Chapter 327: Breaking the Embankment
Mrs. Zhang was anxious, glared at him fiercely, and then rushed in with the maid and the maid, and saw the red note sitting on the couch with a good look, but her eyes were a little red and swollen, and her voice changed in fright, "My son, what's wrong?!" β
"Mother's ......"
Hongzhi sobbed in a low voice, threw herself into her arms, choked for a long time, and then whispered: "I will only be a good daughter in the future, and I will take care of my parents' knees. β
Mrs. Zhang felt a headache when she heard it - there were brocade guards surrounding the mansion in the middle of the night, even if the British Mansion was the first important minister trusted by the emperor, this also frightened the whole mansion into panic, but it turned out that it was because of the **** entanglement of these children?
She had the heart to get angry and curse, and when she saw this "daughter" who had not long been recognized, she cried to death, and finally sighed: "It's really crazy, so arrogant for this kind of thing - when your father comes back, I can't spare you two evil obstacles!" β
The red note cried even more sadly, buried in her arms, but the corners of her lips were slightly upturned - when the British Duke came back, the capital Jinling had been turned upside down, the sun and the moon had changed, and it was not certain who spared whom!
****
The rain fell overnight, washing away a lot of rocks around the barren mountain and wild temple, and the trees were uprooted, and when it was dawn, it gradually stopped.
Xiao Gu saw that everything was in order, and decided to go back to the city as originally planned, and Qin Yao stayed near the river embankment to prevent mistakes - this is the most important thing, if someone really uses his hands and feet to pour water into the city, the whole city will have to die in the belly of the fish!
She rode her horse in the direction of Jinling City, and the roads along the way were muddy. The air seemed fresh and pleasant, and Xiao Gu raised his head and looked at the clouds on the horizon - obviously. It's a sunny day!
Today is the day when Jingyu's plan is launched, and he probably doesn't know that his manpower in the vital place has been controlled.
Such a layout is already doomed......
She sighed and was about to go forward, when she heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping on the fork in the road. Someone shouted, "Wait! β
The voice was somewhat familiar, and Xiao Gu grabbed the horse's head, but saw that the person who came was wearing a light armor and iron jacket. Dressed in a silver robe, he was even more worried between his eyebrows.
It turned out to be Yuan Jin!
Since the night of Wanhualou, everyone hurriedly fled to their own things, and they have never seen each other again. Xiao Gu only heard about it from the mouths of a few of Jin Lanhui's siblings. After Yuan Ergongzi sent them to safety, he returned to the mansion, and a few days later, he was transferred to the Shenji Camp in the suburbs.
The sudden reunion, without waiting for Xiao Gu to react, Yuan Jin rushed to the front of him on horseback, gasping and said, "You want to go back to the city, right?" β
Xiao Gu was stunned for a moment, the muscles on Yuan Jin's face twitched slightly, and the whole person seemed to be in anger and frenzy. He leaned over and grabbed her reins. His voice was a little hoarse, "Don't go back, it's a dead end!" β
Xiao Gu stared into his eyes, calmly, "You also know about Jingyu's conspiracy, don't worry, he won't succeed." β
Yuan Jin didn't slow down his expression when he heard this, but hurriedly asked, "You already know, do you want to do it with him?" β
Although Xiao Gu was slightly surprised, he thought that Yuan Jian was trustworthy, and still replied: "His people are on the other side of the river embankment, and we have already beenβ"
Her words were interrupted by Yuan Jin's anger, "Do you think you have the chance to win?" Jingyu is not that simple! β
The next sentence is simply terrifying, "The layout on the other side of the river embankment is all fake, and it is used to deceive your ears and eyes!" β
Xiao Gu was completely stunned, the rising sun pierced her eyes, she only felt dizzy, even her ears buzzed, and the darkness in front of her eyes almost fell off the horse!
"Be careful!"
Yuan Jin stretched out his hand to support her, because she was thinly dressed in summer, the thin calluses and heat of his palms penetrated through the fabric to her skin, tightly clamping her body.
Xiao Gu finally stabilized, she bit the tip of her tongue to keep herself calm, "How do you know that there is fraud in it?" β
Yuan Jian stared at her snow-white little face, so beautiful and delicate - only in this emergency moment did she remove all disguises, like a pearl dyed, clear and unmatched.
The sunlight pierced his eyes, but it was more thrilling and hideous than the darkness, and fate slowly revealed to him the portal of impermanence, not knowing which end was a hideous fang, or ......
He heard his voice low and said calmly: "Because my father-in-law, the Marquis of Guangping, is also one of the masterminds of this matter. β
*****
"In other words, the projects on this side of the embankment were all deliberately discovered for us, and they are all fake?!"
Xiao Gu trembled, and heard his voice fluttering.
"With Jingyu's skills, you should already know that you have discovered his secret - although the population on this side of the river embankment is not large, after all, it is exposed in broad daylight, and it has been filed by the government, and there are traces if you really want to investigate."
Yuan Jian said in a deep voice, his eyes shining with a tangled and painful light, "He was going to do it here at first, but since you found out, he used a more secret plan, and in this, my father-in-law, Guangping Hou, played a crucial role. β
"Guangping Marquis Yuan Rong!"
Xiao Gu had long known that this emperor's close minister, and the commander of the horse was also the executor of the plan to hide the emperor's heir back then, but when he thought about it at this time, it was Huo Ran's heart that was shocked-Yuan Rong had the Praetorian Guard in his hands, although it was not much, but it was also stationed in Gyeonggi, could it be said?
"You guessed it, the embankment that was really dug up and diverted was around the Xishuiguan Wharf, and it was personally executed by my father's private soldiers."
Yuan Jin's voice was low and hoarse, as if he didn't want to face all this, but he finally spoke.
"That's what happened!"
Xiao Gu shook his body and looked up at the sky--a wisp of gold had been revealed at the end of the horizon, and the sky was about to dawn--this day was the fourth day of the seventh month, the day when the King of Han went out of the city to worship Queen Xu, and all the plans were today!
Once Jingyu's plan is opened, it will be difficult to stop, and more than 100,000 people in the capital, whether they are high or low, will encounter a catastrophe!
This must be stopped quickly!
Xiao Gu felt a blackness in front of him, and then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll rush to the west now!" β
"There are eight hundred of my father-in-law's private soldiers there, all of them are elite men, and you alone will not help!"
Yuan Jian stretched out his hand to stop her, but was slapped away by Xiao Gu, but a pair of delicate apricot eyes glared at him fiercely, bloodshot in the depths, "Guangping Hou did all this, all for you!" β
Yuan Jin's body froze, maintaining the posture of reaching out, the light in his eyes was like charcoal ashes frozen into ashes, and his black eyes looked at her without moving, Xiao Gu's heart was sour, and he choked weakly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be angry with you!" (To be continued.) )
