Chapter 273: The Voice of the People
This is an ordinary wing room in the Earl's Palace, looking at the furnishings in the room, it looks like a guest room, Gu Xiang should have been locked up here from the beginning.
The trouble is that there are many hidden guards outside the house, Gu Jin and Gu Xiang don't know martial arts, and it may not be easy to escape.
Gu Jin still didn't have a plan in his heart, Gu Xiang had already sat beside her by himself, and asked: "Now that you have also been arrested by His Royal Highness King Shu's people, then Daddy must have discovered something abnormal, he will come to save us, right?" And my brother, and His Royal Highness King Xian, they will come to save us, right? β
Gu Jin lowered his eyes, and his voice was cold again, extinguishing the hope that had just sprouted in Gu Xiang's heart.
"Don't think that King Shu is too stupid, he has set us a good set from the beginning, my brother and His Royal Highness have gone to the Missing Moon Pool to find you, where can I rush back to Beijiang City?"
Gu Xiang didn't know the meaning of Gu Jin's words, and still asked vigorously: "Then my father always knows, my father will definitely come to us, there are so many soldiers in the barracks, and he can't set foot in such an earl's palace?" β
Gu Jin sighed: "Sometimes, I really envy you for being so naΓ―ve. β
Her jade finger knocked twice on the table, and finally let out a long sigh, "You don't know the world, you have been held in the palm of your mother since you were a child, and now you are going to Shuobei, after such an accident, will you still play the temper of a child in the past?" β
Gu Xiang's face couldn't help but turn dark when she heard this, and Gu Jin's words hit her heart.
The cold voice continued, "You don't want to think about what His Royal Highness King Shu is holding you and me hostage for no reason, how can he give his father a chance to save people if he intends for the throne and the life of King Xian?" β
Gu Xiang's heart suddenly froze, and a begonia face showed surprise, she just didn't understand, not that she couldn't understand, and when she understood the deep meaning of Gu Jin's words, she only murmured: "Could it be that he wants to borrow us to blackmail my brother?" β
Gu Jin nodded silently.
Needless to say, what to do with Gu Haomian is too clear, he has an army of 100,000 in his hands.
Gu Xiang was in a hurry, stretched out his hand and shook Gu Jin's arm, "But if my brother is really coerced by him, wouldn't His Royal Highness King Xian be very dangerous, but ...... But if my brother hadn't been held hostage by him, wouldn't we have died here? β
Gu Jin was dizzy by her, she only frowned, and her heart was a little more uneasy, she was really unsure of what Gu Haomian would choose.
"Calm down, let's try to escape."
Gu Xiang was stunned again, and subconsciously glanced back at the closed door behind him, his eyes were already full of tears again, and he said with a crying voice: "How can you escape here, there are heavy guards outside, how can you get out." β
Gu Jin's heart softened, and he sighed helplessly.
"Treat others in the same way, they drug you, and we will use this method as well."
Gu Xiang stopped whimpering, and looked at a small medicine bottle that Gu Jin took out of his arms with a pair of watery eyes, she knew that Gu Jin's medical skills were quite good, and before leaving, Chen Xiangsheng gave several such bottles and jars, and was curious to reach out to take the medicine bottle, but was stopped by Gu Jin.
"This is a gift from Imperial Physician Chen, it is said that you only need to pinch one grain and put it in an oil lamp, you can stun dozens of people, I don't know if he is exaggerating, just try these people outside the door."
Gu Xiang was confident when he heard what she said, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, and got up to look for the lamp.
The two sisters have been hostile for many years, but at this critical juncture, they have lost their profits.
Chen Xiangsheng has never been a person who can exaggerate, Gu Jin knew this early on, the lamp was lit with incense, she and Gu Xiang held their breath and opened the window to the headline, and in just a moment, more than a dozen hidden guards guarding the door fell to the ground.
Gu Xiang was still amazed by the power of this drug, and Gu Jin had already taken her hand and went out.
"Hurry up and go to the Moon Pool, I hope I can stop my brother in time."
ββ
Missing Moon Pool.
Lu Guitang looked at the soldiers pouring into the streets, and a layer of doubt gradually crossed his eyes.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?"
Gu Haomian stood in front of him with a blade in his hand, his handsome face was cold, and Zhao Xide and others were still standing beside him.
He took two steps forward, but his eyes flickered, and he saw a hidden guard above the corner tower, which was Lu Chengxiu's person.
He said: "I can't afford to be the uncle of His Royal Highness King Xian, now His Royal Highness has self-respect, and he has been accused of not being a minister, do you still want to get away with it." β
Lu Guitang frowned, obviously didn't understand Gu Haomian's words, and didn't understand why he and Gu Hao split up to find Gu Xiang's whereabouts half an hour ago.
Gu Haomian didn't seem to say anything to him, he only glanced sideways at Zhao Xide on his side, and the soldiers behind him were ready to go.
"His Royal Highness was born in the royal family, and his eyes are naturally the first in the world, but the ministers are different, before the people in the world, he is more willing to protect the family, and today he is facing His Royal Highness with swords, and please don't blame His Highness."
Lu Guitang was stunned, glanced at Gu Haomian deeply, and a faint uneasiness rose in his heart, it seemed that Gu Xiang did not disappear for no reason, but was held hostage by Lu Chengxiu's people and used to threaten Gu Haomian.
Now he only has 50,000 troops in his hands, and the remaining 50,000 are in Dingzhou, it must be too late to support, if Gu Haomian really wants to use his life to save Gu Xiang, then he can only be captured.
But......
Lu Guitang narrowed his eyes, only smiled lazily, but glanced at Shang Guyuan on his side, Shang Guyuan seemed to know, and secretly poked Leng Shan on the other side, Leng Shan secretly disappeared into the crowd and was not noticed by others.
At this moment, only Huang Hao was confused, "What do you mean, you are going to beat your own people?" β
Everyone looked at him with a little coldness, and Huang Hao closed his mouth very interestingly.
Lu Guitang smiled faintly, "Since my uncle has said so, let's do it, after all, this king will not be restrained." β
Gu Haomian glanced at Zhao Xide again, Zhao Xide had just raised his hand to order the whole army, when he suddenly heard a commotion-
The people of the entire moonless pool rushed out from the houses, teahouses, inns, and shops on both sides of the road, and everyone shouted endlessly, only to see that their faces were full of anger, and they actually came to Gu Haomian.
When people walk in, they will hear what they are saying.
"The young general has guarded our Shuobei with Marshal Gu for so many years, and the big guys think that you are a reasonable person, why do you still send troops to His Royal Highness King Xian?"
Another echo said: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Xian did his best for the sake of the people, not only recaptured the Missing Moon Pool for you, but also quelled the mountain bandit rebellion in Dingzhou, but what His Royal Highness King Nashu did, it was to abandon us and say that Northern Xinjiang and Dingzhou were ignored!" β
