King Jiangxia had been in the army for many years and had always been healthy. Not to mention that he was beaten to death, he rode a fierce horse, took a bow and arrow, and shot a few deer. However, Guo Mian's statement, he was infected with wind and cold just after he started to leave Jiangling. At first, he just burst into tears and coughed. The doctor saw it and said it was not a problem. When he arrived in Xunyang, he suddenly couldn't get up, and could not see the wind, light, and all the soldiers. Only Yan Wan was ordered to go in and out and see her daily life.

Later, King Jiangxia's condition became more and more serious, and sometimes he was unconscious. Yan Wan no longer reported everything. He made a decision on all the correspondence between military and government affairs, including all the correspondence exchanges with frontline generals such as Tan Xiaozu, but the arrangements were made appropriately. The tone, format and solution of the writing seemed to be really from King Jiangxia, and it was nonsense.

This ability is really great, so no one has doubted it except Guo Mian, who is hiding in the dark and staring at him!

In fact, no wonder others are slow. Yan Wan is both a leader and a confidant. King Jiangxia is a strong man and obeys the rules. No one would have thought that he would dare to send a false order. However, the war ahead was fierce, and the central army and the Jingzhou army each had their own advantages and disadvantages. If there was chaos first in the interior, the balance of victory would tilt to the other side. If Jinling knew that King Jiangxia was seriously ill and gradually collapsed, the morale of Jingzhou might be disintegrated, and the Jingzhou army would be defeated. One of them became more and more popular, not to mention that there was no hope of victory, even if you wanted to retreat to Jingzhou to be a vassal state again, it would be a delusion.

Yan Wan is so bold, maybe she has to do it!

Xu You knew the difficulties, but he had to admire Yan Wan's decisiveness and courage. He looked at Guo Mian. In the past, this loyal old slave always respected An Xiuruo as His Highness, but this time he kept calling King Jiangxia. His alienation and indifference were beyond words, and even said heart-wrenching words, with a little pleasure... His heart moved slightly and suddenly said, "The Third Highness just died the night before. You sent someone to Xuzhou ten days ago. It can be seen that the Third Highness's life is not long... He was just a cold person, even if he was terminally ill, a famous doctor accompanied him, and someone was ginseng and was silenced, and he would never say that he would die. Maybe after a few days, his health would be better. Guo, things have come to this point, so you must not hide anything anymore. Otherwise, how the situation will develop in the future will no longer be controlled by you and I..."

Guo Mian smiled, her thin face covered with rugged wrinkles, and she looked like a ghost in the underworld in the candlelight, saying: "Although it has not been officially tested, I am sure that King Jiangxia died of poisoning. The person who poisoned was the singer I mentioned to you before, who was called by Yan Wan and gave to King Jiangxia after being called by Yan Wan. She is indeed a remnant of six days, and only six days of poison can be penetrated without knowing it..."

Xu You was not surprised. The one who could poison King Jiangxia must be the people around him. The only one who was the most suspicious was this singer who was once suspected by Guo Mian.

However, he remembered that when he parted, he had instructed Guo Mian to verify the identity of the singer as soon as possible and eliminate the danger invisible. However, judging from the current situation, Guo Mian had obviously confirmed that the singer was a person of six days, but strangely did not take any action.

Xu You didn't ask, he was waiting for Guo Mian's explanation.

"Qilang, I am Xing Yu, I cannot be humane. I finally took a baby whose parents died, and died before getting married. I have no place to come, no place to go, no concern, and no reluctance to leave. The only hope is to follow Jiangxia King and lay out his future, get rid of his enemies, and then quietly watch him safe." Guo Mian hunched over and stood up with the table. Every step he took, he let out a deep breath. When he arrived in front of the window, he pushed open the two windows and looked up at him.

Mingyue said leisurely: "Although I am a lowly slave, I also regard the Jiangxia Palace as my own home. For more than 20 years, I have been doing my best. I have never been willing to slack off on what he has given me. I have obviously got 70% of the time, but I have to spend 10% of my hard work. If I get 10% of my hard work, I have to spend 120% of my hard work. But what can I get in the end? I am suspicious, neglected, alienated, humiliated... I am useless to bully me when I was old, and I was urged by Yan Wan, and I abandoned myself like a piece of grass and expelled from the palace without even thinking about the love of twenty years..."

"Yes, you must say that since ancient times, there is no affection for the imperial family, only power? But I am different, different..." Guo Mian shed tears and winded down the wrinkles on his face, saying, "I have been holding him since the day he was born, taking care of his daily life, playing with him, teaching him to study, and accompanying him in the past. Although he is a master and servant, he is actually a relative. He often expresses his admiration to me, and he must have a beginning and an end to achieve a good story..."

Tears dried up, Guo Mian's expression gradually calmed down, and a faint coldness floated in his eyes, saying, "Once the Jinling business is over, King Jiangxia ascends the throne to the emperor, Yan Wan will find an excuse to ask for an order to kill me. Whether it is poisoned wine or white silk, it is better to take the initiative instead of waiting!"

Since we met, Xu You's understanding of Guo Mian has been roughly a completely positive image such as gentle, calm, generous, and courageous. But at this time, the old man finally showed off his fangs. Even King Jiang Xia, who was already at the top of the world, could not avoid being bitten to death by him.

horrible!

It's also sad!

Guo Mian's tragedy is that he regards his boss as his own person. This is the same as the principle of working in later generations. The boss can treat you as his own person, but you must not take it for granted and treat your boss as his own person.

"So you sit and watch the singer ignore the poison. When King Jiangxia dies from poisoning, you will then pull the singer out. You can just implicate Yan Wan and get rid of this enemy..."

"The enemy? It's right!"

Thinking of Yan Wan, Guo Mian showed a little ridicule in his eyebrows and eyes, and he threw it away in a flash. He turned around, looked at Xu You, and whispered: "Qilang, King Jiangxia is dead, it seems unfavorable, but it is actually of great benefit to you!"

Xu You sighed and said, "Without King Jiangxia, the battle situation is a hundred times more dangerous. What are the benefits?"

"Although this time, Qilang wandered around and made great contributions, after all, his personal relationship with King Jiangxia was too shallow. After all, he was in charge of Jinling, and the old people from the royal palace were still Yan Wan, who was the one who really controlled the power. At most, he would be the governor of Zhongzhou and a flashy general. He would be far away from the center and his career would be ups and downs. He could not help himself. If I could still say anything and make a bridge between them, he might get a share of the pie, but now I can't protect myself. Yan Wan is also petty and will definitely take his anger on you because of your relationship. Qilang, there is an emperor's close minister who speaks bad words every day in his ears, and no matter how great the credit is, it will not be able to protect..."

"It's over here, it's useless to say too much... Mr. Guo, is Yan Wan still alive?"

Xu You interrupted Guo Mian, although it was because of the tight time and deeper level, because his words pointed to the darkest corner deep in Xu You's heart. The three armies must be mastered. King Jiangxia died, and only King Linchuan could succeed. If Linchuan was the king, wouldn't his serious brother-in-law have risen? In addition, King Linchuan is not as rich as King Jiangxia's family, and there are not many capable people in the throne. If he wants to withdraw military power, intimidate the ministers, and stabilize the court, he must rely on Xu You.

For some people, it is the same as the emperor, but for Xu You, it is completely different, it is simply a difference between heaven and earth! For example, Xu You gave the blood edict of King Jiangxia, but did not give the imperial seal. What is his mind's plan? Who can tell me clearly?

"I'm not old and confused yet. Of course Yan Wan can't die now. I've locked him up and waited for Qilang to fall." Guo Mian knew that Xu You understood what he meant and no longer talked about this matter. He said: "The top priority is to ask the King of Linchuan to Jiangning to discuss and recall Tan Xiaozu. As long as he convinced him, Xue Xuanmo and Dan Tai Douxing were not worth worrying."

Xu You nodded and said, "I'll go see King Jiangxia, and then leave the city immediately and report to King Linchuan!"

The reason why Xu You came to Jiangning first instead of going back to the King of Linchuan was because Guo Mian knew that Xu You had to see King of Jiangxia's body with his own eyes before he could believe him.

It is of great importance, and no one can guarantee whether Guo Mian has set up a trap for Xu You. If he went back stupidly and invited the King of Linchuan to Jiangning, but was hit by the King of Jiangxia to eliminate dissidents, it would be a joke.

King Jiangxia was lying in the bedroom where he usually lived, with ice piled on the bed to prevent the corpse from rotting too quickly. The guards inside and outside were still as usual. Except for a few people, the others did not know that King Jiangxia was dead.

Xu You stood beside the bed with his hands in his arms, and Qingming leaned over and carefully tested it. No emotional fluctuations could be seen from his face. After a while, Qingming whispered: "It's poisoning! The toxicity starts not strong, and it can be cured in fashion. It can slowly accumulate to the lungs and then use medicine to trigger it, so it will be hard for the immortal to save it."

Xu You looked at Guo Mian and said, "Where is the singer?"

"I've been killed by poisoning. Qilang has also seen the six-day tricks. It's too difficult to catch him alive! However, I already know the way she contacted the outside world. I've also sent messages on time these two days. I shouldn't be sure whether King Jiangxia is alive or dead in six days."

Guo Mian did things without any loss. If the timing was not right, Xu You would have wanted to praise him and said, "Where is Yan Wan?"

"Closed next door! Do Qilang want to see him?"

"Let's keep it closed first. When the King of Linchuan arrives in Jiangning, it's not too late to see him again!" Xu You stopped hesitating and said, "I'll leave the city soon. You stay here and help Mr. Guo with help."

This is expected. Qingming is the young master. With his force, he can suppress any abnormal movements. Guo Mian did not refuse and said, "Okay, Qilang go quickly and return!"

Xu You was about to leave, but he stopped again and asked without looking back: "I'm a little curious. There are so many guards around King Jiangxia, Yan Wan can command them to resist. Why did Mr. Guo stabilize the situation so easily?"

Guo Mian seemed to be talking about a trivial matter and said: "Yang Chun, the head of the guard, received my great kindness eight years ago..."

What else could Xu You say? He pushed open the door and disappeared into the misty moonlight.
