Chapter 59: Don't startle the snake
"I see." Everyone suddenly came to their senses, and then said, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been cured of his illness, when shall we do it?"
"Don't worry, I've already asked someone to inform the general, as soon as our people arrive, we will attack the capital immediately." Another guard said, "As long as we take down the things in the palace, sooner or later the rivers and mountains of this Great Yuan Kingdom will be ours."
"I hope so!"
When Gu Tingyu was passing by a stream, he suddenly smelled a strange smell.
He paused in his footsteps, then looked around and saw nothing out of the ordinary.
"You wait here." After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the stream, and sure enough, he saw a red and bright flower at the water's edge.
Gu Tingyu squatted there and picked a safflower, then cleaned it up, and then threw the safflower into his arms.
A dark glint flashed in Gu Tingyu's eyes, and then he stood up.
"I'll go back first, you stay here and wait for General Chen and them to come."
"Yes."
Gu Tingyu left from here, and then walked briskly towards his camp.
When he returned to the camp, he saw Gu Tingyu sitting on a chair, Gu Tingyu glanced at the man indifferently and said, "You're back!"
"Hmm." Gu Tingyu replied lightly.
Gu Tingyu looked at Gu Tingyu and asked, "How is it, have you found out?"
"No, I searched the entire mountain but didn't find what the prince was looking for." Gu Tingyu shook his head and said, "Maybe that medicinal herb was picked by someone else."
"Then forget it." Gu Tingyu said.
"Hmm."
Gu Tingyu nodded, and then turned to leave, after he left, the corners of Gu Tingyu's mouth showed a sarcastic smile, he wanted to see what those people wanted to do?
As soon as Gu Tingyu walked out of the room, he saw his guards hurrying over.
"Lord Wang, someone came over there to report just now, and something seems to have happened over there."
Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let's go, go and have a look."
After the guard heard his lord's words, he hurriedly took Gu Tingyu to that place.
"Lord Wang." The guard said, pointing to a group of soldiers in front of him.
Gu Tingyu looked at the scene in front of him, then frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"The subordinates don't know either, but the subordinates know one of them, and it seems to be General Lee's younger brother." The guard said.
Gu Tingyu looked at it, it was indeed General Li's younger brother Li Hu, and couldn't help but hook his lips and smile: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look."
Li Hu was kneeling on the ground at this time, crying and saying with a sad face: "Lord Wang, you spare me, please, you bypass me this time, I promise that I will never dare to do it again, woo."
"Do you know what's wrong?" Gu Tingyu looked at him coldly and said, "Do you know what crime you committed this time?"
Li Hu trembled when he heard this: "Lord Wang, please spare your life, Lord Wang, the little one will never dare anymore, the little one swears here, he will never dare again in the future, please forgive me."
"Hehe...... Gu Tingyu sneered, and then said, "General Li, do you remember how you treated those innocent people five years ago?"
"Five years ago," Li Hu suddenly looked at Gu Tingyu with wide eyes after hearing this, and said, "You ......."
"How do I know? I just happened to see it." Gu Tingyu said lightly: "Those innocent people died in your hands."
"No, I didn't kill the people." Li Hu shouted in horror.
"Really? You say that there is no killing without killing, is it that you saw it with your own eyes? What do you think would happen to me if I told those people?" Gu Tingyu squinted his eyes slightly and stared at Li Hu and said, "I advise you to be honest, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
"I said, I said, but Lord Wang, don't hurt my sister, she is my only relative."
"Heh, it depends on your performance, if you perform well, I may consider not moving your sister." Gu Tingyu said casually.
Hearing Gu Tingyu say this, Li Hu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "My sister is innocent, please raise your noble hand and let my sister go."
Gu Tingyu glanced at Li Hu lightly and said, "Then tell me everything you know, if I find out that you lied to me, then your sister will definitely die!"
Hearing Gu Tingyu's threatening words, Li Hu gritted his teeth, and then was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Yes, I said, I said."
"We came here on the orders of the emperor to find such things, as for what is in that place, none of us know, we just need to act according to the emperor's orders."
"Your Majesty?" Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Hu, and then said with a smile: "Li Hu, Li Hu, you are really bold enough!"
When Li Hu heard this, he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Gu Tingyu snorted coldly, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down, remember, that woman of yours, don't forget to get it for this king."
Li Hu felt a little resentful in his heart when he heard Gu Tingyu say this, but when he heard Gu Tingyu say that the woman was his woman, he couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart.
Gu Tingyu looked at Li Hu's back and said, "This king can give you a chance to live, if you can catch what this king wants, this king will let you go, but if you can't catch it, then you should know what will happen to your sister!"
After Li Hu heard Gu Tingyu's words, he suddenly looked up at Gu Tingyu, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Wang, since you already know about this matter, don't force me, it won't do you any good to us."
"Huh." Gu Tingyu sneered: "Li Hu, this king will say it one last time, this matter is in the king's hands, if you don't obey, don't blame this king for turning his face and not recognizing people."
After Li Hu heard this, his eyes widened instantly, he didn't expect that he was actually threatened by Gu Tingyu so nakedly, although he was very dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"." Gu Tingyu waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.
"That subordinate went first." Li Hu said respectfully.
"Wait." Gu Tingyu stopped Li Hu and said, "If you do this well, this king will give you the first credit."
"Thank you, Lord." Li Hu said excitedly.
Gu Tingyu waved his hand and motioned for him to retreat.
After Li Hu left, Gu Tingyu said, "You say, will he really send us what we want?"
"Master, my subordinates think that this Li Hu will definitely send you something."
Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Oh? Is that so? Then we'll see."
"Yes, master."
The next day, Gu Tingyu went to check outside the city, but found nothing, and the grassland was overgrown with weeds, and there was no trace of anything.
Gu Tingyu faintly felt that there was something strange about this matter in his heart, but there was no evidence.
"Lord Wang, are we going to continue our search?" The guard who followed Gu Tingyu asked.
"No, I don't." Gu Tingyu looked at the green mountains and green waters in the distance and said, "Let's go over there and have a look."
Gu Tingyu left here with the guards, and they walked towards the green mountains and green waters.
After walking for three days, they finally noticed something unusual.
"Lord, there are blood stains over there, and there are footprints." The guard suddenly pointed to a place and said, "Lord Wang, look at that footprint, that's a man's footprint, I guess that person is Li Hu."
Gu Tingyu nodded when he heard this, and then said, "There are footprints over there, then we will follow this road."
Gu Tingyu said to the guards next to him, "Send a few people to follow Li Hu, this king always feels that this matter is not so simple."
"Yes, my subordinates will immediately send someone to investigate." The guard finished speaking
It just disappeared in place.
After Li Hu left the army, he headed towards the Zhennan Palace, and on the way he was still wondering, obviously what Gu Tingyu said was similar to what his brother-in-law said, but why did they say the opposite?
The more Li Hu thought about it, the more strange he felt, but he didn't figure out what was wrong.
Li Hu didn't notice that just after he left, a person quietly followed him into the city.
The next day, after Gu Tingyu had eaten and drunk enough, he took those people to continue to look for treasures.
At the same time, Gu Tingyu's personal bodyguard ZY was also following Li Hu at this time, and after Li Hu left, he quickly returned to Gu Tingyu's side and said, "Lord Wang, then Li Hu really has a problem, he sneaked out of the city last night, and then walked out of the city, not only that, but he also rode to the foot of the mountain."
"Well, you continue to monitor him, and send someone to find out the news of that woman, and if there is any news of that woman, report it in time." Gu Tingyu narrowed his eyes and said, "Remember, this king doesn't want to hear the news of that woman's escape again, otherwise, our cooperative relationship will be over."
"The subordinates understand, please rest assured, the subordinates will never make any more mistakes." Zy said solemnly.
"Hmm." Gu Tingyu said, "You have done this beautifully, and this king will reward you heavily."
Hearing this, ZY immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang, for the reward."
Gu Tingyu looked at ZY and said, "Get up, this king is going to rest, you go down."
ZY left respectfully, and not long after ZY left, Gu Tingyu's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Li Hu is an idiot, is it really that he Gu Tingyu doesn't know anything?
Li Hu is simply a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if he really wants to tell his secret to himself, how can he just say a few words and leave?
"Someone, send an order, send someone to check on this Li Hu, and the woman next to him, if there is any news, try to help Li Hu keep it secret, so that he will work harder to do this." Gu Tingyu said to the secret guard beside him, "Remember, don't startle the snake."
