Little Phoenix's gaze was very calm: "The old nest of Qi Kun Sect was originally in the territory of Western Xia, otherwise how many people would the master of the sect have offended in the drill camp over the years." Among them, there are martial arts masters and officials in the court, why is Qi Kunmen always helpless, just because this is enough. ”
Gu Changming said that he was not surprised, he wholeheartedly promised to take the little phoenix back to make a final explanation, and he never thought that it was Xixia who was going to go. On second thought, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. It sounds like the disciples of Qi Kun Sect are acting everywhere, and there are always people who miss, why hasn't anyone revealed the location of the old nest?
I'm afraid that the people who can know this secret are not ordinary people, and these people have Gu worms planted by the sect master in their bodies. The pain of Gu worms is better than all torture tools, even if they are caught, it is better to die than to reveal the news in the door.
Except for the little phoenix who went to the southwest border once, although he suffered all the hardships and was covered with bruises, he was also blessed by misfortune. The Gu Mother's magical powers devoured all the remaining Gu poison in her body, and it was no longer possible for the Sect Master to control her mind.
There is more than one kind of Gu worm in Qi Kun Sect, and there is more than one kind of Gu worm on the little phoenix. Gu Changming's eyes gradually softened, no matter how much it was, the person in front of him would not forget him anymore, and he would tell her slowly when he had the opportunity.
Little Phoenix was actually still nervous in her heart, for fear that Gu Changming would suspect her. She is not afraid of crooked shadows, but unfortunately her path has always been on the side. Others can distrust her, but Gu Changming can't. If Qi Kun Gate was a quagmire swamp, then Gu Changming was the only point of light in the sludge that could make her eyes see.
Gu Changming's fingers lightly touched the top of her head: "There are some things, you forgot." Some things are remembered so clearly. ”
The voice was like a gurgling spring water, flowing into the little phoenix's heart, making her smile like a flower: "That's a Gu worm, no matter how small the things I have with you, I have never forgotten." I'll keep it in my mind. ”
"So my promise still has to be fulfilled, don't say it's in Xixia. Even if it is in the sky and in the Moon Palace, it will not go back. Gu Changming wanted to try to let the little phoenix remember it on her own, instead of forcibly instilling her own memory.
The twisted melon is not sweet, his character is destined to be stubborn, and it is also his principle of being a person.
"I wanted to say, that hellish place, none of us will go any better." The little phoenix was comfortably stroked by his fingers, and his eyes narrowed slightly, like a cat lazy in the sun, "But with you on this trip, what am I afraid of." ”
"Would you like to wait a little longer?" Gu Changming didn't tell Dai Guozi, he had already set up the door and waited for news at the city gate. As soon as the person escorting Sun Youxiang arrives, he will immediately send a message to the Gu Mansion.
"You're trying to save Master Sun." Little Phoenix had no other choice in mind. Master Sun was a testimony to their acquaintance, and if she hadn't affirmed that this person was a good and honest official, it would have been a little unbearable to drag him to death. Then there were not so many things that happened later, "Lord Sun is in a hurry, even if you don't say it, I choose to stay and save people." ”
"It's not clear what the charges are, and that's the headache." Gu Changming knew that the little phoenix lacked Sun Youxiang's favor. At the beginning, she had good intentions, but Sun Youxiang rewarded her by not including her in the case. First, the origin of the gold was unknown, and she didn't want to be high-profile, and secondly, she dared to violate the door rules for an official she had never met, and Sun Youxiang never filed a case at all.
There are no cases, where are the suspects. Little Phoenix recovered from his injuries in Quyang County and rushed directly to Kaifeng Mansion to meet them. Even if he wasn't arrested for stealing official silver, Sun Youxiang wanted to put Little Phoenix in prison, and there could be dozens of different means and methods, but he didn't do anything.
Little Phoenix felt guilty when she learned that she had even resigned for this matter. If Sun Youxiang can be allowed to survive peacefully this time, then the unbreakable knot in her heart should be able to loosen.
"Little Hulu also went to inquire, but there was no news at all." The little phoenix sighed and said, "The fruit must be in a hurry, and it is not convenient for me to come forward to persuade me." ”
Although Dai Guozi was persuaded by Liu Zhuxue, he still had a little bit of a problem with the little phoenix in his heart. At this time, the little phoenix chose to stay as far away as possible, so as not to provoke the fruit.
"We can only wait." Gu Changming waited for three whole days for this sentence. When it was time for the emperor to agree, Sun Youxiang never even saw a figure.
Dai Guozi came to ask once a day, and he also came twice during the period of the little gourd, but he found nothing. Gu Changming said with relief: "The place where Master Sun chose to settle is still hundreds of miles away from Quyang County. If you are escorted, you will not be on horseback, and if it is a stop-and-go, it will take a lot of time. Rather than being unprepared when someone arrives, it is better to spend more time on the road, we should be more prepared. ”
Dai Guozi was far more worried than his godfather: "I said that since the emperor promised Xiaozhu, he will not ask about the past in the future." So what else is she doing in the palace, and what topics can be talked about hotly? ”
Gu Changming heard what he said angry, and hurriedly asked people to stop: "The emperor is always the emperor, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, you must speak in a good way, and you should know the truth that trouble comes from your mouth." ”
"I asked her if she could not go." Dai Guozi's shouting was not confident enough, and seeing Gu Changming's expression that seemed to be smiling, he hurriedly explained from the beginning, "Don't look at me like this, I'm not a jealous person." Besides, the other party is the emperor, and Xiaozhu doesn't have that heart, I just think that Xiaozhu doesn't like to enter the palace, and every time he forces himself, he is really wronged. ”
"Then Miss Liu doesn't have to go." Gu Changming actually agreed.
Dai Guozi thought that he would be reprimanded for being ignorant, but when Gu Changming did not object, he was a little unaccustomed to it: "I'm not joking, don't make trouble with me." ”
"I'm not joking, Miss Liu got what she wanted, you don't have to follow her into the palace, I'll just go alone." Gu Changming didn't think that the idea of the fruit was wrong, if the emperor didn't have a good impression of Liu Zhuxue, he wouldn't open this mouth at all.
The emperor is on a whim, and there must be something important to discuss. If the two of them go together obediently, it will be awkward for the emperor to say anything, but it will be counterproductive.
Liu Zhuxue heard Gu Changming's promise, and immediately put her mind at ease: "Then Brother Gu will also go early and return early, in case there is news of Lord Sun, I will be able to discuss with you in time." You've always been the backbone of us, and if you're not there, we're afraid we won't be able to make a decision. ”
"I try." Gu Changming rode on the snow and walked leisurely in the direction of the palace.
Liu Zhuxue saw that although the little phoenix appeared, she never spoke. As soon as Gu Changming left here, Dai Guozi found that there was such a person deliberately standing there to be an eyesore, and he didn't want to greet him.
The little phoenix had no intention of accepting the offer at all, and without waiting for Dai Guozi to take seven or eight steps in front of her, she turned her head and left. People who are good at light work are in the house, they are also light and dexterous, and when they blink their eyes, they can catch up.
"She, what does she mean by that!" Dai Guozi looked at Liu Zhuxue very aggrievedly, he was no longer ready to trouble the little phoenix. No matter how you look at the posture, he is the one who is disgusted.
"Little Phoenix must be in a hurry, Lord Sun rescues her, so that she can wash her away. Otherwise, everyone will look up under one roof and not see anyone looking down. I think she is hiding well, you go to her, don't say a word and pinch again. I won't show mercy to your men then. Liu Zhuxue's fist was pressed against the corner of her lips, and she whispered, "When you go back and wait for the matter to be resolved, you should have a good time with Little Phoenix!" ”
Gu Changming put Liu Zhuxue in the mansion, as if he had taken a reassuring pill. Dai Guozi is almost obedient to him, and Liu Zhuxue is a person with a good temperament, no matter how doubtful Guozi is, he will not stiffen.
When he arrived at the palace gate, it was the little father-in-law who led the way, and seemed to look behind him to make sure that he was coming alone, and there were still no extra words.
Gu Changming originally thought about how the emperor had changed to such a young eunuch to serve, but after two contacts, he understood a little. Sensible people don't have to be older, this one has a good grasp of the proportions of dealing with people, and the most important thing is that all the words that shouldn't be said are swallowed in the stomach, and there is no response.
Instead, Song Renzong asked directly: "Why is there only one here, is the little girl sick or tired?" ”
"The emperor gave her a promise, and she was happy in her heart, and she didn't have to bother anymore." Gu Changming's reason was very good, "The emperor asked her to come to the palace again to make her feel more relieved, she is already sensible and will not cause trouble to others." ”
Song Renzong was originally somewhat dissatisfied, but when he heard Gu Changming's words, he couldn't help laughing: "I used to say that Gu Wuduo's son was better than his father with a cold face and a cold heart. What you just heard in the few sentences, your father would never have said when he was in court. In my impression, he has always been the same, leaving no room for error, even for me. I am always angry and loving to this Gu Aiqing, and I am speechless aggrieved. ”
"My father served in the Criminal Division, if it weren't for that, it would inevitably be biased in the trial over time. Since I was a child, I have been walking around inside and outside the Criminal Division, and I have never seen any of them laugh and talk when they are on duty. Gu Changming said eloquently, "Therefore, the emperor asked why the grass people did not join the ranks." Just because the grass people are self-aware, they can't do it. ”
"Why can't you be competent, if the government can't solve the case, you can solve it if you take over." Song Renzong had a good impression of him, and he couldn't bear to say a heavy word.
"Solving a case is not the same as being an official, and the grass people want to continue to hone for a few years. If one day the grass people feel that their heart can become an official, they must tell the emperor in person. Gu Changming heard that the emperor would no longer pursue Liu Zhuxue's matter, and he wanted to continue to ask, what was the three-day agreement?
"Last time I heard you say that there was a very powerful Song person by the side of the Liao Holy Sect who gave him advice. I want to ask you, do you know what happened in the Liao Kingdom during the days when you came back all the way, and how many great things did the Liao Holy Sect do? As soon as Song Renzong raised his hand, he motioned for Gu Changming, who was standing straight, to sit down not far away.
Obviously, the formal topic has just opened, and the emperor is ready to have a long talk with him.
"Master Pei has received two flying pigeon heralds, saying that Xiao Zheng, the privy envoy who committed the crime, is just a bureau of conspiration between Liao Shengzong and the Xiao family. The purpose of using a character with a head and a face like Xiao Zheng is to make the play more real and more like, when the other party completely relaxed his vigilance, Liao Shengzong was already waiting for the master, waiting for a knife to fall in front. Gu Changming didn't say that the person who saved him in the secret passage might be his father.
"One change of law, one purge, forty-seven officials in the DPRK were investigated." Song Renzong slowly opened the roll of parchment in front of him, "The Xiao family has lost more than forty percent, if it is just acting, the price is really great." ”
