Gu Zimo went back to Gu's house, but his father and mother were not at home, and his mood was a little low.

I was going to see Evergreen, but when I arrived at Evergreen's cloth village, I heard a sigh from inside before I entered the door: "How is this good, if it doesn't work, just put the cloth village out...... We also go to the countryside to avoid the limelight? ”

"I'm sorry, mother, this is the only thing my father left us, but the child is incompetent, and he can't keep ......"

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't insisted on telling you about that family business, I wouldn't have caused you such a big trouble, because my mother didn't think about it...... It's a ...... for you."

Gu Zimo listened to it in a fog, but he roughly understood that the evergreen cloth village was afraid that something had happened.

He walked towards Buzhuang.

Chang Qing lowered his head, heard the footsteps and thought it was a guest, and said dejectedly: "It's not open today, Your Excellency, please go back." ”

"It's me, Kiyoko Ko!"

Gu Zimo saw that Chang Qing was languishing, his dark circles were very heavy, and the whole person was haggard, and Chang Qing's mother on the side also had a sad face.

"Zimo?"

Chang Qing looked up and saw Gu Zimo, slightly surprised, and was about to speak, Chang Qing's mother walked up to Gu Zimo and looked Gu Zimo up and down, "I haven't seen Zimoxian's nephew for a long time...... How have you been lately? ”

"It's still the same ......"

Gu Zimo glanced at the furnishings in the cloth village, and many shelves were emptied.

"What's going on?"

"It's hard to say at this time, it's okay, don't mention it......"

"Xiao Qingzi, you and I still see each other, tell me quickly, what happened, maybe I can help you with something!"

"That is, I heard that Zimo Xian's nephew is now serving with His Royal Highness the King of Lanling, maybe there will be a turn for the better in this matter, and it may not be ......"

"Mother, don't say it! It is not appropriate to involve Zimo in this matter! ”

Gu Zimo saw that Chang Qing's face was very wrong, and interrupted him with a frown, "What involved me, if you think you are my brother, don't be so alien to me!" My brother is in trouble, if I can do my part, it is naturally incumbent! ”

"Zimoxian's nephew is really a good boy, in fact, this matter is ......"

"Mother!!"

"Aunt Chang, leave him alone, continue to talk about your ......"

"This matter is actually blamed on me, if I hadn't arranged that family affair for Changqing, there would have been no such big trouble, the daughter of that old friend, she actually had an intention of falling in love with someone, or a native of Zhou, the two of them pretended to agree to this family affair in order to secretly communicate with each other, I was kept in the dark, I didn't know anything about this matter, and now the court is coming, and we are determined that we deliberately shield them for adultery and treason...... Hey, Zimo Xian's nephew, you also know that the crime of treason is to punish the nine clans......"

"Mother, you go back to the inner room to rest first, I'll talk to Zimo for a few words."

Without waiting for Gu Zimo to speak, Chang Qing reached out and pulled Chang Mu, shook his head, and signaled her not to continue.

"Okay, then you talk, I won't bother you."

Chang's mother returned to the inner room with some regret.

Gu Zimo's face instantly fell, "Xiao Qingzi, when is it, you are still hiding like this in front of me!" Tell me, what the hell has come of it? ”

"Just like my mother said......"

"I can't stop watching! If you only suspect that you are covering up their defection, as long as there is no evidence, you cannot be convicted, do you have any leverage? Otherwise, why would you want to go out of the cloth village and flee to the countryside? I was at the door, and I heard it, Xiao Qingzi, don't hide it from me if it's a brother! ”

"Zimo, you should leave this matter alone, I don't want you to be involved......"

"Okay, if you don't say yes, then I'll ask Aunt Chang!"

"Zimo!!"

"Although you and I are not brothers, but for so many years, we have also taken care of each other, and now that you have encountered something, how can I stand idly by? And, have you forgotten? I am now serving by the side of King Lanling, and now is not the same as before, so it's a big deal for me to ask King Lanling to help you......"

"His Royal Highness the King of Lanling will never take care of this matter."

Chang Qing sighed, and his face gradually darkened.

"You didn't even say what it was, how do you know he won't care? Actually, he ...... It's not as hateful as we think, and he's still good to me......"

"Do you really want to let the King of Lanling wade into this troubled water?"

"If he can save you, it won't be in vain that I have been imprisoned in the palace by him for so long."

"But that person is Taiwei Liu, even if it is His Royal Highness the King of Lanling, he may not be able to ...... this person."

"It's so complicated? Is it Liu Qingyun, the righteous brother of Zu Ting, the favorite minister of the current saint in Yecheng? ”

"Yes, that's him. Looking at the entire Northern Qi Dynasty, which other Taiwei Liu dared to do it against the King of Lanling? This person relied on his brother-in-law Zu Ting to win the favor of His Majesty, and Zu Ting monopolized the government together, and it was a reform, and it was a reduction of redundancy, and the deposition of the traitorous Yu Xingchen, etc., in fact, they were nothing more than to ensure their power in the name of reform, and His Royal Highness the King of Lanling had a very high prestige in the army, and he held a heavy army and did not accept the restrictions of reform, so he had always made the two extremely jealous, so at that time, His Royal Highness the King of Lanling returned to the dynasty with a great victory, and he made a big fuss about the "Lanling King's Entry Song" widely sung by the soldiers and the people. to separate His Highness and His Majesty. ”

"Is there such a thing? But aren't Gao Changgong and His Majesty cousins? ”

"His Royal Highness King Lanling was indeed extremely relied on by His Highness when His Majesty first succeeded to the throne, after all, because His Highness and he were cousins...... Naturally, he trusts a little more than outsiders, but in the end, he can't match the slander of this traitor...... Because of the slanderous remarks of Zu Ting and Taiwei Liu, His Majesty has suspicion of His Royal Highness the King of Lanling, so His Royal Highness has rarely returned to Yecheng in recent years...... to prevent His Majesty and that Taiwei Liu from making a big fuss......"

"There is such a thing...... You've never been out of the city, how did you know that? ”

Gu Zimo has always only known that Gao Changgong is in a high position, and he is above 10,000 people under one person, and he is the god of war who looks down on the world.

But he never thought that he had already separated from the current saint.

If so, wouldn't Gao Changgong's situation be very dangerous?

Especially in the DPRK, there are traitors such as Taiwei Liu.

"I heard these things from a relative in Yecheng, and from the analysis of the court situation in the past few years, it is easy to know the reason. So, Zimo, do you understand? This matter has been weakened, even the king of Lanling can't save me, I have accepted my fate, if I really can't escape this catastrophe, there is only one thing, Zimo, you must promise me...... Do it for me...... It is to send my mother back to a safe place in the countryside and arrange for someone to take care of him for me...... Your kindness, brother, I will repay you in the next life! ”

"I still don't understand, if it's a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly, the other party has no evidence, why should he put the crime of treason on you, and it shouldn't be against you if you want to punish the crime......"

"Man, indeed...... I let it go. ”

Chang Qing lowered his head and said.

"What did you say?"

"That woman's name is Qiulan, when she came to see me in Quanyongcheng, she was already pregnant, and as soon as I had a few words with her, she was arrested by Mrs. Liu's people, just in front of me, do you know how Mrs. Liu humiliated her? Mrs. Liu stuffed his pet dog ** into the woman's **, causing the woman to have a miscarriage and almost die...... What kind of fornication with Zhou Guoqing is all arranged by Taiwei Liu......"

"Oh my God! Captain Liu, he's too vicious! Isn't he afraid of retribution if he does this? ”

"Retribution? Worse than this, is Liu Qingyun doing less? ”

"So, then Taiwei Liu is sure that you and Qiulan are a couple, so he wants to put the sin on your head?"

"That's one reason, but there's another reason."

Chang Qing said, took a key from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Zimo, "It's because of this." ”

"It's ......"

"My relatives in Yecheng were slaughtered by Taiwei Liu and Zu Ting. Left behind a blood letter that clearly identifies the guilt of the two men, and this is the key. It's been in my custody for more than a year, but recently I don't know why the news has leaked, so I suspect that Qiulan came to Quanyong City this time, which itself is a bureau set up by Taiwei Liu, and what he wants is this key. ”

"Wouldn't it be ...... if you give it to me now?"

"There is a secret protection where you are, so I'm not worried that Captain Liu's people will see that I gave you the key. The key is yours, but it is the safest. ”

"Since you say so, then it proves that I have a way to save you, Xiao Qingzi, provoked that kind of pervert, if you can't hand over the key, he will definitely kill you......"

"But even if I pay it, do you think he will let me go?"

"If this blood edict falls into the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Lanling, the other party will be jealous, right?"

"Actually, I have long wanted to present this thing to His Royal Highness the King of Lanling, but I have never been able to find a chance, after all, I am not sure if His Highness will be willing to take care of this matter...... After all, His Royal Highness does not like to participate in the struggle of the imperial court. ”

"He doesn't like it and can't help it, I'll take care of this matter!"

Gu Zimo said and took out a seal, "This is the seal given to me by Gao Changgong, it turns out that my authority is very high, if I come forward to negotiate with that Taiwei Liu and let him let you go, do you think he will agree?" ”

"Zimo, you must not risk ......"

"But we don't have any other good way, then Mrs. Liu will send someone over at any time. Don't worry, I won't act impulsively. ”

After Gu Zimo hurriedly said goodbye to Chang Qing, he immediately called into the air, "Where is the secret guard!" ”

"Subordinates in ......"

Suddenly a few black-clothed people appeared, Gu Zimo's eyes widened, it turned out that Gao Changgong had been sending people to secretly protect his safety.

Today is no exception.

"I want you to stay and protect my friends."

"My lord, we are ordered to protect you alone, and your friends are not under our protection."

"This is an order, do you want to disobey?" Gu Zimo had long known that they would not agree, and as he spoke, he took out the seal of the position given to him by King Lanling.

When those people saw the seal, they knelt down one after another.

"Subordinates obey."

After convincing these people to protect Changqing, Gu Zimo's heart relaxed a lot.

He hurriedly turned back to the palace.

Regarding the matter of Taiwei Liu, it is better to figure it out.

It's best to get some information from Gawain before taking action.

Gao Wen was surprised to see Gu Zimo turn back.

Just as he was about to ask, Gu Zimo asked anxiously: "Manager Gao, there is something I want to ask you." ”

"If Zimo Gongzi has something to say, he must know everything."

"Taiwei Liu has come to Quanyong City, do you know?"

Gu Zimo had been observing Gao Wen's demeanor as he spoke.

Sure enough, after the words were spoken, it was obvious that Gao Wen's face sank.

"This matter, I naturally know about it, this Taiwei Liu sent someone to send a gift on the first day he came to Quanyong City, saying that he came to visit His Highness, but he was rejected by His Highness, and it is a coincidence that the day when Taiwei Liu showed his face was the day before His Highness and Gongzi were assassinated, and I don't know if the two are related."
