Looking at the bright red seal on the warrant, Gu Shouting took a deep breath, nodded to Wang Xuecheng and said:
"Director Wang, I understand the commander's order. However, the matter is serious and the matter is too hasty. Do you think you can let me explain something before I return to Yi Jing to report on my duties... ··············”
After listening to Gu Shouting's words, Wang Xuecheng said calmly:
"You have seen the commander-in-chief's order. If the commander-in-chief calls you, you can return to Yijing to report on your duties!"
Gu Shouting frowned when he heard this and asked again:
"Does Commander He know about this?"
Faced with Gu Shouting's question, Wang Xuecheng didn't say anything. He just looked at Gu Shouting and the two concubines in the room, and then left the room directly.
Seeing Wang Xuecheng's leaving figure, Gu Shouting's expression immediately became uncertain. Ye Mingsheng's order was completely unexpected. He had never thought that such a situation would happen. This order completely disrupted him. All his plans!
But that's not the most important thing. The most urgent thing for Gu Shouting now is to know what Ye Mingsheng wants him to do when he is so eager to let him return to Yi Jing to report on his work!
】
Are you going to send him to the battlefield?
Or is it that his affairs in Yujing came to light?
Thinking of the former, there was some expectation in Gu Shouting's eyes. This was his original wish, but in his opinion, Ye Mingsheng didn't trust him at all, so he kept him behind for retirement. Now the position of the senior general on the battlefield in Yunbin is also They are all a carrot and a pit, and there is no suitable position for him.
Therefore, the possibility of transferring him to the clouds and joining the front line is very small...
And if he was not transferred to the front line, was he so anxious to return to Yijing to report on his duties because someone reported his behavior in Yujing?
Thinking of this, Gu Shouting couldn't help but frown, because he knew that Ye Mingsheng had been vigorously fighting corruption, so he was very careful. He never collected money directly from black hands, but used multiple white-glove cashiers, and then let They handed the money to Zhang Hu, and finally he collected the money from Zhang Hu.
In addition to being very careful about using white gloves to collect cash, Gu Shouting also let white gloves come forward to corrupt some military officers of the Sixth Division and the First Army. He even attracted people from the Inspection Division and the Coordination Office, making these people become of his accomplices.
Because of this, in the past period of time, no one has discovered the clues and wanted to report it, but those reporting letters eventually disappeared, and those reporting persons also disappeared from the world!
Under these various measures, Gu Shouting's illegal behavior has never been discovered. Even the previous internal inspection of the Fengwu Army allowed him to escape without being discovered!
Logically speaking, the internal inspection has just ended and the rumor has passed. He should be safe now, right?
After thinking carefully for a while, Gu Shouting still couldn't figure out the reason, and he still couldn't figure out Ye Mingsheng's thoughts...
After thinking for a long time, Gu Shouting sighed. He first asked the two concubines in the room to leave, and then asked his servants to call in his confidant butler Gu Liu.
Although I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse to return to Yi Jing this time, the problem is that now Ye Mingsheng has given him an order to return to Beijing to report on his duties. Ye Mingsheng, the commander-in-chief of the Fengwu Army, is equivalent to the commander of the Fengwu Army. The emperor, if he doesn't go back now, he will be disobeying and disrespecting the emperor, and he will definitely die by then!
So whether he wants it or not, he must return to Yi Jing now, and he still has to return to Yi Jing now according to Ye Mingsheng's request.
But before returning to Yi Jing, he must explain something. Under Gu Shouting's order, Gu Liu quickly came to him and bowed and asked:
"Master, are you looking for me?"
After hearing this, Gu Shouting ordered:
"I will return to Yi Jing later to report on my work. Please convey some words to Zhang Hu for me!"
"Tell him to suspend all actions and not to touch Lu Ce for the time being. However, if he acts according to the opportunity, we may be in trouble this time. Also, ask him to report this matter to Commander He!"
Gu Liu nodded and said:
"Sir, I know everything. I will tell General Zhang Hu as soon as possible!"
After hearing Gu Liu's reply, Gu Shouting felt relieved.
After burning a stick of incense, Gu Shouting, who was neatly dressed, led dozens of guards out of the mansion and headed towards the north city gate. With his eyes hiding in a hidden place, he immediately returned to report after seeing this scene... ·····················
Soon the Coordination Office was handling matters at the Yujing office. Wang Xuecheng learned about Gu Shouting's return to Yijing. He looked at Sun Wang Xuecheng who had not yet come down the mountain and nodded.
This Gu Shouting was indeed a military general with a literary background, and he had a very good sense of politics. He set off in less than an hour after receiving the order.
If he takes more than an hour, he may have to start doing things!
When the Marshal asked him to come to Yujing on business, he not only gave himself a warrant, but also gave him a secret order!
The content of this secret order is very simple. If Gu Shouting doesn't leave within an hour, there is no need to return to Yijing!
···························
···························
Just as Gu Shouting returned to Yijing in a hurry, Liu Yunzheng and Gu Dejiang were sitting opposite each other in a hidden house in Yijing.
Looking at Gu Dejiang in front of him, Liu Yun said in a deep voice:
"Fifth Master, my two dogs should be in your hands now, right? You were the one who sent someone to check my study, right?"
When Gu Dejiang heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but after hesitating for a while, he did not hide it and said:
"Since you already know this, Old Liu, then I'm simply dissatisfied with you. Yes, it was all done by me!"
Listening to Gu Dejiang's affirmative answer, Liu Yun couldn't help but feel his heart sink. After a moment of silence, he said:
"Fifth Master, has the matter reached this point?"
Gu Dejiang also sighed helplessly and said:
"The gangsters in the Coordination Office are really pervasive. They really found some clues. They may have found out part of the situation now!"
At this point, Gu Dejiang changed his tone and persuaded Liu Yun earnestly:
"Old Liu, you are thirty-seven this year. Under the care of our Gu family these years, you have lived a life of a fairy. I am afraid you have lost count of how much money you have made and how many women you have slept with. ?”
"According to me, you have lived enough in this life!
"Now the unified management office is biting so hard. Those small fish and shrimps can't satisfy them. They must bite a big fish... ·····”
At this point, Gu Dejiang observed Liu Yun's expression. Under his gaze, Liu Yun lowered his head and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing this, Gu Dejiang continued to persuade:
"Old Liu, I know you are unwilling in your heart, and I am particularly reluctant to let you go. We have been friends for more than ten years. I also try my best to fight for you at home, say good things to you, and try to see if I can save your life! "
"But the current situation is like this. Our Gu family is also unable to protect ourselves when crossing the river. The Coordination Office may find us at some point!"
Seeing that he had reached this point, Liu Yun still lowered his head and said nothing. Gu Dejiang was also a little angry and said:
"Lao Liu, as long as you make sacrifices now and help everyone get through this difficult time, I guarantee that your family will be safe and sound, your two sons can go home now, and your family's business will be inherited by them in the future!"
After listening to Gu Dejiang's words, Liu Yun slowly raised his head, a sneer appeared on his face and said:
"Fifth Master, if I don't recognize this sacrifice, what are your Gu family's plans?"
Facing Liu Yun's rhetorical question, Gu Dejiang's expression also turned cold and he said in a deep voice:
"You and I have been friends for more than ten years. You can't be toasted or punished with alcohol..."
Feeling the threat in Gu Dejiang's words, Liu Yun snorted disdainfully, and then said loudly:
"For someone named Gu, at this point, why should he not be punished by drinking alcohol?"
"You might as well call out these people you are looking for. If I, Liu Yun, dare to come today, I won't be afraid of you attacking me!"
"Gu Dejiang, you know how much money I have made for you by working as an ox and a horse for your Gu family over the years!"
"Now that we are in trouble, Gu Dejiang, are you going to abandon your car and save the commander, throw me out, and let me be the scapegoat?"
Facing Liu Yun's outburst, Gu Dejiang's face was livid with anger and he couldn't say a word. At this time, Liu Yun also mocked:
"Gu Dejiang, what you said just now is right. Your Gu family is now like a clay Buddha crossing the river and cannot protect itself. At this point, you still want to draw a picture and deceive me?"
"If I really listen to your nonsense and become the scapegoat, your Gu family will not be able to protect you at all. The result of my family's good deeds is to be exiled to Liaoyang and still keep our current business. Gu Dejiang, you go ahead and lie to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Dejiang couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up the teacup in his hand and threw it on the ground. The next second, five menacing killers with sharp blades rushed into the house... ·············
Liu Yun, who had expected this situation for a long time, was not afraid at all. He looked around at the five killers with a smile on their faces, looked at Gu Dejiang and said confidently:
"I won't go back within an hour. The account books and evidence of your Gu family over the years will be delivered to the door of the Coordination Office tomorrow morning!"
Although he wanted to cut Liu Yun into pieces now, Gu Dejiang knew that once the things in Liu Yun's hands fell into the hands of the Coordination Office, everything would be over!
Taking a deep breath, Gu Dejiang suppressed the anger in his heart and waved to the five killers beside him. The killers immediately retreated after receiving the order.
Gu Dejiang looked at Liu Yun and asked in a deep voice:
"What do you want to do?"
Liu Yun, who had already shown off his cards, no longer had any scruples at this time, and faced Gu Dejiang's eyes and stated his purpose.
"Return your two sons to me, and I will disappear naturally. As long as my safety is guaranteed, I will let someone give you the account books, and I will burn all the dirty information about your Gu family. We will never be together again in this life." See!"
Gu Dejiang fell into silence after listening to the conditions offered by Liu Yun. His original plan was to let Liu Yun be the scapegoat and shoulder all the blame. But if Liu Yun ran away, then this most critical matter would be gone. scapegoat.
But the most critical issue now is that the account books and black materials in Liu Yun's hands are the lifeblood of their Gu family!
While Gu Dejiang was thinking about it, Liu Yun sat back on his chair and drank tea leisurely. He knew that Gu Dejiang would definitely agree to his conditions, and he had no room for maneuver!

·······························
Yunbin, outside Jinyang City, Fengwu Army Camp
Looking at the majestic city in front of him, which was about two and a half feet high and stretched for more than ten miles, Yuan Song felt hot in his heart.
As the commander-in-chief of the Fengwu Army, he knew that as long as he captured this city, the fall of the Luoan court would only be a matter of time!
As long as the biggest rival, the Luo'an court, is eliminated, even if there are still Xu Zhaojie, Sun Chenggong, Lu Jianchao and others in the world, the world is destined to be a Fengwu army!
In as long as five years or as short as five years, the Fengwu Army can wipe out the southern princes and achieve true unification!
I think when that time comes, it will be the time for the commander-in-chief to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!
With his own merits, it shouldn't be a problem to be granted the title of Duke by then. Thinking of this, Yuan Song's heart was filled with enthusiasm.
When he followed Ye Mingsheng to Liaoyang, although Ye Mingsheng promised them that he would lead them to do a great cause, Yuan Song really never thought that one day he might become the Duke of the country!
Although his heart was burning, a gust of west wind brought Yuan Song back to reality. At this time, General Zheng Chuang came to him and asked:
"The morale of the soldiers of the Second Army and the Third Army is very high, and they have all requested a battle to attack Jinyang. Sir, do you think you will allow our brothers to attack?"
Yuan Song shook his head and said:
"I observed the enemy's situation. Wang Muzhi's arrangement is very organized. We can't gain much advantage! Yang Chongqing will kill him soon. We don't have much time to attack the city. Failure to attack the city blindly will affect the morale of the army! "
Hearing this, Zheng Chuang said unwillingly:
"In the previous battles, Wang Muzhi defeated all the veterans of Yun Bing's army. Now most of the defenders are new soldiers. It might be possible for the soldiers to charge... ···············”
As soon as he said this, Yuan Song glanced at him and said:
"Did Zhao Wenbin speak?"
Seeing Yuan Song mention Zhao Wenbin, Zheng Chuang lowered his head in shame and said:
"This guy named Zhao is indeed very hard-boned. I tried every means on him to stop him from opening his mouth. Please punish me!"
