others, and fully understood that she was not one of the leaders of the political situation.She is not, Gan Yi is not, Gan Biao is not, everyone is secretly manipulated by another person.

Yijing heard the sound of the door, kept the brush in his hand, and never raised his head, but asked indifferently: "Why did you punish the three people in Owen's camp?"

Chang Ming Shi Shiran closed the door, and replied calmly, "Lazy and slippery, contempt for the superior."

Yijing paused with the brush in his hand, and didn't say anything else, but Chang Ming suddenly felt something was wrong: "Why is the commander in the lower office?"

Yijing raised his head slowly: "You went to the wrong room."

The two looked at each other speechlessly, Chang Ming said flatly, "Resign from my office", rushed out the door, and I could still hear Yijing's hearty laughter until they were far away, and everyone passing by thought that his army commander had eaten black weed by mistake , almost a letter asking Bai Xiangying to help.

"The Seventh Battalion Commander is proud of himself this time," Liu Yedong snorted, "It can be said that he can stand out from the crowd."

"Shut up!" Lan Mo scolded, "If you respect him as the Seventh Battalion Commander, you should know that you shouldn't talk about superiors behind your back. Don't you understand this rule?"

Liu Yedong remained silent for a long time before muttering: "But he is like this..."

"What is original?" Lan Mo asked back, "He has been the commander of the Seventh Battalion for some years, you can rest easy, he will stay up all night, you can eat, but he has no time to eat and drink. He is really a newborn calf, and he doesn't know good or bad."

Liu Yedong was ashamed by Lan Mo's few words, and he was still stubborn: "Look at him and Nan Rong Xingcheng making a big fuss, didn't the rebels still fail to break through? Isn't it a waste of effort?"

Lan Mo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's understandable to take precautions before they happen... In short, these words should not be spoken outside the house, let alone reach the ears of the Seventh Battalion Commander. Otherwise, it will be a serious crime to slander the Shangguan."

"Yes..." Liu Yedong agreed with curled lips.

Lan Mo sighed helplessly, raised his pen and continued with his business, and Xing Sheng and Bao Huan begged to see each other, and handed over the battle damage.

"I heard that you fell down due to an injury a few days ago. Are you feeling better today? Does the wound still hurt?" Liu Yedong asked Xingcheng with concern. Xingcheng just apologized and said with a smile that he was fine. De Lan Mo praised that he only needs to make a slight modification to the battle damage table and report it to the army commander, so that Xing Cheng can go back to rest early.

"How come one or two of these people have such a face, and they still have the face to ask you how your injury is, why don't you think about how you fell ill if he hadn't neglected to take the medicine?" Bao Huan said indignantly, holding the knife in his arms.

Xing Sheng said lightly in relief: "He is not a hypocritical person, and he has no malice in his heart, just a child's heart. He never violated the order of the battalion commander, took care of me and was diligent in greeting the decoction, but he was a little careless. Be straight."

"I heard it just now. He said that about the commander of the Seventh Battalion. You still said that he is straightforward?"

"How many people in the army don't treat the Seventh Battalion Commander this way?"

Bao Huan thought for a while, but found it difficult to answer.

The plague had subsided smoothly. Before Huancheng went south to return to Jianhe Valley, Yijing had to go to Wangcheng to reinstate the emperor. When he stepped into the courtyard of Gu Xiaowu's house, he happened to see Gu Xiaowu looking up at the snow-covered branches.

"The commander of the army came back from the north, and the journey was hard." Gu Xiaowu took down the warm wine from the stove, and poured him a bowl himself.

Yijing took it smoothly, put it on the table, took out the three letters from his bosom, and handed them to Gu Xiaowu, but Gu Xiaowu didn't show any surprise, but smiled confidently: "The commander already knows about them. Guan Qiao, so he didn't want to hand over the letter to Lu Yichuan, so he had no choice but to invite you to my place."

"That's right. The letter has been handed over. I'd like to ask Mr. Gu to give me an explanation. Don't you worry about why you did this? Once such rumors spread, the sage will be coerced by the rumors, and he will drive all Jiangyuan out of the court in pain. Peace of mind? Years of painstaking efforts have been burned, is it what adults expect?"

"Since the commander of the army said so," Gu Xiaowu's eyes turned, and the countless organs were all hidden in his confidantes, "There is no reason for others to suspect that it was my officer..."

"Your Excellency still hasn't explained why this is so. If there is an emergency, wouldn't it be dangerous?" Yijing's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, unable to relax.

"The commander of the army thinks, is it the sage's thought that is the most important thing, or the mouth of the world? Why did your lord suffer the demotion? Could it be that he offended all the officials of the court?"

Yijing suddenly stared at her with wide eyes.

"You and I both know that the Holy Majesty just found an excuse to frustrate you. At the age of 20, he acted as the commander of the army. How glorious was Prime Minister Su when he was alive? If the commander hadn't been impeached today, he would be impeached tomorrow." I have to wait for the imperial decree to lay your dead body on the street." Gu Xiaowu said with a sad expression, as if she had something else to say except for those things that the two of them had already understood.

"Qu Liying, Lu Yichuan, and the army commander have made other careful arrangements. I believe there will be no serious problems. How can there be anything that can be said to be safe?" Gu Xiaowu slowly stood up on the stone table, "Besides, this matter, There are other people who are more nervous and concerned than this official."

"What do you mean, my lord?"

Gu Xiaowu glanced at him, the pain that he wanted to talk about reflected off the dark night and white snow, painting the desolation of loneliness.She didn't answer this sentence, but said: "Prince Xingzhu was born, and the brothers of the Gan family were overjoyed. But I feel that I am getting old, and I am afraid that time is running out. If I can't get what I want in my lifetime, I will die under the nine springs." Who else can deliver the great cause? God-given opportunity, it is better to give it a try. After these rumors, the emperor has a lot of estrangement from the brothers of the Gan family, and it can be said that it is a great success. I know that the commander of the army is heartbroken. Why are those who are so merciful? Could it be that the commander intends to expose this official?"

"You expected that I wouldn't dare to do this." Yijing seemed angry, "If the truth comes to light, you will inevitably die."

"That's right." Gu Xiaowu sneered, "Shen Sixian, Wang Shuzhong, Tang Lian, Fan Yan, and Cheng Lei are all ants who can't help themselves...even you and me..."

"My lord did this for the brothers of the Gan family?" Yijing was confused, "I don't understand what your lord said today."

Gu Xiaowu thought for a long time before she opened her mouth and said: "Then don't understand, we are just smart people who think we hold the chess in our hands and rule the world, after all, we are just a piece of chess..."

Yijing narrowed his eyes and looked at her slightly.

Gu Xiaowu's expression was indifferent, her eyes were slightly gray, as if she really did what she said - she was old and her time was numbered.

In the days when the smiles were like flowers in the past, now there are only white hairs on the temples.

No one cares that she was beautiful and charming when she was born, no one cares about the thousands of pains in her heart, no one cares about when she is lost and confused, Yijing doesn't care, Chang Ming doesn't care, even Su Shengyi doesn't care when he died, wasting the beauty in the mirror The country is overwhelmed, and what is left is the decisive killing of the family, the country and the world. They only care that her name is Gu Xiaowu.

Yijing didn't understand why she was so depressed and scrupled. The person who pretended to be strong after Su Shengyi's death shouldn't be lamenting that time is impermanent and the living are easy to grow old.

"My lord has made me feel at a loss this time," Yijing said as if admitting defeat, "If there is something to do, please be frank, I don't like this feeling of ignorance."

"Commander, do you still remember that more than ten years ago, the coup in the palace led to the enthronement of the saint?"

"Naturally remember."

"Today's emperor is not Xingzhu."

Before the army of Ningwu returned to the Jianhe Valley, the emperor issued a decree. Because the general, Sifu Luo Yijing, was suspected of indiscriminately killing innocent people, the Manchu court accused Zaidao, dismissed him from the post of general, and retained him as a school lieutenant to serve as a censor. Taiwan re-investigated the case, and Qin Zuoxi temporarily acted as commander of Ningwu Army.

During the chaos, Chang Ming secretly took a look at Yi Jing, and he really had other thoughts.

In other words, since saying goodbye to Gu Xiaowu yesterday, he has been absent-minded, and even Chang Ming never took a second look.

"This..." Qin Zuoxi was at a loss holding the imperial decree. Seeing the servants passing away, he begged Yijing anxiously: "Please take back the order! The officer is only the commander of the left battalion. How can He De temporarily act?" Commander!"

Lan Mo glanced at Yijing, then looked away again.

Yijing replied helplessly: "This matter happened so suddenly, how could someone tell me? If I can choose another army commander to take over, it should be Lan Mo who is familiar with it. However, the emperor ordered you to do it, how can you disobey?"

These words were not loud enough to make Lan Mo on the side understand, and then his brows and eyes relaxed, and he turned to comfort Yijing and Qin Zuoxi: "Qin Battalion Commander, don't worry, the army commander and this officer are still the same. In the army, I can help you a lot. The Son of Heaven is aware of the details, and when the truth is reported from the Yushitai, the Son of Heaven will definitely restore the chief of the army to his post."

Qin Zuoxi wished to thank God when he heard this.

Yijing on the other side waved his hands and smiled wryly: "Don't call him that, the lower official is no longer a great army commander, and he doesn't deserve such kindness from the battalion commanders."

These words frightened the six battalion commanders into shouting, Li Changming was among them, and Qin Zuoxi had to decide where to place Yijing, so after some disputes, he was still placed in the seventh battalion.

The Seventh Battalion Commander looked up to the sky and sighed.

"According to you, Cheng Lei's rebellion should have another mastermind." Gan Yi walked slowly in the hall and said in thought.

"That's exactly what I mean," Qu Liying sighed softly, "However, because of the Huancheng incident, I couldn't find out what was wrong with it, and I don't know what kind of words Lu Yichuan prepared to return to the Holy One."

Gan Yi thought to herself, her eyes dimmed, but Qu Liying felt that he didn't care about the instigator of the rumors, and heard him ask: "In your opinion, will he say that it was the official who did it?"

"How is this possible!" Qu Liying immediately got up and exclaimed, while Gan Yi's face was still as calm as water, and she seemed to have thought of something, and a chill rose in her heart: "This time the rumor... Your Excellency has always opposed Jiang Yuan's reign. The official is worried... No, it shouldn't be like this, Mr. Prime Minister is above one person and under ten thousand people, Lu Yichuan has no reason for us, such a false accusation, a serious crime cannot escape!"

Gan Yi nodded, but her expression never relaxed, she just said indifferently: "You are right, it's because I'm worrying too much."

"There is one other thing", Qu Liying didn't understand why after returning to the royal city, Gan Xiang was unhappy, but there were many things to do, so there was no delay. ..."

"The whole story, you have already said it, so report it truthfully... But let's take it easy for a while, the Holy Majesty has no intention of dismissing Yijing, but he is acting on the occasion, but he is worried that he will be arrogant, so you might as well observe his words and actions, and then report it according to the Holy Majesty's wishes." Let him return to his original position." Gan Yi paused for a while, and then urged: "You must not disobey the Holy One."

"Master?" Qu Liying didn't understand why she was so careful.

"You have been away from the court for more than a few months, so it is naturally hard to understand." Gan Yi pressed her brow with her thumb, half-closed her eyes and said in a low voice: "The saint didn't say it clearly, but the truth can always detect that he is no longer as trustworthy as before." Yu Truth...has been feeling uneasy these days, and I don't know why, seeing you come back now, maybe he thinks Truth is behind the scenes, and he is a villain in vain."

Qu Liying's heart skipped a beat, it didn't sound like an idiom of physical and mental exhaustion, but it made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

"Forget it, you come back from exhaustion, go back home and rest if you have nothing to do." Gan Yi said, supporting the seat with both hands and reluctantly getting up, but Qu Liying didn't care to support him, but said solemnly: "No, there is another matter—— Maybe Fu Yuanping really isn't dead."

Gan Yi suddenly fell down on the chair.

"The lower official was assassinated in the forest of the underworld. The man was so agile that he seriously injured or killed everyone around the lower official. When the lower official was at a loss... I don't know if there is something sneaky in my heart, but I feel that the person hates the sky..." Qu Thinking about the past, Liying sweated like rain on her forehead, and when she lowered her head to look at her palms, she realized that her body was still trembling slightly.

"The truth is that I know that forest is originally a treasure land of the Sifuluo family. There are many strange things in it, and there is no way to get in. The person who assassinated you in the forest may have premeditated to follow."

Gan Yi turned his head to see his tall figure in the dusk of the setting sun, and suddenly felt the appearance of another person emerging from it, and in the blink of an eye, everything returned to silence, and he even wondered whether it was a retribution from heaven, or just a guilty conscience.When he said "planning to follow" to Qu Liying, the shudder seemed to be tacit understanding between the two.

Qu Liying calmed down and continued: "Your official guessed otherwise. If there was a premeditated plan, the killer should not be aware of it, and all the companions would be killed. There shouldn't be another killer hiding in it. Fortunately, Yijing rescued him in time... ...If you really follow the official, with that person's martial arts skills, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the official to repay Xiangye's kindness!"

"Is that person among them?"

Qu Liying thought for a while, guessed the deep meaning of his words, and nodded truthfully.

"Yijing has his own bearing, and understanding the overall situation is the most important thing." A chill flashed in Gan Yi's eyes.

Yijing will not expose Gu Xiaowu's bad deeds, they are allies in the first place, and Gu Xiaowu is not a person whose IQ is not online, the important thing is, if he has this idea, let Gu Xiaowu Buried alive.He is very clear that Gu Xiaowu can abandon everything for the sake of profit.
