When Ji Jiu came back to his senses, Guo Yunxiao had long since disappeared, and he was stunned to think about Guo Yunxiao's last sentence, both threatening and encouraging, what does this male and female man want, what does this side mean is the last time the two of them will meet in this life?

Ji Jiu walked back to the Lin Mansion in despair, did not go back to the room but went straight to the study, Lin Yijian had the habit of reading at night, the old man had already changed into a nightgown, sat at the table and squinted his eyes to read carefully, raised his eyes and saw that it was Ji Jiu who put down the book, and said with a smile, "It's so late, what's the matter?"

Ji Jiu sat down, calmed his mind and repeated what Guo Yunxiao said to himself one by one, and the old man's eyes changed from calm at the beginning to solemn.

"So this Guo Yunxiao is really the initiator?"

But it seems that he has no fear, otherwise he would not have been able to reveal his whole plan. Ji Jiu raised his eyes, and he said that he hoped that the old general could give him a suggestion.

Lin Yijian stroked his beard, and said with a grim face, "This matter involves not only these few people, maybe he can pull out most of the southern court, and make the southern kingdom take care of himself, maybe it is his purpose, so he must not act rashly." ”

"He Guo Yunxiao is the nephew of Guo Zichuan, the master of the court, why did he defect to the northern country?" Ji Jiu asked himself suspiciously, his brows furrowed.

Lin Yijian suddenly remembered something and said, "I did hear Lao Guo mention this name before, saying that he had a nephew in Qing'an Road, and also said that his nephew had a talent that did not lose to him, but at that time, I only thought it was a joke, but after you said this, it seems to be true." ”

Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, and a domestic servant stood respectfully outside the door and said, "General, someone from the palace asks you to go to the palace now, saying that there is something important." ”

Lin Yijian responded and said, "Do you want to go together and be a companion with my old man?"

Ji Jiu naturally had no opinion, waiting for the old man to change into his official uniform in the study, and the two got into the carriage to the palace together, Lin Yijian's father-in-law, who was familiar with the car, said, "It's so late, what is the emperor's urgent matter to summon?"

"You are asking the old slave, where can the slave guess His Majesty's thoughts, it should be related to the issue of compensation for the Great War between the North and the South, this time it was the Northern Kingdom that sent a mission to Jiangyun, and the assassination of people in the rivers and lakes was indispensable along the way, and Your Majesty should also be worried about this matter. ”

Ji Jiu's heart moved, that little girl might ......

It's a pity that this whimsical idea was quickly vetoed by Ji Jiu, Zhao Shuyun is the most spoiled little county lord of the northern royal family, how could Zhao Yan let her come to the south in danger?

The carriage quickly entered the palace and stopped at the gate of Fengxiao Palace, which is the place where Jiang Bucheng has every opportunity.

The oldest father-in-law in the palace, respectfully led the way, and when he led the case, he leaned down and retreated, sitting opposite the case was Jiang Bucheng, for this emperor of the southern country, Ji Jiu didn't have a good impression in his heart, and he was a little surprised to see his hard-working appearance.

"Sit down, sit, you're welcome. Jiang Bucheng waved his hand without raising his head, and Ji Jiu and Lin Yijian sat aside obediently and listened quietly.

There was the sound of carriages outside the hall again, accompanied by a cough, Lin Yijian didn't need to look up to know that it was Guo Zichuan who came, the old man ran in in a hurry, Jiang Bucheng had already sat down before he could speak, his face was red, and he was full of wine, it seems that this is still a master who is addicted to alcohol.

"Lord Zhongshu, your decanting soup. ”

The old man took the big bowl and drank it all, and a lot of soup fell on the official uniform, which looked sloppy.

Jiang Bucheng finally raised his head and said in a deep voice, "The Northern Mission will depart from Pingjing tomorrow, in order to ensure the safety of the mission, I hope that the Tiance Army can send people to go to the Iron Lock Pass with the elites of the Iron Guard Camp to pick up people, this way is indispensable for the assassination of the knights of the rivers and lakes, with a few young sect masters of the Tiance Army, these people will also buy face." ”

Lin Yijian didn't speak, nodded, but stood up to Guo Zichuan, who was sitting, and said with a sense of wine, "He Zhao Yan is full of food and support, and he has to send an envoy to Jiangyun, isn't it just to show off that he has won the battle, and he has to come to my southern imperial city to step on it to be comfortable?

Ji Jiu couldn't help but smile, I have to say, it's still the domineering of the Chinese book, and these words are exactly what Ji Jiu wants to say.

"Your Majesty, why did you call this old drunkard?" Lin Yijian asked with disgust when he glanced at Guo Zichuan, who was lying on the ground and couldn't fall asleep.

Jiang Bucheng smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't order to summon Guo Aiqing, he broke in by himself. ”

"When will you get up?"

"We will leave the day after tomorrow, so we must go to the iron lock pass early and wait, and we can't neglect the mission. Jiang Bucheng said this sentence very lightly, as if he was really afraid of the northern country in his heart.

Lin Yijian only felt that there was a breath in his chest, not up or down, very uncomfortable, he got up and bowed and said, "If Your Majesty is fine, the minister will retire first." ”

Jiang Bucheng said, "There is one more thing I want to remind you that in this mission, Zhao Shuyun, the county lord of the northern kingdom, is also there, if this little county lord makes a mistake, the current southern kingdom will not have the strength to resist the offensive of the northern kingdom." ”

Zhao Shuyun, the lord of the northern country?

Ji Jiu only felt that the true air rotation of his whole body was blocked, the rumbling in his brain was like spring rain and thunder, his eyes were happy, happy, and even a little scared, these complex emotions were all flashed, making his heart have mixed feelings.

Lin Yijian knew about this, and he was happy for Ji Jiu, but after saluting without showing his expression on the surface, Jiang Bucheng stopped Ji Jiu again and said, "I know what you have happened to Jiangyun these days, and the bad people have already handed over a summary of the excerpts, Wei Chang will tell you in person, and I don't need to say anything." There is one more thing, Lin Aiqing has a few seats in the court that are vacant, you can hand me a list of your recommendations another day, and let it go!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Jiang Bucheng meant, and this time the gift was heavier and more solemn, "Weichen has thanked Your Majesty for the brothers who died in the border army!"

Lin Yijian picked up the sleeping old man on the ground and walked out step by step, only feeling that his steps were brisk, which he had never had in these years.

On the carriage back to the Lin Mansion, Ji Jiu opened the curtain and looked out the window, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

"It will take half a month to get from here to the Iron Lock Pass at the earliest, but compared to ten years, it is not long. Lin Yijian patted Ji Jiu's shoulder, and said with some disrespect, "Just leave this Zhao Shuyun in the southern country, your dignified apprentice of the sword immortal is not worthy of his county lord in the northern country, where is there such a reason?"

Ji Jiu was also happy when he heard this, and couldn't help but clench the "truth" on his waist.

It's finally time to say goodbye, and I've missed you so much all these years, so I'm going to tell you in person.
