Three days later, at dusk, Xie Changfang and his entourage crossed the Han River and arrived in Yanzhou, and finally entered the first city in the south.

Gu Ping and his wife had already been instructed by Gu Rong, and after arriving in Nandi, they separated from the Xie family and wanted to go to the direction of Binxian, at this moment the two had the intention of parting, and resigned to Xie Changfang, and the husband and wife rehired a carriage in Yanzhou City, Gu Ping considered that his wife was pregnant, so he planned to stay for one night, rest for a while, and set off again tomorrow.

The cold wind is bleak, there will be no snow in the winter in the south, but the climate is humid and cold, the wind blows open the unclosed window and pours it into the house, Gu Ping hurriedly stepped forward to close the window tightly, he glanced back at his wife, she had rested on the bed.

And at this moment, Gu Rong was a single fast horse, and she actually arrived in Yanzhou in the middle of the night, and behind her, there was Xie Yi and his party who had just passed the city gate.

In the middle of the night, Gu Ping was woken up by a noise, and heard Xiao Er leading people upstairs outside the door, "Guest officer, there is one last elegant room left, the price is ......"

It turned out that someone was staying in the hotel late at night.

Gu Ping was sleeping in clothes, but he was woken up at this time, he was very thirsty, and he got up and poured himself a cup of tea.

A woman's voice faintly came from the staircase, "It's okay, take me there." ”

It's Rong'er!

Gu Ping was overjoyed and was about to make a sound, but in the next second, the cold sword was already across his neck, and a deep male voice said in his ear, "If you don't want your husband and wife to die here, don't make a sound!" ”

Gu Ping didn't like martial arts when he was young, so he naturally couldn't detect the movement in the house, and he was panicked at the moment, I don't know who would want to beat his husband and wife!

Gu Rong rested in the middle of the night and only took a short rest, the sky was already bright, and pedestrians came and went on the street, rushing to the morning market in Yanzhou.

Gu Rong finished washing, had breakfast, and was about to settle the account and hurry, and as soon as she went downstairs, she saw Xiao Er, who led the way upstairs last night, carrying two burdens, standing on the stairs and muttering to the shopkeeper.

Gu Rong saw a peony flower embroidered on the purple burden from a distance, and Aunt Gu laughed at her when she embroidered it, who would depict this thing.

But she was just idle and bored at that time, and although Aunt Gu laughed at her, she still put away the cloth well.

"Where did you get this baggage from!" Gu Rong went upstairs and suddenly made a sound, which startled Xiao Er and the shopkeeper.

"Last night came to stay in the guest dropped, this morning I went to deliver water, knocked on the door for a long time no one answered, afraid of something boldly pushed the door in to see, only to find that the guests did not know where to go, but the burden and the carriage they entrusted to our inn are still there." Although this woman has a gentle appearance with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, she just spoke sharply, she is really not easy to provoke, where does Xiao Er dare to be ambiguous.

Gu Rong followed the place he pointed into the house to check, only to see that the window in the house was wide open, she approached, wiped her fingers, and a thin layer of mud stained her fingertips.

The shopkeeper and Xiao Er followed behind her, wondering, "Guest officer, I really don't know where people have gone in this small shop!" ”

saw Gu Rong flying a silver ingot towards Xiao Er, and instructed, "Give me the burden and carriage!" ”

Xiao Er nodded busily, caught the silver, glanced at the shopkeeper, and thought in his heart, this woman is not easy to mess with.

Gu Rong had already flown down the window and disappeared from the sight of the two.

Gu Rong asked all the way, and then she asked someone who left Yanzhou overnight and crossed the river to the north, she didn't hesitate, changed into men's clothes, and chased all the way.

At this time, there was a war, and the negotiations between Dongyue and the new emperor failed, and the two sides went to war.

Gu Rong was waiting for the boat to dock by the river, the big boat was full of fleeing pedestrians, but there were very few people on the dock who wanted to go north.

Some crowded marinas.

"Master, be careful." The four men who came down from the boat, led by a dark purple brocade robe, wore a hat to cover their faces, Gu Rong inadvertently glanced at it, the man couldn't see his appearance, and his exposed ten fingers were as white as jade, which was a little more beautiful than a woman's hand, and his figure was a little weak, and the three people surrounded him, which was really a little weird.

Gu Rong had no intention of exploring others, and it was the most important thing to go north to find her uncle and aunt at this moment.

The man said, "It's okay. ”

The group left in a hurry.

The crowd quickly dispersed.

Receiving the boat were two big men in their thirties, and in the bow of the boat stood a man with a sword, who was also there when he crossed the river last time, and is still there, apparently a member of this boat.

Gu Rong stepped on the boat and "crossed the river." ”

The two burly men looked at each other, and one of them had already said, "Childe, you are the only one who wants to cross the river in my boat!" ”

"Bothering the two eldest brothers, something happened to my family and I had to cross the river."

"Be careful, there's a war going on in the north right now!"

Gu Rong knew that this was sincere care, and said gratefully, "Little brother, thank you for the care of the two eldest brothers." ”

The two of them didn't speak much, turned the bow of the boat, and carried Gu Rong north alone.

In a manor in Yanzhou City, Xie Changfang's health had improved, and he was talking with his wife in the back of the courtyard, when a guard hurriedly came to report, "Lord Wang, someone outside the door asks to see you." ”

Naturally, it won't be his own family, but in this current situation, who will look for him, Xie Changfang asked, "Who?" ”

"No name said." The guard handed over a bag in front of him, "I just said that let the little one give this to the prince, and said that the prince would know it at a glance." ”

The texture of the bag is excellent, and you can see that it is a top grade at a glance.

Xie Changfang looked at this somewhat familiar bag, and his heart was even more surprised. He opened the bag, and there was a crescent moon white wrench inside, and when he stroked it carefully, he could make out that there was a word of thanks carved on it, and the luster of his hair became more and more dazzling in the winter sun.

Both husband and wife recognized the wrench.

Xie Changfang asked again, "How many people came?" ”

"Just four."

"Come in."

"What is he doing here?" Princess Xie already had questions.

When the young son of heaven first ascended the throne, he didn't deal with affairs in Luancheng, but he came to this southern place to find the Xie family, what was his intention?

Xie Changfang pinched his fingers and scrubbed carefully, but his memory returned to the distant past, which was the most difficult year for the Xie family, and he sighed faintly after a while, "I'm afraid I'm here to ask for something......"

This finger is the stuff of the Xie family, but after 12 years, it has disappeared without a trace, except for Xie Changfang, the princess and Xie Yi, no one knows its whereabouts.

Outside the door, the four people had slowly walked into the courtyard door.

Gao Jian, who was the leader, had already taken off his hat, warm as jade, walked through the corridor, and walked step by step in front of Xie Changfang and his wife.

Xie Changfang did not salute, but there was no malice on his face, he only sharpened the wrench in his hand, and asked straight to the point, "Childe has traveled here, since he returned this thing, I don't know what he wants?" ”

"The loyalty of the Xie family."

"The loyalty of the Xie family?" Xie Changfang's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he was angry and laughing in his heart, "The Xie family has always been loyal, but your Gao family disdains this loyalty, brutalizes my son, and repeatedly wants to get rid of it quickly, it was like this six years ago, and it is still like this six years later, when the son says this, he will inevitably forget the past!" ”

In the past 12 years, the southern border was surrounded by 300,000 troops, Xie Yi was urgently recalled to Yancheng, and then was framed and imprisoned.

Xie Changfang recalled the past, couldn't help sneering, and said, "My Xie family remembered the grace of my son to release my son from prison privately, and gave you a wrench to make your wish, and now you are holding this wrench to ask for the loyalty of my Xie family, but who can guarantee that you Gao Jian will not be the second Gao Yong!" ”

The cold wind in winter blew over his robe, and Gao Jian was silent, and this conversation of only three people gave birth to a little coldness.

He has been weak since he was a child, and he has been out of prison since he was twelve years old, and he has lost the favor of his father, and even his mother has been cold and disgraced, but the third brother has become more and more loved by his father. And after he lost the love of his father, the days of the East Palace in these years were like walking on thin ice, and the prince was one step away from being put up in the court, and as a result, the country was warned, the Yuan Kingdom was divided into two, the people were crying from the war, and the emperor's real power was swallowed up little by little in the invisible desire for political power.

"The Xie family is the most important promise, and I swear to the Xie family today......"
