Gu Changming didn't touch the dress, but poured the contents of the bag into the palm of his hand and looked at it, and put it back as it was.
Liu Zhuxue changed her clothes and came out, and a small sedan chair in the palace picked people up.
Dai Guozi was uneasy and sent all the way to the gate of the hospital, and his eyes were still reluctant: "Why do you take her away alone first, are you sure that it will be fine?" β
"I'm sure." Gu Changming almost didn't think about it, if he did it in Kaifeng Mansion, it would become a joke. For the emperor, his daughter can change one anytime and anywhere, but the other party was startled, and even exposed his own details. "If you believe me, everyone will be safe before leaving the Great Song border."
"You mean, the person the emperor is taboo is someone in the palace......" Dai Guozi was smart and didn't finish his words, although the Gu family was very safe. A while ago, Situ An also sent more than a dozen people, under the name of protection, to defend them outside. God knows if there will be ears on the wall, "Let's go inside." β
"Before leaving the border of the Great Song Dynasty, the number of people in the family sending team was relatively complete. Once it enters the Liao State, it will be streamlined again. Otherwise, such a huge procession to the Liao country, in case of an ambush, the Liao people will not be able to bear it. Gu Changming analyzed the truth to Guozi.
After streamlining, there will probably only be thirty or forty people left in the team, plus those of the Liao envoys. At that time, the scope of suspicion will be narrowed again, and the best plan is for them to conduct early observations, lock the target in advance, and stop it before they take action.
"You're saying the killer will lurk in the send-off procession?" Dai Guozi also imagined that the killer would strike one night, when the defense was weak.
"What is the emperor's purpose for us to go together?" Gu Changming raised his lips and smiled, "Guozi, learn smarter, learn Liaoguo dialect on the way, and it will be of great use when the time comes." β
"When I saw the man surnamed Su, I thought it was quite hateful. Your smile is the most hateful! Dai Guozi thought that he was used to Gu Changming's strategizing posture, and he almost jumped up on the spot at this time, "I can explain first, if Xiaozhu is in danger, I don't dare to do anything about the third princess and the fifth princess, I must make sure that she is safe first." β
"I agree with this point, and there is nothing wrong with that." Gu Changming's hand shook for a moment, and the sword in his sleeve struck, coldly attacking the faΓ§ade of the fruit.
Dai Guozi was frightened a lot, and his body instinctively reflexed, and he took out the ruler between his eyebrows and blocked it at the vital point. Gu Changming's tricks were useless at all, and he collected the sword in his sleeve with a blow, and Dai Guozi flickered in front of him, seeing that he had put his hands behind his back, and walked in another direction with a leisurely step.
"Try your adaptability, their martial arts have broken through, you can't be at the bottom." Gu Changming said loudly from around the corner.
"Gu Changming, you're too much!" Dai Guozi looked down at the ruler between his eyebrows in his hand, and realized that he had been tricked, and he was so angry that he almost smoked, "I'm not done with you!" β
That night, the little gourd came back without saying a word.
The sky was bright, and Su Xu had already arrived: "Everything is ready, you guys go with me." Turning his head to see the little gourd following at the end, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Didn't you say that there are three people, why do you still have a child!" β
Gu Changming didn't break the identity of the little gourd, and the fewer people who knew about it, the safer it was: "Take it with you, otherwise it's not safe to stay at home." β
Su Xu is well aware of his temperament, and it is difficult to change it once he recognizes it. At the moment, he had to bother to persuade Gu Changming in the shortest possible time, and he asked himself if he had this eloquence: "Take it with you, don't cause trouble." If you get lost, who's responsible? β
"I'm in charge." The little phoenix changed into men's clothes according to the arrangement, her hair was tied up, and a white hosta was supported. At first glance, he looks like a handsome young man, "He belongs to my family, I am responsible for taking him, he will not cause trouble, he will do a lot of things." β
Su Xu shook his hand vigorously: "Okay, okay, the emperor handed over such a big matter to me, and I will hand it over to you again, the more I look at it, the more I feel at ease." I still don't ask you more, otherwise I can't help but send another more suitable person back to the emperor. β
"Today's candidates are also recommended by you, if you return the favor, it won't be a slap in the face." Gu Changming told the housekeeper that he was going out for a while, and if his father came back and only said that he was going to perform an important task, please rest assured.
As soon as he walked forward, several people tacitly followed, but left Su Xu, a big official, in the courtyard, and only after a while did he come back to his senses, he was disgusted.
Dai Guozi was dumbfounded when he looked at the team sending off his relatives, and he was really expected by Gu Changming. It's just to send a princess, and the team can't see that end from one end, to say the least, there are three or five hundred people. With a few of them, there is really no flaw.
"Not all of them traveled far away." Gu Changming continued to lead the team forward, if there were so many really factions, he would be able to eat the treasury of Liao State all the way down. What else does the other party ask for, the fairy girl who scatters wealth is almost the same, and she is about to send it back. "These are all necessary for the guard of honor, and when you leave the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, most of them will stay."
"And what are we?" The little phoenix motioned for the little gourd not to look around in the crowd and get lost.
Xiao Hulu was a little fussed: "There are eunuchs in the team to send relatives, it won't be for you to pretend to be eunuchs......"
Dai Guozi didn't wait for him to finish his frustrating words, and knocked a chestnut on his forehead: "Don't talk nonsense with a face, others treat you as a child, I don't have this mind." β
The little gourd snorted and hid behind the little phoenix: "My current identity is her younger brother and her family. β
"Don't make a fuss." Gu Changming saw that Su Xu had already identified the target and walked straight over, talking to a man who looked like a team leader. The man quickly turned his head to look at the uneven number of people, his eyebrows furrowed.
Just as Gu Changming was thinking about what excuse Su Xu was going to use to stuff people into the family sending team, Su Xu used a unique method to take out a silver ticket and quietly stuff it in the other party's hand. Gu Changming was happy all of a sudden, Su Xu made a good move, and even he didn't guess it accurately.
Su Xu put his fist to his mouth, coughed lightly, and said, "I have already agreed with Master Pei that I will deliver you safely, so why don't you come over and thank Master Pei quickly." β
Except for Gu Changming, the others haven't reacted yet, isn't it that the person appointed by the emperor has to thank others for accompanying him? Where did this Master Pei come from?
Gu Changming stepped forward and saluted as he said, he changed into the most inconspicuous clothes, and covered up his warm temperament, but Master Pei still looked at it a few more times: "Thank you Lord Pei for your help." β
"It's okay, it's okay, Su-sama's old neighbor. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, Lord Su is willing to come out and say a few words for you, which proves that the friendship is very good, and my friendship with Lord Su is also very good, a family. Master Pei casually stuffed the silver ticket into his arms in front of him. The big hand pointed casually, "Have you seen the people in the blue clothes in front of you, when they will leave the city, they will be the last in the line, you just don't fall behind." β
"What about the others?" Gu Changming looked back and forth, and there seemed to be a lot of people left behind the cyan pile.
"They're all here to fill up the numbers, to make a show, and not to worry. When you arrive at the gate of the city, the envoys of the Liao State will follow up, you should be cautious, it is best not to let them see the clues, there is no problem with the rest. Master Pei said it lightly, and he wanted to send Su Xu away again.
Su Xu insisted that he would send it to the gate of the city, and in Fang Cai's words, it was nothing more than to make a show, so that Master Pei would be more convinced.
He was next to Gu Changming's shoulder: "Do you remember who this person is?" β
"I haven't dealt with each other before, and if you send relatives, you must have to have a person with a head and a face, how can you have such a face?" Gu Changming has some understanding of the hundred officials in the court, this Lord Pei is really the first time to meet.
"Pei Yonglun is the nephew of General Yujing." Su Xu's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Changming, "You haven't seen him because he has followed General Yujing to fight at the border pass for several years and has made a lot of achievements." This time he came back to recuperate from his injury, but in fact, the emperor wanted to promote him again. β
Gu Changming knew that although the errand of sending relatives was not a beautiful one, he needed a skilled and courageous leader, and it was best to have nothing to do with the upper and lower officials, inside and outside the palace, so that it would be convenient to act.
This Pei Yonglun is like what Su Xu said, the nephew of General Yujing, and he still has great military achievements on his back. Then if things go well, it is not a problem to be promoted to two levels, and if something really happens along the way, use those combat exploits to offset it, so as not to lose your life.
is still young, and it is not difficult to regain his military exploits. It's just that the face of accepting Su Xu's silver ticket is not very good-looking.
"How much did you give him?" Gu Changming wanted to inquire curiously.
"One hundred taels, said that a few of you want to go to Liao to inquire about relatives who have been separated for many years, and someone brought news that they had seen it over there." Su Xu's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
"So he thinks we are a family, which separated relatives need a large family to go to Liao to find someone?" Gu Changming replied with a smiling look, "You won't say it's our father, right?" β
Su Xu swallowed his saliva in embarrassment, stiffened his neck and said, "You big and small, how can you say it if you don't say that, you can tell my brother to listen to it in a better way." β
"Your method is good, my father has not heard from him for a long time, maybe we really met over there." Gu Changming didn't care, Su Xu came up with this method temporarily, and he also bullied Pei Yonglun for not knowing people. If you change to an old man with deep qualifications in the government and the opposition, you will soon remember his true identity.
"That's also my teacher, if a few of them call Dad, I think it's still cheaper for them." Su Xu finally tugged at Gu Changming's sleeve, "You listen to me, I tested him, he must have never seen you, and he doesn't know you." Then you have to promise me that the third princess must be delivered safely. β
"I do my best." Gu Changming saw that the team of relatives began to move forward slowly, and saluted Su Xu, "Come to the day, when we return, remember to prepare a reception wine." β
Su Xu's nose was sour, and he was almost in tears when he said it, so he waved desperately to let them not delay, and walk to the front of the team quickly, without looking back.
Seeing Su Xu's posture, Pei Yonglun laughed loudly: "Didn't he say that he was going to be sent to the city gate just now, is he worried that he will cry and lose face when he sees you leave?" β
"That's very likely, he loved to cry since he was a child." Since he said that he was an old neighbor, Gu Changming didn't mind talking about the real past, "This problem has not been changed even after becoming a big official." β
