After Gu Jiao paid her respects to the national teacher in Zizhu Forest, she went to the operating room to see Shangguan Yan's condition.
Shangguan Yan fell asleep, and Xiao Heng said that she was not feeling any discomfort, but that she was a little hungry.
"When mother wakes up, you can eat some clear porridge." Gu Jiao said, and then said, "I'll go to the Guogong's mansion, and I promised Qingkong to pick him up at night."
Xiao Jingkong and Long Yi accompanied An Guogong back to the mansion.
Xiao Heng raised his hand and brushed her hair on the temples: "I'll pick you up later."
"Okay." Gu Jiao responded, turned around and left the operating room.
"Jiaojiao." Xiao Heng stopped her softly, "Are you okay?"
Gu Jiao didn't tell Xiao Heng about the national teacher, but since Gu Jiao could guess it, Xiao Heng couldn't be unaware.
Her emotions are lighter than ordinary people, but as long as she pays attention to a person, even the smallest emotions can't escape her eyes.
Gu Jiao paused at the door, then turned around suddenly, walked in front of him, and put her forehead against his firm chest.
Every time she was feeling down, she would seek comfort in his arms in this way.
Xiao Heng gently embraced her slender waist and stroked her head soothingly with the other hand.
In fact, even if Xiao Heng didn't find out, she could handle her emotions well, but he always found out and comforted her in time.
There was not a word to make her not sad.
She is also human, and she can be sad, sad, or not so strong.
Shangguan Yan slept all afternoon and finally woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her son and daughter-in-law hugging each other.
She opened her mouth.
Well, she's full.
The dog food is unbearable.
Xiao Heng hugged Gu Jiao and comforted her one by one.
Gu Jiao's forehead still pressed against his warm and firm chest, and a pair of plain hands pinched around his belt, which was a sign of a good mood.
"Mother is awake." She whispered.
Xiao Heng's eyes moved, and his eyelashes trembled.
"I'm leaving." Gu Jiao curled the corners of her lips wickedly, turned and left the operating room, leaving Xiao Heng alone to face the embarrassing bag capture scene.
After leaving the Master Hall, Gu Jiao rode on the horseback of the Black Wind King.
In Zhao Kingdom, she also rides the Black Wind King, but the feeling is not the same.
The familiar streets, the familiar atmosphere and the sound of the busy traffic evoke infinite memories.
The selection of Tianxiang Academy, the kicking competition, and the selection of the commander of the Black Wind Rider... I can vividly remember it, as if it were yesterday.
Gu Jiao patted the Heifeng King on the neck and said, "Boss, go to the Duke's Mansion!"
Heifeng Wang carried Gu Jiao and galloped on the familiar street. His aura was too strong, and it was easy to startle other horses. He tried his best to avoid the crowd and walk in the empty alleys.
When one person and one horse were halfway through, a broken tile suddenly flew in front of him. Seeing that it was about to hit Gu Jiao, the Heifeng King turned to the right, dodging smartly.
Then, more and more tiles and even hidden weapons followed.
Someone is fighting.
"Where are you escaping? Today is either your death or my death!"
Gu Jiao frowned, this voice—
"Boss!"
She tightened the reins, her eyes burning like a torch.
The Black Wind King and her had a tacit understanding from the battlefield experience, it accelerated its speed and galloped forward like lightning.
It was a dilapidated small alley, and the wall at the end had collapsed by a third, but it was as high as one person.
Gu Jiao clamped the horse's belly and vacated her body a little. Heifeng Wang jumped and stepped over the wall.
Gu Jiao didn't bring a red spear, but she had other weapons on her body.
She took off the whip wrapped around her waist, waved her hand, and hit the two who were fighting with a crackle.
Among them, the man in black had the upper hand. He stabbed the veiled woman on the ground with a sword. When he said it was too late, his wrist with the sword was suddenly clasped by a strong force.
Startled, he turned his head to look.
The Black Wind King raised his front hooves and stomped him fiercely!
He tried to pull the owner of the whip off his horse, but obviously he didn't have the strength to do so, so he had to turn sideways to avoid it.
On the surface, it looked like he had avoided it, but Gu Jiao yanked him with his backhand, directly pulling him up and slamming him against the heavy wall!
"what-"
The man in black experienced severe pain in his chest and back at the same time. He screamed and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Gu Jiao rolled over and dismounted, and when he was about to get up, she stepped on his chest and stepped back to the ground mercilessly!
The man in black felt that all the bones in his body seemed to be shattered, and his head was knocked on the ground heavily, and his brain was almost scattered.
Gu Jiao ignored his pain and turned to look at the woman beside her: "Nan Shi Niang, are you alright?"
That's right, the person who was chased by the man in black was Nan Shi Niang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
When Nan Shi Niang heard Gu Jiao's voice, she couldn't help but look at Gu Jiao's face again, not daring to recognize it for a long time.
"It's me, Nan Shi Niang." Gu Jiao said.
Nan Shi Niang's eyes almost dropped: "Jiaojiao? Your face..."
"Oh, the birthmark is gone." Gu Jiao said, glanced at the man in black at her feet, and asked, "Nan Shi Niang, who is he?"
Nan Shi Niang stood up against the wall, patted the dust on her body, and came to Gu Jiao's side: "People from Tang Sect."
After all, she moved her fingertips and shot a poisonous needle, sealing the opponent's throat.
Gu Jiao took her foot away from the other party and asked Nan Shi Niang: "Master Nan, what is going on? Earlier you said that you would stay in Shengdu to deal with some personal affairs, is it something related to the Tang Sect?"
Nan Shi Niang sighed helplessly: "It's a long story."
Gu Jiao looked around: "Where's Master Lu?"
Nan Shi Niang said: "He went to kill another disciple of the Tang Sect. I made an appointment with him to meet at Li Ji Tea Shop."
Gu Jiao knew that tea shop, she took Xiao Jingkong to eat the dim sum in it, which was three miles away on Biluo Street.
She said, "I will accompany Nan Shi Niang to wait for Master Lu."
Nan Shi Niang asked, "Will it delay you?"
"No." Gu Jiao shook her head.
Things have priorities, I believe that Xiao Qingkong will not be angry.
The two took the Black Wind King to the Liji Tea Shop and asked for a second-floor room facing the street.
Gu Jiao pushed open the window and sat down with Nan Shi Niang by the window.
The view here is excellent, and they can look at the whole street. If Master Lu comes to the vicinity, they can see him at first glance.
Gu Jiao poured Nan Shi Niang a cup of tea.
"By the way, Jiaojiao, why did you come to Yan Kingdom? And how did your birthmark disappear? I heard that you and A-Heng got married, but unfortunately I didn't make it to your wedding. I'm really sorry." Nan Shi Niang There are too many things to say in her heart. She not only cares about the situation of Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng, but also misses Gu Xiaoshun, Gu Yan and others.
"Actually, that's not a birthmark, it's Shougongsha." Gu Jiao succinctly explained the abbot's drunken oolong accident.
After Mrs. Nan heard it, she didn't know what to say.
Afterwards, Gu Jiao explained the current situation of the rest of them. Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun went to school in Qinghe Academy, Gu Chengfeng became the commander in the army barracks, but did not go to the academy again, and would all join the martial arts in the future.
Gu Changqing inherited the Gu family army and married Yuan Baolin.
Xiao Heng was admitted to the first assistant in July last year. At the end of the year, Yuan Shoufu was in poor health and submitted a letter of resignation. In February this year, Xiao Heng took over as the first assistant.
Both my aunt and my great-grandfather are very tough, and my great-aunt has resumed his original position, and he always goes to the palace to go to the door.
Gu Xiaobao is two and a half years old, a lazy and smart child.
Yao Shi is also all right.
"A-Heng and Jing Kong are also here, A-Heng is in the National Teacher's Hall, and Jing Kong is in the An Guo Gongfu."
Gu Jiao spoke carefully, gently and patiently.
Seeing that everyone was well, Nan Shi Niang was very relieved: "It's good, it's good!"
"But Master Nan, what's the situation on your side?"
"Sigh." Nan Shi Niang touched her face through the veil, "It's all old grudges. Back then when I left Tang Sect, my martial arts were abolished, and I owed both Tang Sect and Tang Sect. I naively thought that Tang Sect had nothing in common. The door will do what it says, and it won't embarrass me anymore. Later, I went to Zhao Kingdom and met you, Master Lu."
Speaking of this, she paused and smiled slightly: "You may have guessed that Master Lu is the Master Lu of Zhao Kingdom. He once received the favor of Feng Lao, when A-Heng came to the door and asked you, Master Lu, to accept Xiaoshun. As a disciple with Ayan, he agreed."
Gu Jiao did have such a guess about Master Lu's identity, so after listening to Nan Shi Niang's words, she was not surprised.
Nan Shi Niang recalled: "I was not disfigured when I was with you, Master Lu. Unfortunately, I was spotted by the Emperor of Zhao State during a lake tour. I don't know what the Emperor of Zhao State thought, knowing that I am a married woman, and I still invite my husband and wife to the palace. He hosted a banquet in the imperial garden for the two of us, and everyone drank some wine during the banquet. I went to the pavilion beside to sober up, and I never wanted to bump into Empress Xiao.”
"And then?" Gu Jiao asked.
Nan Shi Niang picked up the tea cup and smiled bitterly: "Afterwards, we left the table. On the way back, you and I, Master Lu, encountered a wave of chases and murders. My face was disfigured at that time. The murderer escaped, and I have so many years. None were found."
Gu Jiao touched her chin: "Most people would probably think that Queen Xiao did it."
Nan Shi Niang nodded: "Yes, you and I, Master Lu, were suspicious at first, but what if we doubted her? She is the Queen of Zhao Kingdom and the younger sister of Marquis Xuan Ping. how is she."
"Your Master Lu hates Empress Xiao and the source of the tragedy - Emperor Zhao, if he hadn't coveted my beauty and invited my husband and wife into the palace, I wouldn't have collided with Empress Xiao. He no longer serves the court, I've been anonymous since then."
"Not long after your expedition last year, I met the murderer who once disfigured me again!"
