The Eight Winds of Rebirth

Chapter 41 Calculation

Gu Xiangtan was thinking about who else would come to the Cangjuan Pavilion besides them at this time, when he heard Zhao Jie's voice behind two rows of bookcases.

"You are very capable. Let Lingfo find a way to get you to Guozi Temple?"

Immediately afterwards came Zhao Su's answer, his tone seemed a little sincere and fearful.

"The third son misunderstood, and I don't know why I was merciful to Lingfo. Before the emperor came to issue the decree this morning, I really didn't know any news."

Zhao Jie snorted, and looked Zhao Su up and down, inside and out, with gloomy eyes.

"Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts. I was able to bring you thousands of miles from Dong County to the capital because I understand that you are a smart person. If this smartness is used in the right place, it will naturally bring you a bright future. If you make a wrong calculation, whether it is a blessing or a disaster, you can only resign yourself to fate."

Zhao Su was silent for a moment, then bowed his head and said: "The lesson of the third son is that Zhao Su dare not say that he has nothing to ask for, but he has absolutely no other intentions for the third king and the third son, and he will not do anything in private. Even if I think about it, the Lingfo is not someone like me who can control it casually, Zhao Su has no other ideas, but hopes that one side will live a stable life, with food and clothing in the future, and a worry-free life is enough."

"Hmph, is there no other idea? I don't even dare to expect a life without worry." Zhao Jie said coolly, but he barely accepted Zhao Su's words. Why is this kid rushing to quibble and express his loyalty? Yes, Zhao Bing wanted to doubt him, but he didn't really believe it at the moment, but he couldn't find any faults for the time being. The most important thing was just like what Zhao Su said, how could a person like him get the title of Lingfo? help?Or run to make the emperor look blue?Right now, it's just a pitiful look that sells well and arouses Gu Xiangtan's compassion.

Zhao Jie didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly put away the gloom on his face, put on a friendly smile, and emptiedly helped Zhao Su.

"In fact, we are also a family. If I really miss you, why did I bring you to the capital? Look, what kind of life have you lived in Dongxian County for so many years? Who else but us Remembering you, during these days in Beijing, how many human relationships have you tasted? By now you should know that not everyone cares so much about blood relatives."

Zhao Su nodded solemnly, as if thinking of his miserable life experience and the past years of poverty, a trace of forbearance and grievance flashed in his eyes, which happened to be caught by Zhao Jie.

"So a good life and a good life should be earned with your own hands. As the saying goes: It is better to seek oneself than to seek Buddha and heaven. The world is uncertain, and it is the time when people are employed everywhere. It is difficult to make heroes, and heroes need good generals." It just depends on whether you are a talent worth relying on."

Zhao Su pondered, his face brightened for a while, and then he made a long bow to Zhao Jie.

"Thank you, the third son, for your advice. Zhao Su understands. Although Zhao Su is single and weak now, if the third son has a place to serve, Zhao Su will definitely do his best to live up to the entrustment. On that day, Zhao Suneng ascended to heaven, fulfilling his long-cherished wish."

Zhao Jie nodded with a smile, and kept saying "naturally", but he was thinking in his heart: If you can't achieve great things, why should this son keep you, but if you can accomplish great things, this world will not be able to keep you even more up.

It's just that everything is not now.

The two went back and forth a few times without any pain, and Zhao Jie left first in a hurry. Before leaving, he didn't ask Zhao Su to do anything else, but said: "Since Lingfo values ​​you, then you can Treat him well."

Zhao Jie himself has nothing to do with Gu Xiangtan for the time being. He has given up all the tricks and diligence that should be used. Even the most disgusting Buddhist scriptures are copied day by day until he feels sick, but Gu Xiangtan still looks like A pool of tepid cold water is like a pool of tepid cold water, no matter how it can't stir up any waves, is it true that Zhao Jie is really required to imitate that childish and stupid Zhao Ze to please him?Zhao Jie would rather change to a more direct method. It would be nice to have Zhao Su now. As long as the supervision is proper, let's try it for a while.

Here, Zhao Jie walked away contentedly. Zhao Su looked at his back as he went away, and slowly put away the respect on his face, replacing it with a deep thread, which was firmly nailed to the person who was walking away, until he was gone again. Also out of sight.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Zhao Su was startled suddenly, and immediately said harshly, "Who's there?!"

Gu Xiangtan was bumped so suddenly by Zhao Yuan before, he was really unprepared, he was stuck in a corner, one side of his waist was still pressed against the protruding edge of the wall, it hurt a little, Zhao Yuan panicked It was just on his own body, and the other party was still holding a bunch of books in his hand.

Gu Xiangtan wanted to move, but listening to the conversation between the two people outside, he was afraid of being discovered, so he could only grit his teeth and stand upright. However, at this moment, Zhao Yuan was keenly aware of his uncomfortable predicament, and moved slightly Backed away, trying to stand upright, then quietly put out a hand to wrap around Gu Xiangtan's waist, and put his arm against the wall, acting as the bulge on Gu Xiangtan's back. The meat pads that come into contact with the source.

Gu Xiangtan felt the tight strength of Zhao Yuan's arms, shook his head at him hurriedly, and said with his mouth: It's okay.

Zhao Yuan ignored him, and just kept this posture motionless, silently bearing the double weight of Gu Xiangtan and the stack of books.

Afterwards, Gu Xiangtan didn't even bother to listen to what Zhao Jie and Zhao Su were saying, he just stared at Zhao Yuan's face, although he didn't see any effort on his face, he hugged his own hand and hugged him. It was very stable, but Gu Xiangtan still felt extremely anxious.

And when Zhao Jie finally finished talking and walked away slowly, Gu Xiangtan hastily pushed Zhao Yuan away, and went to check his hand, but just moved, and touched the crooked pile of books on the side, "Papa "Click", the top book fell down, the sound was very soft, but it was enough for Zhao Su to hear clearly in the quiet room.

When his obviously nervous and defensive questioning voice sounded, Gu Xiangtan was slightly startled, and met Zhao Yuan's eyes, then Gu Xiangtan said silently: I'll go out.

Zhao Yuan pulled him, a little reluctant, but Gu Xiangtan signaled that he was fine, Zhao Yuan thought about it, and let go.

Just when Zhao Su was already suspicious and was about to walk to the row of bookcases, a figure walked out. Zhao Su took a closer look, and it was Gu Xiangtan standing in front of him?

Zhao Su hurriedly saluted him, lowered his head, and quickly sorted out the conversation between himself and Zhao Jie just now.

When he was thinking about how to explain it to him, Gu Xiangtan stepped forward and said: "Last time, what you said to me...I have thought about it carefully."

Zhao Su hurriedly suppressed his emotions, and said cautiously: "Yes, I don't know what Lingfo wants?"

"I didn't believe it all, but a few days ago, the emperor found me, and he asked me to help the prince. To show his sincerity, the emperor told me some details of the murder case, and some of them were indeed as you said." Xiang Gu Tan concealed Xue Yiyang, and only pulled Emperor Zongzheng out to cover his back.

And it's not surprising that the emperor would ask Gu Xiangtan for help, Zhao Su also expected this day, seeing Gu Xiangtan's mournful expression, he couldn't help comforting him: "Ling Buddha, please mourn..."

Gu Xiangtan's words are sad, three points are the true feelings of the present, and seven points are the grievances of the past life: "Xiangtan doesn't understand, the Buddha arranged the fate of the Lingfo, isn't it to save the common people and save Daye? But my Gu family is full of common people and great people. Why do the people of Ye have to suffer such a catastrophe and die? Those people are willing to kill for their selfish desires. Not only are they living in glory and wealth, but they are also trying to take a step forward. If their wish is fulfilled one day, they don’t know how they will die! "

Zhao Su took a step forward and said: "That's exactly the case, so we should plan ahead, and not let the evil thoughts of these malicious and hypocritical people take root."

Gu Xiangtan sighed: "I happened to be looking for books in the pavilion just now, and I heard what you and the third son said."

Seeing that Zhao Su was about to speak, Gu Xiangtan interrupted him: "You don't need to talk too much, I understand, I don't judge you with those vain fame and small profits, since I believe you, I will believe it all, if you want to harm me, I will do it too." But I am alone, at worst, I will go with my family, so as not to stay in the world of mortals and suffer all kinds of torture, if I can exchange for one of you who can fulfill your wish, it will be regarded as a merit before death."

Gu Xiangtan's words were free and easy, but Zhao Su's heart was twisted when he heard it. Looking at his thin and bleak figure, helpless and alone, he imagined how much he was like himself.

Zhao Su's eyes retreated a bit, and it was rare for him to say sincerely: "Actually, I also understand that Lingfo can tell the emperor to send me to Guozi Temple today. Zhao Su remembers your kindness, and I won't say much about it. I can guarantee here that as long as I, Zhao Su, live for a day, I will definitely not make those people feel better!"

Gu Xiangtan and Zhao Su looked at each other for a moment, then nodded slowly: "It's just now... what should we do?"

He left this decision to Zhao Su, and sure enough, Zhao Su had already thought about it.

"Steady at both ends and wait for the opportunity to move."

"Two ends?"

"Yes," Zhao Su stepped forward again, and he was only a step away from Gu Xiangtan. He could clearly see the slightly pale face of the young man in front of him. Although his brows and eyes were full of anger, they were still clear and clear, like two pools. Like a clear spring, "Lingfo stabilizes the emperor's side, and the three kings' side, I will find a way."

"Although the emperor asked me to help the prince, I can't control so much about political affairs." Gu Xiangtan was a little troubled.

"Don't worry, take your time," Zhao Su comforted him, "there's always a chance. The emperor's mind is now on three sides, one is on the prince, one is on the three kings, and the other... is on the side of the great prince. Take the two ends first, and finally it will be the turn of the great prince and others."

Hearing that Zhao Su mentioned Zhao Yuan and the others, Gu Xiangtan's brows flashed, and he hurriedly lowered his eyelashes to cover up his unhappiness, and nodded in agreement after he calmed down.

Looking at the sky, Gu Xiangtan said: "It's getting late, if I stay any longer I'm afraid it will attract others' suspicion, you go first, I'll leave later."

Zhao Su understood, stepped back to the door and looked left and right, and when he saw no one, he turned around and cupped his hands at Gu Xiangtan, and then quickly disappeared.

While thinking about Zhao Su's words, Gu Xiangtan turned around and saw Zhao Yuan standing not far away.

Zhao Yuan's face was still indifferent, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes, and she looked straight at Gu Xiangtan.

Gu Xiangtan didn't know why he felt a little guilty, but he didn't dare to continue looking into Zhao Yuan's eyes, and turned his head to avoid his gaze.

The two of them just stood there in silence for a while, and Zhao Yuan was the first to walk out with the book in hand.

When passing by that person, Gu Xiangtan's chest sank, and he couldn't help but think to himself: I am such a hypocritical and insidious person, and I was never the ignorant Gu Xiangtan in your heart.
