Ge Cifeng and Ge Yigang finally left the palace safely. Zhao Yizhi did not punish them, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. They all met the harsh conditions of entering Beijing as hostage, but they came a few days early, so there was no way they could commit the crime of beheading.
But just because Ge Cifeng and his son were able to walk out of the palace, it didn't mean that Zhao Yizhi would let them go. As soon as they walked out of the palace, there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark. The guards around Ge Cifeng noticed it, but they were helpless because they were in the capital.
Walking on the streets of the capital, Ge Cifeng was worried. The little emperor was not a fatuous king as rumored. Instead, he was very smart, terrifyingly smart. As soon as they met, he revealed his original intention. Seeing that Ge Yigang took over the conversation first, he immediately started testing again.
"Excessive wisdom is easy to break..." Ge Cifeng stroked Ge Yigang's little head lovingly, thinking about countermeasures.
Ge Cifeng has not practiced martial arts and does not understand what the "killing intention" mentioned by those martial artists is about. But from Zhao Yizhi's words, Ge Cifeng could feel a hint of danger.
"What's wrong? Gang'er? Why do you look unhappy? Didn't you have a happy chat with His Majesty in the palace just now?" Ge Cifeng accidentally glanced at Ge Yigang and found that the little guy looked a little depressed.
Ge Yigang pouted and said, "That sister is missing! You don't want to thank me for saving me!"
After being reminded by his son, Ge Cifeng remembered the beauty he had just seen in the crowd. After thinking about it for thousands of times, he suddenly realized: The girl is clearly dressed like an ordinary person, and she only belongs to a wealthy family with two maids. Why did Chen Congwei come to look for her? In the end, the sword-wielding Chen Congwei was still willing to protect her and leave? If she were there to protect Ganger, would the little emperor just let us go?
Ge Cifeng was thinking wildly, but found that he didn't even know who the woman was, so he had to squat down, stare at Ge Yigang and asked: "Gang'er, have you heard what other people called that sister? Dad will find it, okay Thank you sister for your life-saving grace."
"Well... I only heard the two sisters next to the beautiful sister calling her 'Sister Yue'er', and I didn't care about the rest..."
Ge Cifeng asked the guards: "When will Wuji and the others arrive?"
"According to the original plan, it will take about three days to arrive in the capital." The guard "A" beside him replied.
"You guys fought against Chen Congwei, how was your martial arts?" Ge Cifeng asked Xiang Bing and Ding.
B replied: "No one can defeat him."
"What about those two people?"
"If there are two people, Chen Congwei can work hard... maybe we can tie." The two suffered a loss and did not dare to take advantage of it.
Ge Cifeng snorted coldly: "Huh, you have the nerve to say it's a tie after three of your teeth were knocked out." One sentence made the two of them feel ashamed, and Ding was even more embarrassed. He immediately moved his mouth to bite the medicine in his mouth. Bag.
Ge Cifeng did not look back, but he was also aware of the two men's actions and said: "Forget it, now is the time when we are short of people, so don't cause any trouble to me."
B gently bumped Ding with his elbow to stop him. Ding put the medicine bag back in his mouth, not daring to raise his head.
Ge Cifeng kept walking and gradually led A and B away, and Bing Ding quickly followed.
"Wait for three days. When Wuji and the others arrive, you should search the capital carefully and find that Yue'er girl. I want to thank that Yue'er girl for saving her life." Ge Cifeng's voice floated. Come, fortunately there are not many pedestrians here.
In the palace, Zhao Yizhi returned to the royal study, sat on the dragon chair and frowned, not worried about anything else but his own consciousness.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it was obvious that neither father nor son were easy to get along with. Although Ge Cifeng didn't speak much, it was obvious that he was hiding his clumsiness. Looking at ancient and modern times, whoever came to Beijing to be a proton didn't do it with his tail between his legs? This Ge Cifeng knows how to save his life.
What worries Zhao Yizhi even more is the little guy, Ge Yigang. When he explained the reason for coming to Beijing, he thought it was his father who taught him. Later, he suddenly wanted to defeat Ge Cifeng, but he was also beaten by that little guy. The guy said something nice and got over it. This was Zhao Yizhi's own impromptu idea. Ge Cifeng could not predict the situation beforehand and taught him good words in advance to answer fluently. Besides, Ge Cifeng himself was hiding his weakness to protect himself, and there was no reason for his son to show off and risk his own life.
"My consciousness is damaged..." Zhao Yizhi felt agitated for no reason.
"Your Majesty." Someone outside the royal study asked for instructions.
Zhao Yizhi recognized Qingtian's voice and called in: "What's the matter?"
"Zangyun has something to say, and wants me to bring it to Your Majesty. The two people around Prince Chu Xiang who fought with us are both dead soldiers, and the other two are unknown. I might have bad intentions when I enter the capital this time, so Your Majesty must be careful. "
Zhao Yizhi waved his hand and said: "It is normal for a prince to have several dead soldiers around him, so don't make too much of a fuss."
Qingtian was about to speak but stopped, Zhao Yizhi saw Qingtian like this and said, "But it doesn't matter."
"Your Majesty doesn't know something. Although dead soldiers are common, dead soldiers with high martial arts skills are rare." Qingtian said bluntly.
"Why is this?" Zhao Yizhi became interested.
Qingtian replied: "Those with strong martial arts skills are either rich or noble. As the saying goes, the poor do not practice martial arts, and the rich do not teach. Anyway... Your Majesty, I don't know what to say. If there are people with strong martial arts skills who will serve as death warriors for this prince. , that means there are more people with higher martial arts skills in Chuxiang. But Nanhuai is so rich, but there are no dead soldiers..."
Qingtian's words were unclear, and the preface and the follower were inconsistent, but Zhao Yizhi understood clearly: "You want to say that the wealthy Nanhuai can't even cultivate strong warriors with martial arts, but Chu Xiang not only did it, There is still enough energy left to allocate dead soldiers to protect the prince, which shows that Chu Xiang's strength is unfathomable?"
Qingtian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's what it means. Your Majesty is a wise man. He made it clear at once."
Zhao Yizhi smiled and said: "Okay, okay, don't imitate Wang Zhenliang's flattery, go down, I understand."
Qingtian stepped back in response, leaving Zhao Yizhi alone in the imperial study.
"The imperial court has the Shen Ji Faction to help them, and they are only the Twelve Chen Guards. This Chu Xiang... I want these two people to be hostage in the capital, so will they deliberately delay time because of this..." Zhao Yizhi's heart trembled, Seeing the sun setting outside, I quickly sat cross-legged to rest my mind and accumulate energy.
In the palace, in a dilapidated house in a corner, Hu Lishan was devouring snow-topped cake: "Sweet, it's really sweet. Brother Yi didn't lie to me. It melts in your mouth and doesn't get stuck in your teeth! It's just a little dry after eating too much. I want to drink water..." Hu Lishan said to himself, divided the remaining snow-top cake into a small piece, threw it into the mouse hole in the corner, carefully wrapped the rest and put it in a cabinet.
After putting away the snow cake, Hu Lishan sat back on the stool, rubbing his hands and looking at the delicacies in front of him: a fried fish, four or five sausages, mushrooms, some bean cakes, and of course, Yi Xiaodao was delivered Hu Lishan drank less than half of the two jugs of wine at 1 o'clock every day.
Hu Lishan grabbed a piece of sausage with his hands and took a bite. He was so beautiful that he squinted his eyes and said, "Yeah! It smells good! This Wancheng is such a good place. Why is this sausage so fragrant? It smells like wine. With wine, Delicious! Excellent!”
A person opened the door gently outside the house and walked in without saying a word.
Hu Lishan turned around and asked, "Who are you?"
"Master Hu's rats are all over the capital. How can you still not know who I am? I have heard about the reputation of the hero for a long time, so I came here to make acquaintance." The visitor said.
Hu Lishan put down the sausage in his hand and said with a smile: "Oh, why would you want to make friends with a prisoner like me? I'm afraid it will disgrace your reputation."
"I don't know what kind of benefits Yi Xiaodao gave Hu Daxia, so that Hu Daxia was willing to work for him. If Yi Xiaodao can afford it, can't I afford it?" The person came to the table and was talking. When he was about to sit down, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a little mouse on the stool. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he simply stood aside without sitting down.
"If you want to ask me anything, just ask me. I just rely on the news to make a living. I don't ask for anything. I just ask you to be lenient and let me go." Hu Lishan naturally caught a glimpse of the disgust in the visitor's eyes. He turned his head and said.
"The prince of Chu Xiang, Ge Cifeng, has entered the capital. I believe Hu Daxia knows about it, right?" the visitor asked tentatively.
"The dead soldiers around him all carry secret medicine. The rats dare not approach them. They can only know their general whereabouts, but cannot find out the details." Hu Lishan said bluntly.
The visitor was shocked: "Are you surrounded by dead soldiers? Those two who fought Zangyun in the downtown area today?"
Hu Lishan nodded and said nothing.
"Chu Xiang, a dead warrior who can fight against Zangyun, really has a strong family background."
Hu Lishan said nothing and allowed the visitor to talk to himself.
"Master Hu, there is something else I don't know. Please tell me something." The visitor asked Hu Lishan.
"How do I know what you know and what you don't know?" Hu Lishan rolled his eyes.
The visitor smiled and said: "Master Hu, do you think the beauty trap is feasible?"
Hu Lishan laughed and said: "Hahahaha, the prince of Chu Xiang is not a womanizer. It is not only known to the whole world, but it must be known both inside and outside the court. I am afraid that you are using the wrong strategy."
"Did you really use it wrong?" The visitor stared at Hu Lishan, his smile not diminishing.
Hu Lishan looked at the person who came, reacted for a moment, and said sternly: "Yi Xiaodao is my brother, and He Yue'er is my sister-in-law! If you dare to do this, I...I will tell your majesty, if Yi Xiaodao knows about it , delaying Donglu’s affairs, what good will it do to you!”
"I don't understand, but how can a woman be as important as the world? But from the importance His Majesty attaches to He Yue'er, we can know how important He Yue'er is to Yi Xiaodao. Don't worry, Master Hu, I won't mess around either Come, after all, Your Majesty and I attended the wedding of Yi Xiaodao and He Yue'er! I just wanted to use her as a bait to hook Ge Cifeng. Their Chu Xiang delaying strategy was exactly what I wanted, I arranged it Things will take a long time!"
Hu Lishan refused: "I will never do this. If you insist on doing this, don't blame Hu for meddling in other people's business!"
The visitor nodded repeatedly: "Yi Xiaodao is really lucky. He used this sausage and the vulgar farm stuff to win over Hu Daxia. If Hu Daxia likes it, from now on, I will make a copy of the dishes from the royal dining room in the palace at home and send them to you." , how satisfied are you, the custody hero?"
"If you don't leave, don't blame Hu's rat for not recognizing anyone!" Hu Lishan threatened, as if in response to Hu Lishan's words, pairs of green eyes in the mouse hole looked outside, ready to go out at any time.
The visitor was so frightened that he took two steps back and could only smile and said: "Okay, I won't disturb Mr. Hu anymore. I'll take my leave."
The man turned around and walked out of the house and left. Hu Lishan walked to the door and closed it: "A famous family engages in dirty tricks all day long..."
Hu Lishan turned to look at the mouse hole, and those green eyes were now staring at Hu Lishan. Hu Lishan was not afraid at all and waved his hand: "Why are you still standing there? Go and protect my sister-in-law!"
