It was a grievance for those sergeants. They were responsible for the security of the Hou Mansion. Naturally, they could not let people enter the Hou Mansion casually. The previous Guan Ning was just a bad old man who would be blown away when the wind blew. In addition, there were
Gongsun Kang was accompanying him, so they naturally did not dare to stop them. But the followers behind Guan Ning were all tall and powerful, and they looked like tigers and tigers when walking. They were obviously masters of fighting! Such people, they
How dare you put it in casually? Naturally, you wanted to stop them, but you didn't expect that you were doing your duty faithfully and got a scolding in return.
Gongsun Kang had already spoken. How dare these sergeants continue to block him? He hurriedly stepped aside and let Guan Ning's entourage enter the Marquis Mansion. However, Gongsun Kang was not that kind of idiot. He also followed Gongsun Du back then.
When conquering all directions, how could he not be able to see things that several gatekeepers could see? Looking at those followers, Gongsun Kang's eyes lit up and he smiled at Guan Ning: "These followers of Mr.
But it’s very good!”
Not only is it good! Gongsun Kang knew at a glance that these were masters who fought on the battlefield! Everything else could be hidden, but the smell of blood from the battlefield could not be hidden at any cost.
Guan Ning was just a hermit living in Xuantu. He came from a poor family. How could he suddenly have so many masters around him? Obviously Gongsun Kang was very interested in this! But Guan Ning had questions about Gongsun Kang.
He didn't show any panic, but said with a smile: "These are the heroes who were rescued by the old man on the way to Xiangping. I originally saw them fainting from hunger on the roadside, and thought they were just ordinary people fleeing, but I didn't expect them.
They were all followers of Mr. Liu back then. They were favored by the little old man and were willing to follow him to repay his kindness!"
After Guan Ning explained this, Gongsun Kang also suddenly realized that when talking about Liu Shijun in Youzhou, he naturally did not refer to Liu Bei who is now in Xuzhou, but to the former Youzhou governor Liu Yu who died under Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei! Liu Yu
The gentle policy implemented during his tenure as the governor of Youzhou not only made the Xianbei people support Liu Yu, but also the local people in Youzhou were very grateful to Liu Yu. On the contrary, Gongsun Zan had always advocated conquest by force, especially during the period of elimination.
After Liu Yu took charge of Youzhou, he increased the speed of conscription in Youzhou, making it difficult for the people to live in Youzhou. Such a comparison makes the people of Youzhou miss the Youzhou under Liu Yu's rule even more.
Although Liaodong has been independent of Youzhou for so many years, if it really counts, it should belong to Youzhou. Moreover, there are many disputes between the Gongsun family and Gongsun Zan, so the Gongsun family is naturally more inclined to Liu Yu.
Over the years, the Gongsun family has summoned many of Liu Yu's old subordinates under the banner of revenge for Liu Yu. Now after listening to Guan Ning's words, Gongsun Kang's view of those followers has become much better. Even if they are
He laughed loudly and said: "It turns out that he is a righteous man under Liu Shijun's account! I'm sorry!" After saying that, Gongsun Kang also bowed his hands to those followers. Of course, there were only a few followers, so Gongsun Kang didn't deserve to be treated like this.
Guan Ning was so polite, and this was considered a very generous favor.
The attendants also hurriedly returned the gift to Gongsun Kang. Although the leader was not tall, he was extremely thick and gave people a sense of reassurance. He shouted to Gongsun Kang: "I don't dare to be a righteous man. I'll wait for you."
It’s just a down-and-out person who, thanks to the grace of Mr., saves his life, just makes a living under him!”
This person's tone of voice was neither humble nor arrogant, but he was quite elegant. Gongsun Kang's eyes flashed brightly, and he obviously had a love for talents. However, Guan Ning had just arrived, and Gongsun Kang couldn't do it in front of Guan Ning.
We can only give up poaching for the time being and wait until some time later. Anyway, these people are with Guan Ning and they won't be able to go anywhere for a while.
Immediately, Gongsun Kang arranged accommodation for these followers. After all, Gongsun Kang would have to talk to Guan Ning about some serious matters later, so it would be inappropriate to have these followers around him. Several followers glanced at Guan Ning first.
Ning, after seeing Guan Ning nodding in agreement, he cupped his fists and bowed to Gongsun Kang, and retreated under the leadership of the servants of the Hou Mansion. Seeing the actions of these followers, Gongsun Kang felt more and more appreciative.
, put aside his thoughts for the time being, turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Guan Ning, and said with a smile: "Mr. Guan! This way please!"
Let us say that the few followers were led by the servant to a small courtyard in the Hou Mansion. This was the residence arranged for them by Gongsun Kang. After arranging them, the servant bowed and said respectfully: "
Gentlemen, please rest! If you need anything, just shout outside! Someone will take care of it for you!" Living in an environment like the Marquis Mansion, even though he is just a small domestic servant, he still has a lot of potential.
With a pair of extraordinary eyesight, Gongsun Kang had treated these followers so enthusiastically just now. Even if he thought with his toes, he knew that these followers were by no means ordinary characters, so naturally he had to treat them well.
The attendants didn't put on any airs. The man who spoke to Gongsun Kang before saluted the servant and said, "Thank you for your help, brother!" Then he took another step forward, shook his right hand slightly, but
A pennies of money was stuffed into the palm of the servant's hand.
Feeling that his hand suddenly felt a lot heavier, the servant was also surprised, but when he looked down, a bright smile appeared on the servant's face, and he hurriedly said: "You're welcome, strong man! You're welcome! There will be more in the future."
If you want a villain to do anything, just give me your orders!" With that said, the servant walked backwards and left the courtyard.
After seeing the servants leaving, the attendants suddenly dispersed around the small courtyard. After looking around the walls of the small courtyard, they returned to the side room. Everyone was heading towards that
The thick-looking follower shook his head. Seeing the appearance of his companions, the thick-looking follower was relieved, nodded and said: "Well, although Gongsun Kang didn't send anyone to monitor, we can't take it lightly! You guys
Take turns guarding the courtyard, don't let your identity be exposed!"
"Yes! General Pang!" Several followers shouted in unison, and this thick-looking man was naturally Pang De, the deputy commander of Lidu Heavy Cavalry! Pang De came to Xiangping City with Guan Ning this time.
Naturally, he came to protect Guan Ning on Zhao Yun's order. Guan Ning's mission this time was very important, as it related to whether Western Qin could successfully capture Youzhou, so Pang De was also very cautious.
After about an hour, Guan Ning returned to the small courtyard under the escort of Gongsun Kang. Originally, according to Gongsun Kang's intention, he wanted to arrange a better residence for Guan Ning, but Guan Ning did not.
He repeatedly refused and insisted on living with his entourage. Gongsun Kang did not doubt anything and did not force him. He just asked his men to prepare more supplies for this small courtyard.
Finally, Gongsun Kang and others were persuaded to leave. As soon as Guan Ning entered the wing, Pound asked his two sergeants from the Western Qin Army to guard outside, and then said to Guan Ning: "Mr. Guan! What happened?
how?"
"Yeah!" Guan Ning nodded, but the smile on his face disappeared. He said to Pound in a deep voice: "The matter is more troublesome than we thought before! Gongsun Kang has already controlled most of Liaodong.
Only a small number of Liaodong generals are still watching. If Gongsun Du dies, the remaining Liaodong generals will come back and immediately turn to Gongsun Kang! General Pang! Is General Zhao's idea really feasible?
?I have heard that Gongsun Gong is just a dandy and cannot be used for much purpose at all!"
Pound shook his head and said: "Mr. Guan, you are asking the wrong person when you ask the general about these things! The general's task is to protect the safety of sir, but as for how to act, the general does not understand! General
As I said before, after arriving in Xiangping, everything you do will be under your command! Just do what you think you should do!"
Pound had said so, and Guan Ning had nothing to say. He would not really take Pound's words seriously. He would obey his own command in everything he said. If he decided to give up this plan, he was afraid that the fierce man in front of him would
The general will tie him up immediately! After being challenged by Zhao Yun and others last time, Guan Ning finally understood that none of these Western Qin generals are good! It’s just that Guan Ning has now fallen into this trap.
It's a thief ship, and I'm afraid there's no hope of escaping in this life.
Guan Ning frowned and said to Pang De: "Anyway, let's get in touch with Gongsun Gong first! When Gongsun Kang and I were together just now, we mentioned that Gongsun Kang would officially entertain me at a banquet tomorrow.
But as the second son of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Gong will definitely show up! General Pang, when the time comes, send someone to keep an eye on him and be ready to meet him at any time!" The Gongsun Gong mentioned by Guan Ning is Gongsun Du.
The second son, Gongsun Kang's biological brother, is also the second son who Gongsun Kang and the sergeants mentioned before who stayed in Goulan!
Guan Ning's mission when he came to Xiangping this time was to use Guan Ning's identity to help the disadvantaged second son seize the position of Lord of Liaodong from his brother Gongsun Kang! Then let Gongsun Gong be the bright face.
With the puppet on the throne, Western Qin can be said to have secretly captured Liaodong without arousing Gongsun Zan of Youzhou's alert! This is also the strategy that Zhao Yun came up with before!
"Here!" After listening to Guan Ning's arrangement, Pang De and all the sergeants in the room sang in a low voice. But Guan Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had become an official inexplicably, and he was still there.
Doing this kind of thing that I used to disdain the most is really a trick of fate! However, for the people of Xuantu City, and even for the people of the world, to put an end to this troubled world as soon as possible, what does it mean to bear a little stigma?
Thinking of this, Guan Ning's eyes couldn't help but light up: Luo Yang, I hope you won't let me down!
