Da Suining

Chapter 165
"Drive... drive... drive..." There was the sound of horseshoes, crisp and orderly.

Listen to the sound, at least there is a team of people.

Since Qingcheng was banned, it has been a long time since I heard such a mighty voice, let alone seven or eight horsemen.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, until it stopped under the eaves where Mingzhu was standing.

Torrential rain.

There was thunder and lightning.

A few maroon BMWs ran with white smoke coming out of their noses, and stopped abruptly. It was difficult for ordinary horses to stop, but this horse was different. If you don't move it, even in the rain, you won't make a sound.

This is much better than Xiang Suining's horse.

These are obviously good horses.

People who ride horses are not ordinary people.

A group of people jumped off the horses, obviously already drenched in water, but although they were in a mess, their clothes were bright, their swords were sharp, and they had an air of extravagance, which was incompatible with the surrounding buildings.

"Get out of the way." A man coaxed away Mingzhu who was hiding from the rain and the boy who was driving the carriage.

Someone raised his foot again and kicked the door flying out.

This is no ordinary foot strength.

Like well trained.

The fatter boy entered the room, stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and stared at the bridge platform with a smile: "This civil servant is quite fast in his work, and he chopped off Zhou Sheng's head right now? I'm a little late."

"To tell the second prince, it has been beheaded for a while, and Zhou Sheng's two concubines were also beheaded. It is said that the three heads rolled along the steps for a long distance, frightening the spectators in the front row. Blood sprayed like water."

"So exciting?"

"That's natural. The emperor sent an order to kill Zhou Sheng, and the people couldn't wait to watch the excitement. Qingcheng hasn't had such excitement for a long time. It is said that hundreds of people gathered, and now it's raining, so they dispersed .”

"The new Governor of Qingcheng is about to take office in these two days. Hurry up and cure me of this plague. I haven't gone to drink flower wine for many days. Those girls saw you before and wanted to eat you. Now Seeing the master is like seeing a ghost, grandma's money is not easy to use, and the girl in the brothel also regrets her life."

"Naturally, the new governor dare not neglect. Isn't Zhou Sheng just an example? The emperor thinks highly of the second prince, and let the second prince help to control the plague. If he does well, it will be a great contribution. You know, Xuan Guo How many pairs of eyes are staring at it."

"What else is there to treat? The imperial doctor has no medicine. How can I treat it? According to me, if you see the plague, kill it directly, and avoid infecting others. If you kill these people, the rest will not be sick. Is it? This plague, won’t it stop?”

"The second prince is famous, and what the second prince said is very true." Several followers began to flatter the second prince: "The second prince killed the people who had the plague to save them pain, anyway, they will all die."

"Remember, when you see those who have a fever, cough, or vomit blood, you would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go." Guo Cheng pressed the saber in his arms: "I'm here to relieve father's worries, as long as I can manage Plague, we will stop at nothing."

The plague has been out of control, and more and more people in Qingcheng are dying.

The two vermilion lacquered gates of the imperial palace were tightly closed, and they hadn't been there for several days in the morning.

The emperor's family saved their lives, and the common people complained.

Recently, there has been a lot of unrest, and more people have been killed than in the past ten years. In order to suppress it, the emperor sacrificed Zhou Sheng, and sent the second prince, Guo Kai, to inspect the security of Qingcheng on his behalf.

Guo Kai's concubine and concubine's eyes were swollen from crying because of this.

At first they wanted to find the emperor, but when they were looking for the emperor, it happened that the emperor said to kill Zhou Sheng.

When the emperor said that he killed Zhou Sheng, his face was gloomy, as if he had crushed an ant to death.

Concubine He was terrified when she saw it, she had served the emperor for many years, she didn't dare to count, so she hurried back to her Heyiyuan.

After going back, he closed the door, turned around, and just hugged Guo Cheng's arm and cried: "My son, your life is hard, and your father doesn't love you so much. Now there is a mess outside. I heard that a family of seven was killed overnight. Kill, those who died of the plague can't be burned, so at this time, your father asked you to inspect outside the palace, wouldn't it be your life?"

Guo Cheng was very happy in his heart.

He has been locked up in the palace for many days, and he has to pay his father a visit every day. Recently, there is less riding and shooting, and the masters in the study have also returned home, but the emperor still wants them to endorse.

As soon as he mentions reciting books, he becomes unlovable. When the master was around, he couldn't recite them. Now that the master is gone, he couldn't recite them even more, which made the emperor angry.

It's been a hard day.

Either look up at the sky in all directions, and the occasional crows flying in the sky, five crows fly by in the morning, three crows fly by at noon, more in the evening, there are six crows, and when it rains, only one crow flies by every day. See one.

Or just look at the ants under the flowerpot. On cloudy days, ants like to line up to move things. On sunny days, ants like to lie down in the flowerpot to suck nectar. Everything is fast, just like swimming.

After seeing the crows and ants, I just looked at the birds and sparrows on the porch, and said a few words to them: "Is the millet or millet you eat today? How many times have you drank water? Hey, the hair has grown."

The crows have seen it, the ants have seen it, the birds and sparrows have been fed, and there is nothing else to do.

Don't worry about people.

The emperor is so considerate, he even arranged an errand for him, so he can go out of the palace to roam around as much as he wants.

Going around outside the palace, he is tall and big, and there are a bunch of expert guards, so naturally nothing will happen, the key is that he doesn't have to be locked in the palace, and he doesn't have to endorse.

I really can't find this job even with a lantern.

Concubine He still wanted to call him stupid. In terms of age and qualifications, Concubine Mei's eldest brother, Guo Cong, was the first to bear the brunt. The emperor didn't let him charge forward, but instead let Guo Cheng show his face. Obviously, he favored Guo Cong a little more.

The younger princes are like cucumber eggs, the emperor will send eunuchs to tell them every day, they must be raised in the palace well, they can't run around, and there is no cure for the plague.

Why did Guo Cheng be chosen?

Could it be that Guo Cheng was made of iron?
Concubine He cried with red eye circles: "I have only one son in my whole life. Although he was not spoiled and raised, he was brought up after a lot of hard work. Why would he be thrown into that pit of fire?"

Guo Cheng also had no choice but to persuade her: "Mother, I am willing to go outside the palace, and I don't want to stay in the palace."

Later, concubines from other palaces came to comfort Concubine He, to the effect that "Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and they will surely exhaust their muscles and bones and starve their bodies..." Or persuade her: "The emperor attaches great importance to the plague. Well, Zhou Sheng was not good at treating the plague, so he was chopped off? It is such an honor for the emperor to send the second prince to inspect. The future of the second prince is boundless, so don't you need to practice more?"

Not to mention, the women in the palace are just good at coaxing people.

Everything he said was so nice.

Concubine He was elated when she heard it, so she stopped howling, and instead made a gesture, inviting all the concubines to drink tea, and leaning on the soft goose feather pillow by the window sill, she said: "I am not as good as you sisters, the emperor wants to train my son, I didn't see it. I borrowed your good words, and if Jie'er has a good future in the future, I will naturally not forget my sisters."

So, Guo Kai rode a tall horse and rushed to the bridge excitedly.

Hearing that Zhou Sheng was going to execute his sentence here, he wanted to watch the excitement, but he didn't, which was a bit of a disappointment.

"Second prince, we've been out for a while, and the rain is about to stop, so let's go back in a while." A subordinate said.

Another subordinate didn't take it seriously: "The second prince was patrolling the first day, and he didn't do anything about the plague. When he went back to the emperor, he asked, how did he make a difference?"

Guo Kai drew out the knife and easily killed a spider on the window sill. The spider burst into paste and was sticky. Guo Kai cut the spider's mutilated body with the knife and said, "I heard that the plague in Qingcheng is very serious. People spitting blood and coughing everywhere, why did you come all the way, and didn’t see a single coughing person?”

"A lot of people were surrounded by the flyover just now. Maybe there is such a person. It's just because of the rain that the people dispersed. It's a bit of a coincidence."

"If you dare to vomit blood in front of me, cough. Hehehe." Guo Kai raised the knife, picked up a dead leaf with his right hand and stroked the knife, the dead leaf quickly became two halves.

"Be smarter." One of the subordinates flattered: "If you catch a cough, report it to the second prince and let the second prince try the knife."

"Cough cough cough..."

Suddenly there was a coughing sound.

The cough came at the right time.

Guo Kai raised his knife and looked at the crowd: "Which one of you is coughing?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all trembling: "It's not me...the second prince...it's not me."

"Looks like a female cough."

"Looks like a female cough?"

"Where are there women here?"

"Didn't there be one standing under the eaves just now? It seems to be a maid."

"Cough cough cough..."

"Second prince, the cough came from the carriage." Guo Kai's subordinates listened with their ears, and pointed to the carriage where Xiang Suining was sitting: "Your subordinates can hear it clearly, it's from the carriage. Cough."

"Oh, it's time for my knife to drink some blood." Guo Kai lifted his foot, stepped on the window sill, and flew out of the window. Unfortunately, it was a bit slippery when he flew out. He stepped on the water and slid far away. The butt sat in the puddle for a long time without getting up.

His subordinates hurried to support him: "Protect the second prince... protect the second prince."

Guo Kai got up from the puddle and gave a few of his subordinates a brain-dead blow.

The fall hurt him, and he was in a bad mood, so he picked up the curtain of the carriage with a knife: "Who is coughing here? Are people who have the plague hiding here? Don't let me out."

I met Guo Cheng again.

It's really a narrow road.

Xiang Suining deliberately held back her cough, but just now the rainwater flowed down her hair onto her face, she was choked, and she couldn't help it, so she coughed twice.

I didn't expect Guo Cheng and his party to have such sharp ears.

Ugh.

Guo Kai's subordinates opened the curtain first, and seeing Suining and Lan Tui sitting in the carriage, they didn't know each other, they thought they were a man and a woman, so they yelled to Guo Kai: "Second prince, a pair of cheaters have been caught. "

"Oh? In broad daylight, the folk customs are unrestrained."

"Second prince, my subordinates witnessed it with their own eyes." Guo Cheng's subordinates patted the carriage compartment: "Hey, you two, stop being sneaky and come down."

Lan faded out of the carriage first.

When Guo Kai saw that it was Lan Tui, he patted his thigh and laughed, "Oh, the flood has rushed into the Dragon King Temple. It turned out to be you, Lan Tui."

"Second prince." Lan faded lightly.

"Yo Lan Fai, I didn't expect you to be such a person."

"What kind of person am I?"

"I heard that you were dying of illness a few days ago, and your mother was so frightened that she knocked on the palace door at night to beg my father. She begged several times, and sent all the imperial doctors in the palace to your house, and even threatened to say If you don't take good care of your illness, you will kill the imperial physician. When the imperial physician sees your mother, it's like a mouse seeing a cat. But according to what the emperor said, those imperial physicians didn't take a good look at your illness. Are you How is it good? Did the monks from Huguo Temple recite the scriptures well?"

"I was ill at the time, so I don't remember clearly." Lan Fai was still calm.

"It's just been two days. Why, you're dating a girl? I used to think that you, Lan Tui, were an upright gentleman, and you couldn't be messed up. Now it seems that you are more lustful than me."

"Why did the second prince say that?"

"Look at your clothes, you are on duty today, right? When you were on duty, you even had a private meeting with a woman. Also, it was raining all the time, and there was no one around. There are two sentry guards." Guo Kai pointed to the eaves for shelter from the rain. Mingzhu and the servant: "Who would notice that there is a pair of mandarin ducks in this carriage? Lan Tui, you are really in a hurry."

"Not everyone thinks like the second prince."

"Lan Tui, for your mother's sake, take it easy, don't make such a heart-pounding thing, if the excitement passes, won't your mother cry to death? It's so easy to live a life, let's have a good life, It’s not too late for these women’s things to come when it’s over. Tell me, is it or not?”

Guo Cheng's subordinates laughed: "What the second prince said is true."

"Would you like to see what the girl in Mrs. Xiaolan's private meeting looks like?"

"think."

"Looks like a fairy, bet one or two, looks like no salt, bet two or two, do you bet or not?"

"Gambling, looks like a fairy."

"Haha, you are bound to lose. As far as I know, Lan Tui has always been a maverick, and his ideas are different from ours. Maybe the woman he likes is innocent. If I win, each of you will give me two taels." .”

"it is good."

"That's okay, buy it and leave it, and now the lottery is drawn." Guo Kai raised the curtain of the car with a knife: "Girl, get out of the car."

This was obviously a provocative and insulting gesture, even if Xiang Suining could bear it, Lan Tui couldn't.

Lan Tui pulled out the knife with a sound of "search".

Guo Cheng's subordinates also had many masters. The moment Lan Tuo drew the knife, they also drew out the knife, and put the knife directly on Lan Tuo's neck: "Master Xiao Lan, don't make things difficult for us. Just look What's so embarrassing about the girl who cheated on you?"

The dark clouds have not cleared.

It gets dark early again in autumn.

It was dark in the compartment.

Shadowy, indistinct.

Xiang Suining was poured by the rain once, and her makeup faded away, like a hibiscus blooming in the dark, fresh and watery.

Guo Kai tried to poke his head in to have a look, but Xiang Suining got up and got out of the car, almost staggered by him.

"This girl is quite temperamental." Guo Kai sneered, "It turns out that Master Xiaolan likes such rude girls. They have very strong tastes, very strong."
