Gu Changqing's conversation with that strange man still ended unhappily, and it could even be said that it was a kind of resistance to human instinct exuded by that strange man.

Although the two talked a lot, what made Gu Changqing feel most strange was still this woman's gentleman.

Yan Mu and Gu Changqing stayed outside for a whole day, and when they returned to the Guan family, most of them had already slept, only Jiancheng and Chen Gang were still at the door, one by one with their misty eyes open and refused to compromise with Zhou Gong.

As soon as Gu Changqing's figure appeared, the two of them quickly stood up, and complained bluntly, "What are you doing, my lord, I didn't come back until midnight!" ”

Gu Changqing smiled euphemistically, "What happened to the two of you to investigate?" ”

In the morning, Gu Changqing and Yan Mu deliberately explained to the two of them before leaving, although Guan Shan said that the headless corpse that was made into a scarecrow was the man, but in this case, he couldn't believe it all without doubt, so he took the opportunity to go out with Yan Mu, so he asked Jiancheng and Chen Gang to find the head of the corpse in private.

Whatever the reason, since the deceased died in Shuiyun Village, then this severed head must still be here.

"My lord, I found that you are really powerful, in the range you gave, there really is a head! But ......"

Jiancheng squinted, "But things don't seem to be that simple!" The dead man is not the man Guan Shan said! ”

Gu Changqing's face was flat, as if he had known that it would be like this, "The dead person should be the coachman next to this man!" ”

Yan Mu was shocked as if he could eat a toad in one bite, "Isn't it the one who died who stayed at the stranger's place?" Then why do you have to talk to her for so long, and agree to what kind of remarks about death by poisoning! ”

"Just because I agree doesn't mean it's true." Gu Changqing said unashamedly, "The truth is not something that can be changed because I agree or not!" ”

Yan Mu stretched out his thumb, with a look of admiration, and sighed, "Changqing, I finally understand why I never won a game when I was a child. Behold, there are no ghosts but you! ”

"You're right, there are really ghosts in this Shuiyun Village!" Gu Changqing smiled lightly, "But I'm a little tired, this ghost, I have to catch it again in the future!" ”

After speaking, Gu Changqing didn't ask Jiancheng how he found the head, nor did he go to see who the head was, but walked straight to Guan Qinghe's house, laid out the futon and fell asleep slowly.

However, Yan Mu who was lying next to him didn't have this good sleep, and when he thought of the person during the day, his heart was like being stuffed with cotton, and he was full for a while.

He suddenly remembered about a year ago.

The wind is bleak, and the cold storm is cold.

The cold window has been broken, and drunkenness is emotional.

Gu Changqing opened his eyes a little confused, looking at the cold wind and the dark night that began to squeeze into the room along the window in late autumn, and his hands were coldly hidden in the bulge between his eyes.

When he was drunk, he had an unbearable headache, and it seemed that there was a huge trapped beast living in his head, as if he was trying his best to break free from the shackles of the imprisoned body, and he only felt a shattered pain.

Yan Mu is still sleeping, and there is a relaxed feeling between his eyebrows and eyes, unlike himself, even if he is drunk, he must be frowning.

He walked to the window with his hands in his hands, and the cold wind blew his face, as if he had been much more awake in an instant, but his hands and feet were still cold, as if they had never been scorched.

His somewhat pale fingertips touched the window frame, only to see the moonlight falling bleakly as if covered with a thin veil.

Today, is he experienced from the township test, the examination, and the selection of the palace examination, the champion and the first day, today at noon, after the top three lists, the emperor issued an edict, and gave a banquet in Qiongyuan.

The imperial examination is a means of selecting talents that the Dajin Kingdom attaches the most importance to, and the emperor came to the Qionglin banquet in person and specially met with the top three.

And Gu Changqing, who is the leader, naturally needs to face the saint.

After a short conversation, Emperor Jin fell in love with this young man, and he was not conformist or arrogant in his speech and demeanor, neither humble nor arrogant, just right, and let Emperor Jin open his mouth to praise.

Everyone has the heart of talent, even the emperor who is high above is no exception.

It is a blessing that the imperial court can get this talent.

It's just that Gu Changqing wanted to speak a few times and stopped, and when the words came to his mouth, he could only swallow them, he knew in his heart that it was a little inappropriate to say those words at this time, but if he didn't say it, it was like a stone pressed on his chest, and it was uncomfortable.

Just when he was struggling with whether to say or not, Emperor Jin got up, flicked his sleeves, and said with a natural smile, "I see that those young people are playing freely outside, and you are often absent-minded, so let's go out with me for a while?!" ”

As he spoke, an old eunuch stepped forward to support Emperor Jin, Gu Changqing got up, saluted, and walked out after him.

Emperor Jin said that he wanted him to accompany him, but from time to time, he didn't know which minister he was pulled away to talk about state affairs.

If you want to carry the crown, you must bear its weight.

The higher the position, some things will naturally have to be discarded.

Gu Changqing was bored strolling, with his temperament, he was unwilling to be with those old fritters in the officialdom and touted without knowing anything, he was willing to stay alone in the corner.

Between the staggered ideas in front of him, Gu Changqing only felt that someone had touched him behind his back.

He quickly turned around, only to see that the man had blended into the crowd, and it was impossible to confirm who it was between the crowded banquets.

I thought someone had accidentally touched it, but the moment he turned around, under the floating of his hands, he faintly felt that there was something his waist.

He held his breath and pulled it off decisively, only to see a brocade-shaped purse-like thing, embroidered with peach blossoms with a shy face.

He just wanted to open it to take a look, but was interrupted by someone who came, and this interruption did not stop until the banquet was over and he returned to the inn where he was staying.

Yan Mu had already prepared all kinds of greeting gifts, but in the end, Gu Changqing only chose one or two people who could get drunk and rest.

When the drunkenness completely turned into sleepiness, Yan Mu actually picked up the purse that fell from Gu Changqing's cuffs, his eyes flashed, and he said with some slurred words, "Gu Changqing, are you carrying me to collect a woman's purse?!" ”

Gu Changqing wanted to explain but didn't know how to speak, fortunately, Yan Mu was not obsessed with this, for his friend who didn't know what a woman was, Yan Mu was willing to see how he was interested in women, but now, I don't know how much such a purse has been thrown, and I haven't seen him have ever been moved by anyone.

"Young Master Ben, look at what's in here? You're not here today, don't you know, there are a lot of female guests coming back and forth in this inn? Listen to the shopkeeper, it's all to see you... Oh no, it's looks, and Fangrong shouldn't describe you. ”

Yan Mu said with a big tongue and a smile, but his hand had already opened the purse neatly.

Gu Changqing just drank another glass of wine, Yan Mu's temperament he understood, this kind of thing didn't let him see enough, I was afraid that it wouldn't be able to end, anyway, it wasn't an important thing, so he simply let him go.

"What is this? Is it difficult, which girl from a big family can't write it for you? ”

Yan Mu took out a small note rolled into a roll in his purse, which was not large, similar to the size of a flying pigeon transmitting information.

"I'll see what this is, and listen to Young Master Ben read it to you...... The True ...... of Eighteen Years Ago"

Yan Mu's pupils opened slightly, and his words stopped, and he only felt that he was wrapped in a cold air all over his body.

"Read on?" Gu Changqing ate the wine and food, and said casually, at the banquet, greetings were greater than eating, and looking at the food on this small table at this time, he was indeed a little hungry.

After pondering for a moment, Yan Mu seemed to have made a huge determination, and then slowly stretched out his hand and handed the note to Gu Changqing.

Seeing that Yan Mu's face was wrong, Gu Changqing's heart was also tight, and without saying much, he directly opened the note and looked at it.

"The truth of eighteen years ago is in Yong'an City!"

On the black and white paper, a few big characters are clear, even if Gu Changqing wants to deny it in his heart, he is afraid that he can't.

Eighteen years ago, that nightmarish time.

He thought he had forgotten, but in fact he had already gone deep into his bone marrow.

Early the next morning, Yan Mu woke up with sleepy eyes, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Gu Changqing sitting at the table with a leisurely appearance eating breakfast.

He simply cleaned up, sat down with him, picked up a bun and said, "It's decided?!" ”

Gu Changqing nodded, "You know, if I don't go on this trip, I'm afraid I won't be able to live in peace in my life, you know, what have I been doing in the past ten years?" ”

"But have you ever thought about what if this note is someone with ulterior motives, in order to deceive you? You know, the current Yong'an City is not as good as before, and the death of several county commanders has made people panic! Yan Mu furrowed his brows and said with some concern.

"Nowadays, there are very few people who know my true identity, and the person who gave me this note must know something. Whatever he wants, I'm going to go for that reason?! Gu Changqing's face was firm, although he knew that it was impossible to find out the truth from eighteen years ago, but he didn't want to sit still and wait for nothing to happen.

"But... The city of Yong'an is now the abyss of hell. I'm afraid that if you go, it will be dangerous. ”

"Where is the danger, look at the father, in a place like Mingzhou, don't you ...... it" The latter words, Gu Changqing choked up and didn't say any more.

Yan Mu didn't say much, Gu Changqing's temperament was decided, and it was impossible to change his mind because of his two words, so he just raised his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "No matter where you go, take me one." In short, I've had enough of this capital, and in a northern city like Yong'an City, I want to enjoy the style. ”

Gu Changqing raised his eyes and stared at his friend, only to see that his face was firm, not like he was joking.

Yan Mu seemed to know what he was thinking, and continued to smile, "You have your persistence, and I naturally have my own persistence."

You want the truth, I need friends to keep me company.

You have a family and people in your heart, and I have love and friends in my heart. You don't need to persuade me, just as I don't advise you. ”

In the hearts of the two of them, their feelings had been decided, so they didn't say more, just waited for Gu Changqing to ask for the edict, and then went.

But this edict is half a year at once.

Emperor Jin persuaded him several times, and with Gu Changqing's character and talent, he hoped that he could stay in Yingtian City to help the young prince's knowledge grow.

But after half a year, and Yong'an City has repeatedly failed to find a suitable person to replace the position of the county commander, and the few people who were intended by Emperor Jin at the beginning have all returned to their hometowns on the grounds of illness and age, in fact, Emperor Jin also understands that Yong'an City is a big city at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, although there is now a Dingyuan general Ban Chao stationed in Yong'an City who is temporarily dealing with the affairs of the city.

But Ban Chao is a commander after all, and leading troops to fight is very different from those who manage the affairs of the people, and for more than half a year, Ban Chao has not known how many folds he has given to the cabinet.

"Gu Qing, do you know that with your talent and my love, you should have a great future, in Yingtian City, you must be able to display great ambitions and ideals, and although Yong'an City is rich, but in the end, the border city, things are complicated, and you will lose your life if you are not careful in battle, especially today's Yong'an City, which can be described as Longtan Tiger's Den, have you thought about it? Do you really want to go?! "The Golden Emperor sat on the throne of the golden dragon, because against the light, no one could see what his gaze was.

"Longtan Tiger's Lair, Hell Abyss, I have the emperor's appreciation, I can't live up to the holy will, now Yong'an City, a mess, the people's lives are also in fear, as a person of the court, I have no obligation to shirk. This trip to Yong'an, there will definitely be a result. Please rest assured. Gu Changqing Junlang's face couldn't see an expression, but his gaze was as firm as a mountain, and he must have made this decision after careful consideration.

Emperor Jin then smiled indifferently and said, "Since Gu Qing already has such great ambitions, although I want to keep you in Yingtian City, but I also know that you should let go, then okay, I will appoint you as the county commander of Yong'an City, and set off on the same day, and within a month, find out the truth about the death of several county commanders!" If you can't find out, I will definitely punish you! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Changqing knelt down and saluted, in fact, his heart had already flown to Yong'an City, if it weren't for the emperor who stayed in Yingtian City for half a year, I was afraid that the matter would have already ended.

It's just that he is a courtier, and some words should be buried in his heart. After all, the prince's affairs are also a major event of the country, and the prince's heart is upright, and it must be the luck of the people to ascend the throne in the future.

Later, Gu Changqing began to stubbornly give up this matter, and came to Yong'an City to become a county magistrate.

Yan Mu knew why Gu Changqing did this, on the one hand, it was to figure out Gu Jingping's case back then, maybe not for revenge, but some things must not be sloppy.

On the other hand, he knew that with the economic status and geographical location of Yong'an City, if there was no good leader, he would not be able to play its due role.

But now that I think about it carefully, Gu Changqing has come to the extreme, and a lot of big and small things have happened, but there are very few things about the past, and there are not many frowns.

And what he can do is extremely limited, he can only watch him struggle here!
