After paying homage to the national teacher in the purple bamboo forest, Gu Jiao first went to the operating room to see the situation of shangguanyan.

Shangguanyan went to sleep. Xiao Heng said she didn't feel any discomfort, but she was a little hungry.

"When my mother wakes up, I can have some porridge." Gu Jiao said and said, "I went to the government house and promised to pick him up at night."

Xiaojingkong and longyi accompany Duke Anguo back to his house.

Xiao Heng raised his hand and trimmed her sideburns: "I'll pick you up later."

"OK." Gu Jiao responded and turned out of the operating room.

"Jiao Jiao." Xiao Heng whispered to her, "are you okay?"

Gu Jiao didn't tell Xiao Heng about the national teacher, but since Gu Jiao could guess, Xiao Heng couldn't be unaware.

Her mood is lighter than ordinary people, but as long as she cares about a person with her heart, even the smallest emotion can't escape her eyes.

Gu Jiao paused at the door, suddenly turned around, came to him and put her forehead against his strong chest.

Every time she was depressed, she would seek comfort in his arms in this way.

Xiao Heng gently grabbed her slender waist and touched her head with the other hand.

In fact, even if Xiao Heng doesn't find out, she can handle her emotions well, but he can always find out and comfort her in time.

Not a word told her not to be sad.

She is also human. She can be sad, sad and not so strong.

Shangguanyan slept all afternoon and finally woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her son and daughter-in-law hugging each other.

She opened her mouth.

Well, she's full.

Dog food is not enough.

Xiao Heng hugged Gu Jiao and comforted her.

Gu Jiao's forehead is still against his warm and tight chest, and a pair of plain hands are pinched around his belt, which is a sign of a better mood.

"I'm awake," she whispered.

Xiao Heng's eyes moved, and his eyelashes trembled.

"I'm leaving." Gu Jiao crooked her lips and turned to leave the operating room, leaving Xiao Heng alone to face the embarrassing scene of bag grabbing.

After going abroad, Gu Jiao rode on the horse of Heifeng king.

In Zhao state, she also rode the black wind king, but the feeling was different.

The familiar streets, the familiar breath and the noise of traffic recall people's infinite memories.

Tianxiang academy, bowing contest, selection of commander of Heifeng riding... It's as vivid as yesterday.

Gu Jiao patted Heifeng Wang's neck and said, "boss, go to the government!"

The black wind king galloped up on the familiar street with Gu Jiao on his back. His aura was too strong and it was easy to startle other horses. He tried to avoid the crowd and take an open alley.

When a man and a horse were halfway there, a broken tile suddenly flew in front of him and was about to hit Gu Jiao. Heifeng Wang turned right and dodged smartly.

Then more and more tiles and even concealed weapons came one after another.

Someone is fighting.

"Where are you going? Today either you die or I die!"

Gu Jiao frowned, and the sound——

"Boss!"

She tightened the reins, her eyes burning.

The black wind king had a tacit understanding with her from the battlefield. It accelerated and galloped forward like lightning.

It was a dilapidated alley. One third of the wall at the end had collapsed, but it was also more than one person high.

Gu Jiao clamped the horse's belly and took off slightly. The black wind king jumped over the wall.

Gu Jiao doesn't have a red tassel, but she has other weapons.

She took off the whip wrapped around her waist, waved it, and beat them with a crackle.

The man in black had the upper hand. He stabbed the veiled woman lying on the ground with a sword. Sooner or later, his wrist holding the sword was suddenly held by a strong force.

He was surprised and turned his head.

The black wind king raised his front hoof and stamped on him!

He tried to pull the owner of the whip from the horse's back. Obviously, he didn't have such strength, so he had to sidestep.

On the surface, she avoided it. However, Gu Jiao pulled her back hand, directly pulled him up and threw him on the heavy wall!

"Ah --"

The man in black suffered severe pain on his chest and back at the same time. He screamed and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Jiao turned over and dismounted. When he was about to get up, she put her foot on his chest and stepped back to the ground mercilessly!

The man in black felt as if his bones were broken, his head was knocked heavily on the ground, and his brain was almost broken.

Gu Jiao ignored his pain and turned to look at the woman on the side: "Nanshi Niang, are you okay?"

That's right. The man in black is the nanshiniang whom I haven't seen for a long time.

When Nanshi Niang heard Gu Jiao's voice, she was stunned and looked at Gu Jiao's face for a long time.

"It's me, nanshiniang." Gu Jiao said.

Nan Shiniang's eyes almost stared out: "Jiao Jiao? Your face..."

"Oh, the birthmark is gone." Gu Jiao said, glancing at the man in black at her feet and asked, "Nanshi Niang, who is he?"

Nan Shiniang stood up holding the wall, patted the dust on her body, and came to Gu Jiao: "people of Tangmen."

Then she moved her fingertips and shot a poison needle, sealing each other's throat.

Gu Jiao took her feet back from the other party and asked Nan Shiniang, "Shiniang, what's the matter? Earlier, you said to stay in Shengdu to deal with some private affairs, which is related to Tangmen?"

Nan Shiniang sighed helplessly: "it's a long story."

Gu Jiao looked around: "where's Lu Shifu?"

Nanshi Niang said, "he has gone to kill another disciple of Tangmen. I have an appointment with him to meet at Liji tea shop."

Gu Jiao knew the tea shop. She took xiaojingkong to eat the snacks in it. It was on Biluo Street three miles away.

She said, "I'll go with Nan Shiniang and wait for Master Lu."

Nanshi Niang asked, "will it delay you?"

"No." Gu Jiao shook her head.

Things have priorities. I believe xiaojingkong won't be angry.

They went to Liji tea shop by Heifeng Wang and asked for a wing room on the second floor.

Gu Jiao opened the window and sat down with Nan Shiniang by the window.

The view here is excellent. They can see the whole street. If Master Lu comes nearby, they can see him at first sight.

Gu Jiao poured a cup of tea for Nan Shiniang.

"By the way, Jiaojiao, how did you come to the state of Yan? And how did your birthmark disappear? I heard that you married aheng, but it's a pity that you didn't go to your wedding. I'm really sorry." nung Nan has too many words to say in her heart. She not only cares about the situation of Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng, but also misses Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan.

"In fact, it's not a birthmark, it's palace sand." Gu Jiao said the Abbot's drunken Oolong accident briefly.

Nanshiniang didn't know what to say after listening.

Later, Gu Jiao explained the current situation of the others. Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun went to school in Qinghe Academy. Gu Chengfeng became a lieutenant in the military camp, but he didn't go to the Academy again and studied martial arts in the future.

Gu Changqing inherited Gu's army and married yuan Baolin.

Xiao Heng was admitted to Shaofu in July last year. At the end of the year, Yuan Shoufu was in poor health and submitted the resignation document. In February this year, Xiao Heng succeeded to the position of Shaofu.

Both my aunt and grandpa are very strong. My grandpa has been reinstated and always goes to the palace to escape.

Gu Xiaobao is two and a half years old. He is a lazy and smart child.

Yao is all right.

"Ah Heng and clearance have also come. Ah Heng is in the Imperial Palace and clearance is in the Anguo government."

Gu Jiao said everything in detail, gently and patiently.

Seeing that everyone was well, Nan Shiniang was very pleased: "it's good, it's good!"

"But Nanshi Niang, what's the situation here?"

"Alas." Nan Shiniang touched her face across the veil. "It's all old grudges. When I left Tangmen, I was deprived of my martial arts and didn't owe to Tangmen. I naively thought Tangmen would not be difficult for me to do what they said. Later, I went to Zhao state and met you, Master Lu."

Speaking of this, she paused and smiled: "you may have guessed that Master Lu is Master Lu of Zhao state. He once received the favor of old Feng. At the beginning, ah Heng came to the door and asked you master Lu to accept Xiaoshun as an apprentice with ah Yan, and he agreed."

Gu Jiao did have this guess about Master Lu's identity, so she didn't feel so surprised when she listened to master Nan's words.

Nan Shiniang recalled: "When I was a child with your Lu Shifu, I was not disfigured. Unfortunately, when I visited the lake, I was favored by the emperor of the state of Zhao. I don't know what the emperor of the state of Zhao thought. Knowing that I was a woman, he invited us both into the palace. He hosted a banquet in the imperial garden and everyone drank some wine. I went to the pavilion to sober up. I didn't want to collide with emperor Xiao After. "

"Later?" Gu Jiao asked.

Nanshi Niang picked up her tea cup and smiled bitterly: "later, we left the table. On the way back, Master Lu and I encountered a wave of pursuit and killing. My face was disfigured at that time. The murderer escaped. I haven't found him for so many years."

Gu Jiao touched her chin: "most people will think that empress Xiao did it."

Nanshi Niang nodded: "yes, Master Lu and I were suspicious at first, but what if we suspected her? She is the queen of Zhao and the sister of Xuanping Hou. We are weak and can't do anything about her."

"Master Lu hates empress Xiao and the emperor of Zhao, the source of the tragedy. If he hadn't coveted my beauty and invited my husband and wife into the palace, I wouldn't have run into empress Xiao. He no longer worked for the imperial court and has remained anonymous ever since."

"Shortly after you set out for the war last year, I met the murderer who once ruined my face again!"
