After Dawn Chapter 132: Pursuit (2)

Since she has doubts about Hongyue, Dugujin naturally doesn't dare to believe it completely.

At this time, the annoyance in his chest is far more than the anger at the betrayal of Hongyue. Compared with the betrayal of his subordinates, and the deception of himself, he hates his own stupidity more. Trust, if he hadn't handed over most of the things to Hongyue, how could he waste so much time in vain.

His personal subordinate Gu Bei came back from the capital just in time.

There are four people under Dugujin who can be called complete trust. They are named after the east, west, and northwest. A summary of the capital and the other three guards, Gubei's parents are Dugujin's nanny and his childhood master. It can be said that the two are brothers who grew up drinking the same person's milk. Gubei was indoctrinated by his parents from birth. In order to protect Dugujin's mission, he also deeply aims at it, so Gubei is the most trusted person in Dugujin.

As for the other three, Gu Nan is responsible for the dark guard in charge of the Jin Dynasty's mansion, dealing with some dark and **** matters, while Gu Dong and Gu Xi, Gu Xi is the red moon of Hongyue Building, the former is responsible for Business, the main task is to provide funds for Dugujin's private army and the expenses of the palace, while the latter is in charge of the intelligence system in Dugujin's hands, and is responsible for reporting the world's movements to him as soon as possible.

Except for Gu Bei, the other three people are all trusted people selected by Du Gu after careful selection and consideration, but I didn't expect him to have dazzling eyes.

"Gu Bei, what's going on in the direction of the capital?"

"Master, there is no movement in the capital," Gubei replied. The reason why he hurried back to the capital was to deal with the impact of the Su family's annihilation in the capital. Although the home was the home of the former prime minister, it was out of time now. The officials in the capital didn't make much trouble except for pretending to wipe a few drops of tears with their sleeves when they were in court. The news, after knowing that Dugujin originally planned to marry Miss Su family, these people did not think it was a big deal, but they all said that Dugujin was not destined to be the number one beauty in the world, and the number one thing in the world should be left to The emperor is better, but of course he will not talk nonsense about these things that Gubei thinks are irrelevant. "But Lord, I have something to report to my subordinates."

"What's the matter?" Dugu asked cautiously.

"Master, when I came back, I met the imperial envoy who returned to Beijing, but..." Gubei stopped, and then continued: "But I think this imperial envoy is a bit strange."

"Strange?" Dugu repeated his words.

"This imperial envoy was last year's champion, who was sent by the emperor to investigate the corruption situation of local officials unannounced. It stands to reason that he should have a few months to go back..." Gubei said, "I had a relationship with that champion. He was also curious because of the one-sided relationship. It is said that he still has a few places to go, and he doesn't know why the emperor suddenly ordered him to go back."

"Imperial envoy, transfer orders, unannounced visits..." One clue after another appeared in Dugujin's mind, and everything seemed to be clear at once.

The team of unannounced visits sent by the emperor, even if he is a prince, would not dare to investigate the other party's movements without authorization. Even if he knew the existence of the other party, he still did not know what to do, and he never doubted it. The murderer will be the emperor's man.

"Where can I find out where is the last inspection spot?"

"It is Jiangcheng."

Dugujin's body suddenly fell back, and then sat down on the chair a little limp.

"Imperial brother he...why did he...do this..."

Gu Bei's face is expressionless, and it seems that he can't see the disappointment in Dugujin's eyes. Although Dugujin verbally says that he does not love the royal family, the emperor is the brother of his mother after all. The two grew up together since childhood. Compared with others, the royal family is ruthless. After the two became adults, although Dugu Jin voluntarily withdrew from the battle for the throne, the late emperor's favor for him inevitably caused suspicion and suspicion in his heart.

Dugu keeps his heart clear, but more or less, there is still hope.

"Ran Ran has no grievances or enmity with the emperor's brother. Although the Su family was the prime minister of the previous dynasty, now his father is just an ordinary literati. How can the emperor's brother be so aggressive..."

"Yes, someone must have framed the imperial brother, someone must have known the route of the imperial envoy, so it disturbed my sight..." Dugu defended, and his eyes glowed as he spoke, and he sat up, He said to Gubei: "Go check it out, is there someone else mixed in with the imperial envoy's team?"

Gu Bei didn't act immediately, but after watching him recover, he said: "I didn't think about this at first, but the people in the palace came to the news that on the day the Su family caught fire, the emperor was in the incense The concubine's bedroom was piled up with spices, and it was set on fire... I heard that it was to infuse the concubine Xiangfei's bedroom."

"Brother Huang is not such a debauched person." Dugujin immediately denied that, in addition to his reluctance to fight with his own brother, he quit the battle for the throne, and more importantly, he believed that his brother had Enough ability to become the king of a country.

"Then why did the emperor do this?" Gubei asked.

"Go check..."

Dugujin seems to have been drained of all his strength in an instant.

……

The truth of the matter is often a bit cruel beyond the imagination of the world.

Looking at the thin stack of documents on the table, Dugujin felt as if a heavy stone was hanging from his fingers, and he couldn't lift it for a long time.

"Lord, please see."

Gu Bei pushed the information in front of him, expressionless, even looking a little inhumane. He didn't seem to understand Dugujin's pain at this time, and even frowned slightly, looking a little dissatisfied.

"Since you don't want to look at it, then I'll help you see it." He said, and then gestured to open it with his hand. Dugujin stretched out his hand to block it, and he consciously retracted his hand.

"Gu Bei, you offended."

"Yes." Gu Bei replied without any complaints, and lowered his eyes, making it difficult to see the emotions in his eyes.

The incense in the incense burner burned out inch by inch. Dugu carefully crushed the information in his hand into pieces. The pieces shimmered in the sun and scattered on the ground. The air in the room seemed to be stagnant. Gives a sense of slaughter.

"Bring up the red moon."

……

When Hongyue opened the door, she still had a smile on her face, and the moment she saw Dugujin, her eyes flashed with joy.

"Master, are you looking for me?" she asked.

Dugujin just raised her eyes slowly, her dark pupils stared straight at her, making Hongyue's cheeks blushing all of a sudden, she turned her head to the side, subtly revealing her blushing neck He side Yan looked extremely beautiful, but then she felt that the sight on her body seemed a bit tingling, and the joy in her heart became a little uneasy, she turned her head and met Dugu Jing's eyes.

"Hongyue, how long have you been by my side?" Dugu asked cautiously.

"Master Hui, it's been fifteen years."

"Do you remember how you entered the Jin Palace?"

"Thanks to the grace of the Lord, I redeemed the red moon that was supposed to be sold into the Hualou by my parents fifteen years ago. The grace of the Lord will never be forgotten forever." She said, a pair of watery eyes filled with affection Looking at Dugujin, "Since that day, Hongyue has sworn that she will go through fire and water for the Lord, and will not hesitate to do anything."

"Oh..." Dugu snorted coldly, "The way you repay your kindness is to hide your traces from me?"

"Master, I don't understand what you said." Hongyue pretended to be stupid.

"Don't understand?" The anger in Dugujin's heart rushed up at once, and he raised his hand and threw the inkstone on the table over. Hongyue didn't dare to hide, so he could only guard it abruptly, and his forehead was kowtowed. A piece was broken, and the undried ink in the inkstone flowed down her cheeks...

"Master, what did Hongyue do wrong?" Hongyue asked with a hurt expression on her face, "Where did you get the news from, Hongyue has always been faithful to do things for her, and never dared to give her half a cent. The deception..."

Dugujin calmed down at this time.

"I ask you, where did you send Su Qingran?"

Hongyue still wanted to defend herself, but when she looked up and saw Dugujin's eyes, she swallowed the words that came to her lips. She knew that she had completely lost Dugujin's trust now. Although she didn't know where he got the news, what was certain was that Dugujin was sure that Su Qingran had definitely come to her.

She was spinning fast in her head, thinking about who most likely betrayed her. She quickly passed through several of her confidants, not to mention that most of this matter was her own. She handled it by herself, and she had enough handles in her hands to make them pay for them, so her eyes rolled quickly, and after thinking a few times, she couldn't come up with a reason.

"Say—"

……

"Lord, Lord, you believe me, Hongyue just loves you too much and never did anything to betray you..."

"Master, Hongyue has been by your side for fifteen years, isn't it better than a little girl?"

"Master, you've only met Su Qingran a few times, how do you know she's your sweetheart..."

Hearing this, Dugu turned his head and gave her a cold look.

Several men in black flew down from the roof beams, and the thin iron chains threw out the limbs wrapped around Hongyue like sharp arrows, and the door closed in her desperate eyes.

Only heard the voice of Dugu Jing.

"From the first time I saw her, I knew she was the one I was waiting for..."

"In this world, apart from her, I will never marry another person."

The sound of Dugujin's footsteps gradually faded away. After the suppressed Hongyue slowly shed two lines of tears, she suddenly struggled desperately. The powerful internal force directly pushed the four men in black who were holding the chain. Two of the shocks flew out, and the other two were obviously not having a good time.

"Just because you want to trap me? Dreaming!" Hongyue gritted her teeth and said, her arms broke free from the chains, her hands became claws, her nails looked extremely sharp, and she was about to grab the chain. The two men in black took them.

Suddenly there was a sharp wind from behind her.

Hongyue twisted her body sharply, but saw a plum blossom dart spinning and gradually enlarged in her eyes. Before she could react, the dart had pierced into her shoulder.

The poison wrapped around the plum dart quickly spread in her body, and instantly she felt as if she had been evacuated, her whole body slumped, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.

After seeing the person who suddenly appeared, Hongyue struggled to climb a few steps forward, and the four men in black seemed to know that she had no resistance. No action.

"Gubei, Gubei, we grew up together since we were young. Do you know if it's mine, do you, I will never betray the Lord, you believe me..."

"I only know that the Hongyue I know will never be the emperor's lackey."

The red moon suddenly lost all strength, and the world was spinning.
