Chapter 47 Chapter 47 The Third Letter

Yueyang City. Junshan Court. dusk. Gu Yueming was about to go out to meet Ji Nieti, when there was a knock on the door, she couldn't help wondering who would be visiting at this time, and when she opened the door, she suddenly saw Baichun standing outside the door with a flustered expression, and hurriedly invited her into the room. Baichun couldn't wait to take out the bamboo tube, and said: "It's the third Feige letter, this time there is no senior sister's seal." Gu Yueming returned to the round table with the bamboo tube, first asked Baichun to sit down, and then took out the secret letter to read carefully.

Seeing him reading the letter with a calm demeanor, carefree and joyless, Baichun felt a little relieved, and then dared to ask after watching him light the letter, "Are you all right, Senior Sister! Did she send it?" Gu Yueming didn't look at her until the letter was completely turned into ashes, and said in a deep voice: "No matter who gave you this secret letter, Bai Chun must warn him to flee immediately with his family. bit, don’t come back for a day.” Baichun Huarong turned pale and said: "What happened? Where is Senior Sister, how is Senior Sister?" Gu Yueming said: "Maybe it's fate. I tried my best to avoid Baichun getting involved in this matter, but unfortunately things backfired. Eunuch Feng is now leading an army from the waterway. If the wind goes smoothly, we can reach Yueyang the day after tomorrow."

Baichun said sadly: "Is there something wrong with Senior Sister?" Gu Yueming's eyes shined brightly, and he said coldly: "It can be said that, but as long as I, Gu Yueming, is alive, Eunuch Feng will never dare to touch your senior sister's hair, and he may not protect you well. If I guessed correctly, your senior sister is right now. Come south with Eunuch Feng." Baichun bit her lower lip, and said after a while: "What's going on?" Gu Yueming said lightly: "It's a long story, I'm going to meet someone now, Baichun, let's go back to Hongyelou first!"

Baichun said worriedly: "Is Eunuch Feng going to clean up Dahemeng?" Gu Yueming's heart moved, and he said: "Baichun returns to the front of the building, so he can go to Bazhen Garden to inform them about this matter and tell me a word." Baichun asked, "What does Brother Gu want me to tell them?" Gu Yueming said casually: "Tell them, the opportunity has come." Yue Qi entered the fragrant boudoir on Mrs. Huameng's ship, ordered the maid who served her to escape to the outer cabin, then sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Mrs. Huameng who was lying on the bed with concern, and said: "After taking the medicine, Madam Are you feeling better?"

Mrs. Hua Meng opened her eyes and said, "The medicine is very bitter." Yue Qi coaxed a child and said, "Good medicine tastes so bad! The doctor said that Madam is just tired from traveling and there is nothing wrong with it." Mrs. Hua Meng said softly: "Touch my forehead." Yue Qi reached out and pressed her forehead according to his words. After a while, he showed a puzzled look, and frowned, "It's normal! I don't have a fever." Madam Hua Meng smiled sweetly, and said, "Your hands are thick and warm, very comfortable." Yue Qi breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her and then withdrew his hand, as if relieved from a heavy burden, he said: "It turns out that Madam is pretending to be sick."

Mrs. Hua Meng rolled his eyes at him, and said mischievously: "Otherwise, why would you come to see me?" Yue Qi didn't think it was disobedient and said: "I'm here, what do you want to say, madam?" Mrs. Hua Meng asked: "Have we already entered the river?" Yue Qi said: "Madam noticed it, the fleet entered the river half an hour ago, it will dock tonight to replenish supplies, and it will arrive in Yueyang early in the morning the day after tomorrow." Mrs. Hua Meng said softly: "I lied to you, so irrelevant, are you angry?" Yue Qi said pitifully: "How could I be angry with Madam? Madam has suffered."

Mrs. Hua Meng said softly: "Will you protect others?" Yue Qi said without hesitation: "Madam, don't worry, Yue Qi will do his best to protect Madam and prevent Madam from being harmed." Mrs. Hua Meng closed her eyes contentedly, and slowly said, "Master Yue, how old is this year?" Yue Qi smiled and said, "Just thirty years old and not yet married, does Madam like this answer?" Mrs. Hua Meng's cheeks were flushed, and half of her beautiful eyes were slightly annoyed: "Have you ever married a wife? What's the matter with the slave family?"

Yue Qi said happily: "Madam is not married, if you are not married, you will have less scruples when speaking, how can you not do Madam's business?" Mrs. Hua Meng closed her eyes again, and said softly, "My family is twenty-eight years old, two years younger than Mr. Yue." Yue Qi felt his pulse beating violently, took a deep breath and said: "If I change to another place, thousands of troops will not be able to drive me away. I hope there will be such a day. Madam, sleep well, I want Go back and report to the Grand Duke." Mrs. Hua Meng didn't speak, but still closed her eyes, and nodded slightly to express her agreement.

Yue Qi covered her with a quilt and left quietly. Gu Yueming put the four-bow crossbow machine and the remaining arrows on the table, and Ji Nieti made a gesture, and the two men came over to pick them up and retreated outside the hall. The two sat down at the table. Jneti looked at him intently, with an inscrutable smile hanging on his lips, his expression was obviously a little different from before.Said: "What did Yueming do today?" Gu Yueming guessed that he had received the letter from Feige from Eunuch Feng, but he didn't know whether he had received the message from Ji Shan, so he tried to test it out.He said coldly: "I never report my whereabouts to others, Mr. Ji asked the wrong person."

At the same time, I thought that regarding what happened in Yueyang City today, Ji Nieti must have lost his eyes and ears, because Qian Shichen searched the whole city by hunting down the five robbers, and Ji Nieti and his men were busy hiding, and his intelligence network spread widely in the city In a state of paralysis, so this answer is also sent out of emotion. Ji Nieti remained unmoved, with a different posture today, and calmly said: "Does Yueming want to kill me?" Gu Yueming said angrily: "Just listen to Master Ji's words, and you will know that Ji Shan has collapsed. Master Ji didn't just know me today, so he should know what kind of person I am. Do you want me to reiterate that I accept this task?" , is to leave the imperial court, not to be promoted. Mr. Ji, don’t complicate the simple things. My task is to find Chu He, hand it over to the Grand Duke, and then take over from the Grand Duke and relieve him of the military post. oracle. Everything else has nothing to do with me.”

Taking Ji Nieti's city mansion to rob him face to face, his expression changed slightly, and he stared at him fiercely and said: "In this case, why did you not know me when you received two secret letters from Ji Shan's rebellion?" Gu Yueming said as a matter of course: "I don't want Hua Meng to be involved in this matter." Ji Nieti laughed and said: "It turns out that Yueming is a person who thinks of others. It's really an anecdote. But Yueming doesn't have to worry about Mrs. Huameng, the Grand Duke will take good care of her." Gu Yueming grinned and said, "Of course I don't worry." Jneti said in amazement: "This is the first time I've seen Yueming's smile." Gu Yueming took out the dull night pearl from his bosom, handed it to Ji Nieti, and said, "People have seven emotions and six desires, and I am a human, not a ghost, and I am no exception. It is this pearl that makes Qian Shichen willing to trade a lot of money. They also fabricated that the jade sword of the celestial maiden was stolen." Ji Nie picked up the Pearl of the Night, rubbed it for a while, and then held it in front of his eyes to study it carefully. After a while, he frowned and said, "Maybe Yueming doesn't know, but I have a special preference for pearls. There are no pearls in the world more than Hepu, Nanhai, Dongting and Hepu." Pearls produced in Taihu Lake. The pearls are large and round, smooth and moist, with fine and dignified texture, similar to Hepu South Pearls, but not as silvery and crystal clear as South Pearls; they are slightly golden yellow, like South Sea Pearls, but less iridescent; It is said to be a product of Dongting, but it is too big and heavy. Come here, turn off all the lights for me." The four subordinates came in through the back door upon hearing the call, carried out the order, entered the hall into the darkness, and quietly retreated out of the back door. The night pearl does not show the slightest light. Jineti sighed: "I guessed wrong again. Dongting pearls are the rarest and rarest. They shine brightly during the day and emit blue and yellow light continuously at night. Even in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, they are two or three feet apart. See its brilliance, but this is obviously not a night pearl." Gu Yueming thought to himself: If he draws his sword at this time, with his night vision ability, maybe he can beat the speed quickly and take Jineti's life within a few moves. Ji Shan had a very insightful opinion, which moved Gu Yueming, that is, Eunuch Feng is too old, and no one can say whether he will return to the West tomorrow, so everyone in the court knows that once Eunuch Feng leaves, the power will be destroyed. It is very possible to return to the emperor's hands, and the only thing he is afraid of is Ji Nieti who holds the military power, so he dare not show any opposition to Eunuch Feng.However, if Ji Nieti can be successfully eliminated, everyone's scruples will be greatly reduced, and Eunuch Feng will be deceitful, the situation will be greatly beneficial to the emperor and Ji Shan. Whether or not Jineti can be killed is really the key to the entire power struggle. Ji Nieti smiled bitterly and said: "There are also freshwater seedless pearls from Taihu Lake, which have nothing in common with this pearl. I have been playing with pearls for many years, but this is the first time I can't see its origin and value at a glance. How could Qian Shichen do this for you?" It is really puzzling to betray Dahemeng with such a single bead." Gu Yueming said: "Perhaps the value of this bead lies in its uniqueness, which is rare in the world." Jneti handed the pearl back to him, nodded and said: "This is indeed a very special pearl. When I held it, it seemed that there was some kind of mysterious power dominating me, which made me feel at peace. I have a guess that this bead is an extremely rare elixir, like the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum or the formed Polygonum multiflorum, which has the function of bringing the dead back to life, and Qian Shichen is a person who knows the goods, so he will spare no effort to make peace with it. Five escapes and thieves trade." Gu Yueming secretly cried out, because she knew that the problems that would come one after another were very difficult to deal with. Sure enough, Ji Nieti continued to ask: "Wudun Pirate must also be a person who knows the goods, otherwise he would not use this pearl to ask Qian Shichen for a price, with an attitude of not worrying about Qian Shichen and not trading with him. How about Wudun Pirate?" Explain the origin of this bead?" Gu Yueming said: "I didn't ask him, because it involved his plan to make a fortune, and our trust was established in this way. He helped me find the Chu box, and I made sure he left with the money." Jneti had no doubts, nodded and said: "He is a smart man, he knows that if he gets into an enemy like you, he will catch up with you if he flees to the bottom of the sky." Then he muttered, hesitant to speak. Gu Yueming knew well that he wanted to ask Ji Shan if he had a third letter from Feige, but he also knew that this would reveal the secret that Ji Shan was still alive, so he hesitated. Logically speaking, under such circumstances, Ji Shan was able to escape from the capital immediately, which was very rare, so how could he still have time to write letters.But Gu Yueming did receive Ji Shan's Flying Pigeon letter, which shows that Ji Shan had already expected this day, so he had a contingency method. Ji Nie said: "Do you think the members of Dahemeng will attend the 10th anniversary dinner of Hongyelou? I have to find out the situation before I can help you escape from Yueyang." Gu Yueming remembered that when he met him this morning, Ji Nieti held the dinner invitation and thought about it, and also remembered what Ji Nieti said that maybe he didn't have to worry about Qiu and Ruan, so he understood.He said: "As long as the five escaped robbers attend the dinner, how can Qiu and Ruan be absent?" Ji Nie nodded and said: "Okay! Everything is going according to plan, and I will prepare the fastest horse at the designated location. If there is nothing special, Yueming had better not come to me, I will come to you. " Gu Yueming agreed and got up to go. Wu Zixu crossed his legs and sat in front of the two portraits of Yan Niang and Chan Wing, quite satisfied with the completion of the work.From this moment on, he can easily wait for his chance to escape. I don't know if he has exhausted his passion for painting, but he has an idea that he will never want to paint again.well!He is bored.This is exactly his personality, and he cannot stay in a certain industry for a long time. The cicada's wings in the painting are both happy and angry, which is Wu Zixu's favorite expression. It has a more real and bizarre taste than a real person, and completely grasps the charming charm of a girl. At this moment, a picture of a person wearing a black hood and a water tank, dexterously climbing ashore from the Hanging Piao Pond, suddenly appeared in his mind. Wu Zixu woke up suddenly, he didn't understand what happened for a while, but the change had already occurred. "laugh--" The sound of breaking wind. Wu Zixu didn't even think about it, he even turned the chair with him, so that the back of the chair was facing the right hand side. "Du--" An iron needle was inserted into the back of the chair, penetrating an inch, almost protruding through the chair. The lights flickered. The lamp on the painting table and another wall lamp were hit by iron bullets successively, and should be extinguished by the bullets.The hall was plunged into darkness that could not be seen, blending seamlessly with the night outside the pavilion. Wuzi humbly thought, could it be Master Qiu Jiu?Among the people he knew, apart from Gu Yueming, only Qiu Jiushi had this skill.What made him even more convinced of this speculation was that if the opponent hadn't been bent on capturing him alive, then what was shot should have been a crossbow arrow, and the part that should have been taken should not have been the thigh.The needle must have been numbed. Wu Zixu is unafraid, he is no longer that kid who sells snake guts, or Huaxian Lang Geng, but a five-dun robber, and a five-dun robber has no fear. He grasped the back of the chair with his palms behind his hands, and just flipped onto the back of the chair, pushing his feet back quickly, but the chair still remained motionless, showing his balance skills. The attacker was rushing from behind, who would have thought that he would have such a strange move to turn defense into offense, suddenly Wu Zixu's feet were less than a foot away from his chest, the attacker was also amazing, he covered his chest with both hands, turning into a fist out. Wu Zixu arched his body, and at the moment before the enemy blocked him, he let go of his hands, his body straightened, and he put all his strength on his feet, and kicked the enemy's fists. "boom--" The enemy staggered backwards, it wasn't that he was weaker than Wu Zixu in strength, but that he changed his moves temporarily and couldn't use all his strength, so he suffered a loss immediately. But Wu Zixu took advantage of the counter-shock to do a forward flip, his feet touched the ground, he picked up the chair, turned around, caught up with the enemy, and the chair swung around and smashed the opponent. The man let out an angry snort, crossed his left elbow to resist, and kicked out with his lower foot, taking Wu Zixu's lower genitals. Wu Zixu laughed and said, "You are definitely not Qiu Jiushi." "boom--" Chairs shattered. The man was forced to move back even more, the foot below him was only an inch away from kicking Wu Zixu, he was very embarrassed. Surprisingly, Wu Zixu didn't take advantage of the situation to chase after him, he tossed three times in a row, returned to the middle of the hall, and suddenly disappeared. Ignoring the pain in his arm, the man rushed up and kicked the table in the middle. The table slid away, causing the three chairs on the other side to fall back and forth, and the table legs rubbed against the ground, making a sharp and unpleasant noise. . Wu Zixu appeared in the darkness, holding the brush washer in both hands, splashing the sewage mixed with ink in the brush washer, and splashing it on his opponent's face at the moment the table was moved away, the timing was exquisite. Even in an unfamiliar environment, Wu Zixu can still make good use of the characteristics of the environment and give full play to the "adaptive" strategy, not to mention the familiar environment of Fengzhuge, which is like home. This trick is really unstoppable. The assailant had no choice but to close his eyes and move sideways, but he had already been splashed by the sewage, and then suffered severe pain in his calf, and was hit by Wu Zixu's sweeping foot.The man let out a miserable cry, but he didn't fall to the ground in response. Instead, he turned back two times in a row and backed away. Wu Zixu threw the pen washer in his hand, the porcelain bowl spun and chased after the enemy, he bounced himself up again, and chased after the enemy. "when--" The man had just stood firm when the pen wash came, and he was still able to take the pen wash calmly with a wave of his palm. When the brush touched the ground and shattered, Wu Zixu killed him. The man moved sideways, then came out through the window, and fell to the ground outside the pavilion. Wu Zixu rushed to the window and looked out. Under the starlight, the man squatted on the ground, raised his head and stared at him with a burning gaze, his eyes burst into strange light, for a while, Wu Zixu couldn't see anything else, My heart is hazy. This situation only lasted for a split second, and Wu Zixu's head seemed to be lit up again by the spiritual light, and the scene in front of him returned to normal, the only difference was that a cloud of smoke was blowing towards his face. Wu Zixu laughed, left the window sill, and rushed out through the gate instead, and happened to see the man throwing himself into the Hang Piao Pond. Wuzi walked to the place where the man threw himself into the water with an open mind, stretched himself, and said with a long smile, "I won't see you off!"
