As for Gu Yanfei, Xia Houqing had already figured out all about Gu Yanfei after they met for the first time in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing last twelfth lunar month.

He also sent people to Huaibei, and even found out everything about her in Huaibei, except how she learned this superb Taoism.

Xian Ding Yuan Hou Gu Ce is Gu Yanfei's biological father, who was once a famous general of Dajing, brave and good at fighting.

I have heard about this person Xia Houqing, but that's all. Gu Ce is just a piece of history.

A person's death is like a lamp being extinguished, which is of little importance.

Xia Houqing opened the folding fan casually, revealing a pale wrist that seemed to have been out of the sun all year round. While fanning the folding fan, she turned her gaze to Chu Yi.

"You, what do you know?" There was interest in his cold voice, and his tone was very determined.

Chu Yi met the other party's prying gaze without avoiding it, and did not intend to hide it, and said calmly: "Nine years ago, the Yue Kingdom sent 100,000 troops, but only 70,000 returned."

Since he wanted to cooperate, he naturally had to show sincerity.

Since he wanted to get information from the other party, he had to take out his chips.

Chu Yi only said this succinctly.

"Interesting!" Xia Houqing was startled for a moment, then laughed.

The corners of the red lips were raised, and the smile gradually expanded on the beautiful and flawless face, turning into a bewitching and evil smile.

This son Yi is really interesting.

His eight years as a hostage in the Yue Kingdom were like a bird in a cage. Without the permission of the saint, he could not leave the hostage. To put it bluntly, he was just a spoil of the saint, and he would be exposed to the sun on necessary occasions.

But just like that, Chu Yi still seized the opportunity to discover these clues.

According to the records in the file, there should be 80,000 troops returning triumphantly to the Yue Kingdom, that is to say, there are actually 10,000 people missing.

The folding fan in Xia Houqing's hand flapped twice again, and the strands of hair on his temples were blown up and then fell down again. The fluttering strands of hair caressed his cheeks, adding a bit of bewitchment to him, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

He recalled the files he had read, and said: "According to the files of the Ministry of War, shortly after the peace talks between the two countries, the sage issued a decree to amnesty the world, and even the army was granted an amnesty, and the 80,000 troops were all disarmed and returned to the fields..."

At that time, everyone in the Yue Kingdom was grateful for the kindness of the saint. Now that I think about it, the purpose of the saint's doing this is probably to hide the missing 10,000 people.

"Tut Tuk."

The door of the private seat was knocked suddenly, which also interrupted Xia Houqing's unfinished words.

Dressed in black and covered with silver hair, Old Qi walked in from outside the private seat expressionlessly, without looking sideways, he only said to Xia Houqing: "Master, Bailiyin is here."

"Alone?" Xia Houqing asked casually.

"There are also King Kang Chuyou of Dajing, General Jianwei Wang Nan, and King Kang's cousin Yuan Zhe." Old Qi's eyelids were half drooping, and his voice was dry without any fluctuations.

These three people all have pivotal positions in the Dajing Chaotang.

Xia Houqing looked down out of the window. A window of the private seat they were in was facing the gate of the lobby below. From his position, he could just see Chu You, Bai Liyin and his party standing at the gate of Tianyin Pavilion.

Xia Houqing only took a glance, then slowly looked away, and looked at Chu Yi firmly, "I'm here to find you."

The sunlight coming from the window made his shadow thin and long, and half of his face was sunk in the shadow. The extreme contrast between light and shadow made his outline more distinct, beautiful and bewitching.

He propped his face on his elbows, twitched his slender index finger casually at the end of his eyebrows, and asked casually, "Where did you two go today?"

There was a trace of disgust in his tone, and he attracted all cats and dogs to him.

Chu Yi and Xia Houqing looked at each other, one of them smiled softly, the other smiled coldly.

"Master Xiahou wants to stay?" Chu Yi asked without answering.

The implication of this sentence is tantamount to admitting that Baili Yin and Chu You are here to find him.

Keep? Xia Houqing seemed to have heard some interesting proposal, raised her eyebrows, and said with a light smile: "You don't see it at all."

Xia Houqing narrowed her enchanting phoenix eyes, and stared closely at Chu Yi, trying to see if he was being polite.

Chu Yi's eyes were like two deep wells, calm and waveless, as motionless as a mountain.

Since Xia Houqing couldn't see the clues, she simply didn't move, and glanced out of the corner of her eyes again, and saw that Chu You and the others had already entered the lobby under Xiaoer's respectful welcome.

He likes to watch plays, but also likes to watch people lose their temper.

Then just stay here, since they asked him to stay anyway.

Xia Houqing picked up the jug leisurely and contentedly, poured herself a glass of Xiaoyao Niang, and even poured the wine very flamboyantly.

Elder Qi retreated silently, like a ghost, walking soundlessly.

Xia Houqing took two sips of wine casually, his face suddenly changed, he turned his head to cover his face and coughed lightly twice.

His originally snow-white face turned paler, less of the usual bewitching, and more weak and sickly.

Gu Yanfei glanced at the wine in Xia Houqing's glass, muttering in his heart, telling him that his yang energy was insufficient, and he still drank cold white wine, he really wanted to die!

Xia Houqing took out a white handkerchief, wiped her mouth, and threw it away, then took out a red handkerchief, and slowly wiped her fingers.

"..." The corner of Gu Yanfei's mouth twitched slightly.

She originally wanted to get Xia Houqing a cup of talisman water to drink, but seeing how eager he was to wipe his fingers carefully three times now, she knew that this person's cleanliness was worse than the third senior brother of the sect. Certainly not.

If it was an injection, he might ask for a new injection, and throw it away after use.

That's all.

Gu Yanfei's thoughts raced, and finally stretched out an index finger and tapped on the table: "Hand."

Xia Houqing, who was wiping his palms with a handkerchief, twitched his lips, thinking: Why does he listen to her?

With that in mind, a hand stretched out.

"Keep it close to your body." Gu Yanfei patted a piece of talisman paper on his hand, feeling reluctant to part with it: This talisman is not easy to draw, and she drew dozens of pieces to become this one, which can warm and nourish the body.

The talisman paper was pasted on the palm of his left hand, and when the wind blew, a corner of the talisman paper rustled up.

Xia Houqing lowered her eyelashes, the tails of her eyes were tightened, as if she was trying to endure something.

Cleanliness is a disease. Gu Yanfei couldn't help but think of how Senior Ninth Senior Sister had jokingly commented on Third Senior Brother.

While thinking, there was already the sound of "dumping" going upstairs outside the private seat, several people came towards this side, the sound of footsteps was approaching, and there were some voices.

Chu Yi slowly made tea again. From beginning to end, he was unhurried and unhurried, as if he didn't care about the sound of footsteps approaching in the corridor outside.

Three people each have a glass of Biluochun.

The sound of messy footsteps stopped outside the private seat, and a little boy outside the door shouted in a panic: "Several guests, this private seat has guests."

"Isn't there nobody here?"

A familiar male voice rang out with a bit of arrogance, and the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside with a "squeak".

Outside the door, Chu You, dressed in a sapphire blue brocade robe, appeared in the corridor outside the private seat. He met Chu Yi's eyes, and a cold light like ice and snow flashed across Chu You's eyes.

"Hey, isn't this A Yi?" Chu You smiled slightly at Chu Yi who was inside the door. At first glance, the uncle and nephew were harmonious.

After not seeing each other for more than ten days, Chu You looked haggard, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and he looked a little sick, but his eyes were very bright.

It was a kind of ambition pierced into the bone marrow, a kind of determination like a rock and steel, with a bit of arrogance in it.

Behind him were Bai Liyin, Yuan Zhe, and another tall and mighty middle-aged man with a beard. As for Jing Shan, who was guarding outside the private seat, he had already left.

"It's a coincidence." Chu You, who was walking in the front, smiled loudly, and said to the little girl behind, "We all know each other, so it's okay to fight here."

"Give us a few jars of your signature wine."

"..." Xiao Er showed a look of bewilderment, looking at the three people in the private seat.

Chu You didn't care about Xiao Er's reaction at all, and walked directly into the private seat.

Yuan Zhe and the middle-aged man in the back also came in, and bowed to Chu Yi:

"Young master."

Yuan Zhe had just been released from the imperial prison not long ago, and he looked a little thin like Chu You, wearing a blue straight gown, a black lun scarf, elegant and refined.

Even facing Chu Yi who ordered him to be imprisoned before, his smile is still decent and polite, without the slightest resentment.

Seeing that they really knew each other, Xiaoer said cheerfully, "Those guys chat slowly, and the younger one is going to get some wine."

Yuan Zhe seemed to be gossiping, but also seemed to explain: "I heard that Tianyin Pavilion's "The Road to the Qingxiao" is wonderful, and the few of us came to join in the fun. I didn't expect to meet the eldest son here by chance."

As he said that, Yuan Zhe looked at Gu Yanfei who was sitting next to Chu Yi with meaningful eyes, "I didn't expect the second girl Gu to be here."

When he said this, all the eyes of everyone around him were directed to Gu Yanfei, including that strange middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man casually glanced at Gu Yanfei.

Originally, he only took a look because Yuan Zhe obviously knew the second girl Gu, but when he met those eyes like vast stars, he suddenly felt somewhat inexplicably familiar.

Obviously he has never seen this girl... Wait!

Gu? ! Her surname is Gu? !

The middle-aged man's eyebrows twitched, he vaguely guessed something, looked at Gu Yanfei and blurted out: "Are you Gu Ce's daughter?"

While speaking, he took two steps forward, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly realized: the second girl Gu who was famous for the Yu family case turned out to be Gu Ce's daughter.

"Yes." Gu Yanfei slightly nodded at the other party.

When her chin was lifted slightly, the line of her chin became clearer, showing a bit of coldness.

The middle-aged man looked at her, and Gu Ce's face appeared in his mind, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, "If I remember correctly, today should be Gu Ce's death sacrifice, right?"

He glanced at Gu Yanfei coldly, with a bit of displeasure in his expression.

It turned out that this was Gu Ce's daughter.

The second girl Gu who made waves and stirred up wind and rain in the capital.

Like a father, like a daughter, this girl is really just like her father, Gu Ce, impetuous, flamboyant, and likes to show off.

A girl's family came to listen to the opera on her father's memorial day. She was neither filial nor educated!

"It turns out that today is the memorial day for Marquis Xian Ding Yuan." Yuan Zhe pretended to be enlightened, and sighed, "Nine years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Bai Liyin was at the end, leaning leisurely against the door frame, looking at the turbulent private seat, not in a hurry to join, watching the tigers fight from the other side.

Gu Yanfei put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Yuan Zhe calmly, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for still thinking about my father."

"My brother and I built a dojo for my father in Wuliang Temple today and enshrined a memorial tablet. If Mr. Yuan wants to pay homage to my father, he can go directly to Wuliang Temple now."

Gu Yanfei was not interested in going around with Yuan Zhe, so he just made it clear that Chu Yi went to Wuliang Temple in full ceremonial guards, how could King Kang not know, he must have found Tianyin Pavilion for this reason.

Chu Yi liked her straightforward appearance, smiled lowly, and refilled her tea.

"Worship?" The middle-aged man sneered, frowning lines formed between his brows, and said unhappily, "Is Gu Ce worthy?!"

"General Wang, why is my father unworthy?!" Gu Yanfei restrained his expression and asked slowly.

Her father defended the common people, fought on the battlefield for more than ten years, killed tens of thousands of enemies, why is he not worthy!

The corners of Gu Yanfei's lips were slightly pursed, and there was a coldness between the beautiful and delicate eyebrows and eyes, and the whole person was a little more stern.

"Where is a soft-boned coward who has no responsibility?" Wang Nan snorted disapprovingly, his eyes were gloomy, and he said contemptuously, "Our soldiers are all throwing their heads, spilling blood, and vowing to guard every inch of the land of our country. Your father was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he surrendered before the battle, killing tens of thousands of Dajing soldiers and civilians."

"Your father is a sinner through the ages!"

Nine years ago, the army of the Yue State was coming in menacingly, and the enemy was outnumbered. Yangzhou was in a difficult situation, but Tailing City was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Gu Ce did not have no other options, but he finally chose to open the city gate and surrender. enemy.

To put it bluntly, he is still greedy for life and afraid of death.

Wang Nan thought of something, a deep shadow flashed in his eyes, and he said firmly: "A person like him should be ashamed to pay homage to tens of thousands of dead souls, what else is there to worship!"

"Instead of setting up a dojo, it's better to copy a few more scriptures for those dead souls who have died in peace, and make atonement for your father!"

Although Wang Nan didn't like the behavior of those noble families, he also hated Gu Yanfei's flamboyant people even more. A little girl stirred up the wind and the rain, and successively raped the Yu family and the Feng family, causing the court to have no peace.

"General Wang," Gu Yanfei stared at Wang Nan, his pupils were as clear as a mountain spring and as deep as an abyss, deep and boundless, lazy and proud, "Your parents died when you were young, you lived on the street, and you were taken in by your adoptive father when you were eight years old. , but just one year later, the adoptive father’s family was ruined.”

"You followed a good teacher and joined the army. With his help, you rose in the army step by step, but then the good teacher died... Hey, it seems that you still died in battle, and you are considered a hero."

"Tsk. General Wang, you are destined to be full of ups and downs in this life. The star of Pojun is the 'consumer star', which focuses on destruction and consumption. It is better to defuse the hostility on weekdays to protect the health of the family and teachers. "

With one hand hidden in her big sleeve, she counted quickly, her voice was cold and gentle, and the words were clear, with the chill of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

It was suddenly cold in the private seat.

"You... Presumptuous!" Wang Nan's face was full of clouds, turning blue and white, with veins popping up on his forehead all of a sudden, he felt ashamed that his hidden diseases and scars had been exposed in public.

He is a person who has fought on the battlefield for decades, and has been killed from the mountain of corpses. When he is angry, he bursts out with bloodthirsty hostility.

Others present knew that Wang Nan was General Jianwei with a magnanimous career in the army. They only knew that he was born in a poor family, but they didn't know that he was so hard when he was young.

Seeing Wang Nan's excited expression at this time, how could Chu You, Yuan Zhe and others not understand, Gu Yanfei was right.

The complex gazes of other people looking at him made Wang Nan even more angry, his face was hot.

Wang Nan grabbed the handle of the saber and was about to draw it out of shame...

Chu You watched coldly from the side without persuading Wang Nan. From the corner of his eyes, he observed Chu Yi's every move, and the corners of his lips curled up almost invisibly.

He wanted to see if Chu Yi would offend General Jianwei because of a beauty.

"brush--"

The long knife was half out of its sheath, with a cold light.

Gu Yanfei raised his right hand hidden in his sleeve, with a talisman between his fingers, and pushed forward casually...

It was as if a wind had blown out of nowhere, and her baggy sleeves were bulging.

Wang Nan only felt his chest tighten, as if someone had pushed his chest hard, but there was obviously no one in front of him.

He was pushed back by the invisible force and fell into a chair behind him.

With a bang, his saber fell to the ground, and the long knife was half out of its sheath, overlapping with the loud and rapid sound of gongs in the lobby below.

Wang Nan looked at Gu Yanfei in astonishment, but he still hadn't figured out what was going on.

"The play has started." Gu Yanfei said with a pun.

There was a faint smile on the corner of her lips, all the usual laziness dissipated, and the demeanor around her was clear and cold, like a snow leopard showing her sharp claws.

When the gong stopped, all the hustle and bustle of the conversation in the lobby disappeared, and the musicians downstairs started to play the drums, and a long stringed music sounded,

The play finally begins.

The actors in the lobby downstairs babbled and sang happily, but the atmosphere in the private seating was stiff.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After watching a good show, Bai Liyin applauded again and again, and said with a big laugh: "Miss Gu, not only is she skilled in swordsmanship, but also in Taoism!"

Bai Liyin is the third prince of the Yue Kingdom, so he doesn't care whether his words will offend Wang Nan.

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Nan's breath stagnated slightly, and his face sank again.

Bai Liyin stared at Gu Yanfei with burning eyes, his admiration and admiration for her were not concealed on Yinglang's face, but his eyes glanced at Chu Yi beside her, and a trace of unhappiness appeared in his heart.

Since he mentioned the marriage between the two countries at the Golden Luan Hall that day, in the past half a month, Chu Yi has made it clear several times that he can return to the country of Yue.

But he would not go back.

Bai Liyin smiled provocatively at Chu Yi, walked to Chu You's side, and stood side by side with him, as if advancing and retreating together.

The concubine of Yue Kingdom can marry anyone, it can be Chu Yi or Chu You.

but……

Bai Liyin looked at Gu Yanfei with hot eyes again, lingering on her smooth and flawless white face.

This little beauty is really interesting, he has never seen such a woman in Yue country.

He is bound to win her!
