Chang'an Fu

Chapter 72 Private Meeting with Gu Huai in the Dungeon

What he didn't know was that after Li Yu left Dali Temple, he didn't leave, but walked back to the side of Dali Temple, and Xiao Cheng was already waiting there

"I have already checked that there is no one around here, you can go in with confidence"

As he spoke, he handed the psychedelic powder that he had prepared earlier to Li Yu, fearing that he would refuse, he hurriedly said, "Just in case!"

Li Yu reached out and took the things he handed over, put them in his cuffs and hid them

"If you don't give it to me, I plan to ask you for it!"

"Let's go! Go and come back!" After speaking, Xiao Cheng grabbed Li Yu who was about to turn around

"Zihuan, I'll wait for you outside for just a stick of incense, come out quickly! Otherwise, I'll go in and look for you!"

After seeing Li Yu's firm nod, he let him go

Li Yu jumped into the interior of Dali Temple, just bumped into a guard, watching him instinctively prepared to scream

Fortunately, Li Yu reacted very quickly, jumped over to cover the guard's mouth, and turned his head to kill the guard.

After changing the guard's clothes and dragging the guard's body into a dry well in the courtyard, Li Yu discovered the familiar lunch box

"Isn't this the lunch box I gave that person?" Li Yu murmured. He looked at the surrounding environment. According to the guard who brought him in before, this place should not be far from the prison. It seems that this is the place to go. Send it to Yan Ping

Here comes a group of patrolling guards

"Hey, what are you doing standing here!"

"I am ordered by my lord to deliver food to the people in the prison!" Li Yu weighed the lunch box in his hand as he spoke, to show them that he was indeed delivering food.

"Then hurry up, dawdle!" Seeing that there was no suspicious person, the group of guards hurried to another place

"Yes!"

Seeing those people walking away, Li Yu quickly walked in the general direction that the guard said by feeling.

Soon I saw a place guarded by a group of heavy soldiers, and the stone tablet next to it was engraved with "The dungeon is heavy, do not enter!"

That's it!

Li Yu walked over quickly

Seeing Li Yu approaching, the man guarding the door quickly picked up the spear in his hand and blocked him.

"What are you doing!"

Li Yu raised the lunch box in his hand, "I delivered the meal by the order of my lord!"

The one who took the lead motioned to those around him to check the lunch box and let Li Yu go after making sure there was no problem.

Li Yu walked into the depths of the dungeon with the guards leading the way. It seems that the guards who led the way were right. The place is indeed very desolate. There is almost no one in the dungeon. Soon Li Yu saw Gu who was chained up. Huai

Stopping at the door, Gu Huai still didn't look up, he was still playing with the straw in his hand

"My lord also told me to have a few words with him."

The guard who took the lead opened the door, and told Li Yu impatiently, "Come out quickly!" After speaking, he left

Li Yu seized the time and hurried in, "Yan Ping!"

When Gu Huai heard this familiar voice, he quickly raised his head, and Li Yu's familiar face appeared in front of him.

"Zihuan! Why are you here?"

Seeing Gu Huai's thin face, the originally small face was even smaller now, Li Yu couldn't express his distress, but at this moment he couldn't gossip too much

"Tell me what's going on? Why is there a witness?"

After Gu Huai knew his reason, he told Li Yu about Tatamu

"According to what you say, Tatamu should be out of revenge mentality. If you find other witnesses, you can prove that you did not collude with the Huns."

Gu Huai shook his head and continued

"It's not all, I did have contacts with Galdan in the north before!"

"what?!"

"I used to get along with Galdan when I was in the north, and I felt that he was a bold person, and he was definitely not the kind of sinister and cunning person, so I had a few drinks with him, and Tatamu saw him at that time. , He has always held a grudge for what the Huns did to him, and he must have planted a seed of hatred in his heart since then!"

Gu Huai said, "But I didn't do anything to offend Bianliang, and I broke up with Ge Erdan after that!"

Li Yu naturally believed in Gu Huai, but now it is not enough for him to believe. Seeing his beloved being locked up in this dark cage, Li Yu felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart. He hated his own incompetence and felt sorry for Gu Huai. Huai

"Have you finished yet?" The guard waiting outside urged impatiently

"Yan Ping, I'm leaving!"

After finishing speaking, he left without looking back, he had to hurry up, he couldn't accept watching Gu Huai suffer here but he couldn't do anything

It is enough for him to bear the feeling of being in the hands of others, but he must protect the person he wants to protect.

Xiao Cheng anxiously waited for Li Yu's figure outside the wall. He didn't let go of his hanging heart until he saw Li Yu come back. It seemed that everything was going well.

Li Yu, who fell off the wall, had already taken off the guard armor and replaced it with his own. He asked Xiao Cheng as he walked towards his mansion.

"Have all the letters been mailed?"

"Hmm!" Perhaps thinking that Ruyan Liu was coming soon, Li Yu could clearly feel the unconcealable joy on Xiao Cheng's face.

"Report to Lord Bai! Huang Zhongde was not found!"

The guards came to the Siqing Hall to report, a cold look flashed in Bai Yulin's eyes

"Are you sure you watched the second prince walk out of the door?" Bai Yulin asked the guard guarding the door.

"Subordinates confirm!"

"There is nothing unusual in the dungeon?"

"Yes! General Gu is still in prison, and he doesn't feel any discomfort after eating!"

"Go back!"

Since there is no problem, let's pretend that Huang Zhongde never existed!But as soon as the second prince came to his house, he lost someone, hum, things must not be that simple, interesting!

When Li Yu returned to the mansion, Li Yan was already waiting for him in the hall

Compared to the desertedness of Gu Huai's house, Li Yu's house is even worse than that.

At least there is Gu Da guarding Gu Huai's mansion, Li Yu's mansion has no one except himself, of course Xiao Cheng's arrival has added a little popularity to the mansion

"Where did the second brother go?" Li Yan didn't regard this place as someone else's home at all, and started drinking tea on his own

"This Unscrupulous City has been here for a few days, and I haven't visited Chang'an City yet. I just took him out for a stroll." Li Yu sat opposite Li Yan, "Brother Huang has been here for a long time?"

"No, I just came here for a while!" Li Yan said calmly

Yu Fei, who was standing aside, snorted coldly to show his dissatisfaction, obviously he has been here for a long time

Seeing that Li Yan didn't stop him, Li Yu didn't care, "I don't know why the emperor came here?"

"Before you talked about Zhang Chengyou to me, I thought about it later and found it very reasonable, so I mentioned it to the emperor today, and he agreed. The edict should have been issued by now, and it shouldn't take much. Every day Zhang Chengyou will come to Beijing!"

Li Yu brought a cup of tea to his lips, and smiled slightly, "That's a good thing! Congratulations, Brother Huang, for adding another right-hand man!"

"It's hard to say now, it depends on whether he is willing to surrender!" Although Li Yan said so, there was no expression of uncertainty on his face

He is the person who is most likely to be the prince now, and no one with a discerning eye will oppose him, not to mention that he promoted Zhang Chengyou himself, so he is actually not worried at all.

Li Yu saw what he was thinking, and took a sip of the already warm tea, "Don't worry, Brother Huang, that's for sure!"

"The last time I saw you had a good relationship with his daughter"

When he finally asked, Li Yu knew that he would not come here specially to tell him about Zhang Chengyou's assignment.

"At that time, I taught that little girl to play the game of building a leaf house. A child, of course, is a mother if there is milk, so kiss me a little bit, but..." Li Yu paused and said, "Zhang Chengyou is not a little girl. child"

Hearing this, Li Yan laughed, "What did the second brother say! But it's a good thing that you have a good relationship with his child."

Xiao Cheng listened to everything from the side, and he didn't speak out until Li Yan's master and servant were far away.

"Zi Huan, he is so guarded against you and you want to rely on him for whatever you do!"

Li Yu naturally asked himself this question. At the beginning, it was because he didn't want to fight. To protect his mother and concubine, he could only rely on someone he could rely on.

Seeing that he didn't answer Xiao Cheng, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly backed down

Zhang Chengyou came to Beijing much sooner than expected, and he arrived in Chang'an in less than two days after the decree came out

Hearing this, Li Yu took the initiative to ask the emperor to pick up the two father and daughter.

Zhang Peng may have been very tired from running around for several days. When he arrived in Chang'an, he was sleeping soundly in her father's arms. He didn't even know that he was by the side of Brother Li, whom she had been talking about all day long.

"Second prince!" Zhang Chengyou hugged Zhang Peng and was about to bow down but was stopped by Li Yu

"Excuse me! Peng'er slept soundly!"

"The two days' journey is a bit rushed, and she is exhausted." Zhang Chengyou lowered his head and looked at the daughter in his arms kindly. Her little face really looked more like her mother. "Thinking of the urgent order, it must be Chang'an." Need me, so hurry up a bit"

Zhang Chengyou only brought Uncle Wu, who had served him for many years, and Xiao Fuer, who had no relatives and no reason, with him. There were few people, so the journey was fast.

"Stop standing there, go to my house first"

A group of people came to Li Yu's house again

"Your mansion should be tidied up in a few days, and you can live in my mansion for a few days." He said and motioned Xiao Cheng to pick up Zhang Peng and carry him into the room

When Xiao Cheng was far away, Li Yu said slowly, "After you go to see the father, my brother should also send someone to invite you!"

"You seem to be different when you meet the second prince this time. Do you see something clearly now?"

Li Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Cheng's straightforward words. He just nodded to show that he was right, and then told Zhang Chengyou about how Gu Huai went to prison.

"I need you!" He especially needs a courtier who can stand by his side at this moment

"That's why I'm here!" Zhang Chengyou replied affirmatively

"I've already sent Guo Ye to look for witnesses, and I think it won't be long before I get a reply! At that time, you will need to go to the emperor to participate in this matter."

The emperor has always been afraid of the prince's dealings with the general, so Li Yu can only stand behind and control this matter, and cannot come forward

"Yes!"
