Chapter 228: Planning

In the Ling Kingdom Palace, the Ling Emperor sat in the pavilion in the garden. The surrounding palace guards were five feet away, and only Yao Saifeng knelt in front of the Ling Emperor.

The Spirit Emperor looked at him and said: Get up.

Yao Saifeng replied: If you can't get up, you're tired of standing, so it's better to kneel down.

The Spirit Emperor asked: Is there any news?

Yao Saifeng replied: Zhong Chenghou of Jingxuezhai once went to find Gu Du and injured Gu Du, but he did not kill him. Caomin felt that Zhong Chenghou had the ability to kill Gu Du.

A cold light flashed in the Ling Emperor's eyes and asked: If you have the ability to kill, why not kill?

Yao Saifeng replied: It is involved in Jueling Sect. It is said that when Zhong Chenghou saw the sword formation, he recognized it as Jueling Sect, and then said that the victory or defeat was determined on the battlefield.

The Spirit Emperor frowned and asked: Are there any more powerful figures in the Jueling Sect?

Yao Saifeng replied: Caomin thought otherwise, it should be because Zhong Chenghou was afraid of revenge of Jueling Sect, so he did not dare to kill Gu Du. If there were more powerful people in Jueling Sect

Yao Saifeng stopped, looked up at the Spirit Emperor. The Spirit Emperor nodded and said: Yes, no one has ever assassinated me.

After a moment of silence, the Linghuang said: You go to Jingxuezhai for me and ask Zhong Chenghou to kill Gu Du, and tell him that this is my will.

Yao Saifeng said: Emperor, the people of the grass have to ask a few questions, otherwise they are afraid that things will not be done.

The Emperor of Spirit replied: You ask.

Chu Qin returned to the imperial city and went to find her father-in-law Shangguan Mingfeng first. He heard that Shangguan He was going to be a hostage. Shangguan Mingfeng said earnestly: Chu Qin, you can't have a small one, just ignore the big one, right? After all, He'er is your first wife.

Chu Qin said with a grievance: Why did my father-in-law praise the son-in-law so much? How could I bear to let He'er be a hostage? But Mrs. Gu insisted that He'er go to be at ease. For the sake of the overall situation, the son-in-law was also difficult. Besides, Gu Du came here just to assist in the defense and war, and He'er was just staying in Juelingmen for a while.

Alas, Shangguan Mingfeng shook his head and sighed, and said in a low voice: Chu Qin, as the saying goes, "Not confused at forty, why are you still so naive?"

Chu Qin was stunned, and Shangguan Mingfeng whispered again: Do you really think the emperor will swallow this? There are no two days, and there are no two kings in the country. Zeguo is originally a branch that defected from the Lingguo. How could the emperor give up?

Chu Qin frowned and said: My son-in-law thought that when the foreign tribes invaded, he should work together to defend the enemy and not kill each other.

Shangguan Mingfeng smiled bitterly and whispered: This is the best time to take action. It can not only shirk responsibility, but also anger the Zeguo. Moreover, once the Zeguo loses Gu Du, it is not worth worrying. If the hatred can be directed to the Bear Man Kingdom, it would be even better.

Chu Qin frowned, Shangguan Mingfeng sighed and said: Since Gu Duyou requested, you should report to Emperor Ming. It just so happened that I also want to know how the emperor would choose.

Chu Qin entered the palace in a complicated mood and reported Gu Du's request. Emperor Ling sneered and said: The two countries have signed letters of nationality, and now it is an invasion of foreign races. Even if our Ling Kingdom is fighting to the last one, he will never take anyone as a staunch. If he does not understand the principle of losing his lips and cold teeth, he can do it on the wall!

Chu Qin felt very comforted. Although Shangguan Mingfeng was right, the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Gu Du, but after all, he was concerned about Shangguan He's safety.

The Emperor Ling said again: So, you actually had the idea of ​​letting your first wife be a hostage. I know that you are dedicated to the country and are loyal to you, but as a seven-foot man, you can't protect your family. How can I entrust this country and country to you?

Chu Qin said: I am ashamed.

Emperor Ling said: You don’t have to see Gu Du again. I will order someone to send a letter of nationality. You can rest for two days and go to Lingbo County.

Gu Du did not wait for Chu Qin's reply, but what he was waiting for was a newspaper from Zhenbei Pass, saying that the envoy of Lingguo brought the letter to the pass and went straight to the Imperial City of Zeguo.

Gu Du immediately took Dongfang Xia Lan back to Zeguo. On the way, Dongfang Xia Lan asked: What does Chu Qin mean?

Gu Du replied: It’s not Chu Qin’s intention, Linghuang still wants to get rid of me.

Dongfang Xia Lan asked: What should I do?

Gu Du replied: There is no other choice unless you retire.

Dongfang Xia Lan said anxiously: You know it’s a trap, but you want to go too?

Gu Du replied: After ten years of war, he was famous all over the world. At this time when the foreign tribes invaded, there was no way to avoid it.

Dongfang Xia Lan shouted: Chu Qin is really not a thing!

Gu Du said: He doesn't want to kill me, it's the Spirit Emperor who wants to kill me, Chu Qin is not the Spirit Emperor after all.

Yao Saifeng waited in Jingxuezhai's guest room for four days before meeting Zhong Chenghou.

Zhong Chenghou asked: What is the matter with you here?

Yao Saifeng replied: According to the emperor's order, please ask you to take action to settle a matter that should have been settled long ago.

Zhong Chenghou said: I am about to leave and live here. It is just a waste of time. The emperor's order is really a difficult task. Besides, I don't know what the Lord said.

Yao Saifeng rolled her eyes and said: Old Master Zhong, there are so many guards around Gu Ban. When you went to kill him, two guards were beaten so hard that they vomited blood by you. They hate you.

Zhong Chenghou said coldly: Since you know so much, you should understand why I didn’t kill Gu Du.

Yao Saifeng raised his hand, raised his fingers and covered his mouth and smiled, saying: I understand what the use is. This is the emperor's will. Is this Jingxuezhai or is it from Lingguo? Your granddaughter is Mrs. Ru of the high priest Chu Qin.

Zhong Chenghou said: I want to see the emperor.

Yao Saifeng smiled and replied: OK, go see you old, no one stops you old.

Gu Duxian's envoy returned to the Imperial City of Zeguo one day, immediately went to the palace to meet him, and explained the situation to Emperor Ze. Emperor Zeguo frowned and asked: Why must the uncle take risks with himself? There are so many generals and officials, and anyone can lead the army to defend.

Gu Du replied: It’s not that I want to go, but that I can’t hide. Chu Qin once taught me that what should come will always come, and it’s useless to be afraid, and the more I’m afraid of death, the faster I’ll die.

Emperor Ze frowned and turned his face to look at Li Xia. Li Xia said: Chu Qin had never told me, Chu Qin liked him and didn't tell me anything.

Emperor Ze frowned even more, Gu Du said: Emperor, even if the ministers do not leave, the Emperor Ling will not lose his intention to kill the ministers, and will also tell the world that the Ze Kingdom is afraid of the enemy and afraid of the war when the foreign tribes invaded, and even servile, and unite with the foreign tribes to plot against the Ling Kingdom.

Emperor Ze said: I can send troops to defend, but the uncle doesn't have to.

Emperor Lixia interrupted Emperor Ze and said: Everyone knows that the commander of the Ze Kingdom is my brother. If someone changes his troops, I am afraid that the people in the country will be suspicious. What’s even more terrifying is that rumors are everywhere, people’s hearts are dispersed, and they will be defeated without a fight. Emperor Ling’s plan is positive and negative. If my brother goes, he will hide murderous intentions. If my brother doesn’t go, he will kill his heart.
