Chapter 374 Killing Intent

When the flood broke out, immediately, as the lord of a country, what he should have done was to discuss the flood relief with various personnel.

It was only because the case of Gu Yuqing's kidnapping was mixed in, which was like thunder in the clear sky, and it affected the emperor's heart. In addition, Xiao Yu and Gu Zhen were involved in it, so the matter was temporarily shelved.

His eyes paused on Xiao Yi and Xiao Duo for a moment, then pointed at Xiao Yi. The emperor said: "Go with him to the place where the incident occurred immediately and survey the local situation clearly. You can use whoever should be used. There is no need to contact him separately." When I report back, I must keep casualties to a minimum."

Xiao Yi was ordered to turn around immediately.

The emperor thought for a moment and then said: "You will also be fully responsible for the relief matters after the flood. This time, it is not a trivial matter. You must be cautious."

Xiao Yi nodded, his face full of determination, "I know, father, don't worry, I will definitely get things done."

As he spoke, he took the station master with him and left.

It wasn't until Xiao Yi completely disappeared from the imperial study that Xiao Duo finally came to his senses. After realizing what had happened, his heart trembled a few times, "Father, where is your minister..."

The emperor glanced at him, with disappointment and anger in his eyes. He did not answer Xiao Duo's words, but said to the servant: "Call me the commander of the forbidden army."

The commander of the imperial army was on duty in the palace and went immediately after receiving the order.

"Take your people, together with the Jingwei camp, and I will leave it to you to mobilize, and assign some people to assist the third prince to ensure orderly order after the disaster. The rest will all go to find the fourth prince and Gu Zhen." The emperor clenched his fist and ordered. .

He said this on his lips, but silently said it over and over in his heart, "You must not let anything happen to you."

The emperor is not unaware of how lethal flash floods can be.

But it doesn't mean that everyone in Cuiping Mountain will suffer. As long as they don't happen to be in a place where flash floods must pass, there is still a possibility of survival.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.

The commander of the imperial army took the order to leave, and when he went out, he passed by a little servant who ran in panting.

"Your Majesty, this servant went to Master Lu's residence to deliver a message, but Master Lu is not in the residence." The chamberlain said, panting heavily, obviously rushing back all the way.

not there?

The emperor immediately turned his eyes and shot at Xiao Duo with a stern gaze, "Lu Jiuzheng was your guarantee, so I spared his life and allowed him to continue serving as an official in the capital. But now something like this happened, why on earth did he kidnap Gu Yuqing! "

When Xiao Duo heard this, he knelt down with a plop.

His knees hit the marble floor hard, making a loud noise. He didn't dare to frown. At this moment, any quibble could set him on fire. All he could do was follow the emperor's words.

"My son is guilty, my son... I really don't know that Lu Jiuzheng has such a wolfish heart and would do such a thing. As for what he has to do with the Marquis of Chi Nan, I really don't know anything about it." Xiao Duo Kowtow and confess.

The emperor snorted coldly, "Don't think that I don't know if I don't tell you. You tried your best to report to Lu Jiuzheng. In addition to his contribution to King Duan, the most important thing is that he gave you a lot of money." A generous gift!”

Xiao Duo's heart suddenly trembled, and he knelt on the ground, resting his head on the ground, not daring to express his anger.

Since the emperor has said it, if he denies it, it will add fuel to the fire.

As he was talking, the chamberlain announced that Dou Hengshu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, had arrived. In front of outsiders, the emperor would naturally not want to expose his family scandal. He glared at Xiao Duo angrily and waved him to get up, "You go back to the house, I will settle the score with you tomorrow." !”

Xiao Duo remained as silent as a cicada and tremblingly resigned.

The rain is still falling, but not as hard as when it came. It is just a patter, like cow hair.

Changshun raised an oil-paper umbrella over Xiao Duo's head, but Xiao Duo snatched it away, folded it into two pieces with both hands, and threw it aside.

Changshun was so frightened that he hurried to pick it up.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" He turned back and followed Xiao Duo cautiously and asked.

Xiao Duo clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger, "That idiot Lu Jiuzheng!"

Hearing that he mentioned Lu Jiuzheng, Changshun immediately said: "Fortunately, Your Highness is delayed because of something. If he really went to the wooden house halfway up Cuiping Mountain and a flash flood broke out, then it would be fine."

Knowing that there was a flash flood in Cuiping Mountain, Changshun was thankful to have half a stick of incense.

It is true that our ancestors have accumulated good deeds and are blessed by Bodhisattvas!
When I turned back, I had to go to the Great Buddha Temple to light an ever-burning lantern for my ancestors.

Little thoughts flashed by, and Chang Shun said again: "I'm afraid that Lu Jiuzheng and Miss Gu will die in Cuiping Mountain at this time, and I don't know if the secret guards assigned to him by His Highness came down in time. Logically speaking, His Highness did not According to the pre-arranged agreement, they will wait at the cabin and they won’t stay there for too long.”

Changshun's words gave Xiao Duo some hope, but in the end he was too angry. This little hope was of no avail. He just thought for a moment that Gu Yuqing, Gu Zhen, Xiao Yu and Lu Jiuzheng might all die in Cuiping Mountain. Xiao Duo's heart The dullness was slightly reduced a lot.

His father knew that he was willing to beg for mercy to protect Lu Jiuzheng because he had received a lot of money from Lu Jiuzheng. Since his father did not tell the truth at first, he nodded in agreement, which shows that this matter was not worth mentioning in his heart.

This matter came up again, but it was just because the father was angry and vented his anger, but he was not disturbed by this matter.

I was just afraid that it would be terrible if Lu Jiuzheng came back alive and confessed him in front of his father.

There was also Gou Shengde, who was escorted back to the Chinanhou Mansion by Gu Zhen for personal interrogation. If Gou Shengde couldn't withstand Gu Zhen's methods and resorted to everything...

These are what Xiao Duo feels most uneasy about at the moment.

No, none of them can live, none of them can live!

Taking a breath of the cold air mixed with rain, Xiao Duo said: "Let the people from Tianque come to see me."

Changshun turned his head, "Now? Your Highness."

"Nonsense! Not now, why don't we have to wait until the Chinese New Year!" Xiao Duo was upset and angry.

Changshun was immediately spitted all over his face, his neck shrunk, he held his head and ran away, "I'll go, my slave."

God, the way His Highness roared was so scary, mother, you almost scared me to death!In the future, when I talk to His Highness, I can’t get so close. Don’t dodge the open and hidden arrows. In the end, I was frightened to death by His Highness. Then wouldn’t my long-lasting reputation be ruined?

Changshun felt a burst of curse in his heart, but Xiao Duo naturally had no idea about it and dragged his heavy legs all the way out.

"Ah Qing... Ah Qing..."

Gu Yuqing closed her eyes tightly, feeling that her body was floating and swaying, as if floating on the water, and a familiar voice came to her ears, calling her one after another, low and yet gentle.

"Xiao Yu..." Although his eyes didn't open, he called out a name with all his strength.

As soon as her voice came out, she felt her hands being held by someone and placed to her lips. A lipstick that was clearly cold but felt hot to her fell down and then lifted up again. There was a voice in her ear, "It's me, it's me!" Choking with excitement, he said, "You finally woke up."
