"Master Gu? Which Boss Gu are you talking about? Qin Yining stood up suspiciously.

Bingtang said: "It's the one who came to Da Zhou with us, the emperor Gu Shixiong Gu Lao, and his granddaughter Gu Chang is the one in the side room of the king of Yanjun." ”

"I see." Qin Yining couldn't help frowning and pacing.

She has no contact with Gu Shixiong, and she also knows that her father has no intersection with him, why did this person suddenly come to the door?

This matter must be related to what happened in the palace recently.

Gu Shixiong is the person who served as the prince when the emperor was the prince, although the emperor is stupid and incompetent, but he has always respected Gu Shixiong very much, it can be said that Gu Shixiong is the most trusted person of the emperor.

Now that this person suddenly came, it really made Qin Yining have to think about it more.

"Bingtang, you go to the front hall first, carefully entertain Master Gu, and I'll come as soon as I change my clothes."

"Yes." Rock Candy nodded and walked out quickly.

Qin Yining changed her clothes and was about to go out, but she saw Jiyun panting and coming in from outside, which startled Qin Yining, Xianyun and Qiu Lu, who were waiting for her to comb her hair.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yining sat in front of the makeup and looked back at her.

Jiyun took two breaths, lowered his voice and said very quickly: "Girl, the slave maid just came back from outside, and someone from the palace invited Mrs. Cao and all the silver-faced spies into the palace." In addition, there is a rumor in the capital. ”

Qin Yining looked at Jiyun in astonishment.

Jiyun continued: "Many people outside are saying that the treasure of Emperor Dayan has been found. But the treasure is empty inside! ”

"What?" When Qin Yining heard this, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Emperor Taishang conquered violently, and before Dayan escaped at the end of the road, he easily amassed a huge amount of wealth, and everyone understood that the Emperor Taishang's silver must be kept for future use.

How could such a selfish person possibly leave himself an empty treasure?

Jiyun said: "It's true, now this news has spread all over the world, saying that the people who were arranged by the Holy Lord to go to the old capital of Dayan found an empty treasure." ”

Qin Yining nodded.

She now understands why Li Qitian suddenly detained Yu Chiyan, Li Yanyan and Gu Chang in the palace.

Li Qitian is really scheming!

First, he wanted to ask Yu Chiyan about the whereabouts of his true treasure.

Second, he wanted to take Yu Chiyan as a hostage, even if Yu Chiyan didn't know the whereabouts of the treasure, he could let the insiders not act rashly, after all, the treasure of Dayan was to be left to the royal blood of the Yan Dynasty.

Third, and most importantly, this is the most important point. When Wei Chiyan was arrested, naturally there would be people who cared about him, and Li Qitian only had to carefully observe who had any abnormal movements, and he could judge who had something to do with the whereabouts of the treasure!

Therefore, Gu Shixiong, who suddenly came outside, must be a representative of "there must be a demon when things go wrong" in Li Qitian's eyes!

Qin Yining felt that things were quite tricky for a while.

As an old minister, this Gu Lao must not be a stupid person, he came to the Qin family at this juncture, and he still looked for her to see her, was it out of inadvertent or deliberate?

No matter what he said, this matter was suspicious in the eyes of the emperor.

Qin Yining was very suspicious that Boss Gu's behavior was to drag the Qin family, which was in the midst of the Great Zhou Chaos, into the water!

"Girl, what shall we do now?"

Seeing Qin Yining's serious face, the maidservants were a little nervous. However, they have all experienced strong winds and waves with Qin Yining, and although they are nervous, they are not afraid in their hearts.

Qin Yining smiled at them soothingly, and said, "If it doesn't matter, I have my own decision." Xianyun, Qiulu, you two stay in the room, Jiyun, you accompany me to meet Boss Gu for a while. ”

"Yes, girl." The handmaidens should be all together.

Jiyun followed Qin Yining to the front hall of the main courtyard.

Gu Shixiong is over the age of old, his beard and hair are all white, his posture is clear, and he wears a plain satin dark blue straight jacket, looking like an old gentleman who teaches and educates.

Qin Yining quickly looked at it, and then saluted respectfully: "Elder Gu, I've kept you waiting for a long time, the little girl is really unseemly, please forgive Elder Gu." ”

Gu Shixiong smiled slightly, stood up and bowed back: "Miss Qin doesn't have to be so stubborn, it's the old man who took the liberty to disturb her." ”

Qin Yining didn't expect him to be so polite, so he had some ideas right now.

"Mr. Gu, please take a seat."

"Please."

The two of them were polite, Qin Yining insisted on sitting at the bottom, and only half of it was sideways, expressing the etiquette to the fullest, which made Gu Shixiong's heart feel ironed.

"I don't know if Master Gu is visiting, what do you think?"

"I don't dare to be a teacher, the old man is bothering today, there is something I want to tell Miss Qin."

When Qin Yining heard this, he just smiled calmly and said, "I don't know what the good thing the old man is talking about?" ”

Gu Shixiong stroked his snow-white beard and smiled extremely kindly.

"Miss Qin must have heard of it. Now that the news has spread in the capital, the people sent by the Holy Lord to look for the treasure in our Dayan have brought back the news that the treasure has been found, but it is empty. ”

Qin Yining smiled and said, "I heard about it." ”

"Then what does Miss Qin think about this matter?" Gu Shixiong asked.

Qin Yining looked at Gu Shixiong's old but hidden eyes, and smiled: "I don't have any ideas, I'm just a deep boudoir woman, and I do needlework all day long to get married, where can I have such things in an accident?" These big things are all men's affairs, and they have nothing to do with my little woman. ”

Gu Shixiong was obviously choked.

Looking at Qin Yining's smiling extraordinarily innocent and kind face, Gu Shixiong seriously looked at the woman in front of him for the first time.

She has a unique pretty face, and she also has a smart mind that God prefers to give her.

Talking to her, Gu Shixiong actually felt that he was dealing with an old fritter who had been immersed in the court for decades, not a little girl who was only sixteen years old and waiting for words.

is worthy of being the daughter of "Zhi Pan'an", and she really has the style of a father!

Gu Shixiong stroked his beard and laughed, "Miss Qin doesn't have to talk to the old man like this. The old man knows that you are a smart child. Earlier, when I was in Dayan, the old man already knew your intelligence. When he came to the door today, the old man came sincerely, and naturally hoped that Miss Qin would treat him sincerely. ”

Without waiting for Qin Yining to answer, Gu Shixiong said: "The treasure found by the saint is indeed empty, but the rumors from the outside world are not all facts, some details are unknown to outsiders, there is no treasure in that treasure, only a letter." ”

"A letter?"

"Yes, a letter. A letter from an old man to the Emperor. Gu Shixiong looked far away, and said for a long time: "The old man was entrusted by the Emperor Taishang to build an underground palace and transport hidden treasures.

It's just that in the old man's heart, he disagrees with the emperor's approach. At the beginning, the old man transported the treasure to a secret place, and among the treasures where the Emperor Taishang knew the location, the old man only left him a letter, telling him that he was really not qualified and unworthy of this huge wealth, which was to be left to the new emperor to revitalize the Great Yan Dynasty.

"It's a pity that the old man was too naïve, after the new emperor ascended the throne, Dayan perished, and the real treasure became a secret that the old man couldn't tell."

Qin Yining listened quietly to Gu Shixiong's words, and then said with a smile: "I understand what Elder Gu said. Just what are you talking to me about this? ”

"Miss Qin, the old man is here to make a deal with you."

"Deal?"

"Yes, now that the king of Yanjun has been invited into the palace by the saint, life and death are uncertain, and the old man can tell you the true location of the treasure. I just ask you not to give this huge amount of money to Li Qitian, and rescue the three members of Yanjun Wang's family safely. As long as you can do that, the treasure will be yours alone. ”

When Gu Shixiong spoke straight, he kept looking at Qin Yining's expression carefully. I want to see the clues in her expression.

But Qin Yining was too calm, even with such a big fortune, it couldn't make her brows move.

"Gu Lao's kindness, the little woman understands it. It's just that I'm a weak woman as long as I have a husband's family, and as for any treasures, I'm not interested in those things, and I don't want to participate in complicated court battles. Please also ask for your understanding. ”

Qin Yining's words said that Gu Shixiong's complexion changed suddenly.

Since ancient times, wealth has touched people's hearts, and before he came, he was full of confidence, and he did not believe that there were people in this world who were not moved by money.

Gu Shixiong's tone was a little eager: "Miss Qin, don't refuse the old man so quickly, as far as I know, you will soon marry Prince Zhongshun." Prince Zhongshun's achievements are high, Li Qitian has always been jealous of him, and it is almost inevitable that there will be chaos in the future. If you really meet the day when the birds are hidden in the future, you have this money, wouldn't it be a little more help? ”

What Gu Shixiong said was already very subtle.

That treasure is a huge amount, don't you see that the Great Zhou Shengshang has played with his life to find it.

Anyone who owns this treasure can have inexhaustible wealth in this life, and perhaps hide it from future generations.

Qin Yining is a woman, a woman who wants to marry a woman who may encounter danger, Gu Shixiong was thinking about Qin Yining's reaction before he came, but he never expected that Qin Yining would not waver at all when he was about to have a huge wealth.

Gu Shixiong has been in the officialdom for many years, and his ability to observe words and emotions is already perfect, how can he not see that Qin Yining's unwavering is not pretending, but serious.

Is there anyone in this world who doesn't love money?

"Miss Qin, you and I are both Dayan people, and now that the old man has come to the door, he is sincere here, and the old man will not say anything nonsense in front of you.

"This treasure, the old man will never give it to the people of the Great Zhou.

"In the past, the emperor was mediocre and incompetent, and the old man also saw it in his eyes and knew that he was not worthy of this treasure.

"The old man can't help King Yanjun with anything, let alone give him the treasure, and King Yanjun is not a particularly politically sensitive figure, maybe he will be mediocre in this life.

"However, no matter what, the old man can't watch King Yanjun have an accident.

"The old man knows Miss Qin's ability, please save the king of Yanjun. This treasure is only a thank you gift. It doesn't hurt you, does it? ”
