Chapter 413: Chess Pieces
Dumb Zhang's smile was also bitter: "The little one can't help but calm down, master, you have been specially trained since you were a child, and you are especially sensitive to fine work and dark piles." If a small one is careless, it is nothing to harm myself, but if I hurt you, my master, I will be guilty of too much. Master, you just said that you are going to the southwest, do you want to recognize the prince? ”
Yu Zhengran shook his head and snorted coldly: "The King of Northern Qi has spent so much manpower, silver, and time to 'cultivate' me, how can I live up to his love?" I want to go to the southwest, just to sneak a peek at my father, and now is not the time to get to know each other. ”
Dumb Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, Yu Zhengran has longed for family affection since he was a child, and he looked forward to returning to his father and siblings. Now that I know that Prince Yong is my biological father, I naturally can't wait to see him immediately to comfort my relatives.
But Yu Zhengran is also a high-pressure and intensive training since childhood, a meticulous strategist and general, and extremely protective of shortcomings, and in some respects can even be said to be narrow-minded.
The king of Northern Qi kidnapped the young Zhengran and set up a vicious and heart-wrenching conspiracy, how could Yu Zhengran let him go so easily? And the most powerful and "ruthless" way of revenge is to use the plan, use the way of others to control the body of others, and let the king of Northern Qi taste the taste of the chess pieces cultivated by himself.
Yu Zhengran crumpled the piece of information into a ball and held it in the palm of his hand, and after a while, when he released his palm, white powder flew all over the place.
"Dumb Zhang," Yu Zhengran suddenly smiled, "It's business as usual, except for the secrets in our hearts, everything else is the same as before." I have to put a long line to catch a big fish, and I want to give a big gift to my father and uncle. Want to calculate our Prince Yong's mansion and our father and son? I want some people to know what it means to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot. ”
Yu Zhengran's seemingly breezy smile is resolute. And with a hint of ruthlessness.
The dumb chapter nodded in response. He decided to lurk by Yu Zhengran's side for a long time. On the one hand, it is to protect Yu Zhengran and determine Yu Zhengran's true identity, and on the other hand, it is also to "put a long line and catch a big fish".
Soon, Yu Zhengran and Dumb Zhang sent two more groups of people to the southwest and southeast respectively, strengthening the communication line with these two places. Now that his identity has been determined, Yu Zhengran must not let his father and younger brother be harmed in the slightest.
……
The Palace in the southwest corner of the palace is one of the largest palaces in the palace, because it has a large garden, and the palace is located in the garden. It was directly called Gowaen. The Imperial Garden is a unique place to live, and it has been the residence of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager since the previous dynasty.
The cool breeze in the Yuhe Garden is quiet and pleasant, the ancient trees in the garden are towering, the hundred-year-old mulberry trees, apricot trees, and sour jujube trees, etc., decorate the whole garden solemnly and solemnly. Except for the new shoots, the trunks and branches of the old trees here look almost dry, giving people a pale feeling.
When you enter the Imperial Garden, you can see the crooked branches on the ground and the dry dry trees proudly emptying everywhere. Some are like birds, some are like snakes. Some are like dragons, some are plausible, and you can't see anything at first, when you have an image in your mind, follow the image, and the more you look at it, the more it looks, the more it looks, even to the point where you have both form and spirit. After gazing for a long time, it seems that the heavens and the earth are spinning, and the entire garden is rotating with the sky, giving people the illusion of psychedelia.
Because of these tree trunks, the Imperial Garden adds three points of gloomy mystery, making people who enter the garden for the first time involuntarily want to shiver.
There is a Buddhist hall in the Imperial Garden, which is the same age as the garden, like an ancient temple.
At this time, there was an old woman in her sixties kneeling on the bright yellow cushion in the middle of the Buddhist hall, dressed in black, full of silver threads and holding an old hosta, gently closing her eyes, with no expression on her face, this old woman was the empress dowager Xiao of the dynasty.
In Xiao's hand was a string of rosewood Buddha beads, which rotated faintly with the Buddha name in her mouth.
The Buddha stopped for a while, and a palace maid in her thirties came over with a jade cup: "Lafayette, drink some orange juice and add honey." ”
Xiao Shi slowly opened his eyes, and a fine light flashed in his cloudy eyes: "Ya'er, it's fifteen again today, right?" ”
The palace maid known as Ya'er replied: "Yes, Mama Hui went out to the garden in the middle of the afternoon, and she should be back at this time." "Ya'er has been following the Empress Dowager since she entered the palace at the age of eight, and was trained by the Empress Dowager's personal palace maid Hui Mama, and now it can be said that she is the second person next to the Empress Dowager, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the Imperial Garden call her Aunt Ya.
As soon as Aunt Ya's words fell, the door of the Buddha hall creaked open, and Mama Hui, who was also dressed in black and combed a simple bun, walked in and personally waited for the Queen Mother to drink orange juice before giving Aunt Ya a look.
Aunt Ya took the empty cup out of the house, gently brought the door, and said to the two palace maids in Tsing Yi who were guarding the door: "You go and see how Lafayette's dinner is prepared today, I can just keep it here." ”
The two palace maids hurriedly bent down and turned away.
In the Buddhist hall, Mama Hui took out a thin bamboo pipe, which was buried in the potted plant that had just been sent to the Imperial Garden today.
Mama Hui carefully took out a very finely rolled paper strip from the bamboo pipe, spread it out on the table, and picked out some incense ash from the incense burner on the offering table, stirred it up in the tea, and slowly smeared it on the paper. Soon, dense words appeared on the note.
Mama Hui read the contents of the note, and the Queen Mother's face showed a complicated expression, including joy, thought, calculation, and a touch of long-suppressed hatred.
After the Empress Dowager nodded, Mama Hui put the note in the incense burner and lit it, which was quickly burned to ashes. The Empress Dowager pondered for a pillar of incense, and said quietly: "It's time for us to go out." Megumi, did you get all the information you asked to collect about those people last time? ”
Mama Hui nodded: "Lafayette, don't worry, you can get it all tomorrow at the latest." Now Concubine Zhao and the eldest aunt and grandmother of Prince Yong's Mansion are in our hands, but it is said that although the Lord of Fuxing County is young, he is very cautious and sophisticated, and I am afraid it is not easy to calculate. ”
The Empress Dowager frowned: "A girl in the market, but she is smarter, luckier, and Na Liu'er taught her some calculations, so it is not a problem." The important thing is that we have to find a way to contact Yu Zhengran's as soon as possible. That is the most important and lethal weapon we have. ”
Mama Hui said with a smile: "Lafayette's analysis is that Yu Zhengran doesn't have to worry about it, the prince has spent so much time, energy and manpower to create such a chess piece, and naturally he will not disappoint Lafayette." According to the information we have gotten, Yu Zhengran is full of admiration for Lafayette, and as soon as he entered Beijing, he was eager to rescue Lafayette immediately, and has been trying to get news of Lafayette all these years.
