The traitor has a white moonlight
Chapter 122 Goodbye Father and Son
Gu Huaisheng waited for the child to take the medicine before leaving, but with such a delay, it was impossible to go to the military camp.Walking around the official department in my spare time, I originally wanted to leave as soon as I arrived, but when I didn't want to enter, I was blocked by several veteran ministers in the cabinet.
Gu Huaisheng was also convinced of this situation.Without hesitation, he turned around and was about to run away, but was stopped before his feet crossed the threshold.
"Hey! Mr. Gu, please stop!"
The five people rushed forward, directly blocking Gu Huaisheng's way out, and surrounded them.
Gu Huaisheng was forced to stop, looked at this and then that, smiled and cupped his hands and exchanged greetings: "Master Zhang, Master Hong, Master Xu, Master Yang, Master Chen... What kind of wind is blowing today? It's a coincidence that a lord is here for the Ministry of Officials?"
"Unfortunately." Master Zhang exchanged glances with several people, and did not give Gu Huaisheng a chance to play tricks at all, and said bluntly: "We are here specially to block Master Gu."
"Ah?" Gu Huaisheng smiled awkwardly, his eyeballs rolled around, trying to find an opportunity to escape, but these people surrounded their faces without leaving any gaps, so he couldn't find any gaps when he wanted to slip, so he had to continue to argue: "Several adults have something important to let people know. Why do you need to mobilize the crowd like this? You really flattered the officials, but you have also seen it. I am just a small official servant, and I still don't ask for it." Those who are motivated to eat and wait to die, you guys..."
"Master Gu." Master Chen interrupted Gu Huaisheng, clasping his hands, "How dare we bother Master Gu with matters concerning the cabinet? It's just that King Xun has been unwilling to ascend the throne for so long. We ministers are anxious to see this. Jun, the enthronement ceremony should be sooner rather than later, it's just that King Xi... Lord Gu and King Xi have always been on good terms, so I have to ask you to discuss this matter."
It's almost as obvious as letting him blow the pillow...
Gu Huaisheng sneered in his heart, but didn't show it at all on his face: "Master Chen was joking, how can a subordinate official have the ability to influence King Xie's intentions, this subordinate is soft-spoken, really powerless, and I still have to rely on a few adults to do it."
Hearing Gu Huaisheng's two-five-six push, several people's faces changed, and Mr. Hong said angrily: "If we want to see King Xie, there is no need to come to Mr. Gu. What is your relationship with King Xie? It’s not that I don’t know, if you are a soft-spoken person, wouldn’t we..."
"Master Hong, be careful!" Before Master Hong finished speaking, he was pulled hard by Master Zhang, and shut his mouth anxiously. Master Zhang gave him a warning glance, then let go of him, and cupped his hands at Gu Huaisheng Yili: "Master Hong is upright, please don't blame Mr. Gu for any conflicts..."
"Master Hong is right." Gu Huaisheng smiled evilly: "I have a marriage contract with King Xing, and I am indeed closer than you, but the matter of the monarch is not a joke. If he wants to, he will naturally not procrastinate. There is no follow-up for so long, so I think I have my own considerations, I think, gentlemen, don't worry, when the time comes, King Xun will give you an explanation, although it has not been decided yet, but with King Xun acting as the government, there will be no chaos."
"But……"
Mr. Zhang subconsciously wanted to refute, but Gu Huaisheng didn't give him a chance: "Besides, the accumulated disasters in various places have not been properly dealt with before, and the victims are suffering from hunger and cold. It is indeed inappropriate to ascend the throne at this time. What do you think?"
"This……"
Several people looked at each other, Gu Huaisheng already smiled lightly, turned and left.When they recovered, Gu Huaisheng had already boarded the carriage.
The coachman turned his head and took a look: "Master Gu..."
"Go back to the palace." After Gu Huaisheng sat down, he immediately closed his eyes, but just as he closed them, he opened them suddenly: "Wait!"
Gu Huaisheng opened the curtain to look around, then sat back with a frown, and put down the curtain hesitantly.
"Master Gu?" The coachman didn't know what Gu Huaisheng was doing outside, and he was puzzled after waiting for a long time without any further words, so he couldn't help asking.
"It's nothing." Gu Huaisheng clenched his hands on his knees, expressionless: "Let's go."
The carriage staggered away from the official department, and Gu Huaisheng waited a while before raising the curtain again and turning his head to look around. He still didn't see anything, but he had a strong feeling in his heart...it was that person who came.
"Come here, what are you doing hiding?" Gu Huaisheng sighed with a complex expression, and was about to put down the curtain, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a corner of his clothes, but when he looked over, there was still no one there.
Even so, Gu Huaisheng was sure that he was indeed right.He sighed deeply, and for a moment, his mood became depressed again.
"Stop!" Taking a deep breath, Gu Huaisheng suddenly yelled to stop, and before the carriage stabilized, he jumped down eagerly and ran in the direction where the hem of his clothes disappeared.
Gu Huaisheng ran for two alleys but didn't see anyone. Just when he propped up his knees and wanted to give up in frustration, footsteps sounded behind him.
Gu Huaisheng's ears moved, and he turned around abruptly. When he saw the person behind him, his expression was taken aback for a moment, and then returned to normal.
"I……"
"Find a place to sit down." Gu Huaisheng suggested indifferently, not looking at Gu Zhao's cautious and almost humble expression.
Gu Zhao was really happy when he heard the words, and nodded excitedly: "Okay."
Gu Huaisheng didn't even say a word of nonsense, and directly led the way to the front.
The father and son got into the carriage without saying a word. Gu Huaisheng directly ordered the coachman to go to the nearest restaurant, and then he leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest, completely ignoring Gu Zhao who was sitting across from him in a cramped posture.
When the carriage stopped outside the restaurant, Gu Huaisheng was also the first to get out of the carriage and ignored Gu Zhao.
With Gu Huaisheng's attitude, Gu Zhao felt very uncomfortable, sighed, and then got out of the carriage, and the father and son entered the restaurant one after the other.
Gu Huaisheng is counted among the regular customers of the major restaurants in the capital. As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted him warmly: "I said that the magpie landed on the window sill and screamed non-stop early this morning. I wonder what happy event there will be today. , It turned out that I knew Master Gu would come to announce the good news in advance, but then again, Master Gu hasn't come for a while, huh?"
Gu Huaisheng twitched the corners of his mouth, but did not respond to the shopkeeper's words: "Is the private room upstairs still free?"
"Yes, yes, the room Mr. Gu often uses has been vacant, so I will bring the two of you here..."
"We can go up by ourselves." Gu Huaisheng interrupted the shopkeeper's hospitality: "Blanch a pot of hot wine, a plate of peanuts, and some dried bacon." After finishing speaking, he threw an ingot of silver over.
The shopkeeper reached out to catch it, and immediately smiled even more happily: "Okay! The two adults please go upstairs, and the villain will let the assistant deliver it to you two!"
Gu Huaisheng didn't make a sound, and led Gu Zhao upstairs.As soon as the two of them entered the private room and sat down, the waiter brought up the leeks. After setting them up, there was no nonsense, and they bowed and left, leaving the father and son sitting opposite each other, silent.
After a while, it was Gu Zhao who broke the silence: "Brother Sheng..."
"Actually, there's one thing I've always been curious about." Gu Huaisheng lowered his eyes, reached out and picked up the flagon to pour each other a glass of wine: "What is the truth about what happened back then?"
"Back then..." Mentioning that year, Gu Zhao frowned: "Back then, during the Battle of Wuxi Pass, I fell into the trap of the Xiao family carelessly, and thousands of heroic souls were wiped out. I was seriously injured and fell into the hands of the Xiao thief. There was no doubt that I was going to die, but it was Zhao Wang who risked his life to save me and rescued me by stealing the rope."
Gu Huaisheng was worried about Zhao Yue, so he didn't dare to drink too much. He just took a sip from the glass and put it down: "If I remember correctly, King Zhao was sent there for committing a crime?"
"That's right." Gu Zhao nodded, picked up his glass and drank it down: "The place where he served corvée is very close to Wuxi Pass, and I deserved to die, so I was hit by him." Putting down the glass, he paused After a pause, he continued: "At that time, the place where I was hiding was not safe, and with the blood stains, the enemy would soon find me. It was he who killed those two people and rescued me with injuries all over his body. It was also his hand. It was the disguise technique that allowed me to successfully fake Jin Chan's death."
Gu Zhao said, Gu Huaisheng just watched and did not interrupt.
Gu Zhao glanced at Gu Huaisheng, seeing that his expression was the same, Fang continued to say: "At that time, he was beyond recognition, and his legs were still limping. He was hidden in the cave behind the salt camp for half a month, and he didn't recognize who he was. , it was accidentally exposed later, which caused him to be beaten so badly that he almost died. Only after hearing the servants insulting him did he know his identity. Watching him break out of the siege, he escaped with a narrow escape, and has been hiding his name ever since."
Seeing Gu Huaisheng turned his head to look out the window, thinking that he was impatient to hear this, Gu Zhao paused and stopped in embarrassment.
"Huh?" Gu Huaisheng thought he had finished speaking, and turned around with a frown: "No more?"
"I thought you didn't want to hear it." Gu Zhao said.
"Just tell me, I'll listen." Gu Zhao's cautious attitude made Gu Huaisheng feel complicated and irritable.
"Okay, then I'll make a long story short." Although Gu Huaisheng had no superfluous expression on his face, Gu Zhao could still see Gu Huaisheng's resentment and impatience. That disability was all thanks to the imperial court, and I have always had a deep hatred in my heart, and I also wanted to find out the truth about the tragic ambush at that time, so we went back to Beijing in secret, and I transformed into Chang Shuo, hiding in the palace as a eunuch, According to the truth of the investigation back then, after confirming some things, we cooperated internally and externally and started a revenge plan, but I didn't expect that you would..."
Gu Zhao didn't finish his sentence, but he didn't need to explain what he said next. The father and son had already tacitly understood what he was referring to.
"It's just that I didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin, who was unexpected like me, would suddenly come out." Gu Huaisheng raised the wine glass and shook it, brought it to his nose to smell it, and put it down again: "If... I mean if , I chose Zhao Yi instead of Zhao Yue, what would you do? What if my choice disrupted your original plan, so what about you? Died tragically, I was beheaded, so what about you?"
Gu Huaisheng was also convinced of this situation.Without hesitation, he turned around and was about to run away, but was stopped before his feet crossed the threshold.
"Hey! Mr. Gu, please stop!"
The five people rushed forward, directly blocking Gu Huaisheng's way out, and surrounded them.
