"It's as if it wasn't meant before. Cai Yan held his chin and fiddled with the walnut shells on the table with his hand, "Why don't you wait until you get here, is it because you have to fight...... You don't eat or sleep anymore?"

After all, Cai Yan understands things in the end, and knows that going out of the city to play at this time is really a bit of child's play, so she can only continue to watch the famous actors on the stage dance with a blank face, and Mr. Storyteller hides behind the screen, stroking the ruler clearly.

"How is the public loser now?" Cai Yan lay his head on the table, trying to find a casual conversation, "A few days ago, I saw the public loser on the street, riding a black horse with a majestic appearance, and the expression on his face was more stinky than the stones in the pit. ”

Gao Yishui shrugged: "It seems that it is impossible to expect you to have some morality in your mouth in this life, and people can now manage the entire Jinzhou soldiers and horses." However, if you look at him majestic, the actual Tang army has nearly 200,000 this time...... I heard that there is also known as the elite of the Tang Kingdom Shenwu Heavenly Army, that is even ordinary heavy cavalry can hardly break through the battle, once the battle, with Jinzhou's position must not be left alone, you are his words, can the expression be better? But when it comes to leading troops, this Jinzhou is afraid that no one can defeat the public, a few days ago your little apprentice came to me, clamoring for me to give him a contact relationship, want to join the army...... Why didn't he go to you?"

"Ahem...... He's not my apprentice, how many times have I said that. Qin Ke's face showed helplessness, and he waved his hand and said, "Probably I took a sword to the corner to scare him a few days ago." ”

After returning from the underground palace, Qin Ke's attitude towards Chu Gou was a little better, after all, he knew about using Chu Gou as an experimental specimen, and that stupid boy was still in the dark, always thinking that he had hit a big luck and met some rumored strange hermit. Not only Qin Ke, but even Yinxue felt a little sad after hearing about it.

Qin Ke sometimes sees the shadow of his childhood from Chu Gou, looking like he is relying on his master's love to kick his nose and face.

When he was a child, he jumped up and down on Daoxiang Village all day long, causing trouble. And his master, Zhuge Wolong, always stood by the wood door of their hut with a smile on his face, like a loving old father waiting for his children to come home for dinner......

After so long, he gradually understood why Zhuge Wolong used "fake death" to get rid of the golden cicada, he agreed with Cai Yan's statement, he believed that the master must have a last resort, so he would choose to let go of his hand at that node.

But he still has some questions, such as: Master's serious illness, sometimes vomiting blood and sometimes confusion...... It didn't look like he was playing, and the Master's breath gradually lost, and finally his body slowly became cold and stiff, and he held that body in a daze, from day to night, and from night to day......

The figure that had been waiting for him to come home by the Chai Gate for many years had since been replaced by a white morning glory that crawled all over the hedge, blooming in solitude every evening when the sun was setting in the west.

Seeing that Qin Ke was in a daze again, Cai Yan poked his head over and interjected, saying, "It's messed up like that outside, we're still listening to books and watching dramas and eating melon seeds here, isn't it a bit annoying?"

Gao Yishui raised his eyebrows: "I want to leave Jinzhou, but that thing is in the blast furnace, I have to go to see it once a day, what can I do?"

There was a bit of resentment in his words, but Gao Yishui quickly returned to his usual idle expression, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "At least the ability to lead troops is not bad, of course, there is still a difference of 108,000 miles with famous generals like Xiang Chu, Wang Xuanwei, and Gao Changgong, but if Jinzhou's defense is handed over to the hands of the public and the straw bag, I am afraid that if the Tang army comes, Jinzhou itself will have to collapse first." Gong Yiren is also thoughtful, and he really has good intentions to leave such a good arm for Gong Yinxue. ”

"Speaking of which, I'm still a little confused. Qin Ke came back to his senses and couldn't help but speak: "I understand that you pretended to be an assassin to assassinate Usuke, so that he mistakenly thought that it was Gong Yi to kill him, and turned to Gong Yi Cha, and then you quietly came up with a plan for Gong Shu to "assassinate me and Yinxue, and blame Gong Shu Cha", but why did Wu Zhu end up running to Gong Shiren's side?"

Gao Yishui hooked the corners of his mouth obliquely, squinted his eyes and said, "Run over?" No, no, no, Wuzhu was sent by me, okay." Of course...... It's not the kind of open-faced send-off, otherwise I would have been told by the public loser that these things were all picked up by me in the back, and I am afraid that I would have died in the hands of those worshippers of his public loser. Therefore, I secretly turned a corner and gave some news to the steward in the courtyard of the Gong Loss Inspector, in order to save the Gong Loss Inspector and clear up the grievances on the Gong Loss Inspector, he would naturally send Wu Zhu to the hands of the Gong Loser. ”

"It's just that I'm a little surprised that Gong Yiren didn't rush to overturn the case after receiving Wu Zhu. At first, I thought that for the sake of stability in the house, he would rather make mistakes and pass on the position to the public, but judging from his actions over the years, I feel that he must have other plans in his heart. Later, it turned out that my idea was correct, and you also know that the people who died in that heavy snow were more or less related to the public loss. Gong Yiren has been forbearing, step by step for the camp to clean up the hidden forces of the public loss investigation, and at the same time acquiesced to those forces that were originally biased towards the public loss inspection all fell to the public loss Yinxue, and finally the public loss Yinxue defeated the public loss investigation, established his authority, sat firmly in the position, and then sold this favor to the public loss inspection...... Tsk, really scheming. ”

Gao Yishui talked eloquently, Qin Ke scratched his head, and Cai Yan also explained to him on the side, only then did he sort out the context one by one, and on the other hand, he was even more amazed by the forbearance and calculation of the public loser.

"I feel a little reckless when I think about it now, I didn't expect that there was such a force hidden behind the back, which is also what I didn't expect that among the people who assassinated you, there would really be a master who even you find difficult to defeat...... Almost put you in danger. Thinking about it, if it weren't for Gong Yiren who wiped out these people in advance, I'm afraid that even if Gong Yinxue became the head of the family and imprisoned Gong Yi, it would be difficult for him to sit in this position. ”

After all, Gao Yishui is just an outsider, and his grasp of the entire overall situation of the public loser is still not as good as the public loser.

However, Gao Yishui's ability to arrange it to such an extent is enough to prove his strength.

But obviously Gao Yishui was dissatisfied with himself, and sighed: "I am not Zhuge Wanling after all, the case of Jing Wu destroying the embankment and flooding the fields, how many heads of famous scholars have been cut off, it seems to be rough, but in fact it is meticulous, if it is light, it will not achieve the effect, and if it is heavy, the entire Jingwu Dynasty may be subverted overnight." He just dared to let Gao Changgong leave Jianye City, negotiate with Sun Lao, the head of the scholar clan, alone, and hand over his safety to a paper agreement with Sun Lao, which is simply dancing on the tip of a knife, but he walked extremely calmly at every step, and he couldn't do it unless he was wise and brave. ”

"Sir is a good man, he is not such a calculating person...... Abu still insists on his own point of view, believing that Zhuge Wanling cannot arrange so many things.

"Yes, yes, yes. Your husband has always been a good man. Gao Yishui rolled his eyes, "But under the treachery of the court, the good people are the ones who die the fastest." ”

Qin Ke was impartial to such a quarrel between the two, because he could not only understand Abu's unconditional trust in Zhuge Wanling, but also feel the deep heart hidden under Zhuge Wanling's calm appearance, and his personal opinion was still more inclined to Gao Yishui's analysis.

"Anyway, don't go too far. Qin Ke frowned.

Gao Yishui secretly looked at his expression: "What's the matter?"

"You won't die if you talk well. Qin Ke said with a dark face.

Gao Yishui looked at Qin Ke's appearance, and felt even more interesting, and said with a smile: "You, at first glance, you are a novice in the flowers, you have to learn from me, like me, a veteran of the flowers, what I pay attention to is that I have been in the middle of a thousand flowers, and the leaves do not stick to the body, it seems that the love is sincere, but in fact there is no ......."

"Ruthless and unrighteous bastard!" At this moment, a crisp voice interrupted Gao Yishui's words.

In an instant, Gao Yishui's complexion changed wildly, and he hurriedly whispered to Qin Ke: "No, my stomach hurts, I have to go to the thatched house." ”

Then he bent over like an old monkey, covered his stomach, and hurriedly rushed to the backyard, and then Qin Ke saw a woman in a green shirt chasing after him.

The woman had a beautiful face, charming eyebrows and eyes, and her hair fluttering like clouds.

Many of the listeners in the teahouse chattered, and guessed which scene was sung in the end, which seemed to be more interesting to them than the stories told by Mr. Storyteller according to the book.

The storyteller on the stage looked at the situation, and naturally the book couldn't go on, so he coughed and went backstage to have a cup of tea and clear his throat.

Qin Ke looked at the situation in front of him stupidly, a little at a loss.

Cai Yan giggled, poked Qin Ke with his elbow, and said, "It's the first time you've seen it, right? That's Sister Nanyan." ”

Of course, Qin Ke had never heard of this name, but Cai Yan quickly began to explain: "Sister Nanyan was originally the Kao of Jinzhou, and Lao Gao took me and Abu to visit the green ...... that day."

By the time he said this, Abu's face had turned red, and Cai Yan's eyes were full of excitement.

After listening to Cai Yan's next story, he knew that their expenses had been covered by the public before, so Gao Yishui adhered to the principle of not spending anything in vain, and he was drunk with money to the extreme.

And that night, Gao Yishui took the two of them to see the world, went to Yanbo Building, spent a lot of money, and invited the top brand Nanyan to accompany them to drink and listen to music.

As a result, he listened to the song "Hong Yan", and easily gave him a valuable jade pendant to make ransom money for others.

The next day, when he woke up, he repeatedly explained that he purely admired Nanyan's piano skills, and had no other thoughts. As a result, the Nanyan girl regained her free body, but she had to follow him all over the world......

Qin Ke couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, so he could only sigh: "Lao Gao, this guy, is really merciful everywhere, and he has done this thing of redeeming himself." ”

"You don't seem qualified to talk about me. At this time, Gao Yishui suddenly came out from under the table of several people, startling Qin Ke, while Nanyan walked in from the backyard, his eyes scanning the crowd, as if he was searching for something.

Gao Yishui said endlessly: "You forgot, you insisted on redeeming that Ning Xin girl in Jiujiang City, and you also raised someone near your Taixue Hall......

"Oh?" Cai Yan looked at Qin Ke with interest, "Why didn't I know that Ah Ke still had such a chivalrous act?"

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Qin Ke saw a few small knives faintly flashing in Cai Yan's bright eyes, and immediately his scalp was numb, and he began to explain a series of things about Ning Xin, but after a few words, he was tricked out of Zhang Fu's existence by Gao Yishui, and suddenly Qin Ke's face turned red, and his speech became more and more incoherent.

It wasn't until Cai Yan's small fist smashed seven or eight walnuts that he finished talking about his past with Ning Xin and Zhang Fu tremblingly, and during this time, Gao Yishui once again got into the crowd and escaped from the main entrance.

Cai Yan didn't care much about Qin Ke's "romantic affairs" at this time, he just couldn't help but want to see Gao Yishui's jokes, and dragged Abu out all the way, Qin Ke shook his head helplessly, while throwing down the tea money, and at the same time didn't forget to put the remaining nuts and melon seeds on the table into his pocket......
