The old marquis didn't let Gu Yan settle the bill after all, he took out the money bag, took out a silver nude from it and handed it to Xiao Er, but maybe he took it too quickly, and actually brought out a pipa knot braided with red rope.

Gu Yan quickly picked up the pipa knot, this pipa knot looked a little old, faded and hairy.

It's hard to imagine that a man with a strong iron bone would have such a thing in his money bag.

"Your confidante gave it to you?" Gu Yan asked.

At first glance, it was given by a woman, but it would never be the old lady in the house, he and the old lady Gu looked like each other, so he would not wear what she sent.

"Ahem, no, don't talk nonsense." The old marquis put the pipa knot back into the money bag.

Gu Yancai didn't believe it, he asked curiously: "I can't see it, you still have a confidante, where is she now?" ”

It's definitely not in the house, the old aunt in the house has already been cleaned up by Mrs. Gu.

The old marquis has never mentioned his feelings to others over the years, and how much bitterness is held in the bottom of his heart, and to be honest, he does have a little desire to pour out.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "It belongs to a friend of mine, he fell to me, and I was about to return it to him." ”

My friend?

What a familiar beginning!

Gu Yan, who had read all the Fengyue scripts of the old sacrificial wine, said that he understood, very well!

He raised his handsome little eyebrows: "Then where is your friend's confidante now?" ”

The old marquis sighed abruptly: "She...... Monks. ”

"Why do you want to become a monk?" Gu Yan asked.

"My husband passed away, and I couldn't help myself. However, ......," said this, the old marquis paused, "it may also be to be able to see my friend again in his lifetime." ”

I can't see it, the old man is so attractive to women.

Gu Yan didn't ask in detail for the reason he couldn't help himself, his focus was on the latter sentence, and he said thoughtfully: "In this way, this confidante has a deep affection for your friend." ”

The old marquis looked down at the concentric knot in his hand and said, "It's a pity that we met too late, and I can't wait to meet when we are not married." ”

Gu Yan said: "But isn't her father-in-law already dead?" And she also lost her hair for your friend, do you ...... her heart Ahem, I mean, can't that friend of yours really see it? ”

The old marquis frowned: "What do you mean-"

Gu Yan said, "I mean, she may have been waiting for your friend to take her away. ”

"Take her with you...... Leave? "The old marquis was shocked, this kid is really speechless!

Gu Yan nodded: "Yes." I ask you, why does your friend think that she became a monk to see him? She said it herself, didn't she? Or, she makes your friend feel her affection for your friend. ”

“…… Well. The old marquis nodded in acknowledgement.

Gu Yan slapped the table: "Isn't this enough!" She is a woman, and it is already her limit to be able to show a little friendship, she can't just talk about you eloping with me, this kind of thing has to be taken by us men! ”

The old marquis was stunned by Gu Yan's words, and forgot to say that you are only fifteen, and the milk smell has not dried up, so you are not a real man.

"This—this is too much of a rebellion!"

How did this kid grow up, and he was more daring than his three older brothers!

Gu Yan: "What's so rebellious?" If you like it, go for it. ”

The old marquis hesitated: "In case she doesn't want to-"

"If you don't want to, it means that she doesn't have you in her heart...... That friend! Gu Yan patted his grandfather on the shoulder, and analyzed for him with his senior experience in reading the scriptures of the wind and moon, "She is a monk, what else can't she let go?" If she's not willing to elope, there's only one truth – she doesn't like your friend and just keeps taking advantage of your friend's feelings for her! ”

-

Gu Jiao was busy in the hospital all morning, and in the afternoon, she was finally a little free, and it was rare that she didn't have to make black powder, so she lay on the rattan chair under the big tree to cool off for a while.

Li Wanwan, who is separated by a wall, is practicing.

She is used to coming here at this hour every day to practice the piano for Gu Jiao, but she doesn't know if Gu Jiao is there every time.

Her piano skills have improved greatly compared to years ago, but she doesn't know if there is something on her mind today, and she plays absent-mindedly.

"You're playing the wrong game again." Gu Jiao said lightly.

"Ahh Li Wanwan's face was pale, she didn't expect the girl to be here today, after all, the girl hadn't listened to her practice for several days.

She straightened her face and said, "I—I'll play it again." ”

The results were still unsatisfactory.

She was so nervous that sweat broke out in her palms.

It's strange that the other party is obviously not her master, but she is even more nervous than in front of her master.

"I'm sorry, I should have been more attentive......" she bit her lip and whispered, "I probably won't be here next month...... I...... I'm getting married......"

Her age is actually not very old, only sixteen, this dynasty is not as good as the previous dynasty, and it will not be criticized for a woman to marry at the age of eighteen or nineteen.

It's just that it also depends on the specific market, the daughter of a big family can afford it, and a woman from a poor family like her must marry out early.

I heard that the girl in the countryside got married earlier, so I thought about it, I was lucky, I finally got to sixteen, and I caught up with the good time to go to women's school for half a year, and because of the girl's study, I got to know the girl, and got so much guidance from the girl.

Gu Jiao: "Oh. ”

No one played the piano for me anymore.

When did Xiao Jiangli learn the piano?

"I've been wanting to say goodbye to the girl these days, and I want to say thank you to her. My biggest gain in the girls' school is to meet the girl, originally my family had to drop out of school after the year, the girl changed the tune for me so that I was favored by Xie Leshi, under his repeated insistence, my family let me study for half a year. ”

Li Wanwan said, her cheeks flushed slightly, "Speaking of which, this family affair is also thanks to the girl." I played the piano well, and was heard by a son of a family, who came to my door and begged my father. ”

Gu Jiao didn't see her expression, but it was not difficult to hear the longing for family affairs between her words, it seemed that she also liked that son.

"Girl, I'm ...... Can I give you something? You've taught me so much, and I'm sorry if I'm going to leave like this. Please accept my thank-you gift. It's not something of value, a small medicine bag, please smile at it. ”

"Hmm." Gu Jiao responded lightly.

Li Wanwan was overjoyed, and took out the medicine bag that had been rusted for several nights from her wide sleeve, so as not to throw it away too lightly, and she filled it with a few dates.

"Girl, go on!"

She threw the medicine bag over the courtyard wall.

Gu Jiao caught it with one hand: "Thank you." ”

Li Wanwan smiled brightly: "It should be!" Then, I take my leave! In the last few days, I will try to play as many songs as I can for the girl, and if I don't show up one day, it will be ...... Won't come again. ”

In the end, she suddenly felt a little lost in her heart.

I can't bear the girl.

In the future, I don't know if I can meet such a person who is also a teacher and a friend.

She packed the guqin, picked up the case and left.

Syllable!

A small bag landed on her case impartially.

She was slightly stunned: "Girl? ”

"Wedding gifts." Gu Jiao said.

Li Wanwan smiled happily, smiling like a child.

"Miss Gu, Miss Gu! Someone asked a doctor to visit the doctor, saying that the situation was critical! The little third son hurriedly ran over.

"How critical?" Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Sanzi said fearfully: "Hand...... Hand broken! Cut off! He's a lumberjack! ”

This is a major operation, and Gu Jiao has to go there in person.

"Okay, I'll go." Gu Jiao put a small basket on her back, and the third son drove to the Qingliu Street mansion that the little guy said.

As he walked, the little third son felt that something was wrong: "Hey? This is not the way to Castle Street! ”

The little servant rode in front, and when he heard this, he didn't look back, and said, "When I came, the road was being built over there, so we have to go around here." ”

"What's wrong? Isn't it the right way? Gu Jiao asked lightly.

"A little bit of a detour." The little third son muttered.

Gu Jiao opened the curtain and looked at the scene along the street.

Not every street in the capital is bustling and lively, and some remote places are very desolate.

This is an old street, there are not many pedestrians, there are not many shops, and further ahead is an official road, lined with wheat fields.

That's right, the capital also has fields, but they are all in relatively remote areas.

"What a great place for an ambush......"

This is the instinct that I practiced when I was a killer in my previous life, and when I see the lot, I will always subconsciously judge whether it is suitable or not.

But as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she paused.

Wrong.

Something is very wrong.

It's the killer's intuition.

Gu Jiao lowered the curtain and lifted the curtain in front of her, she shot out a silver needle, stabbing the little guy who was leading the way in front.

The little guy screamed, and Zijun immediately fell.

"Miss Gu, you-" The little third son was dumbfounded.

"U-turn!" Gu Jiao didn't have time to explain to him.

The third son is worthy of being a person who has seen the world with Gu Jiao, and he didn't drop the chain at a critical moment, and the second owner is here for fear that he has already fainted by pinching people.

He didn't ask why he turned around, he believed Gu Jiao.

It's a pity that it's too late, and the black-clothed people who are lying in ambush under the ridge are like arrows, rushing towards Gu Jiao's carriage.

Everyone is carrying a big knife with a cold light in their hands, their eyes are sharp, and their murderous aura is like a rainbow!

Gu Jiao didn't need to count to know that there were ten people on the other side.

I really look up to her, and sent so many people to besiege her!

"You go first!"

Gu Jiao jumped out of the carriage.

The third son is not pretentious, he knows that he doesn't know martial arts, and if he stays, he will only become a burden to Miss Gu.

It's better to hurry up and report to the official, maybe I can move the rescue for Miss Gu.

Of course, it would be nice if he could lure away a few Assassins.

For Miss Gu, he fought hard!

"Come on! Assassins! ”

He tugged on the reins and looked back.

Well, one of them is catching up......

Gu Jiao was surrounded by the men in black.

She swept her cold eyes: "Let's go together, it's too tiring to come one by one." ”

The men in black all showed contempt in their eyes, and rushed towards Gu Jiao with their knives.

"Just take you to try my black powder." Gu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, but unfortunately there were only three, and she didn't know what the power was.

In her previous life, she had played with a small cannon that could explode without lighting it or throwing it on the ground.

The black powder she made was similar to the small smashing cannon, but it was more powerful.

Gu Jiao took out a black powder and threw it on the body of a man in black, and a loud bang was heard, and the man in black was stunned.

Fair.

Gu Jiao was not too satisfied, nor was she very disappointed.

The main reason why she blew herself up into the sky was that she used a lot of materials, and it wasn't bad that such a small one could blow people up.

This group of assassins had never seen such a strange hidden weapon, the momentum was so great and powerful that everyone was shocked.

Everyone looked at Gu Jiao with fear.

Gu Jiao coldly hooked the corners of her lips, snatched the knife of one of them, and knocked the person away with one punch.

Only then did the rest of the people react and rushed towards Gu Jiao again.

However, Fang Cai's explosion directly blew up their morale, Gu Jiao solved it quickly, and after the last assassin also fell, Gu Jiao clapped her hands lightly.

But what no one expected was that a dangerous aura was approaching.

What a terrible breath!

Gu Jiao's heart was shocked, and she couldn't dodge.

The man was too fast!

At the last moment, a sword light slashed down, blocking the man's assassination, and stretched out his other arm, grabbed Gu Jiao's waist, and led her back quickly.

"Wait for me here!"

Gu Changqing said, and killed the other party with a sword.

This is the first time Gu Jiao has seen Gu Changqing's true meaning to do it with others, which is much stronger than he imagined, but he is still not the other party's opponent.

That is a person who even Gu Jiao will have a trace of jealousy.

This person's strength is stronger than his previous life.

How so?

Who is he?

Gu Changqing slapped the other party and stabilized his body with his sword.

Gu Jiao took out the last two black powders and threw them at the other party suddenly!

The man thought it was an ordinary hidden weapon, and when he slashed it with a sword, he heard two loud bangs, and it is unknown whether the person was frightened or shocked by the black powder.

Anyway, he took a few steps back, a hint of surprise flashing in his cold eyes.

Didn't either blow up?

He is worthy of being a master among the masters

Gu Jiao put her hand into her purse and continued to dig it out, but in fact, it was gone, she just wanted to be able to bluff the other party, but fortunately she was bluffed.

The other party glanced at Gu Jiao coldly, and left with light skills.

Gu Changqing looked at the direction of the other party's departure, suddenly covered his chest, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Jiao hurriedly stepped forward and took his pulse.

Gu Changqing waved his hand: "I'm fine, a little internal injury, just take a rest." ”

As he spoke, his knuckles wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and with the other hand, he withdrew the long sword from its scabbard, looked at Gu Jiao and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine." Gu Jiao shook her head.

Gu Changqing whistled, and his horse rushed over.

The brother and sister got on the horse.

"These people?" Gu Jiao looked at the man in black who fainted on the ground.

Gu Changqing seems to be very experienced: "I can't ask anything, that talent is the key, these are just some small people in the rivers and lakes, and they don't even know the identity of the gold owner." ”

Gu Jiao nodded.

The brother and sister returned to Bishui Hutong.

The old sacrificial wine had just returned from the Guozi Prison, and when he saw Gu Changqing with a pale face, his brows were furrowed: "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Changqing looked at Gu Jiao and said, "I met a group of assassins." ”

"Assassins?" The eyes of the old sacrificial wine roamed over the two of them, "Assassinate you or assassinate Jiaojiao?" ”

"Assassinate me." Gu Jiao said truthfully.

She jumped off the horse, handed her hand to Gu Changqing, and helped him down.

The old priest looked around, pulled the reins of the horse, and said to the two, "Come with me." ”

……

"You're saying that man's martial arts might not even be able to beat your grandfather?"

After hearing what had happened, the old sacrificial wine frowned deeply, "It's impossible...... How could your grandfather not be able to defeat an Assassin? ”

"The breath on that person's body is very ......" Gu Jiao wanted to say familiar, because she smelled the breath of the same kind on the other party, and the other party was a killing machine like herself in her previous life.

"Weird." Gu Changqing finished the unfinished words for Gu Jiao, "All the masters I have seen before are different, the number of martial arts paths is different, the internal strength is also different, and - he has a tattoo on his face!" ”

The man was wearing a mask, but Gu Jiao threw out that very strange secret weapon and exploded the other party's mask.

He saw half a tattoo.

"What kind of tattoo?" The old sacrificial wine brought a pen and paper, "You draw it for me." ”

Gu Changqing drew half a tail.

The old priest's expression changed: "It's the Dragon Shadow Guard!" ”

"What is the Dragon Shadow Guard?" Gu Jiao asked.

Gu Changqing had already understood, and his expression became solemn: "It's the dead soldier of the first emperor." ”

The old sacrificial wine pondered: "In order to deal with Zhuang Jinse, the first emperor secretly trained a group of dead soldiers, the youngest of whom was only five years old, and he passed them on to His Majesty before he died. ”

Gu Changqing frowned: "Your Majesty wants to kill Jiaojiao?" ”

The old sacrificial wine waved his hand: "No." His Majesty is very fond of Jiaojiao, and it is impossible to hurt her. His Majesty had transferred Long Yingwei to another person, also to protect her from Zhuang Jinse's persecution. ”

Gu Changqing was stunned and said, "That person is-"

The old sacrificial wine said, "Concubine Jing." ”

Gu Changqing gasped!

------Off topic------

Old sacrificial wine: I, the first green tea in Zhaoguo, will never admit that there is someone who is better than my tea!

Jiaojiao, next I want to teach you a unique secret, the name is "Green Tea Dafa"!
