Chapter 21: Gu Linyan

Hearing the words 'Gu Gongzi', Rong Rongci's eyes lit up, and he pushed the door straight towards the small courtyard.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the palace, standing in the courtyard was a man dressed in a green robe with dark patterns of green clouds, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his eyes were shining. ”

"Senior brother!"

Rong Rongci was also very surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward, clasped tightly with Gu Linyan's outstretched hand, and his eyes were warm and warm.

Gu Linyan held Rong Rong's hand tightly: "Senior sister, are you okay?" ”

"Okay, I'm fine."

After Rong Rongci finished speaking, he didn't wait for Gu Linyan to ask again, and said hurriedly: "Now is not the time to be happy, I haven't figured out the Regent Mansion yet, it is inconvenient for you to stay for a long time, I just ask you, you and Kongquan came to Shangyin so quickly, is there something wrong with the cooperation with Xue Mingjun?" ”

Although he had already guessed this result, seeing Gu Linyan nodded, a chill still arose in Rong Rong's heart.

"On the third day after you left Nanrong, Master received news that Xue Mingjun was not sincere in cooperating, and he had already planned to get rid of you after you did it, so as to provoke a war between Nanrong and Shangyin."

"So, the assassin that day was sent by Xue Mingjun......"

Rong Rong said and closed his eyes.

Xue Mingjun is the prime minister of Dayu, and he has had a secret connection with Nanrong for more than a year.

The day before the marriage, Rong Bangci received an order from his master that Nan Rong would secretly cooperate with Dayu, asking her to take advantage of the opportunity of the marriage to provoke disputes between Shangyin and other countries and weaken Shangyin's strength.

But as soon as she left, the master received a tip-off that Xue Mingjun originally intended to involve everyone except Dayu, and other countries were fighting, and Dayu took the opportunity to grow.

"How did Master get this news?"

"It's the news sent by Emperor Dayu."

Hearing this, Rong Rong's expression loosened slightly.

The emperor of Dayu was named Ning Yan and was a woman. The reason why Dayu is eager to disturb the world is because Dayu's own national strength in the Central Plains can only be regarded as neither strong nor weak. Shangyin is outstanding, Daxi and Mingqi have long had an alliance, so the national Zuo of Dayu and Sangrong is in jeopardy.

On the other hand, because of the extreme discord within Dayu, the female emperor Ning Yan and the prime minister Xue Ming shared power equally, and they could not distinguish between winners and losers after several years of internal fighting, and the national strength became more and more empty.

At this juncture, if Emperor Shangyin launched a war, and Daxi and Ming Qi watched from the wall, and the three foreign countries did not interfere, then Dayu could almost be said to be in a defeated position, and only by muddying the water of Shangyin could they not free up their hands to deal with Dayu.

But at such a joint, Xue Mingjun actually reneged on the agreement, intending to use Nanrong to consume Shangyin.

"Senior sister, it's good that you're not injured."

Rong Rongci's thoughts were pulled back, and he smiled softly at Gu Linyan, but somehow, what flashed in his mind was Su Zhi's face.

After settling down, Rong said: "Xue Mingjun's betrayal of us is not completely certain, and it is someone else's instigation to keep it up, and I will personally investigate this matter." ”

Gu Linyan's expression changed slightly: "This matter has been confirmed by the master, and there should be no falsehood." Ning Yan has always been unaccustomed to Xue Mingjun being unscrupulous and treacherous to achieve her goals, she sincerely wants to cooperate with us, so she passed the news, what she meant was that she hoped that Nan Rong would help her deal with Xue Mingjun. ”

Rong Wangci paced a few steps in the courtyard: "Nanrong's affairs are arranged by the master, and I won't interfere, but here, if Xue Mingjun really sends someone to do something to me, there must not be only such a person, there must be a person who delivers the news, at the moment, Shangyin Imperial City is only allowed to enter and exit, and I still have time to catch the people behind the scenes." ”

Gu Linyan knew what kind of character his senior sister was, and he didn't plan to persuade him anymore, so he only came to Rong Rongci and grinned: "Listen to senior sister, but you have to take me." ”

Gu Linyan has just turned twenty now, but he is still a teenager, he only sticks to Rong Rongci as before, and he has no scruples when he gets along, and when he bends over, a handsome face has almost been pasted to Rong Rong's face.

In the end, he has already experienced personnel, Rong Rongci took a step back, and glanced at Gu Linyan: "Your senior sister, I am already married, and you are also a big man, how can you still be so close to me, what kind of system?" ”

Gu Linyan looked stunned, as if he didn't expect Rong Rongci to say this, he was stunned for a long time, lowered his eyes to hide the sad look in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, he still had a bright smile: "Anyway, you are in danger alone, I have to protect you." ”

Rong Rong pursed his lips and smiled: "When do I need your protection?" Since you were a child, didn't I protect you more? ”

Gu Linyan twisted his eyebrows: "I have grown up now and can protect you." ”

Xu is Gu Linyan's expression was too serious, Rong Rongci was a little unaccustomed for a while, and turned his face away from the corners of his mouth: "Su Zhi should go down to the court for a while, you go first, if there is anything in the future, I will let Fran contact you." ”

Hearing this, Fran nodded at Gu Linyan, but Gu Linyan looked at Rong Rong's side face and was a little stunned.

Rong Wangci didn't hear Gu Linyan's response, so he turned his face back and glanced at him again: "Don't you want to leave yet?" I can't protect you if someone finds out. ”

Gu Linyan smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "I'll watch you go in." ”

Rong Rongci exhaled heavily from his nasal cavity, as if he was helpless to Gu Linyan, and he didn't say anything more, turned around and went into the inner hall.

Fran Fang wanted to follow, but was stopped by Gu Linyan.

"Fran..."

"What's wrong with Gu Gongzi?"

Gu Linyan has always been a hippie smile, jumping around, rarely quiet, but at this moment there is a vague bit of unusual calm on his face, Fran looked at him, only felt that there was a little indescribable sadness in his eyes.

"The Regent... Is it good for her? ”

Almost without thinking about it, Fran almost blurted out the word 'good', but seeing Gu Linyan looking at her quietly, Fran only replied: "It's okay......"

Gu Linyan nodded, but as smart as he was, he had already seen the changes in Fran's expression, and there was a faint sourness in his heart, and even his eyes were a little sour.

He shrugged his shoulders and turned away, his face returning to his usual lightness, and he only turned his back to Fran and said, "Take good care of her." ”

After saying that, a little on tiptoe, a green shadow had already swept up the wall, and then disappeared on the courtyard wall.

Fran looked at the direction in which Gu Linyan left, tilted her head and thought about it, but she didn't understand what Gu Linyan's strange look was, so she just sighed softly, turned around and entered the inner hall.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, Fran saw Rong Rongci flipping through a book, which seemed to be the same yesterday's "Xing Yin Lu: Imperial City Essays".

"Princess, is this book that good?"

Rong Rongci raised his eyes and glanced at Fran: "It's not pretty, but it's useful." ”

After speaking, she continued to look through the "Imperial City Essays" in her hand.
