Dai Zhengqi sighed regretfully and looked at Zhao Chengmo with some resentment, "Your fiancé has such good wine, but you didn't even bring two jars for me, your brother. You really don't have any sense of loyalty."
When Zhao Chengmo heard the name of fiancé, the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, "I'll send you two jars later."
Dai Zhengqi laughed a few times, "This is what a good brother is."
The two exchanged a few more words, and Dai Zhengqi said sternly, "I heard that you and Huo Jingwu don't get along very well?"
The Jinwu Guard Camp should be equipped with one chief and two deputy commanders. Dai Zhengqi was originally the chief commander, but was promoted by the emperor to the commander of the imperial guards, so this position became vacant.
Huo Jingwu was the only deputy commander at the time. He thought he had secured the position of commander-in-chief, but he did not expect the emperor to send Zhao Chengmo instead. The conflict can be imagined.
Zhao Chengmo neither nodded nor shook his head. Dai Zhengqi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I heard that the brothers still admire you very much. We warriors rely on this to speak." He shook his fist and said, "Huo Jingwu is not a bad person, but he is a little narrow-minded. He will get better over time."
Zhao Chengmo nodded. He knew the knot in Huo Jingwu's heart, but everyone spoke based on their ability. As long as the other party did not go too far, he would not take it to heart.
The restaurant had been busy the whole day. After seeing off the last table of guests, everyone gathered in the lobby and simply prepared three tables of food and drinks.
Gu Lingze picked up the wine glass and looked at everyone, "I wish our Heyi Tower will be prosperous in the future."
"Everything goes well, and the house is filled with wealth and treasure." Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all. After sitting down, they chatted with each other about their feelings of the day.
After having dinner with everyone, Gu Lingze said goodbye to them and returned to the general's mansion. Aunt Tao asked Uncle Xu to see him off, and Mr. Xu pulled her sleeve and asked her to watch the door.
Zhao Chengmo was wearing an official uniform, holding a lantern in his hand, standing at the door waiting for someone.
Aunt Tao and Mr. Xu smiled at each other and went about their own business.
"Have you finished your patrol?" Gu Lingze asked with a smile.
Zhao Chengmo said 'hmm' and stretched out his hand, "I'm here to take you home."
Gu Lingze held his hand, and the two of them did not take a carriage. Instead, they returned home holding hands in the quiet winter night.
The next day, Gu Lingze went to the restaurant early in the morning. Uncle Xu and the others didn't let him help with anything. He was bored, so he decided to go see Zen Master Minghai.
"Zen Master." Gu Lingze pushed the door and walked in.
"Donor Gu."
As soon as Gu Lingze saw Master Minghai's face, he felt that it was not good. After asking, he found out that the master would go to the Dongchuan Imperial Mausoleum in a while to dispel the evil spirit. He couldn't help feeling ashamed.
He took out the spiritual milk and ointment prepared in advance and placed them on the table.
"Master, this is the medicine I prepared for you. Applying the ointment to the back of your waist can relieve the pain. You can mix a little of the water in this bottle with your tea. It's good for your health."
"Amitabha." Zen Master Minghai bowed his head, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
"Mr. Gu, it's a coincidence that you came today. Would you like to go to the Dongchuan Imperial Mausoleum with me?"
Of course Gu Lingze was willing, and nodded immediately.
It took the two of them most of the day to reach the imperial mausoleum. Gu Lingze and Zen Master Minghai climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down.
The evil spirit that was originally like a thick fog has really dissipated a lot. This is all the result of the Zen master's hard work. Gu Lingze couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Zen Master Minghai looked at him kindly and said, "Donor Gu, there is no need to do this. We just need to fulfill our respective responsibilities and do not regret it." After saying this, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, turning the Buddhist beads and chanting scriptures.
Gu Lingze walked to the center of the Eighteen Dark Ding Formation and continuously input spiritual energy. The two of them worked so hard just to be able to stop Cheng Jiao from bringing disaster to the people one day.
In the evening, Gu Lingze returned home and had dinner. He waited for a long time but did not see Zhao Chengmo. When he asked Qian Bo, he found out that he had returned a long time ago and went back to his room without even eating.
Gu Lingze asked the kitchen to prepare a bowl of chicken noodle soup. He personally carried the tray, walked to Zhao Chengmo's room and knocked on the door.
He waited in front of the door for a while before the other party came over and opened the door.
"I heard from Qian Bo that you didn't eat dinner at night. Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhao Chengmo has been taking the spiritual milk for a long time. Although all his illnesses may not be cured, at least he doesn't get sick easily, so Gu Lingze is a little worried.
"Before coming back, I went to a restaurant with my brothers from the Jinwu Guard to eat." Zhao Chengmo said this without looking into Lingze's eyes.
Gu Lingze didn't notice this. He sniffed and asked, "Why is there a smell of medicine in your room?"
Zhao Chengmo stretched out his hand and showed him a wound on the back of his hand. "I accidentally cut myself today. I've already applied medicine on it."
Gu Lingze held his hand and looked at it carefully. There was only a shallow mark on it. Since the medicine had been applied, it should not be a big deal.
He put the tray on the table, looked at Zhao Chengmo and said, "Then eat your noodles and go to bed early. I'll go back first."
Zhao Chengmo walked him out the door, watched him go away, closed the door, and immediately coughed twice.
Gu Lingze always felt that something was wrong with Zhao Chengmo today, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
The next day, Gu Lingze asked the servants in the mansion to help grind the ingredients for the beauty pill in the morning. After lunch, he went to the restaurant.
Not long after he left, a team of Jinwu Guards came galloping on horseback. When they reached the door, they dismounted and rushed into the general's mansion.
When Qian Bo saw their clothes and anxious expressions, he did not stop them and took them directly to Gu Tianhua.
When they saw Gu Tianhua, they knelt down and saluted. "General Gu and the two deputy commanders Zhao Huo started fighting. There was blood just now!"
They had no choice but to come to the General's Mansion to ask for help. The Jinwu Guards were responsible for protecting the safety of the imperial city, but they did not expect that their own people would start fighting.
The two deputy commanders had ruthless swords, and several people who tried to stop the fight had been injured. After much deliberation, they decided to ask for help from the general who guards the country.
When Gu Tianhua heard this, he called Qian Bo, and the two of them immediately followed the team of Jinwu Guards.
The two guards were immediately taken to the martial arts arena, but they found the scene in chaos. Many people were lying on the ground, and the other Jinwu guards who were standing were fighting each other. Zhao Chengmo and Huo Jingwu were both covered in blood, but the fight was still hard to tell.
Gu Tianhua subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he still yelled, "Stop it!"
But no one listened to him. Gu Tianhua and Qian Bo looked at each other and took action directly.
Zhao Chengmo looked at Tianhua and blocked Huo Jingwu, shouting "General, be careful!"
Huo Jingwu raised his knife and slashed at Gu Tianhua. Every blow was fierce and he didn't care about Gu Tianhua's identity at all. There was a cruel and bloodthirsty smile on his face and his eyes were red.
After Qian Bo stabilized Zhao Chengmo, he also went up to help. The two of them felt that the other party was extremely strong, and were immediately shocked.
