Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

Pang Ji looked at the Eight Sage Kings and shook his head slightly, "No."

Eight Wise King raised his eyebrows slightly, since he wasn't worried about Pang Feiyan entering the palace, then why?There is nothing wrong with the court recently, well, although there are some troubles in the Liao Kingdom, these troubles should not make Pang Ji so upset, right?

However, if Pang Ji didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask.

Even if they knew each other well, even if he knew that Pang Ji was very different to him, and he would never ask if he shouldn't or couldn't ask.

Naturally, if he didn't ask, it didn't mean that Pang Ji couldn't speak.

He should know, or even if he doesn't want to know, but what Pang Ji wants him to know, he will definitely know in the end.

Look!

—— "Concubine Li's matter should be settled."

The Eighth Sage King was startled for a moment, then closed his eyes, Concubine Li...really...he knew that Pang Ji would not just let him go!

The Eight Sage King slowly opened his eyes and looked at Pang Ji steadfastly. Pang Ji's face was calm, but those deep and unpredictable eyes locked him tightly.

"This...you don't need to tell me!" Ba Xianwang's voice was a little hoarse, thinking back then...the break between him and Pang Ji started with the matter of Concubine Li!The hands in the sleeves of the Baxian King suddenly clenched into fists, and a cold smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, "It has already been decided, is the grand master here to inform this king?"

Pang Ji's gaze was still fixed on the Eight Sage Kings, "That's not what I meant."

is not what it means? !what does that mean? !

He already planned to annihilate the sea of ​​dust for what happened back then, he already planned to bear the guilt towards Concubine Li and the self-blame for that child, and he planned to completely give up all the things about that year!

At this time, by chance, you, Pang Ji, brought up the old matter again!

What else should be solved? ?

What's the meaning!

Eight Wise Kings tightly clenched their hands in their sleeves, and tried hard to calm their breathing, so as not to walk away angrily!

Staring at the eight sage kings, seeing the stiff and suppressed angry face of the eight sage kings, Pang Ji lowered his eyes and said slowly, "I don't regret what happened back then."

When the Eighth Wise King heard this, he sneered, yes, no regrets!Because you gained monstrous power through the murder of the prince back then!Get everything you have now!

Eight Wise King stood up abruptly, and said calmly, "It's getting late, this king will take his leave first!"

Pang Ji watched the Eighth Sage King get up, stood up slowly, followed behind the Eighth Sage King silently, and when he reached the gate of the small courtyard, Pang Ji said in a low voice, "You know, some things are just too much for me. It's just a means."

The Eighth Wise King paused slightly, but did not turn his head.

And Pang Ji watched the Eight Sage King go away, watched the figure of the Eight Sage King disappear from sight, and then slowly lowered his eyes.

He doesn't regret what happened back then.If there is no monstrous power, how can he get close to this person?It's just that this is a thorn between them.And now, it's time.

At night in Kyoto, lights are scattered in the dark alleys and streets.

A simple sedan chair slowly walked towards the mansion of the Eighth Sage King. In the sedan chair, the Eighth Sage King rolled up his sleeves and closed his eyes slightly. At this moment, the anger gradually dissipated, and what the guy said came to mind again.

He said he has no regrets.

He said some things were just means to him.

What do you mean?

*****

Qinghe County at this time.

Qinghe County is about a hundred miles away from Duanzhou.

Gongsun Ce looked up at the plaque hanging on the city gate in front of him - Qinghe County.

This is Qinghe County?

"What's the matter?" A deep and soft voice sounded behind him.

Gongsun Ce turned his head and looked at the simple man in Tsing Yi behind him——Bao Zheng, shook his head, and smiled slightly, "No, I just think it's quite lively here."

Bao Zheng glanced at the people coming and going in and out of the city gate, and smiled lightly, "It's quite lively."

"Let's go," Gongsun Ce said.

Bao Zheng casually took the package that Gongsun Ce was carrying. Gongsun Ce was stunned, looked down at his empty hand, and looked at Bao Zheng speechlessly. Did this person just take his package away?He just got it for a while.

Gongsun Ce was a little dumbfounded.

He didn't understand why Bao Zheng always had to be so cautious when he knew that his body was fine.As if he was a child who hadn't grown up yet, even a package was always snatched away from him...he wasn't so fragile, okay?

——But being taken care of by Bao Zheng like this made him feel an indescribable satisfaction and joy in his heart...

"Let's go." Seeing Gongsun Ce looking at him dumbfounded, Bao Zheng felt a little embarrassed, but coughed lightly on his face, pulled Gongsun Ce and walked towards the city gate.

After entering the city gate, Bao Zheng glanced at Gongsun Ce. Gongsun Ce was looking around with great interest, and Bao Zheng's eyes softened.

He knew that Gongsun Ce was already in good health, but he couldn't help it, he just wanted to take care of Gongsun Ce... wished he could do everything, and Gongsun Ce only needed to stay by his side... But he knew, This kind of thinking is unacceptable.Don't say that Gongsun Ce is a proud person in his bones, just say that if he wants Gongsun Ce to stay by his side forever, he must let Gongsun Ce do what he wants to do.

But... some small things, such as carrying a package, it doesn't matter.

"How?" Bao Zheng asked.

Gongsun Ce turned his head and looked at Bao Zheng's eyes with a faint smile. The corners of Gongsun Ce's mouth curled up slightly, "Naturally not bad."

The words of the two were a bit abrupt, but at this moment, both of them understood the other's words in their hearts, looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the inn.

In the register of townships and counties near Duanzhou that Bao Zheng got from the Ministry of Household Affairs, it was already in Gongsun Ce's place.

This register records the number of population and households over the years, as well as the number of taxes paid.

Qinghe County, with a population of only a thousand, failed to pay the tax as required.

As you can see, people are coming and going, and the roadside street stalls are bustling. Is this a county that needs funding from the imperial court every year?

Gongsun Ce's eyes moved away from the weak old man who was peddling porcelain, and there was a little coldness in his eyes.

"They probably don't know I'm here." Bao Zheng said suddenly, in a low voice.

Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

He and Bao Zheng followed suit along the way, and it was impossible for the magistrate of Qinghe County to know their whereabouts. Then, what happened to such a bustling scene that was obviously "acted"?

Look at the old man selling porcelain, his face is yellow and thin, but he is wearing a brocade robe, and he is still selling porcelain? !

Gongsun Ce frowned slightly, his eyes slowly swept across the passers-by on the road, either dull, numb, or muddled, these people... all had dark yellow complexions, cloudy eyes, emaciated, and they were obviously suffering from years of suffering. Frozen people!

"Let's go." Bao Zheng tightened Gongsun Ce's hand, but his eyes were fixed on the second floor of the inn.

Gongsun Ce turned his head and saw Bao Zheng staring up at the second floor of the inn solemnly, so he followed Bao Zheng's eyeliner and saw a man in black standing on the second floor of the inn, with narrow eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. .

Gongsun Ce's heart sank, it was him, Pang Tong!

What does he come to do?

Why is it here?

Although he was full of surprises, but on the face, Gongsun Ce lowered his eyes and spoke softly. "That's Grand Master Pang's son, Flying General Pang Tong."

"Well... I see." Bao Zheng squeezed Gongsun Ce's hand slightly, signaling that Gongsun Ce need not worry.

"Let's go in," Gongsun Ce said.He didn't look up again.

Therefore, Gongsun Ce didn't know that the man in black slightly evoked a playful smile when he saw their clasped hands hidden under the toga.

Of course, the laugh was fleeting.

After entering the inn, Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng went directly to the second floor.

Pang Tong was sitting at the last table by the window on the second floor, smiling politely and distantly at them.

Bao Zheng glanced around casually. The second floor of the inn is very spacious, and the tables are arranged in a square shape. This person does not sit anywhere, but sits in the corner, and it is the last table by the window. This position You can see the whole venue, especially facing the stairs, who came up and who left, it is clear at a glance, and there is a wall behind this position.

It can be seen from this that this person likes to control everything, and likes to hold everything in the palm of his hand. Moreover, this person is very cautious, very careful, he will not hand over his back at will, and will not trust others easily.

When he came to Pang Tong, Pang Tong raised his hand slightly, motioning for the two to sit down.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce did not pretend to refuse, and sat down calmly.

"Is General Pang going to Beijing?" Bao Zheng asked bluntly as soon as he was seated.

Gongsun Ce lowered his head, picked up his teacup, and drank slowly.

Pang Tong raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked at Bao Zheng, asking such a straightforward question without any politeness... Hehe...it's really interesting.

Pang Tong looked again at Gongsun Ce who was drinking tea with drooping eyebrows and downcast eyes, thinking about the letter from Pang's family saying that the boy his younger sister Feiyan was obsessed with was this Gongsun Ce?

Pang Tong looked at Bao Zheng, and lazily said with some ambiguity, "So what?"

"This Qinghe County is because of General Pang, right?" Bao Zheng didn't answer, but glanced at the deserted second floor of the inn, and said to Pang Tong, although it was a question, but his tone was full of affirmation.

"That's right." Pang Tong raised the corners of his mouth and smiled indifferently, as if showing a bit of sarcasm, "The magistrate of Qinghe County is really very clever. He knows that I'm going to pass here..."

Gongsun Ce raised his eyes slightly when he heard the words "hands and eyes reach the sky", and looked at Pang Tong.Hands and eyes?In today's court, the only one who can see the sky with his hands and eyes is Grand Master Pang, right?

What does Pang Tong mean by this?

At the end of her previous life, apart from the Concubine Pang in the palace, there was only Pang Tong in front of her, General Flying Star, who fought to the death with the Kaifeng Mansion!

Among them, some of the reasons were because of Concubine Pang, but more of them were because of Grand Master Pang's death!Although Grand Master Pang's death had nothing to do with Kaifeng Mansion at the beginning, Pang Tong turned his anger on the Eight Sage Kings, and because of the Eight Sage Kings, Kaifeng Mansion suffered disaster!

Speaking of it, he still doesn't understand until now, how did Grand Master Pang die so well back then?

And it was the second day after the eight virtuous king got married!He always felt that the death of Grand Master Pang had something to do with the eight sage kings. Although at that time, grand master Pang and the eight sage kings had reached a point where they were incompatible, the eight sage kings were definitely not the kind of people who would conspire to kill grand master Pang. Moreover... Later, it was proved that Grand Master Pang's death had nothing to do with the Eight Sage Kings.

However, Gongsun Ce always felt that there was still something to do with it.

Uh, this faint and ridiculous feeling is really... very weird!
