Chapter Seventy-Two: Gathering Momentum
On the lattice of the window were a few weary birds that had returned from the snow, and they did not flapp their wings or chirp, but buried their heads deep in their wings, as if they had found a place of refuge for the weary souls in this rare sunny day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Who does he value so much?" Gao Xun withdrew his gaze from the bird by the window, looking at Cheng Jinzhi in confusion, "Who could that be? Anyway, I know it's definitely not you." ”
The latter sentence is redundant. Cheng Jinzhi squeezed out a mad smile towards Gao Xun, and said with a sour voice when he came back to his senses, "That old man has more women than sons under his knees, although he regards my concubine's daughter like a mustard, but he loves his own son very much, and he is as precious as his life." ”
Gao Heng's eyes rolled: "You mean... Your eldest brother Cheng Xuan?"
At this time, Gao Xun also said: "But I remember that Master Cheng still has a younger son, what do you want to do to your eldest brother and your younger brother?"
"What are you doing, do I look like such a vicious person?" Cheng Jinzhi glared at Gao Xun, "My eldest brother is the son of the Cheng family, and that old man wants his son to become a Chan, and he has spent a lot of thought on him, but the eldest brother has repeatedly contradicted and disobeyed many times, which has disappointed the old man very much." Since the big climate is not good, he naturally pins all his hopes on this little son now......"
Cheng Jinzhi's eyes rolled slightly, and his eyes flashed slightly: "What I mean is to take his most precious youngest son and exchange Hanqing back." ”
"It's a bit of an eye for an eye. Gao Xun nodded with interest and asked again, "But... How do we change this? We can't snatch your brother back, can we?"
This may sound like a bad idea, but it's a viable one. It's just that... We can't do anything about it. Gao Heng took a sip of tea calmly, and didn't care about Cheng Jinzhi's resentful expression, raised his eyes slightly and said, "Fortunately, the Gu family has always had the Jianghu forces behind it as a support, and the two complement each other. ”
"It just so happens that there is a winter solstice festival in the city tonight, and a hundred ghosts parade the streets, that kid likes to play and eat, and he is noisy to go every year. Cheng Jinzhi said with wide eyes and stuck out his tongue, hung his hand to his chest and pretended to be gloomy, "When the time comes, I will pretend to be a ghost, and then serve him in a pot." ”
Seeing this, Gao Xun couldn't help but say melancholy: "Jin Zhi, you look like a green-faced fanged ghost, it looks like you want to stew him in a pot." ”
"I'll be the first to stew you. Cheng Jinzhi grimaced at Gao Xun angrily, then turned his head to look at Gao Heng, and his tone softened significantly, "But... After all, he is still an innocent child, and we have no choice but to do this, so as not to hurt him. ”
"Don't worry, we're just borrowing him, and we'll be fine. ”
Gao Heng comforted Cheng Jinzhi to sit down, thought for a moment, and suddenly looked frozen: "But this is not enough." ”
"Isn't that enough?" Gao Xun leaned forward and said excitedly, "Could it be that he will be so ruthless that he doesn't even want his own son?"
However, Gao Heng ignored Gao Xun's words, he looked up at the clouds floating in the twilight outside the window, and said unhurriedly: "In the past few years, he has deliberately wooed him three or four times, but I have turned a blind eye, even if I came to marry Jin Zhi, I didn't have any intention of having a deep friendship with him, but now that it looks like it's time to meet him." ”
Cheng Jinzhi's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but worry: "But if you go to him at this juncture, will it make that old man suspicious?"
"Jin Zhi, don't worry about this. Gao Xun was a little unimpressed, "The third brother is the most righteous in the eyes of everyone, and he can stick a knife in both sides for the sake of his friends." Now that Xiao Gu and the entire Gu family are in danger, it is only appropriate for him to go to Lord Cheng at this time, after all, no matter how you say it, Xiao Gu is Lord Cheng's righteous son, who will he find if he is not looking for him?"
As soon as Gao Xun's words fell, he pursed his lips, and then said with a sad face: "Third brother, the reason why you have always refused to form an alliance with Master Cheng is because... Still haunted by that incident?"
However, Gao Xun's cautious temptation made Gao Heng's eyes instantly shrouded in a dark haze.
Although Cheng Jinzhi learned about Gao Heng's childhood encounters and tribulations through Concubine Hui's mouth, she didn't know that the reason for this was actually related to Cheng Yan. But out of concern for Gao Heng, just when she was struggling with whether to ask directly, Gao Heng had already stopped the topic with a blank face.
"It's all in the past, don't talk about it again. ”
Cheng Jinzhi looked at Gao Heng's resolute but forbearant face in a daze, and a little pity and emotion gradually appeared in his heart.
In many cases, although some injuries have not been mentioned by the person concerned, it does not mean that it has disappeared and passed away with the wind. This truth is not only reflected in Gao Heng, but also in her miserable life.
But what Cheng Jinzhi still doesn't know is that Gao Heng was sent to the Western Jin Dynasty as a hostage, and the minister who took the lead in proposing to Emperor Zhou was Cheng Yan, the minister of Yasukuni.
Since he had stood in the camp of Empress Zhao and the crown prince, even if he was shocked to learn that he was likely to be the accomplice behind the prince, Gao Heng was not very surprised by this.
But he could clearly feel that the situation he was in at the moment was as chaotic and ethereal as seeing the clouds and mist, and no matter how hard he tried to clear the clouds, all he saw was a hazy miasma, not the brilliance of the red sun.
"I don't know how Xiao Gu is now?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was in an awkward state for a while, Gao Xun realized that what he said was biased, and hurriedly changed the subject.
Cheng Jinzhi heard Gao Xun talk about Gu Hanqing, and the worry in his eyes surged again, Gao Heng looked at the worry in the corners of Cheng Jinzhi's eyes, and couldn't help but purse the corners of his lips, but quickly turned color and comforted: "You don't have to worry, there are people from the military department outside Dali Temple who are staring, and they will report to me as soon as there is any trouble." Before going to find Cheng Yan, I will go to Dali Temple first, and maybe, I can save it and go to Chengfu again. ”
Gao Heng said this, his eyes flashed slightly: "Besides, Xiao Yu took someone from Cen Feng, according to Cen Feng's personality, he will not let him do anything." Today in the court, he tried his best to keep the cold and clear many times, which shows that he does have reservations about this case, and in this matter, he and we are all the way. ”
Gao Xun listened to Gao Heng's words, and thought with his hands on his shoulders: "It stands to reason that Tu Lingsi has always been a confidant of his father, why did his father easily agree to hand over Hanqing to Dali Temple this time? This seems to have the meaning of questioning Cen Feng's ability to do things." ”
"There's no time left here to figure out my father's intentions. ”
Gao Heng's tone was heavy, and a grim light was twisted into his eyes, hidden and silent.
"Han Qing just entered Dali Temple today, they will bow first and then soldiers at the beginning, but after tonight, everything will be difficult to control. We don't have much time, we have to race against the clock, we must hold them down before the night falls tomorrow. ”
