After Gu Heyan left Mu's house, Mu Zhiming only felt that his heart was empty. He returned to the wing, put the wooden sword away, and was thinking about how to pass this boring day. Wen Heyin knocked on the door and hurried in. In the wing room, a group of voices called: "Master, Master."
"Ayin, what's wrong?" Mu Zhiming wondered, "So anxious."
Wen Heyin said, "Young Master Mo has sent someone to invite you to the Qianji Pavilion."
Mu Zhiming hesitated: "This..."
Wen Heyin was puzzled: "Master, what's wrong with you? Didn't you go straight to Qianji Pavilion excitedly a few days ago? Why didn't Young Master Mo come and invite him today?"
Mu Zhiming smiled embarrassedly: "I don't know when He Yan will return to the mansion, if I am in the Qianji Pavilion when he returns, he will definitely feel lost, and maybe he will be entangled with the reason why I went, so today It's better to decline the invitation, and come to the door to apologize another day."
Wen Heyin: "However, the person sent by Young Master Mo said that the Moon Hunting Crossbow you sent has been repaired, and I will let you go and have a look."
"What?!" Mu Zhiming's eyes widened and he shouted abruptly. He was so excited that he couldn't care about anything. He stood up ecstatically and hurriedly walked out, "Ayin, let's go to Qianji Pavilion!"
The palace is majestic, with tall and tall green tiles and jujubes everywhere. When Gu Heyan was in the middle of the corner, he entered the Xuanzheng Hall to face the saint, and when he came out, it was already the sun and the hour.
Gu Heyan stood alone under the gate of the Palace of Supreme Harmony. There were no clouds in the sky and the sun was dizzy. He looked up at the glazed tiles like golden scales. , Mu Zhiming said to him with a smile: "Look, General, this is the Great Jin you are guarding."
Gu Heyan withdrew his gaze, strode straight across the white marble dragon and nine arch bridges, and walked out of the palace city with his back straight, and rode his horse to Prince Xian's mansion.
After learning about Gu Heyan's visit, King Fu Ji'an asked the servant who came to report the matter: "Could Xuan Ning be with you?"
The servant said: "If you go back to His Highness, no, there is only one general."
"What?" Fu Ji'an was surprised.
Why did Gu Heyan come to find him alone
Fu Ji'an did not dare to neglect, and met with Gu Heyan in the main hall of Prince Xian's mansion.
Fu Ji'an and Gu Heyan exchanged a few words, ordered someone to bring good tea and refreshments, and said kindly: "General Gu, it's been a long time since I saw Xuan Ning waiting, how is he recently?"
Gu Heyan: "He's fine."
Fu Ji'an: "It is said that there is nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall. I don't know why the general came here, why?"
Unexpectedly, when Gu Heyan opened his mouth, Fu Ji'an almost fell off his chair.
Gu Heyan said: "King Su imprisoned Princess Su's concubine Xiang, and using her life as a bargaining chip, threatened to force the commander of the Imperial Army, Xiang Rushan, to launch a coup d'etat and seize the throne."
Fu Ji'an was stunned. He opened his mouth and could only breathe in but not out. He didn't recover from this short sentence for a long time.
However, what Gu Heyan said later made Fu Ji'an even more confused.
Fu Ji'an: "General, this matter is really shocking, and you must not make a conclusion easily. Does the general have any evidence?"
Gu Heyan shook his head indifferently.
There is no evidence, it means a loss, and it means that it is not credible.
Fu Ji'an: "Why do you know about King Su's intentions, General? As far as I know, you and King Su have no contact at all."
Gu Heyan: "Mu Zhiming told me."
"What?" Fu Ji'an was stunned. He pressed his hand to his forehead because of a headache. After a while, he calmed down and raised his head, "But Xuan Ning Hou has not asked about the political affairs since he lost his memory, and only made friends with people from all over the world. Where can he get such news? ?"
Gu Heyan: "He lost his memory and told me the day before."
Fu Ji'an was serious: "General, Xuan Ninghou has lost her memory for a month. During this period, I also met the Queen's Wife. Although the Queen's Wife is timid and introverted and does not like to talk to others, I am sure that she is not imprisoned."
Gu Heyan was silent for a while, and then said something that made Fu Ji'an think he was crazy.
Gu Heyan said, "This is what will happen in the future."
"General Gu." Fu Ji'an held the handle of the armchair tightly with both hands, and then suppressed the urge to stand up because of his fright, "There is no evidence for the guilt, and there is already a suspicion of slander. How can I believe it?"
In the face of Fu Ji'an's accountability, Gu Heyan seemed very calm, he said: "Your Highness Xian Wang, I will tell you what I know, and I don't expect you to believe it immediately, as long as you can set up defenses and plan ahead. benefit."
Fu Ji'an was dumbfounded for a while and asked, "Is the general here just to inform me about this?"
Gu Heyan: "I have one more thing to ask for."
Fu Ji'an: "General, but it doesn't matter."
Since Gu Heyan stepped into Prince Xian's mansion, his expression has been indifferent and indifferent, as if he could stand still in the face of a landslide, but at the moment when he opened his mouth, he lowered his head and made an extremely urgent plea: "I want to ask you Take good care of Mu Zhiming for me."
The first thing Mu Zhiming and Wen Heyin did when they returned to the Mu Mansion was to ask the servants in the mansion, "Has the general returned to the mansion?"
The slave said, "I'm back."
Mu Zhiming held his forehead with one hand.
He asked again, "Does the general know that I went to Qianji Pavilion?"
The servant said: "I know, the general will ask the young master where you are as soon as he returns to the mansion!"
Mu Zhiming covered his face with his hands.
Wen Heyin: "Young master, just right, tell the general the good news."
Mu Zhiming: "I wanted to give him a surprise, not to appease his anger and depression."
Wen Heyin: "Master, as long as it is your intention, it will be a surprise to the general, so you don't need to worry about it."
Mu Zhiming was stunned for a moment, smiled and reached out to rub Wen Heyin's cheek: "When did Ayin speak so well, I'm not as good as you, yes, you're right."
He settled down, went back to the wing, pushed the door and walked in, and saw Gu Heyan standing beside the wide-open wooden coffin waiting for him.
The twilight was all over the room, and the setting sun that slanted westward fell on Gu Heyan, his hair and shoulders were dyed with the afterglow of Danxia, as if bathing in hot flames.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Gu Heyan looked back, and seeing that it was Mu Zhiming, his eyes that were looking out of the window indifferently trembled slightly because of the reflection: "You..."
"I went to Qianji Pavilion." Mu Zhiming took the initiative to confess.
Gu Heyan: "..."
Mu Zhiming stepped forward, pulled Gu Heyan to sit down at the table, clenched his fists against his lips to clear his throat, and said solemnly, "I originally wanted to tell you in a few days, looking for a better day, After thinking about it, I'll talk to you today."
Gu Heyan: "What?"
Mu Zhiming stood up: "Sit here and wait for me."
After all, he mysteriously walked out of the wing, and after a while, he returned to the house with a wooden box, and put the box on the table.
Gu Heyan looked puzzled, looked at the wooden box in front of him, and then looked at Mu Zhiming who was smiling joyfully at him.
Mu Zhiming: "He Yan, guess what's inside."
Gu Heyan shook his head, he couldn't guess.
Mu Zhiming no longer appealed to him, and opened the wooden box.
Gu Heyan took a look inside, showing a look of astonishment.
Hunting Sun and Moon Crossbow lying quietly inside.
An old object, even if it is carefully wiped and cared for every day, cannot be as brand new for decades.
This is the case with the Sun Hunting Moon Crossbow.
Gu Heyan remembered that Gu Miao cherished it very much. Even if it was broken, he still put it on the desk in the study of the General’s Mansion and protected it carefully, but even so, hunting for the sun and the moon crossbow became more and more day by day. old.
The Sun Hunting Moon Crossbow in front of him seems to be a little different.
It has a smooth finish, the crossbow strings are taut, and there are no old wounds from the hundreds of battles.
Mu Zhiming looked at Hunting Sun Hunting Moon Crossbow and said with a smile: "This is the reason why I go to Qianji Pavilion every day."
Gu Heyan: "Could it be..."
"Yes." Mu Zhiming replied with a smile, "I'll ask Qianji Pavilion to repair the Moon Hunting Crossbow!"
Gu Heyan's eyes flashed with indescribable surprise: "Have it been repaired?"
"Yes." Mu Zhiming suddenly turned serious, he sat down beside Gu Heyan, stretched out his hand to hold Gu Heyan's right arm: "Heyan, I know that your right arm is injured and cannot use weapons."
Gu Heyan was slightly startled.
"I've been thinking about how I can help you." Mu Zhiming said softly, "Later, I thought of this Moon Hunting Crossbow that you gave me."
The Sun Hunting Moon Crossbow is as light as three inches of cork. The original intention of making it is to allow the user to use other weapons even with this crossbow on his hand, so this crossbow only needs to be skillfully operated, so even if Gu Heyan's right hand cannot use it. It is still possible to use the Sun Hunting Moon Crossbow, and its power is even better than that of ordinary bow crossbows.
"I didn't expect Qianji Pavilion to actually repair it." Mu Zhiming was excited and asked Gu Heyan, "Heyan, would you use this crossbow?"
Gu Heyan shook his head.
This crossbow was broken in Gu Miao's hands. He had only seen his father use it when he was young, but he had never used it himself.
"It's okay, I've read the blueprint and know the working mechanism of this crossbow. I'll help you." Mu Zhiming carefully picked up the Sun Hunting Moon Crossbow from the wooden box and put it on Gu Heyan's right arm. Five rings connected with strong thin threads are fastened through the five fingers, and the leather is fastened and fastened to the arms.
Mu Zhiming dressed Gu Heyan and said with a smile, "Let's go to the courtyard to try before it gets dark."
"Okay." Gu Heyan nodded and followed him to the courtyard.
After Mu Zhiming told Gu Heyan how to release the crossbow bolt, he looked around and pointed to a camphor tree several meters away: "Heyan, try facing that tree trunk."
Gu Heyan raised his right arm that was wearing the Sun Hunting Moon Crossbow, pondered to find the feeling, and then aimed at the camphor tree.
Both of them held their breaths, only to hear a bang, and the arrow swept out of the crossbow and nailed it firmly to the tree trunk.
Mu Zhiming was so happy that he clapped his hands in praise.
Gu Heyan lowered his head, caressed the crossbow in his right arm with his left hand, showing a thoughtful look, and then raised his hand again.
Mu Zhiming: "Do you want to try to hit something smaller?"
Gu Heyan shook his head.
Mu Zhiming: "Ah? Isn't it?"
Gu Heyan: "Split arrows."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crossbow shot a sharp arrow. This sharp arrow roared towards the tree trunk, and it steadily split the previous arrow nailed to the tree trunk!
It's much harder than shooting small things.
Mu Zhiming couldn't stop his tongue, and after a while he remembered to praise: "He Yan, you are truly talented..." After the praise, he rolled his eyes and said sincerely, "That's great."
But this sentiment was not answered.
Mu Zhiming turned his head to look at Gu Heyan, and found that Gu Heyan was also looking at him.
Mu Zhiming smiled and said, "What's wrong? Looking at me like this, did I seldom praise you before?"
Gu Heyan lowered his head and glanced at the Sun Hunting Moon Crossbow in his hand. It once helped the Gu family to protect the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty. It became famous in Gu Miao's hands and symbolized glory. Later, it was hidden in the high pavilion due to damage.
It was repaired today, is it some kind of destiny
Gu Heyan slowly raised his eyes and looked at Mu Zhiming again, his voice was so soft as if he was afraid of being disturbed.
"There is a war in the northwest frontier, I will leave Beijing tomorrow."
