In the palace, Gu Qing hurriedly walked around for most of the day, asked several palace maids and eunuchs, and finally found Zhongshu Province, and saw Fang Xuanling, who was sitting in it, watching a piece of music from a distance.

Gu Qing knocked on the door and didn't go in.

Fang Xuanling nodded and motioned for Gu Qing to come in, and there were some other officials sitting in it, who were sending part of Fang Xuanling's annotated recitals to His Majesty, and some of them were distributed to the various government offices in Chang'an.

It was quiet here, there was no other sound of talking, Gu Qing stood behind Fang Xuanling and watched him review the recital.

Seeing a piece of music, Fang Xuanling hesitated, as if he was hesitating about something, Gu Qing raised his eyes and saw that it was a piece from Jingzhou, and the governor of Jingzhou, Wushi Tong, had died.

Seeing these words, Gu Qing hurriedly snatched them with one hand and read them word by word.

"You are presumptuous!" Several officials who were packing up the concerto scolded angrily when they saw Gu Qing snatching Sun Simiao's recital with one hand.

"Teacher, the disciple has to retire in advance!" Without waiting for Fang Xuanling to reply, Gu Qingfei ran out of Zhongshu Province and left the palace all the way, and Wu Shi Tong died! Counting that it is now a few years of Zhenguan, Gu Qing is still worried about Wu Mei in his heart.

Regardless of whether Wu Mei is the future empress or not, she is still just a girl in Gu Qing's heart today.

Hurriedly returning to the Taoist temple, Gu Qing began to pack his things, loaded the pistol with magazines, and brought a dagger and some dry food.

"You're going to go far away." Yang Sheng said.

"Samurai Tong is dead!" Gu Qing said, "I'm going to meet Wu Mei, and I don't know what happened to this little girl." ”

"You wait!" Yang Sheng hurriedly said, "How did you know that Wu Shi Tong had died?" ”

"Zhang, sent from Jingzhou." Gu Qing said, "Who dares to scribble in the recital." ”

Yang Sheng stopped Gu Qing, who was in a hurry, and said again: "It will take more than ten days to get from Jingzhou to Chang'an, even if you go to Jingzhou, you will definitely be able to meet the Wu Mei you said?" ”

"What else can she do at this time besides keeping filial piety!" Gu Qing said loudly, pushing Yang Sheng away and leaving.

"Wu Yuanshuang and Wu Yuanqing are in Chang'an!" Yang Sheng said to Gu Qing, "Maybe Wu Shi Tong has been dead for a while, these two brothers are the eldest and second sons of Wu Shi Tong, and the two of them came to Chang'an to find their sister, it seems that Wu Mei is here." ”

Gu Qing stopped and turned his head to look at Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng was taken aback by Gu Qing's eyes, he had never seen Gu Qing have such a look, "I have some friends in Chang'an, they told me that it is said that these two brothers wanted to sell their sister, but who knew that the little girl actually ran away." ”

Standing in place, Gu Qing was stunned.

Yang Sheng continued: "Those two brothers are really bad seeds, and even their own sisters are going to be sold!" ”

"How many friends do you have in Chang'an?" Gu Qing stepped forward and asked.

"That's a lot." Yang Sheng stepped back, Gu Qing's expression was terrifying, he held the pistol tightly in his hand, and then said: "Don't worry, I asked my friend in Chang'an to look for it, maybe I can find this Wu Mei." ”

Saying that, Yang Sheng also hurriedly went out to find someone.

Gu Qing sat weakly on the threshold of the Taoist temple for a long time, his mind was full of Wu Mei's innocent smile, and after a gust of spring breeze, Gu Qing got up again and ran towards Chang'an.

Late at night in Chang'an, it is curfew time, and the weak figure is hiding in the city, there are no tears in her eyes, more calm.

"Found it!"

Wu Mei trembled when she heard the voice behind her, and when she looked back, she saw a cloth head coming towards her, stuffed it into her mouth, and covered it with a cloth bag before she could see the person clearly.

"What a skill."

"Master, I was a bandit when I was young, and I didn't kidnap people." The monk carried the cloth bag behind his back, "She is the girl Yang Tou'er is looking for?" ”

"Can't be wrong!" Someone answered.

"Now that the gates are closed, it's hard to get out." Someone else said, "A guy on duty in the city is an old acquaintance of Yang Tou'er, he should be settled, let's wait for news." ”

Wu Mei had been listening to the two of them, and when she heard that she was going to leave the city, she knew that the opportunity had come, and when she reached the city gate, she made some noise.

Gu Qing was still wearing an official uniform and standing in a corner of Chang'an City with Yang Sheng to avoid the soldiers patrolling the city, "Will she not be in Chang'an City." ”

"I don't know." Yang Sheng also said.

In the dark night, a sturdy short man hurriedly came, "Yang Tou'er has found it." ”

Hearing this, Gu Qing immediately stepped forward, "Where is it?" ”

"Be quiet!" Yang Sheng reminded: "Where are the people. ”

The dwarf looked around vigilantly, "The fat monk has found someone, and now he is waiting there for news from Yang Tou'er." ”

"Don't wait, let's go!"

Saying that, Gu Qing followed Yang Sheng and the dwarf to walk carefully in the dark night in Chang'an City, and saw two figures all the way through the paths.

"Monk, are people in your hands?" Yang Sheng stepped forward with a knife and asked.

The fat monk smiled, "It's in the bag, don't worry about Yang Tou'er, it's still alive!" ”

"It's not convenient to talk here." Yang Sheng said to Gu Qing.

A few people climbed over the low wall and entered a house A couple heard the movement and walked out of the door, but saw a knife in front of them, Yang Sheng looked down at the couple and said in a low voice: "Two, a few of us just stayed overnight, disturbed!" Pay attention to the sound, my knife doesn't have long eyes. ”

The couple in front of him nodded vigorously.

A few people walked in the door and lit candles, Gu Qing approached the house step by step, looking at the motionless cloth bag.

"Yang Tou'er, this girl is very ghostly." The fat monk said while untying the knots on the cloth bag, "Fortunately, there are brothers who know a few people, and there are really people who have seen this girl, and they are very impressed, and this girl runs away as soon as she slips away." ”

When the bag was untied, Gu Qing looked at the girl in front of him.

Wu Mei held a stone in her hand, her eyes were full of vigilance, and she looked at the young man in front of her, and finally cried after several confirmations of the familiar face.

"It's all right!" Gu Qing stepped forward and sorted out Wu Mei's messy hair, "Take down the cloth stuffed in her mouth, it's okay, don't be afraid." ”

"Let's keep his mouth shut." The fat monk said anxiously, "If you want to cry again, you have recruited the officers and soldiers." ”

"Shut up!" Yang Sheng glared at the fat monk and walked out of the house, came to the courtyard, and listened vigilantly to the movements around him.

The fat monk and the other two also closed their mouths and came to the courtyard to let off wind together.

"You're an official, right?" The couple recognized the official clothes on Gu Qing's body, and although they couldn't see the grade, they knew that it was an official, so they hurriedly said.

Gu Qing ignored the husband and wife, and picked up half of Wu Mei's dried steamed buns and fell from her arms.

Picking up the steamed buns on the ground, Gu Qing took them in his hands, and asked the two couples, "Is there anything to eat?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The couple nodded hurriedly.

"Go and get something to eat." Gu Qing said, took the basin in the room and washed Wu Mei's face, "It's okay, it's all right!" Don't be afraid to have me here. ”
