Xiao Xiao leaned on a railing, drank with a sword, and spent ten years in the rivers and lakes in the night rain.

Outside Jinlan Jinyuan, the imperial capital, bid farewell and go, no one in the world knows you.

In the spacious front yard of the Jing Mansion with beautiful scenery, Gu Huaiyu, Xue Jia and his party gradually sent people to the gate of the mansion.

The young master Ji Zhunji, who had already packed his bags and packed his luggage, patted his horse's back. He was dressed in a white and gray tunic, with a short knife in his waist, and smiled heartily at them: "Okay, I will see you off for thousands of miles, and I will have to say goodbye at the end. You and Xue Jia will just send us to the gate. We will go on our own in the future."

Yue Lang, who was still dressed in black, nodded silently, echoing Ji Zhun's opinion.

A few days ago, Yuelang had formally terminated the seven-year contract with Gu Huaiyu, and decided to accompany Ji Zhun, who likes to be lively and carefree, to wander the rivers and lakes.As long as you stay with this person, even if you live in the wind and sleep in the open in the future, the world will be your home.

Gu Huaiyu looked at Yue Lang, then at Ji Zhun, and felt that the scene of the first encounter many years ago appeared in front of his eyes for a moment, and then quickly faded away like ink, leaving only a daze.

Although there is still a little sadness in his heart, Gu Huaiyu's eyes still have a real smile: "Okay. Then you all remember to take care of yourself along the way."

"Yuelang, you have excellent martial arts skills, and you are careful and prudent. Be careful on the road in the future," he joked, "I will entrust you with the important task of keeping the two of you safe."

Ji Zhun curled his lips on purpose, raised his eyebrows and said, "What about me? I don't have any good points?"

Gu Huaiyu continued to laugh and said: "Ah Ji, you have always been out of your mind, but you are no better outside than at home." After thinking about it, he still smiled and said, "You must not be too willful, lest you will not be able to close the game."

Ji Zhun turned his face away in anger, leaving half of the back of his head to him.

Yue Lang nodded, and promised in a deep voice: "I will take good care of him outside."

When Ji Zhun heard this, he jumped up and grabbed his neck: "Who needs you to take care of him? The young master is so handsome, calm and careful, and you still take care of me? I take care of you. "

Yue Lang just smiled kindly and let him go without saying a word.

In the end, Gu Huaiyu slowly put away his smile, and his expression became serious: "No matter where you go or what happens to you, when you want to come back, my Gu family's door will always be open for you."

Xue Jia, who had been watching quietly with a smile, also smiled and added at this time: "If you can't find us in Wangjing, then go to Yuncheng. Take care all the way, we welcome you back anytime."

Ji Zhun waved his hands, and made a standard farewell ceremony to them: "Okay, then we will have green mountains and green waters, and we will meet later."

Yuelang, who has always been taciturn and cherishes words like gold, also clasped his fists and said: "Green mountains and green waters, there will be a period later."

Gu Huaiyu and Xue Jia raised their eyebrows and smiled, and they also clasped their fists in return, feeling that time flies by with pride: "Green mountains and green waters, there will be a period later."

The future is long, and there will always be a day when we will meet again in the future.

A few days after the two of Yue Ji left, Gu Huaiyu came to visit the right minister of the court.

In the quiet and tidy study room with sparse flowers and trees, the young master Xiao sat behind the sapphire case and held a pen as a knife. While listening to him, he wrote with a knife to make a decision on the court.After he finished speaking, Young Master Xiao also wrote the last word with a long stroke of ink, and then he slowly raised his head to look at Gu Huaiyu, and said calmly: "So, you are determined to return to Yuncheng gone?"

Gu Huaiyu stood tall and straight behind Young Master Xiao's case, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, but his face was calm, he nodded and said, "Back to Young Master, this subordinate has already considered it."

He has decided to tear off the skin on his face, restore his old face and return to his hometown.

Xiao Ronglian nodded slightly, and didn't say yes or no for a while. After the air was quiet for a while, he tapped the case with his fingers slightly: "It's not necessarily bad, since you plan to return to Yuncheng to land Take root, then go back." Before Gu Huaiyu could say anything, he continued unhurriedly: "Take all your family assets and go back. Within three years, I want you to become a partner with your brother, Like the Gu family in Yuncheng, they are giant businessmen standing shoulder to shoulder."

"If you wish, you can still keep the title of 'Ming Guang'. There will be no more latecomers."

It was just a word from young master Xiao today that created the famous "Shuanggu in Yuncheng" that lasted for many years in the future.

Gu Huaiyu was slightly startled, but quickly reacted, put one hand on his shoulder and bowed slightly, and said respectfully to Xiao Ronglian: "Thank you, young master."

When he was just getting up, he heard someone knocking on the door of the study room. The young master's portrait had already known who would come, so he didn't shy away from it, and said calmly: "Come in."

Gu Huaiyu turned his head slightly, and saw a man in a black cloak gently pushing the door in. The man had a black hood on his head, covering most of his face, and only one chin could be seen.

Gu Huaiyu inexplicably felt a little familiar. Judging from his figure, this person... seemed to be the member of the secret character department, Dark Eagle, who came to Prince Xiao with him to receive orders from Emperor Cheng when he wanted to establish a crown prince.

Seeing young master Xiao flicking a hand away from him, he said with a slight smile, "Since he's here, you might as well get to know him."

The eight members of the plain characters are all placed on the bright side, and generally the dark characters know some of the clear characters, and the bright characters rarely know the situation of the dark characters.It seemed that the other party probably knew him a long time ago.

Gu Huaiyu turned sideways and looked up, and saw the man slowly take off the hood on his head, revealing a pair of familiar eyebrows under the cloak.Gu Huaiyu stayed where he was, and a series of causes and effects were connected in his mind in an instant like lightning and flint, which made him a little stunned for a while. He fixedly looked at that person, and said softly: "Ouyang?"

The man smiled casually at him, with the same loose and casual expression as many years ago: "It's me."

After Ouyang Jian reported the matter to Young Master Xiao, the two made an appointment together, strolled in the courtyard of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and walked out as if talking.

In fact, when Gu Huaiyu came to Wangjing from Yuncheng, he had contacted Ouyang Jian. He knew that the other party had opened Qunyulou in Wangjing, and he never evaded his identity as a right-hand disciple to him.It's just that he never talked with the other party about the tasks he took over, just as he never asked the other party how they managed to occupy such a large property in the imperial capital where the forces are intertwined.Although the two of them were not in close contact, Gu Huaiyu occasionally took Xue Jia to have a small gathering with him, and sometimes when something happened, the two would take care of each other, and they could be regarded as good friends.

It's just that he never thought that the other party would join Young Master Xiao's subordinates.

...probably much earlier than him.

Ouyang Jian was born as a concubine. Among the many children in the family, he was neither favored nor conspicuous. It seemed that he had always been mediocre.Even if he is very intelligent innately, but lacks special advice from the day after tomorrow, no matter how scheming he is, he may not be able to get ahead in Ouyang's house where dragons and snakes are mixed.

He once speculated that who was behind the scenes stretched out his hand to the seemingly dandy and prodigal son of the Ouyang family, and pulled him out of the chaotic quagmire of the Ouyang family?

Now he knows.

Many years later, while the nephews of the Ouyang family were still fighting for the huge property within the Ouyang family, he took the property cut off from the Ouyang family a few years ago and easily withdrew from it. Relying on himself in the imperial capital, he built a foundation that belongs to him alone.

Gu Huaiyu sighed slightly in his heart, but said with a relaxed smile on his face: "Then you won't go back to Yuncheng in the future?"

Ouyang Jian casually pulled up the hood on the back of his head, and smiled casually: "Yes, what are you going back to do? The person I care about is an official in Wangjing, and if he stays here for a day, I will stay for a day; When he goes to other places to take up his post, I will accompany him to the field.”

Gu Huaiyu also smiled lightly: "It's naturally good to sing and follow."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Ouyang Jian pause, and said again: "...But it's not like he won't go back at all."

"During the drastic change in Wangjing this time, King Xiang went to Anhua's place as a guest. It was Anhua who reacted immediately, took King Xiang in disguise to avoid the guards, and ran to my place to hide. After the turmoil subsided, King Xiang knew that the Xiao family The party once raided and slaughtered the royal family in Wangjing, and thanked Anhua very much, saying that he was willing to repay Anhua for his kindness. Anhua did not refuse, so he made a request to him. "

King Xiang is the sixth son of the first emperor, and he once had a battle with Emperor Cheng for the throne. However, after Emperor Cheng ascended the throne, he never acted as a demon, and honestly acted as a pawn under the eyes of Emperor Cheng. He is a prince of Taiping, who has always had a good relationship with Emperor Cheng, and is also a royal family member who speaks a lot.

Since he said he wanted to repay his kindness, he naturally wouldn't lie.

Seeing that Ouyang Jian said that he made a request, he paused here, obviously there is more to the following, Gu Huaiyu caught a glimpse of the smug smile on his face, and asked a little funny: "What request did you make?"

Gu Huaiyu raised his brows, his eyes sparkled with happiness and contentment: "If King Xiang meets His Majesty in private, he will ask His Majesty to marry you and me."

Gu Huaiyu was slightly taken aback, then thought of the Shen family in Yuncheng, and Ouyang Jian's unwavering company with Shen Anhua all these years, finally cupped his hands and smiled, "Then I'll congratulate you here first."

He thought for a while, and asked one more question: "Then who will marry whom?"

Ouyang Jian said casually: "Of course I married into the Shen family." At this point, he turned his face and glanced at Gu Huaiyu, and said with a half-smile, "Why? Can the Shen family marry their eldest son and grandson?" ?"

There was some unspeakable flirtatiousness in that look, but it was no longer frivolous in the past.

Although he had already guessed in his heart, Gu Huaiyu was still a little surprised. No matter how you look at it... Ouyang doesn't look like the one who is lying on the ground.If this is the case, he can be called open-minded.

Gu Huaiyu then laughed and said: "Ouyang is a real temperamental person."

However, Ouyang Jian said indifferently: "I am in love with him. I have experienced many turmoil along the way. As for who will marry whom, it is a trivial matter. He is happy to see me enter his Shen family, so I will be his wife." What's the matter?"

yes.The most difficult thing in the world is falling in love. If you can stay together, whoever goes up and who goes down, whoever marries whoever marries, what's the problem?

In the blink of an eye, Gu Huaiyu thought of his husband again, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.If he could stay with Jiaer, it would be good to let him marry Jiaer.It's just that Xue's family is not very good, it's better to let Jiaer come to their Gu family.

After thinking about it this way, Gu Huaiyu smiled again.He looked up, only to see the sky in the distance is clear and bright, the clouds are light and the wind is light.The east wind blows in the small building, and the peach blossoms are hundreds of miles away.Looking at it vaguely, the mountains and rivers are still the same, and the old people are like yesterday.

On the other side, in Jingfu.

Si Qing and Qin Haimu came to Jingfu to say goodbye to Gu Huaiyu. Because Gu Huaiyu was out, Xue Jia entertained them in the mansion.

Xue Jia looked at Si Qing and said softly, "Did you really think about it this time?"

Qin Haimu raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways at Xue Jia, and privately scratched Si Qing's waist with his half-armed hand.It was Si Qing's sensitive spot there, he had only touched it on the bed several times yesterday, so it was naturally extra sensitive at this time, after being scratched by him like this, Si Qing almost didn't jump up from the velvet blanket on the floor.

Barely restraining Qin Haimu's agitated reaction, Si Qing remembered the absurdity of last night, couldn't help but blushed slightly, and said to Xue Jia shyly: "Well, I've made up my mind this time, and I'd like to go back to the West Sea with him. "

Xue Jia pretended not to see the private interaction between the two opposite people, and smiled with some concern: "Although we are not related by blood, Huaiyu and I can be regarded as half-husband's family, if there is anything unsatisfactory in the future If you want to come back, you can go to Yuncheng to find us."

At this moment, Gu Huaiyu's voice was heard to follow him into the room: "Why is the husband's family not the husband's family?"

Qin Haimu didn't even look at him, just looked at Xue Jia directly at him, and said seriously: "I won't let him have the slightest bit of unsatisfactory, from now on, for the rest of my life, I will protect him to be safe and happy, and live happily ever after."

Over there, Gu Huaiyu took off his shoes, stepped on the soft blanket on the wooden board with only a pair of white socks, walked to Xue Jia's side and sat down cross-legged, nodded to him and said, "That's right, that's what men do. Si Qing will take care of you in the future, so I won't worry about it."

Qin Haimu glanced at him disdainfully, and said coldly, "You don't need to worry about it."

Gu Huaiyu didn't bother with him, but said: "If you leave, who will replace you?"

Qin Haimu sat across from the desk, and slowly stroked his long hair that was hanging down with his fingers, and slightly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Maybe it's Lao Qi who came here. He is also twenty years old, and he hasn't married yet. Maybe he will come Wangjing has his eyes on a good girl from that family."

Gu Huaiyu pondered for a while and said: "So, after you go back, don't you come back again?"

This time, without waiting for Qin Haimu to say anything, Si Qing said with a smile: "I will come again in the future, and most of them will also come to Yu Country to travel. After all, the West Sea is his hometown, and I would like to live with him on the other side forever."

"Baby..." Qin Haimu's expression was touched, and he called him in a low voice.

Si Qing lowered his head and smiled slightly, and tightly held Qin Haimu's hand with his backhand, and the two hands were tightly connected.

They took the wind and went back to the West Sea. From then on, they saw the sea and the sky, and the water birds flew.

From then on, we will stay together forever.

On the day when Gu Huaiyu returned to Yuncheng with the motorcade, he felt as if a lifetime had passed.

It was only seven years since he was reborn, and when he returned to Yuncheng, his fate was already completely different from that of his previous life.The power of the city lord Xiao Yuwen in Yuncheng was uprooted, and even his family was implicated and ruined. The two enemies who put him to death in his previous life both died in Wangjing, and he, the second young master of the Gu family, returned to his hometown with a brand new fortune. The city will set up a separate portal and will become one of the new rich merchants in Yuncheng.

Gu Huaiyu stood under the city gate, looking back the way he came, only to see the wind rising and the clouds falling, and the clouds churning.And Xue Jia stood quietly beside him, standing shoulder to shoulder with him under the city gate, with a slight smile on his lips.

Gu Huaiyu's eyes fluttered slightly for a moment, and he saw a handsome man in plain white long clothes coming down from the convoy. The man was walking towards him leisurely with a piano on his back, nodded slightly to him and said, "Mr. .”

Gu Huaiyu also nodded to him: "Leave?"

Suqin, or perhaps he should be called Leng Yin, said to Gu Huaiyu in a flat voice: "Could Young Master Gu tell me Chunwan's whereabouts?"

Many years ago, he once taught a girl in Xiangxue Haiting. At that time, he was really moved and wanted to redeem her from the brothel, but unexpectedly learned that she was going to sneak into the city lord's mansion for the person who sent her here. , to be the concubine of the city lord.At that time he said to her, you follow me, you don't have to do such a thing, I will take care of you and your siblings from now on.

But she refused.

At that time, she was leaning against the window of Hualou, and said calmly, in my most difficult time, my brother was bedridden and critically ill, the family was poor, and there was no one around to lend a helping hand. It was Gu Ershao who saved my brother. I promised to do what he asked me to do, I voluntarily repay the favor, and I will not leave with you.

He was speechless for a moment.

After a while, I heard her sigh slightly sadly, it would be great if you came earlier.

It was rare for him who was always indifferent to feel a kind of sad powerlessness in his heart, yes, he came too late.

She won't go with him, she has her way.

After that, she really entered the city lord's mansion, and was promoted step by step from the city lord's concubine to the city lord's side wife.And what Gu Ershao promised her, he did everything.Her younger siblings registered separately, and her younger brother was sent to Yuntian College, one of the three major colleges in Yuncheng, to be enlightened, while her younger sister also chose a rich family to marry not long ago, and accompanied her with a good dowry. The sister-in-law is in a dilemma, and the husband is gentle and eager to learn and make progress. Anyone who really knows the inside can see that this is a good husband's family who was deliberately selected.

And she has been secretly hiding in the city lord's mansion for many years. I don't know what kind of cautiousness and walking on thin ice she has gone through. Only then did she find the evidence of the crime of the city lord Xiao raising private soldiers and communicating with officials and bandits from the city lord's mansion. Up to the sky to listen.

And at the same time as her, after being rejected by her, he left his hometown and did not return to Yuncheng for many years.He entered the Yunshao Mansion in the imperial capital and became a luthier who didn't care about world affairs, until one day the second young master of the Gu family appeared in front of him again and said to him:

"Don't you want to know about Qing Wan's recent situation?"

......

After everything was settled, he came back here with Gu Ershao's motorcade, he thought, he still wants to come back to find her, this time, he won't come so late again.

Gu Huaiyu looked up at him and said, "Qingwan has regained her real name and now lives alone in Qizhen. If you go to find her, please treat her well in the future."

He didn't say much, he just carried his piano on his back, nodded slightly to Gu Huaiyu, and knowing the exact address of the girl named Wen Chunwan, he turned around and walked in another direction.

This time, he will not let go of her hand again.

Xue Jia looked at Gu Huaiyu who turned around and smiled slightly, "Let's go too."

"kindness."

Another spring benefit.

In the past year since the new city lord was replaced, Yuncheng has gradually returned to its pre-turmoil prosperity, and all walks of life are showing signs of vitality and prosperity.

For example, the reputation of the Qianjin Liquor of the Zheng family in Yuncheng has been passed down for a long time, and its reputation has even spread to the country of Jiang across the sea.

It was another long and peaceful afternoon. Seeing the sun gradually set from the west, the clouds in the evening sky were rendered in large swathes of the sky, layer upon layer covering the sun that had not completely set. Afterwards, it changes, blooming into a breathtaking sky.

This is the most comfortable climate of the day, the weather is cool and refreshing.

The few kids in front of Qianjin Winery chased and beat each other, playing wantonly in front of the winery counter, and the guys sitting inside drinking didn't scold them, they all looked at these little devils cheerfully.

A child was riding a bamboo pole at the door, but he didn't want the bamboo pole to get stuck on the threshold, knocking him staggeringly, and falling on a man in plain clothes who just walked in from the door.

The plain-clothed man had just helped him up, and smiled gently at the child, who responded foolishly with a smile, before he could say anything else, he saw the man next to him wrap his arms around his shoulders Go to Houfang.

His playmate ran up to him and bumped into him, whispering, "Hey, who are they?"

He replied dazedly: "I don't know, maybe my great-grandfather knows him?"

Because his companion blocked his view, he hurriedly lifted the child's shoulders and looked at the backs of the two handsome men.

One of them was wearing a warm-colored and exquisitely carved jade pendant, which dangled gently around his waist.

There is also a hollow golden waist tower carved in the lower right corner of the jade pendant.

The author has something to say: Sahua, Sahua, the lazy author Aliu finally finished his first novel.Send some postscript as a bonus (/ω╲).

He is brave, brave and has the style of being a father, and the soldiers under his flag are all called young marshals.A few months later, the soldiers of Shuo State retreated, and Xiao Ronglian, the right minister, went to the border.Because it was signed in a place called Futu Town in the border, it was called the "Futu Covenant" by later generations.

There should be two or three episodes after that, if anyone is willing to read it, I will write it, if not, I may really end here.

There are many deficiencies in writing a novel for the first time, thank you to every reader who likes and supports Ah Liu, you are all little angels, O(∩_∩)O thank you.

☆, 94. Chen Linqing's episode

On the top of the mountain, travel far and wide.

Heaven and earth repeat, never forget.

Among the three major academies in Dayu Yuncheng, although Fengluo Academy is not as large as Yuntian Academy, nor does it have as many people as Yuntian Academy, but it is unique in its unique courtyard and quiet environment.Fengluo Academy is located on the hillside of a hill not far from the inner city. Although the terrain is a bit remote, the scenery here is unique, and it is a good place to study without being disturbed by ordinary people.

Because this mountain was directly contracted by Fengluo Academy, the entire mountain belongs to the academy, so the academy occupies a vast area and is divided into many different courtyards. Almost a few students can be assigned to a unique small courtyard.

Because among the three roommates who lived together, one had finished his studies and left the academy, and the other two went home to visit relatives together today, only Xue Jia was left alone in the yard.

Recently, the college had a rest, but he didn't want to go back to Xue's house, which was very cold to him, and would rather stay alone in the yard and read a book quietly.Fortunately, he met Chen Linqing, a student of Yuntian College, during the exchange at the college. The two communicated very well and forged a good friendship. Chen Linqing also came to Fengluo College to visit him from time to time.

Knowing that Xiu Mu would stay alone in his courtyard, Chen Linqing came out of the city and brought a few books and a piano to visit him, so that he would not feel lonely.

At this time, the two leaned against the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard, leaned against two large bluestones under the tree, each found a comfortable position, and immersed themselves in the morning breeze to study quietly, feeling that the whole person Refreshing.

After reading for a while, Chen Linqing put down the book in his hand, stood up and stretched freely, and said to Xue Jia with a smile: "Brother Jia, why don't we play the piano?"

Xue Jia raised her eyes to look at him, and said with a smile, "Okay."

After a while, both of them took out a qin. They sat on the big bluestone, each placed the qin on his lap, and stroked it carefully. Xue Jia raised his head and asked him: "Should we play together, or Play a song first?"

Chen Linqing turned his head slightly and thought for a while: "I haven't heard good news from Jiadi for a long time, how about Jiadi coming first?"

Xue Jia didn't refuse either, and just closed her eyes for a moment, then slowly opened her eyes, put her hands on the piano slowly, calmed down, and played in the morning mist in the mountains:

... There are bandits, who are as sharp as cutting, as sharp as grinding... Zhan Bi Qi Ao, green bamboo green...

It is the Book of Songs "Qi Ao".Chen Linqing also closed his eyes and listened intently, and sometimes hummed a sentence or two softly, just listening to the emotions flowing out of the sound of the piano, he felt a little strange feeling in his heart.

But I didn't want to listen to it, the sound of the piano suddenly jumped from one note to another, and changed to another song:

...... The wind and rain are dark, and the cock is crowing.Seeing a gentleman, Yunhu doesn't like it?

This is the Book of Songs "Wind and Rain".

Chen Linqing opened his eyes at some point, he stared fixedly at Xue Jia who was playing the piano leisurely, his eyes were filled with dark waves like wind and rain, but his heart was filled with uncontrollable obscurity.

Xue Jia had stopped playing at some point. He looked up at Chen Linqing who was staring at him, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and then he lowered his eyelashes slightly to cover the expectant Hao Ran in his eyes: "Brother Chen, I will We're getting married."

Chen Linqing was stunned there, and it took him a long time to hear his own voice say: "That's really congratulations."

Chen Linqing only said that Xue's family had found a normal marriage for Xue Jia, maybe with the concubine daughter of some family, or with Xiaojia Biyu of some family, but he didn't want to wait until the rumors from the streets and alleys reached his ears before he knew Now, Xue Jia does not want to marry a woman, but to marry a man, to be the man's wife of the big aristocratic family in Yuncheng, the Gu family.

And the son he is going to marry, the absurd and playful second young master of the Gu family, has a love affair with the young master Lian Caiyu of the Lian family, and everyone in Yuncheng knows it.I heard that not long ago, Mr. Gu went to Lian's family to hire him, but Mr. Lian threw the dowry out of the door, severely embarrassing the Gu family, and became a big joke in Yuncheng.

What does the Xue family think of Jiadi?An understudy to save face?

How could this make that young man with a graceful face and a sassy demeanor feel so embarrassing?How could a man like him suffer so much?

Chen Linqing was angry at the ruthlessness of the Xue family, but also pityed Xue Jia's situation. He even thought of taking Xue Jia to elope together. their place.

But when he thought of the family tradition and reputation of the Chen family in Yuncheng, he couldn't help but pause.

He was stuck in place, but he couldn't take a step out.

On the day Xue Jia got married, he fled in his own courtyard, holding the piano he had borrowed from Xue Jia, and playing until the end, his eyes turned red, and tears rolled down his face. Lose.

He just played alone from early morning to dark, until his ten fingers were cut and broken and dripping with blood.

Later, gossip about the Gu family spread in Yuncheng one after another.

Gu Ershao neglected her husband after marriage, never returned home for three days after the wedding, and even had a quarrel with her father because of it...

Gu Ershao and the young son of the Lian family rekindled their old relationship, singing and feasting as a couple every day...

Gu Ershao seems to regard Young Master Lian as his husband, but the real husband in the backyard is silent...

Chen Linqing's eyes became more gloomy day by day.

When Gu Huaiyu had a fierce fight with Young Master Lian outside, he never cared for Xue Jia. He clearly trampled Xue Jia's face to the ground.

He couldn't help feeling colic in his heart, Xue Jia is such a good person, how could Gu Huaiyu treat him like this, how could he bear it?

And that young man who used to talk about the world with him, can he return to the carefree demeanor of the past?

He could no longer restrain the surging emotions in his heart. Not long after, he bought one or two servants of the Gu family who knew everything about it, and asked them about the courtyard where Xue Jia lived, and then planned to visit the Gu family at night. The route, contrary to the usual gentleman's style, overturned the Gu family's wall without hesitation.

When he met Xue Jia in the courtyard of Gu's family, Xue Jia's living expenses were not bad, perhaps far better than when he was in Xue's house, but his cheeks became a little thinner, and his face also looked a bit gloomy and haggard. Come.

He climbed down from the wall, stepped forward and stared earnestly at Xue Jia, who was a little surprised, and suppressed a faint trembling under his calm face: "Jiadi, follow me."

Xue Jia looked at him for a long time, understood the almost crazy affection in his eyes, as if meeting him for the first time, was silent for a long time, and then smiled wryly: "Go? Where are you going?"

He panicked and said, "It doesn't matter where you go, as long as you want, I am willing to accompany you to any place in the world, just like we hoped when we were young, cooking wine with swords and making the world our home. "

Xue Jia looked at him calmly and said, "It is impossible for me to walk with you."

"Why?" Chen Linqing whispered unwillingly and angrily.

"I married Gu Huaiyu voluntarily. If I don't want to, then I can leave if I want. Although he failed me, I live peacefully in Gu's mansion, and I don't want to escape to live a life of hardship."

"Of course, the most important point is that I don't want to go with you."

Xue Jia is a decisive person, this may not be good, just like he identified Gu Huaiyu, but he only got sadness in exchange.But in the same way, if he has no intentions for Chen Linqing, he will never give him hope, and he will never say some beautiful words such as expressing his affection and wishing to repay him in the next life.

For him, love is love, not love is not love.

Nothing else can be mixed.

Chen Linqing looked at Xue Jia in a daze, only to hear his voice, as clear as a cold spring, faintly ringing in his ears: "Chen Linqing, I can only say one thing to you, sorry."

In the end he fled.

Since that time, he often stays behind closed doors, reading books like a ruthless one.

He warned himself that he must be able to calm down in order to achieve his goal.Yes, he can't bring Xue Jia anything now, if he insists on taking Xue Jia away from the Gu family, maybe he can only make Xue Jia suffer.

Only when he becomes a master can he take Xue Jia away from the Gu family in an open and honest manner.

At that time, who else can stop him?

He took the exam all the way from Yuncheng to Wangjing, defeated all the others in the final palace examination, and then entered the imperial court as an official and minister, married a noble family and married a famous lady, and walked smoothly in the imperial court all the way.

When he finally had real power in his hands, and even secretly cultivated his own power, many years later, he finally remembered his childhood dream, and then galloped back to Yuncheng.

It is said that being close to the hometown is timid, because of the complicated affairs of the court and court, he is too busy to separate himself from himself, and he has not heard from Xue Jia for more than a year.

When he was about to walk to the gate of Yuncheng, Chen Linqing only felt that his heart was churning with joy, and the youthful and ignorant love revived in his heart, which made him wish he could run back to the inner city of Yuncheng, to the door of the Gu family, Take Xue Jia away in a grand manner.

He thought, this time, he must marry Xue Jia back home.

Since Gu Huaiyu didn't treat him well, let me take care of him.

"What did you say?"

Chen Linqing stared blankly at the spy who he sent out to investigate the situation the night before, dismounted on the busy street, and reported to him the latest situation of the Gu family in Yuncheng.

There is no Gu family left in Yuncheng.

Just a year ago, the Gu family and the Yin family of Yuncheng were imprisoned for various crimes such as tax evasion, collusion with local tyrants, poisoning the residents of the city, etc., and their homes were ransacked by the city lord. It was in this fire that there were no dead bodies.

Planted and framed, convicted and imprisoned, then ransacked the house and "confiscated" it, set fire to destroy the body and wiped out all traces.

This is his most familiar trick.

He didn't want it to happen to Xue Jia one day.

Chen Linqing felt the breath in his chest dissipate: "What about others?"

The subordinates looked at him, and didn't dare to answer for a while.

Kicked out of the house, living in Yuncheng to work for others, even so, the husband of the city owner's family still refused to let him go, just because of the emotional entanglement with Gu Ershao, the husband of Xiao's family dared to force him to beg, even...even...

In order to climb up these years, Chen Linqing has gotten his hands dirty a lot. He has done worse and more vicious things than this, but he never thought that such a thing would happen to Xue Jia.

He thought that Xue Jia would not be able to resist the persecution of Xiao's husband, so he would leave Yuncheng, but he didn't want to, even though he was crazy, he would still miss Gu Huaiyu in his heart, and he wanted to find him wholeheartedly.
