Chapter Twenty-Six: Between Father and Son
The little phoenix raised his anger twice, and only when he arrived at the gate of the palace did he ask out loud: "Brother Gu, you don't have to be angry, aren't I unharmed?" ”
Gu Changming stopped, he didn't turn his head, the little phoenix's calves trembled slightly, this person's aura opened, and probably even the emperor was unwilling to meet him head-on.
"I didn't understand why my father was discouraged in his official position when he was in his prime." Gu Changming didn't want to embarrass her, so he turned around and looked down at the little phoenix, "If something happens to you because you helped me, I can't escape the blame." ”
"Brother Gu, you are not an official in the court, what do you want to do?" The little phoenix tilted her head and smiled at him, "Those secret guards are very good, if someone really has an accident in the palace, I won't be worried." ”
The anger on Gu Changming's face slowly subsided, and Little Phoenix's words were good. If it weren't for her, if someone else showed signs of poisoning, he would definitely take precautions, although he would not kill people directly, and he would also use other methods to confine people.
"I'll talk about it later." Gu Changming reluctantly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, Mr. Dai should have arrived, but his father had no news.
The little phoenix was a little worried about a few secret guards: "Let us go like this, will the emperor punish them severely?" ”
"Redeem the merit for the crime, you see that Mr. Dai trespassed into the Criminal Division to rescue the fruit, and the emperor still left people by his side to do things." Gu Changming knew very well that these secret guards were the emperor's last line of defense, and they were indispensable.
"Brother Gu, did you say Master, have they arrived at the place?" At this time, there were many pedestrians on the street, and the horses couldn't go fast, the little phoenix asked in a low voice.
"It's faster, it should be about the same." Gu Changming wanted to know more about the situation at the border pass, when Sanqi left, he promised him that he would find a way to send a letter detailing the situation at the border pass, and all he needed was waiting time.
"So, where else is your dad going when he's not at home?" The little phoenix didn't dare to ask, the secret guards in the other courtyard were all killed by Gu Wuduo, and the emperor wouldn't be angry at all! "He's not going to investigate the case alone, is he?"
Gu Changming coughed lightly and said, "If my father is willing to participate in the investigation, the progress will be much faster." ”
When the little phoenix thought of Gu Wuduo, her body shook slightly, for some reason, compared with the two, Gu Wuduo made her more timid than the emperor, and it emanated from the depths of her heart, and it was difficult to restrain her.
As soon as Gu Changming arrived home, his subordinates immediately replied that the master was back, and waited for the eldest prince to go to the study to talk. He casually asked, "Which study?" ”
"Master's study." When the man answered, his face trembled. The Gu family's house rules, why did they make an exception today?
Gu Changming's eyes sank: "Phoenix, if Mr. Dai arrives, he will be guarding the fruit, you go over and tell them, no matter what happens, remember to stay still." ”
Little Phoenix only half understood: "Didn't you say that only he can enter your father's study, why did you call you over to talk today?" Brother Gu, I'll accompany you. ”
"Why, you can't even listen to me!" Gu Changming pushed her shoulder, and the little phoenix used her strength to exert her strength, and the whole person seemed to be a kite with a broken string flying out of her hand, and it took more than ten steps to barely stand still.
When she turned around to look, only Gu Changming's back disappeared behind the flowers, and it was in the direction of Gu Wuduo's study.
Gu Changming had a hunch that he had been waiting for the truth for too long, and the answer turned out to be right in front of him. Going around in circles, my father's study is the final destination.
He was still more than ten steps away from the study, and the door naturally opened, and Gu Wuduo paced out from inside, his expression light and breezy. The father and son are separated by this distance, as if they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
"Coming back?" There was a rare smile on the corner of Gu Wuduo's mouth, "How is it in the palace?" ”
"Isn't it supposed to be clear to my father?" Gu Changming's tense back naturally relaxed. It was no one else in front of him, but his father, whom he feared like God.
"Phoenix's health is not good, did you bring her back?" Gu Wuduo really didn't mean to let him into the study. I didn't see him move, and the door to the study slammed shut. There must be another world in it.
"How does Father know that Phoenix is not in good health?" Gu Changming didn't relax any doubts in the conversation, "She accidentally fainted in the palace. ”
"Changming, you have done a lot for the emperor. Phoenix is also your favorite woman, she had an accident in the palace, what is the emperor's reaction? Gu Wuduo's smile was even bigger, and then his eyes were cold to the bone, "Did he ask the imperial doctor to take a look, or take out the secret medicine in the palace to give her." These are nothing, the emperor has never been stingy with external things, because he does not lack these. ”
Gu Changming slowly alternated a few breaths, although his father did not enter the palace, if he saw this sentence of temptation, he would not be able to hide anything. He quickly dispelled this thought, why hide it, he did things above board, even in front of those secret guards.
"The emperor sent a secret guard to kill the phoenix to prevent future troubles." As soon as Gu Changming said it, what appeared in front of her eyes was the expression of the little phoenix as a matter of course, she said that Brother Gu, don't be angry, the plague can't spread in the palace, this is human nature.
Why is it so uncomfortable for people to have their own feelings?
"You must have protected her so that no one would hurt a hair of her, and then you brought her back?" Gu Changming took a step forward and carefully looked at his son under the lamp, "You didn't go to question the emperor in person, why did you do this?" ”
"To save most people." Gu Changming spit out this answer indifferently.
His reaction surprised Gu Wuduo: "You don't mind? ”
"Phoenix doesn't mind." Gu Changming replied seriously, "She said that if she had changed, she might have done the same." ”
"Unexpectedly, you like a ruthless woman." Gu Wuduo narrowed his eyes, a little dissatisfied with Gu Changming's attitude of planning to pass it through, "Changming, you are dedicated to doing things in exchange for such treatment, don't you have a trace of injustice in your heart?" ”
"Father, I didn't do this for the emperor, let alone for the sake of entering the ranks. The emperor is also a human being, and the emperor will also be afraid, isn't the Nine Emperors also crazy and died because of a similar Gu poison. The emperor knows all this, and naturally does not want to see the tragedy happen again. He is going to kill the little phoenix if he doesn't give him a chance, and I can't be indifferent. But Phoenix's words are good, if she really gets infected with the plague, what if there are so many people in the palace! Gu Changming prepared to hastily end the conversation between the father and son, and turned his back to leave.
"Changming, you stop!" Gu Wuduo scolded sharply.
"What else does Father want to say? Who did the phoenix pass through, was trapped, and accidentally fainted in the palace? Gu Changming's shoulders moved, "I don't know if my father has ever heard of the Nine Heavens Drum." The emperor said one thing, the old lady said one thing, I really want to hear what my father will say? ”
The people who were far away in the sky and close in front of him, Gu Changming ignored them.
Sun Youxiang is in the prison, why is he out of shape like that, the psychological defense of the iron wall, it will collapse when it is said that it will collapse, Gu Changming has thought about it many times, many different reasons, with Sun Youxiang committing suicide, all the clues were suddenly cut off and no longer existed.
He never thought that it was because Sun Youxiang had just been imprisoned in the prison, and his father was also sent to the prison because he offended the emperor, and the two were just a stone's throw away.
"Do you want to hear me say what's going on with the Nine Heavens Drum?" Gu Wuduo seemed to find this topic very interesting, and his interest was quite high, "I've been waiting for you to ask me, but you didn't ask." ”
Gu Changming was still hesitating, whether to turn around or not. I suddenly heard the voice of the little phoenix in my ears: "Brother Gu, get out of the way." ”
A sharp wind, no one knows better than Gu Changming what kind of weapon this is, the soft whip that his father carries with him, the Gu family is good at the way of softness and rigidity. He is also good at using the sword in his sleeve, but his father's soft whip is more domineering.
The little phoenix returned to the house and told Dai Liu about the situation in the palace, and his heart was not good enough, so he simply came out and wanted to talk to Gu Changming. As soon as he came from the corner, he saw Gu Wuduo's eyes revealing murderous intent, and the soft whip was like a dragon coming out of the water, hitting Gu Changming's vital point.
Gu Changming turned sideways to avoid it, and the soft whip seemed to have eyes, and he was inseparable. No matter how many of his body changes four or five, he is still clinging to his back, and at any moment he will have to roll people up, throw them into the air, and strike another killer blow.
The foot speed of the little phoenix is also extremely fast, and the two vertical leaps are about to reach Gu Changming. What's going on, how could the father and son fight! And this trick is definitely not so convenient as a general trick.
"Don't come here." Gu Changming was never worried about himself, "Phoenix, go back." ”
How can the little phoenix listen at this time, this is the Gu family, if something happens to Gu Changming, what will Gu Wuduo do to the three of them, they are powerless. She did not advance but retreated, and her figure had reached the point between father and son.
Gu Wuduo's wrist shook slightly, and the soft whip touched the waist of the little phoenix, and immediately rolled the person up, without waiting for the little phoenix to exclaim, the door of the study behind him opened, Gu Wuduo retreated in, the little phoenix was taken away by him, and the door slammed shut with a loud bang.
The fight that was still fighting for his life just now instantly regained calm. Only Gu Changming was left standing in place, and he needed to ease up before he was sure that his father had taken the little phoenix away.
He threw himself at the door of the study, and tried to push it open with both palms, but found that the two doors were so solid that he couldn't push them at all. He immediately pushed again with all his might, but the two doors still shook a little, and still failed to open.
How so!
Gu Changming looked down at his hands in horror, this scene was very similar to the scene at the last gate of Ajiu Mountain, but at that time, he still had a Dai Guo by his side, so he would not have to fight alone.
"Gu Changming, what's going on?" He thought it was because he was so anxious that he had auditory hallucinations. When I turned my head, I saw Dai Liu and the two standing there in a dignified manner, and they should have seen the scene of the father and son fighting just now, but they didn't have time to rush over to help.
No, others were powerless to help in such a situation.
"Father took the little phoenix." Gu Changming replied in a dumb voice.
"Then you're still stunned, go chase it!" Dai Guozi glanced at the study more, "Because of your family's family motto, you can't trespass into this study!" When is this going to be, if there is a case! ”
Liu Zhuxue grabbed his clothes behind his back a few times, it was Gu Changming's father, and he was Master Gu of the Former Criminal Division, even if he was displeased, he would not do anything to the little phoenix.
Dai Guozi waved her hand away regardless of it: "My eyes are good, he smiled when he grabbed the little phoenix, the little phoenix is in danger, Gu Changming, what do you think about Hu Min'er Minfei, the appearance of the little phoenix, oh my God!" ”
