Chapter 60: Whispering in the middle of the night

Gu Xiyan was in a bad mood, and it was inevitable that she was a little trance when she spoke and did things, everyone thought that she was worried about the two marriages, and she was cautious between her actions, and she looked at Gu Xiyan's face before speaking, which made the atmosphere in the whole Beyuan tense.

After dinner, Gu Xiyan went to bed early.

I wonder when that person will appear?

She couldn't sleep in bed, and she couldn't turn over casually, lest her injured ankle be more serious, she lay quietly on the bed and looked at the bright moonlight.

The moonlight gently spills into the room through the rustling branches, forming mottled shadows on the smooth bluestone floor tiles, swaying vividly. This reminded Gu Xiyan of a long time ago, when he and his grandmother were lying in the small attic of the alley, the shadows of those panes cast on the red wooden floor in the dead of night. She still remembers that at this time, she would always run to the window with her slippers on her slippers, looking up at the stars and praying that her father would suddenly appear the next day and take her away from this cramped space......

She stared at the shadow on the ground in a daze, and suddenly the silhouette of a man appeared in the mottled moon shadow.

Gu Xiyan's heart trembled.

What should have come is still coming.

The shadow tapped softly against her lattice.

Fortunately, I took away Xinghong who was on duty at night today, otherwise people would still think that the second girl of the Gu family would have a lover at night!

Gu Xiyan joked to herself and opened the window with a limp.

The guy jumped in with his ledge on the ledge, and his movements were as agile and graceful as a leopard.

No wonder you dare to throw me a piece of sawdust!

Gu Xiyan said: "Aren't you injured?" There was a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.

The man looked straight at Gu Xiyan, and there was a hint of gloom in his bright eyes.

Gu Xiyan was stunned in his heart.

Forget it, forget it. For the sake of his wife eloping with someone and he became a political prisoner again, I don't care about him.

Gu Xiyan said softly in a soft voice: "Since we are now grasshoppers on a rope, why don't we exchange names first to show our sincerity?" ”

The man looked at Gu Xiyan quietly and did not answer, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, diluting his cold temperament.

Never mind. The more you know, the more dangerous it is.

Gu Xiyan thought more energetically. Helplessly, he asked, "What about your letter?" ”

"My surname is Qi!" The man replied, "It's called Maosheng." ”

"Ahh Gu Xiyan was angry.

The man repeated: "My name is Qi Maosheng." ”

For a while, Gu Xiyan felt as if she had eaten assorted candy. Although the various flavors are intertwined, all are sweet. (Gentleman^)

Sure enough, it's a trustworthy guy, and he didn't lie to me!

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but slow down her voice: "Where is the letter going to be sent?" Is there a time limit? Do you want something like a token? As soon as she is in a good mood, her voice is as soft as a spring breeze, and her tone is as sweet as a good one. Qi Maosheng frowned slightly, as if he was preoccupied, and his bright eyes became a little trance. "I have a friend who lives in Tongzheng Fang...... You can just bring me a message to him, just say I'm alive...... As for the tokens...... "He pulled out a jade cylinder about six inches long and as thick as a thumb of a big finger from his sleeve," "This is one of my personal seals." It can be used as a token for the time being......" with obvious hesitation and uncertainty in his tone.

Gu Xiyan didn't pick up the piece of jade, her mind was spinning quickly.

Why did this guy change his mind and let her take the message?

There are pros and cons to this.

On the good side, if something happens to you, you still have room to maneuver, and on the other hand, you have to deliver the letter yourself.

Tongzheng Fang, there is the East Market, there is Chunming Gate on the left, if you want to go out of the city, there is the most convenient. In the blink of an eye, she thought of Zuo Xiaoyu's sharp eyes and the coldness when she ordered the killing of the citizens, and she couldn't help but shudder. Persuade Qi Maosheng: "You, is your friend reliable?" Don't be too risky, you only have one life...... If we really don't feel at ease, we might as well find another way to get out of the city...... I don't think there's no way to ......get out of the city."

Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xiyan in surprise. His gaze flashed like a comet starry across the sky, and in an instant, a piercing light flashed.

Gu Xiyan was stunned by the light. A little silly, he said, "I, did I say something wrong?" ”

Qi Maosheng was just silent.

Time. The room was quiet, and even the sound of the branches of the trees could be heard clearly.

After a long time, Qi Maosheng said in a low voice: "This time things are so passive, but I haven't figured it out yet, I don't know what the problem is......"

Gu Xiyan was stunned.

How can you talk to yourself about your heart!

Maybe it's because at this particular moment of unknown life and death that people have become weak!

These thoughts were only fleeting, and she remembered the TV "Infernal Affairs" and "Dark War" she had watched before, and with a thought in her mind, she tentatively said: "Could it be an internal problem...... It's all ...... exactly."

Under this half-bright and half-extinguished moonlight, Gu Xiyan saw Qi Maosheng's face change greatly. He said a little eagerly, "I need to go back early......"

Gu Xiyan bit her lower lip lightly and asked, "Do you have a high status in Yandi?" ”

Qi Mao was stunned.

Gu Xiyan explained: "I have someone available, and it has nothing to do with your circle...... It's just that if this person makes a move, the bait should be heavier......"

Qi Maosheng thought for a moment and said, "It's okay!" ”

Is this a form of self-humility?

Gu Xi's face became serious: "You tell me the truth, who are you?" ”

Qi Maosheng tilted his head and thought.

Gu Xiyan's heartstrings tightened.

How would he answer?

If he lies, what should he do?

Fortunately, Qi Maosheng didn't think for long, and soon, he said solemnly: "I am the second son of Yan Guogong." ”

Gu Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Maosheng didn't lie to her. Only with such an identity can he be worthy of the "world brother" of Shaoqing above, and worthy of a beauty like Ye Zisu who has both family strength and talent!

Standing for a long time made Gu Xiyan's ankle a little painful, she raised her chin and whispered to Qi Maosheng, "Let's sit down and talk." ”

Qi Maosheng looked left and right. Exquisite two-in-eight-step bed, nailed to a tall cabinet. The dressing table with mirrors on three sides is as smooth as a mirrored bluestone brick...... There is no place to sit.

Gu Xiyan had already turned around and limped to the edge of the bed, and only after she sat down did she find that Qi Maosheng was still standing in place. She patted the bedstrings. motioned for him to sit down beside him.

Qi Maosheng didn't move, his brows furrowed terribly.

Gu Xiyan didn't care about him, and asked directly, "How could you take this risk...... Do you have many brothers in your family? There is no ...... for the son of the world."

A trace of discomfort flashed between Qi Maosheng's eyebrows, and he paused, then walked to Gu Xiyan's side and stood still, and said, "What are you thinking nonsense about." ”

Since he didn't want to say it, Gu Xiyan didn't do much research. Her mind had turned to the question of how to send Qi Maosheng away.

She muttered: "I have a relative who is from the Liu family in Jiangnan...... They have a sale in Yandihuang and have been looking for a way, if you can help them, I am sure they must be very interested in your land......"

Qi Maosheng frowned slightly: "They are sellers." Can you believe it? ”

Gu Xiyan smiled: "Do you think it's very easy to be a seller?" In a century-old family like theirs, integrity is more important than anything else. ”

Qi Maosheng lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and said, "What has come to the point where things have been? ”

Gu Xiyan said: "I don't know the specifics, but I heard that I have started to sell my ancestral business, so it should be very bad!" If you agree, we'll talk about it again tomorrow...... The last time I went to Qixia to see the incense, their family borrowed a few bodyguards for me, and I looked like that. Well-trained, not a rabble who eat idle food......"

Qi Maosheng didn't seem to believe it too much, and retorted: "This can still mess up the business!" ”

Gu Xi's face froze, and he said coquettishly: "What do you know." The status of a businessman is low, if the business wants to be big. You have to rely on those feudal officials and even royal relatives. These so-called dignitaries do not regard them as partners for cooperation, but as subordinates or tools to make money. Whatever happened, it was all these businessmen who made a lot of money, but they deservedly wanted a big piece of the pie...... Do you think they're easy...... If you just do business, if you fail, you won't get to the point of smashing the pot and selling iron......"

For some reason, Qi Maosheng smiled shallowly, his bright eyes suddenly burst out with a brilliant light like a rainbow, and his cold face showed a few gentleness and kindness.

The expression of a man like a sword of a rock is so precious!

Gu Xiyan was like being killed by thunder, and she couldn't speak for a long time. For a while, her head was a nest of porridge, and she didn't know what she was going to say, so she looked at Qi Maosheng in a daze.

Qi Maosheng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed with pleasure, and he said softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"No, nothing." Gu Xiyan came to her senses, embarrassed, she looked flustered, her hands and feet were at a loss, and her voice suddenly raised an octave, appearing a little sharp, "What do you say?" Do you want to find them? ”

Qi Maosheng slowly retracted his smile and thought with a solemn face.

Gu Xiyan took the opportunity to defile Mr. Huang: "The bitch is ruthless, and the drama is unrighteous." How can you trust Mr. Huang anymore. I see the way you talk to him, you must be Pingshui, you don't know his details, you don't know why he saved you......"

Qi Maosheng turned his face sideways, and his shoulders shrugged.

"What's wrong with you!" Gu Xiyan knelt beside the bedstring and poked his head to see Qi Mao's expression.

Qi Maosheng was laughing silently.

Gu Xiyan was annoyed and ashamed: "What are you laughing at?" Am I caring about you? I'm afraid you'll be deceived! Do you know where you are now? Zuo Xiaoyu has laid a net waiting to receive you...... By the way, I forgot to ask you, do you still have accomplices......"

Qi Maosheng turned his head without shrugging his shoulders, there was still a smile in his dark eyes, and he replied: "You can help me contact the people of the Liu family!" ”

"Hmm!" Gu Xiyan didn't expect him to decide so quickly, but hesitated: "Do you want to think about it again?" ”

Qi Maosheng's eyes showed a faint sadness: "I have no time and no room to make better choices." ”
