Chapter 226 Old things

Chapter 226 Old things

"Xiao Yun was only that tall back then, about fifteen or sixteen years old. The old slave met her once and liked her very much. He even gave her some small gifts."

I don’t know whether the old eunuch had thought it through or was simply bored, but he actually let Zhao Yushu and Mo’er out for a day for the first time, and sat in the carriage to chat with him.

The carriage was not big, and normally it was a bit cramped even for two people. But now there were three people sitting in it, so Zhao Yushu could only squeeze together with Mo'er like quails.

"How did you meet Yun Gu? Is she from the palace?"

Zhao Yushu raised a key question.

"No, she entered the palace with someone else, but I won't mention who that person was."

Don’t forget to mention it, that person is the key!

But the old eunuch said not to mention it, and no one dared to object.

"She stayed in Xijing for about two years. Then something happened and she left. I only knew that she went to Dongdu. I didn't expect that she had made such a big name for herself. Not bad."

"What thing?" Although I knew that the old eunuch would most likely not tell me, I still couldn't help but ask.

But the old eunuch actually said it.

"Assassinate the king and kill him."

Zhao Yushu's hands trembled. These four words were short, but they represented a lot.

There were countless assassinations of emperors in the history of the Tang Dynasty, but none of them were successful because the emperors were all secretive.

But there was one person who almost succeeded. He broke into the Hanyuan Hall from outside the palace gate with a sword. He did not assassinate them, but walked forward step by step, allowing one after another Xijing's internal experts to come to stop him, and then he killed them with a sword and moved forward one step further.

The current emperor was almost frightened to death. If the old man had not rushed over from the Eastern Capital in person and killed him in front of the Hanyuan Hall in time, this unfortunate emperor would have had to be replaced before he had been in power for a few years.

"It wasn't about being in time. It was about him waiting. He sat on the steps and waited for a whole day and a whole night."

"Then where were you at that time?" Mo'er asked a very impolite question.

"Me? I was trembling with the emperor at the time, hahahaha!"

Zhao Yushu thought for a moment and asked, "Is this person related to Yun Gu?"

"It was he who brought Xiaoyun into the palace. That's when this old servant saw Xiaoyun."

Zhao Yushu's mind was in a mess: "It sounds like they had a very harmonious relationship with the royal family at the beginning."

"Hey, it's more than just harmony. Even though he's been dead for so many years, Xiaoyun is still doing well in Dongdu, and Xijing doesn't dare to do anything."

Zhao Yushu was extremely anxious: "Who is this hero?"

"Hero? If you say that, you will be beheaded."

"Ah, with my reputation in Xijing, I still can't afford ten heads. I don't need this one. Please tell me quickly."

The old eunuch ignored him and looked at Mo'er: "How did Xiaoyun treat you?"

Mo Er said solemnly: "Like my mother."

"Okay, for Xiaoyun's sake, I won't bother with you for teasing me. When you get to Dongdu, you can go back on your own."

Mo'er glanced at Zhao Yushu.

"He certainly can't leave."

"Then I won't leave either."

Zhao Yushu was anxious: "Are you stupid? You just left when I told you to. Is this the time to be willful?"

"Don't worry, take your time to think about it. It's still some time before we get to Dongdu." The old eunuch waved his hand and asked Zhao Yushu to get off the car and squat in the prison car.

Mo'er was about to follow, but Zhao Yushu held him back: "Is the prison car comfortable? You stay here and tell your father-in-law more about Yun Gu."

Mo'er was confused. The old eunuch laughed so hard that his eyes could not open. "You should learn more from his cleverness. He wants you to get more benefits from me, your father-in-law."

"What benefit can you give?"

The old eunuch glared at her and said, "I underestimated you, you are such a provocateur. Well, I will show you my ability!"

Zhao Yushu climbed into the prison van by himself and closed the door, as obedient as a Border Collie.

Bujie glanced at him and asked, "Why didn't you leave last night?"

"If I leave, both of you, and Mo'er, will die."

"Before we came to rescue you, we expected to die."

"First, if you use your lives to buy my life, I won't be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of my life. Second, Mo'er's plan has a chance, but you two are just giving it away. Third, if you hadn't come, I might have a better chance of escaping. Now that you've come, it will be very difficult for me to take you guys away. Finally, and most importantly, the point."

Zhao Yushu paused and said, "Who said I would die when I arrived in Xijing?"

Bujie thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, no one has said that. Everyone instinctively thought that if you killed the young duke, you would definitely die. Now think about it, it's just a matter of being put on trial."

Zhao Yushu sat in the prison car and looked up at the sky. "That's right. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that I'm just an excuse. Xijing wants to deal with the academy. Few people care about my life or death. After all, a small fourth-level heaven cannot defeat the seventh-level heaven even if it breaks through the sky. I'm worried that the people in the academy will be forced to follow Xijing's plan, even if they know it's a trap. If I'm done, that's when I'm really done."

"Is the emperor crazy?"

"It's hard to say. The South is in chaos, and he still wants to send his stupid son to the Southeast to test it out. After testing it out, he even wants to use the national law. In our family's words, he is a typical person with a big addiction to being a good person. He may be good at palace fighting and playing power games..."

Zhao Yushu sneered: "No wonder Prince Fu dared to have such thoughts. If I had such a stupid brother as the emperor, I would have had such thoughts too."

Bujie shook his head: "You people are too evil, I don't understand what you are saying at all."

"I didn't mean for you to understand. I was just talking to myself. To be honest, Senior Brother Bujie, we are in Dongdu ahead. You can go if you have the chance."

"Okay." Bujie said without any hesitation. He had done everything a friend should do. If he insisted on dying with someone, that would not be loyalty but stupidity.

"If you die, I will avenge you." Bujie promised calmly.

"I'm asking for your blessing. If I really die, when you have reached the inner state, you should go to the palace and make trouble for me, your brother, and chop off the dog emperor's head with one knife. Oh, and chop off the crown prince as well."

"it is good."

The two men sang the same tune, and while chatting and laughing, they wanted to chop off the head of the most powerful man in the world. The old eunuch's forehead throbbed as he listened in the carriage. He wondered whether he should drag these two ignorant guys out and give them a good beating, or at least make them too tired to talk nonsense.

So Zhao Yushu and Bujie were driven off the cart and replaced the two mules and horses, each pulling a mule. Yuan Zhen sat on the prison cart, stroking his round head, and watched Bujie pulling the cart with grunts. He felt a little embarrassed at first, but after sitting for a while, he smiled and began to meditate and recite scriptures seriously.

Zhao Yushu squinted his eyes facing the setting sun, stopped the prison car and looked towards the end of the road. After one city after another, it was the towering Dongdu. Was there any friend waiting for him there?

And where would that woman with white hair be?
