Chapter 30: Resurrection

It was drizzling at night. Li Wei hurried to the Canglang Pavilion where Prince Zhu Biao was staying under the guidance of two guards. Although the guards only said that there was an urgent matter and did not know the specifics, Li Wei still vaguely guessed that something might have happened.

The lights in the room were soft, and Zhu Biao was paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his brows tightly frowned, and his eyes were filled with worry, "Your Highness, Li Wei is bringing it," a guard reported in a low voice.

"Let him come in!" Zhu Biao immediately returned to the desk and took out a pigeon letter.

After a moment, Li Wei was walking in quickly and bowing to salute, "See Your Highness the Prince."

Zhu Biao looked at him and smiled and said, "I have been ridiculous for you today. When I go back, I will be scolded by my father. Do you remember this favor?"

Li Weizheng bowed deeply, "Your Highness's kindness is engraved in his heart. I wish to go through fire and water for His Highness the Crown Prince, and I will never refuse."

"You don't have to go through fire and water. There is an urgent and difficult thing that you need to deal with." Zhu Biaoping stepped back from the palace servants who were serving on both sides and handed the pigeon letter to Li Weizheng, and said a little angry: "This is a pigeon letter sent by the capital this morning. Lan Yu's son did a huge stupid thing. Ten days ago, Lan Yu secretly asked his family to burn all the letters over the years. Maybe it was too many letters, so his son asked several servants to help organize them. That night, one of the family members suddenly disappeared. After counting, Lan Yu's son found that a confidential letter was missing, which was said to be related to me."

Speaking of this, Zhu Biao closed the door and lowered his voice, "When I read the time of that letter, I was very worried that Lan Yu advised me to kill the King of Yan first. The reply I sent him later. If this is true, once this letter is obtained by the King of Yan, the consequences will be serious. Even I dare not imagine that I have sent Yu Ping to Dingyuan County first, but I am worried that he is not capable, so I ask you to go for me. In any case, I will bring this letter back for me."

Li Weizheng also read the Gexin, which was what the prince said. In addition, there was also a useful information. The missing servant may have returned to his hometown, Huangzhou Prefecture, Huguang, and there was nothing else. As for where he was in Huangzhou Prefecture? He didn't say anything.

Li Weizheng pondered for a moment and said, "I think there are two possibilities. One is that the servant did not return to his hometown, but went directly to Mobei. The second is that he hid and waited for an opportunity. As for hiding back to his hometown, it may not be necessary. However, I also think that it is unlikely that he will go directly to Mobei. The first is that the journey is long, and secondly, he must consider being silenced by the King of Yan, so I plan to go to Dingyuan County first and then make a decision after exploring the situation."

"That's all." Zhu Biao sighed, took out another gold medal and handed it to Li Weizheng and said: "This is my prince's gold medal. If that person really returns to Huangzhou, Huguang Commander is mine. When the situation is critical, you can ask him for help, but you must remember that you are not allowed to use this prince's gold medal unless you have to."

When Li Wei saw that the prince actually gave him the gold medal, he was moved and immediately said in a deep voice: "I remember, I will go back and clean up now and set off overnight. I have another request."

"What do you think?"

Li Wei was hesitating for a moment and said, "I also know that this time the risk is extremely high. My personal safety doesn't matter. I am afraid that my father will be implicated. I want to ask Your Highness to send someone to protect my family."

Zhu Biao smiled, "Do you think I can't think of it? In fact, I have already arranged it. I have sent Deli's men to escort your father. If necessary, I will move him from Linhuai County, and I will arrange another Deli's general for you."

Zhu Biao waved his hand, and a shadow-like guard appeared in front of Li Weizhen like a ghost, "This is my personal bodyguard. He will protect you in secret from now on. If you need it, you can summon him directly..."

The guard immediately bent his knees and half-kneeled, "Subor Yang Ning will obey orders at any time."

Li Weizheng was hesitant, of course, to give him his entourage, but he was just a civilian and wanted to command the palace guards. It seemed a bit inappropriate. Zhu Biao glanced at him, as if he had seen through his thoughts, and smiled slightly and said, "I had already greeted Jiang Yan before leaving the capital and added you to the Jinyiwei. Yesterday, Jiang Yan had sent someone to send your waist card and official uniform, which was actually a hundred households. However, the Jinyiwei is no longer a military army, you don't need to change it to military citizenship. In addition, your Jinyiwei official uniform is too eye-catching and cannot be given to you for the time being."

As he said that, he took an oval ivory waist card from the table and handed it to Li Weizheng. He saw three lines of words engraved on the front: Jinyiwei, Baihu, Li Weizheng.

Li Wei was taking the waist card in a daze, and he felt extremely absurd in his heart, and he actually became the Jinyiwei.





















Li Weizheng rushed back to his uncle's house. The Gu family was in a mess at this time. The yard was full of various raw materials for making cakes and was covered with rainproof cloth, which made it difficult to get out of his feet. The Gu family was not overwhelmed by the huge success, nor did they have time to hold a celebration meeting. The most serious problem was in front of them. Tomorrow they would have no cakes to sell, and the family and their friends were working overtime.

As soon as Li Wei entered the door, he saw his uncle coming out. As soon as Gu Li saw him, he immediately pulled him aside and said excitedly: "Dalang, how should I thank you this time."

"Whatever my uncle said, we are all a family, and we don't thank you for anything, but I have an urgent matter and I will set off overnight."

"Leave overnight?" Gu Li was shocked. He was about to ask, but suddenly he realized that he had something to do with the prince and could not ask more questions. He immediately changed his words: "Then I will give you the 2,000 guan of money and give it to you as a burden on the road."

"Isn't it a joke to use two thousand guan as a tragedy? Just give me five hundred guan, and I will lend the rest to my uncle." Li Weizheng remembered something again and said, "There is Qian'er, I have official duties and it is not convenient to take her with me, so she lives with my uncle for the time being and asks her to take care of her for me."

"It's no problem. Your aunt and I will pretend that there is another daughter." Gu Li pointed to the room and smiled: "She and Ying'er are in the room. Go and say goodbye to her! I'll get you money."

Li Wei was walking into the room and saw Guo Qianqian and Gu Ying packing cakes together. When Guo Qianqian saw him in, she quickly dropped the work in her hand and greeted her. She smiled and said, "Where have you gone? I just looked for you for dinner, I'll get it for you."

When Li Wei heard her speech seem to be clearer, she was happy in her heart, so she stopped her and smiled: "I went out to do business. I just ate a bowl of noodles on the street and I'm full."

At this time, Gu Ying also came over, blushed and shouted in a low voice: "Cousin!"

Li Wei was about to smile, but he remembered that this girl was tough and stopped laughing and turned her back. He held back his smile and said, "Cousin, Qian'er has caused you trouble these days."

Seeing that he did not laugh at him and gave him face, Gu Ying was secretly grateful in her heart. She quickly took Guo Qianqian's hand and smiled: "I just think she is my sister. By the way, your 'pencil' is very good. It's worth it for both craftsmen and businessmen. Can you tell me how to do it? I want to do it as a side job and be half of your part."

"This is very simple. I'll write it to you later." Li Wei said this, and then said to Guo Qianqian: "Music girl, my elder brother has urgent official duties and is about to leave. Maybe he can't take you with me. I have already agreed with my uncle. You can stay in Suzhou for the time being and come to pick you up after my elder brother comes back."

Guo Qianqian looked sad, but she nodded obediently, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Li Weizheng was also a little sad, and forced a smile and said, "Then why don't you go pack your brother quickly."

Guo Qianqian looked at him nostalgically and ran into the house. When Li Wei saw her walking away, she said to Gu Ying solemnly: "There is something I want to explain to you first. If I encounter any misfortune, then I will transfer all the participants in Gu Ji Pastry Shop to Qian'er. You have no problem!"

Gu Ying trembled all over and stuttered: "Cousin, what's going on? Why did something happen to you?"

"Don't ask, I'll just ask you, is it OK or not?"

"Of course it's okay, but cousin, you..." Gu Ying was panicked and didn't know what to say.

"Okay, I've told you all. I'll go see Qian'er now. Remember, I won't tell her what I said just now."

After Li Wei said that, he walked into the room. As soon as he reached the door of the room, he suddenly heard Gu Ying whisper behind him: "Cousin, thank you for this time."





















An hour later, Li Wei was wearing a hat and quietly left the Gu family in the drizzle and left Suzhou City.
