Yuchi Gong woke up and found himself lying in a familiar house.
This is not Tongzhou.
Nor is it the Duke of Wu’s Mansion in Chang’an.
It was the place where Du He originally lived in the Dream Group - a place that warmed him when he was in despair and fleeing.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Yuchi Gong suddenly burst into laughter.
His laughter was, quite literally, like thunder.
I saw that the tiles on the roof were all resonating.
"Ahem, cough, cough, look..."
While smiling, Yuchi Gong coughed violently.
This veteran who had been on the battlefield for many years finally fell ill.
Kneeling at the gate of the imperial city didn't do anything to him, but kneeling at Mid-Levels Academy completely broke his body.
squeak.
The door opened.
Du He and Lao Fu walked in one after the other.
The old man said as he walked: "Master, let me tell you, Mr. Wu Guogong is in very good health and will definitely not die... No, I heard laughter just now."
Yuchi Gong: "..."
This guy is so bad!
Yuchi Gong turned around and saw Du He. As if he saw a long-lost brother, he rushed up and hugged Du He: "Boy, I knew I was right. You will definitely promise me... Paulin can
I'll leave it to you, as long as you rescue Pauline unscathed like that idiot Cheng Chumo, I can give you all my wealth."
Du He was almost strangled to death by Yu Chi Gong, so he pushed him away quickly and laughed dryly: "Uncle Yu Chi, look at what you said, am I, Du He, the kind of person who is greedy for money and forgets justice? Then you are looking down on me too much.
, the reason why I agreed to you is that I was moved by your sincerity, because of the friendship between us, and even more because of the brotherhood between me and Brother Yuchi, and because I, Du He, am impatient, righteous, benevolent and unparalleled..."
Yuchi Gong was so moved that he almost shed tears.
But I heard Du He add: "Of course... it will still cost a lot to save people. It's up to you to pay for this, otherwise I'm afraid you will feel guilty."
Yuchi Gong: "..."
What about the promise of being eager to do justice, loving justice, and being unparalleled in benevolence?
"How much?"
Du He stretched out two fingers.
"Two hundred strings?" Yu Chigong said nonchalantly.
Du He was almost happy: "Uncle Yuchi, this fine horse from the Western Regions is worth more than 200 guan, right? Your son is worth 200 guan, right?"
"two thousand?"
Du He shook his head: "Twenty thousand guan."
"This..." Yuchi Gong's eyes widened, "Twenty thousand guan, why do you need so much?"
"This matter is extraordinary. Twenty thousand dollars is just an approximate budget. It might be more than that." Du He said with a serious face.
"good……"
Yuchi Gong gritted his teeth: "Isn't it just 20,000 guan? As long as Paulin can return safely, let alone 20,000 guan, I am willing to sell the Duke of Wu's mansion."
At this time, Du He suddenly discovered that Yu Chigong's face was red and standing opposite him was like facing a stove.
Du He was shocked: "Uncle Yuchi, are you sick?"
Plop.
The words were not spoken yet.
Yuchi Gong fell to the ground again and fainted.
Du He and Lao Fu hurriedly carried him to the bed, and quickly arranged for Lao Fu to call Sun Simiao.
Du He was puzzled.
This unparalleled veteran couldn't help but faint. He fainted twice this day.
After a short time, Lao Sun went out in person, made a diagnosis, and finally said: "It's nothing serious. I'm infected with wind and cold. Just drink some medicine and rest for a few days."
As he spoke, he opened the prescription.
Du He felt relieved.
It is not easy to kneel in the snow at a young age.
Du He ordered: "Old Fu, prepare chariots and horses to take Duke Wu back to Chang'an."
"Master... this... is not good. Wu Guogong burned it like a piece of charcoal. What if something went wrong along the way?" The old man was a little worried.
Du He said: "There is nothing to worry about. Now His Majesty has issued an order. Wu Guogong is confined at home to think about his mistakes. How can he live in the Dream Group? Besides, if you want to save people, you must first stay out of the matter. If I am involved, it will be all over."
If you stare at Chao Wenwu, you will do bad things...send him away!"
That night, Yu Chigong was sent back to Wu Guogong's mansion in Chang'an, where he could not afford to fall ill.
As for the Dream Group, since Du He agreed to Yuchi Gong, he naturally would not be idle and began to make preparations.
…
The heavy snow stopped.
But the weather is still cold.
Tai Chi Hall.
In the imperial study, Li Er looked at a thick stack of memorials in front of him. All of them were for impeaching Yuchi Gong, and many of them were demanding severe punishment for Yuchi Baolin.
Li Er asked: "Is there any news about Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment?"
Zhao Yang stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are investigating the matter thoroughly. There is no news yet... However, there is news that Duke Wu Guo is ill..."
"Huh? I know Jingde's body very well. He is very strong. How could he fall ill?"
"My servant heard that it was Duke Wu who prayed for mercy at the gate of the imperial city that day. He knelt for several hours and then fell ill..." Zhao Yang said in a low voice.
Li Er was stunned for a moment, then regretted a little and said: "Oh, Jingde, why are you doing this? Get ready, I will leave the palace incognito and go see Jingde."
"yes!"
…
Yuchi Jingde was stunned.
Your Majesty wants to see you?
Just when he was confused, Li Er, dressed in casual clothes, had already walked into the room, accompanied only by Wen Buren and a few guards.
Just as Yuchi Gong was about to get out of bed, Li Er stepped forward and stopped him: "Jingde, your health is important. You don't need to pay any courtesy at this moment."
"Your Majesty... I am guilty, I should not go..."
Yuchi Gong felt guilty, thinking that Li Er knew that he went to Dream Group to beg Du He and got sick.
He was prepared to plead guilty first and then talk.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Er: "Jingde, in the end, I didn't take good care of you. If I hadn't left Chang'an that day, you wouldn't have knelt at the gate of the imperial city for so long.
, you won’t get sick anymore. I have brought an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat you. You should take good care of yourself. I have my own judgment on Pauline’s matter, so don’t worry.”
Yuchi Gong thought to himself, it was so dangerous that he almost spilled the beans.
But when I thought about it again, I felt great joy in my heart. I didn't expect that His Majesty thought it was an illness that came from kneeling at the gate of the imperial city that day.
He was very talented in acting, and he cried immediately.
But it was useless. Li Er said that this incident had become known to the whole world. If Yuchi Baolin was not dealt with, not to mention that he could not give an explanation to the people, even the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China would not agree.
After Li Er left, Yuchi Gong immediately called his cronies over to ask what was going on.
The confidant said: "Sir, this matter is the news released by the Marquis of Huyi County. Now, everyone in Chang'an City knows that you took the young master to plead guilty at the gate of the imperial city that day and fell ill. The Marquis of Huyi County
They also sent someone to bring a message, saying that you should not get out of bed and move around in the past few days. You are sick, very sick, and will soon... die..."
When Yuchi Gong heard this, he slapped the table: "Okay, okay, Du He is awesome."
But after thinking about it for a moment: "How do I feel that this little brat is cursing me?"
