Chapter 138: Turning Back to the Mountains and the Sea (8)

Out of the open building, they walked out of the corner gate along the verandah, and then walked more than ten meters south along the alley, stopping in front of a corner gate.

Siping opened the corner door with the key, and Qi Maosheng walked in with Gu Xiyan.

Outside is a spacious alley, with white walls and blue tiles, which is the alley that separates the east and west courtyards when she entered the Qi Mansion, and directly opposite the alley is the corner gate of Gongshun Courtyard.

Gu Xiyan was angry.

She also thought that this door had been closed since Aunt Shui's death, but she didn't expect that not only was it in use now, but Qi Maosheng could also use the keys to these two corner doors at will.

Siping walked in front and opened the corner door of Gongshun Courtyard, and then turned sideways to let Gu Xiyan and Qi Maosheng in.

Gu Xiyan hesitated slightly, but pulled Qi Maosheng to stop in front of the corner gate.

She knew that when she entered the Gongshun Courtyard, they would become "Miss Gu" and "Qi Hao", and the sweet intimacy just now would disappear, and it would be impossible for them to hold hands so intimately, she was very reluctant.

Qi Maosheng stopped with her, thinking that she was worried about what would happen when she returned to Huaiyuan. He looked at her with a smile, as if he was cheering her up, and comforted: "Don't worry! ”

Gu Xiyan bit her lip, took a deep breath, and said, "Sister Duan, Siping, you are waiting for us here!" After speaking, he pulled Qi Maosheng around a corner and entered the west-facing alley.

The wide door was tightly locked, and with a corner, it created a relatively hermetically sealed and secluded space.

Gu Xiyan stopped in front of Guangliang's door, and Qi Maosheng smiled: "Is there anything to tell me!" ”

Gu Xiyan shook his head, and hugged Qi Maosheng: "Maosheng." I just want to hug you. ”

Because we can't see each other for a long time, is Xiyan reluctant to him?

Qi Maosheng moved in front of Gu Xiyan's initiative and enthusiasm, and he hugged Gu Xiyan tightly.

In the dark, the two snuggled quietly for a while.

Gu Xiyan took a deep breath and let go: "Okay, Maosheng, when you are not at home, I also have the courage to face it!" ”

Qi Maosheng lingered for a long time before letting go.

The two walked back side by side, holding hands.

Gu Xiyan saw Mrs. Wei's methods and was very worried about Qi Maosheng's trip.

"You don't have to keep sending me back to Huaiyuan. That's it. In the inner courtyard of Qi Mansion, with Duan Yingluo on the side, I will not be in any danger. It's you, day and night, go back early to rest and rest......"

Qi Maosheng put his arm around her shoulder and kissed her sideburns affectionately: "I can't leave Hongtai for too long, and when I see Mrs. Wei, I may not be able to say goodbye to you......"

Gu Xiyan was surprised: "You, do you still want to see Mrs. Wei?" ”

Qi Maosheng started to be annoyed.

"Xiyan, I really don't understand sometimes that Mrs. Wei is comparable to a man in terms of skill, vision, and courage. But why do you do things that are not moral? I won't mention it before, so let's take the matter of Deshin Temple this time. Just because Yu Zhi performed well in the affairs of the Yanguo Mansion temporarily, she panicked in her heart, for fear that he would take away my title. I felt that I couldn't tolerate him anymore...... I'm not a seven- or eight-year-old child, and she thinks so much that I can't think of it. Why does she always meddle in my business...... She didn't want to think about how many people were left in our room now, and how many people were available around me. Oh, Yuzhi is doing well. Just kill him, Qi Xiao also performed very well, is it his turn to be next, and she can only rest assured that she will kill him too! Could it be that in her heart, I just let her go

Gu Xiyan was angry.

Qi Maosheng was not hateful or resentful about the role played by Mrs. Wei in the Dexinyuan incident, but complained, complaining that "Mrs. Wei always meddled in his affairs......

"Killed everyone. Could it be that he took the title back to Xizhao...... Yuzhi is who I am, my nephew. She didn't want to think about it, when she pointed one finger at him, she had four fingers at herself. hurt 300 people and hurt 1,000 yourself, does that make Yuzhi lose face? It was a slap in the face. Slap us in the face...... And she sat there all day and counted this and that land. Why can't she stop and stop and let me stay in Huaiyuan to practice her ghostly skills! The tone was angry and helpless. There is such a strong mother. Qi Maosheng only turned into a weak sigh in the end!

"Okay, just take 10,000 steps back and say, in addition to Yuzhi, you can't use such a simple and crude method! You can see what kind of situation she has found now, but anyone can guess that it was her hands and feet. ”

Gu Xiyan was stunned.

Mrs. Wei's method is still simple and crude, so, what kind of method is weird and delicate?

"But I think Mrs. Wei is very powerful," in Gu Xiyan's opinion, Mrs. Wei's hand in Dexin Courtyard can be called a conspiracy, she couldn't help but defend Mrs. Wei, "Look, even if someone suspects, they can only doubt it in their hearts, and they can't catch the handle!" ”

Qi Maosheng snorted coldly.

"The situation in the world is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen until the last minute. From the day the Qi family began to seek Gaochang, it was only a matter of time before we broke off with Xizhao. As long as I am given ten years, no, now that I have Gaochang, it will not even take ten years, we will be able to stand against Xizhao and live in half of the country. But now is a critical moment. In any case, the Qi family is still nominally a state government in Xizhao, according to the Mingdao agreement, we only have 3,000 guards, in order to solve the problem of troops, Yandi began to implement strict household registration management and military service system since my great-grandfather's generation. Between the ages of 12 and 18, boys must serve in the Northwest Battalion in order to achieve the goal of all-encompassing soldiers and solving the problem of insufficient troops. In the hands of my father, and he became friends with Gaochangguo, Qi Xiao's wife Zheng was born in the most prominent scholar family in Gaochang. Despite this, we were still badly injured in the first battle of Gaochang, and now we are only bluffing. can't withstand the use of troops by the court. If you are not careful, you may lose the whole game. Therefore, before the war is clear, whether it is for the political situation or for the future of Qijiadi, Yuzhi cannot move. Not only can he not move, but he also has to marry a famous girl from Xizhao as his wife, only in this way can Xizhao feel that there is still a gap in the Qi family to drill, and they still have someone available in the Qi family. With this line of hope, there are five monarchs in the north. There is the Duke of Shu in the northwest, and as a last resort, Xizhao is unwilling to fight with us on the battlefield, so we can buy time to recuperate and prepare to fight again. ”

Gu Xiyan understood.

In other words, because Yan Di has long had bad intentions, Qi Yuzhi, who has a Xizhao bloodline, has long become a chess piece in the game between Qi Maosheng and the court. When Yandi was unable to compete with Xizhao, Qi Maosheng gave Qi Yuzhi a noble identity and a prominent marriage to appease the Xizhao royal family; When Yandi had the ability to compete with Xizhao, Qi Maosheng's marriage became a hanging knife on his neck. And the weight of the negative knife is Qi Yuzhi's ambition. If Qi Yuzhi is obedient, no one can help him. If Qi Yuzhi has any ambitions, as long as Qi Maosheng adds a little weight to the line of the knife, for example, to create an incident of his fornication. Qi Yuzhi's political future is completely over, and he doesn't need to kill him at all, he can justifiably deprive him of his inheritance!

What can a noble son who has no inheritance do?

I'm afraid that I can only cling to the wings of the family and steal my life......

Of course, she didn't know about this "Qi Yuzhi's fornication". It happened five years ago!

Suddenly, she knew why she was so disgusted by what was happening in Dexin Courtyard.

Qi Maosheng is fighting wits and courage with others, fighting for their own wisdom, comparing their own judgment, and betting on Qi Yuzhi's loyalty to him. But Mrs. Wei is different, she is using other people's privacy to create a scandal to make this person stink, and she also directed an "attempted" criminal case in this matter...... It's completely a barbaric way of white knives in and red knives out!

Comparing the two, the high and low are immediate.

No wonder he criticized Madame Wei's methods for being simple and crude.

Qi Maosheng. Far more clever and powerful than she imagined.

Why did she think he was pitiful in the first place?

Gu Xiyan was embarrassed.

It's not too embarrassing to be deceived by this guy to come to Yongzhou!

Qi Maosheng has been the Duke of Yan Guo for too long, and his professional habits have made him not speak casually to express his opinions. But Gu Xiyan gave him a feeling that was too sweet, as if it was a close-fitting little padded jacket, which not only made him warm and reassured. There's also a sense of intimacy that only I know if it fits or not.

So when he realized what he had said. A slight chill began to run down my spine.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Gu Xiyan, but that he suddenly thought of many years ago. He insisted on going his own way, and used troops on the border of Gaochang to test the reaction of the court and Gaochang Kingdom, Ye Zisu's attitude. She once said behind her back that he was a murderer and an executioner. Thinking of Gu Xiyan again, she was so uneasy just because of what happened to Miss Wei in Dexin Courtyard...... He was secretly worried.

Gu Xiyan didn't think that his methods were too vicious!

I think at the beginning, didn't she refuse Zuo Xiaoyu's marriage because she thought Zuo Xiaoyu's methods of blocking civilians on the street were too vicious? Seriously, he didn't feel that Zuo Xiaoyu was at fault at all, and he could even say that if he were in Zuo Xiaoyu's position, he would make the same choice.

The difference between him and Zuo Xiaoyu is only that one was seen by Xi Yan and the other was not seen by Xi Yan.

But when he was a little uneasy and looked at Gu Xiyan's face, he was stunned.

Gu Xiyan's face was full of shock, his black and white eyes were as bright as jewels, and he pouted, as if he was very unconvinced: "Mao Sheng, I'm not stupid yet!" ”

"Ahh Qi Maosheng didn't know how to answer Gu Xiyan at all.

"You are so powerful, you must have deceived many people! I'm one of them, but I'm not the stupidest one! ”

Qi Maosheng felt as if his sideburns were starting to sweat.

Xiyan, how did he surprise every time.

However, it was much easier for him to accept than crying and blaming!

How did poor Qi Maosheng know that in Gu Xiyan's eyes, he was a politician who played politics, although he was dirty, but if he didn't play with the other party, there would be only a dead end.

Qi Maosheng's calculation is the basic condition for his survival in this world......

So in this matter, the two of them are like two parallel lines, each with their own direction.
