Chapter 256: Don't pursue it
Chapter 256: No investigation
Gu Du woke up and saw Yun Jincai's haggard face with a smile on her, and asked, "Did you tell Xia Lan?"
Yun Jincai replied, "I didn't dare to say it."
Gu Du moved for a moment, frowned slightly, then sat up, opened his clothes and saw the wound healed, and asked, "Who has healed my wound?"
Yun Jincai replied: "The Fairy of Palm Palm."
Gu Du was stunned and asked, "Is she here? Is that someone?"
Yun Jincai stared at him and said with resentment: "Let's go! He's a fairy, can he stay and live with you?"
Gu Du coughed awkwardly and asked, "Who wants to kill me?"
Yun Jincai replied: "He Xuzhuo's grandson, He Yingruo."
Gu Duwei narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are people still alive?"
Yun Jincai replied: "Alive, locked up."
Gu Du stepped down and got out of bed, and suddenly felt dizzy. Yun Jincai hurriedly hugged him.
Gu Du took a moment of rest and asked, "How many days have I slept?"
Yun Jincai replied: "It's been three days."
Gu Du hugged Yun Jincai's shoulder and said, "Help me walk around, I feel that it's too heavy."
After blew the wind outside the door, Gu Du felt much more refreshed and asked, "What's the movement of the enemy?"
Yun Jincai replied: "There is no movement. We attacked the city. The enemy fled without fighting. Jing Xuezhai came to find him. Senior Brother Di and his men took Chu Qin and sent him to Juelingmen to settle."
Gu Du was stunned and asked in surprise after a moment of surprise: "The enemy has lost the commander?"
"Yeah." Yun Jincai smiled and nodded in agreement.
Gu Du pondered for a while and said, "Go and tell Senior Brother Di, I will deal with He Yingruo at noon tomorrow, and the generals above the lieutenant came to the school to watch the execution."
The next day, He Yingruo was tied up to the school ground, with his head held high and his chest held high, looking generous and righteous.
Gu Du said, "He Yingruo, said in front of all the generals of the army, why did you assassinate me?"
He Yingruo said loudly: "If you kill my whole family, I have an irreconcilable hatred with you!"
Gu Du asked, "Why do I want to kill your whole family?"
He Yingruo yelled: "Stop talking nonsense! If you want to kill, kill, what are you talking about?"
Gu Du asked, "Does anyone know why I wanted to kill He Yingruo's whole family?"
Deputy General Cao Xiaolin said: "He Xuzhuo, the head of the Ministry of Education, colluded with the imperial physician Chen Jidao to poison Xia but failed. The general was ordered by the emperor to investigate the matter and asked for the crime according to the law. Thinking of He Xuzhuo's identity as an old minister of the three dynasties, the He family left a bloodline."
Gu Du looked at He Yingruo and asked, "Did you hear it clearly?"
He Yingruo looked at Gu Du in shock, and Gu Du said, "You were still young at that time. I don't know who you have been bewitched over the years. I just ask you, do you know if you know what the consequences would be if you really killed me with this shot?"
He Yingruo lowered his head, and deputy general Zhao Zhen said sternly: "The general is responsible for the national destiny. If the general fails, the battle situation will definitely be defeated. He Yingruo's crimes are treasons!"
The generals shouted in unison: "He Yingruo's sins and treason!"
He Yingruo knelt down and cried and begged, "Master, I have not treason, I have not thought so much about it. Master... Master... I have not treason..."
Gu Du asked, "Which identity did He Yingruo join the army?"
A captain clasped his fists and replied, "Gu Ruo."
Gu Du said loudly: "Gu Ruo was bewitched by the slightest and assassinated by this commander, his crime was the same as treason, and he was killed!"
He Yingruo kowtowed and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Cheng Yuelan touched the back of Yun Jincai's hand and looked at Yun Jincai with inquiring eyes.
Yun Jincai whispered: "If the elders of the three dynasties of the He family are finally charged with treason and surrender to the enemy because of He Yingruo, He Yingruo will be ashamed of his ancestors."
Cheng Yuelan muttered: "Son-in-law has no extra kindness."
Yun Jincai whispered: "What do you know? My son-in-law is not giving face to the He family, but giving face to the emperor. The descendants of the elders of the three dynasties treason and surrender to the enemy. Who is the emperor against the world?"
After beheading He Yingruo, Gu Du did not advance quickly, but ordered the 250,000 army of Zhenbei Pass to disarm and serve as farmers. Gu Du originally thought that after he raised 300,000 troops, Lingguo would definitely fight to the end. He never thought that the soldiers of Lingguo had no intention of fighting. Even Jing Xuezhai avoided fighting and even handed over Chu Qin.
In this way, the Ling Kingdom has a weak power, and the Ling Emperor will inevitably rely on the troops of Xiong Renguo. Even if the Ling Emperor did not want to collude with foreign tribes, the current situation is so the Ling Emperor has no choice.
The Xiongren Kingdom has warships, and the sea area is vast and difficult to stop. Moreover, even if it is blocked, the Zeguo's warships cannot withstand the Xiongren Kingdom's artillery.
If Gu Du is rushing forward, the Xiong Renguo will take a detour and attack back. If the food route is broken, the 300,000 army will be in trouble. Therefore, it is better to take steady steps and take action step by step.
The military newspaper was sent back to the Lingguo Palace, and the Linghuang's hand holding the military newspaper was trembling slightly.
The city of Lingyi County was broken overnight, Chu Qin was captured, and the 180,000 troops fled without fighting! The ripples that the stone dropped back then are now enough to overturn the boat.
Gu Du, one person will prosper the country, and one person will destroy the country. Why is God's will like this?
The Spirit Emperor said in a dark voice: "Old Zhong, Chu Qin has been captured, and her life and death are unknown."
Zhong Chenghou said: "I dare to ask the emperor, how are our army's casualties?"
The Spirit Emperor replied: "The 180,000 army fled without fighting, and only lost 20,000 people who defended the city."
Zhong Chenghou sighed and didn't say anything else.
The Spirit Emperor asked, "Where did Chu Qin's two wives go?"
Zhong Chenghou replied: "Caomins placed them in a safe place."
The Spirit Emperor asked: "Where will be safer than the palace?"
Zhong Chenghou said without saying a word, and the Linghuang Emperor said, "Looking at the Linghuang Continent, there is only one place safer than my palace, that is, Danyuan Mountain and Jueling Gate."
Zhong Chenghou lowered his eyes and said, "The Emperor is too worried."
The Spirit Emperor sneered and called out, "Come."
The eunuch came in and replied, "Emperor."
The Spirit Emperor said, "Call the priest Meng Yuan to see him."
"Yes." The eunuch responded.
Zhong Chenghou curled the corners of his mouth, and the Emperor Ling said, "Old Zhong, do you know why I agreed to Chu Qin's recommendation and appointed Meng Yuan as the priest?"
Zhong Chenghou replied: "Meng Yuan and Gu Du were in the same year. Gu Du won by villain tricks. Meng Yuan was never ashamed of this. If one day Meng Yuan led the army, he would fight Gu Du to the end and end until his death."
The Emperor Ling smiled and nodded, saying, "I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. Mr. Zhong, will Jing Xuezhai still help Meng Yuan?"
Zhong Chenghou replied: "Preserve the land and protect the people, the branch should."
The Emperor Ling smiled and said, "It's so good. I won't pursue Chu Qin's affairs, but after Meng Yuan took over, I hope Jing Xuezhai will not slackewer any longer."
Zhong Chenghou replied: "Thank you, the emperor, please rest assured. Jing Xuezhai decided to help the priests with all their strength."
Soon, Meng Yuan came in and saluted and said, "Greetings to the Emperor."
The Spirit Emperor said, "Come near, let's take a look at the military newspaper first."
