Chapter Eighty-Four: Thunder
When he woke up again, it was in the carriage, Gu Huai opened his eyes slightly, and what he saw was Ma Sanbao's white and beardless face.
This relieved him, closed his eyes and rested for a moment, making sure he wasn't dreaming, before he felt his body again.
The pain has been reduced a lot, and the left hand, which was already unable to exert strength, can now feel it, and it should have straightened the bone; The right hand should have been dressed with a bandage, and it was bulging; There is still a bitter taste in the mouth, so it must have been drugged.
Gu Huai opened his eyes: "How did you find me?" ”
"You are lucky, the one passing by is a dart shop, and it is somewhat moral, they didn't dare to send you to the Yanwang Mansion, so they handed you over to the left guards guarding the city at the city gate."
Ma Sanbao frowned: "How could you be so seriously injured?" ”
"Who kidnapped you?"
"How did you escape?"
"Don't worry, ask one by one," Gu Huai sat up weakly, his voice seemed to be stuck in something, and his voice was hoarse: "First send someone to the place where the dart shop found me, there is a bamboo forest on the mountain, there is a bamboo house in the bamboo forest, those corpses... May still be useful. ”
Ma Sanbao nodded: "Someone has already been sent." ”
It's always so comfortable to talk to smart people... Gu Huai breathed a sigh of relief: "It's Jinyiwei." ”
Obviously, this word also made Ma Sanbao think of something quickly, his eyebrows were raised high, and then he slowly lowered it, and was silent for a moment: "So that's the case." ”
"Can someone send me a letter first? Xiaohuan must be worried. ”
"Don't worry, the news has been sent back to the palace, and your maid is also in the palace," Ma Sanbao thought about it, squeezed out a blunt smile, and didn't know if he wanted to comfort Gu Huai: "Your maid was so anxious that she jumped straight up, and when she felt that something was wrong, she directly found the secret spy of the palace, and then ran to the palace, crying and kowtowing to beg the palace to save you... The prince saw her, but it was probably not easy to have a bad night. ”
Gu Huai hooked the corners of his mouth with difficulty, and a warmth rose in his heart... The so-called home is like this, if someone is so worried about you, there is a place to go back, and he can be regarded as taking root in this world.
"It's causing trouble for the palace again..."
"Trouble?" The smile on Ma Sanbao's face slowly retracted, a little serious, "This time the matter is a bit big." ”
"How?"
"The prince thought it was done by Zhang Hao, the guards and horses in the middle have entered the city, the city defense has also been taken over, and the two guards and horses of the court outside the city have moved, and there is news... Kaiping's garrison troops were also transferred. ”
So much that happened in just one night?
Gu Huai's eyes were a little straight: "Lord Wang..."
"The prince values you very much, and even does not hesitate to tear his face with Zhang Yu," Ma Sanbao said succinctly, "If you haven't shown up yet, Beiping may fight." ”
"Pull a hair and move the whole body..."
"That's the reason, you also know the current situation in Yanwangfu, as long as there is a little spark, things will be difficult to control," Ma Sanbao shook his head, "I just didn't expect it to be you." ”
The atmosphere was a little stagnant, and Gu Huai felt a little strange in his heart, not because he was a little moved by Zhu Di's operation... Or is it because he is aware of Zhu Di's current uneasiness.
Only when you are uneasy will you try to show your strength, and you will go crazy when you flirt.
It seems that Zhu Di is not as old as he sees...
"Jinyiwei is the eyeliner of the imperial court, all over the world, and the prince has long guessed that they have entered Beiping, but Jinyiwei has always been meticulous and strict in his work... How did you escape? ”
Gu Huai closed his eyes and slowly talked about last night's events.
There was some shock in Ma Sanbao's eyes, and Gu Huai's voice was still so weak and calm, just talking about those tragic battles and calculations... It made him smell some blood.
After Gu Huai finished the last sentence and gasped slightly, he nodded and looked out of the car curtain:
"I know, I'll tell the prince... By the way, have you ever thought about learning martial arts? ”
Gu Huai raised his head.
"Martial arts are killing techniques... There's nothing to say about this, no matter what kind of move and routine, it's just to kill people in the end. ”
He smiled, "I think you're good at killing... Even if you pass the best age for martial arts training, it shouldn't be too bad. ”
"How?"
......
"Is it really the Jinyi Guard?"
"The secret spy has returned, and the scene is consistent with Gu Gongzi's statement," Ma Sanbao bowed slightly, "Jin Yiwei does not have a famous spy on him... But I found the official seal, and it was a hundred households. ”
"Four brocade guards, and women and children?"
"Yes."
Zhu Di stood up and walked to the window, unable to see what he was thinking.
"When was the first time you killed someone?"
Ma Sanbao paused, and then bowed lower: "At the age of fourteen, I was transferred from the rear army to the front army and entered the pioneer camp. ”
"Then I was a little earlier than you, and I went to the battlefield at the age of eight," Zhu Di stood with his hands in his hands, "I was still a half-old child, and I hacked a Mengyuan man to death with a knife." ”
"The prince is wise and martial..."
"Don't shoot sycophants," Zhu Di smiled, "Every day I follow the big-headed soldiers who don't know a single big word, you cut a few every day when you chat and brag, I killed a few, and I slept and dreamed of cutting people in the middle of the night, and it's not strange to kill people early." ”
He slowly retracted his smile: "But we are all soldiers, and it's normal to kill people... It's not normal for a reader to kill someone. ”
That's a good point... Today's scholars don't even have to kill chickens, let alone carry knives to find someone desperately?
"Scholars are not terrible, because reading sensible things will eventually have pedantic, only a few readers will understand the way of governing the world for people," there was a muffled thunder outside the window, and Zhu Di's beard swayed slightly in the spring breeze, "Among the readers who are not nerds, only a small part will stand out, whether it is government affairs or conspiracy calculations, it seems that there is nothing they don't know." ”
"But there are only a very few scholars, there will be a ruthlessness in their bones, they are polite and honest on weekdays, and they can do it when they initiate ruthless murder or troubled times, and they will be more ruthless than those of us who are used to killing people, there are a lot of such scholars under my father, but I never thought of it... There can be two in the palace. ”
He couldn't laugh or cry: "Is it destined by God?" ”
The superior took advantage of the spring rain and spring breeze to say something introspective, and he must not intervene at this time, Ma Sanbao stood quietly aside, silently listening to the muffled thunder and Zhu Di's self-talk.
"The secret spy of the palace is too angry, you have to be careful," After a moment of silence, Zhu Di did not look back, but Ma Sanbao knew that he was saying this to himself, "I know that Jinyiwei entered Beiping, but I don't know how many Jinyiwei have come to Beiping... This is a dereliction of duty on the part of the secret spy, and I don't want them to find out the situation in Jinling, but the one-third of an acre of land in Beiping can't be too cold. ”
Ma Sanbao was shocked in his heart, lifted his placket and knelt down: "The slave knows his mistake." ”
"There's nothing wrong or wrong, after all, you're not good at it," Zhu Di shook his head, "You're more suitable for leading troops... Being a eunuch has wronged you. ”
"The minions are terrified."
"I transferred the officials of Beiping, and I endured it; changed the Beiping garrison, and I endured it; I was dreaming about my throne, and I endured it; Send some brocade secret spies over, staring at my every move every day, and I can endure it..."Zhu Di sneered, "Now you dare to grab the people of the palace, dig the roots of the palace, and slap me Zhu Di's face, is it because I really have no temper at all?" ”
He waved his sleeves and turned around, and the thunder shone on his majestic face: "Gu Huai is awake, let him come to see me!" ”
"Ge Cheng has returned to Beiping, the imperial court has already made a move, I want to see what these two scholars can teach me!"
