Chapter 675: The Pastemaker

It's just a few warriors who trespassed on the palace forbidden, and didn't the strange news break out again, so they all retreated?

Gonggong Bai stretched out his hand to push the door, and in the face of Gu Ju's doubts, he put his hand down again, sighed and said, "None of us thought that there was a big master hidden among the martial artists who came to watch the battle, and he resisted the joint efforts of our family and Commander Hong, and from beginning to end, he was not defeated, and our family was afraid that if he was angry, he would wander around the palace and kill, so he didn't dare to force it too much, so he had to let all of them leave without doing more entanglement." ”

"The man also said when he left, he has wandered in the mountains and rivers since the completion of his divine achievements, he has seen many martial arts celebrities, and he has seen a lot of different creatures who have achieved great cultivation, but he has never found a master who can let him enjoy a battle. ”

"This man is very angry, the keyboard is crackling, I just don't know if there are two brushes under my hand, I want to talk to him face to face. Gu Juan smiled slightly, and there was a lot of regret in his tone.

Father-in-law Bai was silent for a moment, exhaled a breath of turbidity and asked, "Mr. Gu really wants to meet this person?"

"That's nature, could it be that Grandpa Bai knows where he is hiding now?"

Gu Juan rubbed the green jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand, and said with a smile, "You told me now, I will visit the door in a while to see this master who is known as an invincible opponent in the north." ”

As he spoke, he restrained his smile and sighed lowly, "You must know that even the predecessor of the return never said such a thing at the beginning, since he dared to say it, he must have the confidence to say so, it really makes me happy to see the hunting heart......"

"He will come over today or tomorrow, saying that he wants to find the library to read the classics, and let us open the door for him in advance. ”

"Okay, I see. Gu Juan nodded dispensably, and then followed Gonggong Bai into the small door in the inner room.

It is said that it is a small room in the Qinzheng Palace, but it is not small, at least seventy or eighty square meters in size, Emperor Xu Zhengyuan of Wei is writing something on the desk, and there is no eunuch and palace maid next to him, and it looks like he is really alone.

The footsteps of Gu Juan and Bai Gonggong entering the door woke Xu Zhengyuan up, he raised his head, a majestic and friendly smile immediately appeared on his tired face, and he even stood up from behind the desk and stepped forward to greet him.

"Gu Aiqing is here, sit down, Father-in-law Bai, serve tea. ”

He had been looking at Gu Juan with some kind of complicated eyes, and it was not until he sat down that he withdrew his gaze a little abruptly, took the tea handed by Bai Gonggong and drank it all, and slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, "I have been busy since dawn, and I haven't eaten until now, but now when I see Gu Aiqing coming in, I suddenly feel a little hungry." ”

Gu Juan originally thought about what the Great Wei Emperor meant by looking at him like that just now, but when he heard the words, he didn't think about it anymore, but just held the tea and said with a calm smile, "As soon as the minister remembers the last imperial meal he ate in the palace, he feels that his mouth is slippery, and this son wants to dare to beg His Majesty to give him another meal." ”

Xu Zhengyuan was slightly stunned, and then laughed, diluting the haze that had always been between his eyebrows, "Then pass the meal, today you and I will watch the snow and eat wine in this diligent palace, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

Facing the warm invitation of Emperor Xu Zhengyuan of Wei, Gu Juan touched his stomach that seemed to be deflated again, and immediately got up and saluted, "Minister, thank you!"

Xu Zhengyuan waved his hand, "Father-in-law Bai, you go and tell the imperial dining room, let them use more heart, get a big table, don't let Gu Aiqing almost go out hungry like last time, I thought it was my little family, and I was reluctant to let people eat." ”

Bai Gonggong took the order and left, but before going out, he was stopped by Xu Zhengyuan.

"Gu Aiqing likes to eat meat, let them not make it too light. ”

After about a quarter of an hour, a group of eunuchs came in with food boxes, laid out the table with their hands and feet, and retreated lightly, leaving Bai Gonggong alone to serve inside.

Xu Zhengyuan poured a glass of wine, thought about it and put the wine glass down, took an empty bowl from the table, and filled it with a bang.

"In the past, when I was still a prince, I also liked to drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat, especially like to set up a stove on a snowy day, cook wine and enjoy the snow around the side, but after I ascended the throne, the opportunity to drink freely is becoming less and less, and there are endless reviews and twists and turns every day, and there are endless things to discuss, especially in recent years, I have not even slept peacefully, my body is tired, and my heart is even more tired. ”

Gu Juan accompanied him to drink a bowl, and then ate the stewed meat with chopsticks and slowly, put down the chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty has the world in mind, cares about the people of Li, and works hard day and night, but the body is the ...... Well, it's the capital of innovation, so Your Majesty still has to pay attention to proper rest. ”

Xu Zhengyuan had already poured the second bowl of wine at this time, and he also drank it all, "I want to rest, but one thing after another is pressing on my body, and I can't sleep peacefully even if I lie on the bed." ”

"If there is a change in the future, I am very worried...... A few days ago, Gu Aiqing uprooted the alien creatures entrenched in Qianyu Lake for the imperial court, and after Concubine Luo returned to Beijing, she also talked about the danger of that battle, I almost didn't dare to think about it, if the changes in heaven and earth continued, and the wind and snow did not go, so natural disasters and man-made disasters followed, what kind of terrifying scene should it be at that time. ”

Gu Juan was silent for a long time, thinking of the revisit, thinking of Ye Luo, also thinking of the Nine Secluded Land and the Gate of Daqian, and even thinking of the words Xuan, Yu, and Zhou, in the end he could only slowly shake his head and say, "The minister doesn't know how long the change will last, where it will go, and I don't know whether manpower can conquer the sky. ”

Xu Zhengyuan's hand holding the wine bowl stopped in mid-air, and after a long time, he slowly brought it to his mouth and drank it slowly.

He didn't eat a mouthful of food, he had already drunk four or five bowls of wine in a row, his face was already red, but his eyes were bright and scary, and his spirit was abnormally excited.

"Although what Gu Aiqing said is not very good, it is really not true, I also feel powerless about it, it seems that I have done a lot of things in recent years, but in the end I found that all my efforts have been in vain, at most I can only give myself the title of pastemaker, and the more I make up for the omissions, the bigger it gets, and it is about to reach the point where the building will collapse and I can't return to the sky. ”

Xu Zhengyuan suddenly closed his mouth when he said this, even his eyes were closed, a bitter smile appeared on his face that became thicker and thicker, and he paused for a while before continuing, "Gu Aiqing, I ask you a few words, I hope Aiqing can answer truthfully and don't have any worries." ”

Gu Juan put down the dishes and chopsticks and sat up straight, "Your Majesty, please ask, the minister must know everything, and he will say everything." ”
