Chapter 127: Confidants on the Road Ahead

Mo Zi's sudden change of hexagram caught Zu Ting and Luo Ti off guard!

King Lanling held the letter in his hand at this time, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this handwriting is indeed very similar to that of the minister, but it is still different from the handwriting of Weichen. The person who writes the letter has a habit of elongating the hook when he lifts the pen obliquely. ”

Gao Changgong pointed out the words "I" and "must" on the letter to the emperor, and said: "If you don't look closely, you can't see it." And Weichen does not have this habit of writing, it can be seen that someone is imitating the handwriting of the minister. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can compare the handwriting with the folds handed in by the minister. ”

Gao Wei nodded, and sent the chamberlain to fetch the fold handed over by Gao Changgong.

Zu Ting was dripping in cold sweat, remembering that Mo Ziwei promised him to steal the manuscript of King Lanling and find a master of imitation characters to imitate King Lanling's handwriting, Mo Ziwei also "deliberately" pointed to the words on it to remind him that King Lanling had the habit of lengthening the hook when writing. Unexpectedly, this is a game that the two of them have set up a long time ago, just waiting for him to jump down!

Things have come to this point, no matter what, he can't admit that he framed Gao Changgong, only by biting himself to death and not intentionally framing him, can he have a chance of survival.

Gao Wei read the excerpt, and after some comparison, it was confirmed that the letter was indeed not the handwriting of King Lanling.

Gao Weisen stared at Zu Ting solemnly, "Zu Ting, are you guilty?" ”

Zu Ting hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know what's going on, the minister is wronged!" ”

Gao Wei said coldly: "You don't know, you don't know if you are planning to frame the King of Lanling!" ”

Zu Ting still knelt on the ground and shouted grievances, Gao Wei said impatiently: "Come on, escort Zu Ting to Dali Temple for me, and wait for the fate." As for Locky—"

Gao Wei stared at the trembling Luo Ti and said, "Listen to the rumors and slander the King of Lanling, so unclear about right and wrong, you don't have to do the position of Shangshu anymore." Come on, send Luo Ti out of the palace! ”

Zu Ting and Luo Ti, one was put in prison, and the other was dismissed and sent away.

The emperor said apologetically: "Fourth brother, today's incident is all the fault of the ancestral court, and I will definitely punish him severely!" ”

Gao Changgong looked at this little brother who used to follow him, but now he has grown into a more and more suspicious young emperor, listening to and believing partially, and pushing the fault to others, he can only sigh in his heart.

Mo Ziwu and Gao Changgong went out of the palace gate, and found that Luo Ti was waiting for them at the palace gate, so they came up and said: "Gao Changgong, Mo Ziwu, you actually came to harm me." Do you think you have won, I tell you, when your majesty remembers me, I will return it to you a thousand times! ”

Looking at Luo Ti's indignant appearance, Mo Ziwu chuckled and said, "Lord Wang, let's go, don't pay attention to this madman." ”

Luo Ti's stomach was full of anger, and he stopped in front of them and said: "Gao Changgong, you are a prince in vain, and you don't even know that your wife and Mo Ziwei have a personal relationship, you are really a wretch!" ”

Gao Changgong was stunned.

Mo Ziwu said frankly: "Luo Ti, what's the point of you climbing and biting like this?" What kind of person is Madame, and what kind of person I am, doesn't the prince understand? ”

Gao Changgong came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Luo Ti, you have been dismissed, if you talk nonsense again, beware of Your Majesty to punish you for another crime of gaffe." ”

Luo Ti was stunned.

Mo Ziwu and King Lanling smiled faintly and crossed over Luo Ti.

Luo reminded God and said unwillingly behind his back: "Mo Ziwu, do you dare to swear to the sky that you don't have the slightest thought about Concubine Qingbian?" ”

"Gao Changgong, wake up, Mo Zi is worried about looking at your wife's eyes, a fool can see that there is a problem!"

The smile on Mo Ziwu's face froze, and the smile on Gao Changgong's face disappeared. After a few moments, the two looked at each other, smiled, and left together. It's just that smile, in the end, a little more reluctant.

——

I wandered at the door of the house, uneasy. More anxious than me is Zheng Shuyao, she hasn't drunk a sip of water since the morning, and has been waiting for Gao Changgong to come back at the door.

But when I saw a person outside the door, the moon was white and long-sleeved, the demeanor was like jade, walking slowly, like the moon and the stars, who else was not Gao Changgong?

"Lord Wang!" Zheng Shuyao lost her previous indifference and greeted her in surprise.

Gao Changgong was also very happy, "Shu Yao, Ah Qing!" ”

I saw Mo Ziwei behind Gao Changgong, dressed in a green shirt and neutral, clear and elegant. A swordsman as chic as a strong bamboo breeze, his light is hidden behind the demeanor of a tall and long Gong immortal.

I retracted my gaze, turned to Gao Changgong, and asked, "Lord Wang, has Your Majesty embarrassed you?" ”

"It's okay." Gao Changgong smiled like a sunny day and said, "Thanks to Brother Mo today, I can come back safe and sound." ”

Zheng Shuyao and I looked at Mo Ziwu and Gao Changgong suspiciously, Gao Changgong pulled Zheng Shuyao into the mansion, and along the way, we told us what happened in the Zhaoyang Hall this morning.

Only then did I know that it turned out that he and Mo Ziwu were planning to make a plan, and they teamed up to set up a trap and put Zu Ting in prison.

"Senior brother, thank you for saving the prince." Zheng Shuyao thanked Mo Ziwei.

Just when he was happy, Gao Changgong suddenly thought of something and said sadly: "I can be regarded as avenging General Hu Lu." It's a pity that Henga doesn't know where he is now, and if he knows this news, he will definitely be very happy. ”

Gao Changgong sent someone to investigate, and the reason why so many weapons and armor were found in Hu Lu Mansion was because the ancestral court bribed the army on Hu Lu Guang Mansion, and asked him to hide the weapons and armor in the wood needed to repair Hu Lu Guang when Hu Lu Guang was repairing the mansion, and unknowingly transported them into Hu Lu Mansion, which confirmed Hu Lu Guang's crime of rebellion.

I comforted him, "Don't worry, the Hulu Hengjiaji people have their own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine." ”

As he spoke, he walked through the central hall, and when he passed the central hall, the servants of the house were standing on the ladder, wiping the dusty plaque on the door with a damp cloth, holding the basin of water in one hand and wiping the dust with the other.

Suddenly, I heard a scream of "ah", and the water basin in the servant's hand slipped and flew down from mid-air!

In an instant, Mo Zichou hurriedly pulled me towards him with one hand, and then pulled me into his arms with the other hand to protect my head.

It was like heavy rain pouring down, splashing water, Mo Ziwei's back was hit by a wooden basin, and he felt a pain, and then the wooden basin fell to the ground, whirling on the stone bricks.

After the fright, my body was let go, and I saw that Mo Ziwei's entire back was wet, so I hurriedly grabbed his arm and asked, "What's wrong with you, does it hurt?" ”

Mo Zi looked at my face worriedly, there seemed to be bright fireworks in his clear eyes, and the brilliance was blooming, and he actually smiled, "It doesn't hurt." ”

His joke made me even more worried, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Ah Qing." Gao Changgong's voice came, "Brother Mo's clothes are soaked, let him go back to the room to change his clothes first." ”

Gao Changgong's gaze swept over my hand holding Mo Ziwu's arm, and I realized that something was wrong and let go quickly.

Mo Ziwu seemed to have a sense, and he also restrained the smile on his face, tidied up his somewhat messy hair, and went back to the room to change his clothes.

I followed Mo Ziwei until his back disappeared. turned around, but bumped into Zheng Shuyao's thoughtful eyes.

——

The lights in the palace were lit one by one, and Mo Ziwei was also carrying a lamp in his hand, and the king of Lanling asked him to drink and admire the moon in the courtyard, and he was invited.

Gao Changgong opened a jar of daughter's wine and toasted him: "Brother Mo, thank you for saving my life today." ”

Mo Zi smiled and drank the wine in the bowl.

Gao Changgong put down the bowl and said sincerely: "Brother Mo, you are strong in martial arts, enthusiastic, and have an excellent heart, valuing love and righteousness, and your chivalrous demeanor should be like this." It's not worth it to meet a friend like you. ”

Mo Ziwei was moved by his sincerity, and said sincerely: "Lord, although you are from a noble family, you are not arrogant, approachable, and treat the people equally; For me, I don't dislike my identity as a person in the rivers and lakes, and I am courteous. You have a plan to protect your family and defend your country; Hide the people's hearts and seek well-being for the people. You are a good official and a good prince for the country and the people! I admire you! can get to know the prince, and Zi Wei feels that he lives up to this life! ”

Under the clear light of the white moon, the two drank happily and talked happily.

During the conversation, the two people were impressed by each other's character, like-minded, and sympathetic to each other.

This pleasant atmosphere was broken by the arrival of Qingqiang.

——

"Qingqiang, you're here." Gao Changgong happily pulled me into a seat.

I looked at Mo Ziwu who was present, and said with a light smile: "It seems that tonight, the prince has made an appointment with me alone." ”

Mo Ziwu was stunned for a moment, then became a little embarrassed, got up and said, "Since it is the appointment of the prince and his wife, then Ziwu will not bother." ”

"Brother Mo." Gao Changgong stopped him, "Tonight, I specially invited the two of you to come over." ”

Mo Zi sat back hesitantly.

"Frog." Gao Changgong motioned to me, "Brother Mo has helped you many times, that day in the ** Temple, and today in the middle hall, you should give him a cup." ”

I picked up the wine jar and was about to pour wine, but Gao Changgong took out a small bean green wine bottle and wine glass, and said to me: "You are a woman, you are not used to drinking such a strong daughter red, this is a newly brewed pear blossom wine, you drink this." ”

I poured a glass of pear blossom wine as I said, raised my glass to look at Mo Ziwei, and said softly: "Mo Shaoxia, I respect you, thank you very much, and help each other several times." ”

"Tonight there is good wine, there are confidants and friends, and there is a wife to accompany me, it is really a happy life!"

Gao Changgong was still happy in life a moment ago, but in the latter sentence, he changed the conversation and asked Mo Ziwei seriously, "Brother Mo, I have my wife by my side, where is your wife?" ”

Mo Ziwu's eyes fell on me and Gao Changgong, and his face was a little unnatural: "Ziwu, I haven't married a wife yet." ”

Gao Changgong said strangely: "Seeing that Brother Mo and I are the same age, and we are not young, why haven't we started a family yet?" ”

Mo Zi's eyebrows drooped, and he was only as light as Shuyun said: "I am adrift all the year round, forced by my livelihood, and often have no meal, so don't delay the girl from a good family." ”

Gao Changgong didn't believe it and asked, "Could it be that Brother Mo has never met a desirable woman for so many years?" ”

Mo Ziwu raised his eyes, glanced at me, and then transferred to Gao Changgong, and said slowly: "Yes, I have met a woman who agrees with me and I like very much. ”

Gao Changgong smiled, became interested, and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Mo Ziwu didn't say in a hurry, his eyes were like still water, frozen at a certain moment.
