A beautiful day for King Tosai was overshadowed.

In his original plan, when the battle between the close servants and the king of Shengyu was in full swing, he sent a decisive force to lay down the victory in one fell swoop, and then made peace with the commander of ten thousand soldiers, Uthori, to divide 100,000 cavalry and obtain the largest one for himself.

Things went more smoothly than he had imagined, the Grand Lieutenant was assassinated, and by returning his body, he was able to enter the camp and hopefully take down the entire army, and he could not have imagined that a group of junior officers would do something bad.

Outside the tent, hundreds of officers were shouting for the revenge of the Grand Captain, and in the tent, ten captains and two deputy lieutenants gathered in a pile of whispers, their expressions were quite serious, but half a day passed, and no plans were formulated.

As the only bystander, Tosai's face was gloomy, and he finally couldn't help but take the case, "The Guards are the most powerful force in the North Court, and they have always been known for their loyalty, when did you allow a group of slaves to be so arrogant?"

"They are not slaves. One of the captains corrected: "Rather, it is the excellent sons sent by the tribes to serve the king of the Khan, and they will ...... in the future."

"In the future, I will become the backbone of the family and the foundation for maintaining the unity of the North Garden. Tossey said coldly, he had heard these clichés since childhood, "Is there no one in the close guards to teach them to obey orders?

"The officers' expressions may be out of place, but there is nothing wrong with them wanting to avenge the Grand Captain. "Deputy Commander Gu Lun stood up, this is a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a stern long face, when he speaks, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and even has a little meaning of disobedience.

Tosai had long thought that Gu Lun would be his enemy, and to his surprise, these twelve generals who could decide the fate of the close servants were still submissive to themselves just now, and as soon as they heard the call from outside, they immediately changed their attitude and began to perfunctory themselves.

He glanced at his spokesman, and at this time, Uso should show his stance and loyalty.

Ucuo was about the same age as Gulun, broad and fat, with a bushy beard, and looked extremely heroic, and only those who knew him well knew that he was an extremely cautious man.

Prudence is a superfluous quality today, and Ucuo's ability to become the commander of ten thousand masters is all the result of the support of the Yao Wang family, and he must firmly stand on Tosai's side, "Ahem, that's right, the assassination of the Grand Captain, of course, this revenge must be avenged, and the revenge of the old Khan King must be avenged, otherwise the faces of our people will be lost to the sky." However, if you want to take revenge, you must have a person in charge, and the dragons cannot be leaderless, so the top priority is to immediately elect a new Grand Captain, and the Grand Lieutenant will give the order, and the officers outside will naturally obey. ”

That sounded reasonable, and Tosai nodded, looking defiantly at Gu Lun to see what else he could do.

Gu Lun didn't speak, and the other generals were silent.

Tosai felt that he was about to win, but the noise outside suddenly rose up, as if the officers had lost control and were about to storm the tent.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a guard entered, looking panicked, and hurriedly saluted, "The officers have asked to meet your lords. ”

"Huh. Utso let out a short laugh, "How many people are out there?"

"Probably...... About five or six hundred people. ”

"Tell them that the main tent is too small to hold them. ”

"The officers will send several representatives......"

"Nonsense!" Ucuo scolded angrily, remembering that he was still only a captain of ten thousand masters, and there were two lieutenants on it, "The officers have to make inches, this wind must not be long, please make a decision quickly." ”

The two deputy lieutenants glanced at each other, and their thoughts were similar, and Gu Lun had confidence, "This is a special period, and we can't stick to the rules, why don't we let the representatives of the officers come in and talk? There is no king of Khan in Beiting now, no matter who is the grand lieutenant, it cannot be justified, and the recognition and support of the officers is very important." ”

Tosai was indignant, he was the grandson of the old Khan King, and the future Khan King, with him, everything was naturally justified, and Gu Lun said such a thing, which was almost equivalent to openly opposing himself.

Outside the dozen tents, Gu Shenwei was still sitting on a low stool and listening, Shangguan Ru looked at it from afar, "Will Azheba succeed?"

"Yes. ”

The Dragon King replied so affirmatively, Shangguan Ru was puzzled and turned his head to look at him.

"Tosai is arrogant, but he has not yet reached the point of being stupid, and whether he wants it or not, he can only accept the demands of the officers. ”

As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Fei, who had been jumping around in the barracks, ran in, nodded at his sister, and said excitedly to the Dragon King: "It's a trouble, this time it's really a trouble, and other officers have also rushed to support, whoever stays out of the matter will be seen as a coward and a traitor, hehe, I didn't expect the assassination of the Grand Lieutenant to bring such consequences." ”

Shangguan Ru had been in contact with the officers and understood their thoughts better, "In the North Court, the Servant Army is a unique army, and the other armies, from commanders to soldiers, come from a fixed number of tribes, and share allegiance to a single prince. In the close army, only the soldiers have a fixed source, and more than half of the officers are nobles selected from all tribes, and they will serve for ten years at most, and they will still return to the army of their own tribe. By Beiting's standards, they are indeed not particularly 'loyal' to the close attendants. ”

Shangguan Fei was even more excited, "In this case, why doesn't the Dragon King grab this army, with 100,000 close servants, he can almost sweep the grassland, not to mention ......"

Not to mention the breakthrough of Biyu City and Jinpeng Castle, Shangguan Fei couldn't continue.

Shangguan Ru answered this question for the Dragon King, "Because these officers will still be loyal to their own tribe, not to outsiders." There were some officers in the army who had risen from the soldiers, and they were more determined to be loyal to the new Khan. ”

Shangguan Fei was not convinced, and wanted to persuade the Dragon King, but there was a cry from the old man outside, "Shangguan Fei, you stinky boy, get out of here, I want to check the progress of your boxing practice in the past few days, almost, I dismantled the bones of your body." ”

Shangguan Fei stuck out his tongue in fright, he was never a model of hard work, and Old Man Mu was not a soft-hearted Master.

Although Shangguan Ru is a younger sister, she always plays the role of father and brother in front of her twin brother, she already knows about Shangguan Fei's learning of Wudong Boxing, and reminded solemnly: "You are not allowed to kill people and practice again, Old Man Mu, the people he kills in the future will be counted on you." ”

"Huh?" Old Man Mu felt that he was really wronged, and said in a more stern voice: "Shangguan Fei, if you dare to kill again, I will ...... Cut your little things and send you to Wangcheng Lane to pick up customers. ”

Shangguan Fei walked out obediently, and didn't dare to say anything about half a complaint.

Hearing Old Man Mu's vulgar threat, Shangguan Ru's face turned a little red, and when he turned around, he saw that the Dragon King was staring at him intently, his gaze was unprecedentedly soft, and it was close to a shallow smile, "Are you laughing at me?"

Seeing Shangguan Ru teaching his brother a lesson, Gu Shenwei suddenly returned to Jinpeng Castle, which was a shameful experience, but there was occasionally a ray of sunshine in the layers of darkness.

The noise in the distance turned into cheers, reminding Gu Shen to live in the real world for him.

Liman ran in sweaty, "It's successful, the commander is also eligible to participate in the election." ”

Tosai agreed very reluctantly, he knew very well in his heart that the so-called revenge for the Grand Lieutenant was just an excuse, the officers had ulterior motives, but he had no choice, among the senior generals, only Uso was his staunch supporter, and the others were all on the side of the officers, either openly or covertly, and suddenly, King Yao became the weaker side, and the more than a thousand guards he brought with him were not even as many as the officers.

"The commander and the deputy lieutenant will put out four candidates, and the officers can put out one, and it is not particularly ideal to elect the lieutenant among these five people, but it can only be done this step. "It's a bit of a pity for Liman, I don't think the victory was complete enough.

"I'm afraid it's going to take a long time. "The current camp of the guards is turbulent, and the situation may change in the blink of an eye, Gu Shenwei is worried about the long nights and dreams.

Liman sighed, "There is no way, the officers are temporarily allied, but only one candidate is given, the Dragon King can imagine, how fierce the competition will be, the initial selection is scheduled to be held at midnight tonight, and the results will be announced in the early hours of tomorrow morning." ”

"Where's the prince outside?"

"They will be let in during the second watch, and all the princes can only watch, not elect. ”

It sounded very reasonable, but Gu Shenwei even wondered, did the Lotus Girl and the Holy King expect this change in officers and soldiers, and where was the trap they arranged for King Yue Yao's Thosai?

Liman looked extremely nervous as he walked out of the tent, the officers' alliance was short-lived, and a life-and-death battle was about to begin, and he was not very sure of the outcome.

Gu Shenwei refused to give advice, although he had some ideas, but in this chaotic situation, every choice could have unexpected results, turning him from a clever "military advisor" to a sinner who led to failure.

"The Dragon King has a great reputation among the officers. Shangguan Ru said softly.

Gu Shenwei's feelings were not obvious, he had a question in his heart, and took the opportunity to say, "You are very familiar with the officers here?"

"Hmm. Shangguan Ru generously admitted, "I met some people in prison, introduced each other, and got to know more and more people, and they were all very easy to deal with." ”

"Why?"

"What, why?"

"What do you want from the Guards?"

"Is there anything else that the Dragon King can't guess?" Shangguan Ru smiled.

Gu Shenwei guessed it, but he couldn't understand it, the reason was Shangguan Ru's rebuttal of his brother's words just now, "It's useless, you know very well, the soldiers of Beiting will not join the Dragon Army." ”

"You have to give it a try, everyone still thinks that no one dares to kill the old Khan King, what is the result?" In Shangguan Ru's eyes, the Dragon King and her brother are two diametrically opposed people, and she doesn't feel that she is inconsistent.

"But you ......" Gu Shenwei didn't know how to say it, he didn't understand why Shangguan Ru took the initiative to do such a thing for himself.

Shangguan Ru obviously understood what he meant, the expression on his face became gentle, and the only remaining bit of childishness disappeared without a trace, "You will protect those who take refuge in you, I don't want the grassland to become a killing field, so I hope that the close servants will become your subordinates." ”

Thinking of the reaction of Azheba and the others in the morning, Gu Shenwei felt that this plan was as unrealistic as the lotus girl, "Only killing can benefit me." ”

"I'll fight for another option for you. Shangguan Ru's tone was firm, revealing the arrogance that only the "Ten Sons" have.

Gu Shenwei untied the Wufeng knife and crossed it in front of his knees, "If the election result is not Gu Lun, Azheba wants to borrow my knife to solve the problem, I agreed, Tosai wants to get rid of me, I will strike first, he escapes from the close army, and he will also die in his own camp; See, everyone but you wants me to draw a sword, this is my only way, choice? You have, I don't. ”
