Something happened in Luzhou, and everyone rushed to Luoyang with relevant evidence documents and a carriage of swords.
When resting on the road, Chu Mao jumped out of the carriage and looked at the boxes of swords on the wagon, feeling quite a headache. He joined hands with another colleague, and the two men lifted the box from the carriage with difficulty. The box was extremely heavy, and Chu Mao couldn't help complaining to his colleagues from Dali Temple: "Any sword in it is a priceless famous sword, we really don't need to hire escorts? Bring so many swords back to Beijing , what should I do if I was robbed?"
The colleague pulled Chu Mao down and motioned him to look to the other side. In front of the front door of the inn, a group of people came out. Li Chaoge took someone to book a room, and Liu Chumao and the two unloaded the goods. Now, they booked a room and came back.
The colleague lowered his voice, and said to Chu Mao: "How many of these are there? If there are people here, why do you need an escort agency? Do you think the robbers are scary, or are they scary?"
Chu Mao glanced at Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke, then the burly Zhou Shao behind him, the playful and smiling Bai Qianhe, and the gentle and quiet Mo Linlang, and nodded in agreement: "That's true."
There are demon-suppressing divisions? There are people here, not to mention thieves, even demons and goblins can't rob these people.
Li Chaoge walked over with someone, she looked at the boxes on the ground, and asked, "Have they all been moved down?"
Chu Mao and the two nodded: "Yes? The conductor ordered you to count? Count it, it's all here."
Li Chaoge took a general glance and saw that there was nothing missing, so he waved to Zhou Shao and Bai Qianhe behind him and said, "No problem. Please help me to carry the box to the room. The eight rooms connected to Tianzihao, Don't go wrong."
"Understood." Bai Qianhe responded. He walked to a suitcase, rolled up his sleeves, and said to Zhou Shao, "Old Zhou, you move that side, and I? Move this side."
"No need." Zhou Shao picked up the two boxes easily without much effort, and said, "You can ask someone to help you, I? Do it myself."
Bai Qianhe didn't expect that he was rejected by Zhou Shao. Seeing this, Mo Linlang stepped forward and said, "Me? Come on."
"No, no, no!" Bai Qianhe waved his hand, lifted the whole box up by himself, and said, "You can't let the girl do the hard work. Just go back and rest."
Bai Qianhe and the others moved back and forth to carry the boxes, and the strength was not enough? Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke, the two of them checked the things and went back to the room directly. Bai Qianhe moved the last box of things into the room, fell to the ground with great effort, and complained: "It's really heavy."
The inside is all real? Iron, not heavy. Bai Qianhe opened a box, took out a sword, and sighed: "Sheng Hong is indeed a sword idiot, he must have searched for such a beautiful sword for many years."
It is too light to say that the collections passed down from generation to generation in the Tibetan Sword Villa are priceless. Each of these "swords" is a famous sword, and ordinary people should be overjoyed to get one at random, but now, several boxes of "treasures" are all dedicated to the imperial court.
Bai Qianhe couldn't help watching from left to right, they were all martial arts practitioners, even if Bai Qianhe didn't practice swords, he would still like the sword when he saw it.
Zhou Shao passed by his house, saw the situation, and reminded: "She has counted them. If she loses one, she can take off your skin to make a scabbard."
Bai Qianhe thought of Li Chaoge, sighed, put the beautiful sword back into the box with heartache, and said, "I didn't want to do anything, just look? Look?. Where are you going?"
"Go downstairs for a drink."
Zhou Shao can go without drinking water for a day, but he must never stop drinking. Bai Qianhe faced Baoshan but couldn't touch it, and his heart was very pierced. Simply out of sight, Bai Qianhe jumped up from the ground lightly, walked to Zhou Shao's side and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
Mo Linlang knocked on the door, and after a while, Li Chaoge's voice came from inside: "Come in."
Mo Linlang pushed the door and entered, then turned and closed the door. She saw Li Chaoge standing by the window, quietly looking at the mountains in the distance. Mo Linlang asked: "Princess, I have already checked, and there is nothing unusual inside or outside the inn."
Li Chaoge nodded: "Thanks for your hard work. What about them?"
"Bai Qianhe and Zhou Shao are drinking downstairs." Maureen Lang paused and said, "Although Bai Qianhe doesn't have a straight face, he doesn't just care about money, so he is very loyal. .He will not do things like guarding himself or stealing."
"I know." Li Chaoge did not doubt Bai Qianhe. It's true that Bai Qianhe is a habit of stealing, but he can be called a man in the world. Even if he really wants to steal something, he will do it when he is ready to retire, and he will never cheat his teammates on the way.
After Mo Linlang finished speaking, she was supposed to leave, but she saw? Li Chaoge was looking out of the window? She was curious and asked, "Princess, what are you looking at?"
"Look at the scenery." Li Chaoge leaned on the window sill with one hand, pointed to the continuous green hills with the other hand, and asked, "Do you know where it is?"
Mo Linlang looked in the direction pointed by Li Chaoge, she thought about it, and asked tentatively, "Is it Luzhou?"
"No, it's Shouzhou, King Wu's fiefdom."
Mo Linlang frowned, King Wu? She is not clear about these relationships with the royal family, but since she is the prince, then she is Li Chaoge's uncle and brother. Mo Linlang asked: "Princess, do you want to see? See?"
"I? Go to see? What is he doing?" Li Chaoge put down his hands, laughed shortly, and said, "A good-for-nothing who is not loved by the palace, just stays in Shouzhou waiting to die, and me? what is the relationship."
Mo Linlang heard? These? The words were not right, she became careful, and asked tentatively: "Princess, did King Wu make any mistakes?"
Li Chaoge rested his finger on the window, flicked the coffin lightly, and said, "He didn't do anything wrong. His only? Mistake was that he was not reincarnated into the belly of the Queen of Heaven, but the son of Concubine Xiao Shu."
Mo Linlang's eyes widened in surprise, she covered her mouth and dared not speak. According to this, isn't King Wu the half-brother of Li Chaoge
Li Chaoge looked at the mountains and rivers in Shouzhou, and sighed leisurely: "According to the ranking, he should be my elder brother. But then? What? The crown prince is the first son. The crown prince is gone, and there is Li Huai below, regardless of the throne. How could it not be his turn? In fact, it's not just him, everyone in the palace calls me "Eldest Princess", in fact, I'm the eldest daughter of Tianhou, but not my father's eldest daughter."
Mo Linlang was shocked again: "Ah? Aren't there only two princesses in Dongdu?"
An eldest princess, Sheng Yuan, and a little princess, Guangning, are both honored with gold and jade, and are very favored. Where did it come from? Another one
Li Chaoge smiled lightly and said, "Yes, there are only two? She had a son and a daughter, but it was a pity that she offended the Empress later on. Not only did she die miserably, but her children were also left behind. The king of Wu was exiled to Shouzhou for house arrest, and her daughter was even more miserable. She still lives in the palace. You have to be a transparent person. Concubine Xiao Shu's daughter is five years older than me, but she has no title, no princess status, and no marriage."
When Mo Linlang heard about her age, she was really surprised: "She is already twenty-one years old? Twenty-one years old and she is not married yet..."
There is an order in the law that girls must marry at the age of seventeen. If they are unmarried beyond the age of seventeen, the official media will force them to be assigned. Concubine Xiao Shu's? Daughter is an emperor's daughter, and she would never worry about marrying, but she was dragged into an old girl for life. This... this is too bizarre.
"Who made her offend the Queen of Heaven?" Li Chaoge closed the window, walked slowly back to the table, and poured himself a cup of tea unhurriedly, "If you offend the Queen of Heaven, this is the end. They should thank the Queen of Heaven In a good mood, they still have their lives."
Sitting on one side on her knees, Mo Linlang suddenly felt that everything in front of her was strange. She used to think that Li Chaoge was a princess, smart, beautiful and generous. The queen let Li Chaoge do what she liked, and she was also a loving and enlightened pair of parents. In Mo Linlang's mind, the empress's family has always been a model family, parents love each other, rule the world together, two sons and two daughters, brothers and sisters respect each other, the most perfect conception in the drama is nothing more than this. Mo Linlang didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns behind the glamor of the royal family.
Didn't the emperor love his wife and dote on his daughter? A perfect husband, the Queen of Heaven is not a person who cultivates both inside and outside? A virtuous queen, the royal family is not harmonious.
The world loves to talk about the legendary love story of the empress, just because there are many things that have never been put before the eyes of the world.
Maureen Lang was digesting this? Shocking? Reality. Li Chaoge knew that Mo Linlang was different from her, so he didn't say anything further. Li Chaoge held the teacup, stared at the tea leaves inside, and turned it slowly.
She mentioned Wu Wang today, not because she couldn't bear to touch the scene, this kind of boring thing? Only a prince can do it. Li Chaoge really moved his mind because of what happened some time ago.
The two cases in Luzhou have all been declared over, but there is a small detail that has always made Li Chaoge worry about it. Xu Xingning, the third governor, took the initiative to go to Luzhou, no doubt for Qian Yuanjian. Is Qianyuan Sword available to the world? It is rumored that ordinary people pass it by with a smile, but no one in the royal family will really ignore it.
Why did Xu Xingning come to Luzhou to look for Qian Yuanjian? Nowadays, the prosperity and peace, Haiyan and Heqing, the cost of rebellion is extremely high, and it is basically impossible to realize. Xu Xingning didn't seem like someone who could rebel, he was not for himself, then it was for the master.
Who is the defector behind him? Is it really just a coincidence that Luzhou is very close to the fief of King Wu, the son of Concubine Xiao Shu
·
It was midsummer when they set off from Luoyang, and when they came back, the sky was covered with frost and leaves.
The guard at Ding Ding Gate checked the documents, and when he saw the name on it, he immediately solemnly bowed and saluted with crossed hands: "See Princess Sheng Yuan, Gu Si Cheng."
Afterwards, the guard waved to the people behind: "It's Zhenyaosi and Dali Temple, let's go."
Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke rode horses and walked slowly through the Dingding Gate. Behind them, the carriage started, creaking and rolling over the green bricks of the city gate, and it sank after a while. When Li Chaoge entered the city gate, just as a gust of autumn wind swept by, Li Chaoge pulled back his broken hair, looked at the familiar bustling atmosphere in front of him, and sighed, "I'm finally back."
After a long absence for several months, Dongdu is still busy and noisy. Chu Mao walked to Gu Mingke's side and asked, "Gu Sicheng, are you going back to Dali Temple next?"
Gu Mingke said: "No rush, I'm going to go to the palace and return to my life."
"Then? What about this car?"
All the way they pulled the priceless sword from Luzhou back to Luoyang. Fortunately, the road was safe and nothing happened. Now, the ownership of this sword has become a difficult problem.
When Li Chaoge heard this, he said, "I'm going to enter the palace too, so I'll take it directly to the palace and dedicate it to the saint."
The treasure should be presented as early as possible, and when others heard it? Li Chaoge dedicated all the swords to the emperor without blinking, and was speechless in his heart. Princess Sheng Yuan really could afford it and put it down. Those who practice martial arts don't like swords, but Li Chaoge didn't hesitate to take one, so he directly pulled it into the palace.
This kind of attitude that treats money like dung and is not greedy for merit or wealth? It is really admirable! Everyone looked at Li Chaoge's eyes filled with awe, only Gu Mingke glanced at her lightly, his eyes full of understanding. Singer Li Chao pressed the Qianyuan sword on his waist and kept staring at Gu Mingke, motioning him to shut up.
No one noticed? Li Chaoge had a saber on his waist. She is a princess, and she has a lot of private possessions. Changing swords is like changing clothes, no one finds it strange.
Gu Mingke withdrew his gaze, holding the rein with his fingers, and a smile could not help but appear on his lips. Didn't she care about Sheng Lan's early entry? Collection? Because the most valuable? That? One? It's already in her hands. Those sabers in the carriage looked fancy, but in fact, the combined value of all the swords couldn't compare with the Qianyuan sword.
Li Chaoge got the biggest bonus, so he was naturally happy to give himself an image of not being greedy for money. Wouldn't it be beautiful to gain both fame and fortune.
After entering the capital, you can no longer be as lazy as before. Unknowingly, everyone cheered up and escorted the carriage to Ziwei Palace. Zhou Shao rode on horseback and walked by the side of the carriage. He was absent-minded at first, but he vaguely caught sight of a figure from the corner of his eye, and his body froze immediately.
Behind Bai Qianhe's hall, he saw Zhou Shao's expression was not right, he immediately caught up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Shao stared at one direction, Bai Qianhe followed his line of sight and saw a gentle and slender figure passing by. Bai Qianhe wondered, didn't Zhou Shao only focus on his wife, how could he care about it? Focus on the wild flowers on the side of the road? At this time, Bai Qianhe was startled suddenly, remembering that it is October now.
If Zhou Shao hadn't been released by Li Chaoge, now should be the time for Zhou Shaoqiu to be killed.
Li Chaoge heard the movement from their side, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Shao remained silent, Bai Qianhe kept secret, Li Chaoge glanced at the crowd, and quickly guessed the reason.
It was around this time that Zhou Shao was asked to be beheaded in his previous life. Before Zhou Shao went to kill someone, he wrote a divorce letter to his wife Xun Siyu and sent her back to her natal home. But the news of Zhou Shao's murder and imprisonment reached Xun Siyu's ears. Xun Siyu traveled thousands of miles to Luoyang, looking for someone to see Zhou Shao several times. But what Zhou Shao committed was a serious crime, and no one in the jail guards wanted to offend the governor of Jinzhou, so no one responded. Xun Siyu ran around to no avail, and finally met Zhou Shao on the execution ground for the last time.
Li Chaoge sighed when he thought of their final ending in the previous life. In the previous life, Zhou Shao's blood was splashed on the Dharma field, Xun Siyu was also hit hard, and he died of depression not long after. end. In this life, Li Chaoge intervened. Although he didn't have time to prevent Zhou Shao from killing someone, he at least won the opportunity to reduce his sentence.
Li Chaoge remained calm, and said, "Look? Look? You're all dressed in a disheveled, sloppy outfit. The clothes made by the demon town are so exquisite, and they're not for you to spoil. Now hurry up and find a place to put it." Clean it up by yourself, then put on the black uniform, and go back to town to wait for orders from the monster.”
Bai Qianhe raised her eyebrows, knowing that Li Chaoge disliked them for their humiliation on the surface, but actually let them move freely so that Zhou Shao would have a chance to catch up with his wife and talk. Bai Qianhe was the first to respond, saying: "Understood, I? I'll clean it up right now. I won't dirty the princess's place."
After finishing speaking, he reined in his horse and turned around, beckoning to Zhou Shao, "I'll see you in a while, Town Demon Lord."
Mo Linlang had nowhere to go, but she observed people's eyes since she was a child, and soon realized that the princess said this to Zhou Shao. Mo Linlang remained silent and left quietly. The other two left one after another. Zhou Shao let out a long? long? breath, cupped his fists at Li Chaoge and said, "Thank you."
In the blink of an eye, Dali Temple found out that all the demon guards had disappeared. They didn't know why, and they were surprised: "Hey, why are they all gone? The things haven't been delivered yet?!"
There was a lot of noise in the back, but Gu Mingke rode at the front and said softly to Li Chaoge: "If you want to help, just say so. Why do you have to make such a big circle?"
If Bai Qianhe reacted slower, or like Dali Temple? Several people didn't understand at all, wouldn't he be misunderstood because of his good intentions
Li Chaoge glanced at Gu Mingke angrily, and said angrily, "Off? What's the matter with you?"
Ziwei Palace arrived soon. When the guards saw Li Chaoge, they let him go without saying a word, but the Che Baojian couldn't pass through. Weapons are banned in the palace, and a cart of cold weapons is brought to face the saint. What if something happens
In the Tongming Hall, the emperor and the empress are both present. After hearing the eunuch's report that Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke had arrived, the emperor sighed for a long time, "Finally back!"
Pei Ji'an followed the emperor to record. When he heard the eunuch's words, he relaxed and wrote the wrong word under the tip of his pen. Pei Ji'an didn't change his face to fix the mistake, and when he heard? Tianhou scolded the emperor angrily: "Sage, you are really big-hearted. Your daughter who hasn't left the cabinet will be sent to other states to investigate the case. Fortunately, she came back safely. If she Something happened on the road, what should I do?"
The emperor also felt that he had made a hasty decision at the beginning, and when Tianhou was away, the emperor sent the two of them together without thinking too much. Later, I went back to the palace to talk with the Queen of Heaven, and after being reminded by the Queen of Heaven, the emperor felt that something was wrong.
But the words have already been spoken, and the emperor has said his word, and the emperor can't go back on his word, so he can only bite the bullet and stick to it. The emperor has been waiting in the eastern capital for the past few months. He has not seen any news from Luzhou for a long time, and the more he waits, the more flustered he becomes. The emperor thought that there were many sects in Luzhou, and he became more and more frightened. If they didn't come back, the emperor would send troops to rescue them.
Fortunately, there was no danger. The emperor made a mistake and was reprimanded by his wife? He couldn't hold his head up. After the emperor waited for Tianhou to finish scolding, he said gently: "It's because I didn't think carefully. Hurry up and announce Princess? Come in, let me see? Look? Is she injured?"
Pei Ji'an clenched his fingers unconsciously. In the past few months, Li Chaoge was not in the capital, and Pei Ji'an went to the palace every day, and he always felt that a lot of things were missing. When he left the palace, he couldn't help but walk westward. Everyone in the palace thought that Pei Ji'an took a long way to meet Princess Guangning, but in fact, Pei Ji'an just wanted to take a look at Dechang Palace from a distance.
The Dechang Palace belongs to Li Chaoge? The palace, the owner is not there, and the palace is obviously quiet. Pei Ji'an looked at the dark Dechang Palace, and often thought to himself, where is Li Chaoge now, and what is she doing.
Pei Ji'an always tries to avoid thinking about Gu Mingke. Although there are other people in the same company, there are only Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge who are unmarried men and women of the right age. The lonely man and the widow live together for two or three months... Pei Ji'an doesn't want to think about it.
In a trance, Pei Ji'an heard the eunuch's singing, and immediately, two footsteps sounded. Pei Ji'an couldn't help raising his head, and saw? Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke entered the hall side by side. They even walked in unison, and they spoke almost at the same time: "See saint, queen of heaven."
The emperor hurriedly said: "There is no need to salute, get up quickly. Chaoge, you were not injured during this trip, right?"
The emperor said that the etiquette was exempted, but Li Chaoge still went through the whole set of etiquette uprightly, and then said: "Thank you, the sage and queen, for your concern, my son is fine."
The emperor saw that Li Chaoge was full of beards, full of vigor, and he didn't look weak at all. He decided in his heart: "That's all right. Is the investigation in Luzhou very hard this time? Both of you have lost weight."
This is purely from the eyes of the emperor's own father. Li Chaoge ate well and slept well, how could he be tired and thin, but Gu Mingke alone? A cultivator who does not eat five grains, absorbs wind and drinks dew, and his body shape never changes. The emperor can see that Gu Mingke is getting thinner, which is also capable.
Gu Mingke also seemed speechless, but after all, it was the emperor's kindness. Gu Mingke did not refute, and said, "Thank you for your concern, the saint. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order and found out the truth about the successive deaths of the three assassins. The case statement has been written by the minister. In the memorial, ask the sage to have a look."
Gu Mingke took out a memorial, the servant took it, and presented it to the emperor in small steps. The emperor picked up the memorial and browsed it. There was nothing in the hall for a while. Li Chaoge lowered his voice and glared at Gu Mingke angrily: "You? How do people steal the credit? When did you write it? Summary of the case?"
Gu Mingke has lived for so many years, and he has heard a lot of people saying that he is just and fair? Yan Ming, this is the first time someone says he is taking credit. Gu Mingke was extremely helpless. Looking back, Li Chaoge said, "I'm written in the uppercase of "Bright and Upright", so I can't talk about stealing."
"The case was investigated by Zhenyaosi and Dali Temple together. We are the main force. Why are you closing the case?" Li Chaoge's eyes were wide open. If she didn't worry that this is a palace, she would have wanted to shoot the case. up.
Gu Mingke seemed to be patient: "This is Shengqian, I will tell you when I go back."
That's all for slandering him, and brazenly saying that the demon town master is the main force. In the end? Who is really investigating the case? Does Li Chaoge have no idea? It's also thanks to her having the nerve to say so.
Li Chaoge was also furious, but Gu Mingke actually ran away! He spoke nicely, so I waited to go out and explain, but by then the sage had already read his memorial, so what's the use of explaining
Although Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke spoke in a low voice, there are so many people in the hall, not all of them are deaf. The maids and maids watched helplessly as the princess and Gu Sicheng muttered and flirted with each other in a low voice. The maids lowered their heads silently. Pei Ji'an saw that the two of them were obviously getting closer to each other. The hand holding the pen kept exerting force, and the knuckles turned white.
His? Premonition came true. Although Li Chaoge always moved closer to Gu Mingke before, Gu Mingke always kept a distance. Li Chaoge was also obviously interested in Gu Mingke's beauty, and his body did not have much intimacy. But now, the distance between the two of them is much closer, and their eyes interact frequently. When Li Chaoge gets close, Gu Mingke won't hide back.
This is even more difficult for Pei Ji'an to accept than Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke may have had in the past. Pei Ji'an remembered that Li Chaoge was very wary and extremely repulsed others from approaching her. In his previous life, even on his wedding night, Li Chaoge could not accept Pei Ji'an touching her.
Pei Ji'an was like a stick in his throat. In his previous life, Li Chaoge was just Ye Gong's good dragon to him, but it was also a collectible, so why was it different for Gu Mingke
