Chapter 5 Staff
Along the way, Gu Zimo and Chang Qing chatted, and the time passed quickly, and they arrived at the Lanling Palace.
This area of the Lanling Palace, which is the center of the entire city, is heavily guarded on weekdays, and the common people are not allowed to approach it at all.
Gu Zimo never thought that one day, he would actually sit in a luxurious carriage and walk in from this gate in such a grand manner.
He followed Gao Wen's side, and when he entered the solemn gate, the guards guarding the door on both sides saw Gao Wen and saluted respectfully: "I have seen Mr. Gao." ”
After a few brief explanations with the guards with a serious face, when he looked at Gu Zimo, his face immediately returned to his signature smile, and while enthusiastically introducing the structure of the palace to Gu Zimo, he guided Gu Zimo like a guide.
The Northern Qi Dynasty has Xianbei blood, and the courtyard of the Lanling Royal Mansion is a clever integration of Xianbei and Han style.
From the roof to the roof, bricks, wood, and stone are carved with dragons and phoenixes, deer and cranes, landscapes, flowers, and words. The inside and outside of the house are painted with lacquer patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, clouds and thunders, flowers and plants, etc., and the skills are exquisite and lifelike.
Gu Zimo had never seen such a magnificent mansion, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
Gao Wen walked a few steps and found that Gu Zimo didn't follow, so he turned back, "Zimo Gongzi, but you're tired?" ”
This Lanling Palace, from the outside, looks extraordinary, and entering the inside is even more exaggerated.
Gu Zimo didn't want to admit that his physical strength was so unbearable, but he couldn't compare to Gao Wen, who was one round faster than himself.
However, Gu Zimo's legs were really a little sore, so he had to say frustratedly: "It's a little ......."
"Since Zimo Gongzi is tired, let's rest for a while in this garden." Gao Wen said and pointed to a garden on the right side of the corridor, and made a gesture of invitation to Gu Zimo.
Gu Zimo was a little embarrassed, "Are we okay like this?" Will it make His Royal Highness King Lanling wait for a long time? ”
Hearing this, Gao Wen was slightly stunned, and hurriedly explained to Gu Zimo: "Prince Zimo doesn't need to be nervous, the prince is not in the house now, you can rest at will, don't worry." ”
"What? He's not in the house? ”
Gu Zimo thought that King Lanling sent someone to take him to the mansion, there must be something important to discuss with him, and that matter was likely to be related to Gao Xiaolin, but now, others have arrived at the mansion, but King Lanling ......
"That's right, when I went down to pick you up, the prince was indeed in the house, but at that time, I heard that there were military affairs in the army that needed to be handled by the prince."
"He's not here, what are we doing here?"
Gu Zimo lost interest in an instant, no matter how good the scenery here is, in the majestic building, it can't attract him half a point.
Chang Qing saw Gu Zimo's thoughts, and hurriedly said to Gao Wen: "Manager Gao, since His Royal Highness the King of Lanling is not here, why don't I go back with Zimo first, and when His Highness comes back, I will come to visit when the time comes, what do you think?" ”
"This ......" Gao Wen was slightly embarrassed, paused, and said to Chang Qing: "Chang Qing Gongzi, if you have something to leave, I will arrange a carriage to send you back." It's just that, Zimo Gongzi, he has to stay. ”
"Why should I stay?" Gu Zimo was anxious when he heard this.
"Yes, I came with Zimo, so naturally I have to go back together, if Zimo has to stay, then I won't leave, stay with Zimo......"
Seeing that Gu Zimo and Chang Qing were a little anxious, Gao Wen hurriedly explained: "I'm afraid that it is not for Chang Qing Gongzi to be influenced by going and staying, Chang Qing Gongzi and Zimo Gongzi are different, Chang Qing Gongzi is a friend of Zimo Gongzi, so as long as you don't stay overnight, you can play in the house for a while, and it will not be in the way." However, Zimo Gongzi lived in the palace as a staff member appointed by the prince, so under the premise of the prince's permission, Zimo Gongzi could leave, otherwise, Zimo Gongzi was afraid that he would not be able to leave this palace. ”
"Staff?"
Gu Zimo and Chang Qing said in unison.
The two of them looked at each other in great surprise, Changqing was a little indescribable, but Gu Zimo was as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face twitched a few times, "Is this really what King Lanling meant?" Let me be his staff, not Chang Qing? ”
Although Gu Zimo is high, he also knows his own catties, and when it comes to resourcefulness, he is far inferior to Chang Qing, usually when he encounters things, he also needs Chang Qing to give advice.
What does this Lanling King think? Will you actually ask him to be a staff member?
He did read the books of the sages, but it was only for Gao Xiaolin......
He was a lazy man, and he never thought about whose staff he wanted to be and whose political cause he would contribute.
Thinking about it, this Lanling King is probably really confused before he looks for him.
"Is Zimo Gongzi questioning his ability to understand?" Gao Wen has been by Gao Changgong's side for many years, and it can be said that he knows Gao Changgong the best.
Gu Zimo still felt incredible, "Manager Gao, can you explain to me what the staff does?" ”
"I thought that Zimo Gongzi knew, after all, Zimo Gongzi was the first talent in this whole Yongcheng."
"Mr. Gao, don't put a high hat on me, I didn't promise to be King Lanling's staff at all. So, I'm still free and can leave with Changqing......"
"Hehe, Zimo Gongzi, didn't you just say it? You are the staff appointed by the prince, and the prince says that you are, and you are. ”
Gu Zimo couldn't help his scalp tingling, "So, I agree or not, it doesn't matter at all?" ”
"It can be understood that way." Gao Wen smiled, nodded and added: "In Quanyong City, the life of the prince is the sky, and Zimo Gongzi still needs to remember." ”
Gu Zimo broke out in a cold sweat, "What do you mean, until he comes back, I have to stay in this ghost place?"
Gao Wen couldn't help frowning when he heard that Gu Zimo actually said that the dignified Lanling Mansion was a ghost place, and corrected: "Prince Zimo, how can you say that the palace is a ghost place?" This is a big disrespect, and I won't talk about it in the future. ”
"What if you insist on getting out of here? Will you use force against me? Gu Zimo didn't expect to fall into such a situation today.
Thinking of King Lanling's reaction to him last night, shouldn't he, that person is so cold, he doesn't have a few words, and he has no expression, why would he appoint him to be his staff?
And keep him in the king's house, is this to make him a prisoner?
Gao Wen was stunned, and hurriedly smiled: "Zimo Gongzi is too worried, if you insist on leaving, the people in the mansion will naturally not dare to use force against you, but the prince has confessed, if you have to leave the palace, then you will never know the news about Gao Xiaolin." ”
"What?" When Gu Zimo heard this, a glint flashed in his eyes, "High...... His Royal Highness the King of Lanling, is he really willing to tell me the news of Xiaolin? ”
When Gao Wen heard this, his face changed slightly, "Your Highness is a noble person, and I am the God of War, is Zimo Gongzi questioning His Highness's credibility?" ”
"No, I didn't mean that, I just ...... Somewhat unexpected......"
He mentioned Gao Xiaolin to King Lanling last night, but King Lanling didn't react at all at that time, he thought King Lanling hadn't heard it.
Now that Gao Wen said this, I think that King Lanling is really willing to help him find Gao Xiaolin.
Thinking of this, he was not so resistant to the matter of staying as a staff member for King Lanling.
"So, Zimo Gongzi, do you still want to leave now?" Gao Wen saw that Gu Zimo had been completely shaken, and asked with a smile.
Gu Zimo hurriedly shook his head: "Don't go, I want to stay, didn't I say that I want to be a staff member for the prince......
"Mr. Zimo is really smart." Gao Wen nodded with satisfaction and looked at Chang Qing on the side, "It's not too early, let's send Chang Qing's son out of the house." ”
"Wait a minute, I want to talk to Chang Qing alone."
Gao Wen was stunned, then he realized it, and his head retreated.
"Do you really want to stay?" Chang Qing asked.
Gu Zimo nodded and said seriously: "Well, didn't you also say that King Lanling is the best person who can help me find Xiaolin." ”
"It's just that he asked you to be a staff member, and he ...... Living in the palace, I always feel that there is something weird......"
"Not only do you think it's weird, I'm also surprised, if you are obviously a staff member, your brain is much more suitable than me, I don't know what King Lanling thinks...... probably felt that he couldn't get paid for helping me find Gao Xiaolin, so he left me to do chores at home and help him do something! ”
Chang Qing shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Leave you to do chores in the house?" I can't see it. ”
"Do you see something?" Gu Zimo heard that Chang Qing had something to say.
"There is no shortage of unprofessional subordinates like you in this huge Lanling Palace, in my opinion, you stay in the palace, you are definitely treated as a guest of honor, not to mention anything else, look at the attitude of the head of Gao towards you, and the carriage that he is not qualified to ride, but you can sit, what does this mean?"
“…… What does that mean? Gu Zimo was confused, how could he feel that the more Chang Qing talked about him, the more dizzy he became.
"Forget it, you can slowly understand it yourself, anyway, I think the errand of a staff member you can find in this Lanling Mansion is not bad."
"If you don't think there's anything wrong with this, I'll stay, it's just that my father and mother, you have to help me say ......" Thinking of separating from his father, Gu Zimo was a little sad.
Chang Qing patted Gu Zimo's shoulder, took a deep look at Gu Zimo, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu, I will help you explain clearly, when it comes to you, you have to be more careful......
"I know, a companion is like a tiger, I will keep my distance from King Lanling."
Chang Qing shook his head, smiled faintly, and waved his hand at Gu Zimo, signaling that he didn't need to send him.
Gu Zimo leaned on the red pillar in the corridor and watched Chang Qing walk out of sight little by little, until Chang Qing's figure was completely gone, and then shouted in the direction that Gao Wenfang had just left: "Manager Gao." ”
Gao Wen really didn't go far, probably expecting Gu Zimo to call him, and quickly walked in front of Gu Zimo, "What do you have to say?" ”
Gu Zimo twisted his eyebrows and asked seriously, "When will His Royal Highness King Lanling come back?" ”
