Chapter 3: Leaving Beijing
Yong'an three years, after the Mid-Autumn Festival,
Gu Mo left Beijing with his men and horses, and on the city wall, Emperor Li Huai looked at Gu Mo who was leaving, and suddenly lowered his head and smiled.
At this moment, Gu Mo turned his head and didn't see the familiar figure, but looked at the unfamiliar face in his team and shook his head.
If you take a serious look at Gu Mo at this moment, you will find that the person who fought with Bai Ziqing in the past is gone, replaced by a calm and decisive person, of course, it will inevitably have a trace of immaturity.
When the people walked to Mosanguan, which was a thousand meters away from Beijing, they only heard Gu Mo say: "Come out, how long do you have to hide!" Don't tell me, you have to follow me to Gusu. โ
"That, that, when did you find me!"
As soon as Gu Mo turned his head, he saw a person with 'flour' on his face, looking sickly, "Hmph, what do you say, do you think your head is too stable on your neck." โ
After he said this, Bai Ziqing also said with a straight face: "Yes, how did I forget this stubble, Ah Mo, this emperor may be waiting for you to enter the set, don't be stupid to drill into it!" โ
Gu Mo glanced at him: "Do you think I'm as stupid as when I was in the capital?" However, I can't be too sharp, after all, many of the people in this team are people from the emperor, such as our General Yang, who followed me to Gusu this time, a total of more than 40 people, but nearly half of them are the eyeliner placed by the emperor beside me. โ
Bai Ziqing looked at him, and then said: "As the saying goes, those who control the military power are like mastering most of the world, this emperor, now let you go to Gusu, just to see your ability, if you behave like in the capital, then he will be relieved, he will think that you have no intention of participating in the court, if you are too dazzling, the emperor may let General Yang... ยทยทยทโ
After that, he made a movement to wipe his neck.
Gu Mo pondered for a while, and before he could speak, he saw General Yang coming, so he said happily: "Bai Ziqing, you want to come with me!" Great, we can go to dig for eggs and catch fish together. โ
Before Bai Ziqing could speak, he heard General Yang's rough voice: "You, who, the emperor said to let you come!" You follow the army without permission, do you want me to hurt you a little! โ
Bai Ziqing raised his eyebrows without a trace and said: "Bai Ziqing, the grass man, is the son of the housekeeper of the Gu family, today I know that the little master is leaving home, come to see him off, and ask the general to let the little one go, and the little one will leave after saying a few words to the master." โ
Yang Dirong didn't say anything, just glared at him fiercely and left.
"Amo, the emperor has the intention to get me into the imperial court, and wants me to be his confidant, I can't pretend anymore, it is estimated that in the capital, the emperor looks at me, and he wants to jump off the beam like a clown, so, I plan to participate in the imperial examination next year, and I plan to have a showdown with the emperor, but you, you remember, you must not show your feet, otherwise the emperor will not let you go."
Gu Mo nodded invisibly: "Ziqing, be careful, with your intelligence, it will be safe for you to stay in the court and be protected by the emperor." โ
When Bai Ziqing heard him say this, he was angry and wanted to laugh, and finally turned into a clear cough and said, "Are you really stupid!" With my ingenuity, if I want to get out, there will be a way to get out. "It's just that the cost is not small.
Of course, he didn't tell Gu Mo about the last sentence.
And Yang Dirong, who had just left, couldn't figure out why the emperor didn't let Bai Ziqing move, could it be that his usefulness was greater than that of Gu Dashuai's son?
General Yang thought about this question for a long time, but he didn't come up with it, so he didn't think about it anymore, he felt that as long as he could protect his family and defend the country.
And over there, in the emperor's bedroom, a man in black knelt respectfully on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the housekeeper's son follows Gu Mo, do you need your subordinates to bring him back?" โ
"No need, he will come back, Gu Mo now has no Bai Ziqing, even if I don't do it in Gusu, it is estimated that he will not live long, but I am afraid that this 'lion' is pretending to be asleep!" I don't have to. โ
The man in black said: "The 'lion' that the emperor said refers to Gu Mo!" โ
The emperor nodded cautiously, and the man in black said: "He is just a wingless bird now, and he can't make any splash even if he flutters." โ
"No... You look at it too one-sidedly, too one-sided. โ
Maybe the emperor was in a good mood and even said a few more words to this hidden guard, or maybe he understood, so he waved him away.
