Liu Lei said proudly: "It's June now, although Sun Shangshang's rampant expedition and looting the people's fat and ointment to fill his own pockets is a heinous crime, but the tribute from all over the country has always been to show the emperor's prestige and the eight wildernesses, and the emperor's grace is a great event, which year is not a lot, and this year's moon tribute will still be transported to the capital and dedicated to the emperor." www.biquge.info The old slave knows that the ancient young man is strong in martial arts and has a very high prestige in martial arts, and he is here today to ask the old young man to send this tribute for the old slave, that is, for the emperor. ”

Rao is how Gu Yuecong is serious, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, and there were countless questions in his heart: "The emperor himself said that Liu Lei wanted to hijack the Yuegong assets as military salaries, why would he let me pay tribute? Could it be that he also wanted to win me over? Or is there another conspiracy?"

Liu Gonggong said: "The old slave thinks about it, and the only one who can call the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes and the court is Gu Shaoxia." ”

Gu Yuecong said: "My father-in-law has won the award." "The stakes are so great that he doesn't dare to agree, and he doesn't dare not agree. Nie Guifei said: "What I have seen all the way in this palace, this northwest place is not very peaceful, and I am afraid that this dart will not be easy to bet." ”

Liu Gonggong said: "Therefore, the old slave asked Gu Shaoxia to go out in person, one is that Gu Shaoxia is a person from the Northwest and knows the northwest terroir well, and the other is that Gu Shaoxia's miraculous skills are world-famous, and the prestige of martial arts is extremely high, and this trip will definitely be a success." ”

Gu Yuecong only thought: "This matter is better to ask the emperor first." said: "Father-in-law can allow the grass people to think about it for a while?"

Liu Lei said proudly: "Of course, but it's already early June, I don't know if Gu Shaoxia can give an answer to the old slave tomorrow." ”

Gu Yuecong thought to himself: "Tomorrow is enough to ask the emperor." He said, "Okay." ”

Liu Lei Ao really explained a few more words, stood up and said: "The old slave came tonight, just to tell Gu Shaoxia about this, so that you can have a preparation, as for the paperwork and related matters, the old slave will send someone to send it in person, Niangniang, Gu Shaoxia, it's not early, the old slave is going to serve the emperor, if there is nothing else, the old slave will not bother." ”

Gu Yuecong said: "I'll give my father-in-law a ride." ”

Gonggong Liu said while withdrawing: "No need, the old slave entered the palace at the age of eight, and it has been forty-three years. Gu Shaoxia stayed, and the old slave said goodbye. ”

Gu Yuecong didn't answer, but still sent Liu Lei Ao to the door.

As soon as Liu Leiao left, Gu Yuecong returned to the hall and asked, "Niangniang, what did Liu Leiao's last sentence mean?"

Nie Guifei said: "This person is cunning and cunning, his speech is ambiguous, and he has hidden mysteries, fortunately you didn't fall for him." ”

Gu Yuecong said: "You mean, he didn't know that Long'er and I had already entered the palace?"

Nie Guifei said: "If he knew, he would have sent someone to arrest him." ”

"Oh, I know it's wrong, you hit me hard, I won't beg for mercy anymore. Suddenly, I heard Zhu Tianhao's several weak pleas, and then I saw him unkempt and dragged out of the box. When Nie Guifei saw Zhu Tianhao, she was really taken aback, and looked at Gu Yuecong, Gu Yuecong said: "Niangniang just asked who was visiting, and now I know." ”

Zhu Tianhao's cheeks were blue and red, the bridge of his nose was high and swollen, and the bruises on his forehead had spread, making his entire forehead turn purple, and at first glance he looked like a monkey's buttocks. He clasped his arms tightly and kept rubbing the skin on his arms, and it turned out that his arms were also bruised. Ouyang Long'er said, "I'm going to pinch your left arm and stretch it out." Although Zhu Tianhao was terrified, he actually stretched out obediently, Ouyang Long'er said: "I'll pinch it three times, if you don't call it out, I won't fight." Zhu Tianhao covered his cheek with one hand, stretched out his hand in horror, and said, "I don't scream, I must hold back." ”

Gu Yuecong saw that although Zhu Tianhao's body was full of pain, the injury was really not light, and said, "Don't beat him anymore." Ouyang Long'er said: "You don't have to worry about it, since he dared to escape, he should have expected today." ”

Zhu Tianhao smiled embarrassedly and said, "Brother Xian, we are the old rules, this time there is no torture instrument, I am already thankful." ”

Gu Yuecong said to Ouyang Long'er: "Liu Lei Ao came over, he couldn't bear the pain and didn't say anything, he was also afraid that you would be discovered, he treated you like this, you didn't say thank you, but beat him like this?"

Ouyang Long'er said: "I'm cleaning him up for Sister Shuiyue." He tried to pinch him, but his hand was released.

At this moment, the voice of a eunuch outside the door came: "The emperor has arrived!"

Everyone in the room was shocked again, and Ouyang Long'er said, "I'll hide first." He opened the cabinet door and hid inside.

Zhu Tianhao touched his cheeks, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll hide too." ”

Nie Guifei hurriedly said: "Tianhao, you should meet the emperor with us." ”

Zhu Tianhao was slightly stunned, and knew that there were only two people in the room, Gu Yuecong and Nie Guifei, so it was inconvenient, so he had to stand hard.

"Gu Aiqing, are you still used to living?" As soon as the emperor entered the door, he saw that Nie Guifei and Zhu Tianhao were also there, and asked, "What, you two are also there?"

Nie Guifei said: "Back to the emperor, the concubine learned that there was no maid in the Yingwu Palace, and she was worried about the inconvenience of Gu Gongzi's life, so she brought two little maids to serve." ”

Zhu Tianhao said: "Weichen learned that Brother Gu Xian had entered Beijing, so he came to get together. ”

The emperor asked Zhu Tianhao, "You have known each other for a long time, what's wrong with your face?"

Zhu Tianhao will go to Helan to play and meet Gu Yuecong, the two of them will roughly say at first sight, as for the encounter with Ouyang Long'er on the way, to Yangzhou Yak Desert, hiding the girl in the Yingwu Palace, naturally did not mention anything, Helan played, to the mouth also said that he was on an errand on his father's orders, and the injury on his face was beaten by robbers on the way to the errand.

The emperor said, "So, I should reward you?"

Zhu Tianhao hurriedly said: "The minister sent Helan for his father, and he didn't dare to ask for a reward. The emperor nodded, glanced at him, and asked, "Is your brocade robe new?"

Zhu Tianhao was stunned for a moment and said, "The emperor is aware of everything. ”

The emperor said: "This brocade robe is a specialty of Yangzhou, how can you wear a brand new Yangzhou brocade robe when you come back from Helan? ”

Zhu Tianhao saw that the emperor had revealed his whereabouts, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The emperor is wise, the minister has indeed been to Helan, otherwise he would not have met Brother Gu Xian." ”

The emperor said: "This I naturally know, Tianhao, what kind of flowers and intestines do you have, how can I not know anything?"

Zhu Tianhao responded, but didn't dare to say any more, and the emperor then said to Gu Yuecong: "Gu Aiqing, has Liu Lei Ao come to look for you?"

Gu Yuecong heard him change his name to Gu Aiqing, nodded and said: "Gonggong Liu still wants the grass people to do something for him, and the grass people are trying to ask the emperor to make a holy judgment." ”

The emperor said, "He wants you to escort the moon tribute?"

Gu Yuecong was stunned and said, "Yes." ”

The emperor said, "You promised him?"

Gu Yuecong said: "The grass people don't dare to make claims. ”

The emperor said: "This afternoon, Liu Lei Ao came to see me and asked me to make a decree to promise you to escort you to worship the moon. After a pause, he continued: "I have promised him that as long as he can convince you, I will make an order. ”
