The next day, after this night's "candle game", in the face of those shadowy silhouettes, the gossip secretly circulating in King Heng's mansion was even more noisy, all kinds of rumors were not the same, but they were more and more unbearable, and they were depicted vividly.

Gu Xi didn't care about these ambiguous and scarlet gossip, and after lunch, he poured out a pot of bloody tribute rain tea. He pursed his lips and smiled, those people couldn't count him with powder, but now they had sneaked into the palace to take his life.

Yun Yanzheng wanted to further investigate the connection between the Kyoto blood case and Concubine Li's corpse, but the Criminal Department and Dali Temple fought against the emperor's order, so she ran into a wall and returned. The emperor urgently summoned her from Hezhou to come back to sit in the army to prevent turmoil in Kyoto, and after she came out of the corpse room of Kyoto Prefecture last night, he explicitly rewarded Hezhou for quelling the rebellion, and appointed her to prepare military rations for the coming year, supervise the manufacture of new weapons and other miscellaneous matters, but deliberately did not let her get involved in this bloody case again.

The emperor ordered Dali Temple and Gyeonggi Yamen to join forces to investigate the case thoroughly, and secretly prevent others from interfering in it.

Yun Yan pretended to understand but pretended to be confused, pretending to be a little depressed in front of the emperor and in the army, and then waited for the changes on the bright face and stopped taking action. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and the gentleman is unpredictable, and she doesn't want to touch the tiger's whiskers for no reason at this time and dig her own grave.

At this time, the clouds are light and the wind is light in the afternoon, and in the garden of the Hengwang Mansion, the spring breeze is beautiful and the flowers are blooming. In a remote meadow near the lake, the four fields are empty, and the forest is full of peach blossoms.

Gu Xi covered an ancient book on his back, and lay down in the shade of the bushes with his hands behind his head. The white clothes are like flowing water, allowing the jade white and light pink peach blossoms to fall from the branches one by one, falling lightly on his body, and the white skin is like a jade halo in the hair, so that the clothes and hair are like floating in a fairyland.

Yun Yan was dressed in white like a cloud, and slowly stopped on the grass. Turning her eyes away from him, she turned her head to look at the blossoming peach blossoms of the tree, and the peach blossoms among the verdant branches and leaves reflected the clarity in her black eyes.

"General Yun is here to find Gu?" A low and light voice spit out from Gu Xi's pale red lips, and there was a hint of idleness.

Yun Yanzheng kept his hands behind his back, and a trace of hesitation seemed to flash between his expressions, and he sighed lightly after a moment and said, "The general came here to ask Brother Gu for advice, what kind of medicine did you rub for me last night?" ”

Gu Xi said lazily: "It's an antidote." ”

Yun Yanzheng paused for a moment of hesitation between his eyebrows, and stretched out a pair of hands from behind him with a faint expression, spread them out in front of him, and said indifferently: "Brother Gu, look at my hand." ”

Gu Xi let go of a hand from the back of his head and removed the book on his face, his open black eyes had a hint of misty charm, and looked at her, but he saw that the hands of the flesh and bone were still intact last night, but now the skin and flesh were a little blurred. He frowned in a little surprise, and said with a somewhat unpredictable expression in his narrowed eyes: "In addition to the medicine I gave you, what else has General Yun encountered?" ”

"No, after using Brother Gu's medicine since last night, it has been the same this morning." Yun Yanzheng's eyes looked at him with burning light, and the incomprehension in his eyes was even more than his.

Gu Xi put away his casual look, put down the book in his hand, sat up softly, and stretched out his fingers to pinch her fingertips. His movements were natural, and she didn't break free, just waiting for an answer he could give with a puzzled expression. When Gu Xi put her hand to the tip of her nose and sniffed lightly, she felt that there was a trace of feather-like breathing, and the breath swept very lightly and softly across the scorching palm, making her expression a little more guarded.

There was nothing but the familiar scent of herbs, and the pulse of her wrist was still so orderly, except for a little caution about the contact with each other at the moment. A trace of doubt flashed in Gu Xi's eyes, let go of her hand, and whispered, "Could it be that I was wrong?" ”

"Isn't that a powder-eating thing?" Yun Yanzheng asked, his eyes at this moment were even more sincere and undeceiving.

"Maybe there is something else...... Gu Xi frowned, his innocent eyes flickered slightly, but his gaze floated behind her, as if he was thinking about every moment of last night. In an instant, I traced it back in my mind without missing anything, and I didn't realize that there was anything wrong, what did I ignore?

Gu Xi tilted his head and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked her, "Is it General Yun who wants to ask for something from Gu?" ”

Yun Yanzheng suddenly smiled, with a hint of sincerity in his tone, and nodded: "I want to worship Brother Gu as your teacher?" ”

"General Shuyun, are you an apprentice?" Gu Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, and his voice was as soft as soft.

Yun Yan looked at him for a while, and said softly: "If the people of Wei Kingdom know that Brother Gu will not save his country's generals when he sees death, I don't know what kind of feelings and comments they will make?" What's more, my move is also for the sake of you, Brother Gu. ”

"Oh?" Gu Xi's eyes were meaningful, and he said with a smile: "How do you say this?" ”

"I am afraid that the corpse last night was a secret matter related to the royal family, and this matter is probably known to His Majesty at this moment. Brother Gu thinks, since you are in it, can you still get out of the way and enter and leave Gyeonggi freely? Yun Yan asked with a smile.

Gu Yi had no fear on his face, and said with a smile: "So, General Yun specially came to provide protection for Gu?" "But is it up to you to see what it means?

Yun Yanzheng didn't get angry with him, nodded and smiled, and deliberately said in a bit of unashamed tone: "That's right." If Brother Gu and I were involved in something, Prince Heng and Princess Fengwu would be the most intimate with Ben General, so naturally they would not sit idly by and ignore this matter. With Brother Gu's intelligence, he naturally knows what is beneficial and what is disadvantageous? ”

Gu Xi looked at her silently, but there was a slight hesitation in his eyes.

Yun Yanzheng knocked on each other with both hands, and said steadily: "Since Brother Gu has lived in King Heng's Mansion, he has nothing to do with this short life. Last night, I didn't want Brother Gu to fall into such a predicament, but you insisted on stepping in. However, Brother Gu has such sincerity, and I can't live up to your expectations. What's more, if you dare to follow Prince Heng into Beijing alone, you must have extraordinary talent and courage, and naturally you have some ambitions. Otherwise, you can be at ease among the green mountains and green waters of the Ul country, so why come here to set foot in the red world? ”

"General Zhaoyun said so, but Gu Mou's is not right? But if I want to say that Gu Mou is here for a confidant at first sight, and wants to really play in this Yue City? Gu Xi looked at her with a smile, and said lightly: "General Yun can't believe it?" ”

"A confidant at first sight? Does it mean that the prince is Heng? Yun Yanzheng blinked, his expression was full of playfulness, and he said: "Heng Wang Ye Yushu is in the wind, talented, and naturally has the ability to make people feel familiar at first sight." But ......" She suddenly stared at his eyes for a long time before she smiled lightly: "But according to my observation of Brother Gu's face, he doesn't look like such an amorous person." ”

"Oh?" Gu Xi's smile slightly stained the depths of his eyes, and he asked, "It turns out that General Yun, you can still look at your face?" ”

"I once worshipped the master, so naturally I know a little bit about it." Yun Yan was calm and relaxed. The ghost knows, which master did she worship?

"What else does General Yun want to learn?" Gu Xi suddenly changed the conversation again, and his tone was full of carelessness. His people sat in front of her, but they were like a light white cloud on the horizon, allowing people to reach out and grasp it, but they couldn't seem to grasp it firmly.

Under the thick green shade, the woman's back was to the streamer, and her elegant and beautiful face was hidden in the shadows, but the eyes were clear, and there was a starlight hidden in them that would not stop until the goal was achieved.

"What Brother Gu knows, General Ben doesn't know; What Brother Gu can teach, what he can learn, can be learned. As if excited by his tone, Yun Yan's long eyebrows raised into his temples, with a little awe-inspiring sharpness. Her tone was neither respectful nor humble, she was the eldest princess of a country, she was the commander of a hundred thousand armies. Her sharp eyes flashed, and she asserted, "How about just a year?" ”

"How about a month?" Gu Xi's smile was as faint as before, and Ruoxue's gauze reflected his steady expression, and the clouds were light and breezy. It seems that no matter how powerful a person is, no matter how troublesome the world is, he will cut off the edges and corners without a trace in the most calm and relaxed posture, and smooth out the anxiety.

One month. Yun Yanzheng stared at him expressionlessly, her hands were only worth a month for him? Even so, he didn't refuse outright, so her ruthlessness still depended. She narrowed her eyes slightly, the slight gap was what she would take, and the slight profit was what she would get, and she said in a leisurely tone: "In this world, although you can't let Brother Gu's head bleed, but the crowd of gold and the accumulation of broken bones will always make people unable to escape and avoid." ”

For her thoughts, Gu Xi is natural and transparent. The woman in front of her applied his medicine and washed it off with water, allowing her hands to fester. As smart as she is, she must know in her heart that you must use extraordinary means to deal with extraordinary people.

What she wants to plan is a kind of heart-wrenching and ruthlessness of those who have achieved great things. She must have known that he had calculated the best and the worst of the results, or that he had taken pity on her request; Or the hands he watched mercilessly as she festered beyond recovery.

Gu Xi smiled quietly, and just when she thought he would compromise, she heard the voice ringing in her ears unhurriedly, like a mirror lake without a trace of ripples: "One month." ”

He didn't change a word, but if there were calm bystanders around, there was a slight suspicion of connivance in his smile. Gu Xi had a lazy smile on his face, his eyes were soft and soft, and he said calmly: "General Yun is not afraid of backfiring and forcing Gu to switch to the enemy country?" In the enemy country, this thing that cannot be saved will become a credit. General Yun should also know that the direction of the rumors can also be changed. ”
