Chapter 124:

Early in the morning of the second day, Xue Ziqin arranged for Guo Linchong to go to the camp where Min Qiukong came out. The frontline also continued to send wounded soldiers off the court.
After a busy night, Jiang also fell asleep in the sun and ran to Xue Ziqin at any time to stand by. Hearing from others, Xue Ziqin went to visit Guo Linchong. Others didn't know about Guo Linchong's affairs, but Jiang also knew that if Xue Ziqin went to visit, he even felt that Xue Ziqin was going to prove something.
Thinking this way, Jiang Ye's mind was also hooked, very curious what Xue Ziqin would tell Guo Linchong in the end.
Whether it's just a few words from yesterday, or out of Jiang Ye's selfishness, Jiang also hopes that Guo Linchong has nothing to do with these things.
But if he was asked to listen to the foot of the wall again to satisfy his curiosity, Jiang couldn't do it anymore. After thinking about it, he still honestly went to Zhongyi to help.
...
Perhaps it was the night before that night, and I saw that it was noon. Guo Linchong was still lying on the couch and resting, and his face was not good. When Xue Ziqin entered, Guo Linchong closed his eyes and rested. Hearing someone coming in, he raised his head slightly sensitively and asked, "Who?"
Xue Ziqin said in a deep voice, "It's me", then walked to him and stood still, without expression.
"How did the general come?" Guo Linchong asked, thinking about it, and how he said it would not feel good to talk to the general while lying down like this. But Xue Ziqin waved his hand and pulled a chair from the side. "The injury is not good, don't be forced, I will see how you are."
"Thank you General for your concern." Wen Yan said, Guo Linchong lay back again, only to sit up a little bit. He is indeed a little weak now and would like to rest.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Xue Ziqin asked easily.
He kept staring at Guo Linchong's face when he said this. Sure enough, as he expected, Guo Linchong's brow twitched slightly, and it was obvious that he was touched by this remark, but this expression was fleeting. Guo Lin chuckled softly: "Fortunately."
"You have such a bad spirit, you don't want to be okay."
"The general will worry the general."
In this way, Xue Ziqin was very displeased when you came and went, and he did not like this kind of thing at all. So after a few sentences, the two of them came down, Xue Ziqin couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and found something out of the shirt, and fell directly on Guo Linchong's chest: "You see what this is?"
If Xue Ziqin came in and asked these words suddenly, Guo Linchong didn't even realize it, that was impossible. The thing was thrown on his chest, although he hadn't picked it up yet, he already had a rough idea in his heart. I saw Guo Linchong stretched out his hand to pick up the thing—it was a letter. He opened the folded stationery and read it word by word.
This letter was accidentally obtained by Wei Lin and sent to Xue Ziqin.
Although there is not much to say above, it has been proved that Guo Linchong and Cao Zhongan are both disciples of Zuoxiang Shangxu. The problem is simply that the disciple of Shang Xu is nothing. The problem is that Cao Zhongan was once a spy. Now his real identity is a famous general of the Sui Kingdom. Then the Shang Xu who communicated with him by letters and Guo Linchong, a brother of the same master, are treasonous traitors.
After reading this letter, Guo Lin had a slight tremor in his fingers. I wondered whether it was because of the pain or the panic caused by the truth being revealed.
Guo Lin took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and said to Xue Ziqin: "The general has something to say."
"Okay." These words are in line with Xue Ziqin's intentions. They are so inconsistent with his character. "The night the old man was stabbed by a pedestrian, where were you?"
"In the general's palace."
"Where is Fuchu?"
"At the back door."
"doing what?"
"Response."
"Cao Zhongan enlisted as a recruit from Yanzhou, and it was you who worked hard."
"Yes."
"The news that the Ninth Prince was in the Northern Army was also released by you."
"……Yes."
"Guo Linchong, I didn't know you were so suffocating before." After asking such a series of questions, Xue Ziqin looked at Guo Linchong with a smile, his expression elusive. Guo Linchong did not dare to look at him directly, so he turned his eyes elsewhere and continued: "The end will be ... involuntarily."
"You can't help yourself in the north? I don't think it's accurate enough. It's better to say that you have always been in Cao Ying's heart!" Xue Ziqin's voice suddenly became louder, and it was obvious that he could not restrain his anger.
As soon as this remark came out, despite his weakness, Guo Linchong quickly got down from the couch and knelt in front of Xue Ziqin: "I will be guilty at the end!"
"Guilty?" Xue Ziqin asked in return, "Why are you guilty ?!"
"General, I am indeed a disciple of Master Zuo Xiangshang, and I also went out with Zhong An as a teacher, but I have never done anything to be sorry for the general!" Guo Lin hurriedly said.
"Zhong An? Huh, your brothers and sisters sound very good." Xue Ziqin smiled without anger.
"Now that the crown prince was killed in the military camp, the Xue family is duty-bound. Is this worthy of me?"
"The matter of the Great Prince is not what I did! General Ming Jian!" Then, Guo Lin knocked his head on the ground with full weight.
Last night, Zhou Xiao and Jiang Yetan heard the conversation, and indeed they could hear that Guo Linchong was not a participant in the matter of the great prince. After clarifying the intricate relationship between them, Guo Linchong was really a merchant, and it was even more impossible to murder the great prince. Although Shang Xu had never helped anyone on the surface, as the teacher of the great prince, it was normal to help the great prince eradicate dissidents and seek the throne.
Xue Ziqin didn't speak, and Guo Linchong continued with his head on the cold ground: "The end will know that there is something wrong, but I hope that the army will learn from the end, and the end will be sincere to the general! As a disciple, the teacher's life will have to follow, big In the case of the assassination of the general, I only got news that he assisted the assassins to go in and check whether there was evidence of treason in the general ’s palace. I wonder if they would kill the killer! "
"You continue."
"Yes!" Hearing Xue Ziqin's words, Guo Linchong raised his head and looked at him gratefully.
Others may not know it, but after following Xue Ziqin for so long, Guo Linchong certainly understands that Xue Ziqin is giving him the opportunity to argue.
"As for the matter of the Ninth Prince, it will be revealed at the end that it will be guilty. But Zhong An entered the Northern Army. Although he is a spy, he can help the Xue family!"
"Oh? The Xue family almost suffered because of this. Does this help the Xue family?"
"The general knows that the Xue generals of the three generations are the masters of Gong Gaozhen. If the general really takes down Hanzhou, and then starts with this, he will eat the country step by step. Naturally, it is a great thing ... but at that step, the cunning rabbit died , The dog will cook, the emperor will not let the Xue family continue to develop like this. Since the ancient king was suspicious, when the Xue family really arrived on that day, how could the emperor be assured that the Xue family held heavy soldiers in their hands without rebellion? "
These words are quite reasonable. Xue Ziqin looked at him with complicated eyes.
Guo Linchong continued: "It is true that the last sin is unforgivable, but this time I killed the great prince, I have spoken back to the teacher, not by the Xue family. ! "
"You have been dormant with me for many years, and now I say this, how can I believe you."
After saying this, Xue Ziqin felt uncomfortable for a while.
For so many years, Min Qiu and Guo Linchong have been his powerful men, and they have also laid down their lives on the battlefield to save him. How could there be no emotion. This kind of brother of life and death suddenly told him one day that it was actually a fake and a spy ... Xue Ziqin's heart was really heartbroken and angry.
In the news I brought back last night, Guo Linchong wanted to cut off contact there, and Xue Ziqin was actually secretly happy for a while.
Now that the truth is clear, he somehow accepted it.
"Last general ..." Guo Linchong knocked down again, this time more vigorously than last time, and he made a noise, saying, "The final death should be punished, and let the general dispose, no complaints."
Xue Ziqin remained silent for a long time.
With such remarks alone, he no longer doubted Guo Linchong and returned to the relationship of pushing the heart and heart, then he Xue Ziqin was not worthy of being a general. As the saying goes, there is no doubt about the use of the person, but the suspect is not necessary. Now that he suspects that Guo Linchong is a traitor, reason tells him that even if this is true, he should not believe it.
But Xue Ziqin was never a cold-hearted person.
On the contrary, he has a clear love and hatred.
After thinking for a long time, Xue Ziqin said at the beginning: "You raise your head to speak."
Guo Linchong raised his head according to the words and looked at him. Also because of the injury on his body, his emotions were agitated, and his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, but he couldn't hide the sincerity in his eyes.
Years of life and death together finally defeated Xue Ziqin's reason.
He said in a deep voice: "Even if I forgive you this time, I will never be able to believe you again in the future."
"The end will know."
"Depending on your due diligence, I will give you a way of life." Xue Ziqin said, "Care up, let's go."
"General, I ..." "No need to say, if we are just friends, I would like to believe that you used to be a last resort, and I know you too, with a strong sense of meaning and a justification." Guo Linchong also wanted to say something , But was interrupted by Xue Ziqin, "But I am a general. If I make any mistakes, it will kill my ten thousand soldiers, or even kill the innocent people, I can't."
When he said this, he kept looking at Guo Linchong's eyes, his eyes deep but firm, and he concealed many words that he didn't need to say.
In fact, Guo Linchong understands the truth, but when he told the jointer that he would never help again, he had expected that he would continue to battle Xue Ziqin in the battlefield and be born and die for him.
Not killing him is already Xue Ziqin's greatest kindness.
"Guo Linchong is here ..." Guo Linchong said, biting his lower lip and kowtowing for the third time, "Thank you General for not killing me!"
Xue Ziqin did not answer this sentence again. He stood up, intending to leave, and saw the chair he had just sat down in, just angrily kicked it down with a loud noise. Then Xue Ziqin didn't look back. He didn't look at Guo Lin, who was still kneeling on the ground, and gave out the camp account.
Outside the sky was just right, Xue Ziqin was dazzled by the sudden light, he closed his eyes, reached for his eyelids and rubbed his eyes, and left.
