Chapter 135: The Burial of the Storm (4)
As the commander of the cavalry battalion in the palace, Guo Wu can be regarded as an important general in charge of the cardinal in the palace. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But it's clear that his actual work is nowhere near as imposing as his title.
Guo Wu's main task now is to follow the emperor step by step, and then - in a daze, yes, in a daze. For example, now, the emperor has just come out of the Li Palace, how he hopes that an assassin can pop up and let him show his skills well, just like the other day in the imperial study with a sword to cut dozens of knives. However, God did not fulfill people's wishes, and this kind of rebellious idea never came true.
Guo Wu also knew a little reason, outside the palace city, in the past few days, the procuratorate has been scouting everywhere, killing all kinds of dark forces in the imperial capital. And in the palace, after his father's personal guard served as a palace guard, he also killed people in the inner court. So not to mention the assassins, even the ants in the Imperial Garden are now walking carefully.
Guo Wu was bored and bored, but he still loyally guarded His Majesty the Emperor. After coming out of the Li Palace today, the emperor didn't seem to be very happy, but he couldn't say how angry he was, anyway, he gave him a strange feeling, as if he was enlightened, but also seemed to be confused. Could it be the reason for the pillar of light that rose into the air in the Li Palace? Guo Wu couldn't guess either.
"Guo Wu, do you still feel comfortable after being on an errand in the palace for a few days?" Emperor Guangming sat on the soft sedan chair and suddenly asked with a smile at Guo Wu.
"It's natural to be on an errand for Your Majesty, but—" Guo Wu hesitated.
"But nothing, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"But it's not fun. Guo Wu sneered.
"Oh?" the emperor glanced at Guo Wu, but did not mean to blame, but asked with interest, "What kind of boring method?"
"Maybe I've been staying by His Majesty's side, contaminated with the domineering spirit of those emperors, and when those palace maids and guards saw me, they either hid like mice and cats, or crawled over to slap me. I don't even have someone who can talk to me normally. Your Majesty, do you say that these days are boring?"
The Bright Emperor laughed: "General Xiao Guo, some people are afraid of you, isn't it good to slap you? The Bright Emperor deliberately quipped.
"Hehe, Your Majesty is wise. However, the greatest advantage of this person is that I have self-knowledge, and those people are afraid of me, and it is all thanks to Your Majesty. The last generals are always on errands by His Majesty's side, and they are all envious and jealous, and these fellows either want me to say a few kind words to His Majesty, or they are afraid that I will have nothing to do and speak ill of them. How do they know that I have always had one thing to say and two to say, and I really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! Your Majesty, do you say that you are boring or not?"
Emperor Guangming laughed again, suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Since General Xiao Guo feels that the palace is boring, why don't you send you to the Central Army and work as an errand under General Guo?"
"Don't, Your Majesty!" Guo Wu shouted without thinking about it, "When you go to the old General Guo's errand service, where can you catch up with the bright future by Your Majesty's side." I can only be in a high position by His Majesty's side, and when I get to General Guo's side, I can only speak lightly. ”
"This is not your sincere words, how can there be a son who does not like to be an errand under his father?" said the Bright Emperor as if he did not believe it.
"I don't dare to lie to Your Majesty, I have been in conflict with General Guo for a long time, if I go to him, I will definitely serve in military law every day, and in less than three days, I will have to lie down and come to see Your Majesty. ”
"Oh, what kind of contradiction can there be between your father and son? And Lao Guo has strict military law, and he will never make things difficult for personal gain, right?" asked the Bright Emperor with great interest.
Guo Wu's face darkened: "It's because he doesn't follow his own path, so I can't stand up to him." Ten years ago, my mother was shot by orcs in the city, I asked her to avenge my mother, but he turned a deaf ear, I hate him!"
The Bright Emperor couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, the past was still in front of him, and he couldn't help but shake his thoughts just now. Emperor Guangming was silent for a long time before he said solemnly: "Guo Wu, you shouldn't hate your father, there is someone else who killed your mother." That man not only killed your mother, but also deceived the king, killing hundreds of thousands of loyal and brave men in the empire. ”
"Your Majesty, who is that man? I beg your Majesty to give me a chance, and I will surely capture this thief for Your Majesty and slash the enemy. ”
"Don't worry, there will be a chance. The Bright Emperor smiled faintly.
"Then the general will thank Your Majesty in advance, and I am willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty, and I will not give up. Guo Wu looked serious, as if he would rush out at any time to be loyal to the country and the emperor.
The emperor looked at Guo Wu's serious appearance, and laughed again, to be honest, he liked this kid from Guo Zizhong's family a little.
Seeing the Emperor of Light's expression finally relaxed, Guo Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know if the Bright Emperor's words just now were intentionally tempting, but whether it was intentional or not, he had to deal with it carefully. Guo Wu knew that the reason why he was left in the palace was because the emperor needed him as a hostage, otherwise he would not have been allowed to have the title of commander of the cavalry battalion, but he was pressed by the emperor as a personal guard all day long. This is also an important condition for the emperor to be able to let his father command the 500,000 Central Army with peace of mind. Fortunately, it seems that he has dealt with it properly, otherwise he is afraid that it will attract greater suspicion from the emperor. Guo Wu sighed: My father is dedicated to the country, I really don't know why this emperor is always suspicious of his father, why bother?
......
Although the emperor said that he was resting, he did not drive the harem, but went directly to the imperial study, at this time, the sky was just dawning, and the palace lamp was still lit in the imperial study, which seemed a little obscure. The Bright Emperor sat down in the Dark Dragon Chair with the support of his chamberlain, his entire body was wrapped in thick fur, and after feeling a little warmth, he finally let out a long breath and waved his hand tiredly. The chamberlain bowed down and respectfully withdrew.
Guo Wu, as a guard, could only stand by the door of the imperial study, uh, continue to be in a daze. It wasn't until the chamberlain withdrew from the imperial study that Guo Wu turned his head to take a look, but at this glance, he froze, and his heart, which was already extremely boring, was beating uncontrollably, no, it was beating wildly...... Plop plop plop plop ...... Plop puff puff ..... Faster and faster.
How could it be her? How could it be her? As the door of the imperial study closed, Guo Wu had to forcibly twist his head right, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, but if he paid a little attention, he could still find that there was still a trace of excitement on his face.
