Chapter 66: Take the initiative to ask for help
The people in the courtyard were all petrified, and the crazy stone couldn't help it at first, laughing so hard that the flowers and branches trembled, and the woman who was called "Sister-in-law Li" also held her pale face red, and didn't dare to laugh out of shape.
"Hey, Lord Qi," the insect couldn't help but have the courage to interrupt us: "Can you let us take a shower and change our clothes first, and then you can talk to each other?" ”
Sister-in-law Li hurriedly couldn't help but smile and said, "The master of the bath water has already made it ready, and the two young ladies can follow me." ”
Liang Ci nodded: "If you have any needs, just tell Sister-in-law Li directly." ”
"Then my master, she ...... now," I couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"You can rest assured, auntie, she is fine. There are our people in the palace, and if there is any trouble, they will naturally report it. ”
I naturally believed in the words of the cool words, put down half of my heart, followed Sister-in-law Li with the insects, went to the side room next to the kitchen in the backyard to wash carefully, and changed into the clothes prepared by Sister-in-law Li in advance, only then did I feel refreshed and much happier.
Liang Ci insisted on leaving the gold in his study, and when I dressed neatly, Jin Zi was lazily lying on Liang Ci's desk and dozing off, disdainful of Liang Ci's deliberate provocation on the side.
Jin Zi and I have some common intentions, so even if Liang Ci is not friendly to it, Jin is not as fierce as he treats others, and he has a great pride of "adults don't remember villains". This person is a worm, and in such a sunlit study, it looks quite interesting.
Gold was the first to notice my taste, kicked on my hind legs, jumped on my shoulders, cocked his tail, and proudly shouted "ho ho" to the cool words.
Liang Ci turned his head, threw away the straw that teased the gold in his hand, and frowned slightly: "Why does this little thing keep showing its teeth and claws to me, so deeply hostile?" Could it be that it will still hold grudges? ”
I freed my wet hair from the clutches of gold, rolled it to my shoulder on the other side, grabbed a handkerchief and wiped it indiscriminately: "Gold is wary of everyone else, except for being close to insects, and does not allow others to come near him. If you provoke it like this, as the prestige of the Gu Emperor, it is already extremely face-saving for you. You don't see a wound on Tulin's arm that hasn't healed yet, it's its masterpiece. ”
"Then why would it allow bugs to come near it?" Coldly asked.
"How do I know?" I said casually: "Maybe it's because the insects like to raise these Gu worms on weekdays, and they have an affinity that we can't detect, just like those dogs will always bark when they see the wicked, right?" ”
Liang Ci shook his head suspiciously: "Gu Emperors are all spiritual things, legend has it that once they recognize the master, they will never have two hearts, and they will never like someone for no reason, there must be a reason for it." ”
I didn't care at all, I held the Gu Emperor in the palm of my hand, and looked left and right: "The gold seems to have gained a lot of weight, and this belly is round, if it goes on like this, let alone flying, I'm afraid I won't be able to jump." ”
When Fat Jin heard me say bad things about it, he screamed twice in protest.
The cool words on the side were ignored, and I couldn't help but be annoyed, and reached out to dust the gold in my palm, and the gold opened its mouth, ready to go, and made a posture of pounce. Liang Ci held his hand like electricity, grabbed its tentacles, and threw it out of the window.
"At first glance, it's a lazy guy, and you're still so rare."
The gold turned a corner in mid-air, flapping its wings angrily, and was about to return the blow.
"Gold," I hurriedly stopped the spread of the war and waved helplessly at the gold: "Go and play with the insects for a while." ”
The gold unwillingly flew around the window twice, landed on the cool diction case, and bit it off with two bites of the wolf on the cool diction case, grinding his teeth in protest against the cool dictionaries, and then jumped out of the window "fluttering".
Liang Ci closed the window, stretched out his hand to pull me into his arms, and without saying a word, he printed the lip flap, first tasted it, and then tossed and turned, until he kissed me dizzy, I couldn't remember what night it was, so I laughed hoarsely, my ears and temples grinded, and I was reluctant to give up.
"Qingwu, do you know that Prime Minister Lan Cheng pretended to pass on the holy decree and wanted to put you to death. When I heard the news of your accident in Luoyang City in prison, I was about to die of worry. ”
I put my face into Liang Ci's arms, hugged his waist tightly, listened to his heartbeat, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Liang Ci, it's me who is too willful and makes you suffer from me, and you must have been wronged these days." ”
Liang Ci kept stroking my hair, then grabbed a strand and played with it around his fingertips, wrapping it around his fingers.
"What can I be wronged for? It's just to go in and hide for two days. Haven't I come and gone freely in the prison? When you get tired of it, you will come out, but your heart is always on you, and you are just worried every day. ”
It's an understatement, but he has always been arrogant, and he must be aggrieved in his heart.
"I have noble people to help me along the way, and I am safe." So he told Liang Ci about going to Miaojiang with Crazy Shi and others to fight with Bodhi Sect Master Mo Xiangdong, but he only concealed the matter of serving with insects, lest he worry and anxiety again.
Listening to me quietly, he didn't seem to be surprised by our ups and downs, as if he knew everything about them.
I looked at him and asked straight to the point, "Did you send the person who protected and guided me to find the Crazy Stone in Luoyang City, and helped us get out of danger in Miaojiang many times?" Otherwise, how could I be found so easily? ”
Liang Ci only smiled slightly, and asked instead of answering: "Have you ever seen what Mo Xiangdong looks like?" ”
I shook my head: "At that time, he was disguised as Elder Fang, and he never saw his true face. However, I remember his smell vividly, like the smell of smoky incense ash in the temple. ”
"The smell of incense ash?" Liang Ci said suspiciously: "I still remember that when we killed the Bodhi Sect Capital Branch, they were set up under the temple. Could it be that the location of the main altar is also in the temple? Or is it that the Bodhi Sect Master is a monk in the temple to disguise his identity on weekdays? ”
Liang Ci's words made me feel like I was empowered: "He has always had a plan for my Su family, should his headquarters be in Jiangnan?" ”
Liang Ci nodded: "I will order Jiangnan's men to secretly investigate the temples near Yangzhou City and see if there is any gain." As long as Mo Xiangdong is captured, the Bodhi Sect dragons have no leader, which is tantamount to a plate of scattered sand, and they cannot form an army, and it is simple to break them all. ”
"So what is the situation in Beijing now? What is the situation of my master now? I couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Liang Ci still refused to let go of me, and sat in his arms with me, grinding his chin against my neck.
"Qingqing used Gu poison to control the queen mother and the imperial brother, especially the queen mother, life and death are all under the control of the Bodhi Sect, and there will be danger to life at any time, so we will be controlled by others and swallow our anger. However, before the incident, the Marquis of Zhongyong left the capital and controlled the 80,000 troops outside the capital, and was stationed in Changping Mansion, which is not far from Beijing, and could come to the city at any time and capture the capital in one fell swoop.
Therefore, at present, we belong to the confrontation between the two armies, and no one dares to act rashly, and it can also be said that the war in Beijing and China is about to break out. The Bodhi Sect can only stir up trouble in the lower state capitals, and dare not wave its army north to break this balance. Su Qingqing didn't dare to do anything to the Queen Mother and the imperial brother for the time being, otherwise, it would be self-defeating. And Aunt Xiyue, with my imperial brother under her protection, should be safe. ”
"So what are we going to do now? Is it going to be like this? There are already many state capitals below that have surrendered without a fight, if the momentum continues, the Bodhi Sect recruits troops and horses, and grows stronger day by day, there will always be a day when the capital is embattled, and the Bodhi Sect soldiers and horses are outflanked in all directions, and the tens of thousands of troops of the righteous father are tantamount to grasshoppers shaking the tree. ”
I went all the way north from Miao Jiang and witnessed the huge power of the Bodhi Sect, how could I not be worried?
"At present, the Bodhi Sect has two things to rely on, one is the Gu poison who is not afraid of death, not only has strong combat effectiveness, but also has contagion, making our soldiers afraid of their hands and feet, and they cannot be used at all; The second is that they have planted spies in our court for more than 20 years, which is a dagger and a tumor inserted in our hearts.
Now that the Bodhi Sect in Chang'an's state capitals has taken action, most of the other party's forces have been revealed. We endured it just to wait for your Gu Emperor. As long as the Gu Emperor arrives in the capital safely, don't say the Queen Mother, the imperial brother's Gu poison will be eliminated, and even the Gu poison people will not be worried. The Bodhi Sect brutalized the people and was unpopular with the people, and the others were even more scattered and vulnerable. As long as there are no such worries, the destruction of the entire Bodhi Sect is just around the corner. ”
Liang Ci's explanation made my heart instantly brighten, and I regained hope, and I felt happy that I had fulfilled my mission and was able to retrieve the Gu Emperor safely, and I was even more proud of my ability to solve problems for Liang Ci at such a time when my family and country were in danger.
"So what should I do next?" I took the initiative to ask Liang Ci to ask for help, my heart was full of blood and emotions, and I couldn't wait to see the war drums shaking the sky, the flags fluttering, and the magnificent battlefield of the golden iron horse.
Liang Ci hesitated for a moment, and then stopped: "The time has not yet come, Ansheng stays here, just don't go anywhere." ”
I looked around: "What kind of place is this?" Now that the entire capital is under martial law, there are constantly soldiers patrolling around, and dangers are lurking. Why are you just here in a grand state? Aren't you afraid of being interrogated? ”
Liang Ci smiled indifferently: "I must stay in the capital to better protect the safety of my mother and imperial brother." As for here. It's just an ordinary house, without any background, and officers and soldiers are constantly coming in to investigate. ”
said that Cao Cao Cao was coming, and as soon as Liang Ci's voice fell, there was a "bang" sound of slamming the door in the front yard: "Open the door!" Open the door! Routine checks! ”
My heart was shocked, and I stood up suddenly, but Liang Ci didn't care at all, took my hand and sat down again: "What are you afraid of, naturally someone will deal with it." ”
