Return after the phoenix falls

Chapter 114 An Ran’s Cause of Death (1)
Gu Minglang dragged his exhausted body back to the general's mansion. The queen dowager returned to the palace in the past few days, and the emperor also had resentment towards him. The work assigned in the past few days was much more tiring than before, and most of the time he even had a rest. There is no time, and the meal is just a few mouthfuls and then called by Emperor Jin, but there is no business, and he just stands outside the hall as a guard for a long time.

Gu Minglang knew that it was his indifference these years that made Emperor Jin accumulate a lot of anger and resentment, but he used these days to express the resentment in his heart.

As soon as I got home, I couldn't help being called by Gu's father to teach him a lesson. When he mentioned his elder brother Gu Mingxuan, Gu's father stared at him: "Asshole! What are you doing these days? You don't even know that your elder brother escorted King Xuan to Huizhou?" ?”

Only then did Gu Minglang remember that Gu Mingxuan had gone to Huizhou with King Xuan a few days ago, and was immediately taught a lesson by Gu's father without warning, so he didn't speak, just bowed his head and accepted it.

Gu's father also understood that these few days Gu Minglang left early and returned late. He was afraid that he would be tired due to the many affairs in the palace, so he would not be able to teach him a lesson. He just said indifferently: "Be more careful in the future, go down and rest."

Gu Minglang nodded, turned around and went out. Back in his own courtyard, the withered pear tree came into view. He sat on the stone chair under the tree, raised his head quietly and looked at the half-hidden moon in the sky alone, his heart ached. Pain like suffocation, thoughts are flying, but leaning against the tree weakly, leaning lazily, has a bit of the unrestrained and unrestrained elegance of a few years ago.

Coming back every day, sitting under this tree for a while has become his habit, an indelible habit.

Summer has passed, and even the pear tree can't escape the end of withering. Gu Minglang opened his eyes and saw a yellowed leaf falling in front of him. With a thought, he stretched out his hand to catch it, and it slowly fell on the palm of his hand.

The yellowed leaves were still distinct, without the vitality of the past. Gu Minglang sighed, and suddenly the leaf in his hand fluttered to the ground without the wind blowing, and a strong wind blew straight at Gu Minglang's face.

A cold light flashed, and a man in black came out from nowhere, and the slender cold sword in his hand shone brightly in the dark night, reaching directly to Gu Minglang's heart.

Gu Minglang turned over and dodged the fatal blow. The man in black didn't stop because of this, and rushed towards Gu Minglang again. Gu Minglang's heart moved, he lifted the wooden stick under his feet with his feet, and melted into the night He rushed towards the man in black, the piercing sound of the sword on the wooden stick spread throughout the small courtyard, but no one came to check.

The two fought inseparably. Gu Minglang was agile, but the man in black was not a light-saving lamp. When they were entangled with each other, Gu Minglang hit the man in black with his strong stick on the back. People fell to the ground.

Gu Minglang stepped forward, pointed the wooden stick at the man in black, and said, "Who are you? You dare to trespass into the general's mansion and try to assassinate me, do you want to kill me?"

The man in black looked at him, with a stubborn look in his eyes, and said softly: "The guard Gu is very skilled, he is worthy of defeating tens of thousands of enemies on the battlefield back then."

Gu Minglang frowned, this delicate voice was obviously a woman's voice, he, Gu Minglang, had fought against a woman for so long just now, and was almost hurt by her, what a joke!

"Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate me?"

The woman in black sneered: "Head of the Guard is a busy person, how can he remember me, a person who has no real name? However, looking at the pear trees in the garden, the Chief of the Guard may have other thoughts about Empress Zhenjia."

Mentioning Fu Anran, Gu Minglang pointed a stick at the woman in black and said angrily, "Who the hell are you!"

"Chief Guard Gu, do you know the real cause of Empress Zhenjia's death?"

For a moment, Gu Minglang was at a loss, his hand holding the wooden stick trembled slightly, his eyes were not as firm as before, and became free, as if he didn't want to face what the woman said.
