Pei Yonglun saw Dai Guozi suddenly retracted, where is there any reason that he doesn't understand, this is not treating him as his own. He didn't care much, anyway, when he returned to Kaifeng Mansion and handed over the task, he would immediately return to General Yujing, and it was really hard to say when he would see him again in the future.

Dai Guozi had a frank expression: "Shouldn't Master Pei inquire about how the Liao Holy Sect will deal with Xiao Zheng, otherwise how will he explain to the emperor when he goes back?" ”

"That's right, after the princess's wedding, I'm afraid that Liao Shengzong won't have the leisure to take care of me, so I can't waste my time here for a word." Pei Yonglun stood up and walked out, "When are you going to leave?" ”

"With Master Pei." Gu Changming was very glad that he was accompanied by such a neat person, "Master Pei, don't worry, the third princess will not have another accident." ”

Dai Guozi waited for Pei Yonglun to walk away before asking, "How do you know that the princess won't have an accident?" ”

"There are a few more people outside Ruchun Palace, and they should all be cronies of the Liao Holy Sect. These people only listen to the words of Liao Shengzong alone, and will not conceal it or report it, let alone sit idly by. Gu Changming saw Dai Guozi Zhengyuan's eyes, lowered his head and smiled, "You must say that there is such a good thing again, why didn't you send it over earlier?" ”

"Is it deliberately to give Xiao Zheng a chance?" Dai Guozi guessed, "You also said that Xiao Zheng would not be a capital crime." ”

"I'll hear soon." Gu Changming is very sure, Liao Shengzong has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and he will definitely not procrastinate, so as not to dream too much at night.

After the third princess tried the wedding dress, she was a little tired, and she had to cheer up. The queen is not idle at all, people keep sending things over, and the third princess needs to take over in person, Liu Zhuxue helps register it in the register, and mark where to place it. The particularly valuable jewelry was all sent to the house of the third princess.

Gu Changming was moved by what the fruit said, the one who saved people has not shown up so far, maybe he can find some clues by going out for a walk. After thinking about it, he decided to explore the Jade Hall again.

The Qingyu Hall is surrounded by silk, and the guards are not very strict. Gu Changming jumped in without alarming anyone. There was still a faint smell of gunpowder in the hall, Gu Changming saw a broken wall, and then thought of what Pei Yonglun said Xiao Zheng had spent a lot of money, and smiled bitterly.

Although he was appointed by the emperor, it was only to protect the safety of the third princess, and Xiao Zheng was a bit of a fuss about treating him like this. Gu Changming walked in quickly while thinking, and arrived at the place where the ambush was in the middle. The bed had already been blown out, and even the palace door was tilted to the side. According to his memory, he stepped on the collapsed and fallen position, and stepped on two feet hard, and the ground was stable and unmoved.

If it weren't for the fact that he was very confident in himself, Gu Changming would have to doubt that the fruit was good, and there was no mechanism at all. He looked around, and the device that triggered the mechanism was nearby, otherwise it wouldn't have been so accurate.

With a flash of crystal light in his eyes, Gu Changming walked straight towards the half of the wall that had not collapsed, and there was something reflecting in the corner of the wall. It was probably buried in the wall, shaken by the power of gunpowder, and revealed.

Sure enough, his fingers touched the bump of the cold metal, and he pressed it to hear the sound of the mechanism being touched. Gu Changming avoided the foothold, but saw that the three-foot square hole was undoubtedly revealed. He walked over to the hollow and tried to look down, but it was almost as dark as he could see.

How long did the person who rescued him lurk in the harem before he discovered that there was such a mechanism hidden in the Qingyu Hall next to the Liao Shengzong's imperial study. If that person is really a father, and the father has only been away from home for a few months, how can he do so much?

Gu Changming wanted to close the mechanism, but found that no matter how much he pressed it, the hole was always wide open. Does it mean that someone has to jump in to close it? Since he had already jumped for the first time, why not jump once.

When Gu Changming's feet stepped on the ground, the mechanism above his head was really closed, and it was pitch black all around. He stood there alertly, perhaps on his part, for he was not alone, and the sound of another person's breathing in the darkness was slow and distinct.

For a while, it is impossible to tell whether the other party is friend or foe, and I don't know how many secrets lurk in the dark. Gu Changming reined in his internal breath, the other party must have determined his position first, and where he couldn't see his five fingers, he was obviously at a disadvantage.

The silence dispersed, and Gu Changming unexpectedly heard the other party speak: "Why are you here!" ”

This voice will not be mistaken at all. Gu Changming had no worries anymore and lit the fire fold. At the same time, the man also lit an oil lamp.

"That's what I want to ask, why are you here!" Gu Changming saw the two lights lit up, and suddenly turned around to look directly at the other party, "Xiao Zheng, shouldn't you be squatting on death row!" ”

Xiao Zheng looked at his empty hand vigilantly, seeing that he didn't hold a sharp weapon in his hand, his voice was no longer tense, and asked tentatively, "You didn't come to look for me, you just happened to come over to take a look?" ”

"If I knew that Lord Xiao was here, I would definitely be ready to jump down again." Gu Changming said politely, "We went all the way north, and all the troubles we encountered were carefully set up by Lord Xiao, and out of courtesy, we should also prepare a return gift for Lord Xiao." ”

"Don't, I know you have good martial arts and a good brain, but I can't fight you." Xiao Zheng put the lamp in his hand to the side, and Gu Changming saw that he was originally sitting on a chair, and he obviously stood up to guard when he heard the mechanism open, "If you want to see how you escaped death, then you may be disappointed." Because I didn't calculate that someone would come to your rescue here. ”

"If I had been killed by the bombing at that time, what would be the next step for Lord Xiao?" Gu Changming pressed forward step by step, not giving Xiao Zheng a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

"If you die, I will still be surrounded by the emperor's cronies and guards in the cold palace, and Liao Song will still succeed with your relatives, the difference is only that you are dead." Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that you don't believe my words." ”

"Do I have old grudges and new grudges with you?" Gu Changming naturally didn't believe it, but when he was in Kaifeng Mansion, he also indirectly saved Xiao Zheng. Even if Xiao Zheng's ghost sent the god to the Gu family later asked to marry Liu Zhuxue but failed, it was not a matter of life and death.

"No, it's just that someone else wants you dead." The corners of Xiao Zheng's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh and held back, "Don't ask me, who that person is, I won't say." ”

"What if I had the means to get you to speak?" Gu Changming originally thought that he was playing tricks, but the facts were in front of him. If at the beginning, Xiao Zheng's various destructive methods were not to break up the harmony, then the target was directly transferred from the third princess to himself, "I didn't expect that I was such a person looking for hatred and hatred." ”

"Your Majesty probably doesn't really want you to die." Xiao Zheng tilted his head to look at his reaction, this person was indifferent when he encountered anything, and it was indeed unpleasant. But Xiao Zheng had to believe that even in such a secret passage, Gu Changming would still have the means to make his life worse than death. After seeing Gu Changming's face change slightly after all, he looked up and laughed proudly, "No matter how smart a person is, there are times when he is secret, otherwise who do you think it will be?" ”

"Then you also arranged the person who rescued me?" Gu Changming's surprise was just a flash, and before he was completely sure, what he heard was still Xiao Zheng's words.

"I'm sorry, I want to know more than you who that person is." Xiao Zheng took two steps forward suddenly, and his face was almost on Gu Changming's face, "Believe it or not, you caused the murderous disaster, don't come to me for trouble." I'm just doing what I'm told, and killing me won't help. ”

"In the post station, I just thought that someone was going to attack the third princess." Gu Changming was suspicious of Xiao Zheng, especially the fire in the post station in Liaoguo, "It seems that I haven't realized that my life is also very concerned." Liao Shengzong wants me to die, and it won't do him any good. ”

"Maybe it's just someone else." Xiao Zheng's expression was a little hideous and distorted in the firelight, "Changming Gongzi, although he has never been in the office, he has solved a lot of cases. You are capable and comfortable, but how many people are jealous of you in the dark, because you are the son of Gu Wuduo, the criminal secretary, so they dare not touch you. There are always people in the world who are more courageous and are not afraid of offending powerful people. If you still don't believe me, I can only say that there is a Song man who can speak very well by His Majesty's side, this person's identity is mysterious, but he has advised His Majesty several times, maybe he happens to have an enmity with you. ”

"So, aren't you the one who is most wronged?" Gu Changming didn't retreat, but instead looked at it. The firelight was also imprinted in his eyes, only a slight layer of light, "Bearing the charge of poisoning the emperor, the official position of the privy envoy will definitely not be able to be kept, whether he is alive or dead will have to wait for a word from Liao Shengzong." ”

"I have very few options, and you're luckier than I am." Xiao Zheng saw that the radical general method was still ineffective against him, so he took the initiative to retreat, "Although the foundation of the Xiao family seems to be stable, if the emperor wants to shake it, no one can stop it." The eldest sister is the queen, naturally she can't be a sacrificial pawn, the spark can start a prairie fire, and someone must be willing to come forward to be this spark. ”

"The queen's position is kept, and the dragon son is born, and the Xiao family is still the Xiao family." Gu Changming understood his words, "Throw some chess pieces that can be discarded out of the chessboard, although the Xiao family can't win this game, at least it won't lose too ugly." ”

Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes and laughed: "I believe that there are many people in the Song Dynasty who want to watch you die, and it is simply a terrible thing for a person to be too smart and not contained." The Qingyu Hall chosen by His Majesty was originally intended to leave you a way to live. If you have any doubts, you can ask Your Majesty who has such a far-reaching grudge with you, and maybe Your Majesty is still in a good mood for the wedding, and some clues will be revealed. ”

"After all this, I am sure that this is the end of the matter. In public or private, I will not continue to ask. Because I would never allow and pro to fail. Gu Changming was unmoved, "Of course, after I know the truth, I will be more careful in the future, so as not to offend too many people and make it difficult to investigate the case again." Liao Shengzong deliberately put me together in order to relieve hatred for others. I don't want to find out who that person is, and it's wise to choose to stay away from the land of right and wrong as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Zheng saw that he was not curious, and he was about to leave, and couldn't help shouting: "You don't even want to know who wants to kill you?" ”

"There are many people who want to kill me, but none of them succeed." Gu Changming's pace did not change, and Xiao Zheng naturally would not catch up, so he chose to take this path, which was equivalent to choosing to stay in the dark.

When he was about to walk to the exit, Xiao Zheng's voice came from afar: "A drum, grass and trees are born." Two drumming, memory blank. Three drums, the past hurts. Four drums, the song passed away. Five drums, begging for God. Six drums, clear minds. ”
