Chapter 302 A code known only to two people
"What does the Third Prince mean?" Gu Qingzhi looked at Shangguan Nanxing, still a little confused.
"Tomorrow morning, when the people are out and about, I will return with great fanfare. It would be best if all the people in the city knew that I, Shangguan Nanxing, was back. This way, Eunuch Zhu would also know."
Shangguan Nanxing saw that Gu Qingzhi still didn't quite understand, so he told him his plan directly. He didn't know about other people, but he was sure that as long as he showed up, Eunuch Zhu would definitely come to find him.
Because of the current situation, he is the only one capable of competing with Shangguan Nanfeng.
"Third Prince, this is too dangerous." When Gu Qingzhi heard Shangguan Nanxing's plan, his brows frowned slightly, and he thought from the bottom of his heart that this move was too risky.
"General Gu, I know this is very dangerous, but under the watchful eyes of the public, I believe Shangguan Nanfeng would not dare to do anything out of line. This is why I want to go there tomorrow. After all, dirty and dark things cannot be seen in the light."
Shangguan Nanxing looked in the direction of Dongyou and explained softly.
"What the Third Prince said makes sense, but it is still too dangerous. What if the Second Prince doesn't care about what you are considering? What if something unexpected happens? How can I explain it to the Emperor?"
Gu Qingzhi followed Shangguan Nanxing's gaze and looked at Dongyou, his eyes full of worry.
"General Gu, you must understand the principle that one cannot catch a tiger cub without learning from the tiger. If you are afraid of your own safety and shrink back, how can I, Shangguan Nanxing, save my father and pull Dongyou out of the predicament? General Gu, I have made up my mind, so there is no need to persuade me anymore."
Shangguan Nanxing lowered his eyes and turned to look at Gu Qingzhi. Now he just wanted to rescue his father as soon as possible. Besides, the reason why Gu Qingzhi was worried about him was because he didn't know that he had recovered and even had strong martial arts skills.
"Then I will send a few more people to protect you in secret."
Gu Qingzhi met Shangguan Nanxing's eyes and knew that he had made up his mind, so he stopped trying to dissuade him. After all, the method the Third Prince proposed was indeed the fastest way to find Eunuch Zhu.
"Well, go to bed early. I'll find Eunuch Zhu and arrange everything. Then I'll use the fireworks as a signal. I'll leave the rest to you."
Shangguan Nanxing originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that if he refused, Gu Qingzhi would probably have to continue to convince him, so he didn't say anything more.
"The third prince is in serious condition. It is my, Gu Qingzhi's responsibility to eliminate this threat to Dongyou." Seeing that Shangguan Nanxing did not reject his proposal, Gu Qingzhi felt a little more at ease.
"I have something to go out for a while." Shangguan Nanxing said, and walked out without waiting for Gu Qingzhi's reply.
The place he was going to was naturally Shura Gate.
Not long after, Shangguan Nanxing returned to Gu Qingzhi's temporary residence with a group of people with good kung fu skills, and ordered someone to bring Dongyou's military uniforms for them to wear.
Gu Qingzhi looked at these people. They all walked with a brisk pace and it was obvious that they were not ordinary people. However, the Third Prince did not take the initiative to explain, so he did not want to ask about their origins.
Anyway, they are people brought by the third prince, so they are not enemies.
"You should rest early. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a tough battle tomorrow." Shangguan Nanxing looked at the Shura Sect killers who had integrated into the group and nodded with satisfaction.
He originally wanted to let Shura Gate act alone, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was inconvenient to expose Shura Gate's trump card. Now this situation is the best compromise.
At dawn the next day, Su Yue and Li Yan entered the imperial city in disguise. Although they set out later than Shangguan Nanxing, because of Shangguan Nanxing's strategy, Su Yue and Li Yan entered the city earlier than Shangguan Nanxing.
"Su Yue, where are we going now?" Li Yan looked at the still somewhat deserted street and carefully asked Su Yue beside him.
"Let's go to General Chen's mansion."
Su Yue answered without hesitation. She didn't know much about the situation in the court, but she knew a lot too. Among the powerful people now, the Grand Marshal was definitely one of the most powerful. Besides, her third uncle and Shangguan Nanxing were both back, so she couldn't help with anything else.
"I'll listen to you. Let's go." After hearing Su Yue's words, Li Yan didn't think much about it and took the lead to walk towards the Taiwei Mansion.
When entering the city before, Su Yue was afraid that riding a horse would be too conspicuous, so he abandoned his horse and entered the city. He even did not allow Li Yan's secret guards to follow him.
"Hey, notify your commander and tell him we want to see him." After Li Yan and Su Yue arrived at the commander's mansion, Li Yan saw two servants yawning loudly and struggling to open the door, so he went straight up and shouted.
"Who are you?" The servant saw the arrogant attitude of the visitor, so he looked at the two young men in front of him carefully from head to toe, without any intention of going in to inform them.
"My brother is a little bit mentally ill, please don't bother with him. Please inform the general that we have something important to discuss with you."
Su Yue pulled Li Yan aside, smiled at the servant at the door, and spoke a few more words respectfully.
Li Yan was standing behind Su Yue, rolling his eyes. He was just a servant, but Su Yue really lost his identity by speaking to him in such an attitude.
As for Su Yue saying that he was not smart, it was not the first time Su Yue said it during this trip, and he was used to it.
"Young Master, our master has been to the Golden Throne Hall a few days ago and has not left the court yet."
Seeing that Su Yue's attitude was relatively good, the servant was willing to tell the truth.
"What? You haven't come back for several days?" Su Yue was stunned, and then he remembered that in the previous life, when Shangguan Nanfeng forced the emperor to abdicate, he seemed to have trapped the important officials of the court in the Golden Palace for quite a while.
Unexpectedly, after starting over again, Shangguan Nanfeng still went back to his old ways.
However, the difference is that in his previous life, he forced the emperor to abdicate after becoming the crown prince, and the position of crown prince was naturally given to him by Shangguan Nanxing.
As for why he forced the emperor to abdicate after becoming the crown prince, it was naturally because Shangguan Nanfeng discovered that the emperor actually wanted to depose him.
"Then please tell Miss Wanwan to tell me that my husband should come home soon."
After Su Yue finished speaking, she took out two silver ingots from Li Yan's bag and gave one to each of the gatekeepers. This half of the sentence was written by Chen Wanwan herself in the letter when she gave her a coming-of-age gift. As for the other half, Wanwan must know it.
And with such private words, Chen Wanwan would definitely know it was her as soon as she heard it.
"Su Yue, is this a secret signal?" Li Yan looked at the servant who went in to report, thought of what Su Yue had just said, and asked curiously.
"If it's none of your business, don't ask." Su Yue blushed when she heard Li Yan's question and retorted.
The reason why she said that was naturally because she thought that now she was dressed as a man and Wanwan had already been engaged. If she said that she was an old friend of hers, based on Chen Wanwan's temper, she would definitely not come out to see her.
After much thought, I decided to use a secret that only two people knew.
"Tsk, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I don't want to know." Seeing that Su Yue's tone was not good, Li Yan retracted his head again, and looked around boredly, but met a pair of cunning eyes.
When the man saw that Li Yan had discovered him, he immediately ran away.
"As expected, it's you." Just when Li Yan was about to tell Su Yue, a clear girl's voice came from the mansion, filled with joy.
