Chapter 125

Several people left Pei County overnight by water.

Early the next morning, the entire Southwest entered a state of strict seal, and all the checkpoints along the way were strengthened.

The sun had just risen, and the group looked at the guards at the city gate and had to turn their horses around.

Liandong said: "Miss, with this appearance, they won't give up if they can't find someone."

Gu Mingzhu said: "I will arrange it first."

They didn't dare to stay in the inn, the goal was too big, so they found an ordinary house to live in.

In the middle of the night, the sound of horseshoes could be faintly heard in the street.

It is no small matter for a princess to get lost, from the escort officials to the magistrates, who is not afraid that the pot will fall on them.

The princess was sleeping soundly on the simple bed.

Xu Shi was surrounded by wolves, tigers and leopards these days, and even though she lived and ate very well, she never relaxed her mind at all. At this moment, she felt that this small world was safe, and fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Mingzhu asked Xia Yu to find a pen and paper, thought for a while, then put it down with a sigh.

Xia Yu said: "Miss?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "It's not easy to get away."

All the entry and exit checkpoints were locked tightly, and a group of people were trapped here, unable to move.

Xia Yu glanced at the person on the bed and said, "It seems that they are all here for her."

Gu Mingzhu said: "This deadlock, we have to find a way to solve it."

"I had already written a letter to inform Chu Qiu when I came here. They should have received the news by now." Xia Yu thought for a while and said, "Actually, there is another way, which is more risky."

Gu Mingzhu looked at her and motioned for her to continue.

"Miss, we can actually go to Jiangling quite logically."

Gu Mingzhu remained silent.

She continued: "During the time Miss disappeared, Jiangling also experienced earth-shaking changes. Yun Zhao ascended the throne a month ago, and Li Sui was confined in the palace. Human plague broke out at the battle between Li Guo and Nan Ming. , this time the plague is very tyrannical, most of the people on the border have been killed or injured, Li Guo proposes to stop the war and make peace."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Zhizhanyan reconciliation... What does A Jue say?"

"We are guarding Gu's family in Gusu. We don't have much information. We haven't heard any news yet."

Gu Mingzhu thought about it, and after a while, said: "It's not impossible to go to Jiangling, but it's not easy for Ah Yan to get away then."

Xia Yu said: "There is no need to worry about this."

Gu Mingzhu looked at her sideways in surprise.

Xia Yudao: "If we talk about harmony, our people will naturally come to Jiangling, and we can leave with them. And right now, the officials from Jiangling are in the city right now."

Gu Mingzhu: "?"

Xia Yudao: "The new Minister of the Household Department, we can pretend to be his men and horses, and we can easily leave the city."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Li Guo's household secretary? How could he help us? This is a serious crime of losing one's head."

Xia Yu said: "Miss, he should help us, Song Zixi can sit in this position, we have contributed a lot."

Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment: "Is Song Zixi the current household secretary of Li Guo?"

"Exactly."

Gu Mingzhu hadn't thought of this long-lost name for a long time, but when she mentioned it suddenly, she couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.
-
It was only natural to meet Song Zixi again, even if it wasn't for other reasons, Gu Mingzhu wanted to see him, after all, the two hadn't seen each other for a year since last year.

The lantern that guides the way refracts a faint light on the bluestone. Her whole body is hidden in the night, and she is inevitably exposed to the wind and dew of the night. Friends are about to meet again, and her mood becomes a little lighter. Even the problems of being trapped in difficulties can be overcome. Put it back first.

The road has an end, the door of the house is open, and there is a person standing at the door, facing her sideways, as if watching the night.

The dark red first-rank official robe enveloped him, and his figure became more and more upright and elegant, quite elegant and free and easy.

How can a person who is in the position of Shangshu have such uninhibitedness?
The guard leading the way stepped forward respectfully: "My lord, here we come."

Song Zixi walked down the steps and stood in front of her, with a smile in his tone, and a cheerful voice: "Gu Mingzhu."

Gu Mingzhu returned a sincere smile and said, "Young Master Song, long time no see."

"One year." Song Zixi said: "The timing of your appearance always surprises me."

When the two of them talked, the others dispersed.

Gu Mingzhu said: "I'm going to trouble you this time, take us out of the city."

Song Zixi said: "It's easy to take you out of the city, but have you ever thought about it, even if you can leave the city right now, the southwest has already been locked up, and if you leave this city, there are one or two cities left."

Gu Mingzhu fell into silence.

Song Zixi was right. With the current situation in the Southwest, they were stuck in the middle, and they were searched in two steps...

Song Zixi stared at her pensive face for a while, his pupils were lighter than ordinary people's, and he looked like a modest gentleman when he was silent, but he was aloof from others.

"Gu Mingzhu." He called her name naturally, causing Gu Mingzhu to look up.

Song Zixi met her suspicious gaze, smiled slowly, and said, "Let's go to Jiangling."

There was no time to avoid her gaze, and he caught a trace of a high degree of inquiry and vigilance.

Song Zixi looked at her without fear, "Are you willing to leave like this at the beginning?"

"What kind of identity do you want? I'll give it to you."

Gu Mingzhu smiled silently: "Song Zixi, have you forgotten your identity? Do you know who I am?"

He smiled, hands behind his back: "Of course I know."

Today, Gu Mingzhu has to admit that in a year, Song Zixi's strength can almost be called rapid.

The person who almost pawned himself off for 10 taels at the beginning turned into this in the weird Jiangling City.

Gu Mingzhu couldn't help thinking, what if he was given a few more years?Where will he climb?
Gu Mingzhu took a deep breath and said, "Oh? You know?"

Song Zixi stared at her, he didn't like talking to her like this, and after a moment, he said word by word: "Of course, Your Highness King Ming!"

Conversations between smart people and smart people.

Gu Mingzhu smiled and called his name: "Song Zixi."

Song Zixi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Gu Mingzhu said: "Can I trust you?"

Song Zixi smiled and stared at her: "Don't you believe me? I thought you believed me because you came here."

"That's what I said, but the premise of all this is that I am Gu Mingzhu." Gu Mingzhu's eyes were full of inquiry: "It's not Gu Jue, Gu Mingzhu can die somewhere in the Li country, but Gu Mingzhu can't." .”

"I have a question." Song Zixi said suddenly.

"what?"

He thought for a while, and said: "During the seven months you were away, the southeast was in the hands of Xu Jue. He even swung his army south and flattened the seven cities of Zhengmenglin. Now he has 21 cities, 30 troops, and capable people under his command." There are countless strangers. For seven months, they fought bloody battles together. In such a situation, do you really have a foothold when you go back to the top of one person?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "What do you want to say?"

"I want to say, do you believe him?" Song Zixi said calmly: "Do you think your children's love is better than the supreme right? When two sides are placed on the balance to make a decision, who can't resist not choosing the master?" The power of life and death in the world?"

"Gu Mingzhu, do you want to make a bet?"

"How to bet?"
