Chapter 70: A Night Expedition to the Koufu
The days passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was already early winter, and because of his special status, Master Chu took a few envoys from the Southern Zhao to return to China first, but left behind a Gu Solving Warlock and a few maids, and the maids stayed by Chu Li's side, saying that they were serving Chu Li's daily life. Song Jinyan didn't seem to care about this, and after sending Chu Shi away, Chu Li proposed several times that he wanted to move out of his palace, but Song Jinyan beat him back lukewarmly.
I don't know if it was really Heqingyu who played a role, and the Gu poison on Kou Shu's body had not occurred during this time. It's just that the body is more tired after winter, and the stove is burning non-stop all day and all night in Changle Palace, and Kou Shu is squinting all day long, looking quite sleepy.
A letter was suddenly handed to his eyes, making Kou Shu's eyes light up - this was the handwriting of Sui Yuanzhou, who he was very familiar with. I think it should be my father's business, and I found out a little eyebrows.
Receiving the letter handed over by the mandarin duck, Kou Shu hurriedly opened it and swept it through ten lines at a glance.
Sui Yuanzhou said in the letter that he found out that He Gang and the owner of the Tiemeng Villa had close contacts with the Yanzhou prefect, and that he had mixed into the Yanzhou Mansion by virtue of his official position. In the letter, Sui Yuanzhou mentioned that these people seemed to be acting at the behest of other people, and this person was very deeply hidden, and he did not find out.
Another extremely important point mentioned by Sui Yuanzhou in the letter is that Kou Yunwu was criticized for fleeing the war that day, but in fact, Kou Yunwu was not in the army at all, and no one knew where Kou Yunwu was.
Kou Shu frowned, his father is a general, with great military achievements, he has been governing the army for many years, although his majesty is strict, he is also extremely demanding of himself. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, my father can't get up in the morning to practice every day, how can my father leave the army without permission? What exactly is happening?
Thinking of this, Kou Shu retreated, leaving only Yuan Yun alone, and made a secret call, Yuan Ming immediately turned over and entered the window and appeared in front of Kou Shu.
Seeing the person in front of him, Kou Shu opened his mouth and said: "I'm going out of the palace tonight, Yuan Ming, you take me out of the palace, Yuan Yun is in the palace, don't let people find out about this." β
The faces of the two of them changed, it was a big crime for the palace concubine to leave the palace without permission, and she would be beheaded if she was discovered. Yuan Yun's face was anxious, and he stopped talking. Kou Shu raised her hand to stop Yuan Yun, explained the ins and outs of the matter, and said: "Now my father is not only dead in vain, but also bears the name of a traitor for no reason, and I, as his daughter, can't sit idly by." If I'm not mistaken, during the time when my father was not in the army, my mother's behavior in the mansion was also a little strange, I must go back to Kou Mansion to find out the truth. β
Yuan Yun wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but Yuan Ming nodded and said, "Don't worry, little master, Yuan Ming will do his best to protect the little master." β
Hearing his brother say this, Yuan Yun glanced at Yuan Ming, and didn't say anything, but his heart was inexplicably raised.
The weather in early winter is already a little chilly, ordinary people put out the oil lamps early and go to bed, and the streets are dark on both sides, all quiet. The two black figures passed by very quickly, and if ordinary people didn't look carefully, they would only feel that they were dazzled.
In the dark night, Yuan Ming carried Kou Shu to make light efforts, and returned to Kou Mansion in a short time.
The former high-ranking family, now has been cold in front of the door, the heavy knocker has fallen a thick dust, engraved with the word "Koufu" is because no one has wiped it for a long time, showing extraordinary decay, everything shows that the glory of the past has long been gone, replaced by the bleak scene of today.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Kou Shu's heart slowly rose a sense of desolation, and she slowly stepped forward, only feeling that everything was so familiar, but now things are different from people, and she feels different from the past, which makes Kou Shu feel different kinds of strangeness.
Yuan Ming's voice suddenly came: "Little masterβthere are people here." β
Kou Shu's heart tightened, and she hurriedly retreated behind Yuan Ming.
As he spoke, Yuan Ming had already drawn out the arrow at his waist, got up suddenly, and stabbed towards the darkness like a bamboo. Kou Shu only felt that the cold light flashed in front of him, a silver light flashed out from the darkness, and the two lights were entangled in the moonlight, tossing and turning, and for a while Jin Ge was agitated, and the two were entangled together, and the martial arts were indistinguishable, and it was difficult to give up for a while.
Kou Shu stood aside, only to feel that the pores all over her body were standing up, and the cold air was pressing, which made her feel a little nervous. Looking at the scene in front of her, Kou Shu almost held her breath.
The two clashed again, Yuan Ming's figure stagnated slightly for some reason, and the person on the other side had already seized the gap, and the peak pointed directly at Yuan Ming. Just as he was about to wipe Dao Yuan Ming, Yuan Ming suddenly spoke: "Kou Mang? β
When the man heard this, he suddenly retracted his sword and put the blade back, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone: "Who are you?" β
Yuan Ming turned his head and said, "I am a person from Koumang. β
There was a hint of suspicion in the eyes of the person on the other side, and he didn't seem to believe it.
Kou Shu frowned and said, "If you are from Kou Mang, you should know me." β
When the man heard this, he turned around and looked at Kou Shu: "Are you ......" There was a hint of hesitation in his voice, "Miss Kou?" β
Kou Shu nodded: "I am Kou Shu, the eldest lady of the Kou family, and Kou Yunwu is my father." β
"Miss-" The man ripped off the black cloth covering his mouth, and said with unprecedented excitement in his tone, "Miss, I finally found you." β
Kou Shu frowned, three years ago, the eldest lady of the Kou family entered the palace as the queen's mother, everyone in the streets and alleys knew about it, why did this person say that he didn't know his whereabouts at all. Kou Shu squinted her eyes and asked, "Are you from Kou Mang?" β
The man was stunned, and then reached out and ripped off the clothes on his left shoulder, revealing the unique tattoo totem of the Kou family.
Seeing this, Kou Shu's eyes froze slightly, and as soon as she raised her chin, she motioned for Yuan Ming to step forward and investigate.
Yuan Ming stepped forward in response, looked carefully at the person's left shoulder for a long time, and then took out the flint in his arms and lit it and approached the unique "Kou" character totem, and after a long time, he turned his head and said: "Niangniang, it is indeed the mark of the person in Koumang, and the words on it are also carved by the general himself." It should be that the people in Kou Mang are unmistakable. β
"Mother?" The tone of the person opposite was full of surprise, and said, "Did Miss Kou enter the palace and become a mother?" β
"What? You don't know? Kou Shu asked rhetorically: "I have already entered the palace as the queen of Daxuan three years ago. β
The man shook his head and suddenly realized: "No wonder no matter how much I inquire, I couldn't find the whereabouts of the eldest lady of the Kou family, it turned out that she actually entered the palace." β
Hearing this, Kou Shu became even more curious about this person, stepped forward, and asked carefully.
