The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 333 Counterattack (two more)

After all, the old Hou Ye didn't let Gu Yan pay the bill, he took out the money bag, took out a silver nude from inside and handed it to Xiao Er, but he may have taken it too fast, and even brought out a pipa knot made of red string.

Gu Yan quickly picked up the pipa knot, the pipa knot looked old, faded and frayed.

It's hard to imagine that such a strong man would have such a thing in his purse.

"A gift from your confidante?" Gu Yan asked.

At first glance, it was a gift from a woman, but it could not be from the old lady in the mansion. He and Mrs. Gu are in perfect harmony, so he would not wear something from her.

"Cough, no, don't talk nonsense." Old Hou Ye put the pipa knot back into the purse.

Gu Yan didn't believe it, he asked curiously: "I can't tell, you still have a confidante, where is she now?"

It must not be at the mansion, the old aunt in the mansion has been cleaned up by Mrs. Gu.

Old Hou Ye has never mentioned his feelings to others in these years, so much bitterness has been pent up in his heart, and to be honest, he does have a little desire to confide.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "It belongs to a friend of mine. He left it with me. I'm going to return it to him."

my friend?

What a familiar beginning!

Gu Yan, who had read all the storybooks of Lao Jijiu's Fengyue story, said that he understood it very well!

He frowned handsomely: "Then where is your friend's confidante now?"

Old Hou Ye sighed sadly: "She... has become a monk."

"Why did you become a monk?" Gu Yan asked.

"Husband passed away, I couldn't help myself. But..." When he said this, the old Hou Ye paused, "Maybe it was to be able to see my friend again in my lifetime."

I can't see that the old man is so attractive to women.

Gu Yan didn't ask about the reason why he couldn't help himself. His focus was on the last sentence, and he said thoughtfully: "It seems that this confidante has a deep affection for your friend."

Old Hou Ye looked down at the concentric knot in his hand and said, "It's a pity we met too late, I wish we could meet when we were not married."

Gu Yan said: "But isn't her husband already dead? And she also became a nun for your friend, don't you think her heart...well, I mean, can't your friend really see it?" ?”

Old Hou Ye frowned: "You mean—"

Gu Yan said: "I mean, she may have been waiting for your friend to take her away.

"

"Take her...to leave?" Old Hou Ye was startled, this child is so inconceivable that he can't stop talking!

Gu Yan nodded: "Yes. Let me ask you, why does your friend think she became a monk just to meet him? Did she say this herself? Or, she made your friend feel her friendship for your friend. "

"...Yes." Old Hou Ye nodded and admitted.

Gu Yan slapped the table with a slap: "That's it! She is a woman, and it is her limit to show a little friendship. She can't just talk about you elope with me. This kind of thing has to be done." We men take the initiative!"

The old Hou Ye was stunned by Gu Yan's words, and he forgot to say that you are only fifteen, and you are still young, so you can't be considered a real man.

"This, this is too rebellious!"

How did this kid grow up to be more courageous than his three older brothers!

Gu Yan: "What's so outrageous? Go for it if you like it."

Old Hou Ye hesitated: "In case she doesn't want to—"

"If you don't want to, it means that she doesn't have that friend of yours in her heart!" Gu Yan patted his grandfather on the shoulder, and analyzed for him based on his senior experience in reading the storybooks of Fengyue, "She has already become a monk, and she is still a friend." What can't be done? If she doesn't want to elope, then there is only one truth - she doesn't like your friend, she just keeps using your friend's feelings for her!"

-

Gu Jiao had been busy all morning in the medical hall, and finally had a little leisure in the afternoon. It was rare for her not to have to clean up the black powder, so she lay down on the rattan chair under the big tree to cool off for a while.

Across the wall, Li Wanwan is practicing piano.

She is used to coming here to practice the piano for Gu Jiao at this time every day, but she doesn't know if Gu Jiao is there every time.

Her piano skills have greatly improved compared to years ago, but today she doesn't know if she has something on her mind, so she plays absent-mindedly.

"You played it wrong again." Gu Jiao said flatly.

"Ah." Li Wanwan's face paled, she didn't expect the girl to be here today, after all, the girl hadn't listened to her piano practice for several days.

She straightened her expression and said, "I, I will play it again."

The results are still not satisfactory.

She was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

It's strange, the other party is obviously not her wife, but she is even more nervous than in front of his wife.

"Sorry, I should concentrate more..." She bit her lip and said in a low voice, "I might not be able to come next month... I... I'm going to get married..."

In fact, her age is not very old, she is only sixteen. This dynasty is no better than the previous dynasty. Women who marry at the age of eighteen or nineteen will not be criticized.

It's just that it also depends on the specific market situation. A wealthy family can afford it, and a woman from a poor family like her must marry early.

I heard that girls in the country get married earlier, thinking about it this way, I'm lucky, at least I made it to sixteen, caught up with the good time and went to girls' school for half a year, and because of the girl's school, I got to know girls and got so many girls guidance.

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

No one will play the piano for me in the future.

When will Xiao Jiangli learn the piano?

"I have been wanting to say goodbye to the girl these days, and I want to say thank you to the girl. The biggest achievement I have gained in the girls' school is to know the girl. Originally, my family would drop me out of school after the next year. The song that the girl changed for me made me I was favored by Master Xie Le, and with his insistence, my family let me study for another half a year."

Li Wanwan said, her cheeks flushed slightly, "Speaking of which, this marriage is also thanks to the girl. I play the piano well, and a son of a family heard it, and he came to ask my father for marriage."

Gu Jiao didn't see her expression, but it was not difficult to hear her longing for marriage in her words. It seemed that she also liked that young master.

"Girl, I... can I give you something? You have taught me so much, and I would be very sorry if I just left. Please accept my thank you gift. It's not a valuable thing, a small medicine Bag, please accept it with a smile."

"En." Gu Jiao responded lightly.

Li Wanwan was overjoyed, and took out the medicine bag that had been rusted for several nights from her wide sleeve, so as not to be too light to throw it, she put a few dates in it.

"Girl, go on!"

She threw the medicine bag over the courtyard wall.

Gu Jiao caught it with one hand: "Thank you."

Li Wanwan smiled brightly: "It should be! Then, I'm leaving! In the last few days, I will try my best to play a few more songs for the girl. If I don't come one day, it means... I won't come again."

At the end, she suddenly felt a little lost.

I can't bear the girl.

In the future, I don't know if I will meet such a person who is both a teacher and a friend.

She packed the guqin, picked up the case and left.

Snapped!

A small kit landed on her piano case impartially.

She was slightly taken aback: "Girl?"

"Wedding gift." Gu Jiao said.

Li Wanwan smiled happily, like a child.

"Miss Gu, Miss Gu! Someone wants to call a doctor, saying that the situation is critical!" The third son ran over in a hurry.

"How urgent is it?" Gu Jiao asked.

The third son said in fear: "Hand... Broken hand! Cut it off! It's a woodcutter!"

This is considered a major surgery, and Gu Jiao has to go there in person.

"Okay, I'll go." Gu Jiao put on a small pannier, and the third son drove the car to the mansion on Qingliu Street that the boy said.

As he walked, Xiao Sanzi felt something was wrong: "Huh? This is not the way to Qingliu Street!"

The young man rode in front, and didn't turn his head when he heard the words, and said, "When I came, the road was being built over there, we have to go around here."

"What's wrong? Is the road wrong?" Gu Jiao asked lightly.

"It's a bit of a detour." The third son muttered.

Gu Jiao opened the curtain and looked at the scene along the street.

Not every street in the capital is bustling and bustling, and some remote places are very desolate.

This is an old street with few pedestrians and few shops. Further forward is an official road with wheat fields on both sides.

That's right, the capital is also in Arita, but they are all in relatively remote areas.

"It's really a good place to ambush..."

This is an instinct that was cultivated when I was a killer in my previous life. When I see a location, I will always subconsciously judge whether it is suitable for a crime.

But as soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she stopped.

Something is wrong.

Something is very wrong.

It's killer instinct.

Gu Jiao lowered the curtains and opened the front roller blinds. She shot a silver needle and pierced the servant who was leading the way.

The boy let out a scream, and fell down from the horse.

"Miss Gu, you—" Xiaosanzi was dumbfounded.

"Turn around!" Gu Jiao didn't have time to explain to him.

The third son is indeed a person who has seen the world with Gu Jiao, and he did not lose the chain at the critical moment. If the second boss was here, he might have fainted from the crowd.

He didn't ask why he turned around, he believed in Gu Jiao.

It's a pity that it was already too late, the people in black who were ambushing under the ridge of the field rushed towards Gu Jiao's carriage like arrows.

Everyone held a gleaming big knife in their hands, their eyes were sharp, and their murderous aura was like a rainbow!

Gu Jiao knew that there were ten people on the other side without counting.

Really think highly of her, sent so many people to surround and kill her!

"you go first!"

Gu Jiao jumped off the carriage.

The third son didn't pretend to leave, he knew that he was weak and didn't know martial arts, so if he stayed, he would only become a burden to Miss Gu.

It's better to report to the officials as soon as possible, maybe they can bring rescue soldiers for Miss Gu.

Of course, it would be good if he could lure away a few assassins.

For Miss Gu, he fought hard!

"Come on! Assassins!"

He tugged on the reins and looked back.

Uh, none of them caught up...

Gu Jiao was surrounded by men in black.

She glanced coldly: "Let's go together, it's too tiring to come one by one."

The men in black Qiqi showed contempt in their eyes, and rushed towards Gu Jiao with a knife in hand.

"Just try my black powder with you guys." Gu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, but unfortunately there are only three of them, and she doesn't know how powerful they are.

In her previous life, she played with a small throwing cannon that exploded without igniting it and throwing it on the ground.

The black gunpowder she made has the same effect as the small smashing cannon, but it is more powerful.

Gu Jiao took out a piece of black gunpowder and threw it on a man in black. There was a loud bang, and the man in black was knocked unconscious.

So-so.

Gu Jiao was neither too satisfied nor disappointed.

She blew herself up to the sky mainly because she used a lot of materials, so it's not too bad that such a small particle can knock people out.

This group of assassins had never seen such a weird hidden weapon. It was so powerful and powerful that everyone was startled by the explosion.

Everyone looked at Gu Jiao with fear.

Gu Jiao hooked the corners of her lips coldly, grabbed the knife from one of them, and knocked him away with a punch.

Only then did the rest of them come to their senses, and rushed towards Gu Jiao again.

However, the bombing just now directly wiped out their morale, Gu Jiao solved it quickly, and after the last assassin fell, Gu Jiao clapped her hands lightly.

But what no one expected was that a dangerous breath approached suddenly.

What a terrible breath!

Gu Jiao's heart skipped a beat, she couldn't escape.

That man is too fast!

At the very moment, a ray of sword light slashed down, blocking the man's assassination, then stretched out another arm, wrapped around Gu Jiao's waist, and led her back quickly.

"Wait for me here!"

After Gu Changqing finished speaking, he took his sword and killed the opponent.

This was the first time that Gu Jiao saw Gu Changqing fight with someone in real meaning. He was much stronger than imagined, but he was still not the opponent of the opponent.

That was a person that even Gu Jiao would feel a little afraid of.

This person's strength is stronger than his previous life.

How could this be?

Who is he?

Gu Changqing hit the opponent's palm and stabilized his body with his sword.

Gu Jiao took out the last two pieces of black powder and threw them at the opponent!

The man thought it was an ordinary hidden weapon, and when he slashed with his sword, he heard two loud bangs. It is unknown whether the man was frightened or shocked by the black powder.

In short, he took a few steps back, and a trace of surprise flashed across his cold eyes.

Didn't both of them blow up?

Worthy of being a master of masters

Gu Jiao put her hand into the purse as a gesture and continued to dig out, but in fact it was gone, she just wanted to bluff the other party, but luckily she did.

The other party glanced at Gu Jiao coldly, performed lightness kung fu and left.

Gu Changqing looked at the direction the other party was leaving, suddenly covered his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Jiao hurriedly stepped forward to feel his pulse.

Gu Changqing waved his hand: "I'm fine, I have a little internal injury, just take a rest and I'll be fine."

As he spoke, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his knuckles, retracted the long sword into its scabbard with the other hand, looked at Gu Jiao and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Gu Jiao shook her head.

Gu Changqing whistled, and his horse galloped over.

The two brothers and sisters got on the horse.

"These people?" Gu Jiao looked at the man in black who had fainted on the ground.

Gu Changqing seems to be very experienced: "I can't ask anything, the talent just now is the key, these few are just small-timers who do things with money, and they don't even know the identity of the benefactor."

Gu Jiao nodded.

The two brothers and sisters went back to Bishui Hutong.

The old Jijiu had just returned from the Imperial College, when he saw the pale Gu Changqing, he frowned: "What happened?"

Gu Changqing looked at Gu Jiao and said, "I met a group of assassins."

"Assassin?" The old Jijiu's eyes wandered over the two of them, "The one who assassinated you or the one who assassinated Jiaojiao?"

"The one who assassinated me." Gu Jiao said truthfully.

She jumped off the horse, handed Gu Changqing her hand, and helped him down.

The old Jijiu looked around, pulled the horse's rein, and said to the two: "You follow me."

...

"You mean that man's martial arts might not even match your grandfather's?"

After hearing what happened, the old Jijiu frowned deeply, "Impossible...how could your grandfather's skills be inferior to an assassin?"

"That man's aura is very..." Gu Jiao wanted to say she was familiar with it, because she smelled the same kind of aura on the other person, and the other person was a killing machine just like herself in the previous life.

"Weird." Gu Changqing finished what she hadn't finished for Gu Jiao, "It's different from the masters I've seen before, with different martial arts methods and different internal strength, and - he has tattoos on his face!"

The man was wearing a mask, but Gu Jiao threw out that strange hidden weapon and blew a piece of the other's mask.

He saw half of the tattoo.

"What kind of tattoo?" The old Jijiu brought a pen and paper, "Draw it for me."

Gu Changqing drew half a tail.

The old Jijiu's expression changed: "It's the Dragon Shadow Guard!"

"What is Dragon Shadow Guard?" Gu Jiao asked.

However, Gu Changqing had already understood, and his expression became serious: "It's the dead man of the late emperor."

The old Jijiu pondered: "In order to deal with Zhuang Jinse, the late emperor secretly trained a group of dead soldiers. The youngest was only five years old. Before he died, he passed them on to His Majesty."

Gu Changqing frowned: "Your Majesty wants to kill Jiaojiao?"

The old Jijiu waved his hand: "No. Your Majesty loves Jiaojiao very much, and it is impossible to hurt her. His Majesty once transferred the Dragon Shadow Guard to another person to protect her from Zhuang Jinse's persecution."

Gu Changqing said in astonishment: "That person is—"

The old Jijiu said seriously: "Concubine Jing."

Gu Changqing gasped!

Old Jijiu: I, the No. 1 green tea in Zhaoguo, will never admit that anyone has tea better than me!
