Chapter 758 News from the capital
Gu Fei said angrily: "You are becoming more glib now."
She stepped in, Qin'er stood at the door and didn't move. Gu Fei turned around and said, "Qin'er, come in too."
Qin'er just came in and closed the door.
The room is no different from an ordinary inn, with a bed and a round table surrounded by several chairs.
Xue Chen poured two cups of tea. Gu Fei asked Qin'er to sit down, but Qin'er refused to sit down and insisted on standing by the door. Gu Fei had to let her go.
Xue Chen glanced at Qin'er. If Miss Gu allowed her to come in, she must be a confidant. He didn't hide anything and said with a smile: "We haven't been apart for more than a month, and the girl's style is even better than before."
Gu Fei glared at him and said, "Let's get down to business."
“How is the capital doing now?”
Xue Chen then said seriously: "The news I just received is that the imperial court has mobilized Qin Guogong's Red Dragon Army to go northwest, and then mobilized 20,000 troops and horses from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, led by Ning Guogong, to prepare for a flanking attack on An Guogong. "
Gu Fei nodded slowly.
Xue Chen suddenly approached her and said, "Last time you asked me to inquire about the two princes, and later I heard that the two princes were rescued on the island in the middle of the lake. Is it you who did it?"
Gu Fei neither admitted nor denied, but just said: "Several princes are missing, what is the emperor's reaction?"
Xue Chen suddenly laughed, "That night, people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, as well as people from Zhu Yiwei, filled the capital to capture the demons of the Red Lotus Sect."
"There has been a riot for several days. Several of the Red Lotus Sect's nests near the capital were removed, and many of the Holy Mother's disciples were also arrested."
Gu Fei coughed lightly, "When did I frame you?"
“This matter has nothing to do with me.”
Xue Chen did not argue with her, "I heard that the emperor was furious in the palace that day and immediately asked Zhu Yiwei to arrest some of the princes."
"It was Prime Minister Su and Ning Guogong who urged them, saying that arresting the princes at this moment would not help, but would only cause dissatisfaction among several princes. Now that An Guogong and Dai Wang have not dealt with it yet, the court cannot force the princes to rebel at this moment. "
“The emperor could bear it now.”
Gu Fei glanced at him sideways, "You are really quite capable. It has only been a while since you were able to find out news from the palace."
Xue Chen chuckled and said, "Actually, the little **** in the palace is easy to bribe."
“They sometimes look inconspicuous, but actually they know a lot of things.”
“Besides, I don’t want them to do anything harmful. They are just passing on news. There is no risk. They still have money to earn, so why not do it.”
“If you need news from the palace in the future, I can ask someone to pass it on to you every day.”
Gu Fei nodded, "Okay, I just need news from the palace. No matter big or small, as long as it is a matter of the palace, please send it to me."
She tilted her head and said, "The news comes out every day. You are not an easy briber."
Xue Chen heyed a few times, "You guessed it wrong."
“The people who are bought by Ruyilou are all the humble people in the palace. Who among the powerful eunuchs can appreciate my little money?”
“There is a young **** who specializes in pulling the Night Incense Cart and is responsible for collecting all the news. When he pulls the Night Incense Cart out of the palace every day, he will give the news to my people.”
Gu Fei's mouth twitched slightly, "This is really a good idea."
She thought for a long time, knocked on the table lightly, looked at Xue Chen and said meaningfully: "Now that King An and King Dai have rebelled, King Chu and King Wei are not under the jurisdiction of the court, and troubled times have come -"
