Gongsun Yu knew that after the new emperor Gao Yin succeeded to the throne, even though he became emperor, Empress Dowager Lou did not like this young grandson. All the power in the court was with Empress Dowager Lou Zhaojun. In addition, Changshan King Gao Yan and Chang Guang Wang Gaozhan and several other brothers of the late emperor held high positions of power, and Gao Yan also coveted the throne, making Gao Yin's position even more precarious. But he never expected that a beggar would know so much?
Gongsun Yu asked sharply again: "How do you know that Gongsun Mansion is responsible for the emperor's safety this time?" with sharp eyes.
Qi'er looked at him with sharp eyes, a little nervous and hesitating: "I also heard... I analyzed it myself? Why are you so awesome? You have a cold face and can't smile at all. Are you afraid of getting wrinkles when you smile? ah?"
Gongsun Yu pressed hard and asked, "Who did you listen to?"
Qi'er didn't make Gongsun Yu believe what he said just now. He turned his eyes and said, "Do you believe what I said?"
Gongsun Yu said coldly: "Say."
Qi'er bit her lower lip with her upper teeth and thought for a while, then cleared her throat and deliberately made up: "Actually, I had a dream. I dreamed that the Empress Dowager Lou thought that the new emperor was kind-hearted and compassionate, but there were two other things. Several forces were confronting her. The old woman wanted to weaken the forces confronting her. One was Gongsun's Mansion, and the other was Yang Min's Prime Minister's Mansion. Why should Gongsun's Mansion be responsible for the emperor's safety? In fact, it wasn't because of the warriors in Gongsun's Mansion. Too much? This time, by letting the new emperor understand the public sentiment, he actually kills two birds with one stone. First, the emperor can die and a new emperor can be established. Second, it can be justified and said that the Gongsun Mansion is not protecting the master well, and then he can do it. "It means that you can't do it." Understand what will happen to you.
Gongsun Yu looked at Qi'er for a while and saw that her clothes were shabby and her face was greasy, but she had fearless eyes and articulate expressions, so he knew that she was not a real beggar. Thinking of the time when he was the one who spoke loudly about the late emperor Gao Yang on the street, he naturally knew that Qi'er's dream was a lie to him, but it did make sense to listen to Qi'er's words. He deliberately asked: "What good ideas do you have?"
After hearing this, Qi'er smiled and said, "What a good idea I have, I just dreamed of it."
Gongsun Yu had to be careful no matter whether what Qi'er said was true or false. Told Qi'er not to tell this matter.
Qi'er was about to leave when he came back and said to Gongsun Yu: "I have a little plan, but I don't know if I can help?"
Gongsun Yu saw the cunning look on her face and knew that Qi'er must have some bad intentions, so he deliberately asked her to talk.
Qi'er whispered in Gongsun Yu's ear.
After listening to Qi'er's words, Gongsun Yu thought it was feasible. On the one hand, what Qi'er said was true. This would ensure the emperor's safety. On the other hand, if it was not true, nothing would be lost.
Regardless of whether Qi'er's report was true or not, it was still a few days before the new emperor's inspection, and this matter was very serious. Gongsun Yu asked Luan Yue to take Qi'er to stay temporarily in Jingyi Pavilion. He would wait until the new emperor returned to the palace safely before letting Qi'er leave.
Luan Yue looked at Gongsun Yu in disbelief and said tangledly: "Master, he..."
Qi'er thought that entering Jingyi Pavilion was equivalent to entering Gongsun's mansion. She happily thanked Gongsun Yu and waited for Luan Yue to take him to Jingyi Pavilion.
Seeing that Gongsun Yu didn't answer, Luan Yue knew that he had made up his mind. She looked at Qi'er with a little displeasure as she carefully considered each word and said, "Listen carefully, we are just staying temporarily!"
Of course Qi'er heard Luan Yue's dissatisfaction and sneered, "I'm not deaf."
Gongsun Yu then said to Luan Yue: "Let the Secret Council investigate Qi'er's identity. I will get the results tomorrow morning."
Luan Yue didn't dare to neglect and immediately ordered people out.
Early the next morning, Luan Yue reported to Gongsun Yu: "Qi'er bought a house in Yajiao Lane for 300 taels two years ago. He mingled among the beggars, but he was actually trying to get some news."
Gongsun Yu asked coldly: "What news are you asking for?"
Luan Yue suddenly thought of it and said, "This is not confirmed yet, because sometimes her words are weird and others don't know what she is talking about. She has Xiao Yuzhu from Gufengtang beside her."
Gongsun Yu suddenly thought of something and said, "Is the man in black who was your opponent two years ago someone from Qi'er's side?"
Luan Yue seemed to understand, but said: "I'm not sure about this. Xiao Yuzhu disappeared from the world two years ago." After a pause, he continued: "Those who dare to enter Gongsun Mansion are definitely top masters, but the black-clothed If someone escapes with serious injuries, he probably won't survive. Unless he is a top figure. Is she with Qi'er?" Because Xiao Yuzhu is a top expert.
Gongsun Yu asked again: "Where did he come from, and what is his identity other than a beggar?"
Looking at Gongsun Yu who was thoughtful, Luan Yue asked: "Master, do you think Qi'er is not a beggar?"
Gongsun Yu analyzed: "Although the beggar's clothes are in tatters, the clothes are tattered and clean. His face and hands look filthy. If you look closely at the delicate fingers that are not stained with spring water, you can see that he has grown up in rich clothes and good food. Especially he does not With the timid eyes, she and he must have other identities."
"I also think Qi'er is different from the others."
"It shouldn't be Empress Dowager Lou, otherwise he wouldn't have come forward." Gongsun Yu also guessed.
Luan Yue suddenly became speechless and said cautiously: "This hasn't been found yet." Seeing Gongsun Yu raise his eyes to look at her, Luan Yue was so frightened that she immediately explained: "Time is too tight, we went through the information all night and sent out various investigators. , have never been found.”
Gongsun Yu also knew that he was in a hurry. Seeing that Luan Yue was nervous and frightened, he comforted Luan Yue and said, "As long as he is not from the Empress Dowager Lou, I am not afraid of any other bottom line."
Luan Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Living in Gongsun Mansion followed Qi'er's heart. After all, once he entered the mansion, he could find out where Nether Lotus was going.
Jingyi Pavilion was full of disciples of Gongsun Mansion, either literati or knights. Although the disciples were divided into three, six or nine grades, suddenly a low-status beggar came to live with him, which made many people feel unhappy. He looked at Qi'er with raised eyebrows and raised eyebrows all day long, as if he was looking at a mouse with disgust.
Of course, if she offended someone, there would be someone who made things difficult for her. Beggars at that time were naturally low-income people, who were always very careful about what they said and what they did. Only her Qi'er is different, and since she was worn by a modern person, she can naturally cope with it. Fortunately, she is not a real beggar, and her heart is strong enough, otherwise she would die of shame if she was disliked by others.
Qi'er will inevitably have tit-for-tat confrontations with the people in Jingyi Pavilion. But with Qi'er's eloquence, those warriors were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.
Qi'er deliberately entered the Gongsun Mansion and heard Yuzhu say that he had seen Nether Lotus at Yi'anju two years ago. After all, it was two years ago. Now there is no way to find out where the Netherworld Lotus is hidden.
Jingyi Pavilion was about ten yards away from Yi Anju, and she couldn't get out of Jingyi Pavilion. Of course she knew it was Gongsun Yu who ordered this.
Not allowed to move around in Gongsun's mansion, Qi'er secretly climbed over the wall and ran out of the mansion, looking for the place where she was almost buried when she traveled through time. She came here unknowingly with vague memories of holding the Netherworld Lotus in her hand. If I find Nether Lotus, can I go back? How do you know you can't go back if you don't find it, but why do I feel so difficult? Good things are never that easy to find, you have to work hard. He sighed while talking to himself.
"Isn't that Qi'er?" Luan Yue beside Gongsun Yu said.
Gongsun Yu looked and saw that it was really him. Why did he run out? But what does he seem to be looking for?
Gao Zhan was so interested that he said deliberately: "I heard that I live in Jingyi Pavilion in Gongsun Mansion? Not everyone can live in Jingyi Pavilion. What is the difference between this little beggar and other beggars?"
The emperor's uncle, Chang Guang Wang Gao Zhan, has a pair of peach blossom eyes under his curved eyebrows. The corners of his mouth that are often curved look quite handsome with his fair and smooth face. His lazy look makes him look like a laid-back king.
Gongsun Yu looked forward coldly, as if Gao Zhan hadn't spoken to him just now. There was no way to explain it. He could explain why a beggar was different, but he could only be too arrogant to bother with it.
Although Gongsun Yu has many followers, he is indeed a very aloof person, gathering people without cliques and seeking selfish interests. This time, since it was Gao Zhan who invited him, how could he not give face and just ride on horseback with the others? Everyone showed off their skills happily at the hunting ground. On the way back, they happened to meet Qi'er who seemed to be looking for something.
Lou Xiping was the nephew of the Empress Dowager Lou of the current dynasty, and his father was the Grand Sima. Lou Xiping lived a smooth life, and because of his family's strength, he rarely took people seriously, and this time was no exception. He said disdainfully: "What's the difference between beggars? They're all the same. It’s just as despicable.”
"I'm really curious? Want to see what's different between him and other beggars?" Gao Zhan said and tried to ask Gongsun Yu.
Because everyone here knows that Gongsun Yu actually left a beggar in Jingyi Pavilion. Jingyi Pavilion is not a place that one can just enter if he wants to. Wherever they are, they are either literati or martial artists.
Because everyone knows that a cold-blooded person like Gongsun Yu can associate with a lowly beggar? How is he different?
Gongsun Yu glanced sideways at Luan Yue.
Luan Yue understood what she meant, got off her horse, and went over to ask Qi'er, "What are you looking for?"
Qi'er looked back and saw that a group of people were on horseback. Some followers were pushing several carts filled with bloody animal carcasses following closely behind them. She felt that it was a bit cruel and couldn't bear to look at it anymore. She said quietly: "Looking for the treasure."
Luan Yue said deliberately: "What treasure are you looking for?"
Qi'er thought for a while and said, "It is said that there is ginseng here. I want to find a few ginseng to sell for some money and buy some wine."
Lou Xiping mocked: "A poor beggar still drinks? Haha!
Qi'er was very unhappy after hearing this and said: "What's wrong with beggars? Beggars also have pursuits. You are a high-ranking person who goes out with a large group of followers. It's okay for me to find a few ginseng in exchange for some wine money!"
Gao Zhan met Qi'er for the first time, and was a little surprised to see that he and Lou Xiping spoke neither condescendingly nor condescendingly. He leaned forward, put his hands on the horse's head, and asked with interest, "What kind of ginseng is there? If there is one, it's on the mountain!"
Of course Qi'er knew that the mountain was gone, and he just said it deliberately. Seeing Gao Zhan say this, he deliberately said: "That's right, how can I take advantage of it? Forget it, I'll just go and ask for some money to drink!" After that, he left.
Lou Xiping has never been criticized before, and he is a despicable beggar. He raised his eyebrows and said coldly and kindly, "Want to drink? The general is happy today and I can reward you with a few drinks."
Qi'er knew that Lou Xiping was not a good person as soon as he saw his sly look on his face, so he deliberately refused to ask for a drink because he was afraid of disturbing everyone.
No one dared to refuse Lou Xiping, but Lou Xiping actually challenged Qi'er, insisting that Qi'er go to drink, otherwise he would die on the spot. Looking at the riding crop tightly held in Lou Xiping's hand, he knew that he was on the right track.
Qi'er glanced at Lou Xiping, and he didn't look like he was a good person, so he said deliberately: "I know a good place. It's delicious, delicious, and extremely elegant! Shall I take you there?"
Gongsun Yu and others find it strange that you, a little beggar, dare to say in front of the princes and nobles that you know where the food is delicious and elegant?
Gao Zhan suddenly felt new and asked: "What's the best method?"
Lou Xiping scoffed.
Qi'er said, "You'll know after you go there."
Lou Xiping smiled and said: "With his status, I'm afraid he has never even entered the door! I'd better reward you with a bottle of wine when the time comes!"
Qi'er said deliberately: "No reward for no merit, let's make it AA!"
Lou Xiping asked: "What is the AA system?"
Qi'er replied with a smile: "I don't need you to invite me, I will pay whatever it takes!"
After hearing this, Lou Xiping sneered, thinking that you, a despicable beggar, actually paid for it yourself. Let alone, I will see what you do when the time comes.
