Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 69 The Prince's Mansion in the Capital
A few days later, in the capital, everything is as prosperous as before, Gu Xuan, the unpowerful five princes, quietly left, for this grand city, whether it is in the court full of Huang Zi Gongqing or the people who are blocked by information, it seems that there is no impact, maybe only in the Yongle Palace of the imperial city, there will be a noble concubine who is no longer in the glory often secretly weeps, seeing things and thinking about people, and in a small restaurant full of exotic customs in the west of the capital, there is also an old man who will put two enamel wine bowls in the separate small room upstairs of his restaurant after a busy day, and drink it out of thin air。
Tianbo Street, Dongcheng District, is full of powerful people, and the prince Gu Cang's mansion.
In the middle of this large mansion against the main street, there is a separate small courtyard, and in the middle of the courtyard is a flowerbed with lush flowers, which is still in full bloom on a cold winter day, adding a touch of warm spring to this courtyard.
In the middle of the flower garden, a small pond with a craggy rockery has been dug out of the place surrounded by large pebbles, and there are even lotus flowers planted in it, and a few cute feng shui koi are fed, which adds a bit of life.
The other part of the courtyard is divided into four large wings according to the four directions of southeast, east and northwest, but looking at the various characters coming in and out of the courtyard gate, it is obvious that this place is not used for living.
In the wing room on the east side, from the door there are neatly placed tables full of papers, in front of each table, there is a person wearing a different mask to cover the whole face, is carrying a pen to copy something from the side, after writing, the whole paper will be carefully wrapped into the shape of a dossier, and then put into the wooden tube next to it, and then write on it the classification, and then neatly stacked one by one in the small wooden box next to it, once full, gently shake the bell next to it, and after a while, a special person will come in to collect the wooden box, and walk to the west room, where it is naturally a special place to store these wooden tubes。
In the south room, it is even more noisy and busy, the windows in the room are wide open, and the whole room starts from the foot of the wall, neatly stacked with delicate bird cages, some of which are empty, only a few feathers, and some of which are constantly making noises, all marked with special markings, apparently for a special purpose.
The people inside were even more busy, not only cleaning up the feces for these little ancestors, adding food and water one by one, but also picking up the carrier pigeons that came back with information from outside the house at any time, and then carefully removing the small wooden cylinders containing information on their bodies and handing them over to the caretakers here.
At this moment, a carrier pigeon with gold trim on its feathers suddenly plunged into the room from the sky, and then was caught by the maid Ning Shuang, who had been waiting in the house, to the window and reached out to catch it, while stroking the feathers on its body, and gently removing a small wooden tube tied to its feet, she carefully handed over this obviously not ordinary pigeon to the next person to take care of, and then quickly got up and ran to the room where Gu Cang was.
Ning Shuang is different from the lively personality of Xiaolu, who is also Gu Cang's personal maid, although it is urgent news, but when she walked to the door, she still stretched out her hand and knocked gently and rigidly, and after getting Gu Cang's permission, she pushed the door and walked into the room, and then knelt down respectfully in front of Gu Cang, holding the wooden tube with both hands and whispering.
"Prince, it's news about the king of Hedong County. ”
Gu Cang, who had been writing something on the desk, looked moved, gently put down the pen in his hand, and put it on the jade pen holder next to him, and then quickly took the small wooden cylinder in the hand of the maid Ning Shuang, pulled out the stopper, and shook it slightly, and suddenly a small note as thin as a cicada's wings fell out of it, and there was a layer of oil reflected on the note, which was obviously treated specially.
At this time, the letter that should have been reported directly by the Youzhou Army was still on the way.
Gu Cang unfolded the note, although the text on it was neat and beautiful, but if an outsider read it completely, he would find that the sentence was not smooth at all, if it was not for someone who knew the encryption method, he would not be able to understand what was written on it, Gu Cang just read it silently for a moment, his face first frowned slightly, with a serious look, and then showed a very satisfied smile.
He closed the note, rerolled it up, put it back in the tube, and threw it back to the maid Frost, where she would put it back in the place where the messages were stored.
For this calm, effective and introverted maid Ning Shuang, Gu Cang has always been reluctant to say a few words, after reading the content of the note, he immediately sighed: "My fifth brother is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has just left the capital for just a few days, and he has been confronted by the horse bandits over there in Youzhou, and he has been seriously injured. ”
first reprimanded Gu Xuan fiercely, and then Gu Cang smiled again: "It's okay, as long as you don't die, eat a sting and grow wise, and finally you can gain experience, summarize mistakes, and grow quickly, it's worth it, and if this happens, the Youzhou Army will be at a loss, and it will be better in the future, and you can also take the opportunity to establish contact with that side, not bad, very good." ”
You must know that the Youzhou Army is actually a very large group, even if it is a prominent family like the Xu family, which has been a general of the Youzhou Army for three generations, it cannot completely control the entire army, after all, many of the people in power now are old men who have been in power for half their lives, with vast connections, many factions, and a bad temper, sometimes you really can't do anything if you don't listen to the tune, and Gu Xuan obviously had the opportunity to cure the crime of the local garrison this time, but he let it go so lightly, which naturally made some people in the army appreciate it very much, and naturally had a little more affection for this future neighbor, the king of Hedong County。
Don't underestimate this favorability, everything is difficult at the beginning, with a good beginning, in order to continue, no one knows what kind of relationship this favor will develop into in the future, but at least there is a beginning, isn't it?
Ning Shuang raised her head slightly, she had just learned all the news from Gu Cang's mouth, and asked with some concern on her face, "Is the fifth master okay?" ”
Gu Cang shook his head gently: "Where can I be fine, but I was seriously injured, fortunately, the fifth brother is not as sick as me, his physical fitness is good, and it will be good to recuperate for a while, but I didn't prepare anything for him before, so I let him go on the road in a hurry, and I already had a desire to boil him up, otherwise it would be better to transfer a team of horsemen directly from my father to him?"
"I want him to know that fighting and killing head-on will not solve the problem, I don't want him to be a person who can only charge into battle, then at most he will be a reckless general, leading troops to fight, and he doesn't know anything else, so what is the use of this world and the people? ”
"It's all a small problem, it's just a horse bandit, it's not worth mentioning, if I want to move them, I don't need to clear the wilderness, I can easily clean up these bed bugs. Gu Cang shook his head and said, he is the prince of a country, the prince of the East Palace, there are too many resources and too much power at his disposal, and it is too simple to deal with this gang of horse bandits who can be said to be a rabble, and because of this, there is no training for people, he just wants to let his fifth brother face these difficulties in a poor and white situation, and solve them.
Qi is complementing each other, and then he is next to him like a craftsman to carve his mind, constantly set things right, and not let this fifth brother deviate from the big way, after all, he has placed all his expectations and dreams on him, and he must not fail.
Gu Cang sighed helplessly, I don't have a backache when I stand and talk, but who told me that I don't have to stand anymore in a few years.
Gently grabbing a written document on the table, Gu Cang shook his head, crumpled it with some annoyance, and then waved his hand and threw it into the charcoal basin next to him, seeing that the sudden fire easily swallowed the paper ball, he supported his chin, and in his eyes, the raging flames in front of him were reflected.
"Next is the real test, after you officially take over everything in Huangsha County, I have prepared a very powerful enemy for you, don't let me down, fifth brother." ”
