At the dinner table of the Xue family, Xue Xun calmly told his family that Guo Song was forced to resign.

Xue Tao was shocked, and the chopsticks in her hand stopped.

Han's eyes widened, "What, Guo Song was forced to resign?" Sir, what the hell is going on? ”

Xue Xun wrote lightly: "He offended Chang Xiangguo, and the two had a fierce quarrel in the court, which resulted in anger to the Son of Heaven, Chang Xiangguo was warned, and Guo Song was forced to resign." ”

"Why is he always like this?"

Han Shi was very dissatisfied and said: "Last time, he offended Yuan Xiangguo, and it didn't take long for him to offend Chang Xiangguo again, why didn't he have a little self-knowledge, is Xiangguo a small official who can offend him?" ”

Xue Tao couldn't help but say: "Mother, don't accuse Guo Gongzi like this, maybe there is something we don't understand, Guo Gongzi is not a reckless person, even if he quarrels with Xiangguo, he must be forced to be helpless." ”

"Shut up!"

Han scolded his daughter angrily, "I don't like a young man like him, he doesn't know what to do, he doesn't know how to be respectful and inferior, he only knows how to act rashly, my future son-in-law must not be such a person!" ”

"You!" Xue Tao was so angry that he slammed the bowl on the table, got up and ran back to the room.

"Dead girl, more and more willful!"

"Don't you say a word! Anyway, Guo Gongzi has a great kindness to our family, so we can't forget our roots like this. ”

"These are two different things, we will find a way to repay his kindness in the future, but I don't think such a young man is suitable to be our son-in-law......"

"That's it!"

Xue Xun interrupted his wife unhappily, "It's just that he lost his official position!" You're starting to dislike people. ”

"It's not! No! I think he is too reckless and easy to offend people, and Tao'er will not have a good life with him. ”

Speaking of this, Han said thoughtfully: "At the banquet yesterday, I think there was a faint meaning in Zhang Dong's words, implying that Guo Song wanted to marry our daughter. ”

Xue Xun poured himself another glass of wine, and said unhurriedly: "I think Guo Song is good as my son-in-law, it suits my appetite very much, I don't like that kind of young man with a sweet mouth and a sword, treacherous and cunning." ”

"My daughter was born to me, her marriage must be decided by me, no matter what kind of son-in-law, I must like it!"

After speaking, Han slammed his chopsticks on the table as if demonstrating, got up and left.

Xue Xun was unmoved, as if nothing had happened, and continued to drink his wine.

.........

Coming out of the East Market, Guo Song got into the carriage of the Treasure Pavilion and returned to the Taoist Temple, and the coachman said to Guo Song: "Childe, there are a few sneaky people today, and they seem to be still following us." ”

"Where?" Guo Song asked vigilantly.

"The next few horsemen in black are them, and I have seen them outside the restaurant all the time."

Guo Song opened the rear window baffle and looked behind, only to see four or five black-clothed people riding horses and following the carriage unhurriedly.

Guo Song touched the sword on his waist and said with a sneer: "Keep walking, go out of the city from Qixia Gate." ”

With a swing of his whip, the coachman sped up his horse and drove out of the city.

After a short time, the carriage left the city from Qixia Gate, and the five men in black followed them a hundred paces away.

At this time, Guo Song got out of the carriage and said to the coachman: "You go back from Mingdemen!" I want to go by myself, and don't tell your proprietor about this. ”

The coachman was also a little frightened, he nodded, and drove east.

Guo Song walked south along the narrow official road, with large vegetable fields on both sides, and he walked unhurriedly, and the five black-clothed people behind him followed him unhurriedly.

has been out of more than ten miles, the sky is getting dark, Guo Song has already left the official road, came to a forest, there is a small river not far away, here is inaccessible, tonight the wind is high and the moon is dark, it is a good place to kill people, a good time.

Guo Song sat down on a big stone and said coldly: "A few friends, please show up!" ”

I saw five men in black approaching him from three directions, and three more men in black came out of the grove, and eight people surrounded him.

"Who sent you, the Chang family or the Yuan family?"

The eight black-clothed men were all masked, and no one said a word, slowly pulled out their long swords from their waists, and gradually closed them towards Guo Song.

"How many ants want to fight me?"

Guo Song snorted coldly and threw the scabbard aside.

The eight black-clothed men were obviously well-trained killers, they didn't say a word, they rushed up and stabbed with their swords, Guo Song's body was fast like a ghost, and when the opponent's encirclement was not closed, he rushed out of a gap, and with a backhand sword, a human head was chopped out from the back of the neck.

He then rolled forward, but unexpectedly rolled from the side, the black sword swung out, only to hear the continuous clicking and screaming, the two men in black had fallen to the ground, their four feet were all cut off by the black sword Qi ankle, blood splattered everywhere, Guo Song did not give them a way to live, the two swords were split, and the two bodies were immediately separated.

"Tough point, kill him!"

A man in black saw that Guo Song was ruthless, and he let out a low shout, and the five of them swung their swords together, Guo Song blocked left and right, only two of them looked at each other, and two more were stabbed down by him.

When the other three saw that he had killed five people in just a moment, their hearts were chilled, and they began to retreat.

Guo Song didn't give them a chance to escape, rubbed his body, and killed two people in a row, and the last person tried to escape into the woods, Guo Song's black sword had flown out of his hand, and the man only felt a chill in his heart, so he didn't know anything, and he was nailed to the ground alive.

In less than a cup of tea, he killed all eight killers.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of a soo in the woods, as if someone had climbed down from a tree.

Guo Song threw a milk swallow into the forest, flew into the woods, and after a while, he pulled out a man from the woods, the man was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, "I am old and young, Guo Gongzi will spare my life!" ”

"Who are you, who are they, tell me the truth, I will spare you from death, otherwise, I will let you dig your own grave!"

"I say! I say! I am the fourth housekeeper of the Yuan Mansion, the villain's surname is Wu, called Wu Afu, these eight people are all killers hired by the third prince of Yuan at a high price, and if they kill the son, they can each get three hundred taels of silver. ”

"Is the third prince of Yuan the jade sword or the Yuan Demon King?"

"The Jade Sword Princes are the second sons of Yuan, the third prince of Yuan is the Yuan Demon King, and Guo Gongzi killed one of his subordinates on Qingqiu Island, and he holds a grudge."

"Your information is worthless, I can guess it, you can die with peace of mind!"

"I have important news...... "Steward Wu cried on the ground.

Guo Song's sword stopped at his neck, and he said coldly: "Tell me the news that satisfies me, and I can spare you from death!" ”

"I said, Childe must spare me!" Steward Wu was so frightened that he was like sifting chaff.

"Say it!"

"The third son is in.... In the idea of beating Miss Xue, he wanted to disguise himself as a flower thief. ”

"What?"

Guo Song grabbed the butler's shirt and said sharply: "You tell me clearly!" ”

"This kind of thing has been done many times by the third son, whose daughter he fancies, he will send a master to steal her out of a coma, and after he spoils it, he will send it back, these people think it is a flower thief, and they don't dare to say anything, he at least used this method to spoil five girls, he can use it on Miss Xue tonight."

Guo Song was furious and knocked Steward Wu over with a punch, and Steward Wu hugged his head and shouted: "Don't kill me, Son, I still know a secret!" ”

"What a secret, tell me quickly!"

"It's the Jade Sword Prince, his ex-wife didn't die of illness, she was poisoned by him with chronic poison, this secret is only known to very few people, if the son doesn't kill me, I'm willing to testify!"

This was unexpected, Guo Song pondered for a moment and said: "You bury the bodies of these eight people, and then you find a place to hide, where to hide, you have to tell Zhang Dongzhu of the Treasure Pavilion, if you are a little dishonest, not only will I kill you, I will kill all your family, I Guo Song is ruthless, and I have always done what I said!" ”

"The villain must obey!"

Guo Song dropped him, galloped a few steps, turned over a horse, and urged the horse to run towards Qixiamen........

Steward Wu was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, in fact, without Guo Song's explanation, he didn't dare to go back to the Yuan Mansion, he leaked the secret of the two sons, and they would definitely kill him.

Guo Song ran to the outside of Xue's house in Xuanyang Fang, he tied the horse to the tree, jumped over the wall lightly, and fell silently like a fallen leaf in the courtyard where Xue Tao lived.

Guo Song's heart fell to the ground, and at this time, the drum of the closed door had not yet sounded, and it should be that the other party had not yet taken action.

'Shh' Guo Song whistled in a low voice in front of her window, and he immediately regretted it, he was covered in blood and would scare her.

When he was hesitating, Xue Tao had already looked up and saw him, she was suddenly surprised and happy, she saw that the maid was not there, and quickly pointed to the back room.

Guo Song jumped in through the side window and slipped into the back room, Xue Tao pretended to be calm and stood up, walked into the back room quickly, and closed the door casually.

In the dark, the two hugged each other and kissed each other affectionately.

I don't know how long it took, Xue Tao put his arms around Ailang's neck, put his face on his chest and asked with a low smile: "What are you doing at night, do you want to steal incense and jade?" ”

Guo Song smiled bitterly, "I actually came to protect you, didn't you smell blood on me?" ”

Xue Tao exclaimed in a low voice, and hurriedly turned around to light the lamp, she looked Guo Song up and down, and saw that he was covered in blood, she was shocked and said, "Guo Lang, what's going on?" ”

"It was the Yuan Demon King who sent someone to kill me, but he was killed by me, and some of them confessed that the Yuan Demon King would send someone to kidnap you tonight, so I rushed from outside the city."

Xue Tao's face became very pale in an instant, she threw herself into Guo Song's arms, and couldn't help crying: "Guo Lang, take me away!" I was really scared. ”

Guo Song gently stroked her hair and said softly: "I will protect you, with me, no one can touch you." ”

"And where are you tonight?"

Guo Song pointed to the roof and said with a smile: "I will be on your roof, you can sleep in peace and promise that nothing will happen." ”

Xue Tao bit his lip and whispered, "You can stay in my room, Daddy won't know." ”

Guo Song shook his head, "If that's the case, the other party will enter the house, and I won't even give him a chance." ”

He kissed Xue Tao's red lips again, turned around and left, Xue Tao suddenly said, "Guo Lang, wait a minute!" ”

Guo Song stopped again, Xue Tao stepped forward to hug his lower back, and said in a low voice: "I heard my father say today that you were forced to resign, if you want to drive a little, I don't care at all." ”

Guo Song hesitated, turned around and whispered in her ear: "My resignation is a ploy arranged by the Son of Heaven, I am going to do a secret thing for him, and I will not be able to come back in a few months, you can't tell anyone this secret, not even your father." ”

Xue Tao nodded again and again, "I won't say anything." ”

Guo Song said: "I will leave a henchman to protect your family, that is, the Sogdian Han Kangbao you saw, he is absolutely loyal to me, he is strong in martial arts, and he will protect your safety." ”

Guo Song took out the gold box containing the night pearl from his arms, put it in her hand and said softly: "This bead is for you, you have put it away." ”

Xue Tao took off a jade lock from his neck, brought it to Guo Song, and said with a firm gaze: "The concubine's heart is better than the king's heart, and the two compartments will never live up." ”

Guo Song put the jade lock that still had Xue Tao's body temperature close to him, he saluted Xue Tao, turned around and floated away.
