Lady Wan Guan

Early the next morning, Wugu personally went to the main peak of Wujun Mountain to collect Baicao Shuang, and then went down the mountain with his disciple.

The Gu technique was mysterious and unpredictable, and Wu Gu was afraid that his precious disciple would suffer a loss.

Just after Jiang Wanning left the capital, Nanny Song, who was beside the Seventh Princess, returned to the post house.

I heard that the King of Ten Thousand Gus was almost thrown to death, and the Seventh Princess' soul was almost scared away. The Seventh Princess still had an important responsibility and had to stay in the palace, so she asked Nanny Song to come back and take a look.

After checking the King of Ten Thousand Gus, Nanny Song breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, okay, Gu King was just a little frightened."

Uncle Ning on the side was relieved.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you repeatedly that no one is allowed to enter this room?" Mother Song asked.

Uncle Ning was trembling: "It was my king's negligence. There was a thief in the post house last night and a lot of things were lost. So I asked someone to report it to the official. Now Mr. Gu from Dali Temple has brought people to investigate the case and calculate the losses." While collecting the items, Lord Gu’s subordinates heard that Elder Song was the attendant of the Saint and that you were not in the post house, so they asked Ruyi to take you to your room. When they saw the jar hidden in the cabinet, this subordinate was curious for a moment. I opened the jar and was almost bitten by the King of Gu, but he was frightened and threw the King of Gu away."

"This is because Ruyi, a cheap maid, is incapable of doing things. I have already severely punished her. She will be handed over to the saintess when she returns to Shu."

Nanny Song looked complicated: "How could it be such a coincidence? As soon as the poison was planted over there, the king of poison was found."

"Is Elder Song worried that the bewitching incident will be exposed? It's impossible, the art of bewitching is very mysterious even in Shu. Who in Daqi knows the art of bewitching? When the king saw the emperor today, his expression was as usual."

Nanny Song said: "Yesterday, Envoy Yang of the Imperial Hospital examined and treated the Emperor. I heard that His Highness also invited Vice-President Jiang, who was regarded as a miracle doctor, to diagnose and treat the Emperor. He didn't see anything wrong, so he concluded that the Emperor was overworked. The discomfort caused by it. However, I heard from the princess that Dr. Jiang is not omnipotent and is only good at treating certain diseases. Moreover, this person is famous for his reputation. During the outbreak of the pox epidemic, he took the credit of others and made it his own. Her reputation as a miracle doctor.”

Uncle Ning Huang said: "So, it is impossible for them to find the problem. They may not have even heard of the Gu technique. All this is just a coincidence."

If there was such a capable person who could tell that the emperor was bewitched, the palace would have been turned upside down and they would have been arrested long ago.

Nanny Song nodded: "It's better to be careful. This room is carefully guarded and no one can be allowed to enter again."

"Elder Song, don't worry, I have people guarding you day and night."

"Elder Song, have you met with the man in the palace?"

"Not yet. The Saint goes to the Royal Garden every afternoon. I believe that person will find a chance to meet her. Then give her the bell and our mission will be completed."

This plan is perfect. The saint casts the poison, and then hands the bell to activate the poison to someone. When they leave the capital and return to Shu, the person will activate the poison again. No one will suspect that the princess is responsible for something big. become.

Once the emperor dies, if the prince successfully succeeds to the throne, the prince will be weak and incompetent and easy to control.

If His Highness is unwilling to give in and takes the opportunity to seize the throne... Daqi will be in chaos, and the opportunity that Shu has been waiting for for many years has arrived.

"By the way, the saint told me that the emperor's uncle must contact Mr. Ming as soon as possible to ask why the batch of medicinal materials and refined iron were not delivered on time. The war is about to begin, and these materials are not yet fully prepared, so preparations must be stepped up."

Uncle Ning Huang said: "The contact signal has been sent out. I believe Mr. Ming will come to see me when he sees it."

Shen Jingshan had actually received the signal to meet quickly, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

No one from Dali Temple could be seen outside the gambling house, but based on his understanding of Gu Zhouting, Gu Zhouting would definitely not let him go since he was suspicious of him. What's more, Mu En's life and death are still uncertain. He didn't dare to leave the secret passage on the other side of Lingxiao Pavilion, for fear that someone would ambush him there and catch a turtle in an urn for him.

Shen Jingshan could only wait patiently, but fortunately the Cuju competition started the day after tomorrow.

This year's Cuju Competition allows ordinary people to watch the competition and pay money to enter. Different locations have different prices. He has already paid a high price to get a front-row seat. He will see the opportunity next time.

I don’t know who came up with this clever idea to make money. There were five games in total, and the court made a lot of money.

In the duty room of Gu Zhouding in Dali Temple.

Zheng Guan came to report that Shen Jingshan's men had bought tickets for all the games for Shen Jingshan, and the seats were in the second row of eight seats in Area C.

Ji Yunchen sneered: "I'm really willing to spend a lot of money, five hundred taels for five games."

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "He only has this opportunity to connect with the people from the Shu Mission."

"What if they hook up? To arrest or not to arrest?"

"What are you trying to catch him for? Isn't it better to play a long game to catch the big fish? We just need to make sure that he has contact with the people from the Shu Mission."

People are keeping an eye on them, and they should follow the clues and clear out the intelligence network that Shu has set up in Daqi.

"Is Beidou Division involved in this matter?"

"Well, we have made an agreement with Mr. Qi from the Beidou Division. My person is too conspicuous, so I will put it in the open, while the Beidou Division will be in the dark, and let Shen Jingshan focus on one thing and not the other."

"It's too bad that Mu En's bones are too hard, huh? Lao Gu, is it that your methods at Dali Temple are not good enough?" Ji Yunchen teased.

Gu Zhouting glanced at him lightly: "You can do it? If you can do it, you can do it."

Ji Yunchen touched his nose and said, "Let's forget it. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and I'll kill someone."

"Tell me about your side. I heard that as soon as Jiang Bochong came back, he met with people from Nan Daying and Dong Daying, and went to see the emperor together to express his objection. Of course, the emperor rejected it." Gu Zhouting asked.

Ji Yunchen said angrily: "Forget it. After two days of discussion and two days of quarreling at the Ministry of War, the emperor asked me to go to the third camp to select people myself. A few of them insisted that the people be given by them. I didn't agree. Then they would send the remaining soldiers to the army. If You Yong gives it to me, what’s the point of forming the Huben Camp?”

Gu Zhouting mused: "If everyone lets you pick, and you pick all the elite soldiers and generals, they will definitely not do it. Why don't you make a compromise, you pick half, they give half, and you have forty-five thousand in your hand." Elite soldiers, the rest, no matter how well you train them, you can always make them look good. The Zhenbei Army is brave and good at fighting, but it is not an iron army that can be achieved in a day."

"The key is to set up the Huben battalion as soon as possible. I have a feeling that something big will happen soon. I have the troops and horses in hand, so I don't panic."

Ji Yunchen thoughtfully said: "What I fear most is that they will put in the details to constrain me."

Gu Zhou paused and laughed: "What's so difficult about this? They arranged the work carefully, but you can't do the opposite? You've been in Beida camp for a while, and you don't have many confidants anymore? Chen Song and his group can take advantage of it."

Ji Yunchen's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Why don't we call you Gu Fox? In terms of cunning, it has to be you."
