peach plum spring breeze a glass of wine

In the piano hall facing Baijialei, a woman whose face was covered by her long hair handed a steaming white jade teacup to the young man in white who was watching the bustle with cold eyes.

"My lord, please serve tea." The woman said respectfully, her voice was different from the clear and melodious voice of a young girl, but it was like Wu Nong's soft words whispering in her ears, with a sense of charm, following those slender hands you can See the face of the woman.If Gu Hanzhao were here, he would definitely be surprised that there is such a beautiful woman in the world, even compared to Zhao Wuxia, she is not inferior at all.

It's just a snow lotus flower as cold as the top of a snow mountain, and a coquettish flower as the other shore flower on the cliff. The two charms have their own merits.

"Ahem." The young man in white who was being served meticulously did not take the jade cup, but covered his lips and coughed twice.Seeing this, the woman hurriedly put down her jade cup and came to the side of the young man in white. She took out a white jade bottle from her sleeve, poured out black pills, and fed him.

After taking the pill, the young man panted a few times before he calmed down, and said to the frowning woman, "Yao Ye, I'm fine." The young man in white has an outstanding appearance, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but his lips are as pale as snow , seems to be terminally ill.

Yao Ye who was pushed away lightly pursed her lips, there was a trace of injury in her eyes besides worry, but she returned to normal after a while.

The young man in white didn't know whether he didn't see Yao Ye's expression or pretended not to know, but said indifferently: "Light some incense."

Hearing the words, Yaoye took out a small bamboo pot from his sleeve, took out a small amount of spices with a silver spoon, put them in the incense funnel and lit them, and the fragrance soon dissipated. The young man in white closed his eyes and took a deep breath, instantly feeling depressed The breath in his chest was suppressed, and he stopped coughing, and even his complexion improved a lot.

Seeing this, Yao Ye was not only unhappy, but hesitantly looked at the young man in white, and finally chose to remain silent.

"Yao Ye, that is Gu Hanzhao, the future Marquis of Zhenyuan. What do you think of him?"

"Although Gu Hanzhao became famous in the first battle, he was more than brave but lacked strategy in that battle." Seeing the young man in white brushing the rim of the white jade cup with his index finger, Yao Ye replied cautiously, feeling a little apprehensive.

The young man in white raised his cup and sniffed the tea, then asked again: "What about Sun Ruoyu?"

Yao Ye looked at Sun Ruoyu who had accused Zhang An of contempt for the royal family with a few sentences in the distance, hesitantly said: "Mr. Sun has a bit of wisdom, but..."

"Is your mind too sinister?" The young man in white continued to speak for Yao Ye: "But in this world, those who gain power are often villains."

Hearing the words, Yao Ye lowered her eyes and closed her eyes, not daring to speak out.

On the other hand, the people around Baijia Lei were still at loggerheads. Sun Ruoyu was deeply thoughtful, and with one sentence, he accused Zhang An of contempt for the royal family. Bi, his heart can be punished.Zhao Zheyu's mind is much more pure. Originally, he was not a person who likes to join in the fun, but he went to Hebi City during his study tour, and also experienced the life of the frontier fortress. He just didn't want the soldiers guarding the frontier to be splashed with dirty water. Sun Ruoyu He didn't fully understand what he said, but he also vaguely noticed something was wrong.

Gu Hanzhao's reaction was even more simple and clear. He stopped the angry Gu Ransheng and looked at Sun Ruoyu coldly. At first, Zhang An appeared and he was confused. In the end, it was aimed at the Gu family.

"Master." Gu Ransheng also recalled this moment, and looked at Gu Hanzhao worriedly, but he saw Gu Hanzhao's face was gloomy, looking at Sun Ruoyu's face was like looking at a dead person, even Gu Ransheng who had served Gu Hanzhao for many years, At this moment, looking at this Shura who had experienced the experience of the battlefield, he felt very strange.

Gu Ransheng came to his senses, and the yamen servants on the side naturally also came to his senses. Even if the folk customs in Nanze were open again, it was not to the point where the royal family could discuss it at will.The yamen servants and the person in charge of the Baijia competition hurriedly dismissed the Baijia competition, and only said that they would wait for the Baidi Shijian to open again.

Thirty percent of the people on the inner, third and outer floors quickly dispersed at the request of the yamen servants. Occasionally talented people who regretted not showing their eloquence were persuaded to leave with kind words. The originally lively book market seemed to be deserted all of a sudden.

Gu Hanzhao didn't bother anymore, he just wrote down Sun Ruoyu's appearance, thinking of sending someone to check his details, and then put his mind on Zhao Jianyu, but when the crowd dispersed, Zhao Jianyu was a little confused. Gu Hanzhao sighed, but he still missed it after all. It seems that he can only wait for Baidi Shijian.

Gu Hanzhao returned disappointed. As soon as he entered the gate of Lu's house, he saw Lu Qing running in front of him, panting and said: "Master Biao, you are back, the master is looking for you."

Hearing this, Gu Hanzhao followed Lu Qing to Lu Suyang's residence. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his uncle was frowning and didn't know what he was thinking. He smiled when he saw him coming: "Zhaoer, come." Lu Suyang called Gu Hanzhao to sit down. Beside him, he waved back the servant girl who was serving him.

Before he could open his mouth, Gu Hanzhao knew that Lu Suyang must have come to him because of the dispute at the book market competition today. Sure enough, when there were only two nephews and uncles left in the room, Lu Suyang got to the point: "You can go today!" Book market?"

"Go, uncle." Lu Suyang nodded and continued: "Well, did you see that Zhang An today?"

"met."

"I also heard from a student that an arrogant scholar called himself Qiu Tong and Zhang An, and publicly belittled warriors in the Baijia competition, but secretly pointed at the Gu family." Lu Suyang didn't see the situation at that time, but just listened to what others said, but that's it A few words from others are enough for him to worry, "Where did Zhang An come from? Why did he target the Gu family in the Baijialei? This Baidi City is different from other places. It is a place where students from all over the world gather. Once these words are taken seriously If someone uses it, the consequences will be unimaginable. What's more, the current emperor is already afraid of the Gu family."

"Uncle, I've seen most of the situation in this Baijia competition. Although I don't know who sent Zhang An, it's not Zhang An who really needs to worry about this matter. No matter how eloquent he is, he is just a small The chess piece, what really worries people is the scholar Sun Ruoyu who came to power after that."

"Sun Ruoyu?" Lu Suyang lowered his head in thought, but after thinking for a long time, he still didn't have any impression of this name, and Gu Hanzhao didn't point it out. Sun Ruoyu used to belong to the prince's party in his previous life, and was an official to the Minister of the Household Department. Looted a lot of money.But Gu Hanzhao had nothing to do with him in his previous life, apart from the meeting in court, they were at best colleagues, so why should he be targeted at him in this life.

"This man's thoughts are sinister, but I don't know him before. I don't know why he targeted the Gu family, or someone behind him gave advice." Gu Hanzhao said truthfully.

"Then what should we do?" Lu Suyang asked: "Whether Zhang An or Sun Ruoyu are here for the Gu family, do you have a way to deal with it?"

"Uncle, if you were me and I didn't know the details of Zhang An and Sun Ruoyu, what would you do?"

"Check Zhang An first to see who cast the bait."

"Once the details of Zhang An are found out, no matter who that person is, my Gu family and him are bound to be at odds. At this time, the people behind Sun Ruoyu are probably the ones who will benefit the most." Gu Hanzhao continued, already guessing in his heart, but did not name him. He just said: "I have sent someone to investigate, and there will be news later."

Lu Suyang didn't ask who he sent to ask, but just patted Gu Hanzhao's shoulder with emotion, and sighed: "It can be said that the Gu family is struggling in the court, I just hope you be careful in everything."

"Uncle, don't worry, I will be careful."

Coming out of the Lu Suyang courtyard, Gu Hanzhao took a deep breath. He was tired of these court battles in his previous life. Now that he has relived his life, he never expected to be involved again. If he is destined to be involved in this chaos in the end, he might as well take the initiative attack.

As soon as Gu Hanzhao closed the door, a shadow quietly appeared from behind and stopped behind him.Gu Hanzhao didn't turn his head to look at him, but kept his back to him, and asked, "How?"

"Master, Zhang An's teacher is quite talented, and his poems have been praised by Mr. Xie Xiangye. Sun Ruoyu and Zhang Ansu don't know each other, and we have no news about the people behind the scenes." The man replied respectfully, just With a black scarf covering his face, his voice sounded muffled.

This Anbu was left to him by his father, originally it was just to take in some orphans left behind by the war, and then it gradually became some mixed-races born of Nanze's intermarriage with foreigners and abandoned.These children can only live in darkness for the rest of their lives. My father helps those mixed-bloods who want to live an ordinary life to change their appearance. It is invisible.

My father once wanted to report the existence of these people to the royal family, but at that time, the emperor was too suspicious, and after a long time of consideration, he risked his beheading to hide the existence of the spies. Now that his father is dead, these spies have become his men. Many of them were even life and death friends who grew up with him.

"Well, you go down first." When the black shadow receded, Gu Hanzhao rubbed the center of his brows. He is not a manipulative personality, but he has been in the officialdom for a few years more than others, and he has seen a lot. I understand that if these people put their minds on fighting for power and profit on the common people, Nanze would not be able to stand against Beiyuan from having no rivals to today.

The people behind Sun Ruoyu are also well-intentioned, Gu Hanzhao sneered, he did not expect to find Zhang An, and it would also involve Mr. Xie Xiangye. In his previous life, he might be suspicious, but now he treats a pure minister like Mr. Xie Only respect, no doubts.That Sun Ruoyu is worthy of being the prince's man, he really has sinister thoughts, but the prince is only a teenager now, judging from his future performance, he will never have such intelligence, presumably someone behind him offered advice.

Gu Hanzhao took out a pen and ink, and wrote on the paper one by one the suspicious objects in his previous life, but he still had no clue. In the end, he could only put the rice paper full of people's names in a charcoal brazier and burn it.

Gu Ransheng, who was ordered by his father to guard the door, scratched his head in doubt. When did my father start to feel chilly?
