Chapter 18: The Man Behind the Scenes (2)
"You people are all eating dry rice, so many people can't deal with a Gu Jingfeng, let a girl break her leg bones, not to mention, let Gu Jingfeng lie there half-dead, waiting for the people in the hospital to treat him, rice buckets, all rice buckets!"
In the quiet inner room, the shadows of the trees are mottled, and under the dancing candlelight, a man in a brocade dress has a gloomy face, a pair of sword eyebrows are close together at the moment, and the roots of his teeth are clenched, which is very hideous.
The mutton fat jade cup with the wine in his hand shattered in an instant, bursting into the face of the kneeling man on the ground, and blood flowed out.
"It's the incompetence of the subordinates, and the subordinates are willing to be punished." The man in Tsing Yi kneeling on the ground clasped his hands into fists and said respectfully.
The man in brocade clothes is the Jin King Su Mu, who everyone in Beijing has a perennial sleeping flower willow house, likes women, and does not want to make progress, at this moment his neckline is open, his hair is unkempt, and his body and face are full of the smell of women's rouge flower dew, and his obscene appearance really looks like a waste prince.
Since Su Heng ascended the throne as the emperor, he has taken the illusion of indulging in women, secretly cultivating his own power, just waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of it, ready to go.
Su Mu has been smart and studious since he was a child, has studied scriptures and history, and is particularly proficient in Sun Wu's art of war, but because of his mother's humble status, he doesn't even have the hope and opportunity to fight.
He was still able to gain a foothold in the capital, but he also lost this method, two days ago his biological mother passed away, and the desert tribe was ready to move and repeatedly violate the border, he only said that the opportunity came.
Five years ago, he reached a tacit agreement with the Yun family, and made the Yun family marry Yun Yichu to himself as the princess with the position of one person under ten thousand people.
Over the years, he has lived in this Qinglou all the year round, and he has done enough to be incompetent and cowardly, in order to lower the emperor's vigilance, this time, he intended to assassinate Gu Jingfeng to make the situation in the court turbulent, and when the desert sent troops, he took the opportunity to eradicate the emperor, and then he sat on the throne.
At that time, when the assassination occurred, he sat in his carriage, watching everything coldly, surprised by Shen Qingwu's skills, but he didn't expect that Gu Jingfeng was also a sad beauty, and used his body to block a sword for Shen Qingwu, the second girl of the Shen family, but she had some means.
"Okay, get out, this matter will be let go before the emperor investigates it thoroughly, and no more action is allowed during this time." It is useless to say that it has failed, this opportunity was missed, and it will not be so easy to find the next time, Su Mumo held the Hetian Nuanyu ring on his thumb, sighed angrily, and drove Tsing Yi's men out of the house.
In front of the bookcase under the sash window of the Sanjiao Liuzhu Linghua Lance, he looked at the letterhead handed by Song Zhi, only glanced at it hastily, and frowned, "You said that these people were not sent by the desert?" ”
Song Zhi was the commander of the Praetorian Guard and the patrol battalion, and he was under his jurisdiction to handle all the security affairs in Beijing, and after the assassination, he came to the scene to take over all the assassins in this incident, and the first thing he did was to check whether these people had tattooed totems.
The men in the desert tribes, since they were born, will engrave a tattoo totem unique to their tribe on the left shoulder of their body, each branch totem is different, and at the moment when these people die, nothing can be found, obviously, it will not be sent by the desert.
"Yes." Song Zhi nodded.
"Can't you find anything on the side?" With a long sigh, Su Heng put down the letterhead in his hand and asked.
"The owner of the liquor store has been killed and abandoned in the well in the backyard for a long time, and the liquor store has been listed for closure and renovation since then, and the neighbor next door also said that he heard the knocking and banging there all day, and he never suspected that these people did not have any identification on them, and their faces were scratched, and they couldn't distinguish their faces at all.
These people came prepared, disfigured, and prepared poison in their mouths, as early as the beginning, they were prepared for complete defeat, and if they wanted to investigate the root cause, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky, Song Zhi knelt on the ground with his fists clenched, and pleaded guilty to Su Heng.
Su Heng waved his hand and said, "What's the use of blaming you, the main thing is to find out the people behind the scenes, assassinate the generals of the court, that is to rebel, planning to cause turmoil in the court, the remaining heirs of the first emperor, you send people to show me one by one, see if they have made any moves, and then check out where they have been before, the recent movements, the desert tribe is eyeing the tiger, the court has already had external troubles, and at this time, there must be no internal worries, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable......"
"The ministers will try their best to find clues and live up to the emperor's trust, and they will definitely not let the entire Great Zhou fall into a place of internal and external troubles." As a dependent minister under Su Heng, Song Zhi hugged his fists and assured Su Heng that Su Heng nodded, only pinning his hopes on him......
In Luwuyuan, Gu Jingfeng, who had been asleep for two days and two nights, opened his eyes from the bed in the early morning of the third day under the treatment of countless attempts and changes of medicine by the imperial doctors.
The Tai Doctor of the Tai Hospital is still developing new drugs outside, and several waves of Tai Doctors have taken turns to take care of Gu Jingfeng in the past few days, while Shen Qingwu has been sleeping on the soft collapse next to Gu Jingfeng, eating and living in this room, taking care of him every step of the way.
At this moment, Shen Qingwu was covered with a thin blanket in her sleep, her lupine-like curled eyelashes formed a beautiful arc under her eyelids, her sleeping posture was peaceful, and the corners of her mouth were raised, as if she was having a sweet dream.
The moment Gu Jingfeng saw Shen Qingwu, his heart fell, the corners of his chapped mouth were slightly raised, blooming with a clear arc, and Su Ge Suxin, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but open his eyes when he felt the sunlight rising outside, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Gu Jingfeng on the bed waking up, and when he was about to call, he asked Gu Jingfeng to signal with his eyes, don't alarm Shen Qingwu.
Su Xin tiptoed out of it, and then told several imperial doctors, saying that the general was awake, and several imperial doctors still had a layer of fine beads of sweat on their foreheads, and the moment they heard Gu Jingfeng wake up, they took a long breath and came out of relief, and finally smiled, relieved.
At that time, Shen Qingwu, who was on the soft floor, wanted to turn over because of the child's backache, but every time her stomach moved, the movement was too loud, so she couldn't stop frowning and shouting Su Ge.
"Madam, the general is awake!" When Shen Qingwu wanted to sit up blindfolded, Su Ge whispered in Shen Qingwu's ear.
The eyes that were still half-open and the sloppy consciousness were awake in an instant, Shen Qingwu couldn't help but widen her eyes and hit her eyes on the bed on the side, and then saw that Gu Jingfeng, who had not yet recovered her blood, was just lying there smirking at herself, and she didn't even have time to put her shoes on her feet, she only wore silk shoes, and quickly came to Gu Jingfeng's bed in three steps and two steps, and couldn't help but say, "You're awake!" ”
Gu Jingfeng nodded, looking at her haggard face and messy hair, he only stretched out his hand, rubbed her fine and soft hair with the hand that had not been injured, and said in a dumb voice, "It's okay, don't worry." ”
Shen Qingwu's heart fell instantly, after so many days, she finally felt that it was really beating in her chest, and then she couldn't stop complaining about Gu Jingfeng, "Are you stupid, why do you want to help me block the sword, are you tired of it, that sword is poisonous, do you know it, you almost died......"
"If you die, I will become a sinner, those soldiers who are waiting for your command on the front line, without the backbone of the Lord, will become a plate of scattered sand, maybe, they will be lost, and when the time comes, the entire Great Zhou will suffer from war, and the lives will be ruined, and I will become the culprit, you ......"
Shen Qingwu was incoherent at the moment, and couldn't stop talking there, these words were all later, my sister Shen Jinglan came to tell herself, it turned out that this man has such an important significance to this country, as soon as he dies, not to mention the long, it is a month, the army is reorganized, and the time when the general is re-founded, the people of the desert will take advantage of the situation, then Da Zhou will suffer huge losses.
At that time, Shen Qingwu regretted that he couldn't help himself, and the moment Gu Jingfeng woke up, Shen Qingwu couldn't stop scolding him, scolding him for being a fool!
"I'm your man and your child's father."
Gu Jingfeng listened quietly, looking at the pure anxious look on the little woman's face, he couldn't help but feel stable, and only responded to the woman's scolding with a slight smile.
In an instant, the little woman shut up!
"If a man can't even protect his wife and children, how can he defend his family and country, dance lightly, you're okay, I told you, I will never dare to live up to your words, from the heart, naturally, but also do what you say."
The rough hand with a thick layer of calluses, holding Shen Qingwu's hand tightly in his palm, the man used the most simple tone in a deep voice, saying the most heart-warming love words in the world, these words, Shen Qingwu listened to it for the first time, slightly uncomfortable, when the delicate hand wanted to be pulled out of Gu Jingfeng's hand, but he didn't want to, let the man grasp it tighter.
"Don't blame me, I know, the matter of Begonia is mine or not, but the family and the country, at that time, I had no choice."
"Seeing you resenting me like that and wanting to reconcile with me, I realized that I actually broke a woman's heart like this, I'm sorry to let you and your child suffer such a beating......"
When Shen Qingwu resolutely proposed to reconcile and leave again and again, Gu Jingfeng knew that he had done something wrong, and he should not use a rushing way to destroy Shen Qingwu's trust in him, so he rushed to make amends before everything was still recoverable.
And Shen Qingwu was blushing at this moment, who would have thought that the man who had always been dull and boring in his memory would actually talk about love, so affectionately moving, like a willow branch in March, brushing through the heart lake, and stirring people like a deer.
"Are you like this because of your children?" Shen Qingwu was not convinced, pursed her lips, and asked tentatively.
"You are my wife first, then the mother of my children, whether you have children or not, if it happens again, I will still stand in front of you, and women should let men protect them, especially their own men......"
