Chapter 627 Li Zhi cried so hard
Gao Wanquan couldn't stand Wang Ping'an's place. His dignified aide actually swept horse manure every day, which was unbearable. But he also knew that he had been ruthlessly abandoned by Li Ke and was regarded as a big joke. It was unlikely that he would make a comeback in the future, but it was not impossible.
King Goujian of Yue has also been lying on firewood and tasting gall. It’s nothing to sweep horse manure by himself. But if you want to turn over, you must make a big contribution. Otherwise, why would Li Ke reuse him again?
Gao Wanquan thought to himself: "A messenger sent to Chang'an is enough, but Wang Ping'an sent two, and they were on the transfer horse. What does this mean? This means that he wants to send the letter back quickly, so the messenger cannot stay overnight at the post station to avoid accidents being stolen. Moreover, the two people delivered the letter to avoid encountering thieves on the road. No two thousand guan can be asked to help the messenger, which means that secret letters are very important and there should be no mistakes!"
This is an opportunity, you must not miss it, you will never come again!
Gao Wanquan made up his mind. Anyway, if he stayed here, he would sooner or later be tortured to death. So just do whatever he wanted and run away!
He saw the groom looking after Wang Ping'an's white dragon horse with his back facing him. He picked up a stick from the corner of the wall, tiptoed to the back of the groom, raised the stick, aimed it at the back of the groom's head, and suddenly. The groom was caught off guard and beaten up. He turned around and stared at Wanquan, then he rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground!
Gao Wanquan was puzzled and went up and kicked the groom again, saying, "Let you abuse me, let you know how powerful I am." He spitted at the groom, and he found dozens of cents from the groom, scolded the poor man a few more times before he picked up the horse.
He had been with the Wang family's horse for so long, and naturally knew which horse was the best. The best one was the White Dragon Horse, but this horse was very strong and he didn't dare to ride it. He had to retreat and chose the second best big red horse. This big red horse is gentle and usually used as a backup mount for Wang Ping'an, and is only a little worse than the White Dragon Horse.
After tied up the saddle, Gao Wanquan turned over and escaped from the governor's mansion. The horse ring was a place with flavor, so it was leaning against the side door. On the one hand, the smell would not smell the governor's family, and on the other hand, it was convenient to enter and exit.
Gao Wanquan is usually very lucky, his name is Wanquan, but he has never been Jingquan. But today his character has exploded. He escaped from the governor's mansion and the city of Qingzhou. He was not intercepted. He was quick to rush and escaped from the territory of Qingzhou in less than a day.
He also saw the two messengers on the way and avoided them. He rode one by one and ran faster than the messenger. He ignored the life and death of the big red horse and urged the horse to run quickly.
After the groom was knocked unconscious, it took half an hour before he woke up slowly. When he saw Gao Wanquan running away, he kidnapped the big red horse, which almost made him crazy. He hurriedly ran to report and informed Ouyang Li.
Ouyang Li was shocked. After Gao Wanquan was exposed, he had long lost his value in using Li Ke, so he didn't need to take it seriously. Second, he saw that he was old and did not lock him up. He thought he could not escape. The Wang family no longer took him seriously. Unexpectedly, the old man Gao actually ran away and even abducted his master's spare mount. This is awesome!
Ouyang Li immediately ordered the two Ouyang brothers to chase after him and to capture Gao Wanquan! He did not dare to tell Wang Ping'an about this matter, of course this was not a big deal. He firmly believed that sending two brothers would definitely capture Gao Wanquan back, and there was no need to tell the master such a trivial matter, which would make the master unhappy in vain.
But things happened to be unexpected. Two thieves from the Western Regions took action and chased after them all the way, but they didn't catch Gao Wanquan. They caught up with the messenger, but they didn't catch up with Gao Wanquan. No matter how fast they ran, they never saw Gao Wanquan ahead. Gao Wanquan seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, missing!
The two Ouyang brothers were both thrown into their homes. They couldn't figure out that the most cunning fox could not escape the shrewd hunter. How could it disappear if an old man was riding such a dazzling big red horse? Why couldn't he catch up?
They didn't dare to go back and report. Being scolded was useless and being useless was a big deal. How could they do anything in the future? They would not be laughed at to death! Two big thieves who were born as horse thieves did not catch up with an old man. How can this matter be explained... they have to be explained as a joke!
After discussing for a long time, they decided not to do it or stop. They simply ran back to Chang'an and waited near the Wu Palace. Anyway, Gao Wanquan was going to see Li Ke. As long as he blocked him in front of the palace, he would rather kill someone in the street than lose their face!
In fact, Gao Wanquan was not as they thought. He ran wildly. After running for a day, he was sure that in terms of the horse's foot strength, the people behind him could not catch up with him so quickly. He found a place to hide and did not run to Chang'an again. It was not until the pursuers behind him that he got on the horse and continued to return to Chang'an.
The official road from Chang'an to Qingzhou is a long way, with a distance of about a thousand miles. When Wang Ping'an took office, he walked the official road. However, if he did not walk on the official road and walked on the small road, although the road was difficult to walk, it would be much closer. Gao Wanquan asked the local people, took the small road, and returned to Chang'an.
After a few steps, even if Brother Ouyang was exhausted, he would not be able to catch up with Gao Wanquan on the way. But at the same time, Gao Wanquan did not expect that the pursuers behind would be able to chase him to Chang'an for the sake of face. His escape plan was mostly halfway, but at the end, he did not calculate.
There is a saying: Travel a hundred miles and a half ninety!
After Wang Ping'an sent someone to send the letter back, he was not idle, but went to Dalianghe River to inspect the terrain. Unfortunately, most of the documents from the previous dynasty were burned down during the war. Otherwise, how the previous dynasty built the canals, and those drawings could be learned from him. Now he can only think about it alone. At least he has to wait until the Chang'an Ministry of Works to send someone to draw the drawings and plan to start construction.
He found Boss Du again and took Boss Du along the river and asked him if he could make a water truck. Boss Du passed down his craftsmanship, and his father was once a top carpenter with superb skills. After listening to Wang Ping'an's description, he felt a little good. He could give Wang Ping'an some small suggestions, but how to build a Lanzhou water truck requires drawings and practice it bit by bit. This is quite time-consuming.
Gao Wanquan finally returned to Chang'an. He suffered a lot along the way, but he finally came back. Seeing the prosperous land of Chang'an again, he was so excited that he burst into tears. It was not easy. He finally returned to heaven from hell. As long as he reported Wang Ping'an's secret letter to Beijing to Li Ke, he knew that no matter whether the news was useful or not, he finally had an excuse to return to the King of Wu's Mansion. Even if he could not regain the wealth of the past, he would always have a life-long meal. At worst, he would have to ask for some money to go home or to vote for another person!
He had planned what to say when he saw Li Ke and how to show his loyalty to the greatest extent. After he had planned, he did not walk through the front door, but followed the wall of the Wu Palace to the back door, intending to enter through the back door. With his current identity, he was not suitable to walk through the front door.
The back door of the King of Wu Mansion is in an alley. On the other side of the alley is another mansion. There are no ordinary people's residences nearby. The place is secluded, and only a few servants will walk through the back door.
Gao Wanquan got off the horse at the back door, he tidied up his clothes and thought to himself, "I wonder if the guardians would let me in? If they knew about me, they would probably not let me in. But I have no money and cannot bribe them!" He sighed, and he had actually reached the point of a betrayal dog. It was so sad.
Leading the big red horse, he came to the back door and was about to go up the steps to knock on the door. Suddenly, a person appeared at the end of the courtyard wall and walked towards him. The man said as he walked, "Tao Da Butler, we are really standing in front of you. I thought we would have to wait for you for a few days. I didn't expect you to run so fast. Which road did you go? Why didn't we see you?"
The one who came here was Ouyang Qi, among the Ouyang brothers. He and Ouyang Ba were ordered to chase after him, but found that they had lost their pursuit. They simply ran wildly, trying to get to the King of Wu Mansion first and block Gao Wanquan here. Fortunately, they had just arrived at the King of Wu Mansion and were stepping on the plate to observe the terrain, but they blocked Gao Wanquan at the back door.
Gao Wanquan naturally recognized this man as one of Wang Ping'an's personal guards. He was surprised and thought to himself: "I am only one last step away from entering the Wu Palace. Why did I encounter pursuers at this critical moment?"
He jumped up the steps, rushed to the back door, pounded the door hard, and shouted: "Open the door, open the door, I am Gao Wanquan, I am back, I have important news to bring to the King of Wu!"
The gate was pounding and pounding, and a servant had heard it from the inner door. The servant wondered, Gao Wanquan? It was Gao Wanquan who killed a bunch of people in the King of Wu's Mansion? Hearing that the aides and guards in the mansion were so angry that they hated him!
On the day of the Polo Club, the Ouyang brothers started a massacre and killed a large number of capable people from the King of Wu who followed the horse farm. The people in the mansion could not find the murderer, but they all knew that it was Gao Wanquan's incompetence that caused the disaster, so they all blamed him, and they were very resentful.
A servant asked, "Who, Gao Wanquan? There is no such person in our mansion!" There were four servants at the back door. When they heard the knock on the door, they came over together.
Outside the door, Ouyang Qi was getting closer and closer. He hugged his shoulders with both hands and smiled and said, "Why are you so angry? What if you knock the door out? Don't your hands hurt? This is the iron gate."
Gao Wanquan knew that the servant was going to make things difficult for him and would not open the door immediately, but he could no longer wait for the situation in front of him. He stopped knocking on the door, jumped off the steps, and wanted to escape from the other end of the alley.
On the other end of the alley, another big man came, Ouyang Ba. Ouyang Ba shook his head and walked, saying, "If you do it carefully, you will have a great risk. If you don't do it well, your head will fall to the ground. My master saw that you are old and did not kill you, but you didn't stop and insisted on provoking trouble. Are you trying to die!"
Both ends were blocked, Gao Wanquan was so scared that his whole body was trembling. His mouth was blew loudly before, but before he went to Wang Ping'an's mansion, he looked like a whistle and squinting expression. But when things came, he found that not everyone could be Jing Ke. If everyone could be killed, then the history books would not record such heroic deeds!
Gao Wanquan's legs became weak, and he knelt down and begged: "Two, two grandpas, please spare me. The little old man was confused for a moment. Now he knows his mistake. You just treat me as a fart and let it go!"
Ouyang Qi and Ouyang Ba walked up to him and shook their heads together. Ouyang Qi said, "Do you know that if you let you go, hundreds of people in our Wang family will fall to the ground together? You are going to kill our whole family first, not we will kill you!"
Ouyang Badao: "What are you talking about to him?" He strode forward and held Gao Wanquan down.
At this moment, a creaking sound was heard, and the back door of the King of Wu Mansion was opened, and the servants also found that something was wrong outside, so they opened the door. Brother Ouyang's face changed drastically, terrible, and he showed his appearance! Ouyang Ba competed with both hands and twisted Gao Wanquan's neck. Ouyang Qi rushed up the steps, kicked the back door open with a slam, pulled out the big knife from his waist, stabbed two servants to death!
The remaining two servants were shocked. They did not expect that someone would dare to go to the King of Wu’s Mansion to kill people. One of the servants turned around and ran away, while the other shouted: “Who are you? How dare you…” The voice stopped abruptly!
Ouyang Qi didn't say a word, killed three servants, rushed directly into the Wu Palace, and cut off the last servant next to a cluster of flowers and trees. Then he ran out of the gate, led the big red horse with Ouyang Ba and ran away together!
The Wu Palace is in chaos!
Only one day later, the messenger sent by Wang Ping'an came to Chang'an, one went to send letters to the two prime ministers, and the other went to the Eastern Palace to send letters to the Crown Prince Li Zhi.
The little eunuch told the prince that Wang Ping'an had a letter, and Li Zhi immediately summoned the messenger and asked about the situation in Qingzhou. The messenger briefly said, but he was not a core member of the guards, and he didn't know about Wu Meiniang, so he couldn't understand some of Li Zhi's "indirect attacks", so Li Zhi had to let him go.
The first letter was written by Wang Ping'an. The content of the letter was relatively empty. He just said vaguely that everything was fine and he didn't have to worry about anything. Li Zhi only looked at it a few times, threw it aside, and opened another letter, which was written by Wu Meiniang.
After only looking at the beginning, tears rose in Li Zhi's eyes. When he saw the middle, he was filled with tears. After reading the letter, he was already crying so hard that he could not hide his sadness!
Shi Aiguo was always serving by his side. After seeing the prince reading the letter, he cried so hard that his tears and snot flowed. In amazement, he secretly glanced at the letter on the table. After a look, he thought to himself: "Fake it, it looks fake. You can't believe in others, can you still believe in Wang Ping'an? How could he let Wu Meiniang suffer so much? Well, Wu Meiniang only talked about her lovesickness, and said that she was heartbroken, but she didn't write anything else. But heartbroken is easier to fake it. Only she knows what she is thinking, and others cannot confirm it!"
But Li Zhi didn't think so. He took a handkerchief, wiped his tears and snot, and said, "Patriotic, I want to go to Qingzhou!"
