The emperor brought the princes and ministers to appear on the highest stand. Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun knelt on the ground with their heads lowered, and did not get up until the voice of the servant singing was heard from above.

Gu Jingyun raised his head to look at the highest stand, and immediately saw the old man in the bright yellow dragon robe in the middle.

Seeing that the other party was looking down at his subjects with a smile on his face, Gu Jingyun was slightly disappointed. He was almost sixty years old, how could he still be in such good health?

Gu Jingyun, who yearned for the emperor's death all the time, sighed in disappointment.

Li Baolu continued to stare at the emperor with wide eyes, before whispering into his ear, "The emperor has powder on his face."

Gu Jingyun frowned.

"It's a pity that you can't observe words and expressions at close range, otherwise you can know more."

Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "There will always be a chance."

This was a harmonious Double Ninth feast, the people were happy, the courtiers were happy, and the emperor had safely completed the project of sharing the joy with the people. Not only the imperial guards, but also the government servants and governors of Shuntian Prefecture were greatly relieved.

After watching the emperor enter the palace, he waved his hand and said, "Go to the street to evacuate the people and step up patrols to prevent stampedes."

Then the patrolling yamen found Gu Huaijin and his attendant Changshun who had been knocked unconscious on the ground in an alley.

The yamen servants took out the belt around Gu Huaijin's waist and their complexions changed. This is something nobles can only wear. They frantically carried him to the hospital, and at the same time, they were on guard, lest someone would come and disrupt the Double Ninth Festival.

The emperor has returned to the palace, but there are still many ministers and officials here at Deshengmen, and any accident can kill them.

Li Baolu dragged Gu Jingyun and ran away, sticking out his tongue playfully after mingling with the crowd, and lowered his voice excitedly and asked, "How is it, how does it feel to beat someone?"

Gu Jingyun's eyes sparkled and said: "Excellent!"

Li Baolu breathed a sigh of relief, and lit a candle for Gu Huaijin in her heart.

When she saw Jing Yun thinking of her dead little cousin, she was sad and blamed herself, for fear that he would have a heart attack, and she couldn't take revenge on the Gu family immediately, all she could do was beat up the Gu family, and in all the Gu family... Among people, Gu Huaijin is the one who deserves to be beaten the most.

As soon as the emperor took the princes away, Li Baolu took Gu Jingyun and Shi Wei to leave, deliberately bypassing the exit of Xungui and waiting.

Gu Huaijin didn't like nobles to hang out with each other, he had his own social circle, so when the emperor left, he also left.

He also wants to drink and compose poems with his friends.

Because Deshengmen gathered a large number of people, carriages were not allowed in, so Gu Huaijin could only take Changshun out on foot, and then find his own carriage after going out.

As a result, before the person walked out, Gu Huaijin felt a pain in the back of his neck and lost consciousness.

Li Baolu supported one person with one hand, and led him to the depths of the alley without any change in expression, and the two of them fell to the ground as soon as they let go.

Li Baolu smiled at Gu Jingyun and said, "Beat it."

Gu Jingyun looked at Gu Huaijin struggling, "He's unconscious, so it's not easy to beat him."

Li Baolu thought for a while, then took off Changshun's coat, covered Gu Huaijin's eyes, kicked Gu Huaijin in the stomach, and the person who was still asleep immediately woke up with a cry of pain.

Gu Jingyun couldn't help laughing, but couldn't laugh when he looked down and saw the person on the ground using those pampered hands to remove the clothes from his face.

These hands are very white, slender and moist, with only light calluses around the knuckles, which are left by long-term use of pens.

My uncle's hands used to be like this too, but then there were more and more calluses in his palms. In addition to taking them to the fields to learn about farming and mulberry, uncle had to repair the tools, tables and chairs at home, and the house after it was damaged.

When I was first exiled to Qiongzhou, my uncle didn’t know about these things, so he had to pay someone to repair them, but after a long time, some small things were always bad, so he also hired someone, so my uncle gradually learned to repair them by himself, and his hands became more and more serious. It got thicker and thicker, and it is no longer obvious that it is the hand of a scholar.

There is also my aunt, who not only cooks for the family, but also cleans, does laundry, grows and waters vegetables...

The smile on Gu Jingyun's face disappeared, and he stretched out his foot to step on the hand that was pulling his clothes. Even because the hand was on his face, Gu Jingyun even stepped on his face.

Li Baolu blinked, seeing that Gu Huaijin was about to hug Gu Jingyun's leg with the other hand, and with a movement of his hand, a stone hit his wrist...

Gu Huaijin only felt a pain in her wrist, and she lost all feeling in her hand.

"Who are you, do you know who I am? Attacking the court order is woo woo woo..."

Li Baolu took off Chang Shun's socks and stuffed them into his mouth, the noise stopped immediately.

The soles of Gu Jingyun's feet crushed his jade-like hands so hard that Gu Huaijin passed out from the pain.

Ten fingers connected to heart, Gu Jingyun stepped on not only his hands, but also his heart.

Gu Jingyun withdrew his feet, looked at Gu Huaijin quietly for a while, then turned around and went out.

Li Baolu put a kick on Gu Huaijin's waist, and then hurriedly caught up with him. Seeing the patrolling yamen not far away, Li Baolu hurriedly pulled him to run like a boy on the road.

Gu Jingyun vented the anger in his heart, went home with Li Baolu in a very happy mood, and taught her: "This kind of thing must never happen again. We must defeat each other mentally, and the physical torture is only temporary."

"Anyway, as long as you're happy."

"...Well, I'm very happy."

Like two little foxes, the two prepared a sumptuous dinner and secretly had fun, but Zhongyonghou's mansion almost turned upside down.

Master Gu Hou watched his son sober with a livid face, and the first thing he said was, "Have you seen the person who attacked you?"

After the son shook his head, he asked again, "Did you hear the sound?"

Gu Huaijin continued to shake her head.

"How many people are there?"

Gu Huaijin continued to shake her head, "Father, the other party moved very quickly, I just felt a pain in my neck and passed out, and then they kicked me awake..."

"Who have you offended recently?"

Gu Huaijin shook his head blankly, "I've always been on good terms with my colleagues, but recently I've been determined to go abroad, did I offend anyone?"

Gu Houye looked at his hands and said thoughtfully: "There are at least two people on the other side. One person kicked your waist and abdomen, and the other person crushed your hand. The one who stepped on your hand hates you very much. Are you Hanlin, the most important thing is a hand, if your hands are destroyed, your whole body will also be destroyed."

Gu Houye said in an old way: "Forget about the matter of letting go, the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light. I am afraid that you will die as soon as you leave Beijing."

Gu Huaijin's expression changed, "Father, could it be the Qin family?"

Master Gu shook his head, "Qin Xinfang is now in Qiongzhou, not to mention that he doesn't know how to do this kind of thing. If you think about it carefully, who has offended someone recently? Thinking about the younger side, he can attack and crush you A person's age must not be much older."

Older people are used to hitting him in other ways, there is no need to be so childish.

And it was precisely because the other party was full of hatred and the young Master Gu was worried.

Young people are always more impulsive, in the capital he can still guarantee Gu Huaijin's life, if he leaves the capital, the other party will get excited...

Although Gu Houye didn't like the second child, he was also his son, and he didn't want him to die.

The two children didn't know that their venting their anger directly cut off Gu Huaijin's last chance to succeed, and they were packing their bags and preparing to leave.

Li An regretfully asked them to stay, "The township examination will not be until next autumn, you can wait until next summer before going south, why bother?"

"My aunt is about to give birth, so I'm going back to my hometown this time mainly to see my aunt and the newborn child."

Gu Jingyun originally planned to stay outside for three years and return to his hometown after winning the first prize in the examination, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Aunt Qin was pregnant, and Gu Jingyun was injured before and could not return immediately. , the next stay in the capital is just to study and manage the relationship with the Prince's Mansion.

But none of this is as important as seeing aunts and newborns.

That's why Gu Jingyun wanted to go home. Of course, before that, he and Li An asked for two carrier pigeons, saying that they could keep in touch with each other.

Knowing that Gu Jingyun was going back to his hometown, Shi Wei and Zheng Xu also came to see him off, and they were all surprised to see the grandson who also came to see him off.

They have all met the grandson, but they did not expect that Gu Jingyun could also know the grandson.

Li An nodded slightly to the two of them, took out a box from his subordinate and handed it to Gu Jingyun, saying: "This is the deed of the yard you live in. If you go to Beijing in the future, there will be a place to stay. I will send someone to give you the flowers and plants in the yard." Take care of."

Gu Jingyun felt warm in his heart, nodded and smiled at Li An: "Thank you!"

Gu Jingyun looked at Shi Wei and Zheng Xu again, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Shi and Brother Zheng don't need to send them away anymore, we will meet later."

"There will be a time later." Zheng Xu and Shi Wei winked at him, and whispered: "Brother Gu, you really don't show your face."

Gu Jingyun knew that they were talking about knowing Li An, so he just smiled and did not explain.

Li An not only gave them a house, but also a carriage. If Li Baolu hadn't insisted, he would have given them a coachman and some guards.

Gu Jingyun stepped on a small stool to get into the car, Li Baolu sat on the shaft of the car, waved at the crowd, and left with a flick of the rein.

It's not that they didn't come back, they came back a year later.

Compared with the frightening and frightening journey to Beijing, they will be much happier going south this time.

Although the young couple hurried home and sometimes had to sleep outdoors, they were very particular about eating, and there were fewer outsiders and no need to hide, so Li Baolu's many skills came into play.

When sleeping in the wild, she can not only hunt, but also find wild vegetables with high nutritional value. When passing by the village, she can also buy some vegetables, fruits and meat with the villagers. After the 20-day journey, Gu Jingyun not only did not lose weight, but also faintly gained some weight .

Li Baolu was very pleased.

Gu Jingyun counted the time of Aunt Qin's delivery with his fingers, "If it's a full-term delivery, we might still be able to catch up. You should be faster."

"You can enter Guangzhou in the evening, but you may not be able to find a boat to enter Qiongzhou."

Gu Jingyun felt a little urgent in his heart, he didn't know if he sensed something happened or it was purely eager to return home, he just wanted to go home quickly.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's go to shopkeeper He of Baolai, he must have a solution."
