The Great Hero [Comprehensive Martial Arts]
Chapter 73
The thick and dark side shown by Emperor Qing actually surprised Hua Yunxi quite a bit.
At least, for a courtier like him who doesn't want to get involved in the miscellaneous factional struggles and just wants to serve the court, it's not a bad thing for the emperor to have some scheming and means.
And this young prince who is completely different from the image described in the rumors...
It made Hua Yunxi a little bit confused.
If one judges only by the other party's words and deeds just now, Hua Yunxi may think that the other party is a perverted person who is not easy to get along with, but now——
"I have long heard that the seven young masters of the Hua family are all excellent. Seeing them today, they really deserve their reputation."
After sending Wang An away, Chu Xiao immediately approached Hua Yunxi and made friends.
There was a warm and friendly smile on his face, and his mouth was also very sweet, and there were all kinds of praises in his mouth. What kind of Yushu Linfeng was young and promising, Hua Yunxi blushed a little when he heard it.
And Chu Xiao's appearance is really deceptive.
He already had a tender baby face, and because of his young age, there was a bit of childishness in his brows and eyes. When he smiled, he showed two small dimples and a mouthful of small white teeth, which was not to mention very pleasing.
It reminded Hua Yunxi of the white, tender, soft and cute appearance of his seventh brother when he was young.
Favorability increased in minutes.
Hmm... Hua Yunxi felt that Chu Xiao must have been cooperating with Emperor Qing in acting just now. In order to help Emperor Qing take Wang Anzhi away, he had to destroy his image and pretend to be that arrogant and surly appearance.
Emperor Qing, who was always actively or passively taking the blame for his younger brother: "..."
It's ok.
Anyway, he's used to it.
And quite willingly?
Guessing that the image was almost whitewashed, Chu Xiao changed the subject and smiled at Hua Yunxi pretending to be mysterious: "It's also fate. When I was traveling last year and passed by Jiangnan, I accidentally met two people. friend."
"And one of them has a deep relationship with Playboy."
Before Chu Xiao could continue to play tricks, Hua Yunxi couldn't help guessing: "My lord, the friend you mentioned is the younger brother of the minister?"
When it comes to origin, Hua Yunxi's first guess is naturally his brothers.
And the reason why he decided that the friend Chu Xiao met was Hua Manlou was because among his brothers, only Hua Manlou stayed in Jiangnan most of the time.
Although the Hua family is based in the south of the Yangtze River, the business properties under its name spread all over the country. After Hua Ruling got older, he felt that he lacked mental strength, so he simply handed over the various businesses to his sons.
But those business dealings that are too heavy for ordinary people to imagine are naturally not something that can be taken over just by taking over.
Except for Hua’s eldest son who was the first to come into contact with these matters with his father and accumulated rich experience, the others are very busy. They can only have a few days of leisure during the New Year’s and holidays, gathering in Jiangnan to accompany their families.
Therefore, what Chu Xiao is most likely to come into contact with is Huamanlou, who is left under his nose to take care of Huamanlou because of his eye disease, which makes the elders in the family feel at ease.
"Yes."
Chu Xiao nodded with a smile and said, "The two friends I met are the seven children of the Hua family and the four-browed Lu Xiaofeng."
"It's really a coincidence."
Hua Yunxi sighed subconsciously at first, and then realized that he seemed to know a big secret by accident?
The little prince who announced to the outside world that his old illness had relapsed and was going to rest in bed, actually took the opportunity to sneak out of the palace?
To be honest, Hua Yunxi immediately became suspicious of Chu Xiao's true intentions for this "excursion out of the palace" as soon as he realized it.
It couldn't be just a coincidence, could it be that the young prince secretly went out to Beijing, and then the emperor suddenly had evidence to punish those rebellious officials who had been restless in the court for a long time?
Intuition told him that there must be a connection between these two things.
He had a wild guess.
Perhaps, the criminal evidence presented by Emperor Qing was actually the result of the little prince's secret investigation during his trip to the palace?
The slight changes in Hua Yunxi's expression were captured by Chu Xiao one by one. After guessing that the other party had almost made up his mind, Chu Xiao raised his hand and patted Hua Yunxi's shoulder meaningfully.
"Actually, I came here specially to find Playboy today."
Hua Yunxi: "..."
A little square.
In the current situation, it is really easy to make people associate with bad things.
"Young man, don't worry too much." Noticing the anxiety in Hua Yunxi's eyes, Chu Xiao hurriedly skipped the foreshadowing steps, and directly stated his purpose: "I just want to ask you for a favor." That's all."
"Then what... I heard that Huamanlou will come to Beijing to give you a congratulatory gift in a few days. Then, can you help me make an appointment with him?"
Hua Yunxi immediately understood.
To put it bluntly, Chu Xiao just wanted to take the opportunity to confess his identity to Hua Manlou.
And he happened to be a ready-made middleman.
Hua Yunxi naturally had no reason to refuse this kind of effort, he agreed without hesitation, and then received a particularly sincere thank you from Chu Xiao.
Feeling flattered?
Seeing Chu Xiao who left the imperial study with brisk steps after achieving his goal, Hua Yunxi couldn't help but a smile flashed in his eyes, thinking that although this little prince is a bit unpredictable, his temperament should not be bad.
His younger brother did not make friends.
Chu Xiao, who is not bad-natured, got angry and it was really scary. Wu Gui was so scared that he would kneel every minute.
"Tell me the truth, what have you done without telling me?!"
Chu Xiao pinched the urgent letter received two quarters of an hour ago, his face was very ugly, and he stared at Wu Gui with murderous intent: "If the spies I sent to investigate Wuming Island happened to find out about this Do you plan to wait for Ye Gucheng to arrive in the capital before confessing to me?"
"No, no, I don't have the guts to be so young. His Majesty forced me to do this!"
Wu Gui repeatedly shook his head in denial, while trying to transfer Chu Xiao's anger to Emperor Qing.
In the past, his trick might be useful, but the current situation is different from what he imagined.
He had just been called from outside by someone sent by Chu Xiao, and he hadn't figured out the situation yet, but he had a rough guess from Chu Xiao's words.
It seems that some spies on other missions happened to find out about Ye Gucheng's entry into Beijing, and then reported it to his master?
Then... master, he wouldn't be so angry.
Still want to play tricks?Chu Xiao laughed back in anger, and simply raised his hand and threw the letter into Wu Gui's arms.
"See for yourself what kind of trouble you have caused!"
If it was because of Wugui's helping Emperor Qing to send a message to Ye Gucheng behind his back, Chu Xiao would not be so angry, he was angry at the consequences of this incident.
Although the spy he sent to the unnamed island failed to complete the task due to a combination of circumstances, he found out a very important piece of information by accident.
The son of the Southern Prince had been to Baiyun City and stayed in the city for a while.
It is not difficult for Chu Xiao to guess the intention of Nanwang and his son's move, and Ye Gucheng's reaction can also be derived from Nanwang's behavior of sending people to Baiyun City to find trouble.
Ye Gucheng may have been prepared for a long time.
But no matter how well prepared he was, he couldn't stand up to Nan Wang's insidious schemes.
He probably expected that Ye Gucheng would not easily agree to his solicitation, so he had placed manpower on Feixian Island in advance. When the plan to attack Feixian Island from the outside failed, the dark chess ambushing on the island would come. played a role.
Overnight, more than a dozen families on Feixian Island were infected with the plague.
The epidemic virus is contagious, and no matter how abundant the medicinal materials on the island are, it cannot support the huge consumption that is increasing day by day.
Nan Wang made it clear that he wanted to use the lives of the people in this city to force Ye Gucheng to compromise.
If Ye Gucheng was still on Feixian Island at this time, there might be room for things to change, but the problem is that he is not here!
Fortunately, the spy was also trapped on Feixian Island in order to investigate the traces of Gong Jiu.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, he simply slashed first and then played, and got in touch with a dragon guard who was lurking under Nanwang's subordinates, telling him to quickly mobilize Lingnan's manpower to rescue him, only then did he turn the tide and did not cause a big disaster disaster.
……
After reading the detailed report on the whole incident in the letter, the anger and fear in Chu Xiao's heart can be imagined.
He didn't directly clean up Wu Gui, because Wu Gui didn't cause any major fault in this matter, but only added a little chaos indirectly, but there must be lessons that should be learned.
Otherwise, Wu Gui, a heartless guy, would definitely not have a long memory!
Wu Gui, who finally figured out what was going on, was also full of fear, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He was also obedient, knowing that he would not escape punishment this time, so he simply jumped in before Chu Xiao could speak. He knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Chu Xiao narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.
He knew that Wu Gui was a rough-skinned and thick-skinned person who remembered eating but not beating, so mental torture was more effective than corporal punishment.
For example, the way his royal brother often used to threaten Wugui.
"How about this."
Tapping the table with his fingertips one after another, Chu Xiao said slowly: "You go out of the palace immediately to meet the convoy from Baiyun City, and after you escort them to the capital, go and clean up the mess in Lingnan. .”
that's it?
Wu Gui blinked, feeling a little unbelievable.
Such an understatement of punishment is not in line with his master's usual style of doing things.
After deliberately pausing for a moment, and after Wu Gui relaxed his vigilance, Chu Xiao said the last and most serious punishment.
"If you can't do such a simple thing properly, and if something goes wrong, then you will stay by my side and be a little eunuch honestly."
Chu Xiao glanced at Wu Gui's lower body with a murderous look in his smile, and added, "It's a real eunuch."
Wu Gui's eyes suddenly went dark.
Just hopeless.
