31. a cowhide bag

Li Fuguo smiled hesitantly, sent those people away, left him by his side, pretended to be a little eunuch, and did some errands in the palace.

Later, he also helped himself find his sister, although his sister had been caught by a gang of hooligans and sold into a green house. But he was still grateful for his kindness.

With this kindness, Li Fuguo also slowly explained some special tasks to him.

Although he had been reduced to a petty thug, these new tasks were very resistant to him at first, and even now, he was ashamed and guilty of some of the things he had done.

I remember that the first errand was to spy and blame.

There is a master Langzhong in the ministry, who offended Li Fuguo because of his correction and outspokenness. After sending Yu Nuohai to follow up and spy and find some clues, he found that this Lord Langzhong had a brother-in-law, who only came to Taifu Temple half a year ago, and this official Langzhong and Taifu Temple Shaoqing are old friends.

Immediately, they forged letters and other things, and quietly put them in each other's study. framed the two of them for offering and accepting bribes and buying and selling official positions.

The official Langzhong and the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple were both released, and the brother-in-law was naturally dismissed.

And then things like that got worse.

Yu Nuohai would resist at first, but he was often struck by Li Fuguo's clever words, constantly poking at the sore spot in his heart, scolding him for being a thief, a lowly person, a maggot-like person, who is not worthy of bargaining with his master, and a person who does not repay his kindness is not even as good as maggots.

Yu Nuohai's soul struggled in the whirlpool, perhaps in order to prove that there was still the last glimmer of light in his humble life, and he wanted to be a person who at least knew how to repay his kindness.

Slowly, he accepted those statements and tasks.

Later, Li Fuguo arranged for him to learn martial arts from a stranger, which would be of great use in the future. When he completes his martial arts, all kinds of tasks will become more intensified, and there will even be some naked assassinations handed over to him to do.

In the net woven by Li Fuguo, Yu Nuohai began to sink deeper and deeper.

Originally, he also thought that when he saved enough money, he would redeem his sister, and the two of them left Chang'an and flew away to live an ordinary and peaceful life.

Unexpectedly, my sister was beaten to death by a brutal guest.

He began to develop a lot of hatred for this world, and some things were done to make it less troublesome.

It wasn't until he met that person again that a fire rekindled in his heart.

On one occasion, he failed in an assassination mission, leaving all the people he had with him dead, and he himself was seriously wounded and shot several arrows in the leg. He hid in a small wood, almost waiting for death.

It happened that the king of Guangping was hunting with a team of men and horses, and found him. The king of Quang Binh immediately ordered the imperial physician accompanying him to pull out the arrow cluster for him to stop the bleeding and treat him.

The prince was dedicated to saving people, and after the imperial doctor bandaged his wounds, he briefly interrogated a few words. Of course, Yu Nuohai lied.

The king of Guangping didn't seem to believe him, but he didn't expect that he was injured because of the failed assassination, but he was a prodigal ranger who did not respect the law, probably because he fought with people for the sake of a momentary will.

King Guangping rescued him, took him to a temple in Chang'an City, handed him over to a monk to take care of, and gave him some silver taels before leaving.

In his heart, he was grateful, and suddenly woke up the memory in his heart, it was a winter a long time ago, and it was covered with goose feather snow.

He and his sister live in a dilapidated cave. He couldn't remember how old he was, but he was still very young, too young to take care of himself.

My mother was sick with a cold and was dying. The siblings begged all the doctors in the city, but no one would come to see them. The two ragged children looked like they couldn't afford the consultation.

They couldn't even eat, and the siblings were hungry for two or three days, and all the food they could get was given to their sick mother.

At that time, he suddenly remembered that the noble son in brocade clothes he met in the wind and snow was the king of Guangping. It was he who gave himself and his sister silver taels, and bought a lot of hot steamed buns. My mother died anyway because she was too weak.

He suddenly realized that King Guangping and Li Fuguo were two completely different people, and although they both gave him great favors, their personalities were very different.

Some people have helped you, turned around and left. Some people keep telling you and hinting at you about their kindness to you.

He also knew that he and King Guangping were not the same kind of people.

But he still couldn't help it, and found an opportunity to thank King Guangping in person for his treatment, and confessed that in the winter many years ago, the poor people in the broken kiln he helped were the little boy.

Since then, although he is still helping Li Fuguo do things without saying a word, his heart has changed.

He no longer cares about the intimacy between Li Fuguo and He Lanshou. He was alone and happy to live.

However, the current contradictions between Li Fuguo and the kings of Guangping and Jianning are becoming more and more intense. He had to make a choice, or one day he wouldn't know what to do with the two.

Just two days ago, he suddenly discovered a secret.

Yu Nuohai had long found out that Li Fuguo trusted Helan Shou more. The two of them have a lot of secrets to hide from themselves, although the things in the prosecutor's hall are all shady. But in this darkness, there seems to be a deeper darkness hidden.

He didn't understand that he was also a child raised by Li Fuguo since he was a child, so how could he be different from Helan Shou? In particular, when Li Fuguo knew that he had a sister, his attitude towards himself changed subtly.

He forced himself to let go, anyway, there were many people who worked hard for him, and he was just one of the pawns. He even began to deliberately avoid the secret moments of Li Fuguo and He Lanshou, trying not to bump into the moments when the two of them met alone.

But when he found out about the secret room that he had known nothing about for many years, and glimpsed their secret conversation, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The prosecutor's hall is in a very hidden corner of the imperial city, but the scale is not small. In addition to the halls and halls of the council, there are dozens of houses, some of which have been used as dormitories, and some of which have been deserted.

He was familiar with the whole place, what each house does, where people can enter and who cannot. There are even several secret rooms and so on.

That day, he saw Helan Shou go to a deserted courtyard at the back. What was there? He had been there more than once.

Yu Nuohai quietly followed, hiding in the shadows. There was only a thick layer of snow and a few dead trees in that yard.

saw He Lanshou walking to a stone pillar, holding the stone pillar with both hands and slowly turning. The structure of the entire compound also began to change.

The original two-story building gradually disappeared, and a wooden tower seven or eight stories high appeared. It turns out that this place has been protected by an extremely powerful trap and eye shielding method.

Helan Shou entered the tower and soon came out again, and it seemed that he was familiar with the situation inside.

Yu Nuohai took a closer look and found that the original shriveled cowhide bag on his body seemed to contain something that had been brought out of the tower.

Helan Shou rented a carriage and circled around the alleys a few times, and Yu Nuohai followed all the way.

The carriage came all the way to Qujiangchi.

Since the Qin Dynasty, it has been a royal garden, with vast waters like rivers. After the Han and Tang dynasties, several large-scale expansions, in addition to the royal garden, there are some places for the people in Chang'an City to enjoy.

In the cold winter, there are not many visitors in the Qujiang Pond, only a few literati and rioters, lingering in one or two pavilions, warm wine welcome, poetry and singing.

The snow on the road was very thick, and there was a sound on the road, so Yu Nuohai had to follow from a distance, and he didn't dare to get too close.

Helan Shou came to a shore where a dilapidated boat was moored.

The water in the pond was already frozen and thick, and many boats had already been towed ashore and maintained before winter.

Helan Shou stopped, broke a branch of a small tree, forked up a few pieces of snow and put it in his mouth, and ate it. He seemed to like the cold feeling. Immediately, he grabbed the snow on the ice, gathered a few snowballs, and threw them a few times into the distance.

Yu Nuohai smiled, knowing that the rough and silent man in front of him was just playing on a whim.

If it weren't for today's situation, he really hadn't seen Helan Shou's innocent and happy side.

In fact, the relationship between the two of them is not bad, and they even treat Helanshou as a big brother many times, and Helanshou has always regarded him as a little brother.

Helan Shou threw the last snowball on his face and rubbed it vigorously, and he could see the hot air on his face from a distance, and his face was red.

Immediately, with an almost imperceptible movement, he threw the cowhide bag into the broken ship. Man, continue to walk forward.

Those who do their job are not going back.

With Helan Shou's status in the prosecutor's office, this kind of trivial matter of sending letters no longer needs to be done by him personally.

It can only show that the contents of this leather bag are very important, and the person who put away this goods must be more mysterious and more important.

Seeing that Helan Shou had gone away, Yu Nuohai hurriedly took a few steps forward, found a more hidden place, and hid.

In other words, he had to go forward to inspect the goods to see what was in the bag to ensure the safety of the mission. But today, that's too risky.

More than two hours have passed, and Yu Nuohai is still waiting, and things are a little abnormal. Because such drop-off points are obviously temporary, the handover will be completed by both the sender and the receiver within a very short agreed time.

After some time, the drinking and singing people in the pavilion also extinguished the fire and beckoned each other to go back.

It turns out that they have been here for a long time.

When the group of people shook their heads and talked all the way, and when they passed by the broken ship, one of them staggered to the broken ship, picked up the cowhide bag, and followed everyone casually, and walked all the way.

Yu Nuohai quietly followed.

There were six or seven people on the other side, and two or three boys were responsible for carrying stoves, food boxes and other things. It seems that it is no different from the literati who come to cook wine and watch the snow on weekdays.

The group was very careful and did not go to any special places, but when they came to a ruined temple, the middle-aged man who had picked up the leather bag took out the things.
