Gu Qingyan didn't know about this, no wonder she was a little surprised when she saw the box, listened to the steward explain the reason, figured out what to understand, and said to the steward: "Keep it for now, I'll pick it up another day." But don't let anyone else see you. ”

Gu Qingyan thought that since it was his first work, it would be ugly, if it could still be colored, maybe it would be better, so he planned to bring it with him next time if he had the opportunity to go to Xieyang City, and then process it.

After that, Gu Qingyan picked a sandalwood comb for his mother, and Emperor Yunluan took care of her hair, and the hair comb she usually used to comb her hair would not be compromised if she could pay attention to it. Found two jade sword spikes, Gu Qingyan looked good-looking, so he asked Su Xin to write down and make gifts for Gu Ning and Xing Ming.

It was already evening when he came out of Diancui Building, and Su Xin reminded Gu Qingyan: "Master, we should also prepare to go to the terrace." ”

Today's banquet is in the warm pavilion of the terrace, and Su Xin is afraid that everyone has already set off to the terrace one after another.

Gu Qingyan nodded, she had just rearranged it before she came out in the afternoon, and now she asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Nope."

"Okay, let's go straight to the terrace." Gu Qingyan was too lazy to go back to the Pure Heart Courtyard again, so she took Su Xin directly from Diancui Building to the terrace.

"Yes."

Su Xin took the hand stove in Gu Qingyan's hand and gave the hand warmer cage to Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingyan's hands were always cold in winter, and Zong Yue always told Su Xin to keep Gu Qingyan's hands warm. Now that it has been out for a while, the hand stove is a little cold, so I changed the hand warmer cage for Gu Qingyan.

When the two of them came to the terrace warm pavilion, Xu Shaolin and Bailimo had already arrived, the two were sitting together and chatting about something, there were smiles in their eyes, and most of the other leaders also came, seeing Gu Qingyan come in, they got up and saluted and said hello, Gu Qingyan nodded and responded and came to Xu Shaolin's side.

"Master, they have already returned to the valley, and they will come over in a moment." Gu Qingyan said.

On the way here just now, I met the person who replied, saying that several elders had arrived at Peach Blossom Stream and were resting in their respective courtyards.

"Did you go to the Green Building?" Xu Shaolin asked.

"Well, everything has been ordered to prepare, if there are any other adjustments or arrangements during this period, the eldest brother will say it in advance."

Xu Shaolin nodded, Gu Qingyan was more like their logistics staff in Taohuajian, and the internal coordination and handling of these daily matters were in an orderly manner.

After a while, the people had already arrived, and then they saw that Zong Yue was late with Yiyi: "I'm late." ”

Xu Shaolin motioned for him to sit down, looked at Yiyi on the side, and said to Gu Qingyan: "Let Yiyi follow Su Xin for a while." ”

After speaking, Gu Qingyan motioned to Su Xin behind him to take Yiyi aside first, and he didn't have to wait by Gu Qingyan's side for the time being. Su Xin nodded, walked to Yiyi's side, half-squatted down, and said to Yiyi, "Yiyi, come with me." ”

took Yiyi's hand and took her away, Gu Qingyan teased Zong Yue: "I didn't expect that the second brother among us accepted the apprentice first." ”

Zong Yue glanced at Gu Qingyan: "It's not thanks to you." ”

"How is she doing with you?" Xu Shaolin asked.

Zong Yue said: "Fortunately, although I am not very talented, I am not stupid." ”

The only thing that gave him a headache was that Yiyi's interest in learning martial arts was still much higher than that of studying medicine, and he was worrying about himself, and when he saw Baili Mo on the other side, he smiled evilly.

Baili Mo, who inexplicably felt a different breath, looked at Zong Yue along his feelings, and met the eyes: "What are you going to do?" ”

"How about you put Yiyi in you for a few days?" Zongyue Road.

"What can I do?" Baili Mo's refusal, except for Gu Qingyan, he has never brought any other girls, besides, Gu Qingyan's temperament, sometimes he can't treat her as a girl.

After thinking about it, Zong Yue shook his head: "Forget it, let's let her stay in Baicaotang, otherwise I don't know how to explain to her father when I turn around." ”

"Eh, second brother, think about why Yiyi has to learn martial arts, don't you just think that only martial arts make her feel safe? If you ask her to change her perspective and think that studying medicine is also very powerful, it won't be over. Gu Qingyan stood and spoke without backache, and proposed to Zong Yue.

She doesn't know why Zong Yue has a headache, a girl spends five or five minutes of time in addition to sleeping and eating, on the surface, it's okay, but when she is studying medicine, she has to discuss martial arts with Zong Yue every three or two sentences, and she is not focused and distracted when she is studying medicine, Zong Yue has said that Yiyi has been several times, but every time she sees Yiyi's aggrieved look, she is at a loss.

"Do you want her to stay around?" Xu Shaolin asked a key question.

He could see that Baili Mo and Gu Qingyan didn't attach much importance to Yiyi, but it was not a way to drive out of Yuhualou and Peach Blossom Stream directly because of the friendship between Chen Su and Zong Yue.

If Zong Yue takes a fancy to this child in his heart and has the heart to officially accept him as an apprentice, he will ask Zong Yue to guide him well and reverse some of the too stubborn thoughts in this child's heart; If Zong Yue just thinks that it doesn't matter in his heart, he should ask Zong Yue to think about it first, and become a teacher for one day and a father for life; If Zong Yue was in his heart because Chen Suqiang kept this child, then Xu Shaolin didn't mind coming forward to send this child away.

After hearing this, Zong Yue was silent first, he thought that he should also think about what his starting point was.

"Give you three days, if you want to stay with Yiyi, let Yiyi officially apprentice after the day of the trial. If you don't stay, I'll send her out after the trial. Xu Shaolin said, "Let her continue to help herself in your Baicao Hall for the past three days." ”

Xu Shaolin aggravated the words "help yourself", the meaning of which is not clear. The child can't always get used to it, but she has to let her know the rules of survival in Peach Blossom Stream, no matter whose relatives or what kind of friendship it is, it's all the same.

After speaking, Xu Shaolin, Zong Yue, and Baili Mo all subconsciously looked at Gu Qingyan in unison, really since Gu Qingyan came out of the stone gate and began to be on their own, they unconsciously raised their requirements for the woman in the peach blossom stream.

"Valley master, the two lords and ladies are here." Dongli came forward to report at the right time.

Xu Shaolin nodded, and led everyone to get up to greet him, and soon saw Gu Ning, Yun Luan, Qianhuayu, and Xing Ming coming, everyone saluted, and the four came to the main seat.

"Father, mother, two masters." Gu Qing flute.

"Okay, your home field, we're just here for a meal, don't worry too much about us." Qianhuayu said to Xu Shaolin.

"Yes." The four of them replied in unison.

The dishes were served one after another, the wine was full, and Xu Shaolin said the words of toasting, and the banquet began. Between the staggering of the chips and the exchange of cups, the fatigue of the past few days of travel and preparation turned into the aroma of wine, which drifted into the air.

Seeing that it was almost time, Gu Qingyan gave Su Xin a look, and Su Xin came to Gu Qingyan's side: "Master." ”

"Ordered someone to withdraw the wine and bring the decanting soup." Gu Qingyan didn't forget that tomorrow was the right thing, and these big men couldn't help but get into the interest when they started drinking.

"Yes." Su Xin quietly retreated, called a few attendants to come over, and removed the wine jar from table to table, Shen Sanniang in the kitchen had already prepared the decanting soup, and the bowls were being served up.

Everyone drank the sobering soup and chatted for a while, and then the audience ended. Xu Shaolin and the others moved to the hall, and several elders sat in the main seat, Xu Shaolin roughly talked about the arrangements for the past few days, and asked Qianhuayu what they meant: "Master, can I participate in the inventory?" ”

Qianhuayu looked at Gu Ning and Xing Ming, and said, "You can listen to it, but we don't participate, just listen to it in the room tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you don't have to worry about us." ”

Xu Shaolin nodded, and no longer made other arrangements, seeing that everyone was tired, Xu Shaolin took the lead in sending several elders back to the courtyard, and everyone went back one after another.

Gu Qingyan, who returned to the Pure Heart Courtyard, rubbed his forehead, and Su Xin, who happened to come in with water, saw it: "Is there anything uncomfortable about the master?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that it's too noisy, and it gives me a headache." As he spoke, he took the honey handed over by Su Xin, took a sip and slowed down, and Su Xin served the change of clothes.

Just as he was about to lie on the bed, he heard a report from someone outside the door that Beiming was coming, Su Xin glanced at Gu Qingyan, took the cloak on the side and wrapped Gu Qingyan in it, and then said to the outside when Gu Qingyan sat on the soft couch: "Let him come in." ”

When Beiming came in, he saw Gu Qingyan sitting on the soft couch, with a tired face, he knew that Gu Qingyan was tired after today's banquet, but the matter of Shimen happened suddenly tonight, and he had to come to report.

"Master, someone in Shimen has moved."

"When?"

"Today's unitary time is over."

It was the time when the banquet was in full swing, but a wave of people gathered behind a rockery in Shimen, and someone said: "We are only afraid that our identities will be exposed." ”

"Why do you think so?"

"A few days ago, I heard that the fourth girl took her personal guard out of Shimen, saying that she went to the Misty Forest for a turn, and then came back from the direction of the small forest."

"So what, there are so many disciples in Shimen, it is impossible for her to recognize them all."

"It's better to be careful, now that we're getting closer and closer to the trial, don't act rashly anymore."

"But there's something that needs to be settled first." In the darkness, a person's eyes lit up.

"What's the matter?"

"Except for a few of us who are hiding in the trial, the other companions in the other squads who have also come in, we have to let them go to the Misty Forest first."

A total of fifteen of them came this time, and the task given to them was to ensure that ten people entered the secret guard team sent to the palace, but it was too revealing to let fifteen people be in one team, so the fifteen people were split into several groups, five people entered the trial team, and the others mixed into other teams in twos and threes, and entered the chaos of the mist forest to replace some people before the day of the trial.

But now there are many secret sentinels in Shimen, how they want to send a message to those people is a problem, and secondly, how can those people get out if the message is successful, the day before yesterday, Dongsheng took that group of secret guards out It was an opportunity, but Gu Qingyan did this only herself, Beiming and Dongsheng knew, and Gu Qingyan's temptation, the person who fell under his command was also their accomplice, so the news of what Gu Qingyan did that day did not come out, and they missed this opportunity.

"Isn't there a banquet today, a few ghost guards on the Shimen side have withdrawn, let's take a risk today."

They are the killers of the city of no return, and it is not impossible to break through when there is no way, at most they risk being discovered, but they have five people to sacrifice.

The crowd agreed to the idea, and took the risk to spread the news. And those who received the news began to go out one after another.

"Childe, shall we do it?" During the patrol, Dong Xin found something wrong and called Beiming, and the two observed in the dark.

Beiming shook his head, and at this time, Holly also rushed to Beiming's side with another ghost, Wei Dongyu, and Beiming said, "This saves us the trouble of finding them." ”

took out two bottles from his arms, and instructed Dong Xin: "Go find out who sent the news to these people, and then mark it." While giving Holly Dongyu an order: "Let's follow behind, Holly and I will follow a few into the Misty Forest, Dongyu can stop a few outside." Taken care of. ”

In the dark night, the three of them nodded, and Dong Xin left. Beiming and Holly Dongyu nodded, and the three of them also followed those black shadows.

Put six people into the Dark Fog Forest, Beiming and Holly chased after each other, leaving Winter Rain outside, and the four people who came back saw a figure in front of the Dark Fog Forest, they knew that they were still exposed, and inevitably a fight, one after another, they fell, Winter Rain dealt with the bodies of the three and cleaned up the area where the fight had just begun, and soon Beiming and Holly came back.

"How?" Bei Ming asked, the three people he was secretly chasing had already been marked and powdered on his body, so it would not be too late to clean them up on the day of the trial.

Holly is the same as him, Gu Qingyan has orders first, if the traces of these people are found in advance, they must leave a few live mouths first, and they must not act rashly, so anyone who is put into the forest, even if they enter Gu Qingyan's circle, just wait to let Gu Qingyan play with it, but they don't know it yet.

"I've got it done." Dong Yu said, after speaking, he pointed to the four corpses on the side, Beiming calculated, there are a total of ten people here, just wait to go back and see how many people Dong Xin has found, and the number of people will come out after estimating.

Looking at the four corpses, Beiming said, "Throw the cliff." "The cliff is not far from the fog forest, a few people carried the corpse to the cliff and went back, under the cliff is said to be a forest that no one has set foot in, there are many beasts, snakes and insects, but I am afraid that it will not be long before the flesh and blood will become a pair of dry bones.

Back at Shimen, Dong Xin's side also ended: "There are five of me here." ”

With such a plus, fifteen people, Beiming sighed a little that he was really willing not to return to the city, but he didn't know who gave them the order, whether he could use his brains well, and he didn't pay attention to where to fight, so he boldly and directly provoked Shimen.

"Well, you all go down first, keep an eye as usual, just don't startle the snake." If the matter can be regarded as having a result, Beiming has to report to Gu Qingyan quickly.

Holly, Dong Xin, and Dong Yu left, and Beiming left Shimen and went to the Pure Heart Courtyard.

Gu Qingyan listened to it and calculated: "There are still ten people left." ”

This seems to be a bit large for her alone, Yu Guang suddenly glanced at the brocade box on the table, I don't know if she can use the Gu worm, think about it or forget it, after all, this matter is still not for her to lose, let's try the Gu worm again in the next target.

"So, do you need to do it in advance?" Beiming asked, Gu Qingyan had made up her mind on the day of the trial, she was going to enter the Misty Forest to kill these little ants with her own hands, but Beiming was worried that there were too many people, and Gu Qingyan couldn't take care of them.

Gu Qingyan thought for a while and shook her head: "No, it's just that you have to come too." "If Beiming has her to share, it will not be a problem to complete it within the planned time. The only thing is that the two of them must be able to ensure that all the people who infiltrate the stone gate are dealt with in the forest, otherwise once they are outside, that person will have a chance to live. Originally, Beiming was placed outside to block this possible loophole.

Beiming naturally knew what Gu Qingyan was considering, so he said: "Master rest assured, his subordinates will solve it as quickly as possible." ”

Gu Qingyan nodded: "Well, that's it, you only need to solve three, and I'll figure out the rest by myself and solve it as soon as possible." ”

"Yes."

"It's hard work, tell the other ghost guards, not only these few people, but also the others can't let go of any suspicious things, it's not a small responsibility for Shimen to mix in others or every team." Gu Qing flute.

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Beiming knew that after this incident, he was afraid that they, including Gu Qingyan, would inevitably be punished.

After saying that, Beiming retreated first, and Gu Qingyan lay on the bed, maybe she was really tired, and soon fell asleep. There was no dream in the night.
