Seduction

Zhang Xirao didn't know where to find Gu Qing, she just felt that she could no longer sit and wait for death like this, but before she had gone two steps away, she heard a group of adults discussing who to kill, and his father's voice followed closely.

"Then do as you want," Zhang Jiyao said.

"If this Zhan Xing is said to be from a noble family, why did he bite his own back? His father is in the Ministry of Rites?" The servant of the household department stood up and asked.

Someone below nodded, and Zhang Jiyao smiled, "After all, he is still a child who has not experienced much in the world. Since he is not sensible, he should be taught well. I remember..." Zhang Jiyao squeezed his chin, "Which prince is it, who always refuses Not coming to court?"

"Thirteen Princes."

One way.

Zhang Jiyao nodded, "Okay, I understand. Since he wants to help the clan, let the clan send him on his way."

Zhang Xirao covered her mouth and stared blankly at the room. Everyone laughed heartily, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. They seemed to understand each other, and immediately started drinking and having fun.Zhang Xirao froze, not even daring to take a step forward to cross the crack of the door.

She stepped back and accidentally bumped into the door. The hairs all over her body stood up. She was panicked like never before, and ran back without looking back. She ran to the room where she was locked up just now. Gradually become aware of your breathing.

She gasped uncontrollably.

what is father doingA few simple words can determine a person's life and death, isn't this just a disregard for human life.

Zhang Xirao leaned against the door and sat down, thinking that if her father found out about her running, the young man who had followed her since she was a child might really die.She clutched her chest, feeling terrified.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Zhang Xirao was startled.

"Miss, it's me." The young man's voice sounded.

"You, it's you." Zhang Xirao said in shock.

"What's the matter, Miss? Why are you back?" The young man just saw Zhang Xirao frightened like a rabbit, and jumped back to the room a few times, and followed him worriedly.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Zhang Xirao said, "Give me the key, and only you are responsible for cleaning my father's room. He will definitely find you if he loses something."

The young man paused, "Miss has already gone out, what are you doing here?"

"Don't ask so many questions, give it to me quickly. My father won't search me." Zhang Xirao said, she didn't want to implicate this innocent boy.

The young man lowered his head and stuffed the key in through the crack of the door.

"Also," Zhang Xirao said, "If there is anything related to Brother Qing, please help me."

The lotus is long.

Lu Wangyao was taken by the winter solstice, and rushed to see Gu Qing in a hurry.

He and Chen Jiang looked at each other, and immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

"General Chen, I have admired you for a long time." Lu Wangyao said with a playful smile.

"You...you are?" Chen Jiang raised his hand, always feeling familiar, and suddenly remembered that he had seen it in the military camp that day, and was finally rescued by the ghost face.

"Sister brother." Gu Qing said.

Chen Jiang nodded. Time was running out, so he didn't ask much about what happened at that time.Lu Wangyao sat next to Gu Qing, "Brother Qing called me, what's the matter?"

"I thought I would tell you on the way to the winter solstice that he had been listening with his ears up just now." Gu Qing said, Lu Wangyao glanced at the winter solstice at the door, and the winter solstice found that he had been caught eavesdropping, with a face of regret The expression of wanting to die.

Lu Wangyao forced a smile a few times, "I didn't say it, even if he heard it, he couldn't remember it."

Gu Qing put down the tea, smiled and shook her head, "I'm teasing you, we are all one family, there is no secret. I discussed with General Chen the tea horse trade route from the Western Regions, and transferred the grain to the Northwest Army. In the past, that road has always been yours. followed."

"It's me." Lu Wangyao said, since the severe drought in Yuezhu, Gu Qing has not taken care of Gu's business for a long time. Uncle Wang is busy with the work, and he will occasionally help out.Over the years, Lu Wangyao can still say a few words about the business inside and outside of Gu's mansion.Hearing Gu Qing's question, he immediately understood that Gu Qing wanted him to go again and transport the food there. After all, the road was not easy, so he couldn't worry about sending a newcomer.

"Is the customs clearance document with you?" Gu Qing asked.

"Yes." Lu Wangyao nodded, "Do you want to take a detour from the Western Regions, just pass by and go directly."

"No, it's too dangerous. Zhang Jiyao's eyeliner can't follow him to the Western Regions. It's even more troublesome to involve other monarchs. He won't rush in rashly. So we will go around from the Western Regions." Gu Qing said.

"Success." Lu Wangyao nodded, remembering the first time he left Tianguan to go to the Western Regions two or three years ago, dealing with a group of people from the Western Regions who could wrap a piece of clothing in a piece of cloth. The place was cold and hot for a while. For a while, the grassland and the desert made him dizzy and almost died in it.

With a sigh of relief, he delivered the goods by gesturing, and did not see Gu Qing praising him when he returned home. "You must have the ability to deal with unfamiliar environments on your own. If one day I'm not around, you must be able to support yourself. The Taifu told me that I can't take care of you like a cripple." Gu Qing said at the time.

Whether to take care of or not, I don’t know, but the disabled are really disabled.

When Lu Wangyao came back from the Western Regions that time, his whole body was haggard. Uncle Wang insisted on keeping Lu Wangyao, and refused to let Gu Qing send him any more. It took him more than half a month to raise him back.

Gu Qing has always been "willing" to his younger brother.

"Then if you go, you have to bring a few guards." Lu Wangyao is most familiar with this road. Since then, he has been in charge of this road. After walking for so long, he finds girls in the Western Regions pleasing to the eye. With thick eyebrows, big eyes and curly hair, he can still sing a few lines of songs if he is fine.

"Take it. Of course you have to take it." Chen Jiangdao, "Transporting food and grass is a big deal, and I am here at any time."

Lu Wangyao raised his eyebrows in surprise. When he was a child, he admired Chen Jiang so much. He really didn't expect that he would be protected by Chen Jiang one day. "This life is worth it." Lu Wangyao said to himself.

"What's worth it?" Gu Qing heard and asked him.Before Lu Wangyao could answer, Gu Qing put down the teacup. "You understand the situation, go back to the house and take out the customs clearance document for me."

"Ah?" Lu Wangyao was taken aback.

"Here, what are you doing?" he asked.

"Look for someone to transport food." Gu Qing replied.

"Aren't I a human?" Lu Wangyao asked suspiciously, "Aren't you going to let me go?"

"How could it be possible for you to go." Gu Qing shook her head, "Don't even take part in such a dangerous thing."

"It's just as dangerous if it's someone else. If I die, won't someone else?" Lu Wangyao grabbed Gu Qing.

"I'm protecting you." Gu Qing said earnestly.No matter how much you torment Lu Wangyao in normal times, when it comes to real swords and guns, you still don't want to give up.

"When I went to the Western Regions by myself, I didn't know anything, and I couldn't understand a word. I sent things differently. There were bandits on the road that time, and I also dealt with them. I am most familiar with the roads of the Western Regions. Food and grass are so important. , go with someone you don’t know well, what if there is a delay?” Lu Wangyao asked, “Let me go.”

"Wang Yao, the first time I let you go is to train you. Every time you go, I will send people to follow you. I let you survive on your own just in case. Do you understand?"

"What's in case?"

"Just in case now." Gu Qing showed Lu Wangyao her horrific wound, "I want to guarantee that when I can't take care of you, your life can continue."

Lu Wangyao took a deep breath, wanted to cry and was angry at the same time, "I won't give you the clearance documents."

"Wang Yao, be obedient."

"Brother Qing, let me help you." Lu Wangyao hurriedly said, "You trust me." He stared at Gu Qing's eyes, his eyes were sincere and hot, Gu Qing could only relax and sighed.

"Then you must remember, be careful and come back safely."

"Yeah." Lu Wangyao nodded, "I'll get ready now." After speaking, he got up and jumped out the door.

"Then I'll immediately arrange troops to escort my virtuous brother." Chen Jiang stood up and said, "Farewell."

"Farewell."

Gu Qing sent Chen Jiang away, and sat back. He was the only one left in the empty room. He rubbed his temples, "Piao Yao, you've been standing for so long, come in."

Precariously stunned, it turned out that Gu Qing had already noticed his existence, so she lowered her head and brought the medicine in.

"Sit." Gu Qing said, "Why didn't you come in just now?" He asked.

Piaoyao blinked and said after a while, "Boss Gu, do you really want Wangyao to go to the Western Regions?"

"How is it possible." Gu Qing sighed, "Everyone has selfishness, I can't possibly want to take this risk with my brother."

"Since Boss Gu thinks the same way, I want to ask for one thing." Piao Yao said.

"how?"

"When Wangyao returns safely, please don't let him have anything to do with the war. If you can't guarantee to protect him, then,"

"No." Before Yao Yao finished speaking, Gu Qing interrupted him abruptly.

Fluttering raised his head, and the two of them looked at each other unsurprisingly.

"As long as I'm not dead, I don't feel relieved to hand over my brother to anyone." Gu Qing's eyes were sharp, she paused and said slowly:

"You haven't passed yet."

A few days passed by in a hurry.

The emperor briefly went to court for a few days, and then began to have endless extravagant fun.Zhan Xingruo and Wuzheng read and wrote the scroll documents all day long, forgetting to eat and sleep.Although the reform has already started, it still needs a long process if we really want to carry it out and realize that the law must be implemented and the action must be achieved.

The reform is aimed at the gentry, disrupting the gentry, so that Zhang Jiyao has no time to take care of the Northwest, but how to implement the reform can make the reform more vigorous, and this problem has not yet been solved.

Zhan Xingruo and Wuzheng have been busy for a few days, and both of them have lost a lot of weight.

It was completely dark, and Zhan Xingruo, who was sitting in the gazebo reading a book, had to go back to the Prince's Mansion.

"I was going to find you." Wu Zheng said with a smile, Zhan Xingruo hadn't seen Wu Zheng's smile for a few days.

"What's a good thing?" He also laughed unconsciously.

"Look at this." Wu Zheng handed over a letter, Zhan Xingruo opened it curiously, it was a letter from Northwest.

"The food and grass for the Gu family have arrived." The letter said.

"Has the food and grass arrived?" He was startled, looked up at Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng nodded.

"It's here. It's Chen Jiang's personal letter. He has rushed back. The situation in the northwest is stable and solid."

Zhan Xingruo took a deep breath, feeling relieved that the problem he had been worrying about had finally come to an end.

"Great, so we can procrastinate a little longer."

"Thanks to Gu Qing." Although Wu Zheng was reluctant, he had to admit that Gu Qing helped a lot this time.Thinking about it carefully, Yuezhu really ate a lot of rice from Gu Qing in the past six months, "How much rice does Gu Qing have? Could it be that the rice turned into a monster." Wu Zheng joked.

Zhan Xingruo was holding the letter happily, when he suddenly heard Gu Qing's name, his heart twitched for some reason, and his eyes became hot without warning.

He froze for a moment, calmed himself down, and tried hard to hold back his tears.

"How is he... now..." Zhan Xingruo didn't know who he was asking, and Wu Zheng certainly didn't know about Gu Qing's situation, but who could he ask? Even if they gallop away on Asura, it will take three days.

Splendid mountains and rivers flow away continuously, the night moon is a curtain of dreams, and the spring breeze is full of tenderness, but it can't catch the eyes.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him in a daze, Wu Zheng asked with his head down.

"It's okay." Zhan Xingruo waved his hand.Turning around and going back to the room, I turned on the light and continued to read, but my eyes always looked at the letter disobediently, lingering on the word "Gu".

Silently lit night.

Acacia chime.
