I understood what she meant by saying that she was going to stand guard at the door downstairs in case someone broke in, so I answered with a smile as I suppressed the doubts in my heart. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Turning around, he gently lifted his skirt and walked inside.

In addition to the stairwell, the second floor is a sparse and open through-room, separated by rows of bookcases. I was about to turn around the outermost row of bookcases, and I saw a man slowly standing up from behind the large bookcase next to the fourth row.

"Brother!" I couldn't help but be a little stunned.

My brother walked over with a smile, "Why is it still like this?" ”

I wiped the corners of my eyes with a handkerchief, "Or what?"

"Silly cute and good-looking!" the corners of my brother's lips curled slightly.

I ran a few steps forward, and I wanted to ask my brother to take back his words as I had in the past, but when I got closer, I raised my eyes and saw clear lines in the corners of his eyes, and tears suddenly welled up again. The elder brother is the twenty-third year of Zhaoming, and the idlers in Beijing often call him the jade-faced Gu Lang. However, I am only 25 years old this year, and the corners of my eyes are wrinkled!

My brother was also a little choked, and he didn't make a sound for a while, but he just stretched out his hand and pulled me to sit down next to the bookcase.

I held back my tears, looked up and asked with a smile, "Why is my brother here?"

"Didn't you trust the princess? The elder brother asked gently.

After his reminder, I remembered that in the days when Zhaoxun was just canonized in September, at the six-life and hundred-day banquet, I did ask the princess to take care of my brother. The princess said that she would find an opportunity to arrange for me to meet my brother. Later, it was mostly because my brother went to the north with the army, so it was delayed.

Now the princess is anxious about me, and she has helped me silently, which is really grateful.

"The eldest princess told Commander Huo that the library of the princess's mansion needs a pair of plaques, and invited me to come and live here for a few days in the first month, and inscribe some words on the plaques in the garden, and then she will keep them as appropriate, especially this library must write a good pair for her. Commander Huo agreed, and I came here in the second half of yesterday. ”

That's a good excuse. My brother's words have always been hard to find, but now that he is down, no one will have any doubts when he is asked to write the plaque.

"Yes, the princess had already guessed my identity last September, so I simply asked her to take care of me. ”

Brother bowed: "Although one more person knows about it, there is more danger of leaking out, but it is difficult to support it alone, and we do need people's help." ”

He looked at my complexion and clothes carefully, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are doing well in King Xiao's Mansion." I have asked people to send a lot of things before, and I have had a very good time this year. King Xiao ...... to you"

I saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, so I simply responded generously: "King Xiao is very good to me. ”

The elder brother's eyes were full of smiles: "That's good." I was worried that you still have ...... in your heart Since you said yes, it's good to think about it!"

I asked a few more questions about my brother's current situation, and my brother also smiled and replied that it was good or something. I was distressed and annoyed that he didn't tell the truth, so I picked out and said, "What is the reason for serving wine in a pot on Chinese New Year's Eve?"

The brother was stunned and said, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, oh, I bought a few marinated vegetables with money that day, and called a few brothers who had died on the battlefield to gather together." Since the accident at the Gu family, I stopped drinking, so I watched them make fists and pour them wine next to them with a wine jug. What is this? One of them was slashed by the Turks to save me, and what is it if I pour them wine?"

I was a little stunned, and remembered the news from Hinata River that day, so I asked again, "Then why are you unhappy?"

"Those of us all had military exploits when we were in the north, and Commander Huo personally said that he would report to the Ministry of War for a reward after returning to Beijing. But that day, I heard that Commander Huo didn't write my name in the letter to the imperial court at all. Naturally depressed!"

I listened first and was happy that my brother had a few righteous people to accompany me, and when I heard the latter words, I felt relieved. However, he was still relieved: "When Commander Huo returns to Beijing, all the yamen of the ministry are about to be sealed, and if the seal will be opened in the next year, will he still have other folds to hand over?"

"Maybe so. ”

"Or my brother will go to the ...... People asked Commander Huo what the reason was. "I originally wanted to say that my brother could go to Tuo Changruo to ask Commander Huo, but when I said that, I remembered that my brother's identity is not as good as before, and the concierge of the powerful house in Beijing is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but I am afraid that my brother will not be able to see Changruo if he really goes to Xie Mansion, and he will suffer some white eyes. So he changed his story.

It's better to wait for me to return to the house and then send a message to Chang Ruo, and ask him to find out what Commander Huo means.

The elder brother smiled self-deprecatingly: "The trees are falling and scattered, and the people are going to tea and cool, who is still willing to accept the Gu family's request now! Not to mention this, I have always wanted to ask you, that day in the Jokhang Temple, I saw that you were a little panicked when you finished the Dharma and King Xiao came out of the Jizo Bodhisattva Hall, what is the reason?"

I thought about it intently, and remembered that when I came out of the main hall that day, I saw Mo Di standing in the crowd, and I thought that he would continue to take my life for the life of the Xuanmen Master, so I was a little panicked. But he didn't do anything later, but quietly retreated.

Then he responded: "Does my brother know about Xuanmen?"

The elder brother was calm: "I know." He looked sideways at me: "Have you seen Xuan Lonely Dao Elder or Mo Di? Could it be that the new horizontal sword made by the Great Qi on the Northland battlefield has something to do with you?"

I was a little nervous, worried that my brother would also scold me, "I was the one who gave the sword-making method to Changruo." Mo Di met him when he was in the palace and claimed to be the son of Emperor Wei. Later, in the Jokhang Temple, he said that because I violated the ancestral teachings, I killed many people with horizontal swords, and for the sake of the life of the Xuanmen master, he wanted to take my life. But I don't know what the reason for the Xuanmen is?"

He hurriedly added: "At that time, it was also for emergency relief." What's more, as the Venerable Master said, killing to stop killing is great compassion. ”

After speaking, he looked at his brother a little pitifully.

My brother reached over and rubbed it lightly on my head, and quickly withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm already married, it's not like I comforted you like when I was a child, otherwise the high bun would be scattered in a while." ”

After a slight pause, Fang said: "The ins and outs of the Xuanmen were originally only passed down by word of mouth among the eldest son of the Gu family, but now the Gu clan is in turmoil, and many rules cannot be kept. As the second daughter of the Gu family's long house, it doesn't hurt to know. Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, we Gu have been obsessed with articles and classics, and have collected all kinds of books. Later, because of the book, I got acquainted with a Taoist chief, whose surname was Ruan.

There are two ancestors of the Ruan family, Ruan Ji and Ruan Xian and Shan Tao and other metaphysical masters, known as the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", who do not follow the etiquette and law, advocate the learning of Lao Zhuang, be quiet and inactive, and be one with nature. Because it was not allowed to seize the imperial power, the seven sages went to the east and west with different fates. However, the classics that the Seven Sages spared no effort to sort out and collect were all passed down by the Nguyen clan. Later, when the Taoist chief died, he entrusted the collection of the seven sages in the Taoist temple to the Gu Library, and agreed not to abuse the contents of the collection, and if he violated metaphysics and the way of nature, he should apologize for his own crimes. ”

I couldn't help but shudder: "Is Mo Di a descendant of the Xuanmen?"

The elder brother said: "We don't know the specific situation, Xuanmen is hidden in the world, often relying on the Taoist temple, the news is not clear, I only know that now it is a Xuanshan Taoist, and the eldest disciple is named Modi." ”

I especially had a question in my heart: "Since Xuanmen believes in Lao Zhuang's theory, why are there still books on the art of war, killing weapons, governing the world, and strategy?"
