Chapter 951: Assassinated

Chen Guanlou left Liu Daowen and rushed back to the camp.

Marquis Pingjiang was assassinated!

In the two days he left, three waves of assassins attacked one after another. Marquis Pingjiang was assassinated and seriously injured.

At first, the personal guards blocked Chen Guanlou and did not allow him to visit. They said it was the Marquis's order; without his permission, except for the doctor and the two military advisors, no one was allowed to enter.

Chen Guanlou's anger rose: "Are you sure you can stop me?"

"Even if we can't stop you, we have to stop you. The Marquis's order, no one is allowed to dispute. If Prison Warden Chen is not convinced, you can kill us and break in."

Forget it!

Chen Guanlou could not really kill the personal guards.

He could only take a detour and find someone to pass the message.

After tossing for a long time, he finally saw Marquis Pingjiang.

"Eldest master, you old man can't die yet. You are tossing like this, and you are playing a fake drama, is it necessary to be so desperate?"

"This Marquis is about to die, and you actually say this Marquis is playing a fake drama?" Marquis Pingjiang coughed twice, lying on the bed, looking sick and colorless.

Chen Guanlou gave a cold laugh. He naturally saw that Marquis Pingjiang's injuries were serious, but not fatal. With good medicine and care, it wouldn't take long for him to get out of bed and move around.

He said: "At first, you asked me to stay and guard your safety. I agreed without a word. Later, you also asked me to go out and play for two days. It just so happened that in these two days, you were assassinated three times and seriously injured. Guess what I would think?

Don't deny it, that the three assassinations have nothing to do with you, and you didn't arrange them. I don't know how you are playing chess, I only know, don't play with me! If you play with me, I don't mind overturning the table, and no one will have anything to play!"

Marquis Pingjiang tried to sit up from the bed.

Chen Guanlou raised his hand and pressed it, suppressing the other party: "Don't move. Although your injuries are not fatal, if they collapse repeatedly and cause the wound to suppurate, you will still die. You need to rest quietly now, just lie down properly."

Marquis Pingjiang tried to persuade: "I know you have doubts. If I were in your position, I would also be unable to help but suspect. I am too lazy to explain, just tell you, everything I did was for the border military and civilians, for the Hou Fu, for the Chen clan. If the Hou Fu falls, you should know the end of the Chen clan very well. You work in the Heavenly Prison and have seen countless broken families. Don't you want to see the Chen family fall into that kind of situation?"

"Don't try to use big principles to make me feel guilty. I only ask you, are you still going to play with me?" Chen Guanlou refused to change the subject; don't try to use the name of righteousness to restrain him.

Marquis Pingjiang saw that he was unmoved and could only sigh: "Not playing with you, just hiding some truth. You have always refused to participate, so some things naturally cannot be told to you."

This is the truth.

Chen Guanlou nodded with satisfaction: "So, the assassination was indeed your claim, self-directed and self-acted, fake drama?"

"Where does the fake drama come from? Is the assassination true, is this Marquis's injury true, are the assassins true... everything is true, where does the fake come from? You have entered a misunderstanding." Marquis Pingjiang laughed: "You always think everything can be planned, but you don't know that many times, many things, do not need planning, just need an idea, and then arrange suitable people to execute it. Flexible operation can ensure that secrets will not be leaked. Planning in advance, it is hard to guarantee that the wind will leak."

A few words revealed a lot of inside information.

Chen Guanlou pondered for a while: "Then has your goal been achieved?"

"Soon! As far as I know, at the latest tomorrow, people from the imperial court and the palace will arrive."

Chen Guanlou didn't care about these, and asked again: "Can I return to the capital? I stay here, it's useless."

"You underestimate yourself too much." Marquis Pingjiang looked at him with a smile: "Many of your ideas are unique and quite valuable. If you are willing, I will recommend you to be an official in the local area. If you can't bear to leave the capital, being a capital official is also possible."

"No need! I am doing well now, and I don't intend to change positions. Let me ask one sentence, will you return to the capital to observe mourning?"

Marquis Pingjiang asked him back: "Do you think I should go back?"

"I don't know!" Chen Guanlou was very honest and told the truth: "According to filial piety, you must go back. This is the foundation of being a person. According to the situation, if you go back now, maybe the efforts and layout of the past few years will be wasted. There is no big deal except life and death! I think, everything is based on life and death. If staying in the Northwest is more favorable to the situation and can save your life, then don't go back."

Deep in Chen Guanlou's heart, he obviously tended not to return to the capital.

Special circumstances are handled specially.

In the current situation, what are you going back for, looking for death?

Marquis Pingjiang seemed very satisfied with his answer and said: "You are indeed transparent! As a filial son, it is very difficult for me not to return to the capital! The emperor played such a trick, and even did not hesitate to poison, such a mean means, the purpose is nothing more than to force me to return to the capital.

If I insist on staying in the Northwest, he will definitely come up with other calculations. But if I go back as he wishes, I can't avoid his next calculation. It's a dilemma, full of calculations, and the taste of having one's life in the hands of others is not good!"

"So you made so many things? Disturbing the Imperial Mausoleum, and assassination?" Chen Guanlou asked him.

Marquis Pingjiang shook his head slowly: "The change of the situation, how can I calculate it. You look up to me too much."

Chen Guanlou gave a hehe laugh.

Ghost talk.

In the mouths of this group of old court officials, there is really no truth.

"What are you going to do next?" Chen Guanlou asked.

Marquis Pingjiang sighed, the wound was painful, making him unable to think intently. After a long while, he said: "After the people in the capital arrive, you will return to the capital. I am seriously ill and need to lie down and heal, and cannot move. Do you understand?"

Chen Guanlou nodded and shook his head: "Such a big thing as disturbing the Imperial Mausoleum, the emperor will certainly not give up, and will sooner or later check to the Northwest. At that time, no evidence is needed, the emperor will stare at you, stare at the Hou Fu. Borrowing the injury to stay in the Northwest can only delay for a while, the emperor will definitely find a way to force you to return to the capital. Can't hide."

"Hahaha..." Marquis Pingjiang laughed loudly, pulling the wound on his body, and couldn't help frowning and enduring the pain: "Everything you said is correct, the emperor will definitely force me to return to the capital. At that time, it's a big deal to follow his wishes."

Chen Guanlou was stunned when he heard this: "You want to return to the capital?"

"Sooner or later I have to go back. But not now." Marquis Pingjiang's expression relaxed, slowly closing his eyes, appearing to have a well-thought-out plan, everything is in the calculation, everything is in the plan.

He doesn't calculate small details, but he will calculate the big direction.

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows: "It seems that the game of chess you are playing is not only big, but also lasted for many years. The emperor may be self-willed, crazy, and his brain is not that good. But Xie Changling beside him cannot be underestimated, and he can bend and stretch. He holds the resources of the imperial court, when you play chess, have you calculated him in?"

"Everyone beside the emperor is worthy of attention!" Marquis Pingjiang said slowly, his eyes opening a slit: "Since you are not willing to participate, don't ask too much. To be alone, you must do not hear or ask, remember?" ===== CHAPTER 952 =====
