Wen Ling left the palace on the third day after the emperor's list was issued.

There was no fanfare, but plainclothes travel.

At that time, according to the list given by Chun Chang, the cleaning up of the palace was gradually carried out, and it seemed that those eunuchs also understood their fate after learning that the prime minister's mansion had gone, and some of the eunuchs were ready to flee overnight, and the losers committed suicide directly to avoid torture, and some of them actually defected to the battlefield, and they all informed the connection between Kang Yi and Du Zhong.

Kang Yi has already been arrested, and even a few of his henchmen who once followed him have been arrested, and someone will inevitably be unable to resist the torture.

However, Gu Xun has been busier these days, after all, there is suddenly one less powerful minister in the court, although Gu Xun has an overhead Du Zhong in advance, but now he can't find a capable person to replace him, so there are many things to deal with. Wen Ling is not in a hurry, anyway, the fangs have already been cleaned up to the largest, and after the imperial examination in October, everything will be fine.

Wen Ling went to see Huo Guang first.

Huo Guang was hit by several arrows and was rescued by Ouyang Cheng, but he was unable to move, so he lived in Ouyang Cheng's medicine house, Wenling sent people to look at this Huo Guang, and Liu Ziye always stood in the corner.

To be honest, Wen Ling was a little apprehensive when he came to see Huo Guang.

She had seen the living dead, it was Gu Rin, in the night.

The cool breeze, with the smell of Gu Xun's blood and the smell of Gu Rin's body that belonged to the dead, made her deeply impressed. And now Huo Guang actually asked Liu Ziye to stand by the window and guard him, no wonder the medicine boy didn't dare to come in, and let the shadow guard go to send a medicine.

But seeing Huo Guang's eyes looking at Liu Ziye, Wen Ling felt that the previous emotions between this man and woman were still deep, and he couldn't imagine that the emotions between this man and a man would be like this.

Wen Ling could only try his best to ignore Liu Ziye, who was pale and had a blank look, "Huo Guang, you have done a very good job in this matter, and the things that this palace promised you will naturally be done." ”

Huo Guang looked at Wen Ling and smiled weakly, "The princess is true to her word, Huo Guang thanks the princess." ”

For so many years, I have been fighting for freedom, and I finally exchanged a few years of freedom, but I don't want to obey people's wishes.

But he is satisfied with this life.

Wen Ling turned around, and the little guy behind him was an apprentice under the Gu master beside Gu Xun.

I saw that the apprentice was holding a black box in his hand, walked to Liu Ziye, opened Liu Ziye's clothes, Liu Ziye had several black cocoon scars on his chest, although Liu Ziye was dead, but such a body fell in the eyes of the living, it could be regarded as terrifying, Wen Ling didn't look too far, the apprentice took out the box from the cuff, the box contained a beetle with a clip that had been red, and the two tentacles were very excited to probe around.

The apprentice put it on Liu Ziye's chest, and the beetle seemed to smell food, and directly cut Liu Ziye's chest with a clip and drilled in, and after a while, Liu Ziye's godless eyes were closed, and the beetle came out of Liu Ziye's heart, and there was a black, bitten half-dead Gu worm in his mouth, and the apprentice hurriedly put the beetle and the Gu worm into the box, turned his head and replied to Wen Ling, "Princess, okay." ”

Wen Ling nodded. Huo Guang got up with difficulty.

The Gu worm on Liu Ziye's body is gone, and he has completely become a dead person.

Huo Guang stood in front of Liu Ziye and looked at him with cherishing eyes, "Ziye, we can go back to Baitou Mountain." ”

However, Liu Ziye can no longer see it.

Wen Ling thought for a while and asked, "Huo Guang, this palace wants to ask again, you have been with that Wuyin for many days, and you really haven't found anything else?" He did such a trick, and he really didn't kill innocent villagers? ”

All the Gu masters in this vicinity could find had been found, but apart from the hidden Gu, they really didn't see any other Gu.

Huo Guang shook his head, "I don't know, when I heard about Wu Yin's reputation, I just heard that there was a Gu master fighting against Gu, and among them was Wu Yin, as for the rest, I don't know." ”

"Right Gu?" Wen Ling couldn't help but glance at the apprentice.

The apprentice seemed to remember something, "The people are now divided into two kinds of Gu masters, one is for power, and the other is purely for liking. And this kind of Gu master will often invite other Gu masters to use the Yuan Gu they have cultivated to deal with the Gu, if they lose, then they will lose their Yuan Gu to the other party, and they will keep the Zi Gu to cultivate. ”

"So...... Meaning, there are other Gu masters around here! Wen Ling turned his head to look at Huo Guang, "Is Wu Yin fighting against people nearby?" ”

Huo Guang nodded, "Yes, on weekdays, Wu Yin's whereabouts are uncertain, and it is also because it is time to settle down in the vicinity because it is time to confront people." ”

Wen Ling turned to look at the apprentice, "Where the Gu Master is, will he not bring the Gu?" ”

When Gu Rin's body disappeared, Gu Xun was the first to order the Gu people near Mocheng, but except for Wu Yin, no other Gu masters and Gu people under his command were found.

"No, Gu masters all use Gu to control Gu, and where there are Gu masters, there will be Gu." The apprentice replied.

"Huo Guang, you have to tell me about the matter in detail." Wen Ling looked at Huo Guang again.

Huo Guang was stunned.

Still lost in thought.

That day, Wu Yin went out with someone to face Gu, and when he left, he was very confident, but when he came back, his face was pale, and he couldn't stop muttering to himself, no matter what Huo Guang said, he didn't care about him.

After a while, he said, "He said, 'How come, how can you not find it?' ’”

Wen Ling was also a little confused when he heard this.

The apprentice suddenly shouted, "Not good. ”

"What's wrong?" Wen Ling asked.

"Niang Niang doesn't know, this Gu master is fighting Gu with Gu people. Gu is said to be a worm, but it is equivalent to the king of insects, just like the king of the mountains, the tiger will trap his own chassis, and one mountain will not tolerate two tigers. Therefore, once the Gu Master gave the order, the Gu would be presumptuous and look for the Gu on his own territory. The apprentice said solemnly, "Gu Dou, cultivate until death, so this also shows that there are two situations, Gu can only perceive the living Gu within his range and his own son and mother Gu. ”

Wen Ling nodded, in this way, she understood, it was equivalent to the tiger would also fight the other party, either the other party left her chassis, or killed the other party.

The apprentice said: "What Wu Yin said is very likely to mean something, that is, his Gu people didn't perceive the other party's Gu people, so they were sneak attacked, causing their own Gu fight to fail." ”

Wen Ling was stunned, "No perception? ”

The apprentice nodded, "Gu Master is full of talents, most of them are ghost talents, since the profession of Gu Master was exposed to the public, many people have tried it, there were very few Gu seeds in the past, but now they don't know." If there really is that kind of Gu that can hide itself in the Gu Species, then this kind of Gu person is only afraid of being extremely dangerous. ”

If there really was such a Gu, then it would be difficult for General Huo Qing and the blood servants to discover the existence of such Gu.

"This matter needs to be told to the master and the emperor, and plans must be made in advance. Today, with the mother coming to this experience, I found such things, whether it is speculation or not, it is good to take precautions early. The apprentice said solemnly.

Actually, this is also normal.

It's like in the military, someone who makes a better spear will make someone who makes a better shield.

Wen Ling nodded, and the apprentice left first, and Wen Ling also thought about settling Huo Guang.

Huo Guang did not have his own residence, and he and Liu Ziye were both displaced.

Now that Liu Ziye is completely dead, Huo Guang can't live in Ouyang Cheng's medicine house all the time.

"Huo Guang, what are your plans next?"

"I, I will take Ziye back to Paektu Mountain, where there is our home." Huo Guang said, looked at Wen Ling and said, "It's just that Huo Guang is inconvenient now, can you implore the princess to give me and Ziye a ride." ”

Speaking of which, there are some things that I really can't tell why.

In the past, Huo Guang and Liu Ziye wanted to disturb Yu Wenxu's throne, but they were found by King Wen'an and driven out of Qi.

It was King Wen'an who drove the two away.

Now he wants the daughter of King Wen'an to give them a ride.

This is also due to fate.

"Good...... When you're feeling better, I'll send someone to ......."

"No need, just ...... today" Huo Guang smiled, "Huo Guang's body is fine. ”

There are several arrows in the body, how can there be no big problem.

But Huo Guang's eyes were firm, and it was not the first time Wen Ling had seen such a thing, so he nodded after a while, "Okay." ”

After leaving Ouyang Cheng's medicine house, Wen Ling went to Song Wanqing's medical hall.

Xianqin heard about Huo Guang in the carriage and smiled, "The slave has also heard about the affairs of this national teacher." ”

"Huh? Does that aunt know what happened? Wen Ling couldn't help but ask Xianqin.

Xianqin shook his head, "I just heard that the national teacher's intention to disturb the country was originally a capital crime, but because the situation was chaotic at that time, the national teacher was still useful to the king, so the king spared his life." There are few things in Qi where a man falls in love with a man, and there are many versions in the palace, and the queen heard a lot of them at that time, but they all listened to it as a joke. ”

Wen Ling nodded.

The carriage was shaking, Ouyang Cheng's medicine house was outside the city, and Song Wanqing's clinic was in the city, Wen Ling would only wear casual clothes when he went out of the city, and it added up to a small distance of half an hour.

Wen Ling listened to the strings talk about the past, and leaned on the carriage and looked out.

Of course, Xianqin didn't know the truth, and what he said was some incredible versions, all of which were passed on by the palace maids and eunuchs, and Wen Ling listened to it as fun.

When I walked through the outskirts of the city, I saw a few people running very fast from afar, "Help! There are ghosts! Help us! ”

didn't know Wen Ling's identity, so he directly stopped Wen Ling's carriage, "Help!" Front...... Haunted! Please, save us! "The man who ran out of breath was a family man, and he was dressed in coarse clothes.

"Phew," said the coachman, "who are you?" Dare to block my master's way! ”

Although Wen Ling travels in plain clothes, this carriage is also exquisite.

"Official...... Official...... We are also out of scoundrels, but this is the outskirts of the city and remote, we can't help it! Several men behind him, as well as two people who looked like maidservants, were all panicked, as if there were ghosts chasing behind them.

"What's going on?" Wen Ling poked his head out and looked at the people.
