After Gu Xun left Zhangtai Palace, he went to deal with the problem of the Five Internal Organs Temple, and then went home.
But as soon as she entered the backyard, Yan Lingji jumped down from the book whose leaves had just begun to grow, and stopped in front of Gu Xun.
"What are you..." Gu Xun looked at Yan Lingji, who had a few broken leaf buds hanging on her body, and said with a smile.
Yan Lingji followed Gu Xun's gaze, patted the leaves off her body, and then took out two invitations from her arms, "Here, Jing Salamander asked me to hand them over to you."
"Huh?" Gu Xun took the things curiously, then opened them and looked at the contents.
Yan Lingji grabbed Gu Xun's arm, pulled him into the pavilion with his head lowered while reading, made him sit down, and then asked, "Where did you go today?"
Before Gu Xun left, he only said that he would leave Xianyang for something, but did not say what he was going to do.
At this time, Gu Xun also briefly browsed the contents of the invitation, raised his head and replied, "Oh, I went to Taiyi Mountain."
"Taiyi Mountain?" Yan Lingji's eyes lit up slightly, "I remember that's the Taoist territory, right?"
Gu Xun didn't wait for Yan Lingji to say anything else before he interrupted, "Yes, it's Taoism, but I'm afraid you won't like that place."
"Why?" Yan Lingji asked in confusion and dissatisfaction.
Gu Xun simply explained, "Taoists are quiet and inactive, and their disciples... each one is more boring than the other."
There are very few Taoist disciples like Xiao Ling who are relatively sophisticated, and it is probably because he has only just started. If he stays for a long time, he might be assimilated.
Yan Lingji disagreed and retorted, "That's what makes it interesting, I..."
Gu Xun interrupted again and reminded, "I am going to Tianzong, and most of the adult disciples of Tianzong are not much weaker than you. With the numerical advantage, unless I help you, otherwise..." p>
Gu Xun didn't say the rest, but he understood the meaning. Without Gu Xun's intervention, Yan Lingji would have been thrown directly off the mountain by the Tianzong people.
Yan Lingji was choked by this cruel fact, and in the end she could only curl her lips and say, "Hey!"
Gu Xun touched her long, silky black hair and comforted her, "Don't be impatient. I'm going to go out to Shu County in a few days. If you want to follow me, you can go and have fun."
"Shu County..." Yan Lingji's eyes flickered. She didn't know much about this place. It was said that the environment seemed to be very harsh. Of course... it was still much better than the Lingnan area.
"Let's talk about it then." Yan Lingji thought for a moment and didn't say anything. She just nodded for the time being, and then asked about the invitation, "By the way, who invited you to be a guest?"
Speaking of this, Gu Xun couldn't help but show a weird smile, "Oh, these two treaters happen to be young masters."
"Master?"
"One is Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, and the other is Prince Dan of Yan."
Upon hearing these two people, Yan Lingji suddenly showed a narrow smile.
Fortunately for Mr. Changping, although she remembered that Gu Xun said that this person had nothing to do with her, but enemies were not important in fact. They were just those who had been crushed to ashes and those who were about to be crushed to ashes.
But Prince Yan Dan is interesting.
During the previous trip, she had learned a lot of secrets by listening in, including the relationship between Prince Yan Dan and Concubine Dongjun Yan. Although it was not clear at the time, she could roughly guess it later.
In the past few days, whenever she had time, she went to Yan Dan's mansion to watch a show. Unfortunately, it was not very successful. She has not gained anything yet. She doesn't know whether it is because Concubine Yan is too good at hiding, or because she has not taken action yet. Well...she
I hope it’s the former.
Now that Yan Dan has invited Gu Xun to be a guest, Yan Lingji really wants to watch the show... It would be best if Concubine Yan can also appear together to make the show perfect.
It’s interesting to think about it!
Gu Xun glanced at her and knew that this woman definitely didn't mean anything good, so he couldn't help but reached out and knocked her on the head, "What's wrong with holding it back?"
"Humph!" Yan Lingji glanced at Gu Xun unhappily, then put on a calm expression and said nonchalantly, "Who is holding it back... I just want to ask you if you will go to the appointment?" "Why do you care about this?" Gu Xun folded his hands on his chest and looked at Yan Lingji with scrutiny.
"Just ask." Yan Lingji still pretended to be casual, "We were outside before, and didn't our family receive a lot of invitations? We didn't go to those because you were away. Now that you are back, don't you have to go and walk around?
”
"This is not something you will worry about." Gu Xun sneered at Yan Lingji.
"You..." Yan Lingji took a deep breath, "I just want to join in the fun. If you go, remember to take me with you."
"Uh..." Gu Xun thought for a while, looked at Yan Lingji who really wanted to go, and relaxed, "Okay, I'll take you with me if I go."
These days are no different than modern times. You don’t want to bring your family, let alone your wife, to an appointment. But since Yan Lingji wants to go, then...what the hell are the rules? Anyway, these two are not friendly forces, and they won’t be beaten to death by themselves.
You have to be killed by Ying Zheng.
If they felt uncomfortable because of this, Gu Xun felt that he would be more comfortable.
………………
The next day, Gu Xun went to the appointment.
Whether it was Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, or Prince Dan of Yan, neither of them forced Gu Xun to be invited to the palace at a specific time. They just asked Gu Xun to inform him in advance before he decided to go to the appointment.
Of course, there is also an implicit requirement, that is, the time when Gu Xun visits must be before Qi Wangjian arrives in Xianyang, or after Qi Wangjian leaves.
In short, during the period when King Qi Jian was in Xianyang, neither of them had time to greet Gu Xun.
Qi Wangjian will arrive in Xianyang in only three to five days at most. Since Gu Xun has decided to be invited, he is not going to delay. Yesterday night, he sent someone to notify Xiong Qi that he would be here today.
I came to visit Xiong Qi first because Xiong Qi’s status is higher.
Theoretically speaking, as the future King of Yan, Prince Dan of Yan has a more noble status, but who made this the state of Qin? In the end, Yan Dan is just a proton. How can a proton be compared with the state of a country?
Although Gu Xun doesn't like them both, he doesn't need to go out of his way to embarrass Xiong Qi at the moment... This time with Yan Lingji doesn't count.
The residence of Lord Changping, also known as the Prime Minister You's Mansion, is located south of the palace, not far or near from Xianyang Palace, not far or near from Zhangtai Palace.
The reason why he deliberately placed his residence in such a non-compatible place was because on the one hand, it was to make it easier for him to go to Zhangtai Palace to handle government affairs, and on the other hand, it was to make it easier for him to go to Xianyang Palace to visit the Queen Mother of Huayang, whose surname was Mi.
Elders.
Gu Xun didn't take a carriage when he came to visit. He took Yan Lingji and walked to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion waiting at the door was speechless when he saw the guest who suddenly appeared from the end of the street.
Generally speaking, when having a banquet at home, even if the two people live next to each other, they should come by carriage, unless they are close friends who do not need to pay attention to formality.
Obviously, his master and this guest have not reached that level yet, and probably... they will never reach that level.
