Chapter 43: Mourning (9)
Gu Beicheng wanted to go to the Southern Jin Dynasty, but he did have selfish intentions, he knew that Medical Officer Miao Jing was dead, Lin Song let him go again, and he had seen Nan Xiao in the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, I am very worried about the safety of the Lin Mansion, the queen tried to murder Miaojing before, but she couldn't succeed, I wonder if she will take the opportunity to take the opportunity to anger Lin Miaoyin and fall into the well? If you don't see it with your own eyes, how can you feel at ease?
"But, mother......" Before Gu Beicheng's words were finished, Mrs. Zhuang Ji lightly touched his lips with her fingers.
Mrs. Zhuang Ji said in a soft voice with a pleasant face: "You are the king, how can you go in person?" You can just explain the matter to General Li Zhen. β
Gu Beicheng didn't want to anger Mrs. Zhuang Ji, he knew that once he angered his mother, he would not be able to get out of Beili City, so he nodded obediently and obediently.
"Mother has a point!" Gu Beicheng arched his hand, "That kid will write a letter and hand it to General Li Zhen at that time, he will understand after reading it." β
Mrs. Zhuang Ji looked at him with a smile and nodded her head, "Hmm! Very good, go ahead. β
Gu Beicheng turned around and walked towards the dormitory, not going to the Southern Jin Dynasty? That's impossible, since you don't agree, then go secretly!
"Someone!" Mrs. Zhuang Ji looked at Gu Beicheng's back as he walked away, and said to the palace people: "Pass my order!" Keep an eye on the king for me, and he will never be allowed to step out of the palace for half a step! β
Gu Beicheng returned to the dormitory, with a stroke of his pen, the letter was soon written, and as soon as he walked out of the dormitory with the letter, five or six palace people followed him inch by inch, hum, expected.
In the main hall, General Li Zhen and Mrs. Zhuang Ji had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Gu Beicheng coming, Li Zhen saluted, "Minister, see the king." β
"General Li is exempt!" Gu Beicheng handed the letter to Li Zhen, "All the things I asked the general to do are written in the letter." β
Li Zhen stretched out his hand to pick it up, Gu Beicheng pinched it, looked at Li Zhen meaningfully, and added: "The general will know when he goes back!" Then he let go.
Gu Beicheng and Li Zhen were originally masters and apprentices, just now, Mrs. Zhuang Ji can see them all, isn't there something hidden in this letter?
"I'll see, what's written?" Before Li Zhen could put the letter away, Mrs. Zhuang Ji walked over, quickly took the letter from his hand, and then opened it.
Two circles were drawn side by side in the center of the letter, a straight line was drawn vertically between the two circles, and then the two circles were connected with an arc, and a circle was drawn on the side alone, with a cross on the circle.
After reading it, Mrs. Zhuang Ji looked dazed, "This ...... What does that mean? β
General Li Zhen walked over, glanced at it casually, and explained: "The king means to form an alliance with the eastern corner to fight against the Southern Jin Dynasty, but he can't agree too much. β
Gu Beicheng applauded: "The general is really powerful!" That's exactly what it means! β
Mrs. Zhuang Ji guessed that she was afraid that the letter would be secretly read, so she used a painting to say, "Since you have understood the king's intentions, let me go of the letter." β
"Yes!" Li Zhen gave up.
β¦β¦
At night, just after the hour.
"Coo-coo......" A pigeon's cry came, and then he heard the sound of someone falling to the ground outside the door, Gu Beicheng got up and quietly opened the door of the dormitory, he poked his head out and found that the two palace people who were in charge of night duty at the door had been knocked unconscious.
He held the judge's pen in his hand and crept out, suddenly, someone knocked on his shoulder, and when he turned his head, it was a masked man in black, Gu Beicheng raised his pen and attacked this person.
The man in black grabbed his wrist with one hand, pulled down his scarf with the other, and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's me!" β
"Why are you here?" Gu Beicheng quickly looked around and whispered, "I thought you didn't understand the letter!" β
"Your Majesty, the carriage outside the palace has been prepared!" General Li Zhen arched his hand, "The guards inside and outside the palace are all my people!" β
"Let's go!" Gu Beicheng jumped up towards the roof, his body was as light as a swallow, and General Li Zhen followed, and the two of them tapped the glazed tiles, swept by like clouds, and floated towards the outside of the palace without leaving a trace.
The horse-drawn carriage galloped through the city, and the sound of horses' hooves and squeaky wheels was particularly clear in the middle of the night, and the tassels around the roof of the car kept shaking.
The moonlight sprinkled on the bluestone road paved a silvery white, making this already empty street more and more deserted, and the soldiers defending the city saw General Li Zhen's carriage coming, and quickly opened the city gate.
"Your Majesty, this time the minister secretly took you to the Southern Jin Dynasty, it is already very dangerous, everything needs to be discussed with the national teacher first, and you must not act rashly!" Although General Li Zhen took Gu Beicheng out, he was very worried in his heart, if there was something bad, killing him a hundred times would not make up for it.
"Don't worry!" Gu Beicheng moved to the side of the car curtain, opened it with his hand and looked at it, and found that this was not the way to the Southern Jin Dynasty, and asked curiously, "Where are we going?" β
General Li Zhen arched his hand: "In order to protect your safety, the ministers ordered a group of elites to gather ten miles away, and when the time comes, they will be stationed outside the city of the Southern Jin Dynasty in disguise as ordinary people, and there will be secret guards in the city to accompany them!" β
Gu Beicheng lowered the curtain, "Hmm! With a sigh, he sat back, leaned back on the carriage, closed his eyes for a while, and fell asleep.
In order to avoid complications, the team did not follow the official road, but chose the nearest path, day and night, non-stop, and when they arrived in the Southern Jin Dynasty, it was earlier than expected.
"Childe, wake up, it's here." Li Zhen patted Gu Beicheng lightly.
Gu Beicheng opened his eyes, lifted the curtain and saw that the carriage was parked in front of an inn in the northern city of the Southern Jin Dynasty, he got down from the carriage and looked up, this inn has a total of two floors, and the plaque at the door reads four big characters "Yuanlai Inn".
He turned around and looked around, in the northernmost part of the market, near the city gate, there was a small shop with a small faΓ§ade that was not too big, and the words "wide as a bookstore" on the door were eye-catching, Gu Beicheng smiled slightly, and followed Li Zhen into the inn.
"Yo, two guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?" Xiao Er came up to greet him warmly.
Li Zhen said politely: "The two upper rooms, be quiet." β
"Okay! Please come with me! Xiao Er took them upstairs, settled down, and turned around to get busy.
After sitting in the carriage for so long, as soon as he entered the room, Gu Beicheng lay on the bed, and General Li Zhen came out of the inn and went to the market to buy two hats and came back.
"Knock knock......" Hearing the knock on the door, Gu Beicheng got up, walked quickly to the door, and asked in a low voice, "Who?" β
"Childe! It's me! Li Zhen replied.
Gu Beicheng opened the door, only to see Li Zhen with a hat on his head and one in his hand, but the one in his hand was different from his head, and there was an extra circle of white light yarn that fell to his shoulders.
As soon as Li Zhen entered the house, he took the hat to Gu Beicheng, "Put it on when you go out, so as not to be recognized." β
After speaking, he sat down at the table in the room, poured a cup of tea, and drank it "Gu Dong Gu Dong", the weather was a little hot, and he was thirsty when he went out.
Gu Beicheng casually closed the door, looked at the hat in his hand, and said suspiciously: "Why does this look so much like the girl's family." β
General Li Zhen hurriedly swallowed the water in his mouth, "This is what the girl's family wears." The answer was very calm, "Hide people's eyes!" β
"Then why don't you wear it?" Gu Beicheng glared at him.
General Li Zhen patted his chest and replied righteously: "I'm a man!" β
Gu Beicheng: "......"
