Gu Yuanbai looked at the group of assassins scrutinizingly and said, "Send people to continue searching in the perimeter to see if there are any more who have missed the net."
The guards sullenly answered in unison, and then quickly searched the perimeter, but also really searched out a few not yet fled the "fish out of the net".
The Xue Mansion's boys knelt in rows, one by one, their heads lowered without speaking. Gu Yuanbai's tone was mixed, "You're all together?"
The Xue Mansion's boys looked at each other in dismay, and the one kneeling at the end made a sound and respectfully said, "Your Holiness, the little ones are not all the way with this group of assassins."
Gu Yuanbai asked coolly, "Then who are you?"
"The little ones are all from the Xue House," the boy said in response, "This time, they came here on ...... the orders of Duke."
The Grand Duke's orders were followed by the Second Duke. They really didn't know which Duke's name to say, so they made a vague remark.
When Gu Yuanbai heard the words "Xue Mansion", he was about to knit his brows, but he suddenly smiled coldly, "Someone sent by Xue Yuan?"
A few moments of shock appeared on the boy's face.
Sure enough.
It wasn't enough for Xue Yuan to put wolves around Gu Yuanbai, he even sent someone to keep an eye on Gu Yuanbai's whereabouts? What was he doing, to keep an eye on what Gu Yuanbai did or did not do at all times, seeing the Emperor as his property?
His Holiness's face shifted and changed, anger rising faintly, but it was not a friendly good look by any stretch of the imagination.
The Xue mansion's boy seemed to know what he was thinking and hurriedly explained, "Your Holiness, the little ones don't dare to pry into the Holy Trail, we have followed Lord Chu here."
Gu Yuanbai's face stiffened.
Halfway through the day, he suddenly smiled softly, "Very well."
Looking at his expression, the boy's heart was frightened, so he had the bright idea to say, "We don't mean any harm, we're just here to protect Lord Chu!"
Protecting Lord Chu as an excuse is better than truthfully trying to kill Lord Chu.
The original male main attacker sent someone to follow the original male main subject, normal, normal but not normal. They are a natural pair, Xue far away from the northern border, is should send people to protect Chu Wei.
Love is stronger than gold.
When Chu Wei heard this, the corner of his lips curled up in a cold smile, almost easily thinking of what Xue Yuan was doing this for.
Because Xue Yuan went to the northern border, because Chu Wei stayed by the side of the saint, so he could not see Chu Wei. Field paths, no one around, is the intention to kill him here?
When Chu Wei was about to snort out a laugh, Gu Yuanbai was really convinced as he said, "Since it's a private matter between you and Lord Chu, then I'll stay out of it and you guys deal with it on your own." After saying that, he smiled faintly, and when his line of sight crossed the Xue Mansion's boys, these boys went cold and couldn't help but shiver.
Gu Yuanbai just went all the way back to the palace in peace. Those who had committed the assassination were pressed by the guards and immediately prepared for interrogation.
As soon as the saint walked back into the palace, those two wolves tried to rush up to wail and pout, but Gu Yuanbai ignored them and walked behind the table to sit down as if he didn't see them.
The two wolves seemed to have sensed his mood and wilted with their tails between their legs as they walked over to the table and plopped down. Gu Yuanbai's face was expressionless as he casually pulled out a zhengbiao and read it.
The people waiting in the palace already knew about the assassination of the saint, each mouth tightly closed, a small wing. The palace is getting more and more quiet, the sound of breathing seems to be clearly audible. After a while, suddenly there is a folding table tapping sound, Tian Fusheng a jolt, subconsciously raised his head to look forward.
Gu Yuanbai sensed his gaze and smiled, "Why are all of you so nervous?"
Tian Fusheng's voice tightened, "The little ones are worried that you have been infuriated by the assassin."
"What's there to be angry about," Gu Yuanbai laughed as he threw the zhang folds that he had just slapped on the table on top of the base of zhang folds that he had been criticizing, and said slowly, "They're all a bunch of unimpressive things that aren't worth making me angry."
OK, Tian Fusheng silently thought, is indeed angry. The saint normally would not talk like this, gentle as if he would not lose his temper, those assassins can really have the ability, just so the saint angry.
While waiting for the guards to interrogate the assassin, Gu Yuanbai pulled out another zhengbiao from the bottom and opened it, the handwriting flew in a dragon's hand, his eyes were cold. When he looked at the content inside, he even let a sudden cold laugh spill out.
The whole thing is full of obscenities and ambiguous and charming words.
Xue Yuan, you are really good looking, you are really good.
Ran to my front and I confessed, with me over and over again said like, long-distance running to my front crazy, go to serve me kissed me said to me desperately.
Then behind your back, send someone to follow Chu Wei, to protect your destined brother.
What a good Xue Jiuyao, what a good General Xue.
The first snowfall in the Northland. Fuck the first snowfall.
Gu Yuanbai directly threw the book on the ground.
The eunuchs and palace maidens in the palace breathed a sigh of relief and knelt on the ground in unison, "Your Holiness rest your anger."
Gu Yuanbai stood up and touched the jade trigger finger on his hand, coldly condescendingly looking at the zhengbian.
Xue Yuan can dislike Gu Yuanbai, can go after Chu Wei, can go like anyone he wants to like. But he shouldn't send such a letter full of hot emotions towards Gu Yuanbai while going back and forth with Chu Wei.
You passionately pursued me while you went and got entangled with another person, Gu Yuanbai thought it was simply ridiculous.
Even though up to now it was equivalent to Gu Yuanbai whoring out Xue Yuan for free, the moment Xue Yuan made this one move, the original text's relationship between the male lead and the attacker and the victim surfaced clearly in front of Gu Yuanbai's eyes, and Gu Yuanbai's anger was suppressed as if he was the one who was being whored out.
Are you playing me for a fool?
"Burn it." Gu Yuanbai suddenly spoke out.
Tian Fusheng answered yes, and was about to bend down and pick up the zhangzhi on the ground when Gu Yuanbai added, "No, it's a shame to burn them. Return all these things to the northern border one by one, and whoever wrote them, return them to my arms."
His voice grew colder and colder, and he threw the letters that Xue Yuan had sent in the past, which were all about to fall into dust, onto the ground, "Tell him. If he dares to write me another such word, I will directly kill him."
Tian Fusheng answered in a low voice, lowered his head and hand shaking to pick up the ground folders. In front of him there is a page of letters unfolded in front of his eyes, Tian Fusheng inadvertently glanced at the top of the see "I want to think of you want to dream are you" this sentence, he was scared heart jumped, and hastily closed the letters to move away from the eyes, do not dare to look at a glance.
Gu Yuanbai had already taken his seat, the white jade trigger on his thumb turning around, his face expressionless and silent, his majesty making the air start to tighten as well.
Finally, the person who went to interrogate the assassins came over with a strange expression and said, "Your Holiness, those assassins said that they were sent here by the Western Xia emissaries."
Gu Yuanbai's movement of turning the jade trigger finger stopped for a moment, raised his eyes to look at the guards, and tugged his lips, "Western Xia emissary."
That's good.
Here comes the punching bag.
*
The guards had never seen anyone dumber than the Western Xia emissaries, or than these assassins.
But they didn't care if the Western Xia emissary was swept away by the excitement of the moment, instead they immediately received the decree and went to encircle the Ming Sheng stage to arrest the Western Xia emissary.
The heavily armored forbidden army ran towards the sounding stage at a fast pace, approaching the sounding stage with sharp weapons. In the imperial palace, all the ministers quickly ran towards the Xuanzheng Hall, following His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts to urgently formulate strategies.
The Western Xia envoys have attempted to assassinate the Emperor, and they have been caught red-handed, so they are guilty as sin! They are from now on the sinners of Daheng, and need to be imprisoned in the middle of Daheng as criminals, and need that thing from the Western Xia Emperor to redeem them!
Time is running out, Gu Yuanbai directly hammered out, "5,000 good horses, 10,000 cows and 10,000 sheep, 5 million taels of silver, and 3 million stones of grain. Let the Western Xia Emperor empty his treasury to redeem them!"
The saint's tone is full of killing intent, the courtiers only thought that the saint was angry by the Western Xia emissary sent assassination, a few of them for the problem: "The saint, so much, the other side does not give how to do?"
"We'll talk slowly when the time comes," Gu Yuanbai, "If he doesn't give it, then wait to receive his son's corpse and wait for my army!"
Soldiers taboo, the most taboo an army on both sides of the war. Now the border is urgent, Daheng can not and western Xia war, but how also have to peel down a layer of skin of western Xia.
For a place as small as Western Xia, these things are almost their entire treasury.
It's best that the treasury of Western Xia doesn't have so many things, and it's best that the Emperor of Western Xia favors the seventh prince Li Angshun, and it's best that he loves his son as much as his life, and forcibly levies the money from the magnates for the good of the country.
On the way back from the Western Xia emissary being brought back by the forbidden army, the ministers had already argued back and forth about the compensation several times. Seeing that they were even still obsessing over the amount of compensation, Gu Yuanbai sipped a mouthful of tea and lightly said, "Lords, have you forgotten that the Western Xia emissary had given you a gift?"
The courtiers froze.
"Night pearls, rare medicinal herbs, once-in-a-century rarities," Gu Yuanbai narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, saying softly, "People have money in Western Xia."
Yeah.
It dawned on the ministers that Western Xia had money.
They tasted the taste, and looked around to the surrounding ministers, the old man in the court is sitting leisurely on the seat, sipping the pointed tea that the saint specially let people brew, leisurely, so happy!
Quarreling people back to God, also do not quarrel, are sitting down to rest, and then sip a mouthful of hot tea. Waiting for the chest relief after, previously argued the most powerful Confucianism, feel the need to reduce the indemnity again a simple smile, said: "that the saint, now set the number, is not a little less ah?"
"......" Gu Yuanbai said in a slow voice, "That's not a lot."
The Privy Councillor sighed: "Lord Huang, although Western Xia is rich, but after all, it is a small place, the old minister thinks that the amount set by His Majesty is just right. The mouth first bigger is not afraid, if the Western Xia emperor really can not take out, we Daheng will sympathize with them, can be appropriate to drop a drop."
"True enough," the Senator nodded fervently, "Our dynasty state is a state of etiquette after all, and we must also be lenient and understanding."
Lord Huang stroked his beard and said gratefully, "It is as it should be."
