How could the sun come to Benhou's mansion? "

"Yiqing is becoming more and more polite." Zuoqiu Yan smiled, with a trace of sarcasm and resentment in his tone, "Could it be that you have gone too far recently?"

Gu Xi knew what he was going to say, and replied, "This Marquis has his own measure."

"Then how is Yiqing going to deal with Guo Yuan and Sun Qiang's investigation?" Zuo Qiuyan immediately interjected, staring closely at Gu Xi, as if he wanted to make a few holes in him.

"Oh?" Gu Xi rolled his eyes, and then laughed loudly: "So the progress is so fast?"

Seeing his indifferent appearance, Zuoqiu Yan felt an unknown anger in his heart for no reason.He knew Gu Xi's strength, and this kind of thing should not be enough to destroy him, but this time it was really not like his style.Gu Xi, who has always encountered this kind of thing, although he had a smile on his face, he would immediately discuss countermeasures with himself, but this time he seemed to be really playing crazy and drunk, and he didn't care about his own reminders.

In addition to the incident near the Qianlong Temple not long ago, a sense of loss and anger surged up, and he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Yiqing!"

Gu Xi was taken aback by him for a moment, a trace of panic flashed across his face, he was a little speechless, and after a while he stretched out his hand to touch Zuo Qiuyan's face as if to comfort him, but Zuo Qiuyan shook his hand away and went on. When he came down, he wanted to grab Gu Xi's arm.

But Huo Shifang reacted faster, he was blocked between the two of them for a moment, and a colder breath hit Zuoqiu Yan's heart like cold rain.

Zuo Qiuyan stared at Huo Shifang's expressionless face, feeling that something was wrong with this person today, and said in a deep voice, "It's none of your business."

A trace of stagnation flashed in Huo Shifang's eyes, but he remained silent.

"Shifang, don't make trouble." Gu Xi said at this time, his tone was full of affection, and Zuo Qiuyan's ears were full of thorns, one by one, piercing his already hard and cold heart.

Seeing Gu Xi gently pulled Huo Shifang away, and then said to Zuo Qiuyan in a very rare and serious manner: "A Yan, I will take care of this matter, don't worry about it."

"Then wait until Zuoqiu Yi kills him?"

Gu Xi smiled and said, "No matter what happens to this Marquis, A Yan." Then his eyes froze, as if to indicate something.He paused every word: "You still have to follow your own pace and go on."

"What do you mean?" Zuoqiu Yan said, "Yiqing, did you count something?"

"The secret must not be revealed." Gu Xi smiled more and more charmingly, but also became more and more distant, with an appearance of keeping secrets.He turned around and gave Shi Fang some instructions, but after a while, Shi Fang brought a stack of papers and handed them directly to Zuo Qiuyan.

Zuo Qiuyan accepted it suspiciously and opened it. He was taken aback by the dense and unknown internal affairs and financial records on it, and said, "How did you get it?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he understood. Technique means, what else is he not known?

"A Yan doesn't need to ask more questions," Gu Xi showed a confident smile, "This Marquis has a lot of ideas. A Yan can just follow his own steps, and nothing will happen."

This sentence is very appropriate and caring, and it is completely spoken in the tone of a friend, but it sounds so alienated to Zuoqiuyan's ears.

If he was really self-indulgent, he didn't want to ask too much.But there was still a sliver of expectation in his heart, which forced him to open his throat, and said cautiously: "Is Yiqing not attached to this hall?"

As soon as he did this, he felt that he had said it before, he had never been in love, so what is there to miss?

Gu Xi was taken aback for a moment, with a dumbfounding expression on his face, Zuo Qiuyan's eyes were icy cold with this expression - it seemed that Gu Xi really didn't take himself seriously, and the last hope in his heart was wiped out. into pieces.

The extreme of wisdom will be hurt, the deep love will not live long, the extreme will be humiliated, the humble gentleman, gentle and moist as jade.

He Zuoqiu Yan has never been a gentleman, and he also understands this truth.But with his personality, if he can't get it, he will use all means and methods to get it for himself.However, facing such a Gu Xi, he has nothing to do, perhaps because Gu Xi is too powerful, so he has no means to speak of.

"A Yan, you should know Ben Hou." Gu Xi suddenly said.

"Yes." Zuo Qiuyan nodded, "I can't understand more."

Gu Xi looked at him in surprise when he heard that, as if surprised by the change in his attitude, he suddenly talked more, which also foreshadowed something bad.

"Yiqing is a man of temperament. If you like it, you can do it. If you don't like it, it's very clear. You can't beg."

"Huh? Ah Yan, you..."

"It seems to be sentimental, but it is actually the most ruthless."

Gu Xi was silent, looked at the relieved Zuoqiu Yan, couldn't say a word, but finally said: "What you said is indeed the truth." Then he still smiled and said: "A Yan really understands Yu Junhou. "

"Thank you." Zuo Qiuyan said this dryly without any expression.

Gu Xi paused, and said: "A Yan should handle the current matter well. Zuoqiu Yi's power should not be underestimated, and Xichang's manpower is still very strong. But don't worry, this Marquis will help you solve the problem of Xichang. factory."

"Yiqing also needs to protect herself, don't get herself out of trouble."

"Hahaha," Gu Xi laughed, "Ayan, Ben Hou just said that no matter what happens to Ben Hou, you have to go on as you want." Don’t go against your original ideas.”

There was something in his words, but Zuo Qiuyan knew that he would never be able to get it out of him.He could only nod his head and say: "Okay." Then he turned around without making a memorial and said: "Then the hall will go back to the residence first, and if there is anything to do later, we will contact more."

"It will."

After finishing speaking, Zuo Qiuyan slowly walked out of the front hall, his haughty back showed no trace of love, nor could he tolerate any pity.

The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, parting from love, long-lasting resentment, not being able to ask, and not letting go.

Zuoqiu Yan quickly returned to the mansion quietly, his heart was clear, although there were some unnatural blemishes, but it was already clear.He took a deep breath, this time he wasn't as disappointed and worried as he thought.

Gu Xi is not as important to him as the supreme treasure that he imagined.

He looked to the north, where was the magnificent palace, thoughtfully; then he turned to the south, as if thinking of something, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

【Central Plains Kanwei City】

The tour to the south of the Yangtze River has achieved a lot of results. The emperor's personal tour, coupled with the fact that the water conservancy in the south of the Yangtze River is blooming everywhere, has done a good job of regulating the floods of the previous year. appease.Wulin also stopped for a while.

July was also the time when Zuoqiu Jie set off to return to the imperial capital.

The group has arrived at Kanwei City in the Central Plains, which is not far from the imperial capital, about a day or two away.Today Zuoqiujie started his journey here, the weather was so hot that people couldn't help feeling irritable, and the melodious singing of cicadas couldn't relieve it.

The red sunflower has long ears in the rain, and the green dates have no wind to press the branches.When people are wet with sweat, when Lin Chan is steaming.

Fu Yin respectfully presented Zuoqiu Jie with an exquisite lunch box, which was double-layered, with some fruits and vegetables placed on the top, and mung beans and clear sand on the bottom to cool off the heat.Among them, the slices of crystal-clear and sand-red watermelon are very tempting. Take a light bite, it is really sweet but not greasy, and it is extremely refreshing.

"This is the intention of a humble official. The weather is scorching hot, and His Majesty is traveling all the way, so it is inevitable that there will be heat. Fruits and vegetables are delicious, and mung beans can dispel the heat, and they can take care of the dragon's body."

"Master Yu is like this, I am very pleased." Zuo Qiujie smiled gently.Hearing this, the Fu Yin was immediately overjoyed and kowtowed to thank him.So the group set off from the mansion cautiously and quietly, heading north along Kanwei City.

On the back of Kanwei City are layers of forests. Although they are lush, they are not as vast as forests.The chariots and horses slowly drove into a green ocean, moving forward in a low-key and luxurious manner.

Sitting on the horse, Xuanzhi felt that it was a little cooler after entering the woods, and the slight chirping of birds and cicadas touched his memory, as if he had returned to his childhood, carefree... That heart-wrenching feeling came back again , hovering between hatred and love, unable to escape, unwilling to choose.

Now I can only wander here, blinding myself with the illusion of reality.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the slow forest has not come to an end.Originally, passing through the woods and passing a small town is the outskirts of Changling.The people in the marching team were a little puzzled, so they turned their eyes to Chang Guang.

Chang Guang frowned silently, the woods in his impression did not have such a long road.But everything in front of him seemed to be the same, maybe because he was getting old, it was inevitable that he remembered wrongly, so he said: "Keep going."

"What's the matter?" A lazy voice came from the carriage, Zuoqiu Jie raised the curtain and asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, it's all right, I just feel that the journey time is too long, wondering if I've gone astray." Chang Guang said.

Zuoqiu Jie tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "I also think that today's time is too long, but I can't go wrong if I keep going north."

"Return to Your Majesty, I will go forward for a moment, and I will check it when the time comes."

"it is good."

About an hour later, the sun had already turned from the east to the south.At noon, the weather became more and more boring, and there were already discussions among the team.Even Chang Guang felt that something was really wrong.

Even if his memory is wrong, the guards will not remember it wrongly. Originally, the woods could be covered in two hours, but now it takes much longer than that.But the direction is definitely not wrong, so what is going on?

The noise of cicadas made the forest quieter.

The sound of the cicada...Chang Guang was startled suddenly, and found that the sound of the cicada followed them from the beginning to the end, the tone and intensity remained unchanged, as if it had always been among them.Although it is common for cicadas to sound continuously in summer, after all, they are heading north all the way, and it is impossible to have cicadas.
