Chapter 458: Plans and Changes
The old butler spoke intermittently, his breath was very weak, as if he was about to lose his breath in the next moment, and he barely finished it after ten breaths.
Yuan Bao'er bowed her body slightly, always very patient, her expression was also very gentle, and her eyes were very compassionate.
When the old butler finished speaking, he gasped rapidly, his chest rose and fell rapidly, his eyes turned upward, and his mouth opened wide, as if he was about to suffocate.
The old housekeeper's appearance was ordinary when he was young, and when he was old, his face was full of wrinkles and he had no eyes to see, and his painful and distorted appearance was terrifying, even in a place where the light was not obvious.
But he was probably too painful, and instead of paying attention, he struggled to lean towards Yuan Bao'er's face, as if he wanted to say something, but he was blocked by something and couldn't speak.
The old butler's appearance was so terrifying that even the military doctor, who was accustomed to seeing life and death, frowned and turned his face sideways.
But Yuan Baoer didn't hide.
"Say whatever you want, don't rush, take your time," she said, and instead of dodging, she tried to lower it, as if she wanted to hear it more earnestly.
The old butler's face twisted vigorously.
There were only three people in the room, and the military doctor didn't want to see the old butler's face, so he deliberately avoided it.
Yuan Bao'er had to press her body lower so that she could keep her ears close to his mouth, so she didn't have an angle to look at it at all.
In other words, no one can see the old butler's expression at this time, and he can show any expression to his heart's content.
For example, at this time, he twitched the corners of his mouth vigorously, and his eyes glared at Yuan Bao'er viciously, as if he couldn't wait to eat her raw.
Yuan Bao'er didn't seem to notice it at all, and was patient enough to wait for him to speak.
"You speak slowly," she said softly.
There was a rush of footsteps at the door, and Yuan Bao'er turned her head? See a soldier in armor? It was Gu Sheng's personal guard, and she stood up immediately? Walked over.
The old housekeeper saw her with a serious expression? The two whispered, and suddenly came to their senses.
He wanted to hear what the two of them were saying? But he's old, even if he has enough brains? Neither the eyes nor the ears were.
All he could see was the two of them's mouths moving? But I couldn't hear what was being said.
Especially when the military doctor walked over, he showed a surprised expression from a distance, and the speed of his speech increased significantly, and he tried to prick up his ears? I only heard a leaf word.
There are not many left in the Ye family now? The old butler's heart is most concerned about the head of the house he has served all his life.
He has been locked up here for so long, but he hasn't even seen the head of the family, and his anxiety can be seen.
However, the people here are too deep in his defense, even if he wants to know something? There are also no channels.
An opportunity like today, for him? It's extraordinarily rare.
Thinking that such an opportunity would not be available in an instant, the old housekeeper was even more anxious.
He was afraid that Yuan Bao'er would finish speaking? Struggled to sit up.
Just as I was about to go to the ground, I saw the military doctor turn his head? Look at him in amazement.
"Can you move?"
The military doctor strode over? One hand pressed on his wrist.
The old butler secretly screamed in his heart? I wanted to break free, but the medic had already let go of my hand.
"It's a miracle," the military doctor sighed, "Old man, your health is much better, and I think it won't be long before you get back to health." ”
"It's really good," Yuan Bao'er was also very happy, "I'm worried about you like this, the Ye family master doesn't know how anxious to be, and he doesn't know what to say." ”
"You can make a difference, but it really solves my problem."
The corners of Yuan Bao'er's happy eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and the whole person became bright.
The old housekeeper felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face, "You said the head of the house, where are the others?" ”
Since there is no play in pretending to be sick, it can only be understood.
The old housekeeper has done his best for the Ye family all his life, and even at the last moment of his life, he will not change his original intention.
Yuan Bao'er smiled, understanding his mood.
"You'll be able to see him when you're well."
The old butler's eyes lit up suddenly, "I'm ready, I can go." ”
He struggled to sit up, ready to get out.
The military doctor hurriedly stopped him and tried to dissuade him.
The old butler felt that he was in the way and wanted to push him away.
The soldier stepped forward with a cold face and pushed him back.
The old housekeeper is old and weak, and he can push the military doctor, but he is let by others, but the soldiers will not.
The old butler sat back on the couch in embarrassment, and the whole person fell on his back.
Yuan Bao'er frowned slightly, and reprimanded in a low voice for being presumptuous.
The soldier apologized as kindly, but his attitude remained the same.
Yuan Bao'er had no choice but to make amends instead of him and leave with the soldiers.
The military doctor told him to eat well, and he came out soon.
The gate quickly closes, keeping the bright sunlight out.
But at this time, the old butler's heart was very bright.
Since they let themselves see the head of the house, it means that the head of the house is still alive.
This is a pleasant surprise for the old housekeeper who always thought that the owner of the house might have been surprised.
Yuan Bao'er went back to the big tent and couldn't help laughing anymore.
Gu Sheng straightened up from the front of Kanyu, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "What kind of joy is this?" ”
Yuan Bao'er smiled and sat down, "He took the bait." ”
Gu Sheng laughed, not surprised at all.
The military doctor also gave his hand, "My lord is clever, that person is really pretending to be sick." ”
Yuan Bao'er's smile remained unchanged.
She also served her grandfather back then, and the old man was really sick, what kind of spirit was it, she was clear.
But thinking about the effort spent in order to see the master, Yuan Bao'er slowly suppressed her smile.
"I know, but I'm not going to continue."
Gu Sheng was a little surprised, "Do you have a better idea?" ”
Yuan Bao'er shook her head, "Even if it's bait, with his character, he will not be competent, it is better to send those greedy people who are afraid of death, if it is useless, it doesn't matter if it is dead." ”
Gu Sheng nodded immediately.
In fact, he has always thought so, but Yuan Baoer feels that he is separated from those people and the Ye family master, and he is separated from the identity of the concubine, even if he uses them, he is afraid that he will not be able to attract the Ye family master.
However, after seeing what the old butler had done, Yuan Bao'er didn't want to continue with her previous plan.
The old housekeeper's attitude towards the Ye family master reminded Yuan Baoer of Cui Xin.
When Boss Cheng was in prison, Yuan Baoer and Cuixin escaped from Zhuangzi in embarrassment.
At that time, Cui Xin was like this, in order to keep her alive, she did not hesitate to risk being caught, ran to tilt her head, help her get clothes, and hire a car.
Obviously, the two are almost the same age, even if she is a little older, she is only a few years older.
But she took on the responsibility of taking care of her.
is like this old housekeeper, knowing that he would die, he still replaced the identity of the head of the Ye family, just to give him a way to live.
"You," Gu Sheng sensitively sensed Yuan Bao'er's emotions, and he hesitated.
Yuan Bao'er smiled, "According to the plan." ”
In an instant, she adjusted her mood and motioned for the medic and soldiers to prepare.
Gu Sheng waited for everyone else to leave before he came to Yuan Bao'er and pulled her to sit down.
"What just happened?"
He asked softly.
Yuan Bao'er smiled, "I just think that loyal servants are rare, you and I are not murderous, there is no need to give up a life in vain." ”
Gu Sheng didn't think so.
He hadn't experienced life and death since he was a teenager, and even if he knew that the old butler was loyal enough to die for his master, it wouldn't be touching to him.
But he cared about Yuan Bao'er's emotions, and he didn't want Yuan Bao'er to bother with those who didn't matter.
"You're tired enough for this today, so let's go rest first."
He pushed Yuan Bao'er into the compartment, where there was a soft collapse where he could temporarily rest.
Yuan Baoer couldn't resist Gu Sheng, so she had to sit down.
Gu Sheng was afraid that she would be disobedient, so Tete helped her take off her shoes, watched her lie down, and helped her cover her with a thin blanket.
Yuan Bao'er pillowed on the soft pillow, tilted her head to look at the screen, Gu Sheng looked serious about her work, and the smile on the corner of her mouth never dissipated.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep and opened my eyes, and the sky was completely dark.
Yuan Bao'er lifted the blanket, and outside, Gu Sheng was looking at something, his expression was focused, and he didn't even notice Yuan Bao'er's approach.
Yuan Bao'er was a little strange.
You must know that Gu Sheng's martial arts are extremely high, even if there is movement a few zhang away, he can hear it clearly, not to mention that she is only half a zhang away from him.
She went over to Gu Sheng and looked at the note in his hand.
It was only at this time that Gu Sheng noticed Yuan Bao'er, and he almost reflexively crumpled the note into crumbs.
"Who came," Yuan Bao'er immediately realized that this letter was not trivial.
She never doubted Gu Sheng's heart for her, so Gu Sheng's actions were very suspicious.
can not let her see, and she has things that she wants to know very much, looking at the whole world, there are only a few people.
"Who's in trouble?"
Seeing Gu Sheng dodging, Yuan Bao'er asked.
Gu Sheng was silent and said in a low voice: "It's Cuixin." ”
"Who?"
The answer was so unexpected.
You know, Cui Xin is a very comfortable person in life, she usually doesn't go out of the house when she is idle, she knows that she runs all over the mountains and fields, and her body is still very good, how can such a person die?
"Message confirmed?"
Gu Sheng nodded with a gloomy face, "It was passed by a mouse." ”
That's a certain thing.
It is impossible for a rat to lie about this kind of thing.
"I," for a moment, Yuan Bao'er's mind went blank, and she didn't know what to say. ”
"Are you going back?"
Gu Sheng asked.
Even though Yuan Baoer and Cuixin have had less contact over the years, their relationship has not thinned.
Gu Sheng knew that in Yuan Bao'er's heart, at some point, his status might not be able to catch up with Cui Xin.
That's why I ask because I know it.
Yuan Bao'er hesitated and shook her head slightly.
She wanted to go back, but she couldn't.
The matter here has not yet ended, how can she, as a prison soldier, escape from the battle?
Reason told her that it was the right thing to do, but she was very sad in her heart.
"Don't cry, I'll tell the mouse, try to delay, let's step up here, let's rush back as soon as possible."
Yuan Bao'er didn't start, hugged Gu Sheng hard, and buried her head in his chest.
Gu Sheng could feel her body trembling, and he stretched out his big hand, rubbing her back lightly and heavily.
Yuan Bao'er cried for a while, feeling better, and the soldiers asked for instructions outside to come in.
Yuan Bao'er hurriedly let go of her hand.
At this time, her face was full of tears, and she didn't want to be seen, so she went to cover it.
Gu Sheng took a handkerchief and helped her wipe her face.
Yuan Bao'er didn't like it a little and wanted to dodge.
Gu Sheng grabbed her and forcibly helped her clean up, "Don't want to talk to me?" ”
Yuan Bao'er's cheeks flushed, "I'll do it myself." ”
In a hurry, she used some strength in her hands to snatch the handkerchief.
Gu Sheng took a slow time to react, and he was passively robbed of things.
Yuan Bao'er cleaned up her face in a mess, and the soldiers walked in.
"Lord Yu, General Yu, there is some movement on the other side of the riverbank, General Wen asked if it was the beginning?"
"Don't worry," Gu Sheng's expression was faint, "Let the brothers be patient, they are all hidden and waiting." ”
The soldiers were ordered to go out and communicate.
Yuan Bao'er was anxious, "Let's go over too." ”
She really wants to go to Beijing sooner, but the premise of going back is to clean up the rebels here.
Now it is clear that there is a reason why the people rebelled and rebelled.
In the final analysis, this incident was because Min Dudu was too oppressed, forcing the people to have no way to live, so they were forced to become traitors.
Even if these people cause chaos, they do not cause any irreversible damage.
Although the crime is true, it is not a crime to death, and there is still a glimmer of life.
Yuan Bao'er was already partial to the common people and tenants, but now that she learned that they were far away, she naturally stood on their side.
Gu Sheng is a typical tracheitis, and it is impossible to stand with Min Dudu.
Therefore, the plan they formulated was to wipe out the Ye family first, and then try it out for the first time.
A family that only has some money and does not even have a deep family background, how can it dare to argue with the officers and soldiers?
Gu Sheng was curious and wanted to know who gave them courage.
This is why after they found out that the old housekeeper had pretended to be the head of the Ye family, why Tete formulated a plan to arrest the head of the Ye family.
Gu Sheng didn't say what he suspected, but Yuan Bao'er was never stupid, and he followed the first-hand experience, how could he not guess?
However, Gu Sheng didn't say it, and Yuan Baoer pretended not to know.
But this thought came at a time when there was nothing to do before.
Now she desperately wants to go back, and naturally she wants to fight quickly.
Gu Sheng nodded slightly, turned his head to get the cloak and hat, and then went to the river bank with Yuan Bao'er.
At this time, the other side was calm, and there didn't seem to be half of the people.
There were five ambushes on their side.
By comparison, they were too serious.
General Wen saw the two of them coming over and was busy saluting.
Gu Sheng was worried about startling the snake, so he quietly waved his hand and motioned for him to go and busy himself, and he took Yuan Bao'er to get away from it.
Yuan Bao'er followed him all the way to another river beach.
The water level here is shallow and surrounded by a large shoal.
"You stay here."
Gu Sheng said.
Yuan Bao'er was stunned for a moment, and a map appeared in her mind, "What about them?" ”
Gu Sheng pointed into the distance, "Isn't that there?" ”
Yuan Baoer was stubborn when she was young, her sitting posture was very poor, and she couldn't sit still.
When she was young, she also suffered a lot in order to learn to write.
But even so, her eyes were not very good, and now as a mother, she skipped work during confinement, and some of the roots of the disease remained at that time.
