Chapter 25: Gu Yu

Outside the window, there was thunder, wind and rain, and the windows that had fallen into disrepair were squeaked by the wind. At this time, only a "squeak" was heard, and the window seemed to be blown open by the wind.

Ouyang Jie didn't sleep well because of the sound of wind and rain outside the window, and he was still noisy when he put his head in the quilt, and he didn't bother to get up when he heard the window being blown open, thinking that the left and right windows were far away from him, but he didn't want to hear other movements, which seemed to be human footsteps.

His heart sank, and he reached out to touch the saber that was lying next to his pillow, and before he could pull it out of its scabbard, he saw that a man in black had lifted the steel knife and slashed at the bed!

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and two people dressed as coachmen came in with knives, and Ouyang Jie, who was about to escape with his sword, shouted: "Here!" ”

And the two people over there tore open the quilt, only to see that there was just a pillow lying on the bed, and their faces changed greatly, and when they turned around, they saw that they had already fought with Ouyang Jie!

Ouyang Jie's martial arts were not proficient, and the opponent was overwhelmed and attracted blood, and soon fell behind, he kicked over the table, temporarily blocked the thief, and ran desperately out of the door. As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I saw black-clothed men carrying steel knives rushing from all directions. He clenched the sword in his hand and slowly retreated to the wall to fight the trapped beasts.

More than a dozen black-clothed men surrounded him, and the one at the head was the first to attack, raising his knife to slash at him, he held the long sword in his hand to block the oncoming knife, and the weapon collided with a lot of sparks and a tooth-aching grinding sound. He shoved the man away and quickly leaned back against the wall, for fear of being attacked from behind.

Ouyang Jie's defense was meaningless to this gang of bandits, they glanced at each other, and wanted to attack them in groups, but they heard someone behind them shouting: "Slow! I'm here what you want! ”

Everyone was startled by this sound, and they all turned around, only to see a burly man waving the brocade box in his hand towards them. They glanced at each other and saw Ouyang Jie, who was only wearing a middle coat, so they judged that something might not be on him, and divided a group of people to kill the man.

The man turned around and ran when he saw someone coming towards him, and Ouyang Jie's side, taking advantage of this gap to split one person and wanted to escape, the rest of the people immediately raised their knives and slashed at him, but before the knife was raised, he was kicked from behind by someone and fell to the ground. Everyone turned around, and the two were immediately cut off.

Before Ouyang Jie could react, his wrist was grabbed, and he heard a heavy male voice say, "Follow me!" ”

He didn't have time to see the man's appearance, so he was dragged out of the post station, pushed into a carriage, and drove away before he could stand firmly.

"Your Excellency is a little embarrassed."

He steadied himself and looked up to see the man he had seen in the antechamber, who was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency's name."

The man threw him his clothes, "Put them on quickly, and I'll give you medicine when you're in the city." ”

Ouyang Jie frowned slightly, but he also put on his clothes in disbelief, "Your Excellency's life-saving grace is unforgettable, but I don't know Your Excellency's respect, and I can't repay it in the future." ”

"My surname is He Mingkuan, the word Shuhe, a native of Nanyang." The man laughed.

"It turned out to be Brother He, who has been looking up for a long time." He smiled and said hello, but he became more and more puzzled in his heart, what is the origin of this person?

"The adult is polite, but I don't know who the adult has offended? He was killed by someone. ”

Ouyang Jie shook his head, "I don't know, maybe it's an official who is afraid that I will go back to Beijing to complain, so let's kill people." ”

He Kuan frowned slightly, and his tone was a little regretful, "The imperial court sent them Yulu, and they did such a thing, which made He disdainful." What's more, he is still doing it in Nanyang, which is really extremely yin. ”

If Ouyang Jie dies in Nanyang, and the upper side investigates it, then the Nanyang County Guard is afraid that he will not be able to escape death.

Ouyang Jie sighed, "After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and many things can't be managed." ”

He Kuan nodded, "Also, the imperial court has not been peaceful during this time, and it is difficult to send you down to observe the people's feelings." ”

"It is also a matter of duty to seek his position in his position." Ouyang Jie said, "I heard that Brother He was able to escort supplies to the front line for the imperial court, and I really admire this courage." ”

"Contemptible people are just doing some small business to support their families, which is not worth mentioning."

"Brother He is humble."

He Kuan smiled and didn't speak again. Ouyang Jie didn't say anything more, leaned on the body, fell asleep in a daze, and woke up to the door of He Kuan's house.

"It's too disturbing to the house, and I can ask my son to send me to the post house."

"I saw that the adult had a high fever, and he did not retreat all the way, so he sent someone to ask the doctor to wait at home. The post house is still ten miles away from here, and the road is far away, so adults don't have to be polite. ”

Ouyang Jie sighed, "Since that's the case, then thank you Brother He." The contemptible surname is Zhang Mingjie, and the son can call me Boqing. ”

"Okay, Brother Boqing."

He Kuan helped Ouyang Jie get out of the car, there were already people waiting at home, and he was busy placing Ouyang Jie in the guest room, and the doctor ordered the little maid in the family to grab the medicine after finishing the pulse.

"Brother Boqing, please rest assured, there are still some trivial matters to deal with in the future, and I will be lost first."

"You're busy first."

After He Kuan left, he let down his vigilance a little. Nanyang is not suitable for staying for a long time, but now he is covered in injuries and will not be able to return to the capital for a while. And Zhao Dangdu already has the courage to send someone to assassinate him, so what is the current situation in Nanhuai? Regardless of whether He Kuan was sincere or false, he had to go to the Nanyang Post House today and inform the Holy Lord of the situation. In addition, nine times out of ten, Nanhuai's soldiers and horses did not set off, and he wanted to transfer the soldiers and horses before Zhao Dang announced the rebellion, and he didn't know if it was too late!

The talisman was attached to his chest, and it seemed to weigh a thousand catties!

When He Kuan came back later, Ouyang Jie's fever had also subsided, and he wanted to leave him to heal his injuries before leaving, but seeing that he repeatedly asked for his resignation, he could only send someone to send him to the Nanyang Post House.

"Childe, what is the origin of this Master Zhang? How could so many people chase him? Sui asked in a whisper.

It's no wonder that the entourage asked, when they found out that an assassin was approaching the post house last night, the secret guards protecting Ouyang Jie fought with each other, and they thought to themselves that with six or seven people, Ouyang Jie's secret guards would solve it. I didn't think that it was the other party's transfer of the tiger from the mountain, and when they came out with weapons, Ouyang Jie had already been forced to the foot of the wall. And the guards who protected him were probably killed in their sleep a long time ago.

"Well, it shouldn't be small." He Kuan agreed.

Attendant: "......" What's the difference between what you said and what you didn't say?

"Childe, Nanhuai's side is ready." Another black-clothed attendant stepped forward.

"Okay," he shook off the folding fan in his hand, fanned the wind, and said with a smile, "Then let's go to Nanhuai to play." ”

……

However, he said that Ouyang Jie arrived at the Nanyang Post House and immediately wrote a letter to inform Zhao Huan of the current situation. And the most important thing now is to control Nanhuai's soldiers and horses, he has a talisman in his hand but suffers from not having a trustworthy commander, not to mention that he is alone at this time, how can he enter the barracks?

Just thinking about it, I heard the postman knock on the door, saying that someone was looking for him outside the inn, I thought it would be He Kuan, but I didn't think it was a group of strangers, and more than a dozen people had never met.

"My subordinates have seen adults, please punish them if they are late to save the driver!" When the group saw Ouyang Jie, they knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Ouyang Jie frowned slightly, "Who are you?" ”

The man at the head said: "The subordinates were sent by His Majesty to secretly protect the lord, and last night he was tricked to divert the tiger from the mountain, and when we rushed back, the lord had already left the post station, and the He Mansion was heavily guarded, so we did not dare to act rashly." ”

"It's hard to convince me with your words."

"This is a token that His Majesty has handed over to us, and you can see it for yourself."

The man presented the brocade box, Ouyang Jie opened it and saw that there was a hosta lying in the box, which was exactly the same as what Zhao Huan gave him when he got married, and he believed the man's words.

"In that case, come with me."

……

When Zhao Huan received Ouyang Jie's letter, it was already five days later, he was teasing the child at the time, he was depressed all day long, Nie Rousang saw this, and hugged the child to relieve his boredom.

"It's bold." He looked at the letter and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Nie Rousang asked.

"Ouyang Jie was assassinated in Nanyang."

"Is it all right?" Nie Rousang asked worriedly.

Zhao Huan shook his head, "It's okay, I just got some flesh wounds." ”

"Is he going back to Beijing?"

"No, I want to go to Linguan and join Zhao Quan."

The letter said that he was worried that Nan Huai would take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, so he would go to Linguan to get the support of soldiers and horses to find out whether Nan Huai was really rebelling or still watching the fire from the other side. If it's the latter, he's waiting for an opportunity to make a substitution to prevent future troubles.

"Then Nanhuai is completely reversed?"

"There is no one yet, it is estimated that I am still waiting to see if the border can be kept." He sighed, "You take Qi'er back first, I have something to discuss with my father-in-law." ”

He didn't have much foundation in the court, and even if there were a few, they were sent out because of this war, and the only person he could trust was his father-in-law, Nie Gan. Therefore, he eagerly hoped that He Kuan could make a contribution in this war, so he justifiably transferred him to the court.

Although Nie Rousang was worried, but in the end, she was a woman, and she didn't know anything about the court, so she could only take the child back to the dormitory and not disturb him.

"Then the concubine will go back first, don't worry too much, pay attention to rest." She commanded softly.

He smiled and replied softly, "It's okay, don't worry." ”

Mama came out with the child in her arms, and when the master and servant walked to the Chengqian Palace, they met the queen's Luan driver, and they were about to salute, when they heard her say: "I have said that this ceremony is exempt, but you can't remember it." ”

Nie Rousang got up and asked with a smile, "Where is Niangniang from?" ”

"I think the weather is good today, let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden." Chun Yu Nian also smiled.

"When the rain arrives, the weather is really warm, but there has been a lot of rain recently, so the mother should still pay attention to keeping warm."

Chun Yunian smiled, "You're worried, you have to pay attention too, especially if you are still with children." ”

"Yes, the concubine remembered."

Chun Yunian nodded and said goodbye to her. She took two steps back and sent her away.

"Master, the slave maid heard that the decoration of Yuehua Palace is beautiful, and the decorations in it are the best." The maid complained softly.

Nie Rousang listened, just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty is so partial, give everything to that one, you gave birth to a prince, and I didn't see Your Majesty accompany you more, and you ......"

"Lots of words!" She frowned and scolded.

Shuyu was wronged, obviously complaining about her master, why was she scolded?

She sighed, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty and the queen are husband and wife, and it is reasonable to pamper the queen, I don't want to hear such words in the future!" ”

"The slave knows it's wrong."

She kept a calm face and didn't speak again. Zhao Huan's foundation is not stable, how dare she bother him with such a trivial matter? Besides, now that she can't keep people without any fault, if she cares about it again, won't it make him even more disgusted? She raised her eyes to look at the sky in the distance, and felt that it was not as blue as Changling.
