Iron Armored Emperor

The two reasons Gu Lie gave Di Qiye for deciding to go to Mount Qingcheng were both true.

A reason to lure snakes out of their holes.

If Wu Kun intends to tear up the covenant and take advantage of the Chu army's unpreparedness for a sneak attack, then the best time for him to act is now when the Chu army and the Fengzu are discussing the detailed rules of the alliance.

Gu Lie originally planned to put a bait, pretend to be slack, and take the guards to the border of Qinzhou and Shuzhou for hunting.

Now it is only a temporary change from hunting to visiting Mount Qingcheng.

Another reason, Di Qiye.

After Gu Lie was reborn and woke up, apart from the death of Yan Fuchu, he was thinking about Di Qiye, and he didn't want this person to die in his arms again.

In the previous life, three cities in Shuzhou were slaughtered. Lu Yi thought he was from Chu, but he was born and raised in Shuzhou.

He asked himself to fight, and Gu Lie of course agreed. Lu Yi, full of anger, drove the Feng Clan from Shuzhou all the way out of Xizhou, until he was driven back to Dayun Grassland, and even burned the most fertile grassland in Dayun Grassland twice. It was only for a moment that the hatred in his heart was relieved.

At that time, Di Qiye was fighting Qingzhou. After the three battles against Qingzhou, he thought it was not enough, so he asked Gu Lie to ask for a fight. He was sent by Gu Lie to attack Zhongzhou. state.

In other words, Di Qiye and Feng Clan had never confronted each other in the previous life.It is impossible for Di Qiye to have met Mu Lian, and as for Wu Kun, he should have only seen the rumored side.

Di Qiye's reputation for treason in his previous life was truly wronged.

However, Gu Lie now thinks very clearly that the crux of Di Qiye's death in his previous life did not lie in anyone's words to be feared, but in himself.

Di Qiye didn't care about his salary, he didn't even know where his land was and how much his salary was, so he was fooled by Gu Lie into a debt of 100 taels of silver.

Among them, Di Qiye didn't know Nongsang very well, but more, Gu Lie speculated, it was because Di Qiye didn't care about it at all.

The same is true of Di Qiye in his previous life. He ignored political affairs, stood by and watched, and regarded himself as a pure soldier, not a general, and he didn't even want to be a prince.

This sealed his end.

In the most common sense, people have weaknesses, so they can be controlled.If there is a weakness, it is to ask for something.As honest as Zhu Beihe, he had to walk with the family who were also Chu Gu's family; as loyal as Jiang Yang, sitting in the position of prime minister, he had to pave the way for the descendants of the Jiang family.

It's not that they have changed, it's that their position requires them to do so, interests, family, court wrestling... Even if they just want to be pure ministers, they must understand the truth that when water is clear, there will be no fish. If you can't even do your job well, how can you be loyal to Da Chu?

In his previous life, Di Qiye was the only hero who was ennobled by Gu Lie after he ascended the throne. As the Marquis of Dingguo, he had a fief, a salary, elite soldiers, and a tiger talisman.

The power he possesses makes his team selection crucial.

If he doesn't stand in line, he offends everyone.

Among them, the Gu and Liu families in Zhongzhou were particularly afraid of Di Qiye, because Di Qiye had never shown favor to his relatives, and had a rather indifferent attitude towards his son and queen, and there were even rumors of rebellion, which seriously threatened the status and status of his son. future.

Gu Lie put Di Qiye in that position with his own hands, half of it was intentional, and the other half was because Di Qiye's military achievements were too high, so there was no reward for him, only the title of Marquis.

Therefore, even if Gu Lie thought in his heart that Di Qiye would not rebel, Gu Lie had to be on guard against him after Di Qiye held great power. The monarch and his ministers are in harmony.

Anyone in Gu Lie's position would do this.

Anyone who is in Di Qiye's position will cooperate with Gu Lie, just like a wolf that shows its throat to the wolf king to express its submission, and takes the initiative to show its weakness, so that the wolf king can divide the meat with confidence.

But Di Qiye didn't do it.

It's not that he is ignorant of politics, just like what he said to Gu Lie, he just made up his mind to be a pure general who leads troops and fights. He "comes for Gu Lie" and only to fulfill his "ideal".

However, this is not possible.

Just like Gu Lie was destined to become an emperor, Di Qiye continued to fight like this, and he made great military achievements. After Gu Lie ascended the throne and established Chu, he was destined to be named a Marquis again.

What if Gu Lie doesn't move him?Civil servants, military generals, relatives and clans all have the possibility of attacking Di Qiye. In his previous life, when Di Qiye died, Gu Lie ordered the court to be destroyed from the inside out, but there were no people left, so it was of no use.

If Di Qiye didn't change his behavior, he would end up in the same way in this life.

How can I persuade him to change?This person is willful and willful, and he doesn't take hard and soft.Treat him well, he is more willful.Treat him badly... How dare Gu Lie treat him badly?Arsenic_Shuang heartbroken again, Gu Lie must be mad at him to death.

Therefore, since hard and soft are useless, we can only understand Di Qiye's crux from the source.

The past cannot be traced, and the only clue within reach is Mount Qingcheng.

The generals have no objection to the lord's deployment of the Wind Clan. It is not a rare trick to lure a snake out of a hole, and they must have executed it beautifully.

But the lord announced that he would only take Brother Di to visit Qingcheng Mountain, which is quite interesting.

Is it because he is afraid that Brother Di will secretly transfer troops to fight again, or is the rumor somewhat true...?

Usually it was Di Qiye who stayed at the end, but this time it was Jiang Yang. Jiang Yang just heard yesterday that Mu Lian is Di Qiye's second senior brother, and today Gu Lie will go on a tour alone with Di Qiye, which makes him How can Jiang Yang rest assured.

To Jiang Yang, Gu Lie didn't want to lie, but he couldn't tell the truth. This trip to Qingcheng Mountain couldn't bring other people. If the old thief was still alive, he might say something amazing. Di Qiye would explain it all his life. I don't know.

Gu Lie thought for a while, and finally said: "There are some family matters to deal with."

It's all because of Mu Lian's yelling one by one juniors too affectionately, Gu Lie said a "family matter" inadvertently, but couldn't change his words, put on an inscrutable appearance and left.

Now Jiang Yang was even more puzzled.

In addition to doubts, Jiang Yang also felt that the lord's behavior had become more and more unpredictable recently, and a trace of awe was inexplicably born in his heart.

Jiang Yang went out fanning his feather fan with a heavy heart, and bumped into Yan Fagu on the road, thinking of it, he comforted him: "Fagu, don't worry, the lord will not let the Wang family go."

Yan Fagu got the promise from Gu Lie a long time ago, so he just nodded with a serious look.

Jiang Yang saw him like this, so he simply put aside the lord and brother Di who couldn't control him, and pulled Yan Fagu away: "Let's go, let's find Lu Yi to play mahjong cards."

Yan Fagu hurriedly struggled: "Wait, wait."

"Wait for what?"

"Look at that cloud in the sky, does it look like a unicorn?"

"..."

"It's a good omen for the unicorn to give birth to a child!"

"..."

"Hey, don't go."

But it was said that Gu Lie took Di Qiye out of the Chu army's camp with great fanfare under the escort of the guards, rode his horse and galloped for three hours, and arrived outside the valley on the north side of the Qingcheng Mountains.

"There are many organs here, you stay outside," Gu Lie ordered, "General Di and I will go inside to check. If no one is seen in two days, you can go inside and check according to this map."

The guards took Gu Lie's order as their only criterion of action. No matter how well-trained they were, they couldn't help being stunned for a moment when they heard this order, before they knelt down to respond.

"Enter the mountain alone. My lord trusts me so much?" Di Qiye asked with raised eyebrows.

Gu Lie asked back: "Shouldn't this king trust you?"

Di Qiye smiled but did not answer.

The two rode their horses into the valley, with Di Qiye in front and Gu Lie behind.There are countless organs along the way, some of which have been damaged over the years, and some are still very sensitive. If Di Qiye hadn't led the way, ordinary people would have been buried in the organs if they entered the valley.

Di Qiye urged Wushuang to move forward slowly, and said: "These institutions are still the same as I modified them, but there are a few places that are not in the right direction, and the sign that I originally put up outside the valley has been moved. Or the wild beasts and birds smashed open."

"The agency?"

"The worst guess is that the old thief may have been out of the valley." Di Qiye frowned. "When I left the valley, he was already very old, and his movements were not so flexible. He had to rest after taking two steps. Unexpectedly Can he go out of the valley? If so, I made a mistake."

Speaking of which, Di Qiye became vigilant: "You must be careful and follow me closely. If that old thief changes his trap, it must be a sinister killer move, so don't take it lightly."

Gu Lie responded softly, and the two of them walked more carefully, and when they walked out of the valley road and entered the wide valley, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Those bamboo and wooden houses look like they have been deserted for a long time, and they are depressed and half collapsed.

"Be careful," Di Qiye reminded again, not taking it lightly.

If he hadn't seen the crazy Mu Lian with his own eyes, Gu Lie might think that Di Qiye was overly cautious, but now, Gu Lie doesn't think it's too much at all.

The two walked past this row of wooden houses and bamboo houses, which according to Di Qiye was the place where pharmaceuticals and drugs were manufactured, and then turned around a protruding mountain bend, Di Qiye quickly hid behind a tree while grabbing Gu Lie's hand.

Ahead is a wooden house that is much larger than the previous row of wooden houses and bamboo houses. It has a yard and a fence, and there are three rooms in size.

At first glance, there is no abnormality.

Gu Lie approached Di Qiye in confusion, and asked in a low voice, "Who lives here?"

Di Qiye looked at the yard with a frown, and said concisely: "Old thief."

"Where did you live?"

"In the cave."

In the cave?

Gu Lie was about to ask, but he saw Di Qiye touched his lips with his fingers, signaling him not to speak.

Gu Lie followed Di Qiye's line of sight, but saw a child with a knife running towards the end of the path.

The child ran into the yard and shouted at the door of the wooden house: "Have you thought about it yet?"

The voice is a boy, his posture with the knife is not standard, presumably he has never practiced martial arts.

A hoarse and proud old voice came from inside the wooden house: "What are you thinking?"

"let me out!"

"Hahahahaha," the old voice laughed sullenly, "I said, unless you agree to be my apprentice, otherwise, even if you kill me, you will not be able to get out until you die!"

"You killed the old beggar, even if I die, I won't be your apprentice!" The boy gritted his teeth and tried to hold back, but he still couldn't help crying a little.

The old voice seemed to turn a deaf ear to it, and said frantically: "Your aptitude is better than my two previous apprentices, but you are just an outcast on the street, but you can draw inferences from one example, and use the old man's mechanism to trap the old man here, with a bright future."

"I won't be your apprentice! I won't be your apprentice!"

The boy didn't know what to do, he shouted excitedly holding the knife, and couldn't help crying.
