I went out of the court and came to the rivers and lakes
The two had already arrived at the Gu house during the conversation, and the Gu family could be said to cover the sky with one hand and go in and out of the Dongyue Kingdom. The ancestral house in this Changning Lane covers an area of thousands of miles, with high mountains and flowing water, and the houses are like that. The lion color hydrangea in front of the door, the copper door is mottled, like the old man through the wrinkles of time and flowing water, waiting quietly for the past, and not talking.
At that time, the National Congress was unified, and the Son of Heaven guarded the heavens on behalf of the gods and herdsmen. Later, there was a great change, and the world was also unified and divided, and it became a situation in which the four countries were facing each other offensively and defensively, and were in a stalemate. As for how to divide the country back then, it has become a tacit secret of the royal family of the four countries, and it has also become a blank history today.
For the general public, history is a piece of conversation that has passed, and it is their concern now and in the future. What's more, they vaguely feel that they don't seem to know enough about this history. I heard from the older generation that in the past, man and god coexisted, and the gods were high up, enjoying the worship of human beings and exerting protection on human beings. Nowadays, the way of the world is very different, and those who are not supernatural cannot invite God to come down to earth.
It's just that when the young people continue to ask, there is actually no threat in the world, why should God protect it? The old people are often dumbfounded for a long time, and there are some extremely vague and terrifying existences in their minds, but they just can't say it, as if the gods and Buddhas of the heavens have imposed a ban on that name, and the words can't come out of their mouths. The conversation often ends here, and the young people disperse, leaving the old ones still pondering the name they are destined to never touch again in their lives.
With the accumulated momentum of the Gu family, the generals of the Gu family seemed to have no idea about this history. Maybe the old man who is called the Dongyue of the world knows it, or maybe he doesn't know it.
"Old Gu, old Gu" Gu Qingcheng shouted as soon as he returned to Gu's mansion. In fact, there are not many people in the Gu Mansion thousands of miles away, and the generals lead troops outside all the year round and garrison the border. There is only one person who can live in his parents, Gu Tingcheng.
The old man who was called Lao Gu by him was a veteran of a hundred battles in the Dragon Armor Army, and for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, only half of his body remained, and the old man's room was busy in the war. has nothing to worry about, so he asked the little grandfather who was willing to go to Beijing to take care of the young man who stayed in the house. That's 10 years.
A strange-looking old man trotted over with extremely uncoordinated steps. Gu Xingyue looked at half of this person's metallic body glowing with dark light. I can't help but be a little moved.
As soon as Gu Qingcheng saw the old man, he stepped forward, stretched out his hand to put his arm around the old man's neck, helped cut half of his hair, and said, "Old Gu, look, Seventh Brother is back."
The old man seemed to have only seen Gu Xingyue at this time and nodded.
Gu Xingyue stepped forward and bowed respectfully, shouting, "Uncle, Xingyue comes back to ask for peace."
The old man patted Gu Qingcheng with a smile, and said to Gu Qigongzi: "Ah Yue, stay for a few more days, take care of Xiao Jiu"
Gu Xingyue glared at Gu Qingcheng, who immediately let go of his hand. The old man rubbed his hands together and laughed.
Immediately, the old man frowned, and stopped Gu Tingcheng, who had just realized that something was wrong and wanted to slip away: "Xiao Jiu, didn't you go to the public test, why did you run back?" ”
Gu Tingcheng's eyes rolled and said: "Old Gu, as soon as I go out, I will immediately provoke three killers, and the passing year is not good, no, after three years, take a good day and try again."
The old man's eyes widened, and he was about to scold, but when he saw that Gu Qingcheng had turned around and ran away, he immediately smiled and said to Gu Xingyue: "It's a smart kid."
Gu Xingyue nodded and did not speak. He'd seen enough of the assassin just now.
A figure suddenly flashed out like a ghost, and said coldly: "The Ninth Master seems to have packed his luggage and left the house."
The old man just wanted to chase after him, but he stopped thinking of something temporarily, turned to Gu Xingyue and said, "The three assassins just now are definitely not the Red Flag Army."
The figure said coldly: "No"
Gu Xingyue nodded to the ghost: "The Yin Commander is so sure, presumably Tai Chi Wei already has a clue."
"The palace has issued 12 secret decrees to summon the Seventh Grandfather back to Beijing, so what's going on, the Gu family knows it, the war over there has just started, as long as the Dragon Armor Army is there, Chiqi will never dare to send people into Beijing to make trouble"
Gu Xingyue sighed and replied to the question: "Xiao Jiu has been in the tide for ten years, and the ability of the lower nine streams seems to be not bad."
The old man smiled and said, "The tiger talisman is gone? ”
Gu Shenlong nodded.
When Gu Tingcheng came to the city gate, the sky was close to dawn, and the number of pedestrians gradually increased. He was not in a hurry, he walked slowly and leisurely, in the suburbs outside the city, and it was still early. The crowd gradually thinned out.
Under the willow tree next to the moat, an old Taoist priest with a fairy wind was looking at him with a smile.
Gu Qingcheng muttered to himself: "This person knows everything, is it an old monster?" "It's not loud, but it's hard for others to hear it.
The Taoist priest was born with a very good temper, and a friend who was in the same way as the journal once jokingly gave him the nickname "Divine Statue" to describe this person's mud bodhisattva-like temperament. Extremely appropriate.
Hearing Gu Chengcheng's words, he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and created a small world to isolate prying eyes.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the old Taoist's handy little magical powers, and was not surprised: "The immortal Dao of cultivation is not free in any way."
The old Taoist priest still smiled: "Xiu Xian asked, how can you be free when the heavens and the earth look at it, in order to be free when you want to be free from the world."
Gu Qingcheng grinned and said, "Then I don't know why Daoist Li came here, do you want me, a scholar, to believe in the Immortal Dao Law?" Although the world has been cut off, Li Daochang blurted out three words, and there are still some echoes in this small world.
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said: "If there is more Gu Tingcheng cultivating in the world, it may not get better, but if there is more Gu Tingcheng studying, it will probably be better." It's a good thing for young people to read more books and walk more."
Gu Qingcheng was a little surprised: "You won't catch me back?" ”
The old Taoist priest continued to shake his head: "You and I have been together in the Chaosheng Pavilion for more than ten years, and I won't let you come out, just because the time has not come."
Gu Qingcheng's eyes flashed, and he casually threw a square box over, and it fell into the hands of the Taoist as if it was being pulled by a rope.
But it is a military talisman, the tiger talisman of the 200,000 dragon armor army of the Dongyue Kingdom.
Gu Tingcheng suddenly became serious and said: "Now that the Gu family is in a situation, the Taoist must know that this tiger talisman cannot be returned by my Gu family, the Taoist has been working for the Li family for generations, and Qingcheng understands that he hopes that the Taoist will also contribute to the world."
The old Taoist priest suddenly felt a little sad: "I don't dare to bear the trust of my little friend" and then withdraw the ban. Gu Tingcheng only felt that the heavens and the earth were clear again.
I don't pay attention to that poor person anymore, the higher my cultivation, the more pitiful it is. After all, it's not like me, the spring breeze is once, let's go to Yumen.
In the court of Dongyue, the steward eunuch Hai Dagong led the two little taijian of the pen division to light the lamps and candles of the worship palace as early as the fifth watch, and personally compared the length of the wicks of all the candlesticks, calculated the time of adding oil, and after confirming that it was correct, he personally checked it twice, and then walked to the imperial study after the score was correct.
In front of the elm desk covered with yellow glazed cloth, there sat an old man over the age of six, dressed in the jewelry of the Son of Heaven, and the golden dragon on his chest was about to come out. It is Dongyue who is today's son - Yue Mingzong
The emperor saw the Grand Duke of Hai walking in, and seemed to be a little tired: "Hai Lao Dog, is it already dark?"
The Grand Duke of Hai stepped forward again and again, and the emperor saw that he was about to kneel, so he stopped. Hai Dagong and Mingzong have been together for more than ten years, and they know the temperament of the old emperor. chuckled: "Back to the emperor, it's already five watches"
The emperor looked at the bright yellow lights in the distance, the bright light swayed, he was silent for a long time, and said, "Has Gu Laoqi returned to Beijing?" ”
Grand Duke Hai bowed his head and said: "Yipintang has just received news that the Seventh General has returned, and the Ninth Grandfather seems to have left Beijing."
The Yellow Emperor turned his head to look at the Grand Duke of Hai and smiled softly: "Has the little monkey finally gone out?" ”
Grand Duke Hai knew the old emperor's special feelings for this ninth prince, but he smiled carefully and did not speak. The emperor said, "Pass it on, don't embarrass the children." Prince Xuan and King Ning entered the palace"
Subsequently, the eunuch passed down the first holy decree on the second day of the second month of February: Prince Yunzhen will listen to the government in the court from now on, Ning Wang Yunsheng and Gu Qi General Gu Xingyue will preside over the public examination of Jinke, select protégés on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and Prime Minister Fang Zhong will have full authority to handle the transportation of 1.2 million military salaries in the northwest.
The politics of the country are well developed, and when this holy decree reached the ears of Gu Qingcheng, who had just entered Los Angeles, it had already been a day.
"Is the presiding judge of the public test, soft and hard?"
Los Angeles extends in all directions, is the transportation hub of Dongyue and even the entire eastern continent, although it lacks the mighty and domineering of the imperial city, but it is better than the prosperity of the merchants of the nine provinces. Because of its extremely important geographical location, it is equivalent to the last barrier of the imperial city of Dongyue. The military and political government of East Vietnam once said with a smile that Los Angeles is the underwear of Da Yue.
The three generations of emperors of the Yue Kingdom attached great importance to the defense of Los Angeles and invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the construction. Because of this, the Yue people also called it Yajing.
Los Angeles is prosperous and the world knows that although the relations between the four countries are tense now, Da Yue does not ban private trade and commerce, so the merchants of the four countries can still be seen everywhere in Los Angeles. It's just that the people of Vietnam don't welcome it very much.
Thinking about it, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a little fat man sneakily following a group of businessmen, looking at the clothes and accessories, it seemed that he was from Nan'anguo. Gu Qingcheng's heart moved, and he also followed with the tail of the little fat man. I saw that these two groups of people didn't seem to be very upright.
Those Nan'an merchants first went to Dongshi to hire a good carriage, and then went to Nanshi to buy the best ice silkworm silk, and laid a few layers for the carriage, before helping the thinnest one in, and seeing that the figure was actually a woman.
However, what made Gu Qingcheng most curious was the little fat man, if he didn't target him from the beginning, I am afraid that he would not be able to follow him all the way, this person's means are really a bit much. It's just two markets, three streets away, this person has changed more than 10 people with different appearance characteristics, the most amazing thing is that these more than 10 people are tall, short, fat and thin, and even the temperament is completely different, from the brain-full of fat rich children to the poor and humble old lady with dizzy eyes, from rampant and domineering to submissive and willing to switch freely. There is no trace of it. It seems to be a little more powerful than the Thousand Transformations Fairy back then.
Just as Gu Qingcheng was staring at the little fat man's foot-picking man following the carriage, the little fat man suddenly said: "The mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, but the master doesn't want to be a praying mantis, it's a big deal" said that he lifted the burden on his shoulders, threw away his hat, and shouted loudly: "The carriage in front, a group of fake businessmen came out" and turned around and shouted "Yellow finch out"
Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but be a little amused and walked out.
The little fat man didn't seem to expect that such a boy would come out, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then glared again and smiled: "Where did you come from?"
Gu Tingcheng glanced at the group of people who were walking over, and also learned from the little fat man to stare and smiled: "I came out of the court and came to the rivers and lakes."
