Although Xiao Zheng tried his best to cover up the peace, the news that Da Song and Princess Qin were almost burned to death by fire at the Liaoguo Post Station was really appalling. The nearest official, who came in a car himself, was allowed to come to the tent of the third princess, and said with trepidation that he would definitely catch the arsonist.
This sentence almost didn't make Xiao Zheng angry, he originally wanted to prevaricate with an excuse that the weather was dry. Although Princess Heqin was frightened, she was not injured after all, but now it is good, someone wants to ask for credit, but to be honest, it is an arson case. If the suspect can't be caught, the emperor will blame him, and Xiao Zheng will have a headache and almost want to kick the unknown official in front of him out.
The official didn't know it yet, and after listening to the princess's earnest explanation, if he caught the suspect, he would not be able to spare him, and he would almost boast about Haikou. Then he said that the residence where the princess was staying had been arranged, and asked the princess to move immediately.
The three princesses were supported by Liu Zhuxue, and Tingting sat in the exclusive carriage. Xiao Zheng couldn't move his legs when he saw Liu Zhuxue, and what he heard in his ears was Pei Yonglun's fanning of the flames: "It turns out that the sudden fire at the post station was deliberately indulged, and it seems that there are a lot of people in Liao who don't want to see the princess of the Great Song Dynasty marry her relatives." ”
Xiao Zheng was excited, and hurriedly replied: "This is just a hypothetical possibility. The Liao region is dry all year round, and fires are prone to occur, which may not be arson. This official made a lot of nonsense in front of the princess, and he must be strictly controlled. ”
"Lord Xiao, I heard what he said just now very well, why don't you let him tell the truth?" The third princess seemed innocent and added a sentence through the carriage.
Xiao Zheng hurriedly clamped his tail and went back to his carriage in a gloomy manner. He is a smart person, so he naturally sees that he can't please in front of the third princess, and the more he talks about it, the more wrong he becomes.
Liu Zhuxue saw that Xiao Zheng was deflated again, and she was in a good mood, sitting next to the third princess, the corners of her mouth were crooked.
Gu Changming took the little phoenix away from the tent first, gave up riding the horse, and let the snow follow the carriage in parallel. He stayed in the carriage to take care of the little phoenix.
"Brother Gu, I said that I was fine, maybe I choked on the smoke, or I could have hit my head somewhere. You see how good I am when I wake up, you don't have to worry. The little phoenix was almost unable to sit still by Gu Changming's eyes, "Senior brother, he saved me from the fire, and I haven't said thank you to him yet." ”
"Senior brother left." Gu Changming knew that Qi Sheng still had unfinished tasks, and it was a coincidence that they met. In addition, Qi Sheng thought that the little phoenix was lying and deliberately acting, Gu Changming was unmoved by his words, a little sullen, and when he saw them start again, he explained that he would not continue to follow, so he said goodbye, and the future was long.
Gu Changming didn't want to convey Qi Sheng's suspicious words to Little Phoenix, the person he saw would definitely not waver regardless of the wind and rain. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look down at the little phoenix, she fainted twice, and soaked in cold water again, her little face was pale, even more haggard, and she looked like she was fine.
"It's rare for you brothers to see each other, and he said he would leave." Little Phoenix turned his head sideways and wondered, "Is it because I offended him?" ”
"He has unfinished business and has nothing to do with you." Gu Changming asked tentatively again, "Before you fainted for the second time, you said that you saw a person in the burning corridor, who was that person?" ”
The little phoenix looked at him blankly: "Is it your senior brother?" Didn't he happen to save me? ”
"He didn't see you in the corridor on the second floor, and when you said it, it was like a ghost, and he must have been impressed." Although Gu Changming had never doubted the little phoenix, the current situation was really weird, and it was only a long time between before and after. is also the third princess, she said that she couldn't see the other party's appearance in the sky, and she could only be sure that it was a tall man, which was understandable. The little phoenix said forget it, no matter how much you remind it, it doesn't work.
The little phoenix clenched his fist and knocked the side of his head a few times, his smile was bitter and sweet, "In a trance, I thought I saw you, thinking that as long as you appear by your side, no matter where the other party is, I will not be afraid anymore." What a fool's idea. ”
Gu Changming sighed lightly, couldn't help but hold the person in his arms, and comforted him softly: "When I rushed in to look for you, I also smelled a strange aroma, and my eyesight and ears were impaired, and I could barely retreat with my whole body. Your body is originally different, and if you want to find the source, you must go back to Qikun Gate once. ”
"You take my word for it?" The little phoenix asked in a muffled voice, a heart full of apprehension.
"If you don't believe me, why ask?" Gu Changming's hand tapped twice on the top of her head, "Send the third princess to Shangjing, and I'll go to Qikun Gate with you." ”
"The owner of the door is very fierce, I don't want to see him." The little phoenix flattened her mouth, "If you walk with me, I will not be afraid of heaven and earth." ”
Gu Changming was very helpful to her words, raised his head and laughed: "How many people are there in the Qi Kun Sect, if they rush up in a swarm." No matter how good my martial arts are, I can't withstand the wheel war. ”
"Let's bring Miss Liu and the fruit together, and the four of us are invincible." The little phoenix sat up straight excitedly, "The third princess also said that I look like a concubine in the palace, go back and ask the door master where I picked me up, maybe I can find my biological parents along the vine." ”
Gu Changming saw that the haze in her eyes had dissipated, so he relieved his heart: "This trip to send relatives is difficult, and the emperor has the heart to send Pei Yonglun." He is General Yujing's person, and he has nothing to do with the palace people and court officials, but he is the best for the third princess. Coupled with Miss Liu's protection, I currently suspect that there are any ill-intentioned envoys in the Liao State! ”
"That Xiao Zheng is not a good person, looking at Sister Liu's gaze is simply ......" After all, the little phoenix is a girl who has not come out of the cabinet, and she is embarrassed to say something.
"Did you two change your name?" Gu Changming was careful, and when the little phoenix called Sister Liu, his tone was extremely gentle. Although the two have different backgrounds and have the same fate, he agrees with the friendship between the two.
"When I met in person, Sister Liu didn't hold a grudge and took care of me who was seriously injured. Originally, I thought she was from everyone's best background, and she couldn't climb high, so I was embarrassed to mention it. These days, she is more easy-going than I look. "Little Phoenix wrenched her hand," woke up from the tent, and couldn't help but mention it to her, and she immediately agreed. Said that she was a few months older than me, and that she would be an older sister and I would be a younger sister in the future, and that we would take care of each other. ”
The carriage in which the two of them were riding suddenly braked, Gu Changming was very vigilant, and told the little phoenix not to get out of the car first, and to rush out directly and rush towards the front of the convoy.
Pei Yonglun crossed his hands on his hips and shouted at the leading car: "What's wrong?" ”
"There are other cars and horses coming towards you, and if you don't stop, the two sides will collide together." The team leader replied loudly.
Pei Yonglun tilted his head and looked at Gu Changming beside him: "Didn't those officials already send people over, why are there still a large group of carriages and horses that are not aimed at us?" ”
Gu Changming's eyes narrowed slightly, "You take a closer look." ”
The carriage of the leader on the opposite side was already in full view, and the horses pulling the carriage were extremely wonderful, Pei Yonglun looked at the dark eagle painted outside the carriage, and couldn't help but want to retreat, for fear of being laughed at by Gu Changming. This eagle has a golden ring around its neck, as if it can fly high at any time, which is the logo of Yelu Longxu of the Liao Holy Sect.
"Unexpectedly, the emperor of Liao is very interested in this peace." As soon as Gu Changming saw that the main master had arrived, those with ulterior motives were afraid that it would not be so easy to do it again, so they could rest assured, "Master Pei, get ready to take over." ”
Pei Yonglun secretly took two sips, he didn't want to see the emperor of Liao as soon as possible, there was still a long distance between here and Shangjing. He secretly glanced at Gu Changming: "I have fought with the Liao soldiers for several years before, do you think the emperor of the Liao Kingdom can recognize me?" ”
"If you recognize it, you shouldn't have seen it, are you still here to settle old accounts with you?" Gu Changming patted Pei Yonglun's shoulder with a gentle smile, "Lord Pei had better also put the past and old grievances behind and remember the ultimate purpose of this trip." ”
"How can I watch you gloat?" Pei Yonglun rolled his eyes suspiciously, and when he saw that Gu Changming was quietly about to retreat, he hurriedly stopped the person, "You stay and press the formation for me, don't run away." ”
"I'm not the emperor's shadow, how can I casually reveal my whereabouts?" Gu Changming saw the horse team galloping on the opposite side, stopped cleanly, and neatly planned down the twelve Xuan-robed guards, who were well-trained masters at a glance, "Have you sent someone to talk to the third princess?" ”
"Where could I have thought of so much!" Pei Yonglun screamed twice, there was no figure of Gu Changming in front of him, and he was so angry that he almost smashed his fist out.
Dai Guozi cat watched the excitement behind the car, and when he saw Gu Changming coming to arrest someone, he appeared with a smile: "It's not a few dark losses, the cup bow snake shadow, I want to come and see if the situation is wrong, I will quickly take someone to withdraw first." ”
"Go and tell Miss Liu, let the third princess be ready, and the emperor of Liao may go to see her." Gu Changming definitely didn't dare to take it lightly, "Don't be afraid." ”
"Understand, I think the third princess is not small, and she won't be scared." Dai Guozi laughed and hurriedly went over to ventilate the news.
Gu Changming stared at the twelve guards divided into two rows, a dark horse came steadily, and the man on the horseback was extremely tall, with a cold look that looked at the world.
Pei Yonglun didn't know whether to come forward to salute or wait for the other party to speak, Xiao Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The emperor is in person, and he has never been far away." ”
"Who is the leader of the Song Kingdom's family sending team?" Yelu Longxu's voice was deep and majestic.
Pei Yonglun stabilized his mind, he always had to see each other sooner or later, why bother showing his timidity. He stepped forward and saluted: "Pei Yonglun, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, has seen the Holy Emperor. ”
"No courtesy." Yelu Longxu jumped off his horse and walked in front of Pei Yonglun in two big strides, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "General Yujing has been fine for the past two years?" ”
Pei Yonglun had just prepared all the polite words that were blocked in his throat, and secretly cursed Gu Changming, who said that the emperor of Liao would not be careful, and he would mention General Yujing when he met, and he clearly remembered that he remembered the grudge and let him take it easy. Thinking about it, he still replied politely: "The general has been sent to the border to fight in the past two years, and he is in good health, and everything is very good. ”
Yelu Longxu nodded and said, "Princess Heqin is escorted by General Yujing's cronies, and your country has a heart." Gu heard that the princess had a bumpy road to Shangjing and suffered a little, so she came to greet her in person to show Gu's sincerity. ”
His gaze was far-reaching, and he locked on the carriage behind Pei Yonglun, and without waiting for Xiao Zheng to say anything to stop him, he said directly: "Go and see the princess first." ”
Pei Yonglun had to lead the way, Yelu Longxu did not force the princess to get out of the car to meet her, Da Song had a lot of constraints on women, he didn't want the beauty to be frightened, so he chose to stand by the carriage window and speak: "The princess is frightened, Lone will not let the princess be wronged in vain, and will definitely find out the real culprit behind the scenes." ”
