Chapter 287: Meeting in the Woods
Momiji couldn't figure out the situation either, she thought for a while and then replied: "Taifu, our secret guard has already discovered the whereabouts of that wizard, and my subordinates believe that soon the secret guard will be able to bring the wizard back to Kyoto, and then Taifu will be able to directly find out about the emperor's condition." ”
Gu Shengan nodded and replied: "Now I can only wait to catch this wizard, Hongye, you tell you to go down, and send more people to catch this wizard as quickly as possible." ”
"My subordinates understand."
Gu Shengan glanced at Hongye, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Hongye's knee and asked, "After kneeling for a day, is your leg okay?" ”
Hongye was stunned for a while before she realized that Gu Shengan was caring about her, and she hurriedly replied, "Thank you Taifu for your concern, the legs of my subordinates are not bad, and they are walking like flying." ”
"It's okay!"
Gu Shengan confessed: "Remember not to make such a mistake again, if there is anything abnormal in the emperor's body in the future, if you don't dare to say anything to her, you have to report her actual situation to me as soon as possible." ”
Song Jiu nodded one after another, she looked at Gu Sheng'an, and asked in a low voice, "Is the Taifu still returning to the emperor's bedroom?" ”
Gu Sheng thought for a while and said, "I have something urgent to deal with out of the palace, so I won't go back, you take care of the emperor." ”
Seeing Gu Shengan's grim face, Hongye was faintly worried in her heart, but Gu Shengan didn't tell her what it was, so she naturally wouldn't ask.
After Hongye watched Gu Shengan turn around and leave, he sneaked back to the Zhongyuan Palace.
As soon as Gu Shengan left the palace, he immediately walked towards the outskirts of Kyoto, he came to a small forest, at this time there was already a carriage parked directly inside, and the king of Donglin was sitting in the carriage, he heard footsteps outside, and immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage.
I saw him look at Gu Sheng'an walking slowly, and then said, "Gu Sheng'an, if you can't go directly to the county lord's mansion to find me, you have to ask me to come to such a remote place." ”
Gu Shengan smiled faintly and replied, "The County Lord's Mansion is too eye-catching, and it is not suitable for the two of us to talk about secret things." ”
Donglin Wang jumped directly from the carriage, he walked up to Gu Shengan, then raised his eyebrows at him, and asked, "Gu Shengan, you should tell me, how secret things do you want to tell me?" I hope what you've said makes me feel like this trip has not been in vain. ”
"King Donglin doesn't need to be so anxious, don't worry, what I want to talk to you about today is guaranteed to be something that you are very interested in."
Gu Shengan replied calmly: "Didn't you put forward the condition before for me to agree to the entry of the county lord of Sining into the palace?" I thought about it for a few days and agreed to your request. ”
Seeing that Gu Sheng'an said so simply, Donglin Wang didn't believe it for a while, only to see him staring at Gu Sheng'an for a long time before he spoke: "Do you really agree?" ”
"Of course." Gu Shengan replied: "Don't worry, I have always been true to my word, and I will never regret it." ”
King Donglin sneered, and he replied: "Gu Sheng'an, you are scheming, I can't trust you so easily." ”
"And what do you want me to do?"
Gu Shengan frowned before replying: "King Donglin, since you want to cooperate with me, then you have to believe me, if you keep doubting that I will calculate you, then the two of us have nothing to talk about." ”
King Donglin pondered for a while before replying: "Gu Sheng'an, if you want me to believe you, you can hand over the token for the mobilization of the Yulin Army to me first." ”
When Gu Shengan heard Donglin's words, his eyes moved slightly, and he stared at Donglin King for a long time before he sneered and replied: "What you said is really strange, the token that ordered the Yulin Army has always been in the emperor's hands, but I don't have it." ”
Donglin Wang's face immediately became a little ugly, and he replied: "Gu Sheng'an, don't try to fool me with this sentence, I already knew that the emperor handed over the token to you." ”
"I don't know where the king of Donglin got the news that I took the token?"
Gu Shengan's expression was serious, and he asked, "Did King Yu tell you?" ”
Donglin Wang's face was a little uncomfortable, his expression flashed, and he replied: "You don't care who told me the news, I'll just ask you, do you pay this token or not?" ”
Gu Shengan didn't directly answer King Donglin's question, he thought for a while, looked up and smiled, and said, "King Donglin, if I ask you to hand over to me the talisman that commands the entire southern border, will you be willing?"
As soon as Donglin Wang heard Gu Sheng'an mention the talisman, his face changed drastically, and he asked in a deep tone, "What do you mean by this?" Gu Sheng'an, you are so bold, you dare to fight my idea of a military talisman? ”
Gu Sheng'an stared at King Donglin coldly, and replied: "King Donglin, to be precise, you are too greedy, you are already a heavy soldier in your hands now, you still want the power of the court and the token in my hand, what do you want to do if you want to hold so much power in your hands?" ”
Facing Gu Sheng'an's questioning, King Donglin didn't know how to answer for a while, Gu Shengan didn't give him a chance to think again, only to see him approaching King Donglin step by step, and continued to ask: "King Donglin, do you want to rebel?" You want to get rid of my obstacle and then lead the troops north and fight for the throne in one fell swoop, don't you? Do you know that your idea is going to be punished by the Nine Clans? ”
Gu Sheng'an's words hit the heart of the Donglin King like a hammer, and at this time, the Donglin King's mind was full of the three words of the Zhujiu Clan that Gu Shengan said, he suddenly took a few steps back, and retorted with some panic in his eyes: "Gu Shengan, what nonsense are you talking about, I never thought of rebelling, don't give me the charge indiscriminately." ”
"Since you don't have this idea, then tell me, what do you want to do with the token of the Yulin Army?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just think that the token of the Yulin Army shouldn't fall into your hands, it's the emperor's thing."
Gu Shengan raised his head and smiled, his eyes stared at King Donglin, and asked in a cold voice: "King Donglin, what you said is too funny, right?" The token of the Yulin Army shouldn't be in my hand, should it be in the hands of you, the king with a different surname who holds the power of the army? I'm afraid you're more dangerous than me! ”
Regarding Gu Sheng'an's questioning, King Donglin was speechless for a while, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Gu Sheng'an, even if you refuse to give me the token of Yulin Army, then you must return the token to the emperor immediately, otherwise you are a wolf ambition." ”
"Don't worry, I will return the token to the emperor." Gu Shengan said lightly.
"When will it be returned?" Donglin Wang was aggressive, "I must make sure that the token has returned to the emperor." ”
Gu Shengan smiled sarcastically and replied: "King Donglin doesn't need to be so anxious, I will pay it back." ”
