Chapter 1067: Dead Wood
Qi Ning knew that Gu Qinghan had misunderstood, but he also pretended to sigh, without saying a word, walked over and sat down on the chair, looking melancholy.
He didn't say a word like this, but it made Gu Qinghan feel that this matter was caused by himself, bit his lip, walked closer, and said softly: "You..... Why don't you speak? ”
Qi Ning glanced at Gu Qinghan, but smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Gu Qinghan sighed and said in a low voice, "That..... So what do you want to say, just say it, anyway..... Anyway, no matter what you say today, I won't blame you. ”
"What can I say?" Qi Ning looked helpless: "I always thought that you would stay by my side forever, but..... You are ready to leave the Hou Mansion, I don't know how to change your mind, my heart is uncomfortable, just ..... I can only find a place to breathe. ”
Gu Qinghan said softly: "I'm not leaving now, I'm ..... I didn't tell you, after three years, I'm .....! ”
"No matter how many years it takes, don't you always have to go?" Qi Ning said: "I still have to count the days every day, and every day that passes, the day I will be separated from you is nearly one day .....!" Speaking of this, he looked excited, and said with a wry smile: "That's it, let's not talk about it, why make everyone unhappy." Just about to get up, Gu Qinghan frowned slightly, didn't wait for him to get up, pressed his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't go yet." ”
Qi Ning looked up at Gu Qinghan's face and asked, "What else does Sanniang have to say?" ”
"I ..... I'm leaving so I don't want you to do anything wrong. Gu Qinghan sighed lightly: "You can't lose your spirits because of this, otherwise you will .....!" ”
Qi Ning said: "Over the years, Sanniang has been taking care of me, and I have adapted to you being by my side." Raising his hand and holding down Gu Qinghan's hand on his shoulder, Gu Qinghan's delicate body trembled, and he wanted to pull it out, but he didn't have much strength, and was gently held by Qi Ning: "In the entire Jinyi Hou Mansion, you are the only one who really treats me well, and I maintain the Jinyi Hou Mansion now, not for any family inheritance, in the final analysis, just to be able to protect you well, in addition, there is nothing that makes me worry too much, if you leave one day, the Jinyi Hou Mansion will be worthless to me." ”
"No..... You are not allowed to say that. Gu Qinghan raised his other hand and covered Qi Ning's mouth: "You..... When you say this, people will say that you have forgotten .....! ”
The porcelain-like smooth but warm hand was attached to Qi Ning's mouth, and a faint fragrance suddenly went straight into Qi Ning's nose, Qi Ning's heart fluttered, Gu Qinghan felt Qi Ning's mouth move slightly, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, but Qi Ning had already quickly stretched out his other hand to grab it, Gu Qinghan tightened his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Don't come nonsense, let go." ”
Qi Ning said: "If I let go, I'm afraid you will run away." ”
His simple sentence made Gu Qinghan's heart move, staring at Qi Ning's eyes, seeing Qi Ning looking straight at him, he sighed lightly, and said, "Don't talk nonsense in the future, you are Jinyihou, if Fang Cai's words are heard, what will be good?" ”
"Sanniang asked me not to talk nonsense, so I won't say it." Qi Ning said softly.
Gu Qinghan thought for a moment before saying, "Don't think about it too much, what if.... If you behave well, Sanniang...... Sanniang may not leave. ”
Qi Ning hurriedly said: "How can you dispel the idea of leaving?" ”
"Then ..... It's up to you to be honest. Gu Qinghan saw Qi Ning's reaction, and knew that he was indeed extremely concerned about his whereabouts, but there was a hint of sweetness in his heart, and he said in a low voice: "If you do something wrong, even I can't control you, then don't blame me for leaving you alone." ”
Qi Ning smiled: "Okay, whatever Sanniang says, I will listen to you." Under the lights, seeing this beautiful girl exuding a seductive style, and smelling the fragrance on her body, she really couldn't help it, she reached out and hugged Gu Qinghan's waist, Gu Qinghan snorted softly, she was already hugged by Qi Ning, and sat on Qi Ning's lap involuntarily, she wanted to struggle, Qi Ning had already leaned close to her ear and whispered: "As long as Sanniang can understand my heart, I am enough." ”
Gu Qinghan heard this sentence tenderly and sweetly, and felt a little conflicted in his heart, but he didn't continue to struggle, and said in a low voice: "Anyway..... Anyway, when you're with me in the future, you'..... You have to be careful, don't talk nonsense, don't ..... Don't let anyone see the clues.....! Speaking of this, his face was hot, he lowered his head and didn't look at Qi Ning, how shrewd Qi Ning was, the meaning of this last sentence suddenly understood, his heart was full of joy, and he said in Gu Qinghan's ear: "Sanniang, don't worry, I will never let people see the flaws, only when we are together, I will .....!" ”
"What are you?" Gu Qinghan glared at Qi Ning: "Anyway..... Anyway, I'll make it clear to you first, you ..... You can't step on that line, or ..... Otherwise, I will not depend on you. ”
Qi Ning naturally knew what that bottom line was, thinking that he was not in a hurry, since Gu Qinghan said this, it was already a great gain, and there was a burst of joy in his heart, Gu Qinghan's soft delicate body was in his arms, Qi Ning's heart was rippling, and he couldn't help but get closer, so he wanted to personally Gu Qinghan's cheeks, but at this moment, he heard a voice from outside the door: "Master Hou!" ”
Gu Qinghan and Qi Ning were both shocked, Gu Qinghan quickly got up, straightened his clothes with his back, Qi Ning also stood up, coughed, and said, "What's the matter?" Hearing Qi Feng's voice outside, he secretly thought that this kid was really damned, when was it not good to disturb, but at this time, he ran over, heard a "creak", the door was pushed open, Qi Feng walked over cautiously, Gu Qinghan had already tidied up his clothes at this time, sat down slowly, looked calm and calm, and was still dignified.
"Master Hou, someone asks to see you!" Qi Feng said in a low voice: "This is his token!" After speaking, he handed over a thing with both hands, Qi Ning took it and looked at it, it was indeed a small and delicate golden blade, seeing that this golden knife was not used as a weapon, but as if it was for collection, his face suddenly became grim, and he asked in a low voice: "Where is the person?" ”
Qi Feng immediately went out, and soon brought in a man dressed in black cloth, the man stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Meet Master Hou!" ”
Qi Ning asked, "Is it the old marquis.....?" ”
Before he finished speaking, the man had already said: "I'm waiting for Hou Ye, please Hou Ye must go with the little one." ”
Qi Ning hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Lead the way." ”
Gu Qinghan saw the golden knife in Qi Ning's hand, and already knew that this man was likely to be sent by the Golden Dao Hou, and it was already the second half of the night, but he didn't know why the Golden Dao Hou invited Qi Ning to go in the middle of the night, but at this time, it must not be a trivial matter to invite Qi Ning over, so he came over and said softly: "Ning'er, let Qi Feng bring a few people with you." ”
The man shook his head and said, "Master Hou, this trip is very secretive, I don't want anyone to know, so I only ask Master Hou to go alone." ”
"Going alone?" Qi Ning was stunned, and Qi Feng had already said beside him: "Master Hou, although the golden knife is a token of the Tantai family, it is ......!" Although he didn't say anything, several people present understood the meaning, nothing more than saying that the golden knife was real, but whether the golden knife was sent to come, it was uncertain.
The man in black said: "If Master Hou can be trusted, please leave immediately, otherwise, you will be treated as if the little one has never come." He got up, saluted Qi Ning, turned around and left.
Qi Ning hesitated for a moment and said to Qi Feng: "You don't have to follow, I'll go by myself." Without waiting for Gu Qinghan and Qi Feng to say more, follow the man out, Gu Qinghan looked worried, and Qi Feng also frowned.
The man led Qi Ning out of the door, an extremely ordinary carriage was parked outside the door, the man in black jumped on the head of the carriage, turned his head to look at Qi Ning, since Qi Ning followed, he did not hesitate and got into the carriage.
The man in black did not delay, and with a flick of the horse's reins, the carriage immediately moved forward.
Qi Ning sat in the carriage, very strange in his heart, secretly thinking that the golden knife was too old, and he should have rested at this time, but why did he have to let himself go in the middle of the night?
The car was moving, the street was deserted, Qi Ning was thoughtful, walked for a while, Qi Ning lifted the curtain of the car, and found that he had walked to an extremely narrow and remote street, he knew where the Golden Dao Houfu was, this road was obviously not leading to the Golden Dao Houfu, and he was about to ask clearly, but the carriage had stopped, the curtain was lifted, and the man in black said respectfully: "Master Hou, please!" ”
Qi Ning got out of the carriage and found that the carriage was parked at the back door of a house, the man in black stepped forward and knocked three times, and knocked again, the back door "creaked" open, and the man in black said respectfully: "The old country is waiting!" Without any nonsense, he turned and jumped on the wheel, urging the horse to go on, and soon disappeared into the night.
Qi Ning hesitated for a moment, entered through the back door, there were two black-clothed people waiting inside, and when he saw Qi Ning enter the door, one of them immediately closed the door, leaning on the back door to guard, and the other said respectfully: "Master Hou comes with me!" ”
Qi Ning didn't look like he was hostile when he looked at them, but he was very vigilant in his heart as the man in black walked forward, observing the movements around him while moving forward.
After walking for a while, when he arrived at the outside of a room, the man in black stepped forward and pushed open the door and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, please come in, the old prince is waiting inside!" ”
Qi Ning nodded slightly, entered the house, the man in black behind him immediately closed the door of the house, and there was a smell of sandalwood wafting in the room, Qi Ning took a few steps forward, but saw a person wrapped in a quilt, leaning on a Taishi chair, with an oil lamp lit on the side, and the atmosphere was strange and abnormal.
Qi Ning looked at the man by the light, and saw that the man's beard was white, he looked extremely old, and he looked extremely weak, it was the Taihuang who had just been crowned the Duke of Yiguo.
Qi Ning hurriedly took two steps forward and arched his hand: "Qi Ning meets the old prince!" ”
Tang Taihuang raised a hand and beckoned to Qi Ning, Qi Ning saw that the arm was already skinny, and trembled slightly, and his heart sank, secretly thinking that Tang Taihuang's body was extremely weak, and it seemed that he was dying.
When he was young, he fought in the north and south, and there were many old injuries on his body, and after he was old, he rarely went out, of course, because he wanted to stay away from the court and not participate in the disputes between the court and China, but also because he had too many old injuries and had been recuperating in the house.
The last time Qi Ning saw Taihuang in the palace, although the old man's body and spirit were not healthy, but they were not weak, in just over a month, Tangtaihuang was like a changed person, and his spirit and spirit were already weak to the extreme, Qi Ning's heart suddenly rose a sense of depression, seeing the golden knife beckoning to him, he immediately stepped forward and held the hand of Shantaihuang, not only was he thin and boneless, like a dead wood, but he was also cold, and said with concern: "Old Guogong, you ..... How did you become like this? ”
