Chapter 9: Temptation
The two looked at each other, and they both saw a subtle smile in each other's eyes, and then there was a-for-tat meaning in the laughter.
She only showed a hint of her idea of calculating the plan, and he understood it all, and his mind was so clever that he could not lose to the nine tricks of Bigan. Yun Yanzheng secretly thought to himself, whether the next plan could impress him, his thoughts quickly flipped in his mind, this person was too transparent, so agile that she couldn't grasp it.
Yun Yanzheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and thought for a moment, since he had committed the scoundrel, then let her be a scoundrel completely. She said resolutely: "King Heng of the Ul Kingdom regards Brother Gu as a confidant, and the general of the Ul Kingdom sincerely intersects with Brother Gu. Under such deep affection and friendship, Brother Gu can still see death without help, deliberately killing the general of the Wei Kingdom, such a ruthless and unrighteous reputation, if it is spread to the enemy country, I am afraid that Brother Gu will be difficult to gain the trust of others? I have to face all kinds of suspicion and criticism. Although Brother Gu can change the direction of the rumors, if the rumors about Brother Gu's shamelessness continue all day long, wouldn't it be overkill and let down Brother Gu's talent? If Brother Gu insists on being ruthless to the end and does not accept my suggestion, in order to prevent Brother Gu from being born to help the enemy country, I have no choice but to spare these hands. At this moment, the woman in white in front of him seemed to suddenly brighten, like a sword out of the box blooming with dazzling brilliance, and her words swept across his cheeks like a fierce sword wind.
Gu Yi's eyes changed like a storm, and after smiling faintly, he gently dusted off his dust-free clothes, and suddenly changed his tone, and seemed to be a little resentful and helpless: "Okay." Then we will take half a year, and after half a year, the master-apprenticeship of Gu and General Yun will be written off and no longer exist. ”
Yun Yanzheng lowered her eyelashes, covering the thoughts rolling in her eyes at this moment, and sighed softly in her heart, she had done her best. It is the best outcome to be able to have a deeper layer of involvement with this person by force and not by force. Only in this way can there be room for mediation in the future, and besides, this kind of accusation and threat, in the future, it can be a matter of laughing off, and it is just a means to plot people's hearts. Born in the royal family, he has long understood the truth of this, not to mention that he is a smart person in ice and snow. She nodded in agreement, and in an instant, she humbly asked: "Okay, a word is a certainty." I just don't know what kind of etiquette I have to do to worship my brother as a teacher? ”
"Gu Mou also has to take a look at General Yun, what kind of qualifications you have, so that you can teach you according to your aptitude? So as not to bury General Yun, your genius. Gu Xi looked at her slightly depressed eyebrows, smiled deeper, and said softly, "Before that, let Gu Mou take a look at how General Yun solved this bloody case in Gyeonggi." ”
Yun Yanzheng didn't take the ridicule and disrespect in his words to heart. In her actions, she was dressed in white and graceful, bowed her hand, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will no longer bother Brother Gu, and I will leave here." As if she had not felt sorry for him, she turned away in style.
In the cool shade of greenery, Gu Xi's white-clothed Shengxue sat idly among the falling flowers like a cloud, with black eyebrows and eyes, and his eyes were as clear as water, and then the slightly curved moist corners of his lips seemed to choke a trace of the softest arc.
In the next few days, Yun Yanzheng neither alarmed Chu Ruirong, nor did he go to Yun Yanjin to discuss. The secret posts under her command are all controlled by her alone, and she usually spies on enemy intelligence as a secret spy in the army, and has helped her break through many enemy situations and defeat many recalcitrant troops, and today it is used in the secret investigation of the Kyoto blood case, which will naturally not disappoint.
These secret sentinels, as long as she sets a goal, will naturally use various ways to obtain the source of information from various channels, and then choose to secretly report it for her reference. It's just that now that she's in Kyoto, the secret sentinels around her are not concentrated here, and it's inconvenient to act too obviously, lest others notice the sharp weapon she controls in the shadows.
The news sent by Mu Dong, the secret sentinel, that night, the person who knocked down the bookshelf of the Criminal Department and stole the file of Concubine Li's disappearance case was actually from the order of the person in the palace. They had just disappeared the blood characters in Dali Temple, and the scrolls over there were stolen, was this a coincidence or did it prove the guess in her heart? Who intentionally sent Concubine Li into the palace back then? Was it the crown prince who was not very favored by his father back then, or was there another conspirator?
Her behavior with the third brother and others can be said to have been under the watchful eye of the emperor, her eldest princess's mansion is still cleaner, and the third brother's prince's mansion is full of spies from various factions.
In the dangerous atmosphere of Weiguo Yue City, the "Weiyun Garden" in Hengwang's Mansion is extraordinarily leisurely and quiet.
Fortunately, the location of the garden is extremely lonely and remote, and it is a single household, and King Heng does not allow idle people to approach and stay here at will on the grounds that Mr. Gu likes to be quiet. Even the banquets in the house and the invitations outside the house were all blocked outside the door on the grounds that the husband was weak and not good at socializing, clearly revealing a trace of "exclusive favor" and "exclusive". It is not easy for those spies to find out the information, King Heng is over twenty years old and has not yet married a wife, it turns out that the secret news of liking male style has spread among the officials of Yuecheng for a while.
She pushed open the half-hidden wooden door of the overgrown branches, and when she came into view, there were towering ancient pear trees. Covering the sky and the sun, the jade is snow-white, and the finely broken coolness has suddenly come to the face, and the breeze can make people feel a comfortable leisure.
There is only one white marble paved path in the garden, which winds around the forest, and never leads to the main house. The bright sunlight sifted through the beautiful green leaves of the pear blossom tree, and the slightest trace of it fell on the person, which had already become thin and refreshing.
Yun Yanzheng carried a gray cloth bag, walked through the woods, and approached the main house, and saw Gu Xi leisurely leaning on the side of a towering pear blossom tree, his cloud clothes like snow, and his slender posture. The only visible side face is half-closed, the expression is silent and soft, like the snow and clouds under the moon on the horizon, the long hair that falls down the shoulders is also gently blowing in the breeze, one hand is held horizontally around the waist, and the other hand is dancing in the void.
The wind was blowing strongly inside and outside the palace, but this person was at ease, and he didn't seem to care about his reputation at all. Or, did he really like the third brother? Yun Yanzheng endured his own imagination, or did he say that this person really had a plan and could do something that ordinary people couldn't bear?
There seemed to be an invisible rhythm flowing from all over his body, and Yun Yanzheng stood silently five steps away. At first, I thought he was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, but then I looked closely at the only finger he was moving, and felt that it seemed to be a gesture that echoed something.
Looking at his side again, the flowers and leaves falling with the wind like butterfly wings, the occasional undulating hair and the fluttering clothes, Yun Yanzheng thought for a moment and asked, "Are you listening to the wind?" ”
Gu Xi raised a light smile and whispered, "Yes, when the wind blows through different things, they will all make different sounds." And when these subtle sounds come together, it becomes a beautiful music that has never been seen before. After he finished speaking, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the flowers and leaves falling in front of him, and looked at her with a calm expression, "Are you playing the piano well?" ”
Piano? The gloom in Yun Yan's eyes swept by, and he replied lightly: "It's okay." Before she commanded the Nine Heavens Ride, she was also like the princesses of other countries, and she moved the world with her talent and appearance, but she didn't think it was the glory of her words. That's just the glory of being a princess of the Ul Kingdom, and the ability of a woman in the Ninefold Palace to use her talents and wits to get rid of her fate and attract more attention and favor from her father.
The corner of Gu Xi's eyes swept over her fleeting eyes, and turned to look at her shoulders carrying heavy loads, and smiled slightly with interest: "I don't know what General Yun wants from Gu when he is here today?" ”
Yun Yan couldn't help but sigh, he couldn't be a hypocrisy in front of this person. She walked to his side with a heavy load on her back, put the package lightly on the grass, and said as a matter of course: "This garden is full of pear blossoms, because Brother Gu lives here, this year's flowers are nine points whiter than ever." Naturally, I also went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and I came to Brother Gu to ask for advice. ”
Gu Xi leaned against the trunk of the tree, turned his eyes to look at her, and said with a faint smile: "Now that General Yun has not yet entered my door, you and I are not good friends, I don't know what kind of position and identity General Yun wants to ask Gu for advice?" ”
was rejected by him without leaving any room for it, Yun Yanzheng was not angry, and said with a smile: "You and I are both masters and apprentices sooner or later, so why bother about this sooner or later?" What's more, Brother Gu once said that I would consider my qualifications, and now I am here for this matter, why does Brother Gu need to turn people away? ”
She generously opened the package in front of him, took out the pen and paper, and scattered the notes on the ground. In the end, he simply sat down cross-legged, raised his head and said to him: "These are the spy reports I have collected in recent days, and the truth and falsehood are mixed, so I would like to ask Brother Gu for details." In this way, Brother Gu can also take this into account for me, and see how much of my talent and qualifications are, and whether you can satisfy you, Brother Gu? ”
Gu Xi casually glanced at the paper on the ground, and finally fell on her raised face. I knew that she wanted to test his strength, and to peek into his relationship with the Kyoto mystery. She is very confident that she and Yun Yanjin's ability can trap him in this Yue City for their use, or can't she predict that just relying on these words and sporadic espionage reports that he will never forget, it will be enough for him to keep the truth from the false, add to the use, and create a treacherous change in the government of the Wei Kingdom?
