Chapter 17: The Lord's Mansion (2)

"What's wrong?" Zhao Gu asked with a smile. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's nothing, it's just that you feel more real like this, the way you look when you're in prison or in the reeds, a little ...... A little scary of people. Su Xiaocheng poured a cup of tea for Zhao Gu and said with a smile.

"Really? That's because I wasn't allowed to have other thoughts at that time, otherwise I would have drunk Meng Po soup and gone up to the Nai He Bridge by now. ”

Su Xiaocheng nodded: "That's what I said, don't talk about this, tell me how you came up with the idea of spreading rumors to deal with Li Hao, I'm more interested in this." I didn't expect a hot-blooded man like you to think of this kind of yin damage method. ”

"How can there be a way that is not yin and not yin, only people are yin." Zhao Gu smiled bitterly, and then told the whole process of spreading Li Hao's rumors.

Su Xiaocheng interjected from time to time to ask, he would explain carefully, and she often expressed her opinions, trying to change Zhao Gu's plan.

The two chatted like this, and the topic seemed to have no end, from Li Hao to the prison, from Kaifeng to Liaoguo, from morning to noon, and from noon to noon, laughter continued.

It wasn't until an ethereal voice called Su Xiaocheng outside the door that the two realized that it had been a morning.

After smiling at each other, Su Xiaocheng opened the door and welcomed in a pretty woman.

The woman is about 20 years old, slightly taller than Su Xiaocheng, and slightly thinner than Su Xiaocheng, with a delicate figure, convex and backward.

Her appearance is very beautiful, but there is a faint trace of sorrow, wearing a green robe, swaying, the whole person stands there like a snow lotus on a high mountain, giving people a cold feeling.

Thinking that she was the sister of King Chai Jun of Yunnan, Zhao Gu took a step forward and hugged his fists: "I've seen Lord Cheshire." ”

The Cheshire Lord smiled: "Sir, you don't have to be polite, this thunder can get out of trouble, thanks to Mr. Planning." ”

Zhao Gu touched his nose, but did not answer.

When he designed Li Hao's rumors at that time, he didn't calculate Lei Xiang, it was Su Xiaocheng who later sent someone to tell him the news of Lei Xiang, and he spread the news that Lei Xiang was arrested.

Speaking of which, it is precisely because Lei Xiang is the personal soldier of the king of Yunnan that this has caused such a big noise, so that the current emperor has ordered a thorough investigation.

Therefore, it is not so much that the Lord of Cheshire should be grateful to Zhao Gu, it is better to say that Zhao Gu should be grateful to the Lord of Cheshire, if it were not for the King of Yunnan to seal the frontier, who was in a high position, and based on Li Hao's murder of himself alone, he would not have let the Criminal Department preside over the trial, let alone bring Li Hao down so quickly.

Therefore, Zhao Gu did not accept the Cheshire Lord's thanks, and said with a smile: "The county lord is serious, we can be regarded as cooperation at most, so you don't need to thank me." ”

Lord Cheshire glanced at him with a little surprise and nodded: "Okay, it seems that you all know that I borrowed Sister Xiaocheng's hand to help you with the thunder ring." But I still have to thank you, if you hadn't given me inspiration, Lei Xiang would still be in prison now. Don't you know, he and my brother are like brothers, in order to get him out of the prison in Kaifeng Mansion, Sister Xiaocheng and I have a lot of headaches. ”

Lord Cheshire is a very smart woman, and at the same time a principled woman, she said that if she wants to thank Zhao Gu, she must thank Zhao Gu, she looked down and thought about it, she took out a folded piece of paper from her sleeve.

Zhao Gu curiously took the paper and found that there was a line of small characters written on it.

It was strictly stated that Zhao Gu could take this paper to the treasury of the county lord's mansion and withdraw a thousand copper coins as a reward for the Cheshire lord to thank him for saving Lei Xiang.

1,000 copper coins, which is equivalent to 1 million yuan in the 21st century! (1,000 copper coins are equal to the same copper coins, equal to 1,000 dollars in later generations)

Zhao Gu was about to excuse himself, but the Cheshire Lord spoke first, and said, "Mr. Zhao, I know that you don't want to accept this money, but not to mention that you have really helped me a lot, even if it is for Sister Xiaocheng, you have to accept this money." ”

"What does it have to do with Xiaocheng?" Zhao Gu asked puzzled.

Lord Cheshire smiled: "Sister Xiaocheng is not young anymore, if you don't save more money, what will you do to marry her." ”

"County Lord." Su Xiaocheng didn't expect the Cheshire Lord to suddenly come out like this, and he blushed in an instant, and secretly looked at Zhao Gu with his eyes.

"So, this is for me to make a fortune?" Zhao Gu smiled, glanced at Su Xiaocheng, put away the voucher, and said, "Okay, I'll accept this money first, and I will return it to the county lord later." ”

Lord Cheshire nodded noncommittally: "Now we can go to dinner, you two talk endlessly, and I have let the cook heat up the dishes in the dining room." ”

This sentence was exchanged for Su Xiaocheng's coquettishness, Zhao Gu smiled, and followed the Cheshire Lord into the dining room.

The Lord of Cheshire ordered someone to serve the food, and after lunch, Zhao Gu, the Lord of Cheshire, invited him into her study.

"Is the county lord looking for me?" Entering the study, Zhao Gu asked.

The Cheshire Lord poured a cup of tea for Zhao Gu and said, "There is indeed something." Who instructed Li Hao to deal with you this time, do you have a suspicious target? ”

Zhao Gu shook his head, and Lord Cheshire smiled noncommittally: "Sooner or later, you will know." ”。

"It seems that the county lord already knows?" Zhao Gu asked.

The Cheshire Lord nodded, and Zhao Gu asked again, "What the county lord said has something to do with him?" ”

"Yes."

As he spoke, the Cheshire Lord organized his language and said abruptly, "I told the old man that this rumor was spread by you. ”

"Old man?"

Zhao Gu smiled bitterly, he had been in Kaifeng for many days, and he had deliberately checked the information of the officials of the current dynasty in order to deal with Li Hao, so he naturally knew that the only old man who could be solemnly mentioned by the Lord of Cheshire.

"What did he say?" Zhao Gu asked.

"He admires you." Cheshire Main Road.

Zhao Gu took the teacup handed over by the Lord of Cheshire and took a sip of tea: "County Lord, you have something to say, but I heard that it is not a good thing to be remembered by that old man." ”

"Giggles, you're funny." The Lord of Cheshire glanced at him, and Zhao Gu was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled and said: "The old man has served the country and the people all his life, and now that he is old, his biggest concern is in the north." ”

"Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures?" Zhao Gu asked.

"Yes." Lord Cheshire blinked and smiled faintly.

Zhao Gu groaned, and quickly figured out the key.

As the Lord of Cheshire said, the old man has been serving the country and the people all his life, and now although he is old, he is still tired of military affairs, and his greatest wish in this life is to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

And the reason why he found Zhao Gu must be because in the rumors spread by Zhao Gu before, he said that he had information in his hands that he could recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

The old man had the idea of stabbing a rod with or without dates, so he found Zhao Gu.

If he really has a way to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, he will naturally be happy, and if there is no way, there will be no loss to the old man.

"By the way, the high-ranking official who asked Li Hao to deal with you already knows the news that you are still alive, the old man asked me to pass on the news to you, if you can't come up with the news that can help the imperial court recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, when that high-ranking official personally deals with you, the old man will not help." Lord Cheshire said suddenly.

"What!"

Zhao Gu was a little blindsided, the high-ranking official behind Li Hao actually knew the news that he was still alive!

So what will he do next? If he dealt with Zhao Gu himself, would Zhao Gu still have his life to escape?

Although I don't know who he is, the person who can make the old man wary of it is not 'powerful' two can be described as 'powerful'.

Zhao Gu had a feeling of being targeted by a wolf, and a trace of cold sweat inexplicably appeared behind him.

"So, I have to take out this news of the takeback of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?" Zhao Gu asked tentatively.

Lord Cheshire didn't speak, just nodded, and everything was silent.

Zhao Gu smiled bitterly, he originally said that there was news of the repossession of the sixteen states of Yanyun, it was to create public opinion, attract the attention of the people, and deal with Li Hao.

He didn't expect that in just a few days, he would fall into this pit he had dug himself.

If the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were so easy to recover, the Great Song Dynasty would not have fallen in history and did not take it back, Zhao Gu asked himself that in addition to having more than a thousand years of memory than the people of this world, he was not smarter and more capable than anyone else, what everyone couldn't do, why could he do it?

But now it's no longer possible, otherwise who knows that one day he will be quietly killed, Zhao Gu had to bow his head and ponder, hoping to find a way to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun with the extra thousand years of memory.

Slowly, a plan took shape in Zhao Gu's mind.

At present, many people are speculating that there will be a catastrophe this year, and the weather will be extremely cold at that time, which seems to be a good opportunity!

The Cheshire Lord looked at Zhao Gu quietly, and laughed in his heart, although the words she said before were the original words of the old man, but the old man also said that if Zhao Gu really couldn't come up with an idea, the old man would not embarrass him, on the contrary, he would keep him, but she just didn't want to say the second half of the old man's words.

For some reason, she found it amusing that he was frowning and contemplative, so she thought about embarrassing him and making his eyebrows furrow a little longer.

The Cheshire Lord didn't expect that Zhao Gu, who was in deep thought, gradually figured out his thoughts, and quickly formulated a plan to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun in his mind.

Zhao Gu suddenly raised his head and grinned, "I thought of it." ”

"Huh?" This time, the Cheshire Lord was surprised, and the jade hand covered his mouth and looked at the man in front of him blankly.

Zhao Gu smiled and slowly said his plan.

Lord Cheshire listened intently, and the more he listened, the tighter his heart became, and the two jade hands unconsciously pinched together, and her fingers swayed unconsciously, obviously she had been shocked.

After a long time, Zhao Gu stopped, and the Cheshire Lord was still wandering outside, Zhao Gu couldn't help but feel funny, so he woke her up with a light cough.

Lord Cheshire looked at him like a monster: "You'd better pray that your plan won't be implemented, otherwise you may become a big man in the future." ”

"That's not good?" Zhao Gu was puzzled.

"Of course not?" Lord Cheshire affirmed.

"Why?"

"Because in that case, you will be powerful and marry a lot of concubines, and then my little sister will be unhappy, and I will avenge her and beat you up again and again."
