Chapter 312

Gu Peiqing's eyes fell on the rabbit for a long time, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes - the jade pendant was carved by him and given to Er Yatou on her tenth birthday.

And the fact that this thing is in the hands of the masked woman shows that the other girl is Er Yatou's confidant.

"Are you from Er Yatou?"

The masked woman nodded: "Yes, the master asked me to follow and protect the master secretly. He also asked me to reveal my identity at the appropriate time."

At the appropriate time.

Gu Peiqing caught the word at once. This woman had appeared before, but she did not identify herself, which meant that the time was not suitable.

He understood clearly in his mind: "Second girl, is there something I want you to give to me?"

"Yes." Xiaobei nodded and said softly: "Master once gave instructions that if the red knot appears, he will ask the servant to inform you of what we have recently investigated."

"The first one is the identities of those assassins. The first time the assassins were from the Dawan sect, the second time they were from King Duan's Nails, and the third time they were from Shadow Pavilion and King Duan."

It was probably a jade carving that caused Gu Peiqing's heart to grieve. Although the news brought by the woman was full of conflict, he also remained calm.

After waiting for a while, before Gu Peiqing could ask further questions, Bei could only look at Ning Yi.

Ning Yi understood instantly and asked: "Who is Yingge? This is the first time I have heard of him."

Bei's heart relaxed slightly and he quickly followed up: "The Shadow Pavilion is the secret guard camp where Emperor Qinghe hides. He only listens to Emperor Qinghe's words."

Gu Peiqing knew more: "The first shadow pavilion master was Princess Hailing, but after Princess Hailing married Queen Hailing, the master was passed on to Emperor Qinghe's confidants."

Bei was keenly aware of Gu Peiqing's address to Emperor Qinghe.

If she remembered correctly, this person had always been addressed as His Majesty before, but now he was directly addressed as Emperor Qinghe.

"The master is right." Bei nodded: "After the imperial envoy gave the master the order for the first time, the master refused. It was only after the imperial envoy repeated the instructions from Emperor Qinghe that he agreed."

"And the lord's previous evasion has made the suspicious and careless emperor feel that the mercenary has no respect for his mercenaries and is no longer loyal. Under this situation, the emperor can only detain his wife and the eldest son to ensure that the lord will go back. And if

What will happen when the master goes back..." At this point, Bei stopped, but his eyes turned to the wounds on Gu Peiqing's body.

"That person who can dispatch the Shadow Pavilion has traveled thousands of miles to assassinate him. When he returns to Shangjing, he will be close at hand. That's not what he wants..."

"Ning Yi." Gu Peiqing scolded in a low voice, stopping Ning Yi from speaking.

Ning Yi saw that his adoptive father understood everything, so he stopped talking.

"Master, this is what the master asked the maid to give to you." Beishang took a step forward and handed over a tips bag: "The second young lady once said that if Dazhao is stable and if the master is virtuous, there will be no regrets if Gu's son dies on the battlefield.

. But if it is... I hope the Gu family is safe, and I hope the master and his wife are healthy and happy."

Gu Peiqing's eyes instantly turned red.

His second girl.

He still remembered that when the second girl was just born, she was such a small ball.

Now the yin and yang are separated.

We will never see each other again.

"I know." Gu Peiqing's voice was dry and hoarse, as if he was squeezing it out, and he opened the bag of tips.

That night, when the prince came again to persuade Gu Peiqing, he was silent for a while.

"Your Highness, I still don't agree with what you are doing."

The prince's face changed instantly, but when he saw the hesitant expression on the other side, his heart moved slightly, and he said: "Gu Shuai, don't worry, Gu is not the one who wants to make fun of his own life. Gu has sent a message to the border and transferred again.

Five hundred people, they will leave with Gu when they arrive tomorrow morning."

Gu Peiqing was slightly stunned: "Your Highness has already made a plan, so I won't say anything more. Tomorrow, we will... ahem..."

Halfway through his words, Gu Peiqing couldn't help coughing loudly, his face was as pale as paper, and his whole body was even more shaky and about to collapse.

A trace of disgust flashed across the prince's eyes.

Gu Shuai, who commanded the three armies, is now sick and weak, and he is also one of those people who has no power to resist.

"No, no, no. Gu Shuai, you are seriously injured. The most important thing now is to recuperate. I think you can stay here."

"How can this be done? I should escort you..." Gu Peiqing stood up excitedly, but he didn't expect that his body was too weak now. With just a simple movement, he swayed and fell.

The prince was startled and quickly supported the other person.

After the doctor came over and said that Gu Shuai would have to stay in bed to recuperate within half a month, the prince immediately said: "Gu Shuai, I order you to stay in Sankou Town to recuperate, and then set off back to Beijing after you recover."

"Your Highness." Gu Peiqing was lying on the bed with a tangled look on his face, and finally sighed: "I accept my order."

Seeing that the other party had to agree, the prince felt refreshed.

"Okay, I'll leave first. You can recover well."

"Your Highness, I have one more request," Gu Peiqing said in a low voice.

"You say it first." The prince did not agree immediately, but looked at him carefully.

Gu Peiqing lowered his head: "I don't worry about your highness's safety. I hope you can bring Ning Yi and others with you. They are all elite men under my command, and their martial arts are also impressive. I can't protect your highness, so I only hope that they can send them with you."

Come in handy."

The prince had a good sense of Ning Yi and others, and he also knew the skills of those people, so naturally he would not refuse the force sent to him, and he immediately nodded and agreed.

After the prince left, Gu Peiqing also raised his head. His face was calm, but there was still a little bit of dejection because he could not escort the prince.

Royal study room.

After hearing the report from the spies, Emperor Qinghe frowned: "Gu Shuai was seriously injured in order to protect the prince, so he had to stay in bed to rest?"

"Yes, it is said that the assassin's knife was smeared with poison. If he hadn't just brought the poison-clearing pill, he would have died."

When Emperor Qinghe heard this, his eyes immediately became complicated.

He suspected that Gu Peiqing would be arrogant and alienated because of the military power in his hands, but now that he heard that the other party almost died, he couldn't bear it.

After all, Gu Peiqing has been loyal and loyal all these years, and his youngest daughter even died for the country.

Emperor Qinghe sighed heavily and thought to himself that for the sake of the mutual respect between the emperor and his ministers for so many years, he would let the Gu family live. However, the power of the Gu family was indeed too great and needed to be suppressed.

With this in mind, he ordered Dr. Wang, who had a good reputation for regulating the body, to go to Sankou County to treat Gu Peiqing.

Then he thought that Ding Gui, who he sent to take over the military power of Feiyun City, should not be far from the county seat, so he secretly wrote a handwritten letter asking him to visit the patient.

If he was just pretending to be sick and didn't want to come back, he would let Gu Peiqing really die of illness.
