Chengdong City, Karanzhou, Prince Huan's Mansion

The rooster crows at the beginning, the morning dew is not dawning, and the palace of Prince Huan at dawn is still shrouded in a thin morning mist, as if he has not woken up from the sweet sleep of last night. In the depths of the quiet courtyard, I saw a very elegant and spacious study with two doors wide open, because the morning sun had not yet risen, and the candles left over from last night were still lit in the room. Looking into the distance, I saw that the room was transparent, and there was no screen in the inner room, and I could almost see the colorful but neatly placed volumes on the tall Huang Nan bookshelf. In this large room, except for the stove necessary for winter, it stands alone in the main hall, and there is not even an incense burner or a bonsai, which is extremely clean and refreshing, and there is nothing else. And the owner of this study was sitting up from the desk at this moment, slowly moving to the bookshelf behind him, looking at the books in the dim candlelight in front of him, standing in place for a while, and he was stunned. But I saw him standing with his hands in his hands, although his body was only more than six feet, but his breath was clear, his chin was thin, his cheekbones were slightly protruding, and the edges and corners were extremely distinct. Footsteps outside were soft, and his right ear moved slightly, and he turned his head to look. But I saw that the person who came walked like the wind, although it was a man, but there was a bit of light and elegant beauty. In the blink of an eye, the man stood with his hands in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised an intoxicating arc, and called out loudly-

"Third brother."

"Here we are." Gong Wei nodded slightly, moved back to sit back in front of the bookcase, and said, "I said that I came at the right time, and you are rarely late, but what happened on the way was delayed?" ”

"What's the matter, I entered the door of the third brother Huan's mansion and went to the firewood room to take a look at the girl first, and I came here to make sure that there was no mess." Gong Hao smiled heartily, found a chair and sat down and said, "If you are here with the third brother, there will be nothing in the future, but the younger brother is timid, and he has to see it in person to rest assured." ”

"It's good for you to be cautious, now that I'm in the middle of the court, countless people have poured into my palace of Prince Huan, saying that they are willing to give advice and be willing to follow dogs and horses, hum ......" Gong Wei said mockingly, turned his head and looked at Gong Yu sincerely, "Even if they say flowers, I will not listen to anyone in this world except you." ”

"Naturally, we set off such a big storm, and even did not hesitate to detain the Pei family as bait, isn't it just to find out the ill-intentioned people in your mansion and even in the entire center of Kazhou City in one fell swoop?" Gong Hao thanked him, and his face became more and more leisurely, "If it can be done this time, not only will it be able to stabilize the position of the third brother in the court, but it may also take the opportunity to win the right to command the Praetorian Guard." With such a good opportunity, the younger brother should pay attention to the third brother. ”

"Lihou's stubborn old thing, I didn't bother to attack him, but over the years, we have tried our best to bring down the boss, and he has repeatedly disregarded his own life to excuse that straw bag in front of his father, which is really in the way." Gong Wei gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "The Praetorian Guard is only in one, and he is trying his best to incite my father and emperor to establish a successor in the court, which is the reason why I can't tolerate him." ”

"Now that the news has been released, the snake will be lured out of the hole, and once the prisoners make a move, someone will take advantage of the chaos to wave a knife and hurt me." Although Gong Yu still had that leisurely demeanor on his face, there was a faint fire in his eyes that could not be hidden, "With just a light knife, it can cause the thunder and anger of the father, and the evidence of the poor rescue of the Praetorian Guards is conclusive, and the commander of Lihou will naturally be implicated." ”

"That's the case, it's just that the fourth brother wants you to put yourself in danger, and the third brother is really reluctant to go..."The palace curtain seems to be difficult, "In fact, it doesn't matter who is injured, as long as it is a prince, I believe that the purpose of making my father pay attention to this matter can be achieved, and then let those ministers do more articles, so that they will not worry about not being able to take the power of commanding the Praetorian Guard...... Hey—after all, if only the fifth child was here, you don't have to suffer this mortal sin! ”

"That kid hasn't returned to the palace yet?" Gong Yu couldn't help laughing, "Didn't my father ask my eldest brother to find it early in the morning?" ”

"Otherwise, the palace is a straw bag, and it doesn't work well in the government, so he can't find a child, and he won't lose the face of our royal family." Gong Wei said disdainfully, "It's also the fifth kid who is cunning, and Su Ri was indulged in by Concubine Ying's mother." Seeing that it should be crowned next year, it is really unseemly to act like such a naughty child! ”

"No matter how stubborn the fifth brother is, the horizontal and vertical is because the eldest brother is not properly taught as the eldest brother, why do you bother with such idleness, third brother." Gong Yi poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile, "This time, that kid escaped from their prince's mansion, and my father only applied for the eldest brother and asked him to go out of the palace to secretly look for someone." It's no wonder that they voted for the deed, they are really a pair of indulgent and unbridled silly brothers, like the third brother, you have to worry a lot for their father in the court society. ”

"You can see it..."Gong Wei lowered his joy, and changed his solemn face again, "But you can't let that kid fool around outside all the time." There is still some time before the execution, and we would well find him in the next few days. One boss is incompetent, instead of letting the fifth child get tired of playing outside and return to the palace by himself, it is better for us to show this face in front of our father; Second, that kid has no heart to coax, if you can lead him to the execution ground at that time, you will be spared a physical pain. ”

"It's still the third brother who feels sorry for me," Gong Hao smiled warmly, "In this case, the younger brother also asked the people in my mansion to go out of the city to search carefully, and strive to bring the fifth brother back to the palace of Prince Huan to the third brother as soon as possible." ”

"Out of the city, when will you be as stupid as the boss. I don't want to think about the old five-fourth body who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, how can he still have the ability to protect himself when he goes out of Kazhou? "The palace curtain has a bamboo plan, "The prince's mansion didn't think of this layer, and only went through the East and West Markets without success, so he went out to search for small villages and towns around Kazhou, can you see that he has gained a little?" Either we don't make a move, or we have to make a shot. The person who called you still searched only in the city, slowly searching from house to house in the streets and alleys, searching carefully, and then informing the people at the city gate, not to look at their appearances, but to hold down all those who are similar in size, and wait for someone from your house to take the portrait and divide it in detail. If this arrangement continues, forgive the fifth child for being a live loach with wings, and I am afraid that he will be obediently tied up in a few days. ”

"The third brother is smart, and the younger brother is taught, so when he returns home, he will go down according to what you said." Gong Yu blinked and smiled, picked up the teacup and looked at the dark green tea soup and said, "The fifth brother has also been free for more than half a month, it's time to go back to the palace rules and listen to the instructions of the emperor, and wash away the atmosphere of the market that has been contaminated outside in the past few days." ”

"If you don't make it, it will be in vain to train for another twenty years." Gong Wei sneered lightly, then raised his head and said to Gong Wei, "By the way, you made an appointment with me early today, but is there anything wrong?" ”

"Oh," Gong Hu raised his eyebrows as if he remembered something, and then put down the teacup and said, "It's all Lihou and Lao Wu... The younger brother came today to inform the third brother, that Pei Shuiqing, I will take her with me when I return home later. ”

Gong Wei was dazed, as if there was a slight accident, and he was puzzled for a long time: "That girl is holding her in the firewood room, what are you doing with her out?" Did you hear some news, and you were afraid that my palace would be inappropriate? ”

"Third brother, you know, this time we used Pei Shuiqing as bait to wipe out all the rebels of the Tail Sect in the city, which was the plan offered by the disciple from the Tail Sect in my younger brother's mansion. Two days ago, he carefully checked all the housekeepers and servants in my house, and confirmed that they were all clean sources. Gong Yu said with a rare seriousness, "According to his analysis, although the prince has a heavy position, he has no real power in the court, and the leader of their tail sect has entered the Feiyan Banner of Kazhou If he wants to collect information about my great court, he will be the first to bear the brunt of the Lihou Mansion and the third brother." ”

"I understand this, so a few days ago I went to Lifu according to what you said, I just hope that this trick can make Lihou mess up his own position, and he has carefully checked it in his own mansion, but it will save us more effort." Gong Wei frowned and said, "It's just the fourth brother, the third brother has always wondered, since your guest is from the Tail Sect, why did he surrender to us and turn the gun to deal with his own people in the sect?" ”

"As long as it's not a gem that is indestructible, silverfish will be born." Gong Yu said with a casual smile, "What's more, although the Su Wenwei Sect is powerful, the five major banners perform their own duties, and they are ruthless, so naturally they will inevitably compete with each other to please the sect leader." Thinking about it this way, he is a nameless dead soldier who wants to borrow our hand except for the banner owner of the Feiyan Banner. ”

"That's exactly what he said, he's just a nobody in the Water Banner, how can he get such well-informed news?" Gong Wei still had some doubts, "What's more, according to his meaning, he wants to pull down the master of the Feiyan Banner in one fell swoop." What kind of magical power is the owner of the Feiyan Banner, how can he not know the safety of the dead soldiers in his banner? How can you believe that we have given Pei Shi the identity of the Tail Sect Dead Soldier? If she believes it, how can she take a risk for a dead soldier who doesn't even know which flag he came from? ”

"It's not just for the banner owner of a Feiyan Banner this time, the reason why we released the news of capturing the dead soldier of the Tail Sect but kept it a secret from the flag to which it belongs, isn't it just to let more fish take the bait?" Gong Yu smiled bitterly and persuaded, but seeing that his brother was still frowning, he could only get up and walk to the front of the case, raised his hand and gently kneaded Gong Wei's shoulders and said, "Third brother, why are you so nervous." There is no doubt about employing people, he has always been effective for a long time, and now that he has come to this point, what is the point of doubting people's loyalty? It's just that we really lost our hands this time, you think about it, Zuo has nothing to gain, and there is really nothing else to lose, why do you have to suffer so much-"

"-I understand the reason, you don't need to help me relieve my heart." Gong Wei patted his brother's hand and stood up opposite him, "It's just that you haven't said it yet, what do you want to do if he wants to keep that Pei Shuiqing?" ”

"That's right," Gong Yu saw that his brother was relieved, and his smile became brighter, "It turns out that I have checked it in my mansion now, and it is more appropriate than in the third brother's mansion." Secondly, he seemed to have heard something strange in Pei Shuiqing's words, and after Haosheng interrogated, there might be other uses. ”

"It's okay, anyway, her value has been exhausted, as long as she didn't run away before the execution, and she wasn't discovered by outsiders, it didn't matter if she died immediately." Gong Wei calculated, "That crazy woman also has some skills, she has stuffed sackcloth in her mouth and has the ability to make noise, I am afraid that in the past two days, I have already shouted that everyone in my house is known, I am thinking about a bowl of crane top red poured down....., it is good to move it to your house, first, to avoid bad things in my house, and second, if it can be used for other purposes, it is not in vain that we have worked hard to tie her back to the house from the gate of Xishi Lifu." ”

"Third Brother Xie is complete."

Gong Wei coldly looked at the inch of his younger brother's neck socket exposed by his deep head, and he didn't get up for a long time, but he couldn't help but laugh and respond. Gong Hao raised his head and smiled wordlessly at his brother. The sun rises in the east, and the faint morning light shines on the face of Gong Hao through the window paper, reflecting the angelic handsome smile that looks more and more pure and innocent.
