"Master, Lord Gu asks to see you."

Zhao Yunliang happened to be in the study, discussing things with the Demon Lord.

The butler's voice sounded outside the door.

Zhao Yunliang was slightly displeased and said, "What is he doing at this time!" ”

This he didn't mean Gu Qingjue, but Gu Mingjue.

After speaking, he suddenly reacted, Gu Mingjue had been beheaded by Bao Zheng, and now there was only Gu Qingjue in the court.

"Take the people to the flower hall, and I'll be there."

"Yes."

Zhao Yunliang said suspiciously: "I met him when I was in the court, and I didn't have any intersection with him. ”

"Don't speculate on your own."

Zhao Yunliang nodded.

The Demon Lord said: "You must be cautious when you go to see him, he has the protection of the auspicious gods, even I don't dare to touch him." ”

"I know, do you want to avoid it first?"

"Don't worry, I won't go out here, I can hear your conversation clearly."

In this way, Zhao Yunliang got up and went to the flower hall, preparing to meet this Lord Gu who was in the middle of the court for a while.

When Zhao Yunliang arrived, Gu Qingjue was already sitting on the guest seat on the side, and on the table was the tea that had just been served by the subordinate, and he was holding the teacup and drinking it contentedly.

"Why does Lord Gu have time to come to my house today?"

"Lord Zhao, Ziyuan came to visit rashly, and there was a lot of disturbance."

Zhao Yunliang's mouth moved slightly, and after sitting down on the main seat, he picked up the tea next to him, and took a sip lightly, before looking at Gu Qingjue: "Lord Gu is now a hot figure in the court, you can come to my Zhao Mansion, my Zhao Mansion is full of glory." ”

Zhao Yunliang's tone and expression did not look like a welcome.

But Gu Qingjue didn't care.

He calmly untied the purse around his waist, and then took out the magic search stone that had turned from black to red from the purse and put it in the palm of his hand.

Zhao Yunliang didn't know any magic stones.

But his intuition told him that this stone, which he didn't recognize, was not simple.

Sure enough, before he could ask, he heard Gu Qingjue say, "Lord Zhao, do you know what this stone is?" ”

"Isn't it just a colored stone!"

Gu Qingjue smiled lightly, stood up with the stone, walked around the flower hall, walked out of the flower hall as he walked, and walked straight ahead, and that direction was Zhao Yunliang's study.

Zhao Yunliang hurriedly got up and chased after him, his eyes looking at Gu Qingjue's face for a while, and the stone in Gu Qingjue's hand for a while.

"Master Gu, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I just want Lord Zhao to see, the color of this stone is not dyed, you see, it will change, and it will become more and more red."

Zhao Yunliang's lips pursed stiffly.

I couldn't laugh if I wanted to, so I kept telling myself to calm down: "Master Gu, it's inconvenient for outsiders over there, so let's talk about something in the flower hall." ”

Gu Qingjue was very talkative, followed Zhao Yunliang back to the flower hall, and sat down in the position just now.

"Master Gu, what is the matter with you coming to me?"

"The stone in my hand, called the Demon Searching Stone, was originally a black stone, but it only turns red when the monster is close, and the closer it gets, the darker the color."

Zhao Yunliang couldn't laugh at all.

The face is as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Gu Ziyuan, what do you want to say?"

"Lord Zhao, isn't it good for us to be good people, why are we mixed with those unclean things? There is only one life, and if God is not careful and gives you another chance, then you must not desperately seize it. ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about!"

"Lord Zhao has great wisdom, he must be able to understand."

Gu Qingjue slowly put the magic search stone in his hand into his purse again, and took another sip of tea on the table before standing up and saying goodbye to Zhao Yunliang.

Zhao Yun's conscience set off turbulent waves.

He wanted someone to kill him and prevent him from leaving the mansion, but the order was stuck in his throat and could not be issued for a long time.

He has no evidence.

It must have scared him.

If he were to be killed now, the Emperor would surely find out about him.

The treasure map is not yet in hand.

Without money, how to recruit troops and buy horses, how to command the world.

In this way, Gu Qingjue came out of Zhao's mansion, rode back to Gu's mansion, and immediately called Dai Feihe into the study as soon as he entered the mansion.

"There is a demon in Zhao Yunliang's mansion, this has been confirmed."

Dai Feihe said: "But to say that Mrs. was besieged and killed by monsters yesterday, it was Zhao Yunliang who did it, and I can't be very sure." ”

"In this way, you inform Yang Junsheng ......"

Gu Qingjue discussed with Dai Feihe in the study for a full hour before Dai Feihe came out of the study.

Within two days, the news of Zhang Qi's serious illness spread to the streets and alleys of Kyoto.

Zhang Qi is one of the few people who is still alive and familiar with the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian.

When the Queen Mother was still outside the palace, in order to meet the first emperor, she arranged it through Zhang Qi, and Zhang Qi even arranged his mansion for the Queen Mother to live in, and recognized the Queen Mother as her sister.

Zhang Qi is seriously ill, and I don't know if the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian will go.

Another day, Zhang Qi has reached the point of dying.

Zhao Yunliang finally went out of the house to visit.

But it was not during the day, but at night, in the middle of the night, I secretly came to the mansion of Zheng Guogong.

It is very rude to visit the sick at night.

But the family is the emperor's family, and now he is back in Kyoto to report on his work, and the emperor has not shown his dissatisfaction with this Zhao Yunliang, so the housekeeper will invite people into the house.

"Grandpa Guo, Governor Zhao is here."

"Who?"

"It's Lord Zhao."

Zhao Yunliang opened the curtain and came in, Zhang Qi opened his dizzy eyes, and only then did he see clearly that it was Zhao Yunliang.

Zhao Yunliang nodded slightly to Zhang Qi, and said to the maid and housekeeper next to him: "You guys step back first, I have something to say to Guogong." ”

Zhang Qi didn't have much time.

He didn't come to his own detriment, so he asked the butler to go out with the people first.

After going out, Zhao Yunliang slowly walked to the bedside.

took a round wooden stool from the side and sat down, looking at Zhang Qi: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you are already so old!" ”

Zhao Yunliang's emotion, Zhang Qi did not feel inappropriate.

When Zhao Yunliang was in Kyoto, black and white were reversed, and few people had seen him, and this time it was not more than ten people who had never seen anyone.

"At the beginning, the more than ten years I lived in your mansion were really like a world away, but every time I think about it, I still feel that the ten years in your mansion were very beautiful."

Zhang Qi, who was lying on the bed, widened his eyes the more he listened.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"You, you...... Who are you? ”

"Brother forgot, the first emperor often came to the mansion to see me, it was all your help, otherwise I would have been driven out of Kyoto by Emperor Taizong, how could there be anything later. Thanks to your help, I have been able to enjoy the title for so many years! ”

Zhang Qi sat up from the bed tremblingly.

It took a lot of effort: "You are the Queen Mother?" (End of chapter)
