Chapter 224: Eager to say goodbye
When I heard this, my goosebumps stood up.
Although this is very in line with Gu Fuwei's treacherous and ruthless temperament, he was just a child at the time, how could he threaten his own brother so calmly and say that he wanted to kill his mother......
But after I was afraid, I felt that there was something strange in it.
Gu Fuwei took away his jade pendant, probably wanting to monopolize the title and inheritance of Lao Qi Wang.
If he didn't come to the rescue, Duan Changyin would die, and he would be able to get what he wanted without much effort, and there would be no need to do anything more.
It can be seen that he is still very affectionate towards this younger brother, otherwise Duan Changyin is heavily poisoned, why would he sacrifice his life to save him?
"Why should the men of your father's king kill you? Tiger poison does not eat children, your father can't do anything to you? ”
"It's Princess Qi. She never liked me and my mother, and sometimes she looked at me strangely in private. I later checked and found that the general who chased me was recommended by Princess Qi. ”
That makes sense.
Gu Fuwei is the son of Princess Qi, and it is very likely that he knows the inside story and secretly lets Duan Changyin go.
"The only fortunate thing is that I met my master in the Central Plains, and the master took pity on me and asked me to worship and practice under His Highness Qianshan. But at that time, I was worried about my mother's safety every day, and I had no intention of cultivating. Master obscured my original name 'Changyin' and gave me a new name 'Ling Xiao', hoping that I would be able to cut off these struggles and ties at the top of a thousand mountains in the future. ”
"Didn't you go back to your mother?"
"Seven years ago, my mother passed away. When I was sure to seek revenge on Princess Qi, Princess Qi also died. ”
……
No matter how he disguised it, the spots and sores in his eyes were still seen through by the lamp.
No matter how high his status was in the Thousand Mountains Palace, Duan Changyin at this time was just an injured little beast, dazed and at a loss.
Leaving the lamp dumbfounded, I didn't know how to soothe him for a while.
In a way, he was more miserable than himself. If she lives again, at least the enemy is still there, and she can still give her a chance to take revenge.
However, Changyin has a skill, but the enemy is no longer in this world.
I can't complain that he and Gu Fuwei don't deal with each other.
It was the son of his enemy.
Many years ago, if Gu Fuweiken had let his mother go, her mother would have been able to live with her son in a foreign land, and she would not end up dying alone and far away.
She had no position to comfort him at all.
If she were to be her, she would definitely grit her teeth with hatred for Gu Fuwei.
"King Qi took away the piece of jade on your body, how did others know about your background?"
"There is a rippling birthmark at the base of my backbone, which many people in the Western Regions military tent know. When I was bathing, I was seen by the disciples who accompanied me, and I was unintentionally heard by those who knew about it, and then compared it with the year of my apprenticeship, it was easy to verify. ”
"I see...... But why are you the younger brother of King Qi, and they want you to die? You are not the master of the Western Regions. ”
"There are too many people who want to carve up the Western Regions, and many forces are looking forward to Gu Fuwei's death. If my father had only one son, and he died, the Western Regions would have become a piece of scattered sand, but I was still alive in this world, and as soon as he died, there would be the possibility of setting up a new lord and regaining control of the Western Regions. Although I have no intention of participating in these battles, in their eyes, if the grass is cut down, it must be eradicated, otherwise what is the point of the spring breeze blowing and growing again? ”
Lizhan listened and pondered.
When it comes to territory, it must be very complicated.
In all things in the world, there are always opposites.
If there are forces that want to carve up the Western Regions, there will also be forces that want to obstruct them.
Even if Duan Changyin didn't want to admit his identity, once Gu Fuwei died in the battle, those who wanted to obstruct the split of the Western Regions would also tell Duan Changyin's identity.
Not to mention those forces in the shadows, if the current emperor knows his identity, he will also make him the new king of the Western Regions in a hurry.
After all, as soon as the Western Regions are broken, the Central Plains will be in danger.
"Ah Li."
"Huh?" A soft call pulled her back to her thoughts.
"I know King Qi has helped you a lot, but you must be careful with him. I've lived with him since I was a child, and I know his personality best. He never deals at a loss, just as he saved me just to protect himself. ”
"I ......"
Lizhan had been in a state of uneasiness, and was pulled out by Duan Changyin again.
"I'm just an ordinary girl. You are the successor of his lordship, and you are one of his life-saving cards. And I can't do anything for him except to heal the sick and save people......"
"Nope! Have you ever heard of a proverb in the Western Regions? ”
"What prophecy?"
"Since the beginning of the autumn of the epidemic, the reins of the horses in the wax moon will not exist, such as the sky is slightly sympathetic......"
With a "bang", a young man in white suddenly slammed into the door.
Miao Miao was happily eating candied fruit, and suddenly trembled in fright, and almost fell off the chair, but fortunately, Duan Changyin grabbed his sword and picked his back.
"You...... Who are you? Qiao'er hurriedly took a step back.
"Overseer." The young man didn't even have time to close the door, so he clasped his fists at Duan Changyin and whispered a salute.
"It's me. Don't be surprised. Duan Changyin turned his head to the young man and said, "Didn't you and Ning Xuanran go to the inn?" Why did you come along? ”
The young man looked up at Lizhan, and after being amazed, he was a little evasive.
"It's okay, you just say it." Duan Changyin gestured.
The young man lowered his head and said, "Inspector, after you leave, Senior Brother Ning will discuss with his disciples, he will go to the Liannan Inn to stay at the hotel, and I will take a congratulatory gift to visit the pavilion master of the Shadowless Pavilion." I went halfway there, remembered that I didn't take the post, and turned back, but as soon as I went to the alley across the street from the Liannan Inn, I saw my senior brother and a Hu man talking to each other in the corner. The disciple doubted ......"
The boy deliberately did not continue.
"Did you do it?" Duan Changyin asked.
"The disciple and Senior Brother Ning's cultivation are almost the same, and they don't dare to make a rash move."
Duan Changyin's eyes were heavy.
As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was a big deal. According to what this disciple said, there should only be two disciples who accompanied Duan Changyin.
Since there are only two, it can be seen that the two of them should be extremely close to Duan Changyin on weekdays.
There is a fine work in the Qianshan Palace, and this disciple called Ning Xuanran has dealings with the Hu people, and if he really becomes a fine work, there will be no less things to shake out.
Duan Changyin copied the sword and got up and waved his hand with Lizhan and said, "There is a step in advance, and the girl is careful in everything." ”
"I can save it, Childe beware himself." Lizhan urged him to leave.
The two hurried downstairs.
On the table, Duan Changyin's cup of tea was still a little white, he got up and walked to the side, pushed the window lattice back a little, and looked down.
I hadn't seen the figures of the two people rushing out of the front hall for a long time, and they were probably in a hurry to go too fast.
Qiao'er thought about what Duan Changyin said, and she was also very uneasy.
"Master, what do you want to say in the words behind Ling Xiaogongzi......"
Lizhan frowned.
Yes, she also wanted to know what that proverb that only started was what it was.
But something happened temporarily......
Can't you just twist people to finish a proverb at the moment when they are in a hurry?
Forget it, Lizhan dispelled the curiosity in her heart, and the meaning of the left and right long tones was to ask her to be careful with Gu Fuwei.
She has the bottom in her heart, regardless of whether she is a prophecy or not, she will not be Gu Fuwei in the future.
It was the mystery of Duan Changyin's life experience that made her at a loss.
Is she and Duan Changyin so close?
I don't want to do so much. When people are honest, they believe in her as a person. She had to keep her mouth shut, so as not to disappoint others.
She looked serious, turned back to Qiao'er and Miao Miao and said with a straight look: "What Changyin Gongzi said today, you don't want to take half a word outside to speak, even if it is the most trustworthy person." ”
Qiao'er nodded.
Miao Miao pouted: "Then use what the master said, the apprentice will not harm the immortals." ”
Lizhan nodded, "Also, if you see him again in the future, don't lose your words and call him the word Changyin." ”
"Can you call that Ling Xiao Gongzi?" Miao Miao asked.
"He gave you his mask, he shouldn't mind opening up his identity as a superintendent, he should have been called. But there are a lot of people around, you still call him Ling Xiao Gongzi too publicly, if you don't like to call him Gongzi, you can call him a fairy......"
Miao Miao covered her millet teeth and smiled secretly.
Lizhan has never liked sweets, Miao Miao couldn't finish eating candied fruit alone, so she asked Xiao Er to wrap it in oiled paper, and the three of them left the teahouse and went to the restaurant.
Anyway, it was past noon, and the market was just over, so I didn't have time to buy vegetables and go back to make them, so I rubbed them in the restaurant, which was regarded as a celebration of getting the paper deed of the west shop.
After the three of them were full, Lizhan remembered that the thank you gift to King Qi's mansion had not yet been delivered, and if he delayed it for too long, he would inevitably lose his courtesy, so he decided to go to Wanling Lane for a walk.
Wanling Lane concentrates on selling porcelain, jade and antiques, and has always been a favorite place for rich boys.
Something is expensive, but it is high-grade.
Gu Fuwei is accustomed to seeing people who are dragged in and out of the Western Regions, and if he wants to send something, he must send something valuable, otherwise he will not be able to take it.
Besides, Gu Fuwei was never stingy with her diagnosis money, and the medicine money for Changyin's treatment was also settled for her a while ago, and just a few small Lingsi pills cost him a lot of silver.
It's rare to return him with a salute, but you can't look too shabby.
He walked around Wanling Lane with his head held high, and finally ended in a dejected departure.
How so......
No matter how rich you are now, it can't compare to when you were the eldest lady in the Li family in your previous life.
At that time, no matter how expensive things were, she blinked, and her brother would take Yulu into her hands and let her abuse it.
But now it's different, to support yourself, every money you spend, you have to think about it.
The cheap ones can't be looked down upon, and the expensive ones are reluctant to pay.
The west shop is about to receive it into his hands, and he is determined to take care of the west shop, and there will be more places to spend money in the future.
Those who look at jade porcelain bowls will cost hundreds of taels when touched.
If it is used on the west shop, the entire store can be dismantled and rebuilt.
Look at the antiques again, tsk, those things are even more money-making things, a little older, how to cost more than three hundred taels.
When she came to visit antiques before, Gu Yueze gave her a palm.
Now there is a girl who doesn't know anything and an apprentice who is not yet at the counter, where does she dare to start with a few hundred taels of antiques?
In case you get it back and it's still a fake, isn't this a joke in King Qi's mansion?
Thinking about Gu Fuwei's uneasy smile, Lizhan immediately dispelled this thought.
In the end, with one hundred and twenty taels of silver, I bought a good inkstone, and then spent five taels of silver to buy twenty pieces of fine Xue Tao paper and went home.
