Chapter 100: Xiao Wu's Portrait

After all, the carriage is different from those who ride alone, and has almost been caught up by the men in black several times, and Gu Zhirong, who was sitting in the carriage a few times, heard the sound of "clanging" from the iron plate outside the carriage, presumably the sound of the long knives thrown by the men in black hitting the iron plate, which was terrifying to hear. Fortunately, Shangwu's driving skills are quite skilled, and he desperately drove up the mountain along the mountain road, and did not take the main road, but picked a fork in the road, and kept bumping all the way, and finally got rid of those black-clothed people.

When they reached the top of the mountain, the three of them, including the horses, were tired enough, and at this time, Gu Zhirong's eyes were sharp, and he found that a roof was exposed in the weeds not far away, so he pointed there. The three of them decided to drive the carriage there and talk about it later.

By this time, it was already completely dark, and it would take several hours for them to throw the man in black so far away, even if they chased him again. What's more, in this barren mountain range, you can still see the way up the mountain during the day, but at night, it is pitch black, and it is not so easy to get up the mountain.

So, they can rest here for the night.

When you get closer, it's actually a thatched hut, the color of which is similar to the weeds growing outside, so it's no wonder it's not easy to spot. The door was made of a thick plank, which was very strong, and it was not easy for ordinary beasts to break in.

The door was not locked, and the owner of this house must have been very confident, and he did not expect that someone would find out about this place and come in to take a peek. When I pushed the door in, I saw that it was made of adobe bricks, and a rectangular wooden board was placed on it, and then straw was laid to make do with it. There was a table with a missing leg next to it, and a stool made of stumps on the floor. Humble is a little more rudimentary. It's still a place to rest, isn't it?

Gu Zhirong didn't have anything, her parents were busy with work in her previous life. didn't care about taking care of her, so he threw her directly to her grandparents in the countryside. At that time, the conditions in the countryside were not very good, and I lived my childhood life with a broken straw mat and a broken quilt. Some of the more difficult families in the same village did not even have broken straw mats, so they slept with straw under them.

She searched the room for a while, and found a half-burned candle under the table. Then he found a fire fold that could still be used, lit a candle, and the little hut suddenly lit up.

And then. She noticed that there seemed to be some differences between the reactions of Shangwu and the crown prince.

Born with a golden key, the pampered master could not see a word of complaint and walked in the door. He sat straight on the straw on the kang. And that "poor family" was born in martial arts. Standing at the door, looking at the simple furnishings in the room, his brows were furrowed, his expression was a little dull, and his eyes roamed the room, as if he was looking for something to sit down.

Gu Zhirong glanced at Shang Wu suspiciously: "What's the matter, is there anything wrong in this house?"

Shang Wu came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "There is nothing wrong with it." I was just...... Just take a casual look. ”

The prince said coldly: "Is the carriage hidden?"

Gu Zhirong couldn't help but say, "It's really strange, you know how to hide the carriage yourself." Xiao Wu is a country kid who has never been hunted down and killed, how can he understand this? Can he not be your prince's golden branches and jade leaves, and he disdains to do these jobs?"

"The prince?" Shang Wu heard this, his face changed with fright, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop" sound, and kept kowtowing: "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I hope the prince will forgive his sins." Horse...... The chariot villain was hidden early in the morning, and several stacks of straw were added to it, so that ordinary people could not see it. ”

Gu Zhirong rolled his eyes, this prince's aura was really big enough, just a name scared people to the point of urine.

"Hey, Xiao Wu, you're really a dead eye. Gu Zhirong said seriously, "Haven't you thought that I lied to you?

"Isn't it the crown prince?" Shang Wu looked at Gu Zhirong inexplicably, thought for a while, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Miss Gu, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, who dares to pretend to be the prince today, it is a capital crime to kill the head!"

The prince glanced at Gu Zhirong, and then fell on Shang Wu: "Your surname is Shang?"

Shang Wu nodded hurriedly and said, "The villain's surname is Shang, and the single word is Wu." ”

The prince thought for a while: "What is the relationship between Shang'an, the secretary of the military department, and you?"

Shang Wu looked at the prince in amazement, he didn't expect that with just a surname, the prince could think of the secretary of the military department of the important ministers of the dynasty. He kowtowed and said, "Shang'an, the secretary of the military department, is the villain's uncle. ”

"Oh?" the prince's interest was obviously raised, "since you are a pro-uncle, why didn't he promote you?"

A trace of shame flashed over Shang Wu's handsome face: "It's the villain who is incompetent, and he can't get into the eyes of Lord Shangshu." ”

The prince's expression remained unchanged, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised. He had long heard that Shang'an, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was upright and upright, and he didn't follow personal feelings, and it seemed that this was really the case.

"Get up. The prince waved his hand.

Shang Wu didn't dare to look up at the crown prince in front of him, and stood up trembling with his head down. Suddenly, there was a soft sound, and a scroll of pictures fell out of his sleeve pocket.

Shang Wu's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly bent down to pick it up. Unexpectedly, Gu Zhirong's skills were faster, and he suddenly caught this picture scroll, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, why do you still have a picture scroll on your body when you go out, could it be a portrait of your sweetheart?"

The crown prince is in front, how dare Shang Wu take it back? When Gu Zhirong asked him this, his face was even more embarrassed, "This is ......" and he didn't say a word for a long time.

With this hateful prince all day long, Gu Zhirong was so depressed that he was going to die, and now he accidentally picked up a painting, driven by his narrow mentality, he wanted to play a good trick on Shangwu and relieve the depression in his heart.

She glanced at Xiao Wu with a smile, and saw that he looked extremely nervous, his eyes were staring at herself, and she thought that he was being spied on and looked embarrassed, so she opened the picture scroll and said: "Oh Xiao Wu, what's so embarrassing about this, my fair lady, good gentleman." I'll check for you and look at this aunt ......."

The word "mother" choked in his throat, and Gu Zhirong raised his head in shock from the self-portrait: "Xiao Wu, what do you mean by this?"

The picture scroll in her hand is clearly herself, lifelike, and no different from a real person.

Shang Wu hung his head low.

Gu Zhirong frowned, and replayed the scene of his encounter with the martial artist in front of him over and over again in his mind. She escaped from the secret cave, and was thinking about stopping a carriage on the official road on the side, when she saw Shangwu and his carriage, is there really such a coincidence in the world?

There won't be too many clever things in the world, and the rest should be conspiracies.

She was already able to determine that the purple-robed man who wanted to be rude to her was instructed by Cen Guifei, and Cen Guifei was the niece of the eldest lady, that is, Dafang had already begun to act.

What about the second room, is the fourth lady who has suffered such a big loss willing to let her go so easily?

Gu Zhirong raised his head suddenly, stared at Shang Wu, and said word by word: "You were sent by my fourth sister?"

Shang Wu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Gu Zhirong. (To be continued......)
