Chapter 350
In the guest room on the top floor of the Imperial Capital Hongyi Restaurant, Gu Changge pushed the door in, and a room of people immediately looked over.
The first to greet Wang Xin was Wang Xin, who came against the light, and his eyes melted into the soft sunlight, adding a bit of easy-going closeness to his always bright temperament, and said with a smile: "Ah Ye." ”
Although they are all trustworthy people in the Phoenix League, except for him, no one else knows Gu Changge's true identity, and when Wang Xin said it, he temporarily changed his words.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Then Astragalus smiled and came over, "The young master is back, but we've been waiting for you for a long time, aren't we, Xiangling?"
As he spoke, he smiled and gave Xiangling a look.
Xiangling glanced at the astragalus, but his face was also soft, and he nodded at Gu Changge.
Gu Changge had long been accustomed to the interaction between Xiangling and Astragalus full of love, and he only raised his eyebrows lightly, and walked in the direction of Wang Xin, Wang Xin took a step away, so that Gu Changge could see the other people in the room clearly.
No wonder, Yan Xiao and Qin Zhiyan have always been the kind of taciturn temperament, sitting firmly on the stool in the corner, only giving Gu Changge a faint look, which can be regarded as a hello.
After these two people, there was Tang Elegy, the palace master of the Bang Shang Palace, who had obviously squinted and pretended to be casual, but sat upright and did not say a word, and Ye Qingrong, who was sitting just right next to her.
Ye Qingrong has always had a good grasp of the distance between him and Tang Elegy - only a distance of reaching out, close but not intimate, and it will never make people feel oppressed.
Gu Changge was stunned for a moment - due to all kinds of delays and misses, this was the first time she had seen Ye Qingrong again since she was reborn.
The man sitting by the window, plain clothes like snow, picturesque eyebrows, and his facial features may not be very brilliant when viewed separately, but they feel comfortable at a glance.
It is comfortable, it is the soft and unsightly sunshine in spring, the refreshing and clean sky that seems to be washed by clear water in summer, or the autumn sun is sleepy, an autumn breeze with a fruity fragrance blows on the face, and there is a first snow in winter, a crystal color leads people to recourse.
The corners of his smiling lips were hooked on his slightly side face, but he looked gentle and detached, like a beautiful and euphemistic magnolia, blooming on the bank of the clear stream sprinkled with green shade, and the transparent sunlight curled down from among the willow leaves, reflecting the leaves were also clear and flawless.
At this time, his gaze moved away from the face of the gorgeous woman next to him, and finally turned his face, his lips were lighter than ordinary people, and when he hooked his lips and smiled, he was like a captivating landscape after the air was empty, simple and noble, soft but also indifferent.
"Young master. His voice was also clear and gentle, and he bowed slightly, "Below is the director of the Intelligence Department of the Phoenix Alliance, Ye Qingrong." ”
Stunned for a moment, Gu Changge quickly came back to his senses and reported his identity with a smile: "Gu Ye." ”
"Hmm. Ye Qingrong's eyes were light, but the original alienation was also a little lighter, "Young Master Gu has heard of the scenery in the past few months, and he has admired it for a long time. ”
"Hey, it's all a family, what do you mean by saying these polite words?" Huang Qi smiled and leaned over, and then dragged several people to sit down around the big round table in the center of the room, "Come on, come on, let's talk about the old days, and say hello to each other, now let's talk about some business." ”
But when he wanted to reach out to pull Tang Elegy, Ye Qingrong smiled and grabbed his hand to stop the action, "I'll come." ”
Huang Qi smiled a little embarrassedly and touched his nose, "Forget it, forget it, I haven't seen Qingrong stay by the palace master's side for a long time, and I almost forgot the rules of these two people, blame me, blame me!"
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows ambiguously at Ye Qingrong, with an expression of "tacitly, I understand, I understand".
Ye Qingrong smiled openly, and turned to Tang Elegy, who was looking out of the window, and shouted softly: "Elegy?"
Tang Elegy first glared coldly at the astragalus that didn't go away and stayed to watch the excitement, his eyes glanced at the slender and pure hand that was gently placed on his waist, ignored it, and got up expressionlessly: "I'm not a cripple." "The implication is that I don't need your help.
Everyone present was too familiar with this scene, and it was not surprising, Ye Qingrong's face did not change, he calmly withdrew his hand, and followed behind Tang Elegy with a light smile on his lips, and then sat down next to her.
Seeing that everyone was in place, Gu Changge first talked about his experience in Nanjiang Qimen in general, there was not too much danger, but there were still key points to say.
For example, the elusive black-robed man.
After Gu Changge finished speaking, except for Yan Xiao, who arrived in Nanfan together, the rest of the people were silent and thoughtful, and even Astragalus, who was usually giggling, also showed a little deep face.
Wang Xin pondered for a while and said, "I think this black-robed man should have nothing to do with the Gong family." ”
Everyone looked up at him, their expressions a little complicated.
"I'm not excusing the Gong family, I'm just talking about things. He sighed helplessly, "In my opinion, the whereabouts of this black-robed man are secretive, and it will be difficult to find any clues for a while, so it is better to rule out a few suspicious possibilities first, and it is better to have a bit of a leader." ”
"Hmm. Ah Xin's words are indeed reasonable. Xiangling nodded and said, "You go on, we'll all listen." ”
Wang Xin did not take Qiao in the face of everyone's doubts and later bowed his head, and continued to analyze: "Since Ah Ye left the imperial capital, I have been focusing most of my energy on the palace family, it can be said that the Prime Minister's Mansion, whether it is an overt action or a secret action, cannot escape the eyes of those people I arranged, including after the International Chamber of Commerce dealt a blow to the Gong family's business, Yang Chengyi, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, got a large amount of silver taels from nowhere. ”
After speaking, he paused for a moment, turned his head and said to Xiangling and Astragalus seriously: "This is also something I want to remind the two of you, the Gong family is going to fight back, you are careful in everything, don't expose it, and protect yourself." ”
Xiangling's eyes narrowed slightly, the essence in his eyes flashed, and in a blink of an eye, he was replaced by a deep one, glanced at each other with ascugalus, and then said to Wang Xin: "Well, we will pay attention, Ah Xin continue." ”
"It's good that you know it in your heart, I can't help you with too much help in this aspect of business, so I can only keep an eye on the internal news of the Gong family. Wang Xin said, "This can be regarded as a recent big move by the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gong Hua and Gong Qiao's family have been busy for their youngest son, and they don't have the heart or energy to control the situation in Nanjiang from such a distance, besides, they don't have this ability, so the rest of the Gong family doesn't have this ability." ”
"Definitely. Huang Qi frowned and said, "Listening to the meaning of the young master's words, the black-robed man was obviously going towards her and the Phoenix League, and now there are few people who can know the relationship between the young master and the Phoenix League." Unless..."
"Unless, there is a spy in the Phoenix League. Gu Changge answered, "Or, you also missed a person from the palace family, the current queen, the palace moonrise." ”
The words fell, everyone was silent, Gu Changge's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked at a few people who were obviously abnormal.
Astragalus was the first to react, "Yes, it's a spy." ”
"Actually, I suspected a long time ago that there were conspirators within the Phoenix Alliance. Xiangling followed and spoke, his tone as calm as usual, "Otherwise, why was it so coincidental three years ago-" Halfway through his words, he shut up.
Gu Changge tapped his fingertips on the table, his bright eyes narrowed slightly with a sly smile: "What are you hiding from me?"
If she hadn't learned from the Seven Gates that the Phoenix Alliance had suffered and even almost collapsed three years ago, she would have been kept in the dark until now.
Gu Changge raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiangling.
Xiangling had just said carelessly, and now he was introspecting tightly, don't expect him to speak again, so he turned his face away from Gu Changge's scrutinizing gaze.
The astragalus monkey cleverly lowered its head before Gu Changge looked over.
Gu Changge didn't care much about it originally, but now he felt strange when he saw their abnormal reactions, could it be that there was something indescribable in this that was inconvenient to say?
"Ah Xin, let's talk about it. Gu Changge didn't have any thoughts about other people, and directly asked his most honest "younger brother".
Wang Xin, who has always been clear and calm, also hesitated, and it took a long time before he slowly spoke: "We have also investigated the heavy damage suffered by the Phoenix League back then, and we only got clues not long ago..."
After a pause in his tone, he raised his eyes and stared deeply at Gu Changge for a long time, and then turned his head and said, "I can vaguely glimpse the shadow of Baili Rongchen." ”
The faint smile on the corner of Gu Changge's mouth finally disappeared, she was silent for a long time, but her dim eyes gradually brightened, and in the flickering of crystal light, she hooked her lips again, but she couldn't pull out a decent smile in the end, so she simply gave up and said coldly: "Impossible." ”
If she hadn't heard what Baili Rongchen said to her in the imperial study today, she might have doubted it, but as long as Baili Rongchen told her about her experience back then, she would believe him.
This is not a blind trust derived from a blind love, but a heartfelt belief that this man she has admired for more than ten years will not be eroded by power and love beyond recognition.
Proud as he is, he doesn't care about relying on lies to win over a believer, not to mention, her eyes are deep but clear when she sees him today, there is no reason that a person full of lies and scheming will have eyes that are as clear as the sky and clear water.
Her trust is based on her understanding of each other and the experiences she has had together, but others may not agree with her.
"Young master, why are you still here to defend that dog emperor, isn't it enough for him to harm your sister and the Phoenix Alliance?" The hatred between Huang Qi's eyebrows was not concealed at all, "Isn't that palace moonrise evidence of his betrayal?"
Previously, they had been deliberately avoiding the topic of Gong Yue's rise in secrecy, but now they brought it up themselves, which obviously brought up the anger of the public, and even Ye Qingrong, who had always been good-tempered, was cold.
"Are you too unconfident in yourself or are you overestimating the power of the royal family. Gu Changge said with an expressionless face, "Just a Northern Qi royal family or even the palace family is not enough to let my Phoenix Alliance do my best to track it down, and I can't get this news until the past three years." ”
The crowd looked at her disapprovingly, obviously not being persuaded by Gu Changge's words.
"And, as far as I know, the Gu family and the Huang League had an accident together three years ago, right?" Gu Changge sighed, "The Gong family and the royal family have almost mobilized all their forces, how can they still have the energy to ambush the Phoenix League again, and do you really think they can know the relationship between the Phoenix League and the Gu family? If not, why did they provoke another big force again? Could it be that they are idle and have nothing to do to find abuse?"
At this time, even Tang Elegy couldn't listen to it, and said with a sarcastic smile: "The palace family and the old emperor are busy dealing with the Gu family, aren't there still Baili Rongchen? Can you be sure that Baili Rongchen doesn't know about you and the Phoenix League? Even if you don't know, you still won't notice it? According to the principle that the royal family would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, the suffering of the Phoenix League is inevitable." ”
Gu Changge's words were sluggish. Back then, she didn't deliberately hide her relationship with Baili Rongchen from Huangmeng, and she also knew that Baili Rongchen had already noticed it in her heart, but neither of them brought the matter to the fore, so Gu Changge couldn't be sure which step Baili Rongchen guessed.
She was about to explain to them Baili Rongchen's absence three years ago, but she didn't expect Yan Xiao, who had been sitting quietly, to speak coldly.
"It won't be him. ”
The people in the Phoenix League had long had a lot of complaints about Yan Xiao, who was originally a member of Baili Rongchen's subordinate Yan Jiawei, and when he heard him say this, the originally suppressed anger instantly found the object of venting.
"What is your position on saying this, or in what capacity do you use to clarify the innocence of the Dog Emperor with us?"
In a fit of rage, even Xiangling shouted out the title of Dog Emperor, which has always been liked by astragalus.
"Listen to him. Gu Changge intuitively felt that what Yan Xiao was going to say was a secret that even she didn't know.
Yan Xiao pondered for a long time and slowly spoke: "At that time three years ago, the emperor disappeared for a while. ”
"Doesn't that mean he's looking for an opportunity to make a move?" said Astragalus sneered.
Gu Changge was silent, thinking that this period of disappearing time must be the chase that Baili Rongchen said.
Yan Xiao ignored no one, and continued to take care of himself: "Yan Jiawei has been looking for a long time but has not been able to find it, but the emperor has reappeared by himself after the fall of the Gu family, and there is also Gong Yuesheng who appeared together. ”
Everyone could sense the full affection between the two, but the emperor hadn't asked anything about the Gu family. Our Yan Jiawei naturally felt weird, at first he tried to ask the emperor about his attitude and thoughts but it didn't work, and then he directly asked him about him and Changge, only to find out that something was wrong. ”
He slowly clenched his fists, but his voice did not fluctuate at all, "We have investigated for a long time based on the emperor's unusual performance, and finally found the truth in the royal collection. ”
Gu Changge's breathing was tight.
"Your Majesty, he was used by the palace family to inherit the love devouring spell for thousands of years. The blood of three hundred pairs of lovers plus the blood of one person's heart, supplemented by forbidden medicine, is soaked in three times, and after three times, the person who has been cursed can forget his old love and fall in love with the person who is relieved of the blood. The palace family used this method to completely control the emperor with a palace moonrise. ”
Hearing this, everyone's hearts exploded with a bang.
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Gu Changge's heart was swollen and painful, and he couldn't tell what it felt.
Yan Xiao's lips opened and closed, and it took a while for a while to spit out a sentence: "It was my negligence." ”
