In the evening, Chen Gong came to Li Hong's study.

Li Hong opened his mouth and asked, "How is the investigation?" Is there anything unusual about them? ”。

Chen Gong replied, "Hezhou Assassin Shi Qianlong lived in a simple house and didn't have much contact, so I haven't found any useful clues about him until now. However, we learned that Qianlong's wife believed in Buddhism very much, and went to the Lama Temple outside the city every three or five days..."

"Hehe-" Li Hong sneered, after Chen Gong said this, he seemed to suddenly realize, who else could be related to Buddhism, who else wanted to deal with him besides Liu Ju? However, what surprised Li Hong was that Li Hong's ability was so strong that he could make the people of Hezhou work for him regardless of their own lives? Just like Guo Da and Guo Xiang's brother and sister...

"How's the situation in Liu's Mansion being investigated?" Li Hong continued to ask.

Chen Gong replied, "The situation in Liu's Mansion is a bit complicated, but what makes us suspect the most is the Wang Po who often goes in and out of Liu's Mansion, this woman is a matchmaker, she often goes in and out of big households, and specializes in being a matchmaker for others, but she has made too many mistakes in the past two days to enter Liu's Mansion, and there are too many marriages introduced to Liu's Mansion, so we have to doubt her true identity." ”

"What about Guo Da and Guo Xiang's brother and sister?" Li Hong asked again.

In fact, he still cares about these two siblings in his heart, because the two of them make him think of Zhou Xing and Zhou Juan.

However, some of Guo Xiang's practices also made him very unslow, even if he knew that Guo Xiang and Guo Da might be forced to do so, he still couldn't let go. Because he is not a saint ... Someone disobeyed him, someone took advantage of him, how could he be relieved so quickly?

"Their problem seems to be very simple, there is no too complicated experience, but Wang Po lives next door to their house, and today Wang Po also went to Guo Xiang's house and stayed for about half a pillar of incense." Chen Gong said.

"And..."Chen Gong hesitated a little.

Li Hong frowned and said, "You can say anything." ”

"It seems that the parents of Guo Xiang and Guo Da's siblings were not killed by Lu Dongzan and the Tubo people," Chen Gong said.

"The wife of Hezhou Thorn Shi often goes to the Lama Temple, and the Wang Po frequently goes in and out of Liu's Mansion, and lives next door to Guo Xiang's house, and Guo Xiang has had a lot of unpleasant things happen to Liu's Mansion..."Li Hong analyzed, "Do you see anything in this?" ”

"The four families don't seem to have any connection with each other, but there are all kinds of signs that they seem to be connected with each other, and the person who connects is Wang Po?" Chen Gong analyzed.

"Yes." Li Hong nodded and said, "You should check the details of Wang Po, remember not to startle the snake, if this woman is really Liu Ju's person, she must know our every move very well, don't arouse her suspicion when you check her." ”

"No!" Chen Gong received the order.

"Your Highness, is the person who is Ludong Zan Neiying this time really Liu Ju's person?" Chen Gong asked puzzled. He felt that he could understand Liu Ju's fight with the prince, but he couldn't understand that this group of monks colluded with Tubo and betrayed the interests of the Tang Dynasty. Because the Tibetans did not believe in Buddhism in the Central Plains, they only believed in their own Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism.

"Liu Ju is really a lonely nemesis." Li Hong sighed, "If it's really him, Gu can't take it lightly this time." ”

Chen Gong saw that the prince was going to be busy, so he bowed down and withdrew from the study.

Li Hong spread out the rice paper and began to write, and after a while, he wrote all the contents of this trip to Luoyang, stamped his own seal, and prepared to send it to the prefectures, counties and pavilions along the way, so that they could do a good job of reception.

Because escorting Lu Dongzan was very important, and he couldn't let the army accompany him, he could only be cautious along the way.

This time, Sun made an appointment to envoy Tianzhu, he asked Zhao Zhongyong to protect the safety of Sun Zhu, Guo Shifeng wanted to invade Tubo from Tianzhu, and Li Duoqi was transferred away by him. When Li Hong returned to Luoyang this time, there was only Chen Gong and his eight hundred guards by his side.

After writing the edict, Li Hong returned to the dormitory and went to bed.

The next morning, he got up and finished exercising, and when he returned to the hall, he found that Guo Xiang had arrived and prepared breakfast for him.

A bowl of gruel, three side dishes, and a pot helmet.

Li Hong was very satisfied with Guo Xiang's actions, nodded slightly, sat down and began to drink porridge.

After breakfast, he returned to the study to read, and practiced swords and arrows in the school field.

The day ended like this, Guo Xiang didn't do anything, just occasionally poured tea and water for Li Hong, and the work was very easy.

In the evening, Guo Xiang's task came, because as a maid, she was going to bathe and change clothes for the prince.

If the palace maid who has been trained is familiar with this matter, there will be no problems. But Guo Xiang didn't have this kind of training, she was very clumsy, coupled with her shyness, it took an hour for Li Hong to take a bath.

When Li Hong walked out of the bathtub and Guo Xiang was about to change his clothes, he suddenly hugged Guo Xiang.

Guo Xiang instinctively wanted to resist, but suddenly her work stopped, because she thought of her younger brother Guo Da, and thought of Wang Po's words, she must know what she should do.

Li Hong judged from Guo Xiang's expression and movements that she had a problem, but naturally Guo Xiang took the initiative to send it to the door, why did he refuse? I didn't stop my movements, but continued to go deeper...

Immediately, both of them collapsed on the bed...

An hour later, Li Hong got out of bed, took a breath in front of the window, and came to the study to read, Guo Xiang put on his clothes and went to the study to serve him.

There weren't too many words between the two, as if nothing had happened just now, but Guo Xiang's heart had already been turned upside down. Because she didn't expect that she would give away her body so easily, and it was given to a man she didn't like who was two years younger than him.

However, isn't this what she has decided a long time ago? What's the use of regretting it now?

"You know what? When I was in Chang'an City, I met a woman like you, whose parents died early and who lived with her younger brother. Li Hong said that the woman in his mouth was naturally Zhou Juan.

Guo Xiang didn't make a sound, just listened quietly.

Li Hong continued, "In order to make a living, she opened a small shop, and while working hard, she worked hard to get her younger brother to study, and wanted him to get ahead. ”

"Gu likes their sister and brother very much, so she let her brother enter the Chang'an County Yadang, this year he is going to take a scientific examination, and there is no problem in winning the champion." Li Hong said, "You have the same experience as her, and your brother Guo Da is also very smart, you shouldn't indulge him so much, you should let him learn something, it's a little late to let him read now, but he can do a lot of things besides reading." ”

After speaking, Li Hong strode out of the study, leaving Guo Xiang with a pensive face. Guo Xiang's fate deserves sympathy, and he likes that he can give Guo Xiang a chance.

After Li Hong left, Guo Xiang stood silent, and on the desk, there was the edict that Li Hong had written last night and had not yet been sent.
