Value peace

Chapter 91 The Trip to Lingzhou

Tears flashed in Jiang Qingfeng's eyes: "I didn't dare to go through Jiazhou, so I asked Aunt Jiu to ask Uncle Fu to lead us to Hongtai to find out the truth. But I stood under the city wall and took a look. The garrison turned out to be Big Brother Gong's Fanbu, that's why they entered the city so easily."

Thinking of Gong Tao's attitude just now, Gu Xiyan felt heavy in her heart. She said bitterly, "What did Gong Tao say?"

Jiang Qingfeng's expression was cold: "Gong Tao asked me for the handwriting of the master and read it for a long time, but he didn't give me a confirmation letter. I wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb until I went out of the city in the middle of the night and asked my ancestors and aunts to help me secretly monitor Gong Tao and watch him play. What kind of tricks, who knows, but he left me to stay overnight in his mansion. When I went to the place where he lived, it was heavily guarded and used all the master's tiger benlang. I recognized one of the tiger benlang as the third master's disciple. I was feeling bad, but there happened to be a scout saying that two men and two women were found outside the city. I heard the description, and I was talking about you. In desperation, I had to come forward and admit that you are my companions. Gong Tao heard , actually led a team of Hu Benlang and me out of the city to pick up people..."

Jiang Qingfeng looked at Gu Xiyan seriously: "We must seize the time to eat and sleep now, and recharge our energy. Tomorrow, we still don't know what will happen?"

Gu Xiyan scrutinized Jiang Qingfeng's expression carefully, trying to find any hypocrisy or affectation in it.

Jiang Qingfeng's eyes were calm and sincere, and he let Gu Xiyan look at her generously.

It would be terrible if he was telling a lie.

What is there for him to remember?
Could it be, that private seal!

But this is not right, except for Qi Maosheng and himself, no one knows that the private seal is in his hands now?
After thinking about it, Gu Xiyan couldn't get an answer, and was confused for a while.

She decided not to pursue the issue for now.

"Do you have any secrets?" Gu Xiyan asked.

Jiang Qingfeng's peaceful gaze was surging like a turbulent wave for a moment, and a murderous look oozes between his brows: "Only after seeing Gong Tao tomorrow, I will play by ear!"

In other words, Jiang Qingfeng didn't want to know his plan himself!
Neither of them talked any more, they remained silent until Duan Yingluo knocked on the door: "It's time to eat."

Gu Xiyan stretched out her hand to touch the kang that was about to burn, and said, "Sister Duan, eat with me, it's warmer here."

Duan Yingluo hesitated for a moment.

But Jiang Qingfeng said: "Aunt Patriarch, please follow Miss Gu every step of the way, it's too unsafe here."

Duan Yingluo smiled wryly, brought food in and ate with Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan doesn't believe anyone now, but she must confirm Duan Yingluo's position as soon as possible.

She thought for a while, then asked Duan Yingluo with a smile: "Why does Sister Duan suddenly want me to come to Lingzhou?"

"Ah!" Duan Yingluo's eyes widened.

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "Sister Duan helped me leave Shengjing, and Mrs. Li and Mr. Yuan were used at the beginning. From the looks of Mrs. Li, she seems to be a respected elder. She really wanted to help me leave. I just don't understand, did my sister make up her mind to lure me to Lingzhou since I started having diarrhea, or did she change her mind after meeting Jiang Qingfeng?"

Duan Yingluo blushed and looked sorry: "The diarrhea thing was really an accident!"

She did not deny Gu Xiyan's words, which finally made Gu Xiyan feel better.

"Girl, although you are young, you have insight into the world. Some things, I don't say, you should be able to imagine." Duan Yingluo thought for a while, then said softly, "Nan Xiuluo has worked hard for a living in the court all these years, and his achievements are very good. However, the disciples from Xiufeng Dojo have formed their own faction in the army. But we Bei Shura can only do some things like bodyguards and guards. The most embarrassing thing is that they are also from the Shura sect. However, his disciples acted as guards for the disciples of Nan Shura whose martial arts cultivation level was far inferior to his own. Under his instigation, he would not speak up, and sometimes he would listen to some gossip. ...Since my master, we people from North Shura have been in contact with the four major kingdoms' mansions, and the one with the best cooperation is the Yan State mansion."

Qi Maosheng probably also knew the strangeness of this, so he sent Jiang Qingfeng to the main altar of South Shura.

But even so, why didn't Duan Yingluo obey Qi Maosheng's instructions?

Gu Xiyan's heart froze, and she said cautiously: "As soon as I saw you, I asked you what Qi Hao said to you. You said at the time that he just asked you to wait on me, and if you have anything to do, run errands ..."

Duan Yingluo sneered: "Girl, why are you so confused when you encounter something about yourself?"

Gu Xiyan looked at her puzzled.

"Who is the Duke of the country, can you still bluntly say that it is impossible for me to take you away." Duan Yingluo smiled, "Even if it is a kidnapping, the girl must be willing."

Gu Xiyan's heart was pounding: "What do you mean?"

"Knowing that you will not obediently obey the family's arrangement, you have sent a top expert by your side, and you still haven't concealed my identity." Duan Yingluo giggled, "Master Guo has set up a net, waiting The girl jumped in!"

"Ah!", Gu Xiyan couldn't help covering her heart.

Her heart was beating so fast that it was difficult for her to breathe.

Duan Yingluo said: "As the girl said, Shuramen taught me kung fu, provided me with food and drink, now is the time for me to contribute, how can I not hear the implication, and spoil the elegance of the Duke of the country?" What's up!"

Gu Xiyan blushed.

Because the first time I met Qi Maosheng was when Ye Zisu and Fang Shaoqing eloped, I thought he was the weaker side, and then I had the help of Dicui Pavilion, and then I was reluctant to let go... …

Too shameful!

Being plotted by this guy again and again!
Even so, Gu Xiyan felt that the moment of Qi Maosheng that she had always missed was so real.

Even gave birth to a feeling of sympathy.

Qi Maosheng is the same as himself in many ways.

In the Xiangyu Pavilion, the outspoken anger shown by him smashing the furniture, his helpless fulfillment after Ye Zisu and Fang Shaoqing fell in love with each other, his lonely back when they left, his neat attitude after giving up...all are like the scenes of a movie flashed through her mind.

Although Qi Maosheng is calm, he is not indifferent; although he is calm, he is not dull; although he is persistent, he is not stubborn; although he is tolerant, he is not magnanimous...he is a real person just like himself, and he abides by society. While adhering to the mainstream virtues, he will play a little bit of tricks that are beneficial to himself.

For a moment, Gu Xiyan's heart softened enough to drip water.

Duan Yingluo saw that Gu Xiyan's face was flushed, and her bright eyes seemed to be burning like a ball of fire, and she thought that her sneer had annoyed her.

Things have come to this point, so don't lose your merits because of it.

Duan Yingluo played a sympathy card.She lowered her voice: "I just don't know how the Duke is doing now?"

Gu Xiyan was stunned.

Yeah, I don't know what happened to this guy?
"After dinner, I have to tell Jiang Qingfeng that if anyone asks, I have to make up a story." Duan Yingluo frowned slightly, "The situation is unclear now, if you really get involved with the Duke relationship, but what happened?”

Back in reality, the softness in her heart turned into softness in her body, Gu Xiyan smiled wryly a little helplessly.

Neither of them had the appetite to eat, and they picked up the dishes one after another, thinking about their own thoughts.

* * * * * *
Everyone had eaten and was about to go to bed when the sound of "Huo Huo" trampling suddenly sounded in the silent night.

Duan Yingluo and Gu Xiyan put on their clothes and stood up, listening quietly.

Jiang Qingfeng and Hum whispered, but couldn't hear the specific content.

After a while, Jiang Qingfeng came to knock on the door and said: "Aunt Patriarch, Master Gong wants to see our Asura Sect members."

"Now?" Duan Yingluo asked while putting on her clothes.

"Hmm!" Jiang Qingfeng replied sullenly.

Duan Yingluo and Gu Xiyan hurriedly put on her clothes, and when she was about to go out, Duan Yingluo seemed to suddenly remember something and wanted to help Gu Xiyan tie the sleeve arrow to her elbow.

Gu Xiyan refused: "In the affairs of this world, I am most afraid of being half-baked. Either you are like you and have excellent martial arts skills, or you are like me and have no martial arts at all."

Duan Yingluo was startled.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "If someone asks, you should tell the truth, just don't mention that the person who entrusted you to be my bodyguard is Qi Hao. Only half of the ten sentences can be a lie, so that you can be deceived." People!"

Duan Yingluo smiled indifferently, put the Xiujian in her bag, pulled the door and walked out with her back straight.

Gu Xiyan laughed at herself, and followed her out.

After going out, I realized that everyone was already dressed, and only the two of them were waiting.

The officer with a big knife on his waist looked at them carefully, secretly counted the number of people, and said: "Everyone is here, let's go!" After speaking, he took the lead out of the gate of the inn.

Surrounded by a group of soldiers, Gu Xiyan and his entourage turned a corner and came to the street, walked eastward for less than an arrow's distance, and came to Hongtai's yamen.

The gate of the yamen was closed tightly, surrounded by soldiers guarding groups, and two officers who looked like officers were standing on the steps of the yamen, patrolling back and forth.

The officer who led Gu Xiyan and the others here untied the badge from his waist and handed it to one of the officers. The man walked aside, carefully looked at the badge with the help of a torch for a while, and then handed the badge to another Officer, that officer also went to the torch to look carefully at the badge, and then the two nodded to each other. The officer with the badge knocked on the gate of the yamen. After a while, the yamen opened a crack, and the officer took the badge Handed in.

Gu Xiyan and his party were suddenly summoned in the middle of the night, and seeing that these officers were so cautious, everyone couldn't help feeling uneasy, and gave each other "careful" winks.Fortunately, not long after the waist card was handed in, the door "squeaked" open, and the officer who led Gu Xiyan and the others here saw this, made a gesture of "go in" to them, and led the way ahead. yamen.

Gu Xiyan and the others followed hesitantly.

Inside the yamen, there were only three or two night duty officers standing behind the main gate, and two lanterns hung on the high eaves, shadowy and shadowy reflecting the snow-white branches, emitting a silvery light.

They followed the officer through the corridor and into the backyard of the yamen.

Curved corridors, screen walls, and exquisite turnover, it turned out to be a courtyard pattern of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

In this cold place, there is such an elegant place.

Everyone felt absurd.
