Guo Qingwu got out of the tea shop and was helped by the old servant into the carriage waiting outside.

When he entered, he couldn't help but be stunned, suppressed the salutation that came to his lips, and waited for the carriage to leave the tea shop a stone's throw away, and then said softly: "The student is stupid, and the teacher is worried again." ”

Sitting in the carriage before him was a middle-aged scribe in a green shirt, who had an elegant appearance and three long flowing beards under his chin, and he especially looked very generous.

It's just that he has a very contemptuous attitude towards Guan Qingwu, the prince of Zhang Guo, who doesn't even dare to make a death move, from the time Guo Qingwu got on the car to the present, he didn't raise his eyelids, staring at a game of chess with a few games in front of him, and he didn't raise his head at this moment: "I said, for the sake of your nursing mother, I will teach you for a while, but the title of master and apprentice is exempt, and I have already vowed not to accept apprentices." ”

Qingwu took the handkerchief handed in by the old servant and wiped his face, before he said respectfully: "The teacher treats me like a mountain, even if the student is unbearable and unworthy of worshipping under the teacher, but the disciple's gift is deserved." ”

The middle-aged scribe said indifferently: "You must shout like this, at most I can't bear it, just leave!" ”

Guo Qingwu's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly smiled: "Since you don't want to, learn ...... How dare Qingwu be reluctant? I just don't know what to call you in the future? ”

"I call myself Leshan, you can call me Mr. Leshan like everyone else." The middle-aged scribe said lightly.

Guo Qingwu sighed in his heart.

This Mr. Leshan is unfathomable, and what is even more rare is resourcefulness and decision-since a few years ago when he went to the west to find relatives and was met by Guo Shihan, who simply launched a frenzied offensive in the hope of taking him for his own use.

It's a pity that this person doesn't eat hard and soft, and he is alone and arrogant, and Shi Han has tried all his means to win it. In the end, she relied on her good life to take care of his nursing mother, who had been a neighbor of Mr. Leshan's relatives, and helped him when he was poor.

Although it was said that the man was dead, but after Mr. Leshan knew, he still recognized this favor, and the nurse naturally obeyed the master's will and asked him to teach Guo Qingwu - of course, the Guo family made this request and hoped that he would not be able to envelop him for the time being, and after getting along for a long time, he might be able to return to his heart naturally.

Originally, Guo Qingwu was still very disgusted with his father's arrangement, after all, he had always had a grudge against Guo Shihan. But Mr. Leshan showed his hand casually a few times, and stopped him; There seemed to be an unintentional word in the middle, and it also woke up Guo Qingwu, so that he could see that his mother-in-law, the eldest princess Xingkang, was quietly controlling and calculating himself - and then Guan Qingwu also stuck to this teacher with all his heart.

It's a pity that he recognized Mr. Leshan as his teacher, but Mr. Leshan never let go of his confession and recognized him as an apprentice.

Judging from the fact that he was going to leave this time, he was serious, and he was definitely not raising his own value.

"After touching the nail today, then you use the excuse to recuperate from the injury, and you will try it until next year, so don't go out to join in the fun." While playing chess, Mr. Leshan said to himself, "What did the Empress Dowager Gu say, do you want me to teach you?" ”

Qingwu hurriedly said: "Mr. last time's teachings, Qingwu kept it in mind, and didn't dare to forget it." He hesitated and asked, "Just...... Today, Qingwu has suffered such a big loss, and it is inevitable that it will be used by the Queen Mother and others. Even if Qingwu asks for a big thing to be small, I'm afraid that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind will not stop, ......? ”

Mr. Leshan said casually: "That's why I asked Lao Zheng to do a low and small one to pick you up." ”

After saying this, he was silent, and Qing Wu knew that it was the school examination, so he groaned for a while, and asked tentatively: "Mr. is asking me to pretend to be cowardly, and this time I was scared by the Jiang family?" ”

"Ling Zun asked you to go to Beijing to take the exam, not to let you stay as a hostage." Mr. Leshan said lightly, "For your safety, he even agreed to let you Princess Shang Changping." Therefore, you must be in high school in one fell swoop in this exam, otherwise the Queen Mother will definitely leave you in Beijing for three years to prepare for the next subject. You should know the consequences better than I do! ”

At the instigation of the Empress Dowager Gu, the eldest princess of Xingkang was not an ordinary concern for the Zhenxi Army.

Although the position of commander of the Zhenxi Army cannot be hereditary, the default rules in the military world since the Da Rui Dingding have been followed, and father and son have a natural advantage one after another. For example, the former Ruan family and the king of Xihe are in the same lineage.

Guo Shihan has spent all his life on the Zhenxi Army, so he naturally hopes to pass on this inheritance to Guo Qingwu, instead of his princess wife and queen mother-in-law.

And Empress Dowager Gu can even be forced to become a puppet with her own son, let alone Qingwu, the titular grandson?

A touch of anxiety and heaviness flashed between Qingwu's young eyebrows, and he said softly: "Sir, please rest assured, Qingwu will definitely do his best to try!" ”

"I don't need to be reassured." Mr. Leshan said indifferently, "That's your future and not mine, what do I have to worry about!?" ”

Although what he said was not good, Guo Qingwu was not angry at all, and smiled, thinking to himself, sir, if you really don't worry about me, why do you bother to guide me so hard, and personally pick me up with Lao Zheng this time?

He has always felt that Mr. Leshan seems to be arrogant, but in fact, he is a knife-mouthed tofu heart.

Back at the Zhangguo Mansion, Mr. Leshan went to his yard, and after Lao Zheng parked the carriage in the backyard, he took the wound medicine to Kuang Qingwu.

Seeing that Guo Qingwu was covered with bruises after undressing, Lao Zheng watched him grow up, and he had always been spoiled as a junior in his selfish heart, and he couldn't help but feel distressed at this moment: "The Jiang family is so vicious!" ”

Guo Qingwu didn't take it seriously: "It's all flesh wounds, and Jiang Yashuang is very measured under his hands...... That's just right, there are people in the palace when I turn around, and I said that I don't want to join in any fun, and there is a reason. ”

Lao Zheng sighed and didn't say anything more.

After wiping the medicine, Lao Zheng packed up the medicine bottle and was about to retreat, but Qing Wu suddenly called him back: "Uncle Zheng, will you talk to me with you?" ”

"What is the prince going to say?" Lao Zheng was stunned.

Before Mr. Leshan arrived at Kuang's house, Lao Zheng was the most trusted person in Kuang Qingwu, far more than Zhang Guogong. At that time, Guo Qingwu often secretly confided in him his troubles and sorrows, although Lao Zheng only listened and did not speak every time, but it could also relieve the pain in the heart of the young man Guo Qingwu.

Since Mr. Leshan arrived, Lao Zheng hadn't heard Guan Qingwu's talk for a long time.

"Today, you also saw the appearance of Lord Ning Yi, don't you think she looks like a person?" Guo Qingwu looked at him, "It was when I was taken back to the Guo family that I once ran to that person's study to rummage through things and found a painting...... Although the subtleties are different, the silhouette is at least 90% like it, isn't it? ”

Lao Zheng sighed: "That's all in the past, the master hurts you the most now, why do you mention it again?" Guo Qingwu is rarely willing to call Guo Shihan "father", and generally uses "that person" as a substitute, which shows how deep the gap between father and son is.

"Is that really Princess Ruan?" Guo Qingwu muttered, "That person was lonely and helpless when he was young, and it was General Ruan who adopted and cultivated him to get to where he is today, so he and Princess Ruan's childhood sweetheart had feelings for him, but General Ruan didn't look down on his background, and gave Princess Ruan to Qiu Zhongyan...... That person was unwilling, colluded with the Queen Mother to kill the descendants of General Ruan, and killed Qiu Zhongyan with his own hands...... I remember when I was seven years old, a subordinate who had been executed by him shouted before his execution......"

He looked at Lao Zheng, "But why did Qiu Zhongyan die, I came to Beijing to inquire about Princess Ruan's mother and daughter, and they all said that they had a very difficult time." It wasn't until Qiu Jinglan entered Beijing under the pseudonym Ruan Qingyan three years ago that she gradually got better...... But Princess Nguyen died before the mother and son were reunited! Since that person loved Princess Ruan, he didn't take me back until Princess Ruan left the cabinet, and even killed Princess Ruan's husband with his own hands - to such a point, but he sat back and watched Princess Ruan die?! Does he have a heart?! ”

Lao Zheng was silent for a while, and said: "After Qiu Zhongyan died, the old man once sent someone to convey the intention of asking for marriage to Princess Ruan. But Princess Ruan said that she was born into the Qiu family and died as a ghost of the Qiu family. And also said that if the county lord of Ningyi has any mistakes, she will never live alone! In fact, this is also the reason why the county lord of Ning Yi has lived until now despite being harsh, otherwise Qiu Mengmin's mother and son hate the bloodline of Concubine Lian very much, even if the county lord of Ning Yi is just a woman, how can the Lu clan tolerate it?! ”

Guo Qingwu sneered: "Said strongly! Then why didn't you look down on that person in the first place? His biological mother gave birth to him because of the spring breeze, for the sake of fame, hiding from Guo Shihan, which made Guo Shihan, who was bent on marrying Princess Ruan, furious and cut off her head with her own hands.

Even his foreign family was affected, and several uncles and cousins were deliberately arranged by Shi Shi Han to die on the battlefield.

Besides, Qingwu hated Princess Ruan from the bottom of his heart, he felt that if it weren't for this woman's repeated and jealousy, he wouldn't have been exiled for so many years, how could his biological mother and his family be treated like that by Guo Shihan?

However, Lao Zheng's eyes showed a sad color: "Qiu Zhongyan is also a childhood sweetheart with Princess Ruan. ”

"......" Guo Qingwu was stunned, thought for a long time, and then said, "You mean, it has always been that person's wishful thinking?" He always thought that although General Ruan had raised and cultivated Shi Shihan, he didn't look down on him as a son-in-law.

"The old slave persuaded the old man back then, but the old man's love is deep-rooted, although he knows that Princess Ruan and Qiu Zhongyan have already made a promise to each other, but it is always difficult to let go." Lao Zheng sighed deeply, "Over the years, the master has never returned to Beijing to take up his post, and it is also because he does not dare to see Princess Ruan again...... In fact, the master regretted it a few years after killing Qiu Zhongyan, and now the master is still alive, just for you. If it weren't for you, sir, he would ...... It's long gone! ”

Guo Qingwu didn't appreciate it, and said with a sneer: "Isn't it boring?" Princess Nguyen died three years ago! ”

Lao Zheng said softly: "The master was sorry for you back then, but he really only has you now." ”

After hesitating, he said, "If the master is here, I won't let you suffer today's grievances no matter what!" Even if this idea was made by Mr. Leshan, who is most respected by the master! ”

Guo Qingwu said lightly: "You have been following me, don't you know what the eldest princess of Xingkang did to me?!" If I hadn't been an only child, she would have killed me, wouldn't she? Did that person mention it to me? Without waiting for Lao Zheng to answer, he sneered again, "If I weren't an only son, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to have a surname now, right?!" ”

"Alas!" Lao Zheng sighed and said, "The lord should have said it in order to sharpen the world, and besides, what the eldest princess of Xingkang did was under the control of the lord, and it was impossible to hurt your life...... Over the years, the old man has often said that he knew today why he had to do it at the beginning, and the old slave only begged the son of the world not to say such things in the future. ”

Guo Qingwu sneered: "He has done a lot of bad things in his life, do you think that you can get over it by just saying a few words?" ”

Lao Zheng knew that his resentment against Guo Shihan came from the grievances he suffered when he was adrift when he was a child, and the scars of not being taken seriously and being oppressed after returning to his home for the first time, which had long been deep-rooted, and his persuasion at the moment was fruitless, and he didn't feel how disappointed he was, so he only stood up slowly: "The son of the world has no orders from the side, the old slave goes down first?" ”

“…… You find a few reliable people and show me the whereabouts of the county lord of Ningyi!" Guo Qingwu was silent, and when he walked to the door of the room, he suddenly commanded.

Seeing Lao Zheng look at him in surprise, he coughed unnaturally, "Don't let Mr. Leshan know, lest Mr. misunderstand me...... Addicted to beauty ......"

Lao Zheng was surprised: "But, why do you want to pay attention to her?!" ”

Qingwu was silent, Lao Zheng looked at him for a long time, and sighed: "The old slave obeys!" ”
