[Comprehensive] Travel to the world of martial arts and raise a boss
Chapter 20: Chapter 20
Because of the assassination of the emperor, the entire capital was in turmoil. The governor of Kaifeng and the people from Yushitai were all on the move. It was a matter of the emperor's safety. Their heads were hanging on the waistband of their trousers. Dare to be a little slack in the past, everyone is working hard to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible.
It's also good to explain to the emperor.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Lu Chongming, he just needed to do his part in this tense atmosphere, but he wanted to stay in peace, his current backer, Cai Jing, was not safe of.
It would be a waste to not take advantage of such an excellent opportunity to eradicate dissidents and suppress political opponents.
He has been in the officialdom for decades, and he can climb to such a position, how could he not know how to seize the opportunity.
And Lu Chongming, his favorite student and future right-hand man, was just sent out by him to "commit crimes".
Jinfengdriyulou, a well-known martial arts sect in the capital, is also a force that Cai Jing has tried to recruit many times. The original owner, Su Zhanmu, is a difficult person to deal with. The stronger and stronger, gradually attracted Cai Jing's attention.
A few months ago, Su Zhanmu died of a serious illness. Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly made arrangements to annex the Jinfengdriyu Building in one fell swoop, but he did not expect that the new building owner would be more difficult to deal with than his father. people.
He was just a sick and weak son at a young age, but his methods were extremely fierce. A red sleeve knife obstinately wiped out [-]% of the chess pieces he had buried. The entire annexation plan fell short. Can't you still pack the little ones? !
Since the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower can't be obtained, it should be destroyed. The emperor's assassination this time is the best chance.
Lu Chongming took the long list handed over by the other party, his eyes wandered for a while, and finally fixed on the three ink characters of Su Mengzhen in the first row, his heart tightened, and he pretended to be puzzled and said: "This The second assassination was done by martial arts people? Why did they do this?"
Cai Jing smiled calmly, "Although Zizhou is smart, he is still too young." His eyes darkened, and he said word by word: "The important thing is not whether they did it, but my thoughts. I said they If it's from the Assassins, then they must be."
With a very rude sentence, Lu Chongming immediately understood what he was thinking. He deserved to be an adulterer, and it was in line with what he set out to do.
Lu Chongming's face was expressionless, but he was quite embarrassed in his heart. The list in his hand became even hotter.
However, Cai Jing still said in an extremely deep tone, "It's time for the capital's blood to be changed."
The wind and rain are coming!
The reunion of Lu Chongming and Su Mengzhen took place in the prison of Dali Temple. When the two separated a few months ago, no one would have thought of such a situation.
Through the fence, Lu Chongming saw the other party at a glance. He was wearing white clothes and socks, and the skin on his body was white and transparent, which meant something like the pure and flawless flowers blooming in the muddy corners in the book.
Of course, this sentence must not be known to the parties involved.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Su Mengzhen's cough was a bit hoarse, and the prison was full of gloom. It might not be a big deal to others, but it was definitely a disaster for him, a patient who was seriously ill.
He coughed until he bent down, and the blue scarf wrapped around his wrist was stained with bright red.
Lu Chongming was startled, and hurriedly asked someone to open the cell door and walked in. After waving the people behind him, he walked up to Su Mengzhen, frowned and said, "Is it okay?"
"I can't die!" Su Mengzhen took a breath, and chuckled: "I haven't seen you in a few months, so you're all right, my lord?"
"Not bad." Lu Chongming looked him up and down and said, "I don't think you are doing well."
Su Mengzhen coughed again and couldn't even speak.
Lu Chongming endured it, endured it again, still couldn't hold it back, took a step forward, patted him on the back, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I send a letter to notify you? Why are you still arrested?!"
"Sure enough..." Su Mengzhen coughed and laughed again, although she coughed uncomfortably, she seemed in a good mood, "You really wrote that letter..."
Lu Chongming snorted coldly: "But I didn't expect that someone would be so stupid, and they couldn't escape without knowing it in advance. Aren't you a martial arts master? That's all you have?"
Su Mengzhen smiled wryly, "My lord, stop mocking me. It would be easy for me to escape alone, but I always have to take care of the lives of those under my command."
"There are not too few people from the Golden Wind and Rain Building."
Su Mengzhen was silent for a moment, and a sly gleam suddenly flashed in her delicate eyes, "Since I took over as the landlord, the building has been in great chaos, and it would be good to take this opportunity to rectify it."
Lu Chongming's reaction was not slow, and he understood the meaning of his words almost immediately, he raised his eyebrows, "Use the hand of the imperial court to help you get rid of internal troubles, Master Su is easy to calculate."
He called him differently, Su Meng's eyebrows twitched, and he coughed lightly: "I have no choice."
I'm also helpless, Lu Chongming felt that he might be nosy once, with this man's scheming and martial arts, even without his tip-off, he should be able to get through this difficult time safely.
He and Cai Jing, a little fox and an old fox, are right in each other's shoes.
Lu Chongming said indifferently: "I'm worrying for nothing. If you think that Master Su will be standing here at this moment, you should have already made arrangements."
Su Meng's heart tightened, and he suddenly panicked. This was an emotion he had never felt before. He tried his best to suppress the coughing in his throat, and said as usual: "In any case, I want to thank you in the end. grown-ups."
"No need," Lu Chongming waved his hand and said, "I can't stay here for long, you're in poor health, and I'll ask someone to bring you some quilts later."
The lines on Su Meng's pillow suddenly softened, and he hesitated, "Will this hurt you?"
"Don't worry," Lu Chongming said lightly, "The emperor is assassinated, Prime Minister Cai is always busy, and he still doesn't notice that I'm here."
When Lu Chongming came out of Dali Temple, the sky was already dark, a few stars shone faintly, and night began to cover the earth.
He returned to the mansion in a hurry in an unremarkable blue sedan chair. As soon as he entered the mansion, he didn't even have time to drink tea when the old housekeeper came to tell him that something had happened to Gu Xichao.
Lu Chongming lifted his robe and ran out the door. This time, he didn't even sit in the sedan chair, and straddled his horse and swung his whip directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He hurried along the way, not daring to delay at all. It was clearly late autumn, but his back was already wet with sweat. He was afraid that something might happen to Gu Xichao. That was the "son" he had raised for three years. "!"
The people who came galloping and roaring made the guards of the prime minister's mansion startled, they forgot to stop Tong Tong, and watched helplessly as the other party blew past him like the wind.
Lu Chongming was panting from running, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. When he ran into the brightly lit hall, he saw Gu Xichao standing in the middle of the living room.
"Little Gu!" He yelled, and then saw the boy turn around and throw himself into his arms with a look of surprise.
He hugged him vigorously, looked him up and down, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him.
"Father..." Xiao Gu's voice was pitiful, with a little panic, which made Lu Chongming's heart tense.
He asked worriedly, "What? What's wrong?"
As soon as he finished asking, there was a heavy snort, and a rather unkind female voice said sharply: "What a father and son love each other deeply, but unfortunately you shouldn't ask him this question, you should ask my daughter! "
Lu Chongming followed the prestige, only to find that there were quite a few people sitting in the hall. Cai Jing was sitting at the top, accompanied by a graceful and luxurious woman, and several sons of Cai Jing. Everyone must have arrived, and this made him even more aware that Gu Xichao might have caused some serious trouble.
Except for Cai Jing, who couldn't see any emotion, all the people in Cai's mansion had bad complexions, and Cai San's eyes could even spew fire.
After Lu Chongming looked around without any trace, he cupped his hands at the woman who just spoke and said, "Teacher's wife calm down, I don't know what the dog did to make the teacher's wife so angry?"
"What's the matter?!" The woman stood up suddenly, pointed at Gu Xichao and said angrily: "What did he do, why don't you ask your good son yourself!"
Lu Chongming suddenly felt a headache. This scene was very familiar. He still remembered that every time he went to the Security Bureau, the person in charge would say such a sentence to him bitterly. The location, even the space has been changed, and such a scene will still appear.
He knew that Gu Xichao must have caused a lot of trouble this time, otherwise Cai Jing would not have been alarmed.
He bent down and saluted: "Xiao Gu is still young, stubborn and ignorant, if he really caused some serious trouble, please ask the teacher and his wife to take care of it, everything is because the students can't teach well."
"Stubborn and ignorant? No way to teach?!" The woman yelled angrily, "It's easy for you to evade. Do you know that my daughter's life has been ruined by his stubbornness and ignorance!"
"Ma'am!" Cai Jing frowned and said, "Calm down!"
"I can't calm down!" The woman wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Si Niang is like that, how do you want me to calm down..."
Cai Jing sighed, and winked at Cai San, asking him to comfort the woman, and then said to Lu Chongming: "Madam is too sad because of Si Niang's incident, so her tone is a bit harsh, Zizhou don't take it to heart."
Lu Chongming shook his head, and said, "What happened, please tell Xiang Cai."
Cai Jing pinched the center of his eyebrows and sighed: "Si Niang's face is ruined."
Even though he had some guesses, when Lu Chongming heard these words, he still couldn't help being slightly stunned, "How could it be?!"
The sharp gaze suddenly shot at Gu Xichao, his thin body trembled slightly, but he managed to hold it back.
Lu Chongming stepped away, blocked the oppressive gaze without a trace, and said: "What's going on, tell me clearly!"
His voice was unprecedentedly serious, Gu Xichao had never been treated like this by him before, he seemed a little frightened, and said after a while: "It's Xuetuan, I came to play with my sister today, and I brought Xuetuan too, she saw it I like it very much, I want to hug it, I agree, and then...then..." His voice suddenly dropped, "Then I was scratched..."
Xuetuan was a white fox that Lu Chongming asked him to raise when he was in Yanzhou and was almost skinned. When he came to the capital, he brought it with him.
Lu Chongming looked ugly, "So, you got scratched?!"
Now he completely understood that for a girl, a young girl in her twenties, her face is more important than her life. No wonder Mrs. Cai said that Si Niang's life was ruined.
Thinking of that beautiful woman whom he only met once, Lu Chongming suddenly said, "Can I go and see her?"
"Father!" Gu Xichao's face tightened, and her right hand tightly grabbed his sleeve.
And Cai San, who had never made a sound, couldn't help cursing: "What face do you have to see her now!"
"Shut up!" Cai Jing snarled, "This fact is an accident, after all, no one would have thought that that wicked animal would suddenly violently attack and hurt people!"
His words are extremely majestic, and once he said a word, he was as arrogant as Cai San and did not dare to answer back, but Mrs. Cai, with red eyes, said in dissatisfaction: "How is it an accident?! If he hadn't brought that little beast into the mansion and In front of Si Niang, how Si Niang fell into such a situation is all his fault!"
"You!" Cai Jing was at a loss for words, "You are so unreasonable and messing around!"
"What about you!" Mrs. Cai yelled: "A dignified prime minister, your daughter has been harmed like that, but you don't care, you only care about this student of yours! Is this student or your own daughter important! If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never end with you!"
Cai Jing's face was ugly, and he seemed to want to get angry, but finally he sighed and fell silent.
Mrs. Cai was sad and bitter at the same time, pinching her handkerchief and wiping her tears, "I am a good girl who has been raised for more than ten years, and suddenly she became like this. What do you want me to do? What will she do in the future?" Life? How can you get married?"
"Mother." The three sons gathered around her to comfort her.
"Master!" Lu Chongming's voice was extremely calm, "Master may have forgotten one thing. Si Niang is my fiancée, and I will marry her, so she will not fail to marry, and her future life will be more worry-free. !"
Gu Xichao was startled, and blurted out: "She's not good-looking anymore."
"Shut up!" Lu Chongming's face was cold, and he cupped his hands towards the skeptical members of the Cai family: "If the teacher's wife is not at ease, you can let me see Si Niang now, Zi Zhou is not a superficial villain who only recognizes appearance !"
He spoke with sincerity, and even Mrs. Cai, who was the most reflective, gradually calmed down. She pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "You follow me."
The boudoir of the daughter's house is extremely elegantly furnished, but the scent of rouge in the past and the cinnamon fragrance wafting from the yard are replaced by the pungent smell of medicine.
All the servant girls in the house were dismissed, and the three brothers of the Cai family were also waiting outside the courtyard. There were only Cai Jing and his wife, Lu Chongming and his son in the room, and a woman lying on the embroidered bed in a daze.
The woman's beautiful face was covered with gauze, making it hard to see how serious the injury was. Madam Cai said with a choked voice: "Her whole face is ruined, and it was left behind by that vicious animal." The paw prints, and the wound that happened to be knocked on the broken porcelain when I fell in shock, the doctor said, the wound is too deep, and it will not heal in the future..."
Lu Chongming closed his eyes, gently shook the woman's white and soft hand that was exposed outside the quilt, then suddenly lifted up the hem of his clothes, and knelt down under three pairs of surprised eyes, "She is my fiancée, no matter I will marry her no matter what she becomes, and I ask Mrs. Cai Xianghe to allow me."
Mrs. Cai was moved, "Are you really going to marry her? You won't dislike her?"
"Ma'am, don't worry."
"Okay!" Mrs. Cai said hello several times, all dissatisfaction with him just now dissipated.
Cai Jing also stroked his beard and promised: "When Si Niang's injury is better and the turmoil of these days has passed, I will personally officiate the marriage for you."
……
That day, Lu Chongming and Gu Xichao went back very late. After returning, they comforted the anxious old housekeeper who was waiting, and informed him about the marriage, so that he could prepare early. Lu Chongming, who was tired all day, had a chance to rest.
Rubbing the tired eyebrows, he told Gu Xichao, "Go and rest earlier." He wanted to go back to his room.
As soon as he took a step, someone grabbed his sleeves abruptly, and the stubborn boy asked dissatisfiedly, "Why did you agree to marry her? You said you wouldn't marry a wife!"
Lu Chongming didn't answer immediately, but kept looking at him with a pair of indifferent eyes, and when he looked at him a little flustered, he said: "First, I only said that you don't have to call someone else's mother, but I never said that I would not marry a wife; secondly, even if I have never planned to marry a wife before today, and I have even been trying to find a way to call off this marriage, I will have to marry after tonight!"
Gu Xichao was confused for a moment, then suddenly woke up and said, "Are you saying it's because of me? Because of my father that I have to compromise? No, it's not my fault! I just don't want you to marry another woman." , it was an accident, I didn't know it would turn out like that, no one knew..."
"It's very late, go to bed." Lu Chongming turned around suddenly and stopped looking at him, "I will definitely marry Si Niang, but what I promised you is true, you don't need to call her mother!"
After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves and left, his tall and straight figure gradually disappeared into the night...
Gu Xichao squatted down suddenly, wrapped his arms around his knees, buried his face in the crook of his arms, and murmured, "How could this be? It's not the same at all, it's not the same as I thought..."
The voice was full of remorse and confusion. After all, he was still young and could not be considered human.
"Heh!" The abrupt laughter sounded, especially clear in the dead of night, "I said it earlier, the child's coquettish tricks won't work, maybe it will be self-defeating, who told you not to believe it ?”
Gu Xichao jumped up all of a sudden, glared angrily at the man in white who suddenly appeared behind him, and said, "I want you to take care of it!"
"Tsk!" Bai Mingmo chuckled lightly, "I'm your teacher anyway, why are you so rude?"
Gu Xichao turned around and ignored him, the plan failed, he was already irritable enough, and he really didn't have the energy to deal with him.
Bai Mingmo took pleasure in his misfortune, "I told you everything, how good it would be to kill people directly, otherwise you wouldn't have these troubles now."
"Father doesn't like me killing people."
"Being a good baby is destined not to get what you want. Besides, your father likes you after ruining the girl's face?"
Bai Mingmo shook his head, "I wonder if you are my disciple after all, why do you do such stupid things as losing your wife and losing your army?"
"You're stupid!" Gu Xichao was furious, but the next moment he was discouraged, he squatted on the ground again, and said irritably, "What should I do now..."
"What else can you do besides watching him get married?"
"Father can't marry someone else!" Gu Xichao retorted displeased.
"But you have already lost this round, and it was a complete defeat!" Bai Mingmo pointed out the facts coldly, "Don't tell me, you didn't see that your father was protecting you."
"Of course I can see it." Gu Xichao frowned, "Father knelt down to others." He was very annoyed by this, he knew how arrogant his father was, and his arrogance was hidden in the In his bones, no one wanted him to bend his back, but such a father knelt down to others, and he hated those two people who made him kneel down.
But he vaguely knew that he was the one who made him fall into such a situation, so he even hated himself.
"Okay, don't make a sad face." Bai Mingmo said lightly: "It's just a game that I lost, and I'll try to get it back in the future."
Gu Xi raised her eyebrows, "How do you say?"
"Even if you get married, there will be many accidents."
Bai Mingmo smiled evilly, which didn't match his elegant appearance at all, "The premise is that you get rid of your identity as a good baby."
Gu Xichao shook his head, "Father likes well-behaved children, I won't let him down, but," he said with a slight smile, "As long as my father doesn't find out."
Bai Mingmo was taken aback for a moment, and then murmured: "I really should let him see what you look like now. His expression should be very interesting then."
Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled softly.
Does Lu Chongming really know nothing about this?In fact, that's not always the case, maybe before tonight, he really only thought that Gu Xichao was a well-behaved son, but after what happened tonight, no matter how dull he was, he still noticed something was wrong.
He doesn't want to doubt easily, he only counts the probability, a fox will go crazy sooner or later, but it will go crazy when Siniang is holding it?What are the chances that a woman hit her face on the ground after being frightened, and fell on top of the porcelain cup that was smashed earlier?
It was all too coincidental, and he specifically asked the maid who was serving at that time that Xiao Gu was present when the incident happened.
He has not forgotten that he knows martial arts, that kind of wonderful kung fu, he has learned a lot in the past three years.
Some people may think that it is unbelievable for a half-grown boy to do such a thing, but he will not, because he has Xiao Guai, a child who is more troublesome and bolder than him, so he believes that such a thing, he It is absolutely doable.
For this, anger is naturally there. After all, it is a woman's appearance that is more important than life, and more is doubts. What is wrong with his education that will teach him crookedly?
It's also good to explain to the emperor.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Lu Chongming, he just needed to do his part in this tense atmosphere, but he wanted to stay in peace, his current backer, Cai Jing, was not safe of.
It would be a waste to not take advantage of such an excellent opportunity to eradicate dissidents and suppress political opponents.

"Father..." Xiao Gu's voice was pitiful, with a little panic, which made Lu Chongming's heart tense.
He asked worriedly, "What? What's wrong?"
As soon as he finished asking, there was a heavy snort, and a rather unkind female voice said sharply: "What a father and son love each other deeply, but unfortunately you shouldn't ask him this question, you should ask my daughter! "
Lu Chongming followed the prestige, only to find that there were quite a few people sitting in the hall. Cai Jing was sitting at the top, accompanied by a graceful and luxurious woman, and several sons of Cai Jing.

"What's the matter?!" The woman stood up suddenly, pointed at Gu Xichao and said angrily: "What did he do, why don't you ask your good son yourself!"
Lu Chongming suddenly felt a headache. This scene was very familiar. He still remembered that every time he went to the Security Bureau, the person in charge would say such a sentence to him bitterly. The location, even the space has been changed, and such a scene will still appear.

"Stubborn and ignorant? No way to teach?!" The woman yelled angrily, "It's easy for you to evade. Do you know that my daughter's life has been ruined by his stubbornness and ignorance!"
"Ma'am!" Cai Jing frowned and said, "Calm down!"
"I can't calm down!" The woman wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Si Niang is like that, how do you want me to calm down..."
Cai Jing sighed, and winked at Cai San, asking him to comfort the woman, and then said to Lu Chongming: "Madam is too sad because of Si Niang's incident, so her tone is a bit harsh, Zizhou don't take it to heart."
Lu Chongming shook his head, and said, "What happened, please tell Xiang Cai."
Cai Jing pinched the center of his eyebrows and sighed: "Si Niang's face is ruined."
Even though he had some guesses, when Lu Chongming heard these words, he still couldn't help being slightly stunned, "How could it be?!"
The sharp gaze suddenly shot at Gu Xichao, his thin body trembled slightly, but he managed to hold it back.
Lu Chongming stepped away, blocked the oppressive gaze without a trace, and said: "What's going on, tell me clearly!"
His voice was unprecedentedly serious, Gu Xichao had never been treated like this by him before, he seemed a little frightened, and said after a while: "It's Xuetuan, I came to play with my sister today, and I brought Xuetuan too, she saw it I like it very much, I want to hug it, I agree, and then...then..." His voice suddenly dropped, "Then I was scratched..."
Xuetuan was a white fox that Lu Chongming asked him to raise when he was in Yanzhou and was almost skinned. When he came to the capital, he brought it with him.
Lu Chongming looked ugly, "So, you got scratched?!"
Now he completely understood that for a girl, a young girl in her twenties, her face is more important than her life. No wonder Mrs. Cai said that Si Niang's life was ruined.
Thinking of that beautiful woman whom he only met once, Lu Chongming suddenly said, "Can I go and see her?"
"Father!" Gu Xichao's face tightened, and her right hand tightly grabbed his sleeve.
And Cai San, who had never made a sound, couldn't help cursing: "What face do you have to see her now!"
"Shut up!" Cai Jing snarled, "This fact is an accident, after all, no one would have thought that that wicked animal would suddenly violently attack and hurt people!"
His words are extremely majestic, and once he said a word, he was as arrogant as Cai San and did not dare to answer back, but Mrs. Cai, with red eyes, said in dissatisfaction: "How is it an accident?! If he hadn't brought that little beast into the mansion and In front of Si Niang, how Si Niang fell into such a situation is all his fault!"
"You!" Cai Jing was at a loss for words, "You are so unreasonable and messing around!"
"What about you!" Mrs. Cai yelled: "A dignified prime minister, your daughter has been harmed like that, but you don't care, you only care about this student of yours! Is this student or your own daughter important! If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never end with you!"
Cai Jing's face was ugly, and he seemed to want to get angry, but finally he sighed and fell silent.
Mrs. Cai was sad and bitter at the same time, pinching her handkerchief and wiping her tears, "I am a good girl who has been raised for more than ten years, and suddenly she became like this. What do you want me to do? What will she do in the future?" Life? How can you get married?"
"Mother." The three sons gathered around her to comfort her.
"Master!" Lu Chongming's voice was extremely calm, "Master may have forgotten one thing. Si Niang is my fiancée, and I will marry her, so she will not fail to marry, and her future life will be more worry-free. !"
Gu Xichao was startled, and blurted out: "She's not good-looking anymore."
"Shut up!" Lu Chongming's face was cold, and he cupped his hands towards the skeptical members of the Cai family: "If the teacher's wife is not at ease, you can let me see Si Niang now, Zi Zhou is not a superficial villain who only recognizes appearance !"
He spoke with sincerity, and even Mrs. Cai, who was the most reflective, gradually calmed down. She pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "You follow me."
The boudoir of the daughter's house is extremely elegantly furnished, but the scent of rouge in the past and the cinnamon fragrance wafting from the yard are replaced by the pungent smell of medicine.
All the servant girls in the house were dismissed, and the three brothers of the Cai family were also waiting outside the courtyard. There were only Cai Jing and his wife, Lu Chongming and his son in the room, and a woman lying on the embroidered bed in a daze.
The woman's beautiful face was covered with gauze, making it hard to see how serious the injury was. Madam Cai said with a choked voice: "Her whole face is ruined, and it was left behind by that vicious animal." The paw prints, and the wound that happened to be knocked on the broken porcelain when I fell in shock, the doctor said, the wound is too deep, and it will not heal in the future..."
Lu Chongming closed his eyes, gently shook the woman's white and soft hand that was exposed outside the quilt, then suddenly lifted up the hem of his clothes, and knelt down under three pairs of surprised eyes, "She is my fiancée, no matter I will marry her no matter what she becomes, and I ask Mrs. Cai Xianghe to allow me."
Mrs. Cai was moved, "Are you really going to marry her? You won't dislike her?"
"Ma'am, don't worry."
"Okay!" Mrs. Cai said hello several times, all dissatisfaction with him just now dissipated.
Cai Jing also stroked his beard and promised: "When Si Niang's injury is better and the turmoil of these days has passed, I will personally officiate the marriage for you."
……
That day, Lu Chongming and Gu Xichao went back very late. After returning, they comforted the anxious old housekeeper who was waiting, and informed him about the marriage, so that he could prepare early. Lu Chongming, who was tired all day, had a chance to rest.
Rubbing the tired eyebrows, he told Gu Xichao, "Go and rest earlier." He wanted to go back to his room.
As soon as he took a step, someone grabbed his sleeves abruptly, and the stubborn boy asked dissatisfiedly, "Why did you agree to marry her? You said you wouldn't marry a wife!"
Lu Chongming didn't answer immediately, but kept looking at him with a pair of indifferent eyes, and when he looked at him a little flustered, he said: "First, I only said that you don't have to call someone else's mother, but I never said that I would not marry a wife; secondly, even if I have never planned to marry a wife before today, and I have even been trying to find a way to call off this marriage, I will have to marry after tonight!"
Gu Xichao was confused for a moment, then suddenly woke up and said, "Are you saying it's because of me? Because of my father that I have to compromise? No, it's not my fault! I just don't want you to marry another woman." , it was an accident, I didn't know it would turn out like that, no one knew..."
"It's very late, go to bed." Lu Chongming turned around suddenly and stopped looking at him, "I will definitely marry Si Niang, but what I promised you is true, you don't need to call her mother!"
After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves and left, his tall and straight figure gradually disappeared into the night...
Gu Xichao squatted down suddenly, wrapped his arms around his knees, buried his face in the crook of his arms, and murmured, "How could this be? It's not the same at all, it's not the same as I thought..."
The voice was full of remorse and confusion. After all, he was still young and could not be considered human.
"Heh!" The abrupt laughter sounded, especially clear in the dead of night, "I said it earlier, the child's coquettish tricks won't work, maybe it will be self-defeating, who told you not to believe it ?”
Gu Xichao jumped up all of a sudden, glared angrily at the man in white who suddenly appeared behind him, and said, "I want you to take care of it!"
"Tsk!" Bai Mingmo chuckled lightly, "I'm your teacher anyway, why are you so rude?"
Gu Xichao turned around and ignored him, the plan failed, he was already irritable enough, and he really didn't have the energy to deal with him.
Bai Mingmo took pleasure in his misfortune, "I told you everything, how good it would be to kill people directly, otherwise you wouldn't have these troubles now."
"Father doesn't like me killing people."
"Being a good baby is destined not to get what you want. Besides, your father likes you after ruining the girl's face?"
Bai Mingmo shook his head, "I wonder if you are my disciple after all, why do you do such stupid things as losing your wife and losing your army?"
"You're stupid!" Gu Xichao was furious, but the next moment he was discouraged, he squatted on the ground again, and said irritably, "What should I do now..."
"What else can you do besides watching him get married?"
"Father can't marry someone else!" Gu Xichao retorted displeased.
"But you have already lost this round, and it was a complete defeat!" Bai Mingmo pointed out the facts coldly, "Don't tell me, you didn't see that your father was protecting you."
"Of course I can see it." Gu Xichao frowned, "Father knelt down to others." He was very annoyed by this, he knew how arrogant his father was, and his arrogance was hidden in the In his bones, no one wanted him to bend his back, but such a father knelt down to others, and he hated those two people who made him kneel down.
But he vaguely knew that he was the one who made him fall into such a situation, so he even hated himself.
"Okay, don't make a sad face." Bai Mingmo said lightly: "It's just a game that I lost, and I'll try to get it back in the future."
Gu Xi raised her eyebrows, "How do you say?"
"Even if you get married, there will be many accidents."
Bai Mingmo smiled evilly, which didn't match his elegant appearance at all, "The premise is that you get rid of your identity as a good baby."
Gu Xichao shook his head, "Father likes well-behaved children, I won't let him down, but," he said with a slight smile, "As long as my father doesn't find out."
Bai Mingmo was taken aback for a moment, and then murmured: "I really should let him see what you look like now. His expression should be very interesting then."
Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled softly.
Does Lu Chongming really know nothing about this?In fact, that's not always the case, maybe before tonight, he really only thought that Gu Xichao was a well-behaved son, but after what happened tonight, no matter how dull he was, he still noticed something was wrong.
He doesn't want to doubt easily, he only counts the probability, a fox will go crazy sooner or later, but it will go crazy when Siniang is holding it?What are the chances that a woman hit her face on the ground after being frightened, and fell on top of the porcelain cup that was smashed earlier?
It was all too coincidental, and he specifically asked the maid who was serving at that time that Xiao Gu was present when the incident happened.
He has not forgotten that he knows martial arts, that kind of wonderful kung fu, he has learned a lot in the past three years.
Some people may think that it is unbelievable for a half-grown boy to do such a thing, but he will not, because he has Xiao Guai, a child who is more troublesome and bolder than him, so he believes that such a thing, he It is absolutely doable.
For this, anger is naturally there. After all, it is a woman's appearance that is more important than life, and more is doubts. What is wrong with his education that will teach him crookedly?
