In fact, how could the emperor not know anything about it? Lu Chen did not know about the treasure map that Gu Chengyu handed over last time, which shows that Gu Chengyu does not trust other officials.
Since Gu Chengyu repeatedly promised that his life would not be in danger, the emperor let him go.
After all, Gu Chengyu is not that kind of frivolous person, and the emperor can also see from Gu Chengyu's behavior on weekdays that he cherishes his life very much.
Since Gu Chengyu already had a plan, he could just wait for the good news in the capital.
The waiter saw that the people over there had already left, and even the loess dust rising on the ground had fallen, so he dared to mutter.
"These two people are really strange. They are not mute, but they don't say a word." He shook his head and put away the dishes on the table.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he couldn't help but become interested, maybe he could find out some useful information.
"Brother, these two people haven't spoken to you since they arrived?" Gu Chengyu pretended to be curious and asked the waiter.
"That's right! Sir, you don't know that these two people have been here for two hours. When I ordered the dishes, they made me confused. I reported the name of the dishes, but neither of them responded for a long time. In the end,
Or am I serving four dishes to two people and they didn’t object, so you don’t think it’s weird?”
The waiter was also a chatterbox. When he saw that Gu Chengyu wanted to ask something, he quickly got into a good conversation and struck up a conversation with Gu Chengyu.
"It's really rare for someone to be so taciturn!"
Gu Chengyu also smiled. There were only four dishes, which was not much. It took the two of them two hours to eat.
For those who are in a hurry, this time is too long.
Even if you want to stop and take a rest, it won’t take that long, right? It sounds like you are waiting for someone.
"Isn't that right? The two of them didn't say anything, just sitting here. The old man kept drinking water, and the man didn't move his chopsticks much. Look? You see, the dish didn't move much. I made my own decision.
He wrapped up the remaining soy hare, otherwise it would be wasted."
When the waiter thought of the man just now, he couldn't help but sigh at his generosity.
After giving two taels of silver and paying for the meal, there was still one, two or three cents left! I didn’t say anything about packing up the uneaten cooked food on the table, and I only used the remaining money to buy some rabbit meat.
Such strange people are very rare even in this official world.
Hearing what the waiter said, Gu Chengyu was even more sure that the other party was waiting for someone, maybe waiting for him.
Ming Mo and the others also noticed that something was wrong. Your Excellency would not ask these questions for no reason. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with the two people just now.
The three of them exchanged glances, each on their own alert.
The four people at the table next to them also looked at each other. The leader was guessing that the two people just now were probably waiting for someone.
Who are they waiting for? It can't be them, right? But the master sent them to Jiangnan this time to keep secrets. Could it be that some of them leaked the news?
The leader glanced at the other three people present, and those three people immediately shook their heads like rattles.
They have followed the leader for so many years, and they will naturally guess what the leader has in mind.
The leader thought for a moment and shook his head. Impossible! These three people were his confidants. They had shared joys and sorrows for so many years. How could they betray them so easily?
He glanced at Gu Chengyu, and an idea flashed in his mind. Could he be waiting for them?
Qian Huichun looked blankly at the surging river in front of him. He slumped on the ground, without any joy of rebirth after the disaster.
"Sir! What should I do? The embankments must have collapsed this time. Look, there is water everywhere!"
Chen Zhao glanced around. In order to avoid the flood, they had to climb up the mountain.
During this period, the horse refused to go up the mountain, so they had no choice but to abandon the horse and climb on foot. After that, the horse was washed away by the river.
Chen Zhao thought of his family. The embankment collapsed so suddenly. Although his home was on high ground, it could not withstand the flood!
His youngest son was only five months old, and his parents, mother-in-law and eldest son might have all died in the river.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling sad. He wiped his tears with his sleeves and gritted his teeth in hatred of the sudden flood.
Qian Huichun was in a trance at this time, what should he do? He didn't know what to do!
His parents, wife and children were still in the backyard of the magistrate's office. That place was naturally flooded by the river. But after all, it was far away from the river embankment, so there was no telling whether one or two of his family members could survive.
As for the young child and his wife, he didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it.
He comforted himself that it would be better to die! Anyway, if something like this happened, the court would not let him go. Not only would he be executed, but his family would not be able to escape either.
Qian Huichun suddenly remembered the news he had sent to that person before. Now that Changtian Mansion had burst its embankment again, even if the person wanted to protect him, there was nothing he could do.
Who can save me now? No one can save me.
"Sir! There were government servants running with us when we ran. They must still be alive. If we wait any longer, they might come to us."
Chen Zhao is eager to know the life and death of his family, but now that there is vast water everywhere, how can they find anyone?
Before waiting for Qian Huichun's response, Chen Zhao had no time to think about it. He thought for a moment.
"No, sir! We have been here for four days. If we wait any longer, we will either starve to death or freeze to death. We'd better go to the other side of the mountain. There will definitely be no damage there. Once we get out of the mountain, we'll find a carriage immediately and go to the forest.
Jiang’s state capital asks for help!”
Chen Zhao couldn't wait any longer. He didn't want to wait any longer.
"It's over! It's over! It's all over!" Qian Huichun suddenly stood up, raising his hands and waving them, as if he was crazy.
Chen Zhao was shocked by him. He didn't understand why the master was suddenly so crazy.
Although Mingming looked depressed before, it was still normal! "Sir! What's wrong with you?"
Qian Huichun started crying and laughing. With his messy hair and wrinkled official uniform, he looked like a madman.
Chen Zhao panicked. Could it be that he has gone crazy? If that's the case, what should he do?
"It's all over!" Qian Huichun cried and laughed for a while, seeming to feel tired, and then collapsed on the ground again.
Chen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, Sir, nothing can happen to you now! You must go back to take charge of the overall situation at this time, and the people who were not flooded may have become chaotic at this moment.
"Sir! Let's go! In the past two days, we have eaten everything we can eat around us. I have no weapons in my hands, so I can't even hunt. It's very cold at night. We will freeze to death here."
This is in the mountains, and the temperature drops sharply at night. In addition, there is water all around, and there is no clothing to keep out the cold. Just making a fire can't drive away the coldness on the body.
Qian Huichun glanced at Chen Zhao steadily, then closed his eyes and lay on the ground.
