Gu Jiantang suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. Even if he was blocked by the Nanhua Sword, he was still injured.
Gu Jiantang, who was still immersed in panic, wanted to raise his knife to fight back, but he didn't realize that the man in black had appeared behind him. He was kicked hard again and was kicked away again. This time, he was obviously deeply hurt.
Seriously injured.
When he staggered and tried to get up, the man in black appeared in front of him again. A sword was placed directly on his neck.
At this moment, Gu Jiantang felt that his worldview had been overturned. He had been practicing martial arts for many years and had always been the number one martial artist in the Liyang Army. He had rarely suffered a defeat in his life. Now, he was killed instantly by an unknown person.
He couldn't even use the Fang Cun Lei he was so proud of.
Gu Jiantang covered his chest and coughed, and said:
"You...you are Zhao Kai!! Impossible, aren't you here??~~~!!"
At this time, the man in black finally took off his mask, revealing a young and handsome face. Who else could it be if he wasn't Zhao Kai?
Zhao Kai said lightly:
"What? The general thought I was out having fun and drinking? The general really cares about me, but I heard clearly what the general said in the house earlier."
The next moment, Zhao Kai's tone turned cold and he said:
"Gu Jiantang, can I now consider that your previous behavior was against me?"
Zhao Kai's tone was cold and full of murderous intent. Gu Jiantang had no doubt that if he said the wrong thing, he would immediately become a dead soul under the sword.
Fear instantly spread throughout the city. After leading the army for many years, death has never been closer than it is today. He said:
"His Royal Highness King Yu, I am the general of Liyang's Shangzhu Kingdom, and the Minister of the Ministry of War. I have made great contributions to Liyang and shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the border between Liao and Liao. You cannot kill me! Once I die, Beimang will
Will definitely take advantage of it!
If Beimang's millions of troops invade from the south, the Liyang Dynasty will be destroyed in an instant."
Hearing the pleading in Gu Jiantang's tone, Zhao Kai said lightly:
"It doesn't matter. After you die, I will just find someone to be a general. Chen Zhibao from Beiliang is good, or I can find another obedient one from among your men. At worst, I will go to Beiliang to kill Dong Zhuo or Murong Baoding."
Just kill me. It doesn't hurt if you die alone.
What's more, if Beimang invades from the south, it may be the dream of King Beiliang, and he won't sit idly by like you."
Zhao Kai said again:
"Gu Jiantang, although I didn't kill you openly, I defeated you one-on-one. If you were really a general who fulfilled his duties, I, Zhao Kai, would not have used such methods."
Gu Jiantang was still a bit arrogant at this time and said:
"I, Gu Jiantang, am also one of the famous generals with the same name as Xu Xiao. I also destroyed two countries for Li Yang. In the past twenty years, I have been working hard to save my life for Li Yang. Even if I have no credit, I still have hard work. Even if you kill me
You and I are equally uneasy!"
Gu Jiantang was also betting at this time, betting on Zhao Kai's character, betting that Zhao Kai would not bother to do such a despicable thing.
Zhao Kai chuckled lightly when he heard this and said
"Work diligently? General Gu, if people don't tell secrets, you don't think that you and Cao Changqing's plan can be hidden from everyone, right? You want Xi Chu to be the emperor for a few years first, and then pass it on to you, the children of the Gu family.
?Let me think about it, ten years? Fifteen years?"
At this time, Gu Jiantang felt as if he had been completely seen through by this young man. A feeling of frustration suddenly surged into his heart. He accepted it after being defeated, but the biggest secret he had buried for twenty years was actually seen through.
"How is it possible, you?!~~~~"
Zhao Kai smiled and said:
"I can guess that it's not because of you, but because I know Cao Changqing too well. How could he, who is said to be invincible and invincible, return to the country so hastily? Naturally, he has other plans, and I'm afraid there are also several vassal kings.
Are you also involved in this? You are really not afraid of chaos in the world, and your reputation will be ruined!"
Gu Jiantang still spoke harshly and said:
"The world is in chaos? Isn't Li Yang's plan these years just to sit back and watch the world in chaos?
In this Tai'an City, you are the only one who can kill me quietly. You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it for the rest of your life."
Zhao Kai said coldly:
"It doesn't matter. If you die, both Liao and Liao will be in disarray. At worst, we will just find a new commander. Gu Jiantang, you said that in Liyang, if you die, who can control the two Liao border armies in the shortest time?"
Gu Jiantang didn't know who Zhao Kai was talking about at this time, so he said in shock:
"Are you crazy?! Do you really dare to let Xu Xiao command most of Liyang's troops? How can things in this world be such a trivial matter? Even if you want to, no one will agree."
Zhao Kai smiled and said:
“When the world is in chaos, someone has to clean up the mess, and no one is more suitable than him.
In this way, at least less people will die in the world. With Xu Xiao's ability, an army of 650,000, plus Liyang's water transport, should be enough for him to pacify Beimang. As for whether Xu Xiao will become emperor, Gu Jiantang, I dare to bet, but
Do you dare? If I lose, the world will return to Beiliang at most, and I will fly to the fairy world, but you will not be able to see it no matter what!"
Gu Jiantang, who had been crushed by his strength and IQ, had no intention of making excuses at this time. This was simply an unfair bet. He said a little lonely:
"You are right. I had a conspiracy with Cao Changqing, but I, Gu Jiantang, have a clear conscience. Over the years, I have worked hard for the Liyang royal family, but how does the royal family treat us loyal ministers~~~~"
The more Gu Jiantang talked, the more excited he became. He told all the grievances he had suffered in the court over the years, and finally became hysterical. It was obvious that he was also completely disappointed with the court.
After finishing speaking, Gu Jiantang closed his eyes tightly and said with an expression as if he was willing to die generously:
"In today's martial arts competition, I, Gu, am not as good as others. Although I die without regrets, even if I die, I will still be the loyal general! The world will only praise me! If the Zhao family loses their country because of you, you will have no regrets.
Talk to the ancestors."
How could Zhao Kai fail to hear the underlying meaning of Gu Jiantang's words at this time? Although on the surface it means that he died generously, the deeper meaning is that I haven't done these things yet, it's just your guess, you haven't
To kill me if there is evidence is to kill Zhongliang.
Zhao Kai didn't say anything, but just slapped a "sealing" character on Gu Jiantang's body, directly sealing his internal strength. Zhao Kai had experienced the effect of the sealing character, and it was extremely easy to use. If Gu Jiantang was in the full body stage
, Zhao Kai's sealing character may not be able to seal him, but now that Gu Jiantang is seriously injured, it is another matter. Even if he has to forcefully rush away, he will have to wait until the injury is healed before he has a chance.
At this time, Gu Jiantang had no internal strength and was seriously injured and turned into an ordinary person, even worse than an ordinary person. Life and death could only depend on Zhao Kai's thoughts.
After doing all this, Zhao Kaicai said calmly:
"You're right. Although you have rebellious intentions, at least you haven't taken action yet, so I won't kill you. But you and the queen always have to give an explanation for their previous plot against me. I sealed you
If you dare to forcefully break the seal within half a year, I will kill you. First, Gu Jiantang, let me ask you, what do you want?"
When Gu Jiantang heard Zhao Kai's words, he seemed to grasp at straws and said:
"You won't kill me?"
Zhao Kai nodded and said:
"I'm asking you, if I were the emperor, what would you want?"
Gu Jiantang was still a little hesitant at this time and did not dare to speak loudly, but asked tentatively:
"Wang with a different surname?"
Good guy, you can't see the situation at all. You dare to shout like this, but it's understandable. He is already a general now. If he gets higher up, he can only be crowned king. Zhao Kai nodded after listening and said
:
"Yes! But you have to rely on military merit in exchange for it. But you also have to know what you should and shouldn't do!"
Just kidding, do you still want to get military honors when I, Zhao Kai, am here?
Gu Jiantang said immediately:
"good!"
With Gu Jiantang's answer, the deal was concluded. This deal was not binding and was based on his strong strength. Zhao Kai did not think that Gu Jiantang would be loyal to him, but Zhao Kai believed that as long as he
If his strength is still there, then he will not dare to be his enemy easily.
Zhao Kai directly grabbed Gu Jiantang and sent him back to the Minister's Mansion at an unknown speed many times faster than before.
Before leaving, Gu Jiantang asked:
"Your strength is obviously the best in the world, why do you still miss the imperial power in this world?"
When Zhao Kai heard this, he just said lightly:
"There are too many injustices in this world. Someone has to stand up and add some weight to this world!"
