After the emperor spoke, neither Li Chaoge nor Gu Mingke said anything. Pei Ji'an quietly recorded from the side. When he heard that the emperor asked Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke to handle the case together, he couldn't help but raise his head, hesitating to speak.
Li Chaoge Yunying is not married, and Gu Mingke is not yet married. It might not be appropriate for the two of them to go to other states together, right? But the emperor had already talked about other things, and Pei Ji'an knew it was wrong, but he couldn't intervene.
Li Chaoge listened for a while, and was about to find an opportunity to ask how to deal with the murderer, when a servant came in from the outside. The servant saluted the emperor and said softly, "Saint."
The emperor raised his head, glanced at the people behind him, and said, "This is the end of today's discussion, and I will let the servants tell you what will happen next. Go back and prepare first."
The emperor clearly issued an order to evict guests. Li Chaoge, Gu Mingke, Dali Siqing and others stood up together, saluted and left. When going out, Li Chaoge passed by the people behind the servant. When the other party saw them, he lowered his head tightly, raised his hand and saluted, and sent the adults to pass by.
Li Chaoge walked out of Tongming Hall, turned his head, and looked towards the top of the steps. The servant was leading the visitor in, but the figure disappeared soon? He didn't know what he was talking to the emperor.
Li Chaoge had an intuition for no reason. This feeling was unreasonable, but she just felt that the emperor sent them away as soon as he saw them. . This is strange, is there anything that a courtier can hear, but Li Chaoge, a daughter, can't
Li Chaoge stopped in the middle of the steps, Gu Mingke walked past her, Li Chaoge came back to his senses, quickly caught up and asked, "When do you plan to leave?"
"Human life is at stake. Before the murderer destroys the evidence, the sooner the better."
Li Chaoge nodded, following her plan. Li Chaoge asked again: "Then how many people do you plan to bring?"
When Gu Mingke heard this, he couldn't help but look sideways. She glanced at her: "Why do you even ask about this?"
Li Chaoge said frankly: "I have a higher official position than you, and I always have more attendants than you. If I only bring three or four people, but you bring around ten or so, what's the matter?"
Gu Mingke was very speechless. He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. There will never be more than three followers in Dali Temple."
This is just like the words. Li Chaoge went down contentedly, and asked, "Do you know the three governors of Luzhou?"
"I don't know each other. I plan to go to the Ministry of Officials to check their biographical history, their hometown and contacts."
Li Chaoge just didn't want to deal with the bureaucrats, that group of people was more chattery than Dali Temple, and it was very troublesome, so it just happened that Gu Mingke was willing to come forward. Li Chaoge resolved another concern, and said cheerfully, "Okay, then I'll apply for a weapon."
The police, the forbidden army, etc.? Although they worked for the court, the sabers and weapons were all registered? They were not privately owned. Even if the prince's personal soldiers want to perform tasks, they must apply to the Ministry of War for armor, swords, time, place and quantity? Clearly. If there are more than ten sets of weapons and armor in private possession, it is treason.
Luzhou is mostly a sect of the rivers and lakes, and no one knows what will happen when they go to Luzhou. Although it is not necessary to use the bright light armor, it is better to prepare some protective things in advance.
The two of them had just stepped down the long white marble steps in front of Tongming Hall, when a familiar voice came from behind them. Pei Ji'an stepped forward, glanced at Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge, and saluted, "Princess Sheng Yuan, Gu Sicheng."
Li Chaoge's face was frosty, and he said coldly: "The time of the court should be commensurate with the official position, you should call me the commander."
Pei Ji'an looked at Li Chaoge, and finally changed the title according to her intention: "Commander."
Some people entered the hall to talk to the saint, but the idlers retreated, and Pei Ji'an also came out as an admonisher. When Pei Ji'an was in Tongming Hall, he wanted to say, when he came out, he saw Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke walking outside, so he immediately called them to stop.
Pei Ji settled down for a while, and then asked, "You two are really going to Luzhou?"
Li Chaoge laughed shortly, and said: "Pei Zuo collected relics to record the holy words and holy deeds, and the court discussed and satirized, but now it seems that he is not competent. Didn't you hear what the saint said just now?"
Li Chaoge was either on the way to fighting or stimulating others to fight. Gu Mingke took over the topic and said, "Yes. The sage has orders, so don't dare to disobey them."
Pei Ji'an's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but when he finally said it, it turned into?: "When are you leaving?"
Gu Mingke replied: "Three? Days later."
Li Chaoge turned around with a groan: "Who said that? I'm the officer, why should you make the decision for me?"
The expression on Gu Mingke's face remained unchanged, and he smiled casually at Pei Ji'an? Smile: "That's how she is, don't worry about her."
Singer Li Chao is itchy? The anger that had been suppressed in the hall just now showed signs of rising again. Pei Ji'an glanced at these two people, and Li Chaoge could stimulate him with a single word, while Gu Mingke could easily mobilize Li Chaoge's emotions. This is a food chain. Those who are favored are always confident, and those who care more are always at the bottom.
Pei Ji'an felt that he? There was no need to talk about it anymore, even if he chased after him, he was humiliating himself. Pei Ji'an forced a smile? Laughed, and said: "Then I wish the two of you smooth sailing and smooth investigation. Luzhou is a long way away. I hope the commander and Gu Sicheng pay attention to safety."
Gu Mingke nodded in thanks, but Li Chaoge turned his head and left without saying a word.
The two behind them fell into a brief silence. Gu Mingke smiled and said, "Princess Sheng Yuan is concerned about important national affairs, and she is in a hurry to go on an errand. Don't blame me. I have to go to the Ministry of Officials to go first."
What else could Pei Ji'an say, he could only quickly let the two "busy people" leave: "Gu Sicheng, please go ahead."
After Gu Mingke and Pei Ji'an said goodbye, they easily caught up with Li Chaoge without much pursuit. Gu Mingke sighed softly: "This is the imperial court, discussing the matter as it is, in public speaking. The other party is talking to you, isn't it good for you?"
Li Chaoge snorted lightly, and said indifferently, "I'm the third grade, and he's only the eighth grade. It's right for him to say hello to me, and it's also right for me to give him a slap in the face."
After finishing speaking, Li Chaoge murmured unhappily: "I am a princess of the first rank, so it would be considered inferior for me to return the third rank."
Gu Mingke knew he would get this kind of answer. He didn't have any hope, and said: "I don't expect you to be as modest as you are, and be respectful to the virtuous, but at least don't offend others. If you rely on your high position to be arrogant, you will only make enemies everywhere and make it difficult to move an inch. Pei Ji'an's? Father wrote in Zhongshu Province, uncle is in the Ministry of Officials, if you offend Pei Ji'an like this, if it reaches Prime Minister Pei's ears, I'm afraid the imperial decree will not be approved in the future."
Li Chaoge is not like this to other people. Isn't she out of her mind, did the town monster do it? The thing was already offending people, and she made enemies for herself, and she was full? But when she saw Pei Ji'an, she really couldn't speak properly. Li Chaoge originally wanted to keep out of sight, so she avoided Pei Ji'an on purpose? But this person insisted on approaching her again and again. Li Chaoge still remembers the cold pain in his chest when the sword pierced his heart in the previous life. Reborn in this life, she just sneered at Pei Ji'an and didn't do anything, which is already a great self-restraint.
Li Chaoge snorted lightly, and said, "What's the ability to fight for father? Besides, it's not enough for him to have a father and uncle. My father is still the emperor."
Moreover, her mother is the emperor, and her younger brother is the emperor. Not surprisingly, she is also the emperor herself.
Really hard father, who is afraid of whom
Gu Mingke gave up? Forget it. Let them sort out this mess by themselves. Pei Ji'an himself is not afraid of being abused, so what is Gu Mingke worried about
What's up with love.
Li Chaoge returned to Zhenyaosi and walked quickly to the East Hall. A few people in the East Hall were talking to each other. Suddenly they heard Li Chaoge come in, and looked up in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Li Chaoge didn't say much, she quickly picked up something and asked, "Zhou Shao, have you settled on renting a house?"
Zhou Shao shook his head: "No. It was just mentioned in the morning, how could it be so fast."
"That's good." Li Chaoge said, "I don't need to rent for the time being? You go back and pack your things and get ready to go."
Hearing Li Chaoge's words, all three of them became serious. Bai Qianhe sat upright and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Luzhou."
ยท
The climate of Jianghuai and Dongdu is different, it is humid and rainy, there is a lot of water, and the breath is full of water vapor.
Gu Mingke looked up? Looked? The clouds, and said: "It will probably rain tonight, so it's not suitable to hurry. While this is a town, let's find a place to stay as soon as possible."
Li Chaoge raised her head, and it was cloudy all day today. She didn't think there was any difference between the clouds and the morning? How did Gu Mingke know that it was going to rain? However, others were very convinced of Gu Mingke. Gu Mingke watched the weather and astrology along the way, and didn't say he missed it. As soon as Gu Mingke spoke, the others scattered spontaneously, looking for the inn.
Li Chaoge glanced at it several times, but couldn't see it. She reined in the horse, walked beside Gu Mingke, and asked, "How do you know it's going to rain? Rain?"
This question really came to Gu Mingke. Why did the gods know that it was going to rain? What about rain? Gu Mingke thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because I've seen too much? Intuition."
There are rules for the arrangement of clouds and rain in the heavenly court? Although Gu Mingke doesn't care about the weather, he understands the general rules? Li Chaoge's words sounded like a child running to a gambling house to ask why six points on a dice are big and one point is small.
Because, this is what they made? Rules.
The rest of the people dispersed to find a place to stay. After a while, Bai Qianhe came back on horseback and said, "Commander, there is an inn in front of you, and the conditions are not bad. Would you go and have a look?"
"Don't read it? Let's just go here." Li Chaoge was too lazy to talk nonsense, the place Bai Qianhe was looking for, Li Chaoge believed that the conditions were definitely the best, and the price was also the most expensive. Anyway, Li Chaoge was not short of money, so he tried to choose the best place to live along the way.
The only thing they care about is safety. Luzhou is different from Luoyang, strong dragons don't overwhelm local snakes, they come from afar after all, and they don't know the depth. It is best to be careful when staying and eating when you are away from home.
Bai Qianhe rubbed the public's money along the way, feeling very comfortable. He led the way ahead and asked, "Princess, you're going to Luzhou soon? Do you trust me that much?"
After all, Bai Qianhe is a man of the quack, and has inextricable connections with the sects. Li Chaoge, as a court princess, is really not afraid
Li Chaoge didn't care, and said casually: "I heard that three years ago, a person who claimed to be Avalokitesvara stole the heirloom of Feihuamen, the second-ranked school in Luzhou, and was hunted down by Feihuamen all over the world. Why, he ? Returned the things?"
Bai Qianhe laughed dryly and said, "Princess is so well-informed that she even knows such trivial things."
Li Chaoge laughed and didn't bother to pay attention to them. Mo Linlang didn't know how to ride a horse yet, and followed Li Chaoge nervously along the way. When Mo Linlang heard Li Chaoge's words, look? Look? Bai Qianhe who suddenly became wilted, and then look? Look? Li Chaoge who was calm and calm, asked quietly: "Avalokitesvara of Thousand Hands is..."
Zhou Shao pointed at Bai Qianhe, and said with disgust, "He's a certain alias."
Mo Linlang realized "Oh" after a while. It turned out that Bai Qianhe had an enmity with the Luzhou sect. He? This time he went straight to his headquarters. There must be no one present who cared more about the safety of the accommodation than Bai Qianhe. No wonder, Li Chaoge dared to hand over the inn to him with confidence? He was not worried at all about Bai Qianhe messing around.
When Gu Mingke heard these words, he really felt tired. The case has not been investigated yet, and a lot of past events have been involved. Before the Luzhou sect saw it, they had already offended the second local sect. No matter what happened next, Gu Mingke didn't find it strange anymore.
Li Chaoge's curiosity was aroused, and he asked: "Why did you steal the second sect? Is the first sect poor?"
"No." When he mentioned this, Bai Qianhe was very embarrassed, "The ranking in Luzhou is a comprehensive selection of strength, disciples, prestige, and wealth. The one that ranks first? Hidden Sword Villa is very rich. I have visited it several times. They couldn't find where their ancestral sword was hidden, so they had to go to the Feihuamen for the next best thing."
Li Chaoge let out a groan, and Gu Mingke nodded next to him: "Very well, the number one sect has also been offended. Be careful tonight, it's best not to take off your weapons and clothes."
Others work together and cooperate with each other when they set out missions, but they are fine, and teammates manually increase the difficulty.
When we arrived at the inn during the conversation, several people stopped talking and dismounted without a word. After all, their group represents the imperial court, and it is best not to reveal their identities before finding out who the enemy is.
Everyone tacitly changed their titles. They pretended to be a rich family, Li Chaoge was the young lady, Gu Mingke was the cousin, Bai Qianhe, Zhou Shao and the three yamen servants of Dali Temple were the guards, and Mo Linlang was the maid. Eight of them entered the store, and Bai Qianhe came forward to negotiate. After a while, Bai Qianhe came back and said, "Miss, there are many martial arts people here, and the rooms are very tight. There are no eight rooms connected to each other. Yes. Miss, do you see?"
Li Chaoge asked: "How many vacancies do they have?"
"Counting the unfavorable conditions? There are five rooms in total."
Forget it? Forget it, Li Chaoge said, "We're new here, it's too dangerous to live separately, let's make it up for tonight. I, Gu Mingke, and Mo Linlang live in a room alone, and the three of them live in the largest room, and the small one. You live with Zhou Shao."
This arrangement is reasonable, and the rest of the people have no objection, Bai Qianhe stepped forward to make a reservation, and soon, the waiter led them upstairs: "Guests, please go upstairs. This should be your first time here, everyone. Are you going to Luzhou?"
Li Chaoge glanced at him calmly, and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
The waiter in the shop smiled warmly and said: "The sword of Cangjian Villa is famous all over the world. During this period of time, the sword was lost. Although Cangjian Villa tried its best to suppress the news, the rumors still leaked out. Many people from all walks of life went to Luzhou Where are you going, little one? A few travel-worn servants came from a long way, so they guessed that they were going to Luzhou as well."
Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke exchanged glances, and they both noticed something strange. It was such a coincidence that the governor of Luzhou died inexplicably. At this time, the ancestral sword of Hidden Sword Villa was lost
Gu Mingke asked: "My cousin and I are not from the Jianghu. We went to Luzhou this time to visit relatives. We don't know about swords and other things. I don't know what kind of sword is lost. Why are we so violent?"
"Lang Jun is a foreigner, so it's no wonder he doesn't know about these things." The second shop assistant spoke quickly and with cadence, "This sword has a lot of history. Whoever owns this sword will have better fortune and fortune, and even practice martial arts. With the help of God, a single sword can conquer thousands of troops. There are even rumors that this is the sword buried with the ancient emperors, and if you get it, you can win the world."
The expressions of several people in the court became subtle. Can you get the world? Li Chaoge satirized in his heart, he could win the world if he got it, and there are still idiots in the world who believe such words. Li Chaoge embraced the lively heart, and asked: "Really? I don't know what kind of sword this is, but it has such supernatural powers?"
The shop waiter looked around? Looked?, approached mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "This is a secret. I saw that the lady was destined, so I only told the lady. The lady can't go outside and say it. This sword is called Qianyuan Sword. "
Abyss Sword
Li Chaoge was stunned for a moment. When Pei Ji'an killed her in the previous life, Li Chaoge was outraged. She had already reached the state of perfection, so how could ordinary soldiers hurt her? She lowered her head unwillingly, and saw three characters engraved in ancient seal on the sword.
It is Qianyuan Sword.
