Before today, if anyone told me that one day I would almost choke to death because I saw someone, I would never believe it.

Quickly poured in two more mouthfuls of water, and I bent down and coughed several times before I could barely calm down.

"You, your master's servants are too inferior, aren't they?" I said hatefully.

"I'm so sorry." Chen Yi hugged his fists, "It's rude." ”

Sometimes I really don't understand how Gu Yuancheng's scheming and invincible guy cultivated such a polite subordinate.

Is...... If you really want to get angry, there is nowhere to go.

"Why are you here? What about Gu Yuancheng? I asked, putting down the teacup.

Chen Yi replied to me very respectfully, "Shen Xiang, the garrison in your mansion is too strict, and my young master said that he didn't want to be too public, so he sent me to bring you a message." ”

Don't want to be too flamboyant?

I twitched the corners of my mouth.

I don't think I want to be a street rat.

"Tell me, what's the news?" I flipped through the book in my hand and said.

Chen Yi said, "My young master said that tonight, he wants to have a drink with you in the drunken painting boat on the Yuehuai River, please be sure to enjoy it." ”

Drunk on the boat?

"That's a place of merry fireworks, are you sure your young master is talking about that?" I'm a little skeptical.

If you want to talk about the drunken painting boat on the Huai River this month, a bit of identity, I'm afraid there is no one who hasn't heard of this place, when I was still the emperor's staff, I secretly went there many times, for this reason, I almost didn't even have the whereabouts of the next meal.

Where would Gu Yuancheng choose? It seems that as long as you are a man, you can't resist the temptation of a beautiful woman.

"That's it." Chen Yi is sure.

"Okay." I closed the book, "You go and tell your young master that if he is willing to entertain him, he will definitely come to the table." ”

Chen Yi nodded and said, "I'll leave first." ”

After he finished speaking, as soon as I lowered my head, Chen Yi disappeared.

At this speed, what are you doing in a hurry? Originally, I wanted him to send something to Gu Yuancheng by the way, but since he walked so fast, then I could only bring it to him at night.

Putting down what I had just held, I picked up the book again.

At ten o'clock in the evening, I casually found some excuse to support Sun Hu and Wang Jie, and came to the bank of the Yuehuai River alone.

From a distance, you can see countless lights flickering, reflecting the misty twilight and the long river like a ribbon, a blur, a dazzling.

The silk and bamboo on the water surround the riverside, and the painting boat is charming.

Ask you how sad it is to come here, half to get drunk and half to seek shore.

Under this bustling hustle and bustle, I saw at a glance the plain white clothes standing on the riverside.

He wasn't waiting for me in the boat.

"Very punctual." Gu Yuancheng nodded as if in praise.

Phew!

A smile appeared on my face, "Gu Xiang has an appointment, how dare you be late?" ”

Gu Yuancheng also looked at me with a smile, and he pointed to the boat behind him, "Shen Xiang, do you have the courage to ride this boat with me?" ”

I secretly glanced at the small boat, which was only big enough for two people, and my heart couldn't help but drum.

This Gu Yuancheng, what kind of moth does he want to play?

I shrugged my shoulders, and my face was calm, "I can't rock the boat, if Gu Xiang knows, I am naturally willing to be with Gu Xiang." ”

Gu Yuancheng made a gesture of invitation, and said, "I only learned how to rock a boat yesterday, so I guess there is no big problem to get to the painting boat from here." ”

......, I showed a very relieved look, "Gu Xiang is talented and intelligent, and I absolutely believe in Gu Xiang's ability." ”

Gu Yuancheng raised his eyebrows, "Then please ask Shen Xiang to go up." ”

I laughed, but my feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and I couldn't move.

Gu Yuancheng didn't move when he saw me, he didn't urge me, and stood patiently by the boat waiting for me.

This isn't serious, is it?

My heart sank, and I felt like the smile on my face was about to be overwhelmed.

"I remember that there is a kind of secret wine made by their family on the Tiandrunken Painting Boat, this wine is mellow and moisturizing, cold as frost, but a glass is drunk, I don't know if Gu Xiang knows what the name of this wine is?" I put my hands in my sleeves and approached Gu Yuancheng while chatting.

Gu Yuancheng really thought about it seriously, but when I got in front of him, he didn't come up with the name of the wine. He shook his head at me suspiciously, "I rarely drink alcohol on weekdays, but Shen Xiang laughs at it." ”

I looked up at him, the corners of my mouth hooked upward. When I got on the wrong boat with him, I whispered in his ear, "This wine is called 'Corpse Sinking.'" ”

His pupils shrank, and Gu Yuancheng closed his eyes and smiled.

He jumped into the boat after I got into the boat, and the movement was so loud that the water splashed everywhere, and I was almost shaken off by him before I could sit down.

"You ......," I immediately turned around and glared at him.

"Shen is quite concerned, the boat is narrow, and it will fall down if it is not very good." Gu Yuancheng's face was full of concern.

The cold light in my eyes directly pressed Gu Yuancheng, but there was a smirk on my face, "Thank you Gu Xiang for reminding me." ”

Gu Yuancheng was proud in his heart, his face was not shocked, and he waved his hand in an air, "Where, Shen Xiang is polite." ”

"Gu Xiang." I gritted my teeth, "It's time for you to rock the boat." ”

Gu Yuancheng seemed to have just remembered what he was going to do, and immediately took the oar.

The oars of the boat stretched into the water, and the cold river water flowed through the lower end of the oars, and there was no bottom in the night.

"Oops!" After only a few rows, the boat was not far from the shore, and Gu Yuancheng exclaimed.

The time was too short, and I didn't realize what was happening, but with my years of understanding of Gu Yuancheng, I still quickly approached him, and a dagger peeked out of my sleeve and pressed against his neck.

At this moment, several swords had already stabbed out from the bottom of the boat in the seat where we were sitting, and under the light of the wind and moon, the forest was cold.

"It's dark tonight, but the lantern on that building is very bright." I approached Gu Yuancheng without smiling, "Gu Xiang is doing this, is he looking down on me?" Or maybe ...... "cold eyes" Gu Xiang is ready to fight with me? ”

Gu Yuancheng spread his hands innocently, "That's not my person." ”

As soon as his words fell, I found in an instant that several ink arrows in the black curtain were silently flying from my right rear, I immediately withdrew the dagger, and the whole person turned over from Gu Yuancheng's side, directly pushing Gu Yuancheng forward, and Gu Yuancheng became my shield.

Gu Yuancheng didn't expect me to be so polite, his face turned dark, and he picked up the oars in his hand and blocked all those dark arrows.

"Gu Xiang is really strong in martial arts." I saw that Gu Yuancheng's face was not good, and I thought about how people could block the arrows for me, so I praised it.

Gu Yuancheng looked at me with pity, I stared at his movements, and saw that Gu Yuancheng was about to tear his face and start to move with me, and suddenly, his eyes moved behind me.

Bad.

Almost at the same moment, I turned around, the dagger in my sleeve was drawn, and with a throw of my hand, a black shadow suddenly fell into the icy water of the Yuehuai River.

"It seems that there are a lot of people who want to take Gu Xiang's life?" I squinted at the man in black who appeared out of nowhere in front of me, and slowly pulled out the soft sword hidden at my waist.

Gu Yuancheng glanced at me and sneered, "There are so many people, I'm afraid there are also many people who want Shen Xiangxiang's head, right?" ”

Well, I shut up.

When a large number of men in black attacked us, I couldn't help but think that there must be more people trying to kill him than me, so should I help them? Or do you want to solve it all together?

But apparently I'm overthinking.

Because Gu Yuancheng also thought so.

So, looking at each other tacitly, I took out my sword, he danced, and the two of us identified the assassins of each other one by one in the dark night, and then solved them one by one.

When the last man in black was whining in our hands, I looked at Yuehuai, who was full of floating corpses, and said with a calm face, "Gu Yuancheng, how many people have you killed?" ”

Gu Yuancheng threw the blood-stained oars in his hand casually, and said lightly, "You care about this, don't you think it's ridiculous?" ”

I lowered my gaze and whispered, "Forty-three." Gu Yuancheng, there are forty-three killers sent to take your life. Forty-three ......"

"Huh." Gu Yuancheng disdainful, "It's just an assassination, don't you have much experience?" ”

I threw the soft sword into the river, as if I could throw away the last bit of unwillingness in my heart.

I said, "You came to Qinguo, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Gu Yuancheng looked at the brilliant lights not far away, brushed down his sleeves, and said, "There is one thing, I tracked it down." ”

"Gangnam's business?" I know.

"Relevant." Gu Yuancheng said.

I was silent for a moment.

"The banquet has been prepared, Shen Xiang is not guarding against it while enjoying it and slowly thinking about it?" Gu Yuancheng looked at the small boat slowly coming towards this side in the distance and spoke.

I followed his gaze and saw Chen Yi rocking a small boat towards us, the flickering water light reflected Chen Yi's beautiful face, and I suddenly felt that this kid was pleasing to the eye.

"Young Master, Shen Xiang, please get on the boat." Chen Yi saluted us.

Without waiting for Gu Yuancheng to speak, I immediately jumped on the boat.

To tell the truth, this boat has been pierced with a lot of holes, just now Gu Yuancheng and I relied on such a broken boat to fight with the enemy, if it wasn't for Chen Yi to appear in time, I'm afraid I would have to go to Huangquan with Gu Yuancheng.

Either way, I don't want to be there for a moment.

Seeing me like this, Chen Yi naturally got out of the way with a good temper, and deliberately stabilized the boat so that I wouldn't fall due to the shaking of the hull, as for Gu Yuancheng, he naturally didn't have a good face, but I didn't bother to care about him.

After Gu Yuancheng sat down beside me, the boat moved towards the painting boat.

"Gu Yuancheng, are you afraid of death?" I asked him.

Gu Yuancheng leaned back and lay in the boat.

"I am human, and everyone is afraid of death."

"You said you wanted to be a luthier?" I asked again.

"Hmm." He replied.

"I didn't hear it too clearly last time in You Fenglou, although there is no piano now, can you sing the last part to listen to it?"

Gu Yuancheng didn't refuse me, but asked, "What do you want to hear?" ”

"Whatever you want." I said.

Gu Yuancheng raised his eyes to look at the stars in the sky, thought about it for a while, and then sang.

"Hibiscus falls into the sky and water, and the sun rises at dusk.

The back flies and the swallows stick to the clouds, and they look at the east side of the small building.

Fusheng only respects the old man, and the snow is full of Chang'an Road.

The deceased raised the platform in the morning and evening, and gave me a plum in the spring of the south of the Yangtze River. ”
