Chapter 12 This calamity kills the body
"It's just below." Liu Dahong didn't dare to neglect here and bowed down to say yes.
"Haha, let's come in with me. Leave the carriage to the guards, and they will take care of you."
Liu Dahong and his group handed over the carriage to the guards and followed the old housekeeper into the royal palace.
In the ancient family, there were one king and three marquises, which could be said to have reached the extreme of a minister. The mansion was also filled with water pavilions and towers, and carved railings and jade bricks. Not to mention the young girls who had never left the Changmen, even the old world like Liu Dahong who had seen the scene of Chang'an was stunned.
The old butler took a few people through several courtyards and came to a guest room. He ordered to the maid waiting beside him: "Take a few distinguished guests to stay."
He turned around and said to everyone, "Everyone will rest here today. Liu Pai, come with me, the prince has something to say to you."
Liu Dahong handed the luggage to his servant, responded to the old butler, and followed him.
Su Changan and Gu Ning were arranged in the same room. Su Changan touched the white bedding and felt soft and smooth. He sighed in his heart that the prince's mansion is different. Any bed is many times better than the one in his home. He turned around and saw Gu Ning frowning again. He was surprised and asked, "Hey, I said what's wrong with you? Today I see that you frown more than in Changmen Town for several years?"
Gu Ning smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "Don't Brother Su think there is something wrong?"
"No? Yes, it's true that you are a member of the Gu family. You shouldn't live here like us. You have to have your own room, right?" Su Changan said casually.
"Brother Su wants to go wherever he wants! There are tens of thousands of factors next to the Gu family. My father also lives in such a house, let alone me? What I am talking about is other things?"
"Other things?"
"Yes! Brother Su doesn't think that the guards in the Gu family patrol frequently today?" Gu Ning said with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Is that true?" Su Chang'an recalled that today, the ancient mansion was indeed every three steps, and there were guards with swords patrolling from time to time, but he had never been to the ancient mansion. This prince's mansion was like this on weekdays, so he didn't realize it.
"I thought the prince's mansion was like this on weekdays." Su Changan responded, and finally asked again, "Is this strange?"
"Yeah, it's very strange." Gu Ning said: "The Gu family's magistrate can be said to be the most powerful figure in the Northland. Even in the Great Wei Dynasty, he is also one of the best people. Not to mention ordinary people, even evil spirits can't escape the Gu Tai Ye's wise eyes if they want to enter the mansion. Why do you need these guards? But look, when we entered the city today, the levels were tight, and now the Gu Mansion is chess-studded. The princes who like to pretend on weekdays have not appeared, and they all seem to be huddled in the room. The entire Gu family is strictly guarding, as if they are facing a great enemy!"
Gu Ning spoke carefully, and Su Changan's scalp became numb.
"Isn't that serious? Prince Gu still has people who are afraid of?" Su Changan said casually, as if he wanted to dispel the terrifying aura that Gu Ning had just created unintentionally.
"In theory, except for a few stars and the Holy Emperors in the Great Wei world, no one will make the Gu family so afraid. But if anything happens, you and I should be careful."
"Yeah." Su Changan responded, holding the big sword, he felt more at ease. This sword was strange. Mo Tingyu gave it to him when he died, but since that day, no matter how hard Su Changan tried, he could not pull out the knife. It was like a wild beast stinging, quietly lurking in his cave, waiting for a rival to arrive, and then like that night, the geese came out, covered with snow and covered the stars, and howled the rivers and mountains.
As he thought about it, Su Changan's eyelids began to fight. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to that night. He saw Mo Tingyu jumping high with a knife, saw Wutong crying and pear blossoms raining, and saw the woman in green taking off the white gauze, revealing a face that he couldn't see clearly.
"Brother Su! Brother Su!" Just as Su Changan tried his best to see the woman clearly, Gu Ning's voice came to his ears.
"Yeah." Su Changan responded, he stood up, rubbed his eyes, looked at Gu Ning who was already dressed, and asked, "When is it?"
"It's already the hour!" Gu Ning said, "Tao Liu Biao has just said that we have packed our luggage and ready to set off."
"Oh, I've slept for so long?" Su Changan was a little surprised, and he slept for four or five hours without realizing it.
"Yes! I originally wanted to ask Brother Su to have dinner with me, but seeing that Brother Su was sleeping too well, I couldn't bear to disturb him. But Momo was afraid that Brother Gu would be hungry, so she asked me to bring some pancakes for preparation." As she said that, Gu Ning handed over a light green handkerchief wrapped in pancakes, embroidered with flowers that Su Changan could not recognize.
"Buy it?" Su Changan seemed to wake up suddenly.
"Yes." Gu Ning said so.
Su Changan hurriedly took the handkerchief and opened it carefully. There were three pancakes inside, emitting a burst of fragrance. Su Changan had not eaten overnight. At this time, he smelled such a fragrance and couldn't resist the thrust of his index finger. He took a pancake and started eating.
Today's crispy cakes were very delicious, Su Changan thought secretly. However, he didn't know whether it was delicious because of Momo or because of the crispy cakes.
"By the way, was there nothing wrong yesterday?" Su Changan asked Gu Ning with satisfaction.
"Yeah. It's nothing. It seems that I was making a fuss and let Brother Su laugh at me."
"It's okay, what you said makes sense. You should be more careful when you go out. My father often tells me that you must be harmful to others and beware of others."
"..." Gu Ning felt that this seemed to be wrong, but Su Changan had a pancake in his mouth and his pronunciation was vague, so he did not hear any problem there for a while.
Su Changan ate two in one breath, feeling unsatisfied and was about to eat the third one, but suddenly remembered something, put the cake in his hand back into the handkerchief, and then carefully wrapped it and put it in his arms.
"Why didn't Brother Su eat it? Is it not suitable for the taste?" Gu Ning felt strange when he saw this. The crispy cake was not big. Su Changan had not had a meal last night. I think he should be so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.
"Uh..." It seemed that some secret was broken, Su Changan's face looked a little embarrassed. He insisted on calmingly: "It's getting late, I'll eat later. I'll go and meet Brother Liu and the others first. I'm talking about it."
As he said that, he didn't wait for Gu Ning to continue asking questions, so he put the knife on his back and pulled Gu Ning to walk outside the palace.
Under the guidance of the Gu family servants, they came to the front of the Gu family.
Liu Dahong and his group were already waiting here. Su Changan raised his hand to say hello to Liu Dahong, but found that Liu Dahong's face was ugly and terrible. I thought something unpleasant happened last night, but it was not convenient to ask more questions in front of the Gu family at this moment. Bian and Gu Ning got on the carriage together. However, they did not see the Gu family's young master who promised to be in the same carriage yesterday.
Su Chang'an was surprised and thought that the young master of the Gu family had a big show and wanted everyone to wait for him. However, when Liu Dahong raised his horse whip, the escort team set out.
"Tao Liu Biao, aren't you waiting for that young master of the Gu family?" Gu Ning was also very surprised and asked.
"I have received it. It's a lady. I have arranged to have a car with Miss Su Mo." Liu Dahong said on the other end, his voice a little bitter.
Gu Su and the other two naturally heard something strange, but they didn't know where to ask. The atmosphere in the carriage was a little dull.
The escort team continued to move forward and left Beilan City in a blink of an eye.
"I don't know that lady, maybe Brother Gu still knows her." Su Changan couldn't stand such an atmosphere after all, and tried to resolve the embarrassment in the carriage through some topics.
"Gu Xianjun." Liu Dahong said, but his voice became even bitter.
"Gu Xianjun? This name is so familiar." Su Changan thought for a while, feeling that he had heard of this name, but he couldn't think of it for a while. He was about to ask Gu Ning beside him, but he saw Gu Ning's face was pale and bloodless.
"But one of the three marquises of the Gu family, the Jingtian-Weather Gu Xianjun." Gu Ning's voice was trembling, as if something was stuck in his throat.
"Yes." Liu Dahong responded dullly outside the carriage.
"Liu PaoTou is confused! How dare you take such a pao! This is a disaster!" Gu Ning's voice was very low, or she was afraid that she would be heard by her classmates.
Liu Dahong was silent, or he was speechless.
"Why is this?" Su Changan was puzzled and could not understand why other young masters of the Gu family could give him away. Why would this Gu Xianjun become a disaster for his own death?
"Brother Su, you don't know. Although Gu Xianjun is the same age as you and me, he is very talented and a famous genius in the north. He inherited the position of one of the three marquises of the Gu family at a young age and is the most important junior of the Gu family. If such a character really wants to go to Chang'an, why do you need Liu Biaotou escort? Which of the Gu family's own masters is not hundreds of times better than Liu Biaotou?"
"Think about the vision of Beilan City and the Gu family's royal mansion that I told you yesterday. The Gu family has provoked something they can't afford, and the target of this thing is very likely to be this Jingtianwei Gu Xianjun."
The wind and snow suddenly became heavier, and Su Changan felt a little cold when he opened the curtain of the carriage.
"Young Master Gu said yes." Liu Dahong also said at this time: "I heard yesterday that the person I was going to escort was Gu Jiajing in the weather. I was determined to refuse, but the people in the royal palace were so domineering that they would force us to live, and you would not even be spared. I, the old Liushan Ye Village man, have a cheap life, and it is impossible to die a hundred times. But if I harmed the lives of the Lord and the Young Master, I don't know how to face the people in the nine springs."
"The Gu family wanted to send Gu Xianjun safely to Chang'an, but did not want to attract the attention of some people, so they naturally had to do some tricks. You and I were the tricks."
Guning's voice became cold, and something flashed in her eyes, as if it was about to gush out.
Su Changan had seen this thing in Mo Tingyu's eyes. He knew it was anger!
