Chapter 222: Fires Everywhere
"Leaving the capital?" Ruoyun repeated it slowly, and the whole person was stunned, "When?" Why? ”
"Dingzhou is tricky, I have to go." He hugged the two medicine boxes, and walked to the door of the pharmacy as he spoke, "Rong Jinhuan will handle the matter of leaving the country himself, and he will also be properly deployed in Beijing when he leaves, and the troops stationed in Beijing are just sending each other, not far." ”
"Dingzhou?" Ruo Yun's face changed greatly as soon as he chewed slightly, and in a hurry, he reached out against the medicine box in his hand, intercepted him and said, "Could it be that Bai Ze has something to do?" ”
"It's still inconclusive, though." Huai Xuanmo turned one hand into a support, holding the medicine box steadily, and with the other hand, he took out a small porcelain jar from his wide sleeve and stuffed it for her, "If there is an emergency, I will go back to Fusu in advance, you stay here to be safe, I may not come back, this is in case of emergency." ”
Ruoyun caught it in a daze, and the whole person was stunned: "You mean, it's so serious that you have to withdraw to Fusu?!" She thought about it for a moment, and her heart sank to the bottom, "You went to heal people?" Who was hurt? Baize? Huai Xuanmo, you take me! ”
After Huai Xuanmo gave her the porcelain jar, he retreated slightly, and easily shook off her entanglement according to the medicine box, not only did he not answer a single question, but he also pretended not to hear the last loud request.
"Huai Xuanmo, you ......" Ruoyun stared at his back, but she was angry but had nothing to do, and immediately rushed back to the courtyard after a moment and began to clean up the cabinets.
She should have expected that there must be something wrong with Huai Xuanmo looking for herbs like this, and she didn't suspect him for a while when she saw him dressed in ink-colored simple clothes, but she didn't know that he had already planned to set off, and he said he would leave. She wasn't given time to react at all.
Rou Yan bit the glutinous rice dumplings, and when she saw that no one next to her withdrew the suitcases full of clothes and picked them out one by one, she rubbed over curiously. I couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what are you doing here?" ”
"I'm going to Dingzhou to see what's going on." Ruoyun replied without replying.
"Dingzhou?" Rou Yan was not familiar with the states of Tianyi, so she looked at her silently for a while, and pulled her sleeve with some worry and said, "Sister, what is it...... Brother Wang...... there"
"The capital is impregnable. No one will move for a while. Ruoyun replied with some assumptions.
"And when are you coming back?" Rou Yan was a little anxious.
"Soon, you stay here obediently, don't wander around." Ruoyun didn't want to say anything.
"Hmm." Rou Yan nodded slightly disappointed. Obediently stepped aside.
Ruoyun stopped what she was doing, and half-knelt and half-squatted in front of the clothes box motionlessly, but after a while, she slowly stuffed the things she found back again.
Her first reaction was that the situation was serious, and she wanted to go to Dingzhou to see what was going on without thinking. But this impulse was all caused by Huai Xuanmo's silence. Rou Yan asked her when she would come back to her senses.
The weather is a little cold, according to Huai Xuanmo's explanation, when the snow falls, it will be difficult for the puppet to move freely, so Dingzhou can also be self-defeating, why suddenly there is a change?
The only thing that makes sense is that someone is planning something, and the worst possibility is that the Qingping Sect, which has not moved for a long time, is looking for a great opportunity. She had a secret guard to follow. Although safety is not a problem, if you go to Dingzhou, you may not be able to help Baize and add to the chaos. And if she really walks away. Once the situation changes, I am afraid that no one will care about leaving the country anymore.
Huai Xuan's implication is that he may never return to the capital, so does Bai Ze also have the intention of never returning to the capital? Although he promised her that he would send her back to Longhua Villa when he came back from Dingzhou, but now that he thinks about it, this is obviously an excuse to keep her out of the matter. Even if she figured it out at the moment, she must not go easily, she could not contribute in Dingzhou, and it was also a good strategy to prevent changes in the capital.
Ruoyun thought like this, silently closed the several boxes side by side, and sat beside Rou Yan with a sigh.
"Sister?" Rou Yan hurriedly stuffed the last bit of glutinous rice dumplings into her, looking at her with some uneasiness.
Ruoyun looked at her expectant eyes and said with a smile: "At first, I wanted to go, but seeing that it was about to enter winter, I didn't have to travel far, and when I found the right one, I will take you to meet your brother Wang." ”
"Good!" Rou Yan immediately laughed, "Yan'er knows that my sister will not leave me." ”
"Hmm." Ruoyun reached out and touched the top of her hair, looked at her dark and bright eyes, and replied affirmatively.
Rou Yan finally relieved, suddenly blinked to her, and said softly: "Sister, you look good when you smile, you have to smile more in the future." ”
Ruoyun was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, and Fang Cai's heart was like a numbness.
Later, Ruo Yun summoned the secret guards to ask and found nothing, so she had to be patient and wait for the news for the time being, and at the same time thinking that the matter of asking Lord Chu should be done as soon as possible, she only knew enough before she could think about what to do.
Accustomed to the few servants of the Huai Palace, she wandered around the dimly lit courtyard alone, but she did not feel afraid, and walked along the path, passing through the round door, and saw the antechamber that had been lit with a few lamps as usual.
Huai Xuanmo really left the capital overnight, and even the affairs at hand were sent to several officials, and every time there was a knock on the door to inquire about government affairs, and then the subordinates who were sent away did not come. The medicine storage compartments on both sides were all sealed, and only some files were left in the study, and the front hall and back hall of Huaiwang's Mansion were dim at night.
Since she figured out that Bai Ze let her stay in the capital for safety reasons, she began to suspect more and more that her return to Beijing was not only Rong Jinhuan's trick, but also Cheng Qingxuan's quiet arrangement. That day, he said according to her meaning that she had almost no suspicions, and if he was now put on the same reason as Bai Ze, he would stay alone in Longhua Villa instead of choosing to accompany her to Beijing, he must have considered something.
She counted the time, the more she thought about it, the more worried she felt, she thought that more than one month was enough to return to Longhua Villa, so she was relieved to do what she wanted in Beijing, and deliberately did not think of him, just because she was afraid that she would never be at ease if she thought about it like this.
He always looked peaceful and uneventful, holding Fusu as if he were nothing, and never mentioning any danger he encountered in front of her, all the actions he constructed, not so much that he liked to conceal it, but that he never wanted her to be involved in it and put herself in danger, not so much that she knew it later, but that he was completely unaware of it.
At present, Dingzhou is in distress, Hongzhou is not down, Rong Jinhuan is not in Beijing, she always feels that it is really unusual for Qingping Sect and Zhao Wuyang to be so quiet, and she never mentioned it when she asked those secret guards, which made her feel more and more that something was wrong, but she saved Rou Yan, and she couldn't leave it alone, it was really difficult for people to advance or retreat.
Ruoyun stood alone on the right path, buried her face in her palm, trying to calm herself and stop thinking, but the images of the past had already annihilated her like a flood that opened the floodgates, making her sit on the steps and shrink into a ball as if she was unable to sit on the steps.
After a while, a few clear horse neighs came from afar in the silence, and then the door was knocked, and someone talked to the guards at the door and hurriedly walked in, and saw Ruoyun holding a cloak on the steps of the front hall and losing her soul was stunned at first, and then coughed lightly, hugged her fists and said: "Concubine Xian, the lower official is polite." ”
Ruoyun listened to this familiar voice in a trance, looked up in despair, and looked at the delicate scholar's face, and then looked at the scholar wearing a water-patterned robe, looking at her with a smile.
"Master Gu." She recognized that this was Gu Yinzhao, and was a little unhappy when she saw him so casually, so she hurriedly stood up and said, "This is King Huai's Mansion, you should know that King Huai left Beijing, not to mention what your intention is to come here late at night, you should always know that I am no longer a virtuous concubine, why is this called?" ”
Gu Yinzhao ignored the obvious displeasure on her face, and still replied respectfully with the calmness she came: "It's only a matter of time before you are called Niangniang, could it be that Niangniang still doesn't know the emperor's thoughts?" ”
"Messing around." Ruoyun glared at him unceremoniously.
Gu Yinzhao looked at her somewhat depressed expression, coughed lightly without care, and then said: "The lower officials came not to look for Prince Huai, but to learn that Miss Su lives in this Huaiwang Mansion, and came to ask to see her." ”
"I'm a woman, so I can't help Master Gu. The guards of the Huaiwang Mansion are really going to be punished, and anyone can let them in. Ruoyun saw that he was so serious, and thought that it was definitely not a good thing, so she turned around and wanted to leave.
"Miss Su, Gu really needs Miss Su's help in person." Gu Yinzhao quietly blocked her way and took out a piece of paper to show it.
Ruoyun took a look at it through the dim light, this was clearly an urgent report with several seals, and she couldn't help but be a little shocked: "This is ......"
"The emperor has an order, once the urgent news comes, he will order the officials to go to the west of Yizhou. Gu thought about it, this trip must have Miss Su to achieve the goal. Gu Yinzhao sold the pass and stuffed the emergency report in his hand to her.
Ruoyun subconsciously reached out to catch it, couldn't help but be full of suspicions, or slowly entered the hall, and immediately changed her face after reading it, and exclaimed: "The emperor met the Qingping Sect on the way after Xuanzhou South, and was trapped at the junction, this is ...... How is this possible?! Since the liquidation order, the Qingping Sect still has this strength? When she said this, she felt bad, even if Rong Jinhuan brought elite soldiers, it would be difficult to parry the ambush soldiers who had been hiding for many days.
"Alas, the emperor is short of manpower, and it is reasonable to be targeted." Gu Yinzhao sighed with regret on his face, and his eyes looked at the emotional Ruoyun with a cunning look.
Ruoyun heard him say this, raised her hand and threw the emergency report back to him, and said angrily: "Gu Yinzhao, you came up with such a bad idea of risking your life?!" ”
"The lower officials were wronged, the emperor insisted on going his own way, and also ordered that if there was danger, he ordered me to find a way to persuade Prince Rong to surrender and collect his troops, this kind of thing is not trivial, Gu will never push himself into the fire pit." Gu Yinzhao said and looked up at the sky very innocently.
"Lord Rong?" Ruoyun felt even more unbelievable, "If the emperor is in distress, then the capital will be in chaos, and Rong Yixuan will be lucky not to wait for the opportunity to move, but you want to persuade him to surrender?" ”
The words seemed to be in Gu Yin Zhao's arms, he smiled calmly, and pleaded: "Miss Su is smart, she knows that this is a hundred thousand urgent things, and she has to help the lower officials." (To be continued......)
