ecstasy

Gu Tingshuang didn't sleep all night, and went to the study in a rare way, asking someone to bring a pen and paper.

Gourd was standing by the side grinding ink for him, and he couldn't see what Gu Tingshuang was writing under the lamp, but when he was changing Gu Tingshuang's tea, he said as if thinking of something: "Young Master, it's the same when writing memorials, sir. I ran over in the cold weather. I wrote for most of the night."

Gu Tingshuang buried his head in writing, and asked: "Is it yesterday? He lied to me before that he didn't write it. It seems that he has already written it. Did you write the job report for the Immortal Emperor for my father?"

Calabash said: "I don't understand this, Your Highness. It's just that what happened yesterday is true. The young master finished writing it at that time, and then came back to modify a few words, and then sent it to the blue bird, probably not cheating His Highness." .”

Gu Tingshuang didn't say a word, and asked someone to take over the letters Ning Shiting showed him last time, the letters and other job transfer records from Qing Palace's contact with Wang Cheng in the past few years. Zhou Tuzhi, read every continent and all the cities under the continent, and wrote the name and faction of the person in charge on it.

He went back to Xiangge to sleep after working in the middle of the night, and only told Hulu to remember to send his marked Xizhou Tuzhi to Ning Shiting.

Gourd waited for him to go to bed, and prepared evening snacks for the three "Master Wolf" Xiaolang, Yueya and Yinbian.It's just uncharacteristically, today only the little wolf ran over with its tail up and slapped and ate a lot, and the crescent moon and silver edge didn't appear, and they didn't find it even after searching around in the Hundred Beasts Garden.

What the White Wolf of Lingshan does does not allow anyone to speculate, Hulu thought to himself: "I'm tired of staying in the mansion these days, so I probably went back to the mountain."

He rolled up Gu Tingshuang's map scroll, muttering to himself as he tidied it up. He couldn't understand what the master drew on the map. The patterns were extremely complicated, and the lines were entangled and almost covered the original map marks. Formed words and paintings.

When sending it there, I happened to see Ning Shiting rubbing his eyes and getting up with his clothes on, and ordered his servants to prepare the washing utensils.

Hulu was a little surprised: "Young master only slept for less than two hours, so you're going to get up now?"

Ning Shiting said: "I was used to going to bed before the cock crows, but now I'm not used to going to bed early, I can't sleep, so come out for a walk."

Hulu presented Gu Tingshuang's scroll: "That's just right, Your Highness just went to sleep, and asked me to give this thing to the young master."

Ning Shiting was surprised for a moment: "Isn't drinking ice going to practice kung fu?"

Hulu scratched his head: "But His Highness spent the whole night in the study. Before that, he went to the Shizi Mansion for a while, but no one followed him. Then he came back and stayed in the study to write."

Ning Shiting picked up a piece of clothing and put it on his body. When he touched it with his fingertips, he felt a warm, gentle and delicate touch, only to realize that it was the cloak that Gu Tingshuang tied for him last night.

The young man's earnest gaze, warm breath, and the condensed frost on his shoulders all seem to appear in front of his eyes.

When the lights came on, Ning Shiting leaned over the table and unfolded the picture scroll. The complex and fine lines appeared in front of his eyes. The brushstrokes of red, ochre, and ink were intricate and entangled.

After contemplating it for a while, he casually poured a cup of cold tea on the table that he hadn't had time to replace on the scroll!

The tea was poured down, and it was all absorbed by the scroll.Before the gourd next to him had time to be surprised, he saw layered and three-dimensional shadows suddenly appearing on the scroll, and each vein was built on the lines drawn by Gu Tingshuang.

On the picture scroll of mountains and rivers, the city stood up, the flames filled the sky, and the sky and the earth were divided into three parts by three colors. At this moment, an unusual ray of gold appeared.The pale golden veins run through the entire picture like a sharp blade, starting from Xizhou City and Prince Qing's Mansion, spreading to the edge of the city, covering and replacing the original black color, and becoming a burning thin fire.

Afterwards, the golden flame rose and spread, gradually becoming a prairie fire, annexing the ink color, tearing the ocher red, and finally forcing Zhenghong to a point in the middle.The miscellaneous lines on the scroll are rapidly fading away, and the last remaining shape is gradually clear, which is exactly the word "Emperor".

Gourd's hand trembled, and the tray he was holding almost slipped down with a bang.

After looking at it for a while, Ning Shiting stretched out his hand to put away the scroll: "You don't have to be surprised. This scroll is a special Jiangshan scroll. It is a magic weapon used by the children of rich families in Jiuzhou to learn strategies and cultural relics since childhood. It melts when it meets water, which is complicated and difficult. Now The aura has faded, and many people's roots are not even able to open this magic weapon. There are very few people who can use Jiangshan Juan so proficiently. I used this thing when I was in Dongzhou, as a North Sea shark. Only then can it be opened, but it cannot be as pure as His Highness."

Hulu: "..." Such a big character "Emperor" is still there, what surprised him is not this at all, okay?

He felt more and more numb in his scalp: "Your Highness wants to..."

Ning Shiting glanced at him and said with a low smile, "As you can see."

Gu Tingshuang didn't sleep in Xiangge tonight, he went back to his son's mansion.

Although the building in this place had not been repaired due to the heavy snow, he still returned to his dark and dilapidated room.

A night without dreams.

When he woke up the next morning, he went out with his wheelchair and looked up at the direction of Lingshan in the backyard.

Lingshan was very peaceful today, and there was something strange in the tranquility. Although he didn't see it, the instinct brought by his spiritual sense told him that the pack of wolves was still discussing countermeasures.

After a while, Lingjiao ran over tremblingly and told him: "Your Highness, Your Highness, some wolves came here today and took away the little wolf. Is that what you mean, Your Highness?"

The little wolf was burying his head in eating, but suddenly he was caught by the neck. Before he could swallow a bite of meat, the little wolf struggled and howled and refused to leave, but Ning Shiting was not there, and Gu Tingshuang was also asleep. No one dares to control.Just like that, the little wolf was carried back to Lingshan crying.

"It's not what I meant, let them go." Gu Tingshuang asked, "Is Ning Shiting awake?"

Only then did Lingjiao calm down a little, and told him: "I woke up early in the morning and said that I would wait for His Highness to go out for a walk together."

The weather is fine today, and the sun is rarely bright, making people feel lazy and warm from the sun.

As soon as Gu Tingshuang went out, he saw Ning Shiting standing not far from Shizi's residence, looking up at a plum blossom tree.The abnormal season caused all the plum blossoms in the Wangfu to bloom ahead of time, and then withered one after another at this time. At this time, the branches were bare without any trace of fragrance.

But Ning Shiting was so engrossed that Gu Tingshuang stopped in his tracks.

Gu Tingshuang remembered that before he woke up this time, he seemed to have a memory of what he thought was a wintersweet tree, but he couldn't remember any more.The one Ning Shiting is standing near to now is not the one he fainted at the bottom.

Everything that happened that day was like a dream suddenly inserted into life, the snow demon, Lamei and the spiritual power that suddenly supported him to stand up, and then disappeared in the depths of his mind, silently.

"What are you looking at?" Gu Tingshuang asked.

Seeing him approaching, Ning Shiting looked away and replied, "I'm looking at the wintersweet tree."

"Winter plum tree?"

"Well, I don't know why, but I suddenly like it very much recently." Ning Shiting said, "It seems that when I was dreaming, I dreamed that there was a beautiful wintersweet tree planted in the palace, but unfortunately I didn't find out which one it was."

Gu Tingshuang also looked up.Ning Shiting said: "Your Highness, let me walk with you."

He was dressed in white for the last time today, and when he looked over suddenly, he looked like he was made of snow, his silver-white hair was partly tied and tied behind his head, and he was energetic and beautiful.

The two are walking in the garden.Gu Tingshuang controlled the direction of the wheelchair with his left hand, while Ning Shiting stood beside him and gently pushed him with his left hand.

Gu Tingshuang likes this feeling. He doesn't like others pushing a wheelchair and walking behind him, and he doesn't like people around him walking too fast, making it difficult for him to keep up.As soon as he raised his eyes, he could see Ning Shiting's profile.

"I have read His Highness's Jiangshan scroll." Ning Shiting said.

"How?" Gu Tingshuang stared into his eyes.

Ning Shiting lowered his head and smiled: "It's His Highness's style." It was exactly the same as in the previous life, starting from Xizhou, it expanded rapidly like a raging fire, and finally approached the royal city.His mind is so simple and direct.When you encounter obstacles, you will fight, and you will be invincible.

When Gu Tingshuang reached the seventh level of spiritual awareness, not only the White Wolf God Clan, but all spiritual things in the world will be used by him.But correspondingly, he doesn't know how to balance, and the follow-up is difficult to sustain.It is also foreseeable to suffer.

"What's my style?" Gu Tingshuang asked again.

Ning Shiting said: "It's as straightforward as His Highness, but I have a better idea. I said that I will pave the way for Your Highness in the future. In the future, I will leave it to you to weigh, Your Highness, you can choose by yourself. Such as recruiting talents, cultivating confidantes, relations between the DPRK and China... let Ting do things that His Highness doesn't like."

In her previous life, if Gu Tingshuang had been able to open up contacts in court earlier, perhaps Gu Feiyin would not be able to linger on like that.The reason is actually very simple, Gu Tingshuang's influence has not infiltrated into the court, and because of this reason, his early road is very bumpy, isolated and helpless.

Gu Tingshuang said: "I know what you are worried about, but I just need to break in, kill all the people inside, and replace them with mine, wouldn't that be all right?"

Ning Shiting tilted his head: "Instead of leaving a bad name, Your Highness, why don't you leave these things to me. I... Although I haven't made any achievements in this regard, please trust my minister's experience. The matter of Baili Hongzhou has already Let me be vigilant, and I will analyze the situation more carefully in the future, so as to make suggestions to Your Highness."

Although this life is different from the previous life in every way, the direction of the court will not change greatly.This life cleared the fog for him, and slowly unraveled the plausible problems of the previous life, and threw them in front of him, such as Tingshu's death and Gu Tingshuang's rebellion.

The part of him that he wanted to be safe and sheltered just happened to require him to retrace the path of his previous life.

But this time maybe... there could be a different ending, right?

Ning Shiting half supported Gu Tingshuang's wheelchair, walked out of the courtyard with him, walked through the long apricot blossom corridor in front of the lobby, and stopped in front of the mansion gate.

"If I'm right, the blue bird is coming soon." Ning Shiting said, "Today I invite Your Highness to come to this place, and I hope His Highness will forgive you for making such an arbitrary claim and want to give you something."

"What?" Gu Tingshuang asked.

At this time, the cry of blue birds suddenly appeared in the sky, and a whole row of golden blue birds appeared above the clouds.Seeing the faint smile in Ning Shiting's eyes, Gu Tingshuang knew that this was probably what he was talking about now.

"Did you ask for any reward for me when you were helping my father report on the work?" Gu Tingshuang quickly responded.The blue birds landed slowly in front of them, forming a long line.

If the blue bird sends a message, but no messenger comes, they don't need to kneel down, they just need to bow their heads.

"But I don't like rewards. Now it's all done in the world. I don't like rewarding gold, silver and jewelry." Gu Tingshuang lowered her voice.

Ning Shiting also lowered his voice: "Your Highness, wait a moment."

Gu Tingshuang kept his mouth shut and waited quietly.

The blue bird slowly entered the mansion like flowing water, a large piece of broken gold circled in the sky, the first blue bird landed and revealed what it brought, and the one behind just folded its wings and landed slowly.

Hengshan Jade, Xingyuan Grass, Luoshuiwu... Most of the things sent are elixir and spirit stones that are difficult to collect now, but these things are not unusual for the palace.

The only thing that surprised Gu Tingshuang was the box containing these things.All prince-grade fairy boxes in Xianzhou are made of Jiyuan red sandalwood. The higher the comprehensive grade, the darker the sandalwood color, and pure black is a color that only fairy emperors can use.

This time last time, according to the previous allocation to the Qing Palace, it seemed that the color was a little lighter, which did not match Gu Feiyin's grade.

It seems that there shouldn't be such a mistake in the rewards directly allocated by the Immortal Emperor.What's more, this time Gu Feiyin eliminated the big threat of Baili's family, he made a great contribution, and the reward is not limited to such a small amount.

Until the last blue bird landed, it didn't follow the arrangement of the people in the house to go inside, but stopped in front of the two of them.

"Gu Tingshuang accepts the order." Qingniao said.

"Who do you think will receive the order?" Gu Tingshuang felt for a moment that he had heard it wrong, but Ning Shiting had already stepped forward, nodded and said, "My lord is inconvenient to move, and the minister will receive the order on his behalf. The envoy can read it out now."

"Gu Tingshuang, Prince Qing's son, is fifteen years old. He has made great contributions in protecting the immortals of Xizhou, eliminating snow demons, and punishing treacherous officials. He is indeed a good minister of mine. The future can be expected. Give the title of king, and he can establish his own mansion. The title can be chosen by the minister."

Ning Shiting took the jade book, turned his head and leaned over, showing Gu Tingshuang the titles proposed on it.The site selection for the last blue bird was finished, and Huaqiu and his group welcomed it in, leaving only the two of them.

"I sent three of them, all from the characters of Ling, Lingshou, and the characters of hunting are unknown and hard work. I think it's not good. The rest are the characters of Lingjun and Lingheng. I think His Highness likes it." Ning Shiting looked at it with his head turned. he.

"Please explain to me..." Gu Tingshuang was interrupted by Ning Shiting before he finished speaking.As soon as he raised his head, the shark looked at him with a smile, "How is Lingjun? If you choose the word Heng, His Majesty may be paranoid in the future. Don't make enemies for yourself too early."

In the previous life when Gu Tingshuang left the mansion, the Immortal Emperor thought that he could be used by him, so he was also named king at first, and these three seals were also sent.At that time, Gu Tingshuang chose Ling Jun. He didn't like the word "constant", he said: "Nothing is permanent."

Gu Tingshuang's expression turned slightly ugly, and he whispered, "...Ning Shiting! What's going on here?"

Ning Shiting calmed down, and after a while, he said: "Most of the credit for Dongzhou this time belongs to His Highness. The other half belongs to the minister, and the minister is already His Highness's, so it belongs to His Highness. You deserve the credit. The minister has already reported it to the prince, and the prince also thinks that the credit this time is a hot potato, which will not be disrespected, and it will make His Majesty jealous, so I proposed to the prince to let His Highness be rewarded, and both parties can rest assured."

Gu Tingshuang said: "Because I am a useless person, so my father can rest assured, and I can rest assured that His Majesty rewarded me."

Ning Shiting said in a low voice: "Your Highness should know that this is not the subject's idea. It is the subject's selfishness."

His eyes were clear and clear, with an irresistible earnestness. Although clear, they were also faintly hot and did not dare to look directly at them.

Gu Tingshuang avoided his sight again.

He raised his chin and signaled Ning Shiting to look at the heavy lock on the mansion door.The family text, which looks like a tiger and a dog, hangs on the door with ancient seal cutting, silently telling the ups and downs of the Gu family for thousands of years.

"This thing is the emblem of our family. When I was a child, my mother lied to me that it was a tiger, saying that Gu's son would be even more powerful in the future, but I knew it was a dog, a domestic dog, and it was obedient to people. Gu's There is slavish blood in the blood, and the reason why this family was born is because a certain monarch long ago needed a saddle."

"Names and titles are all means to control people. Calling people's names makes them identify with names; titles are rewards that make people forget themselves. Ning Shiting, you have to know that I won't appreciate all of this." Gu Ting Shuang said, "I don't work hard for that position, because I hate taming people into dogs. My goal is only one, the dust-proof bead, and that position is just incidental, you know."

"I understand, it's just..." Ning Shiting's gaze stayed on the pattern in front of the door, and when he was about to speak, the movement behind him made both of them pause and look back.

The golden back appeared in front of them.There was no one around, he directly transformed into a human form, and came to Gu Tingshuang's side.

This was the first time Ning Shiting saw Jinji's human form, and he couldn't help being a little surprised, but he didn't say anything.It is not uncommon for ancient gods to take human form after cultivating to a certain level.

He knew that Jin Ji might have something to say to Gu Tingshuang, and wanted to get away, but Gu Tingshuang grabbed his wrist: "Don't go."

Ning Shiting stopped moving, but Gu Tingshuang's hand still hadn't let go.

Gu Tingshuang raised his eyebrows and asked Jin Ji: "Have you discussed it?"

"It's been discussed, Wang..." Jin Ji gave him a deep look, then suddenly changed his words, and said respectfully, "Your Highness."

Gu Tingshuang was startled.

"We have demolished the Lingshan Wolf Temple and summoned all the white wolves to live in the Hundred Beasts Garden. From now on, please let us continue to follow His Highness. The white wolf gods have survived for tens of thousands of years and have migrated to countless places. In the future, I can't cling to the place of the deceased White Wolf God King."

Jin Lu said, "We think so, Your Highness. Everything is as you wish, and we will follow it to the death."

There was the sound of wheezing and panting in the distance, and the sound of paws sprinting over.A bunch of fluffy little wolves ran down the hillside of the garden quickly, as if wishing to fly, howling happily while running. If the little wolf can grow into an adult, it must be cheering at this time.

It plunged into Gu Tingshuang's arms, licked his face frantically, ran around him a few times after being thrown off, jumped up and down, and finally ran to Ning Shiting's feet again, Rubbing and hugging him desperately, he must be hugged.He hugged him and licked his clothes vigorously.

Such enthusiasm made both of them a little overwhelmed.Ning Shiting and Gu Tingshuang looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

He roughly guessed what Gu Tingshuang had said to the wolves.

"What did you want to say to me just now?" Gu Tingshuang asked, his hand still clasped his wrist and did not let go.

Thin and soft wrists, as if they could be broken with a light pinch.

Ning Shiting glanced at the coat of arms at the door again, as if he was trying to hold back a smile, but also seemed to hesitate to speak, and finally told him softly after a long time: "Your Highness, that's not a tiger, nor a domestic dog."

"The Gu family is from the Northland, and is not in the same line as His Majesty today. It originated in the land of Shangluo in Beiling, where the Kuimu Sirius star is directly opposite, and it is said that it is also the birthplace of wolves."

"Your Highness, Gu's family crest...is a wolf."
