Chapter 320: Waiting
In the early morning, Qixia Mountain was covered with vast fog.
It has passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn scenery of Qixia Mountain is still extremely beautiful, the chill of late autumn has not swept Jinling, Qixia Mountain is like a fairyland in a confused fog, the scenery on the mountain is hidden from time to time, occasionally there is the singing sound of the woodcutter, startling the birds nesting in the mountains and forests.
The sound of feet falling on the dead leaves is very fine, the damp breath in the mountains and forests is blowing in the face, but it will not make people uncomfortable, but some are a little relaxed, the little girl with a bamboo basket is green and paddle, walking in the bamboo forest with light steps, occasionally finding the mushrooms that emerge after the rain, her face flashed with the girl's unique pretty surprise, gently bent down to pick it up, and then showed a beautiful smile to the people behind her.
Whenever she laughed, Gu Huai, who was leisurely following behind, also smiled and responded to her, he tried to restrain himself from looking away, but every time he couldn't help but move his eyes back, falling on the twisting waist, the gently raised hair, and the beautiful feet that fell on the soft fallen leaves.
I've been getting more and more frightened lately... This is the little Lori who wore a pure white cotton jacket and went to the pharmacy to buy medicine in the winter! When did you become such a beast?
This kind of change seems to have started after leaving Jinan City, and I used to treat Xu Miaojin as my sister, but why is it always a thief these days?
It must be that I haven't touched a woman for several years, and the most secret desire in my heart has surfaced... Gu Huai secretly found a reason for himself, and he reluctantly explained the throbbing in his heart.
"Wow, uncle, look, there are so many bamboo shoots here!"
The tip of the bamboo shoots after the autumn rain made Xu Miaojin, who had been accustomed to calling "uncle" since Jinan, happy, and inexplicably took advantage of Xu Zengshou and Zhu Di, and suddenly became the same generation as Zhu Yuanzhang Gu Huai had to move his gaze back, but in the next second, the gaze fell on the buttocks of the little girl who bent over and pulled the bamboo shoots.
Although it is a cloth hairpin skirt, with Xu Miaojin's bending action, the close-fitting long skirt is tight and seductive, and the small buttocks are like freshly ripe green fruits, which makes people want to take a bite, move their eyes up, and then see Xu Miaojin's white and delicate neck, and the long black and smooth hair is scattered down, shaking slightly with the action and the autumn wind...
Gu Huai was stunned, and after a while, he reacted and almost raised his hand to slap himself... It's just a simple action, a quiet mountain scene, how can I not take my eyes off it like this?
"It's time to go to Jinling and take a look at the Qinglou!"
The beast that noticed the bottom of his heart raised his head, Gu Huai exhaled deeply, and walked over with a very kind smile: "You, you can always find fun by yourself, just such a hillside, a small courtyard and a thatched hut, haven't you had enough fun?" The worship is also over, and there is just a batch of spies from the secret spy department who are going north, do you want me to send someone to send you back to Beiping? ”
Xu Miaojin's movements paused, she put the fresh bamboo shoots she broke down into the bamboo basket, gently pushed a strand of hair on her sideburns behind her ears, and looked at Gu Huai deeply: "If I stay with my uncle, will it make my uncle very embarrassed?" ”
Gu Huai couldn't help but be speechless, at the beginning he decided to accompany Xu Miaojin to the south, it was indeed the intention of returning north together under the guise of Jinling, after all, it was a little more relieved to have him personally watching Xu Miaojin, but how could he say that he suddenly moved his mind to send her back first, but because he didn't know why he didn't treat Xu Miaojin as a tsundere Lori anymore, but as a little woman?
Xu Miaojin sighed: "I know that my uncle has a lot of things to do, and he can't stay with me all the time... But I can't go home, and I don't want to stay in Beiping, where I don't know what I can do, I can only stare at the wall in a daze every day, and my sister and brother-in-law are now... I don't want to trouble them, big brother..."
She looked a little sad: "Born in an official family, I can't not understand nothing, although I know that the eldest brother is for this family, but I can't forgive him, only here, can it be regarded as a pure land, only with you, uncle, I won't think about that..."
Those crystal-clear eyes were full of hope, as if begging Gu Huai to let her escape once, Gu Huai sighed and looked at the mountains and forests where the fog gradually dispersed.
Is this really a paradise?
……
"More than half of the seventy-three spies of the secret spy department were arrested or committed suicide, the intelligence personnel of peripheral development were almost swept away, and the intelligence stations covered up with the help of various industries were uprooted, and less than one percent remained..."
Gu Huai looked at the first spy report sorted out by the secret spy department after the Jinyi Guard's sweep, and his face was not disappointed: "Since I went south last year, these few days have probably been the cleanest days in Jinling. ”
Wei Laosan, who had been running around since he arrived at the Yingtianfu realm, drank a sip of well water, and was a little aggrieved: "Someone must have been caught in Jinyiwei and shook something out, otherwise how could Jinyiwei be caught so ruthlessly?" They are not immortals. ”
"The Golden Powder Land of the Six Dynasties, the imperial capital since ancient times, and a fancy world like Jinling will always be charming," Gu Huai smiled and put down the spy report, "Not to mention the torture of Jinyiwei... To be honest, I'm thinking that there is no one in the world who can bear it, and I have been in Jinyiwei's Zhao Prison once before, which is really impressive. ”
"Then my lord, let's just put up with it? When I went to see Qingming and them, they were all very angry, if this revenge is not avenged, how will we send spies to Jinling in the future? ”
"You think it's a battlefield war? If you are slashed by someone, you must cut it back? Gu Huai glanced at him and shook his head slightly, "If you are a spy, you can't be rash, not to mention that someone is more anxious than us now." ”
"Who?"
Gu Huai smiled: "Of course I single-handedly created this situation... Master Pei. ”
……
Jin Yiwei's Zhao Prison, it was really a dark place, after the detention room, the torture room was hung with torture instruments with old black blood stains on the walls, and now there were spies from the secret spy department who were brought out for torture, and in the piercing screams, Pei Xi looked at the confession with only a few names in front of him, and frowned slightly.
It's too far from what I expected... Although the things handed over were enough for His Majesty to be angry, they were still not enough for Pei Xi.
This should be a spy war, Jin Yiwei blatantly moved, the secret spy department fought back on the verge of death, and the spies on both sides should use the market as the battlefield, gambling with their lives and intelligence, you come and go, but the current situation is clearly one-sided.
Jinling is already very clean... The spies lurking in the secret spy division have almost been swept away, even if there are fish that have slipped through the net, they will either go out of the city or lie dormant at this moment, and probably the king of Yan in the north will not receive a little news about Jinling next.
--But that's the end of it, Pei Xi understands the truth of the bird's good bow and hides, Jinyiwei also declined like this at the beginning, Jinling has no spy of King Yan, won't Jinyiwei become the idle yamen again?
Gently picking up another document, Pei Xi's brows loosened a little, to say that there is not much to gain this time, it is not necessarily, the situation in Jinling obviously made His Majesty a little vigilant, and even made a decree to let the Jinyi Guards go out to inspect the front line, of course, the marching and fighting Jinyi Guards cannot interfere, but even the phenomenon of officials being infiltrated by the Yan King does make a layer of estrangement between His Majesty and the hundred officials.
That's good, that's good... Jinyiwei's dark yamen, which was born from the distrust between the emperor and the courtiers, is to regain his brilliance in such a world.
It's just that there are still some regrets after all, the spies of the secret spy department can endure this bad breath, which Pei Xi didn't expect, so look at the people in charge of Jinling in the secret spy department are still at some level, if they are really angry and play spy war with Jinyiwei, then Jinyiwei can take this opportunity to get more things.
He is handsome and incompatible with the bloody torture room, but there is an inexplicable harmony, the slender fingers closed the paperwork, Pei Xi stood up, and the screams behind him just ended here, as if the autumn cicada that had been screaming all summer disappeared from this world unconsciously.
The young Yu Shi Yuxin lowered his head, and his life ended at this moment.
From the beginning of His Majesty's decision to cut the domain, he was a staunch opposition, he believed that His Majesty's violation of the ancestral system was shaking the Ming Dynasty, and a series of things that happened later made him firm in his thoughts, so when someone found him, he agreed to stand up without too much hesitation.
Let those three ministers die, it is indeed one of his wishes.
But it's a pity that His Majesty the wise and martial emperor still failed to see the situation in the world clearly, not only did he not move the three ministers, but even Li Jinglong's life and title did not move, and it was at that moment that the young imperial historian realized that he should do something to save this crumbling empire.
It's just that there is no chance, Jin Yiwei found him, and then there was the familiar torture and Zhu Lian, although he gritted his teeth and did not regret what he did, but the appearance of people among the officials who sympathized with King Yan and did things for King Yan really made His Majesty feel cold.
Yu Xin swallowed his last breath, and there was not a single intact skin on his body.
And Pei Xi, who walked out of the torture room, also has a lot of regrets, regret that people like Yu Xin are just a small chess piece, regret that the secret spy department has not infiltrated those high-ranking officials of the court in the past year, what is the use of catching some petty officials and officials? It's still the scene where hundreds of officials die together that makes people feel happy.
Your Majesty is running out of patience, Jinling... It doesn't seem like there's any need to keep digging.
Pei Xi walked slowly, and his voice was very light: "Order, North Town and South Town, all out of Beijing, starting from Tianfu..."
"Patrol the world."
