Chapter 89 Six Emperors Struggle for the Emperor
"Is it possible that Lord Gu wants to persuade me to join the army of the county governor today?" Song Changming asked.
"No." Gu Wenhui shook his head with a smile, stroking the wine glass in his hand, and looked at Song Changming with a strange look in his eyes.
"There are only three of us here. Tonight, I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with Chief Song Wei and listen to what's in his heart."
"What's in my heart" Song Changming felt that Gu Wenhui meant something.
But when the two met for the first time, it was impossible for Song Changming to reveal too many inner thoughts to each other.
Even though he had a good relationship with Lu Zheng, he still had to be wary of others.
"I'll do it first." Gu Wenhui drank the wine in one gulp and said seriously.
"On the contrary, I think it was a wise decision for Chief Song Wei to decline the fourth lady's kindness and not settle in the county governor's mansion. The entire Xiao family and even the county governor were too impatient and wanted to put everything on the gambling table!
But now that the curtain has just opened and the situation is still unclear, betting rashly will only make it easier for oneself to become cannon fodder.
There is nothing wrong with Chief Song taking a step back at this time and protecting himself wisely. "
Lu Zheng, who had been eating the food and wine on the table, suddenly stopped using his chopsticks when he heard Gu Wenhui's remarks. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Gu, what does this mean?"
Gu Wenhui breathed out the breath of alcohol. There was no trace of smile on his face. He tilted his head and looked at the two of them.
"Anyway, this matter is getting closer and closer to being concealed, so I will tell you frankly that today's Holy Emperor has become sick due to overwork and has no way to make a comeback.
The six most powerful princes under him have already been gearing up. They are fighting openly and secretly to win over people, both above and below the court.
Our county governor also surrendered to the third prince a long time ago, placed a bet and participated in this party struggle."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment.
What's this? !
This is definitely a big deal!
Song Changming, on the other hand, was thoughtful. He had actually made some speculations in the past few years.
It's just that he doesn't have any information channels from the court, so he just thinks about it.
Now, Gu Wenhui directly told them this huge matter, which can be regarded as confirming some of Song Changming's guesses.
It's just that the development of the matter is more extreme. This party dispute is related to the future struggle for the emperor and the throne. This will definitely be a terrible bloody storm with wide implications.
"So Brother Gu thinks that our county guard will suffer badly in this party dispute?" Lu Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"There is an 80% chance that our county guard acted for the third prince to show his loyalty and made too many enemies.
Unless the third prince is affectionate and righteous and swears to protect our county guard to the death, otherwise, the county guard and the Xiao family may become an abandoned son at any time! "Gu Wenhui said directly without saying anything ambiguous.
He obviously has his own information channels, which is enough to support him in analyzing the current situation and judging that their county governor is in danger.
"Since Brother Gu is already aware of the danger, why don't you remind the county guard and plan a new way out for him?" Lu Zheng had a close relationship with Gu Wenhui, so he asked directly without any hesitation.
Gu Wenhui shook his head: "I already made a suggestion three years ago, but the result was that the county governor distanced himself and did not adopt my opinion. At that time, I knew that the situation was settled and there was no need to waste my efforts. "
Lu Zheng was speechless for a moment after hearing this.
Speaking of this, Gu Wenhui looked at Song Changming again and asked: "Brother Song also foresaw everything going on here, so why didn't he enter the county governor's mansion?"
Seeing that Gu Wenhui had already talked so deeply, Song Changming no longer hid it, "I have the idea of protecting myself wisely, but I don't know anything about the emperor's family. I just feel that the storm here is too big and I don't want to go here." Wading in the muddy water made Mr. Gu laugh. "
"That's it." Gu Wenhui understood and then smiled.
"It's right to take a step back, but it's just that we can't get into this situation. With Brother Song's abilities and qualifications, it's a bit of a pity. However, the situation is stronger than others. There's no telling that Brother Song will change his mind in the future.
At that time, if Brother Song is interested, you can come to me and I will definitely set up a stage for Brother Song and Brother Lu, enough for you to show your ambitions. "
At the end of the conversation, Gu Wenhui filled his glass with wine and raised his glasses to the two of them.
Song Changming raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
He heard that this Gu Wenhui had already thought of leaving the county guard and left a way out for himself.
He was not sure whether this person wanted to rely on the family to work alone in the future, or whether he wanted to find another Ming master to join him.
Having said so much tonight, it was clear that he wanted to win over Lu Zheng and him.
He didn't know how many corners this person had poached from the county guard in private. Song Changming would not naively think that the other party only had contact with the two of them.
It can only be said that in the current situation where chaos is gradually emerging, people with ideas are making various preparations in advance.
And ambitious people want the world to become more chaotic.
Lu Zheng quickly cleared his mind, glanced at Song Changming, and took the lead in picking up the wine bowl on the table and clinking it with Gu Wenhui's wine glass.
He is two meters tall and can only hold an ordinary wine glass with two fingers in his hand, as if joking, so he only drinks from a large bowl.
When Song Changming saw this, he thought for a while. Although he might not really go to find this person, there was nothing wrong with leaving an extra escape route for himself at the moment.
Then he raised his glass and touched it with Gu Wenhui.
The smile on Gu Wenhui's face became even brighter. Although the three of them came here to meet the beauty who was so hot, they just came here to meet her.
But in fact, from beginning to end, they never looked at the woman playing the piano and singing in the lobby.
Have been secretly talking about more important matters.
It wasn't until the two jars of fine wine were finished that the three of them returned happily.
On the way back, although Song Changming smelled of alcohol, his eyes were extremely clear. Thinking back on the content of the drink, he felt that the amount of information was huge.
"This is the rhythm of the world that is about to go into chaos," Song Changming said to himself.
Throughout the history of the Great Han Dynasty, few new emperors came to power peacefully. Whenever the emperor died, there would always be a great chaos.
After the great chaos, there will be great changes. Only when the new emperor ascends the throne on the back of thousands of bones will the Great Han Dynasty return to peace.
It's like a circle, over and over again.
The plot of history keeps repeating itself, whether it is wrong or right.
"Forget it, it's useless to think about it so much."
With his small status, the big chess players who are already in the game would never notice his presence.
After all, he doesn't matter.
In this Donglai County city, his strength may be pretty good, but looking at the entire Dahan Dynasty, he is not good enough. He is not even ranked among the real martial arts masters.
Not to mention power, he must at least be the governor in charge of a county to be eligible to be received by the chess players.
In the eyes of those people, his status and power were almost nothing.
There is no sense of existence, but it may give him a chance to avoid this bloody storm.
Walking and thinking all the way, when passing a bamboo forest, a cool breeze blew by. Song Changming slowly stopped, his right hand already resting on the handle of the knife at his waist.
This place is far away from human habitation, and the bamboo forest is surrounded by silence and darkness.
After Song Changming suddenly stopped, there were more rustling sounds around him, the crisp sound of his feet stepping on the dry leaves.
In the darkness, a bit of cold light emerged, which were bright long knives.
Then more than ten people wearing bamboo hats and black clothes approached from the darkness in the distance, and they had already surrounded Song Changming.
"Song Changming?" One of them said, his words cold.
"They must be from the Dinghai Gang. I never thought they would dare to show up in Donglai County." Song Changming had a keen sense of smell and noticed that these people all had a faint salty smell.
This is unique to people who have been at sea all year round.
Considering what happened before, it is only possible that the Dinghai Gang came to seek revenge on him.
"You have killed so many of our brothers. If I don't chop off your heads, I am sure that the Haihai Gang will not be able to convince the public, let alone gain a foothold in the world!" The man said slowly, still approaching Song Changming.
Song Changming's heart moved.
He originally thought that the other party came for the treasure map, but it seemed that the purpose of this group of people was more pure and simple, just for revenge, a gangster style.
This group of people seemed unaware of the treasure map.
And so it is.
When the members of the Dinghaishui Gang accidentally learned that the Jinque sect was carrying a treasure map, their first reaction was just to keep it for themselves and had no intention of reporting it to the gang.
And after Song Changming killed all the Dinghaiwei Gang, no one in the Dinghaiwei Gang knew about the treasure map.
Their trip was indeed just a vendetta in the world.
Who allowed Song Changming to kill so many members of the Dinghaiwei Gang in one wave? The hatred value was too high. Even if the Dinghaiwei Gang was expelled by the government, they would have to send people to take away Song Changming's head. Otherwise, they would not be able to convince the crowd, and even more Loss of face.
"Your gang attacked me first. If you insist on dying, what does it have to do with me?" Song Changming said calmly, but he didn't look panicked when he was surrounded by people.
"The military has killed more members of your gang, and I don't see you asking the military to fight. I guess it's just bullying the weak and fearing the strong."
"court death!"
There were members of the Dinghaihai Gang who couldn't stand hearing it any longer, so they attacked Song Changming first.
This person's pace was extremely fast, as if he was flying on the grass and flying on the ground, and he was in front of Song Changming in a blink of an eye.
It has to be said that the Dinghai Gang can expand its maritime business to several coastal states and counties, which shows that there are still many capable people among them.
There are many martial arts masters!
