Jin Zhong hurriedly got up and opened the door, the cold wind poured in, Gu Changlan walked in with a delicate carved red lacquered wooden box in his hand, and Yun Man behind him handed the cloak he had just untied to Jin Zhong. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's wrong?" Gu Changlan walked to the chair in front of the bed and sat down, feeling that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange.

Gu Changlan's voice was cold, but with reassuring power, he stood in front of everyone like Mount Tai, quietly shielding the people behind him from the wind and rain.

Yan Zhao's heart was sour, and he cried out with a "wow", all the grievances seemed to have an outlet for release, and tears couldn't stop flowing out of his eyes.

"Lord Gu, do you know where my father and mother are?" Yan Zhao cried whining, as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances of the past five years.

Gu Changlan's heart was suddenly hit by a sharp weapon, a pain spread to his limbs, he couldn't breathe, Yan Zhao's tears hit his heart hotly, as if to burn his heart, he involuntarily stretched out his hand to take Yan Zhao in his arms, and whispered comfortingly: "It's okay, I'm here." ”

Song Cheng's eyes were red, thinking of the days when Yan Zhao had just dug him out of the pile of dead people, because Yan Zhao was so hungry that Yan Zhao stole a bun from someone else, and was chased for two streets, but she was afraid that Song Cheng would be beaten alone, so she didn't even use light work, but reflexively protected Song Cheng when she was beaten.

She cried and shouted at them, "Don't hit him, he's sick and he's not well!

The soft bun rolled to the ground, Yan Zhao reached out to pick it up, and was trampled on by someone, but her hand was holding on to the bun and refused to let go no matter what.

The people around him looked at them indifferently, their eyes were like thorns, and his eyes hurt.

After those people beat him, he felt bored, so he dispersed, but Yan Zhao got up from the ground, stretched out his red and swollen hand and said to him, "Eat quickly, eat quickly." ”

Her face was blue and purple, and a huge bag was swollen on her forehead, but it was the most touching moment he had ever seen, even the dusty and flattened bun, he felt that there was no better food in the world.

He turned his head and wanted to secretly wipe away the tears in his eyes, but he saw Jin Zhong hand over a snow-white handkerchief, and his gentle eyes looked straight into his heart.

I don't know how long it took, Yan Zhao was tired of crying, and fell asleep in Gu Changlan's arms, Gu Changlan had a calm face, told Jin Zhong to take care of her, and walked out with Yunman.

Tonight on Chinese New Year's Eve, the mansion can be seen high hanging lanterns everywhere, reflecting the lovely white snow and red plums, the bright moon under the waterfront bridge into the water is picturesque, he slowly walked towards the depths of the royal mansion, every step is like walking on the tip of a knife.

The more he walked, the fewer the lights became, and in the end, he could only vaguely identify the road, and Yun Man followed closely behind him, looking at the direction in which Gu Changlan was walking, his brows tightened.

In the depths of the mansion, a courtyard door was open in black, like a gloomy coffin, and there were guards with big knives standing expressionlessly on both sides, and a candle flame in the distant room flickered to leak a glimmer of light, revealing a terrifying weirdness in this dark night.

"Lord Wang. ”

The guards saw the comer, and they all knelt on the ground together, and the sound of the iron armor "banged" against the hard bluestone slab, stirring up a surging echo in the silent night.

Even if Gu Changlan came, they were still expressionless, as if they had long forgotten their joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

There is a chilling silence in the night.

"Get up. ”

Gu Changlan stood at the door for a while, then pulled his legs and walked inside, the courtyard was planted with evergreen pines and cypresses, even if the wind and snow did not damage the color, Gu Changlan walked through the front hall, through the patio that symbolized the long-term fortune of the family, and his steps became heavier and heavier.

There was a loud "creak", and the heavy wooden door revealing the candlelight was pushed open by Gu Changlan, and the cold wind rolled up the faint candle flame and almost extinguished it.

In the dim light, on the top of the five steps, a portrait of a person high hangs high, on both sides of the yellowed ancestral family motto, the steps are neatly placed spotless tablets, the last three tablets are upright official books, the ink with a hint of novelty, in a pile of tablets that have been infected by the years and incense candles are particularly eye-catching.

There was only half a candle in the incense burner, and the man in the portrait in the white smoke looked down at his children and grandchildren, and his ink-dotted eyes seemed to be happy and sad, as if everything was expected for today.

This is the ancestral hall of the Gu family.

Gu Changlan didn't burn incense either, and reached out to touch the two tablets at the end.

Gu Ningzhao.

Gu Ningwei.

"It's icy and snowy, why is Gu Wang Ye here. The door to the side room had suddenly opened, and an old woman with gray hair came out of the room beside her, her tone full of mockery.

Gu Wangye's three words came out of her mouth heavily, with the sharpness of a blade.

Her torso was thin, her back was very old, and her wrinkled eyes were even more terrifying, like a dry well, which had lost its vitality.

"It's like I shouldn't be going home today. Gu Changlan didn't care, his slender index finger rubbed against the word "Ning Zhao".

"Although this mansion is where you live, but this place is still surnamed Gu, and the ancestors of the Gu family are all here, I advise the prince to come less. ”

Gu Changlan pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed silently, Yun Man quietly stepped aside, hiding himself in a dim corner.

"Mama Sun, you're too old for fear that you forgot, this king is now surnamed Gu. Gu Changlan picked up the scissors from the incense case and cut off the lamp on the wick.

"Gu?" Grandma Sun bent over and laughed, panting like a bellows, as if Gu Changlan had told a big joke.

"Mama Sun is very dissatisfied with this king's surname Gu?" Gu Changlan raised his eyebrows.

"Hehe, why does the prince have the surname Gu, do you still have to say it in the old body? The prince has dug three feet into the ground in this mansion, but he can find what he wants?"

"It's just a brand, it's just a dead thing, what if you have it, what if you don't. Gu Changlan lit a stick of incense, and the restless emotions in his heart gradually calmed down with the smoke that swirled around.

"Then the prince has taken so many lives for a dead thing!" asked Grandma Sun sharply.

"Becoming a king or defeating a king, what is there to say. Gu Changlan replied coldly.

"The prince really doesn't want to know Fu Longjue's whereabouts!"

"Grandma Sun, you asked the wrong person, I'm not the emperor, Fu Longjue is just a task given to me by the emperor. ”

"Listen to what you mean, it seems that Fu Longjue's location has already been revealed?" Grandma Sun's withered face laughed weirdly again, and the ubiquitous wrinkles concealed the nervousness that flashed in her eyes.

Gu Changlan didn't answer, he walked out and stood in the courtyard, the silver moonlight gently poured down, covering him, enveloping him like a god and Buddha above the nine heavens.

As the wrinkles on Grandma Sun's face became tighter and tighter, Gu Changlan turned around in the flying light and said gently: "Old Prince Gu is not dead, Fu Longjue is naturally in the hands of Old Prince Gu, Old Prince Gu died suddenly, that Fu Longjue is naturally in the hands of the last person he saw, as for who he saw last, isn't it all over the capital that everyone knows, is it the eldest son Gu Ningwei." ”

Mama Sun's dry eyes glared angrily, trembling uncontrollably, she looked at Gu Changlan's disappearing figure, fell to the ground suddenly, and muddy tears dripped on the cold green bricks.
