Chapter Seventy-Seven: Chess Pieces

At the mention of this, Li Xiu's face quickly darkened, who was behind him, one moment he ordered someone to cut off her tongue, and the next moment he received the head of a side concubine in his mansion, so that he had to take back the order he had given.

It's not that he is afraid of Guo's methods, or that he is threatened by Guo's methods, Guo can learn the news so quickly and then pay back to him in the same way, she alone will definitely not be able to do it, he must have Guo's undercover agent by his side.

If the undercover agent is not eliminated as soon as possible, I am afraid that the next head sent will not be a simple side concubine, but the sister he has recovered.

"I wonder if this king will give his mother a gift?" Li Xiu smiled, the meaning in his eyes was unclear.

"Before the prince gives a gift, why don't you think about Princess Qinghe, I heard that she was named Qinghe by the emperor recently? The crown prince doesn't want our princess Qinghe to have a few more days of peaceful birthdays? Guo Shi chuckled lightly and said lightly.

"Ah Yuan's matter is not to worry about the queen mother, the queen mother should worry about herself."

"Even if you threaten this palace with the entire Guo family, this palace will not fall for you." Guo is nothing more than a group of ants to her, trying to climb up by stepping on her flesh and blood. A group of stupid and stupid clansmen, with a small official position, did not help her future.

A few days ago, Li Xiu cut off her brother's tongue and sent it to her, she didn't just stare at the mass of objects, in addition to being a little sleepy, what emotions could there be in her eyes. She stared at it not because she was sad or angry, but because her eyes hurt so badly, and if she closed them, the pain would be doubled.

A wine bag and rice bag who only knows how to drink and have fun all day long, whether Li Xiu kills him or not, there is nothing special about her.

Li Xiu looked at Guo Shi coldly with an indifferent expression, threw out a jade pendant engraved with bamboo leaves from his sleeve, and played with it in the palm of his hand.

Guo's smile had not yet been withdrawn on his face, and he was shocked when he saw the jade pendant in Li Xiu's hand, and his face froze: "How did you get this jade pendant?" ”

"Naturally, it was taken from a man in Tsing Yi, but there seemed to be a ten-year-old girl standing next to the man." Li Xiu said lazily: "But the queen mother must know the current affairs, otherwise I am afraid that what I will see tomorrow will no longer be this jade pendant but a head." Doesn't the queen mother love to give her son this gift? In the end, the queen mother's movements are fast or the son's movements are fast. ”

But in just a short period of time, Guo Shi instantly seemed to be ten years old. Two lines of tears slid down his cheeks, and he couldn't stop it.

She slowly closed her eyes, letting those unforgettable memories sweep in, and then opened her eyes with clarity: "Li Xiu, can you promise that you will never hurt them?" ”

Li Xiu looked at the pale and weak Guo in front of him with a smile: "What is the queen mother doing?" A few days ago, the king ordered someone to send Lord Guo's tongue and mother was indifferent, but today I just saw a piece of jade pendant, why did I look so good? ”

Although she is now threatened by Li Xiu, she is not the one who watched Li Xiu so sarcastically mock her like this, she said coldly: "You don't play here, since you threaten me with them, how can you not know their identities?" ”

His mind was exposed like this, Li Xiu was not annoyed but laughed, and spread his hands and said: "Although this king knows a lot, but this king really doesn't know the origin of that Guo Gongzi?" Aren't you brother and sister? Why are we together? ”

"What does it have to do with you?" has already experienced the questioning and sarcasm of others over and over again, and even looked at them with strange eyes, Guo Shi has long been able to answer them without changing his face.

…………

After leaving the dungeon, a man in black with a mask came out of the darkness, with a chill all over his body, and once he got close to him half a foot, his whole body immediately felt a squeeze.

"What should Guo's lover and daughter do?" A bone-chilling voice asked.

Because I know Li Xiu too well, I asked this question. In any case, he is definitely not the kind of soft-hearted person, and he would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go. Although Fang had promised Guo in the dungeon that he would let her daughter live for them, he knew that Li Xiu would never do this.

"Go and kill them for me, remember not to leave them alive." Li Xiumian did not change his color, and he didn't care about his change of hexagram.

Suddenly thinking of something, he turned to the man in black and said, "What? Want to show mercy? ”

The man in black didn't say a word.

Li Xiu broke the embarrassment by himself and took his own words: "I forgot that you have no heart, how can you be soft-hearted?" ”

The man in black remained silent.

Li Xiu was not annoyed, he remembered something, and said with interest: "I went to Daliang this time to meet the legendary Miss Shen family. ”

The man in black finally spoke: "Oh. ”

Li Xiu wanted to put his hand on the man in black, but was frozen by the murderous aura of the man in black, and had to put down his hand: "Then Miss Shen is obviously a smart girl, where is she as cold and cold as the rumors say, and there is no half human touch." ”

"Do you know Mu Zhao, the third son of the Tobe Shangshu?" The man in black asked blandly. The tone is steady, without a hint of ups and downs.

I've known the man in black for so long, and I only know how to check his origin, but I can't find out, as if he is a person who doesn't belong here. I only know that he wears a mask all day long, and his black robe hides his body tightly, so that people can't peek around his body.

The only thing that could be seen was his figure and voice, his voice was hoarse and cold, without the slightest undulation, his body was thin and long, he should be a personable man.

The conversation between the two of them has always been commensurate with me, and he was not annoyed by the man in black when he spoke like this, and thought about it for a while: "Naturally, I know that on the streets of Daliang Kyoto, I once met Miss Shen and Mu Zhao. After speaking, he remembered that something was wrong, and looked at the man in black: "When did you become interested in the Daliang people?" The other party is still the son of a small courtier? ”

"You don't have to." The man in black said.

Li Xiu snorted coldly: "Who wants to care about you, I'm still afraid that you will go the wrong way, and you shouldn't have thoughts." ”

Li Xiu's words were completely incomprehensible, almost making the man in black think that he was talking nonsense, and there was no doubt on his face, he asked, "What?" ”

Seeing the cold expression on the face of the man in black, he snorted angrily: "If you inquire about Miss Shen, as a brother, I can also be a matchmaker for you..." "But if you are interested in Mu Zhao, isn't this a crooked path?"

Man in Black: "??? "What the hell is he talking about? He just asked why these things were on this topic.

"Hahahaha!" It was rare to see the man in black freeze in place with an ice face, and laughed out loud.

"Ah Yuan is afraid that he is still waiting for me to eat in the palace, and in October, I will take the first step." After speaking, he walked forward without looking back, waving his hand as he went.

After seeing the person leave, the man in black took out an old and tattered sachet from his arms, stared at it for a long time, and the coldness in his clear eyes dissipated a little, with a trace of warmth.

……………

After getting Li Xiu's assurance, Guo Shi was relieved, the inflamed wound on her body began to hurt little by little from the depths of the bone marrow at this moment, since she was a child, some people said that she was a weirdo, if someone threatened her, she would not feel pain no matter how many holes she pricked in her body, it seemed that emotions suppressed her body and saved her from pain.

But if there was no concern, all the wounds on her body began to hurt, gradually deepening little by little, as if to return all the pain she had not suffered these days to her.

She endured the pain and walked step by step into the muddy pool desperately looking for her clothes. It didn't take long for her to finally find a broken red bottom three inlaid gold entangled silk silk skirt at the edge of the pool, the skirt was a little broken, fortunately it could hide the body, she vigorously ripped off the gold silk plate flower inlaid on the skirt, leaving only a red bottom skirt, a simple and elegant style.

In fact, there are also piles of silk and red gold steps and pinched flowers in the sewage that day, although some hairpins were washed away by the sewage soaking, if you take care of it, she has already worn it, she didn't wear it, ripped off a piece of fabric on her skirt, and personally braided a long braid for herself.

Just like the braids he once braided for her with his own hands, the long braids hung down at the waist, smart and innocent, and the simple bun covered her original flamboyant facial features.

"Rongrong, now I can only comb your braids, and when I become rich in the future, I will definitely buy you a step to shake the flowers, so that you can be the most beautiful girl in the world." He looked at her with a smile on his lips.

At that time, her facial features were open, she was already bright and moving, at that time she was actually the most beautiful woman in the world, they were Guo's side branches, the family was too poor to open the pot, and they were not allowed to enter the southern city to seek the protection of Guo's family.

Now that they have run out of entanglements, they are still worried about tomorrow's food money, and he said that the word "rich in the future" is not a fool saying that dreams cannot be realized, okay? At that time, she saw things clearly, how could she not understand his delusions, but she still replied to him with a smile: "Brother Houzhao, I am waiting for you here, waiting for you to make me the most beautiful woman in the whole Zhou." ”

It's a pity that when the flowers bloom and fall, the clouds roll up, and the snow melts, she still didn't wait for his brother to come to him with a flower in his hand, and she didn't wait for her to come to marry her.

In the troubled times, when the princes competed for hegemony and parted with life and death, the woman who was too good-looking either became a plaything for others to play with, or became a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people, and fell into the relationship with the monarchs of various countries.

She was fortunate to be born at the right time, in a prosperous era. But her life is still a tragedy.

As a side branch daughter of the Guo family who came to take refuge, her life could only be in the hands of the head of the Guo family, and they let her die, and she didn't even have a chance to live.
