Chapter 54: Return to Beijing

"Lord Wang, Gongzi and Lihuo are back." Kuntu walked into the study in the front hall and said respectfully.

In the past month or so, a lot of things have happened in the palace side by side, such as the side concubine given by the palace has moved in, and the location is worse than the environment of the Begonia Courtyard, which is almost a little better than the maid in the palace. It was a small building in the deepest part of the palace, but far away from the Begonia Courtyard, which was originally a place where the unfavored concubine of a certain amorous prince lived side by side, which was not good, plus the later princes had almost no concubines, and the place gradually became more deserted. Therefore, everyone in the palace knows that as long as it is a woman who lives in the White Mansion, she basically can't stay in the mansion for long.

When Mo Wuxian heard this, he was originally lazily lying on the chair and listening to the report on the exchange of money, and he immediately came to his senses, and even sat up slightly straighter as if he wanted to have no bones, "What about people?" "During Gu Ange's absence, His Royal Highness the King who was as gentle as the son of a family seemed to have never existed. What exists is a lazy, evil, and bloodthirsty human Shura.

Gu Ange didn't know how many forces in the palace had been tested since Mo Wuxian was given marriage. How many people are in that dungeon. And these people were all dealt with by Mo Wuxian in the more than a month that she went out to find medicine.

"The son took the fire back to the Begonia Courtyard first, saying that he was going to deal with the Nine Dragons Grass immediately, and asked his subordinates to come back to the prince, saying that he would come to see you when it was dealt with." The time is urgent, and I didn't stay much in the Covered Water City, so naturally I just did some simple treatment of the Nine Dragons Grass to ensure the efficacy of the medicine, and now when I return to the palace, it is naturally better to get the Nine Dragons Grass as soon as possible.

Mo Wuxian touched his chin, he originally wanted to go over to find Gu Ange now, but suddenly remembered that she was now living in Haitang Courtyard, and it was inconvenient for him to use the past, so he had to give up, "This king knows, you go and tell the kitchen to cook something she likes to eat." ”

Kuntu answered, intending to leave. However, Mo Wuxian suddenly stopped him, "Wait, don't tell her about those people in the dungeon." ”

Kun Tu and Dui Jin were both surprised for a while, Gu Ange was not a soft-hearted person, these two people knew this, and they really didn't know what the meaning of Mo Wuxian hiding it from her. Could it be that the prince doesn't trust the prince? But it shouldn't be, obviously the prince even handed over something as important as a token to the prince.

These two people obviously didn't understand, even if they knew that Gu Ange was not a soft-hearted master, but subconsciously, Mo Wuxian was unwilling to show her the bad side. Therefore, he has always deliberately maintained a gentle and polite face in front of her.

Although he didn't understand what Mo Wuxian meant, Kun Tu and Hui Jin didn't ask much. "Okay, Kuntu, you give orders first, and continue to talk about the gold." Mo Wuxian leaned back lightly in his chair again, returning to his original appearance as if he had no bones

。。。。。。。

Gu Ange returned to the Begonia Courtyard with Lihuo and plunged directly into the room.

"You help me grind all these herbs to the end." Gu Ange picked up a bunch of wrapped things from the cabinet in the inner room, put them on the table, and after he gave the order, he still looked confused, and after leaving the fire without knowing what was going on, he took the jade box containing the Nine Dragons Grass and went to the side without knowing what to do.

Lihuo glanced at Gu Ange, who was busy, and then looked at the pile of paper bags on the table that he didn't know what they were, and resigned himself to grinding medicine.

After getting it for about an hour, Lihuo had already made all those things, stood aside and handed the finished medicine to her according to Gu Ange's instructions, and watched her put them all into the potion soaked in Nine Dragon Grass. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the Nine Dragons Grass, which was originally like an ordinary weed, revealed a slight reddish after experiencing this series of tosses, and the veins on the original nine leaves seemed to have turned into green dragons. Only at this time did Gu Ange breathe a long sigh of relief, and put it back in the jade box with a silver clip and sealed it.

"Childe, this is... Seeing that Gu Ange had done all this, Lihuo couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart for a long time.

"It's nothing, it's just that this is the real Nine Dragons Grass." The Nine Dragon Grass itself is poisonous and cannot be directly used in medicine, so it needs to be detoxified with a few specific herbs first, and only after treatment, the detoxified Nine Dragon Grass can be regarded as the real Nine Dragon Grass.

"Oh... Suddenly realized from the fire.

After dealing with the Nine Dragon Grass, Gu Ange stretched his waist, and then began to clean up the table, and followed the fire, but was stopped by Gu Ange, "Okay, you're tired too, go back and rest." ”

Looking left and right from the fire, and seeing that Gu Ange had almost cleaned up, he said goodbye and left the Begonia Courtyard.

Although Gu Ange was also tired, after packing up the medicinal materials, he still forced himself to go to the study in the front yard.

When Gu Ange arrived at the study, the exchange had already reported everything and left, leaving only Mo Wuxian alone in the study of Nuoda, who was busy behind the bookcase.

"You're back, how about the journey?" Mo Wuxian heard the movement, put down the brush in his hand, and looked up from the thick pile of folds.

"It's okay, but I encountered some things when I went out this time, and I think I still need to tell you." Gu Ange yawned and found a place to nest.

"Huh?" Mo Wuxian raised his eyebrows. So Gu Ange told Mo Wuxian about himself and the group of soldiers he met in the water-covered mountains and the things he found in the big tent of the military camp, and added at the end, "Being able to secretly raise 50,000 horses, this Third Highness is really amazing." "Raising an army is very expensive, Zhou Qifei is not the same as Mo Wuxian, an uncle who has a big family in itself, at least with his monthly salary of a few hundred taels of money, it is absolutely impossible to afford such a well-equipped army. Even if you add the oppression of the Liuzhou family by Liuzhou Taishou over the years, it is impossible to afford it. Then his financial source is a very thought-provoking thing, and it is obvious that Zhou Qifei still has some forces in his hands that they don't know.

After Mo Wuxian listened, his face changed, "Is this serious?" It's not that Mo Wuxian doesn't believe Gu Ange, it's just that this matter is very important, and he can't be sloppy at all. After all, the garrison of the entire capital is only 30,000, if Zhou Qifei secretly raises 50,000 soldiers and horses, then at least it will be enough for him to force the palace to usurp the throne. Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the people in Mo Wuxian's hands are far away from the capital under the deliberate intention of the palace, and it is estimated that when Mo Wuxian transfers enough soldiers and horses, the daylilies in the capital will be cold, so naturally it is no wonder that Mo Wuxian is so cautious.

"I've found out for myself, seriously." Gu Ange naturally understood what Zhou Qifei was secretly hiding about what these people meant.

Mo Wuxian pondered for a moment before he spoke, "I know, don't worry, I'll take care of it." ”

Gu Ange nodded, "The literati have not been able to rebel for ten years, and I don't need to say how important the soldiers and horses are." Zhou Qifei and the side by side Wangfu are definitely not all the way, if you really let him take the throne... "Even today, no matter how jealous Mo Wuxian is, he knows that he must think about it slowly, and he can't rush it. He knew that now he had to rely on the soldiers and horses of the palace side by side to guard the frontier, and before the major affairs of the frontier could be completely controlled in his own hands, he didn't dare to take Mo Wuxian seriously, otherwise he would be cheaper than the other countries, and then it would really be a matter of stealing chickens and rice. But Zhou Qifei is different, according to his temperament, maybe he will kill a thousand enemies first, lose 800 yourself, and then completely kill the side by side palace, then it will be really a big trouble at that time.

"Hmm. Don't worry, it's not just in his hands. "Although most of the troops of the palace are guarding the frontier, but in the end there are still tens of thousands of standing troops left in the Changzhou military camp, although in order to prevent the death of the ink, Changzhou is very far away from the capital, but it is very unfortunate that Changzhou and Liuzhou live next to each other, which is probably because the palace does not trust the mother of the three princes very much. Such an arrangement was supposed to allow the two sides to restrain each other, and no one could make any small moves. However, it is a pity that the group of straight-hearted generals on the side of the Changzhou Standing Army obviously lived up to his expectations, and just stayed in the barracks all day long and obediently trained their soldiers, without any communication with outsiders at all. So much so that even if Liuzhou made such a big move, he didn't know it at all, and he just thought that Liuzhou Taishou was just greedy for money and wantonly made money. Thinking of this, Mo Wuxian felt a headache for this group of brainless guys, if it weren't for Gu Ange and Lihuo meeting this time, he didn't know what kind of trouble would have happened, it was really time to repair it.

Seeing Mo Wuxian say this, Gu Ange was also relieved and put this matter aside.

"You... Do you have any plans for the future of the palace side by side? Gu Ange looked at Mo Wuxian with a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, she hesitated for a long time, and finally asked this question that had been hidden in her heart.

Hearing Gu Ange's question, Mo Wuxian smiled helplessly, his tone was sad, "What can I do, the horse leather shroud, completely broke the royal family's fear of the side by side palace." After a pause, Mo Wuxian continued, "If I take it seriously when the time comes... Presumably, the royal family will not embarrass you again. Even if... Even if you are really embarrassed, I have left you with enough to protect you. "If Mo Wuxian dies on the battlefield, although his sergeants will be treated unfairly, they will be able to take care of it. And Gu Ange, as the widow of the king side by side, naturally no one dares to embarrass anymore.

However, when he heard Mo Wuxian's plan, even though he had thought a lot about her, Gu Ange still had a burst of anger in his heart for no reason, and his harsh words kept coming out, "Tut-tut, it is really a good and thoughtful plan to be side by side with His Royal Highness the King, so if you want to die, why don't you die now, why do you bother so much?" ”
