The timing of Yeluluan’s appearance was so coincidental that the emperor had to suspect that the arrow that had just been shot at Gu Zezhi came from Yeluluan.
Yeluluan: "..."
Of course he noticed the emperor's skeptical look, and hated in his heart: Today is too bad.
There was a burning sensation from the wound on his left face, which kept reminding him that he had suffered a great loss.
Yeluluan twitched the corners of his mouth, the **** half of his face was even more hideous and distorted, and said in his heart: Next, Gu Zezhi will confess his intention to murder him, but who has the evidence to prove that the arrow was his Let go, what evidence is there to prove that he deliberately attacked him?
He just saw Emperor Daqi being attacked by a bear and went up to help. It was inevitable that he would miss a moment.
He is the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, even if Gu Zezhi really died today, as long as there is no evidence to prove that he was "intentional", Emperor Daqi can't do anything to him!
Not to mention, now Gu Zezhi is fine at all, it is him who is really in trouble!
Yeluluan waited for Gu Zezhi to complain first, and then he could logically ask Gu Zezhi whether he was holding a grudge, so he deliberately induced the bear to hurt himself!
No matter what the truth is, the result is here. Gu Zezhi was unscathed, but he was injured. Emperor Daqi must give himself an explanation to Yan Guo.
Thinking of this, Yeluluan felt happy, and even the wound on his face didn't seem to hurt so much.
Their Liangzi has already been formed, and he will not let Gu Zezhi go easily.
Yeluluan looked at Gu Zezhi with scorching eyes.
result……
"The emperor, can I try him?"
Gu Zezhi raised his finger to the guard Zheng Feng who was kneeling a few steps away.
Yeluluan: "?"
Yeluluan was stunned for a moment, as if a breath that was about to be exhaled was slapped back abruptly, held in his chest, unable to go up and down.
The emperor nodded.
As a result, Gu Zezhi rode his horse to Zheng Feng and looked at him condescendingly. The white horse snapped his nose proudly.
Gu Zezhi didn't speak, but the look in his eyes made Zheng Feng feel a great pressure, as if he was being stared at by some beast, as if he would be torn apart by the opponent if he moved a little bit.
Zheng Feng couldn't help but see a thin cold sweat from the back of his neck, and his heart beat faster and faster.
boom! boom! boom!
In this silent night in the mountains and forests, the heartbeat echoing in my ears is as loud as a drum.
After a long period of silence, Gu Zezhi suddenly spoke, with a slight sarcasm in his tone, "The son is really well-intentioned."
The cold sweat on Zheng Feng's body soaked through his shirt, he swallowed calmly, and said with his chin open, "Why did Young Master Gu say this!"
"I remember, you have a red birthmark on your right back shoulder, right?"
Gu Zezhi curled his lips and smiled, his smile is always so warm and calm, as if nothing could make him gloomy.
Zheng Feng frowned as he watched Gu Zezhi frowned. He wanted to say how you knew, and then changed to: "What if there is? What if there is no?"
The corner of Gu Zezhi's lips smiled deeper, "You used to serve as a guard in the Royal Palace for two years. Four years ago, in the summer, I saw you from a distance in the martial arts field, naked or naked to accompany your son."
His voice is not hurried or slow, with a certain degree of determination, a little bit of bamboo in the chest, elegant and calm, in sharp contrast with Zheng Feng's embarrassment, it is difficult to doubt what he said.
"Nonsense!" Zheng Feng desperately kept himself calm, not being suppressed by Gu Zezhi's momentum, and shouted to the emperor, "The emperor Mingjian, the last general..."
Gu Zezhi raised his hand and made a gesture, so one of the guards who restrained Zheng Feng suddenly pulled a handful of his back collar, and a red birthmark the size of a long eye appeared on his right back shoulder.
Gu Zezhi turned his head to look at the emperor, and said: "Look, the emperor, the red birthmark is here, which proves that what the minister said is true!"
Zheng Feng's face changed drastically, he was anxious, and blurted out: "Impossible, I have never entered the palace!"
Gu Zezhi looked at him again, his eyebrows slanted, with a slightly faint smile, and said: "So, you admit that you were sent by the son of the world."
Zheng Feng: "..."
He knew that he had been misled by Gu Zezhi and missed his mouth!
"You...how did you know?" Zheng Feng couldn't help asking. How did Gu Zezhi know that he is the son of the world!
Gu Zezhi ignored Zheng Feng and said to the emperor: "The emperor, the minister is over."
The emperor furrowed his eyebrows deeply, and said in a low voice, "He is the one from the palace?"
Gu Zezhi bluntly said: "I don't know if it is from the palace, but it should be from the elder son."
"Then how do you know that he has a red birthmark on him?" the emperor asked.
Gu Zezhi glanced at Qin Jiao with a smile, and said, "Xiao Jiao's whip tore his back collar just now, and the minister just caught a glance."
He just glanced at Zheng Feng with a red birthmark on his body and scammed it.
This fraud came out.
Gu Zezhi sighed and muttered to himself: "I have already avoided the capital, but the elder son still doesn't want to let me go. I am not interested in the title of Prince Duan, so why don't the elder son believe it?
The corners of the emperor's lips were pressed tightly, his face was not very good.
He noticed that Gu Zezhi only called Gu Chenzhi the eldest son, not the "big brother", which shows that the relationship between the brothers is the same.
He couldn't help thinking of the two people caught in Qingyun County. They were also ordered by the king's son.
After all, this was a family affair in the Duan Palace. The emperor sent them to the Duan Wang. Later, Duan Wang wrote and said that he would thoroughly investigate the matter.
The emperor thought that King Duan could at least restrain his son, but he didn't expect to have another accident within two months...
Thinking about it, the emperor once again looked at Yeluluan not far away, his eyes narrowed slightly.
In order to get rid of Gu Zezhi, Duan Wang Shizi did not hesitate to cooperate with Yeluluan? !
The emperor subconsciously squeezed the rein in his hand, and said to himself in his heart, no, the palace must be replaced!
Duanwangfu guards the border, holding heavy soldiers, and for a prince, Duanwangshizi will not let go of his brother, which is enough for other ambitions.
And now, he has an inexplicable relationship with Beiyan. Once he gets the military power of the Royal Palace in the future, will he cooperate with Beiyan and lead the wolf into the room for this supreme position?
The emperor's lips tightened again, his face sinking like water, and his whole body released an aura of self-confidence.
The surroundings fell into silence, and the atmosphere was slightly condensed.
The emperor didn't speak, and everyone else was silent. There was only the sound of cold wind around him, and the temperature seemed to drop a lot.
I don’t know how long it took, the emperor’s voice sounded again in the cold night breeze:
"Back to the hunting palace."
Now that the bears for the sacrifice have been hunted, the night hunting tonight can also end early.
The emperor gave the order, and everyone else immediately took the order, and then performed their duties. Some went to deal with the bear corpse, some went to the front to clear the way, and some lined up behind the empress.
However, just as the emperor had just turned his horse around, there was an exclamation from behind: "Zheng Feng! Zheng Feng..."
Immediately afterwards, a guard walked towards the emperor in stride, clasped his fist and said: "The emperor, Zheng Feng, he committed suicide!"
The emperor grabbed the reins, stopped the horse again, turned his head and looked over,
Only three or four feet away, Zheng Feng fell to the ground bleeding from the corners of his mouth. The surrounding torches lit up his face. His eyeballs protruded and were bloodshot. They were muddy and godless. The corners of his mouth were dripping. That line of blood is not red, but black like ink.
Obviously, Zheng Feng died of poisoning.
The night wind roared, and the flames on the torches swayed with the wind, casting a strange shadow on the emperor's face, making the emperor's face even more ugly.
"Take the corpse and return to the hunting palace."
The emperor dropped these words, and then he squeezed the horse's belly and rode his horse towards the hunting palace.
The guard commander led a group of guards of the Forbidden Army to quickly follow, and the messy horseshoes appeared particularly loud in this silent forest.
Yeluluan froze on the spot, looking at the direction of the emperor's departure, feeling as if he had been forgotten.
Shouldn't they question themselves? !
He has already figured out how to return, already figured out how to force Emperor Daqi to be speechless...
However, how did the development of things completely go in another direction.
Yeluluan's pair of blue-eyed dark birds were like owls, and his heart was dull as if something was stuck in there, and his face hurt even more. His wound was still dripping blood, and it landed on the grass below.
Those faint sounds were infinitely amplified in his ears, as if someone slapped his face slap after slap, making his face hot and painful.
Yeluluan had never suffered such a big setback in her life.
Qin Jiu rode a horse and slowly walked past Yeluluan. When he passed by, he deliberately looked down at him, moved his lips, and said silently: deserve it.
Without waiting for Yeluluan's reaction, she pinched the horse's belly and drove the horse towards Gu Zezhi cheerfully. She was very happy: the skill of fighting with others is to quickly pull the black after the fight, and don't talk to the other party. opportunity!
Yeluluan was holding a sigh of breath, and being excited by Qin Jiu, his anger burned even more, and said bitterly, "Qin, Jiu."
His teeth rattled.
For Qin Jiu, Yeluluan has a complicated feeling that is beyond words.
In the beginning, it was because of the compound bow.
On the day of the Thousand Autumn Festival, he was amazed when he saw the compound bow in the Imperial Garden.
As someone who grew up on horseback, this compound bow was too attractive to him. Therefore, he asked the Emperor Daqi to marry Qin Jiu. Anyway, he married Daqi and married one that suits his wishes. Women are better.
As a result, Emperor Daqi refused.
Yeluluan was never a person who gave up lightly, so when he ran into Qin Jiu in a restaurant that day, he seized the opportunity to express his intentions, and wanted to force her to agree, but was disrupted by Gu Zezhi.
At that time, Qin Jiu didn't say anything, but Yeluluan could guess that this was a silent rejection.
Yeluluan didn’t have to be Qin Jiu, but it’s different now...
Yeluluan stared closely at Qin Jiu's smiling face in front.
"Brother, you and General Yu should be regarded as the leaders of the night hunting today!"
Qin Jiao talked to Gu Zezhi with a smile, and shook the whip in his hand, his eyes sparkling. The emperor said before that the leader of today's night hunting has many rewards.
Gu Zezhi smiled non-committal, spread his hands, "Give me the whip."
Gu Zezhi didn't grasp the rein, his white horse slowly and slowly carried his master forward with the rein in his mouth.
what? ! Qin Jiu looked at Gu Zezhi slightly opened his mouth, reluctantly returned the whip.
Gu Zezhi took the whip and fiddled with the big red web on the handle of the whip.
Qin Jiao noticed that the decorative winding on the whip handle had loosened.
His fingers are slender and white like a jade bamboo, with a little red bear's blood stained between them, and the movements are skillfully weaved loosely. This simple movement is made by him, and there is an indescribable elegance and dexterity. .
After rearranging the Luozi, Gu Zezhi handed the whip back to Qin Jiao, "Take it."
Qin Jiao took it again obediently, and the tip of her heart trembled slightly, as if something was dripping, causing her lips to bend uncontrollably.
Yeluluan looked at Qin Jiu for a while, then looked at Gu Zezhi again, and veins appeared on her clenched fists.
It's just a woman, the more he doesn't get it, the more he wants it.
Since Gu Zezhi values Qin Jiao so much, he still has to fight with Gu Ze!
Hmph, the more challenging things are, the more worth a try, isn't it? !
Yeluluan's pupils seemed to be burning with male flames.
After putting the riding whip on the waist again, Qin Jiao smiled and said again: "Thigh...cough cough, brother," she raised her eyebrows and glanced in Zheng Feng's direction, and said tentatively, "That Zheng Feng committed suicide... "She wanted to ask if Zheng Feng's suicide would harm Gu Zezhi.
Gu Zezhi: "Thighs?"
Qin Jiu smiled flatteringly, and said solemnly: "This is a respectable title!"
"..." Gu Zezhi looked at her quietly, and when Qin Jiao was almost guilty, he said quietly, "It's better to die."
Gu Zezhi had already noticed that Zheng Feng would commit suicide, but he didn't stop him.
A guard of the imperial army with a background in martial arts, originally had a bright future, but could be so loyal to Prince Duan, and he would die like a dead man.
Duan Palace has military power, and there are dead soldiers, and this dead soldier is placed in front of the emperor, even if he is enlightened, the emperor will be vigilant.
Qin Jiao: "?"
Qin Jiu didn't understand, but because Jin Thigh is so powerful, he must have known that someone was plotting against him a long time ago, so he just calculated it.
Qin Jiu's thoughts were all revealed on her face. Gu Ze understood it at first glance, but smiled silently, a glimmer of light flashed across his eyes.
When he discovered "Yin Xiong San", Gu Zezhi inferred that someone wanted to deal with him.
Therefore, when the black bear appeared, he was already on guard, and was able to successfully take the cold arrow shot by Yeluluan.
Later, Zheng Feng showed his feet, and Gu Zezhi confirmed that the people who wanted his life were not only Yeluluan, but also Gu Chenzhi, because it was impossible for Beiyan to lay such a **** in the Forbidden Army and start from the martial arts. To enter the Forbidden Army, at least one must be an innocent man from three generations.
Gu Zezhi didn't intend to explain this to Qin Jiao, but raised his hand to touch the top of her soft hair, and said with a smile: "Good."
His word "good" was a little bit of a smile, a little joking.
Qin Jiao: "?"
She is not a child!
Qin Jiao pouted childishly, raised his hand and rubbed his head, the sticky touch under his hand made her startled.
She quickly put her hand down, only to see a little blood on her white palm.
It was red, moist, and very fresh blood.
Of course she was not injured, so the blood belonged to Gu Zezhi.
If the blood was the blood that was contaminated when the bear was hit, it should be done now.
Did Jin's thigh just hurt?
This thought appeared in Qin Jiu's heart, her eyes opened slightly, and she tightened the reins nervously.
"Big Brother..." She glanced at Gu Zezhi's right hand, and noticed sharply that not only there was blood between his fingers, but also his riding clothes were stained with blood, and it was still in the abdomen!
Qin Jiao twisted his eyebrows, remembering the cold arrow that had just "shot" Gu Zezhi, and the broken jade pendant.
Could it be that……
Gu Zezhi also noticed Qin Jiu's gaze and followed her gaze to the pool of blood on his abdomen.
I understood it all at once.
He didn't say anything, just covered his abdomen with his right hand...
Qin Jiu's eyes widened, and he found more blood spilled between his fingers, which were so dazzling red against the background of his white fingers.
Qin Jiu confirmed that the golden thigh was indeed injured!
Moreover, he should be trying to fool someone, so he deliberately pretended to be okay? !
Qin Jiu sat up upright alertly, his thoughts turning quickly: Is he trying to blind Yeluluan, or is he, his elder brother? !
In any case, Gu Zezhi has his own reason for doing things, so he can't explain it!
During the next journey, Qin Jiu tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, and he smiled and talked to Gu Zezhi, but he didn't dare to look back at Ye Luluan, for fear that he would see the clues.
The journey back to the hunting palace went very smoothly. When they left the hunting grounds, it was not even the second shift.
After waiting for the hunting platform, the emperor looked back at Yeluluan, who was riding behind him without a word.
The blood on Yeluluan's left face had already solidified, and the skin of the wound was slightly turned up, half of his face was **** and bloody, and against the light of the torch jumping, it looked like a ghost.
The emperor said with a faint expression: "Come here, the emperor Xuan will show Prince Yelu a look."
"No need." Yeluluan interrupted the emperor's words bluntly, and arched his hands casually, "I am taking medicine myself. The emperor, please let me go."
Without waiting for the emperor's promise, Yeluluan pulled the reins and turned away without reluctance.
Since Yeluluan said that he did not need to be too doctor, the emperor would not force him, and ordered to the guard leader: "Blow the horn."
When the people in the hunting ground hear the sound of the horn, they will know that the bear as the sacrifice has been hit, that is to say, the night hunt is over.
Immediately one of the guards raised a huge horn, and the whimpering horn resounded through the mountains and forests and spread far away.
Seeing here for a while, Qin Jiao took a look at Gu Zezhi, who was still holding his abdomen beside him, and how weak he looked, and thoughtfully pointed to the direction of the pergola and suggested, "Brother, do you want to sit there? ?"
Gu Zezhi nodded, rolled over and got off the horse.
Qin Jiu also got off his horse, subconsciously wanted to help him, and remembered that he "does not want people to find him hurt", so he quickly put his hands down, looking at him with a pair of apricot eyes, for fear that he would lose too much blood.
Gu Zezhi sat down in the pergola. Qin Jiu first sat opposite him, and then felt that it was not very good. After thinking about it, he asked, "Big brother, would you like to drink water?"
Gu Zezhi's jaw slightly.
Qin Jiao ran to Taqing quickly, untied a water bag from his horse, and ran back quickly.
"Brother, drink water." Qin Jiao opened the water bag and handed it over.
The water bag just stopped in mid-air.
Gu Zezhi's left arm rested on the stone table with his elbow, his left hand supporting his face, and his right hand covering his abdomen. He looked weak and weak, just not holding it.
Qin Jiao: "?"
Qin Jiao resignedly took a step towards him, leaned over and brought the mouth of the water bag to his lips, carefully holding the bottom of the water bag, and said again: "Brother, drink water."
After serving Gu Zezhi a few sips of water, Qin Jiao asked again: "Would you like something to eat?"
Although today was a hunting ground after dinner, Qin Jiu thought, Gu Zezhi will have to fight wit and courage tonight, and he must consume a lot of calories. Now that I am injured again, I have to take some supplements.
Gu Zezhi: "Also."
So, Qin Jiao ran to Taqing again, took off a leather side bag from the horse, and ran back.
Qin Jiu rummaged in his bag, and took out several bottles one after another...
Gu Zezhi: "..." How many things did this girl bring into the hunting ground?
He looked at it with interest, pointed a white jade jar that was only half a palm, and asked casually: "What is this?"
"Mint leaves." Qin Jiu answered with a glance, "Chew a slice after eating." Keep your breath fresh!
"what about this?"
"A...I mean weevils." Aloe vera is also called weevils. If you get bitten by insects, you can apply it.
With that, Qin Jiu took out a small box from his skin.
This box is the size of a bowl, and there are not many snacks in it, only six yuan in total.
She had thought that most of the night hunting tonight would have to stay up all night, and for fear that she was hungry, she brought a box.
Qin Rui remembered that he didn't like too sweet food, so he used a kerchief to hold a piece of rose cake and handed it to his mouth.
"Brother, this is delicious."
Gu Zezhi bit the rose cake with her hand.
The rose cake is soft and sweet, with a little rose fragrance, it tastes really good.
Qin Jiao himself ate a piece of peach blossom crisp, which was crispy and delicious, with distinct layers, which was a little bit sweeter and greasy.
She picked up the water sac and subconsciously wanted to drink saliva, but as soon as the water sac came to her lips, she suddenly remembered what Gu Zezhi had just drunk, and then stiffly put the water sac down, pretending that nothing happened. "Haha" dryly laughed twice, and then said: "Brother, or else, you should look for an emperor to see it?"
"Don't take it improperly like Yeluluan, he has a rough skin, let's not compare with him."
"Or, do you have golden sore medicine yourself? I'll get it for you, okay?"
Qin Jiu remembered that he should have gold sore medicine. When he first saw him in Yao Qing County, he had wounds on his body, and the injuries were not minor, and he himself had not taken care of them properly.
Gu Zezhi ate another piece of rose cake with her veil, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Why is it called the Imperial Doctor?" There seemed to be a slight smile in his voice.
Qin Jiu: "You are injured." It's not good to avoid illness and cure!
Gu Zezhi looked at her with a smile, her smile was as gentle as the spring breeze, and her heartbeat seemed to stop.
In the next instant, I saw Gu Zezhi spread his right hand in front of him and said, "Is this hurt?"
There was a small crack in his right palm, about an inch and a half long, the crack was a bit deep, and blood continued to ooze out, but it was definitely not a serious injury.
Qin Jiu: "???"
At that moment, Qin Jiu seemed to understand something, his eyes widened.
