Volume I: Chapter 88 Lies
"Captain Cheng, you are the same too! I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you still can't say good things! And I'm seeing that you're getting older! Gu Liang sneered at Cheng Qilu.
When Cheng Qi heard this, he suddenly questioned Gu Liangyuan with dissatisfaction: "Hey, can you speak?" General Gu Liang, what does it mean to 'become more and more old'? Am I that old? I guess I'm not a few years older than you! ”
"I'm sorry, Captain Cheng, it's a slip of my tongue, it's a slip of the tongue. Actually, what I really want to say is 'sophisticated', not 'old', I want to praise you for becoming more sophisticated! Gu Liangyuan changed his words and explained to Cheng Qilu.
"It's like a human saying!" Cheng Qilu pursed his lips and said.
In fact, regardless of their different positions and identities, Cheng Qilu and Gu Liangyuan are still very similar, they are both rectums who can't say good things, and they are both acute children who can't get into trouble but have brains.
Cheng Qilu and Gu Liangyuan, who are reckless and dull by nature, if they can get along calmly and without barriers, they must be a pair of good brothers who cherish each other. It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, and they are destined to be enemies. I hope that this hostile relationship will not last too long; Hopefully, the relationship between their descendants will break this hostile impasse for them.
After greeting each other unkindly, Cheng Qilu and Gu Liangyuan didn't seem to have any intention of separating. Of course, it is not that they are reluctant to each other, but they are all trying to find out what news from each other's mouths.
So I could only hear Gu Liangyuan, who was in a foreign land, the first to speak, and Cheng Qilu, who was about to speak, asked again and again: "Cheng Taiwei, shouldn't your Taiwei Mansion be in Luling City, the imperial capital?" And aren't you supposed to serve in the imperial capital as well? How could you have the time to appear in this blessed city? ”
"I'm here to attend the faint ceremony in this Jinhong Water Heart Castle, this is a lifelong event for others, since they have invited me, even if I am not available, then I have to take the time to come to the invitation, right? General Gu Liang. Cheng Qilu pointed to the Jinhong Water Heart Fort sitting on the side and replied, but he never mentioned that Gongsun Xianye was also here.
As everyone knows, Gu Liangyuan has already learned the news that the prince of the Celestial Dynasty is in Jinhong Shuixin Castle, and he has already seen Gongsun Xianye who is staying alone in the courtyard of Jinhong Shuixin Castle.
However, Cheng Qilu did not mention anything related to the prince of the Celestial Empire, which is enough to prove that Cheng Qilu, who is in a high position and has been trained for many years, already knows the benefits and disadvantages, and has already divided the priorities, and he has also known what to say and what not to say, and he is no longer the reckless horseman who only knows how to pick up thousands of troops back then.
"Jinhong Water Heart Castle? It turns out that this gorgeous mansion is called 'Jinhong Water Heart Castle'! Gu Liangyuan pointed to the Jinhong Water Heart Fort sitting on the side, and pretended to suddenly realize and said to Cheng Qilu.
"Yes, this is Jinhong Water Heart Fort, doesn't General Gu Liang know?" Cheng Qilu tentatively asked Gu Liang Yuandao.
"I was born outside the Vermilion Bird Pass, grew up outside the Vermilion Bird Pass, and stayed outside the Vermilion Bird Pass for more than ten years, the last time I set foot on the land of the Celestial Empire was more than ten years ago, let alone come to this Fuling City, where do I know what this fort is, that fort." Gu Liangyuan deliberately said sloppily to Cheng Qilu.
"That's right! After all, it has been fifteen years since the Battle of the Deer, and when the Battle of the Deer is full of smoke, who cares about knowing the name of the fort? Cheng Qilu agreed with Gu Liangyuan.
"But then again, Captain Cheng, who is the family living in this Jinhong Water Heart Fort? He actually invited the captain of the court to come to the wedding banquet. Gu Liangyuan pretended to know nothing and asked Cheng Qilu Dao.
"You don't know this, General Gu Liang, the Jinhong Shuixin Baili family that lives in this Jinhong Shuixin Fort is the home of our Celestial Empire Empress; And today, the person who married in this Jinhong Water Heart Fort is the cousin of our queen's mother. Cheng Qilu truthfully informed Yu Guliang Yuandao.
"Oh, no wonder! No wonder the Lord Taiwei was invited, it turned out to be the queen's cousin to marry! Gu Liangyuan pretended to suddenly come to his senses.
"Oh, that's not right! General Gu Liang, why are you here? I haven't heard that this Jin Hongshui Xin Baili family also has a relationship with people outside the Guan! Cheng Qilu also pretended to ask Gu Liangyuan as if he had just woken up from a dream, in fact, he had long wanted to ask Gu Liangyuan this question.
"Look at what you said, Captain Cheng, I don't even know whose family this is, how can I have any relationship with this family?" Gu Liang responded under the pretext of covering up.
"Then why are you here? General Gu Liang. Cheng Qilu asked Gu Liang Yuan Dao step by step.
"I came to visit my old friend in this Fuling City, his hometown is in this Fuling City, and they are all brothers who died on the battlefield back then. It's just that his fate is not good, and after he was wounded in the battle of the deer, he delayed the time for diagnosis and treatment, so that after his injuries were healed, he could not walk far with a limp; Therefore, if I wanted to see him, I had to trek through mountains and rivers and travel thousands of miles to visit him in person, in his blessed hometown. Gu Liangyuan replied fabricatedly.
However, although Gu Liangyuan is a fabrication, it happens to have some factual basis. After all, Yu Yin, who he really wanted to see on this trip, had also been injured recently; After the injury is healed, it occasionally limps, and it can't go too far.
It's just that, unlike the unwarranted wounded soldier in Gu Liangyuan's lie, Yu Yin's post-injury symptoms are only temporary.
"I see!" Cheng Qilu said suspiciously.
I have to say that Gu Liangyuan, who practices martial arts freely, does not understand literature and ink, and has a rigid mind, although his performance in dealing with emergencies at this moment is not outstanding, and even full of loopholes; But for Gu Liangyuan, who is not flexible, it can be regarded as an extraordinary performance and worthy of praise.
In this way, Cheng Qilu and Gu Liangyuan chatted for a long time, with a rake in the east and a broom in the west; However, the two of them, who were tighter than each other, failed to extract any useful information from anyone.
Although in a moment and a half, a year and a half, Cheng Qilu and Gu Liang were difficult to sympathize with each other; But at this moment, the two can also be called chess rivals, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
At the same time that Gu Liangyuan and Cheng Qilu, who had reunited in the old rain, had an unfriendly conversation, Yu Yin and Zhong Daxuan, who were the first to leave Gu Liangyuan's side, had already walked to the middle of the courtyard of the annex at this moment.
"Yu Yin, why do I inexplicably think that the reunion between your old friends is a little sneaky?" Zhong Daxuan expressed his inner feelings to Yu Yin.
"Isn't that normal! How can there be sneaky? Brother Xu, everything is just your illusion. Yu Yin disguised himself as misleading Zhong Daxuan.
"Since it's not sneaky, why don't you meet openly in the fort, and choose to meet here in all directions?" Zhong Daxuan still questioned Yu Yindao.
"Brother Da Xuan, don't you take a look at Brother Yuan's outfit full of rivers and lakes, where is it suitable to appear on an occasion like a wedding banquet in the front yard of the main house? If he stops among those dignitaries and dignitaries, it will be more dazzling and embarrassing for him! As for Sister Sheng'er, she is young and beautiful, if I reunite with her in front of everyone, and then introduce you to her, it will be easy to cause misunderstandings, and how bad it will be for the reputation of other girls! Isn't that reasonable, you say? Brother Da Xu. Yu Yin asked Zhong Daxuan in a rhetorical manner.
Zhong Daxuan heard it and pondered it, it is indeed such a reason.
So Zhong Daxuan immediately dispelled all the doubts in his heart, changed his tone and praised Yu Yin repeatedly: "It's such a reason, it's such a reason, how else can you say that you are sensitive and wise?" Yu Yin, in the final analysis, you still think about it thoughtfully and comprehensively. ”
However, unfortunately, Yu Yin, who had just successfully persuaded Zhong Daxuan, turned his face and ran into Gongsun Xianye who popped out of nowhere.
"Urushi, Da Xuan, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the front yard to help greet guests? It's not dark yet, so the wedding feast won't be over so early, right? As soon as Gongsun Xianye saw Yu Yin and Zhong Daxuan, he asked again and again.
When Yu Yin heard this, he hurriedly avoided the weight and replied lightly: "It's not scattered, it's not dispersed, the guests from all over the world are drinking vigorously!" How could it be so early to disperse? ”
"Yes, since the wedding banquet has not dispersed, and the guests from all over the world have not left, how can the two of you still have the leisure to come to this annex? Don't you need your help in the front yard? Gongsun Xianye continued to ask Yu Yin and Zhong Daxuan reluctantly.
Yu Yin, who was afraid that Zhong Daxuan would take the lead to confide the truth to Gongsun Xianye, would have time to think about it in the future, so he blurted out and prevaricated Gongsun Xianye: "Yes, yes, it's because we need our help in the front yard that we will appear here!" Because we are here to help deliver guests, there are always guests who are not greedy for a cup and are in a hurry to go home! ”
In the end, it is inevitable that the answer blurted out before the brain is full of loopholes.
As soon as Yu Yin's words came out, Zhong Daxuan, who heard it on the side, instantly heard that Yu Yin was deliberately lying, and even Gongsun Xianye, who didn't know the ins and outs, heard it, and suddenly saw through Yu Yin's naked lie in his heart.
It's just that Zhong Daxuan, who heard that Yu Yin was lying, asked Yu Yin two sentences in confusion at most, and Yu Yin casually prevaricated two sentences, because Zhong Daxuan was always on the same trench as Yu Yin, because Zhong Daxuan always believed in and supported Yu Yin unconditionally.
As the prince of the Celestial Dynasty, Gongsun Xianye is different, Mo said that his identity was born with a collision with Yu Yin's true identity, and friction will inevitably occur in the future; Just to say that the reason why Gongsun Xianye was able to instantly expose Yu Yin's lies in his heart at this moment was because when Yu Yin and Zhong Daxuan rushed from the main house of Jinhong Shuixin Fort to the gate of the annex side by side, Gongsun Xianye, who did not know where to go, was standing in front of the railing on the seventh floor of Chunhe Building, with a bird's-eye view of everything in the annex courtyard, including Yu Yin and Zhong Daxuan, and there was no guest beside them.
