Chapter 124: A Night of Shock (9)
At the entrance of the eldest princess's mansion, which is considered to be the new powerful in Daliang, because it was already night, the servants of the mansion hung a few lanterns for lighting at the gate early, and set off the two stone lions at the door that were used as evil spirits to ward off evil spirits, as if they had spirituality.
On both sides of the gate that is not shy about opening directly, there is also a guard standing on each side, but because of the "knife ban" implemented by the former prince Gu Cang by the hand of Jingzhao Mansion, in this Gyeonggi important place, unless it is a "knife holding certificate" specially approved by the government, it is never allowed to hold a knife, at least you can't come openly and resist the imperial decree, so the sabers on the waists of these two guards are actually decorations, and it is just a long stick that has not been opened, of course, the lethality is also there.
Just got off the horse and walked to the three people who approached, Ma Erhu was standing in the shadow at the corner of the opposite room, Gu Xuan stretched out his hand, handed the identity token he was carrying to him, and whispered: "Erhu, go and find the guard at the door, just say that there is something important to ask to see their master, remember, don't explain to anyone before you meet the eldest princess." β
His voice was low, he was barely standing against the wall, his lips were white, and he was extremely weak, and his physical condition at this moment was not much better than when he had fallen off the cliff.
The wound in the back of the waist has begun to fester, and the toxin has gradually lost sensation in the entire waist as the knife wound deepens, and there is no way to deal with it in a short time.
In fact, he originally wanted to take the two of them directly through the back door of the eldest princess's mansion to sneak over the wall and touch in, but when he arrived here, he found that he was already powerless, and Ji Yaoling's subordinates have a lot of capable doormen, and it is easy to find the clues.
Although it was entrusted by Gu Xuan, Ma Erhu held the token in his hand, and his expression was quite embarrassed.
He was afraid.
"Your Highness, I γγγγγγ β
Gu Xuan reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at him, and for a moment, he began to miss that young man from the bottom of his heart, if he was there, he would never be so timid, hesitating, if he was there, he wouldn't need to tell him so much.
He also wanted to let the more daring Morobeti go, but the appearance of the Rakshasa clan was too conspicuous, and it was good that the two guards would not be startled when they saw it, but they might not help spread the word, and maybe they would alarm more people when the time came.
Gu Xuan gritted his teeth, he didn't have much strength to say anything more now, so he could only gently pat Ma Erhu's shoulder and mutter: "Erhu, the life and death of the three of us depends on you now." β
Ma Erhu lowered his head, looked at the token in his hand, then raised his head to look at Gu Xuan, who had closed his eyes and was trying to breathe, and then looked at Morobetti who looked helpless next to him, and after hesitating for a few breaths, he gritted his teeth, grabbed the token, and rushed out.
"Who?"
The two guards at the door saw a figure suddenly running out of the shadow on the opposite corner, and then rushed straight to this side, and they were immediately alarmed, and naturally shouted at Ma Erhu at this moment.
Ma Erhu gritted his teeth and didn't answer, but walked all the way to the eaves, and waited until the other party had already pulled out the stick on his waist, and then said in a low voice: "There is an urgent matter to find your master, the stakes are very high, and you can't delay, I hope you two will forgive me, please pass it on your behalf." β
The two guards looked at the man in front of him with some suspicion, although he was a little discouraged, but they could still see that the material of the clothes on his body was not ordinary, and this identity should not be low, and he immediately stopped the idea of sending him away directly, but the stick in his hand still did not put down, and he was still thinking about whether to listen to the other party's words and go to the house to spread the word.
Ma Erhu saw that the other party had not spoken, and there was no movement, so he woke up instantly, and immediately took out a handful of broken silver from his arms, all of which were past savings, endured the pain and took it, and said half pleadingly: "Please also tell Her Royal Highness the eldest princess that there is indeed something important to discuss with Your Highness!"
The two of them glanced at each other, then turned their heads around to look around, and saw that the whole street was silent and empty, so they took the silver handed by the other party with confidence, and then nodded with a smile: "Okay, you can wait a while." β
The benefits have been taken, and the other party understands the rules so well, and he doesn't look like the kind of person who wants to make trouble, the two of them look at the door, but they are not qualified to be embarrassed, after all, if it is really urgent to find the master, once delayed, the master will have to offend them, it is really unnecessary.
One person immediately turned around and left, and quickly ran to the house to pass the word, while the other person stayed where he was and watched Ma Erhu, after all, it was in the capital, and they were not worried about whether only one person could restrain a person with ill intentions.
Fortunately, Ma Erhu didn't make trouble, and after about a few minutes, a person suddenly came out of the fight, but it was not Ji Yaoling, but the neighbor around Ji Yaoling, and Wu Qi, who had a conflict with Gu Xuan.
This Wu Qi was Ji Yaoling's personal guard, a servant specially given to her by Ji Yaoling's father, just like the previous relationship between Jinglong and Gu Xuan, he escorted her all the way south from the atrium, although in fact, the later purpose was not simple, but at least it could bear the word "loyalty".
In addition, he does have some ability, so Ji Yaoling did not forget him after Da Liang gained power, but was directly promoted to the head of the house, and also ran around for him, hoping to find a chance for him to show his skills, but he was forcibly pressed down by Gu Cang.
"Boss!"
When the guard saw that it was Wu Qi who came out, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, Ma Erhu also raised his head, the two glanced at each other hastily, Wu Qi frowned slightly, he actually didn't recognize Ma Erhu, after all, Gu Xuan came to visit a few days ago, and Ma Erhu and others have been receiving ordinary etiquette training in the prince's mansion these days, and they didn't show up, and it is normal not to know each other, although they actually had a relationship in Huangsha County, but Ma Erhu They are just ordinary subordinates, how can Wu Qi pay attention, so they don't recognize the identity of the other party at the momentγ
"Who are you and why are you here?"
Wu Qi didn't remember Ma Erhu, but Ma Erhu's memory was good, he remembered that this person who had spoken disrespectfully to his master, and was taught a lesson, looked at the other party like this, as if he didn't recognize himself, and suddenly his thoughts turned sharply, and secretly said that if he told him honestly, it would be difficult to guarantee that this kid would not hold a grudge because of the old things and make a hindrance from it, so he quickly lied: "I was entrusted by a big man to come to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to have something important, and before I saw Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I would like to forgive me for not being able to say it." β
Thanks to the gentleman in the prince's mansion for his careful teaching to them, this speech is beautiful and decent, and no matter who listens to it, he will not be associated with the mud legs of a village in Youzhou, or the soldiers in a county town on the border.
When Wu Qi heard this, his brows frowned slightly, to be honest, his heart is actually not small, his self-holding identity is not bad, and his skills are strong, especially after coming to this cool country, he has always looked at these natives in the south with a contemptuous attitude, except for Ji Yaoling, the nominal master, he respects more, other people, in fact, he doesn't pay attention to it, of course, the little prince of Huangsha County who caused himself a great shame He has always remembered.
The other party hid and refused to say, which aroused his curiosity and self-esteem, and immediately turned sideways and did not look at him, but said majestically: "I am the chief manager of the eldest princess's mansion, if you have something, say it to me, it is the same, if you don't say it, I am inconvenient to let you enter the mansion, after all, the safety of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is the most important, who knows what evil intentions your kid is hiding?"
Ma Erhu was still a little tender in the end, and when he heard that the other party didn't let him enter the mansion, he was suddenly a little anxious, and quickly identified himself and said: "I am from the Prince's Mansion, and it is indeed urgent to find Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Erhu himself regretted that he wanted to slap himself twice, but when the words were spoken, he would not change his words, and at this time he could only hope that the other party could look at the identity of his master and dare not make a hindrance for the time being.
When Wu Qi heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted slightly, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly smiled and said very affectionately: "It turned out to be a noble person from the Prince's Mansion, please come in with me quickly, by the way, are you coming alone?"
Ma Erhu was suddenly asked like this, completely subconsciously turned his head slightly, his eyes glanced at the place where Gu Xuan and Morobeti were hiding, and then reacted, turned his head, and was about to deny it, but then he changed his words and said: "Yes, of course it's just me." β
Wu Qi's gaze followed Ma Erhu's subtle small movement, and suddenly jumped to the dark place of the opposite street, and an inexplicable smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he immediately let go of his position, revealing the gate to the mansion, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, please come in, and I will go and inform Her Royal Highness the eldest princess for you!"
Ma Erhu breathed a sigh of relief, the secret path finally passed smoothly, there was no problem, and he could explain to the prince and Mingze.
If it weren't for Ma Mingze's entrustment before leaving, he would never dare to take risks alone, it should be said that he was not born a person who likes to take responsibility, this is the fundamental difference between him and Ma Mingze, even if the two people take the same path, but the final landing point must be different, fortunately, he still attaches great importance to feelings, the young man's life and death are unknown now, plus even his brain can figure out a truth, that is, Gu Xuan's safety must be guaranteed, only if he is safe, he can be safe, Mingze can be safe, even if Mingze unfortunately dies, at least, he can avenge himγ
