Tianqiong Academy is on holiday today. Gu Jiao heard from a passing businessman when he was going to the market to buy vegetables. Master Guo Shi was returning to Shengdu in the middle of the night. long dragon.
"Do so many people want to see the national teacher?"
The vegetable vendor asked the merchant who was drinking soy milk at the stall next door, and said to Gu Jiao, "Ten knives."
Gu Jiao handed ten knives to the vegetable vendor, and put two fresh big gourds into the small basket behind her.
The merchant gulps down half a bowl, and then he sweats profusely and said, "Isn't that right? It's three miles in line! The carriage almost couldn't pass! If I wasn't rushing out of the city to do business, I'd go there to line up too. Row!"
The last time Gu Jiao went to the National Teacher Hall to inquire about the whereabouts of the National Teacher, Ye Qing, the eldest disciple, told her that the National Teacher would come back at the beginning of the month and at the end of the month at the latest.
It's best not to wait until the end of the month, after all, the longer Gu Yan's condition is delayed, the more serious it will be.
Gu Jiao returned to the house with the food she bought.
"I'm back." Nan Shi Niang looked at the beads of sweat on her forehead, hurriedly took her small backpack and said, "I didn't expect Shengdu to be so hot this year, are you suffocated?"
It was about Gu Jiao's chest binding.
Gu Jiao has grown so good in the past two years, in order to cover the woman's body, she had to wrap her tightly around and around, and Nan Shi Niang was hot for her.
Gu Jiao said, "It's okay."
Tolerable.
Nan Shi Niang said distressedly: "It's really difficult for you, I boiled mint water, it will be fine in a while."
"Nan Shi Niang, I don't want to drink anymore, I want to go into the inner city." Gu Jiao said, "The national teacher is back."
Nan Shi Niang's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Gu Jiao nodded: "Well, I just heard the news at the market, so I want to try my luck and see if I can see the national teacher."
Nan Shi Niang looked at Gu Yan, who was listlessly basking in the sun under the corridor, and understood that Gu Yan's condition could not be delayed any longer: "Is it true that the earlier the surgery, the better the chance of cure?"
"Yes." Gu Jiao said, if it takes too long, the operation may be useless.
Nan Shi Niang did not hold back any longer, and asked Master Lu to prepare a carriage for Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao took the six-nation chess master's token in the room, and she rummaged on the table: "Huh? Where is the token? I clearly put it here."
"here."
Mr. Meng appeared at the door with a bag in his hand, and the token was inside.
"Oh." Gu Jiao walked over and took the kit, "Oh, you took it."
Mr. Meng said casually: "Just, take it. Are you planning to go into the city alone?"
"Yes." Gu Jiao said.
Mr. Meng cleared his throat: "Aren't you taking me?"
Gu Jiao looked at him strangely: "What are you going to do with me?"
Mr. Meng said: "Go to the National Teacher's Hall?"
Gu Jiao said sternly: "The national teacher knows the chess master of the Six Nations, and you will be able to wear it when you go there."
True Six Kingdoms Chess Sage Mr. Meng Lao: "..."
Thinking of something, Gu Jiao said, "No, you still have to go, or you won't be able to enter the city for a while."
However, Mr. Meng really needs to go into the city today. He is going to meet someone, near the National Teacher's Hall, and stop by with Gu Jiao.
Master Lu prepared the carriage. Master Lu planned to use another horse, but the king of the horse beat up Master Lu and his companions together, and then it came out majestically to pull the carriage!
She also didn't forget to put Gu Jiao's small medicine box and small back basket on the carriage. It can be said that the service was very attentive!
After Gu Jiao got into the carriage, Mr. Meng also sat up.
Gu Jiao lowered the curtain and said to Wang Ma, "It's alright, let's go."
Ma Wang opened his mouth wide, raised his front hooves, and ran out with a swoosh!
Mr. Meng was caught off guard, leaned back, and slammed into the wall of the car!
Ma Wang ran swish!
The oncoming wind was blowing, blowing the curtains high, smashing all over the car walls and making a crackling sound.
Mr. Meng was so blown away that he spread his arms to the car wall behind him without any resistance. He felt that he could not open his eyes, even the folds on his face. was blown flat.
What kind of little crazy horse is this!
The carriage is galloping fast on the street, it will overtake when it sees the car, and run forward!
When he stopped to pass the checkpoint of the inner city gate, Mr. Meng had already been blown into a fried lion.
This time, Mr. Meng was not slapped on the head by Gu Jiao and said shameful lines, because the guards who guarded the city let him go straight after seeing the token of the Six Nations Chess Master.
Mr. Meng breathed a sigh of relief.
Ma Wang had never been to the National Teacher's Hall, so he still had to point the way.
After entering the inner city, Gu Jiao sat on the outer seat of the carriage.
Today's Shengdu is particularly congested, and the carriage was blocked in the middle of the road not long after running.
Above a restaurant on the street, in the second-floor wing facing the street, a black-shirted man in his thirties sat in front of the window, looking at the traffic jammed to the limit.
One of the carriages caught his attention.
The carriage itself was nothing new, mainly the horse.
The other horses stayed where they were honestly, but it was the only one who couldn't calm down and looked around to catch butterflies.
"What kind of stupid horse is this?" the man muttered, and in a moment, his eyes followed the horse to the driver.
The driver was a young man in green with a red birthmark on his left face.
"It's him?" The corner of the man's lips twitched slightly, "He actually entered the inner city."
Han Shizi followed his gaze, and soon found Gu Jiao on the carriage, he frowned: "Xiao Liulang? Master, do you know him?"
The man Han Shizi called his master was Nan Shi Niang's former senior brother Qi Xuan.
Qi Xuan looked at the youth in Tsing Yi who was sitting on the carriage and was stuck in a traffic jam, and smiled lightly: "I told you, I met my little junior sister from Tangmen last time. There's one thing I didn't say, there are interesting people around my little sister."
"Is it Xiao Liulang?" Han Shizi was surprised.
Qi Xuan smiled and said, "I think, I guess who killed Nangong Li."
Han Shizi frowned and said, "Don't you mean to say that the murderer is Xiao Liulang?"
Qi Xuan smiled and shook the teacup in his hand: "I can't think of anyone else except him."
Han Shizi shook his head: "How can he kill Nangong Li with his martial arts? Nangong Li broke his arm, but even so, Xiao Liulang is by no means an opponent of Nangong Li."
Qi Xuan said: "He defeated a few Shaolin monks who were training the body last time. I remember that you are forbidden to use internal force in the kicking competition."
Han Shizi said, "That's right."
Qi Xuan smiled and said, "You can defeat the Shaolin body training monk without using internal strength. How many people in Sheng do you think can do this? Also, isn't the autopsy result out? Nangong Li was not injured internally. , he was killed by someone using a branch as a spear to pierce his heart. As far as I know, only the Xuanyuan family's marksmanship can do this."
Han Shizi was startled.
Qi Xuan looked at the young man on the carriage: "When I went to see my little junior sister, I once played against this man named Xiao Liulang, although he only made one move, I can be sure that he used the Xuanyuan family at that time. marksmanship!"
Han Shizi frowned: "Two doubts, one, why did he kill Nangong Li? Two, how could he know Xuanyuan's marksmanship?"
Qi Xuan took a sip of tea: "I don't know, this young man seems to have a lot of secrets hidden in him. Don't you tell me, did the Han family find out that Nangong Li had secretly visited Zhaoguo not long ago? Shengdu came soon after he returned. A few Zhao people, don't you think it has anything to do with it?"
Han Shizi said: "My second uncle guessed that those Zhao people were masters brought by Nangong Li from Zhao country to deal with our Han family. However, if it is true as the master said, Nangong Li died at the hands of Xiao Liulang. , then Xiao Liulang and the Nangong family are not together."
Qi Xuan said with a smile: "The relationship between people is not limited to friends, but can also be antagonistic. Maybe Nangong Li offended someone in Zhao Kingdom, not necessarily."
Han Shizi pondered for a moment, then said sternly: "If Xiao Liulang is really so powerful, then the Han family may be able to put aside their previous suspicions and consider taking him for their own use."
Qi Xuan lightly put down the teacup, picked up a piece of crab roe cake on the plate, looked at the delicate and delicious crab roe cake and said, "I'm afraid you can't buy him."
Han Shizi was puzzled and asked, "Why did Master say such a thing?"
Qi Xuan gestured with his eyes: "Do you remember when you were sacked in the street? Well, that kid did it."
Han Shizi was shocked: "How could it be... him?"
Qi Xuan said: "I found half a Tanghua needle that was broken into the wall at the place where your accident happened. It is my little sister's favorite hidden weapon. It will never be my little sister who attacked you. My little sister three It's more than ten years old, and the figure is still different from that of a young man."
Han Shizi recalled: "The one who attacked me that day... was indeed a teenager."
Qi Xuan said with emotion: "This kid is really not easy, he knows Xuanyuan's marksmanship, and he has learned our Tangmen's hidden weapons."
Han Shizi looked complicated: "It's really not easy to dare to offend the two great families at once."
Qi Xuan looked at the street that was beginning to dredge, his smile gradually faded, and he said solemnly: "Offend? No, he didn't take the family seriously at all."
