The time is approaching the Spring Festival, the weather is naturally warmer, and the most important thing is that the sky in the capital is finally no longer as yellow sand as before, covering the sky and the sun, but it has rarely become brighter.

Because some fine gravel in the desert in the north, sometimes rising with the wind, from the high sky, like migratory birds slowly drifting by, across the entire Youzhou, and then falling lightly in Liangzhou, so it often leads to a dark scene here, the gravel falls, will dye the entire prosperous capital with a layer of unsightly earthy yellow, like this clear sky, no wind and no clouds, it is really rare to have a few days a year.

It is located in the Prince's Mansion in the capital on Tianbo Street.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the festive atmosphere in the capital has become more and more intense, and everyone in the mansion is seriously making the final preparations.

However, in this celebratory atmosphere, even the work is a little more enthusiastic.

Even Gu Cang himself was in a rare mood to leave the small square table full of paperwork that he needed to deal with today, walked out of the claustrophobic hut that never opened doors and windows, and came to the courtyard to enjoy the scenery.

However, even if the weather outside has warmed up a little, he still wears a thick coat that ordinary people only wear in the harsh winter, to shield from the wind and cold of the outside world, and he also holds a precious gem in his arms that will never leave his hand as long as he goes out, and exudes heat all the time, but this is not counted, the personal maid Frost is half-squatting next to him, carefully burning a furnace.

Here is nothing special ordinary small pavilion, octagonal cover, the glazed tiles on the top are brushed with a layer of red paint, the only thing worth mentioning is that the top of the pavilion is made of the favorite quadruple eaves of the Jiangzhou family, hollow carving, gorgeous and meticulous, very highlighting the taste and status of the owner of the house.

In recent years, as the Jiangzhou family has opened houses in the capital, many Jiangzhou craftsmen have also brought this skill and style from Jiangzhou, and are deeply favored by the rich people in Liangzhou, and even spared no expense to hire these craftsmen from Jiangzhou to design and build courtyards for their own mansions。

These anecdotes about the capital are put aside for the time being, Gu Cang, as the prince, let the craftsmen of Jiangzhou come to the house to design the courtyard, which is beyond reproach, and can even be said to be the glory of Jiangzhou people, and with his talent, even Jiangzhou people should be admired and admired, I don't know how many Jiangzhou scholars, they all regard him as the bearer of southern poetry, and every day his poetry collection is regarded as a holy object for reading at home.

In the center of the pavilion, as usual, there is a small stone table with four corners, which is not large, and after a set of tea sets are placed on it, there is no spare space.

After the frost here burned the stove in advance, Shi Shiran got up and let the other side, while another maid, Xiaolu, came over, scalded the water, and began to pour tea for his prince.

Gu Cang was dressed in a robe, holding jade in his arms, leaning over, quietly leaning on the railing next to the courtyard, looking at the deep pond below, the fish that kept swimming, and was stunned.

This kind of wonderful koi fish with golden yellow all over the body, even including the beard, is a rare treasure, if it falls outside, it can be sold for a sky-high price, and it is in short supply at all, and it will be bought immediately as soon as it appears.

Because the koi has the effect of praying for good luck, and there are such as the carp leaping dragon gate and other good wishes passed down from ancient times, such auspicious things, naturally up to the princes and nobles, down to the dawn of the people, no one does not like, no one does not love, in the pond of the general large family, will also raise a few koi in order to suppress feng shui, want to ask for a good fortune for the family, like such a miraculous golden carp, naturally is more valuable.

However, in the pond of this prince's mansion, there are hundreds of golden carp swimming non-stop at this moment, converging into a golden streamer, rampage in the water, so that everyone who comes will be amazed when they see it.

This matter was also in the capital, I don't know where to get the news of the good things to spread to the gods, said that it is one of the wonders of the prince's mansion, if anyone is lucky to enter the prince's mansion, must have a look, and even provoked many court officials are itching, find all kinds of reasons to come in to find out.

Xiaolu boiled the water here and poured the tea carefully, then she happily held the teacup, walked over lightly, and said softly next to Gu Cang: "Prince, it's cold, drink a cup to warm up." ”

Gu Cang, who had been sitting in the pavilion in a daze, quickly came back to his senses after hearing the voice, glanced at the stove next to him, and began to gather the condensation of the residual tea on the table for the first time, and then turned his head, put down the jade in his arms, reached out and took the teacup, and smiled at Xiaolu and said, "I'm tired." ”

Xiaolu stood in place, put her hands behind her back, and pouted: "Where is the prince, being able to serve the prince is a blessing that Xiaolu has cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

Such a girl's behavior, no matter who sees it, I am afraid that it will not be associated with the legendary ruthless ruler of the earth network.

People have many faces, and it is understandable to see different people and deal with them differently.

For this cup of tea, which was very valuable and brewed by Xiaolu herself, Gu Cang just took a sip lightly, then put down the cup, and then Xiaolu, who was quick to see Xiaolu next to him, quickly reached out and took it, and poured the remaining part of the teacup directly into the small wooden barrel next to him, these are all residues that will be thrown away in a while.

A pack of priceless price, Yongzhou's new new tea after the rain, for a person of Gu Cang's status, is actually a matter of taking a sip, the rest of the part, will be poured out directly, will not be used again at all, the people in the house will secretly collect these dregs that have been soaked once, and soak them in water a few times, and taste them carefully, because even so, this is much better than ordinary tea, many people are not even willing to throw away the dregs that have been soaked a few times, and they have to bake it again, wrap it into a cake and eat it before stopping, it can be seen that people are really different situations。

After Gu Cang turned around, the two personal maids had already put down the work in their hands with interest, lowered their hands, and stood in front of him one left and one right, waiting for orders.

He didn't look at the two beautiful maids opposite him at all, but lowered his head, slowly rubbed the round fiery red jade in his arms, and after a while, he finally asked: "You have been doing things in the net of heaven and earth for so many years, do you have any views on defending the country?"

When Xiaolu heard this, her heart moved, and she knew what her prince meant, after the prince had buried so many secrets in the country, he was finally murderous.

Seeing that Ning Shuang had been bowing her head and not saying a word, Xiaolu, who wanted to be in the limelight, hurriedly spoke: "Prince, although the world says that Qilian is difficult to cross, the slave can assure the prince that the manpower under the slave and maid can completely sneak into the territory of the country, and it is not difficult for the prince to kill whoever he wants, and the slave and maid will not allow anyone to become an obstacle to the prince!"

Tianluo is like the eye of the sky, full-time training spies, taking root everywhere, transmitting intelligence, and doing the duty of supervising the world, while the ground network is like nine ghosts, hidden in it, are all ghosts and monsters who can't see the light, specializing in assassination and beheading, this is hidden in the shadows, only belongs to him Gu Cang's two sharp knives, and they are also the two knives that make the third and fourth most feared.

But he didn't think about it, Gu Cang heard it, and directly shook his head and scolded with a smile: "You little girl, are you really a mayfly who defends the country, and that Wutong Garden is a good thing to mess with?"

An embarrassed smile appeared on Xiaolu's face, and she bowed down and said, "The prince must have a plan, so why bother to make fun of Xiaolu." ”

When Gu Cang heard this, he suddenly frowned, and taught him a lesson: " The two of you, one is the great Chengtian of Tianluo, and the other is the great hidden treasure of the earth's net, both of whom are the highest status of the people, in charge of the operation of the entire yamen, one of your decision-making mistakes directly affects the lives of the brothers outside, and the transmission of information is interlocking, as long as there is a flaw in one link, people can follow the vine and touch the melon, step by step, and then I don't know how many people will die, and even all the previous efforts will become useless, and you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, so never take it lightly, don't despise your opponentsYou have no worries about food and clothing here, giving orders, but they are lurking in places where they can't see the light, on the one hand, they have to rack their brains to collect and transmit information, and on the other hand, they have to worry about being caught by the enemy, and they are living a hard life of fear, so you must not relax here, and you must make sure that before any order is issued, you must carefully check and deduce to ensure that nothing goes wrong, do you understand?"

Seeing that Gu Cang's expression was extremely serious, both of them knew that this was Gu Cang educating them, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly committed themselves and said, "Yes, prince." ”

Although the verbal promise does not mean that they agree in their hearts, but the attitude of the two is at least good, Gu Cang nodded with great satisfaction, and then pretended to be unintentional towards Ning Shuang, who had been hanging his head and silent: "Does Shuang'er have any ideas? All the information in the Western Continent is handled by you, so you should also have some opinions about this country." ”

Ning Shuang heard the prince ask herself, she didn't raise her head, just lightly opened her lips, and said softly: "The slave and maid are just the people who work under the prince, where do you have any ideas, as the prince said before, once the slave and maid make a mistake, it will kill I don't know how many people, if the prince has already made a plan, the slaves and maids will do it, and they dare not have other ideas." ”

Gu Cang only frowned slightly about this, and didn't think too much about it, but sighed softly: "Hey, you two know your son-in-law, this strategy is naturally there, it was just a test of water before, but now that it has been seen by the people over there, it's just that, if you want to break this Qilian natural risk, you have to make several moves together, so that the other party is tired of running for his life, and then he can win with one blow." ”

The two knew that the point was coming, so they hurriedly lowered their hands and lowered their eyebrows and listened respectfully.

Gu Cang turned his head and looked around the pond, in the spring, the trees that had begun to sprout new shoots, and said slowly: "We are like the old man of the Tian family, we have buried the seeds in the ground early, as long as we irrigate them diligently, they will naturally blossom and bear fruit, but if the seedlings are pulled out to help them grow, they will be too conspicuous and will be noticed. ”

In the pond, hundreds of golden koi fish gather at the bottom of the pavilion and roll around, as if listening to the teachings of the people above.

----------------------------------------------------------

At the same time, in the county government of Huangsha County.

After training the recruits, Gu Xuan came back directly from the barracks, and the rest of the matter was handed over to Zhu Dachun, he was relieved.

After returning to the house, he quickly found someone to feed and train the falcon that he had received from Black Narcissus.

Falcon has a fierce temperament, is a hunter by nature, and is not driven by people if they are not trained from an early age and cultivate affection day and night, which is due to their nature.

Fortunately, in this place of Huangsha County, it is close to the desert, there are many experts in catching eagles and boiling eagles, and among the businessmen who come and go, there are many good people here, and the people from the county government government specially find them, verify their identity, and after confirming that there is no problem, they hired the government to cook eagles for Gu Xuan.

After working all day, the sky outside has completely darkened at this moment, Gu Xuan has eaten dinner, although the whole person is very tired, but he has not immediately cleaned up and sleeped, but lit a lamp in the room, sat at the table, and began to quietly read some documents in the yamen in the days when he left.

Unexpectedly, not long after he sat down, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Lu Yi stood at the door, didn't come in directly, just stood with his hands down, and said in a respectful tone: "Lord Wang, the minister has something to report." ”

He didn't directly say that "reincarnation" came, after all, the opposite side was the wing room where the Ma brothers lived, and they listened to it, and they only needed to inquire a little to know that they had gone to prison, so it was inevitable to be suspicious, Ma Erhu was a muddy person, and he wouldn't think much about it, but Ma Mingze was a smart child, as long as he scrutinized and verified, he would naturally know that the black narcissus was fine, and there might be a big problem at that time.

When Gu Xuan heard this, he quickly got up and opened the door, welcomed Lu Yi in, subconsciously glanced at the dark wing room opposite, was silent, turned around and gently closed the door and window again.

The two entered the room and sat opposite each other at the table, Gu Xuan poured water for him and handed it over.

Lu Yi stretched out his hand, took it respectfully, first took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and then smiled slightly: "Lord Wang, fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”

Of course, Gu Xuan knew what he was talking about, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and then asked, "Did she agree?"

Lu Yi nodded lightly and said: "Yes, and the rest of the people in the prison have also been absorbed, and the prince should now give this new yamen a name." ”

These people were all defeated by Gu Xuan at the gate of the city, but this is really not that they are too weak, on the contrary, they can be used as internal responses, and they are people with extraordinary martial arts, and they are used to do this shady work, which is suitable.

When Gu Xuan heard this, he waved his hand and said modestly: "Mr.'s talent is far above me, why should I show my cowardice in front of Mr.?"

Lu Yi said with a serious expression: "This yamen will be directly transferred by the prince in the future, and no one can touch it, how can an outsider give him a name, this is too much, please forgive the minister." ”

Whether it is the Tianluo and Earth Net of Liangguo, or the Mayfly of the Patriotic Country, Wutong Garden, etc., these spy yamen, which are directly serving the superiors, are a sharp knife hidden in the shadows, killing people invisibly, the rulers of all dynasties will not let others control on their behalf, this is a matter of principle, Lu Yi, as a minister, naturally does not dare to go beyond the name of it.

The way of being a minister is like this, no one who does not treat himself as a courtier has never had a better end, and anyone, as long as he ascends to that position, will no longer be the same person.

Gu Xuan was helpless, and he also knew that this matter really couldn't fake others, so he had to frown and ponder.

After a while, Gu Xuan said: "This place is called Huangsha County, facing the sea of sand, what we have to deal with is also the bandit Rakshasa in the desert, these people are all from the desert, and then I caught and drove them, in this case, this new yamen is called Shen Sha Bar, and the personnel in it are all called Sha Lang, what does Mr. think?"

When Lu Yi heard this, after thinking about it for a few breaths, he finally spoke: "Breaking the halberd and sinking into the sand, the meaning is not appropriate, the prince, how about calling it quicksand? ”

Gu Xuan's face was overjoyed, and he immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, good name, the name of quicksand, the most suitable, so, let's call it quicksand!"

Then, the two of them continued to talk about what they were going to do next, and the moon outside the window was scarce, and it was time for ordinary people to sleep, but there were several light horses, with orders to secretly go out of the city at night, the first one, with long hair fluttering, and a bright crown in the sea of sand.
