"Daddy! The daughter is not filial, please ask her father to allow Man'er to go to the house of the Third Highness. It's just that you can't surround your father to fulfill your filial piety, and please ......" Gu Man sobbed in a low voice below, and in the end he couldn't say half a sentence.

"Don't worry about Man'er, Daddy naturally has a number, Lu Baien, the Third Highness, is not a good type, even if Man'er is committed to him and has been wronged, if there is a conflict, the clan will still be implicated." Gu Cheng sighed, thinking about what Lu Baien had done, his eyes flashed with anger flames, but there was nothing he could do about this prince who His Majesty favored the most.

Even if he went to the capital to sue the emperor now, he didn't have time to say it, but he just walked to the Jinluan Palace and successfully met His Majesty. Does Your Majesty believe that he may not be, and even say that the emperor has heard a lot about what the three princes have done, but because of the relationship between father and son, the royal family's face, will he sanction the three princes? Or do you sacrifice your own family and knock it down slightly?

Gu Cheng has been an official for many years, so he naturally knows how to write about dark events in officialdom. I was even more angry about the matter of the three princes in my heart. Perhaps if you say that you are a victim force field and put your daughter's happiness on a tilted scale, you will collapse no matter what.

"Since it is impossible to succeed, then we must also prepare for both." Gu Cheng groaned for a moment and looked at Gu Man: "Man'er still wants to wronged you, since His Royal Highness has come to greet you, for the sake of the 238 lives of our entire clan, you must not excuse yourself in our family, so as not to fall into the mouth." ”

"Well, Man'er is willing to die for the whole clan." In an instant, Gu Man thought of his father's plan: to commit suicide in King Ning's mansion to prove his innocence.

"That's not necessary, I mean that when the Third Highness comes to greet his relatives, he will definitely not send too many personal guards, and even say that he will only send a few generals to suppress the formation, and the rest are domestic slaves and maidservants." Gu Cheng's eyes swept left and right a few times, and then he continued, "On the way, there is a dangerous place called a first-line stream, as long as the position is right, you will fall into the waterhole below, and there is no fear of your life. The water is fast, and they will not find it when they go to look for it. It's like you're hiding, waiting to see you again. ”

"What about Daddy?" Gu Man thought of the possibility of escaping at this time, although it was dangerous, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then I started to worry about my father again.

"The prince's teacher is an old friend of his father, and after the welcoming party leaves, I will fly a pigeon to pass the book and ask for the support of my old friends. Although he can't give direct advice to the emperor, he can say it in front of the queen through the prince's tongue, and he heard that Empress Wu's mother is in the world, and she can persuade her to treat the three highnesses. Gu Cheng paced, thinking about everything, and soon had an idea.

"Daddy knows that we can't go out now, we can't conduct field surveys in the first-line stream, and we don't know when and where we fell into the pool. Man'er is not a pity to die, but he is deeply afraid that his reckless actions will harm the Gu family. ”

"At this point, my father has already thought about it, and now I am afraid that the only person around me who knows about the first-line stream is the deacon of the hussar battalion." Gu Cheng tapped lightly on the desk, and in the next moment, he found a suitable candidate.

He raised his hand and whispered to the servant. After a tea time, a young general with a helmet and armor walked over quickly, bowing his head and bowing: "Mo Bei, deacon of the hussar battalion of the Southern Star City Lord's Mansion, meet the Lord of the Mansion!" Call your subordinates tonight, I don't know what your lordship commands? ”

"Mo Bei, how old are you now?" Gu Cheng glanced at the young general, but instead pulled up the routine.

"Back to my lord! ~ The villain is twenty-two years old. Mo Bei didn't understand what the city lord meant, but still replied carefully.

"Very good," Gu Cheng nodded with satisfaction: "Have you ever married a wife and had children?" ”

"Back to the adult, the villain already has a wife, and there are no children under his knees." Mo Bei's eyes couldn't help but dim as he spoke. Saying that he doesn't have a son in front of others is like deliberately stating that he has no ability there. A sense of shame welled up in his heart, and his face suddenly became hot.

Gu Cheng's face froze, and then he stretched out: "You know everything about today, right?" After seeing Mo Bei nodded, Gu Cheng continued: "It's not a secret, Man'er can't marry that mediocre and vicious Lu Baien, and I don't want to be caught by Lu Baien and punish my Gu family." So I want to borrow a line of streams and ask the general for guidance. ”

"I see, escorting the eldest lady to safety is a matter of subordinatery." Mo Bei nodded and saluted with fists, took out the location map of the first-line stream from his sleeve, and reported in a low voice: "Back to my lord, the location of the first-line stream is here, and there is a distance of about five feet from here in this area, which belongs to the pond area, and I am on this side and this side, about seven feet away from the underground dark river." ”

He breathed a sigh of relief: "The river is turbulent, and it flows through three karst caves and faults. There is a stone about three inches in size, and it is in this position that you can slide into a deep pool by falling vertically downwards. Ten feet down, you can see semi-circular holes, and follow these holes to find them ahead. You can search the back mountains and gush out of those mountain springs. ”

"This operation is extremely serious, if you miss, then don't come back." Gu Cheng thought of what might happen later, with a touch of sadness on his face.

The next step is to carefully discuss some specific details, and Gu Man also knows a good idea of the first-line stream.

In the early morning of the second day, he heard the sound of blowing and blowing, and Lu Baien, who was dressed in a red groom's suit, kicked the gate of the City Lord's Mansion of Nanxing City hard: "Open the door quickly!" Lao Tzu is here to pick up my lady! ”

"Third Highness, aren't you going to pick up your relatives in the afternoon?" The master who came out first smiled and looked at Lu Baien.

"Fart! Lao Tzu is talking about tomorrow! Lu Baien's eyelashes rose upwards and said angrily: "And Lao Tzu didn't go back to Ning Wangfu at all!" Waiting for these minions to carry the sedan chair over in Nanxing City. ”

As he spoke, he slammed the door again.

"The three highnesses can catch up." The master stood aside with a smile on his face. Good

"Nonsense! Lao Tzu still wants to spend candles in the cave room tonight! Less! Go back and tell that old thing in Gu Cheng to send the little beauty out, otherwise Lao Tzu will let the soldiers take off your turtle shell city lord's mansion! ”

"Your Royal Highness, don't be impatient, this big day is still in accordance with the rules, and as soon as the bride is ready, the door will inevitably be opened." The master had a haha on his face.

"Get out! Lao Tzu is here, Lao Tzu is the law! Lu Baien disdainfully Nunu mouthed: "My family is still preparing a fart!" Do you think I don't have a makeup maid in Wangfu, or do I dislike our rouge powder is not easy to use? ”

"Besides, when you get married in the church, what kind of makeup does it do when the curtain is drawn? Lu Baien shook his fan and laughed as he spoke. The little city lord is still fighting with himself, and he has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard!

The servants behind him also laughed when they saw that their master was of a very high nature.

Just when Lu Baien was tired of slapping the gate of the City Lord's Mansion for the third time, the two servants on the left and right opened the heavy gate.

"Break!"

Lu Baien shouted, and when he was about to command the slave to break inside, a four-person soft sedan chair came along the avenue. Lu Cheng, who was on the side, waved his hand towards this side: "Third Highness!" My good son-in-law! Daughter-in-law, I'll give it to you! Don't delay the auspicious time! ”

"Dogs are your interest," Lu Baien cursed in a low voice, but with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, he raised his face: "Son-in-law to meet your father-in-law!" May my father-in-law's official fortune be prosperous and prosperous! ”

After saying a simple sentence, Lu Baien kept slandering in his heart: It's not relying on Lao Tzu's power! Long live the dynasty, Your Majesty! You pretentious people, no matter how much you toss, you are not "the whole world is not the king's land, and the world is all human ministers"! Knowing that it was so simple, wouldn't it be better to send people to King Ning's Mansion! Blunder! Blunder!

Gu Cheng saw Lu Baien bowing his head and being silent, so he whispered into the soft sedan chair: "Man'er, my son-in-law came to pick you up." In the future, you must be diligent and thrifty at home, and teach your husband and children. ”

"Hey! When I Ning Wangfu is called Hanako? I sue you, we lack nothing! Lu Baien shouted loudly.

There were boos among the people watching the excitement on both sides, and the accompanying master whispered to Lu Baien: "Your Highness, although Gu Cheng has a humble status, he is also a six-rank official of my court. What's more, this is his greatest, and it is better not to disobey His Highness. ”

Lu Baien thought that he was just a fictitious name of King Ning, and the fief and military and political power documents had not yet been approved. Now it is the father-in-law Taishan, and he couldn't help but replied respectfully: "My father-in-law is educated." ”

"Okay, Man'er, come down." Gu Cheng clenched his fists tightly, beads of sweat broke out in his palms.

"Wait! Father-in-law, can I see my mother-in-law? Lu Baien stood in front of the sedan chair and said in a deep voice.

Gu Cheng remembered the rumor that the bride was not allowed to remove her hijab before the bride was married after putting on the red hijab, his face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Third Highness, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that he broke the rules of his ancestors and put my family Man'er and Lang Lang Qiankun under it? ”

"Father-in-law, I haven't seen Gu Man put on a hijab, who knows what maid and mother-in-law you will use instead! When I take it home and kill myself, I won't look for this bad luck! Lu Baien stood in front of the sedan chair, with a sneer on his face, and his handsome face was full of indifference and coldness.

"Your Royal Highness, you can know that there are rumors in the market: take off the hijab, will Kefu, and bring disaster to the husband's family." Gu Cheng's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he looked towards Lu Baien.

"I don't believe in God! I am the pride of the sky, how can I be compared with those ordinary people? Lu Baien's eyes were full of disdain, and his voice became cold: "Gu Man, did you say it?!" ”

"What the Third Highness said is extremely true! Since Man'er is married to the Third Highness, she naturally believes that her husband can be immediately slashed and not burdened by these worldliness. If Your Highness wants to see it, then you can see it. Gu Man's voice was calm and tactful, he ripped off the red hijab, walked out of the sedan chair, and walked towards the eight-lift sedan chair in King Ning's mansion.

The aroma struck, and the ring sounded, and in an instant, His Royal Highness lost his mind, and looked at Gu Man blankly for a long time.

Gu Man came to the front of the sedan chair, turned around and bowed to Gu Cheng again, and his voice became a little trembling: "Man'er thank you for your father's nurturing grace, you can't be filial piety in front of your father in the future, please forgive your father!" ”

Lu Baien came to his senses at this time, his eyes were full of ecstasy, and he gently helped Gu Man up and said softly: "Lady! There is no need to grief when you have a husband to take care of you in the future. Please! ”

As he spoke, he opened the sedan curtain, and waited until Gu Man sat down firmly before he saluted Gu Cheng with his fists and shouted: "Let's go!" ”
