Chapter 233: Yi'an's News (Three Changes)
After Gu Jing left, Gu Wanniang did sleep for a while, but she slept very lightly and woke up very early.
The moon in Lingnan hung higher, and the night shone in through the window, Gu Wanniang looked at the hours on the sundial, it was about two hours later, and Gu Jing had not come back yet.
Gu Wanniang woke up with the pain of her ankle, but the spring in Lingnan is just right, and it doesn't hurt much after finding the medicine, and Gu Wanniang doesn't need to pretend to be normal.
Pushing open the door, it was late at night, most of the people living in the inn had already rested, Gu Wanniang closed the door softly, and wanted to wait for Gu Jing outside.
The Lingnan Inn is not closed at night, there are account rooms and Xiao Er taking turns to guard, Gu Wanniang heard the footsteps of someone going upstairs, this footstep is stable and a little light, like the force of the whole foot, not all falling to the ground. This footstep, Gu Wanniang knew that it was not Gu Jing.
The footsteps of the person who came stopped behind Gu Wanniang, Gu Wanniang's hand was on her pearl hairpin, she didn't move or look back, Gu Wanniang and the person behind her were deadlocked, both of them were waiting for each other's next move.
"I am the general in front of the King of Lingnan, my surname is Leng, and the girl can call me Deputy General Leng."
Gu Wanniang turned her head to the face of Vice General Leng, this person was dressed as a young general, but his momentum was not like it at all. And although the appearance is handsome, but there is some white face, it is not surprising, the Central Plains still has a white face covering the face, and Lingnan has the name of the female master.
Gu Wanniang: "I don't know the general." ”
"But my master knows the girl, is the girl here to find Mr. Yi, or is she here to find Gu Gongzi?"
Yi An is in his hands, and Gu Jing is also in the hands of his master? It was expected, but the situation was not good.
"What deal does your master want to make with me?" Gu Wanniang didn't have any deal in her hands that would make King Lingnan bow his head.
Vice Admiral Leng: "It's Mr. Yi's unfinished transaction, my master is very interested, since the girl is from Chang'an City, she must be someone sent by the nobles in Chang'an City, isn't it?" ”
"Since the girl and the girl's brother entered the city, my master has known the purpose of the two of you, and it is inconvenient to speak here, so I also ask the girl to move to the Lingnan Palace."
The Lingnan Royal Mansion is located in the center of the city, and before Lingnan was loyal to the Jokhang, this palace was the original Lingnan Palace.
Although Lingnan is more remote than the Central Plains, gold deposits have been repeatedly found within the territory, and it is the main source of silver in the entire Jokhang Guan.
After all, it is a feudal king who is rich and rivals the country, and the Lingnan Royal Mansion is naturally magnificent, even more magnificent than the royal palace.
There are seven steps in the stamping of the royal palace, the two-zhang high Zhu door is carved with the carved beasts of Lingnan, the flower windows on the corridor are strange, the roof beam stands the twelve directions of the spine beast of Emperor Gaozu's amnesty, and in this night, the Lingnan palace is ten steps away, and a night light is lit.
It's a pity that although the Lingnan royal mansion is magnificent, but the people are not prosperous, the Lingnan king to this generation is a single biography, I heard that the current Lingnan king is over the age and crown has not yet married a wife and has no heirs, but the mansion has nearly 100 people from the north and south of the world.
The palaces everywhere seem to be empty, only the palace on the main seat is lit, and what Gu Wanniang wants to go to is naturally the main hall. The plaque hanging in the main hall reads the three characters of Huangluan Palace, and the font of the plaque is the Chinese character pen walking dragon and phoenix in the line style, which is actually seven points similar to the text written by Xie Yuan.
Although the lights in the main hall were on, the king of Lingnan had already gone to bed, and after Vice General Leng sent the news of Gu Wanniang's arrival, a man wearing bed clothes came out of the hall.
This man is the same as the Leng deputy general Gu Wanniang saw, he is very handsome, and the man who came out is not the king of Lingnan, he glanced at Gu Wanniang with a cold gaze, and just sent a message to let Gu Wanniang enter the palace.
Gu Wanniang, who was summoned by the King of Lingnan, Gu Wanniang did not stand at the door and did not see it.
Gu Wanniang stood in the hall of King Lingnan's palace, separated from King Lingnan by a bead curtain, looking at the people sitting on the couch in the room. Looking at the figure, the height of the King of Lingnan is not rough among men, and even a little petite, Gu Wanniang is the person who has pretended to be Gu Wan, how can I not know why this King of Lingnan is like this.
I didn't know that this Lingnan king was such a bold and reckless person.
The ancestors of the Lingnan king were respected in the maternal line, and later, although they were sinicized, it was inevitable that they were the Lingnan kings of women, until the first emperor forbade the Lingnan kings to inherit the title, and the title of the Lingnan king was inherited to the man. However, it seems that it is just the wishful thinking of the first emperor, and even if the king of Lingnan asked his daughter to dress as a man, he never passed the title to the man.
"Gu Wanniang has seen the King of Lingnan."
Gu Wanniang performed a man's ceremony, which made the King of Lingnan think about being in a good mood, so he specially opened the bead curtain and stood in front of Gu Wanniang to talk to Gu Wanniang.
"You're smarter than anyone who came from Chang'an City before." Lingnan Wang is a woman who is over two years old, but she is cute and cute, she looks like she is only twenty-eight years old, and she is even more lively, especially a pair of fox eyes.
"Since the prince summoned him late at night, didn't he never want to hide the identity of the late mother, did he?"
King Lingnan smiled, "It's not bad to think that the master of your family is not a person, he is not a person who only looks at men and does not regard women as a thing." ”
"I don't like the men in the Central Plains, because they tend to only treat women as objects, and I don't like the women in the Central Plains even more, because they are willing to degenerate their husbands and children to live in the inner courtyard, which makes the men of the Central Plains look down on them. But you're different, you're neither humble nor arrogant, you look like a Lingnan woman. ”
Gu Wanniang: "The prince is wrong, Wanniang is a native of the Central Plains, everything she says and does is what she heard from elementary school, and I am no different from those ordinary Central Plains women." ”
"If you dare to contradict me, then you are different." The things that the King of Lingnan believes will not be changed easily.
"Since the prince doesn't like the men of the Central Plains, why do you want to keep my two brothers and hide all their traces?" You don't need to ask to know that since you have hidden traces, you naturally want to leave people in Lingnan and be loyal to Lingnan, and it is best to never return to the Central Plains.
"Not only your two brothers, but also your traces have been hidden." However, Gu Wanniang was invited to dress up as a man in Lingnan, while Yi An and Gu Jing were used for other purposes.
Gu Wanniang: "Thanks to the promotion of the King of Lingnan, Wanniang is just a boudoir woman, and the situation forced her to go to Lingnan, and there are still people in Chang'an City waiting for me to go back." When she said the last sentence, Gu Wanniang's voice was very soft, and when she thought of the day she returned to Chang'an, she even swept away the tiredness of running around for a few days.
The friendship in Gu Wanniang's eyes made the King of Lingnan dislike, she agreed that Gu Wanniang was just an ordinary woman, and the brisk tone that she had learned earlier was gone, and the rest was indifferent: "In this case, then let's talk about business." ”
