A fire in the Alum Tower caused huge losses, not to mention the complete destruction of the East Building, and the compensation for countless injured people was a huge expense. However, the most shocking news is not here, it is rumored that the head of the alum tower, Li Shishi, the head of the capital, was also seriously injured in the fire and has not been able to perform on stage again.

People didn't believe it at first, how could the performers in Lou Zi have a lot of people hurt her, but in the next few days, there was no news of Master Li, and even some admirers went to find Wang Ma, but they also got the same answer, so the rumors became true. But then another gossip began to go viral, according to authoritative sources, the head of the master went to a private room that night to accompany the drink, and no one knows what happened during the process. But soon these so-called authorities denied it, and the reasons for each of them varied, and the most mysterious rumor was that they were warned by the palace that they were all people of status who could enter the private room on the second floor that night.

In short, the head of the capital mysteriously disappeared after a fire.

In the courtyard of Lihua Lane, Master Li got the news brought back by Zhang's mother that night, followed by Qian'er, who got along day and night, and she breathed a sigh of relief. On the third day of the following, Master Li quietly left Tokyo City with Zhang's mother and Qian'er.

Gu Haotian specially sent Qin Sheng to lead the escort and escorted Master Li, Pan Jinlian and others to Liangshan Manor first. He knew very well that this Master Li's stay in the capital was a bomb that could explode at any time, and if the whim in the palace wanted to see her on that day, Lihua Lane would definitely not be able to hide. So when the old emperor had not yet come back to his senses, he came up with a thirty-six plan.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and just when the people in the capital gradually forgot about the incident in Alum Tower, another major news attracted people's attention.

The Great Zhou Dynasty formed an alliance with the Jin State, and what was even more exciting was that the second prince of the Jin State proposed in the court that he would marry Princess Yurong, and the two countries would marry Qin and Jin.

It is said that for this sudden proposal, Wendejeon was in a mess at that time. Like Gao Yu and others, who have already benefited from the Jurchens in private, they naturally strongly approve; However, Cai Jing and others had thoughts about Princess Yurong, but they put forward various reasons to oppose it; There are also Geng Zhi ministers who angrily reprimanded the Jurchens for getting an inch, and the toad wanted to eat swan meat, and even turned out the poems of Gu Haotian when he was in autumn, "If there is a good man in the Han family, why should a weak woman go out of Yangguan"; Of course, it was the old emperor who made the final decision, of course he was unwilling to let his favorite daughter suffer in the deep mountains and old forests, but he was unwilling to destroy the overall situation of the alliance between the two countries, so he made a "drag" decision, saying that the jade guest was still young, and he was frightened before, and he would discuss it later.

Gu Haotian got this news as soon as possible. But at this moment, Cai Wulang was at the Shanshui Inn, foaming at the scene and restoring the scene at that time.

"That Jurchen person doesn't soak in urine to take care of himself, an uncivilized barbarian, he dares to covet the princess of the Great Zhou, it's really beyond his strength. It's Brother Haotian, you are in the limelight again, Li Gang's stinky stone, this will indeed be hard for a while, and you will read out of the court what "If there is a good man in the Han family, why do you need a weak woman to go out of Yangguan", and slapped Gao Yu and others. ”

Cai Yan seemed to be particularly disgusted by this matter, and even Li Gang, who was the least interested in weekdays, praised him, not to mention admiring his good brother Gu Haotian.

Gu Haotian didn't expect that he could be "famous" on such an occasion, but he paid more attention to the person named Li Gang, whether it was the anti-gold hardline who was recorded in history. He couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Yanei, what kind of person is this Li Gang, who dares to go against Gao Yu?"

"This guy is Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, but he has a stinky and hard temper, don't say Gao Yu, anyone who can't get used to him dares to scare."

Thinking that it was that guy, Gu Haotian was secretly worried, but it was a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to see him, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Just as he was thinking, Cai Yan spoke again.

"Brother, why don't you move, do you have to go to Mutuogang here?"

Gu Haotian said, suddenly remembering that today is the ten-day period agreed with the Tiansi Prison Commander, no wonder Cai Wulang Kai had already brought so many people over, thinking that he was scared last time.

At that moment, he secretly instructed Zhu Gui to inform Sun An to take people to pick him up on the way, so he set off with Xu Guanzhong, Bian Xiang and Yang Zaixing, with his men and Cai Ying.

Mu Tuogang, the strict master has already selected a thousand war horses, and Cai Yan extorted another fifty as an add-on. When they saw that they were all good horses, they made a delivery, and agreed to send someone to fetch them the next day, and then they turned back and went back.

Early in the morning of the second day, Sun An took the official document prepared by Xiao Rang, led fifty members of the Hengdao Battalion, and Yang Zaixing, who was mobilized by Gu Haotian to help, hired some people to pick up the horses and escort them to Cangzhou. Another matter has been settled, Gu Haotian is now only waiting for the specific news of the departure of the Jurchen soldiers' armor.

At noon on this day, not long after Sun An and the others left, the Huainan Royal Mansion sent an invitation, asking him to come at noon. Gu Haotian wanted to discuss Zhao Ding's matter with Chai Wenbo, so he happily went.

The gathering in the Junwangfu was not complicated, Chai Wenbo, Zhang Jiucheng, Gu Haotian and Xu Guanzhong, a total of four people. Chai Wenbo specifically talked about Zhao Ding's affairs at the banquet, saying that he had negotiated with the Criminal Department, and that the Jurchens could be released after two days when they left Beijing.

An hour later, the banquet was over, Chai Wenbo invited everyone to taste tea, but he said that there were a few miscellaneous books, Haotian had a wide range of knowledge, and invited him to the study to appreciate it.

Gu Haotian did not doubt that he was there, so he followed, and the two walked through several houses to the front of the study. Chai Wenbo stood up and said to Gu Haotian:

"Yurong wants to see you."

"Princess Yurong! What does she want to see me?" Gu Haotian was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.

"You'll know when you see it." Chai Wenbo pointed to the door, but walked away.

What's going on? Gu Haotian was stunned for a while, hesitated for a while, and thought that there was no way to retreat, so he gently pushed the door in.

But I saw a delicate woman sitting on the side of her head in the study, and saw that she was dressed in simple clothes, with a faint sadness on her face, without the luxurious style of a royal princess, but like a girl next door who was full of worries. "Yurong thanked Gu Langjun for saving his life."

When Gu Haotian was quietly looking at her, Yurong had already gotten up and thanked her.

"The princess is serious, and she just discovered it by chance on the next day, but she didn't dare to be greedy." Gu Haotian hurriedly returned the salute and said.

"By chance! Hum! Thousands of officers and soldiers in the capital searched for several days, and there was no accident. ”

Yurong sneered, as if he was full of resentment. But Gu Haotian is not easy to pick up, he always can't say that these officers and soldiers are rice buckets. So the two had nothing to say for a while, and the atmosphere in the study cooled down.

Standing awkwardly like this for a while, Gu Haotian was about to say goodbye and leave, when Princess Yurong spoke again.

"I heard that 'if there is a good man in the Han family, why do you need a weak woman to go out of Yangguan', but it was done by Lang Jun, I don't know if it's true or not."

"I wrote about it."

Yurong suddenly jumped to another topic, Gu Haotian blurted out in a hurry, and then hurriedly explained.

"In the autumn of last year, Lord Zhang happened to have the topic of harmony, and at that time, there was nothing more to do, so he wrote a far-fetched sentence."

"Lang Jun thinks that there are still good sons and daughters in the world of the Great Zhou today?"

Yurong didn't entangle with Gu Haotian about the origin of the sentence, and then asked again.

"In the Great Zhou world, countless subjects, of course there will be good men." Gu Haotian replied without hesitation.

"It's a pity that there is no one in the court, among the ministers." Yurong said indifferently.

At this time, Gu Haotian already understood Yurong's heart a little, it must be because the Jurchen asked to marry her. So he asked tentatively:

"At the court that day, I heard that Cai Xiang was against it, and Li Gang Shaoqing ......"

"Cai Xiang has other thoughts, and Li Gangwei is humble and light-hearted."

Yurong coldly interrupted Gu Haotian's words, as if he didn't want to hear anyone from the court again.

Gu Haotian wanted to say it again, isn't there still an emperor? Thinking of this immediately, Yurong must have already counted. Didn't the old emperor care about his daughter? When he was puzzled, the events of the Northern Song Dynasty suddenly appeared in his mind, when the Jurchen soldiers came to the city and asked the Song court to send Emperor Maode over, but he really obediently sent the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, who had become a wife, to be ravaged by the Jurchens. This Zhou Dynasty is almost a flip board of the Northern Song Dynasty, and really everything is possible. He was extremely frightened, and couldn't help but glance at the jade face in front of him with pity.

Gu Haotian's expression changed, Yurong was looking at it carefully, and she said sadly:

"Lang Jun must have figured it out, but when his father returned to the palace that day, he said that the Jurchen prince was majestic and extraordinary, and no one knew what he was thinking, what kind of family affection did the heavenly family have!"

The old emperor is giving Yurong a vaccination, and at present, he is reluctant to give up this daughter, but judging from his words and deeds, Yurong's future fate is already expected. Thinking that the weak fairy-like woman in front of him was about to fall into the hands of the old forest savage, Gu Haotian suddenly felt a tingling in his heart.

"Lang Jun, are you a good boy of my Han family?" Yurong suddenly asked again.

"Me!"

Gu Haotian was stunned for a moment, but found that Yurong's eyes full of autumn water were staring straight into his eyes. He suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart, and said confidently:

"Although I, Gu Haotian, am not a hero, I am by no means greedy for life and afraid of death."

"In this way, please ask Lang Jun to save the weak woman again." Yurong then knelt down.

Gu Haotian was taken aback, and hurriedly reached out to help, but Yurong grabbed his arms tightly, but he couldn't get up.

"If Lang Jun shouldn't, Yurong can't afford to die."

Helplessly, Gu Haotian had no choice but to say: "Do your best."

"Lang Jun has promised, and the weak woman is already at ease."

The jade rong stood up with the trend, but his face was already sad, and his face was full of spring.

Gu Haotian was shocked by this sudden blooming beauty, and quickly looked away in embarrassment, and said in a disguised manner:

"I will leave Beijing in the next day, if the princess has something, she must tell the shopkeeper Zhu of the Shanshui Inn as soon as possible, remember, you are the only one who knows about it."

Then Gu Haotian said goodbye, but when he arrived at the door, he heard Yurong shouting:

"Lang Jun, wait a minute."

Then he saw her come quickly, and put something into his hand, and said:

"Yurong can't thank you, although this thing is ugly, but it is made by my own hands, I hope you will cherish it."

With that, Yurong pushed Gu Haotian out of the door and closed the door with his hand.

Gu Haotian was stunned for a moment, and then found that what he was holding in the palm of his hand turned out to be another sachet.
