14. Chop the North
Li Daniu took Yu Junyan's token, went out of the mansion smoothly, walked according to the route that Yu Junyan had told him in advance, walked around the corner, and saw that the guards of the palace could no longer see the carriage, so he stopped the car and said, "Lord, we have arrived." ”
Only then did Yu Junyan let go of Su Yuheng and asked sharply, "Why did you run out?!" ”
Su Yuheng looked aggrieved, looked at Yu Junyan with big eyes, and said innocently: "I'm kicking the shuttlecock, and when I see you in the car, I'll say hello to you......"
Yu Junyan didn't know how to express to the fool in front of him that he wanted to slap him to death, but judging from the current situation, he must not be allowed to return to the palace, otherwise once he told the fact that he had seen himself leaving the mansion in a carriage transporting goods, his deployment in the mansion would be in vain. If you can't let him go back, you can only follow yourself. Yu Junyan said to Su Yuheng with a cold face: "From now on, you will follow me, and you will not leave an inch without my permission, you know?!" ”
"Oh......" Su Yuheng nodded lightly.
Li Daniu asked at this time: "Lord Wang, where are we going next?" ”
Yu Junyan replied: "This path goes to the head and turns right, and then turns left to the head to the avenue leading to Chobei, and you can go to Chobei County if you follow that road all the way." ”
"Okay." Li Daniu raised his horsewhip and drove towards the north, so that Yu Junyan took Li Daniu, who was not very bright, and Su Yuheng, who was not very bright, with a stern face, and embarked on the journey to the north.
Along the way, Li Daniu drove the car conscientiously, Su Yuheng was entertaining himself and fiddling with the colorful chicken feather shuttlecock in his hand, and Yu Junyan was quietly closing his eyes and recuperating, thinking about the next move to cut the north.
After arriving in Qibei County, Yu Junyan ordered Li Daniu to drive the carriage straight to the gate of the county government. Zhixian Gu Liang was worried about the fight against the Five Tigers, and when he heard the news that the king of You'an County was coming, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Are you sure you are not wrong?" How did King You'an come here? ”
The official said, "We don't believe it either, that's what the man said." Outside, a servant stopped them outside the house, and the younger ones came to report and ask the adults to decide. ”
Gu Liang pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go with you." ”
got up and followed the official to the gate of the county office, and saw that the purple-clothed and cold-faced son in the car was not the county prince he saw in the You'an Wangfu in Chonan that day, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Xiaguan Guliang asks for peace to the king of You'an County!" ”
When the officials saw that he was really the prince of the county, they hurriedly knelt down. Yu Junyan waved his hand, motioned for them all to get up, and said in a low voice: "Originally, this time it was a secret trip, don't make a noise." ”
Although Gu Liang didn't know what he meant, he still said obediently: "Xiaguan understands. ”
Yu Junyan got up and got out of the carriage, and Su Yuheng jumped down after him. Gu Liang looked at it, wasn't that person the princess of You'an, and wondered in his heart: The princess of this county didn't stay in their palace to enjoy Qingfu, what did she secretly do in Qibei County?
But it is not only a guest, not to mention that the prince and princess are here. Although they did not know the true purpose of their trip, they still had to fulfill the friendship of landlords as local officials. Inviting the prince and princess and their only entourage to the inner hall, Yu Junyan said to Li Daniu and Su Yuheng: "I have something to talk to Lord Gu, you go outside and wait for me first." ”
"Lord Wang......" Li Daniu scratched his hair and said, "Since they have all come to cut the north, can you let me go back to my home first, and then I will do things in the palace, and it is estimated that I will not come back, but my father's spiritual position is still at home, can you let me take him back to the palace to reunite with our family?" ”
Yu Junyan nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”
"I'll go too, I'll go!" As soon as Su Yuheng heard this, he came to his senses, grabbed Yu Junyan's arm and said, "Let me go with him." ”
Yu Junyan thought about it, Li Daniu went home, and Su Yuheng didn't know what trouble he would cause if he stayed outside alone, so he nodded and said, "Let's go together." He said to Li Daniu uneasily: "Protect the princess, how he goes, how he will come back." ”
Li Daniu nodded again and again, but Su Yuheng smiled bitterly in his heart: "Where are you protecting me, you are obviously afraid that I will make trouble and let that stupid big man spy on me." ”
Yu Junyan followed Gu Liang to the inner hall, and without waiting for him to speak, he expressed his intention: "I heard that there are many natural disasters in Qibei County, and robbers are everywhere, and Lord Gu has the ambition to do something practical for the people, but he can't do it. ”
Gu Liang was stunned for a moment, and when Yu Junyan said just now, every sentence said that he was in his heart. I think he was born in poverty, and he studied sages and sages since he was a child, hoping to gain fame and serve the country. At the age of twenty, Tanhua was an official in the imperial capital, but he was ostracized because he was unwilling to form a party with his colleagues, and he was even framed and relegated to be a small magistrate in this far away county. Although Gu Liang was disappointed, he did not feel sorry for himself, thinking that if he could be a good parent official on this side, he would be regarded as having achieved his dream since childhood. Although he has worked hard since he came to Chobei County, it is difficult for Qiao Woman to cook without rice, and natural disasters in Chobei County continue, ** Rise, he has written to the state government again and again to ask for support, but Lord Chi has turned a blind eye, and it is completely the attitude of letting Chobei County fend for itself. Seeing that the people were struggling to make a living, Gu Liang had to be in a hurry.
Yu Junyan observed the change in Gu Liang's expression, smiled slightly, and said, "I heard that there is a Five Tiger Gang in Qibei County, which is very rampant, can Lord Gu know about this?" ”
Gu Liang frowned, and said: "How can I not know that those five people have been rampant in Qibei County for many years, and their power is getting bigger and bigger, and they have formed a Five Tiger Gang to openly oppose the imperial court." I sent troops several times to arrest them, but the other side was outnumbered, and the first five people were strong in martial arts, and we ...... It's really not an opponent. ”
Yu Junyan said: "This king can help you exterminate the five tigers." ”
"What did the prince say?!" Gu Liang was taken aback, looked at Yu Junyan in surprise, and even suspected that his ears had heard it wrong.
Yu Junyan repeated: "This king said that he can help you exterminate the five tigers." ”
"Really, really?" Gu Liang still couldn't believe it, he knew that the king of You'an County had gone out with the army, and he was also named the general of the wolf by the first emperor because of his courage and good fighting, but since the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he made an order not to allow the prince to hold military power in his hands, and now that he has been stripped of his rights, how can he send soldiers and horses to help him exterminate the Five Tiger Gang.
Yu Junyan raised his eyebrows and said, "What, are you afraid that this king will not be able to deceive you?" ”
Gu Liang hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare! It's just that...... The Five Tigers Gang has a large number of people, and the prince has no military power now, in case of any mistakes, even if the ministers die, they will not escape their responsibility. ”
When Yu Junyan heard him say this, he laughed and said, "It's just a thief's nest, and you still need to work so hard?" This king alone is enough. ”
