Chapter 107 Stinky royals Your allegiance to me, they don't deserve it.
Huo Yan slept very restlessly.
Always dreaming strange and bizarre dreams, feeling that he was destined to lose something, kept running, kept working hard, even lost the knife in his hand, and there was still a piece of emptiness in his heart... No, he had to grab something!Look at that person dare to go!
He didn't realize it himself, but in the eyes of others, he would wake up from time to time, and he had to look twice to make sure that Gu Ting was beside him, and he could hold his hand firmly, so that he could continue to sleep with peace of mind.
After this day and night, Gu Ting was really tired. The aftermath work outside was handled by the subordinates in shifts, and the royal guards guarded him. He was sure that there would be no other moths, so he put aside everything and prepared to rest.
Huo Yan kept holding his hand, he couldn't pay attention, so he just took off his coat and slept next to Huo Yan.
He didn't know how Huo Yan slept that night. Anyway, he was sleepy and slept very deeply. Occasionally, he was awakened by the force of his hand, and the other hand stretched out to gently pat Huo Yan's back, and closed his eyes to coax him: "Be good, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here..."
I did the same movement countless times overnight, Gu Ting's arms were a little sore when he woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he woke up first.
Turning his head to look, the sky is bright.King Zhenbei, who gets up regularly every day to practice martial arts, has not gotten up yet!Not only did he hold his hand tightly, but he also embraced him with his whole arm, held him in his arms, and pressed his thighs over by the way, like a male beast in an enclosure, even if he fell asleep, he had to be sure of himself in this way Things can't run away.
This posture is definitely uncomfortable for him, but Gu Ting didn't kick Huo Yan away as usual, his heart ached.
The King of Zhenbei is the leader of the Zhenbei Army, the undefeated god of war at the border, and the hero of the entire Jiuyuan. Carrying tax adjustments to track down spies, as small as neighbors quarreling with peddlers, he will intervene in many things. He always looks serious in front of people and rarely jokes. It was only when he met him that he showed his unknown side.
He is also relaxed, has all kinds of tricks to amuse people, has a heart of playing hooligans anytime, anywhere, and is particularly fond of jealousy, anyone's jealousy, regardless of gender.
Gu Ting has seen his seriousness, and he has also seen his indecency, every moment, Huo Yan is in high spirits, and it is rare for him to be so tired.
Gently pressing Huo Yan's frown with his fingers, he said in a low voice, "What did they tell you? Something is wrong..."
Huo Yan's eyelids trembled, he didn't know if he was struggling to wake up, or the feeling of insecurity came back again, he was not in a good state.
Gu Ting quickly patted his hands to coax him: "Okay, okay, it's okay, I didn't mean to disturb you, you continue to sleep..."
He glanced at the door, it was so late, no one came to bother him, it must be that nothing serious happened, then he looked at his hand, he was still being held by Huo Yan, unable to get up at all...
Forget it, there is nothing left and right, and it’s okay to delay for a while.
Just thinking about it, a kiss came over, overwhelming, wild and undeniable.
"Don't..."
Gu Ting struggled a little, it was early in the morning and he hadn't even brushed his teeth yet.
Huo Yan, on the other hand, acted like a fool, clung to him, even raised and lowered his hands, and his breathing became tense.This kiss is the same as last night, yet different, slowly becoming lingering and joyful...
Gu Ting quickly understood, and kicked him away: "Don't push your nose on your face!"
Huo Yan couldn't kiss anyone, so he hugged him tightly: "I was bullied, and Teng Ting didn't hurt me at all."
Look at the scheming look of this rogue, he has obviously recovered, why pretend to be weak!
Gu Ting was expressionless: "Oh, I can make you hurt more, do you want to try?"
Huo Yan knew how smart his baby was, and he couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, so he hugged him tightly and sighed contentedly: "Don't leave me."
"When did I leave you?" Gu Ting stretched out his hand and rubbed his big head, "Okay, stop being coquettish, the sun is already drying your butt, my lord, get up?"
"That's right, it's time for me to find out what's going on."
Huo Yan kissed Gu Ting's forehead, his face was full of energy and serious, he just sat up, and he fell down again, hugged Gu Ting and rubbed against him: "Can't we really do something else?"
Gu Ting slapped his hand away: "No!"
……
After waking up, Gu Ting sent someone to deliver a letter to Guzang Palace, after breakfast, the Meng family brothers came over.
The sun is shining today, and the spring scenery is fragrant. The Eight Immortals Table is served with refreshments, which seems to be a good place for chatting.
Gu Ting looked at Meng Ce, and solemnly thanked: "Last night, thank you very much."
If Meng Ce hadn't arrived in time and held Huo Yan back, we still don't know what Huo Yan would do when he went crazy.
Meng Ce didn't say anything politely, but Huo Yan already gave him a disgusted look, and said lightly: "No need. He didn't intend to help."
Gu Ting: ...
Listen, listen, is this a human language?
He glared at Huo Yan, smiled and looked at Meng Ce: "Don't pay attention to him, he's sick."
Meng Ce: "It's okay, I really don't intend to help."
All he thought in his heart was his younger brother Meng Zhen, and when his younger brother was fine, he found Huo Yan to give him a helping hand.
Gu Ting: ...
All right, you two are responsible for your awkward friendship, I will not get involved!
"What happened last night?" What he was most curious about was always this.
Meng Zhen raised his hand, he was familiar with this matter: "I was arrested!"
"What?" Gu Ting's face was full of surprise. It was too late last night and Huo Yan made too much noise. He didn't have time to ask.
Meng Zhen rubbed his nose: "I don't know, I stayed at home yesterday, obediently waiting for my brother to come back, everything went smoothly, and I poisoned the few thieves who came to the house! The war subsided, My brother came back to look at me, I was alive and kicking, I was fine everywhere, I didn’t even scratch my oily skin, my brother still had to finish the work, said to go out and come back soon, I wanted to wait for my brother to come back for dinner, but for some reason , I just passed out... When I woke up, I don't know how long it had passed. It was so dark, and the back of my head hurt so badly. Lou Huoguang followed Guangming, and not long after, he met his brother."
Meng Ce nodded: "I only went out for a while, and he lost it when I came back. I didn't dare to delay, so I took someone to look for it immediately, and transferred everyone in the mansion. The news was also slow, and I received it very late. Huo Yan's call for help—"
Gu Ting: "Help?"
Huo Yan asked for help?Thinking back carefully now, the location of that small building does not seem to be far from Guzang Palace.
Meng Ce nodded: "The signal only conveyed a vague meaning, and I need help, but I don't know what happened to Huo Yan. I don't have time to distract him. I have to find Xiaozhen, so I don't care," he said. Slightly drooping eyes, looking at the teacup on the table, "It's the same as seven years ago."
As his words fell, the room was quiet, and the atmosphere was a little delicate.
"What are you all thinking?"
Before anyone else spoke, Meng Ce raised his eyebrows first: "There is no need to look like this, even if I do it all over again, I will still choose this way, with no regrets or shame."
Meng Zhen tugged on Meng Ce's sleeve with little force, and said in a disturbed voice, "Brother..."
Although Meng Ce himself said so, Gu Ting still felt a little sad, if something really happened, he must be very regretful.
But all of this is not Meng Zhen's fault, he pushed the snacks in front of Meng Zhen: "Try this, the new taste that the cook has conceived, it's delicious."
The small dim sum is round and looks very cute, exuding a sweet and glutinous taste, it looks like you want to take a bite, Meng Zhen's attention was diverted, he quickly grabbed one, took a bite, the sweet and soft taste spread on the tip of his lips and teeth, Immediately, eyebrows and eyes are crooked, if you like it, you can't!
Huo Yan glanced past Meng Zhen who ate like a little hamster, gave Meng Ce a distasteful glance, and hummed lightly: "It seems like you are the only one who cares about children."
If it is he who chooses, he is the same, there is no difference.
Meng Ce frowned: "This is mine, yours is over there."
As if he was afraid that Huo Yan would come and snatch him, he even sat down beside his younger brother.
Huo Yan: ...
Except for the cute little Meng Zhen, everyone at the table understood what this meant. Gu stopped to look at Huo Yan, then at Meng Ce, and stroked his forehead helplessly.
The brotherhood between the two princes is plastic, but I know who the other is, so I don't need to say too much.
Gu Ting looked at Meng Ce, and brought the topic back: "Then you found Meng Zhen? Do you know who killed him?"
Meng Ce shook his head, narrowing his eyes: "Xiao Zhen was not only knocked out and taken away, he was also poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Gu Ting stood up impatiently, "Is it cured now?"
Meng Zhen pressed Gu Ting: "Don't worry, stop, I'm fine."
Meng Ce also nodded: "Xiao Zhen is fine now."
Gu Ting just sat down, and lovingly patted Meng Zhen's head: "Who is trying to harm you..."
Such a lovely person, warm and pure, worthy of all the good things in the world, who would be so filthy and want to harm him?
Meng Ce's eyes drooped slightly: "It's not necessarily because he wanted to harm him, maybe he came after me."
Huo Yan put down the teacup slowly, and snorted: "I'm afraid it's not for you, but for us."
Gu Ting glared at him: "Tell me about yourself, what happened last night!"
Huo Yan summed it up briefly: "Zhang Duo stopped him and said he would throw you in the burning building, and unless I agreed to his conditions, I would burn you to death."
"Ah?" Gu Ting was stunned, "So you believe it?" Still crazy like that?Didn't come back to ask?
Huo Yan looked at him: "I didn't find any news about you, I don't believe it, so I have to go and see for myself."
Gu Ting: ...
I didn't mean to, really!
Before he could explain, Huo Yan snorted again, his eyes full of dissatisfaction: "But Zhang Duo always stops me, the more anxious I am, the more he stops, like a fly, annoying."
Gu Ting: "So you killed him?"
Huo Yan was quiet for a moment, then said seriously: "It's because he is ignorant."
Gu Ting: ...
Come on, your old man was crazy at the time, what else do you know?
Huo Yan seemed to sense Gu Ting's disbelief, and turned his face to him, solemnly and persistently: "He is looking for death on his own."
He didn't keep emphasizing this matter, Gu Ting almost forgot how he looked when he saw him yesterday, that kind of madness, that kind of drive to throw himself into the fire to find his own death, just thinking about it makes people terrified.
Gu Ting was not only scared, but also very angry: "Even if I can't find me for a while, I may not have encountered such an accident. He just stopped you and provoked you, and didn't let me talk to you, let me beg for mercy, so it can be seen I'm not in his hands, if it is, even throwing something from me? Your majestic prince, just believe in that, and fight and kill people, Huo Yan, you are capable!"
Huo Yan turned his eyes to the side, and he could see that he was a bit hypocritical, but he still didn't admit his mistake, and he stood upright and said, "If they dare to block the king in the street, they are committing crimes or disobedience, and none of them will die wronged!"
"Okay, okay, it's all over and don't quarrel," Meng Zhensai gave Gu Ting a chubby and soft snack, and refilled a cup of tea for Huo Yan, "When I arrived yesterday, I smelled something wrong. Tong Tingting said before, the prince is being plotted against."
Huo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Fragrant?"
Meng Zhen nodded: "It's called Licao, it's used to aggravate people's obsessions and make people crazy and lose their minds. It's very biased. The effect is not strong or weak. It takes at least three times to get rid of it." It may be effective, but it is useless for some people several times in a row, and it needs to be accumulated over the years, but once it works, the next time it is used, it will definitely be tricked. This smell... I heard it in the palace."
It's the palace again.
Only yesterday Huo Yan led troops to help and stabilized the capital. Before the day had passed, others began to plot.
I don't know what everyone is thinking, the atmosphere is quiet and scary, Meng Ce asked Gu Ting: "Did you encounter any accident last night?"
Gu Ting's face darkened: "I received news this morning that the shopkeeper and the waiter in my medicinal food shop were murdered."
"Ah?" The one who reacted the most to this incident was Meng Zhen, "Is it the shopkeeper Liu with the chubby face? And the little girl named Xiaoguo? Then what should I do?"
He spends a lot of time in the shop, he is familiar with people, his eyes are red right away, and what's more, after making such a mess, the shop will not be able to open in the future?
Gu Ting: "I have given care to their family members, and I will visit them in person later. I can only watch later. But this is very strange. I didn't go home yesterday, and I wanted to make some soup on the way. I went to the medicated food shop, and came out when I was done, but before I got home, I encountered a disaster at the girl next door. It won't be long before I can go back, but I accidentally fell asleep and missed the time, and rushed to the burning building immediately after waking up, but it was still too late."
At this point, everyone understands.
Meng Zhen's eyes were confused: "So it's not a coincidence at all, but a deliberate loophole?"
Meng Ce approvingly rubbed his younger brother's head: "Gu Ting has Huo Yan's personal guards by his side, let alone killing them, it is difficult to control them, and he will face Huo Yan's revenge afterwards, but the neighbors of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion and the medicinal food shop , it will be much easier to kill."
It is not difficult to make a sequence, cleverly create a time difference, and deceive Gu Ting.
Meng Zhen took a deep breath: "It's so vicious!"
Gu Ting pursed his lips tightly: "Zhang Duo may not be the mastermind, he is probably just a member of the whole plan. He really wants to kill Huo Yan."
If Meng Ce hadn't arrived, Huo Yan was afraid that he would definitely enter the fire scene. That fire was the funeral prepared by the people behind the scenes for King Zhenbei.
Who would have thought that this situation would end up like this. The seemingly dangerous Gu Ting was not actually in a dangerous place. Instead, Huo Yan was stimulated and very dangerous. He even killed Zhang Duo and all the men in black behind him. .
Huo Yan: "Zhang Duo didn't have to die. If he was obedient."
This time the game was against him, and Zhang Duo was just a pawn to advance the plan. If he hadn't been thinking about personal enmity, he was afraid that he would not die, and he had to finish it himself, which would not be the end.
Chess pieces don't have to have thoughts. With thoughts, it may not be a help, but may be a resistance.
Gu Ting sneered: "The person behind it must be very annoyed. After breaking such a big game, the result is not as expected. He must hate the Zhang family." After thinking about it, he said, "This person is also very interesting. For the overall situation, I want to do big things, but I am timid. I want to kill you, but I also want to set a bottom line for myself. If you died last night, of course I can’t live. No one is protecting me. It doesn't matter if you kill me, it doesn't matter if you kill me first, but if you don't die first, you will seek revenge.
Just because he is scheming and ruthless enough, but not doing enough, he doesn't look like someone who does big things.
Meng Zhen also understood, and was very moved: "Who is it, the technique is so... meaty?"
Meng Ce sneered: "Who else can notice that I am here?"
The younger brother's kidnapping and poisoning were no longer as simple as turning the tiger away from the mountain and not wanting him to help Huo Yan. They were not aimed at him, and it was impossible to deal such a heavy hand on Meng Zhen.
Huo Yan: "The prince rebelled, and he has no energy to do other things; the second prince has been watching the prince's rebellion, and all interests and expectations are on this matter. In order to ensure the fruits of victory, it is very likely that there will be no extra problems, and Concubine You will be thrown into the cold palace , the information is not clear and the subordinates are damaged, after much deliberation, there is only one person who can do it."
Gu Ting's thin lips parted lightly, and the tip of his eyes narrowed slightly: "Emperor Jianping."
"Him? But why did he do this? What's the point?" Meng Zhen was frightened and dumbfounded. Do all the high-ranking people play such a big game!
Huo Yan's face was so dark that he got up immediately, picked up the knife and walked out.
Stopped by Meng Ce: "Now is not the time."
Huo Yan sneered: "Get out of the way."
Meng Ce not only refused to give way, but also took his knife: "If you have ideas, any impulsiveness will affect your overall situation. If you don't have ideas, you should not act rashly. Once the situation is broken, it will be difficult in the future."
Meng Zhen didn't understand: "Thought? What kind of thought?"
Gu Ting covered his mouth.
This idea cannot be said.
He stared blankly at Meng Ce, the boldness is still the boldness of the king of Guzang, with a sense of rebellion in his bones, all the usual silences, seemingly harmless, are all because his younger brother is by his side, and his younger brother is all he cares about, except This person, he has no extravagant hopes and is not interested in anything, but he is actually the most daring to think, and he is not lacking in ability.
Gu Ting didn't even dare to think about what Meng Ce would be like without Meng Zhen.
But although this kind of thinking is bold and rebellious, Gu Ting does not think it is wrong. The royal family is stinky and disgusting. Everything he has witnessed since he came to Beijing is not for the people, but for themselves. Such a royal family, What else is there to expect?
"This dynasty really doesn't make people like it at all." Meng Ce's eyes were flamboyant, sharp and scary, "They don't deserve your allegiance to mine."
Whether you are worthy or not is one thing, but whether or not you will do it yourself, and when to do it, is another matter.
"If you do many unrighteous acts, you will die yourself. Think about it carefully."
Meng Ce didn't say any more, just put the knife aside.
Huo Yan's eyes flashed through thinking, but he didn't rush out again, and sat back at the table again.
Gu Jingling changed the subject cleverly: "Let's not talk about anything else, this breath is stuck in my heart, I am really uncomfortable, I have to pack it up!"
Meng Zhen blinked: "But how do we clean up?" The other party is the royal family.
The corners of Gu Ting's lips curled slightly: "Isn't there Yao Meiren?"
Being a little demon or something can be done!
As for what happened last night, he wasn't worried at all, because the news came back one after another early in the morning.
Ye Pengzhen arrived very timely last night, there was a lot of money, and people were full of energy. While others were still drinking celebration wine, they finished their work quietly. Nothing happened.
You said Huo Yan killed someone?did not see it!corpses all over the place?Where?Zhang Duo is also dead?This is really dead, but there is no evidence or witnesses, you can't just slander and bite!
As for the small building, Ye Pengzhen also carefully checked it. It was a small building that had been vacant for a long time. No one lived in it. After a long time, the people around were used to it. In this kind of place, it is easiest to make up ghost stories. What kind of ghosts kill daughters-in-law to revenge scholars and cry for grievances?
Ye Pengzhen may not have achieved such a great effect by doing this alone, but there are people behind her, and Mao Mao volunteered to help, and the aboveboard and the street are gone. It's just public opinion for a while, how can it be uncontrollable?
Real or fake, far and near rubbed in, all kinds of embellishment, stealing everyone's attention, you said Zhang Duo is dead, sorry, who is he?
I don't care at all.
In contrast to the horror and frightening ghost stories, there is also the story of King Zhenbei, who simply and neatly finished the battle and killed people during the day, and his blood was still alive. One is called fierce, and the other is called deep. Is the thorn stimulating?
A big event did happen last night. The traces can't deceive people, but the facts can be tampered with. I don't know how Ye Pengzhen and Rang Mao did it. In the end, they became the King of Zhenbei to save people from the fire.Those who died accidentally were all bad lives and were not saved, but this credit is indelible!
There is also Mr. Gu Ting, tsk tsk is even more powerful, when the prince was almost insane to save someone, he woke him up by hitting a pearl...
We can't learn the romance of your rich people!Those are pearls, priceless pearls, who can throw them around so casually!
There have long been rumors that Mr. Gu likes pearls in the market. Some people don't believe it, but after this incident, this impression is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it can never be changed.
The common people chatted, the crown prince rebelled, and the king of Zhenbei led his troops to help at the critical moment. Their little common people don't know how to thank them for such a great merit. If they want to come, there is no shortage of princes. Do you force yourself on the young master?We can't give you big pearls from the deep sea. If you weave some small pearls into patterns, the young master will definitely like them too?
In the next few days, every morning when the gate of Zhenbei Palace was opened, there was a pile of things made of beads.
The color is different, the texture is different, the quality is different, some even have only one, but the idea is very ingenious, the pendant, the blessing knot and the lapel are everything, and once I received a small takraw ball, which is small and exquisite and very beautiful, the little lynx I fell in love with it at a glance, and said overbearingly to play, and no one would give it to me.
Gu Ting: ...
The people in the capital are also very cute.
