Huisheng pawn, inside the inner courtyard house.

Ye Tianhuai and Tao Yuan sat on both sides of a tea table, on which were two cups of freshly brewed hot tea, both of which were excellent teas, but no one had the leisure to taste them carefully at the moment.

"When will Gu Haiwang be able to arrive in Beijing?" Ye Qianhuai asked.

"He was injured and could not ride a horse, so he could only ride in a carriage, and it is estimated that it will take about 20 days, and he will be able to arrive in Beijing around the first day of the next month." Tao Yuan replied.

"Where is his injury?"

"Beidi broke the kneecaps of both of his legs to prevent him from escaping." Seeing Ye Tianhuai's surprised gaze, Tao Yuan added, "Our people carried him out of the enemy camp. ”

Thinking of the battle report sent back by He Qingchang from the front line, saying how dangerous it was for Lu Yanchen to take people to the enemy camp to save people, Ye Tianhuai couldn't help asking, "Are your people okay?" ”

Tao Yuan seemed a little surprised that Ye Qianhuai would ask this first, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and said, "My people are all following Lu Yanchen, and that team of people is fine." ”

This time it was Ye Tianhuai's turn to be surprised: "I read that the report said that their team only had ten people, but they were facing an enemy army of several thousand people. Can he retreat with Gu Haiwang with his whole body? ”

A contemptuous sneer flashed at the corner of Tao Yuan's mouth, and he said, "The rear army is full of veterans who transport grain, or tents and men. No matter how many of these people are, how can they stop Lu Yanchen? ”

Ye Qian suddenly remembered the scene in his previous life, when Lu Yanchen carried Chen Yuansi's head in one hand and a long sword in the other, pushing open the gate of the Taihe Palace.

That's Lu Yanchen on the battlefield.

Previously, she was also worried that Beidi was menacing this time, there was a plague on the front line, and the vitality of the Dajing army was greatly damaged, and Lu Yanchen would not leave his life there with the army on the northern expedition.

That's why he was asked to promise himself that he must save his life and come back well.

Now it seems that at least half of her worries are unnecessary.

It's hard to say whether you will come back or not, but it shouldn't be a big problem to be alive.

Anyway, Ye Tianhuai's heart finally let go of a little.

"You are looking for He Qingchang to ask for someone, has he embarrassed you?" Ye Qianhuai asked.

Tao Yuan's face changed for a moment, and he replied, "After the Eagle Guard rescued Gu Haiwang from the enemy camp, he didn't hand it over to He Qingchang. He paused for a moment, then added, "Actually...... After the Eagle Guard rescued the people, he went directly to Beijing on the road, and even His Majesty's handwritten message was handed over to He Qingchang by Lu Yanchen. ”

Ye Qianhuai was stunned for a moment.

This was somewhat unexpected.

Gu Shihai would never sit idly by and watch his son being captured by the enemy, this time He Qingchang led the army to the expedition, but he was afraid that he not only received Ye Tianhuai's secret order, but also received Gu Shihai's secret order.

Ye Qianhuai also thought of this, so she gave the eagle guard a secret decree covered with a jade seal.

Although He Qingchang is Gu Shihai's descendant, Ye Tianhuai feels that he is not yet able to resist the will and disrespect in the open.

"Why was it handed over by Lu Yanchen?" Ye Qianhuai asked.

Tao Yuan didn't answer her, but took out a report and handed it to Ye Qianhuai.

It was a report sent back to Tao Yuan by the front-line Eagle Guard, which described in detail the whole process of Eagle Guard rescuing Gu Haiwang.

Ye Tianhuai looked at it carefully, and then was surprised to find that Eagle Guard had an experience that she didn't expect.

After rescuing Gu Haiwang and crossing the Baishui River on a bamboo raft, they were ambushed as soon as they landed on the south bank.

The people in ambush were dressed in black and masked, they couldn't tell the way they came, they didn't kill people, and the target was only Gu Haiwang.

However, the strength of Lu Yanchen and the two eagle guards mixed in his team was obviously far beyond the expectations of the ambushers, and the person who kidnapped Gu Haiwang kicked the iron plate.

In the end, their ambush ended in failure, leaving several lives behind.

According to Eagle Guard's account, these people are very clean, there is nothing that can detect their identity, and even their kung fu path is a mixture, and they can't see the source.

Lu Yanchen's plan to rescue Gu Haiwang this time was very secretive, and only He Qingchang knew his overall plan in the entire Jing army.

After solving the enemy, Lu Yanchen thought of He Qingchang at the first time.

At this time, the eagle guard in the team also revealed his identity to him, and took out a secret decree saying that he would take Gu Haiwang back to Beijing.

Lu Yanchen asked them to immediately take Gu Haiwang on the road, and he took the secret decree to He Qingchang to give an errand.

Ye Tianhuai slowly put down the paper report and fell into deep thought.

He Qingchang's move must have been instructed by Gu Shihai. It seems that Gu Shihai doesn't care as much about this son as he appears. He also knew that if Gu Haiwang was escorted back to Beijing by the emperor's people, he would be directly imprisoned, and it would be difficult for him to see Gu Haiwang again.

It's just that Gu Haiwang was defeated and captured in this battle, no matter what, his military career has come to an end, even if Gu Shihai can save him for a while, he can't save him for a lifetime. Did he go to such great lengths to kidnap people under the emperor's nose just to see him?

"Eagle Guard's journey back to Beijing is estimated to be not easy." Ye said.

Tao Yuan's expression sank, and he didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescing to Ye Qianhuai's statement.

"Tao Yuan, does Eagle Guard have a place in Beijing where he can imprison people? Be foolproof. Ye Qianhuai asked.

Tao Yuan raised his head and looked at Shang Ye, and immediately understood what she meant.

His expression was shocked, and he was puzzled: "There are places for ordinary prisoners. However, with Gu Ge Lao's power in Beijing, coupled with the power of Gyeonggi Wei, his subordinates did not dare to say that it was foolproof. ”

Ye Tianhuai was silent.

Yes, the entire Jingzhong garrison is Gu Haiwang's people, that is, the Eagle Guard has the ability to reach the sky, and the Jinggi Guard always has an excuse to search and arrest the whole city. At that time, even if you can keep people, I'm afraid that the existence of the Eagle Guard will be exposed.

It seems that even if Eagle Guard can successfully bring people back to Beijing, it will be a problem to hold people firmly in their own hands.

Rujing, in Shengjing, where Gu Shihai can't reach out, I'm afraid there is only the palace.

However, the Prudential Department and the Forbidden Army Yafu in the palace only managed the ministers and concubines, and never managed the affairs of the previous dynasty. The detention of the general of Yipin in the palace is unprecedented.

I'm afraid that I have to deal with a large group of courtiers who have complained in tears.

Just thinking of such a picture, she felt a headache.

Ye Qianhuai sighed heavily.

"Tao Yuan, you take a few people out of Beijing to pick up Gu Haiwang, I'm worried that when they get to the vicinity of the capital, they will be intercepted." Ye Qianhuai commanded.

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded."

Tao Yuan responded, was silent for a while, and asked hesitantly: "My subordinates have a question, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

"Just say it." Ye said.

"Why does Your Majesty suspect that Lu Yanchen has different intentions? If His Majesty can tell one or two, his subordinates will be able to stare at him. Tao Yuan asked.

He looked directly at Ye Qianhuai, with a little puzzlement and a trace of resentment in his eyes.

This is a question he has wanted to ask for a long time.
