The new emperor paid a private visit incognito to observe the public sentiment, so naturally he did not bring many people with him. Gongsun Yu accompanied him, and a group of civil and military officers and others followed closely behind. Of course, Gongsun Yu had secretly ordered some civil servants to replace Luan Yue with warriors, and arranged for warriors to secretly protect the new emperor along the way.
But within three or five days of leaving the palace, the new emperor had already experienced what he should have experienced. Gongsun Yu listened to Qi'er's plan and replaced all the farmers there with people who had specially arranged to go there. He was about to return to the palace and didn't see the assassin. Gongsun Yu thought Qi'er was lying to him, but he thought it was good to have a safe journey.
Approaching the courtyard wall outside the palace and about to enter the palace, many people relaxed their vigilance. Just when everyone thought it was safe, they saw many people who looked like refugees walking here. Gongsun Yu was curious, how could there be refugees in this place? Suddenly the vigilance increased greatly.
Gongsun Yu, the new emperor and other officials continued on their way back to the palace, but suddenly they saw a group of hidden masked men in black stabbing the new emperor with swords.
Gongsun Yu and some bodyguards pretending to be ministers immediately escorted him.
The purpose of those assassins was too obvious. They were all targeting the new emperor. They were so frightened that the little emperor turned pale. Fortunately, Gongsun Yu and others worked hard to protect the new emperor from being injured. The assassins were all Kung Fu masters and there were too many of them. They were defeated. One group after another came, and it seemed that as Qi'er said, they had a premeditated plan.
Since there were too many assassins and they had to protect the little emperor and several important ministers who didn't know kung fu, they naturally couldn't be willing to fight. At this time, the group of refugees in the distance actually came to kill them. Gongsun Yu was shocked because he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend?
The group of refugees came to help Gongsun Yu and the others. The assassins were quickly killed and retreated, and several of the assassins who could not escape actually hanged themselves.
After the group of refugees saluted the new emperor and Gongsun Yu, Gongsun Yu saw that these were not the people in Jingyi Pavilion in his house. I was very surprised and asked them how they were dressed as gangsters and what was going on?
Guo Wu smiled and said, "Isn't that Qi'er, who pretended to be here for us to come, saying that there are bandits here? We also wonder that there are guards outside the palace to protect the palace. Even if there are bandits who are protecting the palace, they are still refugees. ?”
"He's not with you?" Gongsun Yu asked.
Guo Wudao: "We came together, hey! Where are the others? Couldn't they be killed because they don't know Kung Fu?"
Gongsun Yu and others escorted the new emperor back to the palace and ordered Luan Yue to find Qi'er.
Since Lou Xiping knew the Empress Dowager's plan, Empress Dowager Lou's wishful thinking failed this time. This time it was Qi'er's help that saved the day. She was usually at odds with Qi'er. This made Lou Xiping hate Qi'er even more.
Of course Qi'er also knew that Lou Xiping would not give up, and he was not good at kung fu. He thought that he would stay in Gongsun's mansion no matter what.
When Qi'er played the role of a refugee, she pretended to fall down a hillside. She pretended to be scarred and looked sick. She told Gongsun Yu that Lou Xiping would definitely not let her go this time.
Gongsun Yu clearly knew that Empress Dowager Lou and the others had done this intentionally. But there was no evidence, but coming from Qi'er's mouth made him even more suspicious. Isn't Qi'er from Empress Dowager Lou? So who is he? If it were really the Empress Dowager Lou, Lou Xiping could not have targeted Qi'er like this. Could it be that I am being overly concerned?
Gongsun Yu pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Why won't Lou Xiping let you go?"
Qi'er also guessed that Gongsun Yu must know that the assassination of the new emperor was related to the Lou Party, but I couldn't say why I knew it. Forget it, let’s just pretend.
Qi'er sighed and said, "I'm afraid my arms and legs won't work anymore. The Gongsun family is so rich, why don't they kill the donkey?" After saying this, he leaned on the table limply.
Gongsun Yu understood what he meant and asked him to stay in Gongsun's mansion to recuperate.
Qi'er once again entered the mansion as he wished and lived in Jingyi Pavilion. This made him feel so happy that he could not hide his joy.
This made Gongsun Yu a little confused. He was not from the Lou Party, so why did he insist on staying in the Gongsun Mansion?
Most of the people living in Jingyi Pavilion were guests of Gongsun Mansion. They lived with a beggar, so their anger naturally aroused. But after all, the little beggar helped Gongsun Yu a lot this time, so everyone dared not speak out.
Luan Yue entered Bo Yunxuan and saw Gongsun Yu. He answered without waiting for questions, "The captain who was in charge of the Imperial Guards died at home last night. There is no one to lead the Imperial Guards today. That's why we were fighting outside and no Imperial Guards showed up." .”
Gongsun Yu said, "I was negligent in not arranging people outside the palace walls. Because there are guards inside and outside the palace walls, and there are special guards to protect the safety inside and outside the palace walls. I didn't expect that they would attack at the place that everyone thinks is the safest." ." He was a little scared as he spoke.
Luan Yue immediately said, "If you send someone to protect the new emperor within the safety range of the guards, those who are interested will definitely read the master's book and say that you have exceeded the rules. It was the master who neglected this point because he considered the power." After speaking, he said angrily, " I didn’t expect the Lou faction to take action against the guards of the Forbidden Army, but even if there is no captain of the guard outside the palace wall, the guards should not be so quiet, someone must be operating secretly."
Gongsun Yu said, "Jingyi Pavilion can even put people in, not to mention the important Imperial Guards. Go investigate and find out who the Imperial Guards are from the Anli Lou faction. If you can, use them. If you can't, don't show up in the capital."
Luan Yue said immediately, "Yes!" After saying that, she said happily, "Fortunately, Qi'er deceived the warriors in the house to pretend to be refugees, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Gongsun Yu laughed at himself, "Qi'er actually knows that the person behind the scenes this time is related to Lou Xiping, but the Privy Council can't find out?"
Luan Yue suddenly felt her face turn red, "If I ask Qi'er, will he tell me?"
Gongsun Yu didn't even think about it and said, "It's not like you haven't seen him being naughty before. He probably doesn't understand soft and hard."
Luan Yue didn't understand and asked Gongsun Yu, "Master, this Qi'er is pretending to be injured at first sight. Why do you let him live in Jingyi Pavilion again?"
Gongsun Yu looked at a jar of vibrant lotus flowers with comfort, and said quietly, "If he hadn't appeared in time with Guo Wu and the others, it would have caused a catastrophe this time. Let him stay, I want to see his Purpose."
Gongsun Yu still did not relax his guard against Qi'er, and ordered Luan Yue to find out what happened to Qi'er as soon as possible. Even though the assassin was killed this time, he still conducted a thorough investigation to see if he could pull out the mastermind behind the scenes. Although we know who it is, we can’t do it without evidence.
Gongsun Yu came back from the palace and thought about it, it was risky. The people he arranged in such detail for the new emperor to observe the people's sentiments and contact him were all pretending to be sent by himself. He didn't expect to encounter an assassin when he arrived at the palace. This was something he didn't expect. Thinking of the day when Qi'er said that she called Empress Dowager Lou "old woman" when she was dreaming, I couldn't help but chuckle to myself and said, "Old woman?" But I was very curious about how Qi'er knew the news?
Gongsun Yu has always been suspicious of Qi'er's identity, and he is even more suspicious when he thinks of everything she has done. Do you often try to figure out her purpose? Sometimes I get curious when I think of her being naughty. Is this little beggar a bit noble? Suddenly I was shocked again, I actually often test a beggar? This feels weird. Although I don’t have a wife, I am still a normal person after all. How can I be curious about the same sex?
Lou Xiping knew that almost all the people in Gufengtang were wiped out, and only a seriously injured Ye Laosan staggered out.
Lou Xiping had never known how good Gongsun Yu was in Kungfu before. After all, he was injured and almost crippled because there were many warriors in the house and he hardly stood out from the crowd. If he hadn't fought to protect the new emperor this time, others might still have believed in his weak body.
Lou Xiping was furious at home because his plan failed. He beat and scolded his subordinates and roared like thunder. When Gao Yan found out, he naturally comforted him, "If it were so easy to assassinate the king and kill him, how wonderful history would be. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. , maybe we were negligent this time, but we will be more careful next time and never allow any counterattack."
Lou Xiping was still aggrieved and said, "How can there be so many reasons to go directly to the palace and drive the little emperor out.
Gao Yan said, "Don't just lose your temper and not use your brain. You won't be able to sit still if your name is not justified. I know you are angry because your long-term plan has failed and you feel uncomfortable, but those who achieve great things must have enough patience. Don't Follow your temper."
Lou Xiping was relieved and could only wait for the next opportunity.
It was naturally inappropriate for Qi'er to be a beggar living in Gongsun Yu's mansion. Fortunately, after helping Gongsun Yu, the guests and warriors no longer spoke sarcastically of him.
Gongsun Yu saw that Qi'er was pretending to be seriously ill, so he deliberately asked Luan Yue to find Xiao Si to take care of him.
Qi'er told Luan Yue to find a more beautiful maid.
Luan Yue didn't understand why, Qi'er said that she had never seen a beautiful woman, so finding a prettier maid to serve her would be her wish even if she died.
Gongsun Yu thought about it and helped him by asking Luan Yue to find a careful maid.
Xia Zhu, the maid in Gongsun's mansion, said that the beggar's clothes Qi'er was wearing were detrimental to the face of Gongsun's mansion, so she brought him clean clothes to change into.
Qi'er asked Xia Zhu to help fetch bath water, and told him to put tea leaves and salt in the water.
Xia Zhu didn't understand why he asked Qi'er.
Qi'er said, "It can kill bacteria and improve fragrance."
After Qi'er finished taking a bath, Xia Zhu wanted to throw away Qi'er's clothes. Frightened, Qi'er asked Xia Zhu to take his beggar's clothes to wash and told him not to throw them away. Seeing that she cared so much about the beggar's uniform, Xia Zhu promised her to wash it and bring it back as soon as possible.
However, Qi'er didn't wear the clothes that Xia Zhu brought, and put on her own beggar's clothes again.
No matter what Xia Zhu said, he couldn't convince Qi'er.
Qi'er said that if he kept the beggar's clothes, he might still be able to use them when he went out. If he was begging without his clothes, who would give him money?
Xia Zhu naturally felt that something was wrong with Qi'er and looked at him, but Qi'er's speech and behavior were so different that Xia Zhu didn't dare to judge whether his information was accurate.
After Gongsun Yu found out, he stopped letting people embarrass him.
