After all, the old marquis didn't let Gu Yan settle the bill. He took out the money bag, took out a silver naked coin and handed it to Xiao Er, but maybe he took it too quickly and brought out a pipa knot made of red rope.
Gu Yan quickly picked up the pipa knot, the pipa knot looked a few years old, faded and hairy.
It's hard to imagine that a big man with strong bones would have such a thing in his purse.
"It was given by your confidante?" Gu Yan asked.
At first glance, it was given by a woman, but it would not be the old lady in the mansion. He and Mrs. Gu were so good-looking that they would not wear what she gave.
"Cough, no, don't talk nonsense." The old man put the pipa knot back into the purse.
Gu Yan didn't believe it, he asked curiously, "I can't tell, you still have a confidante, where is she now?"
Certainly not in the mansion, the old concubine in the mansion has already been cleaned up by Mrs. Gu.
The old marquis has never mentioned his feelings to others over the years, so much bitterness has been smothered in his heart, and to be honest, he does have a desire to pour out.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's from a friend of mine. He fell with me, and I'm going to return it to him."
my friend
What a familiar beginning!
Gu Yan, who read the entire Fengyue storybook of the old sacrificial wine, said that he understood, very well!
He raised his handsome little brows: "Then where is your friend's confidante now?"
The old marquis sighed in disappointment: "She... has become a monk."
"Why?" Gu Yan asked.
"My husband passed away, I couldn't help myself. But..." Speaking of this, the old man paused, "It may also be to be able to see my friend again in his lifetime."
I can't see that the old man is so attracted to women.
Gu Yan didn't ask about the reason he couldn't help himself. His focus was on the last sentence, and he said thoughtfully: "It seems that this confidante has a deep affection for your friend."
The old marquis looked down at the concentric knot in his hand and said, "It's a pity that we met too late, I wish we could meet before we got married."
Gu Yan said: "But isn't her husband already dead? Besides, she has become a nephew for your friend's sake, do you think she... Cough, I mean, can't your friend really see it? "
The old man frowned: "What do you mean—"
Gu Yan said, "I mean, she may have been waiting for your friend to take her away."
"Take her... leave?" The old marquis was shocked, this child is so amazing that he can't stop dying!
Gu Yan nodded: "Yeah. Let me ask you, why does your friend think she became a monk just to see him? Did she say this herself? Or, she made your friend feel her friendship for your friend. "
"... Hmm." The old man nodded and admitted.
Gu Yan slapped the table with a slap: "That's enough! She's a woman, and it's her limit to show a little friendship, she can't just talk about your elopement with me, this kind of thing has to be done. We men take the initiative!"
The old man was so stunned by Gu Yan's words that he forgot to say that you are only fifteen, and you are not a real man.
"This, this is too unreasonable!"
How did this child grow up to be more courageous than his three brothers!
Gu Yan: "What's the big deal? Go for it if you like it."
The old man hesitated: "In case she doesn't want to—"
"If she doesn't want to, it means that she doesn't have your... friend in her heart!" Gu Yan patted his grandfather on the shoulder, and analyzed it for him based on his senior experience in reading the book, "She has become a monk, and What can't you do? If she doesn't want to run away, then there's only one truth - she doesn't like your friend, she just keeps taking advantage of your friend's feelings for her!"
-
Gu Jiao was busy in the medical center all morning, and finally got a little free time in the afternoon. It was rare that she didn't have to pick up the black powder, so she lay on the rattan chair under the big tree to enjoy the coolness for a while.
Li Wanwan, who is separated by a wall, is practicing the piano.
She was used to coming here every day to practice the piano for Gu Jiao, but she didn't know if Gu Jiao was there every time.
Her piano skills have improved a lot compared to years ago, but today she doesn't know if she has something on her mind and plays absent-mindedly.
"You made a mistake again." Gu Jiao said lightly.
"Ah." Li Wanwan's face turned pale, she did not expect the girl to be here today, after all, the girl had not listened to her piano practice for several days.
She straightened her expression and said, "I, I'll play it again."
The results are still far from satisfactory.
She was so nervous that sweat broke out from her palms.
It was very strange that the other party was obviously not her master, but she was even more nervous than in front of her master.
"Sorry, I should be more attentive..." She bit her lip and whispered, "I may not be able to come next month... I... I'm getting married... "
In fact, she is not very old, only sixteen, this dynasty is no better than the previous dynasty, and a woman who gets married at the age of eighteen or nineteen will not be criticized.
It's just that it depends on the specific market situation. The daughter of a big family can afford it, and a woman from a small family like her must marry early.
I heard that girls in the countryside get married earlier. Thinking of this, I am lucky. After all, I was sixteen, and I caught up with the good time to go to girls’ school for half a year. I also met girls because of girls’ school, and got so many girls guidance.
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
No one will play the piano for him anymore.
When did Xiao Jiangli learn to play the piano
"I've been wanting to say goodbye to the girl these few days, I want to say thank you to the girl. My biggest achievement in the women's school is getting to know the girl. Originally, my family was going to drop me out of school after the year, and the girl changed the song for me. I was favored by Xie Leshi, and with his persistent insistence, my family let me study for another half a year."
Li Wanwan said, her cheeks flushed slightly, "Speaking of which, this marriage is also thanks to the girl. I played the piano well, and a son of a noble family heard that he came to my father and asked for a kiss."
Gu Jiao didn't see her expression, but it was not difficult to hear her longing for marriage in her words. It seemed that she also liked that son.
"Girl, can I... Can I give you something? You taught me so much, I would feel bad if I just left. Please accept my thank you gift. It's not something valuable, a small medicine bag. , please accept the girl with a smile."
"Yeah." Gu Jiao replied lightly.
Li Wanwan was overjoyed, she took out the medicine bag that had been rusted for several nights from her wide sleeves, so as not to be too light to throw away, she put a few dates in it.
"Girl, go on!"
She threw the medicine bag over the courtyard wall.
Gu Jiao caught it with one hand: "Thank you."
Li Wanwan smiled brightly: "It should be! Then, I'm leaving! In the last few days, I will try to play a few more songs for the girl. If I don't come one day, it means... I won't come again."
In the end, her heart suddenly felt a little lost.
I miss the girl.
I don't know if I can meet such a teacher and friend in the future.
She packed the guqin, picked up the piano case and left.
Snapped!
A small kit landed on her piano case impartially.
She was slightly startled: "Girl?"
"The wedding gift." Gu Jiao said.
Li Wanwan smiled happily, like a child.
"Girl Gu, Miss Gu! Someone wants to ask a doctor for a doctor's visit, saying that the situation is very critical!" The little three hurried over with a look.
"How critical is it?" Gu Jiao asked.
The third son said in fear: "Hand... The hand is broken! It was cut off! It's a woodcutter!"
This is a major operation, and Gu Jiao has to go there in person.
"Okay, I'll go." Gu Jiao put on the small backpack, and the little third child drove the car to the mansion on Qingliu Street that the little servant said.
Walking and walking, the little third child felt uncomfortable: "Hey? This is not the way to Qingliu Street!"
The boy rode ahead on horseback. He didn't look back when he heard the words, and said, "The road was being built over there when I came. We have to go around here."
"What's wrong? Is the road wrong?" Gu Jiao asked lightly.
"Go around a bit." The third child muttered.
Gu Jiao lifted the curtain and looked at the scene along the street.
Not every street in the capital is prosperous and lively, and some remote places are very desolate.
This is an old street with not many pedestrians and not many shops. Further ahead is an official road with wheat fields on both sides.
Yes, there are fields in the capital, but they are all in remote areas.
"What a great place to be ambushed..."
This is an instinct that was cultivated when he was a killer in a previous life. When he sees a lot, he will always subconsciously judge whether it is suitable for a case.
However, as soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she stopped.
Not right.
Very wrong.
It's the killer's intuition.
Gu Jiao put down the curtain and opened the roller blind in front of her. She shot a silver needle and stabbed the servant who was leading the way in front of her.
The little servant screamed and fell from the horse.
"Girl Gu, you—" The third child was stunned.
"Turn around!" Gu Jiao didn't have time to explain to him.
Little Sanzi is indeed the person who has seen the world with Gu Jiao, but he didn't lose the chain in a pinch, and if the second owner was here, he might have passed out by pinching him.
He didn't ask why he turned around, he believed Gu Jiao.
It was a pity that it was too late. The people in black who were lying in ambush under the ridge rushed towards Gu Jiao's carriage like arrows.
Everyone is holding a big sword with a cold light in their hands, their eyes are sharp, and their murderous aura is like a rainbow!
Gu Jiao knew that there were ten people without counting.
I really look down on her, and sent so many people to besiege her!
"you go first!"
Gu Jiao jumped off the carriage.
The little third child is not pretentious and does not leave. He knows that his weight is not good, and he does not know martial arts. If he stays, he will only become a burden to Gu girl.
It's better to report to the official quickly, maybe we can move the soldiers for Miss Gu.
Of course, it would be good if he could lure away a few assassins.
For Gu girl, he fought hard!
"Come on! Assassins!"
He tightened the reins and looked back.
Well, none of them caught up...
Gu Jiao was surrounded by men in black.
She glanced coldly: "Let's go together, it's too tiring to come one by one."
The men in black all showed contempt, and charged at Gu Jiao with a knife.
"I just took you guys to try my black powder." Gu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, but unfortunately there are only three, and she doesn't know how powerful it is.
In her previous life, she played a small wrestling cannon that could explode without igniting it or throwing it on the ground.
The black powder she made is similar to the small throwing cannon, but it is more powerful.
Gu Jiao took out a black gunpowder and threw it on a man in black, hearing a loud bang, and the man in black was knocked unconscious.
So-so.
Gu Jiao was neither too satisfied nor disappointed.
She blew herself up to the sky mainly because she used a lot of ingredients. It's not too bad that such a small piece can blow people unconscious.
This group of assassins had never seen such a strange hidden weapon. It was so powerful and powerful that everyone was shocked.
Everyone looked at Gu Jiao with fear.
Gu Jiao curled the corners of her lips coldly, snatched the knife from one of them, and knocked them away with one punch.
The rest of the people reacted and rushed towards Gu Jiao again.
However, the explosion just now destroyed their morale. Gu Jiao solved it quickly. After the last assassin also fell, Gu Jiao clapped her hands lightly.
But no one expected that a dangerous aura suddenly approached.
What a terrible breath!
Gu Jiao was shocked, she couldn't escape.
That man is too fast!
At the critical moment, a sword light slashed down, blocking the man's assassination, and stretched out another arm, wrapped around Gu Jiao's waist, and led her back quickly.
"Wait for me here!"
After Gu Changqing finished speaking, he killed the opponent with his sword.
This was the first time Gu Jiao saw that Gu Changqing really meant to fight with others. It was much stronger than she imagined, but he was still not the opponent's opponent.
That is a person who even Gu Jiao would give birth to a trace of fear.
How could this be
Who is he
Gu Changqing slapped the opponent and used his sword to stabilize his body.
Gu Jiao took out the last two black gunpowders and threw them at each other suddenly!
The man thought it was an ordinary hidden weapon, and when he slashed it with a sword, he heard two loud pops. It is unknown whether the man was frightened or shocked by the black gunpowder.
In short, he took a few steps back, and there was a hint of surprise in his cold eyes.
Didn't both blow up
worthy of being a master of masters
Gu Jiao gestured her hand into her purse and continued to dig it out. In fact, it was gone. She just wanted to bluff the other side, but luckily she did.
The other party glanced at Gu Jiao coldly, performed Qinggong and left.
Gu Changqing looked at the direction the other party was leaving, suddenly covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Gu Jiao hurriedly stepped forward and gave him a pulse.
Gu Changqing waved his hand: "I'm fine, a little internal injury, just take a rest."
He said, his knuckles wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and with the other hand he retracted the long sword into its scabbard, looked at Gu Jiao and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Gu Jiao shook her head.
Gu Changqing whistled, and his horse rushed over.
The siblings got on the horse.
"These people?" Gu Jiao looked at the man in black who fainted on the ground.
Gu Changqing seems to be very experienced: "I can't ask anything, the talent just now is the key. These few are just some small people who use money to do things, and they don't even know the identity of the gold owner."
Gu Jiao nodded.
The siblings returned to Bishui Hutong.
The old sacrificial wine just returned from the Guozijian, and when he saw the pale Gu Changqing, his brows were wrinkled: "What happened?"
Gu Changqing looked at Gu Jiao and said, "I met a group of assassins."
"Assassin?" Lao Jijiu's eyes flicked over the two of them, "Who killed you or who killed Jiaojiao?"
"Assassinate me." Gu Jiao said truthfully.
She jumped off the horse, handed her hand to Gu Changqing, and helped him down.
The old sacrifice wine looked around, pulled the reins of the horse, and said to the two: "You come with me."
…
"You mean that person's martial arts might not even beat your grandfather?"
After listening to the incident, the old sacrificial wine frowned deeply, "Impossible... How could your grandfather be unable to defeat an assassin with his skills?"
"That person's aura is very..." Gu Jiao wanted to say that she was familiar, because she smelled the same kind of breath on the other person, who was a killing machine just like her previous life.
"It's weird." Gu Changqing finished what she didn't say for Gu Jiao, "It's different from the masters I've seen before, with different martial arts skills, different internal strength, and—he has tattoos on his face!"
The man was wearing a mask, but Gu Jiao threw that strange hidden weapon and blew the other party's mask apart.
He saw half a tattoo.
"What kind of tattoo?" Lao Jijiu brought a pen and paper, "Draw it for me."
Gu Changqing drew half a tail.
The expression of the old sacrifice wine changed: "It's the Dragon Shadow Guard!"
"What is Long Yingwei?" Gu Jiao asked.
Gu Changqing has already understood, and his expression has become solemn: "It is the dead soldier of the late emperor."
The old sacrifice wine pondered: "In order to deal with Zhuang Jinse, the late emperor secretly trained a group of dead men, the youngest was only five years old, and he passed them to His Majesty before he died."
Gu Changqing frowned: "Your Majesty wants to kill Jiaojiao?"
The old sacrificial wine waved his hand: "No. Your Majesty loves Jiaojiao very much, and it is impossible to hurt her. His Majesty once gave Long Yingwei to another person to save her from being persecuted by Zhuang Jinse."
Gu Changqing was stunned: "That person is—"
The old sacrifice wine said solemnly: "Princess Jing."
Gu Changqing took a deep breath!
Lao Jijiu: I, the No. 1 green tea in Zhao Kingdom, will never admit that anyone has better tea than me!
