Chapter 844: Trapping the Horse
"Xinli is a man of means, and the person who answers the letter must also be his confidant, and often makes the decision of the previous station for him. Such a quick reply shows that he is interested in the mutual aid we have proposed. At this time, we have already received a reply before the killer feature comes out, which is a good thing. ”
"Does Your Highness mention the widow of the late princess in your letter to them?" asked the steward.
"Don't be in a hurry, I forgot to tell you that the paper I used in my first letter to Xinli Khan was the same one he used to communicate with my little aunt. According to my prediction, he will quietly enter Beijing. At that time, we had already threatened my father in his name, and he would obey my wishes because of the old affection. The prince's gaze was full of certainty, "Everything will always appear at the right time." ”
As soon as the prince's voice fell, there was already a small servant outside the house, "The person sent by Uncle Guo to ask for a meeting is now outside." Waiting for His Highness to summon you. ”
***
When Uncle Guo arrived at Yonghe Mansion, Tang Licheng had already escorted the prisoners out of the city. As soon as the prefect of Yonghe Mansion saw Uncle Guo coming, he knew that the matter was not trivial, but he also felt more and more that it was an opportunity, and he was thinking about giving Uncle Guo a lot of gifts, begging him to make a difference for himself in the imperial capital. Who knew that this sentence had not yet been spoken, and as soon as Uncle Guo heard that Tang Licheng had left the city, he immediately took his men and horses out to chase him. This seems to be very different from the legendary saying that Uncle Guo only knows money and is greedy by nature.
Thinking that the queen's own brother had fed the bears on his own one-third of an acre, and he couldn't afford to be negligent, the prefect hurriedly stopped Uncle Guo and said, "The night is dark now, and there are many mountains and forests outside Yonghe City, and wild beasts are dense. Uncle Guo must not, go out of the city at this time, so as not to ......" The following words were stopped by Uncle Guo stretching out his horsewhip, "These nonsense of yours are my heart's words, but I can't do whatever I want with my hard work." There are many things that the great country needs us courtiers to go to the soup and fire. In the end, it was avoided because of misfortune. ”
After saying that, he ran out quickly. The prefect moved his lips and closed his mouth again, only behind him, and sent him off, "Uncle Guo can work hard." "Actually, to be honest, Uncle Guo really didn't want to chase him out in the middle of the night, but he just heard what the doorman meant, I'm afraid that tonight, too many people's eyes are staring at the guards who ran out in front. If he doesn't strike first, he will quickly go from active to passive. Just a little earlier, he had already revealed the whereabouts of the guards related to the Butterfly Golden Seal to the crown prince in the East Palace according to the advice of the doorman. To be honest, he wasn't worried, the prince immediately chased after him, after all, inside and outside the East Palace, there were full of internal guards. What he's really worried about now is that Mingqi. The yellow-mouthed child, unlike his father, was ambitious and had to intervene in everything. The previous few times, he didn't miss his way.
Right now, when he thought of the faint smile that Ming Qi always wore on his face, he felt a cool breeze swishing from the back of his neck. Then, unconsciously, he stepped up even faster! And along the way, Uncle Guo, who slowly calmed down, also seemed to have discovered something wrong, one of which was his suspicion of the person who had just given him advice. The key is the timing of this person's appearance, so just right to appear when he is desperate and has no way out, but as soon as he raises his hand, everything will be bright.
Now he already regretted a little that he had just listened to the words of the man and sent a letter to the prince. Such a secret, only he and the emperor know...... If the secret is leaked, there are only two people who can be held accountable by the emperor...... When fierce anxiety burned in his heart, he began to secretly rejoice that when he was about to leave his uncle's mansion, he sent two people to keep an eye on the whereabouts of that person.
At this time, those who remain should rush back and forth to report the situation.
The time he calculated was still accurate, and he thought about this matter, and there were two horsemen galloping behind him, and the two servants of the Uncle's Mansion who caught up with him returned to him, and the man finally returned to the Prince's Mansion! It seems that he is already very familiar with each other.
Uncle Guo's heart almost hung all the way, and finally slowly let go, "Could it be that I thought too much." My precious nephew, who came to my door for the first time to take care of me, doubted him so much. He has grown so big and finally become smart and sensible, which is really likable. "On the next journey, there are fewer entanglements before, and the mood is immediately better.
But drowsiness followed. It's a good night's sleep. But tonight is destined to sleep with the twilight of these dark nights.
A fierce night breeze blew, and the raindrops outside spread directly on his face, and he raised his hand and wiped it fiercely.
He was annoyed because of the cold raindrops, and because of the pain on his fat cheeks brought from his heavy wiping, "Why don't you wait for dawn to do it, it's awkward with people." He turned his head and closed his eyes again, counting in his heart, if he counted to three, someone would make a sound, and he would definitely be able to catch up tonight. If not, you can't catch up. One, two......
The guard, who was walking in the rain outside, suddenly shouted, "The road ahead has been washed away a lot by the previous rain, everyone must make up their minds, don't let the carriage get stuck in the mud puddle......
As soon as the words fell, the car that Uncle Guo was sitting in jammed, and Uncle Guo's head hit the roof of the car hard. Reaching out and touching it, a large bag was immediately formed. He had a little more strength to touch it, and it suddenly hurt him and grinned a little.
****
Ming Qi drank a few more cups of tea at Shanxiu's place before riding a horse from the other side of the rugged path to catch up with Uncle Guo's team. Originally, they should have caught up with the guard's men and horses a long time ago, but when they knew that Uncle Guo's carriage was stuck in the mud, the whole team stopped, and was busy pushing the carriage out of the mud.
However, the carriage sank very deeply, and the sky was once again covered with a violent storm, and the carriage was pushed for a long time, but it did not move at all. After observing, Ming Qi retreated into the depths of the forest with some idleness, pondering the benefits he gave to this doorman this time, and asked him to send letters to several parties in this way, in order to create an opportunity and get their reward. And both the prince and the uncle are extremely generous people. So this man must have gained a lot.
When he raised his head again, he saw a different lightning flash in the sky, but I am afraid that he was the only one in the entire imperial capital who knew that it was not real lightning, but a signal sent to him by that extremely smart person. This is the first time this person has come to the palace to contribute to Qiu Xi's family, but I have to say that he did a very beautiful job.
Guessing what was going on outside, Uncle Guo's face turned pale, he is a person with a heavy responsibility today, how can he be everywhere, is it because he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out. If you chase it like this, won't it make people fall 108,000 miles!
The guards came running to report the news, and swore that they would soon be pushed out of the car.
