Chapter Seventy-Eight: A New Task (I)
As an old oilman who has been "fishing for the wrong door" all the year round, Li Goudan is still very good, otherwise he would have been beaten to death a long time ago, so since he entered the barracks, he quickly adapted to life inside.
Unfortunately, his lazy appearance has not changed much.
The soldiers of the Dead Soldier Battalion are full of fanatical worship of Gao Ming in their hearts, so they can be said to do their best in training, but Li Goudan is different, he is more afraid of Gao Ming than worship in his heart, so he is naturally cheating and tricky when training, and he is unwilling to work hard.
If it was someone else, Su Gan Chengji and Zhang Sizheng would have beaten him so much that he couldn't take care of himself, but for Li Goudan, the two could only persuade him step by step, but they didn't dare to really do it.
In the eyes of the two, after all, Li Goudan was personally ordered by the prince to take them for training, and the prince also helped him take care of his daughter, which shows that this person has a lot of weight in the prince's mind, so they don't dare to offend easily.
Therefore, when Gao Ming asked about Zhang Sizheng and Li Goudan's situation, Zhang Sizheng could neither say good nor bad, because to say good is to lie, and to say bad is to appear incompetent, so he can only be vague.
But fortunately, this time Gao Ming is finally going to summon Li Goudan, and at this time, Zhang Sizheng is looking forward to it in his heart, Li Goudan will not come back if this guy leaves!
Zhang Sizheng remembered that Gao Ming's order was to let Li Goudan go to see him in the afternoon, so Zhang Sizheng didn't inform him until after lunch.
When Zhang Sizheng saw Li Goudan, this guy was gathering a group of people to brag there.
"Let me tell you, at that time, I was only a little bit away from being sent to purify by the prince, do you know what purification is? Purification is castration, that is, cutting off a man's two eggs, once the eggs are cut, then you can't be a man in this life, you can only be a eunuch without eggs! ”
Speaking of this, Li Goudan, who was still talking eloquently, suddenly showed a palpitating expression.
"At that time, it was called a risk, it is said that the eunuch who was in charge of castration was not an ordinary person, his ancestors were castrated eunuchs for three generations, this person has reached the point where there is no chicken in his eyes and a chicken in his heart...... Hand up and down...... Hand up knife ......"
Listening to Li Goudan's narration, the people listening next to him suddenly felt a little cold when they arrived at their balls, and couldn't help pinching their legs.
However, some people also discovered the loophole in Li Goudan's story, so he immediately stood up.
"Li Goudan, you kid is talking nonsense, how can there be three generations of ancestors who are eunuchs, if he becomes a eunuch, where is his son?"
"Uh......"
was asked by him like this, and Li Goudan also found that he was indeed making such a reason, but it was not okay to let him admit his mistakes, so he came up with an explanation with a turn of his mind.
"What do you know, you reckless man? Let me tell you, the eunuch's great-grandfather became a eunuch after he gave birth to a son, and when he had a grandson, he castrated his son, and when he had a great-grandson, his son castrated his grandson, and he castrated his son, and his son castrated his grandson, and his grandson and grandson were eunuchs, and there was no shortage of children and grandchildren, and what is so strange that the ancestors were eunuchs for three generations? ”
“……”
Hearing Li Goudan's words, the people around him were stunned, and no one refuted it for a while, and everyone only felt distressed and cold.
Damn, these eunuchs are too ruthless, it seems that they will have to stay away from them in the future!
Seeing everyone's palpitations, Li Goudan was suddenly filled with a sense of accomplishment.
"It's been a long time since I've lied to anyone, and now it feels so good to cheat!"
At this time, Zhang Sizheng was standing next to him, looking at Li Goudan's satisfied smile, he suddenly sighed helplessly, and then directly pulled Li Goudan over, and then said: "Your Highness wants to see you, come with me!" ”
Hearing Zhang Sizheng's words, Li Goudan immediately laughed.
"Haha, you can finally leave this boring place, hurry up, don't let Your Highness wait."
After speaking, he trotted forward, and Zhang Sizheng shook his head again and again.
When Li Goudan and Zhang Sizheng came to the East Palace, it was already past afternoon, and Gao Ming was squinting at this time to watch the palace maids dance, and when he saw Li Goudan and them coming, he immediately waved his hand.
"Alright, you all stand down!"
"Yes!"
More than a dozen palace maids immediately retreated, while Zhang Sizheng and Li Goudan walked in.
After coming in, Zhang Sizheng immediately hugged his fist towards Gao Ming.
"Subordinates, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Seeing this scene, Li Goudan also bowed to Gao Ming with a flattering face.
"Caomin Li Goudan has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Prince's Palace is mighty!"
Hearing his words, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing.
"As long as you kid can talk, all right, get up!"
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"
Seeing Li Goudan grinning, Gao Ming smiled at Zhang Sizheng again.
"Okay, Ah Zheng, you can get up too, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the study and talk."
"Subordinates obey!"
Seeing that Zhang Sizheng still looked at each other, Gao Ming could only smile and shake his head, and then led them towards the study.
After the three of them entered the study, Gao Ming immediately asked Zhang Sizheng to close the door of the study, and then looked at them with a serious face.
"This time it's a big deal, I said ugly things in front, and then something went wrong, and I can't protect you!"
Seeing that Gao Ming was so serious, Zhang Sizheng and Li Goudan also nodded seriously.
"Yes, my subordinates know."
"The grass people also know, please rest assured that His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Hearing them say this, Gao Ming nodded.
"Okay, then I'll start talking about business, I received news that Li You, the king of Qi, is preparing to rebel, so I want you to take people to Qizhou immediately."
Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately looked at Li Goudan.
"Li Goudan, you are quick-witted and eloquent, after you arrive in Qizhou, you must gain the trust of Li You, the king of Qi, as soon as possible, and it is best to become his confidant, and after collecting evidence of his rebellion, you will deceive him out of the mansion, you know?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Goudan hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Yes, I see."
Seeing that Li Goudan agreed so unruly, Gao Ming immediately frowned, but he didn't say much, but turned his head to look at Zhang Sizheng.
"As for Ah Zheng, your task is more difficult, I want you to take someone to deal with Li Goudan, once he deceives the King of Qi out of the mansion, you will immediately capture Li You, and then secretly bring it to Chang'an to hand it over to me, can you do it?"
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Zhang Sizheng immediately nodded.
"Yes, my subordinates will definitely do it!"
Compared with Li Goudan, Zhang Sizheng promised to be categorical, and when he heard his reply, even Gao Ming couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
"Okay, that's what you want, you go out and guard the door first, and I'll say a few words with Li Goudan alone."
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhang Sizheng immediately clasped his fists and saluted Gao Ming.
"Yes, the subordinates are retired!"
After Zhang Sizheng went out, Li Goudan looked at Gao Ming with a smile on his face, and suddenly became a little uneasy.
