"Well, I see. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shi Ximing smiled, "Even I'm curious about this person, let alone the eldest brother." Then he said, "Does he know your identity, big brother?" ”

Speaking of this, Xu Gu smiled bitterly, "I haven't even told him my real name. Seeing the disapproving look on Shi Ximing's face, he said again: "At that time, I was a little disheartened, and I was ...... Now I can't change my mind. ”

"Which name did Big Brother use?"

"Xu Gu, the word is strong."

"So that's it, and it's not a fake name." A smile appeared on Shi Ximing's face, "It's just that the eldest brother didn't say his real name or tell him the origin, didn't he have any suspicions?" ”

Xu Gu smiled bitterly again, "Where is there no suspicion, he has tested me several times openly and secretly." I think he'll know this sooner or later. ”

Shi Ximing was a little disapproving, "Since that's the case, why do you want to stay by his side, big brother?" Once ......"

Xu Gu interrupted him, "I want to try again." ”

Try again, what to try, the two people present have a number in their hearts.

Shi Ximing sighed, "Now that the eldest brother has made a decision, I have nothing more to say, since the eldest brother has chosen this path, if there is anything, just give an order......

"No need......" Xu Gu interrupted him, "It's just my business, I don't want to involve you anymore, you go and do what you have to do, don't care about me, don't send someone to follow me, you know, you can't keep up if you want to." ”

Shi Ximing was silent for a while, and finally sighed and nodded in agreement.

The two sat and chatted for a long time, during which they set up a meal and gave wine twice. It wasn't until the night was dark that Xu Gu finally made up his mind and got up to leave.

"This time, I only saw you alone, and I don't need to tell them about my return this time." Seeing Shi Ximing nodding, Xu Gu patted him on the shoulder again and turned around to leave.

Shi Ximing took two steps forward and stopped Xu Gu, he took out a bag from his arms, "Big brother...... If you want to leave, I can't stop you, when you left, you left your seal to me, leave this time, take this and go. ”

Xu Gu opened the bag, and inside was a small red seal the size of a baby's fist. Xu Gu didn't even have to take it out, just looking at this familiar color, Xu Gu also knew what was engraved on the bottom of this seal. After all, this was given to Shi Ximing by himself ten years ago.

Without waiting for Xu Gu to refuse, Shi Ximing said again: "I have kept this Dongjun seal for ten years, and I have not left it for a day. The eldest brother accepted this thing, so as to keep a thought. Besides, the power of the individual will eventually come to an end. If you encounter any difficulties, with this seal, you can also give your brothers a chance to help your eldest brother. Even if it doesn't involve the affairs of the government, if it is like last time, let the eldest brother have an accident in our foothold, how can I deal with myself? ”

Xu Gu listened, put away the bag, didn't say anything more, waved his hand, took the hat, and left.

Shi Ximing stood by the door, watching Xu Gu walk away step by step in the dim night, and his heart was full of inexplicable feelings. It wasn't until Xu Gu's figure disappeared that he withdrew his gaze and walked through the door. As soon as he waved, a man who had been standing by the door next to him stepped forward.

Shi Ximing walked towards the house and said, "This time the incident happened suddenly, I rushed here, and I couldn't be distracted to notice whether there was anyone behind me, did those tails sweep away?" They must not be allowed to touch it. ”

"It's all taken care of."

Shi Ximing bowed slightly, walked to the table, pulled out a few pieces of paper, picked up the brand-new ink block next to the table, poured some water, and began to grind the ink. While grinding the ink, he said unhurriedly, "I will send someone to the treasury to pick two suitable things and send them to Du Mansion, just say that I have something urgent to leave this time, and I don't have time to apologize in person." I'll visit again tomorrow. ”

Shi Ximing wrote more than ten letters in a moment. He put them together one by one, lit the lamp, took out the paint and melted it, took out a silk bag in his bosom, opened the layers of silk, and took out a small gold seal. After rubbing it for a long time, I put it back again. Only fire paint was used, and no printing was made.

He handed over the letters, "You will personally run and order all lines, well, give priority to the line from Yangzhou to Hangzhou." Once someone holds the Dongjun seal, treat each other with a great gift, and report it to me immediately as soon as there is news. These letters are sent to Hebo, Yushi, Lieque, Feilian, Chang Yi and others, you know the candidates......" and glanced at the table again, "Today's report is meritorious, and twenty taels of silver will be allocated to the people who are guarding here as wine money." ”

"Do you remember everything?"

"Remember."

"I'll leave it to you." Shi Ximing nodded slightly, went out to lead the horse, stepped on the horse, and was about to drive the horse forward, when he suddenly thought of something again, and showed a slightly narrow smile, "Send me another message, 'If you have any doubts about this, go and see that person in person, and your doubts should be dispelled.'" ’”

When Xu Gu came back, Gu Yan was standing in the lobby, and when he saw Xu Gu stepping through the door, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This is really a coincidence, I just came in, and you came." After speaking, I suddenly vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong.

"I went to meet a friend." Xu Gu said with a smile.

Hearing the voice, Gu Yanfang came to a conclusion about the slightest wrongness, he secretly glanced at Xu Gu, and sure enough, he saw that Xu Gu's eyes were slightly red and swollen. couldn't help but wonder in his heart, he couldn't think of what Xu Gu was crying like at all. He thought to himself, but his face didn't show surprise, "Friend? This is even more coincidental. I also met an old friend in Yangzhou today. ”

"That's a coincidence. How are you doing today? Xu Gu said with a smile.

"Except for the surprise of meeting a friend, it's not much to mention, it's just a description of generations, recognition of some relatives, and a lot of polite words." Gu Yan said with a smile, "I don't know most of the uncles and nephews there. ”

Xu Gu laughed a few times, and then said, "It's a little cold today, I'll go change my clothes and get a good night's sleep." If you don't have good wine in the evening, don't call me. ”

Gu Yan smiled and nodded slightly, and when Xu Gu left, he couldn't help but shake his head with some doubts, and repeated in a low voice: "A little cold?" After saying that, I felt a little unbearable.

================================================

The weather is cold, everyone should pay attention to the cold and keep warm. I had to spend three or four hours on 2,000 words, and sure enough, the weather was cold in winter, and I was even more sad when I was already disabled. (。??) ノ
