Long Wind Crossing - Chapter 163
Gu Jiusi hurried towards the city gate, and when he arrived at the gate, he found that the garrison at the gate had been replaced by his people, and the team leaders were Liu Sheng and Chen Chang, both of whom were promoted by him The people who came up saw Gu Jiusi and bowed respectfully.
Gu Jiusi was wearing **** clothes, the two of them couldn’t help but feel a little strange, but they didn’t dare to ask more, Gu Jiusi glanced at them, and then said, “How did you temporarily change positions tonight?”
“The person in charge of the defense is my friend,” Liu Sheng said immediately, “I told him that it was time for a change, so he transferred us over.”
“
“Sir,” Liu Sheng frowned, “The palace is locked, do you know?”
When Gu Jiusi heard this, he immediately said, “Who is in charge of defense tonight in the palace?”
“Guo Shun, the commander of the Ma army.” Wang Chang answered immediately, and then said, “Just now, I heard that Li Hong, the commander of the guard infantry, was sent to the Ye family.”
When Gu Jiusi heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then said: “Would you like to lead the troops to Yefu with me at this moment?”
Liu Sheng and Wang Chang were stunned when they heard this, Gu Jiusi leaned down and said in a low voice: “You are my cronies, after tomorrow, the cabinet will no longer exist, and Dongdu will probably be Your Majesty and Luo Zishang are in charge of the government, are you going to find Lord Zhou with me, or stay here?”
Moreover, Zhou Gaolang was already in a position of high authority. If you add Gu Jiusi and other important ministers in the cabinet, then the core of Daxia is actually in Zhou Gaolang’s hands. If Zhou Gaolang came back, Dongdu would be vulnerable at all.
After the two thought for a moment, Liu Sheng immediately said: “Wang Chang, you go pick up our family, and I will take someone to Ye Mansion with Master Gu.”
“No, we are divided into four groups. You go to Ye Mansion, rescue the Ye family, and then go out under the big tree three miles outside the city, learn how to call a cuckoo three times, and join my wife,” Gu Jiusi said decisively, ” Then give me a team, and I’ll go to the Zhou Mansion. Send another person to the Heavenly Prison, find a reliable person, and inform my uncle of the matter.”
“Don’t need to rescue Mr. Jiang?” Liu Sheng was a little worried, Gu Jiusi shook his head, “He has his own way, if there is no way, let someone report.”
Jiangcheng has been in the Eastern Capital for many years and has long been a local snake in the Eastern Capital. It is difficult for him to kill Fan Yu, but it is not easy for Fan Yu to kill him.
After the three were divided, Liu Sheng and Wang Chang immediately led their people and followed Gu Jiusi away.
When Liu Chang brought people to Ye Mansion, Ye Shi’an and Ye Yun had already led them to fight with Li Hong’s people. Liu Chang arrived in time with them and drank heavily Aloud: “Young Master Ye, Master Gu sent me to pick you up!”
After finishing speaking, Liu Chang’s people rushed forward and blocked Li Hong’s people. Liu Chang grabbed Ye Shi’an and hurriedly said: “Young Master Ye, there are not many of us, hurry up and get out. Dongdu is.”
“But my uncle…”
“Let’s talk about it when we go to the east!”
Liu Chang grabbed Ye Shian, Ye Shian gritted his teeth, looked back at the other family members of the Ye family, grabbed Ye Yun, and hurriedly said: “Go!”
Liu Chang protected the Liu family and fought and fled, Gu Jiusi led the people to the Zhou Mansion in a hurry, but their people had just arrived halfway, when Gu Jiusi heard a weak voice saying: “Gu Jiusi grown ups.”
Gu Jiusi heard the sound and hurriedly restrained the horse. He turned over and dismounted, and hurried into an alley, when he saw a maid half lying on the ground. on the wall.
Gu Jiusi recognized her as the maid next to Qin Wanzhi, and he hurriedly asked, “Why are you here? Where is your master?”
“Master…Master…”
The maid was panting. She shivered and pulled off her coat. Gu Jiusi lowered her head and saw a child sleeping sweetly with her eyes closed. The child was stained with blood, and the maid looked at Gu Jiusi and said with difficulty: “Little son, hand it over, hand it over…”
“I know.” Gu Jiusi interrupted her immediately and hurriedly took the child into her arms, “This is Sigui, right?”
The maid seems to be dying, she nodded with difficulty, then raised her finger in the direction of Zhoufu, and said in a low voice: “Master said, don’t go… hurry… go…”
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid finally couldn’t hold on anymore, closed her eyes, and lost her breath.
Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, but after a while, he understood that since Luo Zishang was set up tonight, the most important thing must be the Zhou Gaolang family. It was already sent by the Zhou family. Nowadays, there are not many others. If they try to save the Zhou family forcibly, I am afraid that none of them will be saved, and even myself will be lost.
However, he was still not reconciled. He held the child in his arms, and after instructing people to hide it, he brought a small group of people to Zhoufu.
He stopped in the dark alley not far from the Zhou mansion, looked out the alley, and saw that the gate of the Zhou mansion was crowded with soldiers, Mrs. Zhou and Qin Wanzhi were holding swords and leading people to stand At the gate of Zhou Mansion, Qin Wanzhi still had blood on her face, and Mrs. Zhou was wearing her official uniform, standing in front, confronting the soldiers.
Gu Jiusi listened to Mrs. Zhou’s words and counted the number of people in the Zhou mansion, while the soldier next to him quietly took the arrow from the quiver box, put it on the bowstring, and waited for Gu Jiusi One command.
Gu Jiusi did not speak, he looked around, then frowned, pulled the sleeve of the soldier next to him, raised his chin toward the distant eaves, and shook his head again. The soldier looked up and saw a few figures on the surrounding eaves.
Gu Jiu thought about it, went around to the other side, and threw a stone out.
Such a small movement was noticed immediately, and the leader of the soldiers standing in front suddenly raised his voice: “Mrs. The two young masters handed it over, and today I will settle the Zhou Mansion.”
Hearing this, Qin Wanzhi seemed to be in a hurry, she stepped forward and said loudly: “You dare? Let’s see if you have this ability! You are just bluffing when you set up a net of heaven and earth!”
Gu Jiusi took a deep breath when he heard this. He looked at Qin Wanzhi and Mrs. Zhou in the distance, and he understood that Luo Zishang probably guessed that he would come back to save people and specially There are people waiting for him here.
At this moment, Qin Wanzhi was reminding him to leave immediately.
Gu Jiusi hesitated for a moment, if it was only him, he might be able to fight, but now with a child…
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this child.
Qin Wanzhi desperately sent this child out, just to protect this child,
Gu Jiusi gritted his teeth, turned around, waved at everyone, and quietly retreated away.
It was just that as soon as they retreated, the arrows hurriedly fired from the side. Gu Jiusi and his party hadn’t entered the firing range, and they hurriedly retreated without looking back. Luo Zishang’s soldiers immediately chased away. Mrs. Zhou saw this, With a loud snort, “Stop them!”
The soldiers of the Zhou family rushed out, and immediately became entangled with the people of Luo Zishang. Gu Jiusi rushed out of the dark alley with the child in his arms, got on his horse, and immediately ran towards the city gate.
At this time, the inner palace was full of singing and dancing.
Zhang Yu and Ye Qingwen were sitting in the hall, Ye Qingwen’s hair crown was already crooked, her hair was spread out, Zhang Yu was sweating coldly on her forehead, but she still pretended to be calm.
Fan Yu sat on a high place, laughing at the beauties next to her while watching the dancers dancing in the hall. Luo Zishang sat aside, drank wine with a smile, and said nothing.
Your Majesty, tonight, according to His Majesty’s instructions, Ye Shiming, Zhang Cheng and others have been introduced into the palace, and they will be shot in ambush in the alley.”
Hearing this, Marven Ye stood up abruptly and shouted angrily, “What did you say?!”
Ye Shiming is the only heir left by Ye Qingwen and serves as the commander-in-chief of the Nancheng Army. And Zhang Cheng was a son of Zhang Yu and Zhang family, and served as the head of all the classes in front of the palace.
Ye Wenqing’s angry shout did not make anyone answer him, Ye Wenqing stared at the person kneeling on the ground, tremblingly: “Guo Shun, do you know what you are doing?”
Guo Shun did not speak, Zhang Yu stood up tremblingly, looked at Fan Yu in the hall, and said with a low smile: “Your Majesty, I understand, tonight you have made up your mind. already.”
The singing and dancing continued, but Zhang Yu’s words were clearly communicated to the top, Fan Yu raised his hand, and the singing and dancing stopped, holding the cup, looked at Zhang Yu with a smile and said: “Uncle Zhang, you are used to Come here, someone who can talk, among the few uncles, I also like you more, and if you don’t join this cabinet, I can still save your life. Now you have anything else to say, it’s okay to say it.”
“The old minister’s own affairs, there is nothing to say,” Zhang Yu smiled bitterly, “It’s just that the old minister has a few questions, and he is worried for His Majesty.”
“Oh? What’s the problem?”
“Your Majesty used me and Lord Ye tonight to introduce our two lineages into the palace and lead people to ambush and murder them. Dare to ask Your Majesty, are these people from Dongdu’s own army?”
Fan Yu didn’t speak, turned the cup, and Zhang Yu knew the answer: “I’m afraid Lord Luo quietly put the Yangzhou army in the city? So many people were ambushed in the Eastern Capital. , is it a temporary plan?”
“What do you want to say?” Fan Yu was a little impatient, Zhang Yu looked at Fan Yu and spoke faster, “Your Majesty, don’t you understand? Luo Zishang is so scheming, why Maybe it’s just to help you, he’s wholeheartedly, to make plans for himself!”
“Aren’t you also planning for yourself?” Fan Yu sneered, “You are one by one, which one is not planning for yourself?”
“Then you have to choose a good way to go!” Zhang Yu shouted, “Think about it for yourself, even if you kill me and Lord Ye tonight, our remnant party What? What about our old department? I know your plan, didn’t you plan to trap Jiang He tonight, coax me, Lord Ye, and Lord Gu into the palace and wipe them out in one fell swoop. In the name of Jiang He, he began to judge Jiang He, and then linked Jiang He and King Liang, and then began to liquidate Jiang He’s henchmen. Without us, Jiang He will be alone in the court. Under the guise of the cabinet, news was spread to Youzhou to lure Zhou Gaolang and Zhou Ye into Dongdu. After the two of them died, the rest of the cabinet would be a mess. Even if they were organized, you would still have Yangzhou to support you, right? “
“But what about now? Gu Jiusi didn’t come, that’s why he ran away. Since he ran out, it is impossible for Zhou Gaolang to not know the news here. Even if you kill us today, as long as Zhou Gaolang does something, Our people will inevitably respond for revenge. At that time, your troops are not as strong as Zhou Gaolang, and there are internal ghosts in the court. Luo Zishang will become your only support, and you will truly become a puppet emperor, who will be manipulated for a lifetime… “
“Where did I come from?!”
Hearing this, Fan Yu laughed loudly: “I am a puppet emperor in his hands, but not in yours? You think I don’t know your plans? You plan to keep them I, when I give birth to the prince, how can I live?”
“Xiaoyu!” When Zhang Yu heard this, he took a step forward in a hurry, but the soldier drew his sword and held it in front of him. He looked at Fan Yu and said anxiously, “You are us. Watching you grow up, we won’t put you to death no matter what!”
“Shut up!”
Fan Yu suddenly pulled out his sword, pointed at Zhang Yu and said, “You can’t lie to me! You are good, my father is good, all of you are talking about high-sounding words and pretending to be a decent gentleman. In your heart, what am I compared to the world? I am worthless. I want you today, my father, and all of you to watch. How can I destroy the world that you exchanged your life for! The world is mine now Yes, it’s mine!”
“You lunatic!”
Even if Zhang Yu has always been good-natured, he couldn’t help but scold, Fan Yu laughed when he heard this, he clapped his hands and said happily: “It’s fine, great, I will I love hearing you say that.”
“Your Majesty,” Luo Zishang put down his teacup and said calmly, “it’s almost dawn, it’s time to prepare to go to the palace to see Lord Jiang.”
Fan Yu got this, with a sad expression, threw the sword to the side, and then said: “It’s boring.”
After finishing speaking, Fan Yu turned around and was about to leave. It was at this moment that Ye Qingwen grabbed the sword of the guard next to him and rushed towards Fan Yu. , All the soldiers rushed towards Ye Qingwen, dozens of feather arrows penetrated Ye Qingwen’s body, Zhang Yu’s eyes were split, and he shouted: “Qingzhan!”
Speaking, Zhang Yu rushed to Ye Qingwen and supported Ye Qingwen, Ye Qingwen stared at Fan Yu, his mouth was full of blood, and he said vaguely: “Beast…”
“Qingzhan…Qingzhan, you are okay…”
Zhang Yu panicked, but at this moment, a sharp blade slammed through his body, Zhang Yu turned back with difficulty, saw a guard, the guard looked at him calmly, and said respectfully :”excuse me.”
Everything was quiet, Fan Yu stared at Zhang Yu, who was lying on the ground, watching the blood cover the ground.
“Is this all the way of the emperor?”
Fan Yu spoke suddenly, staring at the blood on the ground, frowning tightly.
Luo Zishang stood up and said calmly: “All the paths of power in this world are like this.”
Speaking, Luo Zishang bent slightly, stretched out his hand towards Fan Yu, and said respectfully, “Your Majesty, it’s time for you to go to court.”
Fan Yu did not speak, he looked at the blood on the ground, after a long time, he crossed Luo Zishang, walked down the steps, stepped on the blood in a trance, and murmured: “You are right Yes, I should go to court.”
Luo Zishang and Fan Yu walked all the way out, while Gu Jiusi rushed out of the city gate early.
Not long after he left the city, he saw Liu Sheng who went to pick up the Ye family. When Ye Shian saw Gu Jiusi coming, he rushed over and said anxiously, “How is my uncle?”
“Not yet known.”
Gu Jiusi shook his head, and then said: “I still have someone inside, I will know the situation by dawn at the latest.”
When Ye Shian heard this, he calmed down, and then found that Gu Jiusi was holding a child in his arms, he was a little puzzled: “This is?”
“Big Brother Zhou’s child.”
Gu Jiusi pursed her lips: “I wanted to go to Zhou’s house to bring everyone back, but…”
No need to say more, everyone already understood, he said, and then hurriedly said: “Can you see my wife?”
“Here I am.”
Liu Yuru spoke out from the crowd, Gu Jiusi hurriedly looked over and saw Liu Yuru walking out of the crowd, he looked at Liu Yuru up and down, and then said, “Are you all okay?”
“It’s fine.”
Liu Yuru shook her head, then said, “We’ll be waiting for you here after we came out of the dark passage.”
Gu Jiusi nodded, Ye Shian looked around at the people around him, gritted his teeth and said, “Jusi, we are all here now, or let’s go back.”
“I’m afraid it’s not possible,” Liu Yuru said aside, “Since Luo Zishang made a move, it wouldn’t be a rash move, he must be prepared, and now there are Yangzhou soldiers in the city. Ma, he caught us by surprise again, and now our troops in the city have been scattered and destroyed one by one, and if we go back to the city now, I am afraid that instead of saving people, we will die.”
“But my uncle and my cousin…”
Before the words were finished, I saw a person galloping from a distance, and he learned to call a cuckoo from afar, making three sounds in a group. After Gu Jiusi heard it, he said to everyone, “Hide and I’ll go over.”
Everyone immediately hid, Gu Jiusi raised his sword, walked to the middle of the road, and quietly watched the people in front of him come on horses.
Gu Jiusi recognized the man as Jiang He’s attendant Wang Lai, and when the other party saw him from a distance, he immediately got off his horse and respectfully said, “Young Master.”
“Where’s your uncle?”
Gu Jiusi frowned and opened his mouth, Wang Lai immediately said: “Now that the city gate has changed, it is inconvenient for the lord to come out.
Speaking, Wanglai took out a box and a sword, held both hands in front of Gu Jiusi, and said respectfully: “Sir, Ye Shiming and Zhang Cheng were both brought into the palace by Luo Zishang and beheaded. Now, the main force that the cabinet can mobilize is gone, you must rush to Youzhou as soon as possible and inform Lord Zhou. You have to take the Tianzi sword and this box together, and the box should be hidden and taken out at a critical moment. “
When Gu Jiusi heard this, his heart froze, and he knew what was in this box. He took the sword and hung it on his body, then hid the box in his sleeve, and said, “Go back to protect your uncle, I will go to Youzhou as soon as possible to inform Master Zhou and bring someone back to save him.”
“The lord said that it doesn’t matter whether you save him or not,” Wang Lai said calmly, “The important thing is that Luo Zishang cannot be allowed to stabilize the Eastern Capital. I can’t find the lord when I go back to the city. I can only follow the son.”
Gu Jiusi nodded, hesitated for a moment, then said, “Master Ye and Master Zhang…”
“The news I got when I was out of town,” Wang Lai’s tone was not even half-hearted, “I’ve already gone.”
Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, he was shocked, and after a while, he opened his mouth, but said nothing.
He turned his head and led Wanglai back to the crowd. As soon as Ye Shian saw Wanglai, he rushed up: “Do you know my uncle…”
“Young Master Ye,” Wang Lai interrupted him, bowed and said respectfully, “My condolences.”
Hearing this, Ye Shian’s face suddenly turned pale, and Gu Jiusi held him up to stop his shaking. When Ye Yun heard the news, she clenched her fists and said with a trembling voice, “Then my cousin…”
“Together.”
Hearing this, the Ye family stopped talking.
Gu Jiusi glanced at Ye Shian and Ye Yun, and hesitated: “The situation is urgent now…”
“I understand.”
Ye Shian clenched his fists. He turned his head away and stared at Dongdu.
After a while, he tore off a hem and tied it to his forehead, Gu Jiusi said, “Let’s go.”
Gu Jiusi did not speak, he seemed to be thinking about something.
Everyone looked at him, the sky was getting brighter gradually, Gu Jiusi put his hands in his sleeves, his clothes fluttered, he thought for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Liu Yuru quietly: “Can you trouble Madam I’m going to Yangzhou?”
Liu Yuru heard this and was stunned for a moment, then she turned to her side, straightened her back, folded her hands in front of her, looked back at Gu Jiusi, and said calmly: “What is it about Langjun? thing?”
Seeing Liu Yuru who responded so earnestly, Gu Jiusi unconsciously raised a very shallow smile. He looked at the woman in front of him in the morning light, took a step forward, lowered his voice, and used extremely In a low voice, “Find Mrs. Ji—”
“Drawing from the bottom of the pot.”
