Hearing the words she blurted out, Ji Xu frowned and ordered the guards: "All retreat." Hearing this, the guards took a few steps back, and the circle of defense suddenly expanded a lot. Just when everyone was puzzled, a "buzzing" sound approached, straight to the atrium, and everyone in the darkness looked at it, it was a group of unknown insects.

No one expected that this kind of thing would happen, everyone panicked, and when they were busy, Ji Xu shouted coldly: "Light the torch." Hearing such an order, after all, it was a well-trained guard on weekdays, and he immediately calmed down, and after a while, multiple torches were already lit up in the atrium, as if it were day. Most of the insects are afraid of fire, but at this moment, the lights are bright, the insects have disappeared, and even the man in black has taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

Ziping, Zizhu and a cadre of guards all knelt in place in unison, not daring to move, Ji Xu's complexion was normal, he couldn't see his emotions, he smiled warmly, and said, "It's okay, go down." Hearing his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately left the atrium, and in an instant, the atrium fell into darkness again.

Ji Xu turned around, looked at Gu Qingwan's beautiful side face hidden in the shadows, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, I'll deal with it." ”

A shallow smile was aroused, Gu Qingwan was silent, her eyes fell on the atrium, and she only felt that it was pitch black and blank, and it seemed that even her heart was sinking and boundless.

Standing in place, Ji Xu's face was expressionless, his thoughts were like a tide, remembering what happened during the day, and there were Turks who broke into the Mansion of the Marquis of Po at night, could it be that someone in the court leaked it......

...... After that, Gu Qingwan couldn't sleep.

Ji Xu has always been a man of words, and he said that he would leave this matter to him to deal with.

The next day, the Turkic envoys asked the emperor to resign, did not mention the matter of the person in the painting, and left the capital with the treasures and the five beauties of the Celestial Empire, and returned to the summer capital.

The emperor is also a dragon-faced Dayue, and he feels that the troubles are easily solved, and all he sees in the court is full of joy, and everyone is happy.

The scenery of the city is chaotic, and the smoke and waves under the city are hitting the shore in spring.

Quzhou is a city that must pass through the west of Beijing, with unique scenery and eye-catching, and its geographical location is in the main road of commercial traffic, and it has also become one of the prosperous commercial capitals of the Celestial Empire. The scenery of Qudu is more soft than that of the capital, which can be described as "the sound of warblers everywhere, the wind and smoke are clear".

In the evening, on the ancient road outside Quzhou, a motorcade slowly passed, and on the rarely populated ancient road, pedestrians who occasionally walked by couldn't help but guess the identity of the convoy. In the center of the procession, there was actually an eight-horse carriage, with extraordinary momentum, and the forbidden army was centered on the carriage, lined up, protecting the advance......

Zilan sat on the left side of the carriage, picked up a plate of fruit on the small table, turned around, looked at Gu Qingwan who was staring at the scenery outside the car, and said, "Madam, eat some fruit, in the evening, you can arrive in Quzhou." ”

Ziyu, who was staying by Gu Qingwan's side, took the plate, picked a strawberry, and handed it to Gu Qingwan.

After taking the strawberry and putting it in her mouth, the carriage suddenly stopped and Gu Qingwan put down the bamboo stick in her hand, turned her eyes to the outside of the car, and looked calm, as if she was thinking.

There have been too many things that have happened recently, Gu Qingwan feels a little tired, and her grandmother feels sorry for her, so she proposes to let her go to Quzhou to recuperate for a while.

Quzhou is not only beautiful, but also a summer resort, summer is coming, Gu Qingwan can also go to Quzhou's other courtyard to escape the summer.

In the evening, Quzhou post station is lively, Quzhou is a commercial city, the flow of people is complicated, the place to rest at the moment, talking, people swaying.

The stationmaster drank two glasses of wine, stood in the lobby with high interest and fisted with people, suddenly his ears were lifted, and he shouted pain, and when he looked back, it was his wife, and he was busy laughing: "Madam, why did you come down?" His wife was well-known throughout Quzhou and was known as "La Xi Shi", known for her beauty and fiery temper.

"Xiao Yazi shouted at you a few times, you only know how to draw fists, don't do serious things......" Everyone saw him and his wife quarreling, and they all laughed, and those who are familiar with it know that this is the way they get along with husband and wife, and by the way, it is also used as a joke after tea and dinner in Quzhou.

When the two were busy arguing, Xiao Er ran into the lobby and shouted: "Master, madam, there is a guest at the door." ”

Rashi Shi rolled his eyes and threw it over, shouting: "If there are guests, you won't bring them in, just stand and shout nonsense......"

As soon as the words fell, eight expressionless strong men walked into the door, separated in twos and twos, and the four stood in a row at the entrance of the lobby, and the lobby was suddenly silent, and everyone stared at the door in unison.

As soon as the eight people stood still, three people walked in behind, the previous two movements and expressions were surprisingly the same, like a delicate young man, take a closer look, the smell of fat powder is too strong, it is actually a woman dressed up, everyone is puzzled, and then look at the last person, breathing suddenly suffocated.

Huaguang is colorful, handsome and beautiful, a light blue quenched white leaf clothes, jade crown silver silk bundle hair, silver hairband fluttering between the hair, elegant and extraordinary, light smile does not leave the lips, on the left ear, a string of black halo pearl earrings and shoulders, with the movement of the person swaying, the streamer is colorful, reflecting her bright and unique, between light and dark, very charming.

Knowing that the other party was dressed as a woman, everyone still had a feeling of not being able to breathe, this kind of evil beauty that transcended gender, in the lobby, both men and women were shocked and speechless.

Zilan took a step forward and said to the stationmaster and Ra Shih Tzu in the center of the lobby, "We want a room on the second floor and a half." The silence was broken by a word, and the lobby resumed its voices.

La Xi Shi nodded his head twice in a row, his eyes couldn't help but drift away from Gu Qingwan, secretly thinking that there were still such characters in the world, and said attentively: "Yes, there is a VIP room on the second floor, and no one usually lives in it, so it's just for you to enjoy." He waved his hand to call Xiao Er, who was in a daze, and led the way upstairs.

Gu Qingwan smiled lightly, walked to the second floor, looked at the surrounding environment, and was quite satisfied, her mind quietly turned, and she was already confident, right here, she wanted to borrow the mouth of Youyou.

The peach is planted in the sky and dew, not the number of flowers.

When it was close to the summer solstice, the cold had disappeared, and the morning was also warm, Ra Shih Tzu was woken up from a dream, with a look of impatience and irritability, and walked down from the stairs casually, cursing secretly in his mouth: "I don't let people sleep well, and they come earlier and earlier every day." ”

Xiao Yazi, who was walking in front, heard it, turned around and said with a smile: "Since the 'childe' lives upstairs, we have become more and more lively day by day." ”

Glaring at him quickly, La Shih Tzu complained: "What a mouth." "The heart is at a loss, five days ago the night, the beautiful "boy" after living in, the post station is indeed more and more lively day by day, after the unknown guest came, the first two days invited the literati of Quzhou City to talk about tea, and then two days, no invitation, the people who came also flocked to it. For this trend, La Shih Tzu is not happy and surprised, and a sense of uneasiness quietly envelops his heart.

She has read countless people, but she can't guess the identity of this distinguished guest, but judging from her actions in the past two days, she feels that things are not as simple as tasting tea and talking about literature, but where the crux is, she can't say why for a while.

"Ma'am, it's here." Xiao Yazi's frivolous and reckless voice woke her up, and when she looked at the lobby, her head also hurt, could it be that all the scholars in the world have run to this station?

Secretly wailed, she put on a twelve-minute smile and greeted the black pressure in the lobby: "Everyone, get up so early today?" ”

Most of the scribes in the lobby raised their heads and looked at the people walking down slowly upstairs, and a tall and thin scholar dressed up and returned the salute: "Madam, is the 'childe' up?" ”

No one in the lobby knew what the name of the distinguished guest was, and some people had never even seen 'him' in person, although he knew that the other party was most likely a girl, but he listened to the entourage and called him 'Childe', so the word 'Childe' became his exclusive use.

With a professional smile on his face, La Shih Tzu replied: "It's not that you don't know the hour when 'Childe' gets up early, it's useless to come and wait early, you better come back in an hour." He raised his hand lightly and persuaded them to go back, but unfortunately the people in the lobby did not respond, and no one wanted to leave.

Sighing lightly, La Shih Tzu turned back to Xiao Yazi and shouted: "Go and prepare breakfast for everyone, you won't have the strength to 'know the text'." "It's useless to talk about these wooden heads, and even the mood of hospitality disappears, so Ra Shih Tzu turned around and went upstairs.

Walking through the corridor, she arrived at the half floor where the distinguished guest lived, stopped, she thought to herself for a while, and then walked over slowly, sure enough, she saw the two maids of Zilan and Ziyu holding incense and walking towards the flower hall, presumably in preparation for the guests waiting for the meeting, she took three steps forward and shouted to Ruqing: "Qing girl, you 'son' can get up?" ”

Hearing the sound, the two maids turned their heads and saw that it was Spicy Shih Tzu, and they both showed sweet smiles, probably because Spicy Shih Tzu was bold and straightforward, and Zilan Ziyu and her became acquainted in a short period of time. Ruqing greeted first: "Childe is up, in the flower hall." La Xi Shi hurriedly stepped forward, approached the two maids, and the three of them talked and laughed, and went to the flower hall.

Entering the flower hall, she saw eight strong sweaters expressionless around all corners of the flower hall, La Xi Shi was not surprised, she had already found that the side of the distinguished guest did not leave people for a moment, either two maids or eight people dressed as generals, there was a feeling of being heavily guarded.

"Is Sanniang here?" The crisp voice sounded, coming out through the curtain, the tone was not hurried, steady with a beat, and the sound was buckled into the heart.

La Xi Shi's real name is Sanniang, but no one has called for many years, and when he heard it at this moment, he felt like in a dream, and hurriedly replied: "'Childe', I'm here." Approaching the curtain, he stopped five paces away. In the past five days, the 'Childe' has been greeted by the curtain, and no one is allowed to approach within five steps, and it has become an iron-clad rule.
