The Qingjiang flooded area is full of dilapidated houses and people who have fled.

It was winter again, and the snow had only just fallen, and some of them had turned into mud, and some of them were piled up in the corners, and they were covered with mud on their ankles and trouser legs.

Gu Nanqin looked at the devastated Qingjiang and recalled the scenery of green mountains and green waters that Changle had told him.

At that time, Nangong Qinghe was already self-reliant in Qingjiang, and often sent some letters to Changle, and between the lines was a lingering on the beautiful scenery of Qingjiang.

Whenever Changle got this letter, he would always come to the palace in a hurry, and he would be happy while dismantling it, and he would happily share it with Gu Nanqin.

Although neither of them has ever been to Qingjiang, they have relied on these letters to learn a lot about Qingjiang's customs and customs from Nangong Qinghe's letters, so that now Gu Nanqin is obviously standing here for the first time, and there is still some sense of déjà vu that things are right and wrong.

Holding the jade pendant in his palm, Gu Nanqin walked on the muddy path in this winter, and the two guards behind him followed not far away, not wanting to come forward to disturb Gu Nanqin's thoughts, but also quietly paying attention to whether there were spies around.

Gu Nanqin was only halfway up the mountain before turning into a bluestone path that was not very eye-catching, and then walked inside, not far away was a small wooden house.

Before he could come forward and knock on the door, the person inside had already poked his head out halfway: "...... Sister Gu? ”

Gu Nanqin nodded and stepped in, while the two behind him were locked out.

The young man inside didn't seem to be very old, and his skills and body didn't seem to have practiced martial arts, so Xiao Zi'an and Dong Wen didn't stop much, just waited outside.

"Sister Gu, I don't know if there is anything ......" The young man was a little hesitant.

Gu Nanqin stretched out her hand and took out the jade pendant that Changle gave her, and shook it in front of him, which could be regarded as a proof of identity.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Has Changle been here?" Gu Nanqin looked up and down at this still dim room, this young man didn't know much about life, and naturally brought her a cup of tea: "Well, Sister Changle has also come here to see this other residence of Brother Qinghe. By the way, Sister Gu, my name is Xiaohe. ”

"The name that Qinghe gave you?" Gu Nanqin had already learned from Changle that he was living here, but this was the first time he came, and it was the first time he had seen this child who was picked up by Qinghe.

"Hmm." Crane nodded, rummaged around the southeast corner of the room, and finally took out an old, moss-covered stone box.

The stone box was very heavy, and when Xiao He moved here, it was a little crooked, but it was still placed on the ground in front of Gu Nanqin: "Look, this is what you want." ”

Gu Nanqin reached out and flipped over the lid of the stone box, and it didn't take long to touch a mechanism, only to hear a click, and the stone box opened.

Inside - all envelopes.

Although the box looks a little old, the letters inside are neatly arranged in a stack.

“…… An Ling? The name...... That magistrate is also surnamed An, right? Gu Nanqin frowned and opened two letters, both of which were love letters, no big clues, but the name of the recipient on it was a little familiar: An? Not that coincidental, right?

"Hmm." Although Xiaohe lives here, he has never opened Brother Qinghe's letters, and this is the first time he has seen it at this moment, and his eyes are full of curiosity.

Gu Nanqin stretched out his hand and blindfolded him: "Little child's family, don't look at this kind of letter, so as not to bring you badly." ”

Xiaohe pouted with some dissatisfaction: "...... Hmph, Sister Gu is the same as Brother Qinghe, and I am not allowed to watch it. ”

"But you're such a good boy, it's all under your nose, but you really never tear it down." Gu Nanqin checked the envelopes and the stone box, and confirmed that no one had opened them before, so she also smiled a little, "But when Changle came before, why didn't she see it?" If she knew about the relationship between An Ling and Qinghe, she would have encountered fewer setbacks and would not have been framed so far. ”

"......" Xiaohe was silent for a while before he said, "Sister Changle knew about the existence of this letter, but she didn't read it. only said that if Sister Gu came in the future, it would be enough for Xiaohe to show Sister Gu. Actually, Xiaohe always felt that Sister Changle was ......"

"It's okay." Gu Nanqin interrupted his next words with something to say.

Her feelings for Qinghe were not known to Gu Nanqin during this time, but she had known them since she was a child.

She is indifferent to everyone, but she is very good to Qinghe.

One is because Qinghe treats her well, and the other is because ...... In the heart of the little girl, there is a little unknown seed that is germinating.

Gu Nanqin clenched his fists, put the letters back in their original places, and asked Xiaohe to put them away.

“…… After I'm gone, you're not going to tell anyone I've been here, you know? Even if there are others in the Nangong family, you can't say it. Before leaving, Gu Nanqin thought about it, and still gave an extra instruct, "Don't read those letters, children can't read them well." ”

Xiao He nodded obediently, and looked at Gu Nanqin with some eyes: "...... Then Sister Changle and Brother Qinghe, when will they come back? ”

"Uh...... Estimated soon. Gu Nanqin gently reached out and touched his head, relieved.

After saying goodbye to Xiaohe, Gu Nanqin went straight to Jiang Li's residence.

"Hey, you've already found out about An Ling, right? I exchanged information with you that day, and you didn't say a word. Gu Nanqin complained when he entered the door, he didn't realize that he was extremely familiar with him, but it made someone's heart bloom.

"Don't you know that? Don't worry about these details. Jiang Li was a little amused, reached out and pulled her sleeve, told her to come to the bookcase, and handed her another document.

Gu Nanqin was still annoyed, but she was stunned the moment she saw this confession.

"You see, what 'empathetic' people. No wonder the daughter of the An family is reluctant to let him go," Jiang Li smiled, "...... He even drew a confession by himself, what can you tell me to do? ”

Gu Nanqin pointed to the place where Qinghe signed, and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and the first reaction in his mind blurted out: "...... Torture? ”

Jiang Li shook his head, and the corners of his lips raised: "Jiang has already secretly sent someone to replace the jailer, how can he ask someone to extract a confession?" This document is a true confession. ”

"Got it this morning?"

"Hmm."

There was silence in the room for a while, and only the bright red of Nangong Qinghe's signature and painting place remained, which was eye-catching.
