Chapter 373: Killing Intent
When the flood broke out, as soon as the flood broke out, as the head of a country, what he should do should have been to discuss the flood relief with various personnel.
It was only because this was mixed with the kidnapping case of Gu Yuqing, which was like thunder on a sunny day, involving the emperor's heart, and Xiao Yu and Gu Zhen were involved in it, that the matter was temporarily shelved.
His eyes stopped on Xiao Yi and Xiao Duo for a moment, pointed at Xiao Yi, and the emperor said: "You immediately go to the place where the incident occurred with him, investigate the local situation clearly, who should be used, you can use it, you don't need to return to me again, you must minimize the casualties." ”
Xiao Yi got the order and was about to turn around immediately.
The emperor pondered for a moment, and then said: "The disaster relief after the flood will also be handed over to you to be fully responsible, this time, it is not trivial, you must be cautious." ”
Xiao Yi nodded, full of determination, "Erchen knows, my father can rest assured, Erchen will definitely handle things well." ”
As he spoke, he took the stationmaster and left with him.
It wasn't until Xiao Yi completely disappeared from the imperial study that Xiao Duo woke up in a nightmare, and after realizing what had happened, his heart trembled a few times, "Father, where are the ministers ......?"
The emperor glanced at him, with disappointment and annoyance in his eyes, and did not answer Xiao Duo's words, but said to the chamberlain: "Call me the commander of the forbidden army." ”
The commander of the forbidden army was on duty in the palace, and when he received the order, he went immediately.
"Take your people, together with the Jingwei camp, I will hand it over to you to mobilize, and assign a part of the people to assist the three princes to ensure that the order is orderly after the disaster, and the rest will all go to find the four princes and Gu Zhen. The emperor clenched his fists and ordered.
He said so on his lips, but in his heart he said it over and over again, you must not have anything to do.
How lethal the flash flood is, the emperor is not unaware.
But it is not that all the people in Cuiping Mountain will suffer, as long as they do not happen to be in the place where the flash flood must pass, there is still a possibility of survival.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.
The commander of the forbidden army led the order, and when he went out, he passed by a small chamberlain who ran in out of breath.
"Your Majesty, the servant went to Lord Lu's mansion to spread the word, but Lord Lu was not in the mansion. The chamberlain gasped and said, apparently rushing all the way back.
Absence?
The emperor suddenly rolled his eyes, and his eyes shot at Xiao Duo, "Lu Jiuzheng is your guarantor, I saved his life and let him continue to be an official in Beijing, but now there is such a thing, why did he kidnap Gu Yuqing!"
When Xiao Duo heard this, "plopping" means kneeling.
The knee hit the marble floor hard, making a loud noise, he didn't dare to frown, at this moment, the slightest quibble could lead to a fire, all he could do was to follow the emperor's words.
"The retainer is guilty, the retainer ...... Erchen really didn't know that Lu Jiuzheng had such a jackal heart and did such a thing, as for what he had with the Marquis of China, Erchen really didn't know anything. Xiao Duo kowtowed and pleaded guilty.
The emperor snorted coldly, "Don't think that if I don't say it, I don't know, you are desperately reporting to Lu Jiuzheng, in addition to his contribution to the matter of King Duan, the most important thing is not because he gave you a lot of gifts!"
Xiao Duo's heart trembled suddenly, and he knelt on the ground, touching his head to the ground, and he didn't dare to come out.
Since the emperor said it, if he denies it, it will add fuel to the fire.
As he was talking, the inner servant passed the word, and Dou Hengshu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, arrived, in front of outsiders, the emperor naturally did not want to publicize the ugliness of the family, glared at Xiao Duo in annoyance, and waved his hand to let him get up, "You go back to the house, and I will settle accounts with you tomorrow!"
Xiao Duo was stunned and trembled and withdrew.
The rain is still falling, but it's not as heavy as it was when it came, but it's just dripping, like cow's hair.
Changshun held an oil-paper umbrella on Xiao Duo's head, but Xiao Duo snatched it, folded it into two pieces with both hands, and threw it aside.
Frightened, Changshun hurried to pick it up.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" turned back, cautiously followed Xiao Duo's side, and asked.
Xiao Duo clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger, "Lu Jiuzheng, that idiot!"
Hearing that he mentioned Lu Jiuzheng, Chang Shun said: "Fortunately, Your Highness has something to delay, if you really go to the wooden house halfway up the mountain in Cuiping Mountain, and the flash flood occurs, then it will be okay." ”
Knowing that there was a flash flood in Cuiping Mountain, Changshun was fortunate to have half a pillar of incense.
It is really the ancestor who accumulates virtue, and the Bodhisattva blesses it!
I have to go to the Big Buddha Temple to light an everlasting lamp for the ancestors and ancestors.
Careful thoughts flashed, and Changshun said again: "I'm afraid that at this time, Lu Jiuzheng and Miss Gu are going to die in Cuiping Mountain, and I don't know if the secret guard sent to him by His Highness has gone down the mountain in time." It stands to reason that His Highness did not wait in the hut as agreed, and they would not have stayed there for long. ”
Changshun's words gave Xiao Duo some hope, but in the end, he was too angry in his heart, this hope was a drop in the bucket, but in a blink of an eye, Gu Yuqing, Gu Zhen, Xiao Yu and Lu Jiuzheng were all likely to die in Cuiping Mountain, and the dullness in Xiao Duo's heart was slightly reduced.
The father knew that he was willing to intercede to protect Lu Jiuzheng because he received a lot of silver from Lu Jiuzheng, and since the father did not say anything, he nodded and agreed, which shows that this matter is not worth mentioning in his father's heart.
This matter came out again, but it was just that his father was angry and angry, but he was not disturbed by this matter.
I'm just afraid that if Lu Jiuzheng can come back alive and confess him in front of his father, it will be bad.
There is also Gou Shengde, who was escorted back to the Marquis Mansion by Gu Zhen for personal interrogation, in case Gou Shengde couldn't bear Gu Zhen's means and recruited everything......
These are the things that Xiao Duo can't feel at ease the most at the moment.
No, none of them can live, none of them can live!
Taking a breath of the cold air with the rain in it, Xiao Duo said, "Let the people from Tianque come to see me." ”
Changshun turned his head, "Now, Your Highness." ”
"Nonsense! It's not now, do you have to wait until the Chinese New Year!" Xiao Duo was unhappy and angry.
Changshun was sprayed with saliva all over his face, his neck shrunk, and he ran away with his head in his hands, "The slave will go." ”
God, His Highness's roaring look is so terrifying, mother, almost scared me to death! Talk to His Highness in the future, but I can't get so close, don't dodge the guns and arrows, and finally be scared to death by His Highness, then my Changshun I reputation, won't it be ruined!
Chang Shun's heart was slandered for a while, Xiao Duo naturally didn't know it, dragged his heavy legs, and walked all the way out.
"Ah Qing...... Ah Qing ......"
Gu Yuqing closed her eyes tightly, only to feel that her body was floating and swaying, as if floating on the water, and a familiar voice came from her ears, calling her one by one, dull and low, but gentle.
Although Xiao Yu......'s eyes were not opened, he forcefully called out a name.
As soon as her voice came out, she felt her hands being held and placed on her lips, and a distinctly cold lip mark she felt fell from her fiery lips, and raised it again, and a voice came from her ears, "It's me, it's me!" choked up excitedly, "You're finally awake." ”
