Stunning weapon

In the backyard of the Gu Mansion, Gu Lianqing greeted Mo Xiaochuan and entered the study, while Su Yan and others guarded outside, even the servants of the Gu Mansion were not allowed to approach.Seeing Mo Xiaochuan's solemn expression, Gu Lianqing knew that something serious must have happened, so he didn't speak, but just sat in the second seat, waiting for Mo Xiaochuan to speak.

Mo Xiaochuan looked at Gu Lianqing, took a deep breath, and said, "Master Gu, I'm leaving Shangjing. I'm taking the liberty to come here this time because I want to entrust you with a few things."

Gu Lianqing hurriedly stood up and bowed to salute, saying: "Your Majesty has any orders, but if you say so, your subordinates will do their best to do it, and I am ashamed of entrusting you with the word."

Mo Xiaochuan waved his hand and told him to sit down without being polite, and said, "There are no outsiders here, I just want to talk to Master Gu for a while, there is no need to be formal."

Gu Lianqing nodded, sat up straight, and poured Mo Xiaochuan a cup of tea.

"Mei Shichang is dead." Mo Xiaochuan said slowly.

Gu Lianqing's hand shook, and he spilled some tea out. He raised his face in surprise, and looked at Mo Xiaochuan. Gu Lianqing was a smart man. Regarding this, he thought of the consequences of Mei Shichang's death almost instantly. , slowly put down the teacup.At this moment, he finally knew why Mo Xiaochuan was so anxious, and came to him with a serious face.

Mei Shichang's death obviously caught Mo Xiaochuan by surprise. If he didn't rush to the country of Yan as soon as possible, it might cause a lot of turmoil. After Mo Xiaochuan left like this, he went to the capital seemingly calmly. There will be many disturbances.

After all, the situation in Shangjing City has changed. Liu Chengqi's retreat has left some forces in Shangjing City. These people are now watching Mo Xiaochuan. After he leaves, Gu Lianqing alone obviously cannot give these people confidence. , Moreover, those royalists who have been fighting with these people for many years may also attack secretly.

Mo Xiaochuan's visit to him this time made Gu Lianqing feel that Mo Xiaochuan attached great importance to him. Although he had joined Mo Xiaochuan a long time ago, Mo Xiaochuan had never really asked him to do anything.

Coming here now is obviously to entrust this matter to him. This is a kind of honor, but also a heavy burden. Suddenly, Gu Lianqing felt his shoulders sink. Don't look at him now. It's all because Mo Xiaochuan is in Shangjing.

Mo Xiaochuan's identity is different now. Even if he does not go to court, his weight is no less than that of the six ministers of the court and Cui Xiu. With him, many people will be scruples and dare not act rashly. If Mo Xiaochuan leaves, then, The situation would be different.

Gu Lianqing still couldn't guarantee that he could hold back, not to mention anything else, even if a eunuch from the Imperial Study Room came out of the palace, he would have to deal with it with a good face, and he would never dare to be disrespectful.Gu Lianqing pondered for a while, with a very serious face, stood up and saluted, and said, "My subordinates understand what the lord means. However, my subordinates can only do their best in this matter, but I can't guarantee that it will be perfect."

Mo Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "You don't need to worry about this, Mr. Gu, you just need to do your best. You don't have to think about other things. If there is anything you can't solve, you can go to the palace to find Liu Qingrou. "

"Princess?" Gu Lianqing was taken aback for a moment, and then understood something. Don't look at Liu Qingrou is just a weak woman. Apart from doing business, she has never shown any great talent before.However, her status was unusual. Just being Liu Chengqi's daughter made many people feel jealous.

After all, although Liu Chengqi retired, Liu Qingrou still had two older sisters. These two older sisters were nothing in themselves, but their husbands were not ordinary people. Liu Qingrou's eldest sister married the prefect of Lingzhou. Although the prefect of the state is a civil servant, he holds several positions. He controls the [-] troops in Lingzhou and has been fighting against Tubo in the west. He is a man with both civil and military skills.Moreover, the land of Lingzhou is located in the border of the desert, and there is only one road connecting it to the outside world. It seems like an independent kingdom.Even in the middle of the court, sometimes, the control over here will be much weaker.

As for Liu Qingrou's second brother-in-law, he is a military general in Huazhou, an official and deputy commander, and he is currently fighting with the Southern Tang army.

These two people didn't have much contact with Mo Xiaochuan. When Liu Chengqi was here, they even rarely communicated with Liu Chengqi. The distance, but Liu Qingrou's identity is there after all, others will more or less label these two people as Mo Xiaochuan.If Liu Qingrou stepped forward, the effect would naturally be better.

What's more, now Liu Qingrou is Mo Xiaochuan's official wife, the old queen dowager is the matchmaker herself, and the emperor officiates the marriage. Although she is a woman without an official position, if she comes out, even the six ministers will need to salute her when they see her.

Since Mo Xiaochuan told Gu Lianqing to go to Liu Qingrou if he encountered something he couldn't solve, then he would have left behind some backhands, even if he didn't have any backhands, but as long as Liu Qingrou stepped forward, it would save him a lot of time. Trouble.With this backing, Gu Lianqing suddenly felt that he seemed to have a lot of confidence, and the sadness on his face dissipated, he nodded heavily, and said: "If the princess is willing to come forward, this subordinate will have some confidence."

Mo Xiaochuan nodded slightly, stood up, and said, "Since that's the case, I have something else to do, so I left first."

"Yes, I will send the prince off." Gu Lianqing followed Mo Xiaochuan out and sent Mo Xiaochuan out of the mansion. He watched the group leave before turning around.

Beside him, Second Young Master Gu stood straight, with a serious face, watching Mo Xiaochuan go away, his body also slowly bent down, and after a while, he returned to his original state. With a lazy look on weekdays, he raised his eyebrows at the servant next to him, with a smug look on his face.

Gu Lianqing saw it in his eyes, frowned, and said: "I only know how to be obsessed with women all day long, and I don't want to make progress. The prince is not as old as you. Don't you feel ashamed when you see the prince?"

Young Master Gu shook his head and said: "Who is the prince? Who am I? Who was born? Who was I born? Besides, I am older than the prince, and you are older than the prince." How big is it..."

Second Young Master Gu said with a look on his face, and the faces of the servants around him became ugly one by one.Second Young Master Gu's voice became smaller and smaller, and he seemed to realize that he was getting carried away. The person in front of him was his own father, not someone else...

Sure enough, Gu Lianqing's face darkened.

"Father, by the way, I seem to have forgotten to ask the lord something, the child is going first..." Second Young Master Gu hurriedly ran out of the gate, followed Mo Xiaochuan's footsteps, and disappeared in a flash.

Gu Lianqing's complexion changed, and he wanted to be chased back to punish him, but when he thought of what Mo Xiaochuan had told him, he felt heavy again, and he lost his focus on teaching his son, and walked back to the backyard.

After a while, Second Young Master Gu quietly turned back, saw that Gu Lianqing was no longer there, and swaggered down on the chair again, with a look of complacency on his face again.

The servant at the side saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could this good luck be real?In the past, if the second son dared to speak like this, it would be no wonder the master didn't beat him up, but today he didn't pursue it so easily...

The maid who accidentally touched Mo Xiaochuan before that also had bright eyes, and the expression on her face became more and more colorful.
