Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 86

Gu Zhou stopped in front of the four tombs, lit incense and candles, burned paper money, and offered a pot of wine. Then he came to Shangguan Nanzhi's tombstone and squatted down.

He actually didn't want to come here, and he didn't want to accept that woman who was as bright and bright as a summer flower sleeping underground forever.

But he can only come here because this is the place closest to her.

"Nan Zhi, Xu Jiang has found this person. I told you about this person. You should still remember that when he arrives in the capital, not only will he completely lift the mystery of the year, but he will still be able to lift a corner of the veil."

"Would you blame me for being useless? If it were you, you might have found out the truth long ago."

"Nan Zhi, wait a little longer, that day is coming soon..."

Gu Zhou stopped stroking the name "Shangguan Nanzhi" on the tombstone and murmured softly.

As night fell, Ji Yunchen, who had rushed back from Beida Camp, quietly entered the back office of Dali Temple.

"Gu Zhouting, the man was found. What did he say?"

Ji Yunchen asked anxiously as soon as he entered the study.

Gu Zhou stopped and saw that his cloak was covered with snow, and even his eyebrows were dyed white by the falling snow.

Beida camp is sixty miles away from the capital. It can be seen that he rushed back in the wind and snow without delay after receiving the news.

"Drink some hot tea first to warm yourself up."

"Don't drink, I'm not cold, please tell me." Ji Yunchen now just wanted to know what Xu Jiang said.

Three years ago, Gu Zhouting asked him to leave the capital while he stayed to investigate.

He thought that with Gu Zhouding's ability, he would be able to find out the truth soon.

As a result, the wait lasted three years.

Yes, he knew that this matter was not easy. Those people moved too fast. Even if Gu Zhouding reacted immediately and sent Han Shu to investigate, it was already too late.

Evidence was destroyed and those involved silenced.

Without evidence, even if they knew who did it, they couldn't bring this man down.

The only reason is that he was in deep pain and self-blame at that time and could not extricate himself. He never thought that someone had planned it and missed the best opportunity to collect evidence.

Gu Zhouting returned to the desk and sat down, and said slowly: "Xu Jiang said that he would not say anything unless he saw you. He doesn't believe anyone but you now."

"Where is he? I'll go right away."

Gu Zhou paused and glanced at him: "The Emperor has defied all opinions and asked you to take charge of Beida Camp. You have just taken over Beida Camp a few days ago. If you leave the post without authorization and others find out, they will definitely join you."

"I can't control that much." Ji Yunchen said regardless.

Gu Zhouzhi's eyes were condensed: "Ji Yunchen, it is important to find out the truth about Gubei, but it is even more important to revitalize Beida Camp. By handing over Beida Camp to you, the emperor is placing all his hopes on you."

This was something he had worked hard to achieve.

Xiao Wang recommended his father-in-law's subordinate Lu Yiming, while Wang Peizhong and other leaders and factions recommended their people.

The position of commander-in-chief of the Beida Camp caused the courtiers to almost fight in the court, and the situation was even more turbulent secretly.

The most troublesome thing is that Princess Changping does not approve of her son being the commander-in-chief of the Peking Camp.

Fortunately, he won in the end.

"You have also seen what the Beida Camp is like now. With such an army brought out to fight Dayuan, there is a [-]% chance of winning? Ji Yunchen, Dayuan has been making frequent moves recently, and your time is very tight."

"If Bei Qing and Nan Zhi were still there, they would definitely not support you in making that choice."

Ji Yunchen calmed down: "Then what should I do?" Gu Zhouting had already thought about it: "You write a letter and ask Jiuli and Mo Yu to bring your letters and tokens to bring Xu Jiang back. .”

"Without further delay, I will write now and let Jiuli and Mo Yu set off tonight."

Gu Zhou heard: "The city gate has been locked. It is too conspicuous to leave the city now. What excuse did you use to come back this time?"

"I told the deputy general that my mother was unwell."

"Okay, then you go back to the princess mansion tonight and leave the city early tomorrow morning, and let Mo Yu dress up as your follower."

Zheng Guan came back from inquiring about the news and saw Mo Yu and Jiu Li guarding the door of the study.

"Mo Yu, is it inconvenient for you to see me now?"

Before Mo Yu could answer, an adult's voice came from inside: "Zheng Guan, come in."

Zheng Guan entered the study room and saw his lord Shi Shiran sitting on the chair on his left, drinking tea, and the young prince sitting in front of his desk writing furiously.

"Sir, I've checked out what you ordered."

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "Say it!"

He didn't want to hide this from Ji Yunchen.

"Shanggguan Young Master has really been very close to Madam Jiang recently. He goes to Madam Jiang's house every now and then. Tonight, Shangguan Young Master and Chen Qilang went to Madam Jiang's house after school. They sat there for nearly two hours before coming out."

"What? When did Zhaoyang hook up with Lady Jiang?" Ji Yunchen stopped writing in surprise.

And Chen Pingzhang actually went to see Mrs. Jiang again.

Gu Zhou stopped and looked at the door, motioning for Zheng Guan to leave.

After the door was closed again, Gu Zhou stopped and said, "Ms. Jiang now lives in Xichun Lane, Xinyi Fang."

Ji Yunchen: Uh...

It was too close, just separated by an alley.

"Originally I didn't think it was anything, but today I went to the Shangguan family cemetery and saw An He and Lady Jiang paying homage to the Shangguan family."

"Are you afraid that she has some plot against Zhaoyang by approaching Zhaoyang?"

Gu Zhouting shook his head: "Not really, I just feel that there is something weird about this woman."

"How to say?"

"I can't say for sure. She seems to know me very well. She knows my eating habits and my preferences like the back of her hand. When we were at the inn, she even said what Nan Zhi once said, word for word. This is not strange. Son?"

"Also, you and I both know that Zhaoyang is a person who is not easy to get close to, but he accepted her in such a short period of time."

"What's even more strange is that Xiao Wang already knew that she was the initiator of the dream that frightened Qin Liulang's stroke. He asked Cui Zhe to take her away for private interrogation, and then released her with all her beard and tail intact. With Xiao Wang's If she can't prove that Tuo Mengyi's theory is not nonsense, Xiao Wang will never let her go easily."

Ji Yunchen frowned: "I also think she is mysterious and unpredictable. Every word she says seems to touch my heart, and the topic will be taken away by her before I know it. But there is one sentence she said that moved me. .”

"What did she say?"

"She said that when I go north to fight, she is willing to spend all her wealth to help me sweep across Mobei."

Gu Zhou was stunned that a weak woman could say such heroic words.

"Gu Zhouting, tell me... could she have really dreamed about Nan Zhi? What did Nan Zhi say to her? Otherwise, as a person who grew up in Ningchuan, she should have returned to Ningchuan after she and her husband's family reconciled. Yes, she came to the capital, a place she is not familiar with. The capital is so big, but she chose to live near the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and she even rescued Zhaoyang. The key is that she is so familiar with you and me."

Apart from that, he really couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation.

Gu Zhouting frowned, yes, otherwise how could it make sense?
Are there really such bizarre things in this world?
