Faced with Xiao Yuan's self-confidence, Gu Junci didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and even felt that it was okay without telling his purpose.

Of course, it was also within the arrangement of King Linyang that he revealed his purpose, because only by being honest about his purpose and exposing it to everyone's suspicion can he win people's trust more.

Early the next morning, when Gu Junci woke up from the bed, Xiao Yuan had already left his room without knowing when, and even brought him new clothes.

The embroidered patterns on the neckline of the purple clothes are also very fine, especially this size fits Gu Junci very well, as if it was tailor-made for him.

Gu Junci put on his clothes, tidied up and washed, and then walked out of the room. Standing on the corridor, he firmly imprinted the layout of the entire courtyard in his mind, and his heart became more and more determined. The courtyard where Xiao Yuan lived was It's really the same pattern as Hanyuan Hall.

It is also because of this that Gu Junci gradually became suspicious. It was not a coincidence that he came here, and maybe it had nothing to do with the Xuanji map in his brother's hand. Otherwise, why would Xiao Yuan live in the same place as Hanyuan Palace? Why would Xiao Yuan believe so firmly in the existence of Xuanji Kingdom, and would trust him unsuspectingly.

Gu Junci felt that all these puzzles might be related to Xiao Yuan.

But when he was thinking about his origin, the fourth son Xiao Yu appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and ran towards Gu Junci quickly:

"Brother Junci, you are up, hurry up, I will take you out to play in Lanling City."

Before Gu Junci could react, he was dragged down the steps by Xiao Yu, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, but as soon as he reached the door, he saw Xiao Yuan who was rushing back. He looked straight at Xiao Yu, and he was so scared that he immediately Let go of Gu Junci's hand, stood at attention, and looked at Xiao Yuan cautiously.

"Second brother, I, I'm here to ask Brother Junci to have breakfast." Xiao Yu said obediently.

Xiao Yuan raised his eyes to look at Gu Junci who had put on new clothes, and his eyes couldn't help becoming gentle: "Well, I let someone wash your old clothes, and this clothes suits you very well, but Still likes?"

Gu Junci raised his hand and looked around: "Second Young Master Xiao has good eyesight, I like it very much, thank you."

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, Xiao Yu couldn't believe the smile on his lips: "Second brother, you have never smiled at me like this."

Hearing this dissatisfaction, Xiao Yuan immediately suppressed his smile, and then said seriously: "Brother Junci can't go out of the city with you today, we still have important things to do, so you have to practice martial arts well, otherwise father will punish you and me again I can’t help you with a good word.”

Hearing his threats, Xiao Yu looked back at Gu Junci again. The original joy disappeared in an instant, so she could only bow her head resentfully, then bowed to the two of them, and left Xiao Yuan's yard.

Xiao Yuan looked at Gu Junci and said: "We won't be eating breakfast at home, now I'm going to see Brother Zheng, do you want Brother Gu to come with me?"

Gu Junci nodded again and again, and immediately followed Xiao Yuan out of the Duke's Mansion, and walked to the remote courtyard where Zheng Yuzhi and Lu Qingxuan lived.

However, because of the relationship between Gu Junci and Xiao Yuan, when Zheng Yuzhi discussed things with Xiao Yuan later, he no longer shy away from Gu Junci, and because of this, Gu Junci knew that Lanling was actually not peaceful.

Zheng Yuzhi is a descendant of the offshoot of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Although they are not close to the main family, they still have one place in their hearts.

The Zheng family in Xingyang is different from the Cui family in Qinghe. With the ancestral shadow, even if they quit the court to operate business, they are still prosperous, and even have wealth that is incomparable to a country.

And the Zheng family began to decline because there was no one in the court, so the head of the family naturally started to unite with other families to preserve their own foundation.

Although the Qinghe Cui clan is rich, and the Langya Wang clan is an aristocrat, but compared with the Lanling Xiao clan who has soldiers and horses in their hands and plays an important role in the court, they will naturally choose the Lanling Xiao clan.

Zheng Yuzhi's appointment as magistrate in Songzhu County was the best opportunity, which brought the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Xiao family of Lanling into line and became allies.

Originally, Xiao Boxu also planned to unite with Lu Wenyuan, the Duke of Wei, but unexpectedly he would rebel against everyone's unexpected circumstances, so now Xiao Yuan and Zheng Yuzhi's plan is to hold back for the time being, and the contact with the Zheng family in Xingyang is also temporarily kept in the dark by Zheng Yuzhi conduct.

However, Xiao Yan was very dissatisfied with Xiao Yuan's secret contact with the Zheng family in Xingyang. Originally, he told Liang Guogong Xiao Boxu and wanted to use this to punish Xiao Yuan.

But he didn't expect that this was actually Xiao Boxu's instruction, so no matter how dissatisfied Xiao Yan was, he could only follow behind Xiao Boxu and had no chance to speak at all, because he knew that if this matter was brought to the court, all his families would be wiped out, or he would be killed directly. Abandoned by his father, he can no longer inherit the family business.

Therefore, the more Xiao Yuan valued Xiao Boxu, the more dissatisfied Xiao Yan was, so no matter in the military camp or at home, he would always make Xiao Yuan unhappy.

Originally, I was supposed to have breakfast at home, but I didn't want Xiao Yan to provoke Xiao Yuan with Gu Jun's speech, and Xiao Boxu didn't intend to stop it, so Xiao Yuan took Gu Jun's speech out of the house, and at Zheng Yuzhi's place, together with Lu Qingxuan Use breakfast.

"Brother Gu, eat more, my sister's fried shortbread is very delicious." Lu Qingxuan kept introducing Gu Junci.

Gu Junci nodded again and again, eating the delicious shortbread and drinking the thick and fragrant millet porridge is really a beautiful thing.

"Second Young Master, don't mind, this Eldest Young Master is just trying to make fun of himself." Zheng Yuzhi also quickly comforted him.

Xiao Yuan didn't take it seriously: "I never cared about these things, after all, what I plan to do is more important than these little things."

Zheng Yuzhi smiled, but didn't speak any more.

"By the way, I asked Yang Junfang to send a letter to Fan Yang. Brother Lu's father will reply in half a month." Xiao Yuan said suddenly.

Lu Qingxuan, who was eating shortbread, looked up at Xiao Yuan, then at Gu Junci, and asked doubtfully, "Brother Gu, won't you send me there?"

Just as Gu Junci was about to speak, Xiao Yuan said: "I have asked Brother Gu to do some private matters, so I cannot accompany Brother Lu to Fanyang."

Zheng Yuzhi also said: "Qingxuan is obedient, Mr. Gu also has his own things to do, and the current situation in Fanyang is turbulent, Mr. Gu will be safer staying in Lanling."

Lu Qingxuan thought about it for the same reason. He wanted to go to Fan Yang himself. Besides, it was his father who was in Fan Yang. Now that something like this happened again, Gu Junci, who had been dragged down by him, was issued an arrest warrant by the emperor. There is no reason to let him enter the dangerous situation again, so he said:

"It's just that I didn't think carefully. It's indeed safer for Brother Gu to stay in Lanling than to go to Fanyang."

Looking at Lu Qingxuan's smiling face, Gu Junci could only nod solemnly.

This confirms that he will stay in Lanling, Gu Junci naturally follows what Xiao Yuan said before, and works under Xiao Yuan's command.

Lanling Xiao's troops are divided into two groups, one is Xiao Yan's troops, guarding Lanling and the surrounding cities and fortresses, while Xiao Yuan's troops are needed for preparing for war, although they belong to different groups at the moment. Two, but in the end the power of soldiers and horses is still in the hands of Xiao Boxu.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. The news from Luoyang was that the king of Linyang led his troops to attack the rebels in Fanyang, but because Lu Wenyuan had a few more generals who were good at fighting, the king of Linyang was severely injured. Withdraw Fan Yang.

At this point, Fan Yang's side gradually stabilized. Lu Wenyuan wrote back that he would send someone to pick up Lu Qingxuan after the situation stabilized. Now that Fan Yang has stabilized, the person Lu Wenyuan sent to pick up Lu Qingxuan would arrive soon.

In the backyard of Duke Liang's mansion, Gu Junci was supervising Xiao Yu's martial arts training. Although Xiao Yu was sweating profusely, he continued to practice without compromise.

"Brother Jun Ci, if I practice martial arts well, will you really tell my second brother to take me out to play?" Xiao Yu asked.

Gu Junci nodded in response: "Of course, after your second brother agrees, I will take you out to play."

Xiao Yu looked up at Gu Junci in a straight posture and said, "Brother Junci, I don't quite understand why every time I tell my second brother that I want to go out to play, he asks all kinds of questions, why do you say so? , he agreed, and will personally take us with him.”

Gu Junci looked at him with his hips on his hips, pursed his lips and thought for a while: "Because he will sell me some noodles."

Xiao Yu didn't quite understand, but continued to practice the moves until the servant from the Duke's mansion came in a hurry, stopped in front of Gu Junci and saluted:

"Young Master Gu, there is a young master outside the gate of this mansion who sent you a letter."

Gu Junci looked at the envelope handed over by the boy, and quickly took it. Xiao Yu stopped practicing martial arts, and ran straight to Gu Junci, watching him tear open the envelope, and took out the letter paper:

"A letter from brother Jun Ci's friend? Why don't you call him in?"

Gu Junci looked at him sideways and smiled. He didn't know who the person was outside the door. How could he invite people in casually? It seemed that it was not in compliance with the rules. After all, this is Liang Guogong's mansion, not Gu Junci's territory. .

Gu Junci spread out the letter paper, but there was not a word on the letter paper, only a flower, a camellia in full bloom.

Xiao Yu looked at the flower and couldn't help but wondered: "Brother Junci, your friend is too interesting. Instead of writing for you, he even drew for you. This flower is quite beautiful."

Gu Junci stared at the flower for a while, and finally remembered who this person was, couldn't help showing a smile, and asked: "Is the young master outside the door still there?"

The boy replied, "It's still there."

Gu Junci nodded and smiled, and hurriedly said to Xiao Yu: "You should practice martial arts here, and I will come when I go."

Xiao Yu shook her head quickly: "No, I'll go with you, and I also want to meet that person who draws beautifully."

Gu Junci stared and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, and took Xiao Yu out of the Duke's mansion together. From a distance, he saw Meng Chengye waiting at the stone lion outside the gate of the mansion, still dressed in black, but She tied up her hair in a bun and put on a hair crown, but she still wore the forehead embroidered with camellias.

Gu Junci quickly walked over and bowed to him: "Brother Meng."

"I never thought about it, brother Gu still remembers." Meng Chengye said in surprise in return, but his eyes fell on Xiao Yu beside him, "This is..."

Gu Junci hurriedly said: "Duke Liang's fourth son, Ayu, this is my friend, Meng Chengye."

Xiao Yu raised his eyes to look at this cold-looking man, with an indescribable resistance, he leaned against Gu Junci, then bowed to him and said, "Mr. Meng is good."

Meng Chengye returned the salute briefly, and then Gu Jun resigned and said, "By the way, how did Brother Meng know that I was in Lanling, and why did he come to Lanling to look for me?"
