Chapter Three Hundred and Eighth
Li Siye didn't understand what Gu Qing meant by "inner demons". He didn't even realize that he had inner demons.
There is no bottom line for a villain's actions. The only bottom line is his own interests. Maybe sometimes when a villain harms others, he does not need to benefit himself. He can harm others if he wants to, and he will do things that harm others but do not benefit himself.
He accidentally seized the moral high ground, and from then on he had endless nightmares and entanglements. It was useless to reason with this kind of person, all the reasons were no bigger than the word "profit" in the eyes of the villain, so he was forced to fight
He is useless, he will fall to the ground and howl miserably if touched, and he is as fragile as a porcelain doll. Ignore him, I will give you a sneak attack, hit the vital point directly, and you will either die or be disabled.
If you encounter this kind of situation, you are considered a "bad guy".
Li Siye was a rough man. He only knew how to go into battle and kill enemies. He had no idea how to deal with villains.
Therefore, in Shule Town, I had to be controlled by villains everywhere, so I acted cautiously, for fear of being manipulated by villains.
It's right to be cautious, but over time, a tiger general's vigor will be completely worn away. Now that Gu Qing knows the reason, he must help him get rid of his inner demons and restore his vigor as soon as possible. Otherwise, a good general
The tiger general is useless.
Han Jie walked into the commander's tent and saluted: "Master Marquis, General Tian Zhen of Shule Town has entered the camp."
Li Siye was startled and looked at Gu Qing blankly.
Gu Qing smiled and said: "Please invite Tian Zhen to come to the handsome tent."
Just as Han Jie was about to go out, Gu Qing said again: "In addition, call ten personal guards to enter the tent with swords."
Han Jie took the order.
Li Siye said uneasily: "Master Hou, what are you..."
Gu Qing smiled and said: "To get rid of inner demons, you must be decisive and straightforward, and don't be sloppy. Brother Li, pearls may be covered with dust, but swords must not be covered with dust. Pearls are just useless things for appreciation, but swords are used to kill people. Killing people
How can a sharp weapon lose its edge?"
Li Siye's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He didn't understand why Gu Qing knew about Tian Zhen, and he didn't understand what Gu Qing was going to do. He had a vague premonition in his heart. At this moment, the young Marquis might do something surprising.
Unexpected events.
Not long after, ten personal guards wearing armor and holding horizontal swords walked into the commander's tent. After saluting, they were divided into two rows, arranged left and right in the shape of a wild goose.
Tian Zhen walked to the handsome tent and looked at the handsome tent in front of her, which was much larger than the ordinary barracks and decorated with a rather powerful and solemn decoration. Tian Zhen took a deep breath, calmed down her excitement, adjusted her armor, and worked hard
He created a calm and wise temperament, which made Mr. Gu have a good impression on him the first time he saw him.
A lifetime of fame, wealth, and honor begins right now!
Standing outside the commander's tent, Tian Zhen bowed and clasped his fists, and said loudly: "The last general, General Tian Zhen of Shule Town, came here on the order of the Marquis to pay homage to Gu Marquis, the deputy envoy of Anxi Festival."
There was no movement in the handsome tent for a long time. Just when Tian Zhen was feeling a little flustered, he heard a rough and deep voice coming coldly from the handsome tent.
"Enter!"
Tian Zhen felt happy, opened the handsome tent and walked in.
The first thing that catches the eye are two rows of sword-wielding guards, standing on the left and right with expressionless faces. They press the handles of the swords at their waists and stare silently. On the main seat in the middle of the handsome tent, there is a man who is not wearing armor and only wears ordinary Confucian clothing.
The man in a shirt lazily sat cross-legged behind the table, looking at him coldly.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Tian Zhen's back, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the situation in front of him.
For some reason, he always felt that there was an invisible murderous aura lingering in the handsome tent, and the object of the murderous aura was none other than himself who had just entered the tent.
After a long silence, Gu Qing, who was sitting behind the main seat, suddenly said: "Are you Tian Zhen?"
Tian Zhen lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Then Tian Zhen said again: "Tian Zhen, the last general, had heard a few months ago that the newly appointed deputy envoy of Anxi Festival, Gu Houye, was a great and famous minister of the country. He not only had the poetic talent of Zi Jianyuan Liang, but also
With the handsomeness and talent of Wei Huo, I have been looking up to God for a long time, and I regret not knowing the thorns. Today..."
Gu Qing waved his hand and interrupted his endless flattery: "Okay, I'll answer whatever I ask you. No need to flatter me."
As he spoke, Gu Qing pointed at the silent Li Siye behind the guard formation and said, "Do you know him?"
Tian Zhen turned around and looked, shocked: "Li Siye! You, you..."
Li Siye sighed, lowered his head and looked at the table in front of him, but ignored him.
Gu Qing said coldly: "Let me ask you something, you and Li Siye are both military attachés of Shule Town, why have you framed and harmed him repeatedly? You have accused Li Siye of many illegal things to the border supervisors. Which of them has solid evidence?
"
Tian Zhen was about to collapse. She set off from Shule Town confidently. She was planning to achieve great success along the way. Unexpectedly, when she entered the Marquis's handsome tent, she acted like an interrogator. The so-called prosperity was just a wishful dream.
In fact, he was summoned to Kucha City for trial.
Pointing at Li Siye in despair, Tian Zhen said with a ferocious expression: "You...were you the one who framed me in front of the Marquis? You are a villain. If you tell the truth behind your back, I will never give up on you!"
Gu Qing sighed and said: "Han Jie, ten slaps on the mouth."
Han Jie stepped forward, grabbed the breast shield on Tian Zhen's chest, and slapped Tian Zhen ten times with his bow left and right. The crisp sound of flesh slaps and Tian Zhen's screams echoed in the handsome tent.
Han Jie silently backed away after finishing the slap.
Gu Qing stared at Tian Zhen, whose cheeks were swollen, and said coldly: "Tian Zhen, let me say it one last time, you answer whatever I ask. If you still ignore my question, you will be hit with ten military sticks next time. Do you understand?
?”
Tian Zhen knelt on her knees with a plop, facing Gu Qing with tears streaming down her face, and said vaguely: "Yes, I will understand, and I will be convicted."
Gu Qing grunted and said, "Let me ask you, among the many illegal things you mentioned about Li Siye, which one has real evidence? Show us the evidence. As long as one of them is true, I will not pursue you today."
Tian Zhen's body was trembling, and he fell to the ground and said with a trembling voice: "The last general has been convicted, and the last one has accused Li Siye many times. Although there is no evidence, there is a reason after all. Besides, the border supervisors also agree with what the last one has done.
Every time the general exposed him, the border supervisors severely reprimanded Li Siye."
Gu Qing smiled: "I'm here to translate your nonsense. You mean to expose Li Siye's so-called illegal activities. Although there is no evidence, it is 'groundless' after all, right? And in the end you still took advantage of it.
Ling Cheng comes to suppress me, haha, General Tian, you are so brave, you dare to openly threaten the commander of the first army, why don't you have such courage when you go into battle to kill the enemy?"
Hearing these words without emotion or anger was like a thunderbolt in Tian Zhen's ears.
Gu Qing's tone did not fluctuate, but Tian Zhen heard a strong murderous intention in it. Although she was a little unbelievable, Tian Zhen still panicked.
"Master Marquis, Master Gu! The general made a blunder for a moment and did not mean to threaten. Master Marquis, please do not misunderstand..."
Gu Qing said calmly: "The matter has been clarified, so it's time to clarify the official punishment...Han Jie, tell the military officials to note that Tian Zhen was timid in the face of battle, framed Bao Ze, threatened the commander and many other crimes. If these crimes are not punished, it will be difficult to punish them.
The morale of the military and the people..."
"Left and right, they pushed Tian Zhen out of the school grounds, listed the charges, and then beheaded him in public."
Han Jie showed a ferocious look on his face and waved fiercely to the guards. Two rows of guards in the tent rushed forward, tied Tian Zhen up tightly and dragged him outside the commander's tent.
It wasn't until this moment that Tian Zhen realized that Gu Qing was actually serious. In just a few words of dialogue, he had already been sentenced to death and was about to be beheaded.
Tian Zhen, who was tied up by Wu Hua Da, struggled hard and protested loudly: "Master Marquis, how unfair the conduct of the Marquis is! Even if the general has made a small mistake, his crime will not lead to death. Master Hou, the last general is the imperial minister, how can this be allowed?"
Killing indiscriminately? A small crime with heavy punishment and the execution of a general. Aren't you afraid of being impeached? The border supervisors will not allow you to do this!"
Gu Qing sneered: "I have killed governors before, but I have not killed generals. It doesn't hurt to give it a try today. As for the border guards... well, a dying person still worries about the living. Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
Push it out quickly, don't miss General Tian's opportunity to go on the road."
As Tian Zhen struggled and yelled unwillingly, the guards dragged him out of the commander's tent, and the yells became more and more distant.
Li Siye had been sitting silently in the commander's tent without saying a word. Seeing that Tian Zhen had been pushed out of the commander's tent, Li Siye stood up and persuaded: "Master Marquis, although Tian Zhen does not get along with the generals, he is still our general of the Tang Dynasty.
Small crimes are punished severely, and the general will be afraid that the Marquis will be brought to justice. Lord Marquis, you..."
Gu Qing smiled and waved his hand: "Sit down and wait quietly for the result. You don't need to worry about my affairs."
Li Siye had no choice but to sit down, his heartbeat was still very fast. He never expected that the Marquis would be so decisive in killing. He only said a few words to Tian Zhen before ordering the execution. This was the first time he saw Gu Qing's smiling face behind his back.
Very cruel.
Not long after, a guard came into the tent holding a tray, and on the tray was Tian Zhen's bloody head.
Gu Qing clicked his tongue and waved his hand in disgust: "Don't show it to me. I'm timid and afraid of seeing blood. Let General Li see it with his own eyes. After that, take it out and bury it."
Li Siye looked at the dead head on the tray. Even a battle-hardened general couldn't help but feel frightened at this moment. He nodded hurriedly to confirm.
The guard carried the head out and Gu Qing smiled and said: "Brother Li, have you eliminated the inner demon?"
Li Siye sighed, bowed and said: "Master Marquis, I will bow to you. I know that everything the Marquis has done is for me. I, Li Siye, am not a person who does not know good and evil. From now on, I will listen to you."
Sent.”
Li Siye was really convinced by Gu Qing. He finally knew Gu Qing's intention of killing Tian Zhen. Only by killing this person would Li Siye not be afraid of villains and be careful everywhere, so that he could show his full potential without any scruples.
With his abilities, he serves the Anxi Protectorate.
Gu Qing smiled and said nothing, killing Tian Zhen was indeed for Li Siye, but it was not entirely for Li Siye.
In Gu Qing's heart, the four towns of Anxi will belong to him sooner or later, so he cannot allow the existence of rat shit like Tian Zhen among the soldiers of the four towns, which will ruin the military discipline and morale of the entire Anxi army. Get rid of villains like Tian Zhen
He should do it sooner rather than later.
Standing up, Gu Qing clapped his hands and said: "Brother Li, from today on, you will be officially transferred to the Kucha City garrison camp. I will appoint you as Mo Dao General. Within half a year, I will select thousands of Mo Dao soldiers from all over the army."
Above all, you can choose all the officers and men of our Anxi Army. As for money, you don’t have to worry about it. I will take care of money matters, can you do it?"
