Three days later, Gu Xu and Zhao Yan went to the grave of the late princess Qu Qingqiu of Dayan to pay respects.

Qu Qingqiu's grave sits on a lush hill on the outskirts of Jicheng.

It is small in scale, there are no long Shinto, and there are no delicately carved stone beasts.

There is only a high mound, a slightly rusty incense burner.

It doesn't look like the graveyard of a duchess at all, but like the grave of a common man.

Zhao Yan did not bring any entourage.

At the moment, the two of them stood alone in front of the tombstone, listening to the breeze rustle through the trees.

"Back then, my mother died in Luojing City in an unknown way," Zhao Yan said softly to Gu Xu, "When my father held her funeral, he didn't dare to say anything. I also complained that he didn't miss the old love. But now that he thought about it, maybe at that time, he had already guessed that Emperor Tianxing was the real murderer. ”

With that, she knelt down on her knees in front of the tombstone and kowtowed three times.

After getting up, he took out the three pillars of incense from the storage magic weapon and inserted it on the incense burner.

Green smoke rises and drifts into the blue sky.

"Mother, I'm coming to see you again."

After a short silence, Zhao Yan continued to look at the tombstone and muttered.

"I finally know who your killer was. He's too strong for me to beat. Zhao Changying was promoted to the eighth realm, but he was also defeated in his hands.

"But I keep trying.

"In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will let him pay with blood."

Gu Xu stood beside her and listened quietly without interjecting.

He knew very well that this was the moment when the mother and daughter were talking in private.

However, at this time, Zhao Yan suddenly led the topic to him.

"It was mine who came with me to see you today...... A friend of mine has a very good relationship," she stretched out her hand and pointed at Gu Xu, "His name is Gu Xu, and he is the leader of this year's 'Luoshui Conference'.

"I went to Luojing this year to look for 'flints'. But when I arrived at the Imperial Treasury, I found that the flint had been shattered into pieces. In the end, it was with his help that he succeeded in awakening the power of the bloodline.

"He is a very good person, not only is he good-looking, but he also has a strong cultivation talent, and before he is twenty years old, he has the cultivation of the fourth realm and the master-level rune attainment. In the same realm, even I can't beat him.

"But now, he was inexplicably accused of 'treason' by Emperor Tianxing, and was hunted down and killed by the Great Qi court, and almost died in Jingcheng...... If you have a spirit in heaven, you must bless him from this fate. ”

Zhao Yan's words were undoubtedly unexpected by Gu Xu, and he was quite embarrassed to praise him.

But seeing her hands clasped with ten fingers on her chest, her eyes clear and sincere, his heart was faintly moved.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yan stood in place and was silent for a long time, then reached out and pulled Gu Xu's sleeve: "Let's go back." ”

Gu Xu nodded.

The two of them took one last look at the tombstone, then turned and walked side by side in the direction of the Jicheng Palace.

Walk down the hill and through the woods, listening to the rustle of leaves.

Suddenly, the fingertips of the two accidentally touched each other.

Before Gu Xu could react, Zhao Yan grabbed his wrist tightly without warning, and then his palms touched and his fingers interlocked.

The warm, smooth touch came from his hands.

Gu Xu's footsteps paused, and he was at a loss for a moment, thinking about whether he should refuse her such a move.

Just when he was in a panic, Zhao Yan suddenly chuckled again and let go of his hand.

"I thought you were an engaged person, and you should be mature and steady in this regard," she said leisurely, "I didn't expect you to be like an innocent teenager, and if you tease you a little, your heart will be messed up." ”

"I'm not messing around," Gu Xu denied with a determined face, "I just didn't expect that someone as smart as Miss Zhao would be deceived by my acting skills." ”

He would never admit on such an occasion that he was a two-life virgin who even had his first kiss.

"Really?" Zhao Yan glanced at him.

Maybe it's because her fox eyes are too charming, and she looks at people with slanted eyes, which makes people feel like she is flattering.

…………

Two days later, two envoys from Daqi quietly arrived in Jicheng and appeared in front of the gate of the Great Yan Palace.

They politely claimed that they wanted to ask to see King Yan.

"They call our king 'King of Yan.'"

"Could it be that they have given up on dealing with us and intend to recognize Dayan as an independent country?"

The guards guarding outside the palace gate were full of thoughts.

They didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately rushed into the palace to report the matter to Zhao Changying.

Hearing the news, Zhao Changying behaved extremely calmly, as if this matter was completely expected by him.

He immediately ordered to receive these Great Qi envoys in the main hall of the Great Yan Palace, that is, the meeting room of the former Yan State Mansion.

At this time, compared to a few days ago, the blood on Zhao Changying's face seemed to have dropped a little.

The guard couldn't help but ask with concern: "Your Majesty, your body doesn't matter, right?" ”

"I'm in good health now," Zhao Changying raised her head and straightened her collar, "At least, it's not a problem to meet the two envoys." ”

"But—"

- Less nonsense. Great Qi sent envoys here to test our reality and reality. If I show my cowardice in front of them, then Dayan is finished. ”

The guard immediately lowered his head and said respectfully, "What the king has taught is this." ”

"By the way, you go and tell Gu Xu to wear a mask to attend today's court meeting," Zhao Changying then instructed, "If I guessed correctly, the reason why the Great Qi envoy wants to come to see me is most likely because of him." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

…………

On this day, Zhao Changying received the envoy of Qi in the main hall of the palace, and Gu Xu wore a black mask and mixed in the middle of many Great Yan subordinates to watch.

Saying.. Edition. 】

He found that the envoys sent by Daqi turned out to be his old acquaintances-

One is Liaozhou Prefecture Qianhu Que Juchang, and the other is Zhu Qiuyi, the chief soldier of Hedong Province.

The former used a dark arrow against him in Jingcheng, and the latter, with a halberd in his hand, drove him into a desperate situation with lightning-like and extremely terrifying speed.

After entering the hall, the eyes of the two Qi envoys kept scanning around—Gu Xu could guess that they must be looking for their traces.

However, Gu Xu's black mask is really powerful.

Their gaze lingered on him for only a moment, and then quickly looked away, as if he were just an unremarkable, non-existent passerby.

Then they walked up to Zhao Changying, bowed to him, and after a polite word, they went straight to the point and said their purpose:

"We came to Dayan to arrest the traitorous thief Gu Xu."
