After all, the Marquis didn't let Gu Yan settle the bill. He took out his money bag and handed it to Xiao er. However, maybe he took it too fast and brought out a red string lute knot.

Gu Yan quickly picked up the pipa knot, which seemed to be some years old, faded and hairy.

It's hard to imagine that a man with iron bone should have such a thing in his purse.

"From your confidant?" Gu Yan asked.

At first sight, it was given by a woman, but it would never be the old lady in the mansion. He and Mrs. Gu are very close to each other, so he would not wear the things she sent.

"Well, no, don't talk nonsense." The old Marquis put the pipa knot back in his purse.

Gu Yan didn't believe it. He asked curiously, "I can't see that you still have a confidant. Where is she now?"

Certainly not at home, your aunt has been taken care of by Mrs. Gu.

The old Marquis has never mentioned his feelings to others in these years, and all his bitterness is in his heart. To be honest, he really has a desire to pour out.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "it's a friend of mine. He left me. I'm going to return it to him."

friend of mine?

What a familiar beginning!

Gu Yan, who read all the Fengyue scripts of the old sacrificial wine, said that he understood it very well!

He picked a handsome eyebrow: "where is your friend's confidant now?"

The old Marquis sighed, "she has become a monk."

"Why become a monk?" Gu Yan asked.

"When my husband died, I couldn't help myself. But... "Speaking of this, the old Marquis paused," maybe it's to see my friend again in his lifetime. "

I can't see that the old man is so popular with women.

Gu Yan didn't ask the reason why he couldn't help himself. His focus was on the last sentence. He said thoughtfully: "so, this confidant is very affectionate to your friend."

The old Marquis looked down at the concentric knot in his hand and said, "it's a pity that we met too late. I wish we could meet before we got married."

Gu Yan said, "but isn't her husband already dead? Besides, she has become a nun for your friend. Can't you... Cough, I mean, can't your friend really see it? "

The old Marquis frowned: "you mean --"

Gu Yan said, "I mean, she may have been waiting for your friend to take her away."

"Take her... Away?" The old Marquis is surprised. The child is so unpredictable that he never stops talking!

Gu Yan nodded: "yes. I ask you, why does your friend think she became a monk just to meet him? She said that herself, didn't she? Or, she makes your friend feel her friendship with you. "

"... well." The old Marquis nodded and admitted.

Gu Yan slapped the table: "that's it! She's a woman. It's her limit to show a little friendship. She can't talk about you eloping with me. We men have to take the initiative to do this! "

The old Marquis was so shocked by Gu Yan's words that he forgot to say that you are only 15 years old and not a real man.

"This, this is too rebellious!"

How did the child grow up? He is braver than his three brothers!

Gu Yan: "what's wrong? If you like it, go for it. "

The Marquis hesitated: "if she doesn't want to --"

"If she doesn't want to, it means that she doesn't have your friend in her heart!" Gu Yan patted his grandfather on the shoulder and analyzed for him with his senior experience in reading the story books of the wind and the moon. "She has become a monk. What else can't she do? If she doesn't want to elope, there's only one truth - she doesn't like your friend, she's just using your friend's feelings for her all the time! "

-

Gu Jiao had been busy in the hospital all morning, but in the afternoon she was a little more relaxed. She seldom had to take a cool ride on the rattan chair under the big tree.

Separated by a wall, Li wanwan is practicing.

She is used to come here to practice for Gu Jiao at this time of day, but she doesn't know whether Gu Jiao is here every time.

Her piano skill has made great progress compared with years ago. However, she doesn't know if she has something on her mind today.

"You're playing wrong again." Gu Jiao said lightly.

"Ah." Li wanwan looks pale. She didn't expect the girl to be here today. After all, the girl hasn't listened to her practice for several days.

She was very busy and said, "I, I'll play it again."

The results are still unsatisfactory.

She was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

It's strange that she is not her teacher, but she is even more nervous than she is in front of her teacher.

"Sorry, I should be more attentive..." she bit her lip and whispered, "I may not be able to come next month... I... I'm going to get married..."

In fact, her age is not big, only 16, this dynasty is no better than the previous dynasty, women married at the age of 18 or 19 will not be criticized.

However, it also depends on the specific market. The rich family's money can afford it, and the poor and small women like her have to marry out early.

It's said that girls in the countryside got married earlier. I was lucky when I thought about it. At least when I got to 16, I caught up with a good opportunity to learn from girls for the first half of the year. Because of this, I got to know girls and got so much guidance from them.

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

No one plays the piano for himself.

When will xiaojiangli learn to play the piano?

"I've always wanted to say goodbye to the girl and say thank you. My biggest achievement in women's school is to get to know girls. My family would drop out of school for me in the next few years. The music that girls changed for me made me popular with Xie Yueshi. With his insistence, my family made me study for half a year. "

Li wanwan said, blushing a little. "It's thanks to the girl. I'm good at playing the piano. A gentleman of a noble family heard me. He came to my father's door and asked for a kiss. "

Gu Jiao didn't see her look, but it's not hard to hear her longing for marriage. It seems that she is also in love with the young man.

"Girl, can I... Can I give you something? You've taught me so much. I'm sorry if I just leave. Please be sure to accept my thanks. It's not a valuable thing. It's a small medicine bag. Please accept it

"Well." Gu Jiao answered lightly.

Li wanwan was overjoyed and took out the rusty medicine bag from her wide sleeve for several nights, so as not to throw it too lightly. She put some dates in it.

"Girl, go on!"

She threw the medicine bag over the wall.

Gu Jiao caught it with one hand: "thank you very much."

Li wanwan smiles: "it should be! Well, I'm leaving! In the last few days, I will try my best to play more music for the girl. If I don't come one day, I won't come again. "

At the end of the day, her heart suddenly fell.

I don't want to be a girl.

I don't know if I can meet such a person who is both a teacher and a friend.

She packed the guqin, picked up the box and left.

Pop!

A small brocade bag landed on her piano box.

She slightly a Zheng: "girl?"

"Wedding present." Gu Jiao said.

Li wanwan laughed happily like a child.

"Miss Gu, Miss Gu! Someone is going to call the doctor out, saying that the situation is critical! " Xiao Sanzi ran over in a hurry.

"How critical is it?" Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Sanzi said in fear: "hand... Hand is broken! Cut it off! He's a lumberjack

This is a major operation. Gu Jiao has to go there in person.

"OK, I'll go." Gu Jiao carries a small basket on her back, and the third son drives her to the mansion in Qingliu street that the young man said.

As he walked, he felt that something was wrong: "ah? This is not the way to Qingliu street! "

The boy rode in front of him. He didn't look back and said, "when I came here, I was building roads there. We have to go around here."

"What's the matter? Is it the wrong way? " Gu Jiao asked faintly.

"A little round." Xiao Sanzi muttered.

Gu Jiao opened the curtain and looked at the scene along the street.

Not every street in the capital is bustling, and some remote places are very desolate.

This is an old street with few pedestrians and shops. Further ahead is an official road with wheat fields on both sides.

Yes, there are fields in the capital, but they are all in relatively remote areas.

"It's a good place to ambush..."

This is the instinct developed when I was a killer in my previous life. When I saw the location, I would subconsciously judge whether it was suitable for the crime.

However, as soon as the thought flashed through her mind, she stopped.

Something's wrong.

There's something very wrong.

It's the killer's instinct.

Gu Jiao put down the curtain, opened the front of the curtain, she shot a silver needle, Shua stabbed in front of the guide.

With a scream, Zijun fell down immediately.

"Miss Gu, you --" xiaosanzi was stunned.

"Turn around!" Gu Jiao didn't have time to explain to him.

Xiao Sanzi is worthy of meeting the world with Gu Jiao. He didn't lose his chain at the critical moment. I'm afraid that the second boss here has already choked people and fainted.

He didn't ask why he turned around. He believed Gu Jiao.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The people in black who were lying in ambush under the ridge of the field rushed towards Gu Jiao's carriage like arrows.

Everyone is holding a cold shining sword in his hand. His eyes are sharp and murderous!

Gu Jiao doesn't need to count to know that there are ten people on the other side.

I really think highly of her. I sent so many people to kill her!

"You go first!"

Gu Jiao jumps out of the carriage.

Xiao Sanzi doesn't show any affectation. He knows his weight and doesn't know martial arts. If he stays, he will only become a burden to Miss Gu.

It's better to report to the government as soon as possible, maybe we can help Miss Gu.

Of course, it would be nice if he could divert a few assassins.

He fought for Miss Gu!

"Come on! Assassins

He tugged at the reins and looked back.

Er, there is no one to catch up with

Gu Jiao is surrounded by people in black.

Her cold eyes swept: "let's go together, one by one, it's too tired."

The man in black showed his disdainful eyes and rushed to Gu Jiao.

"I'll try my black powder with you." Gu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly. Unfortunately, there were only three of them, and she didn't know how powerful they were.

In her previous life, she played with a small volley that could explode without lighting it and throwing it on the ground.

The black powder she made is similar to the small smash gun, but it is more powerful.

Gu Jiao took out a piece of black powder and threw it on a man in black. There was a loud bang and the man in black was stunned.

careless.

Gu Jiao is not very satisfied and not very disappointed.

She used a lot of materials to blow herself up in the sky. It's not bad that such a small one can knock people out.

The assassins had never seen such strange concealed weapons. They were so powerful and powerful that everyone was shocked by the explosion.

People look at Gu Jiao with fear.

Gu Jiao coldly hooks the corner of her lips, grabs one of them's knives and blows them away.

The rest of the people responded and rushed to Gu Jiao again.

However, the explosion just now directly destroyed their morale. Gu Jiao solved it very quickly. After the Last Assassin fell down, Gu Jiao clapped her hands lightly.

But who also did not expect is, a dangerous breath suddenly approaching.

What a terrible smell!

Gu Jiao's heart was shocked and she couldn't escape.

That man is too fast!

At the critical moment, a sword light chopped down to block the man's assassination, then stretched out another arm, took Gu Jiao's waist, and took her back quickly.

"Wait for me here!"

Gu Changqing said that and killed him with his sword.

This is Gu Jiao's first time to see Gu Changqing. The real meaning is to fight with others, which is much stronger than imagined, but he is still not the other side of the other side.

That is a person who even Gu Jiao will have a trace of fear.

This man's strength is stronger than his previous life.

How could that be?

Who on earth is he?

Gu Changqing took the opponent's hand and steadied himself with his sword.

Gu Jiao took out the last two black gunpowder and threw them at each other!

The man thought it was an ordinary concealed weapon. When he cut it with one sword, he heard two loud noises. It was not known whether the man was frightened or shocked by the black fire medicine.

All in all, he stepped back a few steps, a little surprise in his cold eyes.

Didn't either of them explode?

You are the best of the best

Gu Jiao put her hand into her purse and continued to dig it out. In fact, it was gone. She only wanted to bluff the other side. Fortunately, she did.

The other side gives Gu Jiao a cold glance and leaves with her lightness skill.

Gu Changqing looked at the direction of the other party's departure, suddenly covered his chest and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Gu Jiao hurried forward to feel his pulse.

Gu Changqing waved his hand: "I'm ok, a little internal injury, just have a rest."

As he said this, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his knuckles. With his other hand, he took the sword back to its scabbard and asked Gu Jiao, "what's the matter with you?"

"I'm fine." Gu Jiao shook her head.

Gu Changqing whistled, and his horse came rushing.

Brother and sister got on the horse.

"These people?" Gu Jiao looks at the man in black who faints on the ground.

Gu Changqing seems to have a lot of experience: "I can't find out anything. Just now that talent is the key. These are just some scoundrels in the world who take money to do business. They don't even know the identity of the gold owner."

Gu Jiao nodded.

Brother and sister went back to Bishui Hutong.

As soon as the old sacrificial wine came back from the Imperial College, he saw Gu Changqing with a pale face and a frown: "what's the matter?"

Gu Changqing looked at Gu Jiao and said, "I met a group of assassins."

"Assassin?" The eyes of the old wine worshiper wandered over the two people, "who assassinated you or who assassinated Jiao Jiao?"

"The one who assassinated me." Gu Jiao said truthfully.

She jumped down from the horse, handed her hand to Gu Changqing and helped him down.

The old man looked around, pulled the reins of the horse, and said to the second man, "follow me."

……

"You mean that man's martial arts might not even be able to beat your grandfather?"

After listening to the incident, the old wine deeply frowned, "it's impossible... How can your grandfather's skill not beat an assassin?"

"That person's breath is very..." Gu Jiao wants to say that she is familiar with it, because she smells the same breath on the other person, who is a killing machine just like herself in the previous life.

"Weird." Gu Changqing finished for Gu Jiao, but she didn't finish saying, "it's different from all the experts I've seen before. The way of martial arts is different, the internal power is different, and he has tattoos on his face!"

The man was wearing a mask, but Gu Jiao threw the strange concealed weapon and cracked the mask.

He saw half of the tattoo.

"What kind of tattoo?" Old wine brought paper and pen, "you draw for me to see."

Gu Changqing drew half a tail.

The old wine man's face changed: "it's the Dragon shadow guard!"

"What is the Dragon shadow guard?" Gu Jiao asked.

Gu Changqing had already understood, and his look became dignified: "he was the dead man of the former Emperor."

The old toaster thought: "in order to deal with Zhuang Jinse, the former Emperor secretly trained a group of dead men. The youngest was only five years old. He passed them on to his majesty before he died."

Gu Changqing frowned: "Your Majesty wants to kill Jiaojiao?"

The old man waved his hand: "No. Your majesty is so tender that you can't hurt her. Your majesty has transferred the Dragon shadow guard to another person in order to protect her from Zhuang Jinse's persecution. "

Gu Changqing was stunned and said, "that man is --"

The old wine official said: "quiet princess."

Gu Changqing took a breath!
