Chapter 745: The Conspiracy Continues
Someone broke into the estate!
Gu Jicang almost woke up immediately, but he didn't know if the intruder was friend or foe, and whether he could compete with the guards, but this dark night undoubtedly suddenly shone into the dawn of hope, what if it was because of the rescuers brought in by the letter? So Gu Jicang only subconsciously saved himself, he relied on himself to adapt to the dark sight, and worked hard to move all the utensils that could be moved in the house, and tightened the doors and windows, the purpose of this was to prevent the rescuers from breaking through before he was broken into the door by the guards.
With his strength as a literati, it is difficult to open the blocked doors and windows to go out for help, so he can only stay here and wait for the ending.
The swords, the sonorous striking, wrapped in the rebuke of "Jinyiwei handling the case and resisting death", became clearer and clearer, and it made Gu Jicang's heart beat faster and faster.
Unexpectedly, the once terrifying Jinyiwei would one day become a straw that might save him from suffering.
Outside the room gradually became quiet.
Gu Jicang stood in the corner, staring at the door blocked by tables and chairs.
He heard the drop lock being opened, the crisp sound of a key inserting into the lockhole.
"Gu Gongke? Liang came to rescue Gu Gong on the order of the prince! ”
The obstacle was easily removed, and Gu Jicang saw the man standing outside the door respectfully under the firelight, dressed in black and hanging a long sword.
Gu Jicang also walked out of the corner in silence.
Although the manor is located in a deserted place, a fight will not alarm the surrounding Baojia villagers, but a few pairs of peeping eyes in the dark night still witnessed the scene of the famous Jinyi Guard commanding the adult to personally lead the guards and take Gu Jicang away.
They followed silently, without alarming each other.
It's dawn.
A seemingly inconspicuous man, showing the token, was put into the equally inconspicuous corner door of the Wei Guogong's mansion, he saw Zheng Xiu almost without any hindrance, this man was full of dewy but angry looks, which made Wei Guogong sink his eyebrows.
And when Zheng Xiu listened to the report of his henchmen, it seemed that it took a long time before he repeated as if muttering: "Liang Shiqi? ”
"The villain witnessed with his own eyes that it was Jin Yiwei who commanded Liang Shiqi to personally lead his subordinates to attack Hongluohu Manor at night, and took away Gu Jicang and Linzi Wang Dang, if the villain followed Liang Shiqi closely, he would definitely startle the snake, so ...... The villain was incompetent, and he actually got rid of Liang Shiqi, and he didn't know where he took Gu Jicang and the others. ”
"I'm afraid that the manpower of the Linzi King Party has not been wiped out by Liang Shiyan, right?"
"The Linzi Wang Party has also arranged a secret whistle, and there must be fish that have slipped through the net."
As soon as the words fell, someone entered the room to report-
Liang Shiqi asks to see!
Zheng Xiu took the case, and was stunned for a moment before he said again: "Zhao Zhibei, good means, I said that he cared about it, but he was transferred away from the mountain." ”
But Liang Shiqi still had to meet, and Zheng Xiu greeted him personally.
Liang Shiqi didn't mention Huairou Hongluo Lake a word, he came to visit, as if to make friends, Zheng Xiu was naturally comfortable coping with it, and he didn't show the slightest flaw on the surface, until Liang Shiqi said goodbye and left, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered again, he held his forehead with his hand, rarely showing a little tiredness, and stood on the side of the henchman, and said for a long time: "Grandpa Guo, Gu Jicang has escaped, I'm just afraid of ...... You should also kill Sun Chongbao immediately! ”
Zheng Xiu removed his hand and shook his head slowly: "No, it's too late now, and I can't do anything more." ”
On the other hand, the king of Linzi was also shocked by the bad news of the Chengguo Gong Confession that arrived early in the morning.
"Master Liang? How could it be Jinyiwei? How did Jin Yiwei touch Huairou?! ”
Cheng Guogong glared at the "secret whistle" who came with him, and was not without annoyance: "It's all these useless things, and they can still lose Liang Shiqi, I don't know where Liang Shiqi transferred Gu Jicang and our manpower last night, only this morning, I found out that Liang Shiqi went to see Zheng Xiu!" ”
"I have long heard that Shen Changying and Gong Wang had a hot fight some time ago, and I also said that Shen Changying wanted to make friends with the prince, but after thinking about it carefully, Shen Changying and Zheng Xiu have always been in contact! Shen Changying is Liang Shiqi's son-in-law, and it seems that Liang Shiqi has already surrendered to Zheng Xiu! ”
King Linzi swirled like a headless fly: "Our plan, hasn't Zheng Xiu seen through it a long time ago?" But why did he take Gu Jicang in his hands at this time? ”
"Zheng Xiu must want to kill two birds with one stone!" Cheng Guogong asserted.
"We ambushed the crown prince and turned Zheng Xiu to expose our crimes, so that the eighth child can enjoy the benefits of the fisherman?"
"Or maybe Zheng Xiu's supporter is the King of Qin." Cheng Guogong was also very anxious: "Your Highness should make a decision early and ambush the prince, and it's not too late to give up." ”
"Gu Jicang is in Zheng Xiu's hands, can he let me go?" King Linzi sneered: "At that time, he can use Gu Jicang to form an alliance with the crown prince, and be one step ahead of me." In this way, he can win the trust of the prince and plan for the future! Leave Gu Jicang alive, Shen
Shi and Wen Xiao can't keep anyone, even if the emperor is willing to spare me not to die, it will be a complete defeat for me! I had no choice but to gamble! ”
"But Your Highness, in this case, we have little chance of winning."
"The odds of winning are very small, but it's better than standing back, let me continue to pay attention to the East Palace to see if there is any vision over there."
The result of attention is that the East Palace is still secretly deploying manpower, trying to rescue Gu Jicang on the bank of Gushui tomorrow, after getting this result, the King of Linzi also made a painful decision: "The manor is not under my name, and the manpower of the manor is not my palace's personal guards, and it has nothing to do with the Chengguo Mansion on the surface, and Zheng Xiu colludes with Jinyiwei in front, as long as it is successful, I may not be able to bite him back, it is unknown who will kill the deer, but Qin Xun will die, because he is the prince, he has won the trust of his father!" ”
King Linzi's intentions, Cheng Guogong finally understood.
In the final analysis, the current situation, the crown prince Qin Xun is the opponent, if Zheng Xiu and the prince form an alliance, there is no chance of winning the royal lawsuit against the King of Linzi, but once Qin Xun dies, the weight of the King of Linzi in the emperor's mind can at least be equal to that of the King of Qin, whether Zheng Xiu supports the King of Qin or the Eighth Prince, just by virtue of having Gu Jicang in his hands, as well as those guards whose identities are unclear, Emperor Hongfu may not punish the King of Linzi again because of the confessions of these people.
No matter how sad Emperor Hongfu was about the death of Donggong, Qin Xun could no longer come back from the dead, and the problem in front of the emperor at that time was who to appoint as the prince.
"If Zheng Xiu wants to push Gu Jicang and others out to prove my crime, I must admit that he colluded with Liang Shiqi first, and my father has handed over Jinyiwei to Qin for moderation, but Liang Shiqi is the commander who only obeys Zheng Xiu's orders, how can my father not be suspicious in his heart? At that time, I can completely bite back, it is Zheng Xiu who uses Dongying to take care of Jicang, ambush and kill Qin Xun, and then blame me, as long as Zheng Xiu's purpose is not to collude with Qin Xun to put me to death first, he has no 100% chance of winning! Although Zheng Xiu also has a little trust from his father, I am my father's closest relative, and I still have a great chance of winning! ”
The more King Linzi analyzed, the more confident he felt.
Cheng Guogong was finally completely convinced, wiped a cold sweat, and Dasheng agreed: "As long as Zheng Xiu accuses His Highness, it is tantamount to admitting that he knew that His Highness intended to ambush and kill the prince, not only did he not stop it, but he still wanted to take advantage of the fisherman, how could the emperor allow him?" King Qin is incompetent, the eighth prince is young, as long as the crown prince dies, who else is more suitable for the unification than His Royal Highness? The emperor is absolutely evil Zheng Xiu in front, so he will naturally focus on His Royal Highness. ”
The king of Linzi had another whim, so he strengthened his determination to continue to act.
