Volume 7: Ma Mingfeng Xiaoxiao, The Boy Raises His Sword Chapter 238 Crying Blood
As soon as Guo Baiyi finished saying this, he coughed violently.
His entire face looked much worse, his chest was rising and falling, and he seemed to be insisting on himself.
Xiao Yuanche saw this and felt pain in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and bring a chair for the wine sacrifice!"
Unexpectedly, Guo Baiyi waved his hand and said stubbornly: "No need! I can't die!"
Guo Baiyi stood like that, panting for a long time, and then his breathing gradually stabilized. He did not speak first, but slowly walked around the camp full of kneeling civil and military personnel, and looked at everyone's face.
.
Everyone looked at him and then continued to lower their heads.
Guo Baiyi walked tremblingly, and then said in a slow and deep voice: "Although you are all kneeling here at this moment, saying that my lord thinks twice, in your hearts, do you really regard the Prime Minister as your lord?"
He asked this calmly, but in everyone's ears, it was an extremely pointed question.
Xia Yuanrang, the leader of the generals, snorted and said: "Guo Jijiu, what do you mean by this? The lord of all of us is the prime minister, is there anyone else who can't?"
Guo Baiyi glanced at Xia Yuanqian, sneered coldly, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "General Xia, since you said so, then Baiyi dared to ask, you, Marquis, General Anton, who gave you the position of head of the military generals.
of?"
Xia Yuanrang cupped his hands towards Xiao Yuanche who was sitting behind the handsome desk with a gloomy face and said: "Of course it was given by the lord!"
Guo Baiyi followed up and asked: "Forgive Baiyi for being blunt, can I understand that the lord you are talking about is Prime Minister Xiao who is sitting behind the handsome case now?"
"That's natural!"
"Okay!" Guo Baiyi nodded calmly.
Then he said to everyone who was kneeling: "So, are your current positions also given to you by the Prime Minister?"
Everyone responded: "This is natural, what is there to say?"
Guo Baiyi sneered and nodded, his eyes like a torch, and he said word by word: "Since your current status, status and power are all given by the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister is the Lord, you are all ministers..."
He paused, his voice suddenly became much louder, and he said loudly: "However, today in the big tent, you are kneeling down silently. It is called dissuasion, but it is actually confrontation. Do you really regard the Prime Minister as the only lord? My lord wants to kill him.
Even if this person is innocent, he can still be killed, not to mention that Xu Jinghu made a big mistake!"
"Just because you kill one person, you are so forced to fight against each other. How much weight does the lord hold in your hearts? Do you still have this lord in your eyes?" Guo Baiyi's voice became more serious, with a hint of rebuke.
When he said these words, everyone present felt their hearts tremble and became speechless.
Xiao Zizhen suddenly said: "Guo Jijiu, you are biased in speaking like this! If Hezhu doesn't advise the lord and allows the lord to kill the general, then he is pretending to be the lord in his heart, otherwise he doesn't have the lord in his heart, right?"
"
After he said this, Chen Shangzhi and others among the kneeling civil servants also immediately spoke: "Guo Jijiu, is it possible that in this camp full of civil and military officials, you are the only one who pretends to be the lord in your heart, and we are the ones who have no lord in mind? Why do you have to be like this?
How about flaunting yourself?”
Guo Baiyi smiled coldly, walked tremblingly in front of Xiao Zizhen, and stared at him for a few times, but Xiao Zizhen did not dare to look at him and slowly lowered his head.
Guo Baiyi walked up to Xiao Zizhen again and looked at him in the same way. He did not dare to look at Guo Baiyi.
Guo Baiyi then slowly said in a deep voice: "Baiyi is not talented. He came out of the mountain at the age of seventeen, so he followed his senior brother's will and helped protect the lord. He went through the wind and rain. He fought against the national thief Wang Xi in Baicheng, captured Duan Bailou and Longtai in Baicheng.
The city exterminated the rebels, welcomed the emperor, and obeyed orders! In this world, wherever the lord goes, he will be accompanied by white clothes.
Now twenty years have passed! In Bai Yi’s heart, he is always thinking about dying for his lord, and he is always thinking about unifying the world and achieving hegemony. If you feel that Bai Yi has any selfish intentions, you can point it out in public! Even if it’s just one thing,
If there is a stake, Bai Yi will kill himself in the big tent immediately, is there any?"
Guo Baiyi asked loudly three times, but no one dared to answer.
Guo Baiyi coughed a few more times, took a breath and said again: "But, Baiyi is just offering wine now, but General Zizhen and you, Chen Shangzhi, who has followed the lord longer than me? However, one
They are Yue Cavalry Colonel, who hold important positions as military generals, and one is the Chief Clerk of the Prime Minister's Office, ranking in the fourth rank. Isn't the grace given by the lord enough? But today you can't afford to kneel down, and you are so aggressive. Really?
Do you take the lord into your heart?"
"you......"
Xiao Zizhen and Chen Shangzhi were speechless and could only lower their heads, feeling angry for a moment.
Xia Yuanrang felt that he could not let Guo Baiyi talk any more, otherwise Xu Jinghu would not be able to protect himself. If Xu Jinghu was persuaded, the details of this detailed matter would be too big to be involved.
Thinking of this, Xia Yuanrang suddenly said sharply: "Guo Baiyi, are you finished?"
"No!"
Guo Baiyi suddenly replied in a cold voice, staring at Xia Yuanrang with burning eyes, not taking a step back.
Xiao Yuanche's heart was shaking. He could see that Guo Baiyi had been ill for a long time and was weak. However, at the critical moment when civil and military forces were at odds with him, Guo Baiyi did not hesitate and chose to stand in front of him without any hesitation.
That was his sacrificial wine. The young man in Ba City, dressed in white as snow, was suffering from illness that made him unable to straighten his spine, and even when he spoke, his energy and blood were exhausted.
However, his heart towards himself has never changed, it remains the same.
Xiao Yuanche thought of this and said in a deep voice: "Bai Yi, keep talking! I want to hear it again!..."
Guo Baiyi slowly bowed to Guo Baiyi, his voice was not loud, but he seemed to have used up all his strength to say: "Everyone, Xu Jinghu is a leader of the Central Army, and a general of the Central Army, but first of all, he is the Lord's minister.
, what he did today far exceeded the duties of a minister! Don’t you know this in your heart? "
"With this alone, the lord can punish him with death! But if there is a person who pretends to be the lord in his heart and someone who maintains the authority of the lord, how can things develop to this point?" Guo Baiyi's eyes showed a little sadness and helplessness.
"What's so sad is that among all the civil and military forces in the camp, has one person done this? Apart from confrontation, apart from forcing each other, what else have they done? Why do you do this? Why do you dare to do this? You know it in your heart, I know it in my heart, and my lord also knows it in my heart.
Clearly! Do we have to make these things clear?" Guo Baiyi became more and more excited as he spoke, with an unusual red color appearing on his face.
The faces of Guo Baiyou and Cheng Gongjun next to them changed, and they spoke quickly: "Bai Yi, be careful what you say! Be careful what you say!"
Guo Baiyi slowly turned around, smiled bitterly at them and said: "I don't want to say more, but if I don't say anything, I will be disrespecting you and I will be disrespecting you! Now is the moment for the decisive battle with Shen Jizhou At that time, some people still have those shameful selfish motives. If we continue to let them run wild, the Lord will be in danger, and so will we!"
After he said this, Guo Baiyou and Cheng Gongjun were also speechless and sighed slowly.
Guo Baiyi stretched out his fingers, tremblingly pointed at Xia Yuanzhen, Xiao Zizhen, Chen Shangzhi and others one by one, and then said sadly: "Humans, once you have selfish motives, it is the most terrifying thing! You keep saying Are you really just out of public interest in admonishing my lord? My lord has passed his destined year, and although his body is a little ailing, he is still in his prime. Are you so eager to stand in line and show your allegiance to the new master?"
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he closed his eyes and sighed, without saying a word, with a heartbroken look on his face.
Xia Yuanrang's heart trembled, and he said loudly and desperately: "Guo Baiyi, what you said makes no sense. What does it mean to be eager to take sides, what does it mean to be a new master? You are just chasing the wind!"
Guo Baiyi smiled coldly, shook his head and said, "Don't you know best whether you are just trying to catch the wind or not?"
Guo Baiyi said one word at a time: "If my lord fails in this expedition and cannot go back, who will inherit the throne? It is said that the monarch and his ministers are one, looking forward to defeating Shen Jizhou, but how many people hope that this battle can... If we win, how many people hope that we will lose this battle!"
"In other words, how many people think that this battle will be won! You and others are all important ministers, but they are also afraid that one day they will break through Bohai City. A sealed letter on the desk of General Shen Jizhou's mansion announced to Let the world go!" Guo Baiyi's expression was stern and his every word was like a knife.
The whole tent was speechless, and the elegant birds were silent.
Guo Baiyi breathed for a while again, and then his expression softened slightly and he said: "As for today's matter, Xu Jinghu is the leader of the Central Army and the commander-in-chief of the Central Army this time. It is impossible that he does not know the military law, but unexpectedly He went on a killing spree, not to mention that everyone knew that a living and captured Xizuo was of far greater significance than a dead person. How could he, Xu Jinghu, not know? But why did he do this? Was he really just a man who killed someone by mistake in a moment of anger? ?”
As he spoke, he slowly walked up to Xu Jinghu and asked word for word: "General Xu, do you dare to look Bai Yi in the face and answer this question? Did you really kill someone by mistake, or did you want to hide the truth behind it?" !”
"I..." Xu Jinghu's expression darkened, and he lowered his head and said nothing.
Guo Baiyi sighed helplessly, and then said: "Actually, each of us knows what the truth is. Xu Jinghu, a military general, said that he did not pay attention to the details and went on a rampage to kill people. It is pure nonsense. Why is he like this? Do? I don’t need to say more about the reasons behind it!”
"General Xu, you are willing to risk your life to protect the person behind this matter. General Xu, who is the lord in your heart?" Guo Baiyi said word by word.
As he spoke, he turned to look at Xiao Yuanche.
Xiao Yuanche also looked at him, and both of them saw the sadness and helplessness in the other's eyes.
Xiao Yuanche suddenly said in a deep voice: "Baiyi... don't say any more..."
Guo Baiyi nodded, as if he was running out of gas and the accumulated strength was exhausted in an instant.
"My lord... I know that my lord is in trouble, and I also know that my lord is helpless..."
"But...brother, I feel sorry for you. I am incompetent and can only watch my brother being forced to this point by so many people, but he still wants to maintain this so-called overall situation..."
...." Guo Baiyi suddenly burst into tears.
He only felt that his breathing was not smooth and his blood was surging.
"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out from his mouth, sprinkling into the air in spots.
Guo Baiyi couldn't hold on any longer, his body softened and he fell forward.
Xiao Yuanche was shocked, and rushed to Guo Baiyi desperately, hugged Guo Baiyi, and shouted: "Baiyi! Brother!..."
But Guo Baiyi's face was pale, his eyes were closed, his breathing was weak, and he had already lost consciousness.
"Su Ling! Su Ling! Save my brother!" Xiao Yuanche screamed uncontrollably.
Everyone in the entire tent was in chaos, and they all crowded towards Guo Baiyi.
Su Ling had a serious look on his face and squeezed in as hard as he could. He first checked Guo Baiyi's nose and breath, and then he felt a little at ease.
It's just that it's a bit inconvenient to have everyone gathered here.
Su Ling suddenly yelled: "What are you doing here? Are you going to die watching the wine ceremony? Get out of the way!"
With that said, he took Guo Baiyi from Xiao Yuanche's arms and shouted: "Get out of the way! -"
Then everyone quickly parted ways.
Su Ling hugged Guo Baiyi tightly, and in an instant the man ran out of the tent and headed towards his tent.
There was only one sentence left: "Prime Minister, don't worry, Su Ling will risk his own life to protect the big brother in white!"
... ... ... ...
Su Ling hugged Guo Baiyi and left.
Xiao Yuanche felt a huge wave of fatigue wash over his body. He suddenly fell heavily on the chair behind the desk and slowly looked at the civil and military forces in the camp.
After a long while, he waved his hand and said with exhaustion and helplessness: "Let's all leave... I don't want to say anything more..."
Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.
The situation in front of us can only be resolved temporarily, and there is no point in continuing the stalemate.
Then everyone bowed their hands and bowed, then slowly retreated.
Everyone retreated.
Among the entire tent, only Xu Jinghu was still kneeling there without getting up.
Xiao Yuanche closed his eyes to calm down his emotions and was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head and found Xu Jinghu who was still kneeling. Then he let out a long sigh, walked slowly towards him, stared at him with burning eyes, and after a while he sighed: "Jinghu, you
When did you follow me..."
When Xu Jinghu heard this, his body trembled, and then he whispered: "General, I have been following my lord for thirteen years."
Xiao Yuanche's eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life and he said: "Thirteen years, so long! Jinghu, do you still recognize me as your lord in your heart?"
Xu Jinghu's body trembled, his head suddenly banged and blood flowed, and he said in a trembling voice: "In Jinghu's heart, the Prime Minister will always be my lord! It will never change!"
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "Then tell me, who is the mastermind behind this detailed work? Can you tell me..."
Xu Jinghu's body froze, his eyes full of struggle, he seemed to have made up his mind for a while, kowtowed a few more times, and then said decisively in a low voice: "Master, I'm sorry Jinghu can't say it!..."
"You!..." Xiao Yuanche raised his hand to hit.
Xu Jinghu straightened his body, closed his eyes, and did not hide or dodge.
Xiao Yuanche's hand that was raised in the air suddenly dropped weakly, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.
"If you want to kneel, go and kneel outside the tent...Don't let me look at you and get upset again..."
"I will obey my orders!..."
Xu Jinghu kowtowed again, stood up suddenly, turned around and walked out of the tent.
When he reached three feet outside the tent, he slowly knelt down again.
Xiao Yuanche's voice came faintly from inside the tent: "When has it been enough to kneel down... Go to the Military Law Cao to get fifty military sticks... I don't want to pursue this matter anymore..."
