Chapter 241: Uncontrollable
Han Bing originally wanted to return to Prince Ding's Mansion from the secret passage with Haoxing Mingrui, but he refused without hesitation.
Hearing that his uncle did not agree to go to see his master, Han Bing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When he thought of the gray-haired master, who was still worried about himself as an apprentice all day long, and all he could do was to constantly comfort his old man with lies, a kind of unspeakable guilt and bitterness inevitably arose in his cold heart.
If Uncle had told Master the truth desperately this time, Master would definitely not let him take the risk to save Shiyu. In this way, I am afraid that on top of the charge of deceiving the teacher, there will be another article of blatant disobedience to the teacher's orders.
In fact, it was precisely because Haoxing Mingrui had already seen this and knew that even Uncle Seven couldn't stop Han Bing from saving Shiyu now, so he simply didn't let Han Bing go to see Uncle Seven, and he didn't have to bother making up those lies to deceive his master.
Of course, the reason why Haoxing Mingrui did this was because he still had another thought in it.
He wanted to delay Hanbing's return to the city as long as possible, while he himself went back first to try to find out more about the situation, and at the same time there was a faint hope that maybe things would take some unexpected turn.
Therefore, before leaving, he repeatedly warned Han Bing sternly that he must not enter the city without his permission. Moreover, he also deliberately left Uncle Qing behind, although he didn't expect this old man to be able to contain Han Bing, but at least he could inform him of Han Bing's movements as soon as possible.
Han Bing already had a delicate heart, how could he not see his uncle's intentions? But he was not a reckless person, and of course he understood his uncle's good intentions, so he obediently rested in this tea shop for the night according to his instructions.
It is said to be resting, but in fact, Han Bing has been sitting there pranayama and practicing. The crisis was imminent, and he must not allow himself to slack off.
It wasn't until the light of day was already shining that he stood up, pondering how to convince Qing Bo to let himself into the city to check on the situation.
At this time, Qing Bo walked in with a tray, which contained a bowl of hot porridge and a few steamed buns.
He put the food on the table beside him, and then said to Han Bing, "Eat something first." Mingrui has sent someone to spread the word, everything is as usual in Jingyang City at present, although Shiyu has not returned to the house, it is estimated that there will be no major danger. He tells you not to move, but to watch what happens. ”
Han Bing grinned, walked to the table and sat down, silently picked up a bun and ate it. After eating one, he picked up the other, but he didn't touch the bowl of porridge at all.
Seeing him like this, Uncle Qing frowned, and also sat down at the table, watching him eat without blinking.
Han Bing couldn't help but roll his eyes, picked up a bun and handed it to Uncle Qing, and said, "Uncle Qing, you can have one too." ”
Qing Bo looked at him and didn't reach out to pick up the bun, "You kid won't think I've put some poison in this bun, right?"
Han Bing smiled and said, "Although Qing Bo's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, his kung fu is too bad!"
If you put this sweat medicine in a bun, I might have eaten half of it. But you put it in the porridge, and the smell comes out with the heat, so how can I not smell it?"
Qing Bo was stunned, couldn't help but smile, and said, "You kid also know that I can't smell the smell, where can you tell the difference?"
Han Bing naturally knew that in order to relieve the torture of the Endless Pill, Hua Xiangjun used the golden needle technique to seal some acupoints on Qing Bo's body, causing him to completely lose a variety of senses, including pain and smell.
"This medicine can't be left by my uncle when he left, right?" asked Han Bing with a helpless smile.
"Hmph, if he really wants to use medicine to bring you down, how can he use such an inferior thing?
Han Bing's face suddenly became bitter, and he asked, "Then this medicine is still in your private possession, Uncle Qing, and it can't be specially prepared to deal with me, right?"
Uncle Qing snorted again, and said with some annoyance: "It was given to me by Cui'er's little girl! This girl is not reliable at all." I asked her to get some medicine that can make people sleep, but she got this most common sweat medicine!"
As soon as Han Bing heard it, he understood that it must have been yesterday that his uncle asked Uncle Qing to send him to the north, and Uncle Qing was worried that he would not be obedient, so he prepared this medicine in advance.
He may have wanted to mix it in water or food to take advantage of his physical and mental exhaustion after an erysipelas attack.
When I wake up like this, I am afraid that I am already hundreds of miles away, and it is too late to rush back to Beijing to save people.
However, since this medicine was prepared for yesterday, why did Qing Bo take it out again today? Could it be his uncle's idea to let him put himself down in order to prevent him from entering the city?
"Uncle Qing, since you and your uncle know that there is no way to stop me from entering the city, why don't you tell me the truth, so that I can know what I will face?"
Seeing that the eyes of the cold stars were full of pleading, Qing Bo couldn't help sighing, shook his head and said, "We really can't stop you stubborn boy!
Han Bing said very calmly: "If I don't step in, how can I save the people who have fallen into the trap?" Because then not only will you not be able to save others, but you will also be put into it, which is really pointless!"
Qing Bo pondered for a moment before he said, "If you promise me, follow me back to Huafu first, and I will tell you the truth." ”
Han Bing nodded happily and said, "Okay! I promise you, Uncle Qing!"
"The emperor summoned Prime Minister Zuo to the palace early this morning. ”
Although it was only such a brief piece of news, Han Bing was shocked when he heard it.
It seems that the emperor does not want to use Shiyu as bait to capture himself, but wants to use Shiyu as a hostage to coerce Lord Zuo. And his ultimate goal should still be to deal with himself.
The uncle must have seen the emperor's intentions, so he ordered himself not to enter the city, so that the emperor's plan would be frustrated.
But once the emperor's plan fails, what will happen to Lord Zuo Xiang and Shiyu?
No matter what trick the emperor catches Lord Zuo, if he fails to achieve his goal in the end, this so-called Holy Lord Mingjun will definitely not hesitate to turn that "handle" into a trumped-up crime.
And once something happens to Prime Minister Zuo, it will not only affect the safety of the prime minister's house, but also the safety of many people who are involved with him. It will even be related to the success or failure of what they are currently planning.
How could his uncle not see this kind of crisis? But he still allowed himself to hide outside the city.
Could it be that things are so bad that even he can't control them?
Or did ——, he already had something else in mind?
Thinking of these unpromising possibilities, Han Bing's heart couldn't help but be even more worried, and he hurriedly begged Qing Boyang: "Uncle Qing, let's go to the city!"
Qing Bo sat there and didn't move, staring at Han Bing for a long time before he said in a desolate voice: "Back then, because of my loss, your master Xiao Tianjue was imprisoned in Jishi Temple, and your master and apprentice have been separated for ten years.
Now, I do not want to let your master and apprentice be separated again, or even never again, because of any of my own mistakes!
Since you have promised me that you will go back to Huafu with me, then don't slip away on the way. Because if you don't return to Huafu, it will be my duty as a coachman. In order to atone for my mistakes, I would rather never have this old face again, and kneel directly in front of your master to plead guilty!"
Hearing Uncle Qing's words, Han Bing couldn't help but sigh secretly, people are old and fine, this is really true! The little ghost idea in his heart was actually seen through by Uncle Qing and his old man!
If something happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could he, the eldest son, not go back and take a look? Moreover, it is not known what Lord Zuo Xiang might have left for himself before entering the palace.
But since Qing Bo said so, he really couldn't make it difficult for him. Okay, this time I will obey this old man, and go back to Huafu first.
Thinking of this, his little fox had no choice but to grin and say, "Uncle Qing, don't worry, I'm going to go back to Huafu with you." Otherwise, if you don't ask my master for sin, I will have to be beaten by my uncle and his old man first!"
Qing Bo smiled with satisfaction, got up happily and said, "Then let's go back to the city!"
