During these days, Gu Qiang, apart from staying in Xiaoyao Building, went to the original ruins of Lingyin Pavilion, hoping to find his diary, but the possibility of this was already very small, and then he sent people to keep an eye on the casino. Things have been going quite comfortably, but there has been no news from Shen Qianshan, which makes Gu Qiang a little worried, but she doesn't have any bad premonitions. Shen Qianshan and his brother Together, with so many people around to help them, there shouldn't be any big problem.
Early that morning, Gu Suliang woke Gu Qiang up and gave her some basic Qing Gong skills. He hoped that she would still have the ability to protect herself when she was too busy to take care of herself. After practicing, Qi Bai left. When I came in, I was a little surprised to see Gu Qiang and Gu Su Liang still in the yard.
"What's going on? Isn't today the day when General Huang and Mr. Gu will meet in Kyoto? The emperor specially hosted a banquet for them, and he should have invited you too. Why don't you go?"
Gu Qiang nodded, "Don't worry, the protagonists today are not us. If we go early, we will have to flatter those ministers. I don't want to cause trouble, so we are going to wait a while before going there."
It's not that Gu Qiang is not anxious to see Shen Qianshan, but she is still afraid that she will inadvertently reveal her feelings for Shen Qianshan and let Shen Zhongbai grasp something, so he and Gu Suliang have been in the yard. , while practicing, I will discuss what to do after a while.
Unlike normal times when Shen Zhongbai entertains the two brothers alone, this time all the civil and military officials are there. If he says the wrong thing, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble. So Gu Qiang is facing Feng Yao today. When the situation was serious for Qianshan, she must not show any inappropriate expressions. Gusu Liang was also afraid that she would make mistakes inadvertently, so she simply came up with a foolproof idea.
Let Gu Qiang argue with Feng Yao in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.
Gu Qiang really didn't understand why Gusu Liang had to let her do this, but after listening to his explanation, she felt that it made sense. If she had been hostile to General Feng from the beginning, Shen Zhongbai Naturally, I would not have thought that the two of them had known each other before, and it was safe for both of them.
The previous carriage was also burned down when the Lingyin Pavilion caught fire. These days, most of them went out on horseback. When they suddenly needed to use a carriage, Gusu Liang could only find one that looked better. The low-key carriage is a temporary substitute. After all, they are not the protagonists of today's banquet. As long as they are not late and don't make the civil and military officials a joke, that's all.
"Shen Siyin will definitely go today. If you feel embarrassed, I will help you isolate her." Gu Qiang was still a little worried. She was afraid that Gu Suliang was still angry about what she did that day. , carefully watching the reactions of the people around him with his peripheral vision.
Gusu Liang thought she was quite funny like this, and quickly made a serious face, "I will settle the accounts with you later on for what happened last time. After you have messed with Feng Yao today, please don't show your flaws, otherwise we will both die." There."
Gu Qiang asked Qi Bai to go early. Until now, Qi Bai had never seen his prince in person. He couldn't bear it anymore. He entered the palace early and followed the two of them. came to Gu Huaian's side.
After An Ye followed Huang Hao's army into Kyoto, he went to Yuhua Tower and did not stay with Shen Qianshan and the others all the time. This was just to avoid attracting attention and secretly help Shen Qianshan deal with things that were inconvenient for him to come forward. things.
"Prince-in-law, Mr. Gusu, please come this way." The little eunuch at the door is also very discerning, but this did not delay Gu Qiang from recognizing this person at a glance. He was obviously the one who was ordered by Shen Zhongbai last time. The little eunuch who went out to get tea was a different person when he came back. Even under such circumstances, Gu Qiang still noticed that this little eunuch must have been influenced by Shen Zhongbai and was waiting here for the two of them. personal.
This is not the first time that Gu Qiang has come in this palace. She has been in and out so many times. As long as she is not alone with Shen Zhongbai, Gu Qiang actually feels quite relaxed. Even if the person next to her is Shen Siyin, and Or Shen Qiangwei, both are better than Shen Zhongbai.
There were already many officials in the main hall. Gu Qiang and Gu Su Liang arrived not too late, but everyone had already taken their seats, eliminating the need to greet each other. Gu Qiang was actually very satisfied and followed her. The little eunuch in front of him found his seat, and the two of them sat down quietly without saying anything. They were all just decorations. It would be best for Shen Zhongbai not to notice the two of them today.
Shen Qiangwei is basically the master of the harem now. No matter whether she uses any method or not, Shen Zhongbai must give her priority among all the women in the harem. Shen Zhongbai can attack a person without any background. Just go, once you realize that she has no use anymore, you can abandon her like a waste.
So until now, the only people who can sit next to Shen Zhongbai are Shen Qiangwei and Shen Siyin.
Gu Qiang noticed that when Shen Zhongbai sat down, he subconsciously leaned in Shen Qiangwei's direction. Could it be that in such a short period of time, he was completely inseparable from the fragrance on Shen Qiangwei's body? It seems that Shen Zhongbai is not completely without weaknesses. Shen Qiangwei used this move extremely well.
Except for Shen Qianshan, there are no other princes in the court. Shen Qianshan has been missing for such a long time, and the civil and military officials in the court have long considered him dead, but Shen Zhongbai is still not far from him. A table was set up for him in a certain place. After all, Shen Qianshan was also a general in this war, and he always had to show off and express his benevolence.
"It's really a pity."
Gu Qiang picked up the wine glass in front of her. The whole hall was magnificent, and there were so many civil and military officials. They were all discussing some things that they didn't understand at all. Everyone had a fake smile on their face, but some How many people really want this country to be safe? It's not all for selfish interests.
"This time the Dongliang Kingdom invaded, it is thanks to General Huang. General Huang is worthy of being a pillar of the country. I thank you for your contribution to the country. I would like to toast you first."
Although Huang Hao is a rough man, he also understands the rules. After this war, the person who contributed the most was not him at all. He was not even the person who directed the battle on the battlefield. How could he take all the credit? What about yourself
"Your Majesty, as a soldier of Bei'an, it is natural for me to lead troops to fight. However, this time, on the battlefield, the one who has made the greatest contribution is not me, but the Ninth Prince. I am incompetent. Until now, I have not been able to find Ninth Prince. His traces are really embarrassing to the Emperor. If it weren’t for the Ninth Prince, I’m afraid this war might not have been won.”
After Shen Zhongbai heard Huang Hao's words, his face was obviously unhappy, but what could he say? Shen Qianshan had indeed paid a lot for this war. If he wiped out his contribution at this time, the DPRK would probably Someone is against me again.
"And in the subsequent war, if my deputy general Feng Yao hadn't assisted me, I wouldn't have been able to win the war. So after all, the person the emperor wants to reward is not me, but Feng Yao. "
Shen Zhongbai looked at the unfamiliar face sitting next to Huang Hao, "Seeing that General Huang is always gathering around this soldier named Feng Yao, I guess the person sitting next to General Huang is Feng Yao, right?"
In fact, Shen Zhongbai had already noticed him as soon as he entered the hall. No matter where he was, this man could not hide his sharp edge. He must be a figure. What's more, Huang Hao also said that if he is on the battlefield, Without his help, victory may not be possible. It seems that this person is definitely talented. Otherwise, how could so many people say that he is capable
When Shen Qianshan heard his name being called, he stood up and said, "General Feng Yao, please see the emperor."
Shen Zhongbai is worried now. No one can help him get rid of Gu Linjiang, and he is also lacking talents around him. This Feng Yao just helped him win the battle, and he should not have any intention of rebellion, so at this time, The most important thing is to take her under his command and prevent Gu Linjiang from reaching the county level.
"Since he is a talent that General Huang admires, it is naturally impossible for me to bury the talent. In this way, I will confer General Huang as the general of the country. As for the general, I will give you a brave general. I hope that you two can protect our territory."
The main hall was noisy, most of them were congratulating Huang Hao and Feng Yao. Once the crowd gathered, Gu Qiang couldn't control his eyes. At this moment, he couldn't look away early, his eyes were fixed. She stared in the direction of Shen Qianshan. If Gu Suliang hadn't tugged on her sleeve, someone with an intention might have noticed it at this time.
Gu Suliang was afraid that Gu Qiang would not be able to control her emotions, so she simply lifted her up and placed it in front of Gu Qiang. How could she possibly quarrel with the person opposite her with such loving eyes? It's already good enough not to reveal anything in front of Shen Zhongbai. It's better not to say anything, say less and make fewer mistakes.
In order to control her emotions, Gu Qiang could only keep holding the wine glass, for no other reason than to at least cover her face. However, the wine glass from the General Administration was not a problem. After a while, Gu Qiang's eyes began to look a little... Confused.
Shen Simin had no interest in this general at all. His eyes had always been on Gu Su Liang. When he saw something was wrong with him, he hurried over.
