Quick Wear: The Beautiful Tool Man Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

After leaving Mujia Village, Gu Yeling ran in one direction. Not long after, he stopped in front of the first manor that looked very shabby and did not look like anyone was living there.

Gu Yeling inconspicuously confirmed the very obscure mark next to the door, then pushed the door open and walked in.

"Who is it?" Accompanied by a symphony of weapons, Gu Yeling started fighting with the person guarding the door as soon as he entered. However, it was obvious that the man was no match for Gu Yeling at all and was controlled by Gu Yeling after just two rounds.

The people standing guard at the door finally saw the appearance of the person they had just mistaken for an enemy. "General!!!"

Following his shout, the people inside rushed out. Only then did they see clearly that the person they thought was an enemy night spy was actually the General Weiyuan they had been looking for.

They finally relaxed. It turned out that they were discussing whether they had found the general and what to do next since they had not found the general yet. Then they heard the noise outside the door. In order to prevent people outside from discovering their plan, they hid and did not show up.

"General, where have you been hiding these days? We couldn't find you anywhere, and we didn't dare to be too conspicuous in case of arousing the enemy's attention, so we left a secret code, hoping that you would find it. I didn't expect that you would really find us." Deputy General Pan stepped forward and said happily. Ever since General Gu disappeared when he faced the enemy alone to cover their retreat, Deputy General Pan was almost going crazy when he couldn't find General Gu everywhere.

They were worried that General Gu had been captured, and that something had happened, which was why they hadn't been able to get there in time. It had been almost half a month, and they still hadn't found General Gu, so they discussed what to do next. They were also worried that something had happened in the palace, and that they couldn't get there in time, and they were in a state of panic.

Gu Ye Ling suddenly returned to Beijing with his generals at this time because he received a secret letter from the crown prince, who was his best friend.

The secret letter said that he had secretly found out that Concubine Wu was secretly contacting the King of Shu who was far away in the foreign land, and asked him to hurry back to the palace in the near future. Considering that his father's health had been deteriorating recently, the prince suspected that they might be plotting against the throne. The prince was the legitimate son of the empress, and his status was noble since birth, not to mention that the empress and the emperor had been in love since childhood, and they were in harmony and loving. The prince's identity could be said to be a foregone conclusion that he would be the next emperor.

The emperor has always loved the prince very much, especially after the death of the queen, he has always brought the prince to his side and taught him carefully according to the requirements of the crown prince. Compared with the prince who is deeply loved by the emperor, the king of Shu is born to Concubine Wu, and is cruel by nature. He either beats or scolds the servants who serve him. He is also very disgusted with the beloved prince, so he is not loved by the emperor. In addition, the emperor vaguely found out that the queen's death was related to the concubine.

At that time, there was no direct evidence, and the relationship between the imperial concubine and the prime minister was entangled, so it was impossible to pull it out directly, so it could only be done slowly. Over the years, under the manipulation of the emperor, the power in the prime minister's mansion was slowly pulled out one by one, and the imperial concubine Wu seemed to have noticed it, so she stayed in her palace every day. In particular, after the king of Shu came of age, the emperor directly made him a king, and ordered him to go to his fiefdom as soon as possible, and he was not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned.

Concubine Wu had been forbearing and had not raised any objections. The emperor gradually relaxed his vigilance against the concubine. But the prince did not relax his vigilance and continued to watch the concubine's movements. However, he still did not find any unusual movements. Just when the prince thought he was being too suspicious, his father's health began to deteriorate.

The emperor, who had noticed the change in his physical condition, handed over more and more government affairs to the crown prince and began to teach him the way of being a king. It was obvious that the next person he wanted to take the throne was the crown prince. While the crown prince was worried about his father's health, he was also working hard to learn government affairs.

At this time, the spy that the prince had placed beside Concubine Wu sent back a message saying that Concubine Wu had secretly contacted the King of Shu, but the specific content was unknown. The prince was worried that Concubine Wu would make some moves in conjunction with the King of Shu, so he told his men to keep a close eye on Concubine Wu to see what she was doing, and also sent people to Shu to investigate.

Unexpectedly, the spies from the King of Shu sent back news that the King of Shu was on high alert and no information could be obtained at all, and strangers could not sneak into the city at all.

The prince, who keenly sensed that something was wrong, quickly sent a message to his friend, telling him about the situation here and asking Gu Yeling to rush to Beijing to prevent Concubine Wu from joining forces with the King of Shu to harm the emperor.

Unexpectedly, not long after the news of the prince's death was sent out, the emperor vomited blood and fainted during a meal, which made the prince very anxious. After being treated by the imperial physician, it was learned that the emperor was poisoned.

"Poisoned? How is this possible? All the food that father consumes every day is tested for poison by eunuchs. How could he suddenly be poisoned? You should try your best to treat him first. Remember that father is just overworked and needs more rest." The shocked prince immediately ordered a thorough investigation, and at the same time instructed to keep the news blocked.

If the news of his father being poisoned were to spread, it would probably cause a great turmoil, so this matter must not be spread. Moreover, the prince also had a bad premonition in his heart, and quickly sent several secret letters to Gu Yeling, asking him to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

As for Gu Yeling, when he received the first secret letter from the prince, he knew the situation was urgent. He quickly gave instructions for the next matters, and then led Lieutenant General Pan and other trusted confidants to the capital first, and his troops followed.

In order not to arouse Concubine Wu's vigilance, Gu Yeling and his team took a small path along the way, trying to avoid exposing their actions. Unexpectedly, there was an enemy spy in their team, who not only secretly exposed their route to the enemy, but also launched a sneak attack when they were fighting. Fortunately, when they were constantly attacked along the way, they guessed that there were enemy spies in the team, and they had taken precautions in advance, so they did not fall into danger.

When they were about to arrive at Huaining County, the enemy might have seen that they were getting closer and closer to the capital, so they decided to go all out and directly arranged a large number of assassins to come here, intending to keep them here completely. This attack was indeed thrilling, and it can be seen that the enemy was also determined to keep them here.

Some of his men were injured, and Gu Yeling, who was worried about their injuries, fought alone. Deputy General Pan asked his men to leave first and come back to pick him up after the wounded were settled. Unexpectedly, when Deputy General Pan and his men rushed back, they did not see Gu Yeling, and only the bodies of the killers were left at the place where they had been before.

Deputy General Pan led his men to search back and forth near the accident for a long time, but they could not find Gu Yeling. As a last resort, they had to find a secluded place to settle down and quietly search for Gu Yeling.
