Chapter 11: Talking Nonsense with Your Eyes Open
Gao Sheng suddenly asked with concern: "Little Cicada, you have traveled thousands of miles from Ningzhou to Tiandu City to take up your new position, and now you have a place to live?" β
Although the bad guy and the night envoy are working under the same roof, the former is not less under the latter's eyes and arrogance.
At this time, Gu Changan cracked the "Caochuan Explosion Case" on the spot, and blew up the Hanging Mirror Hall, which symbolized the monstrous official authority of the Palm Night Envoy, into ruins, and blew up a group of Palm Night Envoys to the point that people were turned upside down, which greatly gave him a bad handsome face.
Although his smile was not exaggerated, his heart was like eating honey, and even his title to Gu Changan changed from "Xia Xiao Cicada" to a more intimate "Little Cicada".
Gu Changan just smiled indifferently: "Don't bother with being handsome." Well, I still have a relative's family in the capital to go to on this day. β
Gao Sheng was slightly surprised: "You have relatives in Tiandu City?" Can you tell me where you came from? β
Listening to the gossip of the two, Han Dongting, Ling Xuzi, and Baili Qiushui also looked at each other curiously.
Gu Changan looked around at everyone, a hint of wisdom flashed in his eyes, and then he said:
"Oh, it's not enough to publicize the ugliness of the family! But since Gao Shuai asked, then I, the lowly one, will say a few more words.
"I have a beautiful and jealous aunt in this capital, who was in love with my father back then, so she married my second uncle. Whenever she sees me, she will remember that it was my mother who robbed my father, so she has always regarded me as a thorn in the flesh.
"You say, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the three cousins born to her and my second uncle are naturally not fuel-efficient lamps.
"The eldest sister born to my aunt committed a lone star in her life, and killed two husbands in a row, and now she has a dowry of millions and no one dares to ask for it.
"The second sister was very autistic all her life, and she didn't like to talk to people, and then she went up the mountain with a bald nun to practice, which also matched her temperament.
"As for the last brother, he is simple-minded, has well-developed limbs, and is usually a little demented and crazy, and he likes to talk nonsense. However, because he had no brute strength, he later went to take care of the home of a rich man, which was barely a little more normal than usual. β
Gao Sheng and Ling Xuzi were a little stunned when they heard this, it seems that this big family is a little abnormal.
Only Baili Qiushui listened to the willow eyebrows, with a speechless expression.
Gao Sheng's regret continued, and he reminded casually: "That little cicada, don't play too late tonight's Shangyuan Night, remember to come to the Yamen of Guangming Temple on time tomorrow." β
"Okay, then I'll quit first."
Gu Changan hugged his fists and saluted, then walked away with a smile.
Originally, he was still worried about whether he should go back to the Gu Mansion in Beijing tonight for the holiday.
Now on the first day of coming to Guangming Temple, he easily solved a big case that shook the palace. With this good start, his courage naturally swelled several times.
So will this Jingzhong Gu Mansion go back? Of course, you have to go back, and you have to go back in style.
Outside the gate of the official office of Guangming Temple, Chen Xuanzong had been waiting under a stone lion for a long time, and when he saw Gu Changan coming out, he turned around and said, "Young master, they didn't embarrass you, right?" β
Gu Changan smiled and said, "No." Let's go back to the house, celebrate the Yuan Festival, and have a reunion dinner. β
Before a master and a servant had taken ten steps away, a woman's cold voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Gu Changan, please stayβ"
Gu Changan stopped, turned around, and saw the two of them follow out of the official office of Guangming Temple, and the person who spoke was a hundred miles of autumn water in a white robe.
Faced with her calling her name, Gu Changan was not surprised at all, after all, it was Queen Dugu who ordered him to go thousands of miles to Beijing to come to Guangming Temple for training, and this Baili Qiushui was a big celebrity in front of her, so it was impossible not to know anything about it.
Gu Changan smiled and asked, "Qiushuijun, I don't know if you have any advice?" β
Baili Qiushui looked Gu Chang'an up and down again, frowned and said, "Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven ordered you to come to the Guangming Temple to practice, naturally to let you join the Palm Night Envoy, but why did you wear the clothes of a bad person?" β
Bad people, bad people, firstly, the name is not good, and secondly, the reputation is also bad.
Although Gu Changan is the illegitimate son of the Gu family, he is also the son of the Gu family, and his father is Gu Yanlie, the general of the Shenlongwei who is now the second grade, and the three sisters and brothers have half of the blood of the Dugu family, and they have some relatives with the royal family. Now Gu Changan is not in charge of the night envoy, but he has become a bad person, which is really strange in the eyes of Baili Qiushui.
"Aren't bad people bad? I think bad people are very good, people here speak well, and there are not so many stinky rules, I like it here. Gu Changan was half hard-mouthed, half ridiculous.
Baili Qiushui was silent for a moment and sighed: "Okay, you go back first." β
Gu Changan and Chen Xuanzong turned around and left.
"In just half a day, I have solved a big case that made Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven angry, it seems that this Gu family elder does have two brushes."
By Baili Qiushui's side, Deputy Envoy Jin Luanwei, who had a black mole on his chin, looked at the back of the two of them leaving, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Do you know where the servant next to him came from?" Baili Qiushui suddenly threw another question.
The deputy envoy said blankly: "My subordinates don't know." β
Baili Qiushui looked far away, and said lightly: "His name is Chen Xuanzong, and he is the only heir of the Chen family's sword mound." More than ten years ago, he had a conflict with the four ghosts of Mangshan, and a sword qi not only crushed the four ghosts of Mangshan into powder, but also split the towering Mangshan in half, opening up a canal, and since then the Longjiang River and the Mujiang River, which have never been in contact with each other, have been navigated. β
The deputy envoy was stunned: "But there are rumors in the market that the thirty-mile-long canal was shaken by an earthquake, and I have always believed it to be true. β
Baili Qiushui had a sneer on his face and shook his head.
The deputy envoy couldn't help but ask: "Since this Chen Xuanzong has such the power to move mountains and reclaim the sea, isn't it on a par with the above?" β
Although he didn't know who the "above" were, both of them knew it.
Baili Qiushui said meaningfully: "It may not be possible to wait for it, but this Chen Xuanzong has such a profound cultivation, it is enough to be called a dragon among people." β
The deputy envoy muttered: "The dragon among men......"
Baili Qiushui's words changed: "Then do you know what is the most confusing thing for me?" β
The deputy envoy followed her words and asked, "What is it?" β
Baili Qiushui looked at the end of the long street, and said quietly: "That is, Chen Xuanzong is willing to be a sword slave for a son like Gu Changan." β
β¦β¦
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan Festival.
The streets and alleys of Tiandu City are lit up with lanterns and lanterns of all kinds.
Gu Changan had already foreseen the lively scene of tourists and lights like a sea at night.
Chen Xuanzong, who was dressed in a black robe, followed Gu Chang'an, and his face was as indifferent as iron as he had been for more than three thousand days and nights in the past.
Gu Changan had long been accustomed to this, but at this time, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness that the white horse had passed by, and he couldn't help asking, "Old Chen, how long have you been with me?" β
Chen Xuanzong's face was expressionless: "Nine years and six months." β
In the blink of an eye, nine and a half years have passed......
I still remember the first encounter.
He asked, "Lao Chen, are you a peerless master?" β
Chen Xuanzong only replied with a cold face: "You guess." β
At that time, Gu Changan was happy: You swordsman is quite individual! I don't know if the master doesn't know, at least there is a master's pretending to be a fan, and he is majestic wherever he goes. Yes, this son will accept you today.
In the past, although Gu Changan was full of wealth, he had no power to restrain the chicken, but since he had the sword of Chen Xuanzong, the latter slaughtered mountain thieves, swept water bandits, beheaded tiger demons, and killed snake spirits for him.
They are one civilian, one martial, one master and one servant, and they basically walk sideways in the Jiangnan territory.
Now that he has left the family fiefdom and rushed all the way to Tiandu City, Gu Changan feels more and more that those days are gone.
Without waiting for Gu Changan to speak again, Chen Xuanzong took the lead and said: "Young master, you and I made a ten-year blood talisman contract, and I will be your sword slave for ten years. Now the deadline is only the last half a year, and I will leave in half a year. β
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
Gu Changan replied somewhat absent-mindedly.
If Chen Xuanzong's invincible sword really left, he would really have to think about how he would cultivate. After all, it is still difficult to establish a life in this world with just a few talents, and the difficulty of improving force has always been a pain point for him.
