Xue Tao walked into her husband's study with a cup of tea, only to see her husband standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the night sky outside the window, Xue Tao gently put down the teacup, walked to her husband's side, and held his hand.

"Husband, don't blame yourself too much!"

They have been married for so many years, Xue Tao knows her husband too well, and she knows that her husband is full of self-blame for Duqiu's death.

Guo Song sighed softly, "It's me who took it lightly, he could have been immortal." ”

"Husband, you can't be exhaustive, even the barrel sometimes leaks, let alone people, there are always things you can't think of."

Guo Song nodded, "I really didn't expect them to attack Dugu Xiangguo, I thought they would only deal with me and my family." ”

Xue Tao was a little worried: "Dugu Xiangguo was assassinated, could it be because he is Youlan's father?" ”

"I don't think it has anything to do with it."

Guo Song kissed his wife's forehead and smiled: "Don't worry, your parents are safe!" ”

"I know, husband, or else.... Why don't you let her move to the Jin Palace? “

Guo Song knew who his wife was referring to? Guo Song shook his head, "She doesn't like to be restrained, and besides, she has to protect the safety of the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor, I just let Yu Niang move to the mansion, her current martial arts are very superb." ”

Since her husband objected, Xue Tao didn't insist anymore, so she said to her husband again: "Youlan is back, go and see her!" ”

"How is she?" Guo Song asked.

"I cried a few times, and my mood was relatively low, I was afraid that she would be too lonely in Dugu Mansion alone, so I asked people to take her back."

Guo Song nodded, relieved that his wife was thoughtful.

"I'll go see her!"

Guo Song drank two sips of hot tea, then left the study with his wife and came to Dugu Youlan's room.

Dugu Youlan's room was very dark, I saw Dugu Youlan sitting alone at the table, looking at her thin shoulders, Guo Song suddenly felt an indescribable pity and apology in his heart, thinking of her loneliness? In the past few years, I have indeed snubbed her a little.

He walked behind Dugu Youlan? The hand was gently placed on her shoulder, and Dugu Youlan's body shook slightly? She smelled a familiar scent? She immediately stood up and threw herself into her husband's arms and wept bitterly.

Guo Song didn't persuade her either? Just gently stroke her hair and make her cry to her heart's content.

For a while? Dugu Youlan finally stopped crying? She choked up and whispered, "I'm much better, thank you husband for coming to visit me." ”

"Isn't that what you should say?"

Guo Song smiled and said, "I've been with you for the past few days, don't you bother me?" Just drive me away. ”

Dugu Youlan had a smile on her face? "Minqiu also said that he would come to accompany me!"

"That.... Then let her accompany her! ”

"No way!"

Dugu Youlan hugged her husband's waist tightly and pressed her pretty face to his chest, "I want you to stay with me and accompany me more, or I feel really uncomfortable." ”

Then? Guo Song felt something, and turned around? Seeing Xue Tao beckoning to him at the door, he smiled and said, "Then you go and tell Minqiu!" Shall I go first? I'll be with you in the evening. ”

Dugu Youlan wiped away her tears, her husband's tenderness made her feel much better? She nodded? "I'll clean up a little bit and then go to Minqiu? Let's get busy first! ”

Guo Song kissed her pretty face, then turned around and walked out of the door, only to see Xue Tao standing outside the door with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Guo Song asked a little embarrassed.

"Just now, a palace maid came to report, and the king commander came, saying that there was an urgent matter, and he was waiting in the Qilin Palace!"

"Then I'll take a look!"

Guo Song knew that Wang Yue came to find him at this time, and he must have come for the assassination, so he quickly came to the Qilin Hall under the guidance of the two palace maids.

Wang Yue stood at the door of the Qilin Palace, and when he saw His Royal Highness the King of Jin coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "See Your Highness!" ”

"What's the urgency?"

"Your Royal Highness, you want to go to Dugu Mansion to find someone, but Dugu Mansion won't let us in, and you need a gold medal from His Royal Highness King Jin!"

Guo Song raised his eyebrows, "Tell me the reason?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, the investigation found that the assassin knew two days ago that Dugu Xiangguo was coming to Xianyang today, and he made preparations early, but the steward of the Xianyang Sugar Refining Workshop only knew that Dugu Xiangguo was going early this morning, which means that Dugu Xiangguo's itinerary has not been made public, so who leaked Dugu Xiangguo's itinerary two days in advance?"

"You mean, there are ghosts in Dugu Mansion?"

"I feel that it is not only as simple as an inner ghost, but also a person around Lonely Xiangguo, a person who knows his itinerary, and I went to Dugu Mansion to investigate the case, but was rejected by Dugu Dashi and did not allow us to enter the house."

The two brothers of Dugu Qiu, the second Dugu Changqiu, are very kind and generous, but the third Dugu Dashi is as his name suggests, cold and hard, and it is difficult to deal with.

Guo Song took out the gold medal and handed it to him, "You go investigate first, and report the situation to me tomorrow morning!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Wang Yue took the gold medal and saluted, and hurriedly went, Guo Song looked at his back and walked away, and shook his head.

In fact, he also has some doubts to ask Wang Yue, such as the poisonous crossbow, which reminded him of the assassination of Minqiu's brother Zhang Daqi, which is very similar, is there a relationship between the two?

However, Guo Song could feel that Wang Yue was very anxious, so he didn't delay him and let him go first.

..........

Wang Yue was indeed very anxious, he found in the investigation that the other party knew Dugu Qiu's itinerary well, and he immediately realized that there must be an internal response in Dugu Mansion, which was an extremely important clue, he rushed to Dugu Mansion with a group of brothers, but was rejected by Dugu Dashi, and they were not allowed to enter the mansion, nor did they receive it, which made Wang Yue both annoyed and helpless.

It seems that they can only use the gold medal of King Jin to suppress them, and to get the gold medal, Wang Yue took thirty of his men to ride horses all the way, and arrived at Dugu Mansion in a short time.

Dugu Mansion was full of spirit flags at this time, and a spirit shed was set up in the front yard of the mansion, and there was an endless stream of people who came to pay their filial piety.

Guo Song ordered to deal with the aftermath with the gift of the king of the county, which made the Dugu family very satisfied, which meant that Dugu Qiu would soon be posthumously crowned the king of the county.

Many Guanlong families sent their sons-in-law as family representatives to come to Dugu Qiu's leader, of course, because Dugu Qiu was the leader of the Guan Long family and had a high status, and his death made the Guan Long family lose its backbone for a while.

Wang Yue arrived with his subordinates, and a family member had already run to report Dugu Dashi, and Dugu Dashi came to the door angrily.

Dugu Dashi served as the general of Qianniuwei in Chengdu, but he was also excluded by the eunuchs, so that he lost his military power, and later returned to Chang'an.

Although Dugu Dashi has a very bad temper, he is still relatively upright, and the reason why he has a bad attitude towards Wang Yue is largely because he feels that they did not protect his brother well, which led to the assassination of his brother, which is really unacceptable to him.

"What are you doing again?" Dugu Dashi asked very dissatisfied.

Wang Yue didn't say anything, and directly showed the gold medal of King Jin, "I came to investigate the assassin on the order of King Jin!" ”

No matter how tempered Dugu Dashi was, he didn't dare to confront King Jinjin, he said angrily: "I don't understand why Dugu Mansion investigates? ”

Wang Yue saw that his tone was relieved, so he said, "We suspect that there is an assassin in your mansion, and we leaked the whereabouts of Dugu Xiangguo in advance. ”

Dugu Dashi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ordered his family to say, "Go and invite the eldest prince!" ”

The family went in a hurry, and Dugu Dashi asked, "Does Commander Wang know who leaked it?" ”

Wang Yue shook his head, "We don't have a clue at the moment!" ”

Not long after, Dugu Mingren, who was wearing heavy filial piety, hurriedly came, "Third uncle, are you looking for me?" ”

"You receive the king, they are investigating the case, and there is a gold medal for the king of Jin!"

After speaking, he glared at Wang Yue, turned around and left, he was obviously dissatisfied with Wang Yue's use of the Jin King Gold Medal to press himself.

Dugu Mingren is the eldest son of Dugu Qiu, about forty years old, and is currently the official Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and is very respected by Guo Song.

Dugu Qiu's five sons are very good, the eldest son Dugu Mingren is needless to say, the second son Dugu Mingyi is the governor of Qingzhou, the third son Dugu Mingli is about to serve as the envoy of Yangzhou City, the fourth son Dugu Mingxiao is currently serving as a doctor in Guozixue, the fifth Dugu Qian and Guo Song have a deep intersection, he is not out of office, and is currently in charge of the family business with the second uncle Dugu Changqiu.

Because Guo Song is not very close to the Guo family, there is currently only one Guo Shu in the Guo family as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, so he has always relied on the Dugu family.

Dugu Mingren invited Wang Yue to the VIP room to sit down, and he said apologetically: "Filial piety is in the body, please forgive me for the rudeness!" ”

Wang Yue waved his hand, "I'm here to handle the case, you don't have to be polite, time is pressing, I'll go directly to the case." ”

"Commander Wang, please speak!"

"That's the case, we found out today that the assassin knows Dugu Xiangguo's itinerary very well, it should be that someone in your mansion leaked it, who does Shaoqing think it will be?"

Dugu Mingren was taken aback, and he said to the maid who brought the tea in: "Go and find the fifth prince quickly, just say that there is an emergency!" ”

The maid agreed, and hurriedly went.

Dugu Mingren said again: "My father's itinerary is generally my fifth brother's responsibility, the suspicion of the king commander is indeed reasonable, my father is very particular about planning in advance, and his itinerary will definitely be set in advance." ”

At this time, Dugu Qian walked in quickly.
