Chapter 87: Heart-to-heart on board

Before the sedan chair reached the moat, he heard the sound of shouting and cheering, and the sound was higher and higher, which showed the fierceness of the competition.

The sedan chair stopped, Jiang Cailing lifted the curtain and walked out, and saw many people gathered on the bank of the moat.

"Girl, do you want to bet on a fleet?" When I turned around, I saw an old man, sitting in front of a wooden table, with the names of ten fleets written on a blank piece of paper, and the statistics of the number of victories and defeats in the past three years.

Jiang Cailing had never participated in such a folk activity, and on a whim, he took out a tael of silver and put it on a new fleet.

Gu Jiming walked over and saw the fleet selected by Jiang Cailing, and a slight smile rose on his lips, "Have vision." ”

Just when Jiang Cailing was puzzled, Jiu Ge explained with a smile, "The girl doesn't know, although this Dragon Boat Race is a folk activity, but behind each fleet is funded by the gate lord clan, if the fleet wins the ranking, it will also bring honor to the clan!" ”

Jiang Cailing raised her eyebrows, "So the one I chose is the fleet of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

Gu Jiming bowed slightly, and his thin lips spit out those three words: "There is vision." ”

……

The weather is bright and sunny, and in such weather, boating and water play are perfect for them.

After renting a small boat, Gu Jiming stretched out his hand to help Jiang Cailing sit firmly, Bai He followed Jiang Cai tightly behind with his skirt and wanted to jump onto the boat, but was pulled back by Jiu Ge, and Bai He looked puzzled.

Jiu Ge smiled, with a baby face, it was already very pleasing, showing such a smile did not look obscene, but showed a little cuteness, "The two of them can finally get along alone for a while, your girl is so smart, how can there be a stupid girl like you?" ”

Bai He glanced at Jiu Ge angrily, but also stopped.

The boat, helpless, floating on the water, without worrying about the partition wall has ears, is the most suitable place for secret conversations.

The river was flowing slowly, Gu Jiming was holding the oars in his hand, and as soon as the slurry fell, the fish in the water seemed to be frightened, swimming quickly in groups, and the river water was crystal clear, as if they were empty and had nothing to rely on.

Jiang Cailing and Gu Jiming sat opposite each other, at first Jiang Cailing's eyes were focused on the blue sky and white clouds, weeping willows and green shadows, and then unconsciously moved his eyes to Gu Jiming.

The black and green silk is bundled in the white jade and gold crown, revealing the whole handsome face, with deep eyebrows and eyes, a high nose bridge, a resolute jawline, and occasionally a fresh breeze, and the broken hair in front of the forehead dances with the direction of the wind, looking like a cold appearance of a turbid son.

Jiang Cailing really likes this face, she was worried about living until she was twenty-three years old, so the love opened late, and it wasn't until she saw this face for the first time at the Thousand Lantern Festival that she understood that the love and love in the book were all caused by feelings.

Accompanied by the breeze, a cold and beautiful voice reached Jiang Cailing's ears, "Am I good-looking?" ”

Jiang Cailing remembered that Gu Jiming had asked her before, and she remembered that she replied at the time: Gu Xiang is naturally good-looking.

Hearing this, a smile rose at the corner of her lips, Jiang Cailing lowered her hand into the water, felt the coolness of the cool river water passing through the palm of her hand, and said with a smile, "Lord Gu is handsome, Zhilan Yushu, can be called the first beautiful man in the Five Kingdoms, even the leader of Chongyang Tower will sigh to himself when he sees your peerless appearance." ”

Chongyang Building, Xiaoqi Pavilion.

Gu Jiming looked at the bright eyes in front of him, and the little woman who looked forward to the brilliance, with a pair of bright apricot eyes with some cunning and proudness, just like when he wanted to amuse him at the beginning, the pictures overlapped together, and there was no disobedience.

He was actually already attracted to her, but because of his identity and etiquette, he trapped himself in prison and painted the ground as a cage.

He thought that after the dynasty was stable, he would take her back to the countryside, and the two would be incognito, so that she would not have to face the accusations of the world, nor would she have to bear the charge of harming the country and the people, and fornicating with the court.

But when the news of her death came, Gu Jiming really realized that his love for her had long been deep in the bone marrow.

If life is only as it is at first sight, he will definitely speak first and tell his mind that in the face of life and death, identity and etiquette are not worth mentioning at all. Every time he dreamed back at midnight, he never dreamed of her, and just as he was about to spend his life in regret, he met her again.

Looking at the living person in front of him, his heart was filled with warm emotions, and his slender fingers couldn't help but lift up slightly, holding the hand of the woman opposite, as if to determine whether this was a dream or a real scene.

After touching the soft and slender hand with the cool temperature of the river, Gu Jiming's inky black eyes became more and more warm, and he let out a soft sigh from the bottom of his heart, "It's so good." ”

"You, what's wrong with you?" Unexpectedly, Gu Jiming turned out to be this reaction, Jiang Cailing looked down and saw her hands clasped with ten fingers, feeling the temperature from her palms scorching, and an electric current passed through her heart, which was numb and crispy, making her body tremble slightly.

"Ahem!" Suddenly, Gu Jiming coughed violently, and the blood on his face instantly condensed, and he turned pale.

Jiang Cailing leaned forward and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that I was cold a few days ago."

Although the weather a few days ago was raining heavily, it was not enough to collect the wind and cold, Jiang Cailing took his hand uneasily, buckled on his pulse, small as a line, the ups and downs were obvious, it was a disease of blood deficiency, the slender willow eyebrows were slightly frowned, when did Gu Jiming's body become so weak?

Jiang Cailing couldn't help but aggravate her tone, "Gu Jiming, what's going on?" ”

Looking at Jiang Cailing's serious expression, the corners of Gu Jiming's pale lips curled slightly, and he reached out and rubbed the top of Jiang Cailing's head, "You think too much." ”

Just when Jiang Cailing wanted to ask, Gu Jiming talked about the business seriously, "By the way, last time you said that the person who harmed you looked the same as me, I suspect that person used the long-lost disguise technique." ”

Jiang Cailing knew that Gu Jiming didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask any more.

After hearing the three words of disguise, she couldn't help but nodded, which coincided with her guess, and told the other party what she thought, "In the case of Princess Nanzhao's fall from the building, at the beginning, Zhu Er said that Bai He deliberately prevented him from delivering food to the Prime Minister's Mansion on the street, and later because the criminal committed suicide, this suspicion was not explained clearly, but Bai He did not have diarrhea that day, and it was impossible to leave the mansion at all.

At that time, I was told that this matter was related to the transfiguration, but I looked through all the books that recorded the medical arts, and I had no idea what the explanation of the transfiguration technique was. ”

"Although disguise is a type of medical art, since it was banned, all relevant records have been deleted, so it is useless to check the official medical books. I asked people to inquire in the rivers and lakes, and later found out that there is a metaphysical academy in the territory of Chu State, and among them there is a kind and disguised person, named Yanyun. ”

Among the five countries on the mainland, only the Chu State has a national teacher in the past dynasties, and the Chu Emperor believes in the gods very much, and each generation of emperors will have a national teacher who is extremely trusted, counting the national fortune and man-made disasters. Each generation of national teachers also has real talents and learning, and most of them can be calculated by floods and droughts. As long as he is elected as a national teacher, it is the glory and illustriousness of his life, and the rights he has can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand.

It is precisely because of this that there are some Chu people who specialize in metaphysics and evil arts, and only hope to become a national teacher and reach the pinnacle of life. In the hearts of the people of the other four countries, everyone in the Chu State seems to know evil arts, although this is a misunderstanding, but the mystery of the Chu State can also be seen.

As soon as she thought of Chu State, a pair of demonic and beautiful eyebrows suddenly appeared in Jiang Cailing's mind, and she couldn't help blurting out, "Su Qingcheng? ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiming's good-looking eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he didn't understand why Jiang Cailing suddenly mentioned this name.

"I once hypnotized his subordinates and knew that he was most likely the tenth prince of the Chu State."

If other people heard the news, their first reaction must have been surprise, but Jiang Cailing saw an "expected" look on Gu Jiming's face.

"You knew before?"

"It is rumored that the Ten Princes are very weak and recuperate in the deep palace all year round."

After Jiang Cailing told him about the hypnosis, Gu Jiming's eyebrows furrowed, his dark eyes turned back to calm in an instant, his cold eyes looked at the calm river, and he said quietly, "Now, Your Majesty is gradually acting vigorously in the court, and the villain, Yuan Xianchen, and King Fuyuan are becoming more and more estranged, when the first emperor was alive, the two were the best brothers in the palace. ”

"Last time I saw Guo Ang's eyebrows and eyes, he was like the child at the funeral half a year ago, has there been any more people around him recently?"

Guo Ang has changed so much, it is very likely that someone deliberately sow discord, Jiang Cailing and Gu Jiming both thought of this.

Gu Jiming shook his head, "That person is hiding too deep and can't be caught." ”

This matter is getting more and more tricky, Jiang Cailing pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Now the first task is to find out the person who instigates, can you arrange for me to enter the palace to face the saint in the next few days, I want to see what people are around him, Guo Ang is also considered to have been brought up by me, if the two brothers turn against each other, no matter which side is injured, I don't want to see it." ”

"You can use the reason that you and I are about to get married, and I will arrange it as soon as possible."

"Okay."

……

When the two of them went ashore, the winner of the dragon boat race had already been decided, and if Gu Jiming lived up to expectations, the fleet of the Prime Minister's Mansion won the dragon. Jiang Cailing looked sideways and sighed softly, "The tree is a big wind, aren't you afraid that Guo Ang will attack you one day?" ”

"I won't be a prime minister for long."

When Jiang Cailing didn't have time to explore the deep meaning of this sentence, Jiu Ge suddenly came to report that there was an urgent matter that the saint had summoned him to the palace, and Gu Jiming left the moat first.

The scenery is not worth it, Jiang Cailing is full of things, so she asked Bai He to accompany her to walk on the shore, thinking about whether the matter of instigating Guo Ang has anything to do with Su Qingcheng.

Speak of the devil.

Seeing a touch of red robe under the weeping willows not far away, Jiang Cailing stood still, looking at the opposite side with a pair of apricot eyes, with complex emotions in her eyes - Su Qingcheng, you appeared at the right time!
