King of Song

Chapter 286 It was him
At the end of September, the south of the Yangtze River is full of autumn.

There is no northern wind blowing and chilly, but the autumn wind is gradually becoming a bit more bleak!

By the Xuanwu Lake, the leaves danced in the autumn wind, making a rustling sound, and then were blown down, struggling in the wind.After completing the last beautiful dance of vitality, it floated down on the lake.

The lake is clear, reflecting the autumn scenery, the lake and mountains are more charming, and the autumn is intoxicating!

Standing by the lake with his iron mask still on his face, he has no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery!

He rushed from Yingtianfu to Jiangning in a hurry, just to personally confirm a crucial piece of news, a piece of news that he had been pursuing for 20 years.

But when the clues appeared in front of him and he was getting closer to the target, he felt uneasy and didn't even dare to go there himself.Some are similar to the feeling of being more timid near the nostalgia, which cannot be explained clearly.

I could only stand by the Xuanwu Lake and wait, but my mood was still hard to calm down for a long time, and I couldn't tell whether it was anticipation or worry.

After a long time, footsteps finally sounded behind him.

"Sovereign, there is news!"

"En!" The Iron Face Sect Master just responded, seemingly calm, but his heart was already surging, full of expectations, and also extremely nervous.

"Sovereign, according to the clues we have obtained so far, that girl Meng was born in the Meng family in Jiangning. And there is indeed a person in her family, whose characteristics are very similar to the young master's!"

"Really? Who is it?" The Iron-Mask Sect Master was immediately overwhelmed with excitement, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

"His name is Lin Zhao. He was originally a student of the Meng Mansion, but he performed very well. Now he has become an official. He is very favored by Wang Anshi and Zhao Xu. He used to be the magistrate of Qiantang County before. Not long ago, he was sent as a doctor of the Ministry of Rites Hehuang Tubo is now going to Huanqing Road to investigate the case as the young minister of Dali Temple!"

Northwest, it really is Northwest!The conditions have matched many again!
His name is Lin Zhao?

After a little excitement, the Iron Face Sect Master came back to his senses and said in a deep voice, "Is this name familiar?"

"That's right, this person put down the Zhao Shiju Rebellion in Hangzhou, killed Zhao Zongyong and his son, and in Bianjing, he was able to beat Qi Wang Zhao Hao..."

"It was him!"

The iron-faced suzerain immediately recalled that Lin Zhao was such a famous young hero, he had naturally heard of it, so was he the one he was looking for?
He is a young talent, and he has been worrying about his qualifications, but now it seems completely unnecessary, so good.

It's just...just how did he become Zhao Xu's confidant?How can it be? ?
"Is there any other information about Lin Zhao? How old is he? Where is he from? Who else is there in the family?" The iron-faced suzerain couldn't care so much for a while, the first thing to confirm was his identity.

"20 years old, from Zhuozhou, it is said that both parents died when he was young, and he was brought up by his uncle."

20 years old?From Zhuozhou?orphan?The iron-faced suzerain silently recited these words in his heart, feeling more and more consistent.All the signs are getting closer.

"Who is his uncle?"

"A kitchen steward in the Meng Mansion seems to be the head steward now, and his name is Gu Qi. It is said that when Zhuozhou was flooded, he escaped with his nephew and came to Jiangning, where he was taken in by Mrs. Meng. Servant. I married a mute woman, and now I have a son and a daughter. The son is only two or three years old, and the daughter is the girl Gu Yuelun in the meditation nunnery!"

"In this way, the title of cousin is logical!" Sect Master Tie Mian sighed, "Lin Zhao, maybe he is the person we are looking for!"

"Yes, suzerain! My wife's surname is Lin, and the sons of the former master are all congri, Zhao and... have the same pronunciation! Judging from the names, they are very similar!"

"It's true!" Sect Master Tie Mian didn't pay attention at first, but after such a reminder, he immediately reacted.God pity see, is that him?Suddenly, there was a feeling that I couldn't help crying.

"Lei Ting, good job, I will give you credit for finding the young master!"

Jiang Leiting, 32 years old, the number one confidant of the stern suzerain, with outstanding ability, careful and prudent in handling affairs.This time he came to Jiangning to investigate, and in the shortest time, he found so much useful information quietly, which made the iron-faced suzerain couldn't help but praise.

"The suzerain is absurd. These are the duties of the subordinates. As long as you can find the young master, you will be so heartbroken that you will not hesitate!"

"Yeah!" Sect Master Tie Mian nodded and said, "I'll find a way to arrange it. I want to meet this Gu Qi in person. Although I'm sure about [-]-[-]% of it, it's just that he doesn't open his mouth. After all..."

"Yes!"

"Remember to bring the portrait given by your wife. Although it's been 20 years and your appearance has changed a lot, it's more or less a reference!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gu Qi's current life can be said to be carefree!

Now he has become the No. [-] figure in the Meng Mansion. Because of Lin Zhao's relationship, everyone treats him as a master and respects him.

There is no shortage of money and a happy life.I have a pair of sons and daughters under my knees, the daughter is as beautiful as a flower, and the son is smart and cute, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

The only thing that worries him is his nephew Lin Zhao!

Originally, he wanted to let him live a stable life in the Meng family, but this kid seemed to be a different person, and it became more and more serious.At a young age, he has done many earth-shattering events, and the officials have become bigger and bigger.

Gu Qi didn't have much happiness in his heart, and he wasn't proud of it. At first, he was full of worries.After a long time, I gradually got used to it. My nephew is so smart and capable, so he should be able to deal with some troubles.

Some things may be God's will, let nature take its course!
Slowly, Gu Qi's mentality has changed a bit!
Of course, he still misses his nephew all the time!

I didn't see anyone during the New Year last year, and I promised to come back this year, but I heard that he went to the Northwest again.I don't know whether he is okay with adapting to the bitter cold in the northwest?
There is no news to go home, which always makes people miss!
In the afternoon, Gu Qi went out to inspect a few shops. Meng Ruoying was not there, so he needed to worry about some things.After finishing the work, I was going to go home directly, but suddenly remembered that my son and Xiao Yangu were clamoring for Xiaotao.

Then he turned around and went to the market to buy. He was born in poverty, and he didn't have the habit of responding and following.Besides, in broad daylight, the world is bright and clear, and it is very safe.

So, as usual, Gu Qi walked into an alley as usual, and crossed to the river to the market.

Suddenly, someone behind him shouted: "He Wu!"

He five?

It's been a long time since someone yelled like this, and I almost forgot my real name, but I still turned around subconsciously.

After turning around, he suddenly realized that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Who is calling yourself?Know this name?

He knew very well what was hidden behind this name.What does it mean when someone calls the name broken?
Gu Qi was suddenly extremely regretful, and seemed to have made an extremely wrong decision today.

But after thinking about it, he smiled helplessly. What should come will come after all, and he can't escape after all.

"Who?"

There was no sound in the alley, and suddenly, when his eyes went dark, Gu Qi fainted!
When he woke up, he was already on a boat, and the boat was in the center of Xuanwu Lake.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Gu Qi asked sharply while touching the back of his head that was still aching.

"Gu Qi, oh no, He Wu, don't worry!"

"You misunderstood the person, Gu Qi, it's not some He Wu!" Gu Qi tried his best to keep his mind steady, playing sloppy, if he could fool him, it would be the best.

"There is only one chance to deny it, but it's a pity you didn't seize it. Since you have already admitted it, you might as well hurry up."

Gu Qi's heart suddenly felt cold, the other party said that, obviously he had grasped enough clues, then...

At this moment, his own acknowledgment or denial seemed a little pale, he was terrified, and only cared about the identities and purposes of these people.If they are malicious, then nephew Lin Zhao will be very dangerous...

For a moment, Gu Qi's face turned blue and white.After all, he is just an ordinary person with ordinary qualifications, and it is difficult to be calm...

"Admitted it, right? He Wu, Xiao Goro!"

"Xiao Wulang?" Gu Qi was startled, how could he know?Back then, only Sister Lin called herself that?Thinking of the scene back then, Gu Qi couldn't help being a little dazed.

"Do you still remember this familiar title?" The curtain moved lightly, and finally a person walked out, with a shining iron mask.

"Who are you?" Gu Qi asked in a deep voice.

The man in the iron mask took off his mask with a rare sight, revealing a handsome face, but the tattoos on his face are still clearly visible after some years of wind, frost and vicissitudes.

"It's you, Jiang...yuan...you already..." Gu Qi looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, utterly astonished.

The man in the iron mask put on his mask again, and said softly: "Some people are alive, but they are already dead, and some people are dead, but they are still alive!"

"Okay!" After seeing the man in the iron mask, Gu Qi's mood has calmed down a lot, and he is no longer as frightened as before.

"I'll come in person, you should rest assured, right?"

"Why did you suddenly appear here?"

"I've been looking for you, looking for you, for 20 years!"

"20 years?" Gu Qi was a little shocked.

The man in the iron mask nodded and said, "That's right, I have been looking for you for 20 years under the order of the late Lord."

"The order of the first master?"

"Do you not believe in the First Lord or do you not believe in me?"

"Sister Lin said, you are the most trustworthy people around the Former Lord, so I have nothing to worry about!" Gu Qi Yangtian sighed: "It's just that time has changed, good fortune has made people, if it was fine a few years ago, now... ...what's the point now?" Outsiders can't empathize with Gu Qi's mood.

"Of course, at least they can reunite their mother and son, and meet again!" The Iron Masked Sect Master replied softly.

"Mother and child reunion? Mother and child?" Gu Qi looked at the man in the iron mask in disbelief, staring at him, anxiously waiting for an answer.

"Yes, Madam is still alive, and I have been looking forward to seeing you again!"

"Sister Lin, is she really still alive?" Tears flashed in Gu Qi's eyes, and burst into tears in an instant...
