Pei Yonglun couldn't help sneering, although he didn't have an immediate attack, he still felt that Gu Changming's words were too unreliable. The third princess has grown up since she was a child, and I am afraid that she has never even gone out of the palace gate, how to find someone to answer and go! What's more, the golden branches and jade leaves with their hands not touching the spring water, where can they marry and make a living!
"It is said that the prince of Changming is a very famous title, anyway, I am away all the year round and know very little about Kaifeng Mansion. The third princess is gone, you and I have a task on our bodies, and it is certain that we are anxious, but it is very boring to talk about it. "Pei Yonglun doesn't believe in evil, since the third princess has been taken away, there must be other traces. He shouldn't waste time here, but immediately send his cronies to get the third princess back.
"I didn't say anything, every sentence was well thought out." Of course, Gu Changming saw Pei Yonglun's suspicions. Since he does not believe it, he will find reliable clues to convince him.
Pei Yonglun saw that he hadn't brushed his sleeves away yet, Gu Changming walked faster than him, thinking that this person had seen something wrong and wanted to escape with his accomplices!
When he raised his head and looked at the upper room where the third princess was staying, he quickly dispelled this thought. Obviously, the one inside will not slip away, and he will stay and continue to deal with that Xiao Zheng.
Thinking like this, Pei Yonglun decided to dispel his doubts and catch up with Gu Changming's footsteps: "I didn't say anything about you, where are you in a hurry?" ”
"Find out the third princess." Gu Changming replied calmly.
"Go, where to find it?" Seeing that he was so determined, Pei Yonglun was a little uncertain, "The maid found out late, I'm afraid she has already run a long distance." We have limited manpower, and we can't let the Liao envoys find out. ”
"Didn't go far." Gu Changming saw that he had followed, so he simply walked slowly and waited for him, "How many people can be mobilized under Master Pei?" ”
"The whole family send-off team is fine. If you just go out in full, you'll definitely find something out there. Pei Yonglun scratched the back of his head hard, and suddenly found that he couldn't understand the person in front of him.
"You don't need so much, find a few young brothers, four or five are enough." Gu Changming turned his head and gave him a meaningful smile, "Can you get it?" ”
"Yes, no problem." Pei Yonglun consciously obeyed Gu Changming's arrangement, "Everyone has been found, go to the door of the room where you lived just now?" ”
"It's fine." Gu Changming still had a useful helper under his hand, and sure enough, as soon as he came back, the three of them did not disperse, and squatted in the house to wait for him.
He said that the three princesses disappeared without a trace, and the three of them did not look in a hurry. The little phoenix said softly: "The third princess can't be improvised. ”
"There are helpers, and most of them are by her side." Dai Guozi almost thought the same, "It's simple for her to be so early, and all those who stay are unlucky, Xiaozhu is not in vain." ”
"You are much wiser." Gu Changming pushed open the window and probed out, "Over there is the window of the third princess's residence." ”
The little phoenix took a quick look and knew that the third princess couldn't escape from the window: "Has Master Pei already sent someone out to investigate?" ”
"Not yet, and not so much." Gu Changming heard a knock on the door, "He brought someone over." ”
Pei Yonglun saw that three more people appeared behind Gu Changming, and at this time, he couldn't care about what their identities were, they could all help.
Gu Changming pointed to the people brought by Pei Yonglun: "Go to the stove room to find the wine stored in the post station, put it in a small bottle, and knock on the door one by one, saying that Master Pei is rising today, please drink everyone." ”
Several people looked at each other, not to say that they had to complete important tasks, but what kind of task was it to deliver wine?
"In the post station, except for those Liao people, the rest are all our own people." Pei Yonglun thought that he would hear Gu Changming come up with a perfect countermeasure, and he couldn't help but be disappointed at this time, "It's absolutely no problem to find the third princess and then ask for a drink, it's really not a good time at this time." ”
"All of them go, and the fruit goes with them." Before Gu Changming's words fell, Dai Guozi had already left with a swagger. Seeing that someone took the lead, they were afraid that the great merit would be taken away by this eye-catching guy, so they rushed to the stove room without waiting for Pei Yonglun's second advice.
"What the hell did you come up with?" Pei Yonglun said in his heart that if you delay the time any longer, you will really lose the third princess, and you will definitely be punished. But in the face of Gu Changming's expression, he swallowed all the words, and he couldn't speak.
"Master Pei, make a pot of tea, sit down, and you'll see soon." Gu Changming beckoned the people from the post station to come over to make tea, and made a gesture to Pei Yonglun to sit down, "You are tense, it is easy for Xiao Zheng to see the flaws." ”
"Where is Xiao Zheng!" Pei Yonglun first shouted loudly, something was wrong, and quickly retracted his voice, which was very low and deep, "You mean Xiao Zheng is spying on us?" ”
"It's normal for him to be more vigilant because of our presence." Gu Changming took the teacup and drank half a cup slowly. immediately told Pei Yonglun how he and Liu Zhuxue met Xiao Zheng, "He may not doubt the third princess's going, but looking for the girl who stayed with the third princess." ”
"The one who just dropped something." Pei Yonglun held the teacup in both hands and drank tea, "Are you sure that you can find the third princess by drinking, someone is drinking happily, and they will tell us the clues when they come out." ”
Gu Changming chuckled and shook his head, originally wanting to test Pei Yonglun's ability. Now it seems that those who are fighting on the battlefield are very powerful, and they are blind to these details.
He definitely didn't mean to embarrass Pei Yonglun, seeing that he was so anxious, he tapped the case twice: "Master Pei, the third princess didn't leave the post station at all." People are still here, waiting for a circle of doors to knock down, and some people will be unable to hold their breath. ”
"You said that the third princess was not only taken captive, but also still in the post station!" Pei Yonglun is really not startled, I don't know how to meet Gu Changming, this person just has the ability to turn things around from angles that ordinary people can't imagine.
"As you said, the princess doesn't know how to ride a horse, and her legs aren't light. If she tries to escape, we will be able to catch up with her. Gu Changming had to say that a woman in such gorgeous clothes was too eye-catching. All the way over, there are more than ten miles of official roads in the middle, there are no people on both sides, even if she barely grits her teeth and persists, as long as she is seen by strangers halfway, and points out the direction for them who are chasing after her, the chance of getting out is very small.
Little Phoenix has a very right saying, the third princess is not improvised, but has been planning for a long time. Along the way, I lived in a post station a few times, but I chose here, and there must be another cat in it.
"Master Pei, you find out the official in charge of the post station. Since you are in charge of sending your relatives, you always have some good things rewarded by the emperor in your hands, and it is very good to take them out of the town. Gu Changming heard the knocks on the door one after another, politely said that he wanted to send wine, and thanked the people in the door. There are only a few rooms in the inn, and we will soon find out.
Where did Pei Yonglun have the heart to sit there and drink tea, he was basically led by Gu Changming, he said a word, and did something immediately. It seems that General Yujing has never been so obedient in front of him.
The official in charge of the post station was quickly called to the front, but it was a very small official, and when he saw the captain of the family sending team hand-picked by the emperor, he didn't even dare to come out, for fear that he didn't serve well before and after, and he wanted to come to find trouble. And he wanted to crook it a little deeper, rubbed his hands and said: "My lord, although this is an official road, there are not many people who come and go every year. It's nothing more than a place to settle down, and I really can't save any silver and filial piety. ”
Pei Yonglun immediately understood when he heard it this time, snorted, and almost smashed the tea cup in his hand: "Who said that he was begging for silver taels!" I have something to ask you! ”
The official only promised a few words, and made sure that Pei Yonglun was not looking for trouble, so he dared to raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead: "My lord, I must know everything." ”
"Speak human words!" When Pei Yonglun heard this crepe sentence, his heart became even more irritable. Don't look at Gu Changming, who is gentle and elegant, with a knowledgeable appearance, but his speech is simple and concise, and he has no sour taste of a scholar at all.
"As long as I know, I must tell all my lords!" The official's tail note was trembling.
"You ask, you ask." Pei Yonglun's patience was about to be exhausted, for fear that the anger would come up and beat the other party to a blue nose and swollen eyes, so he hurriedly covered his eyes with one hand and pointed at Gu Changming with the other.
"In the post station, in addition to the princess's send-off party, there are still other people?" Gu Changming's tone was the opposite of Pei Yonglun's, giving people a sense of peace of mind.
"No, there's no one else living there. I received that the family sending team was going to stay at the post station, and they all sorted it out early, but I was worried that the princess would not be thorough enough. The official's voice raised slightly, "This place is far away from the feudal mansion, although there is a ration from the imperial court, the conditions of food and accommodation must be very different from those in the palace." If the princess blames it and passes it to the emperor, not only will my official position be difficult to protect, but I am afraid that I will ......."
"The princess knows and understands etiquette, and naturally knows that the outside of the palace and the inside of the palace are incomparable, and she will not blame you for this." Gu Changming's upper body leaned forward slightly and said with a smile, "But, why are you lying again?" ”
Pei Yonglun listened dissatisfied, the conversation between the two was not interesting at all, but when Gu Changming's words came out, his eyes widened suddenly. What the! This man has been lying!
"My lord, my lord, I tell the truth, I don't dare to lie." The other party only grabbed the ground with his head to show his innocence.
"The only people who can settle in the post station are the officials of the Song and Liao countries, and sometimes when they are free, it is not uncommon for someone to let unrelated people stay overnight in order to make some extra money." Gu Changming said the first thing he said, "Don't think that something will happen just because that person is related to you." Often only relatives and friends are affected, and I should teach you this truth today. ”
Before the one on the ground could open his mouth to defend himself, a woman's screams came from a guest room in the corner of the first floor, and the scolding of Dai Guozi.
"I won't wrong a good person." Gu Changming slapped the other party's shoulder twice and turned away.
Pei Yonglun simply gritted his teeth and poked a finger in the other party's head: "You just kneel for me, and come back to clean you up." ”
Gu Changming saw Dai Guozi blocking the door of a guest room, not letting people in or out, and he was sure that the scream just now came from inside.
The voice of the little phoenix came from outside: "I'm guarding the window, if someone wants to climb out of the window, it's better to save some effort." ”
When Dai Guozi saw that Gu Changming had arrived, he was sure that no one could run, so he pushed on the door frame with one hand, raised his chin towards the people in the room, and said, "Everyone else is fine when they open the door, only he is flustered." I don't think he's wearing the clothes of the family team, nor is he doing things at the post station, who are you, let's explain it yourself. ”
