Chapter 73: Who Do You Say You Are?

What kind of person Gu Hengzhou is, Shen Bai couldn't be clearer.

He is definitely not the kind of person who has three wives and four concubines, he carries the Jiangshan Sheji of Zhaoling on his shoulders, and he has the people of Li in his heart, leaving only a very small position for himself, but he can't even tolerate his own joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

How can a person like him have the energy to deal with three wives and four concubines?

Shen Bai looked at the blood-soaked gauze on Gu Hengzhou's eyes, and said seriously: "Although I have the same ambitions and ambitions as Brother Gu, and I want to contribute to the society, I do have great defects in running a family. ”

Gu Hengzhou asked, "How to return?" ”

Shen Bai said tentatively: "In the future, if Brother Gu meets a virtuous and virtuous woman who is gentle and housekeeping, I am willing to sit on an equal footing with her, promise not to be jealous with her, and the two daughters will serve a husband together, how about it?" ”

Never jealous? Two daughters serving a husband?

She thinks beautifully!

Gu Hengzhou grabbed the quilt and rolled Shen Bai into a roll and threw it into the bed.

Shen Bai moved twice like a long worm, poked his head out and asked, "How many men in the world want to enjoy the beauty of Qi people, don't you like Brother Gu?" ”

Gu Hengzhou lay down next to him, and when he heard this, the blue tendons on his forehead jumped, and he asked coldly, "Doesn't your butt hurt anymore?" ”

Shen Baihou shrank his neck in fear, and reminded in a whisper after a while: "Brother Gu, the light is not out." ”

Gu Hengzhou raised his hand and waved out the light.

The room fell into darkness, Shen Bai's buttocks hurt and he couldn't sleep, and his eyes widened looking at the dark bed tent to think about things.

After she woke up, she only thought about expressing her heart to Gu Hengzhou and protecting Gu Hengzhou, but she forgot that Gu Hengzhou had worshiped the church and became a relative in her last life.

Relying on the memories of her previous life, she changed the direction of many things, and it can be regarded as breaking up Gu Hengzhou's original marriage in disguise.

If she meets that woman again in this life, Gu Hengzhou still likes that woman, she doesn't mind that the two daughters serve a husband together, what if people mind?

And I heard that women are very small-minded, and they can't allow their husbands to be shared with others, which will make them jealous in many ways, and they will cry, make trouble, and hang themselves when they are in a hurry, which is really annoying.

But after thinking about it, women like rouge gouache, gold and silver jewelry, Shen Bai has been in Hualou for so many years, and he is extremely proficient in this aspect, it just so happens that Gu Hengzhou's temperament is cold and will not hurt people, Shen Bai can help him buy a lot of clothes for the woman, and dress the woman up as a beautiful girl in Hanshang Beijing, so that the woman should not make trouble.

Shen Bai thought a lot about divergent thinking, and fell asleep after a while.

Shen Bai slept well this night, he didn't dream, but when he opened his eyes the next day, he found that he was sleeping in Gu Hengzhou's arms like yesterday, his two hands were tightly grasping other people's clothes, not to mention, one leg was still on other people's bodies, his lower abdomen was warm, and there was only a slight dull pain.

Shen Bai blinked his eyes, he hadn't fully woken up, and after a while, Gu Hengzhou said coldly: "Don't get up yet?" ”

Shen Bai didn't think about it, and changed the topic: "Brother Gu, why did I sleep in your arms again?" ”

Gu Hengzhou asked rhetorically: "What do you say?" ”

He had a serious face, it really didn't look like he would take Shen Bai into his arms after he fell asleep, Shen Bai just thought that he was a hooligan after he fell asleep, laughed hehe, and got up from the bed.

Outside, Su Qi and they have also risen, He Duo is cooking in the kitchen, Xiao Ling's mother has been dead for several years, his cooking methods are still very rough, thick smoke wafts out of the kitchen, I don't know I think he is burning the kitchen.

Shen Bai entered the house and drove He Duo out, and after lighting the fire, he first boiled hot water to wash, and then boiled some meat porridge.

I ate well last night and rested well, Su Qi's spirit improved a lot, but after changing to a coarse cloth and a short beating, his body looked a little thin, and he lost the elegance and gentleness of the second son of the Su family.

After eating, Su Qi untied the gauze on Gu Hengzhou's eyes and checked it, Gu Hengzhou's poison was not too much, but it dragged on for so many days, missed the best time, and it was more troublesome to treat.

Shen Bai is not afraid of trouble, as long as he can be cured.

Although Shen Bai can really do something to gouge out other people's eyes in exchange for Gu Hengzhou, there is no one in this world whose eyes can look as good as Gu Hengzhou's eyes.

Su Qi gave Gu Hengzhou another medicine, and this time it took a whole hour.

After Su Qi finished taking the medicine, Shen Bai immediately brought hot water to wash his hands, more active than Wang Hu, a little guy.

Su Qi washed his hands slowly, Shen Bai poured a cup of hot tea and put it next to him, and waited for Su Qi to take a sip of the teacup before he began to inquire: "Doctor, listen to Brother Heduo, as soon as you heard that we came from the Dusk Worship City, you rushed over to see us without even asking for the consultation fee, are you in a hurry to go to the Dusk Ceremony?" ”

Gu Hengzhou was sitting next to him, and when he heard Shen Bai's words, his ears moved slightly, and he turned his head to the side to face Su Qi.

Su Qi drank tea for a moment, and after a while, he returned to normal, and said lightly: "It's okay." ”

"Well, I thought I could help." Shen Bai was a little disappointed, and then said happily, "That's okay, Dusk has been making a horse plague recently, all the horses in the city have died, and many people have died, and we were very scared when we fought there." ”

Su Qi's eyebrows furrowed, swallowed the tea, and couldn't help but ask, "With so many people dying in the city, doesn't the city lord care?" ”

It was directly asked to the city lord.

Shen Bai was a little surprised, thought for a while and said: "I heard that the city lord himself is not good, and I don't know if his life is not good, originally the fifth princess of Donghengguo was given to marry the city lord, but as soon as the person arrived in the city, this incident happened, and the princess went back to Hengyang." ”

Syllable!

Su Qi didn't hold the teacup steady, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered directly into slag.

Su Qi tried his best to restrain his facial expressions, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face, and looked at Shen Bai eagerly and asked, "Did the princess really go back to Hengyang?" ”

Shen Bai's mood was very complicated, she guessed that Su Qi might have a sweetheart, but she never expected that his sweetheart would be Miao Ruoxi, the fifth princess of Dongheng Kingdom!

In the previous life, after he rehabilitated the Su family, he became Zhao Che's most trusted imperial doctor, and he often went in and out of the harem to see the ladies of the palaces, Shen Bai inexplicably felt that the green above Zhao Che's head was getting bigger and bigger.

Shen Bai nodded: "Well, before we arrived at the twilight ceremony, the princess set off to return to Hengyang, and now she should have returned to the palace safely." ”

Hearing the words "return to the palace safely", the joy in Su Qi's eyes dissipated, and he gradually lost his soul.

The medicinal materials that Gu Hengzhou needed to treat his eyes were not uncommon, Shen Bai thought about it for a while, and decisively decided to fool Su Qi into going to Hengyang with them.

Shen Bai sighed and said: "The situation in the city of twilight is not very good, and I don't know if this princess was infected with illness when she left, the people in the city of twilight are helpless against the horse plague, if the princess returns to Hengyang and falls ill, I don't know if there is a doctor in Hengyang who can save her." ”

Su Qi pursed his lips, his expression became solemn, Shen Bai pretended not to know anything, and eagerly proposed to Su Qi: "My eldest brother and I are going to Hengyang to find a dart team, and the doctor wants to go to Hengyang together?" If the princess needs treatment, a notice will be posted in the city, the doctor's medical skills are so superb, if the princess is cured, it will definitely be famous in the twilight ceremony. ”

Su Qi lowered his eyes and thought about it, did not immediately reply to Shen Bai, and got up to leave.

After he left, Gu Hengzhou asked coldly, "Does he know that princess?" ”

Shen Bai said: "Not only do you know each other, but you should also have some friendship." ”

Gu Hengzhou is not a person who likes to listen to gossip, he didn't feel hostility from Su Qi, Su Qi was just an ordinary doctor in his eyes, and he didn't want to know the entanglement between Su Qi and Miao Ruoxi.

The money bag on Shen Bai's body was washed away by the water, except for Gu Hengzhou's jade pendant, they didn't have anything of value on them, Shen Bai went to the forest to hunt some prey and came back, which was regarded as a reward for Heduo's father and daughter.

Early in the morning of the second day, Su Qi wrote the prescription for Gu Hengzhou's eyes to Shen Bai, and carefully told Shen Bai to change Gu Hengzhou's medicine every day.

Shen Bai took a careful note and asked Su Qi: "The doctor doesn't plan to go to Hengyang with us?" ”

Su Qi smiled helplessly: "No, there is something at home, I want to go home first." ”

With the look of your face that you can't put down, the ghost believes that you will obediently return to Zhaoling!

Shen Bai slandered, did not expose it, and bowed to Su Qi: "Then I wish the doctor a smooth journey and a safe home." ”

Su Qi bowed his head and left with Wang Hu.

Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou stayed at Heduo's house for another day, and the two went to the forest together to hunt dozens of prey, exchanged an ox cart with the villagers, and exchanged five taels of silver coins, and left slowly.

The mud on the road had been cleaned up, and the two arrived in town after noon, Shen Bai exchanged an ox cart and three taels of silver for a horse with good foot strength, and went to Hengyang with Gu Hengzhou.

Gu Hengzhou is missing, Zhao Che should have personally escorted the return gift to Hengyang with a hundred elites, what happened in the twilight city has to give an explanation to Donghengguo, with those hundred elites, although the monarch of Donghengguo does not dare to take Zhao Che what, but Zhao Che is weak, and it is still very worrying that one person has to face so many people in the Dongheng royal family.

It is faster to take the land route than the water route, although the Moon Bay is downstream of the twilight ceremony, if you travel day and night, you can reach Hengyang in four days at most.

There were only two taels of silver left on his body, Shen Bai didn't dare to stay in the inn for the first two nights, he only bought a few pancakes to satisfy his hunger, and when he was tired, he just found a tree and slept against Gu Hengzhou for a while, but every day he would remember to help Gu Hengzhou change his dressing.

Su Qi's medical skills were excellent, and by the third day, the blisters on Gu Hengzhou's eyelids had scabbed and fallen off, and the injury looked less terrifying than before.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, the two arrived at Chongzhen, which was more than two hundred miles away from Hengyang, and drove for three days, the horse was a little foaming, Shen Bai found an inn to rest, asked for a guest room, and took out a tael of silver to let the guy buy two sets of clean clothes.

The man happily took the money and left, Gu Hengzhou asked in a low voice, "Why only one room?" ”

Hurrying all the way, his throat was a little hoarse, Shen Bai poured a cup of tea from the table in the lobby and handed it to Gu Hengzhou: "Because I'm worried that Brother Gu will leave and I won't be able to take care of myself and accidentally fall, of course I want a room to be more at ease." ”

Gu Hengzhou was expressionless with the tea, afraid that he would be angry and not drink water, Shen Bai said truthfully: "Okay, in fact, we have no money, and we can only afford to open one room at the moment." ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he was miserable again, sighed and said, "Brother Gu, you can't see it now, I've been hungry and thin these days." ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't answer, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

Shen Bai ordered a table of food to be sent into the room, Gu Hengzhou was used to being fed by her, and automatically ignored Shen Bai's unobtrusive words.

After the tacit and harmonious feeding, the guy brought hot water, Gu Hengzhou didn't have time to frown Shen Bai and said first: "Brother Gu, I'm very tired, don't push back with me, you either let me eat here and wash it myself, or I'll help you wash it myself!" ”

After surviving the Kwai Shui, Shen Bai became alive again, relying on Gu Hengzhou's eyes now, and he was very arrogant.

Gu Hengzhou swallowed the words that came to his mouth, pursed his lips and went to take a bath by himself.

Shen Bai was really tired, and he stuffed his back to Gu Hengzhou and stuffed it into his mouth, and he couldn't care about anything else at all.

The guy sent two sets of men's clothes as instructed, Gu Hengzhou finished washing, Shen Bai put the larger set of underwear on him, beckoned the guy to move the used water, and sent a bucket of hot water.

In the past few days, he has been used to getting along with Gu Hengzhou day and night, knowing that he can't see it, Shen Bai is very relieved to pick up his clothes and sit in the barrel.

Hot water wrapped his whole body, instantly taking away the fatigue of the past few days, Shen Bai sighed comfortably, leaned on the wooden barrel and didn't want to move, but he still couldn't help but talk to Gu Hengzhou: "Brother Gu, if Zhaoling's national strength is strong, no foreign enemy dares to invade, and there will be no war in a hundred years, what are you going to do?" ”

Since Emperor Wuzong, Zhaoling has gradually gone from extreme prosperity to decline, and the situation has become more and more tense in recent years, others may not be able to perceive it, but Gu Hengzhou has long smelled the smell of war from the family letter of Zhenguo Gong.

He had been ready to lead troops to the battlefield a long time ago, but he never thought about the kind of life after the war subsided as Shen Bai said.

Zhaoling has not had any major wars over the years, but his father has been at the border pass, and only occasionally can return to Beijing to report on his work, the border pass seems to be home, and the Guogong Mansion is just something built by the imperial court for the world to appreciate, and no matter how rich and valuable the rewards are, they have nothing to do with the town of Guogong.

Even if he doesn't fight, he should be like his father, always guarding the border.

This is the responsibility that the ancestors of the Gu family have shouldered, and it should not be cut off from him.

Gu Hengzhou thought about it, but Shen Bai never got a reply, and couldn't help urging: "Brother Gu? You fell asleep so quickly? ”

"Nope!"

Gu Hengzhou replied, and in order to prove that he was not asleep, he sat up from the bed.

At night, the house had not been lit yet, and it was gray everywhere, Shen Bai was sitting in a wooden barrel facing Gu Hengzhou, there was no screen in the middle, and there was nothing on her body to cover it.

Her body was too tired to move, she sat in the bucket and didn't move, her hair was a little unkempt on her right shoulder, and the ends of her hair were half wet, wet and sticky to her shoulders, making her skin more and more fair and soft.

The water was a little hot, her skin was fumigated red, and there was a small puddle of water in the clavicle socket, which was shiny and lovely, like a small pool, and a small goldfish could be raised in it.

Below her collarbone was a slender white, and the water level reached her chest, and only two small cute soft whites could be faintly seen underwater.

Gu Hengzhou froze, raised his hand and touched his eyes.

After a while, he was about to reapply the medicine, and when he had just taken a shower, he had already removed the gauze, and there was no obstruction in front of him, and everything suddenly and suddenly crashed into his eyes.

Shen Bai kept looking at Gu Hengzhou, and when he saw him raise his hand to wipe his eyes, he suddenly became vigilant and asked with concern: "Is your eye hurt?" ”

Shen Bai stood up as he spoke, Gu Hengzhou immediately turned his head away from looking at her, his ears were uncontrollably hot, and he ordered in a deep voice: "It's okay, stay for me and don't move!" ”

He suddenly became very fierce, Shen Bai was startled, and hurriedly sat back, and couldn't help muttering: "It's okay, it's okay, what do I do, I don't care about you yet." ”

Gu Hengzhou defended: "I didn't murder you." ”

The voice was a little hoarse, and I unconsciously became lustful, and everything I had just seen was still lingering in my mind.

Shen Bai didn't notice Gu Hengzhou's abnormality, he rubbed the handkerchief on his body, and thought vigorously: "It's obviously fierce, I can hear it clearly with my two ears, don't think that the master has no temper, if it weren't for the fact that you jumped off the cliff desperately to save the master, the master would have bitten you a long time ago!" ”

Shen Bai already had an experience in serving people, but he was so-so in taking a bath, and he jumped out after rubbing it three or two times, and he didn't dry the water, and put his underwear on his body directly.

She deliberately asked the guy to cut a long strip of cloth to tie her chest, but during this time, her chest was swollen and painful, anyway, Gu Hengzhou also found out that she was a daughter, Shen Bai was lazy at night, lit the lamp and walked barefoot to Gu Hengzhou to help him clean his eyes and apply medicine.

Knowing that she was dressed, Gu Hengzhou turned his head, and when he saw it, he was immediately angry.

The underwear was thin, she didn't wipe her body, her clothes were wet and mostly stuck to her body, and her soft waist and small and cute soft white loomed.

Shen Bai didn't know that Gu Hengzhou could already see it, so he leaned over to Gu Hengzhou and opened his eyelids to carefully observe the recovery of his eyes.

Shen Bai looked carefully, and saw that the bloodshot under his eyes had dissipated a lot, and his face was relieved, and he comforted briskly: "Brother Gu, I think you will get better soon." ”

The dim and soft light shrouded Shen Bai's face, and Gu Hengzhou saw that her eyes were slowly concerned, bright and clear, without the slightest impurity.

Inexplicably, I can't say the sentence "I can see it" on my lips.

The corners of Gu Hengzhou's lips pursed slightly, and he lowered his eyes and did not look at Shen Bai.

Shen Bai turned his head to bring the water that had been dried before, and his white and tender feet stepped directly on the ground, leaving wet footprints.

I had soaked my feet together before, Gu Hengzhou knew that Shen Bai's feet were small, but he didn't expect them to be so small, it didn't seem to be as big as his palm, his toes were round, and his nails were healthy and pink colors, much cuter than he imagined.

Gu Hengzhou covered his lips and coughed lightly, and reminded in a deep voice: "Put your shoes on!" ”

Shen Bai looked at Gu Hengzhou in surprise and then at his feet, and gave Gu Hengzhou a thumbs up: "Brother Gu, you are too powerful, you can actually hear by hearing that I am not wearing shoes!" ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he jumped around twice in place, and lied with a shy face: "Brother Gu, I have already put on my shoes." ”

Gu Hengzhou: "......"

It seems that the beating last time was really not hard enough!

Gu Hengzhou's eyes were not wrapped in gauze, and his expression was much more vivid when he was angry, Shen Bai was inexplicably a little cowardly, but he obediently put on his shoes and twisted a handkerchief to help him wipe his eyes, afraid that he would be uncomfortable and puffed out his cheeks and blew vigorously.

She has indeed lost a lot of weight along the way, her already petite body is getting weaker and weaker, her chin has become sharper, and her cheeks are bulging and she can barely see a little.

Shen Bai wiped it very carefully, and after wiping it, let Gu Hengzhou close his eyes and rest for a while, and then sat down at the table to pound the medicine.

These medicines were brought from Heduo's house, and they were first pounded into powder, then soaked in gauze with water, soaked for half an hour, and then wrapped around their eyes.

It takes a lot of energy to pound the medicine into powder, and Shen Bai was already very tired, so he yawned three times in a row as soon as he sat down at the table.

She deliberately didn't make a sound, rubbed her eyes after beating, and saw that Gu Hengzhou hadn't closed her eyes yet, so she immediately scolded with a straight face: "Let you close your eyes and rest for a while, why don't you listen?" This is not what I said, it was said by the doctor, don't blame me if there is any disease in your eyes in the future! ”

His eyes hadn't recovered yet, and after looking at it for a while, he felt a burning sensation again, Gu Hengzhou closed his eyes, thinking of Shen Bai's appearance when he had just yawned, and whispered, "I'll make the medicine." ”

Shen Bai directly dismissed: "You save it, with me, it is impossible for you to kill Brother Gu." ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he concentrated on pounding the medicine, and after a stick of incense, the medicine was finally pounded into powder, all poured into the bowl, and washed with water, Shen Bai took out the clean gauze and put it in the bowl to soak, and took out the gauze that had just been changed to wash, and asked the guys in the store to carry out the used bath water and pour it out.

After doing all this, there was still a long time before the gauze was soaked, Shen Bai sat down at the table again, holding his cheeks and staring at the gauze in a daze.

The room was quiet, Gu Hengzhou didn't hear her speak for a while, a little unaccustomed, opened his eyes, but saw her frowning, rubbing her chest with a painful expression, her forehead was jumping, Gu Hengzhou asked coldly, "What are you doing again?" ”

I didn't expect him to speak suddenly, Shen Bai was startled, and when he saw him open his eyes again, he couldn't help but say: "Brother Gu, you can't see it now, don't open your eyes if you have nothing to do, it's scary!" ”

"What are you doing that shady thing?"

Shen Bai rolled her eyes, what could she do that was unseemly?

Sleepy enough, Shen Bai replied lazily: "I'm helping you get medicine, didn't you hear it just now?" ”

When she said this, her hand movements did not stop, and Gu Hengzhou questioned: "That's it?" ”

Shen Bai also lost his temper and snorted: "It's not just that! My chest hurts, can't I rub it? ”

Chest pain?

Thinking of the soft white of the little one just now, Gu Hengzhou frowned slightly: "Did you wrap yourself too hard before?" ”

Shen Baiman didn't care: "Who knows, it's always hurt since I came to Kwai Shui." ”

After rubbing his chest for a while, it didn't hurt so much, Shen Bai stretched his waist and sighed: "When a woman is really tired, don't say that she wants to come to Kwai Shui, there will be such a hindrance in her chest, how will the master fight with people in the future?" ”

Gu Hengzhou felt that his qi and blood were surging a little hard: "You still want to fight with others?" ”

This sentence sounded very dangerous, and Shen Bai hurriedly cleared up the relationship: "I have never provoked others, there are some things that are not long-sighted and want to provoke the master, if the master doesn't beat them to cry and call his mother, he will be sorry for the ancestors of the Shen family!" ”

Are you worthy of your ancestors and ancestors when you fight with others?

Gu Hengzhou pursed his lips and didn't speak again, this kind of thing like fighting, it is true that Shen Bai can't be just one person, as long as someone provokes her, with her temperament, she will inevitably fight with others to the end.

We'll have to think of other ways to do this.

Gu Hengzhou lowered his eyes and thought about it, Shen Bai was so tired that he didn't want to speak, he took a nap with his cheeks, pinched some gauze and fished it out for Gu Hengzhou to wrap, and then fell asleep in the pillow.

After Kwai Shui had passed, her sleeping posture was not honest, and after turning restlessly for a while, Gu Hengzhou raised his hand and scooped the person into his arms.

It's been like this for the past few nights, his body has developed a memory, Shen Bai spontaneously curled up in a ball, the whole person shrank into Gu Hengzhou's arms, hugged his arm and rubbed it gently, and finally fell asleep honestly.

I didn't notice it before, but after seeing her rubbing her chest today, this posture made Gu Hengzhou a little awkward, and he always felt that he was pressed by the arm she was holding to a place where it shouldn't be.

His ears were still very hot, Gu Hengzhou tried to twitch his hand, Shen Bai instinctively hugged it tighter, and the touch of his arm became more and more obvious, and it really pressed on the softness that was completely different from that of the man.

It took a long time for his heart to beat noisily before he regained his composure, and Gu Hengzhou couldn't help but sigh softly.

He really can't do anything about this little liar.

On the second day, the two got up early in the morning and rode from Chongzhen to Hengyang.

Hengyang as the capital of Dongheng Kingdom, is the largest and richest city in Dongheng, its city wall is built in imitation of Hanjing, in order to resist the wind and sand, the city wall is several meters higher than the city wall of Hanjing, there are many totems on the city wall that symbolize the gods in Dongheng Kingdom, looking majestic from afar, there is a very intimidating majesty.

Seeing the city gate, Shen Bai suddenly became energetic, swung a whip hard, and said to Gu Hengzhou: "Brother Gu, we will be able to enter Hengyang soon!" ”

She tied her chest, tied her hair, changed into a man's dress, and became the lawless young master of the Shen family in Tai Academy again.

With gauze wrapped around her eyes, Gu Hengzhou couldn't see what she was dressed today, but his mind was full of her vivid appearance in Tai Academy.

Does he really want her to restore her daughter's body, like other women, without leaving the door, embroidering and playing the piano in the boudoir all day long?

Is she still Shen Bai like that?

Although the appearance of Hengyang City was built in imitation of Hanjing, the streets in the city were not as wide as Hanjing, and the shops on both sides were not as many as Hanjing.

In order to resist the wind and sand, the roofs of the slightly taller buildings in the city will be built in an arc shape, like fortresses.

Hengyang City is the same as the twilight ceremony, the streets and alleys are full of bright and good-looking girls, in autumn, the weather is cooler, the girls put on beautiful shawls, and they also wear all kinds of headscarves and cotton yarns on their heads, and their hands and necks are decorated with all kinds of bracelet bells, and there is a crisp and loud sound between walking, which is very pleasant.

When there were more people in the city, Shen Bai turned over and dismounted, let Gu Hengzhou sit on the horse, pulled the horse forward, and asked people along the way where the post station of the official mansion was.

If there are no accidents, the escort team should stop at the station.

The post station was in the north of the city, and Shen Bai walked for more than half an hour before arriving.

This post station was built when Donghengguo and Zhaoling first established diplomatic relations, and it is the only complete Zhaoling style building in Hengyang City.

It's been almost a month since he left Hanjing, and when he suddenly saw such a building, Shen Bai immediately felt a strong sense of intimacy, and couldn't help but say to Gu Hengzhou: "Brother Gu, I'm a little homesick." ”

In Hanshangjing, she wants money and money, and she wants the little master of Taifu Mansion with identity, and generally no one dares to bully her, leaving Hanshangjing, she has to serve Zhao Che, and she has to serve her sweetheart, and she is proficient in everything she does, which is really incomparable.

Gu Hengzhou didn't have Shen Bai's feelings, for him, as long as the sword was there, the person was there, no matter where he went, it was the same.

When they arrived at the gate of the post station, Shen Bai was about to step forward and ask Zhao Che where they were now, when there was a sound of neat footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, a group of Donghengguo soldiers in armor came running and surrounded the two of them in the middle.

The horse was a little frightened, Gu Hengzhou grabbed the reins of the horse to stabilize the horse, and a little dust was raised on the ground, and then the leader stepped forward and saluted Gu Hengzhou with a fist: "On the orders of the lord and the high priest, welcome His Royal Highness the Prince into the palace, His Royal Highness the Prince of your country is waiting for His Royal Highness in the palace." ”

This person's attitude is quite respectful, which shows that Zhao Che should not be treated harshly in Dongheng Kingdom for the time being.

Shen Bai was a little relieved, and was about to get on the horse and enter the palace with Gu Hengzhou, when a scimitar slashed in front of her, and reminded in a cold voice: "The lord and the high priest only invite His Royal Highness the Prince to enter the palace, and idle people are not allowed to enter!" ”

The master has done all the things that serve people, and when the master is gone, he will become an idle person?

Shen Bai was furious, threw the horsewhip to the ground angrily, and was stepped on like a tail: "Stare at your eyes and take a good look, the master is the only son of the prince of Zhaoling, and after he is a heavy minister, the status of His Royal Highness is not much lower than that of His Royal Highness, you can call the master to wait for an idle person!" ”

Shen Bai's voice was loud, and his momentum was more than twice as high as usual, and the man was a little stunned by the roar, and after a while, he said, "That...... Then you can also enter the palace with you. ”

That's pretty much it!

Shen Bai got back on his horse and followed the group into the palace together.

The security of the Donghengguo Palace was not as strict as that of Zhaoling, and Shen Bai rode directly into the palace.

The palace gates of Dongheng Palace are not as many as Zhaoling, and the route is even simpler, with palace people guiding them all the way, and a quarter of an hour later, Shen Bai saw Zhao Che and Zhou Jue sitting in front of Dongheng Lord, and stopped the reins of the horse from a distance.

The two dismounted, and Shen Bai obeyed the rules and fell half a step behind Gu Hengzhou, reminding Gu Hengzhou in a low voice when there were steps in front of him and when it was time to turn.

Walking closer, Shen Bai saw a silver-haired man wearing a mask sitting next to the Dongheng Kingdom Lord.

The silver-haired man was wearing a pure black dress, covered with a black cloak, and the back of the cloak was embroidered with gold thread with the flamingo, the national bird of Dongheng Kingdom, which was particularly eye-catching among several people.

The man's mask is very special, half is black, half is red, the black half is a smiling face, and the red half is a crying face, Shen Bai has seen it in the book, this kind of mask is called sad and joyful face, and most of the time it is a symbol of bad luck.

The mask blocked the man's face tightly, revealing only a pair of dark eyes like lacquer, but judging from the skin on his hands, he was not very old, and he should be the high priest of Dongheng Kingdom.

The lord of Dongheng Kingdom and the body of Du Kesha are about the same, they are very burly and strong, this lord is almost sixty years old, but his spirit is still very good, he sat with the high priest, and when he saw Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou coming, the two of them came together and whispered, and it seemed that the relationship was very close.

Zhao Che and Zhou Jue have both revealed their true identities, sitting next to them in luxurious clothes, there is nothing to hide, and the nobility cultivated in Hanshangjing is revealed from their bones.

Zhao Che is the prince of a country, and when they see Shen Bai, they can still hold back their expressions, but Zhou Jue can't hide the excitement on his face.

After the two fell into the water, Zhou Jue personally led people to look for them along the river but did not find anyone, and thought that both of them had unfortunately died in the river, and he was very excited to see them coming alive at this time, but seeing Gu Hengzhou's eyes wrapped in gauze, Zhou Jue's eyes couldn't help but flash anxiety, but because of the presence of the lord and the high priest, it was not easy to show it.

Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou quickly walked in front of the four of them, and Gu Hengzhou took the lead in saluting: "Gu Hengzhou, the commander of the camp of Zhaoling Hanjing, has met the lord of Dongheng Kingdom and the high priest!" ”

Shen Bai followed and saluted: "Zhaoling Tanhualang Shen Bai, meet the lord and the high priest!" ”

The lord had a smile on his face, looking very kind, and he raised his hand slightly and said, "No need to be polite, sit down." ”

Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou sat down in the two empty seats, Gu Hengzhou sat opposite the lord, and Shen Bai happened to face the high priest.

The high priest had been lowering his eyes before, looking at the teacup in front of him casually, but as soon as Shen Bai sat down, he lifted his eyes straight and looked over.

I don't know if it's because of the mask, his eyes are pitch black, and there is no light at all, like two bottomless abysses, trying to absorb everything in the world into them.

Shen Bai was inexplicably a little uncomfortable by him, his brows furrowed slightly, and the lord had already looked at Gu Hengzhou and asked: "I heard that you accidentally fell into the Hengxiang River, and there was a flash flood in the river at that time, it is really amazing to survive." ”

Dongheng people believe in the gods, the Hengxiang River that runs through the entire border is with deep reverence, every year the water level of the Hengxiang River rises, there will be many people die in the river, they regard this is the god in the river to carry out the will of God, and the people who can escape from the death in the river are regarded as unusual people of heaven.

Gu Hengzhou couldn't understand these thoughts of Dongheng people very well, and said lightly: "Maybe it's my life that shouldn't be killed." ”

It was not easy to continue the conversation, but the lord didn't mind, and seeing that his face was wrapped in gauze, he asked with concern, "Are your eyes okay?" ”

Without waiting for Gu Hengzhou to answer, Shen Bai preemptively said: "Back to the Lord Monarch, Brother Gu's eyes are not very good, he was injured in the territory of Dongheng Kingdom, I don't know if the Lord Monarch has found the traces of those assassins?" I don't think they're any ordinary bandits. ”

Since it was injured within the territory of Donghengguo, the responsibility should be borne by Donghengguo.

Shen Bai went straight to the point as soon as he came up, the lord didn't pay attention to her before, and only when he heard her speak did his eyes fall on her.

Like Gu Hengzhou, she is wearing the most ordinary and cheap cotton and linen kaftan, the color of the caftan is gray, it looks a bit like wearing old clothes for many years, Gu Hengzhou has been practicing martial arts all year round, he is tall and strong, and he has the aura of a strong man, and he can't hide his extraordinary temperament when he wears this clothes.

Shen Bai looked very ordinary next to him, but her small face was handsome, her eyes were smart and clear, and she could see that she was different from others when she looked closely.

The lord recalled Shen Bai's introduction just now, and the corners of his lips slightly raised to show a kind smile: "I remember your father, he is a very talented person. ”

This sovereign had personally been to Hanjing when Emperor Hengde was married, and it was not surprising that he had seen Shen Ruxiu.

Shen Bai also laughed, and patted his ass with kindness: "The lord really has a good memory, and my father has also mentioned it many times, saying that the lord Wen Taowu is on a par with our majesty, no matter how tricky it is, it can be solved quickly, and I believe that the accident that happened this time is the same." ”

Shen Bai pulled the topic back after patting the fart, the lord had never seen Shen Bai's hob meat, and couldn't help laughing: "I have already discussed this matter with your prince, the assassin is not from our Dongheng Kingdom, you can investigate it yourself after you go back." ”

Figured it out so quickly?

Shen Bai was surprised, and hurriedly apologized: "It turns out that I misunderstood, and please don't be angry, I will punish myself with a cup to make amends to the lord!" ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he picked up the glass of wine in front of him and was about to drink it, when the high priest who had been sitting next to him and had not spoken suddenly spoke: "Who did you just say?" ”

The high priest's voice was good, smooth and breezy, like a good-tempered young man, but the words he spoke were cold, without a trace of emotional fluctuations.

Shen Bai stopped, a little strange why the high priest asked him this, but he still spoke truthfully: "Back to the high priest, my name is Shen Bai, and I am the only son of Shen Ruxiu, the prince of the Zhaoling Dynasty. ”

The high priest said, "Come here, give me your hand!" ”

As soon as this request was made, the atmosphere present suddenly changed, Shen Bai held the wine glass with an inexplicable expression, what is the matter with this high priest, doesn't he have a habit of showing people palmistry?

Shen Bai put down the cup, didn't get up in a hurry, and asked tentatively, "Dare to ask the high priest what is this going to do?" ”

The high priest looked at her fixedly and didn't speak, his expression was all hidden under that sad and joyful face, staring at people like this, it was easy to make people feel weird and uneasy, and for a moment Shen Bai even felt that someone in his ear was emitting a sharp and piercing laugh and a sad wail at the same time.

The back was cold, and the heartbeat was a little abnormal, Shen Bai's forehead was drenched in fine cold sweat, and his breathing became rapid, as if he had suddenly been pressed into the water, and he couldn't breathe.

The feeling of suffocation hit, seeing that he was about to drown, his wrist was suddenly grabbed, the hot temperature of his palm broke the strange feeling, and his breathing poured into his lungs again, and Shen Bai was a little weak.

Gu Hengzhou's eyes looked at the high priest coldly: "If the high priest has something to say, he can say it directly." ”

Shen Bai's heart was still beating fast, and his head was a little groggy, as if he had suddenly contracted a heavy wind chill.

The High Priest looked away and abruptly got up and left.

The lord did not expect him to leave the table suddenly, looked at him in surprise, and was about to stop him, but the sad and joyful face on the high priest's face suddenly fell and smashed to the ground and shattered into slag.

The face of the lord suddenly became ugly, this sad and joyful face was handed down by the successive high priests of Dongheng Kingdom, which was almost equivalent to the jade seal of Zhaoling.

This thing has been preserved for hundreds of years without the slightest damage, but after seeing Shen Bai, it fell inexplicably and shattered directly into slag.

The Lord Monarch turned his head to look at Shen Bai and said something similar to that of the High Priest: "Who are you again?" ”
