Chapter Seventy-Seven: Covert

The alley has been deserted for many years, the low wall has collapsed into ruins, and the weeds are squeezing. Looking inside, it is as deep as an unearthly place.

Gu Huali leaned against the wall, his eyebrows grim. The feather arrow remained in his arm, and as soon as he broke the rapier shaft, he ignored it again.

The attendant appeared quietly from the shadows, and was stunned when he saw the injury on his arm, "Lang Jun? ”

"Can you find out where those people came from?" Gu Huali couldn't help frowning. Also recently, someone secretly spied on him, and he could only track him to the Fanghe Bookstore.

I stared at the Crane Bookstore for several days, but I couldn't find any other action...... Only today, maybe Mingshu bumped into something.

The attendant hesitated: "I saw a middle-aged man, wearing a black cloak, and he couldn't see his face clearly...... On his hand, he wears a mutton fat white jade wrench with a willow pattern. ”

Gu Huali pressed his forehead, "Find out how to find this." ”

Those people dared to shoot arrows directly at Mingshu on the street, and they would never give up because he intercepted it once.

"You go, transfer five people to follow me."

Mingshu was also very remorseful.

Someone on the street calculated her, indicating that someone was eyeing her. Mingshu was wearing men's clothes, and she didn't dare to directly expose her identity to Pingxi Hou Mansion.

It's not easy to get involved with other people's families like this.

Mingshu thought about it, but there were only more detours. Around the bustling place, the other party does not dare to kill people in the street.

Things do not turn out the way you want.

She had only gone around the market for half a circle, and an arrow with a faint blue light burst through the air, grazed Mingshu's cheek, and nailed it to the carriage with the sound of the arrow.

Red Lotus screamed and pounced to protect Mingshu under her, but the horse, which had been frightened several times, rushed wildly through the street, causing the carriage to jolt and almost scatter.

Gu Huali caught up and saw such a scene. He rolled over and rolled behind the railing, clasping a person's jaw with his backhand, crisply and neatly. With a movement of the wrist mechanism, the silver needle was struck from the other side of the temple.

As soon as the killer on the opposite side turned around and looked over, the silver needle on Gu Huali's wrist had come out, and the two eyes were in unison, and the blood mist opened in an instant.

At this moment, he had already snatched the arrows of the first person, and with a few whistling sounds, several killers fell in turn.

Only then did Gu Huali drop the arrow.

In the distance, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a crack, and a lump of clothing was seen shivering. He was a little helpless, and he wanted to go back and think about appeasing the little girl......

The cold arrow came suddenly, Gu Huali subconsciously avoided it, but he couldn't dodge. The feather arrow pierced into his waist, and the sound of tearing flesh was terrifying.

He restrained his slightly mild expression, and his expression became cold. This arrow must have been quenched with poison.

The injury to the arm didn't feel right, and an arrow to the waist was even more wrong.

Gu Huali held on to the wall, and after a while, the dark blue cloth was soaked into black, and then it flowed down the hem of the clothes, drop by drop.

Gu Huali pursed his lips, as if he was holding down the pain like this.

Mingshu can't say that she is afraid, her mood always comes a little slowly. There were arrows in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, there was peace, and she didn't have time to be afraid.

It doesn't seem to be too dangerous.

Mingshu got out of Hongli's arms, carefully opened the curtain, and looked out, but there was nothing.

However, the arrows on the carriage were still there, and Mingshu couldn't pull them out even if she tried to eat. I called the coachman to pull it out, and I pulled it out.

Mingshu clenched the handkerchief wrapped in the arrow, and still looked out with some confusion. I don't know if it's an illusion, she always wonders if she saw Gu Huali.

When I looked at it, there was nothing.

……

Mingshu was afraid that her grandmother would be worried, so she didn't dare to tell her about meeting a cold arrow on the road, so she quietly went to the big house and handed the arrow to her uncle Gu Jin.

But she kept an eye on it, and first roasted the wax block, pressed a mold, and then sent the arrow over.

The Gu family has a total of three rooms, and Gu Jin is the eldest son of the eldest son, who inherits the title of Marquis of Pingxi, and now receives the fourth-rank official position in the court, and is usually a little busy.

And Gu Jiu, the second uncle of the second room, has been idle since he was a child, and only relied on his father and brother to find an idle job from the sixth grade in the court, and he mixed in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion all day long.

The third room is Mingshu's father Gu Cong, Gu Cong is a nineteen-year-old young jinshi, in Kyoto is famous for his amazing talent, in the Hanlin Academy for a few years, he has been in the field to boil qualifications.

It's a pity that as soon as I was promoted and returned to Kyoto, something happened.

Although Gu Jin, the eldest uncle, rarely takes care of things, in the memory of Mingshu's previous life, he is a very strict and stable upright gentleman.

When Mingshu arrived, Gu Jin hadn't arrived home yet.

Gu Jin's wife Shen is the eldest daughter of the Shen family in Kyoto, the Shen family has been born in the Qing Dynasty for generations, and it is a family house with a very bookish aroma, and the Shen family is also soft and virtuous.

Mingshu sat in the Shen family room and chatted, waiting for Gu Jin.

Shen's maid Luwu stirred the charcoal basin, took a small shelf, put the steamed cakes on top and baked them crispy, and brushed them with a thin layer of honey, and then picked them out with a small plate and served them to the two of them.

Mingshu thought it was fun to chew this, and chatted with Shen while eating, "Second brother is good at learning, I don't know what Canglang Academy is like?" ”

Shen said: "I am also a woman, where do I know this." But there was also a look of satisfaction on his face, "But my eldest brother has studied there, and I know a little better than ordinary people...... Canglang Academy was headed by Mr. Confucian Dynasty, who was once a classmate of his father, and was the most kind and generous, and loved to bring up his younger generations. In addition, Mr. Liu Pei, Mr. Liu Xiting, and Mr. Zhang Jingxian are all well-known writers. In particular, Mr. Liu Xiting, who wrote "Gusu Fu" that year, was famous in Goryeo and Ryukyu and other countries, and he was also a waiter of the Ministry of Works. Whether it is in the article or the way of being an official, it is extremely admirable. ”

Mingshu propped her chin and nodded, she had also heard of Mr. Liu Xiting. But she was limited to a lifetime in the boudoir in her last life, and she really knew very little.

Mingshu said again: "I heard that Mr. Liu once praised the second brother as Yaojie Yushu and Kunshan Huaju, and I think that the second brother will be able to win the Toad Palace in the future and be famous through the ages." ”

Shen smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into two lines, patted the chair and said, "Ling Ling's little mouth is sweet." ”

He also said: "If your second brother is promising, our family can follow suit." ”

Mingshu said: "Grandmother was still thinking about the fifth brother a few days ago, saying that he came back from a study tour, and it was time to study hard." She looked at the Shen family, "Auntie, will the fifth brother also go to Canglang Academy to study with the second brother?" ”

The Shen family is generous and gentle, and she is generous and simple when she should take on things, Mingshu thinks that when she mentions it with the Shen family, she may be willing to help Gu Huali.

"This matter ......" Shen frowned, and suddenly smiled again, "I didn't think about it for him before, to enter Canglang Academy, you have to go to the academy for the exam, and the passing rate is high." As long as you have the ability, you can enter the ...... His mother, I can help say a few words, no matter the concubine, isn't this family the only one who has to rely on the children of the family? ”

Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My excellent jade wall, I can't hold it down when I'm young, and it's the most magnificent thing to do forbidden steps for my eldest aunt, so I'll send someone to send it to you when I go back." ”

Shen also smiled, "I don't know how your girl is closer to Gorou than her brother and sister!" ”
