It looks like a very ordinary house, but there is a hole in the inside, the winding path is secluded, the corridor waist is back, all kinds of precious flowers and trees cover the carved beams and painted buildings, and the eaves are high, just like the realm of the gods.

The servants and men I saw all the way were all well-dressed and decent, and they did not squint at their duties, and the water was murmuring around them, and the birds were pleasant, but they could not hear the noise of human voices.

Guangsheng followed the black-clothed man who led the way silently, and couldn't help rubbing the chic famous thorn in his hand. Wide like a paper book, paulownia wood polished smooth without leaving hands, carved on a big "Ji".

This famous thorn is taken out, and few people in the world are willing to accept it, just because it means the most terrifying dark power under the imperial power - the leader of the Jinyi Guard, the commander of Ji Gang.

Guangsheng didn't know what was going on with a big man like Lu Dao looking for him, and since he had already come, he didn't want to think about it anymore, so he walked through the many pavilions and came to an empty and old courtyard in the north.

It was nearly dusk, the last pale golden twilight shone on the crack and blackened threshold, the green tiles of the eaves revealed the ancient seal pattern of "Fu Lu Suxi", the green bricks on the ground were stepped on smoothly like a mirror, and the copper ring on the black lacquer door had been soaked by the years to the essence of light. Entering the door is a wide and open flower garden, but it is not like the outside of the courtyard, full of rare flowers, but planted some small peach trees and plum trees at will, and there are small pumpkins, golden bells, etc., which are colorful and full of pastoral interest.

There is a wooden table in the open space in the center of the flower garden on both sides, and the coarse porcelain bowl holds four vegetables and one soup, green vegetables, red pork ribs in sauce, golden pumpkin slices and mullet soup, accompanied by crystal white rice, which attracts people's mouthwater.

Among the fruits and vegetables, there was a figure in a coarse cloth short coat who was busy, and he didn't look back when he heard the footsteps, but said lightly: "Are you here?" ”

The man in black bowed deeply and turned to leave, leaving Guangsheng stunned at the table full of dishes.

"Eat."

A plain command, as if to his own children and nephews.

Guangsheng didn't think about it, and sat down on the golden knife horse - he hadn't eaten anything decent for a day, and he was just hungry, so he simply started eating like a whirlwind.

Most of the four dishes and one soup on the table were eaten, and he added another bowl of rice, so he put down the bowl with satisfaction and wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief.

"You look good, but you eat like a starving ghost reincarnated."

The man finally walked out of the flower path, short clothes and cloth shoes, with a relaxed attitude, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes with a smile - although he was dressed simply, there was a faint bookish air between his demeanor.

Guangsheng stared at him, suddenly solemnly clenched his fists, and saluted on one knee, "Subordinates, see the commander." “

Ji Gang raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and smiled in a good mood, "There are no adults and subordinates here, only farmers and boys who eat rice." ”

As soon as he helped him with one hand, Guangsheng felt an irresistible force to help him up, and he was secretly surprised in his heart - he had long heard that Master Ji Gang was born as a literati, but he didn't expect his kung fu to be so pure.

This well-known commander, Master Ji Gang, was originally a scholar with a great future, but he became a "living being" in his early twenties. Emperor Taizu Hongwu had not held the imperial examination for more than ten years, and the so-called "Zhusheng" was already regarded as a Confucian scholar with profound knowledge.

As a young talent who read poetry and books, Ji Gang resolutely defected to Zhu Di, the king of Yan who was still rebellious at the time, and stubbornly stopped in front of his horse to join the Jingnan army.

Ji Gang saw Guangsheng looking at him in a daze, and said with a slight smile: "That day, I saw that you were in danger and broke the gunpowder mechanism, but when I saw it today, it was not as vigorous and resolute as that day." ”

He motioned for Guangsheng to sit down, and he sat casually on the bamboo chair next to him, squinting, quietly watching the gradually fading skylight.

"What did you call you for?"

"It's because his subordinates have caused a big disaster and run away from home."

Guangsheng's demeanor was calm and calm, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

In this Nanjing city, from the emperor to which lady he is happy with, down to which sesame petty official complained about the hot and cold weather, as long as the person in front of him is willing, he can know everything about it.

Ji Gang paused, and his smile deepened, "This is your housework, and outsiders shouldn't take care of it - I called you here because you were restrained and lost the face of our Jinyiwei." ”

The last few words were spit out coldly, and the smile on his face turned into cold and demonic, "What evidence did you actually tell your mothers and brothers - what a joke, our Jinyi Guard's people are out, don't you fake without evidence?" What kind of crime can be deducted from other people's heads, who can refute it, and who dares to refute it?! Jin Yiwei did your job, she was simply an angry little daughter-in-law - others saw it, and thought that my Ji Gang's subordinates were all soft persimmons! ”

These words are full of evil spirit and arrogance, and if those gossip officials listen to it, they are afraid that they will be so angry that they will bleed.

But on the contrary, the person who said this was Ji Gang - he seemed to have a strange magic that made even the most arrogant words and deeds a matter of course.

Guangsheng was excited by him, and the blue tendons on his forehead jumped, but his expression remained the same, "Command makes your lord high...... However, I belong to the shadows—we are your eyes and ears, your other hands hidden in the shadows. If I act rashly and spoil the major affairs of Jinyiwei, then there will be no redemption. ”

Ji Gang's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he glanced at him with a smile, "You are very good at talking." ”

"The subordinates are naked, and they can be seen every day."

"You're very tolerant too."

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan."

"Conspiracy?"

Ji Gang suddenly sneered, "You are a small banner, what big plan can you have?" ”

Forced to this point between words, Guangsheng's eyes flashed, but he raised his eyes to meet him without fear, "The great plan of the humble position is what you think in your heart...... That is: the cunning rabbit is cooked by the hound, and the high bird is hidden by the good bow. ”

"Presumptuous!"

Ji Gang suddenly became furious, and his face turned extremely pale because of this anger, "You are slandering the Holy Lord!" ”

"Fans are a favorite thing for beautiful girls, but they become useless in the fall...... The world has been peaceful for a long time, and the detective and arrest duties of our Jinyi Guard are becoming more and more obstructive in the eyes of the Holy Lord and your lords—even if you are his trusted minister, you will not be an exception. ”

Ji Gang stared at him for a long time before he let out an extremely happy laugh-

"Good, good! Your father Shen Yuan seems to be square, but he is extremely smooth on the inside, but you are completely different from him, and your words and actions are very much in line with my appetite. ”

Without waiting for Guangsheng to answer, he resolutely ordered: "The matter of your Jining Marquis Mansion is not big but the most bad, you don't have to go back, I have another mission to hand it over to you." ”

Raising his eyes to look at Guangsheng, his phoenix eyes flowed, quiet and majestic, but there was another kind of ambition blazing light-

"It's an opportunity you can't imagine – it can change the fate of countless people, and it can also take you to the top of glory and wealth...... Of course, if you are not careful, you will also be crushed - are you willing to accept it? ”

Facing his shining eyes, Guangsheng froze for a moment.

I don't know how long it took, the night had completely fallen, and there was no light in the courtyard, but he felt an invisible flame burning in his chest, and the sound of the wind was surging in his ears, and he clearly heard himself answer—

"Yes."

"Okay, I really didn't see the wrong person!"

Ji Gang smiled freely, and raised his voice to order the people waiting outside the courtyard, "Prepare a military registration for him in the Beijing camp." ”

"Next, I will slowly tell you how to do all this......"

His laughter was quite cheerful and lighthearted, but somehow it was tinged with a layer of twilight desolation.

****

"What? Are they in Beijing?! ”

Under the lingering night, the Jinlan Secret Meeting was still held in the Lanxiang Pavilion of Wanhualou.

When Xiao Gu heard this, he couldn't help but ask.

She felt her hands tremble slightly.

"After many years, are they still alive?"

Her voice choked, as if she was asking her eldest brother, and as if she was muttering to herself.
