When Gao Zihan saw Gu Mingke, after the accident, he immediately came out in surprise: "Gu Shaoqing is a rare visitor, and Shaoqing and Princess Sheng Yuan are more difficult to invite than the other. I didn't expect that today? Come together. Please come inside!"
Gu Mingke had rescued Gao Zihan when he was haunted by ghosts before, and Gao Zihan was shocked at the first sight of Gu Mingke while he was half asleep and half awake. Afterwards, she inquired about Gu Mingke several times in the name of thanking him, but Gu Mingke lived too reclusively. He was either investigating cases at Dali Temple every day, or reading files in his study. Gao Zihan couldn't meet Gu Mingke at the banquet, and couldn't invite him out. Slowly, he could only give up with regret.
Unexpectedly, I met Gu Mingke himself today! Gao Zihan was overjoyed, and even spoke with a high tone of voice.
Gao Zihan paid attention to Gu Mingke wholeheartedly, and immediately forgot Pei Ji'an, the honored guest just now. Pei Ji'an lowered his head and smiled. Gao Zihan was surprised that Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge, two social insulators, were present together. In fact, it wasn't that these two people met by chance, but Gu Mingke came because Li Chaoge was here.
Pei Ji'an was in a daze, as if not long ago, Gao Zihan and Princess Dongyang hosted a banquet, and Li Chaoge followed Gu Mingke every step of the way. It wasn't long before the situation was completely reversed.
Now the person chasing after him for a moment has become Gu Mingke. Li Chaoge seems to have a magical power, as long as the people caught by Li Chaoge, no matter how repulsive they are at the beginning, they will gradually be fascinated by her.
Even if I don't want to admit it, my eyes and movements can't deceive people.
Li Chaoge, Gu Mingke, and Pei Ji'an stopped at the door one after another. They were not unknown people, and within a short time, they had already attracted many eyes. Gao Zihan handed over the reception to the maid, and he himself took the three of them to the banquet hall.
On the way, Gao Zihan tried to say something, and said with a smile: "When I sent a post to the Pei family, I specially handed a copy to Shaoqing, but Shaoqing's book boy said, "You don't have time. I didn't even prepare. I didn't expect it, sir. Qing actually came."
Gu Mingke glanced at Li Chaoge lightly, and said, "I came here uninvited and disrupted Mrs. Gao's arrangements. I'm very sorry. If it wasn't for the unfinished business, it wouldn't be like this."
When Gao Zihan heard this, he quickly said: "What is Shaoqing saying? What is the matter? Today is Princess Sheng Yuan's host. Everything is convenient. I am happy that Shaoqing can come. It's too late. Princess, what do you say?" ?Yes or no?"
Before Li Chaoge said anything, Gu Mingke said leisurely: "Tomorrow the court will be on holiday, and today the princess is still thinking about hosting a banquet."
Li Chaoge choked, and swallowed back the words that came to his lips. Gao Zihan found that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly smiled to smooth things over: "I've been busy for a whole year, and it's finally the end of the year, so it's time to relax. Listen? Chu Yue said? Shaoqing hasn't returned to the house these few days. Shaoqing has worked so hard. , the Dali Temple case should be over, right?"
Gu Mingke's tone was cold and calm, and he said unhurriedly: "I have to ask Princess Sheng Yuan."
No matter how hard Gao Zihan tried to whitewash the peace, he couldn't laugh at this moment. Her eyes swept over Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge, and she felt that something was wrong with these two people. Is it Gao Zihan's illusion, Gu Shaoqing said? Why is there such a jealous smell of catching rape
Gao Zihan thought that Li Chaoge asked her to hold this banquet, and reminded again and again that young talents should be invited widely, and Li Chaoge's name must not be exposed. Gao Zihan smacked the taste in his heart, feeling a bit greasy.
Could it be that Gu Mingke really came to catch rape? No, when did these two people get together
Li Chaoge was stabbed several times by Gu Mingke, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "You are too small-minded, it's only a matter of time, you just made a special trip to catch up with me."
Gu Mingke said calmly: "What did you do, you know it yourself."
Li Chaoge said angrily: "You were sorry for me earlier, what did I say? What's the matter? A dignified fourth-rank Shaoqing doesn't even have the capacity to tolerate people."
Gao Zihan's eyes widened. The two of them were talking? What are you talking about
Can this be discussed in broad daylight
Gu Mingke smiled lightly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "In terms of generosity, it is naturally not as good as the princess. So, the princess is willing to return the things to me?"
"Don't make trouble, it's all said that I have business today."
Gao Zihan really couldn't listen anymore, so he coughed quickly and interrupted the increasingly explicit chat between the two. Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge turned their heads together, with a pair of cold and indifferent eyes and a pair of bright and captivating eyes, they all looked at Gao Zihan at the moment.
Gao Zihan was overwhelmed by such a sight, she tried her best to control her expression, and said: "Princess, Shaoqing, there are people coming and going here, what do you say? These words are inappropriate. Or, let's go first, and the two of you will change." A clean place? Talk? Talk?"
Li Chaoge thought for a while, the matter of Feitian Tubo involved the national treasure of Tubo, so it was really not suitable for too many people to hear about it. Li Chaoge nodded, and said to Gao Zihan: "Okay, thank you. I may not be able to go back until very late. Please take care of the guests."
When Gao Zihan heard it, "it's very late", how could he not understand? She nodded, with a look of understanding on her face, and said: "I understand, I will watch over people later, and never let anyone disturb the princess and Shaoqing."
Li Chaoge thanked him sincerely: "Thank you."
Pei Ji'an was listening on the sidelines. When he heard the conversation between Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke, he had a bad expression on his face. Now that he heard that they were still going to get along alone, he couldn't hold back anymore. Gao Zihan made a gesture to leave, but Pei Ji'an stood still and asked: "The princess and her cousin are alone, it's not right to be alone. What does the cousin want to say? Why can't outsiders hear it?"
Gao Zihan's heart? Say? Pei Langjun is usually smart, but now? Why can't he react? Gao Zihan looked embarrassed, and was thinking of what words to cover up, when he saw Gu Mingke's serious face, and said lightly, "Business."
business? The expression on Gao Zihan's face twisted, and he quickly smiled and said, "So it's official business, so it's really inconvenient for us to listen? Mr. Pei Lang, Chu Yue and Princess Guangning are still in front of you, let's go."
As the son of an aristocratic family, Pei Ji'an has no choice but to face. Gao Zihan said so? After he came out, Pei Ji'an really couldn't stay any longer. Gao Zihan half-forced Pei Ji'an to leave. After walking for a while, Gao Zihan murmured: "I didn't expect that the two of them would..."
Gao Zihan was very embarrassed. She had heard? said? Li Chaoge favored Gu Mingke before, but Gao Zihan did not expect that the progress of the two of them would be so fast. Gao Zihan is also in the circle of the clan, and he knows best that the love of the princesses comes quickly and dissipates quickly. Gao Zihan thought that Li Chaoge was just a whim, but he didn't expect that Li Chaoge not only got Gu Mingke's high-altitude flower, but also attracted the other party's jealousy, and even chased him to the banquet just to announce his wife Location.
How should I put it? Princess Sheng Yuan is indeed a role model for our generation.
Gao Zihan originally had a good impression of Gu Mingke, but looking at it now, the moon has been picked off by others, and others will only humiliate themselves if they go up to pester them, so it is better to stop here and save some dignity for themselves. Gao Zihan recalled the glimpse at that time, and still felt very regretful in his heart. If someone else robbed Gu Mingke from her, Gao Zihan would definitely fight, but that person was Li Chaoge, and Gao Zihan accepted it after thinking about it.
If it was Li Chaoge, Gao Zihan would admit defeat. Gao Zihan went from shocked to sad to calm, but Pei Ji'an's mood was not so peaceful. Thinking of what happened just now, he said in a cold voice: "Listen? Say? These few days, the town demon boss is very busy, and the princess is busy solving the case. She shouldn't be in the mood to care about the relationship between her children. Those words just now may be a misunderstanding."
Gao Zihan thought about it? To that extent, how could he be misunderstood? Solve the case during the day without affecting the relationship at night. But she is an unmarried lady saying? These words are inappropriate, Gao Zihan smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, maybe we misunderstood, Shaoqing and the princess are indeed here? They are talking about official business."
At this moment, the two protagonists who are "discussed about official affairs" are standing on the corridor, really discussing official affairs. The servants around stayed far away, for fear of hearing something they shouldn't hear. Li Chaoge said with a cold face, "I still want to use the Ye Mingzhu, so I can't give it to you."
"I know." Gu Mingke said? "But tomorrow the imperial court will have a holiday, and there is an order from the Ministry of Officials. This year's event will be completed this year. If it is delayed until next year, it will affect the evaluation of Dali Temple. You first give me the Ye Mingzhu, and I will pass it to you." The Ministry of Criminal Justice has closed the case, and after Fan Yong's case is concluded, you can then apply for evidence with the Ministry of Criminal Justice."
"The group of elders in the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Immortal..." Li Chaoge sensed Gu Mingke's eyes, and changed his words abruptly, "Old? How can I spend time with them?"
Gu Mingke replied: "I will take you to see the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and I guarantee that it will not affect your handling of the case."
Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice used to be the Minister of Dali Temple, so he naturally favored Dali Temple. Li Chaoge smiled at Gu Mingke, but what came out of his mouth was very irritating: "It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Compared with the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, I am more willing to believe in myself. Either you take Ye Mingzhu from me Take it away, or pray that I catch Feitian today? Otherwise, there is nothing I can do."
Li Chaoge said? He turned around and left with an extremely arrogant attitude. Gu Mingke stood at the back, watching her swagger away, feeling helpless in his heart.
Forget it, let her do it again.
Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke's "talking about business affairs" ended, and Mo Linlang finally dared to follow up. She ran to Li Chaoge's side in small steps, and said in a low voice: "Princess, Bai Qianhe dressed up as a servant, Zhou Shao disguised as a wine porter, they have all sneaked in."
"Okay." Li Chaoge nodded, "Let them lie in ambush, watch the crowd carefully, and wait for my order."
"yes."
ยท
In the backstage pavilion, the maid of Fenglailou stood guard outside the door, looking around anxiously: "Sister Lou, are you ready? It's time to play."
In the attic, Lou Sheng wore a veil on his face, tried his best to lower his voice, and said to the woman in front of him: "Help me one last time, after this dance, I will definitely let you go."
A few days ago, Lou Sheng performed on stage for the first time and won a big victory. She had been happily waiting to reap fame and fortune, but she was knocked unconscious by someone in the background. When she woke up, the picture scroll in her sleeve was still there, but the Ye Mingzhu was gone.
Lou Sheng was quite frightened, she thought it was those people who came back to settle accounts with her. Lou Sheng was like a frightened bird, how could he have the heart to deal with the guests, even the auction that day was over.
Lou Sheng waited in fear for a few days, and everything was calm. Later, the daughter of Princess Dongyang summoned Lou Sheng to perform a dance in Furong Garden. Lou Sheng didn't want to let go of this chance of becoming famous, so she bravely took out another luminous pearl and summoned the person in the painting again.
When Lou Sheng still used the name An Jun, he had several guests, one of whom was named Fan Yong. Fan Yong is ruthless, committing murder, arson, tomb robbery and smuggling. Fortunately, he is generous to women. When he was in love after drinking, Fan Yong had no intention of revealing that when he was a government soldier in his early years, one of his accomplices was a tomb robber at home, and he carried a pair of pearls on his body, hiding them like treasures, and never took them off no matter where he went. Later Shuofang mutinied and that man died in the chaos. Fan Yong took the opportunity to take his Ye Mingzhu away and took it as his own.
Fan Yong became a deserter during the "Shuofang" Rebellion, and traveled to many places after that, but this pair of pearls followed him all the time. Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Fan Yong said drunkenly, "The things that are buried with the emperor have good luck. He has suffered a lot of swords and fires all these years, and all his colleagues have been killed, but he is the only one who is alone.
A pearl that can be buried with an emperor, how can there be any defective products? Lou Sheng fell in love with the pair of pearls as soon as he saw them, and then pestered Fan Yong, asking for them in every possible way, but Fan Yong got drunk and gave them to her. Later, Fan Yong didn't show up for a long time, and Lou Sheng changed his name again, and this matter gradually faded away in Lou Sheng's world.
If Lou Sheng hadn't met a few guests from the Western Regions some time ago and accidentally caused a catastrophe, she wouldn't have remembered this pair of pearls. During that time, Tubo envoys came to the city, and because Lou Sheng was a Hu woman, she got on board with the Tubo envoys through her mother's network. The Tubo envoy took her back to the inn for the night. After Lou Sheng took a bath, she saw the envoy solemnly worshiping a box. Big face. Lou Sheng was not convinced. After the envoy fell asleep late at night, she quietly got up from the bed and went outside barefoot to have a look.
He didn't let her watch it, but Lou Sheng wanted to watch it! Lou Sheng opened the box and found a painting inside. She curiously took out the scroll, but didn't notice that there was a pair of luminous pearls hanging on her wrist.
The pair of luminous pearls were buried with the emperor, Lou Sheng was very proud of them, and had been wearing them all these years. When she unfolded the scroll, a strange thing happened. The bright and beautiful women in the painting seemed to be awakened by something, and they all turned into a ray of light, and quickly escaped from the scroll. Lou Sheng couldn't open her eyes pierced by the strange light, she was startled, she instinctively let go of her fingers, and the scroll suddenly fell to the ground.
The scroll grunted on the ground, the light disappeared, and the flying sky on the painting also escaped completely. Only the bottom of the drawing paper was rolled up by the painting scroll, and there was a flying apsaras at the end, before it could fly away.
Lou Sheng slowed down on the ground for a long time. She looked at the glowing night pearls on her wrist, and realized that it seemed to be the effect of the pair of beads.
Lou Sheng looked back at the sleeping Tubo envoy, then looked at the seal on the painting, and suddenly had a very bold idea.
Lou Sheng doesn't understand the customs of the Western Regions, but her mother is Hu Ji, and Lou Sheng knows a little bit about it, and the story of the reincarnation of the Buddha is even more familiar. Lou Sheng recognized that the scroll originally told the story of the reincarnation of the Buddha in a certain life, and the dancers around him were Gandharva, the god of music, and they were called Feitian in Chinese. Feitian is the best at dancing. If she can drive Feitian on the picture scroll, what is the fame and fortune
Lou Sheng made the most daring adventure in her life. She took off the Ye Mingzhu, found a pen on the spot, and drew a red line on the wrist of the last flying sky. Later, Lou Sheng carefully tested the distance of the Ye Mingzhu, and finally found that the two Ye Mingzhus were too effective, and would directly release Fei Tian just like before, and a bead just in place could revive Fei Tian, but made her unable to do so. degree of disengagement.
Lou Sheng controlled Fei Tian in this way, trapped her in his own painting, and the red line on Fei Tian's hand also shifted accordingly. Lou Sheng silently rolled up the picture of Feitian, which was completely blank, stuffed it into the box, and then climbed onto the bed and pretended to be asleep. The next day? No matter how shocked the station was, it had nothing to do with her.
In fact, no one ever doubted Lou Sheng. No matter in the eyes of the Honglu Temple or the Tubo people, Lou Sheng is nothing more than a brothel girl, Fei Tian? The picture was stolen, so could it be her who did it
Lou Sheng returned home with peace of mind, and immediately began to change her appearance. She wanted to create an incomparably noble background for herself. Lou Sheng also knew that the pair of Ye Mingzhus were real treasures, just in case, she put away one of them, and usually only carried the other one with her when she took a bath, never leaving her body.
Unexpectedly, Lou Sheng tried his best to act, but Ye Mingzhu was snatched away. Lou Sheng was frightened to death at first, she was afraid that it was Fan Yong, and she was also afraid that it was a Tibetan, but the other party didn't hurt her life, and he didn't seem to know Fei Tian's secret. Combining all the signs, it seemed that it was just an ordinary thief.
Lou Sheng was so angry that he vomited blood, feeling quite aggrieved that a scholar should be right when he meets a soldier. But soon the Princess Dongyang Mansion invited her to perform a dance, Lou Sheng was reluctant to bear fame and fortune, and finally decided to take the risk and fight for the last time.
After this time, she stopped.
Lou Sheng looked at Fei Tian in front of him sincerely and sincerely, and tried his best to look very pitiful. Gandharvas do not distinguish between men and women, and they are not close to wine and meat. They feed on the aroma. The Gandharva treasure in front of her is majestic, with a graceful face, her eyes are compassionate and indifferent, and a grain of red sand is dotted between her brows, resembling Avalokitesvara. Facing Lou Sheng's pitiful state, she was unmoved at all, and said indifferently: "You said it? After helping you dance, you will let me go free."
Lou Sheng raised his hand and vowed: "I will. But now I am forced to do nothing. You became famous after you danced last time. Now? People from the Princess Palace force me to dance. If I can't dance, they will Will kill me. Gandharva, I can't dance, please? Help me one last time."
"That's what you said last time?" Gandharva looked at her clearly, "Time and time again, endlessly. Donor, the Buddha has five precepts, you must not lie."
Lou Sheng blinked, and when he raised his head, his deer-like eyes were filled with tears: "I was wrong. The Buddha loves all living beings, and feeds the tiger with his body. Why does the Buddha save others, but not me?"
Gandharva was silent for a moment, and finally clasped her hands together, said with lowered eyes, "Okay, one last time."
A triumphant smile flashed across Lou Sheng's lips. She was about to cry just now, but now she suppressed her tears and hurriedly changed her clothes: "It must be the last time, thank you. Remember to dance hard!"
Lou Sheng took off his own clothes and put them on Gandharpo. There is no distinction between men and women, and Lou Sheng has no scruples about revealing his body directly in front of the other party. In the end, Lou Sheng was left with nothing but her underwear. She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, waved to the godmother, and said with her mouth, "Go quickly."
Even at such a time, Lou Sheng still refused to untie the red thread on the hands of the two of them, and then Gandarpo knew that she was lying again. The Buddha once cut meat to feed eagles, and his body to feed tigers. Gandharva was willing to sacrifice her life to personally rescue this mortal woman with a wicked mind.
When Gandharva went out, the red line on her wrist was drawn with brush and ink. After the distance was extended, the line was infinitely thinned, leaving only a faint ink mark, which ordinary people could not notice at all. But this binding thread is "always there".
The guests were seated one by one at the banquet, and Pei Ji'an kept paying attention to the other side. When he saw Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke coming back one after the other, he felt disappointed or relieved. When Gao Zihan saw that everyone was here, he ordered the music to be played. After two warm-up tunes, the dancers from the Western Regions came on stage.
Now this dancer from the Western Regions is known to everyone in the Eastern Capital. Even the female relatives who set foot in the brothel because it is inconvenient have heard that there is an orchid who is very good at dancing in Fenglailou. After the Gandharva came to the stage, the atmosphere of the banquet rose instantly. Everyone stared at the veil on the beauty's face, wondering what kind of face was behind the veil.
In the commotion, Li Chaoge opened his mouth, and immediately suppressed the surrounding noise: "I have heard about Miss Lou Sheng's name for a long time. I heard? Say? A few days ago, Miss Lou Sheng danced all over the city, but I don't want to watch the dance that has already been performed. I don't know. Can I order a new dance today?"
There was a lot of noise around, and Princess Sheng Yuan asked Orchid to change dances on the stage. But on the other hand? This can also best test the level of dancers from the Western Regions. Therefore, the gentleman and lady in this seat did not object, and the gandharva was veiled, without joy or sorrow, and nodded lightly.
Gandharpo still remembers that Lou Sheng asked her not to show her face or make a sound, no matter who the other party was. Li Chaoge didn't care about Wu Ji's contempt. She lightly clapped her palms and said with a smile, "Okay, it's really a high-level artist who is bold and forthright. I suddenly want to hear it today? Yushan, Miss Lou Sheng, please."
Everyone was in an uproar, Pei Ji'an looked at Li Chaoge, and something seemed to cross his mind. Yushan is Buddhist music, and the banquet occasion needs to be lively. What does Li Chaoge order Buddhist music
Pei Ji'an remembered what Gao Zihan had said on the way? However, this banquet was actually funded by Li Chaoge, and Gao Zihan was just arranging for Li Chaoge. In the blink of an eye, Pei Ji'an seemed to understand something, but at this moment the music sounded and the dance had already started.
Gandharva holds the pipa in her arms, plays the pipa horizontally, and dances with the wind. Everyone lamented that this dancer from the Western Regions is really capable, and she can dance while playing. The gandharva danced with the music, stepping on the beat with every leap. Along with the long and repeated singing, a kind of mystery was born. Everyone was immersed in the Sanskrit sound and unconsciously lost consciousness. All I know is to stare at the dancer in the center of the stage.
The sound of Gandharva's pipa became faster and faster, and in the end, it had turned into the sound of clanking blood. The pipa was originally a very murderous musical instrument, but at this moment, the five strings resounded in unison, and the murderous aura rushed towards the face.
And the surrounding guests were immersed in the sound of music, unable to react at all. Seeing that the invisible sword in the music was about to approach the crowd, a table at the top was suddenly kicked over. The exquisite coffee table? Spinning and flying towards the stage, encountered a sound wave in mid-air, and was split into neat pieces in an instant.
There was a loud sound of the table breaking, and everyone woke up instantly, with cold sweat all over their bodies. Pei Chuyue panicked instinctively. She held Li Changle's hand tightly and asked in panic, "Princess, what happened just now? Why did I suddenly lose consciousness, as if I couldn't see anything except dancing?"
Li Changle pursed his lips tightly, feeling equally terrified. Just now, she felt the same way as Pei Chuyue. At this time, the first person stood up alone. Li Changle looked up and saw Li Chaoge standing in front of the seat in a red dress, holding a heavy sword in his hand. He could feel the murderous aura above him from such a distance.
It was Li Chaoge who kicked down that table just now.
Seeing that one blow was impossible, Gandharva stopped covering up, and floated leisurely, hanging in the air out of thin air. Surprised all around, Li Chaoge drew his sword with a clang, and said in a cold voice, "Do it."
