Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

The basket hurriedly asked, "How long have you been out of the city?" ”

She knew that if it was inconvenient for the princess to show up, it would definitely be Gao Gongzi who would lead someone over, and she really got the right question.

The soldier said, "It's been a long time, and I'll be gone by noon." ”

"Good. Thank you, little brother! The basket thanked him again, turned and ran back to the city. She was not stupid, she still had a lot of broken silver on her, so she first went to the post house to rent a horse, and then rode out of the city.

The fast horse ran to Chengping Temple, and saw the majestic mountains and solemn temples close in front of him, and the basket began to glow.

She didn't know where the princess was.

In the vast sea of people, she didn't see the princess, nor did she see Gao Gongzi.

The world is so big, she doesn't even know where to find someone!

Thinking of this, the basket hid in the shadows, covered his mouth and cried silently.

Does she want to watch the princess scatter and be unable to do anything in the end? After delaying for so long, I don't know how much the thief Taoist priest has done, and how long it will take. She was very anxious, wiped away her tears, and said secretly in her heart: "That time, the eldest lady searched the Wen family's jade pendant in the mansion and beat me, and the county lord knew about it, and took me to the Wen family desperately to vent his anger." At that time, she didn't have anything, and the lord didn't love her, and the Wen family didn't like her even more horizontally, but in that case, the county lord did it without fear, and now no one is stopping me, why am I so afraid of difficulties? ”

As soon as she gritted her teeth, even if she had to walk all over the land of Chengping Temple inch by inch today, she was not afraid!

Just when the basket was looking for people everywhere, deep in the back mountain of Chengping Temple, Pei Xie Tang was wearing a strong suit, and Gao Xingzhi was sitting on a very tall pine tree drinking sweet and fragrant sour plum soup.

"If it weren't for the small one in my belly, I really wanted to stay drunk with you today." Pei Xie Tang touched the cup with Gao Xingzhi with a smile, and smiled: "Lao Gao, this cup is for you, it is really my blessing to have you as a brother in this life." ”

She drank it all.

Gao Xingzhi frowned: "Even sour plum soup shouldn't be drunk too much." ”

It's still a little icy, how can it hurt my stomach?

Thinking of this, Gao Xingzhi looked at the big tree where the two of them were perched again: "Old Xie, why don't we go down and talk?" It's a bit tall here. ”

"Cut." Pei Xie Tang snorted nonchalantly: "Are you afraid of heights?" ”

Gao Xingzhi immediately said with a serious expression: "I'm afraid." ”

Pei Xie Tang sneered: "Give me back the pretend!" Do you remember that the year you just founded Yinyue Tower, the two of us went to Huashan again after returning from Taihu Lake? The top of Huashan is called high, there are cliffs everywhere, we were chased hard, hiding in the cliffs in the depths of Huashan, it was dropped with a hook mountain lock, you go down first, stand firm before reaching out to pick me up. I was standing on the cliff and looked down, damn, it was all fog, I couldn't see it clearly, I was so scared that my soul almost flew, but at that time, your face was as usual, and you said to me very calmly, Lao Xie, don't be afraid, if you really want to fall down, it must be me. ”

How long ago was that?

Five years, right?

Pei Xie Tang squinted at him: "At that time, why didn't you see you afraid?" ”

Gao Xingzhi was silent and touched his nose: "I'm not worried about you." ”

"I know." Pei Xie Tang nodded: "Old Gao, I know you're worried about me." ”

She tilted her head and smiled a little: "However, don't show it, especially in front of Zhu Xinzhi, if you show half a bit of nervousness to me, he will definitely be the first to notice that something is wrong." ”

"Okay." Gao Xingzhi hurriedly responded to her.

Pei Xie Tang was pregnant, and she didn't tell Zhu Xinzhi about this, she planned to give birth to the child quietly.

This is her dream, and he should help her achieve it.

Pei Xie Tang laughed again: "However, you are right, it is really cold to drink too much sour plum soup, Xie Chengyin's health is not good, I have to protect this baby carefully, put it away." ”

She handed the sour plum soup in her hand to Gao Xingzhi.

Gao Xingzhi took the cork of the bottle, put a pot of sour plum soup in the cloth bag hanging on the tree, and then said: "It's a pity to lose it, I don't know if Li Xi will be on time, if you can't bear the sun for a while, tell me if you want to take a sip." ”

"Hmm." He really cherished her, and Pei Xie Tang couldn't bear to refuse.

Speaking of Li Xi, the two naturally began to talk about this person.

Pei Xie Tang said in a low voice: "Zhu Xinzhi should have already gone out, maybe now outside Chengping Temple, the two of them meet, and our matter will be over." ”

"yes." Gao Xingzhi sighed and said: "For this day, we have done too much. ”

"Have you taken care of your business?" Pei Xie Tang turned his head and asked him, with a little more guilt in his eyes: "When I went to splash ink Lingfang before entering the palace, He Mansleeve once said that you are gradually cleaning up the property under your name, either transferring it to the dark people, or turning it into cash." I'm sorry, I've caused you a lot of trouble, and this time you've wasted six years of hard work......"

"It's not as serious as you say." Gao Xingzhi was extremely calm: "I want to transfer all the shops out because Your Majesty has recently issued a policy to increase taxes on merchants, and according to the new tax laws now, I will pay more than 2,000 taels of silver every month." I thought about it, and after converting these shops into cash, it would be convenient for me to take them to the northwest. ”

Pei Xie Tang knew that it was not as easy as he said.

Gao Xingzhi has so many industries in his hands, shops and fields are the majority of them, and now this sale is tantamount to spitting out the fat in his mouth to others, and maybe he still has a lot of losses.

He sacrificed so much for her!

Gao Xingzhi saw her look, and knew what she was thinking, he patted her on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, what I sold is just some shops and fields, and you also know that in the past three years, what I have done is not a voice on the surface, these are small heads." As long as my Yinyue Tower, Qian Zhuang and Ma Zhuang are still there, I am still as stable as Mount Tai. ”

Thank you for your kindness!

Pei Xie Tang nodded, but he didn't continue to chase him and ask anything else, but changed the topic and said, "Are all the people who splashed ink Lingfang settled?" ”

"Except for me and Li Shangxi, the others are all locals in the capital who are clean, even if things change, the government will not embarrass them, let alone Zhu Xinzhi." Gao Xingzhi said.

Pei Xie Tang snorted.

Zhu Xinzhi's temperament never angers others, she doesn't worry about this.

As the two spoke, the sun gradually set in the middle and slowly shifted to the west. While speaking, the two suddenly glanced at each other, both nodded, and whispered in unison: "It's here!" ”

It's summer at this time, and the mountains behind Seihei Temple are full of dense pines and cypresses, layered on top of each other, and it is difficult to find them hiding in the treetops.

There was a sound of footsteps in the woods, and listening to the sounds, there were not a few people.

Is the person who came Li Xi's, or Zhu Xinzhi's?

Gao Xingzhi poked his head out, and Pei Xie Tang did the same, carefully looking at the crowd walking by. They held their breath, Li Shangxi and the others on the other tree also held their breath, they were all first-class masters, although the people who walked by looked up at the trees above cautiously, and kept kicking these pines and cypresses with their feet, however, the pines and cypresses were layered, and they couldn't see the top of the tree, and these masters would not be kicked down, they didn't find it at all.

A few people saw that the crowd walking by was all dressed in strong clothes, however, the dress was very simple, there was no luxury and luxury, all of them looked like peasants, only their eyes were alert, and they did not look like cultivators.

They didn't cover their faces, and everyone's faces fell into the eyes of Gao Xingzhi and Pei Xie Tang.

When they walked by, Pei Xie Tang smiled slowly: "It's Li Xi." ”

"Well, those people behind me think they are all from the Northern Wei Dynasty." Gao Xingzhi sneered: "Many people's eyes are deep, and their noses are so straight, and it is not at all like learning from our people in the Eastern Continent to dress." ”

"Li Xi is here, and Zhu Xinzhi is also soon." Pei Xie Tang smiled.

Speaking of Zhu Xinzhi, his eyes were unexpectedly dyed with a little gloom.

Her heart ached slightly, she was busy calming down, and looked carefully at the person walking in front of her.

There were about twenty people in this group, and they soon walked past them, and they did not go down the mountain, but lingered in the back mountain for a while, as if waiting for someone.

Pei Xie Tang and Gao Xingzhi bit their ears: "Li Xi thought that it was the Chen family who came today, and he didn't look nervous at all." ”

"Hmm." Gao Xingzhi whispered: "The news that Li Shangxi passed on to him means that the person who will come to the joint today will be the son of the Chen family, Li Xi is a hard bone who has been rolling on the battlefield for many years, and he has been up and down in the officialdom for so many years, don't look at his honest appearance, he is actually a cunning old fox, where would he be afraid of the fledgling son of the Chen family?" ”

"Not really." Pei Xie Tang smiled slightly: "Zhu Xinzhi will come here in a while, I'm afraid it will be a huge surprise." ”

"Someone else is coming." As she spoke, Gao Xingzhi suddenly pressed her lips.

His fingers were close to her lips, and the soft touch made Gao Xingzhi slightly stunned, and when he reacted, his blood boiled a little - the last time such an intimate contact was the night before Pei Xie Tang got married, the two of them almost crossed the Lei Chi, bent on doing a ridiculous thing to respond to Zhu Xinzhi, he kissed her frantically that day, and vaguely remembered that the touch on her lips was like this......

For a while, Gao Xingzhi immediately remembered the charm of the day.

There was a demagogic softness and tenacity in her ordinary-looking body, and he was almost fascinated that day.

Gao Xingzhi's breathing was disordered, and the roots of his ears were involuntarily red.

Pei Xie Tang suddenly felt that his breath was impetuous, and the hot breath sprayed on her neck, although she didn't know what was wrong with him, but she was not emotional, after Gao Xingzhi's words, she immediately restrained her mind and covered Gao Xingzhi's mouth.

Such a hot and unsteady breath is easily noticed.

If it was Zhu Xinzhi, the two would be exposed immediately.

Gao Xingzhi was covered by her, and immediately understood that he was a little impetuous. He asked Pei Xie Tang to let go of his hand, breathed for a while, and soon fell silent.

The group walked past them, and after they left, Pei Xie Tang smiled: "Today's scene is really lively." ”
