When Gu Liubai walked into the crossbow field in Anshanfang, the last afterglow of the setting sun disappeared in Chang'an City, and the night was filled with night.
For some reason, perhaps because the crossbow field of this sect was relatively empty, somewhat like the wilderness outside the pass, he felt a little emotion in his heart.
But the night in Chang'an seems gentler than the night outside the pass.
There is a lot of fireworks in the night wind and a lot of food aromas floating in the streets and alleys.
Zhou Lingyu was holding a long bow in her hand, and she was wearing strong clothes, which looked completely different from the jewelry spirit she had when she visited Pei Mansion before.
Seeing two maids leading Gu Liubai over, she smiled slightly at Gu Liubai, but in an instant, she shot at the pile of arrows in front of her, directly clearing all the arrows in the arrow bag she was carrying.
The arrow hits the red bull's eye.
"Good arrow."
Gu Liubai clapped his hands repeatedly.
A smile appeared on Zhou Ling's face.
But what Gu Liubai said next made her smile suddenly appear a little stiff.
Gu Liubai said: "I think you should shoot very accurately while riding a running war horse."
"You guys wait outside." Zhou Lingyu shouted out the two maids, and then asked Gu Liubai to follow him to a quiet room next to the crossbow field.
This quiet room should be used to change clothes for women on weekdays. Gu Liubai saw the clothes she had changed before hanging on the wall at a glance.
"I heard you don't give the third prince any face?"
Zhou Lingyu frowned slightly. It was not that she didn't care that Gu Liubai saw the clothes she had changed, but the boy's eyes surprised her a little.
She was wearing strong outfits and was wearing good curves. The boy was not moved at all, and his eyes were not at all where he should go.
Gu Liubai sat down on the cushion in front of her, smiled and said, "I am the same boat as the fifth prince, and it is useless to give him face."
"You are not afraid that you can use such a slutty method to deal with him?"
After Zhou Lingyu sat down, she looked natural and smiled slightly, saying, "And have you ever thought that you gave him a great opportunity?"
Gu Liubai was curious in an instant and said, "What opportunity?"
"The Third Prince is a narcissistic person and is prone to complacent, but these are all trivial matters." Zhou Lingyu took out a food box from the side, opened it and placed it in front of Gu Liubai, and then continued, "The biggest problem in the emperor's eyes is that it is not smooth enough. As an emperor, it is most taboo to send out the fire. Even if you hate an official in the court to death, you must consider it in the long run. First, you must weigh the use of this official and let the official do something for the Tang Dynasty as much as possible, instead of just finding an excuse to cut off the head of this person. With the third prince's temperament, many people's heads fell off very quickly."
"It makes sense." Gu Liubai also smiled slightly, "The reason why the Tang Dynasty became the Tang Dynasty was that it was tolerant and encompassing all-encompassing."
"In addition to the four-eared demon cat and its owner, you are also a very important person to Li... It is a difficult problem for Li." Zhou Lingyu and Gu Liubai only met in Pei's mansion, but at this time she talked to Gu Liubai, but she seemed to have no scruples, just like someone who was very familiar with each other. "The matter between you and the third prince may not be a big test for the third prince in the eyes of the emperor. If the third prince handles the relationship with you and handles it appropriately, it may change the emperor's view of him. Do you think you are equivalent to giving him a chance?"
"The dog can't change his shit, I think he can't seize such an opportunity." Gu Liubai was happy. "If there was only one carriage in the front of the three carriages that came to Yankangfang today, it means that he had realized it, but it seems that he still can't do it now."
Zhou Lingyu glanced at him and said, "But I might remind him?"
Gu Liubai smiled brighter, "It's not possible for others to remind you of this kind of thing. You have to understand it yourself. And if you remind him and he really changes his style, then you should stay away from him."
Zhou Lingyu was also curious, "Why?"
Gu Liubai said seriously: "It means that there are no strategists around him who can see the situation clearly, and there is not even a person like you who can see the emperor's meaning. If you get too close to such a person, there will be more dangers in the future."
Zhou Lingyu nodded.
She instantly agreed with Gu Liubai's statement, but then she was a little confused, "But there seems to be no benefit when mingling with the fifth prince."
"Many powerful people like to prepare for the future and plan ahead." Gu Liubai smiled faintly and said, "So many people in Chang'an stared at the prince and the third prince, always like to bet on the two of them in advance, and they couldn't help but want to help someone among them take advantage of it. But why not think about his feelings from the emperor's perspective?"
"He has a strong body. Anyone who has an idea about the dragon throne, whether it is the prince or the third prince, will not make him feel very happy." Looking at Zhou Lingyu who was thinking very seriously, Gu Liubai smiled and said, "It's just that people like us, whether in Chang'an or Youzhou, will always be disturbed in such a situation. If you have to choose one, the fifth prince is pretty good. In addition, the fifth prince is my friend, so it is indeed the best choice for me to get along with him."
Zhou Lingyu looked at Gu Liubai with some doubts for a while and said, "I really didn't think about pushing the fifth prince to the throne?"
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "I have never overestimated myself. There are so many local snakes in Chang'an, who can push whom?"
Zhou Lingyu said seriously: "Then what are you doing in Chang'an?"
Gu Liubai said very simply: "Cultivate."
Zhou Lingyu was stunned, "Cultivate?"
Gu Liubai said naturally: "I am a practitioner. When I arrived in Chang'an, I naturally went to the eighth grade to practice. I would like to talk about it first. I didn't have so many other purposes."
In fact, at this time, he felt that what he said was right.
Even though Zhou Lingyu is not a vulgar person, it is indeed a bit difficult to solve on the same level.
These powerful people only think that they are the ones who control the chess game. They see and think about power in their eyes. In their eyes, it is a bit unreasonable for Gu Liubai to go to Chang'an without taking power.
But the pursuits of both sides are really different.
If a person's cultivation is so high that his power cannot limit him, then power will be like dirt to this person.
Since childhood, his mother has been a little contempt when talking about the powerful and noble families, and the idea he has been instilling in him is that the eighth grade is not the end.
Since Gu Liubai encountered Yin Shiniang and Luang Po and saw his mother's plans, he knew that the so-called Nine-grade rank was not nonsense.
As a practitioner, his true pursuit is the invincible ninth grade in the world.
But he felt that when he said the ninth grade, Zhou Lingyu directly thought that he was nonsense, so he reluctantly said that it was eighth grade.
But the other party seemed to think that he was insincere in this kind of sincere conversation?
If you don’t believe it, don’t believe it.
He didn't force it either.
So seeing Zhou Lingyu's obvious disbelief, he just smiled faintly and asked, "Then why are you here in Chang'an?"
Zhou Lingyu's face was as normal, but the temperature in the entire quiet room seemed to drop a little suddenly.
Gu Liubai seemed not to feel it, so he took a piece of pastry in the food box and started eating.
Made of jujube paste, it seems to be mixed with osmanthus, orange peel and other things, which is very delicious.
"I'm not afraid of poisoning you." Zhou Lingyu suddenly laughed, "What do you know?"
“你别忘记我在入关前是干什么的.”顾留白觉得这糕点挺好吃的,就又继续吃了起来,然后接着道:“你也应该知道,回鹘的大多数商队都从我那过,我知道你是回鹘的暗探也不稀奇.不过你们回鹘一般不叫暗探,也不叫暗桩,叫暗隼?”
"Impossible." When Zhou Lingyu heard Gu Liubai name his identity directly, he smiled relievedly and said, "There are only two Uighurs who know my identity."
"??" Gu Liubai was stunned for a moment. He suspected that the other party was also cheating on him. "Is your confidentiality level so high?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Lingyu seemed to have figured it out completely. She smiled and showed two beautiful dimples on her face, "It should be what the goddess told you."
Gu Liubai became honest now, and he nodded, "It seems that you are very clear about the news from the mission."
"You made a deal with the goddess. You gave her a half-dead Gu insect, and she told you my identity." Zhou Lingyu looked at him deeply and said, "What are you looking for me?"
"I don't know what I'm going to do either."
Gu Liubai's answer stunned Zhou Lingyu.
Gu Liubai continued to smile and said, "I just want to confirm your identity, and then see what your goddess told me about this. To be honest, I was a little confused when you goddess did this."
Zhou Lingyu was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe he wanted you to save our lives."
This answer also stunned Gu Liubai.
"You have been a stake in the border army. You should be very clear that these stakes and spies in the Tang Dynasty are the most respectable, but they are actually the most pitiful people. Many times, once their identities are exposed, they will be directly abandoned, and many times, they will become bargaining chips for trading."
Zhou Lingyu took a deep breath and said slowly, "Our fate is the same as your secret stakes and secret spies. This time...even I don't know the real purpose of this mission coming to Chang'an. But according to the current situation, it should be that we have reached some kind of agreement with the emperor, and we, the Uighur Dark Falcons lurking in the Tang Dynasty, may have become part of the transaction."
Gu Liubai frowned deeply, "Can the goddess change such a decision?"
Zhou Lingyu glanced at Gu Liubai, "Do you think there is a possibility that the goddess is also part of this transaction?"
