"He was blind. ”

"My ears are also deaf. ”

"The tongue was also pulled out. ”

"You can't see, you can't hear, you can't speak...... What is the difference between such a person and death?" Zhang Junling crossed his arms and leaned on the side of the stone wall of the secret basement of Kunhai Tower, Gongsun Yue's appearance was so miserable that even she couldn't bear to look at it indifferently: "You might as well let him die, it will be a relief." ”

There is a small sarcophagus in the basement, just enough for a person to lie in and not look crowded.

Gongsun Yue was lying in this sarcophagus, his breathing was weak, and there was almost no undulation.

The blood finally stopped, and the bright red robe was cut through the middle, revealing a scarred chest...... This man's robe was stained with the blood of countless people, and this day it was finally his turn to be soaked with his own blood. After being dragged out of the palace, the executioner in front of the crown prince cut off three hundred pieces of flesh on him, each knife perfectly controlled, making him suffer but unable to die.

After angering the prince.

Gongsun Yue endured great pain for the rest of his life.

"I used the 'Holy Light Technique', the secret method of the Taoist Sect, which can always give him a temporary relief from his suffering. Gu Qian shook his head and said softly, "I can understand His Highness's anger. But not so...... Cruel. ”

After saying cruelly, even he was silent.

Is it cruel?

These are all tortures invented by Gongsun Yue himself.

"If you can save it, except for your eyesight, you should be able to recover everything else, but it will cost you a lot. ”

Zhang Junling said lightly: "And this is an act of rebellion against the holy will, Kunhailou has just gained a firm foothold, you have to think clearly about the meaning behind this move." ”

After mentioning this sentence lightly, she pursed her lips, "Don't care about my opinion, I support whatever choice you make." ”

Gu Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's not as complicated as you think." Since the cage of the parade is under the jurisdiction of Kunhailou, then His Royal Highness must know...... What will happen. There are no secrets in Tiandu City. ”

Speaking of this, the young judge raised his head, stared at the kerosene chandelier shaking from the low and narrow ceiling above his head, and said calmly: "Everything that happens here, Your Highness knows. ”

"In the eyes of outsiders, I have 'broken' with Gongsun......"

Gu Qian's eyes became bright, staring at the man in the sarcophagus, and his voice was firm: "He is paving the way for me." He had known that there would be such a day. ”

Zhang Junling chuckled lowly, noncommittal.

She had nothing to sympathize with about a butcher like Gongsun with blood on his hands.

If Gu Qian hadn't been here, she wouldn't have looked at Gongsun Yue more than she would have in her life.

"So I'm going to save his life...... Whether I can be saved or not. At least I'm going to give it a try. ”

Gu Qian made up his mind, took Zhang Junling out of the underground secret room, and stood at the top of the stone steps, he looked back at the darkness in the depths of the corridor, Gongsun Yue's injuries are too serious now, and then he will step on the "Holy Light Technique" to perform the gap, and keep coming here to renew his life and heal him.

Return to the lobby of Kunhai Tower.

The "dignitaries and nobles" waiting outside the mansion lined up in a long line, of course, the owners of each mansion are people with heads and faces, and they will not wait in Kunhailou for so long in person, and every household has sent a clever and sensible boy with an invitation card in his hand. The master meant to wait here, but also to wait for Mr. Gu Qian to appear, personally say a few words to Mr. Gu Qian, and hand the invitation to the left envoy of Kunhai Tower

of the hands...... After all, Gu Qian's file is not difficult to check, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given Gu Qian many opportunities to show up after dividing his grandson, and everyone in the streets of Tiandu knows that this judge has a good character and is kind, and it is not difficult to speak.

"It's sure you won't say no. ”

Zhang Junling and Gu Qian sat on the opposite side of the Eight Immortals Table in the lobby, stretched out their hands to pick up the teacup, took a sip, and teased: "Lord Gu is so majestic." ”

Gu Qian held his forehead with his hand, very troubled.

At this moment, outside the door of Kunhailou's mansion, there was a crowd of people for a while, lively and noisy.

The guards in front of the door had a bitter face, these boys were all adults who couldn't be provoked, but without the permission of Lord Gu Qian, they couldn't just let them in.

So the scene was deadlocked.

"Gu Qian, if you want to be the left envoy of Kunhailou and a powerful minister, you must not be indecisive, you must make a decision immediately. Zhang Junling drank the tea, smiled and reminded kindly: "Those boys waiting at the door, the adults behind them, in my opinion, are all flies and dogs, and there is no need to make friends." ”

Gu Qian also took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The landlord is very right, but on this day, you must also have three points of popularity, otherwise the fate of Gongsun will ...... You saw it too. ”

The wall fell and everyone pushed it.

Zhang Junling raised his eyebrows disappreciatively.

"What's the big deal?" she said lightly, "Anyone dares to touch you, and I draw my sword and cut off its head." ”

Zhang Junling paused slightly, and said, "No matter how bad it is, it won't be a problem to take you out of Tiandu." ”

Gu Qian laughed, this smile made the woman in Tsing Yi inexplicably annoyed, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Qian waved his hand, tried to hold back a smile, and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." You're so cute. ”

This sentence made the woman in Tsing Yi directly extinguish the fire, her face quickly turned red, and the hand holding the tea cup became stiff, she beckoned to a close attendant at the door, lowered her voice, and said word by word: "Let those guys all get out!"

The attendant shuddered, and for some reason felt a cold murderous aura.

Gu Qian looked at this scene with a smile and felt that Zhang Junling was even cuter.

The woman in Tsing Yi said coldly: "Just say that it is the meaning of Gu Zuo's envoy!"

Gu Qian's smile also stiffened.

......

......

After the document for the expansion of Kunhai Tower was signed, the reaction in Tiandu Palace was very fast...... In fact, the crown prince had already made a move to transfer, and whether Gu Qian signed or not would not really affect the overall situation, at most it would only affect his own scope of power.

After the night's fierce tide had passed, too many pieces had fallen in the East.

These people occupy high and low positions in the court, some are just nobodies, installed in an inconspicuous position by the second prince, and some are big names in the world, holding a heavy power, but the list drawn up by the Supervision Department is too detailed, and this night is with the purpose of "rather kill by mistake than let go", so the remnants of the eastern border were uprooted overnight after three years of planning.

Completely uprooted!

Li Baijing completely lost the power to echo with the DPRK and China.

The sphere of influence of Liuli Mountain in the east has completely fallen into a lonely city, surrounded by Tiandu on all sides.

And the cold winter passed, and a spring unfolded just right.

The Spring Breeze Tea House cultivated by the prince is a talented person who is not shallow, and he can finally ascend to the stage of Tiandu after the spring season.

"Gu Zuo, I'll pass on an object for His Highness. ”

After the mansion was cleared, it didn't take long for the sound of flames burning, and the void spark ignited, outlining a portal—a messenger from the Red Breeze River, with his hands in his sleeves, as if holding something, walked out of this door.

Due to the special planning of the first emperor for the foundation of Tiandu, the iron law projected several special points in Tiandu City, with these "singularities", the envoys of the Red River can freely enter and exit the public residence of Tiandu.

The entire Heavenly Capital's array is open to them, and if there is an urgent matter or a major matter, they will teleport it on their behalf.

Gu Qian usually takes over the papers, they are all sent by the eunuchs in the palace, no matter how bad it is, it is a fast horse, this is the first time he has seen the envoy of the Red Breeze River walking around in the heavenly capital.

What objects?

Can you even get the Red River Messenger to dispatch?

I saw that the messenger took out a delicately carved wooden box from his sleeve robe and opened it in front of Gu Qian.

Inside lay three keys.

The messenger introduced them in turn and said softly: "This one is the key to the Lotus Pavilion Library, Mr. Cao Ran has a reckless personality and sometimes acts in a high-spirited manner, and the collection of books in the Lotus Pavilion is extremely important. If Mr. Cao leaves without saying goodbye one day, this key will be kept by you, and you can open the Lotus Building and enter the library to read the papers. ”

This first key shocked Gu Qian's expression.

At the palace banquet, Cao Ran succeeded to the lord of the Lotus Pavilion, although everyone in the world knew that this was a false position for Xiao Candlelong...... But he really didn't expect that the spare key to the study building would be sent to him.

"This one is the secret pavilion key of Taiqing Pavilion. ”

The envoy's words made Gu Qian's heart beat heavily.

Taiqing Pavilion...... The place where Shen Ling and Xu Jin died.

I ran desperately for many years with the pain on my back, and finally ran here.

Finally......

Gu Qian's expression was a little dazed.

"Tiandu's important archives in the past ten years, dense volumes, even if they are unfinished investigations...... It's all there. The envoy said respectfully, "Lord Gu, as you can see, these two keys are extremely rare. So I'm here for a walk. ”

The rest of the words seem to be irrelevant.

After two sounds, Gu Qian took the two keys.

Two keys, one black and one white, black carved lotus, white pure as jade, the former is the key to the Lotus Pavilion Library, and the latter is the key to the Taiqing Pavilion.

He felt that the key weighed tens of millions of catties, and the moment he took it, it was like a relief of tens of millions of catties.

Gu Qian smiled.

Laughing like a child.

Zhang Junling propped up her elbow with one hand and "looked" at this scene blankly, she had been in the world for so long, this was the first time she had seen Gu Qian so happy.

She heard Gu Qian talk about what happened five years ago.

There are no secrets in Tiandu City, but there are secrets in people's hearts.

Gu Qian cut out all the secrets in his stomach and told her, but she couldn't quite understand why Gu Qian abandoned everything to chase the two dead people...... The deceased is gone, the teacher is dead, and she accepts it calmly.

Why did Shen Ling and Xu Jin die, and Gu Qian couldn't accept it?

This has always been Zhang Junling's doubt.

She was trying to learn the emotions of the world, the thoughts, and the complex "fluctuations" of .......

Suddenly, an abrupt scene came to mind, if he woke up one day and found Gu Qian dead in the fire...... Does she feel sad?

The expression of the woman in Tsing Yi became serious.

She seemed to understand a little.
