Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Death of Xiang Xiaoyu (I)

The starlight recedes, the cold fades, the sun rises in the east, and the first light shines.

It was supposed to be a beautiful night of spring, but it passed so ordinarily, and I kept thinking in my heart that with such a period of time as a buffer, it should be more suitable to talk about relationship problems with the other party again.

Because she was too nervous and embarrassed before, she forgot to say it, or said something bad, she could sit down and talk about it again, Gu Xuan thought, it would not make her hate herself, even if she hated, at least she had to have a clear conscience, and after a long time, she would understand her hard work.

I thought about it for a night, I couldn't sleep, so I got up early in the morning, just thinking that the others might not have woken up at this time, he also deliberately patient, and played a set of punches in the yard, but halfway through, he stopped because of his uncertain mind and distractions, he stood in place and thought for a moment, couldn't help but grab the coat that was resting on the stone table on the side, and ran to the courtyard where Duanmu Nanli lived.

It's a pity that Xie Shi, who led the way for him yesterday, was not good at night again, and he had been thinking silently in the back, how could he wait for him to explain his inner thoughts clearly without hurting the other party, so he didn't bother to remember the road.

He kept under his feet, completely relying on the most basic feeling in his heart, running around in a circle, and he couldn't find any trace of the small courtyard that was specially built to be hidden, and he felt extremely irritable in his heart, so he grabbed a servant passing by, and asked loudly: "Boy, do you know where Miss Nan Li lives?"

The latter was in a hurry to help in the kitchen, but for a while, before he could react, he was suddenly grabbed by him, so scared that he peed his pants, he stared at a pair of eyes, slightly enlarged his mouth, and looked at him, his hands were pinched in front of his chest like a pair of chicken feet, and his body shook slightly, for a long time, but he couldn't even say a word.

You can't blame him for being timid, in fact, a subordinate like him who can do things in Xie Mansion is definitely not a small number of big people he has seen on weekdays, plus being in it, compared to others, he will naturally have a sense of superiority that is enough to support his courage, so his courage is definitely big.

But there is no way, the turmoil last night, all the people in the house saw it, and now who doesn't know what the identity of this person in front of him is, not to mention looking at his one-eyed, fierce and vicious appearance, so where can he not be afraid, yesterday he heard that this kid didn't agree with a word, and directly hacked to death on the spot the old man of the Song family, who was the most generous in the past, this kind of murderous god who doesn't blink an eye, how can he not be afraid?

"Get out of here!"

Gu Xuan waited for him for a long time, it can be seen that he has not spoken, and he is already a little depressed in his heart, he is really irritable, and directly kicked the latter's ass, in fact, he didn't use much force, after all, he is not the kind of person who likes to anger others casually, but because the other party's whole body was scared weak just now, his knees were weak, and after being kicked once, he didn't pay attention all of a sudden, and directly fell a dog eating shit, and before he could get up from the ground, he quickly rolled and crawled, like a dehydrated catfish, and struggled to churn forward。

didn't care about this, seeing that a servant from the Xie family's mansion hurriedly walked over beside him, Gu Xuan hurriedly chased after him in two steps, and then stretched out his hand and stopped the other party, and then the other hand shook like lightning, and when he couldn't make a mistake, the other party was so frightened that he let go of his hand suddenly, causing the tray that fell to the ground to be caught steadily, and didn't let the soup soup that was firmly buckled by the lid on it all spill out at once, he couldn't wait to ask:" I'm tired of this little brother, I don't know where your master Xie Cheng is?"

Before leaving for the small courtyard together, Xie Shi insisted on letting him sleep in the room that was supposed to be the master's house tonight, saying that it had been prepared for him a long time ago, Gu Xuan knew the reason, since he couldn't refuse, he also took advantage of the situation to live, after all, many times, it should be your thing, if you forcibly refuse, it will be bad, so where Xie Shi lived last night, and where he is now, he is not Lu Yi, but he can't guess.

The kid in front of him was a little bolder, maybe it was also because Gu Xuan had a lesson from the past, so he deliberately slowed down his tone this time, and tried to make his appearance look gentle, at the moment, this kid stretched out his hand, pointed out a general direction for Gu Xuan, and then explained in a low voice: "You, you call here, turn left, go through three doors, and then turn right, and finally after passing a small courtyard, it will be a place, when the villain came over just now, he saw the master inside." ”

"Thank you!"

Gu Xuan was anxious, not only worried about Duanmu Nanli's situation, but also worried that Xie Shi had run away again during this time, he didn't want to delay time, so he quickly thanked him, let go of the other party, and then turned his head, leaned down, and carefully placed the tray in his hand on the railing next to him, obviously because he was worried that the other party hadn't eased up for a while, so don't shake his hand like the boneless "catfish essence" on the ground, and then smash all the things on it.

After carefully helping others put away their things, he finally turned around and strode towards the place where Xie Shi was pointing out just now.

This round and turn, but also thanks to him, he walked fast, so he found his destination in a few clicks,

I found that Xie Shi was indeed here, and for some reason, he got up so early, and was sitting in the small hall of ordinary hospitality at the moment, sitting opposite Lan Yunxuan and drinking tea, talking and laughing.

Because the frost in the yard in the morning is cold, even if the sun has come out a little, it has not yet melted, so it is temporarily inconvenient to be in the yard, saving wet clothes, especially the stone bench that has been frozen overnight, especially cold, the reason why the main door of the wing room will be opened at this moment is just to be able to ventilate, in fact, there is a heating stove in the house, which is definitely very warm.

Hearing the movement at the door, the two people in the inner room suddenly turned their heads to look out, and when they saw that it was Gu Xuan coming, Lan Yunxuan, as a subordinate, quickly put down the teacup, stood up, and greeted with his hand: "Good morning, Lord Wang! Xiaguan and Xie Situ just hit it off, so 。。。。。。 ”

Before the words were finished, Gu Xuan was very anxious at this time, and he really couldn't listen to these boring explanations, so he quickly stretched out his hand and stopped his words directly, and then asked Xie Shi in a deep voice: "That, I don't know where Miss Nan Li's yard is?"

When Xie Shi heard this, a mysterious and meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his face, not because he had done anything bad in secret, but because he acted frankly, he didn't eavesdrop outside last night, and after sending Gu Xuan to the place, he left in an orderly manner, and also specially told the people in the house not to disturb this pair tonight.

After he came back, he deliberately ordered some things to rest, and he didn't know what happened later, but according to human nature, plus looking at the other party's somewhat anxious appearance at the moment, he just speculated together.

He also thought that this majestic little prince had been a righteous gentleman who abided by etiquette last night, and he went back to the arranged house to rest, neither staying in the courtyard for the night, nor taking Princess Nanli to leave to her directly, thinking that it should be in the morning to know the taste of sorrow, and wanted to go to her, but accidentally forgot how to go, so he ran to himself so eagerly to ask.

In fact, in this regard, he and Gu Cang have similar ideas, otherwise they would not have taken the initiative to match these two people, because in their opinion, if Gu Xuan marries Duanmu Nanli, it will definitely be a win-win result.

First of all, one of these two people is the eldest princess of their David Kingdom, and the other is the king of Hedong County of Liang Kingdom, both of whom are descendants of the royal family, and their status is not low, and they are almost considered to be in the right place, even if it is said that the defense of the country has become history, but the people of these two states are still there, how to calm their emotions in this situation and not make trouble is a big problem for the imperial court.

Therefore, if Duanmu Nanli can represent the royal family of the country, the Ming media is marrying and marrying Gu Xuan, and Gu Xuan can be designated by His Majesty the Emperor as the future prince of Da Liang in the future, then it is not equivalent to saying that these two states will become the maiden family of the imperial concubine in the future, then it is not bad to be bad, so like this, it is not impossible to be a person of Liangguo.

Yes, although Gu Cang also wanted to match them, he didn't plan to give Duanmu Nanli, a simple little girl, the identity of the queen of Da Liang, in his heart, the most suitable, or the only person qualified to be the future queen of Da Liang, has always been the "sister-in-law" Ji Yaoling.

The reason is very simple, although Duanmu Nanli is good, he is not scheming and capable enough, and it will not be of much help to Gu Xuan and Da Liang in the future, but Ji Yaoling, a woman who is so smart, has great ambitions, and has enough means, if she can be sincerely accompanied by Gu Xuan, the role she can play is absolutely unimaginable to ordinary people.

Once these two girls finally become Gu Xuan's wives, plus what he has now, and the team he left for him, it will be difficult for anyone to threaten his status after he leaves.

Of course, whether Gu Xuan can take on the big responsibility after that can be regarded as the last test he left for the other party, it is not obvious for the time being, and it is no wonder that he Gu Cang will intersperse so many things about interests in Gu Xuan's feelings, and he really responded to a sentence, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight"!

Xie Shi would refuse this request to lead the way, so he immediately bowed his hand and said with a smile: "I'll take you there." ”

After that, he didn't think much about it, so he walked out directly, but when Lan Yunxuan came out with him, he said more to Gu Xuan: "Lord Wang, since this is the case, then the lower officials will go to rectify those black boys first, and when you are done with everything, we can set off at any time." ”

Lan Yunxuan is an outsider who doesn't know what information at all, he doesn't know the twists and turns in this matter, although when he was drinking tea just now, Xie Shi mentioned a few words, but he didn't delve into it, first, both of them understood the truth of being a Venerable, since it was a private matter of the master's family, it was not a question that they should explore in depth, and second, he Lan Yunxuan also had another task, and he couldn't care about these emotional issues that he was not good at, after all, Gu Xuan had already told him that he was going to set off again today and go to the Jin Kingdom.

Gu Xuan waved his hand to Lan Yunxuan, but did not speak, he really didn't want to say more, and even looked a little impatient, but Lan Yunxuan didn't care, just saluted silently, and left, leaving Xie Shi alone, like last night, leading the way for Gu Xuan in front.

One of the two people walked in front and the other followed behind, and their steps were very urgent, so it didn't take long for them to reach the place.

In such brightness

In the daytime, after observing the surrounding environment, you can see a hidden nature of this yard, the angle of the gate, it is different from the general yard like open on the main road, but biased, against a path that is not paved with stone steps, and there are very dense plants at the door as a cover, verdant and secluded, so that the whole yard looks naturally a very deserted, lonely, deserted feeling.

It is also thanks to a girl like Duanmu Nanli who seems to be as sunny as the afternoon sun, who can stabilize her heart and live here, which is really the power of love, which can make people ignore all external objects.

When he arrived at the gate, there was a very small, faint knock on the door from inside, Gu Xuan, who was still contemplating with his head down, suddenly raised his head, crossed Xie Shi in front, and rushed in directly with an arrow step, and when he got inside, he looked closely, only to find that it was the maid on the Xie family's house who was knocking on the door.

This early in the morning, not only to eat and fill the stomach breakfast, including washing, dressing, and changing the stove, it is up to them to be responsible for these little maids, and this is also the time for them to come over routinely and serve the eldest lady to get up.

Suddenly, I heard a rush of footsteps behind me, and the two little maids holding a kettle wrapped in a rattan coat on the outside turned around and looked over with another maid holding a tray with an iron lid in one hand.

Gu Xuan hurriedly turned his head slightly, blocking his eye wearing an eye patch, not wanting to scare the other party, just waved his hand to signal that they didn't have to worry about themselves, and continued to knock on the door, but at this moment, he suddenly raised his head and noticed the snow-white kapok cloak that was placed on the stone bench in the middle of the courtyard.

He clearly remembered that this was the dress that Duanmu Nanli wore to keep out the cold when he was here last night, and now it was stained with a layer of slimy soil, Gu Xuan hurriedly walked up, and when he touched it, it turned out to be a very wet and cold feeling, obviously this dress has been left here all night.

He felt bad, an extremely ominous feeling, suddenly surfaced in his heart, he didn't dare to think about it, he hurriedly walked up, until he ran to the door of the wing, his five senses have been extremely keen, and suddenly smelled a faint fragrance that others could not smell, and there was a lighter, completely looming smell of blood in the middle.

"Get out of the way!"

He was in a hurry, he couldn't help but snort softly, pressed his hands on the firmly closed door, and pushed it in, and a dark energy passed in, only to hear the sound of broken pieces of wood inside, which was the latch that had been inserted from the inside.

As soon as he pushed the door open, Gu Xuan walked in directly, because he felt a little bad at the moment, he didn't care about the rules of women's boudoir and men who were not good at trespassing, so he was anxious to search for the traces of Duanmu Nanli everywhere, and the two little maids at the door didn't dare to follow this fierce and vicious master, so they could only hold things and stay at the door tremblingly waiting for the summons.

After entering the door, the room inside is the most normal pattern, at the beginning is a small hall that is usually used to entertain guests, with tea sets and wine, etc., which should be decorated, and it is complete, and then separated by a very thick landscape screen, is the master's study, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and four treasures of the study, all pressed on the table, and then later, you need to pass through a wooden door, which is the real living bedroom.

This is a very particular high-ranking family.

As soon as Gu Xuan came in, he only made a slight distinction from left to right, and he already knew a rough idea, crossed the landscape screen, and walked to the study in a few steps.

In other words, the source of the smell of blood that made him feel terrified and worried, he had actually found it.

That extremely ominous feeling suddenly rose from his heart, and that feeling was so obvious, his heart had jumped to his throat at the moment, he was obviously not tired, but he gasped, and hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the door that separated the study from the inner bedroom, and pulled it gently, but it was not opened, obviously the same as the door, it was locked from the inside.

But under what circumstances, the people inside will lock two doors in a row, and how much she should not want to see the outside world?

"Nan Li!

He clenched his fists, trying to calm down the mood that had become turbulent, knocking on the wooden door again and again, and at the same time calling her name with some eagerness and worry, not that he could not open it with brute force, but only because he was afraid that if nothing happened, he would disturb the people inside.

But after waiting for a few breaths, there was no movement inside, which suddenly made the feeling of uneasiness in Gu Xuan's heart become more and more intense, as if he was violently pulled to the limit by a pair of hands, he couldn't help it anymore, his hands grabbed the crack in the middle of the door, and pushed the right to both sides.

With his divine power, how could a small wooden door stop him?

"Click!"

The latch inside only lasted for a breath, and was torn off by its brute force, broken into two, and fell to the ground with sawdust, and the door opened, but what came into view was a scene that he would never have imagined and never dared to imagine.
