Gu Qian knew that the man was older than his official as soon as he saw the color of the man's clothes, he put down Brother Hu and knelt on the ground to salute: "The lower official has seen the adult, thank you for saving your life!"

The person behind the bookcase looked indifferent, but he was more polite than Gu Qian imagined, and he only heard a clear voice and said, "Master Gu doesn't need to be polite, please get up." ”

Originally, Gu Qian was not familiar with the job of kneeling, not to mention that as a modern person, he rejected this evil old social habit in his heart, so after listening to the words of the people in the audience, he didn't get up by himself without being modest.

Seeing Gu Qian's movements so freely, a flash of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, but he still quietly pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down." ”

Gu Qian paused for a moment and sat down according to his words.

"I haven't asked Engong Zun's name yet, how to call it?" Gu Qian sat down and asked.

The man was not polite, and said lightly: "In Xia Xi, he is the deputy of Jinyi Wei, the surname is Lu, and the word is An." ”

"It turned out to be Lord Lu! Disrespectful and disrespectful!" Gu Qian said excitedly: "Lord Lu is really a marksman, if it weren't for Lord Lu's help, I'm afraid Xiao'er and I would have been buried underwater." ”

"Master Gu doesn't have to care, killing the water bandits is a matter of a certain matter. ”

"My lord, because of what happened next, the adult killed the killer, it won't cause any trouble to the adult, right?" Gu Qian looked at Lu Ji's indifferent expression, and couldn't help but worry, even in ancient times, this person was not killed casually, right?

"It's just that I killed a few water bandits, what's the trouble?" Lu Ji listened to his words, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, "Or are you worried that it's not a water bandit?"

Could it be that his previous guess was true? Gu Qian's face froze, and he slowly recalled the abnormal signs that night. The bandits did not look simple, they did not rush to find his belongings after boarding the ship, but pursued him all the way, and it did not look like they were robbing money, but like they were robbing their lives! Who was dealing with him? Could it be...... Gu Qian was frightened, there seemed to be only one person he had offended recently!

That is to be the head of the court!

Could it be that the old man degraded his own official, he still wants his own life?!

The more Gu Qian thought about it, the more frightened he became, and a layer of cold sweat gradually oozed from his forehead. Lu Ji looked at him from above, but felt that this person's reaction was finally normal.

Gu Qian figured this out, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Lu is not afraid of offending Yan ......" Before he finished speaking, he heard Lu Ji snort lightly: "It's just that I killed a few water bandits, who did you offend?"

Gu Qian was grateful, but after such a big favor, what did he pay?

"Lord Lu's life-saving grace is unforgettable!" Gu Qian said solemnly: "In the future, please send your lordship, Gu will not frown at the sword mountain and sea of fire!"

This is too much to say, and Lu Ji is all said: "Tanhualang?"

"Hey!"

"Gu Shenzhi?"

"Xia Guan is here. ”

Lu Ji looked at him unceremoniously for a long time and said, "Before leaving Beijing, Xu Shangshu wrote a letter to me to entrust him. ”

Xu Shangshu? Gu Qian said, isn't this the master Xu Shangde who has disappeared behind closed doors? Could it be that the old man didn't shut himself up, but used a plan to hide from the world?

So, he's still a reliable teacher?

Gu Qian's heart turned a thousand times, and after he slowly calmed down, he turned his puzzled eyes to Lu Ji, this is the deputy Qianhu of Jinyi Guard, from the official of the fifth grade, how could he listen to Xu Shangshu's words? You must know that it takes extraordinary courage to go against Yan Ke!

"When I was young, I studied under Master Xu. Seeing his doubts, Lu Ji gave a rare explanation. Gu Qian suddenly realized, no wonder Teacher Xu's letter worked, it turned out that Lu Ji was his student! I didn't expect Old Man Xu to be like a good gentleman all day long, and he actually cultivated such a powerful student, Jinyi Wei Deputy Qianhu, that is an official from the fifth grade! Even if this official position is in the middle and lower ranks of the Jing Dynasty's official sequence, then it has to look at the age of the official, right?

I thought that at the age of twenty-three, climbing to the seventh grade was the green smoke from the ancestral tomb (I had just been picked up to the eighth grade), but looking at Lu Ji, he was only three or four years older than himself, and he was stunned that he was several levels higher than himself! This gap! Gu Qian was boiling, and when he saw Lu Ji, it was as if he saw a bright future.

So he did another thing that made the deputy Qianhu lord stunned, only to see the future county lord stand up suddenly, with a solemn face, and solemnly bent down.

"Senior brother, please bow carefully!"

Lord Lu didn't pay attention to Gu Tanhua for several days, and this cheap junior brother's move was really surprising to him!

What about the courage to confront Lord Shoufu in public? What about the character of a scholar? This official fan who sticks up when he sees a powerful person is really the upright Tanhualang under Master Xu? Lu Ji feels that he has been deceived, this guy surnamed Gu Mingqian is a villain who tends to be inflammatory, where is it worth spending effort to save?

The senior brother's face is uncertain, and the junior brother is not unfamiliar with each other, anyway, for Gu Qian, this bull is not afraid of Yan Shoufu, and the future is limitless Senior brother, he is settled, in this era of black eyes, how can he mix in the officialdom without finding a backer?

Everyone said that the Jinyi guards were fierce and fierce, and they wished they wouldn't provoke them in this life, but in Gu Qian's opinion, the more famous they are, the more worthy of stuttering, if he remembers correctly, before entering the door, Brother Hu had a good time in Lu Ji's room, just rushing to this point, Gu Qian can also determine that Lu Jiren is not bad.

No one dared to provoke the cold face of Lord Deputy Qianhu, and Gu Qian also took Brother Hu to nest in the cabin, trying not to provoke him. After two days of recuperation, Gu Qian's body gradually recovered, and he also knew the whereabouts of Gu An and the others.

After sending out the last distress signal that night, Gu Qian fainted, fortunately, Lu Ji rescued people in time and fished him and Hu Ge'er up from the river, it was a coincidence, this time Lu Ji was sent to Nanjing, and the guest he sent was none other than Li Yingchun, a famous doctor in this dynasty.

With the blessing of Dr. Li, Gu Qian's father and son were quickly out of danger of life, because he was holding Brother Tiger all the way, his body was consumed too much, and he slept for two days before he woke up, Brother Hu'er's condition was a little better than him, and after being cared for by Lu Ji overnight, he was alive and kicking the next day, which was the scene that Gu Qian saw when he entered the door.

Gu Qian's jaw almost dropped when he heard the news, and when he heard the news from the young man, that is, Chen Twelve, Lu Ji's young son died a month ago, he instantly understood Lu Ji's mood as a father.

Even if his first thought after knowing that there was no hope of escaping was to try his best to create a way for Brother Hu to live, as a father, Lu Ji's mood was probably more sad than him, right? Gu Qian's eyes instantly appeared in front of him with a grief-stricken figure holding his young son.

This Senior Brother Lu seems to be really a good person!

Lu Ji was blinded by Gu Qian's eyes, dignified brocade clothes and deputy Qianhu, his hands were stained with blood, and he was like a murderer, how could he never have thought that one day he would be looked at by this cheap junior brother with a weird expression that you know how to feel. You know my feelings, you know what a fart!

Lu Jiyin's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Is your official guide still there?"

Gu Qian was stunned for a moment and said, "Where are you!"

Saying that, he climbed neatly from the big boat to the small boat behind, and in Gu An's surprised gaze, Gu Qian lay on the side of Xue Yuniang's coffin, stretched out his arms, and pulled down hard, took out a bag sewn with leather, opened the bag, and took out an oil-paper bag from it, unpacked layer after layer of oil-paper bags, and finally got Gu Qian's official guide, that is, the ancient ID card and letter of introduction.

Lu Ji stood on the big boat and watched this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, this guy who climbed into the boat like a monkey and picked at the rope, was he really a handsome and dashing Tanhualang with a handsome face and a dashing demeanor appointed by the saint?

Gu Qian, who got the ID card, also waved his hand at Lu Qianhu, Lu Qianhu glared at him expressionlessly, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

Gu Qian scratched his head, how could this offend him?

"Master, what are you doing with this?" Gu An said puzzled.

"Lord Lu asked me if I was still there. Gu Qian explained, and then said: "This ship is really cramped, I have wronged you." ”

"Master, where do you say, it's good to be able to pick up this life, where do you say anything wronged or not. Gu An clasped his hands together and said with a happy face: "Fortunately, you and the little master are safe and sound, otherwise where would I have the face to see the old lady!"

"Alas, pity Mother Xu and Ginkgo!" Gu Qian looked at the wide river and sighed, after Lu Ji rescued him that day, he also rescued Gu An and the boatman and others by the way, but Lu Ji was on official business, and it was an extrajudicial grace to allow their father and son, so naturally Xu Ma and others would not be allowed to get on the boat.

Gu Qian was asleep and couldn't make decisions for the servants, but fortunately, Gu An was only injured in the arm, and he was able to move quite freely, taking advantage of the official ship that landed and sent it to stop in Yangzhou, he made the boatman carry Xu's mother to the local hospital, and left a few silver money for Xu's mother to recuperate, and Ginkgo biloba disappeared in this disaster.

Gu Qian didn't have any impression of this room, let alone any feelings, but Ginkgo was implicated because of him, and a few days had passed, but he couldn't go back to find someone.

"Is there anyone else in the Ginkgo family?" asked Gu Qian.

"She was sold to the Xue family when she was a child, and she followed her wife all the way to marry, and she really didn't know about her family. ”

Gu Qian was speechless, looked at the river for a long time, and finally returned to the big boat stupidly.

Lu Ji's official ship was very fast, and it was very hard for Gu An and others to chase after him, but it was easy to follow the big officials, and no one dared to check Lu Ji's official ship, and their small boat chasing behind the official ship also passed through various checkpoints smoothly and rushed to the city of Nanjing in late March.

When he arrived in Nanjing, Lu Ji was about to abandon the boat and go ashore, and his destination arrived.

Gu Qian was not so lucky, he wanted to go down the Yangtze River, pass through Anqing, send Xue Yuniang's coffin back to his hometown for burial, and then go to Fujian to take office.

Getting along along this way has deepened the understanding of each other, Lu Ji slowly understood the dirty heart hidden under Gu Tanhua's handsome face, and Gu Tanhua gradually realized the soft side under this guy's cold and hard appearance through Lu Qianhu's cold face.

Anyway, when he talked to Gu An about things, and when he left Brother Hu to Lord Lu to take care of, this cheap senior brother didn't treat his son harshly even if his face was cold.

When Gu Tanhua was driven off the official ship and jumped onto the hired boat, he was still looking at this cheap senior brother with admiration.

Lu Ji was furious by him, and before he said goodbye to Gu Qian, he was about to step on the horse waiting on the shore, preparing to part ways with Gu Qian, and never get along with each other. It's a pity that he underestimated the face of this cheap junior brother, and saw that Lu Ji had just stepped on the horse, and the cheap junior brother behind him chased after him.

"Senior brother!" Gu Tanhua waved his hand.

"Something?" Lu Ji said reluctantly.

"I don't know when I will see my brother again. Gu Tanhua sighed, her face full of emotion. Lu Ji felt that this cheap junior brother finally understood something and knew how to say a few words of farewell, but unfortunately Gu Tanhua's next words once again refreshed Lu Qianhu's perception of the lower limit, only to see this Tanhualang stretched out his hand and said unashamedly: "Senior brother, if you lose the protection of your senior brother, the next journey of the younger brother must be dangerous and abnormal......

"What are you going to do?" Lu Ji said vigilantly.

"Senior brother, do you have any extra waist cards?"
