Eight hundred and ninetieth eight chapters chase, regret
"Drive---Drive---!"
"Get out of the way---get out of the way---!"
I saw a pair of men and horses galloping out from the north city gate. Pedestrians on the road dodged one after another, and it was noisy for a while.
Pharmacist Guo, Pharmacist Guo, you son of a bitch, if I catch you, I will kill you on the spot to avoid future troubles. Li Qi was riding on the horse, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he kept waving his whip.
Yue Fei who was following him was curious and worried when he saw Li Qi chasing him to death. He closely guarded him, but he thought in his heart, this Guo Pharmacist has not shown any talents in the army. Why?
Bu Shuai would be so nervous about him.
Running all the way north, Li Qi seemed to have forgotten everything and only thought about Yaoshi Guo. It was not until a large river seemed to be hanging in mid-air blocked him that he stopped. It turned out that he had unknowingly...
He had arrived at the Yellow River. Looking at the surging water, his whole body began to tremble, and the hand holding the reins made a rattling sound.
The soldiers following him had never seen Gui Jianchou like this before, and they didn't dare to say anything for a while and lowered their heads, fearing that Gui Jianchou would go crazy and hurt innocent people.
Yue Fei saw that Li Qi's eyes were bloodshot and he was staring at the surging river in front of him with a ferocious expression. He couldn't figure out what Li Qi was thinking for a while, but except for him, no one dared to come forward to ask, so he had to bite the bullet.
He shouted in front of his head: "Bu Shuai, Bu Shuai."
Li Qi suddenly laughed a few times, and then burst out laughing again. The laughter was full of self-deprecation, anger, and sarcasm.
The sudden laughter made the soldiers on the side feel terrified. They were deeply afraid that Li Qi would ask them to jump into the river.
After laughing for a long time, Li Qi stopped. He pointed toward the river and said, "You---."
Halfway through his words, the others were shocked.
Then I heard Li Qi say: "Go and ask a boatman."
It turned out that we were asked to ask the boatman. The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly looked in both directions.
Yue Fei naturally didn't need to go, so he asked cautiously: "Bu Shuai, what happened?"
Li Qi did not answer but asked: "Yue Fei, do you believe in fate?"
Yue Fei was stunned and shook his head.
Li Qi smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "I don't believe it either, but the facts force me to believe that no matter how hard I try, some things seem to be a foregone conclusion and you can't change it even if you want to. Sometimes, I really feel that I
Like a clown under God. I jump up and down, but God only needs to burp and sneeze, and all my efforts will be in vain."
The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and the more unwilling he became, he pointed his horsewhip in the sky and cursed angrily: "Son of a bitch, why don't you kill me with an electric shock."
Yue Fei was confused when he heard this. He could never have imagined that Li Qi had already predicted that Medicine Master Guo would turn against his will, and that this person would bring endless disasters to the Song Dynasty.
The two of them just stared at the rolling river without saying a word.
After a long time, a soldier came over with a boatman and reported: "Report to Commander Bu. The boatman said that he saw the deputy commander had already crossed the river in the morning."
Li Qi turned to look at the boatman and asked, "Really?"
The boatman looked a little scared and said nervously: "Little---I don't know very well, but the man I saw was similar to what the official described. The man seemed to be in a hurry to cross the river and even risked his life.
The price was ten times the price. At that time, I was still envious of the boatman, so I remember it more clearly."
Li Qi was stunned and speechless.
Yue Fei said: "Bu Shuai, should we still pursue him?"
"Can you still catch me?"
Li Qi shook his head and said calmly: "Give him some money and let's go back."
The group of people returned the same way.
...
...
Taiwei Mansion.
"Huh? Li Qi, you came to play with me. Just in time, Chai Cong and I made an appointment to go to Yingchun Building. Let's go together and I'll be the host." Gao Yanei was about to go out when he suddenly saw Li Qi coming from the door.
He ran over immediately, his face full of excitement.
Li Qi just came back from outside and was really in no mood to make jokes with Gao Yanei, so he said: "I'm sorry, Yanei, I have an appointment with the Taiwei today to talk about business."
Gao Yanei was a little unhappy, curled his lips and said: "I know you are not here to find me. It's really disappointing, so I'll leave first."
"Yeah. Have fun."
"It's none of your business." Gao Yanei was a very simple person. After a brief period of depression, he immediately left in full swing.
The housekeeper smiled apologetically and said, "Don't be surprised if you are an economic officer, the yamen is still a half-year-old child."
Li Qidao: "I know that he is the one who enjoys life. If you don't like it, I have always envied him for being able to knock on the widow's door openly. How many people in the world can do that?"
Are you praising or derogating? The butler looked stunned for a moment, then smiled and said nothing.
Arriving at the back hall, Li Qi cupped his hands towards Gao Qiu and said, "I have seen the Taiwei before."
Gao Qiu chuckled, stretched out his hand and said, "You're here, sit down."
"Thank you."
Gao Qiu glanced at him and asked with a smile: "You are here for Pharmacist Guo, right?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "My subordinate has been transferred. I don't think I should be the last one to know about it. I don't even have the chance to practice it."
Gao Qiu nodded and said: "You are right. I have sent people to inform you before, but I didn't find you."
Li Qidao: "Lieutenant, even if you find me at that time, I'm afraid I will be the last one to know. Moreover, this matter is a bit too sudden, and there must be something fishy in it."
Gao Qiu put away his smile and said seriously: "This incident is not sudden at all, it's just that we realized it later."
Li Qi asked doubtfully: "What do you think the captain said?"
Gao Qiu said: "Mr. Guo has stayed in the capital for so long. What do you think of this person?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then said: "To be honest, I have been busy with new methods recently, and I haven't had much communication with him, and I don't know much about him."
Gao Qiu smiled slightly and shook his head gently.
Li Qi frowned and said, "Captain, did I say something wrong?"
Gao Qiu nodded and said: "That's wrong. It's not that you haven't communicated with him, but that he has always been mediocre and unnoticed. But I thought it was not that he was mediocre, but that he deliberately lay dormant, hiding his strength and attracting people's attention.
Don't pay attention to him."
Li Qi suddenly realized it and said: "Ah! I understand."
Gao Qiu sighed: "Actually, I just figured it out today. To tell you the truth, I only learned about this this morning. Since you mentioned this person to me before, I immediately sent someone to inquire about it.
News, it turns out that last night, it was the British minister who recommended to the emperor that Pharmacist Guo return to Yanjing and take office."
Li Qi frowned and said, "Another British public?"
Gao Qiu said: "Yes, as far as I know, the British Duke came back from his great work this time and invited the ministers of the DPRK and China to a banquet at home. The banquet lasted for three days. I believe you know that Pharmacist Guo was also invited, and Pharmacist Guo took the opportunity to give
He captured four beautiful women from Persia and asked the British prince to help him return to Yanjing."
Li Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I think he must have made some kind of promise."
Gao Qiu nodded and said, "I think so too."
Li Qi asked again: "But just because of the British Duke's words, the emperor agreed?"
Gao Qiu shook his head and said: "I was not there at the time, but I heard that the British Duke also took advantage of this rebellion by Tao Ding and others to recommend Pharmacist Guo to return to Yanjing. This is only one of the reasons. Second, it is rumored that the Yanshan magistrate
Zhen Wuchen was arrogant and domineering in Yanjing. He supported his troops and respected himself, and the emperor also wanted someone to balance him. Thirdly, the prince also made suggestions to the emperor at that time. The emperor was worried about the stability of the north, so he agreed. Also, the British duke also asked the emperor at the same time.
The emperor recommended Yue Fei to take over the position of Pharmacist Guo, but the emperor thought that Yue Fei was too young, so he did not agree immediately."
Although Gao Qiu did not elaborate, Li Qi also guessed that Cai You must have felt that the mediocre Pharmacist Guo could not restrain Li Qi even if he stayed on the guard post, so he simply supported Yue Fei to become the leader. He thought, Damn it.
, I didn’t expect that I actually made a wedding dress for someone else. Apparently, Cai You and Zhao Huan learned from his method of recommending Zongze and recommended Guo Yaoshi to go to Yanjing.
Thinking of this, he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, but he was more surprised and said: "Is His Royal Highness also participating?"
Gao Qiu chuckled and said, "Maybe you didn't think of it."
Li Qi nodded and said, "This is indeed a bit unexpected."
Gao Qiu said: "Actually, I was quite surprised just now, but after I found out, it turned out that Pharmacist Guo had already hooked up with Geng Nanzhong, the prince's assistant. Although I don't know the details, it was probably Pharmacist Guo.
I spent a lot of money to ask Geng Nanzhong to speak kindly for him in front of the prince."
"Is it him?"
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and felt filled with regret in his heart. The reason why Geng Nazhong was able to return to Zhao Huan was because of his trick. After all, all of this happened because of him.
Gao Qiu said with a smile: "With the advice of the Crown Prince and the Privy Council, it would be logical for Pharmacist Guo to leave the capital. However, when Pharmacist Guo learned the news, he even asked someone to get the official documents on his behalf, so he left the city overnight that night.
He went. It seems that he knew that you were worried about him, so he left in such a hurry. However, it can be seen that this person is very deep in the world. After he encountered obstacles at the beginning, he began to choose to stay dormant and kept a low profile in everything.
When you are careless, and then you strike again, you will hit the target with one strike, and the timing is just right, it is simply invulnerable."
Li Qi was stunned and speechless.
Gao Qiu added: "But you don't have to worry too much. Even if he returns to Yanjing, it's not his decision alone. It's nothing to worry about."
If Jin Guo doesn't call, then I won't worry, but---oh, I was really careless and lost Jingzhou this time. Li Qi felt regretful in his heart, and said with a deep eyebrow: "Lieutenant, I think the Privy Council did a little too much in this matter."
It's too much. With such an important position as the deputy commander of the guards, he directly made suggestions to the emperor without consulting us three yamen in advance. From the beginning to the end, our three yamen didn't even know about it. This Privy Council is too much.
It’s a bit domineering.”
Gao Qiu frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, and said: "What you said is not bad. You and I should know about this in advance, but the British prince has just returned from the rebellion, and the emperor has to give him three points of favor, and you also know that
, all the generals of Sanya are directly obeying the emperor's orders, so once the emperor nods, there is no need to inform you and me. In addition, there is also the prince helping. Alas, forget it, the matter is over, you can do it again
