The next day, Gu Xiaotian woke up from the ground in a daze, rubbed his head, glanced at the blanket on his body, and threw it aside.
The table had been cleared, leaving only a letter.
Gu Xiaotian rubbed his head and walked to the table, picked it up and took a look. The main idea was that Gu Qingfeng had left, and Xi Shu would have to trouble him with the remaining matters.
Gu Xiaotian smiled knowingly, put the letter away, walked to the water tank, washed his face with water, and walked out.
As soon as he went out, he saw someone walking towards him.
The visitors were Mrs. Sun and Leng Lingfeng.
Gu Xiaotian looked at the two people and probably knew their purpose of coming.
The two came to Gu Xiaotian, exchanged greetings for a while, and then entered the house together.
Seeing the mess in the house and smelling of alcohol, Mrs. Sun couldn't hold back her hands and began to clean up hurriedly.
Gu Xiaotian was a little embarrassed on the side.
Asking the eldest princess to help clean up the room, I am afraid that in the entire Bahuang, he is the only one who has such face.
Gu Xiaotian and Leng Lingfeng watched Madam Sun clean up from the side. After Madam Sun had packed everything, she slowly walked to the table, gently wiped the sweat on the top of her head, and did not forget to cook for Gu Xiaotian. I had a pot of sobering tea and chatted while drinking.
Gu Xiaotian took a sip of tea, looked at Leng Lingfeng, and said reproachfully: "If I didn't have some trust in you, I would probably guard you."
Leng Lingfeng apologized: "I was in a hurry. After finishing those things, the battle started. Please forgive me."
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand, "That's all, at least you deserve my trust, and I won't pursue other matters."
Leng Lingfeng thanked him softly.
Mrs. Sun drank tea silently and suddenly said with emotion: "After so many years in Xishu, there are always times when I think that I am already from Xishu, but whenever I see the waist badge of the Secret Detective Division, I still think Remind yourself that you are a member of the imperial court, and you are still the eldest princess of the dynasty. The most pitiful one is my husband. He is so smart, he should have guessed my identity very early, but he has endured it all these years, and has been... To deceive myself, to be honest, I feel a little sorry for him."
"If I could choose again, I wouldn't necessarily side with the imperial court, but I would think more about Xi Shu."
"In the end, I am not only the eldest princess, but also the daughter-in-law of the Leng family, and even more so his wife. This will not change now or in the future."
Somehow, Mrs. Sun talked a lot more today.
In the past, Mrs. Sun usually gave people a very mysterious feeling, and she always got straight to the point when she spoke, never making any convoluted words.
But today is different.
Gu Xiaotian could see guilt on Mrs. Sun's face.
Are you ashamed of the Leng family, or are you ashamed of your identity by what you said today?
Mrs. Sun looked at Gu Xiaotian and said, "My nephew is indeed the best candidate to be the king. The Secret Intelligence Department will be handed over to him from now on. You must cooperate well with him."
Gu Xiaotian nodded, "That's natural."
Mrs. Sun asked: "There are also the secret guards of the Lu family and Lu Zhi. I think you should know these. What are you going to do?"
Leng Lingfeng gathered some energy on the side and sat up straight.
He had promised Lu's secret guards before that they would do their best to save Lu Zhi's life, and then leave it to Lu Zhi to make his own choice.
But the personal relationship between Leng Lingfeng and Gu Xiaotian was still too shallow after all. In addition, the previous incident almost caused Gu Xiaotian to misunderstand him. He was worried that if he came alone, Gu Xiaotian might not be here. There is a concession on this matter.
Therefore, Leng Lingfeng finally asked Mrs. Sun. When he went to find Mrs. Sun, he did not call her "Commander-in-Chief", but called her "sister-in-law".
He wanted to move her emotionally, show her reason, and ask Mrs. Sun to help him more.
The public is public, and the principle is the principle.
No matter how good a personal relationship is, it is just a personal relationship, but when encountering such a problem, Gu Xiaotian still knows the difference clearly.
Gu Xiaotian also knew what selfish motives Leng Lingfeng hid in this.
Gu Xiaotian did not answer the question first, but asked: "Leng Lingfeng, your mission in the Secret Investigation Department is over, will you return to Kyoto to work in the future?"
Leng Lingfeng hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
Gu Xiaotian said regretfully: "With your ability and your achievements, when you return to Kyoto, you will be appointed as a third-grade official. It is really puzzling to me that you would choose to give up such a good future."
Leng Lingfeng stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Please also ask the temporary commander-in-chief to punish you."
Gu Xiaotian smiled casually, waved his hand and said: "I am just a temporary commander-in-chief. As for your crime, I think it should be decided by Sun Gusheng. But I am very curious, why do you want to stay in Xishu?"
"I remember that you don't have much affection for the Leng family. Among the Leng family, you, the former Third Master Leng, probably had the most difficult life in the Leng family. Why did you still want to keep the Leng family in Xishu in the end? Home?" 33
Gu Xiaotian is very curious about this issue.
Probably because he never felt that Leng Lingfeng, as a member of the Secret Investigation Department, would have too many emotions for the Leng family.
Leng Lingfeng was silent for a moment and said softly: "Probably because my surname is Leng, and the blood of the Leng family still flows in my body."
Gu Xiaotian said oh, looked at Mrs. Sun, and asked: "Mrs. Sun, what do you think?"
Gu Xiaotian had actually considered this issue, but Gu Qingfeng's opinion at the time was that Gu Xiaotian should not make any statement and just kick the ball out.
Doing this seems a little too high-minded, but after all, Gu Xiaotian has no power in the Secret Investigation Department, and he has no right to decide whether the people in the Secret Investigation Department will stay or leave.
Mrs. Sun thought for a while and said bluntly: "Actually, I don't want to go back to Kyoto."
Gu Xiaotian frowned.
What's the meaning?
Could it be that Mrs. Sun really got emotional while staying in Xishu?
Leng Lingfeng at least has the blood of the Leng family as an excuse. What does Mrs. Sun have?
The reason why she married to Xishu in the first place was not for the things in the Secret Investigation Department. Did she really not miss everything in Kyoto?
That's her home.
Mrs. Sun said: "Gu Xiaotian, Xishu has just returned to the right track now, but the war we launched earlier actually made the people here live a bit more miserable than before. In addition, Xishu surrendered to the imperial court in the future. , the restrictions have naturally increased, I can let it go and return to Kyoto to be my eldest princess, but what should the people of Xishu do?"
"They are always from Xishu and will spend their whole lives in Xishu. If I just leave, wouldn't I be a little too heartless?"
Gu Xiaotian said nothing.
Xu Shisun's words touched him a little.
After the war ended, he had been dealing with various things and had almost straightened out everything. He originally thought he was done, but in the end he missed one thing.
That is the future of these people.
Gu Xiaotian was a little ashamed, as if he had forgotten his original intention.
The reason why he came to Xishu in the first place was just for this world.
It was at this time that Mrs. Sun's words brought Gu Xiaotian back to his original intention.
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It is true that there was some negligence, then I will follow Mrs. Sun's wishes."
"So, thank you very much."
Mrs. Sun looked at Leng Lingfeng with a bright smile and said with emotion: "It's time for the people of the Secret Investigation Department to return to the sunshine."
After that, it’s a matter of letting people go.
Gu Xiaotian can make the decision on this matter.
After all, Lu Zhi is now under the control of the Royal Forest Camp, so naturally it is Gu Xiaotian who has the final say on how to deal with this person.
Gu Xiaotian walked to the desk, picked up his pen and wrote down a notice.
To the effect, Lu Zhi was let go and left to Leng Lingfeng to handle.
Handing the paper to Leng Lingfeng, Gu Xiaotian asked curiously, "What if Lu Zhi rebels in the future?"
Leng Lingfeng thought for a while and said, "The only option is to kill him."
Gu Xiaotian laughed loudly, patted Leng Lingfeng on the shoulder and said, "If you need help, please call me anytime."
After Mrs. Sun and Leng Lingfeng left, Gu Xiaotian also packed up and went out, arriving at the Yulin camp.
During this period of time, most of the things have been dealt with, and the remaining finishing work just needs to be looked at one more time.
There were many carriages in front of the Yulin camp.
Gu Xiaotian walked to a carriage and took a look inside. It was all covered with white cloth.
Gu Xiaotian opened the white cloth, and inside were the bodies of the Royal Forest Camp soldiers.
Seeing some soldiers still carrying the corpses, Gu Xiaotian felt a little sad.
At first, a whole battalion of the Yulin camp came to Xishu, but now when they returned, there were less than half of the battalion.
Gu Xiaotian found Yu Huan and asked for a list. Here are the soldiers of the Royal Forest Camp who died in the battle in Xishu.
Gu Xiaotian warned: "Treat the families of these soldiers well. If they have difficulties in Kyoto or elsewhere, no matter what they want, try to satisfy them as much as possible."
Yu Huan's tears welled up in his eyes and he nodded slightly.
At the same time, Wei Chengshan also walked towards Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian quickly saluted and said: "I have to thank Mr. Wei for the matter in Xishu."
Wei Chengshan's arm had been put in a plaster. He looked at Gu Xiaotian and snorted angrily, "I broke an arm for you, and I get a thank you from you kid?"
Gu Xiaotian scratched his head, "Then what else does Mr. Wei want?"
Wei Chengshan said: "I want you kid to stop causing trouble. If you don't have that diamond in the future, you won't get that porcelain job anymore, and you can live your life peacefully."
Gu Xiaotian chuckled, "Then I hope Mr. Wei will forgive me for this, I can't agree."
Looking at Gu Xiaotian's mean smile, Wei Chengshan also laughed, waved his hand and said: "I know your boy is born to cause trouble, that's all. It's almost time for me to go back. I will work hard to improve myself in the future." The head of the family can’t afford to wait for the realm.”
Gu Xiaotian cupped his fists and said, "Remember Mr. Wei's teachings, shall I send Mr. Wei off?"
Wei Chengshan stretched out his hand to stop, and walked slowly and leisurely outside the city without letting Gu Xiaotian see him off.
Xu Ji also came here to say goodbye. He came to Xishu to help. After the matter was completed, he had no reason to stay anymore, so he went to Gu Xiaotian and said goodbye, then returned to Beihuang alone.
Gu Xiaotian walked around the camp and saw Sun Gusheng.
Originally, Gu Xiaotian wanted to go up and chat with Sun Gusheng, but he saw that Sun Gusheng had a solemn expression after reading a letter handed to him by Lao Huang.
Gu Xiaotian slowly walked forward and asked, "What happened?"
Lao Huang frowned and stopped in front of Sun Gusheng, "Ask what you should ask, but don't ask what you shouldn't."
Sun Gusheng patted Lao Huang and said it was okay, and then slowly said: "It's just as I thought, there are people in the court who can't sit still."
Gu Xiaotian frowned.
Sun Gusheng handed the secret letter to Gu Xiaotian.
After reading the letter, Gu Xiaotian's expression became solemn.
Gu Xiaotian asked: "What are your plans next?"
As if his plan had succeeded, Sun Gusheng's mouth curved in an arc.
"Lue the snake out of its hole."
Some people died, but not completely...
