Gu Qianxue still couldn't believe it, "Uncle, is he really the emperor of Nanyue Kingdom? Are you talking about other countries? Is it Yingsha Kingdom?"
The middle-aged man said, "Hey, girl, can you still joke about the death of the former emperor? I can't remember correctly, if you really don't believe me, go to Guandong City and ask." Then, his tone changed, and he said with a smile, "Girl , this skin...or else it will be sold for fifty taels."
Gu Qianxue sighed, her eyes sparkled sharply, "One hundred taels, all the skins will be given to you, uncle, you should know that my price is not low, these are three tiger skins!"
The merchant wanted to bargain, but seeing Gu Qianxue's serious face, he hurriedly took out the money, "Okay, okay, the little girl really knows how to do business, here you are."
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, the businessman walked away with his skin in his arms.
The businessman naturally made money, and Gu Qianxue didn't bargain with him to make more money. These were the money to rush to Guandong City.
When Gu Qianxue turned her head, she saw Gong Lingyu staring blankly at the south.
South is the direction of Nanyue Kingdom.
"Palace..."
Before Gu Qianxue could finish her sentence, she saw Gong Lingyan knelt down to the south with a plop, her head lowered, her broad arms trembling slightly.
She knew that even though the emperor used Gong Lingyan at the beginning, how could he use him improperly, but to Gong Lingyan, the emperor is still the father. When a person has nothing, a belief is very precious, even if it is a bad belief. .
Gu Qianxue walked up to him and quietly accompanied him, but did not kneel down.
She didn't know if he would have a nervous breakdown, but in any case, she had to calm down, and she had to hold on.
The emperor is dead, and the one who ascends the throne may be the crown prince, so what will happen to Concubine Qin? And Gu Shangshu and Mrs. Gu, will they be targeted by the crown prince
There are people coming and going on the street, although it is a hidden place at the end of the street, it is inevitable that people will pass by.
Passers-by looked at the two people standing side by side as if they were fools.
Gu Qianxue tried her best to cover the kneeling Gong Lingying with her body, but she didn't stop her. She knew that he needed some way to vent, and she knew that he would definitely feel guilty. He chose her instead of protecting his parents. This feeling...is too heavy, she doesn't know how to repay.
She thought she owed Su Lingxiao, but in the end she realized that the person she really owed was by her side.
Gu Qianxue lowered her eyes. She swore to protect and accompany this man. If anyone dared to hurt this man, she would use the most despicable method, even if she stained her hands with blood, she would not let him go!
In this way, two hours passed.
It was getting darker and darker.
Gu Qianxue glanced at the sky and knelt down on one knee, "I know you are very sad, but please take it in, it's getting dark, and the gates of the city are afraid to be closed, let's buy horses and leave the city immediately, and try to arrive in Guandong City early tomorrow morning. "
After a long while, he slowly raised his head. There were no tears, only despair.
Gu Qianxue rushed towards him and hugged him tightly, "You still have me, don't you? After this matter is over, we will get married and we will have many children. You must be strong! Please..."
Hearing these words, he trembled all over, then lowered his eyes, slowly raised his hand and put it on the back of her neck, "...OK."
Afterwards, the two seized the time to go to the post station to buy two of the best horses at a high price, and then rushed out just before the city gate closed.
Not to mention traveling overnight.
At dawn the next day, the two arrived in Kanto City.
The city gate is not open yet.
When I came back again, I felt like a lifetime away.
The horse was gnawing grass on the ground, while Gong Lingyu sat slumped in the corner with his arms on his knees and his head bowed.
Gu Qianxue walked to him and sat down.
Its daybreak.
The sun is dazzling.
He raised his head, his lips were dry and pale, "I've let you down."
Gu Qianxue laughed and said, "Where are you disappointed?"
Gong Lingyu slowly raised her hand, stroked her hair, then slowly lowered it, wrapping her arms around her shoulders, "I hope to give you solid support, but I didn't expect that it would be me who collapsed first."
Gu Qianxue reached out her hand to caress his dry lips distressedly, "Not only is she not disappointed, but she loves you even more. Because you are now a person of flesh and blood, a person who loves and hates, and a kind person."
Gong Lingyan laughed, "Kindness? In the whole world, you are the first person to say that I, Gong Lingyan, are kind." Gu Qianxue shook her head, "The emperor treated you like that, but you still forgive him and still love him. What is it? Kindness is relative rather than absolute. For example, when a tiger hunts a sheep and you save the sheep, you can only say that you are kind to the sheep but cruel to the tiger. The tiger may miss this
starve or starve to death. "The voice paused for a moment, and then laughed, "I really am, what chicken soup are you talking about at this time?" I love you whether you are kind or cruel. "
Gong Lingyan raised his eyes, surprised.
Gu Qianxue frowned, "Why are you surprised?"
There was a trace of tenderness in Gong Lingyu's empty eyes, and she squeezed her shoulder, "I love you too."
But at this moment, the city gate opened, and the people under the city gate immediately lined up to be interrogated.
"Shall we go to line up too?" Gu Qianxue asked.
Gong Lingfeng nodded.
The two walked towards the end of the team, "Why didn't you choose to use Qinggong to climb over the wall just now? Although Guandong City is heavily guarded, if we are careful with our Qinggong, we can still enter the city." Gu Qianxue asked softly.
"Because..." Gong Lingyan lowered his eyes, and the last words were still left unsaid.
He fears.
As long as he entered the gate of Guandong City, he would face the fact that his father had passed away.
However, I have to face it.
The two entered the city after being interrogated, but saw that the city was still as usual.
Not far from the city gate is the cathedral taught by Yilan, which was later converted into a synagogue and used for popularizing Chinese and English courses.
Due to the overall renovation plan in the city, there are three-story small buildings adjacent to it, which are neat and beautiful, the streets are clean, and the people passing by are neatly dressed.
Familiar with the road, he soon arrived at the Marshal's Mansion.
The two tied the reins to the tree, and then climbed over the wall with light work to enter.
Gu Qianxue was fairly familiar with the Marshal's Mansion, so she carefully avoided the servants and headed towards the main courtyard.
main courtyard.
Quiet, Ning Yi.
There are not many servants, and they all come and go on tiptoe, as if they are afraid of disturbing the people inside.
Gong Lingyan and Gu Qianxue, who were lying on the roof carefully, were taken aback when they saw this scene, and they exchanged glances.
"I'll go in and take a look first." Gong Lingfeng said softly.
"Let's go together." Gu Qianxue said.
Gong Lingyu nodded, and reached out to break off a corner of a tile, "After throwing it over to attract the attention of the servants, we will jump off the roof together."
"Okay." Gu Qianxue returned softly.
A pebble was thrown towards the gate of the courtyard, and a few or two people subconsciously looked over it, but they didn't see two figures on the roof jumping off the roof and entering the house.
Fortunately, there were no servants in the house, but there was a strong smell of medicine.
It is necessary to return. Gu Qianxue quickly walked towards the room where Xugui was the strongest, it was a side room, she could guess the identity of the person who used Xugui.
