Chapter Ninety-Three: The Judge
In the heavy rain, Gongsun was wearing a big red robe, carrying his hands behind his back, looking at the man holding the umbrella in Tsing Yi, nodding slightly, and said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, you have worked hard. β
The man holding the umbrella in Tsing Yi nodded without fluctuation, which was regarded as a return gift.
Drove away the law enforcer of the Second Division on the roof, Gongsun Yixing Yanshan, and said to Gu Qian: "I'll go back and rest, you give him a ride, send him to the palace, Yuping Pavilion, don't let this adult walk through the wall again, it's easy to cause criticism." β
Gu Qian slandered in his heart, he was really sleepy, and he thought that he would be able to go back to sleep, but he didn't expect Gongsun to be lazy and give himself the job.
In the past, this kind of major event didn't drive itself away, but now he shouted for the first time that Gongsun was idle, just take it, no matter how it was sent.
Thinking about it, Gu Qian held an umbrella with one hand, adjusted the position of the book, clamped it under his armpit, and rubbed his eyes with the other hand, sweeping the tiredness on his cheeks, "Okay, got it." It's over when you send it to Yuping Pavilion?"
Gongsun said softly: "His Highness is waiting for him." β
Gu Qian's expression froze.
He looked at Gongsun, the hideous face under the black veil loomed, his eyes were as calm as a clear lake, and his words as soft as the spring breeze in March were just right, and he said, "Your Highness may want to invite this person to drink tea, play chess, and lack a chess score, so let you bring your books...... If you're really sleepy, you can go back and rest. β
Gu Qian comprehended, coughed, and said, "My subordinates have never been like this...... Spirit. β
God knows how happy this hint made Gu Qian happier.
Sweep away fatigue.
I even want to do a somersault in this rain.
In the eyes of the temple officials, Gongsun Yue is deeply valued by His Royal Highness's side, but in fact this is not the case, if he really gets the holy favor, Gongsun will not do all the "burning things", His Royal Highness the Prince threw all the dirty work to Gongsun Yue.
All that is taken is the work of sinning people.
There is only the work of offending people.
Tonight is an exception, a big exception...... The crown prince summoned the "stranger", the identity is unknown, the origin is unknown, all the adults of the three divisions and six departments do not know, only the grandson knows in advance, and is responsible for picking it up, and the other major divisions only have an edict of unknown origin, and all they can do is guess.
The prince drank tea and played chess, looking for civil officials, and Gongsun asked him to give the "umbrella bearer" a ride...... Presumably also got a reminder from His Highness.
Gu Qian took a deep breath, realized something deeper, and said, "Aren't you going to go with you?"
Gongsun shook his head and said indifferently: "The prince plays chess, and there are not too many people watching." You go over, and that's enough. β
After speaking.
The man in the big red robe stretched out a hand, pressed Gu Qian's shoulder, and left a word in the young man's ear as he relayed into the carriage.
"I believe in you. Never be suspicious. β
Gu Qian stood alone in the rain, half of his eyebrows raised, half of his eyebrows pressed down, his expression was a little strange and complicated, chewing Gongsun's words alone...... The sound of clattering horses' hooves sounded, and the carriage behind them had already set off and was drifting away.
The car carrying two people set off together, and when he went back, only Gongsun Yue was alone.
Gu Qian held an umbrella, stunned in place for a while, looked back, only to see a hazy and blurred reflection of a black carriage in the rain, the old city wall streets mottled and swaying in the rain, he came back to his senses, lined up all his trivial thoughts, looked at the man in Tsing Yi umbrella in front of him, and saluted: "Under Gu Qian, the current envoy of the Law Enforcement Department, the girl will go with me." β
The man in Tsing Yi nodded and walked to Gu Qian's side.
The two stood side by side, and the lonely wind and rain blew the water on the street, splashing on Gu
The hem of the black robe.
The umbrella holder's face moved slightly, and he suddenly said curiously: "How do you know that I am a woman?"
A gale blows.
Fallen leaves fly.
Gu Qian tilted the umbrella slightly, pressed the black umbrella against the strong wind, and said with a smile: "It's a guess." β
The umbrella man frowned.
Guess?
"Your Excellency's body is so clean. Gu Qian said honestly: "Ordinary men don't have this kind of habit. It is difficult to travel thousands of miles without getting dust on his body, even if it is the immortal of Qiang Mountain, when he is in a hurry, he will not pay so much attention to the image......"
"You're talking about ordinary men. The umbrella man responded in a wooden tone.
Gu Qian smiled again: "Ordinary women don't use the perfume of 'bitter lotus'. β
The umbrella bearer suddenly stopped.
Gu Qian could only stop with her.
The green umbrella was raised slightly, and the extremely white face under the umbrella, her eyes were obviously covered by white veil, but she could still see that she made the action of "staring".
A gaze through a white veil.
Gu Qian smiled helplessly, very strange about the strange feeling he had in his heart at the moment......
It's as if a blind man can really see.
The umbrella bearer muttered, "Ordinary women really don't use 'bitter lotus'...... But normal people don't know what 'bitter lotus' is. β
"What the girl means is that I am not a normal person......" Gu Qian could only smile bitterly: "Although I don't want to admit it, I am indeed not a normal person." β
"Mr. Yuan Chun of the Lotus Pavilion once left a book in the Secret Pavilion, recording the formations, talismans, and medicines left in his life, this book is extremely precious, and the palace is qualified to read and watch it, no more than the number of hands. Gu Qian stretched out a hand, lightly tapped the side of his head, and smiled softly: "I was fortunate to read it once, and then wrote it down." β
The umbrella bearer smiled and said, "If you record a lone book privately, if it is circulated...... It's to be beheaded. β
Gu Qian sighed: "You also said that it must be circulated, not to mention that I don't have a record, but I have a good memory, so remember, as long as you keep your mouth shut, then nothing will happen." β
The umbrella bearer was thoughtful.
Gu Qian continued: "Mr. Yuan Chun's 'Bitter Lotus' formula can clear the mind and calm the qi and improve the efficiency of meditation, except for that one-of-a-kind book, only a few disciples know about it...... The whereabouts of the two great leaders of the Ping Demon Division are now unknown, Cao Ran is not in the Tiandu Imperial City, and your identity is actually clear. β
The woman in Tsing Yi was a little moved, she was holding the green umbrella in one hand, and the slightest wisp of killing thoughts extended the handle of the umbrella, faintly pouring out.
"Don't be angry, girl. Gu Qian was an extremely cautious and sensitive person, he hurriedly coughed and smiled: "We are all doing things for His Highness, but our identities have been exposed, why do we need to do it, I guarantee that this matter will never be leaked out, just like the 'Bitter Lotus Manuscript'...... After tonight, you and I should not meet. β
The white gauze of the woman in Tsing Yi was never removed, and she said in a cold voice: "The prince is surrounded by people like you?"
Gu Qian was happy, and laughed at himself: "In Tiandu City, there is only one Gu Qian. β
The woman was silent.
She silently wrote down the name "Gu Qian".
Then the young man's tentative voice sounded again.
"The girl is the descendant of Mr. Yuan of the Lotus Pavilion...... The old gentleman's purple lotus clone walked in the north, announcing the disciples of the others, plus Cao Ran, there were only three. Gu Qian's voice was a temptation, but it was more of an inference for self-amusement, he held an umbrella and lifted the side leaning against the woman, while carefully observing the slight changes in the facial expression of the girl in Tsing Yi, and muttered: "There is Mr. Yuan's 'formation' in the Tiandu Imperial City, aunt."
Niang can easily pass through the big formation and enter the wall, so at least she has inherited Mr. Yuan's 'formation' way. β
"Enough. β
A cold voice interrupted Gu Qian.
The woman said in disgust: "If you guess again, I will make you never open your mouth again." β
"Okay. β
After saying the last two words cleanly, Gu Qian obediently shut up.
With a smile on his face, his eyes and nose and his heart were watching, and after listening to this warning, he made up his mind to practice the meditation of closing his mouth.
In fact, Gu Qian is a very cautious person, but man is really a very strange creature...... Some people are always tense and always serious, and it is inevitable that they will meet a few people and burst out a few words that they can't usually say.
He always felt ...... This woman in Tsing Yi gave herself a peculiar feeling.
He thought crankily.
The two of them had already walked a distance.
The woman in Tsing Yi suddenly opened her mouth and asked, "What does the person who just left have anything to do with you?"
Gu Qian was silent.
The umbrella man frowned and said, "What about you?"
Gu Qian stopped helplessly, and at the same time stretched out a hand, pinched the book, pointed to his mouth, and made a throat-cutting motion.
The woman in Tsing Yi lowered the umbrella surface a little to cover her "crying and laughing" look, and a cold voice came from under the umbrella: "You are allowed to answer my question." β
Gu Qian said honestly: "That person is my boss and my friend. β
Get back on the road.
The Imperial City of Tiandu was cold and miserable, with umbrellas blown down from nowhere passing through the long streets, and the sound of meows flashing away.
The umbrella man pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I have heard that in the past three years, there has been a person in Tiandu City who has made hundreds of officials fearful...... Killing people is like hemp, his hands are stained with blood, and calling his name can stop the baby's night cry. β
"Gongsun Yue. β
Gu Qian smiled and said, "The 'Yama King' in Tiandu City. It's the one who just left. β
The woman in Tsing Yi raised her slender eyebrows, the wide white veil covered her eyes, but she couldn't cover the heroic eyebrows, "It's him...... Find out the old case of the General's Mansion and send Ning Yi to the execution ground in Tiandu?"
It's an old thing.
Gu Qian couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that this female disciple of Mr. Yuan Chun has been hidden for too long, and the news is really not well-informed.
However, it is also the fact that the talents of the Lotus Pavilion are now withering, and the two great heads of the two great ministers had an accident in the coup d'Γ©tat in Tiandu...... This girl in Tsing Yi may have received the edict of the prince before she knew that the outside world had undergone drastic changes.
Gu Qian sighed a little and thought, "Ning Yi" is really famous, even this woman who has been in retreat for many years knows the existence of this little uncle of Shushan.
Walking in front of the palace gate, the gold-armored guards stood with their halberds crossed, and as Gu Qian took out the token, they each retreated left and right, making way for them.
The woman holding the umbrella raised her head and looked through the veil at the sky where the wind and rain were shaking and the thunder was roaring.
The courtyard wall of the imperial city is mottled for thousands of years.
Next she was going to meet the crown prince.
Gu Qian, who was standing with his umbrella in his hand, made a "please" action.
He bent over.
There was a soft voice from Yuan Chun's female disciple next to his ear.
Gu Qian ...... I remember your name. β
The gold-armored guards on both sides did not dare to look directly at the man and woman...... Compared with the woman in Tsing Yi who did not know the origin of the unfathomable realm of breath, they were even more afraid of the white and pure young man on the side.
Gu Qian, who was holding the book in his arms, stood up and smiled lightly.
Actually, there is another name. β
Gu Qian hugged the white book tightly and sighed, "They all call me...... Judge. β
