Liu Zhuxue herself is a disciple of the Emei faction, and she never expected that the tricks that Little Phoenix had learned were more complete than her, although the posture of the moves was a little different, she could still see that the foundation was the same.

She wanted to ask where the little phoenix was from, looking at his usual martial arts, in addition to his light skills, the others were also messy. People are kind enough to help, but if she blindly asks, she will be suspicious.

The little phoenix took the handkerchief handed over by Liu Zhuxue and wiped the thin sweat from the corner of her forehead: "Are there any other maids around the third princess, or is it only you who can do martial arts?" ”

"I don't know at all, I'm afraid Brother Gu will be able to tell the answer." Liu Zhuxue's body did not fully recover, she was sweating, and she was very unaccustomed to it.

"Xiaozhu will rest first, and these things will naturally be clear when the time comes. The emperor wants to marry a princess, why do we irrelevant people not only have to contribute, but also bother. Dai Guozi had dozens of reasons in his heart not wanting to go to Liaoguo, and when Liu Zhuxue heard his voice and looked back and smiled, the smoke disappeared.

"The emperor didn't say that he would do day work, it's much better than being chased and killed by my peers in Qikunmen all these years with no hands." The little phoenix pondered not to say anything depressing before leaving, otherwise there would be no knowledge of how many difficulties there would be on the road. If you are a maid casually, and you don't need to serve tea and water, can the emperor get Gu Changming to the palace to talk for a long time?

Gu Changming looked at it meaningfully, the little phoenix has always been keen, and he thinks slightly more than others. There are some things that the emperor has never said clearly, but he knows it in his heart. If the third princess has an accident or fails in the marriage matter, those maids who accompany the marriage, the guards in charge of guarding, and even he and Liu Zhuxue will be inseparable.

Probably the only ones who can be saved are the little phoenix and Dai Guozi who are not on the list.

Gu Changming had no intention of retreating, even the murderer could face it without blinking, how could he be afraid!

Su Xu went and came, this time with an extremely cautious expression: "Gu Changming, I heard some news, this task is not easy to do." It was I who didn't think about it, and I hurt you. ”

Gu Changming patted him on the shoulder and slapped half of Su Xu crookedly: "Wealth is in danger, if it's a trivial matter, why do you need me to take action?" ”

Su Xu knew that he was the most low-key and introverted in his daily speech, and his heart trembled and his blood boiled when he said something today, so he couldn't help but touch him on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "I always look at you differently than before, do you have someone in your heart?" ”

There are two young women living in the Gu family now, although Su Xu has never had a family, he has never eaten pork and has never seen a pig run! One of the two must be the woman Gu Changming likes.

"Yes, when my father comes back, I will let my father be the master of marriage." Gu Changming didn't mean to avoid it at all, "Don't look at people like this, when you meet someone you like, you may be more anxious than me." ”

"Has the teacher been away from home for a long time?" Su Xu didn't know why, he was obviously talking about Gu Changming's lifelong event, but his heart beat faster, the back of his ears was hot, and he hurriedly wanted to open the topic.

"My father is not in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty." This is the news revealed by the Queen Mother, Gu Changming will not believe it all, nor will he not believe it.

"The teacher has already resigned and is at home, why do you still go to another country, and it seems that you don't know?" Su Xu has always been in awe of Gu Wuduo's teacher, and if it weren't for today's topic, he wouldn't dare to take the initiative to ask.

"The mission is the same, just like me." Gu Changming saw Liu Zhuxue coming from the opposite side, "Su Xu, she wants to go with me and be a maid beside the third princess." How much do you know about the third princess, you can explain it to her, so that it can be easier for her to act. ”

Su Xu also wanted to further ask the teacher what task he was doing, and then he thought about it, what is the identity of the teacher, since he said that it is a task, who is the person who can assign him, the answer is self-evident. This kind of task is that the family and parents are not allowed to disclose, he is just a nominal protΓ©gΓ©, and he really shouldn't ask more.

Liu Zhuxue came out with a change of clothes, her eyes were bright, her skin was snowy, and the dagger she brought by Su Xu was still in her hand.

"Use, can you still use it?" Su Xu's mind jumped back to the previous topic, this woman is dignified and beautiful, and she looks like a good match with Gu Changming, plus Gu Changming is very protective of her, it should be her.

Liu Zhuxue stopped and realized that he was asking about the dagger, so he nodded and said, "I use a sword on weekdays, and the dagger must be practiced more." ”

"Staying by the side of the third princess, she is already very conspicuous with weapons. This is to act outside the palace to make an exception, so after thinking about it, I chose a dagger, which is easy to hide. Su Xu didn't know martial arts, seeing Liu Zhuxue's wrist flying dexterously, the dagger seemed to be alive, and it emitted silver flowers, "Let me talk about the situation of the third princess." ”

The biological mother of the third princess did not have a high status and died early, so the third princess was handed over to the queen to raise. The queen has a strict temperament, and she is more unsmiling than the emperor on weekdays, and she has more rules in front of the queen than anywhere else. The third princess has a cowardly personality and has been trembling all these years, but fortunately she has not made any mistakes.

The matter of peace with the Liao State, although it is nominally to marry the princess, if the emperor is reluctant to give up his daughter, he can choose a young woman of the right age and appearance among the clansmen, and it is the same for the princess title to marry out.

"I don't know where the third princess heard the news this time, and she actually took the initiative to ask the emperor for help, expressing her willingness to marry far away." Su Xu seemed to be a little puzzled, "If you want me to say that life in the palace is much better than going to Liao alone, even if the biological mother is not there, the emperor will not treat his own daughter badly, and sooner or later he will arrange a good marriage." What the hell is she anxious about? ”

Speaking of this, Su Xu found that he was talking too much, so he quickly closed his mouth and said the general rules of the princess's maid. Since the emperor opened Chrysostom, indicating that he didn't need Liu Zhuxue to be too obsessed with this, he just took a mouthful to keep her from going wrong on big occasions.

"The maid's costume will be delivered tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will depart." This is the last message brought by Su Xu.

Waiting for Su Xu to leave, the little phoenix didn't say anything else, but first went to prepare for the departure, and by the way, sent back the little gourd who had been injured seventy or eighty percent.

When Xiao Hulu heard that they were going to Liao, he was a little greedy, and said that he wanted to follow him over to see the customs and customs over there.

Little Phoenix didn't agree, but Gu Changming turned his head and asked, "Do you really want to go?" ”

"It's true!" Xiao Hulu could hear that Gu Changming was relieved, is this willing to have one more person?

"The day after tomorrow, you take care of your own affairs, bring a change of clothes, and follow along. We are not personal guards, there are hundreds of people in the family sending team, no more than you, no less than you. Gu Changming had other plans in his heart, the four of them left Kaifeng Mansion, and Xiao Hulu was left alone. In case Qi Kunmen plays some tricks and sends people over to find the little phoenix, he will take the small gourd to vent his anger, and when the time comes, they will not have time to come back to save people when they put on their wings.

And the appearance of the little gourd, unless it is an acquaintance, it is impossible to tell that it is an adult at all. It can also be regarded as a dark trick, which is easy to call.

Gu Chang told him a few words in detail, so that he must return to Gu's house before dark tomorrow, otherwise he would not have time to go with him, and he would not be able to blame others.

The little gourd's waist is straight, and he doesn't need the little phoenix to send him off, and he leaves with a flying stride.

The little phoenix shook her head amusefully and angrily: "You're not afraid of taking him with a trouble?" ”

"He's a problem for the opponent." Gu Changming retracted his gaze, "When the time comes, you can change your clothes and dress up as a teenager, and it will be more convenient to act." ”

"Why do you want her to dress as a man again?" Liu Zhuxue asked curiously.

"The few women in the send-off brigade are all by the princess's side, and it is not easy for women to dress as men to attract the attention of others." Gu Changming believed that the emperor's instructions and Su Xu's arrangement would give them the most suitable position.

Early the next morning, the palace sent a brocade box again, which contained the maid's dress and two small brocade bags. Gu Changming didn't touch the dress, but poured the contents of the bag into the palm of his hand and looked at it, and put it back as it was.

Liu Zhuxue changed her clothes and came out, and a small sedan chair in the palace picked people up.

Dai Guozi was uneasy and sent all the way to the gate of the hospital, and his eyes were still reluctant: "Why do you take her away alone first, are you sure that it will be fine?" ”

"I'm sure." Gu Changming almost didn't think about it, if he did it in Kaifeng Mansion, it would become a joke. For the emperor, his daughter can change one anytime and anywhere, but the other party was startled, and even exposed his own details. "If you believe me, everyone will be safe before leaving the Great Song border."

"You mean, the person the emperor is taboo is someone in the palace......" Dai Guozi was smart and didn't finish his words, although the Gu family was very safe. A while ago, Situ An also sent more than a dozen people, under the name of protection, to defend them outside. God knows if there will be ears on the wall, "Let's go inside." ”

"Before leaving the border of the Great Song Dynasty, the number of people in the family sending team was relatively complete. Once it enters the Liao State, it will be streamlined again. Otherwise, such a huge procession to the Liao country, in case of an ambush, the Liao people will not be able to bear it. Gu Changming analyzed the truth to Guozi.

After streamlining, there will probably only be thirty or forty people left in the team, plus those of the Liao envoys. At that time, the scope of suspicion will be narrowed again, and the best plan is for them to conduct early observations, lock the target in advance, and stop it before they take action.

"You're saying the killer will lurk in the send-off procession?" Dai Guozi also imagined that the killer would strike one night, when the defense was weak.

"What is the emperor's purpose for us to go together?" Gu Changming raised his lips and smiled, "Guozi, learn smarter, learn Liaoguo dialect on the way, and it will be of great use when the time comes." ”

"When I saw the man surnamed Su, I thought it was quite hateful. Your smile is the most hateful! Dai Guozi thought that he was used to Gu Changming's strategizing posture, and he almost jumped up on the spot at this time, "I can explain first, if Xiaozhu is in danger, I don't dare to do anything about the third princess and the fifth princess, I must make sure that she is safe first." ”

"I agree with this point, and there is nothing wrong with that." Gu Changming's hand shook for a moment, and the sword in his sleeve struck, coldly attacking the faΓ§ade of the fruit.

Dai Guozi was frightened a lot, and his body instinctively reflexed, and he took out the ruler between his eyebrows and blocked it at the vital point. Gu Changming's tricks were useless at all, and he collected the sword in his sleeve with a blow, and Dai Guozi flickered in front of him, seeing that he had put his hands behind his back, and walked in another direction with a leisurely step.

"Try your adaptability, their martial arts have broken through, you can't be at the bottom." Gu Changming said loudly from around the corner.

"Gu Changming, you're too much!" Dai Guozi looked down at the ruler between his eyebrows in his hand, and realized that he had been tricked, and he was so angry that he almost smoked, "I'm not done with you!" ”
