Rebirth of marriage

Wen Qi looked at Xie Jiu like a wolf staring at its prey. Gu Xiao didn't like the way the man next to him looked at Xie Jiu.

He warned sternly, "She is the only woman I will marry. Put away that look in your eyes."

Wen Qi was one of the few friends he had, and he made it clear that if he really didn't have any thoughts about Xie Jiu that he shouldn't have, the two of them wouldn't even be friends in the future.

"What's her name? Where is she from?" Wen Qi still looked at Xie Jiu without blinking and asked.

Seeing this, Gu Xiao suddenly attacked him.

Only then did Wen Qi react and hurriedly stopped her, "Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, your friend's wife should not be bullied. I have understood it since I was a few years old, and I have no interest in her.

I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my whole life, so I couldn’t help but take a second look. Now that I know she is my sister-in-law, I won’t have any other ideas. "

Gu Xiao recognized Wen Laoqi's character, so he let go and replied, "Thanks for the wine."

"Xie Jiu? By fate, the naming style is similar to that of my family." Wen Qi was surprised.

Gu Xiao looked at the woman below, his eyes gentle, "Wine of fine wine."

Wen Qi snorted, seeming a little disappointed.

Then he said, "I always thought that you would die alone, but now I see that you have someone in your heart. I am very relieved. The woman who can make you happy is definitely not an ordinary woman. Can you tell me who my sister-in-law is?"

Gu Xiao glanced at him sideways, "Why are you asking about this?"

Wen Qi spread her hands and said, "There are so many bachelor brothers in our family, and my sister-in-law is so good-looking. If she had sisters and relatives, she would be pretty good-looking. I have to bring good things to my house. This has always been my purpose. Maybe we can deal with one or two bachelors..."

"There are no sisters." Gu Xiao's deep eyes darkened, "Old Qi, you talk a lot especially when you feel guilty or want to hide something."

When Gu Xiao saw through it, Wen Qi choked and laughed, "What do I feel guilty for? It's because you are stingy. I'll just ask my sister-in-law."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man jumped up to Xie Jiu.

He raised the folding fan in his hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Hi, Xie Jiu, I'm his friend, Wen Qi."

Wen Qi seemed shapeless, but he was attentive. During the fight, Gu Xiao did not protect Xie Jiu himself, but asked the palace guards to protect him, so he guessed that the relationship between the two has not been made public yet.

Moreover, she noticed that Xie Jiu had her hair combed into a woman's bun, and she didn't know what the situation was between the two of them. But Gu Xiaoyan had definitely said that he wanted to marry her, so he couldn't call her "Madam" just because she had combed her hair. The sister-in-law was afraid that others might not hear her well, so she called her by name as if she were a friend.

This made Xie Jiu feel somewhat fond of Wen Qi. At the same time, the person he spoke of made Xie Jiu understand that Wen Qi knew about her relationship with Gu Xiao.

Xie Jiu knew Gu Xiao's temperament. If he wasn't an acquaintance, he wouldn't have stayed with him in the attic for so long, wouldn't have revealed their relationship, and wouldn't have let him come down to see him.

She smiled and nodded, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Wen."

Wen Qi waved her hand, "Just call me Brother Qi. The girl looks familiar to me. Have we met before?"

I don't know if this was the greeting from this familiar person, or if he really felt that he looked familiar. Xie Jiu smiled and said, "I must have never seen him before."

It was the first time in her past life and this life, and it was also the first time she knew that Gu Xiao had friends.

Wen Qi smiled and said, "It's okay, we have met now, and we will become familiar with each other in the future. I am from the Liaodong Prince's Palace, which palace does the girl belong to?"

Liaodong Palace?

Xie Jiu was slightly surprised.

Yes, Gu Xiao had been in the Liaodong Army for several years, and he had a good relationship with the King of Liaodong. This person should be one of the many nephews of the King of Liaodong.

Thinking that King Liaodong supported the third prince in his previous life, the smile on Xie Jiu's face faded, "It's just an ordinary person."

Wen Qi noticed her sense of alienation, and her thoughts turned over and over again. When did he want to say something else?

Gu Xiao came over and whispered to Xie Jiu, "It's hard to clean the post station at the moment. You guys go back to the carriage and rest first."

As soon as he jumped down from the attic, the three quarreling families dragged him to seek justice, so he was delayed.

Hearing this, Xie Jiu nodded slightly to Wen Qi and pulled Lin Shu into the carriage. Lu Kang Wuwei and others followed.

The three families were still waiting for Gu Xiao's verdict, so Gu Xiao asked Wen Qi to follow them.

Hearing that Wen Qi was the crown prince of Liaodong, the families were very respectful. Wen Qi happened to have something he wanted to inquire about, and he was happy to help Gu Xiao deal with the matter.

He was always good at eloquence, and it didn't take long for the three families to disperse.

Even if we quarrel until dawn tonight, nothing will happen. It's better to seize the time and have a good rest. We have to be on the road early tomorrow morning.

Today's grudges will be settled slowly when we return to Beijing.

However, so many people had just died in the inn that it was difficult to stay there. Everyone lit a fire, while the weak women and old people rested in the carriage.

When an assassination occurred here, Gu Xiao's people went to the government office to report the case. The county magistrate heard that King Xiao was assassinated in his territory and hurriedly came with his people.

Gu Xiao then ordered people to bring out the survivors and interrogate them personally in front of the county magistrate.

These living people are all hired killers, and it is not easy to get them to speak. He borrowed Xie Jiu's method of skinning and bone removal at Lujiazhuang.

Unable to hold it any longer, the two men let go.

Gu Xiao only asked them who sent them, and sent them back to the west without them having to say anything more.

The interrogation was under the eyes of everyone, and some timid ones were so frightened that they covered their heads and ears, not daring to watch or listen.

But most people still heard the assassin's confession clearly. They were sent by the Cao family!

No one would have thought that so many people came here tonight to thank him for his death.

Subconsciously, everyone felt that they were here to assassinate King Xiao, and they were implicated.

But the eldest son Ning asked, "Prince Xiao left during the day and was not at the inn at all. Wouldn't the assassin know?

Those assassins showed no mercy to us either. "

In fact, the assassin didn't think about attacking them at first, just because Xie Jiu was so well protected that it was difficult for them to get a chance.

In addition, Mo Limoqi showed up with his men in time and launched a fierce attack as soon as he arrived. The assassin was too busy to deal with it and did not care whether it would hurt others, which resulted in the situation that Mr. Ning said.

This sentence caused all three families to think deeply. If they weren't trying to kill King Xiao, could it be that they were trying to kill them?

They heard that it was Cao Shoufu and the third prince who asked for pardon, but why did they kill them?

No one wanted to talk to Wen Qi anymore.

Fortunately, he knew a lot about what he wanted to know. When no one was paying attention, he called out the secret guard who was following him and handed him a note, "Send it to our ancestors now. With Triton, the faster, the better.”

The dark guard took the order and left.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, everyone ate something casually, put out the fire and set off.

The corpses were also brought along.

The county magistrate did not dare to object. On one side was the prince and on the other was the chief minister of the dynasty. This was not something that a small county magistrate like him could handle.

He was called here simply to be a witness and to be responsible for repairing the inn.

Those families didn't have any rest last night, and they were worried all the way.

No one wanted to think about why Prince Liaodong and Prince Xiao were riding beside the carriage where they were thanking the wine.

Wen Qi wanted to get close to Xie Jiutao, but was repeatedly disturbed by Gu Xiao.He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao, I have been spreading rumors all the way from Yuyouguan that you are going to marry Princess Nihuang. What is the specific date? I can also get a wedding drink."

He was waiting to look after Gu Xiao and Xie Jiu to get angry, but one of them looked at him like a fool and the other showed no reaction.

"What's going on?" Wen Qi looked at this and that with suspicion on her face.
