The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 655: Wealth-obsessed! (two more)

This reason made Mu Qingchen unable to refute.

Throwing out a big bag is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

Mu Qingchen asked: "Since you know he is General Nangong, you still dare to throw stones at him."

Gu Jiao said: "Is the general amazing?"

"you……"

Mu Qingchen sighed.

It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

At the beginning, the military power of the Xuanyuan family was divided into four, and the Nangong family took the majority. Don't look at the fact that the Nangong family has not been among the top ten families in Shengdu, but that's just because of the background. In terms of military power, the Nangong family has already surpassed it. Jue Chen.

Thinking of something, Mu Qingchen asked again: "Speaking of which, how did you know that he is General Nangong?"

Gu Jiao said: "I didn't know it at first, but I heard him talking to someone. He said that his son fell off a horse and was injured during the jury match. I guessed it."

Mu Qingchen no longer doubted anything.

Gu Jiao felt very regretful. When she came out to compete, she didn't bring a weapon, and she didn't bring a hidden weapon. If there were black fire beads, she would blow Nangong Li into a pig's head.

Mu Qingchen turned her head and saw Gu Jiao frowning, looking like she wasn't doing well, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

The driver who was sent away by Mu Qingchen came back with a bunch of candied haws in his hand.

"My lord, there are no delicious snacks around here, so I only bought candied haws." The driver handed the candied haws to Mu Qingchen.

Mu Qingchen didn't really want to eat candied haws. In his opinion, candied haws are only something that girls and children love to eat.

He was going to let the driver take it away, but suddenly thought of something, and handed the candied haws to Gu Jiao: "Here."

"Oh, thank you." Gu Jiao did not refuse.

On the way back to the inn, Gu Jiao unceremoniously ate the bunch of candied haws, to prevent Nangong Li's retaliation, she did not take off her women's clothing, but took off her veil.

Mu Qingchen looked out the window on the other side, occasionally looking back at her inadvertently.

Hang Chi Hang Chi eating candied haws is somewhat similar to Su Xue.

Mu Qingchen frowned.

What was he thinking about?

Xiao Liulang is a man.

...

Both Gu Jiao and Mu Qingchen fled through the window. At that time, the small vendors downstairs hadn't come yet. At this time, there was a long queue.

They had to go back to the inn through the main entrance.

Wu Fuzi looked at the two people coming from the stairs, his eyeballs almost fell off!

When did you two go out?

I am so lonely here!

Wu Fuzi frowned: "What are you doing!"

Gu Jiao: "That's right, let's go shopping."

Master Wu clenched his fists and looked at Mu Qingchen coldly: "What about you!"

Mu Qingchen glanced at Gu Jiao: "Just, let's go shopping with him."

Master Wu was so angry that he fell backwards!

As expected of a freshman who had been recorded twice within ten days, he ran around as soon as he came, and even brought down an excellent student like Mu Qingchen!

The match is imminent, and penalty is impossible, Master Wu secretly wrote down this account: "If you can't win tomorrow, I will double the penalty when you go back to the academy!"

The two went back to their rooms.

Mu Qingchen planned to take a rest, but it was difficult to fall asleep when he thought about what happened just now. He always felt that Xiao Liulang still had something to hide from him. This feeling was very strange, as if he had fallen into a fog. Walk.

Mu Qingchen decided to ask this classmate again.

Master Wu stood guard at the door.

Master Wu would not stop him from visiting the door openly, but for some reason, Mu Qingchen chose to open the window, and he couldn't explain it himself.

He hooked the window lattice with one hand, turned over neatly onto the roof, walked past Mu Chuan's room, and jumped in from Gu Jiao's window.

But where is Gu Jiao still in the room?

That's right, Gu Jiao went out again.

It is impossible for her to stay in the room honestly, not even in this life.

Only this time, Gu Jiao walked more carefully than the first time, even Mu Qingchen who was so vigilant was not alarmed.

Mu Qingchen frowned.

What happened to the sudden feeling of displeasure?

Gu Jiao also used the same method, climbing up the roof from the window, flying over the eaves and jumping down the alley.

She returned to the neighborhood of the pawn shop.

Nangong Li's guards had already left, and the pawnshop returned to its former desertedness, with only a few pedestrians passing by occasionally, and not many people went in to inquire.

But Gu Jiao's focus is not on this pawn shop, but on the embroidery building opposite.

The carriage is gone.

Gu Jiao tilted her head slightly, but still walked towards the opposite side.

She took off the courtyard uniform of Tianqiong Academy, and wore a night suit that was convenient for concealment.

Just when she came to the gate of Xiulou, a carriage suddenly drove over and stopped beside her.

The people in the carriage didn't speak, but the curtain was blown up by the night wind, and the familiar breath drifted over slowly, Gu Jiao almost jumped into the carriage without thinking.

There were one big and one small sitting in the car, and the lights were not turned on. The little one was so sleepy that he fell asleep in someone's arms, but the adults were full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue.

Gu Jiao sat down beside him: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Xiao Heng slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "Then what about you? Why are you back again?"

Wait for you.

looking for you.

One didn't know that she would come back, and the other didn't know that he hadn't left, but they still came here by coincidence.

"Did Nangong Li see you?" Gu Jiao asked.

"No." When Gu Jiao hit Nangong Li with a stone, Xiao Heng sensed that something was wrong. He didn't look back, and quickly walked into the shop holding Xiao Qingkong's hand.

He didn't actually see Gu Jiao, but only saw Nangong Li, but he also knew that no one but Gu Jiao would divert Nangong Li's gaze away.

"Are you injured?" Xiao Heng asked.

"No." Gu Jiao said, "They didn't catch me."

Taking advantage of the thin moonlight and the candlelight projected from the street, Xiao Heng looked Gu Jiao up and down, spread her palm, and slid her fingertips gently to see if she had hidden wounds.

After making sure it was all right, he hummed.

Then, without pulling his hand back, he held Gu Jiao's little hand like that, stroked her palm soothingly with his fingertips.

My daughter's hands are always soft, small and slender, and he can completely cover them with one big palm.

Gu Jiao looked at the hand held by him, feeling the intimacy he inadvertently revealed.

She knew what happened to her, it was a pair of hands covered in blood, they dug over the bones of corpses, and took people's heads.

His hands were clean, so clean that Gu Jiao didn't even want to get a speck of dust on them.

At this moment, this clean hand tightly clasped hers, as if... trying to drag her out of the sea of ​​blood.

"Jiaojiao."

The dreamy sound of the small headroom interrupted the brief tranquility in the carriage.

Gu Jiao pulled out the hand held by Xiao Heng, touched Xiao Jingkong's back, found that there was sweat, took out a handkerchief to wipe him, and said to Xiao Heng: "Two things."

Xiao Heng looked at her withdrawn hand, and frowned imperceptibly.

Gu Jiao said: "The people who want your life behind are the Dayan royal family."

"Dayan's royal family?" Xiao Heng was thoughtful.

"Also." Gu Jiao continued, "Chang Jing is the Young Master of the Dark Night Sect."

"It's actually the Young Sect Master of the Dark Night Sect." The news was shocking enough, Xiao Heng always thought that Chang Jing was just an ordinary dark guard.

"Where is the Dark Night Gate?" Gu Jiao had long wanted to ask.

"A killer organization that doesn't belong to any country." Xiao Heng didn't know much about it, he paid more attention to the court affairs, and only occasionally heard people mention it in Jianghu.

After a while, the carriage stopped at the door of the inn where Gu Jiao and the others lived.

In fact, Gu Jiao didn't say where she lived after she got in the car, but if a person really wanted to, he could find out the news about Tianqiong Academy by all means.

So there are so many people in the world who can't do what they want, but they just don't care about what they want.

In the past, it was Gu Jiao who would send Xiao Heng off. When he was in the countryside, he would walk more than a dozen miles to send him to the town to study. After entering Beijing, he would always send him to the Imperial College or Imperial Academy.

Being sent back by Xiao Heng suddenly, Gu Jiao was not used to it.

She tugged at her little ears: "Then, I'm leaving."

Xiao Heng gently tugged at her sleeve: "Just leave like this?"

Gu Jiao, who can beat a cow to death with a hammer, was grabbed by someone's two slender fingertips, and looked over for no reason: "Huh?"

Xiao Heng raised his head, the moonlight fell on his handsome face, he raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Aren't there two things? What about the other one?"

Gu Jiao said seriously: "The mastermind behind the scenes is the Royal Family of Yan, and Chang Jing's status as the Young Sect Master of the Dark Night Sect are two different things."

Xiao Heng looked at her with a half-smile and said: "These are all news, telling the news can only be counted as one thing."

"Uh..." Can you still be so eloquent?

Xiao Heng's fingertips slipped down her sleeves, pinched her cool fingers, hooked them lightly, and stood up.

The carriage was not that high, so he could only bend over. He held Gu Jiao's hand with one hand, and supported Gu Jiao's side with the other, pressing Gu Jiao weakly.

The aura that belonged exclusively to him enveloped Gu Jiao all at once.

A ray of white moonlight coming through the gap in the curtains slanted on his eyebrows.

In the past, I only thought that Qing Kong was a mascara, but looking at it carefully, it turns out that Xiao Heng is also.

Gu Jiao was dumbfounded again.

Xiao Heng was angry and funny, how much courage he mustered up to make such a shameless move, but she only cared about admiring his face.

Gu Jiao sat on the car seat and looked at him without blinking.

Xiao Heng raised the hand that was playing with her fingertips, pinched her chin lightly, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Did you remember another thing?"

After the voice-changing period was completely over, Xiao Heng's voice became better and better day by day, young, clean, and charming like an adult man.

Gu Jiao's little soul was hooked away.

Xiao Heng laughed softly, and lowered his body: "Gu Jiaojiao, remember, this is the second thing."

After that, he tilted his head slightly and kissed her lips in the carriage.

...

The next day, the people from Tianqiong Academy rode their horses to Lingbo Academy after having breakfast at the inn.

The shooting field was already full of people who came to watch the match, and the seats in the stands were basically reserved.

The difference is that Gu Jiao unexpectedly found a small blue and white area among a large pile of courtyard uniforms.

This is...the students from Tianqiong Academy chased them over to watch their competition?

There were not many people who came, a dozen or twenty, and they seemed particularly weak in the academy group with hundreds of people.

Master Wu was very excited: "It's a student from our academy! Students from our academy are here too!"

After playing so many games, it was the first time that Wu Fuzi had tears in his eyes when he had his own people watching the game.

Zhong Ding and Zhou Tong waved to this side.

Gu Jiao and Mu Qingchen had already rode their horses towards the attic, and Mu Chuan waved to them with great enthusiasm.

Zhao Wei didn't play last time because he had a stomachache, this time he was extra careful.

His shooting skills were superior to Mu Chuan's. When he played, Mu Chuan could only serve as a substitute. Fortunately, Mu Chuan had no objection to this.

Wu Fuzi drew lots and said, "We are in the third match again."

Mu Chuan hurriedly said: "The third game is good, I didn't wake up in the first game, and the subsequent games are too hot!"

Wu Fuzi was deeply convinced: "That's right, the third match is the best match in the morning. We were lucky twice in a row."

Only Gu Jiao frowned in dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong?" Mu Qingchen asked.

"It's nothing." Xiao Heng told her before leaving last night that he was going to check the news this morning.

Mu Qingchen glanced at Gu Jiao, and then his eyes fell on her neck: "Don't you sleep with the mosquito net closed?"

"Yeah." Gu Jiao pulled her collar without changing her face.

Mu Chuan continued to ask Wu Fuzi: "Which academy are we fighting against?"

Master Wu said: "Pingyang Academy."

The last match lasted two days, and Pingyang Academy was on the second day. They didn't see Pingyang Academy's performance, but they still have some strength to make it to the second round.

Seeing Mu Qingchen pursing her thin lips tightly, Gu Jiao asked without saying a word, "What's the matter? Is this academy difficult to beat?"

Mu Qingchen thought for a while, and said: "Pingyang Academy is a rare academy with both civil and martial arts. Their Jujutsu teacher was once the most powerful Jujube fighter in the royal family, and Xu Ping was taught by him. After he was injured, he couldn't fight anymore. Ju, now I went to the Academy to be my teacher."

After speaking, he paused, and added, "Their overall level is very high, and they cooperate very well."

There is no kicker in Pingyang Academy who can be as outstanding as Xu Ping, but the basic strength of a team is often not determined by the most powerful person, but by the worst person.

Xu Ping was great, but Nan Gonglin and the other three couldn't keep up with his rhythm. Of course he couldn't move three with one move.

Mu Chuan bitterly said: "Fourth brother, I have never heard you praise anyone, you just praised them two times in a row! Do you mean we are going to lose!"

Yuan Xiao said: "Don't make others' ambitions destroy your prestige before you even get on the stage."

Zhao Wei said, "I agree."

Mu Chuan muttered: "Is this a question of agreeing or disagreeing? It's a question of losing badly."

While wrapping a bandage around her wrist, Gu Jiao casually asked, "By the way, will there be any rewards if you win the knockout match?"

"You don't know?" Mu Qingchen looked at her strangely.

"I don't know." No one told her.

Mu Qingchen frowned and looked away: "I thought you were going for the reward. If you get the third place, you can have a piece of inner city talisman of your own; the second place is one thousand taels of gold."

Gu Jiao's bandage-wrapped hands stopped, and Gu Changqing fought desperately at the border, and after returning, the reward given by the Emperor Zhao Kingdom was only one thousand taels of silver.

Is the king of Yan so arrogant?

"What's the reward for the first place?" Gu Jiao asked.

Mu Qingchen said with a bit of awe: "The first place will have the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the monarch."

Gu Jiao entered the battle mode in a second: "How many games do we have until the last game?"

Mu Qingchen was taken aback by her sudden fighting spirit, and said: "Counting today, if you don't lose even one game, there are only three games left."

But who can guarantee that they can fight to the last game?

Dry!

Gu Jiao grabbed the club and walked out boldly!

I have a fever and feel uncomfortable. Please forgive me, Mr. Short.
