After the girl left, all the subordinates moved their eyes to Wan Ning and Gao Ziang, waiting for their orders. Gao Ziang said to Yi'er: "Yi'er, you take someone back first, and I'll go with Wanning." ”

"Yes, young master."

Xiao Feiyan also said to Ning Zhu: "Let's go back first." ”

"Okay." The beads should be attached.

As soon as the people left first, Gao Ziang took Wanning's hand and walked slowly on the forest path. The sun had passed noon, and there was a breeze from time to time. Sunlight shines through the dense foliage, dappling the path. There was no sound around, only the sound of the wind, the sound of falling leaves, and the sound of breathing could be heard. Time stood still because of Gao Ziang's long gaze, and everything around him seemed to disappear in a kiss full of affection.

Wan Ning and Gao Ziang walked to the lake and stopped, and the slim lotus flowers standing upright in the breeze came into view. The two sat down together, the water of the lake was clear and turquoise, and the occasional wind lifted the lake to scatter a circle of ripples in all directions. The lotus flowers not far away, the breeze blows, sending wisps of fragrance.

Wan Ning, who was relying on Gao Ziang, walked out of the beautiful scenery in front of her, a trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes, and said: "If you come forward to fight for your sister and do this kind of dirty thing of street fighting, you will definitely be scolded by your father when you go home." ”

Gao Ziang was a little worried but said leisurely: "Don't worry, he won't care about this kind of trivial matter." ”

"Really? Uncle doesn't care about you like this. ”

"Well, don't worry."

Gao Ziang hugged her tightly for a long time, and said slowly: "A weak woman with two maids fights in a group, and only my sister Wan can do this." ”

Wan Ning was ashamed and buried her face in his arms: "Brother, you laugh at me!" ”

Gao Ziang habitually took her into his arms: "I'm not laughing at you, I'm worried about you." How can you not suffer a loss? ”

"They didn't say anything, how did I know it was a fight."

"Silly girl, you know it's not a good thing, can they say it clearly?" After a moment of silence, Gao Ziang picked up a small pebble and threw it lightly, and the pebble fell into the lake, making a small plopping sound. Seeing that the lake was gradually calming down, he added, "They are here to fight." Some people have nothing to do on weekdays, find a reason to fight, and pass the boring time. In such cases, it is inevitable to use force to solve the problem, and it will not make sense for you to reason with them. ”

Wan Ning sighed: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen in a place like Chang'an. ”

Gao Ziang's appearance ruined Zuo Kun's good deeds, and he was indignant in his heart. As soon as Zuo Kun got home, he complained to Zuo Linghong. He said that he wanted to take a concubine, but he was disturbed by Gao Ziang. This Zuo Kun also relied on his father as an official, and the side where Zhang Jinze was beaten was not as angry as him.

Zuo Linghong looked at his son's appearance, and he also wanted to ask him for an explanation. Although he was hindered by Gao Junming's official position being much higher than himself, he still found Gao Junming and said what was in his heart: "Kun'er just wants to take a concubine, and your precious son just won't let his good deeds succeed." ”

"What's going on?" Gao Junming asked in surprise.

"It's not that Kun'er wants to take a concubine, Li Wanning just won't let it, Ling Gongzi helps Li Wanning, his manpower is really powerful! beat people down in a few clicks, which didn't make Kun'er's affairs yellow. ”

Gao Junming knew that his son would not do anything unreasonable, let alone do it. He asked uncertainly, "Presumably the woman doesn't want to, right?" ”

"There are a few people who don't want this woman to get on the sedan chair, and they are all pretended."

Zuo Linghong's words were quite a bit of a street matchmaker, and Gao Junming couldn't help but glance at him.

But when he said this, it was certain that the woman was unwilling, a typical robber of the people's daughter. He thought in his heart, his son just did nonsense, and when Lao Tzu didn't have any concept of right and wrong, he came to me to ask for guilt! At this moment, he just wanted to save face, and said: "Lord Zuo, children are playing, why should you be serious?" Another day, the official personally took the dog to the house to make amends. ”

Where did Zuo Linghong dare to let the important ministers go to his house to make amends, and hurriedly said: "That's not necessary, it's just that Xiao'er is angry in his heart!" Zuo Linghong pondered for a moment and said, "Ling Gongzi did this, most likely because of Li Wanning, right?" The Li family and the Gao family are married, and it is really a good marriage. It's really a strong alliance and relying on each other. ”

The information embodied in Zuo Linghong's last sentence was keenly captured by Gao Junming, and he was undoubtedly jealous.

Gao Junming returned to the Gao Mansion and happened to meet Yi'er, who was waiting for the young master's return. When Yi'er saw him, she hurriedly greeted him: "The master is back, the master is good." ”

"Hmm."

Yi'er, please be safe. Gao Junming looked at him, and in normal times, the master would not look at a subordinate a few more times. This made Yi'er a little uneasy, could it be that the old master already knew about the young master's fight? He glanced at Gao Junming timidly, he didn't seem to be angry.

The old man came back, and Yi'er was even more worried about the young master, so he waited for him to come back at the door. After an hour of anxious waiting, he finally returned. Yi'er immediately greeted him: "Young master, the master has come back a long time ago, he should know about your fight." ”

Gao Ziang hurriedly asked, "Is he angry?" ”

Yi'er shook her head and hesitated: "I can't see it, it doesn't seem to be." ”

"Where is he? In the study? ”

Yi'er immediately replied, "The master is in the study." ”

Gao Ziang came to Gao Junming's study and knelt down with a plop: "Say hello to my father." ”

"What's the matter? Kneel when you meet. Gao Junming asked suspiciously.

Gao Ziang respectfully and honestly confessed: "My son picked quarrels and provoked trouble, led people to quarrel with people in the woods in the suburbs, and even made a move. came to ask for guilt, but the son did not hurt the innocent, and there were no casualties. ”

"Get up, I've heard about it." He paused, "You're for Li Wanning, right?" ”

Gao Zi stood up and defended Wan Ning: "Wan Ning didn't know that she was going to fight, and her son was worried that she might suffer." ”

"Okay, I know everything, you go down."

At this moment, Gao Ziang was completely sure that his father was not angry: "Yes, father, the son is retiring." ”

In this incident, what worries Gao Junming the most is not that Gao Ziang came forward to fight to help Li Wanning, but what will happen after the marriage of the two families.

Gao Junming sensed the crisis, and now Li Zhenghang and Gao Junming are the two highest forces in the DPRK and China, and the marriage of the two important ministers will inevitably lead to disaster. Colleagues are red-eyed, and the emperor's level is even more sad, what will the emperor think, he will inevitably be jealous, and he will lose both. Weakening the power of one side is a good thing for everyone, not to mention that Li Zhenghang's power is even greater than his own.
