Chapter 348: Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed
Gu Luan didn't feel strange at all about Zhan Wenqing's question. After all, if this kind of thing happened to him, his reaction would definitely be the same.
"Reporting to the master, the man did wake up just now. But he didn't ask the guard for food, so he fell asleep again -" Gu Luan cupped his hands and replied respectfully.
"But my subordinates have already given instructions to the close guards to be careful and not to allow anyone to escape."
"Well, that's good -" Zhan Wenqing listened to Gu Luan's reply and said slowly. Then the conversation changed and he asked again: "Have you received a reply from your uncle?"
These days, Zhan Wenqing has been in contact with his uncle through letters. He is about to arrive in the capital, and he will only wait for Emperor Xiaoxian's birthday to realize his big plan.
Besides, those soldiers and horses have always been his trump card. Only when the soldiers and horses are stationed outside the capital, will he be able to make the most of me and sit on that dragon chair...
"The general's letter has not arrived yet, but my subordinates estimate that based on the general's itinerary, the time of arrival in the capital should not be too different from the master's."
When Gu Luan said this, he attracted Zhan Wenqing's attention. The deep look did not have much meaning, but it also made Gu Luan feel that he had said something wrong.
But thinking about it carefully, what he just said is also true. After all, he has walked many times on the road from the border to the capital. Moreover, this time the army has already been divided into several groups, and it has been slowly growing for a few months.
, infiltrated into the capital.
This time the general returned to the capital with only a small group of men and horses, and he was acting as his trusted aide. Even if he was seen along the way, others would not suspect anything...
But Zhan Wenqing didn't think so. Those soldiers and horses were all his hard work accumulated over the years! The queen mother and two biological sisters were still waiting for him in the palace.
If this operation fails, not only will he not end well, but he will also implicate them and the entire general's palace. No matter how kind his father is, he will not be merciful to someone who wants his life!
"Go and pay more attention. When uncle's letter comes, you must hand it to me as soon as possible!" Zhan Wenqing looked away, with a hint of coldness in his voice.
"You should know that I have been waiting for this day for a long time. You are the person I trust most besides my mother and uncle, so you can't get confused about these details!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will fulfill my mission!" Zhan Wenxuan said these words, which sounded the alarm to Gu Luan - this time, only success is allowed, no failure.
If he fails, he will be the first to kill him...
After traveling for a day and a night, Zhan Wenqing and his party rested for a day and a night at an inn in the city. When they got up early the next morning, the innkeeper had already prepared breakfast for everyone.
Gu Luan ordered people to bring breakfast to Zhan Wenqing's room, and after testing the poison one by one, he gave Zhan Wenqing food.
During breakfast, Gu Luan didn't say anything. He waited until Zhan Wenqing was done with it, then reported what happened last night.
It turned out that Jiang Hang escaped last night under the cover of darkness, but he didn't eat or drink for several days, and he didn't get enough rest. He couldn't even get out of the inn before he was caught by their people.
After knocking the person unconscious, he threw him directly back into the room and ordered the person to watch him directly in the room, so he spent the night without staring at anyone.
Early this morning, I fed him some rice soup, tied him up, pouted, and threw him into Zhan Wenqing's carriage.
"This person is Su Liangji's most powerful person. Could it be that he was not sent here to attack this king?" Zhan Wenqing wondered in his heart. After all, Su Liangji was from Concubine De's side, and everyone in the court knew this.
Concubine De had Zhan Wenxuan and Zhan Wenyu under her knees, and Su Liangji, the current prime minister, as her support. She had stayed in the capital for so many years, and she knew political affairs very well.
When he was still in the foundation, he sent people from Lingfu Tower to sneak into the capital to test Zhan Wenxuan. Although he knew that the man would probably not come back, he never expected that a person who could not sleep from time to time could still do it.
Have such ability.
The martial arts of Ling Fulou could not be considered weak. However, he did not kill Zhan Wenxuan, which was beyond his expectation.
"My subordinates did not ask him about this, and I have no way of finding out what his intention was in leaving Beijing this time."
Gu Luan told the truth, what was the current situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital, although they had not sent any confidants to see it with their own eyes, they had heard it from the head of Lingfu Tower.
The entire Prime Minister's Mansion is already extremely poor. Maybe Su Liangji doesn't have the money to support this man, so it's still unclear if he can only let him go...
