Gu Qiang originally had worries in her heart, but since Ali said so, she might as well ask the matter directly. To be honest, if it had been anyone else, if it had really been exposed, Chu Junyou Would such a smart person really deliberately find a loophole to let her leave
"I don't know either, but that day, Chu Junyou did deliberately let me leave. I didn't think clearly at first, but the situation was urgent and there was a gap, so I escaped. I didn't know What is he doing this for? Maybe... he wants to use me to reveal your identity, so that's why he does this?"
Ah Li actually thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out the cause and effect of this matter. However, this matter is really not that difficult to understand. If Chu Junyou really understood it so well, he really shouldn't treat himself like this. He was let go. What's more, Chu Junyou clearly knew that he went to the palace with a purpose that day, but he still let him go so easily. After all, this matter is a bit strange. Is it possible? , does he really intend to let himself go
"I don't think he will let you go so easily, so the possibility of fishing for a big fish may be greater. And he is much smarter than we thought. Obviously he only exposed Lingyin Pavilion. He But I just followed the clues and found Yuhua Tower."
"Yes, if the prince hadn't reminded me that I must stay in Lingyin Pavilion for a while, he might have discovered the relationship between Lingyin Pavilion and Yuhua Tower by now."
A Li was still a little scared when he said this. After all, Yuhua Tower is the property of the prince, and everyone knows it very well. If it is really exposed, he will actually expose the identity of the prince simply.
"No, no, no, he has actually discovered it a long time ago. He just followed the clues and thought about it. Yuhua Tower used to be the prince's property. I'm afraid there are not many people in the whole capital who don't know this. As for Gusu Liang, My brother had a good relationship with Ah Liang. Before the prince went on an expedition, his brother went with him. Judging from the prince's cautious attitude, the capital would definitely leave someone to take care of him, but he did not leave his brother behind. This is why It may mean that the other person the prince left behind in the imperial city was not his brother, but Gusu Liang. After all, many people saw their relationship, and neither the prince nor everyone deliberately concealed it. Pass."
"By the way, Ah Liang, aren't you ready to tell us about your friend now? If you don't explain it properly, we may not have time to respond to many things."
Gu Qiang remembered that Gu Suliang had always mentioned it before, but had never explained that friend in detail. It seemed that this time, this friend who looked similar to Chu Junyou was not from an ordinary origin.
"Oh, I knew I wouldn't be able to hide it for long. Zhui Feng, you go to the door and guard it first. Don't let other people know what we said."
In fact, Chu Tiankuo's affairs can be said to be complicated or simple. In short, Chu Tiankuo is a person who doesn't want to cause trouble.
Chu Tiankuo was a brave and skilled soldier under the late emperor. He was also known as the God of War at the border. He was also a legendary figure. At that time, there was not a single battle he led his troops without returning in triumph. The emperor at that time still held him in high esteem, but no emperor would allow himself to receive more credit than himself.
At that time, the people at the border regarded Chu Tiankuo as the God of War, and this slowly spread to the ears of the emperor. The emperor at that time was Shen Qianshan's elder brother and Shen Zhongbai's father.
"He used the war at the border to give Chu Tiankuo five thousand elite soldiers and asked him to go to the border to resist the Xixia army of 80,000."
"Eighty thousand? How is this possible!" When Gu Qiang heard this, he obviously couldn't believe his ears. Five thousand against eighty thousand soldiers and horses. The emperor must have gone crazy. What about his own country and country? Are you kidding me
"But Chu Tiankuo went anyway. There is a dangerous pass on the border between Bei'an and Xixia. If the ambush is good, it is possible to repel the opponent with five thousand troops, but that has to be noticed by the opponent. When the terrain is dangerous, we dare not go forward.”
"Then Chu Tiankuo is already the God of War, so there shouldn't be any problem in dealing with such a scene, right?"
"Have you ever thought that no matter how brave the general guarding the gate is, he is still one person after all, and it is impossible to resist the menacing soldiers on the other side. Have you ever thought about using five thousand soldiers and horses to fight against the other side? Tens of thousands of troops? I have brought five thousand troops to the border of Southern Qi before. As for why I was able to return safely, it was just because the troops brought by Su Jingxian were originally here to do me a favor and caused trouble at the border. War-torn.”
When Shen Qianshan came out, he happened to hear what they said. After listening for a while, he expressed his opinion.
Shen Qianshan had also heard about this matter. After all, he and Chu Tiankuo were not much different in age. At that time, he had already led troops to fight. I just never thought that this friend of Gu Suliang was Chu Tiankuo, the God of War at that time.
"Your Majesty is right, Qian'er, you don't know how powerful Xixia's troops are, and they live on the border all year round. They are all good soldiers. How can we have five thousand soldiers and horses in front of them? What about presumption?”
"But I remember that there was a truce agreement at the border between Bei'an and Xixia many years ago? And later on, didn't people from Bei'an also go to Xixia?"
"Do you know the origin of Chu Tiankuo?"
Gusu Liang also found out about what happened to Chu Tiankuo with great difficulty. However, during the investigation, it was difficult for him to guarantee that Chu Tiankuo's identity was not exposed. Gusu Liang knew very well. The day Chu Tiankuo's true identity was revealed, it showed that his identity could no longer be concealed no matter what.
Chu Tiankuo was pruning flowers and plants in the garden, but his ears were sensitive. He heard the sound of weapons clashing on the wall next to him. He turned his head slightly and saw a row of soldiers standing on the wall of his house, all holding weapons in their hands. The bows and arrows seemed to be coming with great force.
Chu Tiankuo had made such preparations long ago. He had such a house in Mingchu, just to prepare for such a thing to happen one day. Tianji Pavilion had no connection with this place, and he only visited it occasionally. , would come to this place to stay. It seems that Chu Junyou knows his habits very well and knows when he will be here.
"Are you Chu Tiankuo, Mr. Chu?"
Chu Tiankuo looked back at the person who opened the door and came in. The man looked like a military general. Judging from his appearance, he should have been stationed on the border and had some vicissitudes of life. Moreover, this face looked very familiar to him. There was a long sword hanging between his legs, and he looked very heroic from the looks of him. He seemed to be a former colleague of his.
He calmed down a little, turned his head and walked towards the person.
"It's me, you should be... General Pei Jie, the imperial guard of Kyoto?"
Chu Tiankuo was in charge of Tianji Pavilion, so naturally he would not know such a trivial matter. Moreover, when Gusu Liang was investigating these things about himself, he already knew it, but he did not expect that he would be arrested this time. His own person turned out to be Pei Jie.
"It's strange. Originally, you were supposed to be in charge of the Imperial Guard. Why are you now like this, subordinate to the Imperial Guard? You know, your previous position was on par with that of the Imperial Guard. I don't think so. I believe you will be willing to work under him."
"Do you know me?" Pei Jie obviously had no impression of the person in front of him.
"Of course we know each other. When we fought with Xixia before, you and I were colleagues. Although the two of us were not well established, we were once stationed in Leping County together. I wonder what General Pei is here for today? I am no longer a border guard. Soldiers, you have nothing to do here, raising flowers and vegetables, could it be possible that you have violated some national law?"
"It's not against the national law. However, General Chu was once brave and good at fighting. Now he is reduced to planting vegetables and flowers in the countryside. Don't you feel sorry for yourself?"
"What's wrong with me? I'm tired of fighting and killing people in the field. Now I'm back in the countryside. Is it possible that General Pei also has any opinions on this?"
"I don't dare to have any opinions, but there is one thing I have to remind General Chu. When we were on the battlefield, I, Bei'an, reached a truce agreement with Xixia. Do you still remember it?"
"Of course I remember this, if it weren't for that agreement. I'm afraid the war would have lasted for a long time."
"Yes, I wonder if General Chu knows what is written in the war agreement?"
"I don't know about that. After all, I wasn't the one who signed the agreement at the time. Didn't Prime Minister Gu tamper with the contents of the agreement privately for the sake of the overall situation? Since he modified it, you can go to him. According to the As far as I know, even if his home has been ransacked, he is still alive, so General Pei won’t be able to find him."
"Gu Linjiang has already been a criminal for a long time, and since you know that he was exiled, how could you not know that he has gone crazy?"
"Since Prime Minister Gu has gone crazy and this matter has nothing to do with the common people, I wonder why General Pei would mention this matter in this place?"
"When you guarded the fortress, I later visited that pass. If you guarded it well, that place would be easy to defend but difficult to attack. It would never be possible to attack within four or five days."
