Chapter 23 Shelter
"Sleepy, are you homesick?"
"The eldest princess, peanuts...the eldest princess eats peanuts."
Jiang Li felt a bit of bitterness in his heart, he threw off the quilt and got out of bed, and approached the window: "That's right, you already have a new home."
The night wind blows against his face, blowing a strand of black hair on his temples.It would be like the Jiang Li at this moment, standing alone in the lonely night, unsteady, with nothing to rely on.The whole body was bone-chillingly cold, icy cold, penetrating into the crevices of the skin bit by bit.
"Come with me."
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned around to look at the sleepy man who suddenly said a word without thinking.I saw it flying back into the cage, and it was combing its hair again as it loves stinky beauty. It tilted its head to look at Jiang Li, as if it was sure that there were humans listening to it, and was greatly encouraged. It flapped its wings and shouted: "Minglang, Come with me."
Jiang Li's face froze, and a chill appeared in his eyes: "What did you say? Say it again!"
"Kill them all, kill them all."
Jiang Li's pupils suddenly constricted.
"You betrayed my sincerity, I want you to be buried with my family."
Jiang Li's complexion was pale, as if the scar that was about to heal had been torn apart alive again, and the blood gushed wildly, excruciating pain.
"Don't die, don't die." Sleepy fluttered his wings and flew high, wandering in the dimly lit room, repeating in his mouth: "Don't die, don't die."
Jiang Li's cold fingertips trembled subconsciously, the sudden breath made his whole body tense, his complexion suddenly turned gloomy, his eyes were like sword light: "Who!"
"Cough cough..."
Standing at the door, Gu Jinzhi didn't know whether he was coughing in embarrassment when he was discovered, or because of the cold air emanating from Jiang Li's body.Sensing Jiang Li's gaze sweeping over, Gu Jinzhi chuckled, and stepped into the room: "It's so late, little Li'er hasn't rested yet?"
Jiang Li's complexion was uncertain: "Why did the prince come?"
"My king has always been in a light sleep, and I woke up just now when Peanut was talking outside my house." Gu Jinzhi looked at the parrot that flew back to the cage to eat nuts: "After that, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so I walked around the mansion at random. Little Li'er is awake too. But this parrot also disturbed your sleep?"
Before Jiang Li could speak, the sleepy one suddenly interrupted and called out, "I miss home, I miss home."
Jiang Li's heart moved slightly, and Gu Jinzhi's face changed, and he said eagerly: "You can't sleep at night, is it because you are homesick?"
Jiang Li's slightly pale lips trembled, thinking about what to say.Gu Jinzhi grabbed his hand with concern on his face, his eyes were sincere and a little disappointed: "If you miss your parents, then I really can't help you not to be sad. If you feel homeless and helpless, then I can allow you A place to live and live. This will be your home from now on, when you feel hard going outside, just go back to the palace and tell me about it.”
Jiang Li felt a dull pain in his heart, and endless sorrow flowed out, but he couldn't help being surprised at what Gu Jinzhi had done so far: "Why does the lord treat me so well?"
Gu Jinzhi's face was solemn, and his tone was firm: "Because this king is willing."
Jiang Li lowered his eyes, and the warm eyes silently flowed out of the window.The ink color of the sky has faded, the indigo dyed the clouds, a few residual stars are inlaid on the night that is about to retreat, and the silver-gray fog is like a veil, hazy and lingering.
"It's going to be dawn." Jiang Li turned around, facing the rising sun in the east, with his back to Prince Shu in the room: "If His Highness doesn't want to, you can tell me in advance."
Jiang Li stepped out of the room and sighed softly, "Don't leave...so suddenly."
"His Royal Highness Zhaojun, please slow down." The servant was on the left and right, but he was worried about the eldest son of the emperor, Gu Yunsheng.People hurriedly took the fruits and vegetables tribute from foreign countries out of the carriage and sent them to Prince Shu's mansion one by one.He followed the lively little prince to the inner courtyard.
"Uncle Wang." Seeing Gu Jinzhi, Gu Yunsheng bowed first, then took the food box from the servant and handed it to Yu Tai, "The imperial grandmother knew that I was going to play at Uncle Wang's mansion, so she asked me to bring it here. There are also tribute oranges that my father asked me to send along with them, I tasted two with Aunt Anping in the palace, they are juicy and sweet, very delicious."
After Gu Yunsheng said this, he couldn't help but glanced around, "Uh, Uncle Wang... Isn't Young Master Jiang here?"
"He didn't sleep well last night. At this time, he must be taking a nap in the room." Gu Jinzhi opened the food box, and there were all kinds of pastries in it: "Do you need something from him?"
"No, it's just that Mr. Jiang has an extraordinary appearance. Even my uncle is full of praise for him. Of course I am also a little curious." Gu Yunsheng laughed, but he didn't finish what he said in his heart.He hesitated for a moment, recalling the scene in the uncle's mansion a few days ago, finally couldn't help being curious, and asked softly: "Mr. Jiang's body is like a jade tree, and his face is like a flower. He is tall and dusty, and has a brilliant literary talent. I also asked Anping about it. What is the origin of Mr. Jiang, my aunt, at first she deliberately teased me and refused to tell, but then I got annoyed by me, and finally told me that Mr. Jiang's name is Jiang Li, and he is the well-known luthier in Xiangxue Pavilion."
"En." Gu Jinzhi nodded and said, "Is there any question?"
Gu Yunsheng thought that Gu Jinzhi was dissatisfied with his prejudice against Jiang Li's identity, so he quickly defended himself: "Although I don't like music, I really admire this famous Jiang musician. It's my nephew's luck to see his demeanor. .But...when did Uncle Wang and Young Master Jiang meet?"
"On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival." Gu Jinzhi said in a melancholy way: "So it's only a short month, and I thought we've known each other for a long time. It's really late."
"Then..." Gu Yunsheng hesitated, and asked cautiously, "Uncle Wang, does Mr. Jiang know martial arts?"
"Martial arts?" Gu Jinzhi was surprised, and his tone was a little casual: "I haven't heard him mention it, probably not. You have seen Xiao Li'er, do you think he looks like he knows martial arts?"
"Uh..." Gu Yunsheng choked, thinking about it a little according to Jin Zhi's words, and really felt that it was impossible.But considering the circumstances at the time, Jiang Li was the only person who was able and qualified to do so: "Uncle Wang, you shouldn't be judged by appearances. Maybe Mr. Jiang is hiding something and has an unknown side. Uncle Wang Remember the arrow that Cousin Wei Ran almost accidentally shot Uncle Wang in the uncle's mansion?"
Gu Jinzhi took a deep look at Gu Yunsheng, got up, walked to the table and sat down, and fiddled with Yunzi on the chessboard: "Of course I remember. Why did you remember this?"
Gu Yunsheng hurriedly followed, and said, "Do you remember, Uncle Wang, that arrow broke in the middle of the journey. The bamboo and wood arrow body was shattered, and the iron arrowhead also broke from the middle."
"Oh." Gu Jinzhi said with a suddenly enlightened expression: "Is that so? This king was only interested in seeing if Xiao Li'er was injured, but he didn't pay attention to whether the arrow was shot or not."
Gu Yunsheng: "..."
Yu Tai served hot tea, Gu Yunsheng took a sip sullenly, speechless.
Gu Jinzhi looked at his frowning face while picking chess pieces, couldn't help smiling, and his tone was more calm than before: "You came here today to investigate Jiang Li? Do you think he caused the broken arrow? You Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Well..." Gu Yunsheng was slightly embarrassed, "Not really. It must be that Mr. Jiang's speed is too fast, and my nephew didn't see it clearly."
"It's really not easy to hear this from a pretentious kid like you." Gu Jinzhi laughed easily and said, "Even General Zhang praised you for your outstanding martial arts talent. With your current cultivation base, looking at the whole world Yu, there are very few people who can beat you. Even you said that little Li'er is too fast to see clearly, so what level is little Li'er, is she still a human?"
Gu Yunsheng was dumb, and found that he was speechless.
"Also, the martial art is higher than you, but you don't show any traces of it, and you don't even have a name or rumors in the world, is it possible?"
"This..." Gu Yunsheng's face became hot, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed as Gu Jinzhi said, there were too many doubts.But if he read it wrong, he couldn’t get over it himself: “Although I didn’t see Mr. Jiang make a move accurately, but I think back at that time, my uncle was a civil servant, Aunt Anping didn’t know martial arts, and the house was full of servants. I don’t have an account, and I don’t have time to react. After all these are ruled out, only Mr. Jiang is left.”
Gu Jinzhi chuckled, and joked, "You're pretty good at solving cases. Go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice another day and teach that Li Shangshu."
"Oh, my good Uncle Wang!" Gu Yunsheng wailed as if he was about to collapse: "I'm telling you seriously, assuming all the above is true. That arrow was really made by Mr. Jiang. Think about it, Uncle Wang, He doesn't need any medium, he only needs to use his internal force to crush steel from a distance, with such a cultivation level, even his nephew's teacher, General Zhang, can hardly do it, isn't that terrifying?"
Gu Jinzhi held the tea bowl and took a sip of the tea, "Well, it's quite scary."
"..." Gu Yunsheng's face was full of black lines, a little bit exhausted, "Uncle Wang, are you really listening to me about the seriousness of this matter?"
"Serious?" Gu Jinzhi finally got serious, put down the tea bowl lightly, looked straight at Gu Yunsheng and said, "What's serious? Assuming what you said is true, so what? Is Xiao Li'er able to martial arts? What does it matter to me?" What to do? Whether he hides his secrets or shows his sharpness, it has nothing to do with this king, right? On the contrary, as you said, it was not this king who saved little Li'er, but little Li'er who saved me at a critical moment. "
"..." Gu Yunsheng almost vomited blood.
"Uncle Wang, Mr. Jiang is in Xiangxue Pavilion. He is a well-known luthier at home and abroad, but he possesses superb martial arts. Isn't it strange? Since you two are friends, why didn't he tell each other directly and deliberately conceal it?"
"Wait a minute." Gu Jinzhi suddenly reached out to stop Gu Yunsheng's words. Gu Yunsheng choked for a moment, and Gu Jinzhi's eyes were full of sternness.
"Everyone has secrets that cannot be told, why did he tell me the truth? Just because I am a prince? I also have many secrets, and I haven't told them. Why should they tell me? Besides, Xiao Li Where did Er'er deliberately hide it, even if he concealed it, so what, whether to say it or not is his business, how do you listen to what you said, Xiao Li'er has become a deep and cunning person in the city?"
"Uncle Wang, don't worry too much, I don't think so." Gu Yunsheng hurriedly defended himself, got up and saluted Gu Jinzhi: "How can Mr. Jiang be a bad person, I'm just too shocked. Look at Mr. Jiang's age, but I am a few years older than me, but my martial arts cultivation is beyond my reach. Uncle Wang also knows my obsession with martial arts. If Mr. Jiang really possesses extraordinary martial arts, I really can't help but want to ask for a lesson, I'm afraid He has scruples in his heart and refuses to admit it."
After hearing this, Gu Jinzhi's expression did not improve, but became even more gloomy: "If he conceals it, do you conclude that he has ulterior motives and evil intentions?"
"My nephew dare not."
"Yun Sheng." Gu Jinzhi's eyes were low, and there seemed to be a thundercloud floating across his forehead: "Do you have any plans?"
Gu Yunsheng was startled: "Uncle Wang..."
"You want to test him?" Gu Jinzhi's tone was not harsh, but Gu Yunsheng's heart beat heavily: "You want to play a surprise attack and lure Xiao Li'er, right?"
Gu Yunsheng sighed, leaned forward and said, "You can't hide anything from Uncle Wang."
"The eldest princess, peanuts...the eldest princess eats peanuts."
Jiang Li felt a bit of bitterness in his heart, he threw off the quilt and got out of bed, and approached the window: "That's right, you already have a new home."
The night wind blows against his face, blowing a strand of black hair on his temples.It would be like the Jiang Li at this moment, standing alone in the lonely night, unsteady, with nothing to rely on.The whole body was bone-chillingly cold, icy cold, penetrating into the crevices of the skin bit by bit.

Jiang Li's face froze, and a chill appeared in his eyes: "What did you say? Say it again!"
"Kill them all, kill them all."
Jiang Li's pupils suddenly constricted.
"You betrayed my sincerity, I want you to be buried with my family."
Jiang Li's complexion was pale, as if the scar that was about to heal had been torn apart alive again, and the blood gushed wildly, excruciating pain.
"Don't die, don't die." Sleepy fluttered his wings and flew high, wandering in the dimly lit room, repeating in his mouth: "Don't die, don't die."
Jiang Li's cold fingertips trembled subconsciously, the sudden breath made his whole body tense, his complexion suddenly turned gloomy, his eyes were like sword light: "Who!"
"Cough cough..."
