Chapter 153: Writing a Letter
Originally, Zong Hao thought that Prime Minister Wei would spare his life, but he had underestimated Prime Minister Wei's cruelty.
It was reported that Prime Minister Wei would make every effort to search for the Gu family in the capital, and would kill them on the spot if they were found.
But he opened the red cup again, letting the toad inside jump onto Zong Hao's body and suck his blood.
"Master, you said you would spare my life, why!"
Zong Hao's exposed skin was already showing blue veins, and his originally hunched back became even more bent. As the toad sucked his blood, his old and wrinkled skin stuck to his increasingly prominent bones like tree bark.
"I did spare your life."
After a long while, Prime Minister Wei at the top responded with a sneer.
The toad had sucked enough blood and had grown to half the height of a human.
Then Prime Minister Wei muttered something, and the toad bit Zong Hao again.
However, this time it was not blood sucking, but blood transporting.
The toad's originally bright red body color turned darker and darker as it fed the blood of the dead Zong Hao.
After a while, the toad passed the blood to Zong Hao. The toad returned to its original appearance, but the color of its body surface was so red that it turned into a dark black color.
The toad, as if full, jumped back into the cup in Prime Minister Wei's hand.
Zong Hao, who had been drained of blood and died, opened his eyes and stood up with sluggish movements.
If Gu Feixue was present, she would definitely recognize that Zong Hao's expression at this moment was no different from those zombies who had assassinated her before.
Upon seeing the newly created assassins, Prime Minister Wei finally smiled terrifyingly:
"I told you to survive, but I didn't tell you to live."
Another sinister laugh came from the darkness:
"Forty dead men, and now one more has been added, haha." Then the laughter became increasingly ferocious:
"Gu Lang, you've caused me so much loss. I'm going to turn you into a zombie, pull out your tendons and peel off your skin. I'm going to turn your entire Gu family into human pigs to relieve the hatred in my heart. Hahahahahaha."
While Prime Minister Wei was busy sending more personnel to patrol the capital to check for suspicious people from outside, the Sixth Prince developed a different interest in the Gu family.
Judging from the information obtained from the secret door before, he didn't think the Gu family would come to the capital.
As early as when he was in Liangcheng, he knew how to use the strategies of Qian Youliang and others, set fire to the city, faked his death and fled to Jiangzhou.
This time, after the assassination attempt, he left Jiangzhou without any delay. What does this mean?
This means that the other party must not be so stupid as to guess that the people who assassinated the Gu family were from the capital.
The most unlikely thing for the Gu family is to come to the capital.
Of course, the Gu family is very cunning, so it is not impossible for them to do the opposite.
"Master, the news from the secret door has arrived."
Yuchi She received the secret report from the secret door and learned more information about the Gu family from it.
"Gu Feixue, isn't this Gu Lang's twelve-year-old daughter?"
Judging from the information collected through the secret door, the reason why the Gu family escaped several crises was closely related to Gu Feixue.
But three years ago, Gu Feixue was only eight or nine years old. How could a nine-year-old girl have such great abilities?
Yuchi She didn't think that a girl, especially a nine-year-old girl, could be so intelligent.
But this did not prevent Yuchi She from paying attention to this person. He immediately issued an order, asking those who had seen Gu Feixue to draw her portrait, and sent a group of people to search for the Gu family in the capital together with Prime Minister Wei's men.
Of course, Yuchi She did not forget to have people keep an eye on the prince and pay attention to Yuchi Shuo's many movements.
Once there is any unusual movement from the prince's side, he will order the informant to report to him.
It had been two years since Yuchi She sent people to monitor Yuchi Shuo again.
During these two years, alerted by the threats from Prime Minister Wei, Yuchi She remained inactive in the palace.
Even though his people still paid close attention to the Crown Prince, their efforts were limited to the court. They withdrew their spies from the Crown Prince's residence, fearing that the Crown Prince would catch them.
Now that it has been proven that Prime Minister Wei's pursuit of stability may not be effective, Yuchi She naturally started to have some ideas.
Linzhou.
"Xue'er, what are you doing in the carriage?"
As dinner time approached, Rong Xing saw that Gu Feixue was not by the Gu family's campfire, so he came to the Gu family's carriage to ask.
But he was seen drawing on the paper with a focused expression.
"I'll write a letter. You guys eat first."
Seeing Rong leaving, Gu Feixue took the hand covering the letter.
After arriving in Linzhou, she remembered that she used to receive letters from Yuchi Shuo every winter around the Spring Festival.
Even when the Gu family came to Jiangzhou, they still received Yuchi Shuo's letter.
It seems that either the other party has spies in Jiangzhou, or they have secretly sent people to keep an eye on the Gu family.
From this, Gu Feixue couldn't help but have a doubt. If the man in red really was not Rong Qi's man, could he be sent by Yuchi Shuo?
Recalling the letters between the two in previous years, Gu Feixue didn't know what thoughts flashed through her mind.
Every letter that Yuchi Shuo sent back was filled with many words, seemingly containing everything, yet it also seemed to be all nonsense.
He always mixed in content that she didn't want to hear, as if deliberately trying to irritate her. However, even though she was annoyed every time, Gu Feixue still replied politely.
Of course, the reply letter only contained the content of mutual criticism, which was very concise and to the point.
The two of them exchanged letters back and forth, although there was only one letter each year. Every time he looked back at Feixue's reply, he found it wasn't too polite.
But the two also felt that their relationship had become much closer.
Especially Gu Feixue, after replying in each letter, she still felt a little uneasy. After all, the other party was the prince, and she might vent her anger on the Gu family.
However, the other party sent the letter as usual the following year, and even the tone was almost the same, so Gu Feixue felt relieved.
This time, there was still a month before the Spring Festival, but she thought of this incident while on the way.
She knew that she would never receive any letter from Yuchi Shuo this year.
So he decided to take the initiative to write a letter to Yuchi Shuo this time, so as to avoid the other party.
She picked up her homemade charcoal pencil, but still had no idea where to start.
What should I write?
By the way, let me explain the situation first.
Then Gu Feixue used her not-so-skilled drawing skills to draw a simple sketch of a group of black stick figures besieging a carriage to refer to the assassination of the Gu family.
Later, he drew a picture of a girl with pigtails fantasizing about weapons, which was used to refer to joining the army.
In order to prevent the letter from being hijacked and the information from being exposed, Gu Feixue did not continue to explain what this weapon meant. After such a long time, Yuchi Shuo should understand her thinking.
Then the scene changed, and Gu Feixue drew another lantern with the word "Fu" written on it.
This is like wishing Yuchi Shuo a happy new year in advance. You still have to be polite.
All three paintings are done on a palm-sized piece of rice paper. After rolling it up, it is not too cumbersome. You can tie it with a rope and send it by carrier pigeon.
But Gu Feixue didn’t have a carrier pigeon. However, just because she didn’t have one didn’t mean that the others accompanying her didn’t have one.
"Rong Qi, can you lend me your carrier pigeon?"
Along the way, she saw Rong Qi receiving carrier pigeons more than once.
"What do you want a carrier pigeon for?"
