The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

On the third day after Gu Jiao, Mu Chuan and others drank, Mu's parents took the blame and resigned from office. It is said that the people under him committed a murder case. played.

Shangguan Yan agreed.

In addition, there was a flood in the south, and the Mu family donated five million taels of silver to relieve the victims.

This is the bottom line.

The Mu family didn't have that much cash on hand, so they could only use farms, shops, and the family's major properties to pay for it.

Donation has a good reputation, but in fact it is no different from copying one's home.

Mu Chuan sat in his room, while the guards came and went to move the valuables in the room.

"Hey! This one can't be moved!" His servant stopped a guard, looked at the cloisonné enamel vase in his hand, and said, "It's the young master's birthday gift! The young master likes to use it to raise small fish!"

That was a childhood memory.

Mu Chuan was mischievous and couldn't stay idle at home. Either he knocked over this vase or damaged that porcelain. Later, the old man of the Mu family got an expensive strangled enamel vase from somewhere.

It was supposed to be arranging flowers, but Mu Chuan had an idea and caught two small fish and raised them.

"Let them take it away." Mu Chuan said lightly.

"But young master..." The boy said in a heartbroken way, "They emptied out the house, at least I will leave you a vase to remember..."

Mu Chuan said in a low voice: "No, I don't want to think about it, that's all, it's good."

The guards took the vase away, and Mu Chuan's gold-encrusted jade belt in the closet was also taken away, leaving behind all worthless clothes.

"Master..." The boy looked at Mu Chuan choked with sobs.

Mu Chuan was originally the most restless temper, but when something like this happened, he was calmer than anyone in the family.

He stood up slowly, and walked out of the house he had lived in for twenty years with a blank expression.

As he crossed the threshold, he turned his head, took one last look, and said a silent farewell.

...

What the Mu family did to the Xuanyuan family back then was no less serious than the Han family and Nangong family.

It's just that they didn't plot against them on the battlefield, but when the Xuanyuan family fell into trouble and framed them, the Mu family was not merciful.

Shangguan Yan will not be soft on the Mu family.

The Mu family sat in a dilapidated carriage and left the inner city silently one morning before dawn.

The servants in the family were dismissed, and only a few old slaves who were really unwilling to leave were left to have children with the family.

More than 30 people moved to an old house in the outer city. This is Mrs. Mu's dowry, and it is the only asset that has not been "handed over".

Accustomed to rich clothes and good food, once reduced to civilians, the family members cried a lot.

Mrs. Mu fell ill on a stormy night, and Mu Chuan braved the heavy rain to seek medical treatment everywhere.

However, when they heard that they were treating the Mu family, no doctor dared to come to the door.

Everyone knows how the Mu family "revealed" the Xuanyuan family back then. Now that the Xuanyuan family has been wronged and the Empress ascends the throne, the Mu family's power is gone. Anyone who dares to help the Mu family will have trouble with His Majesty and the Xuanyuan family.

On a night of heavy rain, Mu Chuan finally felt the despair of ransacking his family and exterminating his family.

He dragged his exhausted body and stumbled back to the old house like a walking corpse.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard a familiar call from behind.

"Mu Chuan."

He turned his head, and the heavy rain wet his eyes, blurring his vision.

But he still clearly saw Gu Jiao in a long Tsing Yi dress, holding an oil-paper umbrella and carrying a small medicine box, slowly walking towards her.

The heavy rain was cold, and when it fell into his eyes, it became extremely hot when it flowed out again.

His throat was swollen and sore.

Gu Jiao treated Mrs. Mu's illness, left enough medicine, and told Mrs. Mu to rest well and not to work hard in the near future.

After she left, Mrs. Mu handed over a brocade box to Mu Chuan: "It was the second concubine who asked me to hand it over to you."

Mu Chuan was startled: "She... told you her identity?"

Mrs. Mu smiled weakly: "Yes, I really didn't expect that she is actually the brave little commander of the Black Wind Battalion, a woman who doesn't give way to a man."

Mrs. Mu is a smart person, she said emotionally, "She is not only the concubine, but also the general of Heifengqi, she came to our house openly, and she is telling the world that Your Majesty and the Xuanyuan family did not kill our Mu family. In the future, if those people want to show us embarrassment again, they have to weigh it."

Mu Chuan nodded, and opened the brocade box with trembling hands.

Inside were a stack of banknotes, a letter of recommendation for a scientific examination from the National Teacher Hall, and a note left by Gu Jiao.

"Mu Chuan, don't give up."

Tears welled up in Mu Chuan's eyes——

...

Gu Jiao also went to the Chess Club during her time in Shengdu. It is a pity that Mr. Meng, the chess sage of the Six Kingdoms, has stayed in his hometown since he returned to Zhao to persuade him to make peace. He has not come to Yan so far. .

Gu Jiao guessed that the old man might pretend to be a beggar again and go to various countries to search for Go talents, as long as the old man is happy, he doesn't have to stay at home according to the secular impression to enjoy his life.

At the beginning of August, Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng went to Dark Night Island, the twins stayed in the palace, and Xiao Jingkong also stayed in Shengdu, Xuanyuanqi very much hoped to spend more time with him.

Dark Night Island seldom interacts with the outside world, so Gu Jiao couldn't bring too many people with her, so she only brought Chen and a few experts from the Shadow Department.

"How can this manpower be enough?" Shangguan Yan said, "I'll send you another team."

She sent Feng Wuxiu, the head of the Feng family.

Outside the palace, Feng Wuxiu held a pack of fried fruits, gnawed on one, and handed the rest to Gu Jiao: "Do you want to eat?"

Gu Jiao: "..."

The younger brother was going to Dark Night Island, and Daoist Qingfeng, who was worried about his safety, had to follow secretly.

Liao Chen, who thought that going to Dark Night Island would be able to avoid someone's pursuit, had another tragedy.

...

This time it was not a march to fight a war, and there was no need to travel day and night. It took a group of people a month and a half to reach Pucheng.

Settled in Pucheng for two nights, talked about the old days with General Chang Wei, temporarily entrusted the Black Wind King to General Chang Wei's care, and set off from Pucheng again in the early morning of the third day.

Three days later, they left the northernmost border of Yan Kingdom and set foot on the ice field to Dark Night Island.

"Chang Jing, where did the direwolves stay?" Gu Jiao searched for the map in her purse, "I lost the map."

"It doesn't matter, I know where it is." Xiao Heng said.

"How do you know?" Gu Jiao asked.

"I've seen the map." Xiao Heng said.

Gu Jiao nodded: "Oh, then you lead the way, Daoist Qingfeng, you can come here too."

The three of them went nearby to look for the snowmobile and direwolf on Dark Night Island. Feng Wuxiu was wrapped in thick leather and squatted in front of an ice hole, looking at the gurgling ice water below, swallowing hard.

Liao Chen glanced at him with a half-smile: "What are you looking at?"

Feng Wuxiu said greedily: "There are a lot of fish down there, I don't know if it's delicious or not."

...

The direwolves of Dark Night Isle are free-range on the ice sheet. Because they have been trained, they usually don't run too far except for hunting. They will rush over as soon as they hear the familiar whistle.

Gu Jiao took out the whistle that Chang Jing gave her and blew it.

She blinked: "Huh? No response."

The decibel of this whistle exceeds the limit of human hearing, and only wolves can hear it.

If the whistle was broken, they, as humans, would not be able to detect it.

Gu Jiao blew again.

This time around, there was still no response.

"I'll try." Xiao Heng said.

Gu Jiao handed him the whistle, Xiao Heng blew it rhythmically a few times, and not long after, a direwolf appeared.

Immediately afterwards, two, three... More and more direwolves ran towards Xiao Heng.

The cold wind howled, and he stood on the vast ice field, as if he had merged with the ice field, his eyes were cold, and he had a strange and powerful aura in his whole body.

Gu Jiao tilted her head and looked at him.

Well, my husband is so handsome.

Today is another day when my husband arrives.

There are twenty-one direwolves in total, including a little wolf king.

The little wolf king is very fierce, especially when facing a group of strangers who don't have the aura of Dark Night Island.

It bared its teeth and began to show its aggressiveness.

Xiao Heng didn't show any fear, he stepped forward boldly, knelt down on one knee, raised his slender jade hand, and gently pressed the little wolf king's head.

A miracle happened, and the little wolf king's ferociousness instantly subsided.

Gu Jiao was surprised: "You know how to tame wolves?"

Xiao Heng said: "Chang Jing taught."

The little wolf king took the lead in digging the hole and opened a bunker. He rushed in with the direwolf and dragged the snowmobile inside.

Gu Jiao's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Isn't this a sled? The godfather must have taught the people of Dark Night Island to make it!"

Hearing the godfather, Xiao Heng's face turned black.

It's that man again!

When the three returned to their original place by sled, Liao Chen and Feng Wuxiu sat cross-legged in the snow and grilled fish.

Feng Wuxiu grabbed a fish that was skewered on a stick, blew the hot air on it, and opened his mouth to take a bite: "Oh, it smells so good!"
