Chapter 57
Chapter 57
Gu Ting left Jiuyuan City smoothly, ran a long way without stopping, didn't see any pursuers, didn't see any movement in the Zhenbei Palace, he was very happy in his heart, he said, it's okay to be a man disguised as a woman!
Calling you powerful, calling you smart, it’s not that you can’t catch me hahaha!
Gu Ting ordered Wu Feng to slow down and start enjoying his journey.
Having gone so far, it is impossible for Huo Yan to chase after him.The King of Zhenbei is distinguished and powerful, but it also has limitations. He has real power, and he cannot enter Beijing without an edict, nor can he leave the fief. suspect.Even if Huo Yan didn't think about himself, he still had to think about the Zhenbei Army and the people of Jiuyuan City.
"Isn't it, little leopard?"
Wu Feng, who was driving, heard his master's analysis: "That may not be true, the prince is so harsh—"
Gu Ting threw fried peanuts at him: "Shut your crow's mouth!"
Wu Feng flashed awkwardly, caught the fried peanuts and put them in his purse: "Master, where do we go?"
Gu Ting: "Go south."
Wu Feng: "Going to the capital?"
"Of course not, what's so interesting about that kind of place?" Gu Ting pinched his claws and directed, "Just pass by, let's go to Jiangnan, where the spring water is warm and beautiful Jiangnan!"
"Meow-"
The little lynx nodded solemnly, yes, go to the south, south south!
Wu Feng almost laughed out loud, why are you a lynx fooling around, it's very hot in the south, and it's summer, are you sure you can stand it?
The destination is set, and the initial direction must be towards the southeast. Gu Ting didn't know that there was an imperial decree to go to Jiuyuan, and he didn't know that someone had already chased him, and he was not far away. It will pass by Jinyang City.
His home is here, did he ever think about going to see it?Forget it.Still the same sentence, what is there to miss and go back to such a home?
He didn't even enter the city, so he only asked Wu Feng to buy some things, and he took a break with the little lynx at a roadside tea stand.
The location of this tea stand is very good, and all the people who come and go will want to take a rest, so the business is good and there are many people.Gu Ting saw a group of people, a well-dressed young man led the way, with exquisite clothes and delicate people, seeing Gu Ting looking at him, he even smiled, looking very sweet and soft.
Gu Ting also cupped his hands towards the man.
It was a meeting by chance, and there would be no intersection, Gu Ting didn't care, he didn't care, others cared.
This young man is Yu Xinglan, the young son of Yichang Houfu, the youngest son of Mrs. Hou's old mussel, since childhood, it has been smooth and smooth, and he has to be strong in everything he does, and he must be the best in everything he wants. Things must be obtained, and one kind of person is the least pleasing to the eye - someone who is about his age and looks better than him.
Gu Ting is about the same age as him, looks better than him, and has fairer skin!
It takes a moment to see a person who is not pleasing to the eye.
But the two of them were far away, and there was no need to know each other. Yu Xinglan was in a delicate mood, and felt more upset.
Then he saw a person.
A middle-aged man with wicked eyebrows and yellow teeth came over, carrying a burden with him, looking at this and that, staying for a while on the well-dressed rich man, and he didn't mind leaving others when he walked Very close, it is not a good person at first glance.
This is... Want to find rich people to touch porcelain?
Yu Xinglan noticed that this person was looking around, saw that his eyes lit up, and walked straight over, actually coming towards him?
Such disgusting eyes, such a disgusting person.
Yu Xinglan rolled his eyes, saw Gu Ting for some reason, and immediately had an idea.
"Cough-cough-cough-"
He helped the servants around him and began to act: "I have been ill for so long, and I have spent all my money. I can't even afford a better inn. I don't know how many days it will take to get to the capital... It would be great if I met that young master." Yes, maybe I can borrow some money. I heard that he is a male pet raised by a rich family. He is the best at pleasing the men. The men love him very much. This trip gave him a lot of money, even the ugly cat on his knee I was looking for... oh, it's really different for the same person..."
His voice is not high, and the angle is very ingenious. Others can't hear him, but Huang Banya is just close and can be heard just right.
What, no money?What is he extorting without money?
Is that young man over there rich?Or is it a male pet raised by men?Who wouldn't such a person cheat?It can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people!
Huang Banya immediately changed his mind, turned on his toes, and walked towards Gu Ting.
Gu Ting was just sitting there, not doing anything, when Huang Banya passed by him, he suddenly fell on the ground, the bundle fell to the ground and scattered, and of course the broken porcelain pieces inside were scattered all over the floor.
"Ah, my vase—an ancestral vase, you broke it and lost money!"
Gu Ting: ...
"Did you say me?" He pointed to himself.
Huang Banya said loudly: "Who else is it if it's not you!"
Gu Ting: ……………
It's not that he's picky, this touch of porcelain is too rough, isn't it?Moreover, his face is extremely ugly, and he has no desire to be given money at all.
Gu Ting stroked the lazy little lynx on his lap: "Oh, then you can go."
Huang Banya immediately patted his thighs and cried for his father and mother, sitting on the ground and howling: "Come and see, outsiders bully honest people, they break other people's things and don't accompany them, they still beat people--I have seniors and subordinates." There is a child, my mother can't get out of bed, and the baby is sick, so I have no choice but to take out the family heirloom and sell it for money to save my life. As a result, this cruel person not only smashed my family heirloom, but also refused to make money. My mother, my mother Son, our family has no way out, we can only die—"
Yu Xinglan covered her lips with a handkerchief, almost laughing out loud, look at this scene, how fun it is.
Huang Banya is quite confident in his own methods, he has done this kind of thing many times, and he is proficient in his techniques, and he always has no disadvantages.
This is an official road, close to the city, and most of the passers-by are foreigners. They don't want to lose face, don't want to make things big, and he is not greedy, and he doesn't ask for much money. what a big deal.
But he sat on the ground and howled for a long time. The other boy was neither surprised nor angry, he didn't blush or feel embarrassed, and he didn't feel ashamed to be pointed at by everyone, so he ignored him at all.
Not only was he ignorant, but he also watched the show with his arms folded, as if he felt that his performance was not very exciting, so he was encouraged to be more emotional and sad, otherwise he would lose if he was given a penny for his acting skills!
Even the cat sitting on him was very calm, no matter how loud or noisy it was, it didn't show any fear, at most it shook its ears, and didn't even look at him with disdain.
Huang Banya: ...
He has never encountered such a situation!
what to do?If you ask for money and others don't give it to you, how about grabbing it?But he has only touched porcelain since he was born, and he has never done anything to rob money. One line is one line, he can't string together, and it's impossible to rob it in broad daylight.
"Losing money... nine members of my family lost their lives. If you don't accompany the money, don't even think about leaving today!"
Of course threats are useless, the young man is still sitting at the tea stall without any response.
Huang Banya's throat was dry long ago, and he was mad with anger. He felt that the money would not be extorted today, so he patted his ass and stood up, pointing at Gu Ting and scolding: "You shameless bastard! You are not ashamed of coveting your body, seduced by men to give you money, but you are proud of it, and you bully others. You don't know how to be kind and compassionate, you have no humanity at all, and you are not afraid that Hualiu will die someday!"
Huang Banya was scolding vigorously, ready to scold his housekeeping skills, but he opened his mouth. Before he finished the first section, a figure suddenly fell in front of him. Before he could see his face clearly, he was kicked far away.
"puff--"
This time he really fell, fell to the ground so hard that he vomited blood.
The visitor flicked the corner of his robe, and it landed in front of the young master of the tea stall.
He is extremely tall, with sharp eyebrows and cold eyes, his outline is as sharp as a knife and an axe, his aura is mighty and domineering, his movements are chic and unrestrained, and in such a cold weather, he only wears black clothes, arrow sleeves, and front and back. Tailored to fit the figure, wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, every body line is outlined to the extreme, and the muscle lines are faintly visible.
Such a moment, such a posture, is so cool and sassy that people can't take their eyes off it!
Yu Xinglan didn't even know that the teacup in his hand was poured, his eyes were wide open, and he was full of excitement: "Quick, go, find out who this man is for me!"
So stalwart, so fierce!
Gu Ting was also taken aback and almost choked to death on the fried peanuts.
Huo Huo Huo Huo Yan?
why is he hereHow can he be here!
Huo Yan turned around, his face livid: "You left me just to be humiliated and bullied by others?"
"Cough, cough, cough—" Gu Ting choked on the water, his face turned red from coughing, and he couldn't stop at all.
What makes someone humiliate and bully?Does he look like a loser?It’s just that this journey is really boring. I finally met something interesting and wanted to watch more dramas. Even if Huo Yan didn’t come, he was about to move. If he didn’t move, Wu Feng couldn’t bear to beat someone. Who knew this The master came so timely?
With a dark face, Huo Yan patted Gu Ting on the back lightly, and when he stopped coughing, he stopped and walked away: "Come with me."
Gu Ting was dragged away before he could say anything, and the little lynx jumped off his lap, very angry, meowing at Huo Yan.
Of course Huo Yan didn't have time to pay attention to it, it couldn't shout at anyone, the little lynx was out of anger, stepped on the face of the yellow die, jumped onto Wu Feng's shoulder, and waved its claws forward: "Meow——"
What are you doing in a daze, why don't you keep up!
"Ah—it scratched me to death, the wild cat scratched people to death—you should lose money before leaving!"
He was really unlucky this time, he lost both money and money, others not only refused to pay him, but also kicked him and scratched his paw, his stomach hurts so much, I don't know if he has any internal injuries!My eyes hurt too, I don't know if I will be blind!
I also knew that Gu Ting couldn't break Huo Yan's hand at all, so don't even try, but he couldn't catch his breath just now, and he couldn't speak enough, so he pointed backward like a fool.
Huo Yan snorted coldly: "You don't need to worry about it, someone will take care of it."
Gu Ting still pointed backwards.
Huo Yan's face turned darker: "You can't lose even small things!"
Gu Ting glanced back, sure enough, Fan Dachuan had brought people there... How could it be possible that the King of Zhenbei had no one to wait on him when he was traveling?Hearing it again, the little lynx was talking to Wu Feng. There was no problem anywhere, so he became quiet and let Huoyan drag him away.
He is very sensible, it’s okay to run away secretly, but if he is caught and resists, what should he do if someone gets angry and beats him up?He has no martial arts, unlike the thick-skinned Huo.
Huo Yan narrowed his eyes: "Where is your car?"
Gu Ting pointed in a direction.
Pulling people up, Huo Yan poured a cup of hot tea and fed it to Gu Ting.
Gu Ting felt a little awkward, but at this juncture, he didn't dare to make King Zhenbei angry, so he obediently drank from his hand.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, his breath finally came back, his throat was straightened, and there was no more discomfort.
Huo Yan felt very uncomfortable, and glanced at the window that was only covered with a layer of screen: "Why don't you close the window?" Then looked at the thin quilt in the car, "Just this quilt? Did Wu Feng swallow the money? I don't know how to buy a car." Nice car?"
"What's the matter with this table? It doesn't look strong at first glance. The tea is old tea, and the hot water is not hot?"
He knocked on the table with his knuckles, his brows were furious, and he was critical of all kinds. In his eyes, this carriage was not good enough. Apart from the above problems, the charcoal stove was not warm enough, the hand stove was not good enough, and even the food for the little lynx was not good enough. The pots are too low-level, not at all outrageous.
At the end of being picky, he concluded with a dark face: "You left me just to suffer? Huh?"
Gu Ting: ...
How can someone answer this question?
Can enjoy who is willing to suffer?But isn't it during the journey, there are always inconveniences, and he will enjoy it after he settles down. It can't be so simple, and then again, who dares to compare with your Zhenbei Palace?
According to your government's standards, whose life is not rough?
"Meow-"
Finally, the little lynx was equipped with a humanoid tool, slipped in through the curtain of the car, squatted beside Gu Ting, and stared at Huo Yan with a serious round face.
Huo Yan was even picky about the little things: "I'm usually not very strong, but now that the master is being bullied, why doesn't he even bark? Huh?"
Gu Ting immediately hugged the little lynx into his arms: "Don't talk about it!"
It's fine to say that he is, what mistake did cutie make?He is just a poor and innocent little cat!
Huo Yan looked over sharply.
Gu Ting: ...
I don't know why, it seems a bit vain.Obviously this journey is very happy, enjoying himself, and taking good care of himself, why does everything seem to be wrong when Huo Yan comes?
Huo Yan pinched the center of his brows, and after being picky from inside to outside, he still couldn't get over it: "What kind of male favorite... I don't even want you to say that about yourself, it's too disrespectful, you're willing to give up..."
His face was black and his voice was a little gritted, but at this time and this place, for some reason, he looked a little pitiful and helpless.
Gu Ting was stunned, obviously I was the one who worked hard, why do you look like you are more wronged?
The wind passed through the treetops, and the atmosphere was weird. He suddenly realized something: "You... you said that you were disrespectful before. Do you mean you are disrespectful to me?"
"Otherwise," Huo Yan frowned, "Who else is there besides you? Tell me."
After a while, Huo Yan suddenly narrowed his eyes again, and suddenly asked such a stupid question——
"Don't you think... I'm talking about myself?"
Gu Ting: ...
Huo Yan: ……………
Gu Ting sat down with his head bowed, and rubbed his nose guiltily.
Huo Yan's forehead twitched, he was about to die of anger!
"How dare you misunderstand me so much!"
If it weren't for the fact that the carriage was too small and the things were too rough, and his sweetheart was still in the carriage, the carriage would have been torn apart!
Gu Ting squeezed his fingers: "Then you didn't make it clear back then..."
Huo Yan gritted his teeth: "Is there any need to talk about this kind of thing! Where's your brain!"
Gu Ting hesitated: "I was wrong, I'm sorry."
The little lynx felt that the atmosphere was not right, so it moved to Gu Ting's side, sat down towards Huo Yan, and let out a coquettish "meow".
One big one and one small one, all in the same posture.
It's quick to admit your mistake!
Huo Yan is so smart, he immediately understands that the source of everything is these three words, disrespect!Gu Ting has always misunderstood that he doesn't want to get close to him, has been rejecting the relationship between the two, and has always held a negative attitude towards past achievements, so it hurts his heart, and he has to leave no matter what!
He really... He really took a lot of blame. If he hadn't accidentally made it clear today, he wouldn't know what to do in the future!
"That..." Gu Ting looked at Huo Yan quietly, and asked cautiously, "Why are you here?"
The little lynx then tilted its furry round head: "Meow?"
Huo Yan: ...
He was really going to die of anger, but he couldn't really get angry with the two little ones in front of him, so he just snorted coldly.
Gu Ting was very worried, and carefully looked around outside: "The feudal lord is not allowed to leave the fief without an edict, it's not good for you to be seen like this, why don't you go back quickly?"
Huo Yan sneered: "How about you, go with me?"
Gu Ting: ...
After waiting for a long time without saying a word, Huo Yan was angry again: "You still want to run?"
Gu Ting was so tired, he bit the bullet and apologized again: "I misunderstood you, I was wrong, but nothing else matters now, if you continue to show your face outside, it's not good if someone finds out..."
The little thing was so ruthless, but Huo Yan couldn't do it, so he closed his eyes and said, "The emperor summoned me to Beijing."
"Entering the capital?" Gu Ting was taken aback, he didn't need to think deeply, he knew that this matter was not simple, "He wants to attack you?"
The relationship between the Zhenbei Palace and the imperial court has always been delicate. According to folk rumors, the Zhenbei King has become the backbone of the Great Xia. How could the emperor be careless?Even if he can't take it down, he has to beat him hard to let him know whose world this is, and what is the name of the dragon chair on the Golden Luan Hall.
Gu Ting's mind was spinning quickly: "You are only called to Beijing? No other requirements?"
The little thing still cares about him. When it comes to business, he puts his running behind. The most concerned thing is still his safety.
Huo Yan stared fixedly at Gu Ting, and he couldn't hide the longing in his eyes anymore: "Call me and my family to go together, and enjoy the same appreciation with the Lantern Festival."
It's a pity that Gu Ting didn't see it, so he slapped the table with his little hand: "You want family members, what kind of lights are you rewarding, this is the set of taking hostages!"
Absolutely not!
He squinted his eyes and looked straight at Huo Yan: "Don't tell me, you brought Tai Wangfei or Huo Yue and Huo Jie with you."
He suddenly had a ferocious expression, and the little lynx imitated his example, and immediately began to tremble, and roared fiercely at Huo Yan: "Meow!"
Huo Yan pressed down on the angry cat: "No, I didn't bring anyone with me."
Gu Ting was satisfied, but he also sighed: "Then you will be punished, the crime of disrespect is a bit difficult, what do you think about the reason for not bringing your family with you? The emperor is not stupid, how could he not know... "
"If you punish the crime, you will punish the crime. At worst, you will be punished. If you die, you will not die. At most, you will be crippled. It doesn't matter. Anyway, I am not married yet, and I have no wife or children..."
Huo Yan is so smart, while saying this with a fearless face, the tone of the tone is deliberately different, which is very instructive——
Gu Ting noticed the words 'not married' and 'no wife' almost immediately.
That's right, relatives are family members, and wives are also family members. Huo Yan is not married yet, so doesn't he have himself?He holds the old prince's jade pendant in his hand, and he believes all the rumors about Jiuyuan City's 'heart favorite'!
After thinking about it quickly, Gu Ting felt that this was really a wonderful idea, and immediately slapped his chest proudly: "I'll go with you!"
Huo Yan's eyes burst into brilliance: "Really?"
Gu Ting is not stupid, he immediately reacted: "You chased me... on purpose? You think so too?"
Huo Yan didn't explain, just looked at him quietly, and asked softly, "Are you willing to help me?"
Gu Ting's ears turned red.
He is not afraid of toughness, quarrels, scheming, thick-skinned, even death, but he can't stand this.
Huo Yan asked him for help, how could he not help?
Huo Yan watched Gu Ting's expression change, and immediately followed suit: "For the last time, as long as you help me and decide where to go later, I won't bother you."
Gu Ting was startled: "Really?"
Huo Yan: "This king dares to promise, and he will definitely do it."
Gu Ting achieved his goal, but for some reason, he felt a little bit disappointed.But it was only for a moment, and the loss disappeared. He thought happily, there is nothing wrong with postponing his trip to Jiangnan, and it will be April in the world, and the fragrance will be so beautiful, wouldn't it be great?
"Okay, I agree with you, that's it!"
Gu Ting raised his hand, waiting for Huo Yan to give him a high five.
Wait until this matter is over before going to Jiangnan!
Huo Yan sent his palm over——
"Papapa" three times, the appointment is made!
He knew that the little thing was soft-hearted and would definitely agree, and at the same time secretly decided in his heart, this time, he must plan carefully, tie the little thing tightly, and never let him want to leave again!
It is true, King Zhenbei is also proud, he raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Gu Ting with incomparable confidence: "Don't worry, this king will never allow his wife to have an accident or suffer any grievances."
Gu Ting: ...
He really wanted to remind the other party that this was a fake, and he didn't need to be so sincere, but then he thought, if the acting is real, the critical moment will be more like it, and it will not arouse suspicion.
The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his eyes were full of cunning: "Everyone cooperates to do things, ugly words come first, my temper is not very good, and I may lose face to others if I don't care about it, or I may lose face to the prince if he doesn't care... Mentally prepare."
Huo Yan looked at him with dark eyes: "Just feel free to come here boldly, the king is looking forward to it."
Gu Ting: ...
What does it mean to come with confidence and boldness, what are you looking forward to!
People talk in the car, but outside the car there are actually a bunch of people eavesdropping.
The king of Zhenbei was surrounded by Jingwei when he was traveling, so he didn't have to squeeze in front of him at all, with one ear, he could hear it as soon as he concentrated his thoughts.After listening to all the beautiful ones, they shook their eyes at each other, saying exactly the same thing in their hearts.
After becoming Mr. Gu, I won't run away anymore!But this is only temporary, it depends on the future, come on, my lord, don't be cowardly, my lord!There will be two rounds in the next big net, this time I can remember clearly, Mr. Gu is extremely smart, you must not underestimate the enemy!It really doesn't work... If this man has a lover and a concubine, just hold it down and make good things happen!Coincidentally, I heard that Mr. Gu's family is in the capital, so why not propose a marriage by the way?
Gu Ting didn't know what the outsiders thought, he only knew that he suddenly received a letter, which was written by Meng Zhen, saying that he had received the imperial decree and would go to Beijing to face the saint.
Want to face the saint, Meng Zhen himself!What is the emperor doing here?A double kill?
Gu Ting was so worried that he replied immediately. While asking about the specific process, he also asked about Meng Ce——
You went to Beijing alone, and your brother-in-law's brother actually allowed it?Is he crazy!
Hundreds of miles away, Meng Zhen received the reply and turned to his cold-faced guard: "Do you want to tell Teng Pao?"
It was snowing outside and it was very cold. The guards put a cloak on Meng Zhen's body tightly, and carried him into the inn together with his clothes: "As the little prince wishes."
Meng Zhen blushed immediately: "You can't call it that..."
The guard rubbed his chin against his forehead: "Why?"
Meng Zhen puffed his face: "Because my brother is the king of Guzang, only my brother's son can be called the little prince."
The guard chuckled: "I can say yes."
Meng Zhen lowered his head slowly: "You don't have to wrong yourself so much..."
The guard hugged the person in his arms very tightly: "I am not wronged, not at all."
He couldn't tell how happy he was to be able to hold the person in his arms so openly, without any strange looks, without any undue persuasion.
If possible, I want to be your bodyguard for the rest of my life.
