Seduction

It's the best season of the year in Yuezhu again, the spring is warm and flowers are blooming, the daytime is not as hot as Tianguan, and the night is breezy.

Sitting in front of the case, Gu Qing looked at the letter sent by Yuezhu, thinking that she hadn't seen Zhan Xingruo for some time, maybe it would be good to go once.See what Zhang Jiyao meant, and bring something to Zhan Xingruo by the way. It's cool over there, so it's like going to escape the heat.

"Call me the winter solstice." Gu Qing greeted the maid.

The winter solstice can be regarded as the time when Quangu Mansion walks the most.Lu Wangyao found out that the child was honest and capable, as if he had picked up a treasure, coaxing the winter solstice to work every day.Lu Wangyao was away for the past two days, and he was free at the winter solstice, and he was still a little uncomfortable. Hearing that Mr. Gu was looking for him, he went happily.

"Master looking for me?" Dong Zhi gently knocked on the door.

"Come in." Gu Qing nodded, "I'm going out for a while, and it may take a while."

"Are you leaving too? The second master hasn't come back yet, and the Gu mansion is empty." Dong Zhi said.

Gu Qing thought about it, Lu Wangyao went to Yuezhu together with Piaoyao, and just received a letter from Lu Wangyao yesterday, saying that Piaoyao missed her master, so she accompanied Piaoyao back to the Gun King.

"It's going to be free for a few days." Gu Qing smiled, "I don't think Uncle Wang is very energetic recently. He is getting old, so he can't always be alone. Put down all your work and go to Uncle Wang's place." help."

"Okay." Winter Solstice replied.

"Let's prepare the horse." Gu Qing said.

The winter solstice was still as swift as ever, so I turned around and ran out to get ready.

Gu Qing walked the way to the imperial palace countless times, and finally arrived at the imperial city after running around for a few days, but this time she couldn't go to the Prince's Mansion first.

The eunuch who came to guide the way bent over, "Master Gu, please go to the west."

Gu Qing got out of the car, nodded slightly, her gaze was still lingering on the Prince's Mansion in the distance.

It was already night during the banquet, as soon as Gu Qing entered the hall, he saw dancers and musicians standing in rows, and a person with gray temples was sitting on the main table.

Gu Qing sat down, and the maid poured wine for him. In a daze, Gu Qing realized that this Zhang Jiyao Zhang Taiwei was the same "Boss Zhang" who asked him to talk about Western ammunition that day. open".

Gu Qing paused, and just toasted politely, Zhang Jiyao exchanged pleasantries as if seeing him for the first time.Gu Qing hadn't figured out what was going on, so she followed Zhang Jiyao's greetings.

After going through the etiquette, it was discovered that there seemed to be one figure that was very familiar among the doctors, and although that one was sitting the farthest, his eyes never left. They looked at each other, and Gu Qing just remembered that the owner of the farthest gaze was none other than Chen Jiang.

Next to Zhang Jiyao sat Kong Fuyi, who was still injured.

The banquet has already started, Gu Qing promised again and again, while secretly looking around, there was no prince and Zhan Xingruo, he exhaled lightly, an ominous premonition hovered in his heart, and suddenly realized that this banquet was by no means as simple as he imagined.

After many days of loosening, I took it lightly for a while.

Chen Jiang was far away, constantly adjusting his body, trying to take a good look at Gu Qing, but Zhang Jiyao didn't seem to want to give him this chance at all, and put him in the place closest to the door.

Chen Jiang didn't want to come, but when he heard that Zhang Jiyao was going to host Gu Chengyuan who helped Yuezhu last time, he became interested. Wu Zheng had told him some time ago that Zhan Xingruo suspected that Gu Chengyuan was the ghost face.Chen Jiang still believed in Zhan Xingruo in his heart. After all, he was the one who took care of Gu Chengfeng back then. He silently believed that what Zhan Xingruo said was correct, so he wanted to see Gu Chengyuan's true face on Lushan Mountain today.

The moment the two looked at each other, Chen Jiang frowned unconsciously, that face was just like that of Chengfenghou when he was young.His heart trembled, and his eyes could no longer leave Gu Qing.

Just looking at it, I found that Gu Qing's face seemed to have changed a little. Zhang Jiyao was still talking, and after talking, he raised his glass to toast. Gu Qing had to drink out of courtesy.

Chen Jiang watched Gu Qing go down one cup after another. It seemed that Boss Gu seemed to be keeping a thousand cups, but the color of his lips changed slightly.

After serving in the army for many years, Chen Jiang also developed a pair of eagle-like eyes, and immediately understood that Zhang Jiyao must have put some medicine in the wine to make Gu Chengyuan drink like this.

He wanted to go up and stop Gu Chengyuan, but he was afraid that it would be more dangerous to startle the snake.

Chen Jiang didn't know what Gu Chengyuan did, why Zhang Jiyao invited him, and whether the ghost face was him, let alone whether he was an enemy or a friend, but just looking at Gu Qing's face, he couldn't bear to be hurt .

More than ten years ago, Cheng Fenghou said to him, "If you see my son, let me see how he is doing." That voice has been echoing in Chen Jiang's heart for so many years.

Chen Jiang looked around, and sneaked away while no one was looking.

The moment he went out and got on his horse, Chen Jiang realized the benefits of sitting at the back. When he came out, he didn't know who to turn to.It is hard to find someone who can clearly compete with Zhang Jiyao in the government and the opposition.

After running for a while, Chen Jiang suddenly thought that Zhan Xingruo might have a solution, so he immediately reined in his horse and ran towards the Prince's Mansion.

Wu Zheng had been living leisurely for the past few days, and was about to take off his clothes and go to bed, when he was called by a notification, and seeing that it was Chen Jiang, he asked the guards to invite him in.

Wu Zheng didn't recognize Chen Jiang's casual clothes for a while.

"I don't know why the general came so late, why?" Wu Zheng asked.

"His Royal Highness, do you know the banquet Zhang Jiyao is hosting today?" Chen Jiang said.

"Banquet?" Wu Zheng shook his head, "No one told me."

Chen Jiang took a deep breath, "Where is Military Master Zhan?"

"He definitely doesn't know. If he knows, he will tell me."

"That's even worse. Military division Zhan did it all by himself, but he didn't know about the celebration banquet."

"A celebration banquet?"

"Yes." Chen Jiang nodded, "Zhang Jiyao asked the emperor to thank Tianguan for the rice, and to entertain Gu Chengyuan to show his sincerity."

"What?" Wu Zheng asked in surprise, "Gu Chengyuan is here?"

"People are in the west hall." Chen Jiang said.

"When did Zhang Jiyao tell his father, why didn't I know?"

"The prince was busy in the past few days and didn't go to court."

Wu Zheng frowned and exhaled.

"Do you want to tell Junjun Zhan immediately?" Chen Jiang asked.

"Wait a minute." Wuzheng shook his head, "I don't know how Ah Li is doing now."

"If you don't tell me about such an important matter now, how long are you going to wait?" Just as Wu Zheng finished speaking, Zhan Xingruo pushed the door and entered with a file in his hand. He came to discuss matters with Wu Zheng, and happened to meet the two of them. , then stood at the door and listened.

"A Li. I still don't know what's going on." Wu Zheng said.

Zhan Xingruo sat down, "Drunkards don't mean to drink, do you think Zhang Jiyao really invited Gu Qing here to thank him?"

Wuzheng shook his head.

"Since Zhang Jiyao took the initiative to ask for orders to entertain Gu Qing, I'm afraid he's guessed right. What he wants is Gu Qing's life." Zhan Xingruo said.

"What, what does this mean?" Chen Jiang asked, "How can he be sure that Gu Chengyuan is a ghost face?"

"No." Zhan Xingruo shook his head, "He wants to kill Gu Qing, so he doesn't need to know if Gu Qing is a ghost face, just knowing that he is Cheng Fenghou's son is enough."

Chen Jiang felt a chill from head to toe.

After a while, he asked, "Does the military division have any countermeasures?"

"I don't know the situation of the banquet yet, so I'm afraid it will backfire if I act rashly."

When Zhan Xingruo said this, Chen Jiang remembered that Gu Qing's lips had changed color slightly when he ran out just now.

"I'm afraid I can't wait any longer." Chen Jiang said, "When I came out just now, Gu Chengyuan's face was already bad. I'm afraid Zhang Jiyao put medicine in the wine."

"Then there is no need to doubt it. It must be decided that Gu Qing will be killed tonight." Zhan Xingruo stood up.

"Chen Jiang, are you on the banquet list?" Zhan Xingruo asked.

"Exactly." Chen Jiang replied.

"Then you go back quickly, it's not easy to go out for a long time. Wuzheng and I will rush over later." Zhan Xingruo turned his head and said to Wuzheng, "You go to the banquet later and say you want to see Gu Chengyuan. You are the prince. Zhang Jiyao doesn't dare to refuse your request, let alone a banquet. Go and disrupt his arrangements, try to make Gu Qing talk more and drink less, if the wine is drugged, it will keep him awake."

"Okay." Wu Zheng replied.

"Chen Jiang, since Zhang Jiyao wants to kill Gu Qing, he will definitely not let the tiger go back to the mountain. Remember to tell Gu Qing to run straight away while Zhang Jiyao is not paying attention. Don't stay in the mansion. Tell him to run into the forest behind the west gate. I Accept."

"Understood." Chen Jiang responded.

"I'm going to check the surroundings. I'm going out now." Zhan Xingruo said, and three horses galloped out from the Prince's Mansion.

The summer night has lost the cool breeze of the past. Zhan Xingruo was exploring the road outside. The closest one was to climb over the palace gate and escape from the woods behind. Zhan Xingruo walked into the woods, and his feet were separated by a stone. Think of one thing.

The forest was behind the palace wall, and it was pitch black without lights or fire, but Gu Qing told him that his childhood left a shadow, and when it got dark, his body would lose control.

"It's broken." Zhan Xingruo frowned.He was more nervous than ever. He was afraid that things would not go according to plan, that Gu Qing would not be able to turn the danger into a bargain, that Gu Qing would be in danger, that he would not be able to protect Gu Qing, and that he would not be able to fulfill the promise he had made to Cheng Fenghou.

He suddenly understood that Hou Chengfeng didn't let anyone tell Gu Qing the truth at the beginning, probably because of such worries.The hatred carried by Gu Qing suddenly increased the weight, and his life would be surrounded by all sides. Zhan Xingruo didn't know whether his strength was enough for him to break out of the encirclement or for him to protect himself.

He didn't know where to go for a while, there was still a gap between the Ximen palace wall and the forest, what should he do during this period of love?Besides, with Zhang Jiyao's cleverness, he would definitely guard against this move. The forest was so big, if Zhan Xing didn't know whether he should find Gu Qing first, or whether the soldiers chasing him should find Gu Qing first.

"Gu Qing." Zhan Xingruo unconsciously said Gu Qing's name in his mouth, his heart was beating hard, and a slight layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. He was not so flustered before when the army was under pressure and soldiers approached the city.

Zhan Xingruo had to close his eyes and adjust his breathing.

The voice in my heart kept ringing over and over again.

"I want to see you soon."
