Seduction

"I..." Lu Wangyao hesitated for a moment, seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, she raised her head to look at him, then let go of her hand in disappointment.

The original answer in Lu Wangyao's mind was, of course, that he would not come back. He had already got the gun, so who would want to come to this remote place with a horse all day, let alone seeing Piao Yao, he didn't know what to say.But the moment he let go of his hand, Lu Wangyao seemed to be touched by something in his heart, and suddenly responded, "Come back!" He said, "But... I have very important things to do first... So in ..."

"I'll wait for you." Piao Yao said, smiling slightly, her eyes sparkling.

This time it was Lu Wangyao who was embarrassed, he turned his head away, his ears were slightly warm, and he always felt like a heartless man, looking at him with an innocent face.

"I'm leaving." Lu Wangyao said.

Piao Yao didn't respond to him, and just watched him go back to the house reluctantly.

"Has he gone back?" Lu Wangyao asked after walking for a while.

Gu Qing looked back, coughed twice, Lu Wangyao felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, "He's coming?" Lu Wangyao asked.

"Come on, I'm just not feeling well." Gu Qing shook her head helplessly.

Lu Wangyao sighed, "Tsk, Brother Qing, what do I do, I feel guilty."

"Of course you feel guilty. People have been watching you for so long, but you don't even look back." Gu Qing said lightly.

Lu Wangyao was flustered and scratched his head, "I'm sorry," he said, "Why is Piaoyao acting like a little daughter-in-law."

The two talked to each other, and gradually walked out of the village. Only then did Lu Wangyao dare to look back. He knew that there was nothing behind him, but he always felt a little empty.

Almost at the same time, Wu Zheng and Zhan Xingruo hurried to the former residence of the Tai Tuo.

Taifu's son is a lieutenant under Chengfenghou. Before Chengfenghou rebelled, Taifu had already retired and returned to his hometown. Not far from the capital is Taifu's hometown, where there are not many Yuezhu The emperor gave a lot of rewards when the Taifu left the court, but he didn't want anything, he only asked for some fields, and then used his savings to build a private school in the countryside.

The spies sent by Wuzheng were nimble, and quickly asked about Lu Wangyao's life experience. Although the Taifu's surname was not Lu, he did have a grandson named Lu, and Lu Wangyao followed his mother's surname.

"I remember Li Chu, I came here with you." Wuzheng looked at the endless Bai, and sighed, "The Taifu was still there at that time, but it's a pity that there are rules. It would be great if I could come and see him .”

Zhan Xingruo didn't respond.

Wu Zheng shook his head slightly, "I don't know how Taifu's life will be after he retires."

"The Tai Tuo knows how to be wise and protect his own life. The prince doesn't have to worry." Zhan Xingruo stood behind him. For so many years, Wu Zheng was used to being called by Zhan Xingruo's first name, but he suddenly changed his name to the prince, and Wu Zheng smiled.

"I know. It was my incompetence that made the Taifu have to leave the capital. We found out that Zhang Taiwei was related to the silver loss case in the frontier, but we couldn't find any evidence."

"Prince, why should you underestimate yourself? If you hadn't started the investigation back then, Taifu might have been more implicated." Zhan Xingruo said.

"Besides the Taifu, I still feel that I owe someone else. I was hesitant at the beginning, so I didn't keep him."

Zhan Xingruo raised his head slightly in response to Wu Zheng's words.

Wu Zheng took Zhan Xingruo's gaze and nodded, "It's the Marquis of Chengfeng. If Gu Chengyuan is really the child of Marquis Chengfeng, then this is where he lived when he was a child." Wuzheng squatted down and grabbed the ground. Xue, "I've never seen him. What did he look like when he was a child?"

Zhan Xingruo raised his head slightly. He had indeed met Gu Qing once, but at that time Gu Qing was still a child, and he himself was a boy of sixteen or seventeen. The light in the cell was dim, so he couldn't see clearly. With her hair down, in order to cover up the movement of pulling away Gu Qing Yupei.Everything was done in a hurry, and he was also very nervous at that time, and he couldn't remember Gu Qing's face at all.

Zhan Xingruo shook his head, only Gu Qing's current appearance was in his mind, full of affection, or harboring malicious intentions.

If it was the first time Gu Qing saw him, would Gu Qing remember what he looked like that day?

"Back then, the Hou's Mansion was set on fire. I guess it must be Zhang Taiwei." Wu Zheng said, "Otherwise, there would be no reason to set fire to the Hou's Mansion, leaving nothing behind. After seeing Cheng Fenghou, Zhang Jiyao was so thorough that he didn't even think about it."

"There's no need to think about it." Zhan Xingruo said suddenly, "In the reply letter that Marquis Chengfeng sent me back then, he specifically asked me not to tell his son the truth if he died."

Wuzheng frowned, and turned to Zhan Xingruo, "You mean, Gu Chengyuan always thought that Marquis Chengfeng was a traitor?"

Zhan Xingruo nodded solemnly, "I conveyed Chengfenghou's letter to the Taifu intact. If the Taifu did what I said, then Gu Chengyuan should hate his father now." Zhan Xingruo said As he thought about it, he kept thinking about it. He didn't remember nothing about the little Gu Qing in the cell that night. When he pinched Gu Qing's face and pretended to look at it, he really remembered something.

It was Gu Qing's eyes.

The inside was filled with tears, but he held back and refused to cry out. Zhan Xingruo still saw himself in those shining pupils. Ten years passed by, and it was rare to see the young boy from back then.

"I thought I'd never see him again." Zhan Xingruo said, it was the first time he saved someone, the first time he was on a mission, and the first time he took personal risk. After Gu Qing left the capital, Zhan Xingruo always I am thinking about it, but I can't get away, I just write a few letters to the Taifu occasionally, asking about Gu Qing's situation, or ask someone to send some food to the Taifu from the capital, saying that it is for Gu Qing's health. .Later, when the wars became more frequent, Zhan Xingruo's letters became less and less, until one day at the end, the Taifu suddenly left.

"I didn't even have time to ask his name at that time. Later, when I wrote letters to the Taifu, in order to prevent accidents, I always used the word 'he' instead, and I never mentioned his name."

"The Taifu is to protect him." Wu Zheng said, "Gu Chengyuan does not disclose his name to outsiders now, it is also for self-protection. No one in Mantianguan knows his name is Gu Qing except Gu's personal servants."

Zhan Xingruo's heart suddenly twitched.

He remembered that every time he saw Gu Qing, Gu Qing would lean on his ear, and softly and pleadingly said, "Gu has a single name for love."

Maybe the word "Gu Qing" hasn't been called by anyone for a long time.

"Wu Zheng, why do you think Hou Chengfeng is unwilling to tell him the truth?"

"In order to protect him? Even Marquis Chengfeng can't do anything, let alone him?" Wu Zheng said, "He can bear the hatred for Marquis Chengfeng, but what should he do with the hatred for Zhang Jiyao? There is nothing he can do with one hand." child, hatred will consume him."

Zhan Xingruo didn't make a sound, just sighed lightly, and lightly grabbed the half piece of jade pendant that was torn from Gu Qing back then.Out of some of the most primitive feelings, Zhan Xingruo always wears this jade pendant.

The cold wind picked up, and the snow in the Central Plains was the same as in the north, cold and decisive. Gu Qing tied up her hair, and really only wore the unlined clothes that she wore when she was talking to Lu Wangyao that day. She was wearing a black shawl. Together with the snow, it emits a glimmer of light.

Gu Qing sat on the attic of Gu's mansion, watching the wind and snow outside, while sipping warm wine.The sound of footsteps came again and again, but Gu Qing didn't look back, just drinking and listening to the wind as usual.

"Master Gu is very interested." The footsteps stopped, and a man's frivolous voice came from behind him.

"I've sent someone to prepare King Lu's private seat, why should King Lu stand and talk?" Gu Qing gently put down the wine glass without looking back.

With a smile on his lips, the man walked up to Gu Qing, put his hands on the table, and leaned over to look at Gu Qing.

Only then did Gu Qing look up at him, and said casually, "King Lu came to the humble house, and the grass people are welcome."

"Hmph," Lu Xian chuckled softly before sitting down on the seat.

"I heard that Boss Gu has always been as stable as Mount Tai, without any surprises. It seems that this statement is true."

"King Lu has won the award," Gu Qing lowered her head slightly, "The grassroots dare not."

Lu Xian's body was leaned back, the majestic lord of a country wanted to meet a businessman secretly, Lu Xian thought to himself, such an arrogant person really wanted to kill him quickly.But after all, there is something to beg for, so I can only let myself not show it.

That day when Gu Qing asked Lu Wangyao to go find him, Lu Xian thought a lot about it, and it was really inappropriate to invite Gu Qing to meet him. Since ancient times, there has been a conflict between government and business, and it would be really impolite to let Gu Qing go to the hall.On the other hand, Gu Qing is a symbol of wealth, and wealth is the only key to lock power, and it is inconvenient to announce some words about the power struggle.

"I don't know what is the meaning of Boss Gu looking for me?" Lu Xian finally calmed down and sat down.

"To help you." Gu Qing raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were completely calm and she couldn't see any emotion.

Lu Xian paused, and said with a smile, "Okay, I don't know how Boss Gu wants to help?"

"I have someone to lend you." Gu Qing poured the wine and said calmly.

"Lend it to me?" Lu Xian couldn't help being curious.

"This person doesn't care about political affairs, he only cares about killing, he doesn't lose battles, he only makes military exploits."

"Ha," Lu Xian chuckled, but unconsciously leaned forward, "Is there really such a person? Boss Gu, maybe let me meet?"

"King Lu, don't be in a hurry, the grass people haven't finished talking yet," Gu Qing swallowed the wine unhurriedly, "King Lu is too impatient, I'm afraid he won't have the heart to taste my wine from the Western Regions." Gu Qing pretended to regret .

Lu Xian was ridiculed by Gu Qing's words inside and out, and the anger in his heart was even more burning, and he tried his best to restrain his emotions.

"Oh? Boss Gu, please tell me."

"This person doesn't know the ways of the world, and doesn't recognize military orders and tiger charms," ​​Gu Qing said slowly:

"I only accept the dispatch of a certain person."
