Not to mention that they should now give up the status and power they have already had, and lose their lives for the sake of these untouchables.

When a group of people faced Zhao Duqi's questioning, they just lowered their heads silently and did not come forward to answer this errand.

"Your Majesty, this king is willing to go to Zhoucheng, and I ask the emperor for his permission." At this time, Yu Yueshan strode into the Heart Cultivation Palace, followed by Gu ** with a dignified face.

"No." But Zhao Duqi rejected King Ping's proposal without thinking about it.

Then I saw Zhao Duqi personally stepping down from the dragon chair, taking King Ping's hand and saying cautiously: "King Ping is the treasure of my Nanyue, how can I let you go to such a dangerous place to adventure?" ”

"What's more, Kyoto has King Ping in charge, and the people who rest in Nanyue don't dare to be too presumptuous again, and I can also sleep peacefully."

But the expression on Yu Yueshan's face was firm, and there was an unshakable look in his eyes, and then he said loudly: "This king thanks the emperor for his compassion." It's not enough, the court has raised ministers for many years, and this king has to serve the court. When this king and the emperor of the Kai Dynasty were on horseback in the world, they couldn't see the suffering of the people of the world. Now that such an urgent matter has happened in Zhoucheng, how can this king sit idly by? I also ask the emperor to allow the king to go to Zhoucheng. ”

After some words, Zhao Duqi in front of him was moved, but thinking that the people of Nanyue are still staying in Kyoto, and King Guo now has a lot of dealings with Prince Nanyue and others, although Zhao Duqi was moved in his heart, he still did not agree with King Ping leaving Beijing at this time, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but he didn't want to be preempted by Gu **.

I saw Gu ** glanced at King Ping, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to Zhoucheng with King Ping, and I hope that the emperor will approve it." ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Zhao Duqi, all the civil and military officials in the hall looked at each other, Jiang Fengmao also looked at Gu ** with a worried face at this time, and everyone didn't understand why others were pushing things out, but the two ancestors and grandsons were so eager to send them inside to die.

Although Yu Yueshan and Gu **'s martial arts are strong, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't compete with the plague, and once he is contaminated, he can only wait for death.

Among these people, especially Jiang Fengmao is the most anxious, this Liu Er was given marriage just now, in case something happens to Gu ** in Zhoucheng, then Liu Er will not become a widow before she passes the door, and she will definitely be detained by those long-tongued women at that time, and it will probably become an obsession if she wants to marry again in this life.

Although he was reluctant to marry Liu'er and wanted to protect her for the rest of his life, he couldn't bear to see Liu'er love her at the same time because of this incident.

Liu Er finally got her wish and was going to marry Gu **, how could she make a mistake in this brother's eyes now.

Thinking like this, Jiang Fengmao immediately spoke: "It's a good thing that the prince, the king of Ping, and the little marquis are worried about the country and the people, but if Nanyue loses two pillars because of this incident, isn't this greater than the loss caused by the plague." Please also ask the prince and the little marquis to think twice. ”

At this time, Zhao Duqi had a faint anger on his face, so he immediately rejected the request of the two: "Not allowed." **, you are the chief examiner of this martial arts, how can you choose to leave at this critical time? What's more, you and King Ping are both pillars of Nanyue, and I will never allow you to go to the state. ”

And Gu ** just hooked his lips and smiled, and slowly replied: "Back to the emperor, there is a candidate here who can replace the minister as the chief examiner of this martial arts." ”

"Who?" Seeing Gu ** smiling so confidently, Zhao Duqi knew that he had made up his mind at this time, and it would be useless if he stopped him, so he could only ask.

The minister thinks that Wen Jingyuan can take on this important responsibility. Wen Jingyuan had previously worked with the minister, this person was extremely cautious and cautious, and his martial arts were baptized on the battlefield. Chen thought that he could be the examiner of this martial arts. Gu ** looked at Zhao Duqi and slowly said the countermeasures that he had already thought of in his heart.

"Wen Jingyuan. That's a good candidate. It's just not enough for his official position, I'm afraid he won't be able to suppress the scene. Of course, Zhao Duqi understands Wen Jingyuan's ability, but Wen Jingyuan is only a fourth-grade official, and compared with Gu **'s identity, it is really far from it.

And Gu ** glanced at King Chen, who had been silent at this time, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if you are afraid that Wen Jingyuan will not be able to control the scene, it is better to ask the eldest prince to serve as the chief examiner of this martial arts, so that not only can you test students who are really capable, but also use the identity of the eldest prince to suppress everyone's leisurely mouth, I don't know what the emperor thinks?" ”

Listening to Gu **'s words, Zhao Duqi looked at his smiling eyes, and immediately understood Gu **'s intentions.

This imperial examination is divided into autumn examinations, meeting examinations, and palace examinations, and it will take up to a few months to end them, and if Zhao Yuhuai and Wen Jingyuan are allowed to serve as the chief examiners of the martial arts examination at the same time, it will take several months for the two to work together, and then Wen Jingyuan will be by Zhao Yuhuai's side, presumably Zhao Yuhuai will not dare to act rashly.

Zhao Duqi had suspected that Zhao Yuhuai was secretly forming a party behind his back, and he was afraid that he had already had the idea of replacing himself in his heart, so it was better to take this opportunity to clean up his forces by himself.

And Gu ** and King Ping only need to suppress the plague during this period of time, and then the matter of dealing with those people in Nanyue will be solved.

With such an analysis, Zhao Duqi couldn't help but begin to admire Gu **'s delicate thinking, and he had already thought of countermeasures.

"It's just ......" But the world is impermanent, Zhao Duqi naturally believes in Gu **'s ability, but this plague is really a little scary, and he is also worried that Gu ** will be accidentally infected, so won't the people of Nanyue have a chance to take advantage of it at that time.

"Your Majesty, the ministers will be very careful." Of course, Gu ** understood Zhao Duqi's worries, so he immediately opened his mouth to reassure.

Seeing that he had already said that he couldn't move Gu ** and King Ping, Zhao Duqi could only take a deep breath, then turned around and sat down on the dragon chair, and then issued an order in a deep voice: "King Ping and Gu Xiaohou will rush to Zhoucheng tomorrow, and the accompanying imperial doctor will be selected by the two personally." ”

"Yes." And Gu ** and King Ping immediately replied with solemn faces.

Zhao Yuhuai on the side looked at Gu ** with a cold face, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.

Nothing to do, Jiang Yuanliu felt a little itchy, so he asked Chun Tao to prepare the brocade for herself, and she followed Mama Xia to learn the embroidery that she had always hated, but this embroidery needle seemed to be very disobedient to her call, and for most of the day, everyone else had embroidered a peony, but the brocade in her hand was only embroidered with a four-leaf clover, and the appearance was still crooked, and the stitches were also dense and sparse, and it was really ugly to look at.

Jiang Yuanliu raised his head with some soreness in his neck, only to find that it was getting late now, so he sent Chun Tao and the others back to rest, and he was sitting alone with a small embroidery needle in his hand.

She didn't believe that she could use a scalpel skillfully, how could she not be able to subdue a small embroidery needle!

"What is this? Why is it so peculiar? At this time, a black shadow instantly covered the candle flame in front of Jiang Yuanliu's eyes.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuanliu raised his head, but found that Gu ** was standing beside him in a black brocade robe at this time, and was bending down to look at the four-leaf clover embroidery in his hand curiously......

Jiang Yuanliu felt a little embarrassed for a while, so he immediately blocked the four-leaf clover with his hand without thinking, refusing to be seen by Gu ** for such a bad stitch.

"Oops......" But he forgot that he had inserted the tiny embroidery needle into the brocade, so he accidentally stabbed the tip of his right index finger, and Jiang Yuanliu, who immediately felt the pain, couldn't help but exhale softly, and the delicate eyebrows that were drawn immediately subconsciously frowned slightly.

"It's really careless." For Jiang Yuanliu's rare carelessness, Gu ** opened her mouth to reproach in a low voice, although she was reproaching, but at the same time, she held her injured right hand, and looked at the pale pink fingertips that slowly appeared a bright red blood bead, so she didn't think about it, and she was in her mouth.

For a while, the room was extremely quiet, and Jiang Yuanliu was blushing as he watched his fingers actually being held in Gu **'s mouth.

At this time, Gu ** only lowered his eyebrows, as if the whole person's attention was focused on his hands, and he didn't see Jiang Yuanliu's red cheeks at this time, as if the big things were not as important as her injured hand, which made Jiang Yuanliu feel a wonderful feeling in his heart.

In order to alleviate his embarrassment, he withdrew his fingers without saying anything, and then slowly hid his right hand into a fist under his sleeve, and turned to look at the scenery outside the window with an embarrassed expression.

Seeing that the night was hazy at this time, faintly revealing a cold ray of moonlight, her restless heart slowly calmed down, but it was not enough for the heat on Ruyu's face to fade in the slightest.

This couldn't help but make her feel secretly annoyed, and then she blamed herself for being so careless just now.

"Ugh." At this time, Gu ** didn't say anything to tease her, just sighed slightly, and stared at Jiang Yuanliu with a pair of shining eyes, with a focused look that he had never had before, as if he wanted to engrave Jiang Yuanliu's appearance at this time deeply into his mind.

Jiang Yuanliu, on the other hand, pretended not to see his reaction, and stuffed the embroidery in his hand into the needlework rags, and then checked it again.

When he was sure that Gu ** would not see his lame acupuncture, he gradually stabilized his mind and raised his eyes to look at Gu **, and then sneered: "Why, the powerful little marquis also sighs?" ”

A person who didn't even put the emperor and the eldest princess in his eyes, Jiang Yuanliu really couldn't think of anything that could make Gu ** sigh like this, could it be......
