An Rongzhou patted the seat on his side, "Sit, sit down and talk." He also handed the wine gourd over, "Take a sip." ”

Zhou Boyan didn't sit down, let go of the reins of the black horse and looked at the willow forest, "What kind of wine do you drink on a hot day?" Covered in stinky sweat and the smell of alcohol, he was not far from the beggars on the side of the road. ”

An Rongzhou took back the wine gourd handed out, "Don't hurt me, you're uncomfortable, aren't you!" ”

"Not really." He replied with a serious book.

"Okay, you win. Let me ask you, did you receive any news about the attack on the ancient mansion in advance? ”

"Nope."

"No, will you let Gu Xiaoliu secretly transfer troops? Do you know that you have stabbed a hornet's nest? ”

"What's wrong?" Zhou Boyan turned his face, lifted the corners of his robe, and sat on the stone chair.

"You dare to kill the queen's people. You kid, you kid...... I really don't know what to say about you! ”

"When did I move the Queen's people?" Zhou Boyan frowned and asked.

"You kid, you don't admit it yet. I have confirmed that the person behind the dead soldiers who attacked the ancient mansion is the queen's seventh sister, that is, Zhong Li. An Rongzhou said angrily and took a sip of wine.

"Zhong Li? Haven't heard of it. "He really hadn't heard the name, and it wasn't a lie. As he spoke, he had already snatched the wine gourd in An Rongzhou's hand and put it aside.

An Rongzhou didn't go to grab it back, but just shrugged his shoulders and said, "About four years ago, the queen asked the queen mother to be the master and bring her seventh sister Zhong Li into the palace, and directly seal the concubine and seal the concubine. However, in half a year, there were rumors in the palace that Concubine Li and Concubine Xiao Guifei did not agree. Later, I don't know what happened, Concubine Li was convicted and sent to the cold palace. Soon after, the concubine hanged herself in the cold palace. After more than three years, the concubine who hanged herself appeared here with the queen's dead soldiers. Brother, what kind of hornet's nest did you poke? He raised the dead. ”

Zhou Boyan was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't forget to tease. "Big brother, do you know a lot of Mi Xin in the palace? Especially when it comes to women. ”

An Rongzhou coughed embarrassedly, "Be serious, don't divert the topic." ”

"I'm being serious, too. How did Big Brother recognize Zhong Li? Could it be that the eldest brother and Zhong Li are very acquainted? If she is not familiar, how will the eldest brother know about her past? How did the eldest brother recognize a dead man? ”

"It's a long story to say why, so don't mention it." Obvious prevarication.

"The eldest brother really lives up to the name of the first and most beautiful young man in the capital. I don't know how many talented women and beauties have been included in the eldest brother's "Qunfang Spectrum" so far? ”

An Rongzhou looked at him vigilantly, "That's the eldest brother's baby, you don't have to worry about it." Then thinking of Zhou Boyan's temperament, he immediately reacted, "Hey, hey, don't change the topic." Big brother tells you that the matter is not over yet. In the next five or six days, Zhongli will make a comeback. You see, the eldest brother has given you such useful information, and you must also reveal some news to the eldest brother. Where did the ancient mansion offend the queen? ”

"In exchange, the eldest brother wants to sue me, why did you destroy the original of the "Zhou Su Codex"?" As for Mrs. Lai, the two brothers have not had time to discuss it in detail. Therefore, he only knew that things were settled, and some of them were not known. For example, Mrs. Li has such a fateful copy of the "Zhou Su Codex" in her hand. He wasn't sure if the eldest brother, who had personally handled Mrs. Lai's case, had seen the contents of the Codex.

An Rongzhou was surprised, "She didn't sue you?" He himself didn't believe in any prophecy at all. Therefore, the prophecy made in the handbook was only a fart, and it was not taken to heart at all. However, he also understands that the prophecy that is bullshit in his eyes is different in the eyes of some others. The Codex had been intercepted by him without his knowledge, and he thought about throwing it away. But after seeing Gu Qingshu's name, he dispelled his mind, took it with him, and then handed it over to Gu Qingshu himself to deal with.

Zhou Boyan was taken aback, "She? You're saying she knows about the Codex? ”

"Not only the original, but even the two copies of the transcription were destroyed. She and I went to one place, just a broken book, and if it was destroyed, it would be done once and for all. ”

"Are you sure it's all ruined?"

"Did you give it for nothing when you were the eldest brother? Originally, there were three transcriptions, and there were no corners left, all of which were dust. Naturally, the ash can't be careless, and the eldest brother watered it and turned it into mud. For the sake of his brother's happiness, he interrogated Mrs. Li alone afterwards, and determined that there were indeed only these three copies of the Codex, and nothing else. Of course, he also interrogated who Li Haitang had given a hand-to-hand codex transcription to. Now that Gu Qingshu's name has been erased, and only this handwritten codex transcription is left in the world, what he has to do next is much simpler for him.

"That being the case, there is no reason for the queen to intervene. What the hell is going on? Zhou Boyan was sure that this matter had nothing to do with the Queen Mother, but he never expected that the Queen would get involved. His brother-in-law's behavior makes people feel very out of tune, but in fact, his brother-in-law's ability to collect and analyze intelligence is quite outstanding. Furthermore, if he is not completely sure, the righteous brother will not sue him for this. It was not for prophecy, why did the queen do something to the ancient mansion? The queen didn't know Hao's true identity at all, and even if she knew, Hao didn't have any conflict of interest with her and her princes, and she had no reason to ask for Hao's life.

An Rongzhou was taken aback at this time, "You mean, you originally guarded against someone else, not the queen?" ”

"Yes."

"Who are you guarding against?"

"Big brother, this is a tacit matter between me and my uncle. Uncle doesn't want too many people to know why, so don't be too careful. You can report the fact that the Night Raider is a bellli, but don't mention that I already know about it. ”

He said it so clearly, where would An Rongzhou continue to ask without knowing the severity. "That being the case, the eldest brother doesn't bother anymore. When you need it, just tell your eldest brother, and your eldest brother will take care of you. ”

"Okay."

"Go back, eldest brother has to go to Jinyang City to do something, and come back to you for a drink."

Zhou Boyan nodded, then said take care, walked over and took the reins of the black horse, turned over and got on the horse, and walked in the direction of his subordinates who were sitting or standing in the shade of the tree in front of him.

The master returned, and the guards immediately mounted their horses.

"Stones, some jerky, give them to the eldest prince." He couldn't see that his righteous brother didn't even prepare anything to drink, so he drank dryly.

Gu Shishi got the order, turned out half a bag of dried meat, and sent it to An Rongzhou's hands.

After that, Zhou Boyan and his party continued to hurry.

After entering the town, when passing by the flavor snack shop, Gu Shishi asked with a smirk, "Childe is hungry!" Would you like to go in and get something to eat? Here is the most suitable food to eat in summer, cool skin. ”

Zhou Boyan naturally knew that this was Gu Shi's mouth. He didn't break it, nor did he scold Gu Shishi, but just said to the brocade-clothed guards, "Get off the horse, and go back after eating here." "It's past lunch time, and when I go back to the ancient mansion, the kitchen has to be ready, so it's not as convenient as eating here.

There were no more customers in the shop, and Wu Xiaoshan and the other two young men were picking up the tables and chairs in the hall. Seeing Zhou Boyan coming, Wu Xiaoshan took the other two young men to greet him with a smile.

Gu Shixiao's mouth was about to grin to the root of his ears, he squeezed Wu Xiaoshan away, and wiped a clean chair with his sleeve a few times, "Childe, please, Childe." ”

Zhou Boyan didn't say anything about entering the Accord, and naturally sat in the hall.

"Xiaoshan, hurry up and put on the cold skin, each person has a bowl of cold skin, be fast." Gu Shishi said this, and pushed Wu Xiaoshan, urging Wu Xiaoshan to move faster. As soon as he turned his face, he pointed to the "Today's Menu Plate" hanging on the wall: "Childe, look, what else do you want to order?" ”

The relationship between the hot weather and the hurry, Zhou Boyan actually has no appetite, so he doesn't mean to order, "Cool skin is enough." Any of you who want to eat anything, order it yourself. ”

The young man neatly served everyone hot tea, warm boiling water, and freshly dug well water. Zhou Boyan drank a bowl of hot tea, and the others drank freshly dug well water.

Then, the cool skin is served. One after another, Gu Yuanhe personally asked the kitchen to prepare two cold dishes were served, followed by the signature stir-fry in the six-plate shop ordered by Gu Shishi for everyone, and finally the bean paste buns and white flour steamed buns.

When the guy who served the staple food was about to retreat, Gu Shishi hurriedly stopped, "Liangpi, thirteen more bowls." "They are all big men with knives and guns, and they are very hungry, so the amount of food is naturally not too bad. I can't eat hot dishes, but this cold skin is refreshing, and it is not a problem to eat two or three bowls for one person.

The young man agreed, shouting "Thirteen Bowls of Liangpi" in his mouth, and asked the kitchen to prepare it quickly.

When Gu Shi was eating, other guests came to the shop.

The man at the head is about 20 years old, medium height, not fat or thin, and his hand is painted with a beautiful folding fan. He wore a azure scholar's scarf, a scholar's robe of the same color, and a pair of purple luxurious shoes. Looking at his appearance again, the whole person with a pale face looks too feminine, and his eyes are very small, and he is still a little squinted when he looks at people.

He was followed by two scholars, one fat and one thin, who were about the same age as him. The difference between the same scholar's square scarf and the same scholar's robe is the folding fan in the hand and the shoes on the feet.

The fat one not only has a round face, but also looks very round. At this moment, he was sweating profusely, and he was violently shaking the folding fan painted with mountain stones. The shoes on his feet were of the same color and texture as the scholar's robe, and they should have been made of good silk. His eyebrows, nose and mouth are very ordinary, not ugly or outstanding, but he gives people a very kind feeling.

The thin one, the thin one, is still very tall. In this way, it makes people feel that his body is too thin. He shook a folding fan with flowers and birds, and wore the same shoes as a fat man. From the moment he entered the door, he did not look at people head-on, but secretly observed Zhou Boyan and others who were sitting around three tables to eat together.

The guy greeted him with a smile and greeted him warmly.

The man at the head didn't look at the man, and spoke arrogantly, "Where is the shopkeeper?" If you don't greet your guests in person, you don't want to do business, do you? ”

When you open a shop, you can meet all kinds of guests, such as picky guests, guests who put on scores, guests who try their best to take advantage, guests who deliberately make things difficult, etc.

The guy was still smiling passionately and sincerely.

And Gu Yuanhe had already come out from behind the counter. He had a smile on his face, but he was not flattering, but his words were in place, "Please, please." Looking at the dress of the three, they must be students of Songhe Academy, the first academy in Huizhou. I heard people talk about it, and the students who can enter Songhe Academy to study are either talented people or the most outstanding nobles in Huizhou. I was fortunate enough to entertain the three noble sons of Songhe Academy, and the shopkeeper would wake up smiling when he slept at night. Please, please go inside. ”

The man's eyes narrowed even more, and his nostrils turned to the sky and said, "You have vision." This is comfortable to listen to, satisfied in my heart, and relatively speaking, there is less "I want to find fault" in the tone.

"The guys in the shop have never seen the world, and they are very clumsy, and they don't recognize that the three sons are wearing the student uniforms of Songhe Academy, so they snub you. The shopkeeper will definitely punish them, and the three sons should not be like him. Please, this is Accord, and I hope the three sons can appreciate their faces. ”

At this time, one of the four servants behind the three of them spoke, "Young Master, how can this place be compared to Yipinlou!" The small one thinks that this shop does not look like an industry under the name of Yipinlou at all. Look here, the little ones think that those rumors are the result of hearsay, not the truth. ”

The thin man said, "It's easy to do, whether it's hearsay or not, just try it." ”

The fat man asked, "How do you try?" ”

The thin man looked at the man in charge, and when he saw that the other party nodded, he looked at Gu Yuanhe and asked, "Can you sell cold skins here?" ”

Gu Yuanhe replied carefully, "Go back to this son, sell." ”

The thin man listened and nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's serve three bowls first and taste the taste." ”

Gu Yuanhe hurriedly replied, "I'm sorry, this son, today's cool skin business is exceptionally good, and there are only two bowls left." You see......"

"What? Have the guts to say it again. Neglect this son, don't think about opening this shop again. The leader changed his face at that time, interrupted Gu Yuanhe's explanation, and threatened.
