General, he's cheating again

Yesterday, Qin Qingrong and Ye Ru'an went to congratulate Gu Zhen after they met Gu Zhen at the water pavilion.

Both of them had kind smiles on their faces, and Ye Ru'an cupped his hands to Gu Zhen and congratulated him: "I thought Master Gu would be too busy in the East Hall today, so Brother Qingrong and I didn't bother you any more. What a coincidence that I didn't want to meet here.

But now that we have met, we have to congratulate Mr. Gu even if it makes Mr. Gu more tiring.After all, listening to good words is also a good thing.Ye Mou congratulated Master Gu on his triumphant return, and wished Master Gu a bright future and everything goes smoothly. "

"Thank you, Master Ye."

After hearing Ye Ru'an's words, Gu Zhen bowed and turned to look at Qin Qingrong.

He is not familiar with Qin Qingrong and Ye Ru'an, but he knows a little about their personalities.

Ye Ru'an is sophisticated and smooth, and has many friends; although Qin Qingrong has a gentle and kind personality, he is extremely cold and indifferent in his bones.Gu Zhen was a little curious, what would Qin Qingrong, who is so unearthly and refined, say to a playboy like him.

Qin Qingrong's clear peach blossom eyes just stared at Gu Zhen indifferently. Gu Zhen felt as if he had seen through himself in his eyes, and his expression gradually became serious.

Qin Qingrong still had a gentle smile on his face, bowed and said: "Since Mr. Gu is injured, you should pay more attention to rest.

Qin Mou wishes Mr. Gu peace and health, and a long life. "

"Safe and healthy, and live forever." Gu Zhen folded his fan and put it behind his back, raising his eyebrows, thinking that Qin Qingrong is really interesting.

He half-closed his eyes and smiled narrowly, "Well said. Unexpectedly, Mr. Qin not only looks in Gu's heart, but also speaks Gu's heart."

These words were ambiguous, and the smiles on Qin Qingrong and Ye Ruan's faces froze slightly.

Ye Ru'an smoothed things over with a smile, "It turns out that Mr. Gu is a humorous person, and he must be admired by thousands of flowers when he comes to hang out among the flowers."

Gu Zhen looked at Ye Ruan and smiled, but did not respond to Ye Ruan's words.

He turned his eyes back to Qin Qingrong again, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, Gu Zhen said indifferently: "Master Qin, in fact, Gu has always had a question in his heart that he wanted to ask Master Qin." Then his expression became serious, "Because This question has troubled Gu Mou for many years, and Lord Qin must promise that Gu Mou will answer it."

Qin Qingrong frowned slightly, he didn't know what questions Gu Zhen would have about him, so he calmly smiled again, "Master Gu just said, Qin agreed."

Gu Zhen cleared his throat and felt relieved, "It's actually not a big deal."

Seeing the narrow smile on Gu Zhen's mouth slightly like that just now, Qin Qingrong's expression froze, and the smiling muscles on his face couldn't help twitching.

"In recent years, there is a person who has always haunted Gu Mou in his heart. Sometimes when Gu Mou wakes up in the middle of the night and thinks of him, he is even very unbearable because of excessive lovesickness.

And the person Gu said was none other than Mr. Qin.

Ever since meeting Master Qin, Gu has also found it boring to look at the soft fragrance in his arms, thinking that no matter how beautiful those beauties are, they are not as charming as Master Qin's casual smile.

Gu Mou was puzzled, thinking that Mr. Qin would smile at Gu Mou every time he saw Gu Mou, could it be that he deliberately seduced Gu Mou because he knew that he laughed to win Gu Mou's heart and soul? "

Qin Qing described it as petrochemical.

Ye Ru'an didn't expect that Gu Zhen had already mastered the ability of teasing to the point of perfection. He gritted his teeth and cursed that Gu Zhen was really shameless, but on the face he still had to harden his nerve and smooth things over with a smile: "Haha, General Gu, what is this?" Where is it? Brother Qingrong has always been kind, he treats everyone like this, please don't think too much about it, General Gu."

"Master Ye means," Gu Zhen frowned slightly, "is it possible that Master Qin has dabbled a lot, not only wanting to seduce Gu and make Gu sleepless at night for him. Master Qin also wants to seduce So..."

Master Gu!

At this moment, Qin Qingrong thought to himself that it was fortunate that he interrupted Gu Zhen in time yesterday, otherwise he would not have dared to imagine how unbearable what Gu Zhen was going to say next.

"Qing Rong! Qing Rong?"

Ye Ru'an walked to Qin Qingrong's side, and when he saw Gu Zhen was also there, he nodded towards Gu Zhen.

Then he looked at Qin Qingrong and said, "My father knows you didn't bring an umbrella, so let me bring you one."

Qin Qingrong took the umbrella and looked at the umbrella with a slight expression.

In recent years, Uncle Ye's family has treated him and Qin Xiaoxiao as their own family members.These warmths allowed him to recover from the grief of his father's death.

Ye Ru'an held up an umbrella, and there was a bit of helplessness in his delicate brows. He urged: "Master Qin, let's be moved later. On rainy days, the streets are very crowded."

Qin Qingrong regained his composure and looked to the side, only to find that Gu Zhen had gone far away, followed by a shadow-like man in black.

The slender and white hands propped up the umbrella ribs, and Qin Qingrong's figure also disappeared into the crowd.

It was still early at this time, and the potholes on the Qingshiban Road on Junyi Street were full of rainwater, and when the horse-drawn carriage passed by, it rolled over muddy water splashed half a palm high, staining the hem of Gu Zhen's clothes, who was walking slowly on the street .

Gu Zhen found a breakfast shop on the corner of the street, and asked the waiter for two bowls of sweet soy milk and a plate of scallion fried rice rolls, and sat at the wooden table to eat with Leng Ji.

The old wooden tables and stools have faded to a light color. On the square wooden table, there are two steaming bowls of soy milk and a plate of freshly baked flower rolls.

Gu Zhen picked up the soy milk and took a sip, then picked up the flower rolls on the porcelain plate and tore them up to eat.He casually looked at the surrounding street scene, when Xiao Er behind him opened the pot and the mist from the pot drifted to his eyes.

Leng Ji sat across from Gu Zhen, holding a flower roll in his hand and gnawing on it.He still had a cold expression on his face, and his eyes were absorbed in looking at an old candied haws seller not far away who was sheltering from the rain under the eaves.

Leng Ji lowered his eyes, he remembered that when he first entered Gu's house, he hid behind Gu Zhen all day long.

Once, the princess brought back a candied haws for Gu Zhen.When Gu Zhen saw the candied haws, he smeared honey on his mouth and begged the princess with kind words. The princess teased Gu Zhen for a long time and inadvertently saw that Leng Ji was also staring at the candied haws in his hand, and finally divided the candied haws in half. them.The princess would sometimes touch Lengji's head, and tell Gu Qinan with a smile that Lengji, who is so small, is as sensible as an adult, really cute.

Later, a master of rivers and lakes was invited by Gu Qinan to teach Gu Zhen and Leng Ji martial arts. They accidentally discovered that although Leng Ji was blind in his left eye but had amazing hearing, he was actually a martial arts prodigy, so they decided to train Leng Ji well to make him a first-class master.

Although Leng Ji has a cold personality and is taciturn, his heart is warm.Gu Zhen's chivalrous rescue of him, the gentleness and kindness of the princess to him, and the kindness of the prince to him are all remembered in his heart. These memories are like a warm fire that illuminates his whole body.

The two of them returned to Gu's mansion after breakfast on the street and entered the cabinet. Gu Zhen was listlessly half-slumped on the beauty's couch facing the door.The servants inside and outside the house came in and out, changed Gu Zhen into regular clothes, cleaned his hands, served refreshments, and then left the pavilion.

Picking up a book, Gu Zhen casually flipped through it, Yingrui's phoenix eyes were a bit cold, and he opened his thin lips lightly, "The assassin asked you to check it that night, how is it going now?"

The carved ebony wood door of the cabinet was open to the outside, and raindrops dripped intermittently from the eaves in front of the door.On the right side of the cabinet courtyard is a living water fish pond made of marble. The gravel path extending from the courtyard gate to the fish pond branches out to other places on the green shallow grass.

A vigorous dark green plantain is planted in the corner of the courtyard, and Bodhi and hibiscus are planted beside the fish pond in the courtyard.

Leng Ji stood upright by the beauty's side, bowed his head and said: "Return to the general, she was poisoned and died in prison last night."

Yu Bi raised his head to look at Gu Zhen, Leng Ji looked determined, "However, my subordinates are sure, just as the general guessed, that assassin is not from Korea. Because my subordinates found that he did not know the Korean language, nor could he understand the Korean language." language. In addition, the subordinates found that this person had snake venom."

Gu Zhen was not surprised when he heard the words, he was already wondering why the assassins from Goryeo appeared near the capital.Because if that person wants to assassinate him, he should choose Liaodong, a more familiar place, to have a better chance of winning. How could he follow all the way to the capital before doing it.The only possibility is that that person does not belong to the Jin family at all, and is still related to the capital.

"Snake venom in my body." Gu Zhen closed the book in his hand and grasped the key points of Leng Ji's words, his voice was cold when he spoke.

"That's right, General, this person has been poisoned by snakes for many years. The poison occurred last night, probably because he didn't take the medicine to relieve the poison."

Leng Ji carefully compared the clues about the assassination of the King of Beiliang that he had found over the years with what Qin Qingrong and Ye Ru'an said in the water pavilion yesterday, and then said: "This assassin and his subordinates have found out who assassinated the prince back then. The symptoms of those assassins' venom were similar, so the subordinates suspected that they had the same snake venom.

However, that's all the clues the subordinates have learned over the years.Recalling what Qin Taifu and Ye Shaoqing said yesterday, the subordinates think that Qin Taifu seems to know more than us. "

"Hmph, those two have been inseparable all day long, so you know they're not holding back any good intentions." Gu Zhen raised his eyebrows, and sneered at the corners of his lips, "Why didn't my father's death be investigated carefully, but found out?" On the old man of the grandfather’s family. They said that on purpose, trying to lure us into helping the emperor deal with Lin Wenshan, don’t you really know?”

Gu Zhen's long and narrow phoenix eyes were slightly thoughtful, and he rubbed the pages of the book in his hand with his fingers and said in a deep voice: "This Qin Qingrong doesn't seem simple, it's really interesting to be able to fiddle with the government with a muffled voice and turn the situation upside down."

"If Qin Taifu wants to use the general, then it should not be credible for him to say that the suspected murderer is Prime Minister Lin."

Listening to Gu Zhen's words, Leng Ji thought carefully and felt that it was really impossible for such a coincidence that they just passed by the Shui Pavilion and heard Qin Qingrong and Ye Ru'an's discussion.Thinking about it now, Qin Qingrong should have done it on purpose.

"Half-believed." Gu Zhen put down the book in his hand, picked up the teacup on the side table, blew the tea soup lightly, and began to plan step by step in his heart, "Qin Qingrong wants to lure us into the bait, then we will follow the plan. Regardless of him Whether he really knows other clues, the master will not let go of the opportunity to try.

Also, since those assassins showed up again, it seemed that those who wanted to kill the Gu family would not let it go.

That's fine, as long as they act, the master can find clues to find out the culprit.These days when you go to Tanzhou, you should pay more attention to the surrounding situation. "

Leng Ji cupped his hands and said: "Yes, General."

When the two mentioned Qin Qingrong, Leng Ji couldn't help remembering the almost quarrel between Gu Zhen and Qin Qingrong on the bridge yesterday, he frowned slightly, showing confusion,

"General, although Qin Taifu's intention to use us is not good, but the subordinates think that the general should not annoy him immediately on the bridge yesterday. This way, it is not good for us."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Hearing this, Gu Zhen laughed coldly, the tea in his mouth choked in his throat and coughed violently.

"Lengji, Lengji, you're going to piss me off!" Gu Zhen put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Lengji with a narrow smile in his eyes and feigned anger, and said, "Your master is here, are you still afraid that he won't succeed?"

Leng Ji was startled, and could not help but bow his head, "General, this subordinate is just puzzled."

"Hiss, I just can't get used to it."

Gu Zhen rubbed his heart and mouth to relax, and after a long sigh of relief, he half-lyed on the couch again.The slender, white hand full of calluses half-stretched his chin, and he said lightly: "At that time, I suddenly remembered that when I was in the Imperial College, every time I saw Qin Qingrong, I would see this person smiling, and I don't know if I was tired of pretending. This person puts on the airs of a sour Confucian all day long, it's really annoying to watch. It's like, like..."

Gu Zhen turned his head sideways to look at Leng Ji's frozen face that hadn't changed for a hundred years, he frowned slightly, rolled his eyes and sighed.

Leng Ji was slightly stunned, Gu Zhen's expression told him that Gu Zhen felt that his cold expression was also brought out.

Gu Zhen rubbed his forehead with his hand, then glanced at Leng Ji and smiled, "Leng Ji, I ordered you to give me a smile now."

Leng Ji blinked on the spot, and when he realized it, his figure instantly disappeared from Gu Zhen's sight.
