Chapter 531: Commitment
Zhan Zhao and the others followed Ge Qing to General Ge's mansion.
Most of the people in the Gefu Mansion were resting, the old general was also sleeping, but the general's wife was not sleeping, and the old lady was sitting in the living room wearing a cloak.
Zhan Zhao and the others were very embarrassed, they were old and didn't sleep in the middle of the night to help investigate the case.
However, the old lady is really in good spirits, looking at Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, she gets close when she looks at people, so she confuses Zhanzhao Bai Yutang.
Everyone glanced at Ge Qing silently, what does that mean-your grandmother doesn't seem to have very good eyes.
Ge Qing shrugged her shoulders - so she said that my grandfather didn't believe anyone she saw.
Zhan Zhao supported his forehead, and when he came, he had great expectations, and he could only make a discount at this time.
Ge Qing asked his grandmother to go to bed quickly, and he just took Zhanzhao and them to the next thing, the old lady was quite unhappy, but then she was coaxed away by the maids.
Grandma Ge happened to have a look with Wu Yiwu when she went out, so she squinted her eyes and stared at the sick scholar, so she was going to put it on, and said, "It's so familiar......"
Long Qiaoguang quipped, "This is Mr. Gongsun." โ
"Really?" Grandma Ge tilted her head and looked at Wu Yiwu, "Why has it changed......
Wu Yiwu also stared at her for a long time, and finally smiled faintly.
Grandma Ge was stunned, and then with an "oops", she hurriedly ran out, shouting, "Old man! Old man! โ
The crowd didn't know what was going on.
Ge Qing hurriedly asked the maids to chase after him, and he didn't fall for a while.
Putting down Grandma Ge, who suddenly became excited, didn't mention it, everyone followed Ge Qing to the backyard.
Long Qiaoguang was amused by Ge Qing, "I haven't seen you for a while, but Grandma Ge is still so energetic." โ
Ge Qing also shook his head helplessly, "I was spoiled by my grandfather." โ
Wu Yiwu smiled faintly, "I have been spoiled since I was a child, and it hasn't changed in seventy or eighty years, Ge Yuan is really infatuated." โ
Wu Yiwu is talking to himself.
Ge Qing heard it and looked at him curiously, "Do you know that my grandparents are childhood sweethearts?" They have indeed known each other since childhood, and it is said that they will be determined for life at the age of โกโก. โ
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other silently--it's early......
Wu Yiwu shook his head, "If your grandmother sees it, then there is little hope, if I remember correctly, her eyes have not been good since she was a child, and she has never been able to recognize people's faces. โ
"That's right!" Ge Qing also nodded, "But since she said it, if she doesn't take you to find out, she shouldn't be able to sleep, and it will be bad if she stays up for a few nights in case she gets sick, and even if she is wrong, she should be sure to see people, maybe it's a clue." โ
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also nodded.
While they were talking, they went into the courtyard.
Long Qiaoguang had been following behind and could hear the clouds and mountains covered in fog, and when he stopped in the courtyard, Guang Ye suddenly asked Zhanzhao, "Hey, I said, how old is your little Uncle Wu?" โ
Zhan Zhao looked at him, "Hmm......"
Bai Yutang also glanced back, and said in his heart, "Are you going to be exposed?"
Zhanzhao opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Long Qiaoguang asked, "They all say that the sick scholar is seventy or eighty, is he eighty?" โ
Zhan Zhao blinked, "There is ......"
"He knows Ge Yuan?! Still known each other since childhood?! Long Qiaoguang was excited, "Ge Yuan was my idol in the military camp when he was young, but he was a little soldier carrying a flag, so I said that your little Uncle Wu is so good at studying warships and weapons!" Did he also work in my idol barracks? โ
Zhan Zhao stared at Long Qiaoguang, "uh......"
"He seems to be able to shoot arrows, isn't it my idol's subordinate?" The right general's voice was a little higher, and like that, he immediately turned on the chatter mode.
"Well......" Zhanzhao will only be able to pronounce monosyllabic words at this time, and inexplicably feels that the elated Long Qiao Guangha in front of him is pitiful, otherwise he will sue him......
"Has he seen the tattoo on my idol's hand? Can you draw or not? Long Qiaoguang continued to be excited, "Looking at him, he should be a person who can draw, right?" Do you want him to draw one for me? โ
Zhan Zhao wanted to interject, but once Long Qiaoguang's word box was opened, ordinary people couldn't close it.
At this moment, I heard Bai Yutang sigh, "This place is really good." โ
Zhan Zhao came back to his senses at this time, and looked forward with Long Qiaoguang, and saw that in the middle of the garden, there was a strange scene.
After all, General Ge is a martial artist, even if the family is rich, there are no carved beams and paintings in the mansion, and there are no pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water.
However, when I suddenly turned to this courtyard and looked up, I saw a large pool in the courtyard, and in the pool, there was a pool of lotus flowers.
It's not the height of summer at this time, and it stands to reason that the lotus flowers won't be in full bloom...... However, at this time, there are many blooms in the pool, and the variety is absolutely different from the ordinary lotus, this lotus flower leaves are thin, the petals are stained with dewdrops, and the veins are clearly visible, almost transparent...... White, close to pale blue. Some are illuminated by the moonlight, and the pool water returns, and it feels as if there are only half flowers, and the fairyland is generally a little unreal.
Two flying rainbow bridges around the flower pond span the entire pond, like two crossed rainbows...... At the junction of the two bridges, there is a tall wooden attic. The small building is built in a simple way, and everyone has never seen this style.
Bai Yutang, who is familiar with the building, has seen this kind of cornice structure before, and he has seen it in the Demon Palace.
The small building was open on all sides, with no windows or doors, and was surrounded by flower stands and many flower pots, and in the flower pots were epiphany...... It was the middle of the night, and the rare epiphany, surrounded by a faint fragrance, was in stark contrast to the quaint and even somewhat sluggish mansion.
The attic is exquisitely designed, and there are small waterwheels and troughs on the upper floor, and the water flows slowly from top to bottom, watering the epiphany in the pots, and at the same time forming a curtain wall-like water curtain.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, except for Zhanzhao.
This tower, this pond, Zhan Zhao has seen exactly the same, but it is not real, but in a scroll of paintings.
When he was a child, in Wu Yiwu's study, he saw a picture scroll, and the picture scroll was such an attic.
When Zhan Zhao looked at the picture scroll, he let Hong Jiu Niang find out, and Jiu Niang quickly hid the picture scroll and said to Zhan Zhao, "Don't let that sick bag see it, otherwise he should vomit blood again." โ
Zhanzhao asked at the time, "What is this?" โ
Jiu Niang replied, "There was one in the backyard of the house before, and it was built by a fool, this is the manuscript drawn by the fool, and then the house was burned." โ
"Is it so good for a fool to draw?" Xiao Zhanzhao was puzzled, "Why did you burn it?" How pretty, let's build another one, shall we? โ
Jiuniang touched Xiao Zhanzhao's head, sighed, and said, "There are some things, there is only one in the world, if it is gone, it is gone, even if you create another identical one, it is useless." โ
Bai Yutang was very interested in architecture, walked around the pond, and felt that the design was exquisite, so he asked Ge Qing, "Who built this?" โ
Ge Qing shook his head, "I don't know, I had it when I was born, my grandfather kept it as a baby, it is said that it was moved in its entirety, you look carefully at some places that were burned out, and later repaired, all of which were repaired by craftsmen who built the palace." โ
Bai Yutang did find that there were a lot of burnt marks on the Feihong Bridge.
"My grandparents are baby this flower stand, grandma said that it was burned down in a good way, and she and grandpa almost died in order to put out the fire." Ge Qing said, "The flowers are all taken care of by my grandmother, and they are raised as granddaughters." โ
Zhan Zhao raised his eyes to look at the flower platform, and at this time, Wu Yiwu had already walked on the Feihong Bridge and walked in the direction of the flower platform.
"My grandmother couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and would go to the flower platform to sit, and it was there that she saw people walking around the old house of the Jin family in Xishan, looking like the granddaughter-in-law of the Jin family." Ge Qing said as he looked out of the garden gate in confusion, he seemed to hear footsteps, did his grandfather get up too?
At this time, Bai Yutang saw that Wu Yiwu had already walked into the small building, stretched out his hand, and picked up something, that thing was scorched black, and it looked very long, wooden stick?
Zhanzhao also looks.
"Alas!" Ge Qing was anxious.
Zhanzhao asked him, "What's wrong?" โ
"That burnt hole flute can't be touched." Ge Qing waved his hand, "Xiao has been placed on a coffee table in the flower stand, no one is allowed to touch it, and if it moves, my grandfather will see it and chop it!" โ
Everyone raised their eyebrows - so strict?
After all, Ge Qing was a junior, and he didn't dare to be unreasonable to Wu Yiyi, so he dragged Zhanzhao, which means - you let him go, otherwise I will be scolded in a while.
Before Zhan Zhao could speak, he heard hurried footsteps at the door.
Everyone turned around, only to see Grandma Ge walking in with Ge Yuan in her arms.
The old general is in his eighties, but he is in good spirits, with gray hair, and although his face has long been surrounded by ramparts, it can be seen that he was also dignified when he was young.
"Grandpa......" Ge Qing shouted, but when he saw Ge Yuanyi raise his hand, he signaled him not to make a sound.
Grandma Ge took Ge Yuan's hand to the lotus pond, and looked up at Wu Yiwu, who was holding the black hole flute in a daze in the small building at a high place, "Look! Didn't lie to you! You still say I'm dreaming! โ
Ge Yuan looked up with his face up, opened his mouth wide and looked at Wu Yiwu on the flower platform, and the whole person was also in a sluggish state.
At this time, Wu Yiwu also turned his head and looked down......
By the lotus pond, two old men were holding hands and looking up at him stupidly.
In an instant, a sense of familiarity came over me as if it were another world......
I used to stand on the high platform, by the lotus pond, and two โกโก-year-old children held hands and looked up at him.
The little boy was the child of one of his lieutenants, always helping to carry the flag, very naughty, and full of spirit. The girl is a little maid who helps plant flowers in his family, her eyes are not very good, and she always accidentally places the wrong flowers, what is it called......
Just when Wu Yiwu couldn't remember his name, the boy Tiger shouted to him, "General, give me Lian'er, I will be good to her for the rest of my life!" โ
Wu Yiwu was stunned, and then laughed so much that he couldn't straighten his waist, at that time, there was another person beside him, that person was holding a hole flute, pointing at the little boy and making fun, "Xiao Yuanzi, you have to do it!" A long time in a lifetime! Seventy or eighty years! โ
Wu Yiwu looked down at the hole flute in his hand, and then looked at the child who had never had any teeth and became an old man and a lady whose teeth were about to fall out...... That stupid little boy kept his promise, how long has it been in his life? Seventy years, or eighty years?
Glancing at the flute in his hand again, the sick scholar smiled faintly - in fact, a lifetime is not too long, and it will pass in a blink of an eye.
โฆโฆ
Although no one spoke at this time, everyone present always felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle, and Ge Qing's grandparents seemed to know Wu Yiwu. The expressions of the two looking up at the attic with their faces upward illustrate a qiฤ...... Considering Ge Yuan's identity, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded secretly, they should be the same as Lin Xiao, time flies but the old man is still the same, and a thousand words are all in the words.
Long Qiaoguang is even more sure that his idea is right - Wu Yiyi definitely knows his idol! Hurry up and ask what the lotus tattoo looks like...... But how do you ask? Why is the atmosphere so weird?
General Right looked left and right, opened his mouth and hesitated, did he ask Ge Yuan, or Wu Yiyi?
Just as he was hesitating, Ge Yuan patted Ge Qing lightly, asked him to greet everyone, took Grandma Ge's hand, and went back to sleep satisfied.
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, what does that mean-what's the situation?
Zhan Zhao was more concerned about the black hole flute in Wu Yiwu's hand, so he touched his chin and nodded to Bai Yutang - go back and ask Jiu Niang in detail.
Ge Qing didn't know what was going on, but when he saw that everyone was stunned, he said, "Go up and wait, maybe you can see it." โ
So, everyone went up to Feihongqiao and entered the attic.
The small building is quite spacious, with a small coffee table and a few chairs, and Wu Yiwu is still holding the hole flute. Although Ge Qing was stunned for a while, he was not a fool, just now his grandparents saw Wu Yiwu holding the hole flute but didn't say anything, saying that it didn't matter if Wu Yiwu touched the things in this building, so he naturally wouldn't ask more.
Everyone looked in the direction of Xishan in the distance, and it was really quite clear that the old house of the Jin family was brightly lit at this time, and there were quite a few imperial city soldiers who were keeping vigil around.
Zhan Zhao frowned, "In this posture, the ghost shouldn't show up, right?" โ
Bai Yutang also nodded, feeling that it was not a way to wait for the rabbit like this, but if the Imperial City army was withdrawn, would the other party be fooled......
"That."
At this time, he saw Long Qiaoguang come to Wu Yixuan's side and coughed lightly, "What, have you studied the lotus?" โ
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao helplessly.
Zhan Zhao spread his hands - or who would sue him...... Who is merciful?
Wu Yiyi blinked his eyes and looked at Long Qiaoguang.
General Right pointed to the back of his hand, "Do you know anyone with a lotus tattoo on the back of his hand?" What's that, that person is ......"
Wu Yiwu nodded, with a little urgency in his eyes, "I know, you idol, you have said it more than two hundred times." โ
Zhan Zhao supports his forehead, who will pity this active general.
Bai Yutang hugged his arms and shook his head, there were indeed no less than two hundred times, and Long Qiaoguang's words really deserved his reputation.
"Uh......" General Right was just about to say something more, when he heard Ge Qing suddenly shout, "Look over there!" โ
The crowd looked in the direction of his finger...... I saw a white figure on the mountainside on the side of the West Mountain, the figure moved very fast, turned a corner after going up the mountain, went down in the direction of the mountain pass, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Everyone looked at each other - the col!
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang jumped out of the attic and chased after them, Long Qiaoguang stomped his feet, "Oh, that mountain col is deep in the middle of the night, don't get lost." โ
"There should be a familiar way in the Imperial City Army." Ge Qing reminded Long Qiaoguang to go to the house to find Cao Lan, who was on duty tonight, and prepared to find a few guides and take people into the mountains to search.
Ge Qing was thinking about whether to go with him to have a look, but when he turned around, he found that there was no one around...... Wu Yiyi disappeared in a flash.
Xiao Geqing crossed his arms and thought about it on the flower platform...... Catching thieves is a matter of Kaifeng Mansion, he is a big internal guard, not in charge of this, and besides, he will get up early tomorrow to send Zhao Lan's unruly princess to Taixue, and Zhao Lan will have to mix in Taixue for a day in class. Thinking of this, Ge Qing turned around and went back to his room to sleep! In the middle of the night, he didn't go to the mountains to catch ghosts, and he would go to Taixue tomorrow to raise his spirit, and maybe he would be able to listen to Tianzun's lectures!
