"Gu Yunzhi, let me tell you a secret."

It was probably a spring night, and the rain was pattering on the eaves.

In Babu's bed, the little girl had several glasses of plum wine, and suddenly these words fell in his ear.

Gu Changjin often feels that this exquisite bed in Songsiyuan is another world.

As soon as the curtain embroidered with pomegranate blossoms falls, he can be the real Gu Changjin, not the Gu Changjin who is Xiao Yan.

Hearing that the little drunkard wanted to tell him a secret, he leaned his head sideways, curled his lips, and said, "What secret?"

"I don't like Wutong Lane. No," the little girl blinked and said, "I like Wutong Lane. But I don't like it here."

She took her hand out of Yue'er's pillow and pointed outside, "I don't like the whole Gu Mansion."

Gu Changjin looked at her and agreed, "I don't like it either. "

The little girl put down her hand, looked at him, and asked: "You don't like it here either?"

Gu Changjin said "Yes", imitating her just now, and leaned into her ear and said unscrupulously: "Rong Zhaozhao, so do I. Let me tell you a secret."

"What secret?"

"I am Gu Changjin, and I have always been Gu Changjin.

" The girl corrected him, pointing to her head and pinching his ears. He said: "You are Gu Yunzhi, the Gu Yunzhi I created here, you are not Gu Changjin."

He laughed and snorted, gently pinched her pointed mandible, and said: "Wrong, Rong Zhaozhao. From now on, you will Got it, Gu Yunzhi is Gu Changjin, Gu Changjin is Gu Yunzhi. "Gu Changjin is Gu Yunzhi."

The man on the bed repeated these two sentences, and Rong Shu frowned slightly. After passing the medicine bowl in her hand to Luo Yan, she said softly: "Mr. Gu's fever has subsided. I'm going to ask Doctor Mou to come over and take a look. It's time to change the medicine prescription." 

She said and got up. 

Unexpectedly, Luo Yan suddenly pulled her gently, glanced at the bed, and said, "Miss Rong, Master Gu is awake." 

Rong Shu looked over. 

The man on the bed really opened his eyes, but his eyes were slightly blurred, and he was a little confused as to what night it was. 

After a while, the confusion in his dark eyes gradually dissipated, and he returned to his usual condensation. 

Turning his eyes slightly, he looked at her for a moment, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "How many days have I been lying in bed?" 

"Three days. Are you feeling better, sir?" Rong Shu said, "The doctor said it was you. The injury on your shoulder caused you to lose too much blood and you fell into a coma." 

His left shoulder was injured by a fire gun. Although the steel ball was taken out, the wound did not heal. After that, he rushed to the inner city to kill the enemy and the wound burst open. The pain got worse and worse, and the blood gushing from the wound never stopped. 

Speaking of this adult's willpower, he is truly the most determined person Rong Shu has ever seen. 

Hearing what Uncle Shiyi said, when Dr. Mou tore open his clothes to treat his wounds, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Ordinary people are hit by firecrackers and cannot stay in bed until they have to lie down for ten days and a half. This one is really powerful. Not only did he not While lying down, he could still chop off dozens of heads with a knife, and then he fell into a coma after making sure that the inner city was stable. With such a mind, it is no wonder that he became a fourth-level officer at a young age. " 

Rong Shu found out then that he went to the wine shop to look for her. At that time, it was already very uncomfortable. 

He forced himself to listen to what she said and then collapsed after she left. Maybe it was because he left a little dignity for the two of them, or maybe... he didn't want her to feel guilty. 

Gu Changjin said softly, "Hmm", and glanced at the medicine bowl in Luo Yan's hand. He paused for a moment, then sat up and said slowly, "Miss, please call Chang Ji and Zhui Yun in for me." 

Rong Shu noticed that he had changed the name of her to "Miss Rong" again, and felt relieved. 

The place where he lives now is a small abandoned side hall in the corner. 

There were many people coming and going in the main hall, but Doctor Mou said it was not suitable for him to recuperate, so he asked someone to clear out such a small room. 

Rong Shu went out and called Zhui Yun and Chang Ji in. 

The two of them have been guarding the small hall, and they will only leave when Rong Shu comes in to give medicine. So Rong Shu called and immediately entered the house. 

"Master!" 

Gu Changjin said "hmm" and said, "What's going on with General Liang?" 

Zhuiyun said, "General Liang has shot down almost twenty ships from Sifang Island, and the pirates are also dead. At least five to six thousand people. If the losses were so heavy as usual, this group of people would have retreated to Sifang Island. For some reason, they still haven't retreated until now." 

General Liang and Governor Liao teamed up to set up defenses and used Dayin's sea. The ship set up a line of defense near the sea, and it was not easy for Sifang Island to break through this line of defense. Especially now that I have been wandering on the sea for more than half a month, the food I brought is almost exhausted. If I don't return to Sifang Island, I will soon run out of ammunition and food. 

Gu Changjin thought for a while and said: "Wuzhida's two younger brothers want to avenge him." Urida's two younger brothers 

, one named Wu Riming and the other named Wu Rihui, were able to run rampant on Sifang Island. Over the years, his two younger brothers have contributed a lot. 

Chang Ji asked curiously: "How did they know that Urida was dead?" 

Zhuiyun glanced at him and took over, "Urida failed to cooperate with them inside and outside, and we have not taken Urida as a hostage for a long time, except He is dead and there is no other possibility." 

"The pirates on Sifang Island can no longer hold on. The reason why the pirates disguised themselves as distressed fishermen ran into the inner city was to grab food." He rubbed his eyebrows and said: "I will go back to the camp today. There are still some things to investigate. Lady Feng told me that besides Liao Rao, there was another person in Dayin who was colluding with the Water Dragon King. Before the Water Dragon King was killed, he was Buying firearms for that person. That person was very cautious, and Jiao Feng still hasn't found out the person's identity." 

Gu Changjin's face gradually turned cold when he thought of the injury on his shoulder. 

"The firearms used by Sifang Island this time, whether they are bird guns or Hongyi cannons, are very sophisticated. They are more advanced than the firearms developed by the Shenji Battalion. The firearms that the man asked the Water Dragon King to buy are probably the same firearms." 

Measurement 1 A country's fighting strength depends not only on how many soldiers it has and how many capable generals it has, but also on the weapons in its hands. A well-made blunderbuss can withstand ten soldiers who are not afraid of death. 

The person who secretly purchased firearms through the Water Dragon King clearly had rebellion in mind. 

There is more than one person in Shangjing who has thoughts of rebellion. 

It was Liu Miao Hall... 

Zhui Yun and Chang Ji's hearts dropped, their lips moved several times, and finally they swallowed the words that came to their mouths. 

There are some things you can only think about but not ask. 

While thinking about it, Chang Ji suddenly remembered something and said, "Master, do you have any countermeasures to the instructions from the other side of Liu Miao Hall?" 

Xu Fu ordered two things when Gu Changjin left for Beijing, one was to kill Liang Xiao, and the other was to kill Liang Xiao. Put the blame on Liao Rao. 

The emperor's order from the master was to investigate Liao Rao. Now that Jiao Feng has been recruited and Uzhida's words before his death, no matter how Liao Rao pleads, he cannot escape the crime of collaborating with the enemy. 

Xu Fu wanted to blame Liao Rao for Liang Xiao's death, wasn't it just to bring down Liao Rao? Liao Rao was convicted, and the task assigned by Xu Fu was half completed. 

The master would definitely not do anything but kill General Liang. 

As long as General Liang is not dead, the other side of Liu Miao Hall still doesn't know how to punish the master.

Chang Ji is worried about Xu Fu's methods.

Gu Changjin lowered his eyes and glanced at the injury on his shoulder, and said quietly: "I have already taken measures for this matter, you don't have to worry."

As soon as the master and servant finished speaking, Doctor Mou had already come to the small room with a medicine box. Outside the palace.

Gu Changjin glanced behind him, and there was no one there.

He pursed his lips slightly and looked back calmly.

Rong Shu only found out that Gu Changjin had left in the afternoon.

Lu Shiyi came back from patrol and kept sighing to her: "I heard that I had to go back to discuss something important with General Liang, so I didn't even care about my injury and left. Fortunately, General Liang also has a doctor. There are too many wounded soldiers there, and we may not be able to take care of you all the time."

After he said this, he paused and said, "Sir Gu was alone with you in the wine shop for a while, and he passed out after coming out. Tell Uncle Shiyi, what did you say that day?"

Rong Shucai didn't want to talk to Lu Shiyi, so he picked up the fan on the table and changed the subject clumsily.

"I heard from Chang Ji that the pirates on Sifang Island can't hold on any longer, and they will return to Sifang Island in half a month at most. I was just thinking about sending a letter to my mother-in-law. If Uncle Shi Yi is free, he can find it for me. How about a bodyguard delivering letters? "

Now that Yangzhou is trapped, the post office only delivers letters from the government. If the people want to deliver letters, they have to find people from the bodyguard bureau.

Sure enough, when Lu Shiyi heard this, he no longer wanted to ask about Rong Shu and Gu Changjin. He slapped his saber on the table, took a sip of tea and said, "I had someone give it to your mother a few days ago." I sent a message saying that you are fine, so that she should not worry. If you want to tell your mother that you are safe, there is no need to send a special message."

Rong Shu shook the fan in his hand and said, "I want my mother to do so. Come to Yangzhou."

Lu Shiyi was stunned: "Let your mother come to Yangzhou?"

Rong Shu said "yes" and talked about what Guo Jiuniang had said to her before, "Aunt Guo is right about these things. I shouldn't hide it from my mother-in-law. If my uncle really uses the Shen family to do something he shouldn't do, my mother-in-law is the one who wants to kill her relatives most with her own hands."

Lu Shiyi didn't know what he thought of, but suddenly smiled and said, "Shen. Yizhen will never be soft when it comes to being ruthless. If you do, leave the matter of delivering the letter to me." At

six o'clock in the morning, Gu Changjin returned to the garrison of the capital.

It was just when the golden crow was sinking in the west and the sunset was like fire. Compared with the previous days, the sound of gunfire on the sea actually subsided.

Liang Xiao just got off the ship and saw Gu Changjin and asked: "How is Master Gu's injury? Eunuch Qixin just sent someone over yesterday and said that he will have to be nursed for at least another five or six days. The pirates on Sifang Island are now at the end of their battles." "My lord, it's okay to recuperate in the inner city.

" Gu Changjin bowed his hands and said, "I'm fine, General Lao."

He looked really bad at this time, and Liang Xiao regarded injuries as a common occurrence. When he saw Gu Changjin's face, he could guess how serious his injuries were.

But he also understood why Gu Changjin came.

If he, Liang Xiao, were injured, he would probably be like him. As long as he was breathing, he would not leave the battlefield.

He sighed and said, "I don't advise you to go back to recuperate. I just want you to promise me not to use the Shanghai ship until your injury is healed."

Gu Changjin saw his serious expression, nodded in agreement, and said, "I heard from all directions. The island's pirates have been frantically attacking Governor Liao's ship these past two days?"

"Wu Rihui and Wu Riming knew they couldn't hold on for long, so they wanted to avenge their brother before returning to Sifang Island, so they bit Liao. The Governor's ship will not be released. Wu Rihui was killed by Governor Liao yesterday, and Wu Riming was also seriously injured. It's just that-"

Liang Xiao paused slightly, looked at Gu Changjin and said, "When Governor Liao faced the enemy, he was injured. He was also hit by a fire gun. Although the steel ball has been removed, the injury has not improved and the bleeding cannot be stopped. "

The fire gun was so powerful that Gu Changjin was hit on the shoulder and almost lost half his life.

What Liao is focusing on is the abdomen, where the internal organs are connected. Since ancient times, injuries to the lungs and internal organs have always been difficult to treat.

Liao Rao, I'm afraid he won't survive.

In the tent hundreds of meters away, Liao Rao was indeed exhaling more and inhaling less, but there was no sign of depression on his face like a dying man.

Liu Yuan was changing his dressing. He was lying on the couch, and suddenly he laughed out loud as he thought of something funny.

Then he looked at Liu Yuan sideways and said, "Eunuch Liu and Master Gu came to Yangzhou with the intention of taking Liao back to the capital to be questioned and beheaded. But now you have to save me desperately, do you feel aggrieved?"

Liu Yuan was narrow and long . His eyes turned slightly, fixed on Liao Yao's face as golden as paper, and said: "How can our family feel aggrieved? Governor Liao's injury was for Dayin. If our family can save it, we will definitely Try your best to save him."

When Liao Rao heard this, he was startled for a moment and then burst into laughter.

With this smile, a large ball of blood suddenly surged out of his abdomen.

"I just don't like the people of the Wuri family. The Wuri family has been entrenched on Sifang Island for so many years and has done a lot of harmful things. If possible, I would also like to go to the Diluo Kingdom in person and kill the entire Wuri family. "Liao Yao gasped while laughing.

Liu Yuan didn't answer, but calmly changed the cloth strips for him.

Liao Rao didn't care. He coughed twice and suddenly changed the topic and said, "You said Fan Jinshu was not in the carriage that day. Then let me ask you, where is she now?"

His two confidants had been to the place where the accident happened. , only the remains of a carriage that was blown to pieces were seen, but Fan Jinshu and her two maids were nowhere to be seen.

So many days have passed, but there is still no news, and even the body cannot be found.

Liu Yuan lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Mrs. Liao is still recovering from her injuries. Is there anything Governor Liao wants our family to bring to her?"

There was silence in the camp for a few moments.

Liao Rao closed his eyes and said with a smile: "No need, Fan Jinshu and I have nothing to say."

Liu Yuan looked at Liao Rao.

The doctor said he wouldn't last more than seven days.

Within seven days, he wanted to find out where the evidence of Liao Rao's private dealings with the second prince was hidden.

After leaving Liao Rao's tent, a soldier from the Warrior Battalion walked over quickly and said to Liu Yuan: "Sir, Master Gu is back."

Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows. Didn't Qixin say that he would recuperate in the inner city? ?

He thought for a moment and walked towards Gu Changjin's tent.

Gu Changjin was not surprised when he saw him coming, and asked directly: "How much time does Governor Liao have?"

Liu Yuandao said: "Seven days at most. If you can't find anything within seven days, you can only wait for Mrs. Liao to wake up. We will make plans after we come."

Gu Changjin frowned, "If Mrs. Liao really had evidence of Liao Rao's affair with the second prince, would she conceal it?"

"No," Liu Yuan said firmly, "Mrs. Liao is an old man. If there is any evidence that the minister raised him, he would have handed it over to the old minister long ago. As for why Liao Rao said that, we still can't guess his intention."

Gu Changjin was silent for a while and said, "Mrs. Ruo Liao. Not in the carriage, he said that to ask us to do our best to protect her. If Mrs. Liao was in the carriage, his words were for revenge."

Liu

Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and figured it out in a flash. Understand what Gu Changjin means by "revenge".

He was resenting the old minister for involving Mrs. Liao in the court battle.

If Mrs. Liao was really killed in the bombing, he wanted them to know that the only people in the world who knew where the evidence was were those who died because of their selfishness.

Once she died, the evidence they wanted would never be found.

"It means that he still doesn't understand Mrs. Liao. It's not that the old minister wants to involve Mrs. Liao, but that Mrs. Liao hopes that he will find his way back." Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Since it is for revenge, I think Liao Rao's words are also false."

"No, Liao Rao's words should be true." Gu Changjin looked at Liu Yuan and muttered: "After five days, if Liao Rao still doesn't let go, I will go to Chunyue Tower."

"Chun Yue Tower? "Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Why did Mr. Gu go to Chunyue Tower?"

"Borrowing medicine, borrowing people." Liu Yuan responded

and said, "Are you going to find that girl Lu Yi?"

After a pause, he turned his eyes slightly and said again: "The old madam Guo Jiuniang of Chunyue Tower protects the girl inside as if she were her eyes. If you want to borrow someone, you may have to ask Miss Rong for help."

Gu Changjin paused and thought of today. When I woke up, I saw half of a face as white as jade.

He had pinched the little girl's pointed chin gently in his dream, and even now, he still remembered the soft and smooth touch, like silk heated in a smoke cage.

Gu Changjin's Adam's apple rolled slightly and he made a faint "um" sound.

He really wanted to find her.
