[Zuzhou] White clothes in the world

The red agate stones hanging on the red palace were jingled by the night wind, and the night was dark, but the red palace was still brightly lit.

Sha Yangren sat on the golden throne of King Hanhai, and Yun Luan and Gu Minglan sat on the left and right of the second seat.Yunluan played with the red agate stone in his hand, with a distant smile on his lips.Gu Minglan, who had always been calm and calm, lowered his eyes at this moment, not as casual as usual.Sha Yangren sized up the two of them, looked at Gu Minglan, and suddenly laughed: "I heard that General Yu went to the evening market, didn't he find an eye-catching agate?"

Gu Minglan raised her head, bowed to Sha Yangren, and said, "I found a good piece of earth mother statue, but Gu is too shy to look at Shi Xing."

"Oh, the shop that the General Yu can't afford, is it the shop of the Mo family?" Sha Yangren glanced at the red agate stone in Yunluan's hand with interest. The Mohist shop looks like an ordinary thing.

"Exactly." Gu Minglan nodded, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became even weaker, "The name of the Mohist school has spread all over Zuzhou, and the agate products are almost comparable to the products of Yankong Liulifang."

"If the general likes it, how about buying it for the general alone?" Sha Yangren said to Gu Minglan, but his eyes fell on Yunluan's side.

Yun Luan felt the burning eyes from ahead, raised his eyes, and teased: "Where is the king in the world, does the king still need to buy the things in the shop of the Mohist family?"

"Gu remembers that the king's mother was from the Mo family?" Gu Minglan asked at the right time.

There was sharpness in Sha Yangren's eyes, he clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "My son and General Yu sang and sang together, there really is a tacit understanding."

Yun Luan and Gu Minglan looked at each other, and then neither remained silent.Seeing that the two were speechless, Sha Yangren continued: "My son said that the whole world is the land of kings. If there are two kings, three kings or many kings in this world, then wouldn't the whole world have to be divided into multiple parts?"

"Your Majesty is joking, at least this Beimo still belongs to Your Majesty." Yunluan said calmly to Sha Yangren's wolf-like eyes without avoiding the sharpness of Sha Yangren's words.

"At least Bei Mo?" Sha Yangren repeated, suddenly stood up from the throne, walked to Yun Luan's side, condescendingly looked down at Shi Le Shizi who was kneeling on the blanket, "This 'at least' can make lonely heart tremble with fear. ah."

Yunluan knelt up straight, stretched his hands on the ground, then stuck his whole body on the ground, and bowed to Sha Yangren: "In the troubled times of Zuzhou, no country is at risk. If Beimo deviates from the troubled times, the war can last for a thousand years. At least It will not be like any other country in Zuzhou."

"Any country in Zuzhou, including Shile?" Sha Yangren looked down at Yunluan and asked.

"Shile has been established for 3000 years, so of course Shile is included." It was not Yun Luan who spoke back, but Gu Minglan who was sitting on the other side, pouring fine wine into his silver bowl.

Sha Yangren turned his head to look at the casual person opposite, and asked: "General Yu is so sure?"

Gu Minglan put down the jug in her hand, looked at Sha Yangren suspiciously: "Your Majesty thinks what Gu said is wrong?"

Sha Yangren turned his head slowly, still looking disdainfully at the person buried at his feet, only Gu Minglan's sound of drinking was left in the red palace, and there was no other sound.

After a long time, Sha Yangren sneered, turned around and walked back to his throne, holding the armrest of the throne tightly with his knuckle palm, Sha Yangren said: "Gu really dare not let you go."

Yun Luan, who was lying on the ground, straightened up, straightened her wrinkled clothes, and smiled faintly at Sha Yangren: "If you are a king, you keep your promises. Your Majesty will not want to break his promise."

Sha Yangren raised his brows high, pointed his fingers on the armrest of the throne, and said with a half-smile: "Gu will do what you wish."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Luan bowed down and bowed again.

Gu Minglan, who was sitting across from him, picked up the silver bowl full of fine wine and took a shallow sip. A wish-fulfilling smile flashed across his mouth with the rim of the bowl in his mouth.

Early the next morning, Sha Yangren sent his servants to call Yunluan and Gu Minglan, saying that he wanted to invite them to hunt together.Since it was Sha Yangren's invitation, Yun Luan and Gu Minglan couldn't shirk it, and they picked two North Desert horses from the horse ranch behind Chigong, and followed Sha Yangren to the grassland.

The fundraising meeting of the Beimo royal family is usually held in autumn, and now the early summer has just passed, and the prey has been hiding early, so what Sha Yangren said about the fundraising meeting is just an excuse.Yun Luan and Gu Minglan tacitly agreed, holding the whip in their hands, they rode the horses and walked on the grassland behind Chi Lufei, who was shaking his blade.

After walking for about half an hour, Sha Yangren reined in the horse's reins, pointed to the hills in the distance with his fingers holding the whip, and said, "The sun is also strong, but the hills are shaded and cool. Why don't you go there and have a rest?"

Yun Luan glanced at the hill curiously. The road that Sha Yangren took today was different from the one he took when he hunted chips in the past. Luan immediately understood what Sha Yangren meant.There must be something behind the hill.

Gu Minglan seemed to have seen Sha Yangren's arrangement long ago, nodded and said, "That's fine."

Sha Yangren waved to the guards who were following him, telling them to retreat, and he led Yun Luan and Gu Minglan to the hill by himself.

After a while, the three of them drove their horses up to the hill. In the grass growing past the horse's knees, there was a man in a black blouse with his hair tied up, with his back on his back, as if he was looking at the hills. scenery.Gu Minglan was startled when he saw the man's back. The figure of the man was too familiar. He knew that the man was not the one he thought in his heart.

The man seemed to have heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, and turned around. He clenched his fist with his right hand and pressed it against his heart.

"Mo Lianzhi pays homage to the king." Mo Lianzhi said.

Sha Yangren approached Mo Lianzhi, raised his hand up to Mo Lianzhi, and made Mo Lianzhi stand up: "This is not the Red Palace, these complicated etiquette can be avoided if you can."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mo Lianzhi straightened up, but his eyes fell on Gu Minglan who was standing behind Sha Yangren.

Sha Yangren glanced at Mo Lianzhi, pointed at Yunluan and said, "This is Shile Prince, Yunluan. And this..." Sha Yangren turned his fingers to Gu Minglan, with a serious expression on his face. A meaningful smile, "Master Mo must have seen General Gu Minglan of Shi Le Yu."

Mo Lianzhi nodded to Yunluan as a salute, then fixed his eyes on Gu Minglan, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a ambiguous smile, "Your Majesty's eyes, the imperial general is handsome and handsome, unforgettable at first sight."

"Oh?" Sha Yangren glanced at Gu Minglan with great interest, and saw that the originally sloppy person suddenly tightened his face, and couldn't help laughing: "Looking at General Yu's face, maybe he ate something at Mr. Mo's house?" Is it a loss?"

Mo Lianzhi hastily waved his hands: "Your Majesty, you are joking. The Mo family has always bought and sold openly in business. It is fair and reasonable, and there is no secret." He deliberately emphasized the word "fair and reasonable", and the face of the opposite person became even more unhappy.

Sha Yangren put on a straight face on purpose and teased: "Dang Mo will be wrong."

"Lianzhi is terrified, please ask the king for advice." Mo Lianzhi also put away his joking expression, and saluted Sha Yangren in fear.

But Sha Yangren only smiled, and helped Mo Lianzhi up: "Gu Ye just made a random guess, I heard that General Yu took a fancy to a statue of a mother in Lianzhi's shop, Lianzhi offered a price, and Gu Ye took the place of Yu Lianzhi. If the general buys it, it can be regarded as a gift to the general Yu alone, so Lianzhi is willing to part with it?"

Mo Lianzhi worshiped again: "It turns out that it is the statue of the respected mother. If the general Yu likes it, you can take it away from Lianzhi's shop." Mo Lianzhi smiled at Gu Minglan, and then said, "Lianzhi Excuse me, I don't know which one the General Yu is looking for, can I ask the General Yu and Lianzhi to go to the shop to get it?"

Seeing Sha Yangren's expression when he was talking with Mo Lianzhi, Gu Minglan could tell that Sha Yangren and Mo Lianzhi had a very close relationship. The identity of Hanhai King.What the two of them did today was probably intended to show themselves and Yunluan. The relationship between Beimo's Mo family and the Beimo royal family is unbreakable. If Shi Le makes Beimo's idea in the future, Mo's will definitely stand in Beimo's favor. this side.Gu Minglan chuckled hoarsely, the conditions discussed with Mo Lianzhi yesterday were irresistible, and with the addition of Mo Lianzhi's last additional condition, Gu Minglan only felt that Mo Lianzhi's methods were much despicable.

"General Yu has any scruples?" Seeing that Gu Minglan did not respond, Mo Lianzhi raised his voice and asked.

Gu Minglan recovered and said: "Mr. Mo's invitation, Gu will not shirk it. It's just that Gu is a subject, and the son is the king. If the king doesn't allow it, the minister can't decide on his own."

"Master Mo has good intentions, and it would be unreasonable for Yunluan to stop him." Yunluan, who had been standing silently by the side, had already seen Mo Lianzhi and Sha Yangren's intentions clearly, and said with a smile , "General Yu can do whatever he wants these few days." Sha Yangren would never let himself leave Beimo so easily, Yunluan understood Sha Yangren's temperament, and deliberately retreated to advance.

"Thank you, my son." Gu Minglan bowed his head in salute, and when he raised his head, he saw a triumphant smile in the shadowy eyes of the person who was looking at her from the opposite side.

Yunluan and Sha Yangren continued to rest on the hill, while Gu Minglan followed Mo Lianzhi to drive along a small road.The two of them had nothing to say along the way, only the sound of horseshoes one after another.

After an unknown amount of time, the person walking in front suddenly reined in the horse, turned the horse's head and approached Gu Minglan.Gu Minglan raised her eyebrows slightly, even though this person looked exactly like Mo Jingzhi, her mind was much darker, Gu Minglan could not help but strengthen her guard.

The expression on Gu Minglan's face was immediately seen clearly by Mo Lianzhi. He curled the corner of his mouth evilly, put his right foot on the stirrup, and jumped onto the horse Gu Minglan was riding.Gu Minglan frowned even deeper, and was about to raise her hand to wave the person down, but Mo Lianzhi clasped her hands firmly.

"Won't General Yu show some sincerity?" Mo Lianzhi chuckled in Gu Minglan's ear.

Gu Minglan sneered: "I never thought that Mr. Mo's martial arts is outstanding, and it would be a pity not to become an official."

"People who are lazy and greedy don't have such big ambitions."

"May I ask what Mo's ambition is?" Gu Minglan saw that he couldn't get rid of Mo Lianzhi, so he didn't bother to struggle anymore, and let Mo Lianzhi breathe into his ear.

Mo Lianzhi smiled and said, "Do some business, join hands with the one you love, just like now."

"What's so good about Gu." Gu Minglan was telling the truth. He and Mo Lianzhi just met yesterday, and the enthusiasm that Mo Lianzhi released made Gu Minglan feel inexplicable.

"What virtue and ability?" Mo Lianzhi repeated a sentence playfully, and then said, "How can you be so loved by Mo Jingzhi that you don't even want your life?"

Gu Minglan was startled suddenly, and stared sideways at Mo Lianzhi, seeing Mo Lianzhi's scrutinizing and playful eyes, Gu Minglan suddenly understood why Mo Lianzhi provoked her. "Are you here to defend him?" Gu Minglan sneered.

"Well, after all, he is part of my Mo clan," Mo Lianzhi nodded, and said, "I also want to make it clear that the majestic Marquis Jinglie, who is as cunning as a fox, would risk his life for one person." No. Where are you worthy of the best people from my Mo family to die for you?"

Hearing the word "death", Gu Minglan tightened his face, and clenched his hands involuntarily.He has been avoiding some things, unwilling to face up to some things, but the people he loved are not erased just because they want to.

"Marquis Jinglie died in battle in Beiyang County." Gu Minglan said in a low voice, but she couldn't even convince herself.

"Heh..." Mo Lianzhi laughed like a thorn in Gu Minglan's heart.

"People who fall in love with you are fools." Mo Lianzhi let go of Gu Minglan, jumped to his horse, and took a few steps forward with the horse, putting some distance away from Gu Minglan.

Gu Minglan looked at the straight back of the person not far away, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, sitting on the towering wall of Licheng, Mo Jingzhi said to him: "If you and I conquer the world, I will ride a horse and walk beside you. Ahead, open a smooth road for you." The person who said he would open the way died three years ago, and now another person is walking in front of him.
