Bright Spring

"The female Taoist priest I was waiting for never came." Chen Dachui said straight to the point.Zhao Ping is one of the guards of Han Wangfu, everyone is acquaintance, so there is no need to be so complicated.

Zhao Ping nodded and said: "We know, she probably won't be able to come here."

After hearing this, Chen Dachui was stunned for a moment, and said: "What the prince told me is to take care of that female Taoist priest. Why can't you come?"

Zhao Pingdao: "Wang Gui told me that after waiting for a long time without seeing the female Taoist priest come out, he found an acquaintance in the palace and gave him some gifts, and happened to come to Xu Jiu; Wang Gui managed to get some news. It is said that the queen is not in good health. The Holy Majesty specially built a Taoist temple for the Taoist priest in the palace, and asked her to stay in the palace and pray for the queen every day."

Chen Dachui's face was ugly, and he said immediately: "The imperial palace is heavily guarded, can I still complete my errand?"

"The general feels that it may not be possible." Zhao Ping said.

The two looked at each other and were silent for a while.

At this moment, Zhao Ping said again: "However, Wang Gui wants to make up for his mistakes and do another thing. Today, Pai Mofuture wants to discuss this matter with Chen Bazong."

"Make up for it?" Chen Dachui looked at Zhao Ping in confusion.

Zhao Ping nodded and said: "We have traveled thousands of miles to the capital. Besides delivering the Queen's notoginseng medicinal materials, the most important task is to meet that female Taoist priest. Now we can't get it, so we can't just return empty-handed?"

Chen Dachui said: "What does Wang Gui want to do? Zhao Baihu just say it!"

Zhao Ping said in a deep voice: "A while ago, the three sons of the Marquis of Changxing were impeached for rebellion, and among them Geng Xuan was arrested and sent to the Imperial Prison... that was the son-in-law who married Princess Jiangdu. The other two sons of the Marquis of Changxing heard that I might as well kill myself at home! Does Boss Chen know?"

Chen Dachui frowned and said, "Now I know."

Chen Dachui glanced at Zhao Ping and felt that this guy knew a lot.Zhao Ping was originally just a pawn and a groom, and he was able to become a member of hundreds of households. It was because Chen Dachui gave him the opportunity to take care of the prince's mount.And Zhao Ping only had that one chance, so he climbed up the pole...

It is said that Zhao Ping used to have a reputation as a child, but he failed to pass the exam twice as a scholar, so he joined the army as a pawn to find his way out.Sure enough, read more books!

At this time, Zhao Ping went on to say: "Not long ago, the commander of Peiping made Ping An, but was impeached for misconduct. The Holy One did not punish Ping An, but he did not reprimand those who falsely accused Ping An. So Ping An was frightened, and once met Wang Gui outside the gate of Xi'an, and quietly told Wang Gui that he wanted to join the King of Han and flee to Yunnan to save his life!"

Chen Dachui's expression changed when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Ping'an is a general, this is not a small matter! The prince didn't nod, do we dare to do such a thing?"

Zhao Ping said: "Don't dare to do it."

Chen Dachui: "..."

Zhao Ping pondered for a moment, then said: "What Wang Gui means, Mr. Chen will hurry back to Yunnan and report the matter to the prince. We will do that after the prince's order arrives in the capital."

Chen Dachui thought for a while and said, "That's fine."

Zhao Ping said again: "Mr. Chen will wait for two more days, and the general will come again at the end to send a copy of the official document of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to Mr. Chen. Wang Gui said that he knew Wang Zhenliang, Wang Zhenliang's father, Wang Ning. Now he is still an official in the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies; Wang Gui first went to Wang Zhenliang to get the official document of the Du Du Mansion of the Five Armies. Then Chen took the official document of the Du Du Mansion with him and left Beijing to change horses at the post station.

The general also thought that such an arrangement was more appropriate.Lest our people come and go to attract attention and cause extra problems. "

Chen Dachui couldn't help asking: "Why does Wang Gui have to take care of this matter, can we really make up for it? Then Ping An is a surrendered general, why does the prince save him?"

Zhao Pingdao: "The last general also asked this question. Wang Gui said that although our lord and Ping'an have fought against each other many times, we have an old friendship; after Ping'an surrendered, the lord and him are still on good terms... The last general doesn't know what happened. , Wang Gonggong firmly insisted, the prince will definitely be willing to save Ping An's life!"

Chen Dachui nodded: "Before leaving, the prince has confessed that this trip is under the arrangement of the eunuch Wang Gui. In that case, the general will go back and report first."

Zhao Ping clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Chen will leave in two days, and the rest of us will also leave the capital; we stay too long in the capital, fearing that someone will impeach us. It will be inconvenient for the general to stay long, so I will leave!"

Chen Dachui also saluted and said goodbye.

...Zhao Ping has to rush back to the old mansion, he can't leave Wang Gui's side for too long.Because he had also received a secret order to try to stay by Wang Gui's side!

When he was in Yunnan, the King of Han met Zhao Ping alone and gave Zhao Ping a dagger.Having said something...

Seeing the face of the King of Han, the people in the court should not touch Wang Gui.But just in case someone doesn't follow the rules, Wang Gui will take the poison and kill himself in case of emergency; if Wang Gui doesn't have time to take the poison, Zhao Ping will stab a sword beside him and help Wang Gui on the road!

This arrangement made Zhao Ping very nervous.This errand does not seem to be that simple!He observed a group of people who went to Beijing, and it seemed that he did not receive the same treatment as Wang Gui; maybe because Wang Gui was a confidant eunuch of the King of Han, he knew more things than Zhao Ping?

Zhao Ping got into the carriage, picked up the whip, and thought to himself: Knowing too much is not a good thing.

Even so, Zhao Ping still couldn't help thinking about a doubt: Ping An is a general, even if he has some old friendship with the prince, he shouldn't entrust his life and death to the prince casually, it seems a bit rash...

But Ping An really did that.

Chapter 225 Wang Gui

/p>There are not many people in the old palace of the King of Han in the capital, but a few servants are left to watch the empty house.

By the time Zhao Ping left the jade shop, it was past You hour; as soon as he returned to the old mansion, the sky gradually dimmed.If it weren't for summer, the sky would get dark faster.

He was just going to the wing where Wang Gui lived when he was stopped by a sergeant.The sergeant clasped his fists and said: "Zhao Baihu has to wait a moment, there are people in the prince's house."

"Who?" Zhao Ping asked casually.

The sergeant took two steps forward and said mysteriously: "The girl from Zuixian Tower has been here for a while, I guess she will come out after a while."

Zhao Ping said in amazement: "Eunuch Wang is not an eunuch... the eunuch also wants to find sister Yao?"

The sergeant smiled "hehe" and said, "The prince is looking for him, so we can't stop him."

Zhao Ping stood still under the eaves, looked at the door of Wang Gui's room, and said: "Then I won't disturb Wang Gonggong's good business, so I have to wait for a while."

...In the wing room, Wang Gui had just put on his clothes, and went to the cloth bag next to the bed to touch a stack of precious money and put it on the table.The girl glanced at it, and accepted it without any objection... Although the Daming banknotes are becoming more and more worthless and many people are unwilling to accept them, fortunately, Wang Gui gave them a lot.

"My father-in-law is generous, I thank you very much." The girl said, also busy arranging her clothes.

Wang Gui wiped the sweat off his forehead, then let out a long breath and said, "There was someone who did this in ancient times. The King of Qin gave that man a car. The little reward from our family is what the girl deserves. Are you doing that well?" Easy, you were not forced by the bustard of Zuixianlou, right?"

The woman smiled and said, "How could it be? If I don't want to be a concubine, how many girls will fight for this job. We can't help it. We don't have the beauty of the country and the city. We can only serve the guest officials more attentively, otherwise who will spend money to find us?" What about us?"

Seeing that she was still smiling, Wang Gui couldn't help touching another handful of copper coins and putting them on the table.

The woman bowed her knees and thanked her, took the money and left.

In a short while, Zhao Ping walked into the door of the wing room, almost when the woman walked in front, he came behind, or he had already waited outside the door for a while.

"Eunuch Wang is very interested." Zhao Ping clasped his fists and said.

Wang Gui said nonchalantly: "Our family wanted to do this before, but we didn't do it. You all know that our family is an eunuch. I just found out today that Sister Yao doesn't dislike our family."

Zhao Pingdao: "Eunuch Wang doesn't think it's a waste of money, how can elder sister Yao dislike it?"

Wang Gui nodded, and pondered: "It's not wronged, she has a reaction, our family can watch and think about it."

Zhao Ping looked like he didn't know how to answer, and was speechless.

Wang Gui then asked, "It seems that the matter is settled?"

Zhao Ping hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Back to Eunuch Wang, it's done, just wait for the official document from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies."

"Okay, Wang Zhenliang will send the things straight to the jade shop. He has been there before." Wang Gui said, and he suddenly said, "Zhao Baihu was surprised just now? Do you think eunuchs are pure-hearted and ascetic?"
