The young lady led Guo Xin through two doorways and then walked through a long corridor. After a short distance, they had already entered the inner residence of Duke Qi's mansion. Guo Xin followed his mother around a rockery at the end of the corridor, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear: the sparkling moonlight was floating on the open surface of the pool. The water in the pool after the rain was almost overflowing, and the moonlight was about to overflow from the edge of the pool. Come to normal.
"You didn't lie to me, this is indeed a good place to admire the moon."
The young lady stopped and glared at Guo Xin, then pointed to the waterside pavilion by the pool: "General Guo, that's the beautiful moon over there."
Following the direction of the girl's finger, there was only a woman's back in the waterside pavilion. Guo Xin only took one look and knew what "Meiyue" was pointing to. Of course, Meiyue is a human being, not a moon. The only thing that is the same is the moon-white long dress.
When they arrived in front of the waterside pavilion, they heard the sound of footsteps and the moon-white figure turned around immediately.
He has an extremely cold face under the moonlight, his eyes are clear and energetic, and his facial features are straight and delicate. Although his figure is not visible due to his long clothes, his tall figure can still be seen from his upright posture. It's just a pity that such a perfect beauty doesn't have any extra expression on her face at this moment, just like there is no extra color on her moon-white dress... People are always impressed by beauties, and Beauty in the Moon is none other than Guo Guo He wrote about the lady of the Fu family named Jin Lu whom he noticed at the palace banquet that day.
Previously, he was just watching from a distance in the palace, but now that the two of them were only a few steps away, Guo Xin's feeling was completely different! The most important thing is that Fu Jinlu exudes a dignified and solemn aura. Even the equally beautiful pavilions and moonlit pools around her can only serve as the background behind her and cannot hinder her in the slightest. Become the most attractive center in this vast world.
Guo Xinxin had a strange feeling - it was as if such beauty was born to be enshrined in a palace or a temple, and to be looked up to by ordinary beings.
"I invite General Guo to come here rashly. Please forgive me for being disrespectful."
The red lips parted slightly, and the tone of voice was soft and soothing, revealing a calm and unhurried calmness, and also implying some kind of irresistible power. It has to be said that only a wealthy family like the Fu family can cultivate such a woman.
It wasn't until he coughed softly and saw Fu Jinlu's face that he seemed to be sullen that Guo Xin suddenly realized that it was probably a very rude move for him to just stare at others without speaking.
Thinking of this, Guo Xin pretended to be very surprised: "It's a blessing for me to be able to see Beauty. But I don't know who she is? Why are you looking for me?"
Fu Jinlu's expression was half-smiling, with a hint of joking in his tone: "General Guo really can't guess who I am?"
Guo Xin looked around at the surrounding rockery pavilions and then set his sights on Fu Jinlu: "It is rumored that the Duke of Qi intends to marry his eldest daughter Fu Jinlu to the Li family in Hezhong. This visit to the court is a rare meeting among the towns. Chances are, my wife must be the eldest sister of the Fu family in the rumors."
Fu Jinlu nodded slightly: "General Guo is very well-informed, but the rumors are just rumors after all, and there are many falsehoods - it is not that his father intended to marry Li Shouzhen, but that Li Shouzhen was afraid after the late emperor killed Du Chongwei, secretly Recruiting troops, buying horses, and accumulating food and grass. At the same time, Guanglian and the four generals are in charge, especially to please my family. I intend to go east and west to form a mutual guarantee and hold the imperial court hostage."
Guo Xin did not expect that the two would suddenly talk about these secrets when they first met. In addition, the scene in front of him seemed very abrupt no matter how he looked at it. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why did you tell me this?"
"This is why I'm looking for General Guo. General Guo might as well take a guess?"
Guo Xin thought for a while and said in deep thought: "I am just a young general in the Forbidden Army. I am in a low position. It is difficult for me to have anything to do with the important events in the outer town. I am afraid that what the lady said is not for me, but to use me to spread the word to my father. , let the prime ministers and ministers prevent Hezhong from becoming too powerful and obstructing the marriage between the Li family and the Fu family. But the lady did not come to see me in front of the hall during the day, but chose to see me here and now. It can be seen that the lady is not doing it for the Fu family, but for herself. Come..." As he spoke, Guo Xin turned his eyes to the young lady in green standing beside Fu Jinlu: "When we were in the guest house, you must have been testing me?"
Fu Jinlu nodded: "Indeed, it is said that General Guo once competed for a leading actor when he was in Taiyuan, and he did not hesitate to have a grudge with the current Queen's brother. Outsiders will inevitably think that General Guo is a lecher... If that is the case, I will not meet Guo General."
Guo Xin's eyes looked up and down at Fu Jinlu. With the beauty of the woman in front of him, it would be a lie to say that he really had no thoughts. He said jokingly: "Even if Guo is a lustful person, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to confront Qi Guo." The eldest daughter takes action."
"This is not necessarily the case. If General Guo stays in Tokyo for a long time, he will know that this place has never been a peaceful place, and there is no shortage of daring people..." Fu Jinlu lowered his eyes, as if he was stuck in the past. Memories, "So what if I am the eldest daughter of Duke Qi? What can protect me is never my noble status, but my brother and the tooth soldiers in this house."
Guo Xin paused for a moment, looked at Fu Jinlu and said, "No matter what, Jinlu doesn't want to go to the river?"
The girl in green who had been silent all this time immediately looked at Guo Xin angrily with wide eyes when she heard this: "What a rude bastard!"
"Bitao," Fu Jinlu shook his head slightly, "Since elder brother and General Guo are considered brothers, it's okay for General Guo... Guo Lang to call me Jinlu."
The girl called Bi Tao stopped talking and retreated to Fu Jinlu's side, still staring at Guo Xin unhappily.
Fu Jinlu continued: "But what Guo Lang said before was only half correct. I see Guo Lang doing it for himself, but also for the Fu family."
"Oh?" Guo Xin uttered a syllable and waited for Fu Jinlu to continue.
Fu Jinlu did not continue the topic, with a hint of sadness on his face. He stared at Guo Xin with a pair of bright eyes: "Guo Lang should have known who Li Chongxun was on the court that day. This pair of Guo Lang It's just a matter of words, I thought Guo Lang would be willing to help me."
Guo Xin nodded superficially, but did not easily sympathize - after all, he was not an immature child. He knew that the more beautiful women were, the better they were at using their looks to confuse men to achieve their goals, so he tried to say: "Jin Lu said that Hezhong Mansion had an affair with Qi Is there any evidence that the Duke is holding the imperial court hostage?"
Fu Jinlu seemed to have been prepared for this. Bi Tao, the maid beside him, quickly took out a letter and handed it to Guo Xin: "This is a secret letter sent by Li Shouzhen to my father in Yanzhou when the late emperor conquered Du Chongwei last year. Guo Lang It contained everything you wanted. At that time, Guo Lang said that someone had slipped this secret message into the crack of the door when he was staying overnight at the Duke of Qi's mansion."
Since the so-called secret letter has been prepared, there is no need to check it at this time... Moreover, if Yang Bin and others really intend to interfere in this matter, the authenticity of the secret letter is not the key. Guo Xin put the letter in his chest without even looking at it: "Although I have a grudge against Li Chongxun, it would be difficult for Jin Lu to change this matter with just one word from me and a secret letter."
"Please also ask Guo Lang to give me some advice."
"The imperial court listened to Hou Yi's words and wanted to accuse Wang Jingchong. However, Wang Jingchong now has a heavy army and is far away from the border. He will not be captured without mercy. He may even collude with Western Shu to resist the imperial court, which is very likely to cause another military disaster. Li Shouzhen guards the river. , the imperial court still needs him to maintain the status quo of Northwest and Kansai. If this is not the case, then if Li Chongxun does not give face to the officials and the civil and military officials of the Tokyo Manchu Dynasty in the stadium, how can he be okay these days?"
Fu Jinlu frowned slightly, his face showing a tangled look.
"The golden strands are in my boudoir. Naturally, I am not as clear about these things as I am. It is very likely that this matter will be in vain." As he said this, Guo Xin suddenly changed the subject: "But I am still willing to give it a try."
This made Fu Jinlu very surprised: "Why?"
Guo Xin's expression suddenly became serious: "I'm not doing it for the golden thread, but for myself."
