There is no wind in the north, and the cold hits, but the autumn wind is gradually a little more sluggish!
On the shores of Xuanwu Lake, the leaves dance in the autumn wind, making a rustling sound, and then are blown off and struggling in the wind. After completing the last gorgeous dance of the vitality, it floats down on the surface of the lake.
The lake water is clear, reflecting the autumn scenery, the lake and mountains are more charming, and the autumn mood is intoxicating!
Still with an iron mask, he stood by the lake, but he had no intention of enjoying this beautiful scenery!
Hurried from Ying Tianfu to Jiangning, just to personally confirm a crucial news, a news that had been pursued for twenty years.
But when the clues appeared in front of him and got closer and closer to the target, he felt a kind of apprehension in his heart, and he didn't even dare to go in person. Some are similar to the feeling of being more timid in the near home, inexplicable, unclear.
I can only stand by the Xuanwu Lake and wait, but my mood is still difficult to calm down for a long time, and I can't tell whether I am looking forward to it or worrying.
After a long time, there was finally the sound of footsteps behind him.
"Sect Master, there's news!"
"Hmm!" The Iron Mask Sect Master just responded, seemingly plain, but his heart was already surging, full of expectations, and he was also very nervous.
"Sect Master, the clues we have obtained so far are that Miss Meng was born in the Meng family in Jiangning. And there is indeed a person in her family, who is very similar to Childe's characteristics! โ
"Really? Who is it? The Iron Mask Sect Master was suddenly excited, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly asked.
"His name is Lin Zhao, and he was originally a scholar in Mengfu, but he behaved very well. Now he has joined the company. Very favored by Wang Anshi and Zhao Ji. Previously, he was an official to the Qiantang County Order. Not long ago, he was the envoy of Hehuang Tubo as Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, and now he is going to Huanqing Road to investigate the case as Shaoqing of Dali Temple! โ
Northwest, sure enough, Northwest! The conditions are much the same!
His name is Lin Zhao?
After being slightly excited, the Iron Mask Sect Master came back to his senses and said in a deep voice, "This name is very familiar, huh?" โ
"Yes, this person quelled Zhao Shiju's rebellion in Hangzhou before, killed Zhao Zongyong's father and son, and was in Bianjing. can also punch King Qi Zhao Hao......"
"It turned out to be him!"
The Iron Mask Sect Master immediately recalled that Lin Zhao was such a famous young man, he had naturally heard of it, was he the one he was looking for?
It's a young talent, and I've been worried about my qualifications, but now it seems that it's completely redundant, so good.
It's just that...... It's just that how did he become Zhao Ji's henchman? How can it be??
"Is there any other information about Lin Zhao? How old is it? Where are the people? Who else is in the family? "The Iron Mask Sect Master can't control so much for a while, the first thing to confirm is his identity.
"Twenty years old, a native of Zhuozhou, it is said that both parents died when he was a child. I was raised by my uncle. โ
Twenty years old? Zhuozhou people? Orphan? The Iron Mask Sect Master silently recited these words in his heart, and felt more and more consistent. All kinds of signs. It's getting closer.
"Who is his uncle?"
"A kitchen steward in the Meng Mansion seems to be a big housekeeper now, called Gu Qi. It is said that when there was a big flood in Zhuozhou, he escaped with his nephew and came to Jiangning, where he was taken in by Mrs. Meng and served as a servant in Meng's mansion. Married to a mute woman, and now they have a son and a daughter. The son is only two or three years old, and the daughter is the Gu Yuelun girl in the meditation nunnery! โ
"In this way, the title of cousin is logical!" The Iron Mask Sect Master sighed and said, "Lin Zhao, maybe it's the person we're looking for!" โ
"Yes, Sect Master! Mrs. Lin's surname is Lin, and the sons of the ancestors are all from the side, Showa and ...... Unison! Judging by the name, it's very similar! โ
"Really!" The Iron Mask Sect Master didn't pay attention at first, but when he reminded him, he immediately reacted. God have mercy, is that him? Suddenly, I felt like I was going to cry.
"Thunder, good job, find Childe and give you a credit!"
Jiang Leiting, thirty-two years old, the number one henchman of the Iron Mask Sect Master, has outstanding abilities and is careful and prudent. This time he came to Jiangning to investigate, and in the shortest possible time, he quietly found so much useful information, so that the Iron Mask Sect Master couldn't help but praise.
"The sect master praised it falsely, these are all subordinate matters, as long as you can find the son, you will not hesitate to do it!"
"Hmm!" The Iron Mask Sect Master nodded and said, "Find a way to arrange, I want to meet this Gu Qi in person, although I have been convinced that six or seven have become, but he doesn't speak, he will ...... after all."
"Yes!"
"Remember to bring the portrait given by the lady, although it has been twenty years, and the appearance has changed a lot, but it is somewhat a reference!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gu Qi's current life can be said to be at ease!
Now that he has become the number two person in the Meng Mansion, because of Lin Zhao's relationship, everyone treats him as a master and respectfully.
There is no shortage of money, and life is happy. With a pair of children on his knees, his daughter is as beautiful as a flower, and his son is smart and cute, what is there not to be satisfied with?
The only thing that made him feel at ease was his nephew Lin Zhao!
Originally, he wanted him to live a stable life in the Meng family, but this kid seemed to have changed as a person, and he became more and more unbelievable. At a young age, he has done a lot of earth-shattering things, and the official is getting bigger and bigger.
Gu Qi didn't have much happiness in his heart, and he was not proud of it, but he was full of worries at first. After a long time, I gradually got used to it, and my nephew is so smart and capable, he should be able to deal with some trouble.
Some things, maybe just providence, let it be!
Slowly, Gu Qi's mentality has changed a little!
Of course, he is still thinking about his nephew all the time!
I didn't see anyone last year, but I said that I would come back this year, but I heard that he went to the northwest again. I don't know if he adapts to the bitter cold land in the northwest, is he okay?
I don't have any news to go home, which is always a little worrying!
In the afternoon, Gu Qi went out to inspect a few shops, Meng Ruoying was not there, and some things needed his heart. After finishing the incident, I was going to go home directly, but I suddenly remembered that my son and Xiao Yangu were shouting for Xiao Taoren.
Then he turned around and went to the bazaar to buy, he was born poor, and he did not have the habit of responding to many followers. Besides, in broad daylight, it's very safe.
So, as usual, Gu Qi walked into an alley as usual, and walked through to the river to the market.
Suddenly, someone behind him shouted, "He Wu! โ
Ho V?
It's been a long time since anyone shouted like this, and I've almost forgotten my real name, but I still subconsciously turned around.
After turning around, he suddenly reacted, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Who's calling themselves? Do you even know the name?
He knew very well what was hidden behind the name. What does it mean if someone calls this name?
But after thinking about it, I smiled helplessly, what should come is still coming after all, and I can't hide from it after all.
"Who?"
There was silence in the alley, and suddenly, as soon as it was dark, Gu Qi fainted!
When he woke up, he was already on a boat, and the boat was in the very center of Xuanwu Lake.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? Gu Qi touched the back of his head, which was still a little painful, and asked sharply.
"Gu Qi, oh no, He Wu, don't worry!"
"You recognized the wrong person, in Xia Gu Qi, it's not He Wu!" Gu Qi tried his best to stabilize his mind, and he was sloppy, if he could fool the past, it would naturally be the best.
"There is only one chance to deny it, but it's a pity that you didn't grasp it, now that you have admitted it, Suo Xing will be happy."
Gu Qi suddenly felt a cold chill in his heart, the other party said this, obviously he had already mastered sufficient clues, so ......
At this moment, his own admission or denial seemed to be a little pale, and he was terrified, only concerned about the identity and purpose of these people. If they are malicious, then nephew Lin Zhao will be very dangerous......
For a while, Gu Qi's face was blue and white. In the end, he is just an ordinary person with ordinary qualifications, and it is difficult to do it without being shocked......
"Admit it? Ho Wu, Kogoro! โ
"Kogoro?" Gu Qi was taken aback, how could he know? Only Sister Lin called herself that back then? Thinking of the scene back then, Gu Qi couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"Remember the familiar name?" The curtains moved lightly, and finally a man came out, and the iron mask shone brightly.
"Who the hell are you?" Gu Qi asked in a deep voice.
The man in the iron mask rarely took off his mask, revealing a handsome face, but after some years of wind and frost and vicissitudes, the tattoos on his face are still clearly visible.
"It's you, will...... Yuan...... Aren't you already ......" Gu Qi looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, stunned.
The Man in the Iron Mask put on his mask again and whispered, "Some people are alive but dead, and some are dead but still alive!" โ
"Good!" After Gu Qi saw the man in the iron mask, his mood had calmed down a lot, and he was no longer as frightened as before.
"I'm here in person, you should be relieved?"
"Why did you suddenly appear here?"
"Looking for you, looking for you, it's been twenty years!"
"Twenty years?" Gu Qi was a little shocked.
The man in the iron mask nodded and said, "Yes, I have been looking for you for twenty years on the orders of the ancestors. โ
"The Lord's Order?"
"Do you not believe in the Ancestor or do you not believe me?"
"Sister Lin said, the people around the ancestor are the most credible, what do I have to worry about!" Gu Qi looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's just that time has passed, and creation has made people, if it was a few years earlier, it would have been fine, but now...... What's the point now? Gu Qi's mood is something that outsiders can't empathize with at all.
"Of course there is, at least they can reunite their mother and son and see each other again!" The Iron Mask Sect Master replied softly.
"Mother and son reunion? Mother? Gu Qi looked at the Man in the Iron Mask in disbelief, staring at him, anxiously waiting for an answer.
"Yes, Madame is still alive, and I have been looking forward to seeing you again!"
"Sister Lin, is she really still alive?" Tears flashed in Gu Qi's eyes, and tears flowed down his face in an instant...... (To be continued......)
