Dressed as a vicious step-sister

"Promise?"

Gu Nian looked at Changhong.

Changhong thought for a while before slowly nodding.

She said, "But I have to wait until I finish something."

"Okay!" Gu Nian stretched out his hand and patted Changhong's shoulder lightly, feeling a little... liking for her just today.

Seeing a hint of joy in Gu Nian's expression, Chang Hong was slightly stunned for a while, then she turned around and left quickly.

"Debt."

"Lack of money? What do you need money for?"

Changhong's mind quickly flashed some words that had nothing to do with Gu Nian, employment, Shuangye Pavilion, which made her unable to help thinking of some unfriendly things.

It has to be said that her intuitive judgment is very accurate.

After Gu Nian watched Changhong leave, she quickly called out to the courtyard: "If you are here, come out and see me."

After shouting, no one nearby responded to her.

She still yelled a few times, but she still didn't get a response. She felt that she should adjust her life and rules in the future, and call Xue to come over, so as not to miss the opportunity or waste time.

Will give up the idea of ​​waiting.

Xue finally appeared, but this time she stood on the roof and did not come down. Instead, she shouted in a voice that could be heard by two people: "If you have any orders in the future, bury the tube under the peach blossom tree in the courtyard. I will meet you when I have time." have a look."

Gu Nian stood with her hands behind her back, she smiled and said, "Am I the master, or are you the master?"

Xue stared ahead and said: "You are not, if you don't do what I ask, you won't be my master."

Hey, what a cold woman.Gu Nian remembered the conditions he had promised her.

Now think about agreeing without hesitation, would I be too hasty?

Gu Nian sighed: "In this world, only I can agree to your request, and only I dare to agree to your request. Isn't that enough to prove my determination?"

Xue, who was standing on the roof, was silent.

The two were silent for a while, standing up and down the room, their figures merged into a line.

Xue Song said: "Yes, master."

I heard the other party compromise.

Gu Nian did not put on the posture of the master, she said: "Just as you said, contact under the peach blossom tree."

"Yes! Master."

She thought for a while and added: "Today's task is to go to the mansion of my uncle, Gu Qinghua, to find something."

"What is it?" Xue finally jumped off the roof, stood behind Gu Nian, bent slightly and made a respectful posture of waiting for orders.

Gu Nian turned around and said with a gentle smile: "The Ling Palace has a list, which records the old aristocratic families of the previous dynasty in large and small sizes, although the old aristocrats that exist in the Great Wei now have no other family except our Gu family."

"Most of the current aristocratic families are new aristocratic families. It has only been seven or eighty years. Although they are getting old, after more than 80 years of cleaning by the emperor's grandfather, they have basically wiped out all the influence in the family."

"The rest are people who are loyal to our family."

After finishing speaking, Gu Nian stretched out his hand to tidy up his clothes, lowered his head and became careless: "King Ling, I have never given up on searching for the treasures of the previous dynasty, you go and steal the list and check to see if there is a family that uses red treasures." The strokes are good."

In the original book, she clearly remembered that when Ling Wang Gu Qinghua was cleaning up the enemies, he especially liked to make a life-and-death list and control the power of life and death of others. She is spurned.

I remember, I remember how many houses there are in the red pen.

Xue nodded respectfully and said, "Are there any other requirements besides these?"

"Yes, of course there is. This princess has great respect and love for Uncle Three Emperors." Gu Nian said casually.

Added a sentence at the end: "By the way, set a fire in his garden."

This time Xue heard it, and finally couldn't help the expression on her face, she couldn't help twitching.

"Then I'm going down."

Even if Xue wanted to say something, she swallowed it down. After all, she is now a loyal person. Whether she is capable or not will be seen over time. She will give Gu Nian this opportunity to prove whether she is as ambitious as Gu Nian said. Bole with a plan?

All are on hold.

Only Gu Nian was standing at the gate of the West Pavilion with an outsider, but she was not completely an outsider, instead she was deeply immersed in this world.

She lowered her head and thought for a while, and calculated the day when her father and Gu Zheng would leave. In the last few days, they should be about to go on the road. At that time, it happened to be a chance for her to make a comeback.

In the middle of the night, shadows follow, and no one is seen.

The garden in Lingwang Mansion was ignited by a big fire, and the newly planted flowers were completely burned by the fire.

Due to the fire, all the people in the palace were fighting the fire, but they didn't realize that three black figures had sneaked into the study room. After a while, the people inside came out with a blue book, and they hadn't had time to exchange hands.

Suddenly a gun was set up near the study, and a dozen shooters surrounded the three shadows.

The leading guard shouted: "Not one left!!!"

In an instant, the arrow shot through the three black shadows like a drizzle after a rain.

The black shadow looked at the killing intent in astonishment, and fell down instantly without a sound, and the blue book in his hand fell to the ground.

The leading guards picked up the blue book, walked to the corner and handed it respectfully to a man in Chinese clothes wearing a pale yellow robe.

The man stands with his hands behind his back.

With a peachy face, handsome and handsome, he took the blue book slowly: "Go and find out their identities."

"Yes!" The leading guard immediately ordered someone to drag the corpse out and clean it up, as if nothing happened here again.

The man stared at the blue book, his cold eyes were as sharp as an owl at night, he rolled up the blue book with a sneer, and looked at the fire in the garden.

All he said was, "bluffing."

"This king will let you come and go!"

This person is Ling Wang Gu Qinghua.

After Gu Qinghua turned and left, he didn't notice that there was an arrow covered in black shadows hiding in a nearby corner. He breathed heavily and climbed over the wall. After walking several streets, he threw the note in his hand into an arrow. Under the locust tree, he walked to the nearby river and threw himself into the river without hesitation.

In any case, when doing so-called big things, the feet will not be clean forever, and the innocent and nameless bones will be trampled on.

After the third watch, the watchman passed by, knocked on the bamboo tube, squatted down and rummaged through the field of locust trees several times, picked up the note, and left naturally.

Until a certain teahouse, I got the note smoothly.

In the middle of the night, there are more than a few people who have not slept.

Xue stood by the tea table, watching Gu Nian sitting, she took the bloody note with a calm expression, and glanced at it seriously, the content on it was: "Yanhe county magistrate Rong's family."

"Master, do we need to go to Rong's house immediately?" Xue lost four people in this line, and she didn't even bat an eyebrow, maybe she had already prepared for it.

Just like she lost the bandits she cultivated.

Gu Nian asked first, "Those who died, do they have family members?"

Xue Dao: "They are all orphans I picked up and raised since I was a child 15 years ago."

"What about your current age?"

Xue fell silent.

Gu Nian put a 1 taels of silver bill in her pocket on the table, and she sighed, "I have a family member who has made arrangements, so ask a few people to find the corpse and make arrangements."

"As for the others, don't send anyone there for now."

"I want to see the fire first."

"Fire?" Xue Dun asked strangely.

Didn't the princess set the fire just to play a prank?For some reason, Xue suddenly didn't understand the new master in front of her. Sometimes her thoughts seemed simple and easy to discern, but sometimes they turned around and couldn't be guessed.

To this, Gu Nian only replied.

"You just have to wait."

at the same time.

Changhong has already sneaked into Prince Qin's mansion, ready to search for what she wants to find at any time. She first entered the familiar Qingning Courtyard, went to the study room where she met for the first time, and searched up and down, but did not find what she wanted. s things.

Then she decided to try her luck elsewhere.

At this moment, someone from Qingning Court hurried past with a basin, and the leader was Qingzhu.

She was talking anxiously with another servant girl: "Master just went to the barracks. I heard that something happened there. I don't know if Master Pang has brought General Pang there."

The maid replied: "Sister Qingzhu, don't you know?"

"what?"

The person stabbed by the assassin was none other than General Pang.

This time it was Qing Zhu's turn to be surprised: "Ah?! Why is he a big man?"

Changhong, who heard these words, was inevitably puzzled, but she still took the opportunity to sneak into Gu Zheng's yard to search for what she was looking for.

I searched around, but still found nothing. Seeing that the sky turned white, it would be dawn soon.

Changhong disappeared into the Qin Palace without hesitation.

The next day.

A big event and a small event shocked the entire capital side by side, making the city full of storms and causing everyone to feel insecure.

That is, Lingwang's mansion was flooded again, and the assassin assassinated Lingwang was killed on the spot. The news of this incident in the palace angered His Majesty, and he summoned people from Shuntian Mansion to come over for questioning.

More than half of the people in Shuntian Mansion were waiting to be reprimanded with bitter faces. Most of them were reprimands, and they were almost put on black hats, and some were sent directly to prison, which involved a lot.

At the same time, that trivial matter was that a young general with a certain status under the Ministry of War was also assassinated by gangsters last night and suffered serious injuries, which even alarmed the eldest son.

Because this fierce general is Pang Yong, Pang Yong has worked in the capital and defended the city, so many people know his name, so it is reasonable for him to be paid attention to because of his injury.

These two things seem to be related and not related.

It caused Gu Zheng, who was about to travel with his father, to have a headache. Now that he has a job, he can no longer stay in the capital as he pleases. Now that Pang Yong is injured, he is surprised and puzzled at the same time, who would assassinate someone? A military officer with a big head?Could it be an old enmity?

"Pang Yong, who have you offended before?"

Pang Yong was sitting on a chair, with a doctor bandaging his arm next to him, and Pang Yong was not stupid. He heard the fire in the Lingwang Garden and the robbery of the study room last night, and he muttered in his heart.

He didn't think it was such a coincidence, did he?

Pang Yong seemed hesitant to speak.

Seeing him hesitating, Gu Zheng couldn't help but sternly said: "Tell me the truth."

Pang Yong had no choice but to feel ashamed and said, "If you say you offended someone, your subordinate did offend someone a while ago."

"Who? What is it?"

Gu Zheng desperately wants to know the truth.

"Even when the subordinates and the princess were planning to go to Ma'anshan to save you, the princess didn't know where to inquire about it, or she seemed to be annoyed when she came back from Princess Anqing and told her subordinates that she wanted to be disgusted. People." When Pang Yong said this, his big face became a little embarrassed when he remembered that it was an unscrupulous method.

He said: "It's the third prince's mansion, and while his subordinates are doing things for the county chief, they have selfish intentions, so they added a fire to King Ling's study..."

Speaking of this, when Pang Yong saw Gu Zheng's face getting more and more difficult from embarrassment, he felt guilty, and even lowered his head in fear.

Gu Zheng couldn't get angry even if he thought about it. He listened carefully to the ins and outs of what Pang Yong said, but he was sad that Nian'er's pure mind was just throwing something to disgust others, but Pang Yong decided to burn the third uncle's study on his own initiative. It's no wonder that he was retaliated by Uncle Sanhuang's people.

It's just that he never expected that the third emperor's uncle, with his usual demeanor of a gentle and elegant gentleman, would actually kill someone.

Gu Zheng had no choice but to become wary of Gu Qinghua.

And Nian'er's side... No matter how much he doubted, no matter how much he had a faint guess about his sister, he was stopped by his partiality that radiated from the inside out.

Nian'er is just a prank, just a prank.

Gu Zheng didn't dare to think about it. At the same time, he also knew that Uncle Sanhuang had been offended and it was irreparable. He needed to take the initiative to attack while taking precautions against the Ling Palace in the future.

I don't know.

In a certain teahouse, when Xue offended Pang Yong for that small incident, his eyes showed shock, which can be said to be very unexpected.

Xue finally stared squarely at Gu Nian who was sitting on the side playing with teacups this time.

"Master, is this your purpose?"

Gu Nian just showed a slight smile and said, "I'm just not worth it for my stupid brother, I want to help him, let him know who he almost died at the hands of?"

"Master is clever, just a small fire completely ignited the conflict between the two parties. Xue has to admire it."

I thought it was a prank trick, but now they have really become the two rivals they like to see, when they stare at each other...

Gu Nian didn't take it seriously, and she had to thank Pang Yong, but she didn't suffer from the big man when she went to Ma'anshan.This time it is because of the protagonist's aura that Pang Yong will not die.

She is also worthy of Pang Yong's halo of the protagonist, she will not die easily, and she can even jump to the end.

So she said: "My brother probably will leave tomorrow."

"You follow him tomorrow, go to Yanhe County with him, and find an opportunity to pass the news to Gu Zheng that Yuxi from the previous dynasty may be in the Rong family."

"You?!" Xue Ben was still in admiration, but when she heard this sentence, she was stunned again.

Gu Nian's eyes fixed and interrupted what she was about to say.

She said in a lingering tone: "Don't worry, the jade seal of the previous dynasty is very important to you and me, but wouldn't it be better for someone to guard it for us at the beginning?"

You mean to let the prince discover the jade seal of the previous dynasty. In this way, wouldn't he first send a letter to the court, and the emperor will definitely send troops to respond. At that time, our plan... Speaking of this.

Xue's tone was full of doubts and reluctance. She exchanged the life of her subordinates for the opportunity. Now she can get the jade seal of the former dynasty first, but the princess wants to give it up.

What is the princess thinking?

At this time, her tone was already blunt.

Gu Nian's gaze gradually became a little colder, and the reflection in her eyes was dark and reflected Xue's beautiful figure. When she stood up, Gao Xue's half head already had a condescending aura.

She stretched out her finger to gently lift Xue's chin, and asked, "It seems that you haven't adapted yet, who is the master?"

"Me." Xue immediately lowered his head and did not speak.

Gu Nian patiently said: "Have you ever thought that the person who got the jade seal from the previous dynasty is destined to be the target of public criticism, and is even more likely to be the target of being attacked by everyone."

Xue raised her head instantly when she heard the words, and said with disbelieving eyes: "You are using your brother as a shield."

finished.She clearly saw the undisguised calculation and coldness in Gu Nian's eyes, the deepness surrounding her figure fiercely like a whirlpool, drawing her in at any time, and the silent posture, calm face, but The inexplicable pressure on her made her a little nervous.

what happened? !

Feeling a little weird?She saw that smiling princess before, is it really her?

But she had the illusion that no one stipulates that people who usually smile and giggle have negative IQs, and they are even stupid people who will be calculated by others at any time.

This made Xue suddenly feel like she had fallen into a wolf's den. She obviously wanted to find a master who was volatile and controllable, so she chose Gu Nian, but she didn't expect that the development of things was exactly the opposite of what she expected.

It's really permeating.

"Subordinates, subordinates know."

Xue couldn't bear to look at Gu Nian's eyes any longer, it was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, which made her very uneasy.

Gu Nian put down her hand and nodded with satisfaction.

"I'm not a bare-bones commander now that I have you. You are very lucky to be my first subordinate."

"Please work harder for me in the future!"

Hearing the meaning of her tone, she was vigilant, that is, I can have other subordinates at any time, but you don't necessarily have a master like me.

"Yes, it is a great honor for this subordinate to serve you." Xue bowed his head completely.

She no longer has any doubts or temptations. Now, she just listens to the princess.
