After the border was stabilized, Zhou Qiyu was ready to set off for Beijing with Gu Zheng. If she didn't take the initiative, the emperor might order someone to arrest her, and it would be bad if the entire Zhou family would be implicated. Her family members are still in Beijing. .

What the emperor said was to help them take care of their families so that they would not have any worries, but in fact they detained their families in Shangjing as bargaining chips. I can't cover my own affairs.

Zhou Qiyu never felt that women were inferior to men, but nowadays people are quite strict with women. If those ministers knew that Zhou Qiyu was a woman, they would probably make a fuss for a while. Thinking of Zhou Qiyu this week, he felt overwhelmed. can't you?

Moreover, Zhou Qiyu was really afraid that the emperor would mess up her mandarin ducks for military power and leave her in Shangjing to marry. But she was a woman after all, and she couldn't pretend to be a man. If she didn't take the initiative to reveal her identity after she went, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Zhou Qiyu couldn't think of a way to ask Gu Zheng for help, "Master Gu, what do you think I should do? It's okay if I stay in Liangzhou, but the emperor suddenly came here. If I expose my daughter, will I be detained directly?" Get married in Shangjing!"

Gu Zheng knew Shen Wangzhi's temperament. Although he was selfish, he was still clear-headed. Otherwise, he would not have been emperor for more than ten years. What Zhou Qiyu should worry about was not Shen Wangzhi, but the ministers in the court, especially For the pedantic group, if they knew that Zhou Qiyu was a woman, they would be in trouble.

It is very likely that Shen Wangzhi will take back Zhou Qiyu's military power in order to silence them, or transfer it to others directly, and it is not difficult to bribe those adults, as long as the right medicine is needed.

So Gu Zheng patted Zhou Qiyu on the shoulder and comforted her: "It's unlikely, you have been in the border for several years, no one knows the situation here better than you, it is impossible for His Majesty to keep you in Shangjing like this."

After speaking, he reminded Zhou Qiyu: "Although it is unlikely that Your Majesty will keep you, the ministers of the court will definitely not let you go so easily, especially those adults who uphold the three cardinal principles and five constant rules, three obedience and four virtues, they will definitely come to you Trouble."

Zhou Qiyu was relieved to hear that Shen Wangzhi wouldn't settle accounts with her, but those troublesome ones were also brats, she couldn't help complaining to Gu Zheng: "Those old pedants who know everything all day long have not learned the essence of Confucius and Lao Tzu." Now, you know how to use some superficial things to call yourself a saint, just like them, how can there be a saint?"

Gu Zheng didn't take Zhou Qiyu's words to heart, he knew that Zhou Qiyu was just complaining, so he couldn't help scaring her and said: "I'll just talk about these things now, when you arrive in Beijing, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, or you will be imprisoned by the imperial censor." One."

Zhou Qiyu didn't take it seriously, instead he followed Gu Zheng's words and continued: "The censor is the same, he doesn't do business, and watches others make mistakes all day long, but they don't watch bad people, they like to watch good people like me."

Seeing that Zhou Qiyu missed the point, Gu Zhengyu reminded her earnestly: "Don't worry about returning to the capital, but now His Royal Highness has been missing for a long time, your return to Beijing may not be a good thing for some people, you have to be careful Just a few."

Before Zhou Qiyu heard people say that Gu Zheng and the prince had a deep relationship, but to be honest, she really didn’t feel it. It was said that a woman’s intuition is very accurate. She felt that the two were not as deep as outsiders said, so she boldly tested Gu Zhengdao. : "Do you think His Royal Highness is alive or dead?"

After she finished speaking, she still wanted to ask: "Do you want him to live?", but she still didn't say this after a lot of tangling, because it was a bit rebellious, and she really couldn't do such a thing, not because she was afraid Talking nonsense was heard by others, but they were afraid of hurting Gu Zheng.

To be honest, Zhou Qiyu found out that Gu Zheng is a real leader during the past few months. He is smart and wise. Working with such smart people.

It's a pity that Gu Zheng is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. I'm afraid there will be no such good opportunity for the two of them to go to the battlefield together. What Zhou Qiyu brings back to Beijing is not only the victory of the battle, but also the third prince of Beidi. Oh, no, it's accurate now It is said that the peace agreement was written by the king of the entire barbarian tribe.

For Gu Zheng's return intact, Shen Xingzhou was completely unexpected. He didn't expect a servant of the Ministry of Punishment to be so difficult to deal with. After sending out waves of people, they all died at the hands of Gu Zheng. It can be seen that this Gu Zheng did not perform like him at all. So simple, yes, how could a truly simple person get to where he is today.

Shen Xingzhou was a little strange, why he didn't pay attention to Gu Zheng all the time, was it because of his face?With a clean and honest appearance for the people, upright and dignified, it seems that there is no more decent official in the court than him.

But is this really the case?The things that Gu Zheng did were not the twists and turns that a decent person could think of. He had to admit that Gu Zheng had a very good reputation among the court and the common people. It was not that he had never thought of wooing Gu Zheng. Let him flinch, unable to say the following words.

Because Shen Xingzhou guessed that with Gu Zheng's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing, but now he realizes that Gu Zheng may not be so upright and simple. Interest and Gu Zheng teamed up, but right now it's impossible.

There is still no news from Shen Xinghe. Shen Xingzhou is worried that he will appear suddenly, and also afraid that he will go to find Gu Zheng, so he has been sending people to monitor Gu Zheng, but nothing has been gained. The attendants around Gu Zheng have been together since childhood. Growing up is not something you can buy with money.

Moreover, Gu Zheng treats those people very well, and their parents also live together and receive Gu Zheng's favor, so it's not easy to do anything like this, but if you think about it carefully, isn't Gu Zheng a kind of gentle threat?He wanted to use those people's parents to threaten them, and didn't Gu Zheng also control their parents and make them work?

Thinking of this, Shen Xingzhou instantly understood a lot of things. Gu Zheng is very smart. He would never use the stupid method of direct threats. Instead, he would find a way to get in touch with the people he wanted to use, and use his kindness to firmly bond those people. Tethered to your side.

As for those who don't even care about kindness, how can they use it with confidence?I have to say that Gu Zheng's move was very clever, and it perfectly solved many things. The more he thought about Shen Xingzhou, the more terrifying he felt. You must know that those people were all cultivated by Gu Zheng at a young age.

It shows that Gu Zheng had this kind of thinking at a young age. He knew how to use people's hearts when he was a child. How could this kind of person fail? For a while, Shen Xingzhou wondered whether Shen Xinghe's disappearance was Gu Zheng's plan. ?Is he plotting a bigger conspiracy.

After thinking it over clearly, Shen Xingzhou felt that he would never let Gu Zheng have a chance to return to Shangjing. He had to take advantage of this journey to Beijing to assassinate Gu Zheng. It was just that he could kill Gu Zheng blatantly before, but now he had to use a low-key approach. He felt that no matter how powerful Gu Zheng was, he couldn't know everything.

When Gu Zheng picked up the water glass, he noticed something strange. In this world, Gu Zheng did not have any systematic training in medicine, he could only treat wounds in a simple way, but he used to have a world where he was a genius doctor. It was tasteless, but he sensed something was wrong.

Gu Zheng immediately put down the water glass in his hand, and thought about Zhou Qiyu's glass beside him. As expected, there was nothing there. It seemed that this was coming for him. Gu Zheng looked at "Jiang Wenye"'s glass again. They were poisoned, but this was not because they knew Shen Xinghe's true identity, but to create confusion.

Just when "Jiang Wenye" ​​was about to pick up the cup, Gu Zheng stopped him in time, "The water is poisonous."

Hearing Gu Zheng say that the water was poisonous, Cheng Yu subconsciously glanced at his water glass. The water was crystal clear and there was nothing unusual. He didn't doubt Gu Zheng, but worried that this poisoning would happen many times in the future.

Zhou Qiyu, who was about to drink water, immediately let go of the cup, not talking about martial arts, who would have thought that someone would dare to attack them at this time, she said with a dark face: "What poison? Who would want to kill us at this time ?”

Gu Zheng gave Zhou Qiyu popular science: "To be precise, they came to kill me. There is no poison in your cup. Only me and 'Jiang Wenye' are on this table. There is poison in the cup. This poison is called rouge, colorless and tasteless. , the poison is extremely strong, but it can kill you on the spot, although the poison is from the frontier, but the person may not be from the frontier."

Shen Xinghe, who was named, was taken aback, and subconsciously swallowed. He didn't know why he always felt that Gu Zheng recognized his identity. Shen Xinghe was not worried that those who poisoned him would know that he was missing in the current dynasty. Prince, because if they knew, they would not use such a gentle method.

They also poisoned themselves together just to create chaos. As for why they didn't poison them all, it was because Zhou Qiyu had just won a battle. If she was injured, I'm afraid they wouldn't explain to the barbarian tribes, and no one wanted to continue fighting.

As for Cheng Yu, the Cheng family behind him is clearly a firm royalist party, but actually a member of the eldest prince's party, who should have been at odds with Gu Zheng, but has followed Gu Zheng since childhood. Gu Zheng thought he was doing it for the sake of Infiltrated into the princeling party to find out information for the eldest prince, only to find out later that he was here for refuge.

Although Cheng Yu has been unable to choose the camp of the Cheng family, he does not have much hope for the eldest prince. In addition, the Cheng family is the largest party of the eldest prince, and Shen Xingzhou dare not do anything to them for a while. The established fate of the Cheng family.

Since they were poisoned, there were naturally people who did it. After a thorough investigation, they only caught the two fire makers of the inn, who were newcomers. To be honest, this kind of little guy didn't mean anything to Gu Zheng, but Dealing with the murder of the imperial court official, he also knows his end.

This group of people is stricter than before, but Gu Zheng is not interested in them, and he doesn't even bother to interrogate them. Cheng Yu did all these things by himself, and the results are expected. No one confessed to their mastermind, Shen Xingzhou. .
