Chapter 424: Throwing a stone to ask for directions

Yi Tusheng said, "I don't know what difficulties Mr. Zhang has. This matter is very important to me and the Ming Dynasty. Please be sure to deal with it." Zhang He sighed, "The officials must help with the matter of the prince, but the prince doesn't know that Gu Guo is a famous thorn. He is a descendant of Gu Xiancheng, the leader of the Donglin Party. He has the same temper as his grandfather. He is smelly and hard. He doesn't buy anyone's account for civil and military officials in the court. He also has the honorary title of Minister of War, so my order is not easy to use when he arrives at him."

Yi Tusheng knew from the beginning that this matter would definitely be difficult, so it was not surprising that Zhang Heming said this, but he had a way to deal with Zhang Heming. Yi Tusheng coughed and said, "But the war in Fujian is urgent. If the emperor is angry again, I am afraid that Lord Zhang will not be able to bear it. Can Lord Zhang find a way to let Lord Gu come to the capital? As long as he is willing to come, I will discuss the subsequent matters with him. No matter what, I am a prince. I believe he will definitely give him some face."

Zhang Heming thought to himself, just because of Gu Guo's stinky and tough temper. Not to mention that you are a prince, even if you are the emperor, he may not be able to give face, but it has nothing to do with him. Zhang Heming thought for a while and said, "It's not difficult to let him go to Beijing. It just so happens that the generals from all over the country have to come to Beijing to report their duties every three years, and Gu Guo will expire in one month!" Yi Tusheng shook his head and said, "One month is too long. I can't wait for such a long time. Please find another way!"

Zhang Heming said: "No problem. The Ministry of War can issue a manifesto, just say that there is a problem with Jiujiang's military expenditure and ask him to go to Beijing to explain the situation, but whether the subsequent matter can be successful is really impossible to interfere with whether the matter will be successful."

Yi Tusheng thought to himself, this kid is really a slippery man. "It doesn't matter, I will deal with the following matters myself."

Zhang Heming said with relief: "Don't worry, Prince, I will issue a manifesto in a while, and I believe Gu Guo will come to the capital within three or five days." Yi Tusheng was overjoyed. As long as he came to the capital, it would be easy to deal with. He killed his life with one sword and could explain to the killer organization.

"Then I would like to thank Lord Zhang. I won't sit for a long time, say goodbye, say goodbye!"

Zhang Heming's words were indeed true. Five days later, Yi Tusheng received the news that Gu Guo, the general of Jiujiang, entered Beijing. Logically speaking, generals guarding the border like this cannot enter Beijing casually unless they obeyed the emperor's imperial edict or the Ministry of War's proclamation, otherwise all towns would not be allowed to pass. Therefore, the secret spy from the Jinyiwei in other places, when they heard that Gu Guo left, they began to investigate. The news continued to spread to Yi Tusheng's ears, and Yi Tusheng knew his whereabouts very well.

But he was still in a difficult situation where he intercepted Gu Guoyi Tusheng. Should he wait until he entered the capital before he started, or intercepted him halfway; should he use force directly, or poison him, and so on? All of this made him hesitate. After thinking for a long time, Yi Tusheng decided to ask Chiyoko to try it first to see how powerful Gu Guo was.

Chiyoko is a dead soldier of Yi Tusheng, and she is always ready to die for Yi Tusheng. She heard that Yi Tusheng has a task to hand over to her, and she is not only not afraid but also very happy.

"Master just give me orders!"

Yi Tusheng called Chiyoko to the study room, looked at her for a while, and said, "This mission is very dangerous. You must be careful. It doesn't matter if you don't succeed. You must come back alive!"

Chiyoko was even a little confused about Yi Tusheng's words, because the previous master injected Oda Nobuo and others had never given such instructions. They all told Chiyoko that they would complete the task even if they sacrificed their lives. Chiyoko was already used to it.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Yi Tusheng continued, "I have an enemy. I will enter Nanjing City tonight. I want you to leave the city early and intercept this person on the north of the official road. Are you willing?"

Chiyoko said calmly: "Yes, Master, Chiyoko is willing. Chiyoko has been trained as a weapon for killing since she was a child. Killing is my specialty." Yi Tusheng shook his head and said: "I have said just now that this mission is not simple, because my enemy has very high martial arts skills and there are many master guards around him. Although you are good at assassination, you may not be able to kill him, and you are still in danger of life."

"Please rest assured that even if Chiyoko is captured accidentally, she will commit suicide immediately and will never reveal the master."

Yi Tusheng is not a fool. At this time, it is really a time when he wins people's hearts: "No, don't. If you are captured accidentally, don't commit suicide. I will rescue you. If necessary, you can tell me. I will never blame you." He knew that the more he said this, the more Chiyoko would have to work hard for him. The killer trained by people is too mechanical and does not know how to use warm means.

Sure enough, a warm current rose in Chiyoko's heart, almost burst into tears, but she had already become accustomed to controlling her emotions and nodded, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely kill your enemy, no matter how powerful he is." Yi Tusheng said, "If one blow fails, I want you to retreat immediately. I will deal with the subsequent things. Do you understand?" Chiyoko looked at the sky and said, "It's already dusk. That person should have arrived in the suburbs. Can you do it?"

Yi Tusheng said, "What are you going to do?" Chiyoko said, "When I was trained as a killer, I learned a lot of ways to kill people. Master, don't worry, I'll go." Yi Tusheng said, "That man is Gu Guo, he is the general of Jiujiang. His team should be very large. Don't admit the wrong person."

In the evening, Gu Guo's horse team really approached Nanjing City. On the official road full of reed ponds ten miles away from the city gate, they were preparing to take a break.

Along the way, the closer we got to the capital, the more refugees there were. When we arrived at the gate of the city, the ragged clothes had formed a powerful torrent, making Gu Guo feel that the Ming Dynasty's country had really reached a precarious level.

Chiyoko hunched over and saw a large group of horses coming from afar. There were three war horses in front of them, two old and one young. The two old were all white with long hair and swords behind their backs, and their temples were raised high. They were obviously masters among the masters. The young one, wearing a white Confucian uniform and carrying a serpent in his hand. She was very heroic and looked like a leader. And the old men on both sides nodded and bowed when they talked to him. Chiyoko immediately determined that this person was Gu Guo.

Three white horses with divine horses were moving forward. An old woman suddenly came in front of her. She was carrying a bag in her hand and was lit on the ground with a crutch made of wooden stakes and struggling to move forward. She looked at least seventy or eighty years old. Gu Guo felt a little reluctant, so she took out ten taels of silver from her arms, turned over and dismounted, and prepared to hand it over to this blind mother-in-law.

Chiyoko never expected him to come to him, and her stomach was full of joy.
