Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Affair Between Guo Nuan and Two Women

Speaking of Yan Zhuang whom he met in Xinyi Building, Guo Nuan really didn’t know much about his past background. After the two of them chatted hurriedly in the theater for half an hour, the security officer of Jingzhao Mansion arrived belatedly.

.

"Sir Yan, a total of twelve city gates in the east, west and south of Chang'an City have been strictly controlled. The guards at each city gate have not found any suspicious women leaving the city. It is estimated that the killer has not escaped from the imperial city. Our subordinates will closely check the people in Chang'an.

Suspicious persons, make sure the killer is caught and brought to justice as soon as possible."

The person who came was none other than Guo Nuan's old acquaintance, Yan Ruoshui. For some reason, whenever something went wrong, the two would always meet. I don't know if this was a lucky meeting between Guo Nuan and Yan Ruoshui, or it was bad luck. Yan Ruoshui was right

When Yan Zhuang reported the case, he only glanced at Guo Nuan beside Yan Zhuang.

"Uh, do you know each other?" Yan Zhuang noticed the strange eye contact between the two.

Guo Nuan smiled playfully, said haha, bowed his hands to Yan Ruoshui and saluted, then turned to Yan Zhuang and replied: "Yes, I can be regarded as Xiaosheng's two life-savers. I'm glad to meet you, brother Yan."

"Well, we meet again, Consort Guo." Yan Ruoshui didn't know why, but she was a little cold towards Guo Nuan. Her face was calm and she couldn't see any joy. She just responded casually. This made Guo Nuan a little confused.

Before Yan Zhuang could say anything, Yan Ruoshui hurriedly said goodbye.

"I'm busy with official duties, so I won't delay any more. I still need to arrest the murderer Kang Wan'er. Please retire."

Every time I meet Yan Ruoshui in Guo Nuan, I know that he is the kind of person who is resolute in his work. He never leaves his profession and is a complete workaholic. Yan Ruoshui hurriedly bid farewell to Yan Zhuang and others and led a group of people.

The class yamen officers went straight to patrol the streets of Chang'an City.

When Guo Nuan stared blankly at Yan Ruoshui's leaving figure, the injury on Yan Zhuang's arm was no longer bleeding and seemed to be temporarily stable. He stood up from the stool and asked meaningfully: "

Has Consort Guo offended Yan Baotou? Judging from her expression, she seems to be a little unhappy with the young master?"

"Uh, is there? It seems that I haven't offended him. He was fine when I was rescued by him in the restaurant last time. I don't know." Guo Nuan smiled, touched the back of his head, and immediately withdrew his distant smile.

sight.

Yan Zhuang also began to wonder. In the ancient Mandarin dialect of the Tang Dynasty, there are still slight differences in the pronunciation of the male "he" and the female "she". For some reason, Guo Nuan always uses the male "he" when referring to Yan Ruoshui in the third person.

.

"Forgive me for being abrupt, but I have to ask, doesn't Prince Consort Guo know that Yan Baotou is born as a daughter?" Yan Zhuang looked surprised and asked Guo Nuan softly.

"What, he is a woman? Yan Ruoshui!"

As soon as Guo Nuan heard Yan Zhuang's words, he immediately jumped up and looked at Yan Zhuang, his eyes widened. For a moment, he seemed unable to accept the sudden news.

"She is the daughter of Yan Zhenqing, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Don't you know this?" Yan Zhuang became even more confused when he saw Guo Nuan's reaction, and broke another big news to Guo Nuan.

"What, she is the daughter of the great calligrapher Yan Zhenqing!"

Before Guo Nuan could digest the breaking news in time, another piece of news from Yan Zhuang shocked his fragile heart. The idol's daughter, whom he had known for a long time, didn't even know

, Guo Nuan's intestines were filled with regret. He should have known more about his feelings.

"Grandma, if you didn't tell me earlier, no wonder her face turned ugly when she heard me call her Brother Yan... But she always wore a male uniform of a Yamen servant, and also tied up her hair and covered it with a pointed Yamen hat.

How can I tell whether she is a male or a female?"

Guo Nuan's face turned from sunny to gloomy, and then from gloomy to clear in an instant. At this moment, he turned his back to Yan Zhuang, who was confused about Zhang Er's mind and whispered something in a low voice.

After chatting with Yan Zhuang for half an hour, Guo Nuan saw that it was already getting late. Guo Nuan was worried that the large group of men and women in the princess's mansion were worried about their own safety, so she said goodbye to Yan Zhuang.

When I came out of the building, it was already late at night. I looked up at the sky. There were only a few stars and a full moon hanging high in the sky. The night was very clear. In front of Xinyi Building, I took off the reins of the carriage that was hitched to the horse post. Guo Nuan

After boarding the carriage, he raised his whip and drove towards the west gate, preparing to return to the Princess Mansion in Waiguo City.

The drums in the Drum Tower have already sounded, which means the arrival of the late night watch. However, the streets in Chang'an are still brightly lit, most shops have not yet opened their doors, and there is still a lot of traffic.

Guo Nuan was driving a carriage on a bluestone road in a sparsely populated elm forest. Suddenly, a white shadow flew over from the tiled roof of a high-angle eaves building next to the street, and jumped lightly to stand in front of Guo Nuan.

Next to the driver's seat, he was being held at his throat with a long sword.

"Oops!" Guo Nuan was startled by the woman who suddenly jumped on the carriage. He was caught off guard and almost lost control of the reins. The fast-running horse staggered and almost drove the carriage towards the ditch on the roadside.

Guo Nuan finally managed to stop the car on the roadside.

"Grab the reins, leave the city gate immediately, avoid the city guard's inspection, and then go to the eastern suburbs."

The visitor softly uttered a voice as clear and sweet as an oriole through the veil, but the words contained a chill. After being frightened for two days in a row, Guo Nuan didn't find the voice pleasant at all, but rather like a life-threatening charm.

Of course, Guo Nuan knew very well that if she did not stop her order, the next moment the white knife went in and the red knife came out, his throat would be pierced and he would die.

Guo Nuan took a closer look and saw that the person in front of her was not the famous actress Wan'er who had just danced the Hu Xuan dance in Xinyi Building. Although she was still covered with a veil, Guo Nuan recognized her at a glance from the dance costume she had not yet changed out of.

Guo Nuan secretly thought that he had bad luck going out that day. He carefully stared at the gleaming sword blade at his neck, not daring to express his anger. After calming his heart that was beating violently in his flat chest, Guo Nuan squeezed out what he thought was a charming smile and said to Kang Wan.

:

"Ahem, Miss Wan'er, I am Guo Nuan. I have always liked your wonderful Hu Xuan dance from the Western Regions. I am a loyal fan of yours. My aunt, please put down the sword first. Look at such a sharp weapon. It belongs to a girl.

What if you hurt an innocent person by making random gestures with it? Even if you don't hurt anyone else, you are likely to hurt your precious body with a sharp weapon... What if you hurt yourself..."

When Guo Nuan faces a life-or-death situation, his mind will become calmer and faster, and like Tang Monk, he will immediately babble a lot of nonsense.

"When Guo Nuan said her name for the first time, Kang Wan's sword against Guo Nuan's neck immediately shook slightly, and a strange look appeared in her beautiful veiled eyes.

"Your name is Guo Nuan, son of Fenyang King Guo Ziyi?" A cold voice came again.

"Yes, yes, Miss Wan'er, I am Guo Nuan, the son of King Guo Ziyi of Fenyang. I am the real Guo Nuan."

"Humph, what a coincidence. Do you know who my father is?" the woman sneered.

"Who is it?" Someone pretended to be stupid and asked blankly.

"An Lushan!"

"Oh, it turns out you are the daughter of Hero An. I have admired your name for a long time. I am glad to meet you."

Someone started to flatter him. Without a blush or a heart beat, he renamed the An Lushan traitor as a great hero. As soon as he said it, even he felt that he was shameless. He had no choice but to please this ruthless killer.

Women, you have to say anything against your will, otherwise your life will be at risk.

"Did you know that my father's death had a lot to do with your father Guo Ziyi? If your father, the marshal, had not saved Li Tang, my father would not have been defeated and died during the uprising."

"Ah... this is a matter for the previous generation. What does it have to do with our next generation? Miss Wan'er, please don't involve innocent people."
