The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 695 Arrogance (Part 1)

Tianqiong Academy is on holiday today, Gu Jiao heard the passing merchants say when she was going to the market to buy vegetables, the Master of the State Teacher came back to Shengdu in the middle of the night, and there was a queue outside the Palace of the State Teacher to see the State Teacher early in the morning long dragon.

"Do so many people want to see the national teacher?"

The vegetable vendor asked the merchant who was drinking soy milk at the next stall, and said to Gu Jiao, "Ten knives."

Gu Jiao handed over ten knives to the vegetable vendor, and put two fresh big gourds into the small basket behind her.

The merchant gulped down half a bowl before sweating profusely and said, "Isn't that right? It took three miles to queue! The carriages almost couldn't pass! If I hadn't rushed out of the city to do business, I would have queued there too. Row!"

The last time Gu Jiao went to the National Teacher Hall to inquire about the whereabouts of the National Teacher, Ye Qing told her that the National Teacher would come back at the beginning of the month, if not at the latest.

It would be best not to wait until the end of the month, after all, the longer Gu Yan's condition was delayed, the worse it would be.

Gu Jiao returned to the house with the vegetables she bought.

"I'm back." Seeing the beads of sweat on her forehead, Mrs. Nan hurriedly took her small pannier and said, "I didn't expect Shengdu to be so hot this year, are you bored?"

It was about Gu Jiao's corset.

Gu Jiao grew up so well in the past two years, in order to cover the woman's body, she had to wrap her tightly around her body, and Mrs. Nan even warmed her up for her.

Gu Jiao said: "It's okay."

can bear.

Nan Shiniang said distressedly: "It's really hard for you, I boiled mint water, and it will be fine in a while."

"Nan Shiniang, I won't drink anymore, I'm going into the inner city." Gu Jiao said, "The national teacher is back."

Master Nan's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Gu Jiao nodded: "Well, I just heard the news at the market, so I want to try my luck and see if I can see the national teacher."

Nan Shiniang looked at Gu Yan who was listlessly basking in the sun on the porch, and understood that Gu Yan's condition could not be delayed any longer: "Is it true that the sooner the operation is performed, the greater the chance of recovery?"

"Yes." Gu Jiao said, if it takes too long, the operation may be useless.

Master Nan didn't want to keep her any longer, and asked Master Lu to prepare a carriage for Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao took the token of the Six Kingdoms Chess Master in the room, and she rummaged on the table: "Huh? Where's the token? I obviously put it here."

"here."

Old Mr. Meng appeared at the door, holding a kit in his hand with the token inside.

"Oh.

"Gu Jiao walked over and took the kit, "Oh, you took it." "

Mr. Meng said casually, "Just take it. Are you planning to go to the city alone?"

"Yes." Gu Jiao said.

Mr. Meng cleared his throat: "You won't take me?"

Gu Jiao looked at him strangely: "What are you taking me for?"

Mr. Meng said, "Go to the National Teacher Hall?"

Gu Jiao said sternly: "The national teacher knows the chess master of the Six Kingdoms, and you will be betrayed when you go."

True Six Kingdoms Chess Master Mr. Meng: "..."

Thinking of something, Gu Jiao said: "No, you still have to go, otherwise you won't be able to enter the city for a while."

However, Mr. Meng really needs to go to the city today. He has to meet someone near the National Teacher Hall, and he will go with Gu Jiao on the way.

Master Lu prepared the carriage, and Master Lu planned to use another horse, but the horse king beat Master Lu and his companion together, and then it came out to pull the cart with arrogance!

It also didn't forget to put Gu Jiao's small medicine box and small back basket on the carriage. It can be said that the service is very considerate!

After Gu Jiao got into the carriage, Mr. Meng also got up.

Gu Jiao lowered the curtain and said to Ma Wang: "It's fine, let's go."

Ma Wang grinned wide, raised his front hooves, and rushed out with a whoosh!

Mr. Meng was caught off guard, leaned back, and bumped into the wall of the car!

The king of horses is running so fast!

The oncoming wind blew in, blowing the car curtains high, bumping and crackling on the walls of the car.

Mr. Meng was so blown away that he couldn't love him. He stretched out his arms and stuck them against the wall of the car behind him without any resistance. He felt that he couldn't open his eyes, and even the creases on his face seemed to be shaking. Got blown flat.

What a crazy little horse this is!

The carriage gallops fast on the street, overtaking when it sees a car, and rushes forward!

By the time he stopped to pass the checkpoint at the inner city gate, Mr. Meng had already been blown into a fried lion.

This time, Mr. Meng didn't let Gu Jiao put his head down and say a shameful line, because the guards guarding the city let him go when they saw the token of the Six Kingdoms Chess Master.

Mr. Meng heaved a sigh of relief.

Ma Wang has never been to the National Teacher Hall, so he still has to show the way.

After entering the inner city, Gu Jiao sat on the outer seat of the carriage.

Today's Shengdu is extremely congested, and the carriage was blocked halfway after running for a long time.

On the side of a tea house on the street, in the side room on the second floor facing the street, a man in black shirt in his thirties sat in front of the window, looking at the traffic jammed into traffic.

One of the carriages caught his attention.

The carriage itself is nothing new, mainly the horse.

The other horses stayed where they were, but he couldn't calm down, looking around and catching butterflies.

"What kind of stupid horse is this?" the man muttered, and after a while, his gaze followed the horse to the coachman.

The coachman was a young man in Tsing Yi, with a red birthmark on his left cheek.

"It's him?" The corner of the man's lips twitched slightly, "He actually entered the inner city."

Han Shizi followed his gaze, and soon found Gu Jiao in the carriage. He frowned: "Xiao Liulang? Master, do you know him?"

The man called master by Han Shizi is none other than Nan Shiniang's former senior brother Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan looked at the young man in Tsing Yi who was sitting in the carriage and was stuck in the traffic jam, and smiled lightly: "I told you that I met my little junior sister from the Tang Sect last time. There is one thing I didn't say, an interesting person appeared next to my little junior sister."

"It's Xiao Liulang?" Han Shizi was surprised.

Qi Xuan laughed and said, "I think, I guess who killed Nangong Li."

Han Shizi frowned and said, "You don't mean to say that the murderer is Xiao Liulang?"

Qi Xuan smiled and shook the teacup in his hand: "I can't think of anyone else except him."

Han Shizi shook his head: "How could he kill Nangong Li with his martial arts? Nangong Li lost his arm, but even so, Xiao Liulang is definitely not Nangong Li's opponent."

Qi Xuan said: "Last time he defeated several Shaolin monks who practiced body training. I remember that the use of internal force is prohibited in your shooting competition."

Han Shizi said: "That's right."

Qi Xuan laughed and said, "How many people do you think can defeat Shaolin body-training monks without using internal strength? Also, didn't the autopsy result come out? Nangong Li was not injured internally. , he was killed by someone using a tree branch as a spear to pierce through his heart. As far as I know, only the Xuanyuan family's marksmanship can do this."

Han Shizi was shocked.

Qi Xuan looked at the young man in the carriage: "When I went to see my little junior sister, I fought against this man named Xiao Liulang. Although he only made one move, I can be sure that he used the Xuanyuan family's weapon at that time." marksmanship!"

Han Shizi frowned: "Two doubts, first, why did he kill Nangong Li? Second, how could he know the Xuanyuan family's marksmanship?"

Qi Xuan took a sip of tea: "I don't know, this young man seems to be hiding a lot of secrets. Don't tell me, did the Han family find out that Nangong Li had secretly visited Zhao Kingdom not long ago? Not long after he came back, Shengdu came A few Zhao people, don't you think there is something to do with it?"

Han Shizi said: "My second uncle guessed that those Zhaoguo people were masters brought by Nangong Li from Zhaoguo to deal with our Han family. However, if it is true as Master said, Nangong Li died at the hands of Xiao Liulang , then Xiao Liulang and the Nangong family are not in the same group."

Qi Xuan said with a smile: "The relationship between people is not limited to friends, it can also be confrontation. Maybe Nangong Li offended anyone in Zhao Kingdom."

Han Shizi pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "If Xiao Liulang is really so powerful, then maybe the Han family can put aside their previous suspicions and consider taking him for their own use."

Qi Xuan lightly put down his teacup, picked up a crab cake on a plate, looked at the delicate and delicious crab cake and said: "I'm afraid you can't buy him off."

Han Shizi was puzzled and said, "Why did Master say that?"

Qi Xuan gestured with his eyes: "Do you still remember when you were sacked in the street? Here, that kid did it."

Han Shizi was shocked: "How could it be... him?"

Qi Xuan said: "I found half a Tanghua needle that broke into the crack of the wall at the place where your accident happened. More than ten years old, the figure is still different from that of a teenager."

Han Shizi recalled: "The one who sneaked up on me that day... was indeed a young man."

Qi Xuan said with emotion: "This kid is really not simple. He also knows the Xuanyuan family's marksmanship, and also learned our Tang Sect's hidden weapons."

Han Shizi's expression was complicated: "It's really not easy to dare to offend the two great families at once."

Qi Xuan looked at the street that was beginning to be cleared, his smile gradually faded, and he said seriously: "Offended? No, he didn't pay attention to the family at all."
