"You two are walking very slowly." Chang Yu called to the two of them and sat down around the fire. Li Guo cupped his hands and said, "You can't go as fast as Lord Du Gong by walking one night, so how can you say it's faster?"
After hearing this, Li Muxian finally realized that this was arranged in advance, so he pulled Song Xiance and said, "Fellow Taoist, you are hiding everything."
Song Xiance glanced at Chang Yu and said to Li Muchian with an apologetic look on his face: "It's a secret, fellow Taoist, don't blame me."
As for Tu Yuan and Ji Jike, they were completely dumbfounded. They had no idea that they would appear here. Everyone in the government and the public knew that Li Guo came to the capital to express his gratitude. In fact, it was a hostage. The face saint was not allowed to wander around the capital. He was surrounded by people who were watching overtly and covertly.
Now, how could he be able to leave the capital without anyone noticing? It turns out that the eunuch had already arranged it.
As for why Chang Yu wanted to sneak him out of the capital, Li Muchian was completely confused, let alone the two of them.
Not to mention Li Muxian, even Li Guo and Song Xiance couldn't figure it out after thinking about it all night.
Beforehand, Chang Yu just asked Chunxiang to send him a message: "I will leave Beijing tomorrow and I will wait for you outside the city."
"Master Governor, can you clear up the doubts about your humble position at this time?" Li Guo looked at the young eunuch in front of him with very complicated emotions. He hated the man in front of him extremely, because he was the one who disintegrated the great Dashun regime little by little.
Countless soldiers under his command also lost their lives at his hands, including his beloved adopted son Li Laiheng!
But he admired this young eunuch very much. Even at such a weak age, he was a genius in terms of both his methods and talents!
Chang Yu tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Li Guo: "Fighting and playing tricks in the nest is useless. I will take you out to see the world."
Li Guo took the rabbit leg and fell silent, while Song Xiance and others looked astonished and felt extremely shocked. This great eunuch's vision and structure were really different and incomparable to ordinary people.
"I am a hostage, and the Governor's actions will easily attract trouble." Li Guo sighed after a while.
"The wind that I have summoned has attracted so many black ones, why should I be afraid of one more?" Chang Yu smiled faintly: "You have been on the battlefield for half your life, how can you be content with your quality? It is better to come out than to hide your troubles in the capital.
Breathe it out."
Li Guo smiled and said: "As a humble official, I can eat, drink and have fun in the capital. I am not anxious yet, but I didn't expect the Governor to be anxious first."
"Is this governor impatient?" Chang Yu also smiled: "Are you very patient and wait until your uncle becomes a marquis to be free, or will you wait until your uncle dies and follow him?"
The smile on Li Guo's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked coldly: "Is it just for a look?"
"If you want to move, that's fine." Chang Yu stared at him, his eyes facing each other, his eyes very deep.
"I really underestimated you, or I could say that the heart of a villain has betrayed the heart of a gentleman." Li Guo sighed, took a big mouthful of rabbit meat and started chewing it. Chang Yu chuckled and said, "Why, you think the governor is here?"
Plotting against you?"
Li Guo nodded: "When I heard your message, I really thought that you were going to trick me out of the capital, and then use my escape as an excuse to kill me. Fortunately, Mr. Song came to an explanation and said that you are by no means a villain. If you want to kill me,
I will never use this crude method."
Chang Yu laughed and looked at Song Xiance: "Mr. Song knows this governor well."
Song Xiance smiled slightly and said nothing.
"Then you think this governor is a villain?" Chang Yu asked Li Guo again.
Li Guo laughed and said, "I am definitely not a gentleman. Sometimes I can even say he is despicable and shameless."
"Bold" Tu Yuan made a gesture and drew his sword. Chang Yu waved his hand to stop him and said to Li Guo: "Who among us who leads the troops in the war is a gentleman? A gentleman with courtesy is not tired of loyalty; in battle, he is not tired of deceit! You
I'm all a villain"
Hearing this, Li Guo smiled bitterly and sighed: "I know you are eloquent and eloquent, and you can quote scriptures when you speak. I feel ashamed." Then he changed the topic: "I don't believe you asked me to follow you out of the seclusion just to see, and I don't believe you still want to do it."
It can make me move."
Chang Yu smiled: "Just like I don't believe you came here alone, I still say the same thing, you can see and you can move, but if you don't move on your own, you will never be able to use me.
People and horses.”
Li Guo was silent for a long time: "Well, let me give you some assurance. There are indeed some people around me, but they are only about a dozen dead soldiers. It's okay to stretch my muscles and bones, but it is really difficult to go into a big fight." As he said this, he suddenly
He was startled: "You don't want to use me as cannon fodder and let me die outside openly."
Chang Yu laughed loudly: "You have reminded me that this is indeed a good way to kill you. Well, petitioning to go out and kill the Tatars and die outside Jinzhou City... is indeed not bad."
Li Guo was confused by these words. He couldn't tell the truth from what Chang Yu said. He quickly looked at Song Xiance next to him. Seeing that he was just staring at the bonfire and smiling without saying a word, he looked at Chang Yu again and asked: "What if
I regret not following you now."
"Then you can return to Beijing right away and live your life of fun and leisure." Chang Yu shrugged and smiled.
Li Guo's face turned dark immediately and he ate the rabbit meat silently. Chang Yu didn't say anything, he tore open the rabbit meat and shared it with everyone.
There was a crackle in the bonfire and the sound of people chewing. Li Guo's expression changed again and again under the reflection of the fire, and finally turned into a dull smile: "If you want to kill me, there are endless ways, no matter what I try, I will escape."
If you don’t lose it, it’s better to die calmly than to struggle in a trapped beast, so even if it is your conspiracy this time, I will accept it. Compared to being trapped to death in the capital, it is really better to die in a vigorous battle outside the pass and retain military achievements.
And keep your name clear."
Chang Yu sighed: "You don't have to believe me, but you have to believe Mr. Song. He knows astronomy and geography, and knows people's hearts. Ask him if I have the intention to kill you."
"Your Excellency, that's a ridiculous compliment," Song Xiance said with cupped hands, then looked at Li Guo, smiled slightly and nodded. He couldn't help but secretly cursed this eunuch for being so good at stirring up trouble. No wonder Li Guo said you were treacherous and despicable.
It's true.
The night was getting darker and the chill was getting stronger. When Chang Yu was drowsy in the carriage, he heard someone tapping on the window and asked who it was.
"Duke, do you really have no intention of killing Li Guo?" Li Muxian's deep voice came from outside the car.
"Our family only knows that if anyone disturbs our family's dreams again, we will have the intention to kill him." Chang Yu snorted, and Li Muchian quickly said: "Pindao knows, it was actually Tu Yuan who asked Pindao to ask...
"
"Fuck you, uncle, it's obviously you who came here." Tu Yuan's low and dark curse came from outside the car again.
Chang Yu helplessly turned over and fell asleep with his head covered.
In a jungle outside the camp, a bunch of bonfires were roaring. Song Xiance was curled up in a ball as if he was still asleep. Next to him, Li Guo was staring at the fire ball in a daze with a piece of hay in his mouth. After half a nap, he got up and walked to the river.
The dark night sky fell into deep thought.
"Isn't this really his conspiracy?" Li Guo murmured in a low voice.
"You will definitely die if you stay in the capital, and you will definitely die if you escape at this time. If you go outside the customs, you may have a chance of survival, so what if it is a conspiracy?" Song Xiance appeared behind him at some unknown time.
Li Guo turned his head and smiled: "Sir, you have misunderstood. I have been prepared to die since I came to the capital. It is worthwhile to stabilize the situation with my own life and death. I just really don't understand how he can do it at such a young age."
With such courage and such a plan, he had to jump in even though he saw through it. The golden sword stratagem that has been the number one conspiracy throughout the ages is nothing more than this. From what you can see, sir, is his move a deliberate move or an unintentional one?"
"Young Master can't even understand things, how can a humble person understand them?" Song Xiance shook his head and sighed: "I can't understand others anymore."
"You mean he..."
"Unfathomable" Song Xiance took a long breath: "From the momentum, from the demeanor to the luck, the more I look at it, the more confused I become!"
Li Guo stared for a long time, "Fortunately he is an eunuch." He said and glanced at Song Xiance again: "Sir, I'm afraid the more you watch, the more you become fascinated, but the more you watch, the more scared you become."
