Chapter 77 Dispute
When it was close to the third watch, Gu Xiurong first sent Ge Baoxue away, and then chatted with several people non-stop.

Gu Mingzhu stood in front of the door and waited.

The September night wind is bleakly cold.

She looked at the silent long street, and Cen Shen's voice came from behind: "Miss Gu."

Gu Mingzhu looked sideways: "Deputy General Cen."

Cen Shen said, "Are you waiting for General Gu?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "My brother is still talking to Mr. Qi."

Cen Shen said: "Young lady, if you don't go in and wait, the door is very windy."

Gu Mingzhu smiled: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

Cen Shen's carriage had already stopped at the door, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Since that's the case, it's okay for me to wait with the girl, lest the girl be alone."

Gu Mingzhu said: "There are many errands in the past few days, and it's getting late, Vice General Cen should go back to the residence and rest earlier."

Cen Shen had no choice but to bow his hands and salute: "Then Cen will bid farewell."

"Farewell."

Cen Shen got into the carriage and left.

The wind was blowing suddenly, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Xu Jue turned out from behind the screen and glanced at the carriage going away, but without saying a word, he stepped out and got into the Gu family's carriage.

Gu Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, and followed.

As soon as she got into the car, Xu Jue said, "Huanhuifu."

Gu Mingzhu said, "What about brother?"

Xu Jue said: "These two have something to drink, and they won't be able to leave for a while."

Gu Mingzhu looked at him in surprise: "What's good for brother and Qifeng?"

"One is the future commander of the Habayashi Army, and the other is the Minister of the Ministry of War. They will deal with each other in the future. Why don't they have to drink?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "Qi Feng prescribes medicine to the emperor, how can I do this if my brother is not clear with him?"

Xu Jue said: "Why not? Wanwan, don't forget that what you are doing now is a serious crime against the entire Nine Clans. If something happens one day, no one in the Gu family will be able to escape."

Gu Mingzhu keenly sensed that his emotions were different from those in the past, but she was overwhelmed by these words, and frowned slightly: "Didn't you already know that?"

Xu Jue looked at her deeply.

Gu Mingzhu said: "Everything I do is treasonous. Didn't you know it a long time ago in Gusu? Now that this matter is brought up, Xu Jue, what do you want to say?"

"I want to ask you, what situation are you going to put the Gu family in? With the name of Gu Mingzhu, everything you do is inseparable from the Gu family."

Gu Mingzhu took a deep breath and remained silent.

Xu Jue looked at him: "You don't let Qi Feng and Xiu Rong get close. One is in charge of internal and external military officers, and the other is in charge of guarding Jiangling City. In the future, they will not only deal with each other, but may even become friends."

"But Qi Feng murdered the emperor! Brother will be implicated then."

"There is no way to do this, unless the world changes hands."

The world changed hands, as long as there is no Qi Feng, the charge of Qi Feng poisoning the emperor will no longer exist, and Gu Xiurong will not be regarded as an accomplice.

Xu Jue paused for a moment, then said again: "Ge Baoxue made a quotation at this juncture, have you ever thought about why?"

Gu Mingzhu looked around: "Is there something else hidden in him?"

Xu Jue said: "He resigned at the critical moment of the emperor's serious illness. I'm afraid he has discussed it with Xiu Rong in private. He intends to let Xiu Rong take the position of the great commander."

Gu Mingzhu was silent in thought.

Xu Jue said: "Let me put it more clearly, if anything happens in Jiangling City at this juncture, it has nothing to do with Ge Baoxue."

Gu Mingzhu slowly rubbed her right finger on her leg, her gaze was like a torch: "You mean, Ge Baoxue wants to shirk?"

Xu Jue said: "He just doesn't want to wade into such muddy water, and wants to be alone. What do you think the banquet tonight means? Is Ge Baoxue really the host? Naive! The emperor is seriously ill these days, and the imperial doctors They are all at a loss, what is the purpose of Qi Feng's order to attack? It is to completely disturb the water in Jiangling."

If Ge Baoxue is not the host, then who is?

Chiffon? !
Gu Mingzhu put her hand between her eyebrows, she was silent for a while, and said, "To disturb Jiangling, what does he want..."

Xu Jue said: "Let me ask you, if Yun Zhao goes to Chizhou to quell the chaos, who in the palace will have the final say?"

Gu Mingzhu pondered, then suddenly raised her head: "Li Sui?"

Xu Jue said: "The prestige of King Duan is too great. If he goes to Chizhou, with his ability, if he wins a piece of heaven and earth, then Li Sui will lose his mind completely."

Gu Mingzhu was silent, calmed down, and then said: "You mean, the emperor is seriously ill, the mastermind behind it is Li Sui, and Qi Feng is from Prince De's residence?"

"The rabbit bites people when it's anxious, not to mention the prince who has lived in struggle since childhood."

Gu Mingzhu quickly analyzed the situation in Jiangling, and said, "You...you know it, why didn't you stop it?"

The atmosphere suddenly became more tense.

Xu Jue looked at her fixedly: "Is that why you miss me?"

Gu Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat, and she remained silent.

Xu Jue chuckled lightly, as if mocking herself: "What do you think of me? Or do I deserve to be treated like this because I took the initiative to post it?"

Gu Mingzhu opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Xu Jue drew some distance away, and still looked at her in the dark: "In your eyes, I am the kind of person who allows Xiu Rong to get involved with Qi Feng regardless of anything? Then tell me, what is my purpose?" ?”

Gu Mingzhu bit her lip lightly: "No..."

"No? Heh..." Xu Jue's heart was full of coolness: "If you really think otherwise, how could you say what you just said? You still don't believe me."

The carriage stopped at the gate of Gu's residence.

The coachman said outside: "Miss, we're at the house."

Just as Gu Mingzhu was about to speak, Xu Jue got out of the car first. She looked at Xu Jue, who was full of hostility, and got out of the car too, but there was no way to explain it, just like what Xu Jue said.

She didn't trust him that much, that's why she asked him why he knew that Qi Feng was a person who left Sui, why he knew that Qi Feng was plotting against him, but he allowed his brother to associate with Qi Feng.

She overlooked one thing.

Since the court last day, the two have not seen each other for more than nine days.

Xu Jue is busy with official duties these days, and she has no skills at all. Qi Feng is such a cautious person. In her previous life, until Yun Zhao became emperor, she didn't know that Qi Feng was actually a person who left Sui.

He was afraid that it was only tonight that he was sure that Qi Feng was Li Sui's person.

Xu Jue's face was displeased, and he didn't look at her. Seeing Gu Mingzhu get off the carriage, he said to the coachman, "Get your horse ready."

"Yes."

Gu Mingzhu followed him and waited in front of the Gu Mansion, wanting to find a chance to explain, but the words came to his lips, but he didn't know how to explain.

She can't have complete trust.

Gu Mingzhu lowered her eyes.

She owed Xu Jue a life, she could laugh and talk with him, have a deep affection, and even marry him, stand in his way and die for him, but she couldn't trust him.

But the basis of relationship is trust.

In the bleak night wind, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help asking herself, did she really like Xu Jue, or was she moved because of his affection for her?Is it mercy?

But the streets were silent, and no one answered.

The coachman soon brought the horse.

Xu Jue took a few steps forward, then turned around suddenly, his voice was gnashed, and he stared at the stunned person at the door: "You don't have anything to say to me?"

Gu Mingzhu's eyes froze slightly, and she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them again, and said in silence, "Be careful all the way."

Xu Jue's face turned livid, and he rode away without saying a word.
