When Qu Gao gradually regained consciousness, the first thing he felt was the pain at the back of his neck. In his confusion, he still remembered that there was a strong wind in the prefect's mansion, and then he felt pain in his neck, and his mind went blank.
Opening his eyes, he saw an extremely luxuriously decorated house in front of him, and the surrounding environment was vaguely impressive. He sat up slowly, looked around, and saw a very familiar black figure standing in the wind on the pavilion railing, almost
Without realizing it, Qu Gao shouted: "Prince's head?"
The black shadow turned around, with anger still on his cold and handsome face, he suddenly came over, grabbed Qu Gao's throat, gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "You have ruined my important affairs, I wish I could kill you!"
"
Qu Gao was strangled in his throat, but the force was not strong. Seeing Wang Shou's furious expression, he immediately understood that it was Wang Shou who wanted to kill Li He, and that the female assassin was with him. That's right, in addition to the Wang family, there were also
Who could train such an elite assassin?
He took a breath and said, "Why didn't you say anything just now? Now that I'm conscious, it hurts me so much." Wang Shou was stunned, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of the knife marks on the side of his face where the blood was still wet, and his sleeves were covered with blood.
Fu, turned his back, and said angrily: "You are really loyal and loyal, but you want to kill your relatives for the sake of justice, but you still want to save Li He at the risk of your life?" Qu Gao suddenly shuddered and asked in surprise: "How is General Li?"
Wang Shou snorted and said, "I have already killed him."
"Hahaha."
The king's head said angrily: "Why are you laughing!" Qu Gao stopped laughing, his eyes were still full of smiles, he looked at the king's eyes spitting fire, lowered his head and said softly: "My smile is known as the Jade Face.
Wang Lang would also be disobedient and learned to trick others. If Li He was really dead, why would Wang Lang be so upset?"
Hearing this, the king's head also felt that he had lost his scholarly demeanor. He calmed down, suppressed the anger in his heart, put on a shallow smile, and said: "If you hadn't helped me get rid of Zhang You, you would have ruined me this time."
I won't let you go if it's a big deal."
Qu Gao secretly said: I killed Zhang You for the sake of Xiangyang, what does it have to do with you. But, the king is behind, why do I want to kill Li He? Li He is a martial artist, and he is not a threat to the king.
.unless……
Once Zhang You died, Li He was the only person in Xiangyang who could mobilize 20,000 garrison troops. The reason why the king wanted to get rid of him so eagerly must be for the military power in his hands.
With the status of the Wang family, it is impossible to intervene in military affairs, let alone when Xiangyang has no owner. But Qu Gao didn't think so. He stared straight at the king's head and said in a clear voice: "Wang Lang.
Do you think that by getting rid of Li He, you can seize the garrison power of Xiangyang?" The king's head faced him: "You don't think so?"
Qu Gao said: "For the Wang family, controlling military affairs may be just a matter of order, but for the soldiers, they will only sacrifice their lives for those who know them well. Wang Lang has neither trained nor taught them, nor has he experienced anything with the soldiers.
After life and death, why do you think that just a piece of command talisman can order the soldiers?"
Wang Shou smiled after hearing this, this time it was a real smile, but to Qu Gao's ears, it sounded like a sarcasm to what he just said. Facing Qu Gao's displeased expression, Wang Shou pursed his lips and whispered: "First of all, what are they doing?
Why am I working so hard? Do you think that I am going to use all the troops from the four cities to fight against Shi Hu in Xiangyang?" Qu Gao asked doubtfully, "Isn't that the case?" The king's smile grew louder, he lowered his head and said softly:
"If I tell you that I haven't moved any troops in Yidu, Nanjun, and Jiangxia, will you get angry again?"
"The world belongs to your Wang family and Sima family. I'm just a little pawn, so what's the point of getting angry? I've tried my best to help Xiangyang. As for your plan, I know it's useless." Qu Gao said nonchalantly. As he said that, he was still frightened when he recalled the assassination of Zhang You, but he didn't feel afraid at the time, and he didn't feel afraid when he faced off against the woman. Suddenly he thought of the strangeness of the strong wind, and said to the king again: "Wang Lang can learn from Kong Ming." Make the wind?" Wang Shou replied: "Shou Shou was once a disciple of Immortal Ge Hong, and he was proficient in some strange Taoist arts."
After chatting for a while, Wang Shou went back to his room to rest. Qu Gao learned that the baby was well and Wang Shou found a wet nurse for him, and he was relieved. Having just experienced a battle, Qu Gao also felt tired. Having done that, he felt relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Qu Gao woke up, the sun had already risen above his head. After the maidservant washed up, she led Qu Gao through the corridor and came to a hall. The king was seated, eating a meal, and saw Qu Gao arrive. Signaling Qu Gao to take a seat, the maid served another meal, arranged it a few times, and then left Ying Ying.
"What are the movements of the barbarians?" Qu Gao asked after taking a sip of hot soup.
"You don't say anything when you eat, and you don't say anything when you sleep." The king replied without raising his head: "There are two pieces of news about you, one is good and the other is bad, which one should you hear first?" Qu Gao guessed that it was related to the prefect's mansion, and he committed suicide. He must have been wanted by Li He for arresting Zhang You. He didn't care about these things. He continued to eat and replied: "You are not allowed to speak."
Wang Shoudao: "These two pieces of information are more important than etiquette." Qu Gao was startled and replied: "Let's talk about it first."
"Ms. Zhang gave birth to a girl."
Qu Gao smiled and said, "Girls are good. No matter what the situation in the world is, girls are always more stable than boys." Then he asked, "Where's the bad news?"
The king paused and said calmly: "The strange woman next to Qu Lang is probably dying."
"Ayan!" Qu Gao screamed out unconsciously as if his chest was hit by a boulder. He swallowed his dry throat and asked hoarsely, "How is she?" Wang Shou shook his head and said: " I have sent the best doctor in the house to diagnose and treat her, but there is nothing I can do to save her."
