Chapter 264: Have a grudge?
The guards just said this, the people at the hatchway had already come closer, the silver-robed male stood a zhang away from the emperor, and after a deep gaze, he bowed his head down, “I am Duan Shu, see Duke Huang!”
Zhao Su did not have much of an impression of this disciple of the Marquis of Wei Yuan, and this was entirely due to the original owner’s lack of attention to the world around her, but it was obvious that as someone from the late emperor’s only sister’s mansion, Duan Shu was bound to know the emperor, and the emperor had to know him as well.
Suddenly, she also understood why the emperor would want to make this trip in person.
“Get up and speak.” The emperor extended his hand in vain, then stepped towards the cabin under Duan Shu’s lead.
“My lord, General Han has returned.”
At this time, the guards who broke the back – these ten or so people that the emperor had brought along with him, all of whom Zhao Su had observed had a very precise standing position, and she didn’t know what they were called, but anyway, they were the ones who walked at the end of the line, and at this point in time, they voiced out a report.
Zhao Su look at, the fruit see Han Jun that familiar figure is walking towards this side, walking in his after there is a person, this look is really is previously caught that Luo family’s son, at this time since follow Han Jun and back, that naturally is also after verification, his identity is not false, also can almost support his previous words.
“Your Excellency, my subordinate has returned with Prince Yi.”
To say that the emperor’s inner circle must be Han Jun like this, Duan Shu is the old Wei Yuan Hou’s disciple, Luo family is the third grade Zhaoyi general’s house, as a child of his family, although there are few opportunities to mix in the top circle of the rich and powerful, but to avoid the word Luo, it will be much more convenient. And this sound “Prince Yi”, is equivalent to explain the man’s name.
The emperor glanced at Luo Yi, nodded, and continued on his way. Duan Shu greeted Han Jun, then also arched his hand towards Luo Yi and hurried up to walk behind the emperor.
Zhao Su to the identity of the guards to follow behind, in the emperor to raise the step of the moment, only to see moored in the boat around a few boats are moved away, and then whoosh a number of black shadows scattered in the four sides of the boat, and soon did not in the dark.
The reason why the emperor can rest assured boldly walk around outside the palace, this sense of security is naturally from these secret guards.
Into the cabin, actually arranged very luxurious, the floor is also covered with carpets.
After the emperor sat down, his eyes signaled Zhao Su to stand beside him, and then asked Duan Shu: “I heard that your dart was robbed?”
When it comes to this, Duan Shu the whole person is tense: “do not dare to conceal the Prince, the Marquis went through a lot of trouble to get His Highness so a relic, cherish as if the eyeballs also like, for fear of being placed on the side of the inappropriate, so sent a small dart escorted into the capital to put, a remnant of the armor of the outsiders in terms of the usefulness of the original, but did not expect that it is still in the will be to the capital when the hand was lost, the next for this so far has not closed his eyes, if the investigation can not be, all do not know how to go back to the If I can’t find out, I don’t know how to go back to deliver, and I deeply feel that I can’t apologize to your highness, I’m afraid that I have to die to thank for my crime.”
Said he flung to the ground a knee, bang bang kowtowed to!
Yes, looking at the world, can help him in addition to the emperor who else? Even if there is, who has the emperor so good?
Only Han Jun stood next to Luo Yi immediately looked confused between the emperor and the kneeling Duan Shu.
The emperor asked him, “Where did he get this?”
Duan Shu raised his head, “Your Excellency must know that His Highness was sacrificed in the deep mountains of Guangxi, his body was torn apart and his armor was trampled to pieces. The old marquis and the generals were only concerned about retrieving the bones of His Highness, and did not care about anything else. Since the marquis of his highness and the old marquis wishes to go to guangxi, will often go to the war in memory of the year.
“One day last year, the marquis inquired about the early years in His Highness served beside a maid in Hangzhou, the hands of His Highness had a piece of armor worn at the time of the war. Because the armor was broken and abandoned, the maid kept it when she left. Marquis military affairs in the body, can not leave, then sent small to Hangzhou, the maid together with the armor to bring the resident.
“And as confirmed by many Huo family generals around the Marquis, it is indeed a relic of His Highness. The maid was touched by the marquis’s thoughts of his mother’s heart, so he gave the battle armor back to the marquis.”
The emperor also said: “people in guangxi, but why take the transportation?”
“The marquis was intended to be placed in the side, but the resident barracks conditions are difficult, there can be no good maintenance of the armor conditions, the marquis again and again, decided to send back to the capital to settle. Because of the thought of returning to the capital by land, not only the mountain road is continuous, with the way to escort the people also have to be many, and then found in Guangxi specializing in the waterway of the Hengyuan Dart Bureau, please their boat from the sea to Hangzhou, and then take the waterway to the capital.”
Said here Duan Shu and added a sentence: “Originally the county is to peer back to the capital, but it just so happens that those days she contracted a wind chill, the marquis does not rest assured, then sent a small solo trip.”
The emperor was silent for a moment and said, “Then what did you intend to do?”
“I have no clue, after yesterday’s incident, immediately sent people around the hunt, and passed to the dock and Tongzhou County Yamen, is now almost mobilized all the people in the city in pursuit. Only up to now there is still no progress. If there is no gain before tomorrow morning,……, then I also intend to go to the capital to ask for help from the court.”
Here he kowtowed again.
The kowtowed this time to Luo Yi surprised eyes and startled a circle.
The emperor let Duan Shu stood up, and then arm propped on the armrest: “Why a relic that has no significance to the next person, will be robbed? Have you ever thought about whether the Huo family has any other enemies?”
Luo Yi snaps back to his senses at the sound of “enemies” and stares at the emperor warily.
Duan Shu stood firmly with a frown on his face and said after a moment’s meditation, “Although I am not as familiar with the affairs of the Marquis’ residence as the Marquis, I am generally clear about them. Your Highness and the old marquis character can be shown to the sun and moon, they have a big heart and love, everything they do is for the peace of the world, how could there be enemies? Even if there is, that should only be the former dynasty generals who fought against each other back then. But after so many years of founding the country, the division of the fallen country has long since ceased to exist, so it is reasonable to say that the Huo family could not possibly still have enemies.”
The emperor continues to be silent.
Zhao Su is also guilty of thinking, what Duan Shu said makes sense, after so many years of the fallen state, it’s impossible that there are still people from the previous dynasty who are acting as demons, and most importantly, if there really are, shouldn’t that be directed at the emperor’s family? And after so many years, up to now only stole a relic of Lord Zhaoyun Chang, it’s not quite right, right?
A moment later, hearing the cups ringing, the emperor put down the tea he had raised again, “Just as you said, you will go into the capital tomorrow, go and report to the Shun Tian Prefect, and on the way, go and meet with the Marquis of Qing Yun to see if he can offer help.”
“Many thanks, Your Excellency!”
Duan Shu was bursting with excitement and immediately raised his robe to kowtow again!
The Emperor then got up, “Lead the way to the scene.”
Happy Holidays!
