Xiao Heng wondered: "But isn't the small medicine box yours? Why did it appear on Dark Night Island?"
Gu Jiao shook her head: "I don't know."
It was indeed a mystery, and even she had no clue.
The two decided to ask Chang Jing.
"Has your suitcase been on our island? I don't know."
In the garden of Hou Mansion, Chang Jing said with a bewildered face, and then he asked the same question as Xiao Heng: "How did your things appear on our island? You have never been to our island."
If Gu Jiao knew the answer, she wouldn't have to ask Chang Jing, she added, "How much do you know about the first island owner?"
Chang Jing said helplessly: "Dark Night Island was originally a deserted island. After he came, he transformed it into a sect, took in nearby fishermen, and planted comfrey. That's all I know. You want to inquire. About the first island owner, I can only ask my father, even Uncle Li doesn't know much about it."
"Is he a man or a woman?" Xiao Heng asked suddenly.
Chang Jing said subconsciously, "Men..."
Xiao Heng said sternly: "What is a man? Are you sure or not?"
Chang Jing thought for a while: "No one has told me. But aren't the island owners all men? Are there women who are the island owners? If so, can my sister also be the island owner? Then I don't have to inherit Darkness is over."
The two exchanged glances, and Xiao Changjing's child's mood was not on the same channel as them at all.
It's no wonder he's more playable with Clearance.
Xiao Heng said to Gu Jiao, "I will investigate them, you don't have to worry."
"it is good."
Gu Jiao was not a person who gave up eating because of choking. Although the people from Jianlu had sneaked into the capital, it was still how they lived their lives.
After breakfast, Gu Jiao took Xiao Qingkong and got on the carriage for the outing.
Xiao Jingkong shook his calf and whispered, "Jiaojiao, let's not go on an outing, shall we?"
"Why?" Gu Jiao asked.
Xiao Jingkong lowered his eyes and said, "I'm a little tired today."
Gu Jiao curved her lips: "You're not tired."
Xiao Jingkong opened her mouth and was about to say something when Gu Jiao said again, "I'm not that delicate either."
It's just a pregnancy, except that appetite and sleep are different from before, nothing else is different.
These days, she was busy with her own affairs and ignored Xiao Qingkong. He grew up day by day. She didn't want to turn around and find that he was independent, but she missed his growth.
She looked at Xiao Jingkong and said seriously, "I want to go on an outing with you, would you like to go with me?"
Xiao Jingkong looked into Gu Jiao's eyes, and could feel that Gu Jiao really wanted to go. He immediately nodded, "Yes! I like to go out with Jiaojiao the most!"
Gu Jiao was infected by his innocence and fantasized about the appearance of a baby. If it was the same as Qingkong, she thought, she would really like it.
She touched his little head and said, "We will go to the Guogong's mansion for dinner in the evening, and tomorrow we will go to Bishui Hutong to play leaf cards with my aunt."
Xiao Jingkong raised his hands and feet in approval: "Listen to Jiaojiao!"
…
Bishui Hutong.
Gu Yan stood at the door and looked around.
Gu Xiaobao also looked around like him.
"Why?" he asked Gu Xiaobao.
"What are you doing?" Gu Xiaobao asked him back.
Gu Yan was annoyed and amused by his adult's tone: "I'll wait for someone."
Gu Xiaobao: "I'm also waiting for someone."
Gu Yan: "I'm waiting for Xiao Shun."
"I'm also waiting... I'm not waiting for Xiao Shun." Gu Xiaobao waved his little hand after realizing it, and called Xiao Shun like Gu Yan.
"You want to be called Xiaoshun brother, and also, sister is not coming today." Gu Yan hit the nail on the head.
Gu Xiaobao raised his head and looked at his brother unhappily: "she's here."
After a while, Gu Xiaoshun came back.
Gu Yan's eyes lit up: "Is it done?"
Gu Xiaoshun said sneakily, "It's done."
"Show me!" Gu Yan stretched out his hand.
Gu Xiaobao looked at the two brothers in confusion, not understanding what they were doing.
Gu Xiaoshun sneaked something into Gu Yan's arms: "There are so many things on the street, you have to draw and do it yourself, and you don't know if it suits your liking, there's no money left, I'm looking for the most experienced ones. the old master."
Gu Yan said: "Okay, look at Xiaobao, I'll go out."
"Eh." Gu Xiaoshun carried the little guy into the house.
Gu Yan took a carriage to the military camp.
Gu Changqing was watching the soldiers' drills when suddenly a guard walked over quickly and whispered something in his ear. He raised his finger and said, "Got it."
Then he said to several generals who watched the drill together: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The generals looked at him strangely and exchanged glances with each other. This is a big drill once every three months. Is there something big happened? Did General Gu leave the field halfway
He was in a hurry to leave!
Gu Changqing walked quickly outside the barracks, and indeed saw a thin figure pacing back and forth beside a carriage.
"Ayan."
He called him.
Hearing the sound, Gu Yan turned around in a daze: "You, why did you come out?"
Gu Changqing smiled slightly: "Someone told me you came to find me."
"I didn't..." Gu Yan subconsciously retorted.
It's true that he came to find him, but he didn't mention it to anyone. He knew that the barracks was busy, and he didn't intend to disturb him. He wanted to wait for him to come out and meet him again.
Gu Changqing didn't tell Gu Yan that his personal bodyguard recognized him.
Gu Changqing was the cold face of Yan Luo in the military camp, but in front of Gu Yan and Gu Jiao, he was always a doting older brother.
Seeing that Gu Yan's cheeks were flushed from the sun, he hurriedly took him to his tent.
"Bring some ice here," he ordered the guards.
The guard was surprised.
Don't you use these things
"Yes."
The guard took a look at the delicate young master, and his heart became clear. He went to bring two large bowls of ice cubes and placed them on both sides of Gu Yan.
Gu Yan felt the slightest chill.
"Go out." Gu Changqing ordered.
"Yes." The guard stepped back.
Gu Changqing picked up the fan on the table and gently fanned it for Gu Yan.
Gu Yan comfortably raised his small neck and turned it 180 degrees.
Fan here.
Here too.
Gu Changqing smiled dotingly, and slightly increased the intensity of the fan: "Don't you have to go to class today?"
"Today is a holiday." Gu Yan said.
Gu Changqing asked, "Why did you think of coming to the barracks to find me?"
"I..." Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, then took out a mask from his arms and handed it to Gu Changqing.
"What is this?" Gu Changqing took the mask with the hand that didn't need to be fanned, and while looking at it, he did not forget to continue fanning for Gu Yan.
Gu Yan said, "Aren't you engaged? This is an engagement gift for you."
This is a silver half-face mask, which is very light and delicate, and has a novel style. Gu Changqing has never seen it on the market.
He looked at Gu Yan: "Did you hire someone to do it?"
"Yeah." Gu Yan scratched his little ear, admitting embarrassedly.
It seemed that a lot of thought was spent, but Gu Changqing's heart softened: "How did you think of giving a mask?"
Gu Yan pouted and said, "Aren't you a master of the underground martial arts field? I heard that everyone there wears masks. If you don't like it..."
"I like it very much." Gu Changqing said to him with a smile, "I will wear it when I go to the underground martial arts field in the future."
"Bring you too."
"That way, you'll be able to recognize who I am at a glance."
Gu Yan's eyes moved, trying to suppress the joy in his heart, and nodded coldly: "If you insist on taking me, that's fine."
Gu Changqing smiled softly, and his eyes were full of pampering.
Xuanping Houfu.
Xiao Heng went to court today and accepted the canonization of Shao Fu. From now on, he will be the first Shao Fu under the emperor's rule.
When he went down to court, he was surrounded by civil and military officials, and everyone congratulated him.
All of this happened suddenly, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt it was a matter of course.
At the age of thirteen, he became a juvenile sacrificial drinker in the Imperial College.
He lost a little bit of gold and noble youthful air, and more of a steady and calmness.
If it is said that the juvenile sacrifice wine is still a bit dependent on his background, then the later three yuan and the first, the champion parade, and the ranking of the young assistant are all the results of his own efforts.
"Congratulations to Yuan Shoufu, there are successors." Some officials also congratulated Yuan Shoufu.
Yuan Shoufu smiled and stroked his beard.
Another official said: "I think Yuan Shoufu is a double happiness, not only a proud disciple, but also a son-in-law and a son-in-law!"
Yuan Shoufu smiled even deeper.
Yes, two important events that have been troubled for a long time have been settled, and the next step is the wedding of Bao Lin and Gu Changqing. He has to ask Qin Tianjian if he can calculate the good days and auspicious days.
…
Xiao Heng finally emerged from the siege of the ministers, sweating all over.
He returned to the Princess Mansion, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw Shangguan Qing was also there.
He spread a dozen masks on the table and asked Gu Jiao who was sitting beside him, "Look, which one is the mask you dreamed of?"
"You hired someone to do all of this?" Gu Jiao asked.
Shangguan Qing said: "Yes, I gave your drawings to the master of the iron shop. Everyone's drawings are different, and there are subtle differences. Which one do you think is the most similar?"
"Well, this." Gu Jiao picked up the third bronze fang mask on the right.
This matter had already passed, but when I heard that the people from Jianlu had sneaked into the capital again, Shangguan Qing paid more attention to it.
"Aren't you going back to Yan Kingdom?" Gu Jiao asked him.
Shangguan Qing said calmly: "You can come back in a few days later."
He's going to kill the bastards at Lightsaber Lodge first.
He took out the mask that Gu Jiao had picked out, glanced at his stinky brother, and hurriedly said, "You came just in time, you can paint this mask a little more, so that it can be printed and distributed. Let the guards find it."
"Okay." Xiao Heng responded.
Gu Jiao had seen it earlier, and he was dressed in a crimson Shao Fu official robe, which made him more beautiful and graceful like jade.
The young couple stared at each other, even the air was sweet.
Shangguan Qing was about to roll his eyes again.
Am I here for dog food? Enough!
Xiao Heng entered the room and sat down, picked up the pen and paper, and started drawing tools.
What he painted was not just a single mask, but also combined the attire of the disciples of Jianlu and the Xuanyue Sword.
Smelly brother can.
Shangguan Qing glanced at him in amazement and said, "This is much easier to recognize! By the way, how did you get the box back?"
The two looked at each other, and Xiao Heng said calmly, "Secret."
"Cut." Shangguan Qing snorted, "Forget it! However, if they fail once, they will definitely come a second time. Guess, will they come tonight?"
Without the two of them speaking, Yu Ya'er suddenly walked in in a hurry: "Miss! Uncle! Manager Zheng is here!"
Zheng Guanshi is the confidant of Anguogong, and he must have something to do with Anguogong when he comes to the door.
The two hurriedly asked Yu Ya'er to bring Steward Zheng in.
Steward Zheng stumbled into the room. He came to Gu Jiao, his legs softened, and Gu Jiao grabbed his arm in time: "Steward Zheng, what happened, please tell me if you have something to say."
Manager Zheng collapsed and burst into tears: "My grandfather... The grandfather went to the street today to buy a shop for the young lady... In the end, someone from nowhere... arrested the grandfather!"
When Duke Ang went out, he always brought dead soldiers with him, and his martial arts were not bad. If he was able to capture Duke Ang from their hands, it could be seen that the other party was not an ordinary expert.
The three exchanged glances, and invariably had a guess in their hearts.
Sword House.
Gu Jiao asked, "What message did they leave?"
Steward Zheng cried and shook his head: "No... nothing... I grabbed it and left..."
Gu Jiao said sternly, "Where did the accident happen?"
Steward Zheng choked and said: "The east bank of Lihu! I think they are heading towards the West City Gate—"
Xiao Heng's eyes narrowed: "Xichengmen... Are they trying to bring An Guogong back to Jianlu?"
Yes, Jiaojiao is the righteous daughter of An Guogong. With An Guogong in his hands, are you afraid that you won't be able to handle Jiaojiao
They wanted to lead Jiaojiao to Jianlu, probably because they found out that if they wanted to take away the small medicine box, they had to take Jiaojiao away.
"I'm going out, you wait for me at home..."
Before Xiao Heng said the last word, Gu Jiao had already tied her long hair without hesitation.
…
At dusk, a seemingly inconspicuous carriage drove out of the north gate of the capital.
The driver drove the carriage vigilantly, and four attendants rode with him.
Inside the carriage, two men were sitting opposite each other, one was the kidnapped Duke Anguo, and the other was the swordsman who rescued Li Jiangping last night.
The swordsman wore a silver mask to cover his original appearance, but from the skin on his neck and hands, it could be seen that he was not very old, and the moment he opened his mouth, it verified Duke Ang's guess.
Thirty at most.
"An Guogong, I have no malicious intentions, please be patient."
He smiled to be fair to Anguo.
An Guogong was very calm from beginning to end, and did not make any unnecessary calls for help. After listening to the other party's words, he said lightly, "Where are you going to take me?"
The swordsman smiled coldly: "You don't need to know, just cooperate obediently, otherwise I don't mind making you suffer a little."
An Guogong was not frightened by his threat, and said calmly, "You are from Jianlu."
There was a hint of surprise in the swordsman's eyes, obviously he didn't expect the other party to guess so easily, but soon, he laughed again: "As expected of An Guogong, he is very witty."
This is admitted.
Seems to be in a bad situation.
After all, only the dead can keep secrets, and they didn't intend to leave themselves alive.
It doesn't matter if he dies, he only worries that Jiaojiao will be implicated.
The swordsman sneered and said, "Why don't you talk? Are you thinking about how to escape? Don't waste your time, you can't escape. Don't expect someone to rescue you, they all thought we were going to the West Gate, wait. We were already on board when they responded."
An Guogong looked at him indifferently: "Who are you arresting me to threaten? An Guogong's mansion, Xuanyuan's family, or the Dayan royal family?"
"Neither." The swordsman smiled, "We just want to invite your righteous daughter to the island as a guest."
It really came for Jiaojiao!
There was a flash of murderous intent in An Guogong's eyes.
The swordsman looked at his murderous aura and said sarcastically: "Yo, you still want to kill me? What can you do with a cripple? I can crush you to death with the touch of a finger! But don't worry, your body is so weak, I'm afraid that if I kill you, I won't be able to invite your righteous daughter!"
An Guogong asked calmly, "Jiaojiao and you have no grievances or enmity, why are you dealing with her?"
The swordsman smiled and said, "There is still a grudge. After all, I killed so many disciples of Jianlu at the border gate. Of course, those are all disciples of the outer sect. This grudge is not a big one. As long as she is willing to hand it over obediently. What we want, we might consider letting her go."
Putting Jiaojiao on a horse is fake, and asking for Jiaojiao is real.
Anguo said: "What do you want, I'll buy it for you, is it her armor, or her weapon?"
The swordsman said meaningfully: "It's more precious than those things, and you don't understand it."
After he finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and asked the driver, "How long will it take to get to the ferry?"
"Three hours," said the coachman.
"Is there no shortcut?" the swordsman asked.
"Have."
"Let's go then!"
"The short cut is to pass through a forest, and you may encounter wild beasts..."
"We are still afraid of beasts? Take a short cut!"
The swordsman said something, but the coachman had to obey.
Fortunately, they were lucky and did not encounter any danger in the woods.
An hour later, they galloped on the official road in Yushui Town.
"The ferry is ahead, sir, are you sure there is a boat?" the driver asked.
"It's not something you should worry about." The swordsman was not as patient with the coachman as he was with Duke Ang.
"Yes." The driver closed his mouth angrily.
Of course, there is a boat, and everything is ready. They enter the country of Yan by water, and then return to Jianlu from the territory of the country of Yan.
He left a steward to go back to tip off the girl, and as long as the girl wasn't a fool, she should have guessed and went to Jianlu to find someone.
Girl, see you at Jianlu.
The carriage stopped at the ferry port, and a large awning boat approached slowly.
Li Jiangping stood on the boat and waved to this side.
When the swordsman saw it from the car window, he nodded, lowered the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage.
Just as he was about to bring An Guogong and his people down with a wheelchair, a hawk roar suddenly sounded from the silent dome.
The whole night seemed to be torn open by this eagle roar, and the majestic murderous aura surged like a tsunami.
The hearts of the swordsman and Li Jiangping were shocked together, and an ominous premonition swept through their hearts.
The sound of heavy hoofs approached, and the two turned their heads to look.
In the dark night, Gu Jiao came on her horse with a red spear on her back, with the murderous aura of breaking through mountains and rivers, the red battle suit was blown up by the night wind, and the black armor reflected the cold light under the moonlight.
The swordsman was shocked: "This is..."
Li Jiangping had met Gu Jiao, but Gu Jiao in the house was completely different from the man on horseback who exuded the wrath of a killing god, and he did not dare to recognize it for a while.
"Get on board!"
He finally responded.
Gu Jiao rode on the back of Heifeng Wang's vigorous horse, coldly pulled out the bow and arrow in her hand, and shot him into the water with one arrow!
Xuanyuan Sheng: I went to war at the age of thirteen.
Xiao Qingkong: I went to the battlefield when I was ten years old.
Baby: I'm awesome! I started fighting in my numb belly!
