Chapter 1155: Searching for Someone
Su Ai felt that he was almost better, but his heart became more and more flustered, the night was about to pass, no one from the Kongtong faction came back, Gu Shenwei was nowhere to be found, and even those killers lost interest in him and did not come to the door to assassinate.
The five remaining Kongtong sect disciples were even more flustered than him, and they were a little frightened, and they stayed in the hall silently, no one dared to go back to their rooms to sleep alone, and they would jump up in fright at the slightest noise outside, and this kind of torture was finally relieved just after the fifth watch.
There was a rush to knock on the door, and several people rushed out to meet them, but the door was empty, and there was an extra note on the ground with stones pressed on it.
Chen Jinfu picked up the note and read: "'Something is going to happen soon, hide, don't approach the palace and the palace today.'" 'What do you mean? Who wrote it? For whom?'
Another Kongtong sect disciple snatched it up and looked at it carefully, "It's a friend of mine, it's really righteous, and he came to remind me...... Hey, what about Su Gongzi?"
Su Ai had already rushed to the street, and he was going to the Pony Mansion.
Gu Shenwei seemed to know everything, and he had already reminded Shangguan Jiaotou, but Su Ai couldn't rest assured, he had to go in person.
When he ran to the Horse Mansion, it was already dawn, and the streets and alleys were full of Yulin Army soldiers, proving that something was really going to happen today, and Su Ai went around the mansion for half a circle before finding the opportunity to jump over the wall and enter the back garden.
There was no one in the garden, Su Ai didn't know where Shangguan Ru lived, and he was at a loss for what to do, when he heard a human voice, he hurriedly dodged and hid in a tree.
More than a dozen people hurried over and stopped under the tree.
"General Luo, why should I run away? Couldn't the 100,000 Yulin Army stop a group of rabble?"
Su Ai had never seen the princess, but as soon as she heard the condescending tone, she knew that it must be her, and as for "General Luo", it must be Luo Cong, the general of Yulin.
Luo Cong bowed down and said: "Yes, the princess is right, it is a group of rabble, but it is more troublesome to mobilize the Yulin army, although I am the general of Yulin, but I also have to have the letter of the military department." ”
"Then go to the military department to ask for it, it's not the first time you've dealt with them. ”
"Here's the trouble. Luo Cong wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, the enemy's actions were earlier than he imagined, and he was caught off guard, "The big and small officials of the military department, as well as the collected letter talismans, are all gone. ”
"Gone?" the princess didn't understand what he meant.
"They hid yesterday evening, I sent someone to search their house, but they didn't go home, they must have known the news in advance and deliberately avoided me. ”
"It's King Xiao's trick again. The princess gritted her teeth, and then said angrily: "You are so incompetent, what if you don't have a letter talisman, is there still someone in the Yulin Army who doesn't listen to your orders?"
"The princess should know. Luo Cong defended himself anxiously, "The generals of the Yulin Army are not all our people, and all parties stuff people into it, such as ......"
"Stupid. The princess reached out and grabbed Luo Cong's ear, the two had a good time, Luo Cong was proud of being pinched by the princess at that time, "It's such a time, what are you hesitating about? Call your Luo family's swordsmen and kill all the disobedient generals." Just today, whoever controls the Yulin Army will be the winner. ”
"Yes, yes. Luo Cong covered his ears, not feeling honored at all, "Pingji and Qihong's uncle and nephew have already gone to find Luo Pingying, and they will soon be able to bring the Luo family swordsman back." ”
The princess let go of her hand, looked up at the light in the sky, and suddenly sighed, "Raising soldiers for a thousand years, they actually ran to take revenge when they needed it most, haha, the people in the rivers and lakes are short-sighted, or King Xiao will use them more." ”
Luo Cong hated even more in his heart, Luo Jiazhuang was divided into two factions, civil and military, and it had always been the literary faction, he couldn't have imagined that Luo Pingying would dare not listen to the orders of the head of the family, and he had to go to Gu Shenwei to regain the secret, but at this time......
"Go and invite the guests from the Western Regions to come over. The princess ordered, and a maid should be, and hurried out of the garden.
"What are you looking for her?" Luo Cong asked suspiciously.
"I can't hang myself from a tree, and since I can't count on the Locke family, I have to find another way. ”
Luo Cong was stunned, and scolded Luo Pingying in his heart, and he had to smile on his face, "After all, it's from the Western Regions, not my race, so the princess should be careful." ”
"It's a big deal to be killed by the Dragon King with a knife, it's better than waiting for death. The princess thought about her thoughts, and didn't pay much attention to Luo Cong, and after a while, she said: "Leave a few hundred soldiers here, you will go out of the city and return to the barracks immediately, and you must not let others get the Yulin Army." ”
"Yes, I'll go. Luo Cong ran fast with the guards, and he couldn't figure it out, yesterday he still held great power, and he could arrest people inside and outside the capital at will, why suddenly no one obeyed his orders, if it was really as the princess said, all this was a conspiracy of King Xiao, and there were many ministers who secretly threw themselves at King Xiao.
There were only five people left under the tree, and the princess was dressed in a strong costume and muttered to herself: "I am the ...... of the red bat"
Shangguan Ru and the red bat came, Su Ai, who was hiding in the tree, felt at ease, and held his breath at the same time, Shangguan Sect head had excellent ear power, he didn't want to be discovered at this time.
The princess put on a smiling face, "It's great that you're here, I have something to discuss with you, it's not safe here, let's talk while we go." ”
The group walked away, Su Ai didn't catch up, Shangguan Rujiao was an assertive person, and he didn't need others to give advice, but he had nothing to do now, so he decided to go around the mansion and pretend to meet unexpectedly.
"Sue Oi. "The red bats came from afar.
Su Ai sighed softly, he still couldn't avoid the ears of the sect leader.
"Sure enough, it's you. Red Bat approached with a smile, "Why aren't you with Gu Gongzi?"
"He's in trouble. Su Ai briefly recounted yesterday's experience, and did not mention his injury.
Red Bat came back with an excuse, although Shangguan Ru only hinted in her eyes, she had a clear idea of the sect leader, and said to Su Ai: "Go find Gu Gongzi and tell him that the princess is going to assassinate King Xiao." ”
"Assassinate King Xiao?" Su Ai thought that the princess was going to seize control of the Yulin Army.
"Well, she said that the thief will capture the king first, kill King Xiao, and the rebels will be leaderless, and all problems will be solved. The red bat turned around and chased after the princess.
Su Ai didn't know where to go, he knew very little about Gu Shenwei's true plan, and he couldn't guess where he was going.
"The Rod. Su Ai whispered, thinking that Gu Shenwei would go there to find the whereabouts of the killer and Lin Xiaoshan's father and son.
When Su Ai came to the Instrument and Staff Bureau, the heroes of the rivers and lakes had just entered the city, and the chaos caused had not yet spread throughout the capital, and the streets and alleys were crowded with vendors and pedestrians as usual.
Although Su Ai believed that the killers had been transferred, she was still very cautious and walked slowly through the crowd, hoping that Gu Shenwei would see her.
There was a sudden disturbance on the street, and a market official shouted while running, "Closing the stalls, closing the doors, you are not allowed to do business today, hurry up, close the stalls, close the doors, everyone who is okay will go home, don't go shopping if you have something, go home quickly." ”
The crowd was at a loss, asking each other if the little official was crazy.
The explanation came quickly, and no one deliberately spread it, and the news still followed behind the little official, and quickly spread throughout the street.
"The Ten Directions Sect rebelled and entered the city!"
"No, it's the righteous people who want to avenge the emperor, don't you know? The emperor was killed by the queen mother and the princess!"
For ordinary people, the results of these two statements are similar, and they have to hide far away.
The shouts of the little officials faded away, the streets were noisy, and after a while, more than half of the people were missing, and the discarded goods were scattered all over the streets, and occasionally there were brave people, picking up a lot of steamed buns and flatbreads along the way, in case the chaos continued, the food was very precious.
Su Ai suddenly had nowhere to hide, so he didn't care about revealing his whereabouts, so he jumped on the courtyard wall of the Instrument Staff Bureau while no one was paying attention, planning to venture in to find Gu Shenwei.
Almost as soon as he jumped onto the wall, the door of the staff bureau opened, and a group of people walked quickly out into the street, escorting a sedan chair and leaving.
Su Ai hesitated slightly, returned to the street, hid under the eaves facing the street, followed the team, walked dozens of steps, and the door next to him suddenly opened, startling him, and just about to make a move, he found that the face exposed in the door was not malicious.
"Come on in. The old man grabbed Su Ai's arm and dragged him into the house.
This is a shop that sells noodles, except for the board, there is not much space left, full of more than a dozen people crowded into the area, all are vendors who set up stalls on the street and pedestrians who have not had time to go home, the old man who opened the door was selling wontons, Su Ai chatted with him yesterday, and gave several times the money for the meal when he left.
"Guest officer, you are too bold to dare to walk around the street. ”
"I live far away and have nowhere to go. Su Ai looked out through the crack in the door, "What's going on?" ”
The people in the room replied in a gossipy manner, there are any theories, the Shifang Sect, the Yulin Army, the robbers, the queen mother, and the princess have all become candidates for rebellion, and the Dragon King has not been spared, but his reputation in the Central Plains is not obvious, and the listeners do not take it seriously.
There is only one person's words that are more reliable, "I heard from a friend who was mixed with the second brother of the neighbor that the emperor was killed by the annihilation of the ministers, and a group of rivers and lakes were uneven, and they entered the city to avenge the emperor." ”
"It has nothing to do with us, does it?" asked the shopkeeper nervously, his hands covered in flour.
"The righteous people of the rivers and lakes are all heroes and heroes, how can they still rob your family's face? Just don't go out and walk around, the sword has no eyes, don't be a dead ghost. ”
Everyone nodded, and they didn't want to go out.
Su Ai asked the old man who sold the wontons, "What is the team of people who came out of the cane bureau for? They are dressed neatly, and they don't look like officers and soldiers." ”
"Hey, you're curious. The old man's tone was slightly reproachful, but he was still very willing to answer questions for the strangers, "Those people are the guards of King Xiao's mansion at first glance, the emperor trusts King Xiao the most, and the guards who are licensed to him are dressed the same as the palace guards, but the color of the belt is different, the purple color is in the palace, and the red color is in the palace." ”
It was King Xiao again, and Su Ai was quite surprised.
Not long after, Su Ai saw Gu Shenwei. (To be continued.) )
