Chapter 171: That's my master!
Don't look at this Cui Xianggong's age, but he can be so calm in the face of danger, and he can even analyze these things clearly, which is no longer something that ordinary people can do.
Xu Changan was a little strange why he didn't see that he was so capable when they first met.
That's because after the meeting at the foot of Taiyin Mountain, although Yang Hejiu was not good at leading the team, he was still led by him on the surface, and he didn't encounter any danger after the meeting, so there was no need to show his ability.
Moreover, the aura of Fang Chang and Wu Qitu, the two foreigners, was too powerful, and with these people, Xu Changan naturally didn't notice that there was also Cui Xianggong.
And after crossing the night bridge, the other party chose to turn back calmly and not set foot in that building.
If the other party had followed them up to that building, it is still difficult to say whether his performance would stand out from the crowd.
When this person said that he didn't go upstairs because he was afraid that he would die and affect the situation in the court, Xu Changan still had contempt, who are you? If you die, there will be changes in the court?
But later, Xu Changan guessed that his father should be a big official in the capital, and even thought that he would be able to get close to this person when he went to the capital in the future, and maybe he could be a half-official person, which was quite majestic!
And now there is no need to put on anything close, because he and them are already grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and even in Xu Chang'an's mouth, people who have never even been to the capital actually have a friendship with each other...
It is undeniable that Xu Changan has not even seen what the windows of the Spirit Academy look like, but he can just say such things as Tongqi Lianzhi.
As for who Cui Xianggong's father was, and why he could affect the situation in the court with his safety alone, it was the most curious thing for Xu Changan at that time.
After Cui Xianggong's explanation along the way, Xu Changan suddenly realized that Cui Ren, the only son of the imperial historian, Cui Xianggong.
is this one, his father is really amazing, the existence of the third prince.
But Xu Chang'an's identity through the other party also became clearer that His Majesty the Emperor in the capital was really an existence that covered the sky with one hand, even if he was the only son of the Imperial Doctor, he was still easily arranged by him to go to Wangshu Tower, and there was no room for turn.
As long as it is a famous teacher, no one dares to disobey the order of His Majesty the Emperor, and the other party said that it was a good intention to let your children go through the training, so who would dare to refuse?
Even the Imperial Doctor, who was ranked as the third duke, had nothing to do about this matter, so what could other officials do?
And their team naturally obeyed Cui Xianggong's command.
Sitting in the carriage and escaping backwards, passing by a river, Choi Sang-ming signalled to stop and repair.
At this time, the sky has already brightened, and they don't have to flee for their lives in a hurry, you must know that they are now taking the official road.
The official road means that there will be many cars and horses passing by during the day, whether it is the imperial court or some domestic and foreign businessmen or pedestrians, it is the eyes and ears.
And what the sneak attack has to do is to cover people's eyes and ears, and failing to do this is tantamount to open killing.
Therefore, on the official road, if the other party wants to do it, it can only be selected at night when it is not easy to be noticed.
Several carriages slowly stopped, the casualties can be said to be very heavy, when Xu Changan met this convoy at the foot of Taiyin Mountain, Xu Changan knew that there were more than ten people in this line, but now there are only six of them.
It seems that a few people were killed by those two rounds of random arrows, but in another way, it is a loss of more than half, you must know that whether it is a war or an ordinary group fight, as long as it is a unilateral loss of more than half, it can be regarded as tragic.
Now, even the only ones left are wounded, but they are not fatal, and the only driver who drives the horse is one on the bus of Choi Sang.
Xu Changan came to the river, first washed his face casually, and then took a sip of water in both hands and handed it to his mouth, he was now sticky and uncomfortable, it was the cold sweat that he was afraid of during the escape.
At this moment, Cui Xianggong gave another order, Cui Xianggong looked at the frightened appearance of the remaining few people, looked at the coachman who was standing in front of him in a little panic and asked if he was injured, and said: "Uncle Qi, you take these people and continue to flee back, bypassing Ancheng and going to He'an County, about a hundred miles to the west, to ask the county guard to send troops to escort them back to the capital." ”
The old man's white eyebrows were slightly raised, and he was a little worried: "Young master, where are you going?"
Cui Xianggong raised a hand, motioned not to say anything more, and said, "Seventh Uncle don't worry too much, hurry up and go back quickly." ”
The old man's lips were buzzing and he wanted to say something more, but he didn't open his mouth after all, he knew that these people were just a burden to the young master.
He took a carriage and gathered the others into one, looked back, and then drove away.
Xu Changan was drinking water by the river, and when he was full, he was going to pour some more belts on his body, but when he turned around, he found that a carriage had left, and he stretched out his hand forward, but the other party didn't stop.
On the other hand, Cui Xianggong came to his own carriage and drew his sword to cut off the rope connecting the carriage and horses, and the horse was relieved and neighed more cheerfully.
Cui Xianggong took out a tied hardwood bow from under the carriage, along with a barrel of feather arrows.
Xu Changan looked at Cui Xianggong's movements and said with some puzzlement: "Why don't we follow?"
Cui Xianggong put the sword back into its sheath, pulled the bow hard, and said, "If we follow, they will be in danger." ”
Xu Changan knew that he had slightly embellished this sentence in the other party's mouth, to be precise, Cui Xianggong's words should not be us, if we keep up, they will be in danger.
It should be that if you keep up, they will be in danger, and this you are referring to Xu Changan.
These are two assassinations, one is just to blame, and the goal has been achieved, so he should not shoot again, and the other assassination of Xu Changan only tentatively shot that arrow, so Xu Changan can't follow them.
Xu Changan thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Are you really sure that they won't kill you again?"
Cui Xianggong smiled slightly and said, "No one will kill them again." ”
Looking at the other party's smile, Xu Changan was slightly stunned and asked, "What about you?"
Cui Xianggong put away his smile, his face was solemn, Xu Chang'an's question he couldn't answer, in fact, his guess only came from the identity of those people, he knew that even if those people died, their father in the capital would not pose any threat to His Majesty the Emperor, and the assassin would not choose to waste his efforts.
So if someone really wants to blame His Majesty the Emperor, he must die!
There are not many people in this country who can make great achievements, and there is one in the city in the south, but that person has never returned to the capital all year round, and there is another one in the capital, but that one has been missing for many years.
If you want His Majesty the Emperor to pay any price for this matter, just the Prime Minister's Three Princes are a little worse, because the Prime Minister's son is not on the way, and the Prime Minister, who is out of the way, will not be desperate to question the Emperor by using the topic.
And for this matter, it is impossible for the eldest prince to come forward, he will only stare at this matter to prevent anyone from doing anything from it, and he will definitely not personally accompany the officials to accuse His Majesty the Emperor, because the eldest prince is also on the cusp of this incident.
If there is anyone in this court who wants to blame the emperor for this matter, the eldest prince must be the first object of suspicion.
If he is too anxious, it will show that he has nothing to do with this matter.
One third duke is not enough, but in addition to the position of the eternal vacant Tai Lieutenant in the capital, there is also one, the imperial historian Cui Ren.
Prime Minister, Imperial History, these two people who wear the same pants in the eyes of others, should use this kind of thing together to accuse the emperor. However, the Imperial Doctor, who has felt threatened, will definitely not do it at all costs.
You must know that before he showed any hostility towards the emperor, his son almost died on the way back to the capital, and he was a great official all his life, saying that he was for the country and the people.
To put it mildly, it's just a small family.
On the contrary, when Dr. Yu Shi learned that his son was assassinated, he would begin to restrain a lot, so this time the blame became a little more than worth the loss.
Therefore, only when he dies will the imperial historian no longer have any worries, and when the grief-stricken imperial historian enters the palace with the prime minister to ask for the guilt, it is possible to threaten His Majesty the emperor.
But even Cui Xianggong can think of this, how can those people in the capital not understand?
What if Cui Ren knew about these things?
This is just two assassinations, one of the assassination convoys, one of the assassination of Xu Changan, and the third one who is not ready to assassinate Cui Xianggong, and Cui Xianggong died in the round of arrow rain just now If he is not dead, he should not be deliberately targeted.
Thinking of this, Cui Xianggong shook his head slightly, thinking that it was impossible for someone to kill him, and if he died, he could only die on Wangshu Tower, and then said: "No." ”
Xu Changan was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Cui Xianggong smiled and said, "I am a student of the Spirit Academy, and before I came out, Mr. Ju An asked me to pass on a word, which was the order of the dean. If I die, there will be no one on the spiritual academy to explain. ”
Cui Xianggong's words once again made it clear what kind of existence the Spirit Academy was in the capital, the emperor asked these people to participate in the entrance test, and the emperor must give an explanation when these people died.
And the dean asked Ju An to drag people to pass on a word, and Ju An chose Cui Xianggong. It seems that it is just a passing, and it doesn't involve anything, but if you put it another way, Cui Xianggong will still help the dean this time. Similarly, if Cui Xianggong is dead, who can give an explanation to the Spirit Academy?
Xu Changan was shocked in his heart, and asked with some doubts: "This spiritual academy, is it really so good?"
Cui Xianggong shook his head with a smile and said, "The Spirit Academy is just an academy, but no one dares to think so. ”
Xu Changan suddenly thought of something, and said with some embarrassment: "So Mr. Nine is my teacher, and the dean is my master, if someone kills me, wouldn't it be more troublesome?"
You're just in charge of passing on a word from the dean, and it's equivalent to having a gold medal for avoiding death.
In Xu Changan's opinion, what kind of dean is that, that's my master! If I am killed, what will I do?
Cui Xianggong hesitated a little and said: "That, you shouldn't have an apprentice yet, and we don't know who the person who wants to kill you is." ”
