First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 946: Brother Control, the Wrath of the God of War (two updates)

Xiao Heng wondered: "But isn't the little medicine box yours? Why does it appear on Dark Night Island?"

Gu Jiao shook her head: "I don't know."

This is indeed a mystery, and even she has no clue.

 The two decided to ask Chang Jing.

 “Has your box ever appeared on our island? I don’t know.”

In the garden of the Hou Mansion, Chang Jing said with a confused look. Then he asked the same question as Xiao Heng: "How come your things appear on our island? You have never been to our island."

If Gu Jiao knew the answer, she wouldn't have asked Chang Jing. She added, "How much do you know about the first island owner?"

Chang Jing said helplessly: "Dark Night Island was originally a deserted island. After he came, he transformed it into a sect, took in nearby fishermen, and planted comfrey. That's all I know. You want to know more Regarding the first island owner, you may have to ask my father, even Uncle Li doesn’t know much about it.”

 “Is he a man or a woman?” Xiao Heng suddenly asked.

Chang Jing said subconsciously: "A man..."

Xiao Heng said seriously: "What does it mean to be a man? Are you sure or not?"

Chang Jing thought for a while: "No one has told me. But aren't all island owners men? Are there women as island owners? If so, can my sister also be the island owner? That way I don't have to inherit. It’s the Dark Night Gate.”

The two of them exchanged a look. Little Chang Jing's child's state of mind was completely different from theirs.

 No wonder he plays better with Headroom.

Xiao Heng said to Gu Jiao: "I will investigate them, you don't have to worry."

"good."

Gu Jiao is not a person who gives up eating because of choking. Although the people from Jianlu sneak into the capital, they can still live their lives as they should.

 After breakfast, Gu Jiao took Xiao Jingkong with her and got on the carriage going for an outing.

Xiao Jingkong shook her calves and whispered: "Jiaojiao, let's not go on an outing, right?"

 “Why?” Gu Jiao asked.

 Xiao Jingkong lowered his eyes and said, "I'm a little tired today."

Gu Jiao curled her lips: "You're not tired."

Xiao Jingkong opened her mouth and was about to say something when Gu Jiao said again: "I'm not that delicate either."

  She is just pregnant. Except for the difference in appetite and sleep, there is no other difference.

 She was busy with her own affairs these days and neglected Xiao Qingkong. He was growing up day by day. She didn't want to look back one day and find that he was independent and she had missed his growth.

She looked at Xiaojingkong and said seriously: "I want to go on an outing with you. Will you accompany me?"

Xiao Jingkong looked into Gu Jiao's eyes and could feel that Gu Jiao really wanted to go. He immediately became very excited and nodded like a fool: "Yes, yes! I like to go out with Jiaojiao the most!"

 Gu Jiao was infected by his innocence and fantasized about what the baby would look like. If he was the same as Jingkong, she thought, she would really like it.

She stroked his little head and said, "We will go to the Duke's Mansion for dinner in the evening, and tomorrow we will go to Bishui Alley to play leaf cards with my aunt."

 Xiao Jingkong raised his hands and feet in agreement: "Listen to Jiaojiao!"

 …

 Bishui Hutong.

Gu Yan stood at the door and looked around.

Gu Xiaobao also imitated him and looked around.

 “What are you doing?” he asked Gu Xiaobao.

 “What are you doing?” Gu Xiaobao asked him.

Gu Yan was annoyed and amused by his adult tone: "I'm waiting for someone."

Gu Xiaobao: "I'm waiting for someone too."

　　Gu Yan: "I'm waiting for Xiao Shun."

　　"I'm waiting too...I'm not waiting for Xiaoshun." Gu Xiaobao waved his little hands in a belated manner, imitating Gu Yan and calling him Xiaoshun.

"You have to call Brother Xiaoshun. Also, sister is not coming today." Gu Yan hit the nail on the head.

Gu Xiaobao raised his head and looked at his brother unhappily: "Here she comes."

 Not long after, Gu Xiaoshun came back.

Gu Yan’s eyes lit up: “Are you done?”

Gu Xiaoshun said furtively: "It's done."

 “Show me!” Gu Yan stretched out his hand.

Gu Xiaobao looked at his two brothers confused, not understanding what they were doing.

Gu Xiaoshun secretly stuffed the things into Gu Yan's arms: "There are a lot of them on the street. You have to draw and make them yourself. I don't know if the work is what you want. I don't have any money left. I'm looking for the most experienced one." The old master."

Gu Yan said: "Okay, just watch Xiaobao while I go out."

 “Hey.” Gu Xiaoshun carried the little guy into the house.

Gu Yan took a carriage to the military camp.

Gu Changqing was watching the soldiers drill when suddenly a guard walked over quickly and whispered something in his ear. He raised his finger and said, "I understand."

Then he said to several generals who were observing the drill together: "Sorry, I'll excuse you."

The generals looked at him strangely and exchanged glances with each other. This was a big drill held every three months. Did something big happen? General Gu actually left the show midway?

 He was leaving in a very hurry!

Gu Changqing hurried to the outside of the military camp and saw a thin figure pacing next to a carriage.

 “Ayan.”

 He called him.

Hearing the sound, Gu Yan turned around blankly: "Why are you out?"

Gu Changqing smiled slightly: "Someone told me to come and find me."

"I didn't..." Gu Yan retorted subconsciously.

It's true that he came to see him, but he didn't mention it to anyone. He knew that the military camp was busy, so he didn't intend to disturb him. He wanted to wait until he was finished and came out before meeting him.

Gu Changqing did not tell Gu Yan that his personal bodyguard recognized him.

Gu Changqing was a cold-faced Yan Luo in the military camp, but he was always a doting brother in front of Gu Yan and Gu Jiao.

 Seeing that Gu Yan's cheeks were red from the sun, he hurriedly took him to his tent.

 “Bring some ice cubes.” He told the guard.

The guard was shocked.

 Don’t you use these things?

"yes."

The guard glanced at the delicate young master and felt relieved. He brought two large basins of ice cubes over and placed them on both sides of Gu Yan.

Gu Yan felt a slight chill.

 “Get out.” Gu Changqing ordered.

 “Yes.” The guard retreated.

Gu Changqing picked up the fan on the table and fanned Gu Yan gently.

Gu Yan raised his little neck comfortably and turned it 180 degrees.

Here's a fan.

Here too.

Gu Changqing smiled fondly and fanned him a little harder: "Don't you have to go to class today?"

 “It’s a holiday today.” Gu Yan said.

Gu Changqing asked: "Why do you want to come to the military camp to find me?"

"I..." Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, then took out a mask from his arms and handed it to Gu Changqing.

"What is this?" Gu Changqing took the mask with the hand that did not need to be fanned. While looking at it, he did not forget to continue fanning Gu Yan.

Gu Yan said: "Aren't you engaged? This is an engagement gift for you."

This is a silver half-face mask, very light and delicate, with a novel style. Gu Changqing has never seen it on the market.

 He looked at Gu Yan: "Did you specifically find someone to do it?"

“Yeah.” Gu Yan twitched her little ears and admitted a little embarrassedly.

It seemed that a lot of thought had been put into it. Gu Changqing felt soft: "Why did you think of giving a mask?"

Gu Yan curled his lips and said: "Aren't you a master of the underground martial arts field? I heard that people there wear masks. You, if you don't like it..."

"I like it very much." Gu Changqing smiled and said to him, "From now on, I will wear it when I go to the underground martial arts field."

 “Take you with me too.”

 “This way, you can recognize who I am at a glance.”

Gu Yan's eyes moved, he tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, and nodded coldly: "If you insist on taking me with you, that's fine too."

Gu Changqing smiled gently, his eyes full of endearment.

 Xuanpinghou Mansion.

　　Xiao Heng went to court today and accepted the title of Shaofu. From now on, he will be the first Shaofu under the emperor's rule.

 When he went to court, he was surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials, and everyone congratulated him.

It all happened suddenly, but when you think about it carefully, it seems logical.

At the age of thirteen, he became the young minister of the Imperial Academy. If not for something unexpected, he would have been the Shaofu of the Zhao Kingdom.

 He is less youthful and more dignified, and more down-to-earth and calm.

If the young man's wine sacrifice was partly due to his family background, then his subsequent achievement of the third yuan, the number one scholar in the streets, and the rank of junior assistant were all the results of his own efforts.

"Congratulations to Yuan Shoufu, there is a successor." Some officials also congratulated Yuan Shoufu.

Yuan Shoufu smiled and stroked his beard.

Another official said: "I think it is a double blessing for Yuan Shoufu. He not only has a proud disciple, but also has a son-in-law who can ride a dragon and a son-in-law!"

Yuan Shoufu smiled even deeper.

Yes, two major events that have been troubled for a long time have been settled. The next step is the wedding of Pauline and Gu Changqing. He has to ask Qin Tianjian to calculate the auspicious time.

 …

  Xiao Heng finally got out of the crowd of ministers and was sweating all over.

He returned to the princess's house, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw Shangguan Qing was there.

He laid a dozen masks on the table and asked Gu Jiao, who was sitting next to him: "Look, which one is the mask in your dream?"

 “Did you find someone to do these?” Gu Jiao asked.

Shangguan Qing said: "Yes, I gave your drawing to the master of the iron shop. Everyone's drawings are different. There are subtle differences. Which one do you think is the most similar?"

“Well, this.” Gu Jiao picked up the third bronze fang mask on her right.

This matter was already over, but when he heard that people from Jianlu had sneaked into the capital again, Shangguan Qing took it seriously again.

“Aren’t you going back to Yan State?” Gu Jiao asked him.

Shangguan Qingfeng said calmly: "You can come back a few days later."

 He wants to kill the **** from the Light Sword Cottage first.

He took out the mask Gu Jiao picked out, glanced at Brother Stinky, and said hurriedly: "You're just in time, you can draw this mask again to make it look more like it, so that it can be printed and distributed. Let the guards find it."

 “Okay.” Xiao Heng responded.

Gu Jiao had seen it a long time ago. She was wearing a crimson robe of a young assistant, which made him look as handsome as jade.

 The young couple stared at each other, even the air was sweet.

Shangguan Qing is about to roll his eyes again.

 Am I here to eat dog food? Enough!

 Xiao Heng went into the room and sat down, picked up a pen and paper, and began to draw a mask.

What he painted was not just a single mask, but also combined with the attire of the Jianlu disciples and the Xuanyue Sword.

 Smelly brother, it’s okay.

Shangguan Qing glanced at him in amazement and said, "This is much easier to recognize! By the way, how did you get the box back?"

The two looked at each other, and Xiao Heng said calmly: "Secret."

“Tch.” Shangguan Qing snorted, “Forget it! But if they don’t succeed once, they will definitely come a second time. Do you think they will come tonight?”

Without asking the two of them to speak, Yu Yaer suddenly walked in with a hurried expression: "Miss! Uncle! Manager Zheng is here!"

 Guanshi Zheng is a confidant of An Guogong, and his visit must be related to An Guogong.

 The two of them hurriedly asked Yu Yaer to bring in Manager Zheng.

Manager Zheng stumbled into the room. When he came to Gu Jiao, his legs went weak. Gu Jiao held his arm in time and said, "Manager Zheng, what happened, please tell me if you have anything to say."

Manager Zheng broke down and cried: "My lord... My lord went to the street today to buy a shop for the young lady... but people from nowhere... took my lord away!"

 An Guo Gong always brought dead soldiers with him when he went out, and his martial arts skills were not bad. Being able to capture An Guo Gong from their hands showed that the other party was not an ordinary master.

The three of them exchanged glances and had a guess in their hearts.

 Jianlu.

Gu Jiao asked: "What message did they leave?"

Manager Zheng cried and shook his head: "No...nothing...I caught him and left..."

Gu Jiao said seriously: "Where did the accident happen?"

Manager Zheng choked up and said: "On the east bank of Lihu Lake! I saw them heading towards the west gate -"

Xiao Heng's eyes flashed: "Xichengmen... do they want to bring Duke An Guo back to Jianlu?"

Yes, Jiaojiao is the adopted daughter of An Guogong. With An Guogong in his hands, are you still afraid that you won't be able to control Jiaojiao?

They wanted to lure Jiaojiao to Jianlu, probably because they found out that if they wanted to take away the small medicine box, they had to take Jiaojiao away.

 “I’m going out for a while, you wait for me at home...”

Before Xiao Heng finished speaking the last word, Gu Jiao had already **** her long hair without hesitation.

 …

At dusk, a seemingly inconspicuous carriage drove out of the north gate of the capital.

The driver drove the carriage vigilantly, and four attendants followed him on horseback.

 In the carriage, two men were sitting opposite each other. One of them was the kidnapped An Guogong, and the other was the swordsman who rescued Li Jiangping last night.

The swordsman wore a silver mask, which hid his original appearance, but the skin on his neck and hands showed that he was not very old, and when he opened his mouth, he confirmed An Guogong's guess.

 Maximum thirty or so.

“Mr. An Guo, we don’t mean any harm, please be patient and don’t be impatient.”

 He smiled and treated Anguo fairly.

 An Guogong was calm from beginning to end and did not make any unnecessary calls for help. After listening to the other party's words, he said calmly: "Where are you going to take me?"

The swordsman smiled coldly: "You don't need to know, just cooperate obediently, otherwise I don't mind letting you suffer a little."

An Guogong was not frightened by his threat and said calmly: "You are from Jianlu."

A trace of surprise flashed across the swordsman's eyes. He obviously didn't expect the other party to guess it so easily, but soon he laughed again: "As expected of Duke An, he is very witty."

 This is admitted.

It seems that my situation is not good.

 After all, only the dead can keep secrets, and they had no intention of leaving alive.

It doesn't matter if he dies, he is only worried that Jiaojiao will be harmed.

The swordsman sneered and said: "Why are you silent? Are you thinking about how to escape? Don't waste your efforts, you can't escape. Don't expect anyone to come to save you. They all think we are going to the west gate. Wait. By the time they reacted we were already on board."

Duke An Guo looked at him indifferently: "Who are you arresting me to threaten? Duke An Guo's house, the Xuanyuan family or the Dayan royal family?"

"None of them." The swordsman smiled, "We just want to invite your adopted daughter to the island as a guest."

 Sure enough, I’m here for Jiaojiao!

 There was a flash of murderous intent in An Guogong's eyes.

The swordsman saw all his murderous intent and said sarcastically: "Hey, you still want to kill me? What can you do as a cripple? I can crush you to death with just my fingers! But don't worry, your body is so weak. I'm afraid that I won't be able to find your adopted daughter if I kill you in a careless manner!"

An Guogong asked unhurriedly: "Jiaojiao has no enmity or enmity with you, why do you want to deal with her?"

The swordsman laughed and said: "There is still some grudge. After all, I killed so many Jianlu disciples at the border. Of course, those were all disciples of the outer sect, so this grudge is not that big. As long as she is willing to hand it over obediently. What we want, we might consider letting her go.”

 It is fake to let Jiaojiao go, but it is true to want Jiaojiao.

An Guogong said: "What do you want, I will buy it for you. Is it her armor and uniform, or her weapons?"

The swordsman said meaningfully: "It's much more precious than those things. Even if you tell me, you won't understand."

After saying that, he opened the curtain and asked the coachman, "How long does it take to get to the ferry?"

 “Three hours,” said the coachman.

 “Is there no shortcut?” asked the swordsman.

"have."

 “Then let’s go!”

“The shortcut is through a forest, and you may encounter wild beasts…”

 “Are we still afraid of ferocious beasts? Take a shortcut!”

The swordsman spoke, and the coachman had no choice but to obey.

 Fortunately, they were lucky and did not encounter any danger in the woods.

 An hour later, they were galloping on the official road of Yushui Town.

“The ferry is just ahead. Master, are you sure there is a boat?” the coachman asked.

"This is not something you should worry about." The swordsman was not as patient with the coachman as he was with Duke An.

“Yes.” The coachman closed his mouth angrily.

Of course there was a boat, and everything was ready. They entered the Yan Kingdom by water, and then returned to Jianlu from the Yan Kingdom.

 He ​​left a steward back to inform the girl. As long as the girl was not a fool, she would have guessed that she would have to go to Jianlu to find someone.

Girl, we met at Jianlu.

 The carriage stopped at the ferry, and a large awning boat approached slowly.

Li Jiangping stood on the boat and waved his hand.

The swordsman saw it from the carriage window. He nodded, lowered the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage.

Just as he was about to move the An Guo Gong company down with their wheelchairs, an eagle roar suddenly sounded from the silent dome.

The entire night seemed to be torn open by the eagle's roar, and the majestic murderous intent surged in like a tsunami.

The swordsman and Li Jiangping felt their hearts tremble at the same time, and an ominous premonition swept through their hearts.

 The heavy sound of horse hooves approached, and the two turned to look.

In the dark night, I saw Gu Jiao riding a horse with a red tassel gun on her back, carrying a murderous intention to break through the mountains and rivers, her red battle clothes were blown by the night wind, and her black armor reflected the cold light in the moonlight.

The swordsman was shocked: "This is..."

Li Jiangping had met Gu Jiao before, but the Gu Jiao in his house was completely different from the person on the horse who exuded the anger of the murderous god. He did not dare to recognize her for a while.

 “Get on board!”

 He finally reacted.

Gu Jiao rode on the Black Wind King's strong horse, coldly opened the bow and arrow in her hand, and shot him into the water with one arrow!

Xuanyuan Sheng: I went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen.

Xiao Qingkong: I went to the battlefield when I was ten years old.

Baby: I’m awesome! I started fighting in Mommy’s belly!
