Xianyang Bridge

Second Master, if you came to lobby in person, I would agree. "

"I didn't lobby you. It was you who happily asked if Prime Minister Cai would let me go if you didn't go. I said it wasn't me. The person Cai Xiang likes is Qi Shaoshang, so you agreed," Tie Shou said calmly , "You went because of him."

"You are thinking too much." His face turned cold, "Shenhou Mansion is busy with work, you should go."

After Tie Shou left, Gu Xichao stood there for a long time. A gust of wind blew away the umbrella in his hand. Gu Xichao knelt down slowly, resting his forehead on the tombstone, and whispered, "Goodbye, Wanqing."

When Lao Zhou and Xiao Qi came to pick him up, his whole body was already soaked. Xiao Qi saw him standing in the wind and rain through the curtain of the car, with his face raised slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and the corners of his mouth tightly pursed in a lonely and awe-inspiring way, he couldn't help feeling Jumped, the young master used to be sad for a few days every time he came back from the tomb sweeping, but there was never a time like this, so it seemed... Xiao Qi didn't dare to say it, and he didn't even dare to think about it.

The old servant guarding the cemetery stood beside him holding an umbrella, waved vigorously when he saw Che Lai, and then pointed at Gu Xi Chao Zhi.

Lao Zhou parked the car beside him, Gu Xichao lifted up his clothes and bent over to get into the car, and said to Xiao Qi, "Go see the leader."

……

Qi Shaoshang didn't fall asleep all night after returning home. He sat on the top of the tallest building in Shenhou Mansion and watched the night of the capital. , the dots of light along the coast looked like the Milky Way falling on the world, he looked up and drank the last sip of wine, turned over from the window and entered the library downstairs through the window, the stars and moon outside the window were dim, I looked at the shelf in front of me.

He said softly, "Secret Pavilion, Mingjiao, Anxiang, Gu Xichao, what are you doing?"

In the evening of the next day, Tie Shou returned to Shenhou Mansion, and Qi Shaoshang waited for him at the gatehouse, and dragged him away before his senior disciples, "Let's talk."

Tie Shou happened to be looking for him too, and the two of them went to the fish pond in the backyard together. Qi Shaoshang patted the stone bench in the pavilion and said, "Sit."

Iron Hand sat down and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

Qi Shaoshang approached him, "Gu Xichao, I met him a few days ago, he said that he has been in touch with you for the past few years, and you invited him to work in the secret pavilion, I don't quite believe it. You have never liked him very much, why would you ask him to do something, is he lying to me again?"

The iron hand pressed his forehead. He had enough headaches. The Devil's Cult's affairs were coming to an end. Gu Xichao suddenly wavered and refused to hand over the Devil's Cult's roster. He was very concerned about the assassination plan. I always felt that something was going to go wrong, and at this time Qi Shaoshang was involved again. He was used to being at ease in the world, and he might not see the depth of the devil's scourge, but he would definitely have a good impression of the devil's helping the weak and emphasizing love and righteousness.

Coupled with Gu Xichao, he is probably in charge of this matter, the most terrible thing is that he has now learned to use words to test people, and his brain is jumping with a headache. He really would rather Qi Shaoshang have something He asked directly, but since he mentioned it, there is one thing that Tieshou doesn’t really understand, so it’s better for everyone to make things difficult for each other, Tieshou said, “I really look down on many things he did in the past, but you shouldn’t just look down on him, right? , don't you hate him? Why do you..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Shaoshang stopped him, "Don't ask why I don't know why, just tell me about the Secret Pavilion, did he lie?"

"No," Tie Shou said affirmatively, "He made a lot of contributions to the Sea Alliance, and he didn't lie to you."

Qi Shaoshang looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and sat next to him, and said in a low voice, "He has made a lot of contributions, so reward him for going to Mingjiao to die?"

Tie Shou frowned, Qi Shaoshang looked at him very closely, and said, "Do you know that he almost died when he first entered the Ming Cult, but in the end he didn't die but became blind, he was chased and killed by Ti Qi everywhere, I don't know how many lives are in my hands, what is the difference between you and Fu Zongshu?"

Tie Shou looked at him, "Fu Zongshu committed a serious crime of treason. To help Fu Zongshu kill people and slaughter the city, he is helping the evildoers."

He didn't mention anything about Mingjiao, Qi Shaoshang shook his head, "It's the same in my opinion, you all regard him as a knife, you only know that he is easy to use, and never ask him if he is willing .”

"That's right. Who cares about what a knife thinks, but there are always people who care. You can't do this. If you don't tell me about the Mingjiao, I will investigate." He stood up as he spoke, and turned to leave.

Tieshou's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood why Gu Xichao agreed to the plan after knowing that Qi Shaoshang was the second candidate for Anxiang's plan.

Don't get his hands dirty, he said.

It turned out that after experiencing so much hatred, these two people still regarded each other as friends in their hearts.

Tie Shou turned his back to Qi Shaoshang and said, "Mingjiao raised troops in the south of the Yangtze River and destroyed 52 cities in six prefectures. Wherever they passed, wars were raging. In one and a half years, more than one million people died in the war, and how many families were destroyed. How many people are homeless, shouldn’t they be exterminated?”

Qi Shaoshang didn't look back, and said, "Tong Guan and Cai Jing have dominated the government for many years and killed fewer people than Mingjiao? Don't they deserve to die?"

"There is always a way to check and balance the court struggle, and corrupt officials can be eradicated, but the world cannot be chaotic. Once the country is broken, I am afraid that even such difficult days will disappear."

Qi Shaoshang sighed with his back on his back, "So you are the four famous arresters in the world, and I'm just a quack. Did he give you Ping Luan Jue and let you give it to me? No, I don't want it anymore."

The garden in the Qingyuan stretches all the way to the back hill of Guanyinyuan, with continuous eaves and corners, and the courtyard is deep and endless.

If there is no one to lead the way, it is easy to get lost in it. The authentic five-party gossip ecstasy array, whoever enters it will know.

Qi Shaoshang became dizzy after entering, and regretted that he shouldn't force his way in. He should catch a buddy and ask him.

He wandered around for a while, but there was nothing he could do, when suddenly a hawk sounded from his head, Qi Shaoshang looked up and saw that it was Gu Xichao's hawk, and shouted, "Old Huang!"

The eagle hovered in the sky for a while, and Qi Shaoshang called again. Under his call, the eagle finally landed on his arm hesitantly, "Take me to see your master."

Qi Shaoshang said to the old huang, the eagle tilted his head and looked at him, Qi Shaoshang thought for a while, then took out a piece of mustache and gave it to him, "Why don't you eat some first?"

The eagle tilted its head to look at the piece of mustache again, and after seeing it, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew up. Qi Shaoshang chased it all the way, the eagle was as fast as lightning, and he was not slow.

When Gu Xichao and Xiao Qi came back, Qi Shaoshang was feeding Lao Huang, and seeing Lao Huang pecking at Qi Shaoshang's palm to eat the mustache, Xiao Qi's face turned dark and he was very unhappy.

When Lao Huang was in his hands, he only ate the freshest beef, and sometimes mutton would be disgusted, but now he actually eats hubing.

"Why did you come back, Lao Huang is hungry," Qi Shaoshang turned to them and said to Xiao Qi, "Xiao Qi, quickly take Lao Huang to eat something, he ate up all my pancakes."

Xiao Qi didn't move, Gu Xichao said, "Why is the big boss here?"

Qi Shaoshang said, "It's a long story, if there is anything to eat, I'm hungry too."

Gu Xichao said to Xiao Qi, "Take Lao Huang back and get some food."

The corner of Xiaoqi's mouth curled downward, and he went to Qi Shaoshang to pick up Lao Huang, and Gu Xichao pushed the door open, "Come in and sit down."

Qi Shaoshang couldn't help but shake Xiao Qi who looked back at him, and followed Gu Xichao into the room, "I can only trouble the boss to light the candles." Gu Xichao sat down at the table and said to Qi Shaoshang.

Qi Shaoshang struck a flint, and the gradually lit candle light illuminated his face, he looked a little pale, Qi Shaoshang asked, "Are you sick?"

Gu Xichao said, "It's a bit cold, it's a small matter, what's the matter with the boss?"

As he spoke, he touched the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Qi Shaoshang, and pushed it in front of him, seeming to be very used to such an invisible life.

"It's...it's nothing, just...did you give Ping Lunjue to Tie Shou?" Qi Shaoshang put the tea to his lips, and when he saw Gu Xichao pouring himself another cup from the pot, he suddenly felt a little nervous. Can't drink it.

Such a beautiful pair of eyes, it is a pity to be blind.

Gu Xichao didn't know what he was thinking, put down the teapot and said, "Yes, I will entrust him to hand it over to you."

Qi Shaoshang looked at his face and said, "You seem to be very close to him? Does he know that you are working for Mingjiao now? I told him about Mingjiao. He doesn't hate Mingjiao in general. If Let him know that you are a Mingjiao..."

While he was talking, Gu Xichao suddenly moved forward to touch the hand that was holding him down, and wrote in his palm, "Stop talking."

Then he said slowly, "He doesn't know, he's too busy to take care of what I'm doing, and it's not his turn to take care of me."

Qi Shaoshang was pressed by his cool hand, his heartbeat suddenly became chaotic, Gu Xichao sharply raised his face to his direction, as if raising his eyebrows, Qi Shaoshang took a sip of tea to calm himself down, and managed to calm down Said, "So you're not too close, at least you didn't hide anything from me about the Mingjiao."

"Of course the big masters are different." Gu Xichao said, and let go of his hand, Qi Shaoshang was arrested again by accident, Gu Xichao was startled, Qi Shaoshang himself was also stunned, not knowing himself What is this doing.

At this time, there was a voice from outside the door, Xiao Qi brought a few waiters to serve the food, Gu Xichao struggled lightly, Qi Shaoshang let go of his hand as if he had been burned.

Xiaoqi pushed the door and came in, feeling a little strange, but he couldn't tell why. When the waiters were setting out the food, Gu Xichao said to him, "The rhododendrons on the mountain behind the Guanyin Temple have bloomed recently, please ask Master Xu to make the azalea drunk." Bring the fish and take two jars of wine."

Xiao Qi frowned and said, "Young Master Feng Han is taking medicine and cannot drink alcohol."

"I don't want to drink it, please ask Master Qi to drink it."

Xiaoqi was sent out again reluctantly, Qi Shaoshang seemed to want to describe
