Chapter 45: Saving the General 6

Because they were in disguise and with Mu Ran's face-changing technology, they never encountered assassins or killers along the way.

It was three days later when they arrived in the capital.

Mu Ran looked at the prosperous capital city. Although it could not be compared with modern society, it had its own unique flavor.

He looked curiously at the people coming and going on the street, as well as the vendor He Zhiqiu who was setting up a stall on the roadside, and saw that he was interested in everything. He was a little emotional, and it must have been a long time. He was very curious about everything outside, so he said, "Xiao Ran, take a look at what you want and I will buy it for you."

When Mu Ran heard that the other party wanted to buy something for him, he couldn't help but feel happy and said, "Are you really going to buy everything for me?"

He Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Are you afraid that I will cheat you? Just take it and I will pay."

Anyway, they have been delayed for a long time, so it doesn't matter if they delay for a while. They might as well make A'ran happy.

Mu Ran happily lingered in front of the various stalls. He tried foods he had never seen before and found that although they were not as flavorful as modern foods, they had a different taste.

He looked at the gadgets on the street again, and after a while, he was no longer curious. After all, there are all kinds of things in modern times, and he was just curious about the things that are unique to this era.

Now that we've had enough fun, it's time to get down to business.

So they quickly rushed back to He Zhiqiu's residence in the capital, where they washed up, changed their clothes, and removed the decorations on their faces.

He Zhiqiu said: "Aran, you should stay at home and don't go with us to meet the emperor."

Because he was afraid that Mu Ran was ignorant of the ways of the world, and if he accidentally offended the royal family or nobles, it would be a capital crime. He did not want the young man to experience such danger.

Mu Ran originally did not want to go with them to see the emperor, after all, he still had to kneel down and worship. For a modern man like him, this was really hard to accept.

He said, "In that case, I will give you three tips. If you have to do something, you can open the tips and find a solution."

As he spoke, he took out three brocade bags from his bag and handed them to He Zhiqiu, saying, "Wear this red brocade bag, and let your deputy general hold the two blue and green brocade bags for you. The deputy general will act according to the situation."

When they heard Mu Ran's arrangement, they had no objection.

After packing the brocade bag, several people rode out of the general's mansion and rushed to the palace.

As soon as they entered the general's mansion, someone informed the palace.

At this time, Emperor Gao Huaiyu was discussing with Prime Minister Wei Yuanyao whether General He Zhiqiu was killed by their people.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Wei Yuanyao said, "Your Majesty, it seems that the general is really lucky and has escaped this disaster."

The new emperor Gao Huaiyu angrily threw everything on the table to the ground and said, "It's all because of these useless people. Such a good opportunity was wasted by them. If we do it again, it will be difficult for He Zhiqiu to succeed with his skills."

Prime Minister Wei Yuanyao said: "Your Majesty, why are you so impatient? This time we failed. It seems that this general is blessed by heaven. I am afraid we cannot touch him for the time being."

Gao Huaiyu was a little angry when he heard Wei Yuanyao's words: "Prime Minister, you still believe this. Since we have already taken action, there is no turning back. Why is the Prime Minister worrying about nothing?"

Hearing the emperor's sarcasm, Wei Yuanyao didn't care and said, "Your Majesty is really cruel. After all, your position was obtained by the general. Your Majesty is not afraid of being ridiculed by the world for just abandoning the donkey after it has served its purpose."

"Aren't history books written by the victors? The dead cannot get support from the people of the world. What do you think, Prime Minister? Besides, you and I are in the same boat now. It's not appropriate to speak up for others. I hope you can find your own position."

Hearing the emperor's threat, the prime minister said indifferently: "I am just talking. After all, with the relationship between me and your majesty, how could I possibly side with others?"

As he spoke, he pulled the emperor to sit on his lap, lifted the emperor's chin with two fingers and said, "Isn't that right, Your Majesty?"

Gao Huaiyu also calmed down, and said with a charming look: "That's right, the relationship between me and the prime minister is indeed incomparable to others. I just hope that the prime minister can pay more attention to this matter. After all, he has seen me at my most embarrassed. How can I rest in peace if he doesn't die?"

"Your Majesty, you really have the most vicious heart of a woman, but I like it, don't worry! I will find another way to get rid of your Majesty's biggest worry. Your Majesty, don't be afraid of the general seeing you when he reports on his duties. After all, with the general's temper, he will probably come to see you in a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, a report came from outside: "The general is here to see you!"

Gao Huaiyu quickly climbed down from Wei Yuanyao's legs, put his clothes in order and said, "General Xuan, please give me your advice."

After a while, several people rushed in from the entrance of the hall. They were He Zhiqiu and his companions who had just rushed back to the capital.

He Zhiqiu looked at the new emperor who was sitting above him and smiling at him, and the prime minister who was sitting below him, and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am a humble servant, He Zhiqiu, who returned to the capital a few days late to report on my duties. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Listening to He Zhiqiu's plea for mercy, Gao Huaiyu wanted to drag him out and beat him to death, but he still maintained a superficial harmony and pretended to be angry and said, "Why do you say that, General? I know that the General is not someone who neglects his duties, but I don't know what happened to the General?"

Hearing that the new emperor did not blame him but asked him if he had encountered other things, He Zhiqiu felt that although the new emperor was not capable, his heart was beyond doubt.

He said, "Your Majesty summoned me urgently, and I did not dare to delay for a moment, so I immediately went to the capital with my deputy general and personal guards. But who would have thought that I would encounter a group of thieves who wanted to assassinate me on the way, which delayed me for a few days.

Gao Huaiyu was very angry and thought: "Why didn't these idiots kill you? They just delayed your arrival in Beijing. They are really idiots."

But he still seemed concerned: "Can the general find out the origins of these thieves? Is the general injured? Can the general capture all the thieves? If not, I will send someone to help the general capture the thieves."

He Zhiqiu heard the emperor's concern and said, "I was seriously injured on the battlefield, so I didn't kill all the bandits, nor did I find out any information about them. But according to my guess, this group of people is probably related to the rebellious army."

Gao Huaiyu heard that the other party had not detected the details of this group of rubbish and suspected that they were rebels, so he put his mind at ease and asked again: "The general was seriously injured on the battlefield. How serious is it? How did the general escape from these thieves? Did someone help him? If so, I must reward him handsomely."

He had urgently summoned He Zhiqiu back to Beijing after receiving news from the rebels that He Zhiqiu had been shot by a poisoned arrow, and arranged for assassins to hunt down He Zhiqiu. He thought that the poisoned He Zhiqiu and his injured subordinates could not withstand the pursuit of the assassins. But now, not only was the other party not injured, but looking at his healthy body, he was probably in better condition than before he was injured. He absolutely did not believe that there was no other person helping him behind this. If he knew who this person was, he would tear him into pieces.
