Even if he didn't say it, Gu Mingyuan also felt the panic and uneasiness in Ning An'an.

His heart softened a little, and he softened his tone and said, "There are enough people who are worried, so what's the use of having one more of her? Rather than this, it is better to hide it from her, at least she is at ease. ”

Hearing this, Ning An nodded, and asked tentatively, "Then, is it still completely impossible to contact Master?"

Since Zhang Chenglin left, there were letters coming before, but five days ago, he couldn't receive anything.

Not only that, but the people sent out by Gu Mingyuan also found nothing.

Since Zhang Chenglin entered the hinterland of Lingnan, he has cut off contact with all of them.

If it's just like this, but the news from his people is that the situation over there is unstable, and it seems that someone has been making trouble.

In that case, it was difficult to make Gu Mingyuan's heart steady.

Ning An sighed and said, "Senior brother, why don't I go over?"

Although he is young, he has seen the world many times when he has followed Zhang Chenglin to the north and south, and it is okay to go out by himself.

Although he has hardly been to Lingnan, Ning An is still not afraid to look for people.

It's just that Gu Mingyuan directly refused: "No, the master can't be contacted anymore, you still stay in the capital honestly, don't mess up." ”

Seeing that Ning An wanted to argue something, Gu Mingyuan softened his tone and said, "It's approaching the New Year, you are waiting in the capital, let's wait for the master to come back for the New Year?"

He rarely coaxed people like this, Ning An heard what he said, and suddenly realized how much Sister Qin's appearance had changed his senior brother.

Ning An's mind ran for a moment, and he nodded involuntarily: "Okay, I'll listen to Senior Brother." Speaking of which, is it going well for Senior Brother now?"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Gu Mingyuan knew what he was asking.

He didn't hide it, but only said truthfully: "I won't tell you anything, now I suspect that the people who are making trouble in the capital are the same group as the group more than ten years ago." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ning An's eyes suddenly widened, and he said, "You mean ......?"

More than ten years ago, the Lingnan Rebellion led to a war between the two countries, and people from the royal families on both sides were involved, and Zhang Ziyao, who was the head of the Tai Hospital case at the time, was also the most implicated.

At that time, there were countless casualties, family affairs and state affairs were connected, and even if the emperor decreed that the matter would be closed, everyone knew in their hearts that the truth of the matter may not be the evidence in front of them.

The truth that could not be found out at that time allowed those who used insidious tricks behind their backs to shrink back and wait for the next opportunity.

Over the years, Master has been investigating this matter, but to no avail, and it is not until these two years that some clues can be found.

However, at this time, Gu Mingyuan said that the people who stumbled with him this time were the same people back then?

What does this mean, it means that that group of people not only appeared again, but also changed their goals.

They were so disturbed back then, but this time, what do they want to do?

Listening to Ning An's words, Gu Mingyuan muttered: "At present, this king is only suspicious, and there is no definite evidence, but this matter is speculation, and it is probably not far from the truth." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Mingyuan said again: "So before the truth is found out, this king hopes that you can stay in the capital first, and there is no news from the master's side for the time being, which is not necessarily a bad thing." Sometimes, news is the result. As for you, I still have something for you to do when I go back, so you can wait patiently for a while, okay?"

He had already said it to this point, and Ning An naturally would not disagree. He nodded heavily and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, what do you need me to do, just one word, I will listen to your orders at any time, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire will not hesitate." ”

After Ning An's words, Gu Mingyuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, what this king needs you to do, you don't need to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire." You should take this year well first, and I also need to peel off the cocoon and take my time. ”

......

At noon, a banquet was held in the Huai'an Palace.

It is said that it is a banquet, but in fact, they are all acquaintances, so they are very comfortable when eating.

After being full of wine and food, Gu Mingyuan went out in advance, and Qin Huaiyu sent Yao Yue'er and them to the door, and instructed: "Be careful on the way back, you just drank some wine and let the coachman take care of it." ”

Hearing this, without waiting for Yao Yue'er to answer, Qin Hongyao on the side smiled and said, "Big sister, don't worry, let's send Sister Yao back first, and then go back to the house, it's not far away anyway." ”

Ning An also nodded and said, "We'll send Sister Yao home first, Sister Qin can rest assured." Go back to your room, it's too cold right now, watch out for a cold. ”

Hearing their words, Yao Yue'er couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm not a child, I have a coachman, there will be no danger." Huaiyu, go in quickly, your wind and cold are good, and if you freeze again, you will have to drink medicine. ”

Qin Huaiyu responded with a smile and said, "You guys get in the car first, and when you leave, I'll go back." ”

Who knew that before her words fell, she saw Luo Yan walking over under the guidance of her subordinates.

He first saluted Qin Huaiyu, and then looked at Yao Yue'er with a smile and said, "The maid said that you came over, so I guessed that you have to drink, are you drunk?"

When he said this, Luo Yan carefully put on the clothes in his hand for Yao Yue'er, and she looked very serious.

When Qin Huaiyu saw him coming, he raised his eyebrows with a smile, and looked at Yao Yue'er with a bit of banter.

Yao Yue'er was already a little shy by his actions in front of everyone, but when she saw Qin Huaiyu's expression, she bit her lip more and more, gently pushed him, and said, "I only drank a few glasses, but I wasn't drunk, why are you here?"

Luo Yan put on the cloak for her, and gave Gu Mingyuan a salute to them, before he smiled and said, "I went to the mansion to look for you, and I was a little worried when I knew that you were not there, so I came over to take a look." It's a coincidence that I'm in a hurry, you're getting ready to go, aren't you?"

Everyone has arrived at the Hanging Flower Gate, so naturally they have to go.

Yao Yue'er nodded in response, then turned back to look at Qin Huaiyu and said with a smile: "Then we'll go back first." ”

It's getting late at this time, and it's a little cooler than before. Although Luo Yan brought her clothes, Yao Yue'er still felt a little chilly on her body.

Seeing this, Qin Huaiyu smiled and said, "You guys are slower on the road, Jinshu, and send a guest." ”

Qin Hongyao and the others on the side also said goodbye to Qin Huaiyu, and the group exchanged a few words of greeting, and then left one after another.

After the people left, Gu Mingyuan smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the room too." ”
