Tie Ning, Yun Lan, Mo Zi, Gu Luan, Gu Rou, Ning Xiaoqian, Ning Xiaokun, Ling Yue, Zhai Suli, Princess Shuyu, Ouyang Qinxin Eleven girls accompanied Wu Zheng, with the assistance of Yun Lan's Yin and Yang Stacking Formation, they came to the only drum tower in the south of Lin'an City at the beginning of the morning of the tenth day of August. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Zheng just appeared, only to see a familiar figure under the drum tower hurriedly greeted him and bowed.

"Wupin with a knife guard Diao Jun visited Deputy Dutong Wu. ”

"Diao guards don't need to be polite, please get up. ”

Wu Zheng was somewhat surprised that Diao Jun successfully avoided the coup d'état in the capital. In the midst of his thoughts, he couldn't help but think to himself, maybe Diao Jun was chosen by the emperor's side in advance, and he left the capital early, so as to avoid the disaster.

"Lord Diao, where is the emperor?"

"Vice President Wu, please go upstairs. ”

Wu Zheng turned his head to look around, and saw that there were not many pedestrians near the drum tower, let alone any suspicious people, so he nodded to Gu Rou in the distance, and raised his heel to climb the stairs behind Diao Jun.

Tie Ning and the girls have been separated from Wu Zheng since they entered Lin'an City, although they have not stayed away from Wu Zheng, they have been deliberately arranged by Gu Rou to be in groups of two and hide among the pedestrians on the street. Or wander around the street scene, or watch the various objects displayed by the street vendors, dressed as ladies playing along the street. And Gu Rou specializes in taking care of Gu Luan, who has no ability to protect himself. Because I didn't know if there would be an accident in the drum tower, I didn't let Gu Luan follow for the time being.

Coming to the exit of the second floor of the drum tower, Diao Jun, who was one step ahead, flashed to the side, knelt down on one knee and sat there, dressed as a rich man, and the emperor Gu Shuyu, who turned his head because he heard the footsteps, reported: "Vice President Wu has arrived." ”

Then he stood up and stepped back from the entrance.

Obviously, it was ordered by the emperor in advance, so Diao Jun did not call "long live" and other words in his mouth.

"Long live Wu Zheng knocking to see my emperor!"

Wu Zheng did not omit the title of the emperor, hurriedly bowed down and walked a few steps forward, kneeling on the ground to pay homage to Gu Shu. Not only because he used to be the emperor's moon envoy, but for Gu Luan's sake, Wu Zheng also had to kneel.

There are not many people in the entire drum tower, except for the emperor Gu Shu, Diao Jun and Wu Zheng, there is a middle-aged man in the same plain clothes who is facing the outside of the drum tower standing at each of the four windows. Although Wu Zheng didn't know him, he could still guess that he must be the emperor's personal guard.

"Hehe, get up. At this time, don't pay attention to these rules. Sit down and talk. ”

As he spoke, he casually pointed to a chair at the bottom left.

Hearing this, after Wu Zheng thanked him, he walked over and sat down slowly.

"Hooray,......。 ”

"I know you have a lot to ask, but today is not the time to talk about that. You take a look at this first. ”

As he spoke, Emperor Gu Shu pushed a book on the table in front of him in the direction where Wu Zheng was sitting. Wu Zheng hurriedly stood up, bent down and stretched out his hands to pick up the fold from the table, and after opening it, he only looked at one line, and tears fell.

It turned out to be the handwriting of grandfather Ning Zezhong!

Tearfully glanced up at the calm emperor Gu Shu, Wu Zheng continued to read:

“...... , the Ning family has been loyal for generations, the first emperor of the fifth generation, and the old minister has been the fourth generation. It can be described as the emperor's grace, and he dares not to serve the country with his body. Lao Chen has two dogs under his knees, the eldest son Yun Chong is brave and less resourceful, and the second son Yun Juwen Taowu has a little ancestral legacy, but he has no children under his knees and only gives birth to two daughters. As for the grandchildren, except for Wu Zheng, the son of the late little daughter Yunyan, the three sons under Yun Chong's knees are all unsatisfactory.

The old minister knows that the catastrophe is near, and it is his duty to be the prime minister of the current dynasty. I only hope that long live for the sake of the loyalty of the Ning family for generations, to protect the blood in the world, and the old minister will die without regrets. ......。 ”

Looking at the date again, it turned out to be written the day before the coup. It is not difficult to see from the twists and turns that grandfather Ning Zezhong actually expected today's result a long time ago. The only thing I didn't expect was that among the two sons, the eldest son survived by luck. As for whether the emperor promised to keep a piece of bloodline for the Ning family, Wu Zheng still does not know.

If the emperor really did it, it could only be Ning Tianbao, the third cousin whose whereabouts are still unknown. Because Ning Tianjue's death was already an ironclad fact, and Ning Tianci was personally rescued, there was no sign from them that the emperor wanted to protect the two.

At the same time, Wu Zheng also understood why Emperor Gu Shu asked him to see his grandfather Ning Zezhong as soon as he came up, almost with the intention of dying Mingzhi. is nothing more than trying to use his grandfather's twists and turns to eliminate his dissatisfaction with the emperor's disregard for the safety of the Ning family.

"As for the right prime minister's compromise and hope that the Baoning family will have a wisp of blood in the world, I have done my best. It's just that when someone was sent to snatch Ning Tianbao out, he was already seriously injured. Fortunately, with God's protection, Ning Tianbao's injuries are now fine, and he is recuperating in a secluded place, and your cousins will be able to meet soon. ”

After a few words, I told Wu Zheng that I did everything I had to do. And also told Wu Zheng that now is not the time for you to meet. In other words, Ning Tianbao has become a hostage in the hands of Emperor Gu Shu to blackmail Wu Zheng.

"Thank you for fulfilling my grandfather's last wish. ”

"Alas, the world is like chess, and no one wants to get to where it is today. ”

It seems to be a sentence of self-talk, but when I heard Wu Zheng's ears, there was a special meaning, and the emperor's words contained a trace of apology because of the matter in Ningfu.

It is estimated that it is time to talk about business next, Wu Zheng subconsciously turned his head and looked at the entrance, just when he saw Diao Jun hurriedly walking up, kneeling on one knee again and saluting: "Long live Qiyu, Princess Caifeng asks to see you." ”

Emperor Gu Shu probably didn't expect Gu Luan to come, so he glanced at Wu Zheng with a little surprise when he heard this, and then said to Diao Jun, who was kneeling on the ground: "Xuan." ”

"Yes. ”

Soon after Diao Jun left again, Princess Caifeng Gu Luan slowly climbed the drum tower step by step, and Lianbu walked lightly to the emperor Gu Shu, puffed down and knelt on the ground, and said in a choked voice while bowing and worshipping: "Luan'er knocks on my father." ”

"Luan'er, hurry up. ”

Emperor Gu Shu's voice was also full of concern, obviously at this time, he could see his own flesh and blood, and it was the princess Gu Luan, who had always been favored, so he naturally revealed his side as a father.

"Is Father Emperor Dragon still healthy?"

"It's okay, it's okay, Luan'er is going to sit next to me. ”

Gu Luan walked over as he said and sat on a chair on the right side of Emperor Gu Shu.

"Father, where is the queen mother now?"

When Wu Zheng went to Linshan to pick her up, he handed over the jade pendant entrusted by Liu Hou who met Liu in Shuntian Boye City to Gu Luan. Therefore, of course, Gu Luan knew that Empress Liu had already left Boye City after being taken down by Ning Yunchong in Shuntian Mansion, but no one knew where Empress Liu had gone with the eldest prince Gu Fan and the imperial master Liu Shiqing.
