At this moment, a voice shouted, and then a fat man in a brocade robe hurried over, I don't know whether he was running too fast or too obese, he kept wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief like a stream as he ran. He was followed by a guy holding a wooden box, also panting.

The brocade-robed man ran to the bearded man, nodded and said, "The little one has seen Commander Gou." ”

The bearded man glanced him up and down, tilted his chin and said, "Who are you, how do you know Commander Ben?" This bearded man's name is Gou Da, and he is a distant nephew of Gou Yun Gou Shangshu.

Because there were thieves in the palace last night, although they only stole some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but it made His Majesty the Emperor, who was eating fasting and reciting Buddha in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, angry, not only beheaded more than a dozen guards who were on duty that night in one go, but also hurriedly convened the ministers early in the morning to discuss countermeasures. Because the information revealed in this is terrible. Since the other party was able to enter and leave the heavily guarded imperial city freely, it would not be easy to assassinate the emperor.

After some heated discussions, the emperor finally adopted Gou Yun's suggestion, intending to cut off the entry and exit of such martial arts people from the root, not only sending several times more troops to guard the palace, but also replacing the patrol battalion guarding the city gate with a more reassuring Praetorian Guard.

Since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, the forbidden army has always been only responsible for protecting the safety of the palace, and has never only listened to the emperor's dispatch, and it is inevitable that the morale will be higher, and it has always looked down on the patrol battalion of the guerrillas. This time, because of Gou Yun's words, they were asked to guard the city gate instead of this group of soft eggs, which was naturally a lot of dissatisfaction.

You Tongmei, the commander of the forbidden army, is also a wonderful person, although he did not go against His Majesty's will, but sent Gou Yun's nephew Gou Da. In this way, it not only calmed the emotions within the forbidden army, but also put Gou Yun together by the way. I just don't know how Gou Shangshu feels when he knows. However, this Gou Shangshu is just when the spring breeze is proud, and I am afraid that he will not care about this little thing at all.

But just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care. Gou Da was a simple-minded reckless man, and he got a small position of commander by virtue of Gou Yun's relationship, who knew that his ass was sent to guard the city gate before he was hot, and the dissatisfaction in his heart can be imagined. But he didn't dare not come, so he was so irritable, and as soon as Fang appeared, he broke people's arms.

The brocade-robed man was obviously very aware of the temperament of the person in front of him, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "A few days ago, I was fortunate to see the Lord Commander at the banquet in Gou's Mansion. After speaking, he gave a meaningful look.

"Have you also been to a banquet?" Gou Da couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, because the people who could go to the banquet in Gou Mansion were either the people Gou Yun was wooing or the people who were being wooed. He has a relatively simple brain, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. Although the person in front of him seemed to be just a businessman, before he found out the details of the other party, he was still a little more careful, and his face immediately eased a lot.

"The small one is He Bi, the shopkeeper of Qibao Zhai, who was fortunate to receive an invitation. The man in the brocade robe had a very good face.

Gou Da was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't seem to know what Qibaozhai was, and a clever soldier hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words, and he suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are the most wealth-collecting shopkeeper in Luoyang City." You're very good, even your uncle is full of praise. ”

He Bi hurriedly smiled and said: "Thank you for your love! If you have time for the commander, you might as well go to the small place to sit and sit." There is nothing else, and a good Biluochun is indispensable. ”

"Are you serious?" Gou Da glanced at him with some surprise, and was a little worried about how to knock on one or two treasures to go back, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to send them to the door immediately.

"Of course, of course!" the brocade-robed man said with a smile, "A few days ago, I entered a batch of calligraphy and paintings, and I was looking to invite someone to appreciate them, so it would be best if the commander was free." ”

"Okay!" The other party's upper road was obviously very satisfying to Gou Da, and he finally had a smile on his face, and said as if greeting, "It's not good for you to stay in Qibaozhai to do business, what are you doing here?

He Bi looked embarrassed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Xiao's coming this time is not a matter of Qibaozhai, but for a private matter." Speaking of this, he looked at the woman standing quietly with some embarrassment, and said, "This is the little niece, Qingyi, why don't you hurry up and come over and see the Commander." ”

Tang Zixi immediately understood, moved the lotus step forward and gave a slight salute, and said softly: "I have seen the Lord Commander." ”

Although the voice is still graceful, the face is really a little miserable. Gou Da only barely glanced at it, then waved his hand, turned his head and said, "What's wrong with Niece Xian?"

He Bi let out a long sigh when he heard this, and said, "Do you know about the floods in Liaocheng a few days ago?" Seeing that Gou Da nodded, he continued, "My niece has a good heart when she was a child, and she had to go to the soup kitchen in person, but she was infected by those refugees, and it was not cured for a long time, so Xiao specially sent a letter to her to come to the capital for medical treatment." The little one is such a niece, and she has always been treated as her own daughter, so please ask the commander to give face no matter what. With that, he glanced back, and the little guy hurriedly handed over the wooden box he was holding in his arms.

Immediately, a soldier took the wooden box and opened it for inspection, and as soon as Fang opened it, he let out an irrepressible exclamation.

Gou Da glanced at it with his spare eyes, and it was full of silver tickets, and the thick stack was afraid that there were thousands of taels.

His smile suddenly deepened, and he said, "Shopkeeper He is too polite!"

"It's a small meaning, it's not a respect!" He Bi is very good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw the other party's expression, he knew that the matter was done, and he was busy hitting the railroad while it was hot, "This is half, and the other half has already been sent to the mansion of the commander." ”

It was only half of it, Gou Da was suddenly excited, took a deep breath and said, "Since it is a serious disease, it should be treated as soon as possible." The conditions in the capital are indeed much better than those in the countryside, so you should take your niece and nephew to seek medical treatment. After speaking, he waved his hand and held the wooden box to count.

The corners of He Bi's mouth hooked up a strange smile, and he glanced at the groom.

The groom immediately understood, walked up to Tang Zixi's side and said, "Miss, please get on the horse, let's go to seek medical treatment." ”

At the corner of the street not far away, an old man who was shouting and selling plasters saw that the carriage had entered the city safely, and while continuing to shout, he quietly turned into another street, and when he passed a half-open window, the bamboo pole in his hand knocked on the window lattice seemingly unintentionally.

A young man who was sitting by the window drinking with his friends glanced at him, then stood up pretending to be drunk and said, "I really can't drink anymore, so I want to go back and rest first, and then drink with you another day." ”

When a friend heard this, he joked: "Brother Wang Yan is afraid that he is worried about the wife of the family! The other two laughed as well.

The young man known as Wang Yan was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Everyone, go on, I'm going to say goodbye!" After speaking, he staggered out of the store, and there was a friendly laughter from his friends behind him.

As soon as Fang went out, the smile on his face narrowed, he looked left and right, and sat directly on the carriage waiting on the side.

"Go home!" he commanded faintly, and then leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes.

Several people in the store glanced at the direction where the carriage was leaving, and saw that Wang Yan was really in a hurry to go home, so they couldn't help but smile at each other.

The carriage slowly walked on the wide street, and the sound of selling outside the car kept getting into Wang Yan's ears, and suddenly a different voice came in, he opened his eyes, his expression was faintly excited, and he knocked on the car door and said, "Go to the Boundless Building." ”

"Yes!" the groom immediately turned his horse's head, and the direction changed and galloped toward another, more prosperous street.

After the half-pillar incense hour, the carriage stopped in front of an imposing house, which was the most famous song and dance workshop in Luoyang City, 'Boundless Building'.

As soon as Wang Yanfang got out of the carriage, a small servant came up to greet him, bowed down and said, "I've seen Wang Gongzi! ”

"Lead the way!" Wang Yan nodded, a little excited.

"Yes!" the little servant bowed down, and then walked diagonally in front of him to lead the way, until he walked through the lively hall to a relatively secluded room, and then bent down and said, "Prince Wang, please!"

Wang Yan looked left and right for a moment, and then gently pushed open the hidden door and walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he walked straight to the table and gave a deep salute to a man wearing a mask: "Brother Su!" His voice trembled slightly, his eyes were a little moist, and he felt a little crying with joy.

"Brother Wang doesn't have to be polite. This masked man was Su Jing who walked into the city first, and he was obviously a little excited when he saw Wang Yan, so he got up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come, I'll introduce you to someone!"

It turned out that there was not only Su Jing sitting in the room, but also a handsome young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He was looking at him with a little curiosity at the moment.

Wang Yan wiped the corners of his eyes with some embarrassment, and said to the other party: "This son is polite!"

The handsome young man smiled slightly, and also returned the salute, and said, "Your Excellency must be the champion of the three yuan in the scientific examination last year, and the prince of Wang Yan who is now serving in the Hanlin Academy." ”

Wang Yan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, he turned his head to look at Su Jing, and then nodded: "I'm ashamed!

"Qin Shuangyue!" the handsome young man smiled faintly, and said lightly.

Wang Yan was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed deeply, and said: "It turned out to be the prime minister's son, disrespectful and disrespectful! I often hear people mention that Qin Gongzi has an extraordinary bearing, but now he really deserves his reputation when he sees it." ”

Qin Shuangyue couldn't help but laugh a little when she heard this, and turned her head and said, "Brother Su, you haven't told me that Wang Gongzi is not only so eloquent in addition to valuing love and righteousness. ”

Su Jing couldn't see his expression while wearing a mask, but his deep eyes showed a rare smile, and said, "Brother Qin is wrong." Brother Wang didn't even speak much in front of me, so how did I know that he was eloquent?"

Wang Yan was sweating profusely when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "The two of you are serious, and you dare not be ashamed!"

Qin Shuangyue smiled: "Prince Wang, please sit down and talk!"

Wang Yan arched his hand and sat down, and before he could sit down, he asked, "I don't know when Brother Su will return to the capital?"

Su Jing nodded and said, "It's okay, I've worked hard for you these days." What's going on with Gou Yun?"
