Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again

Chapter 42: The Horned Master Arrives at X with a Blade

A resounding voice rang out outside the palace gate: "Master Jiao is here—"

Like an echo in a valley, a voice rang out from inside the palace gate: "Master Jiao has arrived—"

Then, many voices were heard one after another, conveying the same message from outside to inside: "Master Jiao has arrived—"

The heavy black city gate slowly opened, and a tall dark brown horse carrying a young man wearing a black cloak with a gold fox fur collar walked in proudly.

The man sitting high on the horse was wearing a light pine smoke-colored robe embroidered with gold thread. Countless tiny gems inlaid between the embroidery on the lapels sparkled beautifully under the afterglow of the setting sun.

His waist-length hair was tied up high with a silver hair crown inlaid with pigeon blood rubies, and his profile had a sharp beauty.

The horse jumped onto the steps and climbed up skillfully.

The guards on duty on both sides of the stairs straightened their ranks and saluted the man on horseback.

The handsome man held the reins indifferently, looking forward, with an upright posture and a majestic demeanor. There was a cold indifference between his eyebrows, as if no one or anything in the world could move him.

He is the man who made an agreement with the Hunyuan Zheng family to be Zhang Xueming's "fiancé" within this year, the famous Mr. Gong Er, Gong Shangjiao.

Even though he was urgently recalled to the palace, he did not forget to take with him the wealth he earned from this trip - dozens of black-clad guards followed him in an orderly manner, carrying boxes filled with gold, silver, jewelry and goods, and entered the palace in a mighty manner.

When he reached the end of the stairs, Gong Shangjiao did not see the expected figure. He frowned slightly and his eyes dimmed.

He dismounted and threw the reins to Jin Fu, his personal green jade guard who had caught up with him.

The people waiting on the roadside today were not his younger brother Gong Yuanzheng, who would greet him with a bright and cheerful smile every time he returned, but Nanny Jin, the housekeeper of the Jiao Palace whom he had previously designated to go to the Hunyuan Zheng family to pick up the bride, Qing Zhi, the next candidate for the housekeeper of the Jiao Palace who was designated to serve the "Second Miss Zheng" of the Hunyuan Zheng family, and an unfamiliar guard.

He had a bad feeling.

He was summoned back to the palace with two urgent messages. It was obvious that something happened in the palace. He was afraid that there might be spies in the reception base who leaked the news, so he made up a random excuse and asked him to come back to choose another bride.

But seeing that Nanny Jin couldn't wait for him to return to the Corner Palace to speak, Qing Zhi left "Second Miss Zheng" behind and appeared here...

It couldn’t be that the incident at the palace gate was related to Zhang Xueming, right?

Gong Shangjiao was the only one who knew the deal between him and the Zheng family. When he reported this "marriage" to Zhiren, he did not say anything definite.

It was just that Zhang Xueming was asked to enter the Corner Palace to avoid disaster for a year according to Master Zheng's plan.

After one year, Zhang Xueming wanted to stay, so Gong Shangjiao married her and had a child with her.

Since she didn't want to stay, Gong Shangjiao recognized her as his sister, prepared a dowry and sent her to a safe place.

With the conveniences the Zheng family has given him and the help that Master Zheng has given him over the years, if the Zheng family is in trouble and the palace gate cannot help, it is impossible for Gong Shangjiao to sit idly by.

The Zheng family's affairs have not been resolved yet, and Zhang Xueming cannot possibly offend the palace at this time.

unless……

Someone bullied her so badly that she suddenly got up and beat that person up?

The bride to be chosen just entered the palace last night. Who could she beat?

Wielding a blade? Young Master?

Or were both Zhi Ren and the young master beaten?

Gong Shangjiao's face sank, his deep eyes were full of helplessness.

He walked over, and Nanny Jin and Qing Zhi finally waited for the backbone to come back, and hurriedly saluted him:

"Old servant Jin Ping asks Master Jiao how he is."

"Your servant Qingzhi wishes to ask how Mr. Jiao is doing."

Gong Shangjiao waved his hand: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Nanny Jin said, "To answer Master Jiao, Miss Zheng entered the palace last night. Just as the blade was ordered to find the assassin who had sneaked into the bride candidates, Miss Zheng was imprisoned in the dungeon with the other bride candidates.

No one knows what happened afterwards. The assassin was caught, but Master Yu and his guard Jin Fan, Master Zheng and Miss Zheng Er, as well as other brides to be chosen and several guards of the Yu Palace were all drugged and remain unconscious to this day. The doctors at the clinic cannot find the cause. "

"Yuan Zheng and Miss Zheng Er were also drugged and are still unconscious? Gong Ziyu as well?" Gong Shangjiao's stern face became even more serious, "Where are they now, the clinic?" There were a lot of bad news, but there was also one good news - those who fainted were all drugged, not his "fiancée" who had beaten them so badly that they were unconscious.

As he was about to set off for the clinic to find out what was going on, four topaz guards hurried over and stopped him.

One of them clasped his fists and said, "Master Jiao, Zhiren has ordered you to go to Zhiren Hall immediately. The three elders are also here and have important business to attend to."

Gong Shangjiao's expression froze, and he waved his hand at Nanny Jin and Qing Zhi, saying, "You go back to the clinic first and take good care of Yuan Zheng and Second Miss Zheng. I'll go see them later."

He turned and walked towards the Blade Hall. Four topaz guards protected him in the middle, as cautiously as if they were escorting some treasure.

……

Night comes early and fast in the valley.

Suddenly, dusk rose from all directions, rolling inward like waves, covering the sky and the earth.

The leaves swayed in the cold wind, and the sky was getting darker and darker.

The mist escaped from the dense woods, floating slowly and forming a veil, covering the night sky and the moon.

In the side hall next to the Zhiren Hall, three rows of small square paper lanterns hanging between the beams were all lit, making the room as bright as day.

It does not have the grandeur of the main hall, nor the solemnity of the main hall.

Gong Shangjiao pushed open the door of the hall and walked in. He saw the three elders from the back mountain, Hua, Xue and Yue, and the sword-wielding Gong Hongyu sitting on both sides of the rosewood tea table in front of a large square screen depicting a tiger descending the mountain.

A full set of tea sets was placed on the tea table, and a black pottery teapot with a raised spout and a big belly was placed on the small red clay stove.

The lid of the pot was not closed, and the water in the pot was bubbling. The medicinal herbs were rolling in the water, and the mist blurred Gong Hongyu's eyebrows.

Hearing the noise at the door, he looked up and saw that it was Gong Shangjiao. The worry in his eyes and brows was relieved a little: "Shangjiao, you are here, come and sit down."

Gong Shangjiao took off his heavy cloak, and Hongyu Shi Jin Yi hurriedly took it and hung it on the clothes hanger, then opened the door and went out to stand guard outside with a knife in hand.

Gong Shangjiao walked over. His long robe, which was a light pine-smoke color and embroidered with gold thread, was delicate and slim-fitting, making him look tall and neat.

He wore dark clothes and had deep eyes. He was like a golden eagle that was always alert to everything around him. He had a kind of deep and reserved aura that was rare for someone of his age.
