Chapter 429: Gathering in the Underworld

"Da Da Da", a horse-drawn carriage drove on the side road leading to the outside of the city.

In the car, Peng Qian lost her usual gold hairpin and silver hairpin, dressed in a gorgeous skirt, dressed in plain clothes, with no powder on her face, leaning on her cousin's arms.

She looked a little nervous, holding the placket of her cousin's chest with both hands, and fidgeted: "Cousin, you say, will we be discovered?" ”

The cousin hugged Peng Qian, opened the curtain, and glanced back, the night was vast, and no one was chasing after her, so he patted her shoulder and comforted: "Qian'er, don't be afraid, no one will know." ”

"When we get out of the city, find a good place by the mountains and rivers, and then give birth to this child, the family of three will be happy."

Hearing her cousin mention the child, Peng Qian's face finally softened a little.

She put her hand on her flat lower abdomen, and whispered, "Cousin, let's get out of here and go far." ”

"Okay." As soon as my cousin's words fell, there was a miserable neighing of horses outside the car.

Immediately afterwards, the body bumped violently, which frightened Peng Qian's little face and turned pale: "What's wrong?" ”

My cousin also lifted the curtain and asked, "What happened?" ”

The coachman tightened the reins, trembling and pointing to the large group of black-clothed people who suddenly rushed out, "Cousin, eldest lady, let's ...... We've got a road robbery! ”

My cousin's face changed, and when he looked around, he saw more than a dozen people in black quickly surrounding the carriage.

They are dressed in night clothes, not dressed like bandits, but more like hired killers.

And the man at the head, on horseback, with a black scarf over his face, showed a pair of bright eyes that shone with a cold glow.

"Cousin......" Peng Qian was so frightened by this posture that her tongue began to knot, and she wanted to cry without tears: "What...... What should I do? ”

Because they eloped and ran out secretly, the two of them only brought a coachman, and Peng Qian didn't even dare to bring a personal maid.

also deliberately chose this remote and uninhabited path, for fear that his father Peng Juhuai would find out and chase after him.

But now, who would have thought that they would run away and be about to leave the city, but they met these black-clothed people here who don't know where they came from!

Courageous, the cousin took out a few ingots of silver from the silver bag, stretched out his hand and handed it to a man in black closest to the carriage, smiled and pretended to be stupid: "A few masters, the little one and the clumsy Jing are going out of the city to go back to the countryside to visit the old father, and please be accommodating." ”

"My old father suddenly had an old illness, and because we were in a hurry to leave, we didn't bring much silver."

"Be careful, not respectful, I hope you will forgive me and let us husband and wife go."

Naturally, it was impossible for the man in black to take the silver from his cousin's hand, and he didn't even move his eyes, indifferent.

The cousin had no choice but to whisper to Peng Qian to stay in the carriage, he got out of the carriage carefully, held the silver in both hands fearfully, and said to Gu Jinli: "Uncle, our husband and wife ......"

My cousin was going to repeat what he just said, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Gu Jinli: "Miss Peng is the daughter of Lord Peng, the princess of Prince Xuan today, Young Master Cousin, I dare to ask, when did you marry Princess Xuan?" ”

"You...... Who are you? How can you recognize me?! My cousin's hands trembled with fright, and the silver fell to the ground.

As if he had seen a ghost, he took a few steps back with a frightened face, "Who are you?" What do you want? ”

Listening to the meaning of Gu Jinli's words, she had already figured out the details of herself and Peng Qian, which also verified her cousin's guess just now, that someone was indeed deliberately ambushed here, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.

But the person behind that is obviously not Peng Juhuai.

"What do you want to do? It depends on what you and Miss Peng want to do. Gu Jinli's wrist flipped and she didn't know where to take out a dagger.

In the dark night, the dagger emitted a cold light, which pierced my cousin's heart: "You...... You want to kill us? ”

"I'm telling you, watch...... My cousin is the daughter of Lord Peng, if you dare to touch our hair, Lord Peng will never spare you! ”

"Prince Xuan was paralyzed on the bed, Princess Xuan not only served her dutifully in front of her, but also took the opportunity to go back to her parents' house to secretly Chen Cang with the young master of the cousin, and the pearl fetus was secretly knotted." Gu Jinli sneered and skillfully turned the dagger, "You two have done such a brazen thing, and you dare to expect Peng Juhuai to protect you?" It's ridiculous! ”

"Once your scandal spreads, Lord Peng will no longer have the face to gain a foothold in the court, and even the entire Peng family will suffer with you!"

Peng Qian heard the conversation between Gu Jinli and her cousin clearly, and she shrank in the corner at a loss, trembling.

After returning to Peng's house, she rarely socialized with people.

Later, my cousin occasionally visited Peng's house several times, and they came and went and sparked love.

Originally, it was just a few private meetings behind the scenes, but people's feelings always can't withstand the teasing.

Especially two young men and women who are in the period of being energetic and strong, it is like dry wood touching a fire, just one point.

What's more, during the time when Peng Qian was in King Xuan's Mansion, King Xuan didn't dare to touch Peng Qian because he was infected with flower willow disease by Gu Jinxiu.

Peng Qian, as a woman who has never had an affair, how can she resist the temptation of her cousin?

This first time I tasted the sweetness, and then there was a second and a third time......

Who knows, playing with fire is too big, and Peng Qian is pregnant.

Peng Juhuai's attitude towards his cousin, a poor scholar, was ignorant and lukewarm, and strictly speaking, he looked down on him.

The most important thing is that Peng Qian has not been divorced by King Xuan now, even if she returns to her parents' house to live for a long time, as long as King Xuan does not die for a day, Peng Qian will have to bear the title of "Princess Xuan" on her head for a lifetime.

Although the cousin took a lot of money from Chen Zexuan to take the risk to seduce Peng Qian, he only said that when Peng Qian became pregnant, he would give him a large sum of money, so that he could take Peng Qian away and fly away.

But how is it different from what I expected?

"Qian'er, Qian'er!"

Suddenly, Peng Juhuai's anxious voice came from behind him.

He sat in the carriage, half-leaned over, poking his head out and shouting.

The coachman waved his whip and kept moving, for fear that it would be a step too late, so Peng Qian and her cousin turned into a breeze and floated away.

Table ...... Cousin, my dad is ...... He's chasing him! As if she had heard the voice of the ghost, Peng Qian lifted her skirt, got out of the carriage in a panic, and leaned closely to her cousin.

Gu Jinli narrowed her eyes and winked at the people under her.

The man in black understood, and when Peng Qian and his cousin looked at Peng Juhuai, who was getting closer and closer, like frightened birds, he dropped a machete on the back of their necks.

The two of them were dizzy and fell to the ground.

Peng Juhuai just got out of the carriage, and when he saw Peng Qian lying on the ground, his eyes widened, and he said urgently: "Qian'er! ”

The old legs were fast, and he was about to run to Peng Qian's side, but was blocked by the man in black.

Peng Juhuai glared at Gu Jinli angrily, and said sharply: "This official is Peng Juhuai, a scholar of Hanlin, I advise you to get acquainted with each other and let my daughter go, otherwise the palace will ......."

"Master Peng." Gu Jinli looked at Peng Juhuai posing as an adjutant, and said mockingly: "Your daughter, as the daughter-in-law of the royal family, Hongxing went out of the wall and gave Prince Xuan a green hat, she is innocent of death!" ”

"If you don't care about your Peng family, then Ben Gongzi will be kind enough to help you spread the word about this matter."

"Let's see if the emperor will be angry and ...... the Peng family Hum! ”

Gu Jinli's voice sounded coldly in this dark night, with a fierce energy, like a strong wind in the desert, which made Peng Juhuai's whole body ache.

Although he wanted to stop talking, he could make Peng Juhuai feel full of threats.

No matter how Peng Juhuai said, he is a person who has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has never seen any strong winds and waves?

Pursing his lips, he clenched his fists and tried to calm himself: "Say, what the hell do you want to do?" How can I let my daughter go? ”

Peng Juhuai has always been kept in the dark by Peng Qian and his cousin, and he doesn't know about the private love affair between the two.

If Gu Jinli hadn't specially sent someone to release the news to him, he would probably still be asleep in bed! Presumably, the daylily is cold, and I know that my daughter ran away with others!

"Hehe, Master Peng, you may not know that your daughter has a grandson in her belly!" Gu Jinli shook her head and said slowly: "This big and small two lives, this son has to weigh it carefully." ”

Peng Juhuai couldn't believe it after hearing that Peng Qian was pregnant with her cousin's child.

He opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened, trembling with anger.

Glancing at his cousin who fell to the ground unconscious, he stomped his foot hard, gritted his teeth and said, "This little beast who has been stabbed with a thousand knives dares to ......"

Peng Qian is the heart and soul of him and Mrs. Peng, even if she can't marry blatantly in the future, Peng Juhuai has already planned for her.

After a hundred years for him and Mrs. Peng, everything in this mansion will be left to Peng Qian.

Whether she wants to sell her family business and leave the capital, or she continues to stay in the Peng family, in short, she will inherit enough family wealth for her to enjoy for the rest of her life.

There is no problem at all to live out your old age without worrying about food and clothing.

However, there is no parent who does not want their children to be accompanied by someone who is caring and warm.

After all, no matter how much parents love their children, there will always be a day when they will grow old.

However, Peng Qian, as Princess Ning with an empty name, can only stay in her mother's house in the future.

This can never be changed.

Because, the old emperor extremely upheld the dignity of the royal family.

If Peng Qian dares to leave, it will be difficult to escape the word "death".

At the age of a flower, but in the second half of their lives, they had to be widowed, although Peng Juhuai and his wife were distressed and sad, they could not do anything, they could only be by her side for one more day.

Fortunately, the husband and wife are in good health, there is nothing wrong with them, and it is estimated that they can live a few more years.

Teaching the house all day long to be polite and honest, but his daughter did such a shameless thing, which made the feudal tradition of Peng Juhuai embarrassed?

Seeing that Gu Jinli was sneering and silent, he quickly turned his brain.

He is just a Hanlin bachelor, and the power in his hands is limited, no matter how much Gu Jinli opens his mouth, he can't let himself do those things that plot to usurp the throne, right?

After all, he didn't have that ability, and he didn't have that ambition.

Suppressing his anger, Peng Juhuai said coldly: "As long as you can let Qian'er and the Peng family go, I will agree to any conditions you propose." ”

Gu Jinli didn't deliberately pinch Peng Juhuai, and said bluntly: "Master Peng is an old minister in the court, and now you should know how fierce the partisan dispute between the Eighth Prince and Prince Ning is secretly. ”

"But Lord Peng, you, have always been neutral and don't express any attitude."

If Peng Juhuai still didn't understand what Gu Jinli meant by such a play, it would really not be worth Gu Jinli to climb out of the warm bed at night to accompany him to act.

Gritting his teeth, he asked, "Who do you want me to choose?" ”

"The Eighth Prince." The corners of Gu Jinli's lips lifted lightly, and she said word by word: "I want you to support the Eighth Prince and assist him in ascending the throne as emperor." ”

"You are the person of the Eighth Prince?!" Peng Juhuai listened, and the anger that had just calmed down burned again.

He stared at Gu Jinli angrily, and said angrily: "The old man really didn't expect that the Eighth Prince looked so gentle and pure on weekdays, but in fact, he was so scheming behind his back!" ”

"It's a shame that the old man was grateful to him for speaking in front of the emperor for my family Qian'er, but it turned out to be such a score, hateful!"

"Master Peng, you may have misunderstood, this matter has nothing to do with the Eighth Prince." Gu Jinli naturally couldn't admit anything, she turned over and dismounted neatly, walked in front of Peng Juhuai, and the dagger in her hand flicked with her movements, startling Peng Juhuai to retreat again and again.

"You...... What do you want to do? Peng Juhuai thought that Gu Jinli was going to kill him, and his voice changed tone.

Gu Jinli said coldly: "I have a deep grudge against Prince Ning Qi Hao, and the Eighth Prince is the only person who can compete with Qi Hao for the time being, so I will spare no effort to help the Eighth Prince." ”

After a pause, she added loudly: "Qi Hao killed my whole family, this revenge will not be avenged, I will go underground in the future, and I will face my family without shame." ”

"The Eighth Prince, whether it is King Xuan, or the Qing King who died, no matter who one of them, as long as Qi Hao can be eliminated, it will be the same for me."

Sure enough, hearing the infinite hatred for Qi Hao in Gu Jinli's tone, Peng Juhuai's face softened a little, but he still didn't let go: "Hmph, after all, you are still a member of the Eighth Prince!" ”

"Master Peng, who am I, you don't need to dwell on this question, and what's the point." Gu Jinli put the knife against Peng Juhuai's neck, and said quietly: "You just need to know that what you have to do in the future is to do your best to assist the Eighth Prince and pull Qi Hao off the stage." ”

The cold knife was attached to his skin, and Peng Juhuai didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

He swallowed and reluctantly compromised with an "um".

Gu Jinli put away the dagger, and while getting on the horse, she didn't forget to instruct: "By the way, I don't want anyone other than you and me to know about this matter." ”

"Especially the Eighth Prince, so as not to cause extraneous branches."

swept around the two housekeepers and two coachmen brought by Peng Juhuai, and there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes: "They, if they dare to leak half a word, your entire Peng family will gather together in the underworld!" ”

With that, she whipped her whip and rode away with the people.

Peng Juhuai watched Gu Jinli and the others disappear into the vast darkness, his clenched fists made a "creaking" sound, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Give me a good check, this person's bottom line!" ”

"When you figure it out, kill him for me!"

"Dare to threaten the old man? Hmph, he's still a little tender! ”

"Yes, sir." A family member stepped forward tremblingly, pointed to Peng Qian and her cousin who were lying on the ground, and cautiously asked Peng Juhuai, who was extremely gloomy and gloomy: "That...... Lady and ......"

The family didn't dare to talk much, after all, it was not a glorious thing for his young lady to elope with a man.

Peng Ju looked at Peng Qian with hatred, flicked his sleeves, and said with the old fire: "Miss is from our family, what do you care about others?!" ”

This means that regardless of the cousin, the family immediately nodded, picked up Peng Qian and put her in the carriage.

Suddenly, Peng Juhuai changed his mind again, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to take the young lady back to the house." ”

"Huh?" The family looked at Peng Juhuai puzzled, seeing that he was deeply thoughtful and entangled, he didn't dare to move, so he had to wait for his next words.

The old man's eyes were struggling, Peng Juhuai took a deep breath, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said in a low voice: "Carry the young lady and the young master to the carriage and hurry out of the city." ”

The family listened to the order and quickly moved the two to the carriage.

Peng Juhuai turned his head, and he asked the coachman who had taken Peng Qian out of the city again, "Where are the young lady and the young master plan to go?" ”

The coachman didn't dare to deceive, and said truthfully: "Miss and Young Master Cousin haven't thought about it yet, so they just said that they would go out of the city first." ”

"You dog thing that eats inside and out, you dare to take the young lady out of the house! What a damn one! Peng Juhuai was angry, so he kicked the coachman hard.

The coachman didn't have the courage to dodge, so he could only take a kick alive, and said aggrievedly: "What does the young lady and the young master mean, how dare the little one disobey?" ”

Peng Juhuai exhaled heavily, and said in a muffled voice: "You take them south, and when the young lady wakes up, tell her, and say ......."

Sighing, he said helplessly: "Just say that she and Young Master Cousin will never return to the capital, I just don't have this daughter." ”

"Master?!" The coachman didn't expect that Peng Juhuai, who has always loved his daughter, would cut off the father-daughter relationship with Peng Qian, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Peng Juhuai put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "She has done such an ugly thing, which undoubtedly puts the heads of everyone in our Peng family on the blade. ”

"Instead of letting people hold the handle, it's better to send them out and find a place to hide incognito!"

"As for the outside, I can only release news that she has contracted the disease and died violently!"

After a few more curses, Peng Juhuai never looked at Peng Qian again, and got into the carriage sadly.

Nodding to Peng Qian's coachman, he watched reluctantly as the carriage ran farther and farther away from him.

Gu Jinli is right, the bloody storm in Beijing is coming soon.

He has always been neutral, which will never be possible.

Since Gu Jinli wants him to take refuge in the Eighth Prince, then he can only do this.

It's just that while entering the water, it also dragged the entire family down.

However, this does not mean that he is willing to be at the mercy of others.

He and Mrs. Peng only have this one daughter, although they are angry that their daughter lost her virginity and eloped with a man, but from the bottom of his heart, Peng Juhuai still wants to protect her.

The capital is unstable, so it is better to let her and her cousin leave, find a safe place, and live a good life.

If the Eighth Prince wins, their Peng family will be saved.

If the Eighth Prince loses, at least the Peng family can still have roots.

Behind the tree not far away, Gu Jinli looked at Peng Juhuai in the carriage and sneered, disdainful in her heart.

This man wants to get rid of himself? What a dream!

Although she brought more than a dozen people with her, she didn't leave any traces.

Besides, if she hadn't intercepted Peng Qian and her cousin here, she would have been able to catch up with Peng Juhuai's turtle-like speed?

However, he actually let Peng Qian and his cousin leave, which was a bit unexpected by Gu Jinli.

This father's love is really touching!

Where can Peng Qian and her cousin run? Gu Jinli can be caught from somewhere.

As long as Peng Qian is holding it in his hand, Peng Juhuai will want to defect later, and it is impossible!

Gu Jinli's people had already followed behind Peng Qian's carriage, and after two or three days, Peng Qian's hairpin was sent to Peng Juhuai, and it would take a look if he dared to repent!

"Let's go back." Putting down the curtain, Peng Juhuai also asked the coachman to drive the car back.

Gu Jinli was just about to turn around, but suddenly saw someone standing behind him who didn't know when, and reflexively wanted to stab the dagger in his hand, but he took it back halfway.

She stroked her chest and said in a slightly cold tone, "Why are you standing behind me and not making a sound?" ”

"I want to ask you, why do you act alone with people? If you don't know me, you won't even bring Aqiao. Chen Zexuan shook his fan and said unhappily: "If something happens here, what can I do?" ”

Gu Jinli looked at Chen Zexuan deeply, her eyes moved slightly, but she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Chen Zexuan looked at Gu Jinli's face and the traces of abrasions during the day, and keenly noticed that her tone of voice was a little different from before, so he frowned slightly, softened his tone, and said tentatively: "Sheng'er, I heard Ah Qiao say that you were injured while riding a horse during the day, and you are so decent, but what happened?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just careless." As soon as Gu Jinli heard Chen Zexuan mention Ah Qiao, she secretly rejoiced that she was fortunate that she didn't take Ah Qiao with her in this operation.

It seems that Ah Qiao will really report his every move to Chen Zexuan.

After two years of getting along with Ah Qiao, Ah Qiao is indeed loyal to himself.

However, she is not Hexiang and Aiyue in the end, and she can be loyal to herself without distraction.

And Chen Zexuan, who called his brother for two years, accepted so many false memories that did not exist, which had to make Gu Jinli wonder if he really had ulterior motives for himself as Qi Hao said before.

Of course, she is not a person who does not distinguish between black and white and likes to kill people with a stick.

In the past two years, she and Chen Zexuan have relied on each other in the bitter sea of hatred, Chen Zexuan has protected her and hurt her heart, Gu Jinli feels that it cannot be completely fake.

It's just that she feels that no one can be relied on except herself.

In the future, she had to figure out many things alone.

After all, the fierce blow during the day not only knocked out the back of her head, but also knocked her memory back.

She has remembered everything back then.

She will no longer trust one side as before, who is right and who is wrong, who is who is wrong, who is and who is the ghost, she believes that it will not take long to distinguish!

At least, no one can fool her anymore about everything about her and Qi Hao.

Those sweet, painful pasts were experienced by her and Qi Hao together.

To be clear, who could know better?

Want to trick her again? It's hard later.

Seeing that Gu Jinli's eyes were obviously wrong when he looked at him, Chen Zexuan didn't know why a strong uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart.

He couldn't help but say, he directly probed his hand on Gu Jinli's pulse, and checked the pulse for a while, but he couldn't find anything.

Moving his lips, Chen Zexuan still couldn't help but ask, "Sheng'er, are you really okay?" ”

Probably realizing that he might have exposed his emotions too much, he quickly adjusted his expression, tried to make himself look the same as before, and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm really fine, don't think about it." ”

Pretending to think of something suddenly, she took his arm again and asked urgently, "You said last time that you wanted to check on Master, but there was any movement?" ”

Maybe it was her actions that made the suspicion in Chen Zexuan's eyes disappear.

He shook his head and said helplessly, "Not yet." ”

Gu Jinli let out an disappointed "oh", and then comforted: "Brother, it's okay, we'll find out sooner or later." ”

"However, you have to be careful, don't be found out by Master."

Seeing that Gu Jinli cared about him, Chen Zexuan also nodded with a smile, and responded, "Okay." ”

Then, the two said a few more casual words, and then Chen Zexuan sent Gu Jinli back to King Ning's mansion.
