Pei Yonglun hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his body, pointed to the graphic on it and showed it to Gu Changming: "I can't tell what it is, the general said that it was handed down from the ancestors, and it is very valuable." But the general didn't have time to go to Qi Kunmen to ask for it, so he really went to the door, and I am afraid that he would have exchanged the thief's stolen goods for silver. ”
"How did General Etona know that it was someone from Qi Kunmen?" Gu Changming's questioning directly picked the key points.
"At that time, the treasure was lost, and someone left a handwriting in the general's mansion, which said that Qi Kunmen made a move." Pei Yonglun always carefully hid such a crumpled piece of paper on his body, which showed that he was very thoughtful. His hand was empty, but it was the little phoenix who quickly pulled the paper away.
Pei Yonglun didn't prepare for her to make a move, and it was too late to grab it, so he walked towards the little phoenix with his teeth and claws, and was blocked between the two by Gu Changming intentionally or unintentionally. He was immediately annoyed: "I'm talking to you about serious things, what are you going to do!" ”
Gu Changming replied politely: "Let us accept this drawing, and we will try our best to retrieve the treasure for the general when we go back." ”
Pei Yonglun's face looked a little better: "Since the prince of Changming should do this, I don't need to guarantee too much, just do my best." Although it is a general's heirloom, it is still a foreign object, and if the price is too great, you can give it up. ”
"As soon as there is news, I will send a letter to the general's tent. Master Pei trusts us so much, we must do our best. Gu Changming glanced at the drawing, the shape of this drawing was very wonderful, and he didn't even see what it was with a pair of sharp eyes.
Pei Yonglun went to do other things, and he didn't have any suspicions. Gu Changming waited for someone to walk away, stretched out his hand towards the little phoenix, and motioned for her to take out the drawings: "Do you think it was done by Qi Kunmen?" ”
"It's hard to say, Qi Kunmen mostly chooses a silent process to do things. reported himself to his home like this, and the other party was the first military general in the DPRK, so he would make enemies for himself. However, it is certain that this treasure will fall into the hands of Qi Kunmen. The little phoenix thought about it a lot in a short period of time, "To catch a thief, you have to catch the stolen goods, since you want to pull Qi Kunmen into the water, how can you not let the treasure be sacrificed?" Perhaps the opponent underestimated General Yukei's tolerance, and the general really didn't pay attention to anything outside of his body. ”
"I've heard the name of General Eton many times, and I'm really interested in meeting this hero on the battlefield." Liu Zhuxue was also curious about the drawings, "I didn't see it clearly just now, what exactly was lost?" ”
The little phoenix had no reason to hide it in front of her own people, and took out the drawings again: "What are you all looking for?" ”
"I have a feeling that the general doesn't even know what it is!" Dai Guozi's head leaned over to look at it and retracted it, "I didn't see it anyway." ”
"He doesn't feel how precious it is, most of it is left by the elders of the family." Gu Changming turned the drawing direction and looked at it repeatedly, "Such a complicated pattern, also said to be a treasure, it should be a jade carving product." Phoenix, what do you think it is? ”
Seeing him ask himself cautiously, the little phoenix said with joy in his heart: "If you want me to say, the key is the most likely." ”
Dai Guozi held the drawing in his finger and shouted: "How did you see that such a fancy thing is the key?" ”
"Intuition." The little phoenix naturally saw the delicate carving and intricate patterns. But it is really hard to say what the specific objects carved refer to, "I came out of Qi Kunmen, and I have seen a lot of strange things." The keys and locks in the world may not be what you abide by, as long as they correspond to each other, there will be all kinds of possibilities. ”
She didn't say anything, she had seen someone take the drawing of her index finger and make a pattern when making a lock, and no one could open the lock except the finger herself.
"Although I promised to help find it, I didn't tell you all about the way out." Gu Changming knew that if he found this thing, he would be able to go further among General Heyujing in the future, and if he couldn't find it, no one would blame them. That's a good deal.
The excitement in the Ruchun Palace was non-stop, and in the midst of the lanterns, Pei Yonglun came over to take a few of them out of the palace: "Tomorrow, the three princesses will get married, and Liao Shengzong will wholeheartedly promote the peace and pro-family events, and after the previous accident, no one is allowed to stay except for the palace people." You stayed at the post house with me, and the good news came, and you immediately set off to return home. ”
Liu Zhuxue can stay, the third princess is reluctant to let her go, and she is even more reluctant to let a few people go and say goodbye to the third princess. The third princess sighed lightly and said: "There is no banquet in the world, if it weren't for the help of a few of you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived on the way to Beijing." I have prepared some small items for everyone to think about and talk about. If it's in your lifetime......"
The third princess's words were not finished after all, she was probably afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears, so she half-covered her face with a handkerchief and asked the palace maid to send off the guests on her behalf.
The group left the palace in silence, and when Liu Zhuxue walked to the gate of the palace, she suddenly stopped and looked back, and saw that the direction of Ruchun Palace was still brightly lit: "I was actually a little reluctant to go." ”
"The princess is always here, and we will come to Beijing again in the future, and we can inform us to enter the palace to meet the old man." Dai Guozi came over and took her hand, Liu Zhuxue's eyes fell, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked as if she was smiling. Compared with the golden branches and jade leaves of the third princess, she was a little lucky.
"Changming Gongzi, have the drawings been collected?" When he arrived at the door of the post station, Pei Yonglun asked coldly.
"Never forget." Gu Changming said very simply, the meaning is very clear, no matter how complex the pattern is, it will be imprinted in his mind, and it is okay if the drawings are lost. And it seems that General Yujing wanted to get the treasure back, and many of the same drawings were drawn.
On the second day, everyone spent peacefully in the post station. At dusk, someone from the palace brought two jars of good wine and left quietly. Gu Changming raised his hand to cover the wooden box next to the wine jar, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that this cup of wine could not be avoided.
The wooden box contained a night pearl the size of a baby's fist, and when Gu Changming opened the box, everyone was dumbfounded, and they couldn't tell what it was.
"The hush money given to us by the Liao Holy Sect." Gu Changming was roughly certain that he had seen Xiao Zheng for the last time in the secret passage, and finally let the Liao Shengzong know.
Xiao Zheng obviously knew a lot of information he wanted to get, but he refused to say it. With such a character, Gu Changming naturally disdains to ask again and again, the truth is always there, if no one explains, he is confident that he can still answer it.
It's just that Xiao Zheng said that someone wants to harm Gu Changming, half-truths and half-truths, Gu Changming wants to ignore it completely, the pimple in his heart has already remained, and he can't erase it in a short time. On the way back, he knocked Pei Yonglun several times, trying to dig out a part of his mouth.
Pei Yonglun didn't realize it, what he said was that General Yujing had sighed several times that Gu Wuduo had resigned and returned home in his prime, and asked Gu Changming if he was interested in joining the office, since he had some involvement with the general, the general might be able to find an opportunity to say a few kind words in front of the emperor.
This remark drew horizontal nose stares from the two beauties opposite, as if he had said the wrong thing from beginning to end. Pei Yonglun generally knew that in the eyes of the two beauties, Gu Changming's entry into the office only depended on whether he wanted to or not, and where he needed to be recommended by others. A kind intention became a chicken rib, Pei Yonglun felt bored, and did not mention it again in the subsequent journey.
Every time they arrived at a post station, news came from Beijing. First of all, Liao Shengzong realized the verbal promise, on the day of the wedding, the three princesses of the Song Dynasty were named Song Guifei, and the Ruchun Palace where she lived was renamed Yongle Palace, and the daily use was the same as that of the queen, and there was no need to go to the queen in front of the other concubines in the palace to visit the province in the morning and evening, eliminating all the complicated etiquette, and Yongle Palace became a small world of its own.
I don't know how the queen will react when she hears this holy decree, Song Guifei has become a special existence in the harem of the Liao Kingdom, although she is inferior to the queen in terms of title, but she is above the queen's authority. Liao Shengzong gave the Xiao family the most severe warning. Whether the queen gives birth to a prince or a princess a few months later, she may not become the next monarch.
The two countries of Song and Liao are peaceful, so for the emperors of the two countries, what is more needed is a successor with two lines of blood, not only to contain each other, but also to make an unbreakable blood oath.
"I thought that the third princess would be wronged, but now it seems that it is a blessing in disguise." Liu Zhuxue was really happy for the third princess, "The queen is jealous, and she doesn't dare to make any more moves, right?" ”
"Not only did I not dare to make a move, maybe I would have to send a few more people to protect Concubine Song." Gu Changming's mood was also good, "In the palace, how many pairs of eyes are looking at Song Guifei in Song and Liao. Whenever something goes wrong, the queen will always be the first suspect. Liao Shengzong can be regarded as throwing all the burden to the Xiao family. ”
A few days later, news came again that when Liao Shengzong was listening to the recital in the previous court, a courtier mentioned what Xiao Zheng had committed, which caused Liao Shengzong to be furious and directly dismissed more than ten officials from their official positions, six of whom were direct relatives of the Xiao family. The foundation of the Xiao family was seriously shaken, but no one dared to come forward to plead with the emperor.
"The Xiao family has a Xiao Zheng who dares to poison the Liao Shengzong and frame the princess, and I am afraid that he will only be able to be a man with his tail between his legs in the next few years." Dai Guozi has never looked at Xiao Zheng pleasing to the eye, knowing that he is going to go to the point of no return, and he still wants to provoke his Xiaozhu, which is really damned.
When Kaifeng Mansion was in front of him, Liao Shengzong hastily caught a major case of rebellion, involving no less than 300 people involved, and he was exiled for a while, which can be described as an iron-blooded policy, and he will never let anyone live or die.
Gu Changming was silent for a long time after reading the flying pigeon biography handed over by Pei Yonglun. Maybe this is Xiao Zheng's real purpose, even shaking the Xiao family is just a trick for the Liao Shengzong, the Xiao family sacrificed several children, but for the emperor to eradicate dissidents, and made great contributions, in other words, the Xiao family will only be more favored from now on.
"Is this three changes in a day?" Pei Yonglun can be regarded as watching a palace drama in a short period of time, if Liao Shengzong is an ocean, then the Xiao family is a big ship on the water, let the waves hit one after another, sometimes high, sometimes low, but it will never overturn.
Those who do not understand the reason, but they are killed by these waves on the shore, and there will never be a day.
On this day, Gu Changming knocked on the wall of the carriage and woke up the people in the carriage who had been traveling day and night to make up for sleep.
The little phoenix was fast, opened the tight curtain, and the sunlight blinded his eyes almost couldn't open, but he could clearly see the towering city wall in front of him, the disciplined city guards, and the two big characters written on the city wall: Kaifeng.
