57. The Old Story of the King's Mansion

Xuanyuan Ling had a great time going out today, and when he came back, he thought that the beating would be even more enjoyable if his father found out about it.

But until he and his father sat at the same table and had dinner, it was still calm.

If there is a problem, there must be a big problem!

Xuanyuan Ling silently lowered his head and took a bite of the rice, using his peripheral vision to secretly observe the old man sitting across from him who was serving food as usual.

A bowl of rice soon bottomed out, although Xuanyuan Ling was puzzled, he still put down his chopsticks.

Just when he wanted to say goodbye to his father after dinner, he ran back to his room to escape the catastrophe, but saw his father also put down his chopsticks and looked straight at him.

"today……"

His father started a conversation.

Sure enough, here we come!

Xuanyuan Ling's heart skipped a beat, his body froze, and he stopped trying to get up.

Thinking that he couldn't escape no matter what, he mustered up the courage to look up at his father.

He is doomed...

So the education to be loved should also be heroic!

Xuanyuan Ling waited for his father to speak, but watched his father stand up, raised his hand and seemed to pick up something from the storage table next to him.

It's over, it's a new ruler!

Xuanyuan Ling thought in his heart, suddenly fidgeting.

New rulers, new instruments of the heart, new pains...

"Father, father..."

Xuanyuan Ling couldn't bear it anymore, and made a trembling voice, wanting to beg his father to be gentle.

A few days ago, it's not all right...

"Ok?"

After taking the things, King Jing sat back and looked at his son who was going to be teary-eyed suspiciously.

He put the object in his hand in front of Xuanyuan Ling, indicating to open it.

Xuanyuan Ling looked at the extremely well-packed long package in front of her, and raised her hand tremblingly to open it.

Sitting across from him, King Jing frowned and wondered at Xuanyuan Ling's actions.

It's not...so touching, is it?

Xuanyuan Ling opened the package, her eyes were red.

Wuwuwu, his father is too scary, he even thought of asking him to dismantle this thing by himself.

Then I will definitely let him try this new ruler later, and if he says it doesn't work, he will return it for a new one...

His dad is so evil.

His ass is already hurting.

With the unpacking of the last layer, Xuanyuan Ling opened the rectangular wooden box, and then saw...

A... long sword?

"This is……"

Xuanyuan Ling was completely dumbfounded, the tears that had been squeezed out of his eyes could not flow, and he looked at the long sword with red eyes.

He had no idea what his dad was doing.

You can't just want him to kill himself on the spot...

"Didn't you keep saying you wanted it? I just passed by when I was going to court today, so I bought one for you."

King Jing coughed lightly, it might be the first time he did this kind of thing, he picked up his teacup and took a sip uncomfortably.

"It can be regarded as a little reward for you finally willing to do something serious."

Xuanyuan Ling was dumbfounded.

ha?

award?

What reward?

It's impossible to sneak out of the house to play rewards that haven't been discovered...

But now he didn't dare to say anything or ask anything, so he could only reply hesitantly.

"I will continue to work hard……"

King Jing was very pleased to see Xuanyuanling's sensible look, and sighed in his heart that his son had finally grown up.

"Today is the first day, how did you learn, is there anything uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, it's okay, there's nothing wrong with it..."

Xuanyuan Ling sneered a few times, and got away with it.

"Well, but you don't need to work so hard, just take your time. Sword practice is not something that can be done overnight. I don't ask you to be world-class in martial arts, and I don't ask you to die in defending the country. I just hope that you can avoid those cronies. Together, and learn some swordsmanship for self-defense..."

"Although Gu Yan is young and his martial arts are a little immature, he is also an excellent master for you. You should calm down and learn from him. You must not annoy him, understand?"

King Jing watched Xuanyuanling take the sword box and stood up, and couldn't help but give another word of advice.

Who is Gu Yan?

Xuanyuan Ling was puzzled, but still nodded.

"……understood."

...

Until Xuanyuanling returned to his yard with the sword box in his arms, he still didn't understand what happened.

"Who knocked down these wooden barrels! If you let me know who it is, you must teach him a lesson! Isn't it tiring to clean up?!"

"Stop complaining, it's better to clean up quickly, the son will be back later..."

In the yard, there were two young servants who were cleaning up wooden barrels all over the floor, and they saluted respectfully after seeing Xuanyuan Ling pass by.

"Hello, my son."

Xuanyuan Ling nodded pretendingly, then quickly walked back to her room with her head down.

not me not me not me...

After entering and locking the door, Xuanyuan Ling put the sword box on the table, and then lay down on the bed in a large shape.

Burying her face into the soft quilt, Xuanyuan Ling rubbed her hands indiscriminately, but still couldn't figure out why that guy named Gu Yan wanted to help him...

Today, he only interacts with Gu Yan the most, and anyone with a discerning eye can know that it must be what he said in front of his father that made him escape.

It's just that today they met for the first time, what is there in him that is worth Gu Yan doing?

Could it be to torture yourself.

A thought suddenly popped into his mind, Xuanyuan Ling suddenly turned over and sat up on the bed.

First he lied to his father, and then he was forced to practice martial arts with Gu Yan. During the training, he took the opportunity to make things difficult for him and tortured him, causing him to lose half his life.

If he sues his father, Gu Yan can threaten himself with what happened this morning...

"Too vicious!"

Can't help thinking of his own miserable situation in the future, Xuanyuan Ling angrily punched out of the bed a few times, grinding his teeth angrily.

Didn't he just bump into it by accident, and he didn't mean to...

No, for his own safety, he must find some way to stay away from him!

But before that...

Xuanyuan Ling bit her lower lip, then stood up.

An apology still needs to be prepared, maybe there is still room for things to turn around.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Ling showed a calmness and deliberation that was not what he should have at his age.

Although all of this is just his brain making up too much...

The next morning, it was rare for Xuanyuan Ling not to stay in bed, got up and put on his clothes, then stomped on his boots and ran into the kitchen.

The first way to apologize is to cook for yourself.

Xuanyuan Ling rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight, but found that he couldn't even get angry.

He frowned, thinking hard.

Or call the maid sister to help him...

...

After working in the kitchen for a long time, Xuanyuan Ling came out with a food box.

The three-layered food box with a black and red background was carried in his hand by himself. He didn't ask the maid for help, but he mentioned Gu Yanxiaozhu by himself.

That's how it looks sincere.

"Knock knock."

Xuanyuan Ling tapped on the wooden door lightly with his fingers, and the heavy sound made the people inside ask loudly.

"Who?"

"I... Xuanyuan Ling."

Xuanyuan Ling also answered loudly, but after finishing speaking, he felt that he was not sincere enough, so he added another sentence.

"Apology to Brother Gu is here..."

Xuanyuan Ling thought to himself, he called him brother, implying that he was still young, so don't bother with him.

"Wait."

Xuanyuan Ling pursed her lips silently after hearing the answer.

He was standing at the door with the food box in his hands and bowed his head, lowering his eyebrows and making a cute look.

Gu Yan was still taking a cold shower when he heard the knock on the door. He asked outside and heard a familiar voice.

He dried himself quickly, and came out wearing clogs and obscene trousers.

He was rubbing his hair, and was about to open the door, but found that his body...was really indecent.

I wanted to go back and change clothes before coming out, but I was afraid that the people outside would be waiting impatiently, so I yelled.

After half a cup of tea, Xuanyuan Ling still stood there and waited.He raised the toe of his shoe, and kicked the flowers and plants beside him boredly.

Why don't you come out...

Little Prince Xuanyuan couldn't bear it any longer, and just as he thought of turning around and leaving, he saw the door in front of him slowly open.

"Sorry for the wait."

The man may have just taken a shower, his hair was still a little wet, and the loose black hair was not tied up, which made him look less calm and more casual.

The black shirt on his body was exquisite and luxurious, and there was a white jade ring around his waist, making him look like an extravagant young man.

I have to say that Gu Yan is still very good-looking.

But Xuanyuan Ling still felt a small cut in his heart.

affectation……

He won't admit that he's just jealous!

Suppressing the emotions in his eyes, Xuanyuan Ling raised his eyes and smiled at him.

He picked up the food box and handed it to Gu Yan.

"soon."

Gu Yan took it, looking at the plain lacquer food box with some doubts.

"This is?"

"I made the apology myself."

Xuanyuan Ling smiled harmlessly, and the youth's unique clear voice, like a ding-dong clear spring, hit Gu Yan's heart directly.

Gu Yan was startled, his throat tightened inexplicably, and his voice became a little tense.

"come in……"

He hurriedly turned sideways to let Xuanyuan Ling walk in, and secretly grasped the wooden handle with the hand that was holding the food box.

Xuanyuan Ling glanced at him, but it was hard to refuse Gu Yan, so he could only walk in as he wanted.

Gu Yan closed the door, and when he turned around, he saw Xuanyuan Ling obediently sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard.

Lifting his feet forward, he put the plain lacquer food box on the table, Gu Yan took out the dishes inside and put them on the table one by one, then sat down opposite Xuanyuan Ling.

The dishes Xuanyuanling brought were very rich, a dish of Longjing shrimp, a plate of matsutake chicken, and a small cup of mountain soup, but to Gu Yan's surprise, there was even a dish of almond tofu!

Gu Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Xuanyuan Ling without a trace, somewhat unexpected.

He thought that the son could make a tomato scrambled egg and he was already considered amazing...

"Try it quickly?"

Xuanyuan Ling brought Gu Yan a porcelain bowl and a wooden box, and then blinked her starry eyes to look at him expectantly.

Gu Yan was caught by Xuanyuan Ling's gaze, he pursed his lips, and turned his head slightly, not daring to look at him.

Shizi... so cute.

Under the gaze of Xuanyuan Ling's shining cat eyes, Gu Yanzhi picked up a chopstick and put chicken diced into his mouth.

"Is it delicious? Is it delicious?!"

The boy on the opposite side asked impatiently.

The young man chewed a few times, then nodded stiffly.

"Hmm." Unpalatable.

He didn't dare to say it was delicious against his will, because he was afraid of being struck by lightning... so he could only foolishly agree.

Xuanyuan Ling's eyes lit up after hearing Gu Yan's answer.

He knows it!Although it was his first time cooking and he couldn't even distinguish the seasonings, he nodded when he saw Gu Yan, which proves that he still has a very high talent for cooking!

This can make him so awesome, that can make him proudly akimbo.

"I'll try it too!"

Xuanyuan Ling also wanted to taste what his own food tasted like.

"No!"

Holding the bowl and chopsticks, he was about to attack the shrimp on the plate, but Gu Yan immediately stopped him.

Xuanyuan Ling's hands were in the air, and he raised his head to look at the man with a cold face opposite him, only then did he realize that this was his apology to him.

He put down his chopsticks and curled his lips.

Cut, stingy, don't eat if you don't eat, who cares!

Seeing that Xuanyuan Ling was a little angry, Gu Yan hurriedly explained nervously.

"It's not that I don't want to give the world a taste, it's just..."

Gu Yan didn't know how to answer, he was not good at words.

If you tell the truth, Shizi will definitely feel uncomfortable, but if you tell some lies...

Gu Yan thought of countermeasures in his heart, but his face was still so cold.

I sent a chopsticks of shrimps, so salty...

I took a sip of the soup and drank it, it was delicious and sweet...

Almond tofu...smooth and sweet, but it should not be made by Xuanyuanling...

"Just what?"

Xuanyuan Ling watched Gu Yan taste every dish, and asked.

Gu Yan pursed her lips, and could only rack her brains and start lying.

"My son is just recovering from an injury, but the shrimp is a hair, so you can't eat it."

Xuanyuan Ling: "...then I can eat this diced chicken, right?"

"Fungi get on fire."

"Then this soup."

"Alcohol is added in it, it is easy to irritate the wound..."

"My son, let's try this almond tofu."

Gu Yan pulled the dishes made by Xuanyuan Ling closer to him, and then pushed the almond tofu in front of Xuanyuan Ling.

"But that's not what I did..."

Xuanyuan Ling muttered resentfully.

But he still picked up the porcelain spoon and gently scooped a spoonful into his mouth.

good to eat! !

It melts in the mouth, with a rich milky aroma and a faint almond aroma.

Xuanyuan Ling was so happy that his eyes stared straight out.

Gu Yan looked at Xuanyuan Ling holding the small porcelain bowl and eating it like a cute little greedy cat, and smiled helplessly.

The dishes made by Xuanyuan Ling are both colorful and fragrant, but the taste...

He couldn't bear to let him "suffer".

He is older than him, and his body is more resistant, so he can still bear this meal.

Looking at Xuanyuan Ling's eyebrows and eyes on the opposite side, Gu Yan couldn't help speeding up his chopsticks.

It's time to eat faster, and Xuanyuan Ling must not be given a chance to taste it.

...

The consequence of this is...

After eating that meal, Gu Yan's tongue successfully went numb...

And I feel sick when I see food...

In the middle of the night, the wise and mighty General Gu got up at night with diarrhea...

◎The author has something to say:

Cough cough, long time no see everyone.

Let's take the main line!I want to see the little dark guard tortured in his heart... haha, I'm so evil

58. The Old Story of the King's Mansion

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye...

In the past few days, Xuanyuan Ling has been changing ways to please Gu Yan.

Just after symbolizing and learning swordsmanship with Gu Yan...

It's as big as cleaning and cooking by yourself; as small as a bouquet of flowers every day, sending some strange little things...

In short, he will come as the book says!

Not long ago, he saw the new chapter, and wanted to help Gu Yan take a bath just like what was written in the book, but he went in with a bath towel and spiced bath beans in his hand, but the next second he was directly covered by his naked body Gu Yan between the legs rushed out.

Although the action of scrubbing failed, Xuanyuan Ling clearly felt that...

After that, Gu Yan looked at him with a softer look.

This is indeed a peerless book!

Xuanyuan Ling patted the crudely made book on the desk with satisfaction.

He had only heard that a person should not be judged by his appearance, but he did not expect the same truth to be found in books.

The sun outside the window is just right, the breeze is accompanied by birds chirping, and the sky is clear.

Xuanyuan Ling got up and walked to the window, looking at the lush vegetation in the yard, thought...

Today's weather is so good, it is suitable for sneaking out for a walk!

A gleam flashed across Xuanyuan's eyes.

Since...he and Gu Yan are so familiar, he slipped out to play today...

He will help him cover it up.

The past few days of practicing swords are so tiring, do you take it as a reward for yourself?

Xuanyuan Ling thought secretly, and the next moment he couldn't wait to lift his feet out of the room and went to find Gu Yan.

...

"Gu Yan? General Gu?"

After searching around Gu Yan's residence to no avail, Xuanyuan Ling stood in Gu Yan's study scratching his head, frowned and muttered.

"Where did you go?"

Xuanyuan Ling asked around and found out that Gu Yan went out with his father this morning.

The boy said that they would come back later and let Xuanyuan Ling study hard in his room

The boy still had some rough work to do, so he saluted and left.

After the little servant left, Xuanyuan Ling couldn't help laughing.

study well?

How can it be? !

Xuanyuanling returned to his room, packed his things in twos and twos, left a note for Gu Yan to press on the paperweight on the desk in his study, and happily sneaked out to play.

If the two of them are not here, he must go out and have fun today. These few days are so boring that he can suffocate him. He will not come back until dark this time!

...

After noon, the maid Fu Rong cleaned up the son's room as usual.

Sweep and dust, and organize the messy objects back to the original place...

Just as she was packing up the book case, Fu Rong picked up a book casually, and was about to read the title and put it back on the shelf, but stopped when she saw the words on it.

She was a little overwhelmed.

Well, how did this book get out?She has obviously been placed in the most remote place on the top of the bookshelf.

There are four words written on the old book cover——

Courteous.

A very normal book.

Yes, but...

Fu Rong opened the cover of the book with trembling fingers, and took off the two pieces of paper stuck together.

The original book cover fell off, revealing a new cover.

The writing on it is soft and soft, and it looks like it was written by a woman.

A Good Wife and a Good Mother—this is the title of the book.

Furong looked around in a panic, and after making sure no one saw it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they are not on duty today...

Otherwise, if they find out that she reads this kind of book, they will definitely laugh at themselves.

She stroked the cover of the book, thinking.

As long as no one finds out it's hers...

The room of the third-class maid usually accommodates six people, the room is not big, and there is no place to put this book.

There were so many people, so she took a chance and put it in the prince's study, so that after she cleaned up the study, she could read the book for a while before the prince came back...

I don't know who took it out...

It can't be the prince... the prince will take the initiative to find books to read?

After finding a remote place to tuck the book in, Fu Rong quickly finished the rest of the work, looked at the place where the book was hidden, and left after making sure that no one would notice it at a glance.

"Strange, at this hour... where did the prince go to play?"

...

· Palace Gate

Gu Yan and Xuanyuan Ming got into the same carriage, with serious expressions on their faces, they sat upright on both sides, silent.

The brown horse was whipped by the driver, and immediately raised its hooves to pull the carriage forward.

Xuanyuan Ming lowered his head slightly and stroked the fabric of the court clothes on his thighs. Hearing the cries of small vendors from outside, he was silent for a while before opening his mouth.

"General Gu, he..."

"Father, he can handle it. King Jing doesn't have to worry."

"Ugh……"

Xuanyuan Ming shook his head and sighed, raised his hand and lifted the curtains on both sides of the carriage to look at the prosperous scene outside, his eyes darkened.

"How long will these superficial prosperity last?"

Gu Yan paused, not understanding what Xuanyuanming meant.

"You are new here, so you don't know the undercurrents under Da Yan. Most of the current officials in this country are corrupt, and His Majesty is very suspicious..."

Xuanyuanming put down the curtain, looked directly at Gu Yan with a deep tone.

"A year and a half ago, the old emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. Within half a month, officials were dismissed vigorously and national policies were changed. It took only half a year to suppress the remaining power of the old emperor within a controllable range."

"Immediately after that, I sentenced the entire Xia family to be executed on trumped-up charges, got back the other half of the Tiger Talisman, and firmly grasped the military power and regime in my own hands."

After Xuanyuanming finished speaking, he pointed to Gu Yan's abdomen.

"The time you were assassinated at the border between the two countries should have been done by him."

Gu Yan subconsciously raised his hand to caress his abdomen, the wound hidden under his clothes was extremely deep, and he still felt a dull pain when he moved a lot in the past few days.

He couldn't believe it.

"Why?"

"He wants to start a war between the two countries... The current monarch of your Frost Snow Country has always defended his weaknesses. If the news of your injury comes back to the country, he will definitely come to the emperor to ask for an explanation. This is in his favor..."

"At that time, he just needs to find a legitimate reason to say that the leader of the Snow Snow Country provoked first, intensified the conflict between the two sides, and caused a war, and then he can rely on a strong force to swallow the Snow Snow Country."

Gu Yan hammered down the side wall of the carriage angrily, with a bit of anger in his eyes.

"This Li Cheng, why does he have such a big appetite!"

Xuanyuan Ming smiled and shook his head, he didn't care about the young man in front of him shouting their king's name angrily and disrespectfully, but looked at the fringe knots hanging from the roof of the carriage for decoration, his eyes gradually became empty.

He murmured softly: "That's right... It's not enough to swallow the loyal Xia family who protects the lord, and in less than half a year, they coveted the neighboring country again, how could they have such a big appetite..."

His huge ambition devoured the flesh and blood of the common people, consumed the previous economy and resources, and grew rapidly...

So far, the cycle is beyond redemption.

But what can these courtiers do?

This is their monarch. If they can't correct their mistakes, they can only delay the country's demise with their own strength...

...

It was evening when the two of them returned to Jing Mansion, and as soon as the carriage reached the door, a young servant hurried out.

He saw the familiar carriage parked outside the door at a glance, his eyes lit up, and he hurried to the carriage.

"My lord, my lord! It's not good!"

When Xuanyuan Ming got out of the car, he heard his servant yelling, and his already uncertain mood darkened a bit.

"what happened?"

He frowned, his voice was low and his expression was serious.

The young man was overwhelmed by Xuanyuan Ming's aura, and replied falteringly: "My lord, my lord... the son, he's gone!"

"When did you find out?"

"Just, just now."

"Tsk, where did this little bastard go to fight crickets again..."

Xuanyuan Ming looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and frowned even deeper.

"It's so late, the sun is almost setting..."

It seems that when he comes back, he will have to beat him up.

Gu Yan got out of the carriage, looked at Xuanyuan Ming who was frowning so easily that he could kill a fly, raised his fist to his lips, and coughed softly.

Xuanyuan Ming turned his head and looked over when he heard the sound, Gu Yan opened his lips and said, "Why don't you let me go down and find Prince Xuanyuan?"

"Don't worry about that kid, dinner is already prepared in the kitchen, let's eat first."

Gu Yan couldn't refuse, so he could only respond.

After taking his seat, Gu Yan looked at the sumptuous dinner in front of him, but in his heart he was thinking about someone who might still be having fun outside.

He ate very quickly, and he stopped and fell asleep in less than a cup of tea.

He looked at the sky that was completely dark, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"My lord, my son, he..."

Xuanyuan Ming also put down his sleep, looked up at the little stars in the night sky, and frowned.

Why is it so late and you haven't come back yet?

Do you want to sleep on the street tonight? !

"I'm a little worried about your son, why don't you let me go out and look for it?"

Xuanyuanming took a look at Gu Yan, and thought that this was a way to improve the relationship between the two, so he agreed.

"That brat likes to fight crickets. He usually stays with his cronies on the second floor of a house called Linlang Pavilion in the middle of Jiushenghua Street. Now I still have some things that I can't get away with, so I'll trouble you to get him back."

"it is good."

Gu Yan nodded, saluted Xuanyuan Ming and said goodbye, then raised his legs and strode out of Jingfu.

The lights on the street were just turned on, and the crowd was bustling, and Gu Yan soon arrived at Jiushenghua Street.

After searching in the crowd for a while, Gu Yan looked up at the flamboyant plaque in the shop in front of him, thinking that this is the right place.

Gu Yan lowered his head to straighten his clothes, and after confirming that he was well dressed, he walked in.

The decoration of the store is different from the resplendent and upstart outside, which looks simple yet elegant.

The air is filled with the fresh and elegant scent of bamboo. If he didn't know what this place is for in advance, Gu Yan would have thought it was just a tea room or a study...

"Good evening, guest officer, is there anything I need?"

The host was a young girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a decent smile on her face, looking at the handsome young man in front of her who was tall and strong, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a gleam of brilliance flashed in her dark eyes.

"Good evening."

Gu Yan nodded and replied politely, her calm and magnetic voice hit her ears, making her blush.

Is this... love at first sight?

Gu Yan was so focused on Xuanyuan Ling that he didn't notice anything strange about the girl in front of him.

He looked around and found that there was no one he wanted to see, so he turned back to look at the girl in front of him.

"Excuse me, have you ever seen a boy who is about this tall? He is wearing a lake blue robe today, and there is a topaz hanging around his waist..."

In the end, Gu Yan raised his hand to compare Xuanyuanling's height.

Although he was a little moved, Lu Xiaoman still remembered what his job was.

She raised her raised hand and curled it, the middle knuckle of her index finger was lightly pressed against her lips, she frowned slightly thinking about it.

In his mind, he screened the qualified candidates who had been to Linlang Pavilion today, and finally only thought of one person who met all the requirements.

"You are him..."

"his……"

Gu Yan originally wanted to say the word "brother", but his heart skipped a few times for some reason, he was slightly stunned, and then changed his words: "The suitor."

Lu Xiaoman obviously had never seen such a big world, she stared blankly at the handsome and tall young man in front of her, and opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

Chase, suitor? !

Broken sleeve? !

This, this, this, this, this, is too... a bit too explosive!

Isn't that young man the eldest son of Prince Jing's mansion? !

And isn't the eldest son of Jingfu only ten years old this year? !

Young hero, you are so brave!

Lu Xiaoman gave Gu Yan a thumbs up in his heart, but he couldn't help but look at him with some condemnation.

King Jing's son is so young, but there is an old cow who wants to eat tender grass...

Realizing that his thoughts had already wandered into the sky, Lu Xiaoman quickly came back to his senses.

Looking at Gu Yan who was still waiting patiently for a reply, she replied: "Hero Xuanyuan...had left half an hour ago."

"Half an hour ago?"

Gu Yan frowned, this place is not far from Jing Mansion, according to Xuanyuan Ling's footsteps, Xuanyuan Ling should have arrived home before he went out, but now there is no one in sight...

Gu Yan's eyes darkened.

Leaving Linlang Pavilion in a hurry, Gu Yan rushed back to Jingfu.

Lu Xiaoman looked at the back of Gu Yan who hurried away after hearing the answer, thoughtfully...

...

When Gu Yan returned to Jing's Mansion, he found that Xuanyuan Ling hadn't come back, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.

Talking about this matter to King Jing who was dealing with affairs, King Jing's usual serious look collapsed in an instant, he hastily dropped the pen in his hand, and summoned people to search the city...

Gu Yan originally wanted to go to Xuanyuan Ling's room to see if there were any clues, but when he passed by his small courtyard, he suddenly found that the door had been opened.

He squinted his eyes and raised his hand to open the half-open door.

There was no one in the yard, the lights were not lit, and it was pitch black.

Gu Yan took a fire bag and lit up all the lights inside and out. Seeing the bright light filling the courtyard, he felt a little empty.

Holding a note in his hand, he just found it on the desk. Gu Yan opened it, read it carefully, folded it up again, and held it in the palm of his hand.

"Going to the east of the city to fish?"

He murmured, the emotion in his dark eyes was unclear.

After handing the note to King Jing, Gu Yan took a step ahead and rushed to the destination with lightness kung fu...

There is a meandering river in the capital passing through the city. The water is gentle and flows from the west of the city to the east of the city.

Gu Yan came to the place Xuanyuan Ling wrote in less than a cup of tea. He walked around, but he didn't see Xuanyuan Ling...

Gu Yan raised his head and looked at the already dark sky, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, his lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were full of haste that had never been seen before.

From time to time, the sound of night owls could be heard in the distance, and the autumn wind gradually picked up, blowing his black robe, Gu Yanman searched aimlessly, and murmured softly.

"Where did you go? Ling, where did you go?"

In a daze, Gu Yan seemed to see a round object on the road.

It seems to be a jade pendant...

The body moves faster than the brain first, and quickly picks up the object. Under the faint moonlight, Gu Yan saw the original appearance of the object...

It was the topaz jade pendant hanging around Xuanyuan Ling's waist today!

When he passed by Xuanyuan Ling's yard this morning, he happened to see Xuanyuan Ling wearing it while having breakfast.

Gu Yan squeezed the jade pendant tightly in his hand.

Although it may not be this one...

But at least there is a direction!

Thinking of this, Gu Yan looked down and saw two shallow ruts beside the place where he picked up the jade pendant just now...

"This is……"

Gu Yan squatted down, picked up a little soil with his hands, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then rubbed the soil, and instantly came to a conclusion.

These two ruts are still new...

He raised his head and silently looked at the direction where the two ruts led, his eyes dark.

That's the direction to go out of town...

...

The birds are dressed in the coat of the night, standing on the treetops and singing from time to time, as if they are telling the loneliness of the long night, conveying the loneliness one after another.

The wheels creaked and ran over the dirt road, and a dilapidated carriage stopped in a small, run-down courtyard on the outskirts of the capital.

A middle-aged man in ordinary clothes got out of the car, carrying a huge black cloth bag on his right shoulder, and walked into the yard with a wretched smile.

The room was pitch black, apart from the birdsong in the distance, it seemed that the slight weeping of the girl and the heavy panting of the man could be heard.

"Squeak."

The wooden door that had been repaired for a long time made an unpleasant hoarseness, and the faint moonlight shone into the room from the outside, illuminating the scene of silver chaos, as well as the tears on the face of the girl who raised her head when she heard the sound...

"Hey Hey!"

The middle-aged man who had just entered put the black cloth bag on his shoulders on the ground, opened the bag without mercy, and pulled out the fainted girl inside.

He rubbed his hands with a silver smile, a disgusting expression appeared on his oily face.

Seeing that the girl on the ground was not the person she expected to see, she sobbed, and her head drooped feebly...

There were eight people in the dimly lit house.

In addition to the middle-aged man and the girl he had tied up just now, there were three equally wretched men and the girl they were treating roughly.

There were two shivering people in the corner, one was dressed in coarse cloth, the other was dressed in luxury.

"Hey, why is there such a handsome one here!"

The middle-aged man who had just entered the door saw the boy in the corner at a glance, and said in a frivolous and rude tone.

The boy trembled when he heard the voice, and the next moment he tightly grasped the skirt of the girl beside him.

The two leaned on each other, not daring to cry too loudly, scared and helpless...

"Third, don't touch that child."

One of the men seemed to be done. He stood up naked and panted, and said to him.

"That's a hostage to our fortune."

"Oh? That's a pity..."

The middle-aged man who was called the third child sneered. He looked at the boy's appearance and licked his lips greasy.

"Anyway, we have to hide when we get the money, why not enjoy the taste of this little chick now."

He slowly raised his hand and reached out to the boy.

The man tried before and acquiesced to the behavior of the third child. He kept silent and did not stop, and slowly walked towards the fainted girl.

"Daddy... Gu Yan... Huh, come and save me."

Xuanyuan Ling struggled, but his wrist was still roughly grabbed, and he pulled it up forcefully.

The middle-aged man named Lao San couldn't wait to tear off Xuanyuan Ling's skirt, looked at the immature body in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he swallowed.

Xuanyuan Ling was still struggling violently, but it didn't help at all.

"Hey Hey!"

The middle-aged man smiled, looked at Xuanyuan Ling who was struggling uselessly in front of him, and stretched his hand to the belt around his waist...

"thump."

Suddenly there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and everyone in Jin De's room looked there.

A man was punched severely to the ground, clutching his crotch and crying for pain.

Gu Yan stood indifferently at the door with his back to the moonlight. He had an icy look, but he was like a mortal god, bringing hope to the suffering world...

"Okay, someone came to make trouble."

The third child threw Xuanyuan Ling to the ground without mercy, smiled and waved, and the other two men came to his side.

"One hit four, you have no chance of winning!"

Gu Yan remained silent, his eyebrows and eyes were as sharp as frost.

He clenched his fists and rushed forward in an offensive posture!

"Brothers, come on!"

They didn't even have time to put on their pants, they looked at Gu Yan who was coming, raised their fists and joined the battle.

Gu Yan hit three but didn't lose the wind, just a pair of fists played like a tiger, the three of them
