Value peace

Chapter 58
Gu Xiyan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The incomprehensible things encountered during this period are simply more than the sum of this year.

Do you want to go to the appointment tomorrow morning?
Gu Xiyan couldn't help but hesitate.

Early the next morning, Gu Xiyan still went to Xiuhe Garden under the pretext of checking on Di Xiangju's situation.

Anyway, there are already two troubles, so what does it matter if there is one more trouble?

In the Xiuhe Garden in the summer morning, you can hear Xiaoming's chirping and melodious cry from time to time, see the crystal clear morning dew on the grass, and smell the fresh and elegant fragrance of the grass. Everything looks so quiet and beautiful, as picturesque as a poem.

When she arrived at Dicui Pavilion, she didn't see Mr. Huang immediately, but waited for a long time before Mr. Huang hurriedly appeared in the woods. From a distance, he greeted Gu Xiyan with a smile.

The two entered Dicui Pavilion and sat down to talk.

Mr. Huang said with a smile: "The second girl is also here for a small matter. Because the whole city has been locked down recently, it is inconvenient for me to go in and out. I want to ask the girl to help me deliver the envelope to my friend..." As he spoke, he squinted Looking at Gu Xiyan, as if observing her expression.

Gu Xiyan's heart moved, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Huang has found the wrong person this time. To tell you the truth, since I sneaked out of the door last time, I have been followed by my mother-in-law wherever I go, especially in the inner courtyard. , and don't move around much..."

Mr. Huang showed a pleading look: "Miss Gu, you know that our Changsheng class has always been good at acting martial arts. This time, we have not found a suitable female role for "Xiao Cui", so we want to invite Hui Xiang from the Jiangnan Dexiang class. Come to play, but her master and I have a little trouble. If I invite you, not only will you not be invited, but I am afraid you will block it. I thought about it, no one is as clever as a girl, so I had to be cheeky. Please girl... just help deliver a letter."

"This..." Gu Xiyan hesitated, "It's extremely inconvenient for me to go out. After I go back, I will discuss it with Duan Niang before I return to my husband. What do you think?"

Mr. Huang looked hopeful: "Then I will wait for the good news from the girl!"

Gu Xiyan smiled and got up and bowed her knees to Mr. Huang, saying, "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first! In case Duanniang can't find me and get anxious."

Mr. Huang hurriedly sent her out.

Gu Xiyan walked out of Dicui Pavilion in a hurry, and in the distance, she could just see the green-roofed shed next to the red bridge, and a dark blue figure bent over to work under the shed.

Gu Xiyan lifted her skirt and ran towards the Red Bridge.

"Stop her quickly." A deep and mellow voice sounded low behind her, but hit Gu Xiyan's heart like a bolt from the blue.

She yelled inwardly "No", while speeding up her pace and using all her strength to run towards the Red Bridge, she shouted loudly: "Mother Zhao..."

Before the last word "Nurse" was uttered, Gu Xiyan stopped and froze there, swallowing the words she hadn't uttered.

A tall figure enveloped her instantly, with a sharp sword that was as cold as autumn water hung on her neck.

On the other side of the red bridge, Nanny Zhao, who was wearing a dark blue dress, was looking around suspiciously.

Gu Xiyan took a deep breath, not daring to move the corners of her eyes or eyebrows.

A gust of wind blew, and the white magnolia petals gently fell on Gu Xiyan's shoulders, and then slowly slid down beside her silver-red embroidered shoes.The chill from the sword's edge around the neck slid from the neck to the chest gently like a snake.After a while, she found her own voice: "Mr. Huang, you and I are half masters and apprentices. If there is anything you can't talk about, why do you need to meet each other with swords and crossbows? It will ruin the friendship!" Her voice is sweet and glutinous, revealing a trace of delicacy, with an indescribably provocative heart.

Mr. Huang coughed lightly, and murmured: "My lord, look at this..." There was a bit of pleading in his tone.

Gu Xiyan waited quietly for the other party's reply.

"Miss Gu, let's go into Dicui Pavilion to talk." The man who stopped her from escaping said, with a mellow voice, like a cello humming, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but suddenly replied.

Crow-blue soft silk clothes, wheat-colored skin, deep facial features, bright eyes, and a resolute expression because of tightly pursed lips... Gu Xiyan couldn't help but whispered: "It's really you! !"

The man raised his eyebrows lightly, and the sword edge approached slightly.Gu Xiyan's scalp was numb, and her heart felt chilly.She smiled wryly: "Young Master, don't you know me? We met once, in Qixia Temple, Guangming Temple. You were also offering incense there that day... I was wearing a yellow dress..."

She couldn't say that the first time she saw him was in the Xiangyu Pavilion in Qixia Temple, right? At that time, this "son" who was pointing a sword at her was chasing his fleeing wife, and he was very embarrassed!
Mr. Huang's eyes flashed doubts, he looked at the man, then at Gu Xiyan.

The man gently raised his head towards Gu Xiyan, signaling her to go into Dicui Pavilion.

Gu Xiyan didn't dare to make any further moves, and immediately obediently walked into the Dicui Pavilion first, and Mr. Huang followed them and gently closed the door.

Dicui Pavilion still maintains the appearance of Xinghong tidying up, a square table, and two grand master chairs in front of the table.

After entering the room, the man put away his sword and sat on the grand master's chair. His eyes were deep and sharp, his expression was sharp and serious, and his demeanor was agile and elegant, which contained a kind of power that was ready to go.

Gu Xiyan fully believed that as long as he wanted, he could take his own life at any time.

She didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements, and stood two or three steps away from the square table with her hands down, cautiously as if walking on thin ice.

Mr. Huang stood quietly behind the man, with a reserved expression and a respectful attitude.

The entire Dicui Pavilion is filled with a tense and depressive atmosphere.

Now it is a situation where man is the knife and I am the fish.

Since he didn't kill me with a sword, he naturally thought that I was still profitable.

Gu Xiyan tried her best to relax her body so that she didn't look so scared, but her head was running fast.

My guess was confirmed.The missing Di Xiangju, the encounter in Dicui Pavilion in the early morning, the bloody smell in the car, the arrest of Zuo Xiaoyu who would rather kill the wrong than to let go, Mr. Huang who claimed that he had no time to teach Huqin but appeared in Hongshang... just don't know this What on earth did you guys get into such a big trouble?Is he one of those being hunted, or is he alone?

Gu Xiyan tried hard to recall the scenes and details of meeting this guy three times.

Ye Zisu once said "married into the Qi family for ten years", then this guy should be named Qi.To be able to call Fang Shaoqing "Senior Brother", and to be able to marry a wife who was Fang Shaoqing's childhood sweetheart, his family background should not be low... The surname is Qi, which wealthy family in the Xizhao Dynasty has the surname Qi...

Gu Xiyan's hair was wet.

Duke Yan's surname is Qi!
And this guy once said something like "I am a man from Yandi Daying".

army!

Gao Changguo!
Chase!

……

Various guesses swirled in Gu Xiyan's mind like a revolving lantern, and her eyes blinked, shining brightly like radiant obsidian.

"What a smart girl!" The man's eyes were shining with a strangeness that Gu Xiyan didn't understand, and he spoke in a low voice, his voice was as intoxicating as old wine.

Is it praise or derogation?Does it mean that you know too much?At this time, I pretended to be a fool and wondered if there was any room for redemption?
"When did you realize something was wrong?" the man said in a low voice.

"Ah!" Gu Xiyan was stunned.

She hasn't come out of her messy thoughts yet.

The man looked at Gu Xiyan with piercing eyes, and asked her repeatedly: "How did you find out?"

Gu Xiyan said blankly: "I didn't find anything!"

The man's eyes were awe-inspiring, as majestic as a mountain facing the abyss, full of oppression.

"I really didn't find anything!" Gu Xiyan said with a sweet smile, "I just got up early in the morning and took a walk in Xiuhe Garden!"

"It doesn't matter what you say." The man smiled lightly, with a cold light in his eyes, "The empress dowager has long been dissatisfied with the imperial concubine empress. The second girl must know about the powerful relationship during this period!"

Gu Xiyan smiled and lowered her eyelids respectfully.

But Mr. Huang comforted her softly from the side: "Miss Gu, we have no other intentions, just hope that the girl can deliver a letter for us!"

Gu Xiyan sneered in her heart.no other meaning?Just send a letter?I'm afraid that what I send is not a letter, but a life!
She smiled lightly and remained silent.

The man stood up slowly with a cold face, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Huang, thank you for staying on the first floor. I will go upstairs to talk with Ms. Gu." His tone seemed very polite to Mr. Huang.

Mr. Huang was very excited when he heard the words, and bowed respectfully: "I don't dare to be called hard work."

The man's cold eyes turned to Gu Xiyan, and he raised his jaw towards her.

Gu Xiyan understood, and obediently walked straight to a narrow and steep wooden staircase in the suite of Dicui Pavilion.

Her footsteps were light, and she made a slight "squeak" sound when she walked on the stairs, while the man's footsteps were firm, and she made a heavy "bang, bang, bang" sound when she walked on the stairs, the two sounds intertwined, listening to Gu Xiyan's voice The out-of-tuned huqin sound in her ears disturbed her.

It seems that today is inseparable.

What was that letter?
Why did you choose yourself to deliver the letter?

Is it a coincidence?Or premeditated?

What role did Mr. Huang play in it?

Pretending to be deaf and dumb is no longer feasible, the only way to do it is to act obediently and adapt to the situation to save your life...

Fortunately, the stairs in Dicui Pavilion were not too long. Before she fell into further chaos, they had already reached the second floor.

It can be seen that the man has been in the second real estate for a while.

There are some unused tables and chairs on the second floor of Dicui Pavilion. It may be because they can’t find a bed, so a bed of tattered wadding is spread on the floor as a bed. There was a large bowl on the ground, and there were several steamed buns in the bowl, one of which was half-eaten and thrown in the bowl at will.

Gu Xiyan sighed.

The inner courtyard of Gu Mansion is really an undefended vegetable market!
