Chapter 44: Bloody Insider
The news that Gu Li came to Nanyang flew out like wings, and for a while, the courtyard gate of Yunzi No. 2 was like a market, as long as it was a business, whether it was a dignitary or a trader, some were willing to cooperate with Li Cheng, and some were bleak and asked for advice, of course, Gu Li's threshold was very high, and the meeting fee was five hundred taels of silver, and he would only have three people a day.
Gu Li's room has changed slightly, the room is hung with heavy curtains, she sits in a shadow, and the person who came happened to be sitting in a brightly lit place, so the people who have met are more mysterious, and the storytelling about Gu Li in the teahouse is the most popular, especially the story about the 'beauty drunk' who falsely became a powerful Yasukuni Mansion became more and more intense, and finally someone concluded that the young man was actually Gu Li himself.
In order to taste the 'beauty drunk', some people do not hesitate to take a boat to the fragrant building in Yujiang City, but unfortunately the 'beauty drunk' in the fragrant building is not sold out, and everyone can only sigh.
Here, Gu Li was busy collecting cashiers, and over there, Bai Liyao and the King of Nanyang met a few times and brought Shi Dayong, and Su Pengkong and Feng Yan entered the Nanyang Palace's mansion at night.
When the three of them saw the king of Nanyang kneeling down in the study, Shi Dayong's face was solemn, Feng Yantie's face was blue, Su Pengkong's remorse was difficult, and he burst into tears: "Thank you Nanyang King for trusting the three of our brothers, for more than a year, the five of us brothers are frightened and have a bad conscience, although they are alive, they are like walking corpses, if it weren't for the day when they were escorted to the execution ground and died again, we were afraid that we would still be shrinking turtles." ”
King Nanyang's face was not much better, since he received the letter from Baili Yunji, he couldn't sleep at night, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the miserable corpse of his son.
Baili Yunji said that he would always hear his son's cry when he dreamed back at midnight, and he couldn't be it.
He is already an old bone, it doesn't matter if he dies or not, but his son died too unjustly, if he can't avenge it, what face does he have to see his son under Jiuquan.
In just three days, he seemed to be a teenager old.
"People don't destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake, not to mention that you drag your children and daughters are being hunted down and killed, and this king does not blame you. Tell us about the scene! ”
It was Shi Dayong who spoke.
He said that after receiving a secret letter, a group of bandits had mixed into the team escorting the prince and was ready to attack at Tumen Pass, and he asked us to disguise ourselves as bandits to lead out the hidden bandits and eradicate them in one fell swoop, saying that this matter is related to the stability of the border between the two countries, and we must be cautious and keep it secret. I took more than 100 people, usually half stayed in the mountains, half took advantage of the night to approach the escort, who knew that they had already laid an ambush, just waiting for us to enter the set, a fierce battle began, both sides suffered countless casualties, the night was too dark, it was too dark to see the other side's men and horses just blindly fighting, more than 100 people were left with only more than 10 people, and there were only three people left in the escort team. On the eve of dawn, by a little light of the morning light, I saw the prince leaning on the carriage with an arrow stuck in his chest, and at night we did not bring an arrow at all. Step by step, we stepped back, protecting the Son behind us. Shizi intermittently said that he had received a secret letter from Commander Chen that there would be a bandit attack tonight, and asked him to deploy, and they would arrive later. It dawned on me, but it was too late to know, Commander Chen had five henchmen, although he changed his clothes and wore a hat, I still recognized him, and the prince also seemed to recognize the person with the cloak covering his face next to Commander Chen......"
