I can't die

"An Dehai offended the empress dowagers of the two palaces, is he going to be kicked out of the palace? His hand is broken, and he wants to go back to Beijing for treatment?"

At this time, the Chengde Mountain Resort has long been surrounded by the forces of the eight ministers who are responsible for life, and it is difficult for even a pigeon to fly out. As the celebrity in front of Cixi, An Dehai is naturally one of the number one objects of surveillance. What's more, it is such a big matter to travel to the palace, so naturally we can't hide it from Sushun and others.

"I'm afraid that the medical treatment is false, and it is true to return to Beijing to rescue the soldiers."

Su Shun snorted coldly.

"It's just that An Dehai is a member of the harem after all. The queen mother wants to drive people away. In name, we can't force them to stay. It's a bit troublesome."

Prince Yi Zaiheng was thinking about this matter in his heart, thinking of countermeasures, and finally a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he asked the person who came to report, "How long has he been gone?"

"It's been half an hour."

"one person?"

"Report to my lord, yes."

"In that case, go find someone to follow from a distance, and when you get to a place where no one is around, you can figure it out yourself."

Zai Heng's words "you can figure it out" easily decided An Dehai's life or death.In fact, if An Dehai is in the palace, after all, there are so many eyes staring at him, and he is proud in front of Cixi, it is still a bit difficult to start. If he goes out alone, it will be close to death?

When An Dehai heard that Cixi was going to ask him to send a secret letter, why didn't he know that his trip to the capital might be more eye-catching than the Tang monk who went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures?It's just that his series of honors and pets are all tied to Cixi, even if he knows the mountains of swords and fires, he has no choice but to make a breakthrough.

Here, I have to really admire these eunuchs, who is not a ruthless person who can get rich with that knife?An Dehai was the best among them. He endured the pain of broken bones, held the rein of the horse with one hand, and rushed to Beijing non-stop after leaving the summer resort.

As I said before, Chengde had built a wide official road to Beijing since the reign of Shengzu, but now An Dehai was worried that the eight ministers would block the road, so he had to choose a small road.This walk lasted for one day, and he stayed all night without stopping, before he walked halfway to "Gubeikou", but he still breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the bonfire in Gubeikou Town from afar.

After staying past "Gubeikou", they calculated the sphere of influence of Sushun and the others, and they would definitely be much safer than before.

An Dehai slowly slowed down the speed of the horse, ready to enter the city.

"No!" But not long after An Dehai approached, a kind of natural vigilance came to his heart.

has a problem!

An Dehai entered the palace early, so he knows a lot of common sense in the officialdom.It was night at this time. It is reasonable to say that "Gubeikouzi" is a prosperous business, and it is impossible to close the city gate so late. Now the gate of the city is brightly lit, and the guards at the gate still have not retired. It must be a fraud.

Could it be that the sphere of influence of Sushun and others has already reached this point, is it impossible to sit on the sidelines here?

The honor and disgrace of Cixi's lineage and An Dehai's own safety are all in the midst of this thought. An Dehai never dared to take such a gamble, and immediately turned around, kicked the horse's ass, turned and ran away.

Immediately, the horse groaned in pain, hissed, kicked its legs and rushed out.

When An Dehai went to the capital, Cixi naturally arranged for a rare thousand-mile horse. This thousand-mile horse kicked fast and made a loud noise. Although it was difficult to catch up with, the city guards at the gate immediately felt something was wrong when they heard the sound of the horse running. , hurriedly chased over.

An Dehai was driving the horse, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the flames chasing after him, and he broke his heart.Secretly scolding these errands, they are usually lazy and lazy in doing things, why are they working so hard at this time?He was so busy that he didn't dare to look back, and went directly into the mountains on both sides.

Located in the valley between two hills, Gubeikou is the fastest way to the capital, easy to defend but difficult to attack.And Haimeng rode his horse into the hills with his head on his head. He gave up his horse and jumped into the spring in the mountain, and then sank down.

The guards of the city gate chased the horse's hoof marks all the way to the mountain, secretly rejoicing that this person is really stupid, the mountain roads are overgrown with bushes, and the horse is sad. Didn't this person seek his own death?But I never thought that after I really came after the horseshoe prints, I only found the horse, but I couldn't find the person.

"What should the imperial envoy do?"

Seeing this, the city guard had no choice but to ask for instructions.But he saw that the man was an old man in Chinese clothes with an orchid finger in his hand.

"What else can I do? Search it. But you must not let that little bastard escape."

The voice sounded like a man and a woman, it must be an eunuch, An Dehai watched quietly through the water, but he didn't expect that Sushun's power had penetrated into the eunuch.You must know that the palace affairs have always been controlled by the empress dowagers of the two palaces, and Cixi's methods have even protected the entire house of internal affairs.Unexpectedly, there will be a day when everything is secret and sparse.

"It's actually Liu Jinzhong!" An Dehai recognized him.It's no wonder that Liu Jinzhong was the former emperor's eunuch. When the late emperor died, he naturally lost power. Compared with the favor of An Dehai, Li Lianying and others in front of the queen mothers of the two palaces and the new emperor, Liu Jinzhong inevitably wanted to find another master.

"But this Gubei mountain is very big. If you search every inch, the small ones will not have enough manpower. I'm afraid it will delay your father-in-law's palace affairs. Please also ask your father-in-law to ask for orders and send more people over." The city guard also said the same thing. A tactful person, he naturally knew that it was not easy to search the mountains, so he hurriedly kicked the ball over.

"This..." Liu Jinzhong was displeased when he heard the words, but thinking about it in his heart, he also felt that it didn't make sense. This deep mountain and old forest is full of bushes, and it's hard to find a sight. It's really not easy to find someone who wants to hide .

"Since it's hard to find, the higher-ups didn't say that they must be alive. Let's find some oil and burn the mountain." Liu Jinzhong sneered with a cold light in his eyes.

"Hiss!" The city guard gasped when he heard this.I thought to myself: What a vicious eunuch!What a crime it would be to set fire to people.I don't know how many creatures live in this Gubei mountain, and if it is burned down, at least tens of thousands of lives will be lost.

Liu Jinzhong seemed to see the reluctance of the city guard, raised his eyebrows, pinched his eyebrows, looked straight at the city guard and said, "What's the matter? If you let go, you and I will lose our lives. Hurry up and be quick." on."

The city guard was helpless so far, so he had to follow suit.After a while, bursts of black smoke could be seen rising from the Gubei Mountain, and a big fire spread from the foot of the mountain.

It was July at this time, the weather was already hot, and there was not much rain. Once the fire spread, how could the creatures all over the mountain survive?Even if they are not burned to death, they will be suffocated to death by the smoke.

Seeing that this group of people dared to set fire to the mountain, An Dehai was shocked, and felt chilled by the methods of the people who hunted him down.He couldn't help but secretly rejoiced that fortunately he was familiar with water, so he took a quick breath and went down the river.

After Liu Jinzhong burned the mountain, he told everyone to guard the foot of the mountain, and to see how An Dehai escaped, he felt a burst of joy.The more he saw the raging fire in front of him, the more complacent the smile on his face was, and the more chilled the city guard and others looked.

After staying for two hours, the fire burned the entire hill so that not a single blade of grass could grow.Seeing this, Liu Jinzhong didn't dare to relax, he hurriedly asked people to search for An Dehai's body on the mountain, he wanted to see the body if he was alive, and he wanted to see the corpse if he was dead.

"Reporting to the imperial envoy, the body of that person was not found."

After setting fire to the mountain, the entire mountain became empty, and the trees that blocked the view were gone. Naturally, the search was quick, and after a while, soldiers came to report back.

When Liu Jinzhong heard this, his complexion changed drastically.

"How?! Could it be that An Dehai really escaped?"

In desperation, Liu Jinzhong actually said An Dehai's name.When the city guard heard the name, his expression was pale, but his heart was puzzled.Everyone knows that An Dehai is the most proud person in front of Cixi, but now the imperial envoy actually ordered them to kill him?

Could it be that the imperial decree was passed on falsely?But after thinking about it, it didn't look like it.He had seen the imperial decree with his own eyes, and it was indeed issued by the Military Aircraft Department and signed by the eight ministers.this. . . .There must be something strange.What's more, personally ordering to hunt down and kill an eunuch, there are so many tricks in it. . .

"Eunuch, what should I do?"

The city guard secretly looked at the eunuch delivering the decree.

"Did you watch the mountain that the man entered with your own eyes?"

"Exactly!"

"This..." Liu Jinzhong was preoccupied with this matter, but he didn't notice that the city guard had begun to change his formation.

"Is there a spring in this mountain?"

"There is a creek."

The city guard replied.

"It must be!" Hearing this, Liu Jinzhong thought that An Dehai was really lucky. He escaped death, and he must have escaped the fire by sneaking into the stream.

"Where does the stream lead to?"

"It goes straight to the outside of Gubei Town."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jinzhong's complexion changed drastically.

"Oops! That kid must have escaped along the stream. We must not let him escape from Gubei. The entire foot of the mountain is surrounded by us, so he probably didn't go far. Go find some poison quickly. Descend into the brook, and let him die without a place to bury him."

Weird!

This eunuch really lost his conscience.

The city guard was speechless at this moment, he hurriedly stopped hesitating: "This can't be allowed, this stream leads directly to Gubei Town, it's the drinking water for the whole town, it's definitely not allowed.!"

Liu Jinzhong didn't care so much, he only thought about the result of An Dehai's escape, suppressed his anger and shouted: "Master Li! I think you don't want to be an official! If you are escaped by that thief, you and I will die Different place!"

So far, Li Chengshou couldn't tolerate the eunuch's misbehavior anymore.

"Elder-in-law, the burning mountain, the forbidden city, and the lower officials have all heard about it, but this one is not enough, and the Holy One will blame it. Li must not do such a senseless thing!"

Although Li Chengshou was a bit greedy as an official, he never dared to do so.Poisoning the stream, what is the difference between asking him to kill all the people in Gubei Town himself?

"Master Li!"

"There is no need to mention this matter again. I will write a statement to the emperor in person. I think the emperor is wise, and I will definitely understand Li."
