Chapter 123: Heroes
"yes, that's a shame......"
Her words were very vague, I don't know if she was saying that it was a pity that Jinyiwei didn't catch anyone, or that it was a pity that the traitor died unexpectedly.
The palm of her hand was held in severe pain, and her eyes didn't dare to look at the sky-high fire, but her heart was almost bursting!
"What's wrong with you?"
Guangsheng saw that she looked in a trance, and felt a little strange.
"These knights of the brocade guards are here to arrest people and set fires, it's just lawless—look at the way those people dare to be angry and dare not speak!"
Xiao Gu was in a state of confusion, barely keeping calm and diverting the topic.
Silly girl...... If you know that I have decided to stay in the Jinyi Guard, what should I be afraid of?
Guangsheng was amused in his heart, and when he saw Xiao Gu's slightly panicked eyes, he suddenly felt depressed again: Did she also regard Jinyiwei as a flood beast?
If she knew the truth...... Will you look at me like this, even disgust and hatred?
Guangsheng was worried in his heart - he had never had such worries and fears in the chaotic army, and only a thought rose in his heart: Don't let her know the true identity of Lu Dao!
He had a ghost idea in his heart, but his mouth was reassuring: "The fire and smoke here are nothing to see, let's go back." ”
Xiao Gu hesitated in her heart: Yue Xianglou, an important stronghold, was found and destroyed, according to the rules of the Jinlan Society, the people present must leave as soon as possible, and preserving themselves is the first priority, but she is really worried about the life and death of the seventh brother - she didn't even see the corpse capital, how can she be willing!!
At this moment, she saw that there was a commotion on the other side of the fire, as if someone had come out with something—her heart was in her throat again.
"Young Master, let's go over and have a look."
She tugged at Guangsheng's sleeve, half coquettish and half pleading.
Guangsheng also wanted to take a look, but he didn't want to be called out that he was also a Jinyiwei, so he whispered in her ear with interest: "Let's sneak over and take a look, okay?" ”
Good! That's nice! The young master is really a good person!!
Xiao Gu nodded with teary eyes like pounding garlic, which greatly satisfied Guangsheng's male vanity. The two of them mingled in the crowd hand in hand, sneaking forward from the alley next to them.
The people of Jinyiwei were driving away the people viciously - but helplessly, Yue Xianglou was at the lively intersection of the city, and he drove wave after wave. At this time, the sergeant of the Jinyi Guard walked by carrying a corpse, and suddenly the crowd approached the corpse and pointed at it.
The corpse was charred and dry, and the pale red flesh was turned outside, and someone who looked up close couldn't help but vomit.
Is this the Seventh Brother?
Xiao Gu couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't dare to imagine that such a dry and terrifying body was the suave and graceful Qin Yao!
She shook her head and covered her lips - afraid she would cry the next moment.
The next moment, her eyes fixed on one point. Wide open in shock!
She saw that in addition to the five broken fingers, there was also a distinct bone knot on the burned and curled palm of the corpse—as if this man had a sixth malformed finger before he died!
In an instant, she remembered that when she came to Yuexiang Mansion before, Qin Yao introduced her to the young man who led the way-
"This monkey cub is my new apprentice, called Six Fingers."
'The rule of our pear orchard is that we can't use people with missing fingers and stumps, and in order to learn opera, he bites a white cloth wrapped in anesthetic. Cut it with a kitchen knife. ”
……
The sound was especially in her ears, and she was shocked in her heart, and immediately understood everything: it was this young man called Six Fingers, who stepped forward when the officers and soldiers attacked. Burn all the documents, dress up as the seventh brother and die!
The remnants of the brocade guards initiated sex and whipped them towards the crowd, and the people wailed and cried out in pain. The tide receded like a tide, and when he arrived at Guangsheng, he stood in front of Xiao Gu. At a glance at them, those people were shocked and were about to kneel down to salute, but they saw him pressing his hands on the ground, signaling that they didn't need to be polite.
Seeing that he was wearing an ordinary military uniform instead of the flying fish and unicorn costumes that symbolized the Jinyi Guard, those people were also clever and did not shout their identities, and Xiao Gu's heart fluctuated at this time, and he did not notice the abnormality under the ups and downs of his mood.
At this time, the two lieutenants shouted and brought in a man who was covered in bruises and limped to the ground.
"See, isn't this the person?"
Captain Yan was pulled by the hair and approached the charred corpse, and the smell of the scorching smell at the end of his nose trembled—he didn't know whether he was guilty or afraid.
"Let's see if it's true!"
Li Sheng shouted beside him, and Xiao Gu also reflected at this time: It was this person who betrayed the secret of the Jinlan Society!
She hid behind Guangsheng and stared at the man with a cold and hateful gaze, as if she wanted to cut his whole person with a thousand knives!
As if feeling his gaze, Captain Yan looked up at this side, but just happened to bump into Guangsheng's calm and waveless face, as if he had seen an evil ghost, he hurriedly lowered his head and carefully examined the corpse.
Xiao Gu secretly looked out, but saw that Captain Yan's gaze also stayed on the corpse's hand, and he suddenly sighed in his heart.
At this moment, her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and the noisy and noisy atmosphere was extremely dangerous in her heart-
Suddenly, Captain Yan spoke, "Yes, this is indeed the Seventh Prince, I was not mistaken!" ”
Xiao Gu's body finally relaxed when she heard this, and several times of joy and sorrow coupled with nervousness and exhaustion, her eyes went dark, and the whole person stumbled.
"What's wrong with you?"
Guangsheng hurriedly supported her and asked eagerly.
"I didn't have anything to do, but I was a little scared when I got closer......"
"Hurry up and go back with me, I'm not feeling well and I'm running around!"
Guangsheng complained while eagerly helping Xiao Gu to turn around and leave.
****
At night, everything is quiet, but a dragon battle is being staged in the main room of Jiahe Courtyard-
"I said it was okay a long time ago, but I was scared by the corpse."
Xiao Gu was holding a bowl of soup and medicine, but he refused to drink it with a bitter face.
"Are you bitter?"
Guangsheng looked coldly at her begging for mercy and playing soft and hard, but she didn't want to drink, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, and her beautiful face made Xiao Gu blush for a while, but then she reacted, and suddenly felt that her scalp was numb-
"You, what do you want to do...... Ahh ”
Xiao Gu jumped up and dodged back, but he couldn't escape Guangsheng's ruthless claws. She was brought back and brutally suppressed - someone took a small silver spoon and fed her little by little.
"It's calming, you're frightened today, and that's what happens."
Xiao Gu was fed three mouthfuls, and finally protested tremblingly, "Young Master......"
"You are not allowed to say that you will not drink, and you are not allowed to cry bitterness."
The tyrant ruthlessly rejected her complaint in advance, and once again put a spoonful of medicine into her mouth.
Bitter...... It's so bitter!
The worst thing is that this bastard is still fed with a small spoonful!
Have you been drugged you!
This will cause people to die!!!
Xiao Gu finally broke out and snatched the medicine bowl from his hand. After drinking it in one gulp, he snorted and said, "That's all right!" ”
"That's good."
Guangsheng touched her head approvingly, and handed over two snow flakes and plum candy, "This award is for you." ”
I'm not a three-year-old!
Xiao Gu glared at him, but still took the sugar and put it in his mouth.
I'll eat it, and I'll show you!
Guangsheng smiled and watched her bite the candy like an angry mouth, and his smile became deeper, but then he seemed to think of something and retracted.
"Ask you something......"
He was close to Little Gu. looked into her eyes under the lamp, and said solemnly: "How about we choose another house to live in outside?" ”
"Huh? For what? ”
Xiao Gu didn't react for a while - could it be that he quarreled with the second master or his wife again?
Guangsheng's eyes flashed, and he explained: "I am now transferred to the standard-bearer guard, and I need to guard the palace inside. Usually you can only take a break once in ten days, and if you can't come back for so long, I'm afraid that if you are left behind, you will be bullied by plots. ”
His lie can be said to be seamless, but the truth is: Jinyiwei is busy with tasks. Recently, he found out that Jin Lanhui is a big fish, and he needs to work day and night.
His latest appointment has been delivered in the afternoon: temporarily take charge of Jinyiwei and a thousand households as a deputy thousand households! And the military status on the surface is still in the flag guard. It is convenient for him to use this identity to investigate the movements of the traitorous party.
Many of the standard-bearers were the sons of the powerful, and they were almost all under their names, and they were absent all year round, so Guangsheng only needed to appear there once a month or two, and it would not arouse suspicion.
Jinyiwei has a secret agent in the border army, but Jingying has always been regarded as the emperor's pro-army and is not allowed to be touched by others, and this time he actually made an exception to allow him to lurk like this, it is really the matter of Captain Yan that makes the emperor also angry: Even in the upper twelve guards, there are spies of the Jinlan Society, who else in the world is really credible? !
When Guangsheng received the pardon in the afternoon, Ji Gang even told him meaningfully: As long as he makes a performance this time to satisfy Jinshang, he can be promoted to a thousand households again, and even hinted to him that even Nanzhen Fusi can be in charge of him in the future!
The same official rank of Jinyiwei has always been much more valuable than other military guards, and when a thousand households go out, even the second-grade military attache has to flatter him, and he doesn't dare to offend in the slightest - it can be said that as long as he doesn't offend the important nobles and don't mess with the bachelors of Wenyuan Pavilion, he can almost walk sideways on the streets of the capital!
Such a promotion speed is simply appalling, but Rising understands that the risk is very high, and if you don't do it, you will die without a place to be buried!
Therefore, he couldn't worry about Xiao Gu and a few others, and wanted to settle outside.
"Young master, you have just been promoted and you have to live in another house, which will be impeached for great unfilial piety."
Xiao Gu calmly analyzed, "Even if you secretly put us in the outer mansion, but our deed is still in the Hou Mansion, they can come to the door and tie us back at any time." ”
Guangsheng was stunned for a moment, but he felt that she was reasonable, thinking of the calculating eyes in this Hou Mansion, he was irritable for a while, and asked rhetorically: "Then what do you think?" ”
Xiao Gu's eyes were clear, and he looked at him with a smile, "There is only one master in this mansion who is an understanding person, so the young master might as well store us all there temporarily." ”
"Oh?"
Guangsheng immediately reacted, "Are you talking about Sister Ruyao?" ”
"The young master also thinks so, which shows that we are heroes and see the same thing."
Xiao Gu's words were not ashamed to make Guangsheng laugh out loud. (To be continued......)
