Gu Jinzhi, who saw that the protagonist was obviously himself, was rarely silent.

Seeing this, He Yong who was behind silently backed away, gently closed the door, and stood guard outside.

He turned around just now, and saw a fat man in Chinese clothes in the hands of the person he sent out just now, walking towards the yard.It seemed that he was guarding outside the house, and in the middle of the walk, he consciously stuffed a ball of cloth into the mouth of the person in his hand, blocking the very noisy mouth of the other person along the way.

One of the subordinates quickly walked up to He Yong, leaned slightly to his ear, and said in a low voice, "This is the person the master asked to arrest. Just now we have asked someone to confirm that it is indeed him."

Then he quickly retreated back.He ordered his subordinates to let go of the person who was being held, and took out a very thick rope from nowhere, and tied the person tightly with his movements.

Afterwards, the man who was no longer able to move was allowed to sit slumped on the ground. The few people quickly looked around the surrounding environment, and then each picked a suitable position to be on guard.

After a stick of incense.

With a "creak—" the door was pushed open, revealing the people walking out of the door bit by bit.

Gu Jinzhi's complexion was a little gloomy, and there was a gloomy look almost overflowing from his brows and eyes.The moment he appeared in the eyes of everyone, he adjusted his expression very quickly, covering up all the ulterior gloom under the smile on his lips.

His eyes passed over He Yong who was guarding the door, and fell on the man who was still in the courtyard, with a piercing coldness in his eyes.

When he spoke, he still had a smile on his face, but he couldn't feel the slightest warmth, but was bone-chillingly cold: "I heard that there are people above you. I'm a little curious, who are the people above you?"

The man sitting paralyzed on the ground was still terrified by the previous torture, and opened his mouth tremblingly, but his mouth and nose were blocked by the cloth in his mouth, and he could only make a sound of "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".

Seeing this, He Yong, who had been following Gu Jinzhi, quickly stepped forward and removed the cloth from his mouth, which finally made his breathing easier.

He raised his eyes to meet Gu Jinzhi's smiling eyes, his whole body trembled instantly, and he told the other party everything he knew like pouring beans: "Yes, it's the Bai family! It was the Bai family who came to me and asked me to secretly hide in Beiyou City. Holding a line, I secretly provide them with some convenience, and they provide me with some support in action and money. We are mutually beneficial, and I really don't know what the Bai family let me transport, my lord! If you check them, it has nothing to do with me, I'm just a white worker! I beg you to let me go, I can't repay my kindness... er—"

The Bai family is a century-old family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there have been many ministers with high morals and high prestige. In the past, the Bai family was very powerful when the late emperor was there.The empress at that time was the daughter of the direct descendants of the Bai family. The first emperor was fatuous, addicted to alcohol, and ignored government affairs.As the uncle of the country, the patriarch of the Bai family was a mighty general at the time. With the support of the queen, he kept placing his own people in the court, almost turning the entire court into a hall of speech for their Bai family.

It is precisely because the Bai family controlled the government, disrupted the government, and the former emperor was unkind, the people suffered unspeakably.But in just one year, Dazhou has transformed from a rich and powerful country to a fat meat that everyone can bite into in the eyes of others.All the forces that were suppressed before began to move around, wanting to eat this big fat sheep into their stomachs.

It was the inaction of the Bai family and the first emperor that pushed Da Zhou into a situation where he was besieged on all sides.

If it hadn't been for his elder brother who forcibly took over the entire Great Zhou at that time and rectified the precarious country, it would have become stronger again.Now the external aggression is still there, but the internal turmoil has begun again.

A hand with sharp knuckles pinched his neck and gradually lifted up his fat body bit by bit, and his toes gradually lifted off the ground.

"Ho ho... my lord..." He struggled, his hands that were holding onto Gu Jinzhi's wrist were weakly loosened, his face was flushed red, and his rapid breathing showed his situation.

Gu Jinzhi was still smiling: "It has nothing to do with you? When the Bai family asked you to deliver the goods, you never peeked at it? It seems very insincere when you say this. Also, I heard others say, You once had a secret meeting with a woman here, and I am very interested in her. I don't know, do you know her identity?"

The man whose neck was strangled hurriedly shook his jaw up and down, indicating that he had indeed seen it secretly.

But the hand around his neck didn't relax a bit, on the contrary, it became tighter and tighter. A trace of despair slowly spread on his face, and his complexion gradually took on a dead gray color.

But at the next moment, the hand on the neck suddenly loosened.

Breathing fresh air suddenly, he subconsciously coughed a few times, his cheeks were flushed, and when he spoke again, he couldn't even speak: "food, food, it's food. The Bai family entrusted me to transport them all. Food. That woman, I don’t know her, but, but I know she’s not from Dazhou. People from Dazhou never talk like that... If, if I can see her again, I can recognize it... cough cough..."

When Gu Jinzhi heard the word "grain", his pupils shrank suddenly.The smile gradually disappeared on his face, he turned around, and commanded the people standing by with no expression on his face: "Take him down and watch carefully."

"Yes, master."

"Go and take the picture scroll in the room. I want to see who has such a clever mind." Gu Jinzhi said in a cold voice.

He Yong, who was behind him, walked into the room knowingly, but after a while, he came out holding the scroll in his hand.Holding the picture scroll in his arms, He Yong followed Gu Jinzhi back to the courtyard again.

There was no difference between the courtyard and them when they went out.The courtyard that had been ruined by Tamuti and his party had been restored to its original state, which showed that the shadow guards were very familiar with handling this matter.

However, Gu Jinzhi's mood was very different from when he went out early this morning.

But Li Ping, who had already dealt with everything and took Li An out for a walk, finally couldn't hold him back, so he waited in the courtyard early, waiting for Gu Jinzhi's return.

Seeing that the master came back, his expression changed from his previous calmness, and it was as if he was under fire, with a calm face, which was indescribably gloomy.

Li Ping opened his mouth quickly, trying to break up the atmosphere permeating the air, and said with a smile: "Master, just now when my subordinate was out, I found a little thing, and I think you will be interested..."

As he said that, he took out what he wanted from his sleeve, and finally found what he wanted. He looked happy, and just about to hand it to Gu Jinzhi, but under the cold eyes of the other party, he gradually put down his hand and walked back quietly. Shrunk.

After a change of hands, he stuffed the things in his hands into He Yong's hands, and said with a smile: "I knew you would be interested, so I kept it for you."

After finishing speaking, he closed his mouth tactfully, and he and He Yong quietly retreated to the back, and the two quietly bit their ears.

Li Ping: "Master, what's the matter? Why was it fine when I left today, but after a few hours, it became like this?"

He Yong: "Don't say it, don't say it."

Hearing this, Li Ping ground his teeth, clenched his fists, and punched him in the face with a slap: "You stinky bastard, are you still pretending to be me?"

Not to be outdone, He Yong raised his hand and punched him.The two came and went, and even started fighting regardless of the occasion.

All of a sudden, in the courtyard here, the screams of the two people and the screams of being beaten were heard one after another.No one called to stop, and the fight between the two became more and more fierce.

"Are you going to say it or not? Ah?" "You fight again? You still fight!"

"Would you say it?" "I just won't say it, what can you do?...Ah! You sneak attack..."

Hearing the screams in his ears, Gu Jinzhi twitched the corners of his mouth in boredom, and just about to say something, Li An, who was silent, suddenly spoke.

"Master, Mr. Wen has sent you a letter." There was an envelope in the palm of his hand.

Gu Jinzhi's brows twitched, and the originally deep and dark eyes gradually revealed a gleam of light, and his face softened involuntarily, and the corners of his lips subconsciously brought the unruly smile that he liked to show in front of the other party before.

There was nothing extra to say, but the originally noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet.He Yong and Li Ping, who were scolding, stopped at some point, and quietly walked to Li An's side. The moment they saw Gu Jinzhi take the envelope, they grabbed it with lightning speed. He grabbed Li An's arm and dragged him away.

In an instant, Gu Jin was the only one left in the courtyard.

There was a night breeze passing by in the courtyard, pulling away his eyebrows and eyes, and bit by bit dipped into his softened face.The evening wind blew away his gloom and depression of the whole day, leaving only his best face to present to the other party.

—Even if it’s just a correspondence.

Gu Jinzhi opened the envelope, gently pulled out the letter paper, and slowly stretched it out:

"A Jin:

Zhan Xinyue.

I haven't seen you for more than a month, are you okay?In Yingdu, I am paying attention to the affairs of the court and China every day, but I forgot to write to you.Now that I am working in the Ministry of Officials, you must know that Master Sun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, used to be my grandfather's student, so he always treats me harsher than others.Maybe it's because you've been caught tight these days, but I vaguely remember the complaints you said to me when you played truant.Thinking about it now, I can empathize with you.

I went to your mansion to stay for half a day the day before yesterday, and the flowers in your yard are still in full bloom and well cared for.The old housekeeper asked me about you, and I thought he should know more about you than me, but I still spoke to him about you.Come to think of it today, you may need to speak to him when you come back.

One day and one night, for some reason, I thought about it and made a painting.Now that the entrusting person gives you the letter and the painting, can it be regarded as a gift from me?

But you probably don't want to hear that.I'll keep it short:

Jin, I miss you in my heart.I also hope that you can finish handling the affairs of the northern border as soon as possible. I will wait for you in Yingdu.

Maybe when you come back, you will be able to catch up with Qixi Festival.A few days ago, I saw Nongyue tie up a lantern, which was quite interesting.When you come back, you and I can go to the Lishui River on the outskirts of the city to put a lantern together.If you can't come back in time, I will tell you my wish first, and you can get what you like if you put one on your own.

'Wish to grow old with you, without hearing troubles in the world. '

——A Yuan”

Gu Jinzhi no longer cared about the previous dullness, his heart and eyes were full of his A Yuan.He stared intently at the last sentence on the letter, the smile on his lips enlarged uncontrollably, and the light in his eyes grew brighter.

He Yong, who did not know when he returned to the courtyard, carefully placed the scroll in his hand on the stone table next to Gu Jinzhi, and left quietly again.

But Gu Jinzhi, who noticed his movements, ignored him and just turned his eyes to the scroll on the stone table.He stretched out his hand to hold it in his hand, and slowly unfolded it under the moonlight, and the whole picture scroll slowly revealed the whole picture——

In the painting, the young man in red is holding a sword in one hand, and one of the falling peach blossoms quietly falls on his head, but it is not as good as the pride and inevitability in his burning eyebrows.

On the right side of the scroll is a poem inscribed in small characters:

"Young master should only see paintings, and I only know about them.

Written to the end of the water and the sky, it must not be the world of dust. "

The author has something to say:

"Young master should only see paintings, and I only know about them.

Written to the end of the water and the sky, it must not be the world of dust. "
