Sha Po Lang

In an instant, Gu Yun lost all temper.

He reached out to catch Chang Geng, patted Chang Geng's back, and rubbed his chin against the other's shoulder, feeling that those arms were no longer just a skeletal skeleton.

Gu Yun also wanted to say "I miss you too" very bluntly, but he has never said it since he was so old, the words kept falling in his chest and stomach, and finally got stage fright, and fled back into his stomach.

He just smiled lightly and said, "How old is she, still acting like a baby."

Chang Geng closed his eyes, he knew in his heart that he couldn't go beyond the rules, he couldn't restrain himself, but his limbs and body could restrain themselves.

He let go of Gu Yun graciously, and calmly stood by the side, enduring the invisible wildfire that filled his chest.He knew that he wanted too much, it was unreasonable, and even all the grievances arising from it were disgusting, so he didn't dare to show any signs of it.

Chang Geng took a deep breath and asked, "Why did the adoptive father come to Jiangnan?"

Gu Yun gave him a sideways glance, and said angrily: "I still have the face to ask, isn't it all because of you?"

Chang Geng didn't dare to look at him too much, and lowered his head slightly.

However, Gu Yun only thought that he had spoken seriously, and the reprimand had already reached the tip of his tongue, but he hurriedly snatched it back.He put his thumb into the palm of his hand, and pinched it back and forth two or three times, one joint at a time. The exhaustion from traveling thousands of miles came to him. He endured this sudden exhaustion and thought about it several times. He tried his best to face it calmly. Chang Geng said: "Sit down, and tell me why you are with that bald...cough."

Gu Yun realized that it seemed inappropriate to call "Vald Donkey" in front of Chang Geng, but he couldn't say "Master" and got stuck.

Chang Geng: "Obviously Master wants to travel south, and I decided to follow him on my own initiative. If my adoptive father went to trouble him because of this, I would feel very sorry."

Gu Yun: "..."

Chang Geng was very good at talking, he knew how to excuse that bald donkey, and he knew how to excuse it so as not to get angry, he explained the difference between inside and outside in one sentence, which made Gu Yun almost say "I'm sorry".He was secretly surprised for the second time, it was only a year ago, where did the kid who talked like a mallet learn this trick?

"When my foster father was my age, he had already gone south to suppress the rebellion and bandits, but I was still incapable of writing, so I wanted to leave the Hou Mansion to see the outside world." Chang Geng glanced at Gu Yun secretly, and found that his eyes There was blood in the mouth, and I couldn't continue talking immediately, and my heart filled with guilt rose from my chest to my throat, and said in a low voice, "...It's just a way of willfulness, and I let my adoptive father run around. I was wrong, so you punish me."

Gu Yun was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "The first time I went out with the army, it was actually General Du and the old Hou Ye who joined forces with the former emperor to force me to come here."

Chang Geng raised his head suddenly.

Gu Yun is not a very humble person, he would often run the train with his mouth full when he drank too much, and he had blown nonsense such as "You can knock down twenty iron puppets in half a stick of incense with your eyes and ears plugged". But when he thinks about it carefully, he became famous at a young age, took command of the Western Expedition, and reorganized the Xuantieying. It is clear that it would be enough to brag about it for half a lifetime, but Gu Yun never mentioned it.

Gu Yun took out another cup and poured Chang Geng a cup of slightly sour wine: "This is the wine of the Loulan people, you are old, you can have a few sips."

Chang Geng took a sip, but didn't taste anything, so he put it aside.He and Gu Yun haven't seen each other for a long time, the sight of him is already disturbing the blood, there is really no need for the blessing of wine.

Gu Yun: "I didn't understand anything at the time, and following along was just adding to the confusion. I was young and frivolous, and refused to admit it humbly. On the way to suppress the bandits, I made a big mess by acting impetuously and rashly, and a small battle broke my heart. More than 30 heavy armors piled up with real gold and silver, and also seriously injured General Du...Have you heard of General Du Changde?"

Chang Geng heard it clearly and said that the monk is familiar with all the civil and military officials of the past and present, and he is probably more familiar with the Buddha's scriptures.

More than ten years ago, the old An Dinghou and his wife died of illness one after another. Gu Yun was still young. It was old General Du who dealt with the frontiers and courts, supporting the overall situation. Unfortunately, his old injuries recurred later and he died on the way to the northwest. Let Gu Yun, who was only 17 years old at the time, take charge of the Western Expedition.

Gu Yun: "If it wasn't for that time, the old man would have been strong and strong, and he wouldn't have suffered from a cold attack. When the team went south to suppress the bandits and returned to the court, the old man wrote a letter to the court and told me I didn’t mention a single word of my fault, and the whole article was about showing merit, which forced me to stay in the army.”

When Gu Yun said this, he paused.

He suddenly felt a little unbelievable, all the way he was thinking about how to teach Chang Geng a lesson after catching him, from thinking about fighting in literature to fighting in martial arts, who knew that somehow it turned into sitting down and explaining his embarrassing old things.

He thought that he would keep those things secret, but now that he took a look at them, he could suddenly face them calmly.

It was simply beyond what he knew about himself.

Perhaps Shen Yi is right, the youngest son and the old father are indeed heavy burdens, which can make people lower their heads and see themselves clearly.

"The reason why I am in this position is not because I am better than anyone else, but because my surname is Gu." Gu Yun looked at Chang Geng and said, "Sometimes, your background determines what you must do and what you must not do." What."

This was the first time that Gu Yun explained to Chang Geng the reason why he couldn't take him to the northwest, although it was very cryptic.

Chang Geng looked at him without moving.

Gu Yun thought about it for a while, and then said: "But if you really think about what kind of path you want to take, you don't have to worry too much. As long as I am still alive, I will always have the strength to help you with those things that you shouldn't have. Sweep away the obstacles."

Chang Geng originally thought that following Monk Liao Ran, he had developed a mouth that dared to speak to anyone, but only now did he realize that this "someone" still wanted to get rid of Gu Yun, and he faced Gu Yun. Sometimes, he becomes extremely clumsy and clumsy.

He always thought that he was a burden thrown to Gu Yun by the late emperor, a greedy person coveting a world that did not belong to him, but it turned out he was not.

Chang Geng thought to himself, it is impossible for anyone to treat him like Gu Yun.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed outside the door: "Master."

Gu Yun came back to his senses, waved his hand to Chang Geng and said, "Go to rest early, will you eat and live with that monk—well, or do you want to stay here and sleep with me?"

Chang Geng: "..."

There was a "bang" in his mind, and his face turned red immediately.

Gu Yun smiled and said: "You have learned to be embarrassed. I used to cry when I had nightmares, didn't I coax you to sleep?"

Chang Geng really didn't know how to face this kind of slander that came face to face - the key point was that Gu Yun spoke so frankly, as if there was such a thing!

The young man who seemed to be eloquent just now finally lost his temper, and ran out of Gu Yun's room with a little trembling footsteps.

After Chang Geng left, Gu Yun waved to the door: "Come in."

A soldier in black eagle armor immediately entered.

Xuan Ying said: "This subordinate was ordered to hunt down that monk..."

Knowing that he abducted the little prince out of Beijing in private, even though this matter was outrageous, now that the person has been found, it would be inconvenient for Gu Yun to offend Huguo Temple too badly, not to mention that Chang Geng just talked about love.

Gu Yun: "Forget it, tell Chongze to withdraw the arrest warrant, just say it was a misunderstanding, and I will invite that Master Zhiran to have a vegetarian meal another day."

"Chongze" is Master Yao's word in Yao Zhen - although he said so, he knows that as long as he grows up his mind, he will not dare to come to the banquet. Gu Yun is sure that he will even drink his saliva in front of his face not go down.

That Xuanying said in a low voice: "This subordinate is incompetent. I haven't found the trace of that eminent monk. I saw him board a ferry this evening. When the officers and soldiers uploaded and searched, they found this."

As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and when he opened it, he found that it was a strip of cloth with a little golden powder on it.

Gu Yun took it and only glanced at it before frowning.

He is very familiar with this thing. It is called "Broken Heart". It is a kind of ore that is born with Ziliujin. , It is very convenient to filter it out with a special process when using it.

However, the general imperial court transported Ziliujin, either by using giant kites to fly in the air, or by simply taking the official route and being escorted by garrisons from various places. How could there be such a thing on a ferry that a monk could casually get on?

Gu Yun: "You didn't say anything, did you?"

Xuanying: "Don't worry, Commander."

Gu Yun stood up and took two steps on the spot: "Now, don't withdraw the arrest warrant, just say to the outside world that I must catch that monk, and the brothers will keep an eye on those ferry boats for me. Where did they come from? where to..."

When Gu Yun said this, his voice stopped abruptly. He was shocked to find that his vision began to blur slowly, and there was a phantom around Xuanying not far away.

"It's broken," Gu Yun thought calmly, "I left in a hurry and didn't bring any medicine."

No wonder it vaguely felt as if he had forgotten something, Shen Yi didn't remind him even if he was such an idiot.

Xuanying: "Master?"

Gu Yun picked up his own voice as if nothing had happened: "If possible, it's best to know who the owner of the boat is, and pay special attention to who is in contact with them on weekdays."

Xuan Ying has no doubts about him: "Yes."

"Wait, there's more," Gu Yun called to stop him, "If you find that monk, bring him to see me."

Xuanying immediately took the order and left.

After dismissing Xuan Ying, Gu Yun turned on the gas lamp on the table, and sat down without moving.

Jiangnan does not produce Ziliujin. If there is a problem with those ferries, there are only two sources-either officials in Jiangnan resold it privately, or it came from overseas.

If it's the former, it's better to say that the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, took advantage of the puppet cultivation here to steal money for personal gain.

But if it's the latter, I'm afraid it will be complicated.

The seven major military branches of Daliang are not weak, especially the "Jia" and "Eagle" are the most powerful. They are the accumulation of painstaking efforts of three generations of Lingshu Academy. people.

Only "Jiao" can't do it.

Although the "Jiao" of Daliang is used for water warfare, it is generally only used for coastal defense and rarely goes to sea. It is not comparable to the huge sailing ships of Westerners who ride the wind and waves.

This has always been the case - when the sea trade routes ran through the east, west, north and south, almost all the docks in the coastal ports were foreign ships. At that time, Emperor Wu was in power, and Liang was rich and powerful, and he didn't care about the daily trade with Western barbarians. It's all foreigners who come here to pan for gold.

At that time, the so-called "commercial" meant that people delivered goods to the door, and only here opened the wharf condescendingly, reluctantly leaving foreigners' scraps and dogs, and rewarding them with pocket money.

From the first emperor to the present, although he saw the profits of shipping and trade, he was very enthusiastic, but because the northwest line has not been peaceful, the coastal defense of the "giant dragon entering the sea" has always been shelved, either because he has no money or no Ziliujin quota.

If someone on those ferries was really reselling Ziliujin privately, it would most likely threaten the coastal defense of the East China Sea.

And Monk Liao Ran, did he lead them to the ferry unintentionally, or was it planned for a long time?

After a while, Gu Yun's eyes became more and more blurred. He felt in his arms and found the glass mirror, which he put on his nose so that at least one eye could see a little bit clearly.

Gu Yun smiled wryly, and thought, "What should we do?"

Chang Geng fled back to his room without touching the ground, his heartbeat hadn't calmed down, he opened the door and saw a pale monk, he raised his breath again, quickly closed the door, and said in a low voice; " Master Ming, why are you here?"

Knowing that he put his palms together with a smile on his face——Amitabha, poor monks penetrate through every hole.

This monk must have been trained to disappear without a trace. He is very elusive. He can even enter and leave the mansion of the inspector at any time. He is really a god.

The monk made gestures with Chang Geng: "I'm afraid Marquis An Ding will probably be able to let me go this time, Your Highness don't need to worry."

Chang Geng didn't worry about him, he thought clearly, and after a slight change of thought, he came back to his senses and asked, "Did you use me to lure him here on purpose? What exactly does Ying Tian Mansion have?"

Liao Ran looked at him with admiration, slowly stretched out both hands, and signed in sign language: "The dragon monster in the East China Sea wants to transform into a dragon, and the monk specially invites a great catastrophe."

What does this imply?Is King Wei going to rebel?

Or something else?

For a moment, several thoughts crossed Chang Geng's mind. Before, he only knew that this monk was a secularist, but he didn't expect him to be so deeply into the secular world. His eyes couldn't help showing some scrutiny and precaution.

However, before he could ask any more questions, Liao Ran gestured to him to keep up, and jumped out of the window with ease. Chang Geng hesitated for a moment, took off his saber, and followed out.
