[Zuzhou] White clothes in the world

Qing Yi pouted helplessly, this was the seventh time he came to Gu Minglan's mansion this month, and the seventh time he was stopped by an old and loyal servant.

"My lord, my lord has already resigned from office and has nothing to do with government affairs. Your lord, please go back." The old servant respected Qing Yi very much. Three years ago, on the New Year's Day, the Qinglong King who happened to pass by by chance helped Gu Minglan and him out of the siege. , the old servant has always kept in mind.Now that Gu Minglan resigned from office and retired, Qingyi visited again and asked Gu Minglan to re-enter the court. The old servant was grateful for Qingyi's help three years ago and informed Gu Minglan on Qingyi's behalf. With the heart of becoming an official again, Qingyi was rejected.Qingyi didn't give up, and visited the door many times in a month, the old servant was really embarrassed.

The old servant stood in front of the door, Qingyi couldn't bear to embarrass this loyal servant, so he got into the carriage resentfully, and went back along the way he came.

The carriage rolled on the stone road, making a "squeak" sound, Qingyi raised the curtain of the carriage, looked at the row upon row of buildings on the street, and sighed long.Since Gu Minglan resigned, Shi Le has no other generals available except for the chief general Yun Feng. The princes are ready to move.Yunxuan had no choice but to privately entrust the government to Wu Yuan, the chief minister, and at the same time let the four kings Qinglong, Baihu, Xuanwu, and Suzaku balance the government in order to curb the prince's struggle for power.

"It's better as soon as possible." Qing Yi tapped his forehead with the handle of the fan, his brows were almost knotted, Qing Yi felt that he had developed a lot of wrinkles in the past three years.

Qing Yi lazily leaned against the window, his eyes fluttered from this person to that person.Suddenly, Qingyi's eyes fixed, and she fell on a beautiful woman not far away. The woman was nearly thirty years old, graceful and graceful, and her every smile was like a spring breeze blowing on a willow, swaying her graceful posture.

Qing Yi's eyes widened, he saw the woman's eyes passing through the crowd, looking towards him, Qing Yi curled up the corners of his mouth, and waved at the woman with a folding fan.

The woman smiled like a flower, and slightly bowed towards Qingyi. When she raised her head, Qingyi's carriage had already driven towards the busy street.

Fuyu handed over a jade tablet engraved with snake patterns to the old man. The old man held it in his hand and looked at it several times, then said: "Please wait a moment, miss."

Fuyu nodded with a smile, and asked the old man to go first.Gu Minglan's mansion is much simpler than Mo Jingzhi's Mansion of Marquis Jinglie. The courtyard door is a single door made of ordinary elm wood, and the residence is very remote, not much different from ordinary people's homes.If Fuyu hadn't been told by Ze Baiyue before, she might not be able to find her for a while.

After a while, the old man came out from the door and invited Fuyu in.Fuyu thanked her and followed the old man into the mansion where Gu Minglan lived in seclusion.

Compared with Mo Jingzhi's Jingliehou's Mansion, Gu Minglan's house is much smaller, but as soon as he walked into the courtyard, a feeling of deja vu slowly surfaced from the bottom of his heart.After passing the screen wall, there was also a garden full of blazing red pomelo flowers, Fuyu was in a daze for a while, as if she was still in Jingliehou's mansion, or the well-behaved maid guarding Mo Jingzhi's side.

"Girl, master is in the backyard." Seeing Fuyu stop, the old servant reminded.

Fuyu came back to her senses, and smiled apologetically at the old servant: "I'm sorry." Fuyu suddenly remembered something and asked, "I remember that the general likes to grow frost flowers, why did he change them to red flowers?"

The old servant sighed, and said as he walked, "After the master resigned three years ago, he replaced the withered frost tangerine flowers in the courtyard with red garnet flowers."

Fuyu's heart trembled, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.The old man walked in front of Fuyu, but he didn't see Fuyu's smile.The old man continued to lead Fuyu forward, and walked through the front yard, and there was another garden, which was full of freshly bloomed Youlan Mingning flowers, which were different from the feeble Mingning flowers in Jingliehou's mansion. , the Mingning flowers in this garden are flourishing in the sunshine.Fuyu leaned down and gently touched the dewy flower bud.

"Miss, master is under the tree in front." The old servant pointed to a luxuriant elm tree and said to Fuyu.

Fuyu looked in the direction the old man pointed, and there was a man in a black robe standing under the green elm tree. His hair was not tied up, but loosened.Fuyu was startled, and blurted out in surprise: "Master Hou?"

However, Fuyu quickly recovered.Although this person's attire is exactly the same as Mo Jingzhi's, his temperament is quite similar.Mo Jingzhi was lazy and carefree, but this person, with a straight back, was clearly a self-disciplined person.

"Thank you, old man." Fuyu calmed down and thanked the old man.The old man returned the salute and exited the yard.

In March of Yangchun, the garden full of Mingning flowers swayed in the wind, and the cold fragrance wafted in the courtyard. Fuyu, bathed in the fragrance of Mingning flowers, walked towards the man under the tree.

"Fuyu has met the general." When she was still a few steps away from Gu Minglan, Fuyu knelt on the ground and saluted Gu Minglan.

The man in the black robe didn't turn around. The breeze blew his sleeves, and there was a man's indifferent voice in the wind: "He let you off and told you not to get involved in this troubled world again. Why did you come back?"

"What about you?" Fuyu chuckled, "Didn't the general always aim to 'unify the world'? Now why do you resign and live in seclusion here? move?"

Gu Minglan's eyes darkened, and she sneered, "Unify the world? Is this what Mo Jingzhi told you?"

"Don't the general understand Lord Hou?" Fuyu asked back.

"Fuyu, what leverage do you have to talk to me about Mo Jingzhi today?" Gu Minglan turned around leisurely.

"You..." Fuyu gasped as she looked at the man facing her. Apart from the difference in her face, the look in Gu Minglan's eyes, the laziness between her eyebrows, and even the curved line at the corners of her mouth , exactly the same as the person in her memory.

Seeing Fuyu looking at her in surprise, Gu Minglan asked with great interest, "Do you feel familiar?"

Fuyu was brought back to her senses by Gu Minglan's question, she has seen too many unbelievable things today.In three years, Gu Minglan has been sealed here, and the No. 1 who once dominated Zuzhou will fall instantly.Now seeing the former General Shi Leyu again, Shen Cang's real master, Fuyu's heart is sour, she seems to understand why Mo Jingzhi loves this person so much that his heart hurts.

Fuyu clenched the corner of her mouth, and said after a long time: "Why bother, you know Lord Hou better than I do, Lord Hou would not wish to meet such a general."

"Fuyu," Gu Minglan walked to Fuyu's side and whispered, "I just said, how can you talk to me about Mo Jingzhi?"

Fuyu was stunned, she looked sideways at the man who was close at hand, and felt a gust of icy cold wind blowing past her ears, eroding the bone marrow.Fuyu shuddered, and said with a wry smile: "General, please forgive Fuyu for offending me!" Fuyu said as she took out a yellowed book from her bosom and handed it to Gu Minglan.

Gu Minglan's eyes changed suddenly, he stared closely at the four words written in thick ink on the book, and took them in disbelief. ""The Atlas of Thousand Machines"?" Gu Minglan's hand holding the "Atlas of Thousand Machines" couldn't help shaking.

"Yes, Master Hou asked Fuyu to give it to the general." Fuyu sneered.

"It's Mo Jingzhi?" Gu Minglan was taken aback.

Fuyu nodded: "Now, does Fuyu have a bargaining chip to talk to the general about Lord Hou?"

"Does he want me to spare your life?" Gu Minglan held the "Atlas of Thousand Machines" in her hand, with a half-smile, "A traitor who betrayed Shen Cang, a traitor who betrayed Mo Jingzhi, really can't stay here In this world. However, he still wants me to save your life after all." Gu Minglan put away her lazy look, and gritted her teeth.

Fuyu stared at the man who was gradually showing hostility, and said frankly: "I am not the one that Lord Hou wants to protect. In Beiyang County, on the night Lord Hou was captured, Lord Hou said to Fuyu that in this troubled world It's time to end." After Fuyu finished speaking, she glanced at the gloomy man.

This chaos should end.So Mo Jingzhi calculated that Gu Minglan would raid Beiyang, but he still gave up Beiyang County, and exchanged his life for the agreement that Mo Yishen and Yunxuan had already made.He also has this ambition to end the troubled times, but he is neither on Yan Kong's side nor on Shi Le's side.

"He asked you to give me the "Thousand Machine Atlas" instead of Mo Yishen."

"Yes, because Shao Siming told Lord Hou that the one who can truly unify Zuzhou is Shi Le Shizi who is far away in Beimo, not Mo Yishen." Fuyu said quietly.

"Mo Jingzhi believed it?" Gu Minglan didn't believe that that cunning man would easily believe the words of a young commander in the enemy country.

Fuyu shook her head: "How could Lord Hou believe it? Lord Hou just felt that even if Mo Yishen ruled Zuzhou, the people would end up in ruins. Instead of doing this, it is better to believe in the person he has always loved."

"What kind of world does he want?" Gu Minglan was thinking about Mo Jingzhi's last plan. During the month when the two met three years ago, Gu Minglan faintly felt that Mo Jingzhi had a deep obsession in his heart.Thinking about it now, the obsession in Mo Jingzhi's heart is too ridiculous.

Gu Minglan suddenly laughed loudly: "Does he want a world of great unity? Doesn't he know how many bones were trampled on by Emperor Yuan Shi when he unified Zuzhou thousands of years ago? Bai Ze, one of the four kingdoms in Zuzhou, has not destroyed the country so far. Fuguo, does he really think he can rule the world without bloodshed?!" At the end, Gu Minglan almost roared, he deliberately pretended to look the same as Mo Jingzhi, and finally broke down completely at this moment.

"The general thinks Master Hou is just talking about dreams?" Fuyu looked at Gu Minglan like this, feeling a little distressed.

"Yes! He's an idiot! He's still stupid!" Gu Minglan threw the "Atlas of Thousand Machines" on the ground and stepped on the "Atlas of Thousand Machines". , how could he fulfill this foolish dream for him!"

He looked at the sky, the blue sky was cloudless, but there was a cold wind blowing.The Mingning flowers all over the garden sway with the wind, like blue sea waves.

The courtyard fell silent, and Fuyu bent down to pick up the "Atlas of Thousand Machines" that Gu Minglan had thrown on the ground, and carefully wiped the dirt on the booklet.This is the last thing Mo Jingzhi gave her. She once betrayed Mo Jingzhi because of this album, and now because of this album, she obeyed Mo Jingzhi's instructions and sent "A Thousand Machines Atlas" to her betrayed master. .However, Gu Minglan did not accept Mo Jingzhi's kindness.

"General, no, master, Master Hou has always believed that you can fulfill his last wish." After a long time, Fuyu stood up and handed the wiped "Thousand Machine Atlas" to Gu Minglan again, "Because , he has only loved you in this life, and he will never change until death."

Unswerving until death.Gu Minglan took the "Atlas of Thousand Machines" again, and closed her eyes in pain.
