Chapter 376
Gu Qingyi is a little bit embarrassed, but it is better now. Grand Master Qin has been domineering for many years, and now the little emperor has finally grown up, and even has a younger brother of the God of War. He is no longer as arrogant as before, and because of this, he Only then did he move his mind to instigate Nangong Yin.

Gu Qingyi wanted to continue, but Gu Qingcheng paused suddenly and turned to look at her.

"Which families were the exterminated families you mentioned, when were they, and for what crimes?"

"As far as I know, in the past 20 years, there have been Langya Qiao's, Xingyang Chen's and Zheng's, and Qinghe Xiao's. The people suffer, and so on."

"Qinghe Xiao?"

The previous few Gu Qingcheng still have the impression that they are all big families that have been famous for a hundred years, and they are not only active in the court, but also have their own talents in other fields. Only this Qinghe Xiao family, she has never even heard of it .

"Yes, Qinghe may indeed be the most famous and well-known family of the Cui family. On the contrary, the Xiao family is more like a small family that cannot be reached, but it is just the opposite. It is the most prosperous family besides the royal family."

"There is even a slight tendency to surpass the royal family, but the Xiao family is extremely low-key, and they can't hear their voices at all outside, but if you pay close attention, you will find the Xiao family everywhere."

"For example, Tang Che, the most famous prime minister, and Dun Wu, the general praised by Ling Nangong Yin, all came from the Xiao family. In addition to the officialdom, there is also a map of the whole country of mountains and rivers hanging in the imperial study room. Decades of painstaking work."

"It's just that I didn't leave my name. Others include water conservancy, agriculture and business, and Xiao's figure is everywhere."

Speaking of which, Gu Qingyi is also envious. Such a big family doesn't even have a child who has been raised and disabled. It's no wonder that the inheritance can be repeated, but it just capsized in the gutter.

"Then how did such a family fall into the hands of Grand Master Qin? They don't sound like the kind of people who are driven by profit."

It's hard for Gu Qingcheng to imagine. The family that Gu Qingyi described is infinitely beautiful and cautious, and it can be seen from the two people she listed, and even if they were framed, could it be that with their huge connections, they couldn't Mediate from it to preserve it?

In fact, she still doesn't quite understand that in this era, even an unwarranted name can kill a person.

"Everyone has something they care about. Maybe they can give up once, twice, or even three or four times for the sake of the overall situation, but the bottom line is always there. This is also the beginning of the family tragedy."

Gu Qingyi was a little sad, and her voice sank unconsciously as she spoke, but Gu Qingcheng didn't fully understand what she said, but this Xiao family left traces in her heart, maybe it has something to do with the city lord?
Thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong. When the Xiao family exterminated the clan, although the city lord was still young, he was within the scope of not beheading. It made no sense to leave only a half-grown child who could hold grudges. She felt that this was not the style of Grand Master Qin. , he will definitely kill them all.

"What did you think of when you asked this?"

Looking at Gu Qingcheng's calm face, Gu Qingyi asked casually.

"Well, I thought of something. I talked to the black dragon before and talked about the city lord. I don't think he should be so simple. I wanted to ask you to see if you have any answers."

Gu Qingcheng leaned back with some headache and sighed.

"Forget it, it's just my wishful thinking. Maybe he doesn't want us to meddle in his private affairs at all. It's not good to disturb us rashly."

Gu Qingcheng murmured something, but she was already halfway through the journey, so it was not in her character to go back home like this. Anyway, Nangong Yin and Qin Taishi and his party were also in the mine, so there would be nothing to do, let's talk about it later .

But sometimes, things always backfire. When Gu Qingcheng and Gu Qingyi followed Heilong into a very inconspicuous abandoned mine, they saw neatly arranged tables, tables, couches, and even a delicate little ornament like a bogu shelf. , were stunned.

Is this really just an abandoned mine, not a beautiful embroidery room?Gu Qingcheng looked at the entrance of the cave suspiciously, and gave Heilong a questioning look, did he really go wrong, but the latter ignored her, just staring blankly inside.

When a bright red figure appeared in the room, let alone Gu Qingyi, even Gu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, wondering where did this person come from.

"Didn't the little girl come to see me? Why are you so surprised to see me?"

The male-non-female voice was joking, it was Gu Qingcheng's familiar voice, or the black dragon reacted quickly, he knelt down to greet the people inside, Gu Qingyi was also a little at a loss, just looked at the city lord, wondering if this is his sister The city lord in his mouth.

The beautiful and exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and the snow-white skin without exposure to light, made him look a little fragile. His face was smiling, but his eyes had no warmth. Gu Qingyi shuddered, and turned his eyes away from him. .

Hearing the man's voice, although he was puzzled, his mind was filled with the temptation of those two thin lips gently opening and closing. Gu Qingyi felt that his brain must be broken, how could he think about such a thing.

"Heilong, take the eldest lady down to rest, and I will talk to the little girl."

"Yes."

Gu Qingyi followed the black dragon, although he hesitated, but he couldn't refuse, anyway, Gu Qingcheng gave her a reassuring look and comfort, and he didn't insist on staying here after all.

"Little girl, it's really surprising. How did you come up with the water diversion device to actually attract rain? Do you know that this is the first rain in Jiangzhou this year?"

The voice of the city lord was full of novelty and joy, like a child seeing a new toy for the first time, even his eyes were shining, but he restrained himself not to lose his composure, but the more this was the case, the more the contrast made Gu Qingcheng Surprised.

"I also saw it from the classics when I was idle before, but it was the first time I tried it, and I didn't expect it to be really successful."

Gu Qingcheng thought about it for a while, and decided to tell the truth. In case of needing this thing again in the future, it would be troublesome to take it out and see that it was useless.

"But it wasn't the rain I asked for. The city lord praised me. I watched the sky at night and predicted that there would be rain that day. I just made an excuse for it. Even if I didn't have my rain catcher, it would only be three or two days at most. Jiang It also rains in the state."
