After listening to Wang Jingru's words, Gu Shouting showed a wry smile and comforted Wang Jingru and said:

"This will soon pass and everything will be fine!"

After speaking, Gu Shouting stretched and continued to smile and said:

"I happen to be a little tired from reading, let's go back to bed together..."

"Um!"

Wang Jingru knew clearly that she could not change Gu Shouting's mind. All she could do was to be a good wife to Gu Shouting so that he would not be distracted by family matters.

Just when the two people who loved each other were about to go back to the house to sleep, several noises suddenly came from outside the house. Hearing this, Gu Shouting suddenly became vigilant. He subconsciously protected Wang Jingru behind him and asked sternly out of the window:

"who?"

After Gu Shouting's voice fell silent for a few seconds, a deep voice came from the darkness outside the house.

"Don't panic, it's me!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Gu Shouting lowered his guard and whispered to Wang Jingru behind him:

"I have something to do, you go back to the house and go to bed first!"

Although she didn't know what Gu Shouting was planning or who was coming, she felt that the matter must be very important if he came late at night, so Wang Jingru nodded obediently, then turned around and walked towards the bedroom alone...

············

After Wang Jingru walked away, Gu Shouting's door was opened. A man of medium build and ordinary appearance walked in and appeared in Gu Shouting's sight.

Seeing the appearance of this man, Gu Shouting said slightly dissatisfied:

"Shen Gang, didn't I tell you? Don't come to my house!"

Faced with Gu Shouting's dissatisfaction, Shen Gang shook his head and said:

"When emergencies arise, don't worry, I was careful not to disturb anyone along the way!"

Gu Shouting seemed to believe in this application. After hearing what the other party said, the displeasure on his face was somewhat reduced and he asked seriously:

"What happened?"

Shen Gang said with a very serious expression:

"I just got news that the Fengwu Army is going to suppress bandits in Dongning and Guangning!"

Hearing the news, Gu Shouting was a little surprised and asked:

"Suppressing bandits? Isn't it normal for bandits to appear in Liaoyang? Why do you feel so nervous?"

Shen Gang shook his head and explained:

"You don't know much about Liaoyang now, nor do you know Ye Mingsheng. When he first took office, Ye Mingsheng carried out a comprehensive crackdown on the entire Liaoyang, dispatching tens of thousands of troops to suppress bandits. Now the banditry in Liaoyang has already

It has been greatly improved, and tens of thousands of bandits have been captured and eliminated..."

"In Liaoyang now, only Posuo Prefecture may have some sporadic banditry, and Dongning Prefecture and Guangning Prefecture are the two wealthiest prefectures in Liaoyang, and they are also the core areas of Ye Mingsheng's rule in Liaoyang. The bandits in this place have long been

They were all wiped out!"

"Even if some new bandits emerge now, they can only be scattered small groups, but this time the Fengwu Army dispatched thousands of people to suppress the bandits! With the Fengwu Army's consistent style, this is very abnormal

!”

Hearing what Shen Gang said, Gu Shouting's eyes flashed brightly and he realized something and then asked:

"Are you saying that the Fengwu Army is secretly sending troops to Guangning Mansion in the name of suppressing bandits? He wants to surprise Youyan in the first month?"

Under Gu Shouting's gaze, Shen Gang nodded heavily and said:

"Yes, that's what I mean. Ye Mingsheng has been preparing secretly. I believe he has decided to take action now. I have arranged for my colleagues in Liaoyang to go to Dongning to spy on intelligence. If it is as I thought,

This time the Fengwu Army will never have only a few thousand people. They will go out in full force and strive to complete their achievements in one battle..."

After hearing the news, Gu Shouting immediately became serious and paced back and forth in the room. Looking at the solemn-looking Gu Shouting, he asked:

"So when I come here this time, I want to ask how your contact with the Coordination Office is going?"

Hearing this, Gu Shouting stopped and said with a wry smile:

"I have met with people from the Control Office three times this month and the conversations were pretty good. Although they did not reveal their plans to me, they kept hinting to me during the conversation that their entry date should be in March.

Months later!”

"Now it seems that Ye Mingsheng is very bold, and he actually wants to take action in the first month of the year, and they still lack trust in me!"

Although Shen Gang remained calm after receiving Gu Shouting's answer, his eyes still showed a trace of disappointment unconsciously, but he still comforted Gu Shouting:

"Maybe I'm overly worried. You should keep in contact with the Coordination Office as much as possible. Since they have come to find you, they will definitely not do anything useless...

·····”

"The above means that we must try to delay Ye Mingsheng's entry into the pass. Even if Youyan will be captured by Fengwu Army, both Fengwu Army and Yan Army must suffer losses, and let Fengwu Army shed the last drop of blood under Yijing City.

!”

Gu Shouting nodded slightly with a sullen face, indicating that he understood.

Seeing this, Shen Gang continued:

"If there is nothing else, I will leave. What progress has been made in contacting the Coordination Office and them? Be sure to contact me in time!"

"good!"

After receiving Gu Shouting's answer, Shen Gang nodded and bowed his hands to Gu Shouting, then opened the door and left, disappearing into the darkness.

Feeling Shen Gang's disappearance, Gu Shouting sighed slightly, feeling a little confused.

What he said when he met Huo San in Guangning was half truth and half false. He was indeed framed by Zhao Yong with a forged letter of surrender, but the reason why he was sent to prison and tortured by Zhao Fuqu was not just

Because of the integrity of that letter...

Gu Shouting was born in the Gu family and had both civil and military skills. He defeated Luo Bei Khan at a young age. It would not be too much to call him the pride of heaven. At that time, Gu Shouting was also very proud of himself. It was precisely because of this pride that he

He was not willing to live in a corner of Youyan, serving only Zhao Fuqu, a governor with a reckless background. What he wanted was to join the imperial court and create a great cause!

Wang Yong, the brother of his lover Wang Jingru, became one of the channels of communication between him and the imperial court. Although he wanted to join the imperial court, because his family was located in a remote area, for the sake of safety and to increase his own worth, Gu Shouting was working with him at that time.

Contact between the imperial court was very cautious and reserved, and they did not express their willingness to surrender.

Although Gu Shouting was cautious, as Wang Yong became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the relationship between him and Wang Yong was exposed to the sun. This undoubtedly aroused Zhao Fuqu's suspicion. Then the fuse that Zhao Yong forged, but

This completely detonated the suspicion in Zhao Fuqu's heart and arrested Gu Shouting and sent him to prison...

Although Gu Shouting withstood severe torture in prison and was not tortured, he finally escaped from prison with the help of his family and friends. Although he was safe, there was no doubt that his future in Youyan was ruined.

,

Not only that, tens of thousands of his soldiers and horses in the Yan army were taken over by others, but without the soldiers and horses in his hands, Gu Shouting's value to the imperial court was greatly reduced, so their interest in Gu Shouting was naturally greatly reduced.

!

With no future and troops in Youyan, and a cold encounter with the imperial court, Gu Shouting experienced the lowest point in his life during that period. He had never suffered such a blow, and he was also depressed for a period of time. Every day

Indulging in sexual activities, he lived a miserable life. However, as Wang Jingru gave birth to a pair of children, Gu Shouting felt the responsibility again, and the unwilling heart in his chest gradually cheered up. He wanted to take revenge on Zhao Yong and the Zhao family!

After some careful planning, Gu Shouting regained contact with the Supervision Department with the help of his uncle Wang Yong. He still wanted to use the power of the Luo'an court to overthrow the Zhao family...

·······

Although he had regained contact with the Supervision Department, Shangguan Hongyuan, who had gone through the Luo'an Incident at this time, was too damaged to interfere with the Youyan incident. Just when Gu Shouting lamented that God was ruthless, his revenge was far away.

when.

Because Zhao Fuqu was eyeing Yun Bing, Shangguan Hongyuan, in order to avoid being attacked from both sides, hoped that the Supervision Department would do something near Youyan to restrain Zhao Fuqu. This matter finally fell on Gu Shouting. Under the instructions of the Supervision Department

Next, Gu Shouting began to try to contact the Coordination Office to lure Fengwu troops into the pass to contain Zhao Fuqu!

And the Shen Gang who just met him is the person in charge of contacting him from the Supervision Department!

At first, Gu Shouting did not take the Fengwu Army seriously, nor did he take Liaoyang Governor Ye Mingsheng seriously. He only thought that the Fengwu Army, which had only been established for a few years, was just a bunch of rabble, and Ye Mingsheng was a man who fell from the sky.

The lucky guy who got hit by the pie.

However, as he got to know the Fengwu Army more deeply, Gu Shouting began to discover that the Fengwu Army was much stronger than he had imagined. Ye Mingsheng was also an ambitious man. There was no need for him to come forward to seduce him. Ye Mingsheng had been quietly preparing to join the army.

Various matters related to················

To be honest, although he has not met Ye Mingsheng yet, as he has more and more contact with Liaoyang and knows more about Ye Mingsheng, Gu Shouting can feel Ye Mingsheng's talent and strategy, which also makes him hesitate.

I couldn't help but start to think about whether I really wanted to join Liaoyang.

As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to rest, people go to high places, and water flows to low places. Although Gu Shouting is still working for the Luo'an court, in his eyes, the Luo'an court led by Shangguan Hongyuan is no longer what it used to be.

In that imperial court, Shangguan Hongyuan is no longer the chief minister of the Zhou Dynasty who once held the 100,000 elite Imperial Guards in his hands and stomped his feet and trembled three times!

Now Shangguan Hongyuan and the Luo'an court led by him have fallen into a dilemma. Under such circumstances, although Shangguan Hongyuan has the possibility of making a comeback, in Gu Shouting's opinion, this possibility is not very high.

, Under such circumstances, Gu Shouting, who was not very loyal to Shangguan Hongyuan, naturally began to consider his own future!

And now Ye Mingsheng is another way out in front of Gu Shouting...

If Ye Mingsheng only lives in a corner of Liaoyang, then Gu Shouting will not even consider him. But what if Ye Mingsheng successfully enters the customs?

When the time comes, Ye Mingsheng seizes Youyan. Ye Mingsheng, who controls Youyan and Liaoyang provinces, will be the leading prince in the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as he integrates the resources of the two provinces, he can devour Qilu and the Central Plains.
To be continued...
