Chapter 274: With You
Of course, Su Xi knew what Jing Hao meant, since he had the strength of the Seventh Prince, he was still a rigorous and meticulous person, so he naturally had already told his subordinates that he couldn't let go of suspicious people.
In the consciousness of the Seventh Prince, he had already decided that Jing Hao was dead, and now the only one he wanted to arrest was Su Xi.
Undoubtedly, the two of them are sending themselves into the wolf's mouth, but whether they can be eaten or not depends not only on the soldiers of the Seventh Prince, but also on the ability of the two to hide and deal with them.
The matter was urgent, and Su Xi also knew that she had no other path to choose.
"Okay, I'm with you. This is Su Xi's response to Jing Hao's inquiry, and it is also the recognition and affirmation of his decision.
It was noon, if the emperor sent his father-in-law to announce the decree again, Jing Hao and Su Xi's time was even more urgent, the two observed for a while, the troops stationed were mainly concentrated on the other side of the bushes far away from the path, and there were guards on this road, but there were only four people, and they all looked idle.
Jing Hao and Su Xi unconsciously looked at Su Xi's horse......
The four people who were wandering on the road were chatting about meat jokes to relieve boredom, while standing guard boredly, waiting for the shift change.
Suddenly, a horse rushed from the side of the road, and the four of them were stunned for a moment, still wondering where this horse came from, but in the blink of an eye, it was already close, and a panicked and hasty look suddenly appeared on their faces, and they dodged to the side.
After the horse left, the four people suddenly reacted, looked at each other, and one of them raised his voice and said: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and chase it, what is on the horse's back, it must be intercepted?"
"But, what should I do here?" the person who considered the matter was quite thoughtful and hurriedly asked, but he also made a posture to chase, in this place where it was difficult to make meritorious contributions, he was already very discouraged, and finally received an order from his superiors, saying that he wanted to pay attention to the pedestrians who came and went, and they had to pass the inspection to see if there were any suspicious people, they were arresting a woman, and the portrait had already been seen.
Everyone knows that this is an excellent opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and if they can really make meritorious contributions, they will not need to stand guard in this wilderness in the future.
At the beginning, everyone was still full of confidence and had a good hope of being promoted, but with the passage of time and the passage of time, not to mention the arrest of key criminals, even people rarely pass by on this road, so how can they make meritorious contributions.
The will has been gradually worn out, and the blood that once wanted to make meritorious contributions has also been consumed.
"Although this place is not far from the capital, it is a place where birds don't, and after waiting for so many days, I can't even see a ghost, how can I catch people. Someone complained.
"Not necessarily, if a pie falls on your head one day, maybe you will have done a great job, and you will no longer have to be on duty in this poor place. ”
The other joked at him, and the others laughed along.
In fact, everyone hopes that this pie can fall on their heads, at least, just like the person just said, there is finally a chance to make meritorious contributions, and after making meritorious contributions, they are really out of this invisible day.
At this time, there is still a fluke mentality in people's hearts, but the longer the time, this longing has become a joke in everyone's hearts, and sometimes they occasionally chat, and everyone just cooperates with the laughter, but they don't think too much, or rather, it is impossible to think too much, because for meritorious service, almost no hope is gone.
Today is different, finally a little different, no matter where the horse came from or where it went, if it can be recovered, some information can be found from the package on the horse's back, and the information that is useful to the Seventh Prince, isn't it also meritorious?
These four people have the same thoughts, who cares if there is anyone stationed here, not to mention that someone will come to change shifts in a while, and this little gap in the middle is not worth mentioning at all in their opinion.
Under the gaze of Yu Suxi and Jing Hao, the four of them followed closely all the way in the direction where the horses left.
Su Xi rode with Jing Hao, and took advantage of the arrival of the people in the shift, and galloped away quickly.
How far can those four people run on two legs, but when they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, they didn't have time to return, and watched Jing Hao gallop away with Su Xi with a stunned and regretful expression on his face, and even forgot to call his colleagues.
After the four of them reflected, where could they still see the figures of Jing Hao and Su Xi, the cold wind blew, and they all had a cold war, everything, as if it had never happened, there were no traces, even the horse that was used as a bait at the beginning, was gone.
"Today's matter, no one is allowed to say it, we all know it very well in our hearts, if the Seventh Prince knows about this matter, the consequences will be unimaginable, if you want to live, your mouth will be tighter. ”
At first, the person who instigated the crowd to follow was scared and had to say something as if it was "for your good".
He was right, and the other three couldn't even find any reason to refute it.
They are more desperate for their lives than for meritorious service.
Su Xi and Jing Hao were rushing to the capital with all their might, while Shen Qi and Su Li of the Hou Mansion were facing a more severe situation.
Gonggong Cao came to announce the decree again, and this time he saw Wei Wuhou no matter what.
"Manager Shen, don't be embarrassed by the miscellaneous family, this is the emperor's will, and the miscellaneous family has no choice, even if you see it today, you have to see it, and if you don't see it, you have to see it. If you can't see Wei Wuhou, you can't pass on the emperor's message, and the miscellaneous family won't go back, and when the emperor sends someone to ask, the miscellaneous family will tell the truth, what measures the emperor will take, and the miscellaneous family will not be able to say. ”
Gonggong Cao has been here three times, this is the fourth time, and the emperor has no way to deal with him, so he is really angry.
The previous three times he was easy to talk about and discuss, but the emperor was angry at him, who else could he be angry at, and he could only vent his dissatisfaction to the Hou Mansion, fortunately, it was the governor, not Wei Wuhou.
As soon as Shen Qi heard this, Gonggong Cao couldn't bear it, and looked at the government and the opposition, he was afraid that only Wei Wuhou was the only one to bargain with the emperor like this, even if it was not out of his original intention.
"Father-in-law Cao, I've bothered you, but Master Hou, he really has a contagious disease, aren't I afraid that it will infect you?"
Shen Qi's words were repeated over and over again, and the meaning remained the same, I don't know how many times he had said it to Gonggong Cao, knowing that the other party didn't like to hear it, but he still had to say it.
Gonggong Cao waved his hand, his face was pale, this time he was determined to see Wei Wuhou, he couldn't even save his life in the emperor's place, where did he care about any infectious diseases or the like.
