When he saw Cheng Yuanzhen, Gu Zuo was very rare, he had never seen such a fat person, leaning on the couch, like a round ball, if it wasn't for his head exposed, he wouldn't be able to see that the other party was leaning at all.

After Gu Zuo took a seat, Cheng Yuanzhen asked the maid to serve tea, and said with a smile: "Gu Changshi is really difficult to invite, our family posts to invite people, and there are few times when you can't be invited." ”

Gu Zuo said: "I'm really sorry, Gu is going to Zhongnan Mountain to participate in the deliberations of the Chongxuan Bureau, so he is late, and I hope the court envoy will forgive me." "He is now an official in the history of the Sipin Wangfu, and he has obtained a large fief, and he belongs to one of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, so there is no need to call himself a "lower official".

Cheng Yuanzhen waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, our family is not a person who puts a shelf, I invited Gu Changshi to come today, nothing else, I just want to ask, Gu Changshi is far away in a remote place in Nanzhao, is there any difficulty, if there is, say it and know with our family, no matter what difficulties, I can help you be accommodating." ”

Gu Zuo was very surprised, and thought about it in his mind, he didn't feel that he had any dealings with Cheng Yuanzhen before, or what relationship he could have with before, could it be because of Gao Lishi?

Cheng Yuanzhen smiled: "Our family doesn't mean anything else, we just want to make friends with Gu Changshi." I had heard King Guangping mention Gu Changshi before, and our family has admired Gu Changshi for a long time. ”

"King Guangping?" Gu Zuo was still a mush.

Cheng Yuanzhen nodded and said: "King Guangping is the most Lixian corporal, he admires Gu Changshi very much, and our family also admires it...... Hehe, yes, Gu Changshi came from Nanzhao, and his stay in Beijing was short, maybe he didn't know that the emperor's grandson was promoted to the king of Guangping last year. ”

Gu Zuo finally understood that this King of Guangping should be the eldest son of the crown prince, and Cheng Yuanzhen, Gu Zuo's impression seemed to be the King of Guangping, it turned out that they had already come together, and they wanted to win them over. It's just that I don't know if this world, the authoritarian and prominent eunuchs will reappear brilliant in the future.

"Gu Mou thanked the envoy of the Guangping King and the Academy, and he was very honored. ”

"Gu Changshi don't be formal, we will make friends today, that is, friends, when will Gu Changshi return to Southern Wuzhou?"

"Almost today, or tomorrow, there are a lot of things to take care of at home, and I can't stay in Beijing for a long time. ”

Cheng Yuanzhen nodded, stretched out his hand to beckon, and two eunuchs came in behind the screen, each holding a large tray, and on the tray was a three-layer gold bill.

"This is Cheng Yi given to Gu Changshi by the King of Guangping on behalf of our family, and please don't dislike Changshi. ”

The gold bills on the tray are ten taels each, and the two trays add up to almost fifty, worth five thousand yuan, Cheng Yuanzhen gave it to him with five hundred gold, and when he met for the first time, such a valuable Cheng Yi was also quite amazing.

But Gu Zuo just spent money like running water, hundreds of thousands of guan went out in the blink of an eye, five thousand yuan of this kind of small money, I really can't look down on it, you can buy him if you want to, but you have to go to the hard dish!

Therefore, he refused: "Such a heavy feed, hehe, Gu Moushi doesn't dare to accept it." ”

Cheng Yuanzhen said with a big grin: "A little heart, Gu Changshi Mo wants to resign, although there are spiritual stone veins in Nanwu Prefecture, I heard that 50,000 yuan need to be handed over to the Chongxuan Department every year, and there is not much left, and the burden is extremely heavy...... As long as Gu Changshi can always thank the little prince for his grace in the future, the annual gift will definitely not be less than this amount, and it can also solve the urgent need of Southern Wuzhou. ”

If Nanwu Prefecture is just an ordinary Taoist hall, it should support 5,000 yuan every year, which is indeed a lot, but it is a pity that it seems that whether it is King Guangping or Cheng Yuanzhen, the cognition of Nanwu Prefecture is still a year ago, and I don't realize that since yesterday, Nanwu Prefecture is no longer the Nanwu Prefecture of the past.

Gu Zuo insisted on not accepting it, Cheng Yuanzhen insisted on giving, and in the end, Cheng Yuanzhen was a little unhappy: "Could it be that Gu Changshi is too little?"

Gu Zuo smiled: "Hehe...... How dare you...... There is an old saying, send goose feathers for thousands of miles, the courtesy is light and important, no matter how light the gift is, it is a heart, how dare Gu dislike it?"

Cheng Yuanzhen said: "What does Gu Changshi mean?"

Gu Zuo said: "It's not interesting, if there is anything to do with the envoy of the Cheng Academy, just give me an order, this little bit of heart, Gu Zuo just keeps it in mind." ”

Until Gu Zuo was sent out of Baisun Courtyard, Cheng Yuanzhen was still puzzled and muttered, "What do you mean?"

A young eunuch next to him interjected: "It seems that it is really a light courtesy." ”

"What?"

"Didn't the surname Gu say it clearly? goose feathers, courtesy, affection and righteousness. ”

Cheng Yuanzhen was in the game just now, and when he was reminded at this moment, he suddenly woke up and said angrily: "Five thousand is still too little? How can there be such a greedy person in the world! A mere governor of Nanwu is so greedy that he will definitely not be able to achieve great things, and such a villain will not be able to hand it over!"

Gu Zuo was also angry when he left, Lao Tzu said so clearly, is the surname Cheng a pig brain? Why can't he understand it? But judging from his appearance, he is really a pig.

Coming out of Xingning Fang is Tonghua Gate, out of Tonghua Gate and turning north, according to Li Yu's guidance, came to Dongshan, found the hidden garden in the layers of green forests.

Yucheng Sanren looked a few years older than Gu Zuo, and after seeing Li Yu's letter, he smiled: "My senior brother rarely takes care of others...... Well, it's not that he's indifferent to life, but his mind is focused on big things, and he doesn't have that spare energy. Since he asked you to do it, there's no problem if you want to read. ”

Take Gu Zuo all the way, pass through Tingxiang Pavilion, Dengxiantai, Stargazing Tower, etc., a two-story stone building appears in front of you, this stone building is a whole boulder, hollowed out in exquisite ways, it looks quite simple. The horizontal plaque on the stone gate or stone cave reads the words "Stone Canal View".

Gu Zuo stopped, looked at the stone building, and the clear spring on the stone in the Yunshui Hall on Zhongnan Mountain appeared in front of him, and he always felt that the two seemed to be of the same origin. But he didn't have more time to ponder, and the people of Yucheng Sanren had already led him into the stone canal view.

The book Gu Zuo was looking for was indeed there, and it was hidden in a corner on the second floor, called "A Guide to the Art of Spreading Beans into War".

Yucheng Sanren smiled and found a stone bench to sit down, and let Gu Zuo flip through the book. This book is not a practice, but a brief overview of the Dao system of sprinkling beans into soldiers, so that people can understand it when they encounter it. The true Taoism has been lost for many years.

Spreading beans into soldiers is not a simple Taoist technique, but a collection of similar Taoist techniques to become a system. Gu Zuo was immersed in it, and half an hour passed at once. After reading it, Gu Zuo understood more and more in his heart that his Infinite Dao Weapon and Spreading Beans into Soldiers were by no means the same Dao Technique, Scattering Beans into Soldiers borrowed the doppelganger phantom of the Heavenly Divine Soldier, while his Infinite Dao Martial Arts were self-cultivated entities, which were completely two concepts.

However, flipping through this book also gave him a good reference on how to modify his technique and make the Infinite Dao Martial Arts look more like the Spreading Beans into Martial Arts.

Today's Gu Zuo was very busy, and after declining the invitation of the Yucheng Sanren to leave him to have dinner together, he returned to the city again, went to Tongda Pawn Shop to greet the three ladies and rushed to Shouwang's mansion together, and met the Shouwang couple who had been looking forward to it for a long time.

King Shou pulled Gu Zuo's sleeve and said repeatedly: "Changshi can be regarded as coming, and I want to wear it alone!"

Gu Zuo smiled and asked, "Can you get ready?"

King Shou said: "It's already ready, just wait for Changshi to come." He turned around and instructed the housekeeper to prepare a meal, saying that he was going to get drunk with Gu Zuo.

Gu Zuo said: "Just use a little bit casually, drink less, you can't get drunk, let Qingyuan and Wu Guogong eat their stomachs, and leave after eating, let's set off overnight." ”

Princess Shou next to her let out an "ah", and the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground.
