Broken Iron Clothes

=====================

Gu Nanxing carried the altar of wine, led the people into the pavilion, and sat down leaning against the beauty with one leg propped up.

"The person you asked me to look for last time can only find some traces of him in Ningzhou 12 years ago. At that time, he hadn't changed his name and surname. He was also called Lu Xiu, but no matter how recent he was, he couldn't be found."

Yuan Mucheng calmly lifted his robe and sat at the stone table, and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Deputy Owner."

Gu Nanxing laughed: "The general is really polite, he told me to fuck off yesterday, but today he is unfamiliar."

"Anyway, it's a business that I spent money on, so I have to put it in a better way. Now that the business is done, I'll be gone," Yuan Mucheng said. Since you and him are considered to be in the same family, and he is two years older, then I, Yuan Xiao'an, will naturally recognize you as a good brother, right Lao Gu."

Gu Nanxing raised his head and was pouring wine into his mouth when he was suddenly choked by these words and almost spit out a mouthful of wine.In embarrassment, he glanced at Yuan Mucheng, saw that the man frowned slightly, looking straight at him, raised his hand and coughed and said two words: "I'm laughing."

After waiting for a while, Gu Nanxing cleared his throat and said, "I haven't opened my mouth yet, but you get acquainted quickly. Let me ask you first, do you know everything about Huaichuan?"

"The young master of Wei Xu's palace, the nine princes of the late emperor, are you talking about these?"

Yuan Mucheng hasn't changed his clothes since he took a bath yesterday, he only put on a toga over his middle coat, which looks a little lazy but has a certain flair, at this moment he is talking, with one hand resting on the edge of the table, but his back is still straight .

Gu Nanxing held the wine jar in one hand, looked at Yuan Mucheng a few times, and had to admit that his appearance was really outstanding.

No wonder he was able to abduct Jiang Shiqing.Gu Nanxing said silently in his heart.

After all, he hadn't seen Jiang Shiqing have any desire in the past few years, and he thought that this man would be destined to become a monk in the future.

"That's right, I even know about the Ninth Prince. I thought I knew more than you, and I hoped to use this to threaten you to bend down and give in to me." Gu Nanxing said.

"The dark guard went to Yuzhou nine years ago, and I only knew that Lu Xianfeng was the Ninth Prince's business, but I didn't expect that there were two royal bloodlines in Yemen Village," Yuan Mucheng got up, and turned towards Gu Nanxing. Walking sideways, "I just don't know the origin of you, Vice-Master Gu, who is as famous as Huaichuan. Since you want to talk about something famous today, why don't you talk about it?"

Gu Nanxing narrowed his eyes a little, and sneered: "If I dare to chat with you, I've blackmailed myself once, right?"

Yuan Mucheng took the wine jar from his hand with a smile, poured a large gulp into his mouth proudly, and said, "A respectful sip is my sincerity."

Gu Nanxing stretched out his hand to snatch the jar back, and said, "Drink less, it will make sense, otherwise your body injury will not heal, and I will be scolded again."

Yuan Mucheng leaned against the pillar with folded arms, and said with a smile: "I'm used to being rough. I can't get out of this little injury after drinking a few sips of wine. In the past, I was so hurt that I couldn't sleep. I like to drink wine to make myself confused. Anyway, when I wake up If you come, you will be scolded."

"Hey, it's a pity that we two can't become brothers, just because of your stinky habit of drinking after being injured, I have to answer the 'Old Gu' no matter what," Gu Nanxing raised the altar at him, "A sip in return."

Gu Nanxing swallowed a few mouthfuls, wiped his mouth, and said, "Speaking of which, I have treated Huaichuan as a brother these years, and I called you out today just to see your half It came out on the road and picked up a big bargain, is it worth entrusting?"

"From now on, Huai Chuan will only be happy when I'm by my side." Yuan Mucheng looked calm, as indifferent as he was talking about an ordinary matter.

Gu Nanxing also stopped his wanderlust, and became more serious: "Okay, this sounds very pleasant, so I will also be happy and confess directly. Gu Qinghe, the leader of the dark guard, have you heard of it?"

"I heard."

"Ashamed, that's my father."

Gu Nanxing hooked the mouth of the altar with two fingers, shook the wine jar once and for all, and then said: "My original name is Gu Nanxing, 11 years ago, because the identity of the secret guard was made public, my father had the foresight to worry that the secret guard would become a target of public criticism. , so I sent my mother and I to Yingzhou, and then Yingzhou was massacred by big people, and my mother died tragically. I met Mr. Lin Meng and Huaichuan, and today I am here. I work under Yemenzhuang, but as for whether they recognize Gu Nanxing or Gu Nanxing, I don't know."

When he was in Yancheng, Gu Qinghe never told his family about the affairs of the officialdom, and because of the special status of the secret guard, he would not introduce his subordinates to his wife and children, so Gu Nanxing could not confirm, Zhongqiu Do they know his real identity.

"The leader of the valley was wronged back then, and he has not been able to redress his wrongdoing. If the case is to be overturned, it must be investigated from the case of the prince's fall into the river. However, the missing horse herders back then have no trace," Yuan Mucheng said, "Do you have any?" Have you found any other clues?"

Gu Nanxing sighed and said with a smile: "In such a big world, it is not easy to find five people who deliberately hide. Besides, after more than 11 years, the dead body can be turned into a pile of bones, and the dirt dogs on the street can catch up with reincarnation with this skill." Reincarnated, the clues have all been dusted, and I don’t know how many years they have been buried in the ground.”

"Then what are your plans?" Yuan Mucheng reached out and patted Gu Nanxing's knee, motioning him to give up his seat.

Only then did Gu Nanxing put down his raised leg, sat upright, and said, "Let's talk about it after the Huaichuan matter is over. After all, some people can't die now."

Yuan Mucheng didn't pay much attention, so he sat down on the spot that Gu Nanxing had stepped on, and said, "So, you already know who framed Chief Gu?"

"I can't live in vain for the nine years I picked up. If I can't even tell who my enemy is, I won't sit in the seat of the owner." Gu Nanxing raised his head and drank a few times, shaking his head. Shaking the wine jar, he weighed the remaining wine in it, and suddenly laughed.

"However, sometimes when I think about it, I feel that God's will tricks people. I just took the revenge of killing my mother, and I happened to meet Huaichuan who also hated Da Mi and the Feng family. When I have the spare energy to take care of the revenge of killing my father , and learned that the owner of the villa is the former prince who was framed by the Yan family," Gu Nanxing leaned back and rested his elbows on the backrest, "Oh, you can form a faction even if you want to avenge yourself, what do you think? Those two groups are so hated."

Yuan Mucheng touched the back of the man's drooping hand with his elbow, and asked, "Do you think your landlord has the intention of revenge?"

Gu Nanxing shook his head: "I don't understand what he's thinking, he asked Huaichuan to move to Yancheng to be an alliance with you, maybe he wanted Huaichuan to take this opportunity to investigate the case of Wei Ningzhan, and then connect with Sand Snake We will overthrow the Feng family together, but there is one thing that I really can't figure out."

With that said, Gu Nanxing turned around slightly, faced Yuan Mucheng's side, and continued, "Just now you said that you learned about Huai Chuan's life experience from the dark guard, so I'm also curious. The dark guard has been by his side for many years. Since he Knowing Huai Chuan's original name and surname, how could he not know that Huai Chuan is related to him by blood, but why he didn't say it at the time, and chose to let Huai Chuan know the truth in the next year."

Yuan Mucheng frowned slightly, and said, "You didn't know Huaichuan's background before?"

"To tell you the truth, Cigu is the palace maid my father rescued. I brought her to Jiang's mansion only a few years later. It was around that time that we found out about the Ninth Prince."

"So you suspect that he deliberately arranged everything, the purpose is to let Huai Chuan know the truth at this juncture," Yuan Mucheng turned to look at him, and asked, "But what can we do after knowing the truth?"

This is what Gu Nanxing was puzzled about, because after Jiang Shiqing knew his identity, except for Jiang Yu's departure from the city, nothing changed.

"Coincidentally, I also want to ask," Gu Nanxing raised his eyebrows at him, and said, "If that's the case, what is he thinking?"

Yuan Mucheng thought for a while and said: "As far as I know about your owner, after he was framed by the Yan family and Song Bing back then, it is true that he harbored resentment over this matter, but he also cared about Da Li's safety just like my father. Between family and country and personal enmity, the former must be considered first, so it is probably the same as you, wanting to overthrow the Feng family, and then settle accounts with the Yan family and others. But even if Huai Chuan knows that he is the Ninth Prince, with the kindness of the Wei Xu Palace , and he will not let Wei Ningzhan's case go unnoticed, so there is no need for your owner to hide his background from Huai Chuan."

Liu Zhaoye has always been known for his virtuous virtues, and his dealings with Yuan Haoxun these years are all state affairs, but this person is indeed tolerant enough. After being persecuted, he can not only give up the throne, but also settle down for many years.But even if Yuan Mucheng agreed with Liu Zhaoye's character, he still felt that that person's thoughts on Jiang Shiqing were not simple.

While Yuan Mucheng was contemplating, Gu Nanxing had already drank the wine jar to the bottom, he put the jar down, turned his head and put it on Yuan Mucheng's shoulder, and said, "Don't think about it, no one is in anyone's heart. It hurts to think about it too much. Recently, the owner of the villa seems to have taken action. The hidden stakes buried in Qinzhou have been taken back by him. I don’t know what he wants to do. Let me find a chance to find out, maybe I can guess something about him thoughts."

Seeing that Gu Nanxing was so concerned about Jiang Shiqing's affairs, Yuan Mucheng's expression moved slightly, and the jealous energy came up again.

"What are you thinking?" Yuan Mucheng asked.

"Don't think too much, I owe Huai Chuan my life, so I don't want to see him being bullied," Gu Nanxing casually picked up the empty wine jar, stuffed it into Yuan Mucheng's arms, and said with a smile, "I know that Meiyu has no time, but I can only Can be held in someone's arms."

"Hold it well, cover your heart." Gu Nanxing tapped on the altar with his knuckles, turned his head and walked away with a smile on his face.

There was no sound in the pavilion, and Yi Qinchen passed by the corner of the corridor not far away.He didn't bring a blind stick, so when he walked to another corner, he had to reach out and touch the wall to find out the direction.

Just as the cold touch of the wall reached his fingertips, he suddenly felt a slight chill in his ears, and a gust of palm wind swept over him. He ducked down to dodge, and then turned around and turned over.Just now he stood firm, another palm came across his face, but when it came in front of him, he changed direction and swung straight at his shoulder.

Yi Qinchen took a slap and took two steps back before gaining a foothold. At the same time, a solid chest pressed against his back.

The man had blocked behind him at some point, and very quickly stretched out a hand from his waist, grasped his right wrist, and then took his arm around his neck to his left shoulder, with a The embracing gesture locked him.

"How long have you been listening?" Gu Nanxing asked.

Yi Qinchen knew that it was Gu Nanxing who came, so he didn't intend to fight him at first, and every move he made was only defensive but not offensive.Now being caught straight by Gu Nanxing, he didn't intend to hide anymore, and said bluntly: "From the beginning to the end, not a single word."

After each of them was silent for a while, Yi Qinchen felt that the man's hands that locked him were gradually loosening, but before he had time to react, he was grabbed by the shoulder by Gu Nanxing and pressed against the wall.

Gu Nanxing propped himself up with one hand and covered the person in front of him, his eyes were dark, and there was no smile on his face.

He said: "At this time, you don't hide it anymore. It was interesting to play me like a monkey a few days ago?"

Being pressed against the wall, Yi Qinchen didn't resist at all, and didn't show any joy or anger on his face, just kept silent.Gu Nanxing could neither detect words nor look, even if he wanted to see what was going on in his eyes, he could only do so through the white blindfold.

"I left without saying anything." Gu Nanxing said.

Yi Qinchen still didn't respond.

The more cold the person in front of him was, the more anxious Gu Nanxing became, and his patience was exhausted bit by bit.

They have languished in temptation for far too long.

But in the end, what he waited for was still a moment of silence.

Gu Nanxing didn't wait any longer, he stepped back half a step in disappointment, and didn't look at that person again.

"Vice Master Gu." Yi Qinchen grabbed his arm.

It was the first time I heard Yi Qinchen call himself this, and Gu Nanxing's joyful heart suddenly emptied. He smiled bitterly and said, "You're welcome."

Yi Qinchen heard his loss, and squeezed his arm even tighter.

Gu Nanxing raised the arm that was being held by him, and asked, "What are you?"

"I have something to say."

Hearing this, Gu Nanxing looked at him silently, waiting for him to speak.

Yi Qinchen paused, and said, "My real name is Yi Qinchen. When I was young, I had the honor to worship the former leader of the dark guard, Gu Qinghe, as my teacher. Three years ago, I was personally selected by the current emperor Liu Zhaoyu as the new leader of the dark guard, and I obeyed the emperor's orders."

"What do you mean by telling me this?"

"Confession," Yi Qinchen said, "Since you don't ask, then I will tell."
