Fourth Master Qiao returned to the North Courtyard until near midnight, and everyone thought that Mrs. Qiao left Fourth Master Qiao because she was happy, but they didn't know that the two were making other plans.

Qiao Lixi left Wei Nanshui in the capital, at first Wei Nanshui was unwilling, Qiao Lixi took out the master's momentum and barely suppressed him. It's just that Wei Nanshui and Gu Jinzhen made it very clear that his master was only Qiao Lixi, and the others, even if he had his deed of sale in his hand, he didn't care.

Gu Jinzhen naturally didn't care about this, on the contrary, he wished that Wei Nanshui had always been Qiao Qiao's "subordinate", after all, with such a high status, Qiao Qiao's road in the future would be smoother. The reason why he was willing to take Wei Nanshui was that the cooperation between the two in his previous life was on the one hand, and on the other hand, he didn't want Qiaoqiao to have a man by his side.

I don't know if Wei Nanshui also followed Qiao Qiao for a period of time in his previous life.

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Jinzhen was depressed!

And those men who had contact with Qiao Qiao in their previous lives, they will not end well!

Gu Jinzhen suppressed the anger in his chest and left the last mark on the list.

The name on the list is the person who often came in and out of her after Qiao Qiao became the outer room of the third prince in her previous life, Qiao Jinwen once said that in order to help the third prince, Qiao Qiao did not hesitate to use her body as a bargaining chip to envelop these people.

Naturally, he didn't believe this statement.

If Qiao Qiao really did that, how could she follow Duanmu Qing?

With Duanmu Qing's identity, his woman was touched, and his dignity and majesty were trampled on by his courtiers so that it was cheap to kill Qiao Qiao and those people.

He wouldn't do such a generous thing.

But there are indeed such rumors outside, not only Qiao Jinwen said so, but also some people from other factions.

Everyone speculated that Qiao Qiao was not the outer chamber of the third prince, or the Oiran he raised, as long as anyone made meritorious contributions, he could sleep with the beauty for one night.

With the help of well-intentioned people, this kind of reward has even become a kind of honor, and only the person who stays with Qiao Qiao is the confidant of the three princes, and they are also the people who will serve in key positions after the three princes become successful in the future.

These people are the names he can think of for the time being, he will keep checking them, it is best if they don't touch Qiaoqiao, if they do......

Then wait for death!

"Master, it's all ready." Tang Yuan stood by the door in a night suit.

Gu Jinzhen was also dressed in black, and the two quietly went out one after the other.

Neither in a carriage nor on a horse, the two stood by the wall, leaping, and in the twilight, only two figures were seen rising and falling towards the east, but in half a tea time, the two arrived at a house.

This is the outer court, and even in the twilight it is empty, and everywhere it is desolate.

Use this word to describe the big mansion in the capital, or the big mansion in the east of the city, there is something inappropriate, but the eyes are empty, not to mention the small bridge and flowing water, even if there are few trees, what is not desolate?

There are a few secret guards, not to mention the kung fu, but the number of people does not match this house, so although Gu Jinzhen and Tang Yuan are doing sneaky things, they can completely walk into the study in the front yard in a big manner.

"Here we are." The people in the room had been waiting for a long time, and by the sound of the voice, it was a young man in his early twenties, with a steady tone and a gentle mouth, greeting him like an old friend.

"Your Highness." Gu Jinzhen and Tang Yuan stood at the door, and the two of them greeted respectfully.

Duanmu Jing hooked the corners of his lips mockingly, without meaning to speak.

As if he hadn't seen it, Gu Jinzhen took the rice balls into the study.

Tang Yuan stood still by the door, and Gu Jinzhen walked straight to Duanmu Jing.

"General Gu left a message for His Royal Highness today, His Highness doesn't understand very well, and I ask General Gu to make it clear."

After the early dynasty, the third brother was left in the imperial study by his father according to the custom, he followed the ministers outward, and when Gu Jinzhen passed by him, he whispered to him, and he still hasn't figured it out.

As the grandson of the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the son-in-law of the Marquis of Dingguo, Gu Jinzhen is undoubtedly the most dazzling and capable person in the circle of power of the new generation, if it were not for the careful thinking of the Marquis of Dingguo, Gu Jinzhen would definitely be the object of the third brother's wooing, after all, he would attack the lord in the future, as the new Marquis of Dingguo, how could the third brother let go?

Unexpectedly, such a powerful character would take the initiative to find him.

Among the many princes, he is the most unpromising one, and several royal brothers do not regard him as a threat at all, and in the battle for succession, he is the most non-existent and the least threatening.

Although he didn't have the intention of taking the heir, he was so despised by his younger brothers, and he was still somewhat unconvinced.

But what if you are not convinced?

Duanmujing, Duanmujing, haven't you learned to be smart, haven't you seen the reality clearly, and still have unrealistic visions?

When he came back from the court, Duanmu Jing was sober, and although he was strange in his heart, he would not doubt Gu Jinzhen's motives.

Marquis Zhenyuan is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, a royalist, and he will not make fun of him as a prince, and he is still the most unpromising prince, who can look at it!

Knowing that Gu Jinzhen is not playing with him does not mean that he is not angry!

No matter how poor he is, he is also the eldest prince of the dynasty, the eldest son of the emperor, how to nest his pocket, he is also a prince, Gu Jinzhen is just a courtier, why is he like those people, he thinks he is easy to bully, and he takes pleasure in playing with him!

It's just that he is used to it, and Duanmujing's expression is no different from usual.

However, in just a few breaths, Duanmu Jing thought that he had thought a lot quietly, and he was not seen by Gu Jinzhen.

As everyone knows, Gu Jinzhen's understanding of Duanmu Jing exceeded his expectations.

After two lifetimes, even if Duanmu Jing hides it well, he knows what kind of person Duanmu Jing is in his bones.

Because he doesn't look at Duanmu Jing on the surface, nor does he analyze or guess his motives and intentions, he relies on his experience in his previous life.

Duanmujing is just a temporary dormant.

Among the princes, Duanmujing is the one with the most no background, the most cowardly, and the first to be given up by the emperor, that is, this person, suppressed the three princes in his previous life, and until he died, the three princes did not get what they wanted!

Yes, who would have thought that it was actually the most cowardly prince, and in the end, he had been suppressing the third prince?

During that time, the power of the three princes was suppressed and suppressed very badly, and the three princes were unhappy one after another, which caused him to be furious. There are various speculations among the various factions in the court, but no one takes the eldest prince in their eyes, and this person, who is ignored by everyone, uses his anger to drag the corners of the clothes of the third prince to ascend the throne.

These were all investigated from various clues after he was reborn.

Therefore, he will quietly hand over the message to his eldest prince after the dispersal of the dynasty today.

The two put away their complicated thoughts, and Gu Jinzhen smiled: "Your Highness is a smart person, how could you not understand what the minister meant." ”

Duanmu Jing's heart tightened, and his eyes darkened when he looked at Gu Jinzhen, and in the blink of an eye, he regained his previous warmth.

"General Gu, you and I have no intersection in the court, and there is no contact in private, you visit my prince's mansion in this way today, just because you don't want people to know that you and I have contact, so, General Gu is looking for His Royal Highness, what do you want to do?"

"The minister wants to cooperate with His Highness." Gu Jinzhen is even more direct.

"Cooperation?" Duanmu Jing laughed self-deprecatingly, "I don't know what General Gu likes about His Highness and wants to cooperate with His Highness?" ”

"Your Highness has been in obscurity all these years, do you want to continue to endure it?"

Duanmu Jing's heart was even more awe-inspiring, and the hand under the wide sleeve was clenched into a fist.

Those are all things he did secretly, that is, the closest people around him don't know, he does everything himself, without pretending to be the hands of others, one is afraid of the news leaking, and the other is because it is his last reliance, only in his own hands, he can be a little stable.

"You're also the third one?" Duanmu Jing sneered, "Over the years, the third child has recruited troops, but I didn't expect that even General Gu was also the third person, let's say, what do you want?" ”

Gu Jinzhen visited the prince's mansion at night, and actually looked for him for a showdown.

He didn't know how much Gu Jinzhen knew about him, Gu Jinzhen didn't tell the third child directly about the news, but asked him for a showdown, probably in exchange for benefits.

I just don't know what Gu Jinzhen wants, he has nothing to afford now, and yes, he gave benefits, will Gu Jinzhen go back on his word?

This is not just doing business, the goods and the money will be over, if Gu Jinzhen gets the benefits, he will still betray him......

To kill or not to kill?

The thought scurried through his head.

Duanmu Jing smiled bitterly.

Gu Jinzhen is a battle-hardened veteran, he just knows how to do kung fu, and he doesn't have the confidence to kill Gu Jinzhen, not to mention, he doesn't have an advantage at all in terms of numbers.

Glancing at the glutinous rice balls standing by the door depressedly, Duanmujing gritted his cheeks and grinded his teeth.

"His Royal Highness has been favored by the emperor in recent years, and has done several official affairs with a good reputation, and his prestige among the people is very good. Such an achievement is beyond the reach of His Highness. ”

"So, you're here tonight to see His Highness's jokes?" Duanmu Jing teased.

Gu Jinzhen shook his head, "Your Highness, the minister has already said that the minister is here to cooperate." ”

"Your Highness doesn't think we have a common interest where we can join forces." Duanmu Jing said stiffly.

Gu Jinzhen asked patiently, "Is Your Highness doubting the sincerity of the minister?" ”

Seeing that Duanmu Jing didn't speak, Gu Jinzhen took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to him.

Duanmu Jing took it casually, just one glance, and his expression changed drastically.

He carefully looked at the contents of the letter and took several deep breaths before calming his emotions, "What does General Gu mean?" ”

"Your Highness, this is the sincerity of the minister."

Reluctantly putting down the envelope, Duanmu Jing said coldly: "General Gu's sincerity, His Royal Highness has seen it, but how can you prove to His Highness that this is not a trick you want to capture?" ”

Whether it is said that he is suspicious, or that he is too cautious to hesitate, he will not easily believe Gu Jinzhen.

Gu Jinzhen was not annoyed, and walked to Duanmu Jing and sat down.
