Gu Changming's face was sneering, the little phoenix couldn't open which pot to mention. Knowing that it was the shadow of Liu Zhuxue's past, he tried to avoid it as much as possible, so he chose to say it at this time. He was afraid that he would provoke people too hard, and his mood would fluctuate too much, and something would go wrong.
Unexpectedly, after Liu Zhuxue was obviously stunned, her expression was calm: "If this is the case, the Queen Mother is still unforgiving to me, then it is too much to exalt me." That family business can't be counted at all, and it can't even be counted as the joy of ordinary people. Besides, Brother Gu worked hard to help the Queen Mother find out who was behind the scenes, I was innocent from beginning to end, so what was the point of her holding a high position and pinching me to death as a flat-headed person. ”
Dai Guozi always looked at her with a nervous face, and after listening to her words, it suddenly became clear that Xiaozhu was one step ahead of them, and he had already put down those obscurities that he refused to take out.
"My father only thought that the Nine Emperor Sons were seriously ill, so he agreed to the Queen Mother's verbal promise. It's just a verbal sentence, what is the count? Liu Zhuxue closed her eyes slightly, if the Queen Mother looked for her again, if it was the same, she would still dare to refute it in person. I want to listen to how the Queen Mother will explain, knowing that the Nine Emperor Princes are suffering from strange diseases, Mo said that it later developed to the point where it could not end, that is, the bloodthirsty bite, could it be that the candle night in the cave room could not send the bride to death.
"What if the Queen Mother thinks this is a scandal in the royal family and gags you to make sure that the news is not revealed?" After the little phoenix said this, he patted his forehead vigorously. She is probably stupid, she really wants to kill people, and at this moment, no one in the room can hide.
"The case of the Nine Emperor Princes, of course, is not very good, and many people have died. After all, the Nine Emperors did not intend to kill people, but were framed by others, and they couldn't help themselves, the murderer had already been brought to justice, and the Queen Mother would not make a big fuss about this, otherwise it would only make her feel uncomfortable and unhappy. Gu Changming's fingers tapped twice on the corner of the table, "Most likely your brother has won the favor of the emperor, and the people in the palace who are about to move seem to be beasts that smell blood, and they can't wait to come forward and get a piece of the pie." The Queen Mother also needs to pull connections, that's why she thought of you. ”
Indeed, in addition to the Queen Mother, there are still a few people who remember that the eldest lady of the Liu family disappeared from the family tree for no reason. After Liu Zhiyuan's tragic death, he neither showed up nor followed his eldest son to take office. Even a little whisper, it was smoothed out by the invisible forces.
"If that's the case, don't worry too much. The Queen Mother can refer to the marriage, and Miss Liu can also refuse and avoid it. You are alone now, although you live in the Gu family temporarily, the Gu family is not your relatives, the Queen Mother is angry for a while, and she can't embarrass outsiders. As you say, if you are narrow-minded like that, you will be in vain for that high position. Gu Changming beat the tense nerves in the palace, and it was only at this point that he was completely released.
If you want to count the credit, you must first give a share to the little phoenix who dares to say it. The topic she provoked led to the frank treatment later. Gu Changming thought of this and gave her an approving look.
The corners of the little phoenix's mouth curled slightly, and her smile rose, but she saw Gu Changming's face sank, and his body jumped out of the door.
"Brother Gu!" When the little phoenix saw this situation, she thought that something was wrong, but she didn't think about it, and hurriedly followed.
Leaving Dai Guozi and Liu Zhuxue to look at each other: "Let's go and take a look, the two of them are too fast, and they have already arrived in the outer courtyard at this time." ”
The little phoenix's body was lighter, and she was willing to spread out in the courtyard, and soon caught up with Gu Changming: "Who is outside?" ”
"Somebody's slapping the ball." Gu Changming came to a headless sentence, and the corners of his eyes twitched faintly, "I heard the sound of the ball, the same rhythm, the same weight." ”
If it weren't for the slightly incredible events that they had experienced together, Little Phoenix would never have thought that the simple sound of a slap could make Gu Changming, who was so calm, restless to this extent. She suddenly had a creepy feeling that wherever they went, the other seemed to follow.
Even when they inadvertently decided on the idea of sending Suna back to the village, the other party seemed to know everything about it. How the hell is it done! Could it be ...... The little phoenix didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear that it would really become cranky, and anyone she saw in the future would have to doubt it first.
Gu Changming had already arrived outside the gate of the outer courtyard, and he used the fastest speed to judge the direction of the sound, far and near. Sure enough, when he pushed the courtyard door open, the dripping ball rolled to his feet, but there was no one to see.
He didn't believe in evil, and he didn't believe that the other party's speed could exceed the two of them several times, so he glanced at the little phoenix. The little phoenix understood and immediately traced the past in the opposite direction.
Gu Changming held the ball in one hand and flew all the way. This piece is the Gu family's house, with high walls and trees. The man seemed to have disappeared from the spot, leaving no trace. When he chased him out into the street, he was confronted with the noise and the bustling pedestrians, as if a huge wave had slapped directly on his face, so that he could barely stand still.
The little phoenix on the other side also chased out to the street, and the two seemed to have a heart, and unconsciously walked quickly in each other's direction. When the eyes of the two met in mid-air, the little phoenix saw Gu Changming showing such a disappointed expression for the first time, and she hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother Gu, the other party came prepared, and it is normal for us to be caught off guard." She grabbed the small ball that Gu Changming was holding in her hand and looked at it over and over again. It's not the slightest different from the balls that children play with on weekdays, and there's really no flaw. Whether the other party wants to warn or intimidate, it is really more difficult to guess than the queen mother's mind.
"The first time, the second time, being caught off guard can be explained. This is already the fifth time. Gu Changming was instantly tired all over his body, and even his voice was low and hoarse, "Obviously there are several doors, but I can hear it so clearly." ”
The sound of the ball hitting his ear was like sticking to his ear, and each blow hit the eardrum, exactly five times.
When Gu Changming came back from the southwest border, he always felt as if something was missing, and he really couldn't remember it for a while. When the ball appeared, he realized that every time the case was solved, the familiar nursery rhyme did not appear.
If his memory is not biased, one drum, two drums, three drums, four drums...... And the sound of the slap he just heard was exactly five times, five strokes impartially.
Five drums!
What about the nursery rhymes in the back!
Gu Changming turned around twice in place, trying to find the other party's hiding place in this blue sky and white day. I know, I know, I know that the other party has already left, and where can I find it.
"Brother Gu, don't turn around, if you turn around, you'll be dizzy." Seeing that his face was getting worse and worse, the little phoenix didn't care about his face, and stepped forward and hugged his waist with both hands, "Brother Gu, we will definitely have a chance to arrest people in the future, we can run this time, but we can't run next time." ”
Although she knew that they were all comforting words, Little Phoenix didn't dare to stop one sentence after another: "I never thought that I would be caught before, as soon as you made a move, didn't I run away." The other party will not give up, and what we have to wait for is not good. ”
Gu Changming was softly hugged by her, and it was impossible to turn around again. The little phoenix was almost in his arms, raising his face, his eyes were anxious and concerned, his heart was relieved, his back was loosened, and his voice softened: "You're right, this is not the time to close the case, nor is it the last time to be more serious." If I don't get into the horns and don't come out, I will let them succeed, and there will be a chance. ”
"How can you two run so far, let's find it." Dai Guozi finally saw the figure, and walked over with Liu Zhuxue separated from the crowd, "Are you still planning to go out again, don't you want to drag the two of us down?" ”
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the intimate posture of the little phoenix, and his mouth snorted. The little phoenix jerked her hands back and hid them behind her back, pretending that nothing had happened just now.
Without waiting for Dai Guozi to say another few teasing words, Liu Zhuxue twisted his arm from behind and forbade him to speak. I didn't see Gu Changming just nervous like that, and when he pounced, it was faster than the long arrow that opened the bow. Looking at the posture, it must have been that no one was chased, and the little phoenix was comforting with a good voice, where was the fruit to intervene and destroy.
The little phoenix's crimson cheeks said it all, and Gu Changming's gloomy and incomprehensible mood seemed to reveal a faint sigh when he saw that touch of rose, and he cheered up again: "I didn't catch anyone, and when we came out, we didn't even see a human figure." ”
"If the little phoenix shoots the ball outside the door, you rush out of a few courtyard gates, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch it." Dai Guozi didn't bargain, so he changed his hand and patted Gu Changming's shoulder twice, "It's all clear when you think about it like this, there are many people who are good at light work." Besides, people didn't plan to wait for you to catch up, throw the ball and run. And you have to wait for time to stop and pick up such a gadget. ”
Dai Guozi grabbed the ball from the little phoenix's hand again: "This time has been delayed by coming and going, and there is definitely no one who should run." ”
Gu Changming stared at the ball: "If I hadn't stopped to pick up the ball, maybe there would have been a chance." ”
"Of course, there's a silver lining." Dai Guozi made an exaggerated smile, "It's just that people have calculated everything for you, haven't they?" ”
"I've counted my every step, this person specializes in people's hearts." Gu Changming saw that Guozi's arm shook, and threw the ball over, which happened to fall into his arms, and it could be regarded as a complete return to Zhao.
"It can only be said that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people." Dai Guozi had a particularly old-fashioned tone, "No matter how he shoots the ball or sings any messy songs, you don't hear it, it's a miscalculation, and it's what makes him waste his efforts." ”
Gu Changming was amused by this sentence: "In the future, you won't ignore the sound of the slap ball?" ”
"Please, in the streets and alleys, there are countless children who shoot the ball, if you hear it in the future, it will not be an investigation, it is a disease, a disease that needs to take medicine." Dai Guozi said seriously, "We even slept in the coffin, what else do you not understand." ”
"It's true that I don't have as clear and clear as you think, thank you for mentioning something today, which made me pause." Gu Changming listened to the fruit's words and was not rough, but he was reasonable. The other party seemed to be targeting him, making him unaware of it at the beginning to suspicious step by step.
According to the fruit, hear but do not hear, and see only not see. At that time, it should no longer be him who is anxious, at least not his unilateral restlessness, this method is real!
"Zhuxue, Zhuxue, is it you? How did you end up here? A young man walked out of the opposite shop, his eyes stayed on Liu Zhuxue's face, and he shouted out in a gaffe.
