The Rebirth of the Bamboo Horse Emperor

At midnight, the palace.

Emperor Hong'an was still in a deep sleep, showing no sign of waking up.Shen Bingshou was idly flipping through a yellowed old field history book by the bedside, and laughed out loud when he saw something interesting, not afraid of disturbing the sleeping emperor at all.

Shen Yan came out from the side hall, her eyes still hazy, "Go and rest, I'll watch over."

In order to let them stay by the emperor's side all the time, and the emperor would not wake up for a while, Concubine Chen arranged the two of them in the side hall of Qingxin Hall, and Jiang Qing continued to do the same afterwards.

Shen Bing put down the book, "Did it wake you up?"

"No, I woke up a long time ago." Shen Yan said, "The emperor still looks like that?"

"Well, the First Prince came to see him once." Shen Bing still had that lazy look, and said casually, "He wants to make a deal with us."

"I expected it." Shen Yan sat beside him, "What do you want us to do?"

"We will stay by the emperor's side every step of the way. The next time the emperor wakes up, if he makes an imperial edict, he wants me to hand it over to him in secret." The implication is that if someone else is appointed as the crown prince, the imperial edict will be tampered with. .

"Agreed?" Shen Yan frowned.

"After the matter is done, he promised me that he would let me out of the palace and return me to my freedom. I'm the only one." Shen Bing raised his eyebrows, pulled the corners of his mouth, and moved closer to him, emphasizing the pronunciation of the following words, " How could I be willing to leave my dear brother and die alone in the palace alone."

Shen Yan calmly pushed him away, and quietly blushed his ears where he couldn't see, "Come on, do you agree or not?"

Shen Bing sat back again, picked up the teapot on the desk and poured him a cup of tea, then poured another cup for himself, smiling wickedly with shining eyes, "His Royal Highness the eldest son trusts me so much, of course he can't let me down."

Shen Yan rolled his eyes at him, "Have you figured out how to deal with it?"

"Don't worry." After finishing speaking, Shen Bing didn't intend to rest, so she sat with Shen Yan in the main hall until dawn.

Over there, Gu Jue and Jiang Mu got up early and rushed from the inn to the barracks.After getting permission from Liu Jie and Yu Feng, everyone was still immersed in their dreams and did not wake up. Jiang Mu thought about it and went directly to Liu Jie's camp.

Liu Wei just woke up and sat shaking his head. Last night he drank a little too much.Seeing the two of them coming in, they hurriedly stood up to greet them.

"General Liu, I'm here to ask for something." Jiang Mu cut to the chase.

Liu Wei was taken aback by his solemn expression, and became nervous for some reason, "Please speak, Your Highness."

Jiang Mu took out the letter that Jiang Su had written to him, and handed it directly to him.

"This..." Seeing that it was the letter from last night, Liu Ji looked at Jiang Mu hesitantly.

Jiang Mu signaled him but it doesn't matter.

The more Liu Jia watched, the more startled he became, and he probably knew what the Third Highness meant, but he still asked, "What does Your Highness want me to do?"

"I want you to lead troops to help me King Qin." Jiang Mu said solemnly.

Liu Kiao was silent for a while after hearing this, and Jiang Mu also waited for him for a while.Just when Gu Jue couldn't help but want to speak, Liu Jie said, "If His Highness inherits the great rule, how can you guarantee that you can do better than His Royal Highness the eldest son?"

"If Brother Da Huang inherits the throne, I don't know how much he can do for the people. However, if I win the world, I will definitely make my Da Yu people richer and healthier than they are now, and I will never let them suffer from the war." Jiang Mu said, " If the general doesn't believe it, you can make a written statement with me, and write down how I sat on the throne and how I promised the general. If I can't do it in the future, you can make it public."

Liu Jia was silent again.

Gu Jue was helpless, and seeing that he was still unmoved, he told Liu Jie all about Bai Shaoran being bewitched by the rebels, the emperor's serious illness in the palace, and his guesses.

"Is this true?" Liu Jia was startled, they all knew that Bai Shaoran was dying, but they didn't know what kind of disease he had.

"I won't talk nonsense about this matter." Gu Jue said, "I also ask the general to help your highness."

Seeing Gu Huaixi's firm and resolute expression, Liu Wei sighed.

"I promise Your Highness." Liu Jie finally said, "It will be unnecessary to establish written evidence. I believe you can do it."

Jiang Mu breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had never dealt with Liu Jie in his previous life, and he just felt that he could agree to him because of the relationship in this life.

"When are we leaving?" Liu Wei asked.

"The sooner the better."

Liu Jie said, "Then let's set off today, and I will inform everyone."

Jiang Mu nodded.

In response to Liu Kui's order of "urgent call from the middle of Beijing", everyone hurriedly got up, packed their bags and set foot on the road back to Beijing.

The autumn wind at the border is a bit cooler than when it came, piercing into the bones and making people shiver.The yellowing autumn leaves are few and far between, heralding the coming of early winter.

The soldiers looked at the carriages that imprisoned the leaders of the two parties, and walked away in high spirits, but the leaders obviously didn't care about winning or losing the battle, and their hearts were a little heavy.

When Yu Feng and Liu Jie walked behind Gu Jue and Jiang Mu, he stared at the slightly red patch on Gu Jue's wrist with complicated expressions.

Because he just saw the same thing from His Highness the Third Prince.

Gu Jue had already told him about the changes in the palace, he naturally believed it, and followed without hesitation.Originally, if he wanted to stay safe and unwilling to come, he could stay in Kanto.

But he always felt that the Third Highness and Huaixi were not just like childhood playmates.

what is it?

Yu Feng couldn't figure it out.

Gu Jue didn't have time for him to ask, because he was interrogating Lan Yu and the Dongying general along the way.

"Is there any cure for General Bai's Gu poison?"

Lan Yu sat in the prison car with neither sadness nor joy on his face.But the answer is honest.

A fleeting look of doubt flashed across his face, "I have never laid a spell on him, and I have kept my promise to He Yanli and never touched him."

"Who is Yan Li?"

"It's the one who plans to rebel."

Gu Jue frowned, "He was also the one who captured General Bai?"

"Yes, but it seems that in order to avoid revealing the identity, it was directly handed over to me."

Could it be someone Master knew?

Gu Jue's heart trembled, and he suddenly recalled that when he first rescued the master, he once questioned why the master's martial arts was so strong that he still fell into the hands of the enemy, and he quickly asked the doubt in his heart.

Bai Shaoran said that it was because the enemy used Yin Mubai as a bait to trick him into a trap.

In this way, the rebel not only knows the master, but also knows the existence of Mu Bai, and even more knows that Mu Bai is the master's weakness, and he wants to save him even at the risk of an ambush.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Jue glanced at Lan Yu.There should be nothing wrong with what he said. It's time like this, and there's no need to lie.

"What are his conditions for cooperating with you?"

Lan Yu is a smart person, he knows that after he is brought back to Beijing, the brothers in the royal family will soon elect a new leader.If I go back, I won't be able to live well if I don't die, so I might as well cooperate with the questioning of the little general in front of me.

He thought for a while and said, "They found me in Dongyi territory. As for the connection with Dongying, I don't know."

Gu Jue nodded, motioning for him to tell what he knew.

After Yan Li sent people to collude with Dongying and Dongyi, the two armies began to attack Kanto under the premise that Yandong "has a way for them to win."

Lan Yu was quite dissatisfied when he said this.Although the two coalition forces have always shown advantages in general, they have never won a victory in the actual sense.

Gu Jue probably knew that the problem should be the fake General Ning Yuan.But he didn't mention it, and continued to listen to him.

After the fall of the Kanto from Lingzhou, it will definitely cause internal and external troubles.At the same time, other tribes in the north and west have also colluded with Yan Li and will send troops at that time.

But this is just the fantasy of the anti-thief alone, after all, the first ring has already failed.

Regardless of how sure his plan is of success, the border has been stable for many years, and all the ministries are beginning to move around. Even if there is no olive branch thrown by Yan Dong, it will still attract Da Yu's attention one day not too far away.So the leaders agreed without hesitation.

As for Yan Li's condition, when people in the Central Plains were in panic, internal and external, he would lead a rebellion and directly capture the capital.At that time, the troops of the various ministries must immediately stop attacking the territory of Dayu and withdraw, and as for the territory that has already been occupied, all the troops will be assigned to the various ministries.

But how can things develop according to a certain person's ideas, so although all the ministries have agreed, it is not clear what calculations they have in mind.

"That's all I know." Lan Yu said.

Gu Jue was secretly surprised.That rebel has the ability to collude with various tribes in the border, and wants to split Dayu's territory to others so easily, regardless of Dayu's dignity, which really makes people have to take it seriously.

"Thank you, King Lan." Although the other party was already a prisoner, Gu Jue was still polite.

Lan Yu's face changed from a flash of surprise to a deep self-mockery, and he smiled wryly, "Oh, General Gu doesn't have to call me like that."

Gu Jue immediately understood what he meant and didn't know what to say.

Jiang Mu, who had been standing by the side all the time, said with a sneer, "If I knew this earlier, why bother to seek my own death."

He didn't know who he was talking about.

"If you can keep yourself safe, I can save your life." Jiang Mu continued.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lan Yu said lightly, not having the joy of being reborn after death, as if she had expected it a long time ago.

Jiang Mu didn't speak any more, but called Gu Jue to go back to the front and speed up the journey.

The speed of returning to Beijing was no slower than when they came here. Although everyone had doubts, they didn't dare to make a sound when they thought of the urgent call from Beijing.

This day, when we stopped at the junction of Qingzhou and Yizhou for a routine break, a thin and vigorous man suddenly came running on horseback in the distance.

This is the only way to march, Gu Jue suddenly had a strong premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, after a while, the man came closer, Gu Jue saw his appearance clearly, and was overjoyed, "Deputy General Lin!"

The man hurriedly stopped in front of Gu Jue, his face couldn't hide his joy, and hurriedly saluted Gu Jue, "General Sheng! Deputy General Yu!"

Yu Feng also stood aside excitedly, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder heavily, "It's you boy! What's the matter, did you beat Li Rong back?"

The person who came was Lin Luo, the deputy general of the Holy Army who Gu Jue stayed in the north to take care of the remaining tribes.
