The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 402 Dragon Shadow Guard (Part 2)

It was decided that Tang Yueshan and Laohou went to the border together.

One of the two belonged to the Empress Dowager Zhuang's camp, and the other was the emperor's confidant. They used to be at odds with each other, but since they were fooled by the Empress Dowager Zhuang, Tang Yueshan's hatred was well worth it for the fisherman who wanted to fight the snipe and the clam for profit. The black hands behind the scenes sucked away.

Empress Dowager Zhuang told Tang Yueshan that the man behind the scenes was Concubine Jing. Although Concubine Jing was dead, she had accomplices, who were the remnants of the former dynasty hiding in the frontier.

Tang Yueshan tried his best to kill the enemy this time.

Old Hou Ye had no objection to this arrangement, he and Tang Yueshan were one in the dark and the other in the light, with a clear division of labor and non-interference with each other.

Suppressing the rebel party and rescuing Ning'an are imminent, and the emperor hopes that the two will set off as soon as possible.

Coming out of the palace, the old Hou Ye took a carriage back to the mansion, and stopped the carriage when passing by Qinghe Academy, but unfortunately, Qinghe Academy had already finished school, and Gu Yanzao and Gu Xiaoshun had gone to Nanshiniang and Master Lu to learn art.

"Forget it, let's go back to the house." Old Hou Ye waved his hand, paused, thought of something, and said, "Wait, let's go to Taihe Martial Arts Hall."

At this moment, there were many pedestrians on the road, and the road surface was slightly congested. It took a little effort for the coachman to drive the carriage to the front of Taihe Martial Arts Hall.

"Master, the martial arts hall is here." The coachman said.

Old Hou Ye got out of the carriage.

He came to look for Brother Gu, and he was about to leave the capital, he wanted to say goodbye to Brother Gu.

However, after he went in and asked the people inside, he found that Brother Gu hadn't been to the martial arts gym for many days.

"Didn't he play well? Why didn't he come all of a sudden?" Old Hou Ye muttered.

The boy in the martial arts hall said: "This...to be honest, I saw him with a man named Lao He the other day. That old He is a shopkeeper of the underground martial arts field. He always comes here to find experts and poached him There are a lot of them, and the owner of the pavilion made him very angry, but we can't afford to offend the underground martial arts field, so we can only let him go."

Old Hou Ye frowned: "Underground martial arts?"

Today is Gu Jiao's tenth match. She picked her opponent off the ring with a beautiful carbine and won the duel.

Wearing a mask and holding a spear that blinds people's eyes, this young man in Tsing Yi has completely made a name for himself in the underground martial arts arena.

It's hard to tell whether it's because she moves too coquettishly or because she plays too well, or because her red-tasseled spear is too ugly. In short, at first, everyone disliked her, and then Zhenxiang scenes appeared one after another.

Old Hou Ye happened to see Gu Jiao's last scene here.

Played beautifully.

The young man was standing on the ring, his eyes were clear and heroic, as if shining.

A sense of relief from the old grandfather suddenly rose from the bottom of the old Hou Ye's heart, and he didn't know why.

Before stepping off the ring, Gu Jiao received her first exclusive sticker with a big word engraved in her native language, which means that from today onwards, she is a certified first-level expert in the underground martial arts field!

Gu Jiao hung the small card on her small purse, shaking her little head.

happy!

Seeing her shaking her head, a smile unconsciously appeared in the eyes of the old Hou Ye: "Brother Gu!"

He strode over.

Gu Jiao raised her eyes to look at him, and asked him with her eyes, why are you here?

The old master actually understood it. He himself felt miraculous. He smiled and said, "I went to the martial arts hall to find you. They said that you came to the underground martial arts arena. I was a little worried about you at first, but I saw you fight just now, yes I'm overthinking."

It was inconvenient for Gu Jiao to write with the red-tasseled gun, so she handed the red-tasseled gun to him first.

Weapons are the private property of warriors, and people are not allowed to touch them under normal circumstances. Gu Jiao's actions are a testament to her trust in the old master.

But the old Hou Ye was not moved by her trust, on the contrary, his brows were almost wrinkled.

Is this, is this the Divine Soldier of Yan Kingdom that he gave her?

Why is it so ugly?

What the hell did it go through!

Gu Jiao took out a small notebook and wrote, "What do you need from me?"

Old Hou Ye resolutely looked away from the red tasseled gun, he was afraid that he would be blinded if he took another look.

He said: "I'm leaving the capital, and I want to see you before I leave."

Gu Jiao didn't enter the palace today, so she doesn't know about his being sent to the frontier for the time being.

Although they are brothers, she always doesn't like to pry into people's privacy, so she didn't ask him what he did when he left Beijing, but just wrote: "Are you going to go for a long time?"

Old Hou Ye nodded: "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back this year."

The frontier fortress is far away, and it will take some time to investigate the remnants of the previous dynasty and settle Princess Ning'an.

Gu Jiao looked at him, as if waiting for a more specific answer.

He went on to say: "If it's quick, you can come back in the spring, if it's slow, you can come back in a year."

"It's been so long." Gu Jiao wrote, "I treat you to dinner and practice for you!"

Old Hou Ye smiled heartily: "Okay! Coincidentally, I have one last move to teach you. The move you just made in the ring was too hasty. Next time you encounter this situation, just like this..."

The two of them ate this meal for two full hours, mainly due to the old Hou Ye giving advice to Gu Jiao, and Gu Jiao might feel irritable if she listened to it, but listened to it with gusto.

Old Hou Ye felt that he could teach a little more, but unfortunately it was getting late, Brother Gu should go back, and he should start preparing to leave Beijing.

Old Hou Ye didn't let his brother pay for the meal, he went downstairs to settle the bill.

The old man is pretty cute as long as he is not her grandfather, Gu Jiao thought about it, untied the small card at her waist and handed it to him.

Old Hou Ye looked puzzled: "What is this going to do?"

He is asking what this is for, not what it is.

Obviously, he recognizes this token.

Gu Jiao didn't think about it that much, she picked up the small notebook at hand, and wrote: "My first master token, I give it to you!"

Old Hou Ye asked: "Such a precious thing, are you willing to give it to me?"

Only after winning ten games would he have such a token, and it was the first master token in his life. Old Hou Ye knew how much this token meant to him.

Old Hou thought too much.

Gu Jiao felt that she was about to get the token of the second-level master, so this one... it doesn't matter if you give it away.

The main reason is to let her spend money to buy him a gift to practice, she is reluctant.

Old Hou Ye saw that he was sincerely giving it to himself... Isn't it sincere? No need to spend money, the old Hou Ye accepted it kindly.

"It's getting late, let's go back." He smiled and stood up.

Gu Jiao suddenly thought of something, and wrote in the small notebook: "By the way, last time you..."

At this point, she crossed it out and rewrote it: "Your friend last time said that he was going to elope with the girl he likes, why didn't he write anything?"

This was something the old man had brought up with her on his own initiative, and it was not counted as prying into his privacy.

Old Hou Ye's body froze slightly, and in a place where Gu Jiao couldn't see, he squeezed the armrest of the chair with both hands: "I won't elope anymore."

"Why?" Gu Jiao wrote.

Old Hou Ye opened his mouth, looked out of the window and said with difficulty: "...she's gone."

Gu Jiao: Oh.

Gu Jiao didn't ask any further questions.

Gu Jiao didn't take the carriage today, and the old Hou Ye wanted to see her off. Naturally, she couldn't reveal where she lived. She shook her head and refused, expressing that she had other things to do.

Old Hou Ye saw that Gu Jiao didn't seem like a person who didn't have any sense of propriety, so he got on the carriage and left after a few words of advice.

In the first ten days of August, Tang Yueshan went to the frontier by order. The nominal reason was to serve as an imperial envoy to confer the title of Princess Ning'an of the first-rank Zhenguo and the consort of the first-rank Marquis of Wu'an.

His Majesty also asked Tang Yueshan to bring a lot of rewards and supplies for the frontier for the winter.

In fact, rewards and materials are second, and the army that escorts them is the key point.

Old Hou Ye mixed in the team anonymously and accompanied him as an aide in the Tangyue Mountain Mansion.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Jiao went to the underground martial arts field again.

She is now a first-level master, and can fight against people two levels higher than herself. Today, I don't know if I should say that she is lucky. The first person she faced was a third-level Turkic swordsman.

Turkic's physique is extremely strong, and Gu Jiao felt an unusual pressure as soon as he played.

Sure enough, the higher one goes, the stronger the opponent is.

Gu Jiao tested the opponent's strength with her first punch. She was forced back a few steps by the opponent, and a piece of her mouth was inadvertently bitten.

Gu Jiao smiled, interesting.

Next, Gu Jiao planned to make a real move, but before she could make a move, a black figure leaped onto the ring like a ghost, everyone didn't see what was going on, and the Turkic swordsman was kicked by him fly!

The Turkic swordsman fell into the crowd, fell to the ground, vomited blood and fainted on the spot!

"What's going on? Who's making trouble!"

Wu Pan, who was beating the gong, hurried forward, trying to knock down the master in black clothes, but was grabbed by the neck by the master and raised high.

Seeing that something was wrong, the masters of the martial arts field rushed up to surround and kill this person. Gu Jiao was very surprised. Isn't this the Dragon Shadow Guard who was more powerful than the Emperor's Dragon Shadow Guard that she met in the forest that night when she saved her aunt?

Why is he here? And kicked his opponent off the stage?

Didn't he think he was being bullied?

Gu Jiao felt that this speculation was extremely absurd. After all, it was not related to her, so he could not help her, but no matter what, he did not kill herself this time like last time.

Gu Jiao walked to his side, hesitated for a moment, and patted his wrist lightly, signaling him to put him down.

He looked at Gu Jiao, then at Wu Pan who was about to be strangled to death by him, and he actually let him go.

Gu Jiao took out a small notebook and wrote why he came here, but he didn't speak.

Is it illiterate?

Gu Jiao rubbed her chin and looked at him, thinking about how to communicate with him, he turned and walked away.

Gu Jiao: "..."

Are all Dragon Shadow Guards so capricious?

Gu Jiao apologized to Wu Juan, and promised to bear the medical expenses for the Turkic swordsman, as long as he sent him to Miaoshou Hall, then she jumped off the ring and followed the Dragon Shadow Guard.

Long Yingwei came to the house of the pharmacist from the Yan Kingdom, and then guarded there without moving.

Why is he standing there?

Is his master in it?

His master is the pharmacist from Yan State?

Gu Jiao thought for a moment, then boldly walked in front of Long Yingwei.

Long Yingwei didn't drive Gu Jiao away, as if to him, Gu Jiao was just a piece of air, or...something that could exist beside him.

Gu Jiao wants to see who his master is. If the Dragon Shadow Guard is not unique to the Zhao Kingdom royal family, does that mean that she can also buy a Dragon Shadow Guard through some channels?

Thinking so, Gu Jiao raised her hand to knock on the door, but Long Yingwei blocked it with the hilt of her sword.

Can't knock on the door?

Can't... disturb the owner inside?

It seems that the master gave him an order not to disturb anyone.

Then wait.

Gu Jiao crouched outside the door and stood guard.

Literally squatting, she was so bored that she even took out a charcoal pencil and drew circles on the ground.

While she was drawing and drawing, she used too much force and broke the charcoal pencil. A part of the charcoal pencil bounced and hit the mask of the Dragon Shadow Guard.

Don't look at it as just a mask, but that is equivalent to a slap in the face.

Wait, mask?

Gu Jiao touched her face, her mask was still there.

She didn't wear a mask in the woods that day, but today she did, and that day she was wearing a black night gown, today she was wearing a blue one.

Armed like this, how did the Dragon Shadow Guard recognize her?

Gu Jiao tilted her head to look at Longyingwei, do you have special skills in recognizing people?

Long Yingwei was masked and paused for a moment, the way he looked at Gu Jiao changed for a moment.

He touched the mask like Gu Jiao did.

It's over, shouldn't he be angry?

He should not kill me!

It's no wonder that Gu Jiao is so ignorant, it's because the Dragon Shadow Guard in front of him has an unstable temperament, he almost killed her the first time he saw her in the woods, and he even pinched her husband's face!

Gu Jiao can't fight, and it seems that it's too late to run away...

Just as Gu Jiao's brain was running fast, thinking about how to get out, the door behind her creaked open.

On the first day of the new year, ask for a wave of guaranteed monthly tickets, a good start
