Chapter 100: Heading South
After the excerpt of the Yanwang Mansion was handed over, Zhu Di had been preparing to go south, so when he received the holy decree from the imperial court, Zhu Di quickly made a decision and left on the same day.
After arranging things, Gu Huai, who coaxed Tsundere Lori back, also went out quickly after receiving the news from the palace, looked at the signboard of Liuzuifang for a while, and nodded to Xiaohuan, who forced a smile on parting sorrow under the eaves, and then turned the horse along the long street.
All the way through the streets and alleys, soon arrived at the city gate, at this time there were already soldiers lined up in a neat phalanx gathered here, it should be the escort who went south with Zhu Di, Gu Huai also saw some officials get down from the sedan chair, chatting and walking to the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city gate, it seems that the officials in Beiping have also got the news and are ready to send Zhu Di.
In fact, as a guest of the palace, Gu Huai should go to the palace to join Zhu Di's guard of honor of the vassal king, but Zhu Di wants to take the vassal king's guards, and he also has to take a few people south, and the identities of these people are not good to appear on the surface, so he came to the city gate first.
When he arrived at the agreed place outside the city gate, sure enough, there were already a few horses waiting here, and Gu Huai swept it roughly, they were all the spies with the best performance in the palace's secret spy department during this time.
It's just that there is a huge figure that seems a little out of place.
Gu Huai stepped forward and frowned: "Wei Laosan? ”
"Lord Chief, it's me," the fierce-looking and huge-sized man smiled with a very unsuitable temperament, "I'm here too." ”
Gu Huai glanced at the vernal equinox next to him: "Who asked you to come?" ”
The spring branch didn't dare to speak, but Qingming on the side came up: "Lord Chief, you are now the chief officer of the Secret Spy Division, and you can't do it without a guard by your side, we discussed it for a while, and I think Wei Laosan will be your guard..."
Gu Huai smiled: "Discussed together?" ”
"It was indeed brought up by a subordinate..."
"Ridiculous," Gu Huai retracted his gaze, "This time I took you south, I want to set up an intelligence station, there are orders to carry out orders, don't make your own decisions if you don't have orders!" Instead of thinking about how to please me, you should think about how to survive in Jinling, which is full of brocade guards! ”
In fact, I really forgot about this matter... Jinling is too dangerous, it is still necessary to bring two people with him, Wei Laosan, a man who looks like an iron tower, can indeed bring it, but the training still has to be trained, after all, his subordinates are spies, don't think about how to please Shangguan all day long.
Qingming shrunk his neck, and the spring equinox on the side cast a little gloating glance.
Let you pat yourself on the back, now it's okay? Slapped on the horse's leg.
Qingming thought to himself, you know a fart, did the chief official ask Wei Laosan to go back? When it comes to currying favor with Shangguan, you all have to be called Lao Tzu Daddy.
Gu Huai didn't speak, and several spies naturally fell silent, except for the horse under his crotch and raised his front hooves lightly, there was no other sound.
After a long time, the city gate was completely opened, and the first to come out was the honor guard of King Yan, the samurai holding the banner and the golden gourd and golden hammer walked in front, the palace maids who played music followed closely, and then the attendants holding various ritual weapons, the guards got out of the way, and then followed behind, forming a continuous guard of the vassal king.
The vassal king was ordered to leave the domain and enter Beijing to see the driver, the scene was naturally very large, but it could be so big that the guards walked for half an hour and did not completely walk out of the city gate, which also illustrated the status of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, in Daming now, and sure enough, after the honor guard, the officials of the Military and Political Affairs Department of Beiping came to see each other off, and gathered around the frame of the vassal king in the center.
It's only when I get closer that I can see the expressions on the faces of those officials, and the irony is that they are basically smiling and extremely cold, and few people even go up to take this opportunity to talk to Zhu Di, but they are all gathered behind Zhang Hao, the political envoy of Beiping, which makes people wonder who is the main one today.
Out of the city gate, not far is the ten-mile long pavilion, the ancients paid attention to the long pavilion farewell, even if it was to bid farewell to the vassal king, and Zhu Di obviously did not take the shelf, personally got out of the car, drank a glass of water and wine with the officials of Beiping, politely said a few words such as "Adults stay and don't work far away", and then turned around and got into the carriage.
In this way, it seems that the officials in Beiping are very sincere, and King Yan said that they really didn't move, and after a few words of greeting, all the old gods watched Zhu Di get into the car, and left without looking back, as if they would have something to do with King Yan if they stayed for a long time.
The three Zhu Gaochi brothers on the city wall saw this scene and their faces sank almost at the same time.
The eldest Zhu Fat is a gentle temper, even if he responds in his heart, he didn't say it after all, but the second Zhu Gaoxi didn't pay attention to these, and said hatefully: "Blind their dog eyes!" Before the Yanwang Mansion was over, he began to hide? If I had the chance, I'd have to screw their heads off! ”
The third child, Zhu Gaosui, has always been close to the second child, and then nodded and sneered: "I was so stammered before, but now I am so snobbish, I am just a group of villains!" ”
Yao Guangxiao on the side chanted Buddha in a low voice, as if he hadn't heard anything, but Princess Yan shook her head slightly, and stopped the two of them from scolding in a low voice: "The prince has instructed, you should stay in Beiping well, don't make trouble, keep to yourself and wait for him to come back, don't say this kind of thing again." ”
Her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, but she was also a little sad, and she prayed silently: "Bodhisattva bless... I am willing to be a vegetarian for ten years, just in exchange for the prince to come back safely..."
The performance of the officials made everyone on the city wall look different, and also made Gu Huai sigh secretly, seeing that the vassal king's guards had already set off, he took a few spies to rush up.
Ma Sanbao, who was driving the car, had excellent eyesight, and when he saw Gu Huai joining the guard, he beckoned to him, Gu Huai turned the horse to the side of the carriage, and saw a hand pulling the curtain, and Zhu Di, who was pale, sneered: "I seem to have become a plague god now... Hey! Zhang Hao has really washed the officialdom of Beiping all over these days! ”
Gu Huai knew that Zhu Di was extremely depressed at the moment, so he could only open his mouth to comfort: "The world is hot and cold, and people's hearts are cold and warm, why should the prince take these people who tend to be inflammatory?" The prince has always been upright, self-loving, guarding the country, even if he encounters some difficulties now, he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune. ”
Zhu Di, who was feeling aggrieved, heard this, but his heart warmed, he looked back at Beiping, which he had guarded for many years, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated.
Leaving Beiping... Then it's really a gamble with your life, one wrong step, not only will something happen to you, but I'm afraid that the princess and three sons who stayed in Beiping will not end well.
But what can you do if you don't gamble? It seems that he is a beautiful vassal king, but in fact, he has a choice?
He looked at it like this for a long time, until the city gate became a blur, he retracted his gaze, looked in the direction of Jinling, and gradually rose in his heart to give up everything to gamble.
Jianwen, Jianwen... My nephew, you're going to kill me, and now I'm here.
The knife is handed to you, and it depends on whether you dare to cut it!
