Fast time travel: black lotus has no emotion

Chapter 119

The strong horse couldn't satisfy each other anymore, they still wanted to eat him.

"I'm the pure king. Do you think your life is too long for the rebellious officials and thieves who despise Chao Gang?"

Hearing this, the leader of the mob slightly curled his lower lip.

"Pure king? Only your royal family's life is your life, and the lives of us ordinary people are not your life?!"

"Longnan has been in drought for five months. Where are the court people? Where are you?!"

Zhao Chunmin caught the loophole in the other party's words.

five months?
The memorial placed on the emperor's dragon case was clearly written for three months.

It's just that Zhao Chunmin didn't dare to ask these words.

This group of people was already on the verge of violence, and he could only appease them now.

"Ben...I know that you hate the court and feel that the court has abandoned you."

"But what I want to tell you is that the imperial court did not give up on you. The reason why it did not come so quickly before is that the imperial court needed time to raise food and silver."

"Drought in Longnan, the border is also full of flames of war. The court and the barbarians have been fighting for three years. The money is sent to the front line like water. The border is in a hurry, and Longnan is also. You have to ask the court to slow down."

"So, tell me where the official station is, and you take me there, and I will definitely give you an explanation! As long as you don't kill me, the court will reward you heavily after the matter is resolved! If you are willing to protect me in Longnan Consolation, this king promises that not only will you have meat to eat, but when I return to Beijing, I will also bring you back with me!"

Zhao Chunmin spoke earnestly, if Gu Liubai stood here, he would surely find that this was just a harmless illusion he showed.

His heart is full of murderous intentions, and he just waits for the right time to give these people a fatal blow!
Maybe the leader was well-informed, he didn't believe what Zhao Chunmin said, and even became more vigilant because of it.

It's a pity that there are some cowards in the company who dropped the sticks in their hands: "My lord, are you telling the truth? As long as..."

Timidly, he looked around, hoping that someone would be by his side.But except for the leader showing displeasure, everyone else was a little ready to move.

The leader knows that the situation is over, but if he is allowed to go with Zhao Chunmin, he is not willing.

In a short breath, the choice has been made.

"Brothers from the same village, I know that you are fed up with the current life. The prince is willing to give you a way to survive, and I will not stop you. But I have been used to being at ease since I was a child, and I can't stand restraint. When we meet again in the future, remember to give me a stutter Just do it!"

The leading head did not turn back and turned away.

A villager behind him wanted to persuade him, but was dragged away by his companions, so he had to shut up.

……

On the other side, Gu Ruchen took down the message from the carrier pigeon, unfolded the familiar handwriting, twisted the note into long strips on his fingertips, and brought it to the candlelight.

Wisps of green smoke curled up, and the cabin was suddenly enveloped in smoke.

"Will...cough cough!" The guard pushed open the door and was choked by the lingering smoke a few times.

His eyes fell on the soot next to the candlelight, and his pupils flickered.

"General, you are burning things in the cabin, why don't you open the windows."

The guard entered the cabin, closed the mountain door, and walked to the window. When he passed the candle lamp, his eyes quickly glanced at the soot.

Seeing that everything was burnt clean and only a handful of ashes remained, he looked away reluctantly.

Gu Ruchen knew that the person in front of him, who seemed to be his bodyguard, was actually a spy sent by the emperor to monitor him.

"Forgot." Gu Ruchen said indifferently, looking at the mountains outside through the window.

"Aren't we going to the border of Lingxi soon?"

The guard nodded, carrying the teapot, and took out a teacup from the shelf behind him.

"It's almost here." The guard pushed the tea in front of Gu Ruchen: "The general is really amazing, you have never been out of the city, and you know that we are approaching the border of Lingxi."

Gu Ruchen pinched the teacup with his slender but powerful fingertips, brought it to his mouth and blew gently.

"It is said that traveling thousands of miles is worse than reading thousands of books, but the reverse is also true. If you have read the volumes of "Sifang You" a hundred and eighty times, you will definitely know where we have traveled."

The guard smiled and didn't answer.

Seeing that the tea in Gu Ruchen's bowl was dry, he turned around and added another bowl.

"General, I asked the fisherman on the boat that we will arrive in Longnan in five days."

Gu Ruchen nodded, and waved his hand to reject the guard's move to add water.

"When we reach Lingxi in a while, let the boat dock. I have something to do."

The guard was stunned for a moment, and blurted out a question: "Why?!"

Responding quickly, he knelt on the ground and confessed: "This subordinate has made a slip of the tongue, please punish the general!"

Gu Ruchen stood up from the chair, moved in front of the guard, looked at him coldly, and bent down to help the guard up after a long while.

"The matter is urgent. I don't blame you. I think you are asking this question because you are worried about the people in Longnan. Get up."

Cold sweat broke out on the guard's forehead. For a moment, he thought that his identity as an undercover agent had been discovered.

"Thank you, General." The guard didn't dare to ask again.

It's fine to overstep once, if you do it a few more times, it will inevitably arouse Gu Ruchen's suspicion.

"This subordinate will order you to go down. When the ship docks, this subordinate will come back and report to the general."

"Well, let's go."

Gu Ruchen closed his eyes.

When the guard opened the door, he quickly looked back at the paper ashes on the table, and seeing that Gu Ruchen hadn't noticed, he turned and left.

The door creaked shut.

After an unknown amount of time, an untimely gust of wind blew up in the cabin.

"My lord, after the guard retreated, he released a carrier pigeon towards the capital. Do you want the servant to stop you halfway?"

A gust of wind blew by, and a figure silently landed beside Gu Ruchen.

Hearing this, he opened his eyes, but there was no haziness or sleepiness in his pupils.

After pondering for a moment, he shook his head: "No, I can probably guess who it is for."

In the capital, don't think of anything but the emperor.

The emperor said that he trusted them, the Gu family, but what he actually did was the same.

Fortunately, he didn't expect too much from the emperor, unlike his father, who was willing to work hard for the court.

He felt that he and his father were not of the same kind, like two ends of a ruler, seemingly on a parallel line, but only he knew that he and his father would never meet.

He couldn't understand his father's willingness to sacrifice and give.

He just wants to protect his little family.

If possible, he would do his best to protect Concubine Hui in the palace.

"Be careful in doing things." Gu Ruchen said without beginning and end: "We know that there is someone behind the guard because he showed his feet. But we don't know about the others."

There was the sound of gurgling running water next to my ears, splashing everywhere, occasionally covering Gu Ruchen's voice.

"If it's not convenient for me to talk, you can wrap a vine around the stern of the boat, and I'll understand when I see it."

"Yes."

The black shadow said a word, and the flame in the candle's heart beat violently in the air a few times, and everything returned to calm in a blink of an eye.
