Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Storm of Sending Umbrellas
"Why don't you go through the front door?"
Gu Jin opened his mouth coldly, still obsessed with Lu Guitang's circumvention.
Lu Guitang chuckled, carefully pulled the girl's cuffs, and started the yarn dress, as if he could touch the girl's body of frost and snow.
The man's voice was as warm as oil, "Come and see." ”
Gu Jin was stunned for a moment, and let him pull to the bottom of the wall.
Lu Guitang stretched out his hand to pick up the grass at the base of the wall, and Gu Jin's eyes lit up.
"It's rained for a long time, and even if there is blood, I can't find it, and I only found this one thing after looking for a long time."
In the autumn grass on a rainy day, there is something soaked in the autumn rain and a cold light.
A broken arrow.
"I heard that the emperor's brother was assassinated, and the wound on his body was an arrow wound."
Gu Jin stretched out his hand to pick up the broken arrow, I don't know if this was the arrow that injured Lu Chengxiu or the stray arrow that fell in Gu's mansion, it was certain that this must be the crossbow arrow used by the assassin on the night Lu Chengxiu was assassinated.
A piece of pig iron was weighed by her, and it seemed to weigh a thousand catties.
She finally returned to the hall with a straight face, and saw the man standing freely in the autumn wind, and the perfect arc of the corners of his mouth was like a celestial man.
Unexpectedly, his mind was so delicate, everyone was busy visiting Lu Chengxiu, and he was the only one who could think of tracking down the killer.
"Are you going to present this to the palace? If you follow it, you may be able to find out who the killer is. Gu Jin weighed the broken arrow and asked Lu Guitang.
Just now she bent down to pick up arrows, Lu Guitang was afraid that the autumn rain would drench her, so he gave her the entire oil umbrella, but now she is a little drenched.
Gu Jin consciously leaned towards him as he spoke.
Lu Guitang smiled lazily again, and his voice was not loud, but his words were intriguing: "Do you think Yuan Changxin has the ability to cover people, or Hui Jinghe has a great strategy?" ”
Gu Jin was dumbfounded, indeed, now that Yuan Changxin is in charge of the barracks in Bianliang City, and Hui Jinghe has led the patrol outside the imperial city, if you want to investigate the assassins in Bianliang City, the errand should really fall on these two people.
But if this broken arrow was really handed over to Yuan Changxin and Hui Jinghe, it would mean that the assassin would sink into the sea.
"What then?"
Lu Guitang gave Gu Jin a relieved look, then took the broken arrow in her hand and gently received it into her cuff.
"Just leave it to A-Yuan to check."
Ah Yuan, Shang Guyuan.
Gu Jin's face darkened, she should have thought that Lu Guitang would throw the matter to Shang Guyuan, Shang Guyuan had been working as a staff member in the Xianwang Mansion all these years, but he was doing some messy things every day.
For example, at the autumn hunting meeting, she was ordered by Lu Guitang to help her and Wei Yuchuan carry the prey.
"Is Xiao Gongzi Shang the staff of your Xianwang Mansion or the old mother of your Royal Highness the Xianwang Mansion?"
Lu Guitang rolled up his sleeves and evoked a wicked smile, but his tone was calm: "Naturally, it's an old mother." ”
……
Gu Jin brewed his emotions for a long time, and finally adapted to Lu Guitang's words.
"That being the case, why did the prince climb over the wall and enter the Gu Mansion alone, and the little prince Shang didn't follow?"
Hearing this, Lu Guitang glanced sideways at the courtyard wall, and replied seriously: "His martial arts are too poor, and this wall can't be climbed in." ”
Gu Jin did not believe this reason.
If Shang Guyuan's martial arts are poor, then how could he accompany Lu Guitang to fight in the previous life, Gu Jin deeply sighed for a while Lu Guitang's wolf heart and lungs at this time.
The two of them put away the broken arrow and were about to leave, when they suddenly heard a man coughing lightly behind them.
Gu Jin paused and looked back.
The drizzle was like a thread, wetting the glazed tiles on the backyard wall, and a man's head was exposed on the glazed tiles.
His person is as warm as jade, but it is two points more exquisite than the glazed tiles he is lying on, and it is the old mother in Lu Guitang's mouth - Shang Guyuan.
Shang Guyuan's warm jade eyes met Gu Jin's gaze, and he hurriedly smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Miss Gu Er." ”
When he said this, he wanted to beckon.
Seeing this, Lu Guitang frowned, handed over the handle of the umbrella in his hand to Gu Jin, and then took advantage of the rain to come out, performed light work, and dragged Shang Guyuan off the glazed tile in the blink of an eye, and then the two of them landed firmly on the ground.
Gu Jin rolled his eyes, what year did the cat still have wings.
Lu Guitang didn't notice Gu Jin's eyes at all, but hurriedly took over the things in Shang Guyuan's hand.
Two oil-paper umbrellas.
Gu Jin blinked, vaguely remembering the two that fell on the carriage when she and Yun Qian hurriedly got off the carriage of the Xianwang Mansion on the day they entered the palace.
This...... Over the wall to deliver an umbrella?
I only heard Lu Guitang complain to Shang Guyuan: "Ah Yuan, didn't I tell you, then don't come in, wait outside for me to go out to find you for a while." He didn't forget to open the two umbrellas and looked at them, and saw that there was no damage, so he was slightly relieved, "What if you fall down and break the umbrella just now?" ”
Shang Guyuan threw Lu Guitang a stinky face, if he falls down, it's okay if he breaks it, but if the umbrella is broken, can't it?
What a broken person.
Shang Guyuan only dared to scold Lu Guitang in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, he only muttered: "Who asked you to tell Miss Gu that my martial arts are not good, then wouldn't I lose face." ”
Gu Jin realized that Shang Guyuan didn't come in over the wall because he didn't have good martial arts, but because Lu Guitang didn't come here today just to check the assassins, but also to send an umbrella.
The umbrella was held by Shang Guyuan, and he was afraid that he would break the umbrella if he climbed over the wall, so Lu Guitang didn't let him climb over the wall.
Gu Jin suddenly felt that Shang Guyuan was very pitiful, his father, the governor of salt affairs, had tens of millions of silver in his hand, and he was a good noble son, but he had a hard life.
Lu Guitang carefully put away the two oil-paper umbrellas in his hand, and presented them to Gu Jin quite respectfully: "Xiao Wang is here to deliver the umbrella." ”
Gu Jin grinned, but he didn't reach out to pick it up, but set his eyes on Shang Guyuan opposite.
"There is a little maid named Peihuan in the courtyard at the back, please ask the little merchant to hand over the umbrella to her."
Shang Guyuan's face could no longer hold the jade color, but he still squeezed out with a smiling face, reached out and took the oil-paper umbrella again, and then went to the evening window pavilion behind him.
Gu Jin handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Lu Guitang's head: "His Royal Highness King Shu is recuperating in the guest room in front, let me lead you over." ”
Lu Guitang was stunned: "How do you know?" ”
How do you know that I'm going to visit Lu Chengxiu next?
Gu Jin pursed her lips lightly and didn't answer his words, she could know that he wanted to see Lu Chengxiu by looking at Lu Guitang's eyes, and in the same way, she could also see that Lu Guitang regarded those two oil-paper umbrellas as treasures, and would rather be in the rain with Shang Guyuan than open the umbrella.
So she could follow him and put the oil-paper umbrella back in the evening window pavilion, and she personally held the umbrella and sent him to see Lu Chengxiu.
Lu Guitang raised his eyebrows, thinking that Gu Jin was even more interesting, and the two of them held an oil-paper umbrella together and went to the guest room in the front yard together.
The gust of wind blew, shaking the rain on the branches and treetops, and the rain seemed to be heavier, and the two of them walked without saying a word.
They completely left Shang Guyuan behind.
