Gu Pan Lanling

Along the way, Gu Zimo chatted with Chang Qing, the time passed quickly, and they arrived at the Lanling Prince's Mansion not long after.

The area of ​​the Lanling Prince's Mansion is the center of the entire city, and it is guarded by heavy soldiers on weekdays, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it at all.

Gu Zimo never imagined that one day, he would actually walk in through this gate in a luxurious carriage.

He followed Gao Wen closely, and when he entered the solemn gate, the guards on both sides saw Gao Wen and saluted respectfully: "I have seen Mr. Gao."

After Gao Wen briefly explained a few words to the guards with a serious face, when he looked at Gu Zimo, his trademark smile immediately returned to his face. While enthusiastically introducing the structure of the palace to Gu Zimo, he guided Gu Zimo like a guide. Gu Zimo leads the way.

The Northern Qi Dynasty has Xianbei blood, and the palace of the Lanling Palace cleverly integrated the Xianbei and Han styles.

From the roof to the roof, patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, deer and cranes, landscapes, flowers, and characters are carved with bricks, wood, and stones.

Both inside and outside the house are painted with lacquer patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, clouds and thunder, flowers and plants, which are exquisite and lifelike.

Gu Zimo had never seen such a magnificent mansion before, and he was dazzled and overwhelmed for a while.

Gao Wen walked a few steps, but found that Gu Zimo hadn't followed, so he turned back, "Mr. Zimo, are you tired?"

This Lanling Prince's Mansion looks extraordinary from the outside, but it is even more exaggerated when entering the inside.

Gu Zimo didn't want to admit that his physical strength was so unbearable, but he couldn't beat Gao Wen who was a round faster than him.

However, Gu Zimo's legs were a little sore from walking, so he could only say dejectedly: "It's a bit..."

"Since Mr. Zimo is tired, let's rest in this garden for a while." Gao Wen said, pointing to a garden on the right side of the corridor, and made a gesture of invitation to Gu Zimo.

Gu Zimo was a little embarrassed, "Is this okay for us? Will His Royal Highness Lanling wait for a long time?"

Hearing this, Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained to Gu Zimo: "Young Master Zimo, don't be nervous, the prince is not at the mansion right now, you can rest as you like, don't worry."

"What? He's not at the house?"

Gu Zimo thought that the King of Lanling sent someone to bring him to his residence because he must have something important to discuss with him, and that matter was probably related to Gao Xiaolin.Now, others have arrived at the mansion, but King Lanling...

"It's like this. When I went down to pick you up, the prince was indeed at the mansion. However, at that time, I heard that there is military affairs in the army that the prince will handle."

"Here, he's not here, what are we doing here?"

Gu Zimo lost interest in an instant. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, the majestic buildings will not attract him.

Chang Qing saw Gu Zimo's thoughts, and quickly said to Gao Wen: "Director Gao, since His Royal Highness Lanling King is not here, why not Zimo and I go back first, and when His Royal Highness comes back, I will come to visit at that time, what do you think?" ?”

"This..." Gao Wen looked embarrassed, paused, and said to Chang Qing: "Mr. Chang Qing, if you have something to leave, I will arrange a carriage to take you back. But, Mr. Zimo, he has to stay."

"Why should I stay?" Gu Zimo became anxious when he heard this.

"Yeah, I came here with Zimo, so naturally I have to go back together. If Zimo insists on staying, then I won't leave either, I will stay with Zimo..."

Seeing that Gu Zimo and Chang Qing were in a hurry, Gao Wen quickly explained: "I'm afraid it's not up to Mr. Chang Qing to decide whether to stay or not. Mr. Chang Qing is different from Mr. Zimo. Mr. Chang Qing is based on Mr. Zimo. Friends from my family come here, so as long as you don't stay overnight and play around the house for a while, it's not a problem.

However, Mr. Zimo stayed in the palace as an aide appointed by the prince.Therefore, only with the prince's permission, Mr. Zimo can leave.If not, Mr. Zimo might not be able to get out of this palace. "

"Staff?" Gu Zimo and Chang Qing said in unison.

Both of them looked at each other in amazement, Chang Qing was a bit inexplicable, but Gu Zimo twitched his face a few times as if he had been struck by lightning, "This is really the work of King Lanling. What do you mean? Let me be his staff, not Chang Qing?"

Although Gu Zimo is high-minded, he also knows his own strength. When it comes to resourcefulness, he is far behind Chang Qing. Usually, when encountering things, he still needs Chang Qing to advise him.

What does King Lanling think?To find him as an aide?

He did read the books of sages, but it was only for Gao Xiaolin...

He is a lazy person who never thought of being someone's aide and contributing to his political cause.

Thinking about it, King Lanling was probably looking for him because he was really confused.

"Is Mr. Zimo questioning my understanding?"

Gao Wen has been with Gao Changgong for many years, and it can be said that he is the person who knows Gao Changgong best.

Gu Zimo still found it incredible, "Director Gao, can you explain to me what the staff does?"

"I think that Mr. Zimo knows about it. After all, Mr. Zimo is the number one talented person in Yongcheng."

"Director Gao, please don't put a high hat on me. I never promised to be the aide of King Lanling. Therefore, I am still free and can leave with Chang Qing..."

"Hehe, Mr. Zimo, didn't I just say that? You are the staff appointed by the prince. If the prince says you are, you are."

Gu Zimo resisted the numbness of his scalp, "So it doesn't matter whether I agree or not?"

"It can also be understood in this way." Gao Wen smiled, nodded and added: "In Quanyong City, the prince's order is heaven, and Mr. Zimo needs to remember it."

Gu Zimo broke into a cold sweat, "What do you mean, until he comes back, I have to stay in this ghostly place?"

Gao Wen heard that Gu Zimo actually called the majestic Lanling Palace a ghostly place, he couldn't help frowning, and corrected him: "Mr. Zimo, how can you say that the Wangfu is a ghostly place? This is disrespectful, don't say it again in the future .”

"What if you insist on leaving here? Will you use force against me?" Gu Zimo did not expect to fall into such a situation today.

Thinking of King Lanling's reaction to him last night, it shouldn't be, that man was so cold, he didn't say a few words, let alone show any expression, why did he appoint him as his staff?

To keep him in the palace, is this to treat him as a prisoner?

Gao Wen was startled, and quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Mr. Zimo is too worried. If you insist on leaving, the people in the house will not dare to use force against you. However, the prince confessed that if you insist on leaving the palace, Then you will never know the news about Ko Hyo Rin."

"What?" Gu Zimo's eyes flashed when he heard the words, "Gao...His Royal Highness Lanling, is he really willing to tell me about Xiaolin?"

Gao Wen's face changed slightly when he heard the words, "Your Highness is honorable, and I am the Great Qi God of War. Is Mr. Zimo questioning His Highness's credibility?"

"No, I didn't mean that, I was just... a little surprised..."

He mentioned Gao Xiaolin to King Lanling last night, but King Lanling didn't respond at all. He thought King Lanling didn't hear it.

Now that Gao Wen said so, the King of Lanling is actually willing to help him find Gao Xiaolin.

Thinking of this, he was not so resistant to leaving things to the Lanling King as his staff.

"So, Mr. Zimo, do you still want to leave now?" Gao Wen saw that Gu Zimo was completely shaken, and asked with a smile.

Gu Zimo shook his head quickly: "I'm not leaving, I want to stay, didn't I say that I want to be an assistant to the prince..."

"Mr. Zimo is really smart." Gao Wen nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Chang Qing who was beside him, "It's getting late, let me send Mr. Chang Qing out of the mansion."

"Wait a minute, I want to have a few words with Chang Qing alone."

Gao Wen was startled, but immediately understood, he nodded and stepped back.

"You really want to stay?" Chang Qing asked.

Gu Zimo nodded, and said seriously: "Well, didn't you also say that King Lanling is the best person who can help me find Xiaolin."

"It's just that he asked you to be a staff member and... live in the palace. I always feel that something is weird..."

"It's not just that you think it's weird, I'm also surprised. If you are an aide, you are a much more suitable think tank than me. I don't know what King Lanling thinks...

Probably because he felt that he would not get paid for helping me find Gao Xiaolin, so he left me to work as a handyman at the house, so I can do something for him! "

Chang Qing shook his head, smiled helplessly: "Leave you to do odd jobs in the house? I can't see it."

"Did you see something?" Gu Zimo heard something in Chang Qing's words.

"This huge Lanling Palace does not lack such an unprofessional servant like you. In my opinion, staying in the Palace will definitely treat you like a superior guest. If nothing else, it depends on the attitude of Director Gao towards you, and You can sit in that carriage that he is not qualified to ride in, what does that mean?"

"What does it mean?" Gu Zimo was at a loss, why did he feel that the more Chang Qing talked about him, the more dizzy he became.

"Forget it, you can slowly understand it yourself. Anyway, I think you can get a job as an aide in the Lanling Palace. It's not bad."

"If you think there is nothing wrong with this, I will stay. But, for my parents, you have to tell me..." Gu Zimo was a little sad at the thought of being separated from his parents.

Chang Qing patted Gu Zimo's shoulder, took a deep look at Gu Zimo, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu, I will explain it clearly for you. It's you, you Be more careful yourself..."

"I know that being with you is like being with a tiger. I will keep a distance from King Lanling."

Chang Qing shook his head, smiled cryptically, and waved to Gu Zimo, signaling that he didn't need to see him off.

Gu Zimo leaned against the red pillar in the corridor, watching Chang Qing step by step out of sight, until Chang Qing was completely gone, then he called in the direction where Gao Wen had just left: "Director Gao."

Sure enough, Gao Wen didn't go far, probably because he expected that Gu Zimo would call him, and soon walked up to Gu Zimo, "What do you want, Mr. Zimo?"

Gu Zimo frowned, and asked seriously, "When will His Royal Highness Lanling come back?"
