Chapter 719: See Hades
Xue Chuyu chased out less than three or five miles, and found that Xue Shao and his party were waiting for him at the fork of the official road. He was just about to ask a question, but Xue Shao said, "Brother, go back to Li Xiaoyi." ”
Xue Chuyu was a little surprised, but seeing that Xue Shao's expression was quite stern, it was not like he was emotionally rejecting his sworn follow, but more like when he was raising the handsome account and giving orders.
With a fist and a bow, Xue Chuyu pulled out the horse and returned without saying a word.
Guo An looked at the string of smoke and dust left behind by Xue Chuyu's BMW, smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said sincerely, "It's really righteous!" ”
"He said, heaven and earth, swords and mountains and seas of fire." Xue Shao smiled slightly from the bottom of his heart, and pulled the reins of the horse in his hand, "Go!" ”
The group returned to the villa.
The door of the village was closed, Xue Shao had just entered the house and sat down, and Guo An came in to report, "A few little tails have followed, and they are nesting outside the Zhuangzi." ”
Xue Shao smiled indifferently, in this case, Wu Yougui did not send someone to keep an eye on him, but it was abnormal. It's just that his methods and the scouts he sent can only be described as imbecile.
"Arrange it, the soldiers are divided into two ways, and the golden cicada will come out of its shell!"
"Yes!!"
After nightfall, a group of scouts outside Zhuangzi who were staring at each other with wide eyes were suddenly startled.
The heavy gate of the courtyard was suddenly opened, and a string of knights rushed out of it, rushing in the direction of the north bank of the river. The scouts were taken aback, and hurriedly got on their horses and chased after them. Who knew that after the string of knights left the village, they immediately broke into pieces and walked on different paths, and the chasing scouts had to go their separate ways to track down.
After chasing, these scouts found that they had gone around in a circle and returned to the gate of the village. And all those they chased were lost.
"What a bunch of people this is, it's like ghosts!" Someone let out a growl of annoyance and shame. As a scout whose vocation is tracking and reconnaissance, he is teased like a blind man, and the embarrassment in his heart is indescribable.
"I have long heard that Xue Shao's subordinates have a group of relatives who were originally scouts, and they are secretly trained by him himself, and all of them have the ability to escape from the heavens and the earth." Someone sighed and said, "It's so bad, but I never believe it and I disdain it." Today......"
"Shut up, isn't it shameful enough?" Someone shouted, "Think about it, how will you explain it when you go back?" ”
Three days later, early in the morning.
Xue Shao, Guo An, Wu Ming, Yuenu and Xuan Yunzi appeared in Xianyang County, a suburb of Chang'an.
All five of them were dressed in casual clothes for business trips, and they were not very eye-catching. After entering the county seat, the five of them were about to go to the agreed inn to meet Cheng Wuting, but unexpectedly, many people suddenly poured out on the main road of the county seat, and soon the streets were crowded.
It seems that these people are ordinary people in the city, and there are all kinds of farmers, businessmen, old and young, women and children. Listening to their gossip, it seems that they are talking about the imminent transfer of the county magistrate.
"Xianyang County Order, isn't it Yao Yuanchong?" Xue Shao said.
was muttering, the crowd in front of him suddenly made a commotion, hula lala squeezed forward, surrounded a few people and chatted and crowded, probably blocking those people from leaving.
Xue Shao turned over and rode onto his horse, looking past the crowd and looking forward, yes, it was Yao Yuanchong and several of his scribes who were stopped by these people.
It seems that Yao Fujun is quite popular in Xianyang County. When they heard that he was going to be transferred, the people refused to let him go. Guo An whispered, "I just don't know, where was Yao Fujun transferred?" ”
"Looking at the reluctant affection of the people to see him off, he should be promoted." Xue Shao said with a smile, "If it is a transfer or demotion at the same level, it will not be such a scene." ”
"It should be."
"Let's go!" Xue Shao got off the horse and led the horse on foot, and said to everyone, "We still have business to do!" ”
The group walked slowly through the bustling crowd, and finally walked into the agreed inn. As soon as he was welcomed into the dining hall by the shopkeeper, Wu Yuan, a scout who had been waiting here for a few days, greeted him and called earnestly: "Young owner, you are here!" ”
Seeing his expression, Xue Shao suddenly relieved his heart, and it was all right!
After a while, Xue Shao entered a guest room and met Cheng Wuting.
"Hey, Young Marshal Xue, you can be regarded as here!" As soon as Cheng Wuting saw Xue Shao, he began to vomit bitterness, "In the past few days, I am about to become a wild mushroom in the mountains!" ”
Xue Shao smiled, "It's really hard for you." ”
"I don't understand, why do we sneak back to the capital like thieves?" Cheng Wuting was a little unhappy, and said angrily, "Even if I go back to Beijing to die, I would rather come openly!" ”
"There is a saying that Hades is good at seeing little ghosts." Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "The Black Tooth Changzhi led the army to block the way, and it was only one of them. If we do make all the way back, we don't know how much trouble there will be on the way. In order to avoid complications, I had to do this. ”
"Okay!" Cheng Wuting grinned, "Then now, can I go to see Hades?" ”
A pun, Xue Shao felt very unlucky when he heard it, so he said: "Evil, I have to say something ugly to you." ”
"Just talk." Cheng Wu said arrogantly, "As long as it is not insulting the ancestors of my Cheng family, it is not an ugly thing." ”
"Then I'll leave it at that." Xue Shao's expression didn't seem like he was joking at all, and said seriously, "In the few months since I left the capital and now I have returned to the capital, I have been working hard all the time to save your evil life and save your Cheng family. Now it's time for a critical time, and if you let your temperament go against me, I'll turn my face. ”
"......" Cheng Wuting was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded with a frown, "I understand what you mean." Don't worry, even if the old lady of Hades let me lick the soles of her feet this time, I will admit it. It's not that I, Lao Cheng, really convinced her softness, but because of your righteous anger, I can either be dead or shameless! ”
"......" Xue Shao was really silent for a long time. For a person like Cheng Wuting, shamelessness is far more difficult than death.
"Okay, let's go back to Beijing now!" Xue Shao said, "I'll take you into the palace immediately...... Let's meet Hades! ”
……
In the evening, the sunset sprinkled on the head of the Xuanwu Gate of Daming Palace, and the flags flew over the armor in a forest, like an ancient and strong historical picture.
When Xue Shao and his entourage rode to a distance from Xuanwu Gate, they all reined in their horses.
"Brush, brush, brush—"
Almost as soon as the crowd stopped their horses, a row of arrows landed in front of their horses' hooves.
"The palace is forbidden, and trespassers will be killed!" The sergeant on the Xuanwu Gate shouted, "Who is coming, speed up the name!" ”
Xue Shao understands the rules here too well, if they go one step more without authorization just now, they will all be wronged under the arrow, and there is nowhere to talk about the reason. So he asked Guo An to raise his hand and raise an arrow, and shot a silk book that he had already written steadily on the city tower and nailed it to a pillar.
When the sergeant guarding the Xuanwu Gate saw that the other party had released the arrow, he immediately took the arrow together as if he was facing a great enemy, and waited for the battle. Of course, some people took off the arrow, took the silk book, and hurriedly ran away.
"Does that work?" Cheng Wuting said a little worriedly, "Why doesn't the young marshal walk the right way to the palace gate after dawn tomorrow and enter the palace to ask for a meeting?" ”
"It's still the same sentence, Hades is so difficult to see little ghosts." Xue Shao said, "Now almost no one knows that you have returned to the capital. Once the news spreads, I really don't know what kind of storm is going to happen. At that time, I'm afraid that before Hades pronounces the verdict, your fate will have been decided by those little ghosts. ”
"Capital!" Cheng Wuting sighed heavily, "This ghost place is far more dangerous than the battlefield on the frontier!" ”
A moment later.
The small door on the side of Xuanmen Wu was opened, and a person quickly ran out of it.
A general in bright armor and majestic looks like a moving iron spear when he runs.
"Li Duozuo, meet the young marshal!" His joy was palpable.
Xue Shao hurriedly smiled and nodded in response, and said, "I'll talk about it later." Now, I must enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother! ”
Li Duozuo quickly glanced at the few people behind Xue Shao, and his eyes widened significantly.
"Don't you recognize what you see?" Cheng Wu said very aggressively.
Li Duozuo couldn't help but smile bitterly, obviously immediately realizing what Xue Shao was going to do when he entered the palace.
"The surname Li, after the palace gate is closed, he secretly let others sneak into the palace, which is related to the killing." Cheng Wuting deliberately didn't open which pot to mention, and said suddenly, "What's more, it's still Lao Cheng's order to commit a crime, which is a big crime for the relatives." You have to think about it! ”
Li Duozuo smiled bitterly again.
Xue Shao nodded, "Evil is right. You have to think about it. ”
"Duozuo, there's nothing to think about." Li Duozuo took a step forward and took Xue Shao's reins and walked towards the Xuanwu Gate, whispering as he walked: "The Queen Mother took Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping to the palace to take care of her, and lived in the Penglai Hall together. ”
Cheng Wuting laughed behind them, "The surname is Li, you are stupid!" ”
Xue Shao completely ignored Cheng Wuting's voice, and was stunned on the spot, "Taiping is also there?" ”
Li Duozuo nodded, "I heard that I was about to give birth." ”
Xue Shao's heart suddenly felt like an electric current swept by, and a lot of strange things soon emerged. These things rushed back and forth in his mind and chest, almost setting his blood on fire. made him have a strong urge in his heart, wanting to appear in front of Princess Taiping in an instant.
Cheng Wuting was still there laughing, "What a fool!" ”
"Evil, have you laughed enough?" Xue Shao shouted angrily at Cheng Wuting so unceremoniously for the first time, "Laugh enough, just follow me!" ”
Cheng Wuting really didn't laugh, nodded, touched his nose, and couldn't help but grin and mutter: "Let's go, see the king of Hades!" ”
Xue Shao turned back to Wu Ming and the others: "When you go home, you have to entertain the fairy Gu well." Wait for me to come back. ”
"Yes!"
Xuan Yunzi smiled slightly, "Don't bother. Poor Dao to find a Taoist temple with a female crown to rest. I will visit the young marshal another day. ”
"When did you become so abrasive?" Xue Shao replied a little grumpy, "Don't go anywhere, just go to my house to rest." When I get back, I'll have a lot to ask you! ”
Xuan Yunzi's expression was quite surprised, he blinked his eyes a few times, and then nodded, "That is the case, the poor Dao is respectful!" ”
"Evil is coming, gone!"
Xue Shao and his entourage of three quickly walked into the Xuanwu Gate.
Xuan Yunzi's expression was still a little stunned. The moon slave was laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Xuan Yunzi looked at her sideways, "This kind of thing, is it worth your schadenfreude?" ”
Wu Ming consciously patted the horse and left first. The secret words of the two junior women, he was not interested in listening to them.
The moon slave thief came up a little awkwardly, and laughed quietly: "The son murders you, which means that he finally doesn't treat you as an outsider." ”
Xuan Yunzi blinked with a smile, "You mean...... Finally? ”
