Two Little Extras Chapter 24: Assassination
Today's weather is good, many nobles in the city came out to go out, waiting for Gu Qing to get out of the car, and saw someone talking to Li Zheng, in front of outsiders, Li Zheng always showed a warm and kind attitude, so Li Zheng's reputation in the DPRK has always been very good.
Gu Qing looked at him well, and suddenly remembered one thing, once she entered the palace to attend a banquet, Li Zheng went to challenge Xu Tianxing, Xu Tianxing was unwilling to fight him, and then he was provoked and angered, and then injured him, which made the queen mother Feng Yan angry, how did she solve it in the end? She was a little squeezed and couldn't figure it out.
Just looked at the man in front of him who was talking to people, and the little boy who was young but already full of scheming gradually overlapped.
At this moment, Gu Qinghao suddenly felt that Li Zheng was very suitable for being an emperor, and with such strength, he could bear it.
Li Zheng noticed that Gu Qing was good, and he wanted to send away the person who came to talk to him, but he still talked patiently with people, and when he finally finished talking, he turned around and returned to Gu Qinghao's side.
"I'm really sorry, I met an old acquaintance, and I kept you waiting for a long time." Li Zheng said apologetically.
Gu Qing came back to her senses and smiled indifferently: "Your Highness is polite, I have also met an old acquaintance." β
Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and saw Su Cheng jumping down from the carriage with the butler's hand, and when he landed, there was a strange muffled sound.
The moment Li Zheng saw Su Cheng, his brows frowned faintly.
Su Cheng trotted at Gu Qinghao, Gu Qinghao's face was pale, this little fat man's buffer was menacing, and Gu Qinghao was ready to be knocked down.
Suddenly, a hand reached out, grabbed the little fat man by the collar, and lifted him up.
The little fat man blinked, turned his head blankly and saw the second prince, and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing?" β
"Don't hit your sister, it hurts." After Li Zheng finished speaking, he put the little fat man on the ground with an unswerving face, and immediately complained: "Little child, looking young, why is it so heavy!" β
The little fat man was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was disgusted, his fleshy little face bulged, his body twisted, and he pointed his ass at him.
Gu Qing couldn't help but laugh loudly, just like that, the originally awkward and stiff atmosphere between the two suddenly disappeared.
The handsome and elegant man, walking beside the pretty girl, the breeze is gentle, it is very interesting, but a chubby little boy next to him destroys this beauty.
Because Gu Qinghao has been away from the capital for a long time, Li Zheng has been telling her interesting things in the capital, he is very eloquent and humorous, and even Su Cheng listens to it with relish.
As they spoke, a few people walked up the nearby hillside, where there were not many people, and most of the people who came to the city were by the river, where the scenery was beautiful, but it was quiet and quiet.
But Gu Qinghao was a little absent-minded, "Your Highness, I want to ask ......"
"You want to ask your father's attitude towards Xu Tianxing and Master Su, right?" Li Zheng said.
A person who knows the world well, talking to him is this easy, he knows everything, and he is free from embarrassment with each other.
Gu Qinghao nodded, as soon as Li Zheng spoke, an accident suddenly happened, a flying knife flew towards Li Zheng, he subconsciously pushed Gu Qinghao away, and then turned sideways to avoid it.
"There are assassins!" Gu Qinghao shouted loudly.
As soon as Gu Qinghao's words fell, more than a dozen people in black suddenly rushed out.
After Li Zheng pulled Gu Qinghao to hide in the carriage on the side, this time Li Zheng invited Gu Qinghao to come out, and did not bring too many people out, only brought a coachman and four guards, this is the least number of people he can streamline, and the four guards immediately entangled with the man in black.
However, the other party had an advantage in numbers, and their guards were powerful and outnumbered, so Li Zheng immediately asked Gu Qinghao and Su Cheng to get into the car.
"Let's go quickly, go down to the bottom of the hill, there are quite a few people there, and they must have guards with them!" Li Zheng shouted loudly.
Li Zheng personally drove down the mountain, Gu Qinghao sat in the car with Su Cheng in his arms, and the little fat man raised his head and looked at Gu Qinghao: "Sister, I will definitely protect you well!" β
Gu Qinghao smiled bitterly and nodded, and suddenly there was a violent collision, Gu Qinghao instinctively protected Su Cheng in his arms, and then the sky swirled, and Gu Qinghao fell from his seat.
When the two of them finally stabilized their bodies, Gu Qinghao raised his head, the door of the car had already opened because of the shaking, the carriage overturned, and Li Zheng was fighting with the black-clothed man who was chasing them.
He is one against two, and he is not left behind, which shows that his martial arts are superb.
I don't know if I was stimulated by Xu Tianxing back then.
"Sister, what should we do?" Su Cheng said with a crying voice.
The little fat man buried his face in Gu Qinghao's arms, and just now he said that he wanted to protect her, but now he relies on her wholeheartedly.
Gu Qing thought for a while, and then made a decision, "Let's go out." β
The carriage overturned, and they stayed here, just waiting to die, it was better to go out, there were horses outside, and maybe they could find it and report it.
Gu Qing hugged Su Cheng, "Cheng'er, you have a lot of strength, right, it's very powerful, isn't it?" If you see people dressed in black, take them, stone them! β
Su Cheng nodded heavily.
Gu Qinghao took the lead and cautiously climbed out, and the two of them climbed out smoothly, and saw two more men in black chasing after them, this time they ignored Li Zheng, but came at Gu Qinghao.
Gu Qinghao's hairs stood on end, "Cheng'er!" β
Su Cheng picked up something from the ground and threw it at the two people, although he had a lot of strength, but he didn't have the right head, and he threw it empty at the first time.
Gu Qinghao picked up Su Cheng and ran out, Gu Qinghao found that the idea of trying to escape by riding a horse just now was still too naΓ―ve, the carriage overturned to the ground, the horse was frightened and pressed under the carriage, and the two men in black were close at hand!
Suddenly, a long sword crossed in front of Gu Qinghao, and Li Zheng saw that Gu Qinghao was in danger, so he hurriedly came over to save her!
Li Zheng used a long sword, barely blocking their attack, Gu Qinghao's eyes widened, and suddenly a knife from a man in black stabbed at her, and Li Zheng blocked in front of her without hesitation.
The knife stabbed into Li Zheng's thin body, and the blood dripped down the tip of the knife and landed on Gu Qinghao's shoes, and her eyes shrank in shock.
Su Cheng saw that someone wanted to hurt his sister, so angry that he stepped on the man in black fiercely, and the man in black ...... At that time, I couldn't move.
Look at it that way, the fracture is certain.
Gu Qing helped Li Zheng, "Your Highness! You're hurt! β
Gu Qing was so anxious, fortunately, the people under the mountain heard the fight above, and they smashed the carriage again, and someone noticed that Li Zheng went up the hill and hurriedly sent someone over to inquire about the situation.
As soon as they saw someone coming, a group of men in black retreated without saying a word, which can be described as well-trained.
Gu Qinghao watched them leave, and her eyes flashed slightly.
When the people on the mountain saw that Li Zheng was injured, they hurriedly carried the person to the carriage and wanted to send the person back.
Li Zhengdao: "Don't go back to the palace, if the father and the queen mother know, they will have to worry again, and when the time comes, go to my prince's mansion." β
Gu Qing sighed: "Your Highness, there are many people who have seen you injured today, such a big movement, even if you don't return to the palace, Your Majesty and Niangniang must know, and you don't go back to the palace, but go to the prince's mansion, which is even more suspicious." β
Li Zheng was lying on his side, his hand still covering the wound, looking at Gu Qing and said, "You are so smart, why don't you help me think of a way?" β
Gu Qing sighed, "It's better to go back to the palace as soon as possible, Your Royal Highness has a noble status, and you still need the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it." β
Li Zheng's face was a little pale, and when he heard her words, his eyes also dimmed, but he still smiled and said, "Okay, then listen to you." β
Li Zheng was trying to save Gu Qinghao, and it was reasonable for her to let him go back to the palace alone, so she had to go back with her.
Back then, Li Zheng went to Xu Tianxing to fight, and lost, Yun Huanting was so anxious that she almost asked the Gu family to make amends to Li Zheng, it was just a child fight, but now it's good, Li Zheng was assassinated, and Yun Huanting moved the entire Tai Hospital to Fengqi Palace.
Gu Qinghao, as the culprit, received countless cold eyes from the queen mother during the period, and the palace maids and eunuchs followed suit, and they all looked blind to Gu Qinghao.
Li Sheng was late, and as soon as she arrived at Qiwu Palace, Yun Huanting shifted her attention slightly.
"Your Majesty! This matter must be thoroughly investigated! In broad daylight! Dare to assassinate the prince! Is there any royal law left? Yun Huanting said angrily.
Li Sheng is indifferent to the children, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't love the children, no matter how he is his own son, his face is also a little ugly.
"How's Zheng'er? Is it a big deal? β
Hearing Li Sheng's concern, Yun Huanting's face looked a little better: "Your Majesty! Don't you know, such a long knife stabbed into the body, can you be fine? The blood has been brought out several pots," she said, wiping her tears: "He is a piece of meat that fell from my October pregnancy, I look at it, it's really ......"
Li Sheng comforted him gently, but the relationship between the two husband and wife has been weak in recent years, and this comfort seems a little blunt.
Li Sheng glanced at Gu Qinghao, who was standing on the side, and frowned: "Qing'er? How did you end up here? β
Gu Qing smiled bitterly, "When the second prince had an accident, it happened that I, I was also there." β
Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then where are you hurt?" What about the doctor! Hurry up and check Miss Gu's pulse! β
As soon as the emperor said a word, the imperial doctor immediately came over to ask Gu Qing for a pulse, and Gu Qing waved his hand again and again: "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, but His Royal Highness was injured to protect me." β
Li Sheng looked unimpressed: "He is a man, it is supposed to protect you as a girl, don't worry, he will be fine." β
Yun Huanting on the side listened and clenched the veil with hatred, Su Yunlai's daughter was golden, her son was injured like this, and she didn't see him nervous like this!
Gu Qinghao felt even more guilty, and lowered her head uneasily.
But fortunately, Li Zheng is young and in good health, and he usually maintains it well, so it is not life-threatening, but the imperial doctor is very smart, and he deliberately said that the injury was much more serious in front of Li Sheng, and then turned his head to look at Yun Huanting, but nodded slightly.
Gu Qinghao saw the look of the imperial doctor in her eyes, but she sighed in her heart, the things in this palace are really unclear.
Gu Qing took a good look at Li Zheng, and then explained to Li Sheng what happened today.
"The other party is obviously prepared, at least he must know that His Majesty is going out today." Gu Qinghao said truthfully: "And I look at these assassins, they are all agile and well-trained, I am afraid they are not ordinary assassins." β
Yun Huanting immediately said: "Your Majesty! They are so bold that they even dare to assassinate the prince, they must have been eyeing Zheng'er for a long time! You must order a thorough investigation and return justice to the government! After a pause, she suddenly said, "Is it the remnant of the Fourth Highness?" Zheng'er has just messed up the party, could it be the remnants of the Fourth Highness who retaliate against him? β
Li Zheng's efforts to quell the chaos have been in the limelight for a while, and this speculation is not wrong.
Gu Qinghao stood aside with her hands tied down and lowered her gaze, and did not speak.
Li Sheng said: "Well, it should be so, turn around and let Su Zhan ......"
Li Sheng's voice stopped abruptly, and then he remembered that Su Zhan was imprisoned by him, but he used to call Su Zhan's name to be used to it, and so on, no one dared to take care of it, and there was no drudgery that he was willing to manage, Su Zhan could do it properly.
Now there is really no one available.
Gu Qinghao was already looking at him with blank eyes, and Li Sheng just wanted to fulfill her wish: "Go back and hand over this matter to the Criminal Department, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the prince was actually stabbed, and the Criminal Department is duty-bound." β
Yun Huanting's expression is a little not good-looking, the Criminal Department is a showmanship, there have been no major cases in the past few years, the ability of the Criminal Department has long been returned to the ancestors, let them investigate, then this matter will be over, it is better to let Su Zhan handle it.
Master Su didn't say anything else, and the errand never disappointed.
After Gu Qing returned, he ignored Li Zheng's earnest gaze and left the palace.
Yun Wanting was not at ease about handing over the matter to the Criminal Department for investigation, so she wrote a letter to the Yun family, asking the Yun family to investigate whether it was the remnants of the Fourth Highness, and one more thing, she was more worried.
In order to consolidate her position, the Yun family sent another woman from the Yun family into the palace, which was later Yun Zhaorong. When Yun Zhaorong first entered the palace, he always looked at Yun Huanting, but later Yun Huanting targeted Su Yunlai everywhere, and Su Yunlai was angry, so he used a discordant plan to make Yun Zhaorong and Yun Huanting turn against each other.
Yun Zhaorong later flattered Li Sheng everywhere, and later became pregnant with a child and gave birth to the Seventh Prince, who is twelve years old this year, tiger-headed and tiger-brained, very cute, just the same age as Gu Jingxuan, Li Sheng loves him a lot.
It was also because of this that Li Zheng had a sense of crisis, and immediately went to Xuzhou City.
In the past few days, Li Zheng has been in the limelight, Yun Huanting is proud, but she can't help but be vigilant, except for the Fourth Highness, don't let anyone else fish in troubled waters is not good for her son.
Yun Zhaorong was suspicious of Yun Huanting.
Poor Shangshu of the Criminal Department, people sit at home, and the disaster comes from the sky, I really miss Master Su too much.
Gu Qinghao didn't know about going out with Li Sheng yet, Xu Tianxing already knew about it, and she also deliberately ran to the prison, although she didn't go in, but this couldn't stop Miss Gu.
This cell is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the position of Xu Tianxing and the others is the best, as well as the windows, which is not a wrong treatment in the prison.
Gu Qinghao followed the route in her memory and shouted loudly: "Tianxing! Xu Tianxing! I've come to see you! β
After thinking about it, he was worried that he wouldn't hear it, so he shouted again: "Xu Tianxing!" I've come to see you! Did you hear that? β
Xu Tianxing, who was in prison, was startled when he heard the voice, hurriedly stood up, and shouted loudly: "I heard it!" β
Gu Qing smiled, "That's good!" They, they won't let me in! I'm here to tell you! You have to eat well! Sleep well! β
"I will! You have to take care of yourself too! Xu Tianxing then shouted.
Su Zhan was so angry! Angry, he began to circle in prison.
"She's also everyone's best girl, after the famous family! I actually learned to shout outside from the shrew! That's how Ah Wan raised her? I'm so! Su Zhan said angrily.
Xu Guanyi, who was on the side, smiled faintly, and a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes: "In the end, it's her daughter, it's really extraordinary." β
Su Zhan glared at him: "Co-author is not your daughter!" You don't have to worry! β
Xu Guanyi raised his head and glanced at him: "If it were my daughter, she could be as brave and resolute as Qing'er, smart and smart, and I would wake up laughing from my dreams." β
Having the courage to run outside the prison and shouting is not something that any girl can do, it takes courage and perseverance, and is obsessed with what she does right.
Su Zhan was choked by him, and he didn't have anything to say, he couldn't say Xu Guanyi before.
Su Zhan sighed, sat down next to the straw, and listened to the two of them say something sentence by sentence, just saying something about whether they had eaten or not, what they had for dinner, and so on, and actually smiled when they heard it, I don't know if they can hear it from the female prison when they shout from here.
The guards of the prison looked confused, what should I do? What can they do, the second prince's order is not to let Gu Qing go in to see people, but they really didn't go in, but it didn't prevent the two of them from getting in touch.
Several guards glanced at each other, and sighed in unison, their second prince, I am afraid that this time the purpose will be frustrated.
After Gu Qinghao got in touch with Xu Tianxing, she went home satisfied.
It was Xu Tianxing, who sat down, and there was no more shouting of the girl in his ears, and suddenly felt that the entire prison was too quiet.
Su Zhan couldn't see him so proud, and said coldly: "I don't know when Your Majesty will let us go out, maybe we won't be able to go out, the second prince is eyeing us outside, maybe, when we finally go out, Qing'er has become the second princess." β
Xu Tianxing's face turned cold, he hooked the corners of his lips, and snorted coldly: "Wishful thinking!" β
Su Zhan raised his eyebrows: "You are in prison now, is it possible that there is something else you can do?" β
Xu Guanyi shook his head and sighed slightly, this old friend of his, he really doesn't learn to be obedient, and he doesn't want to think about it, Xu Tianxing has been wandering since he was a child, and he is the most observant of words and feelings, but how old was he when he fell into the hands of the fourth prince? As a result, he was able to cooperate with his people to set fire to the house and escaped.
Later, he saw that he liked Su Yunlai, and then he took various opportunities to get close to Su Yunlai, and the reason for the first quarrel between Su Yunlai and Gu Junyan was this little ghost.
How old was he back then? It's almost the same as Su Cheng, but now Su Cheng is still a little fat man who only knows how to eat chicken legs, innocent.
So everyone actually underestimates General Xu, according to the scheming methods, he started since he was a child, Li Zheng played tricks in order to fight for power and seize the position, Xu Tianxing played tricks in order to survive, so can it be the same?
Xu Tianxing didn't speak, but secretly pondered in his heart.
That night, the guards brought the food, and Su Zhan was just about to pick it up, when he saw that Xu Tianxing and Xu Guanyi had not moved, he paused, and looked at today's dishes, sweet and sour pork ribs and Dongpo meat, which were all his favorite dishes.
Although their meals are usually more abundant than others, this is the first time that they have such a hearty meal.
Xu Tianxing picked up the food, picked a piece of meat and threw it in the corner, there was never a shortage of rats in the prison, and soon the rats came over to eat the meat, and just after eating, the rat's tail shook and fell to the ground softly.
Poisonous in the dish!
Since ancient times, those who have fought for power and seized the position, and those who want to sit in that position are indispensable, one is military power, and the other is silver.
Yes, it's silver, what if you don't have it? How to tip? How to recruit talent? So the role of a grandfather's family is revealed.
Li Zheng is backed by the deep-rooted Yun family, so he naturally has no worries, and the Yun family has accumulated a lot of money in order to support the second prince to ascend to the throne.
Among them, Yun Kelai, the largest restaurant in the capital, is the Yun family.
As the largest restaurant in the capital, Yunkelai has dishes that ordinary people can afford, and the people who come and go are dignitaries, so on this day, as soon as it opened, more than ten big soldiers came.
Wearing military uniforms, they are the cheapest materials, and they are full of gangsterism, not like a soldier, but like they are here to smash the field.
However, when opening a store, what they pay attention to is to greet each other with a smile, and they are still wearing Xu Jiajun's military uniform, which cannot be underestimated.
So the person in charge personally greeted him: "A few military masters, what are you going to eat?" β
The leader was a man in his forties, who said lazily when he heard the words: "If you don't eat it, just come and take a look, I heard that the things from this Yunke are delicious only in the sky, Lao Tzu has never eaten it, and he can't afford to eat it, so he came to smell it, no?" β
The shopkeeper couldn't cry or laugh, there were a lot of people who couldn't afford to eat, but there weren't many people who couldn't afford to eat and ran to the store to smash the field.
"Yes, yes, it's just a few military masters, we're here to do business, you're ......"
"We don't embarrass you, we can't afford to eat, but we can still afford a pot of tea! Let's have a pot of tea, it's cheap, and we'll also taste what the old men eat. Another younger man next to him said.
The shopkeeper was helpless, and ordered Xiao Er to serve tea to people.
Xiao Er came back from tea, and said to the shopkeeper with a disdainful face: "Shopkeeper, look at a few of them, this guest doesn't come in, just let them mess around here?" If it spreads, I think our Yun family is afraid of him! β
The shopkeeper glared at him, "What do you know?" Do your job! β
Yun Kelai is an important industry of the Yun family in the capital, he can be the shopkeeper, he is not an ordinary person, now the second prince has just returned from the border pass, is the only prince with military merits, and has just pacified the chaotic party, it is a critical time, at this time, the people under them, naturally have to be more cautious, can not make the slightest mistake, although it is only a few big soldiers, but many people are planted in these small things.
The shopkeeper thought about it, and asked someone to send a few more snacks.
The shopkeeper didn't expect that no matter how cautious he was, something still happened, and a few soldiers who drank tea fell down with their stomachs covered, and more than a dozen burly men fell down in unison, which frightened the guests in the store and threw the chopsticks in their hands directly.
