Chapter 232: Restarting the Journey (1st Update)
Xie Yuan did not refute Gu Wanniang's words, so he acquiesced, although it was now a realm where there were no available people, Xie Yuan did not trust Gu Wanniang so much.
The flower steward was relieved to see Gu Wanniang who came back intact.
Xie Yuan: "That little beggar, trust you so much, you keep him in the hands of Guo Mansion Qingcheng, aren't you afraid that someone will ask for his name?" ”
"Why does Your Highness think that Qingcheng will take his life?"
If Gu Wanniang can't be found, Qingcheng will naturally be angry with others, and the little loach that replaced Gu Wanniang will naturally bear the brunt.
"The loach's life is his own, not mine, aren't the people who protect him still Mrs. Guo and His Royal Highness?"
"It's just a little beggar, why do you think I'm going to risk it?"
Gu Wanniang: "He is not a little beggar, he is about to be the eyeliner arranged by His Royal Highness next to Guo Qing." Gu Wanniang's expression was fixed, and she looked at the letter in Xie Yuan's hand, "Qingcheng sent troops to surround Guo Qing today, how could Guo Qing not know that King Qin didn't trust him?" Since he can't say that the beggar is not Gu Wan, he can't push the loach away, and he can only be loyal to His Highness. ”
"It's a pity, Guo Qing is a good official, but King Qin doesn't know that the suspicion of the monarch and the minister is the most unpopular, and the suspicion does not need to be used." Gu Wanniang made a pun, her eyes met Xie Yuan, and Xie Yuan's figure was reflected in a pair of clear eyes, Xie Yuan was uncharacteristically not displeased or angry.
On the contrary, he said: "Hua Xiangrong is not considered to have betrayed me and chosen King Qin, but it is a double-sided loyalty and mercenary, Jiawan is now in the dungeon of King Qin's mansion, and there is no danger of his life for the time being, but I have sent someone to contact Jiawan, and he does not plan to leave the dungeon of King Qin." ”
Mei Huailing has a chance to leave, but after he leaves the dungeon, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of King Qin, which will be detrimental to the overall situation. Gu Wanniang was selfish and didn't want Mei Huailing's life to still be in the hands of others, but she didn't speak.
Xie Yuan: "Yi An disappeared in Lingnan, and I don't know if he lives or dies. "This is not good news, Yi An is missing, if he returns after delaying, Xie Yuan will definitely not be able to stabilize people's hearts without military power.
"You and Fan Ge set off together tonight and go to Lingnan, and you will be able to arrive within seven days along the waterway day and night."
Gu Wanniang rejected Xie Yuan's proposal, "I am willing to go to Lingnan to do things for His Highness, but Fan Ge can't." ”
Seeing that he was rejected by the little girl, Fan Ge blew his beard with wide eyes and asked, "Why can't I?" ”
"One is because His Highness is short of people on his side and needs someone to take care of him, and the second is naturally because I have a poor tacit understanding with adults, and if I pretend to be a father and daughter, I will inevitably show my stuffing." It's true that the two don't look alike, but Gu Wanniang wants to worry more about Fan Ge leaving, and King Qin will send a master to secretly attack Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan: "Then who is the most suitable person in your heart?" ”
"My second brother Gu Jing." Gu Wanniang saw the letter in Xie Yuan's hand, although the letter was not signed, but it was a letter paper unique to the Mei Family Academy, Xie Yuan brought it to himself, and now the person who will write to Gu Wanniang at this time can only be Gu Jing.
Xie Yuan handed the letter to Gu Wanniang, the letter was really Gu Jing's words, Gu Jing wrote a lot, probably that said, he and his father Gu Shizi were very discordant, and now he listened to Gu Wanniang's words and learned some military books, but he still felt that it was useless to be a scholar, so he wanted to put pen to paper.
There are some things that can't be changed, such as Gu Jing's family and country feelings and young ambitions that are difficult to hide in his heart.
The dripping wax on the envelope was opened, and the letter written by Gu Jing to Gu Wanniang was naturally read by Xie Yuan a long time ago. Xie Yuan has long known Gu Xiaoshizi's reputation, and young people always have pity for young people, but once he handed over this matter to Gu Jing, he completely trusted Gu Wanniang.
Xie Yuan was still hesitating, but when he got up, he saw that the flower steward and Fan Ge trusted Gu Wanniang wholeheartedly, and only said that this Gu Wanniang looked indifferent, but this ability to buy people's hearts was first-class.
"Tomorrow, before dawn, you will leave from the city gate with Gu Jing."
Xie Yuan nodded in agreement.
Xie Yuan saw Gu Wanniang's slightly loosened brows, but his brows never loosened, Mei Huailing and Yi An are Xie Yuan's right-hand men, and now that his left arm is imprisoned, the life and death of his right arm are uncertain, and Rao is also worried about Xie Yuan's situation.
In short, Xie Yuan would not leave Chang'an City, and even when he reached this situation, Xie Yuan also felt that he would eventually become the Ninety-Five Emperor.
There is a wine shop on the outskirts of Chang'an City, there is a flower tree outside the wine shop, the poplar tree at the end of July is lush and green, there are two horses hanging on the poplar tree, and there is a young man standing under the shade of the tree.
Gu Jing has been worried about Gu Wanniang's safety every day these days, but she can't be contacted alone, knowing Gu Wanniang's embarrassment in Chang'an City, Gu Jing feels more and more that she can only protect her sister if she is strong enough.
Gu Wanniang came boldly, she never dressed up, but with a white veil. When Gu Jing saw his sister in front of him, a smile bloomed on his face.
"Why are you smirking like this, and you've been breaking your head again?"
Gu Jing looked at his sister with a smile, "Didn't the late mother not allow my brother to say that you broke your head, how could you learn from my brother's nonsense?" ”
In recent days, it is not only Gu Wanniang who has experienced a lot of things, Gu Jing has not been able to save Gu Wanniang, she has been frustrated several times, and her temperament has calmed down a lot, but the tone of the funny Gu Wanniang has not changed.
Gu Wanniang took the reins handed by Gu Jing, "Brother complains that I took you to Lingnan, so that my brother can't throw a pen from Rong to Guanwai?" ”
Gu Jing felt that Gu Wanniang's words were a little strange, and looked at Gu Wanniang incomprehensibly, "Why does Wanniang think that I will definitely go to the northwest?" It's been like this since half a year ago, second brother, as long as I can be with my late mother, it's enough. The young man's eyes were full of sincerity, and Gu Wanniang's face was a little hot, obviously she was not the sister of Gu Jing's mother, how could she look closer than her own sister.
"It's better to say than to sing, I don't know if I thought you had been learning music recently." In the past, Gu Wanniang would not have made fun of herself like this, but today she said a few sentences, and there were a lot of jokes, Gu Jing thought of what happened recently, and the idea of being annoyed that she was incapable was even worse.
Gu Jing watched Gu Wanniang's actions on the horse, and carefully followed behind, for fear that Gu Wanniang would accidentally fall off the horse, but Gu Wanniang's movements were clean and neat, "Sister's riding skills are getting more and more powerful, and her temperament has changed, as if she has changed someone." ”
Gu Wanniang drove the horse in front, "Is it because Xu has grown up?" The second brother is also different from before. ”
"Grown up?"
