Chapter six hundred and fifty fifth hiding place
When Du Bailou, Yan Xu and Han Yu came forward, the three officials acted separately and started to investigate inch by inch from the center of the execution ground to the surrounding area, Liu Guofeng, who was initially knocked out when he escaped, gradually woke up. He turned his neck with difficulty, and then he realized that he was soaking naked in a pool of warm water.
That's right, it's a pool of warm water, not a bucket of hot water.
Liu Guofeng was not from a wealthy family. Although he was the head disciple in Tianqiao Pavilion, his life was only a little better than that of ordinary disciples. For the first time in his life, he witnessed the luxury of such white jade as a pool. He stared at the jade-like phoenix head that kept gushing out of hot water. He opened his mouth to call people and wanted to speak, but those countless words came to his mouth and eventually turned into a sigh.
Even if a cannibal like him struggles all his life, he may be able to achieve such a rich and rich fortune?
"I feel relieved when I see you," she said.
Capturing the sound from behind, Liu Guofeng's body stiffened for a moment, but it quickly relaxed. Now that his qi and blood were broken, his meridians were severely damaged. Even if the tendons and legs were not broken, it was already considered that the elders of Tianqiao Pavilion had given their gratitude, but he could not feel any gratitude. Therefore, he didn't think there was anything more important than life.
"Your Excellency has worked hard to save me a useless person. Do you need me to do anything? Please tell me clearly that as long as you can do it, you will never refuse."
"Haha, you are indeed a person who knows the current affairs. No wonder Xiao Qingqing treated you as a half-apprentice, and gave you so many resources to climb to such a high position in Tianqiao Pavilion. However, Xiao Qingqing disappeared, and Xiao Jingjing's so-called suicide was spread, you immediately became interested in snatching the Red Moon Palace. He was extremely cold-blooded and heartless. I am afraid that when you went to chase Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning at that time, you thought that after the matter was done, you would rely on this great contribution to the big Yan?"
Liu Guofeng didn't care about being exposed to the old scar. He was an extremely utilitarian person. As long as the final result was beneficial to him, even if he was scolded by others, he could bear it for the time being. At this moment, he captured the two most important words in this sentence, Da Yan, and couldn't help but have his own guesses about the identity of the visitor.
"The Lord is from the Beiyan Qiushu Department? Let me guess more boldly... Are you the Deputy Envoy of the Qiushu Department Lou Ying, the Chief Lou?"
After a moment of silence, Liu Guofeng finally waited for the answer: "You are indeed smarter than I thought. Not bad, I am Lou Yingchang. You don't have to guess why I risked death and returned to Jinling, the capital of the Southern Wu Kingdom. It's very simple, because the third prince and the twelfth princess arrived in Shangjing safely, and the Emperor of Dayan also planned to appoint the third prince as the crown prince."
The news revealed in the second half of the story is that even many high-ranking officials and nobles in Jinling City do not know, let alone Liu Guofeng, a death row prisoner.
He had no grudges with the third prince, nor had he even seen him, but just by just a few words he had heard, he knew that the humble, cowardly and incompetent prince was thrown into the top of Jinling City by Lou Yingchang. Now after going through a lot of hardships, he transformed into the East Palace and wanted to enter the Eastern Palace. He would hate Lou Yingchang very much. Since this is the case, the other party's purpose of returning to Jinling is about to come out.
It’s nothing more than seeking life in death, hoping to make a big fuss here, so I will make atonement for my sins... No, maybe it’s not just atonement for my sins, but it’s a huge storm that will make the third prince step down!
Liu Guofeng was not afraid that Lou Ying had any unspeakable purpose, because only if the other party wanted to cause a big storm, then there was a reason to save him, and he had such a little pitiful value. He took a deep breath, and then asked in a deep voice without looking back: "Since Lord Lou came to Jinling with no choice, why did he use so many people to save me?"
"My secret line of Qiu Shunshi was almost uprooted by Nan Wu Sanshi because of a fool. Where can I use someone to save you?" Lou Yingchang stood with his hands behind his back and smiled, "The person who saved you has nothing to do with me, that's the person you know. I just provided them with a little convenience, for example, this safe place to live now, that's all."
Someone I know?
With a flash of thought, countless faces seemed to flash past him, but were eventually denied one by one. Just as he calmed down again and wanted to ask clearly, the other party did not keep it in a silence, but gave an answer that surprised him.
"You should be very familiar with the three uncles and nephews of the Tianqiao Pavilion, right?"
It turned out to be them!
Liu Guofeng only felt incredible. He naturally would not forget the cold-eyed family in the sect. Their disability and withdrawal made some people stay away from them, while others dislike them very much.
He did not really sympathize with them, but because Xiao Qingqing mentioned to him that Gongshu Ye was proficient in authentic arts and allowed him to win over such a talent. As for Gongshu A and Gongshu B... they are already good to be an uncle, so it is not easy to be polite to their two nephews? Of course, this is not a day or two, but the result of his hard work over the years.
But now, just as Tianqiaoge deemed him a traitor and then he committed such a great sin, their uncle and nephew would come to save him? Do they know what the serious sin of robbing the law field?
Even though he never believed in the true friendship between people in his life, at this moment, Liu Guofeng only felt that he didn't know what it felt. He tried his best to calm down his unprecedented agitation and said in a casual tone: "It turned out to be them. I really didn't expect that I would have such a confidant in my life. Can Lord Lou let me see them?"
"Of course, you can. You can say whatever you want, and I will avoid it first."
Regardless of whether Liu Guofeng could see it, Lou Ying nodded slightly and turned around and quietly left the luxurious bathroom. He heard a slight sound of water coming from behind, as if the person inside was washing the water. His movements were gentle and meticulous. While he walked slowly, he said to himself: "After escaping from death, he still cared about whether his body was dirty. It seems that I did not see the wrong person."
When he arrived at the door, he ordered the two entourages waiting outside to take Gongshu to see Liu Guofeng, and then he calmly walked along the path to the other side.
He was walking leisurely in the courtyard as if he was walking in his backyard. When he finally entered a quiet small yard, he smiled and nodded at several maids. Seeing that they were hustled down and dared not look again, he withdrew one after another, and then came to the door of the main room.
Because there were thick curtains hanging at the door, Lou Yingchang did not knock on the door in vain, but coughed lightly, then opened the door curtain and crossed the threshold to enter. There were three rooms in the room in total, but there was no partition. They were only divided into the area where guests lived, the dormitory area in the west, and the study area in the east. His eyes just glanced at the furnishings and turned around the screen in the west.
By the window is a fir-carved bed. It doesn't look luxurious at first glance, but when you look closely, the carvings are extremely exquisite, especially the vines with bunches of grapes on it are lifelike. Thinking of the thought of the many children and grandchildren, he couldn't help but smile, then stepped forward and sat down on the edge of the bed without any scruples.
"Is the prince better?"
As soon as the man came in, Li Chongming's whole body became stiff, and his shoulders were trembling slightly at this time. He was not scared, but angry. He took a deep breath, his voice was sharp and thin.
"Did you treat this Jiawang Mansion villa as your own backyard? I am now so sick that I am half dead, and the imperial doctor will come here every now and then. Do you believe it or not when the imperial doctor comes to take the pulse, I made it clear to him that you actually hid here?"
"Criminal, don't be excited, of course I believe it." Lou Yingchang seemed to be considerate of the old servant, and tucked the quilt for Li Chongming with his own hands. Seeing that he was so angry that his face turned red, he then withdrew his hand and said calmly, "No matter what the prince does, when the prince's chief Lin Zhining made a fuss in Xuandao Hall before, your father was the first to be affected, and you can't escape it either. At this point, do you think that by raising me, the deputy envoy of Qiushou, who is actually hidden by you, can you regain the holy family and compete with the future prince?"
Li Chongming's tightly clenched fist unconsciously released it, but his teeth still bit his lips tightly, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing his expression, Lou Yingchang, who was best at playing with people's hearts, said with a smile: "Besides, you, the grass, trees, pavilions and cubes in the villa in the Jiawang Mansion, are many of them arranged by me. The servants who have been guarding the house for many years have always been waiting for you and your parents with hopeless hopelessness, who are likely to never come here. Instead, they have more opportunities to meet me. So, when you don't know, this Jiawang Mansion has become the base camp of the Dayan Qiu Safari Department."
These words were like poisonous juice, which made Li Chongming want to raise his hand to cover his ears. However, he had to listen, because missing any sentence from the other party at this moment could cause himself to fall into an unfathomable abyss. He did not ask you in vain what you wanted or something like that, but just stared at Lou Ying's eyes.
"Don't worry, I don't want to die yet, so naturally I won't drag you and so many people from the Jiawang Mansion to go to a dead end. Three of the four people who are visiting you are really talented. But because of their disability and introvert, such talents were abandoned, which is a pity. To be honest, I really want to send them to Dayan."
Seeing that Li Chongming's face suddenly became dark, Lou Yingchang shook his head and said, "I, the deputy envoy of Qiushou, have been in Nanwu for a long time. When I saw the talent, I wanted to send Dayan. This was how Xu Changhou went there before. Unfortunately, I didn't expect that he would be so lucky and climb so fast. In the end, he would not even fall back on Lord Wang. But I don't regret it."
"This kind of talent who can be prosperous in Dayan can only live in a corner in Nanwu and be a warrior who is worried about his life all day long. Just like Gongshu's three uncles and nephews, who were abandoned in Tianqiao Pavilion as if they were abandoned."
Li Chongming finally couldn't help it: "You don't need to be clever and despicable! I don't believe that in Northern Yan, you can do your best to make the best use of everything and people!"
"Of course not, but I, Emperor Yan, at least, know how to remove the old and use new talents in a regular manner."
"That's because he killed all the people he disliked, so there was no one available at all. If he pulled a talent, he would immediately use it. He didn't even care about his character! However, while he used it and killed it, no matter how many talents he had, he could not fill his killing hands!"
Seeing Lou Yingchang's face changing suddenly, he suddenly reached out to grab his neck. Li Chongming subconsciously closed his eyes, but his heart was filled with fear and a little hope. If he was killed by the other party here, his absurd life would be relieved! However, he felt that his throat was pressed by a cold hand, and soon, the hand was retracted.
"Please don't challenge my restraint. Although I think I have good abilities in this area, sometimes I can't help but miss it."
After saying a coldly, seeing that Li Chongming's eyes were still closed, as if he didn't want to say more to him, Lou Yingchang stood up and said lightly: "Nanwu sent a third prince back to disturb my Dayan court. Then, I came to Nanwu alone and naturally planned to do this as usual. The third prince is at least the son of Emperor Dayan, but the identity of King Ying is hard to say."
He paused and said in a deep voice: "The prince should have had corresponding guesses, right? Although the letter that Lin Zhining oralized had been submitted to the Emperor of Southern Wu, it does not mean that it is not credible. Taking a step back, even if someone pretends to be faked, compared with the King of England, Li Yiming, who has a suspicious life experience, you and your father and son are the royal family's legitimate lineage."
"Your father was seen by the Empress Dowager, nodded in person, and was adopted son who was raised in the palace. King Ying Li Yiming used to be a mystery to his biological mother. Now it seems that it is hard to say who his father is."
As Lou Yingchang said, he stood up and walked out. When he was about to walk to the screen, he turned slightly and said, "I didn't expect to turn Nan Wutian upside down and split up, but it was just one return to one return. I hope that the father of the prince in the future, or the prince himself, can recognize the reality after ascending the throne. Both countries have been in a confrontation for a hundred years, so why not continue to maintain the status quo?"
"Harmony is the most important thing. Once a war starts, how many people will die if the war is on the sky?"
Seeing Lou Yingchang throwing off these seemingly compassionate words and disappearing from sight, Li Chongming's nerves that had been tense for a long time instantly relaxed, but what followed was irresistible fatigue.
He put his hands on his cold forehead and knew in his heart that he should immediately leave the Jiawang Mansion villa, ask the emperor to meet with the emperor to explain the whole story clearly, but he told him both rationally and emotionally, and he could not do it.
Even if he can go out, the emperor may be able to trust him, but he is called the fourth uncle, the King of England Li Yiming... He has been against the little fat man from the beginning. Before, when he was in Xuandao Hall, the other party was able to act twice to show his goodbye. Then this time, of course, the other party can also express tolerance in person. However, after the people ascend to the throne in the future, will they still tolerate him?
Who can tolerate such a deep thorn in his heart?
Moreover, the villa of Prince Jia’s Mansion was penetrated by Chief Lou Ying, just like his own backyard, and there was no news that could be spread!
Thinking of this, Li Chongming tried his best to turn over and sit up, stumbled around the room for a while, and finally found an old handkerchief. He spread it flat, then bit his finger and wrote it on it quickly. When he finally wrote dozens of words, he folded it neatly and hid it close to his body, and made up his mind for a moment.
