Both the emperor and the Jiuwang brothers had practiced martial arts. Although Princess Jing was also good at martial arts, she couldn't get in for a while, so she had to hide in the corner with General Lian.
She frowned and watched the two brothers move fiercely, fighting to the death, trying to figure it out, but heard General Lian ask: "Princess Jing, who do you hope will win?"
Princess Jing didn't think about it: "Of course it's the emperor. After all, he has already ascended the throne, and he has done well in the past seven years. Our national power has been rising year after year. If we want to change him, there must be a large number of loyal ministers who refuse to accept, and I don't know how many people will die."
General Lian sighed with a smile: "Heroes see the same thing. Then I invite the princess to cooperate with the emperor to capture the Nine Kings!"
With that said, he untied the saber at his waist and handed it over.
Princess Jing was taken aback for a moment, she came in a hurry and did not bring any weapons, but even the general only brought this saber, and handing it over to her at this moment means giving her all his wealth and life.
She was stunned, remembering that she was the one who proposed to kill the old man's grandson. Not only did the old man not take the opportunity to take revenge, but he was also loyal to the point of being completely selfless. In comparison, how respectable is the old man? But he was extremely selfish.
She took the saber, and recalled the past, but she felt: when the time comes again, she will still advise the emperor to kill Lianjian.
But the emperor and the nine kings didn't allow her to think too much, she drew out her sword and walked towards those two.
At the end of the dark, narrow and damp tunnel, Gu She sat on a tree root.
His expression was indifferent, his back was neither stretched forever like Lian Jian, nor hunched over, but he seemed indescribably relaxed and comfortable.
It seemed that what he was in was not a dark, narrow and damp tunnel, but something very comfortable and pleasant.
The emperor's footsteps slowed down and stopped about seven or eight steps away from Gu She.
Gu She's gaze finally focused on him: "All the rebellious soldiers and horses have retreated?"
The emperor answered irrelevantly: "I suddenly feel that my obsession with you these years is not ridiculous."
Gu She frowned: "Isn't it ridiculous?"
"A person like you is destined to be admired and admired by men and women all over the world."
Gu She said coldly: "I hate mosquitoes the most."
The emperor choked, and then smiled wryly: "Yes, I killed Lianjian. In your heart, I'm afraid I'm not as good as mosquitoes and flies."
Gu She ignored him, but asked again: "Have all the rebellious troops retreated?"
"I've captured Ah Xu, and let Sister Jing escort him to retreat."
Gu She stood up abruptly: "I asked you to go in person, why didn't you?!"
The emperor said softly: "I haven't seen you for two years, I want to see you sooner."
"Princess Jing did something to lure King Chang to surrender before killing him! Who do you think would believe Princess Jing's promise not to pursue it again?!"
The emperor's face also changed, and in a moment, he turned around and ran out of the secret passage!
Gu She sighed, and followed slowly, but just as he came to the main secret passage, he heard a bang, a flash of fire at the entrance of the secret passage, and a burst of thick smoke!
Gu She quickly retreated to the narrow side road and closed the entrance.
However, the mechanism can isolate the fire, but cannot isolate the thick smoke, so he had to go deeper.
Back at the root of the tree, he turned the root of the tree around with difficulty, blocking the secret passage. It turned out that this tree root was the portal at the end of the dark passage.
He took out another oil-paper bag from his pocket and put it on the ground, and put the portrait of Lian Jian on it, then took off his coat, turned around and soaked it in a puddle of water, blocking the gap between the roots of the tree.
This person is safe, but it is also extremely cold. It turns out that the exit of the secret passage is in the well, and the puddle of water just now is the well water. The well water is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is piercing at the moment, but he only has his inner robe left on him.
Picking up the portrait and the oil-paper package, he looked up at the mouth of the well. The mouth of the well was glowing red, and all the well ropes were wrapped around the pulley.
Open the oil paper package, inside is a tube of fireworks and flint paper media. If he didn't set it off, he didn't know whether he would be frozen and comatose; if he set it off, the thick smoke from the secret passage and the red light from the wellhead would tell him that someone set fire in the palace.
The person who set the fire will never be the emperor's person, so the palace is still under the control of the nine kings. Setting off this tube of fireworks means sending him to the hands of the subordinates of the Nine Kings.
He hesitated for a moment, but lit the fire anyway.
Before he could light the fireworks, a head appeared from Jingkou: "Gu She!"
He guessed that she would come, but he didn't expect such a coincidence. Shaking out the paper media, he responded, "Miss Qiu."
Qiu Shuining hung down a cloth belt, which looked like a torn bed sheet: "Tie it on your body."
On the ground, Gu She found that An Ran was also there.
"How do you know I'm here?"
An Ran said displeasedly: "I, the Dharma protector, is splitting the helm. How could I not know that you sent my people behind my back? It was my sister Qiu who insisted on coming to save you. I wanted to pretend not to know."
Gu She bowed to Qiu Shuining: "Miss Xie Qiu."
Qiu Shui Ning ducked: "I'm not for you."
Gu She looked at the fire on the other side of the bedroom: "I would like to ask you two to take me to the gate of the palace, where my horse is."
Qiu Shuining frowned: "It's just a horse."
Gu She said in a deep voice, "That's my horse."
Qiu Shuining looked at An Ran, saw that she had no objection, and said, "Okay."
When they saw Gu She's horse, both Qiu Shuining and An Ran's eyes lit up: "What a magnificent horse!"
An Ran added: "Only the leader and the two horses that Mr. Yuan got back from Xiqiang last month can compare, no wonder you are reluctant."
Gu She touched the horse's head: "This is my brother's mount. Before he died, he entrusted this horse to me along with Tao Mo."
Qiu Shuining didn't know what to do, and said in surprise, "Your brother? You also know Tao Mo?"
An Ran tugged at her sleeve, she stopped talking and watched Gu shoot on the horse.
The guards of the Lian Mansion came up: "Young master, a group of guards from the Ninth Prince's Mansion took Prince Zong out of the palace just now, and they don't know where they are going. The old general should be outside the Zhengde Gate. The subordinates saw that there were fireworks over there."
"Who owns Anyuan Gate now?"
"Shi Taiwei. It is said that Princess Jing escorted the Nine Kings to surrender outside the city. Shi Taiwei let the Nine Kings go to death with peace of mind. He will help the Prince of Zong succeed him, and then he ordered the arrow to be released. Princess Jing was hit by the arrow and retreated."
Gu She frowned: "How is Princess Jing's injury?"
"I don't know."
Gu She pondered for a while: "Go to Tianshuijing Alley and burn the Taiwei's mansion!"
The guards of the Lianfu were all taken aback, and someone hesitated and said, "It's better to continue recruiting..."
Gu She shook his head: "Since you hurt Princess Jing, I'm afraid Shi Taiwei won't turn back if he doesn't stop doing something else."
Even the guards of the mansion were speechless.
Gu She bowed his hands to An Ran and Qiu Shuining, and rode their horses away.
Even the guards of the mansion and others also bowed their hands to An Ran Qiu Shui Ning, and followed Gu She away.
It's getting dark at Suzaku Gate.
When Ye Qing heard that Gu Xianzhi was visiting, he was startled for a long time.
When he saw that Gu She was only wearing an inner robe, he was even more taken aback.
But Gu She didn't realize it, and sat down without waiting for Ye Qing to give way.
"The Nine Kings have been captured, do you know?"
Ye Qing's face was livid and he didn't answer.
"If you don't believe me, you can go to Anyuanmen to find out. Princess Jing escorted the nine kings to surrender at Anyuanmen. Shi Taiwei was unwilling to give up all his previous efforts. Arrows shot and injured Princess Jing, set fire to the emperor's bedroom, and took Prince Zong to help the young master. enthroned."
"What does it have to do with you?"
"I promised one person that this capital would shed less blood."
If Gu She said something high-sounding, Ye Qing would definitely not believe it. But this seemingly unreasonable answer made Ye Qing feel that this was exactly what Gu Xianzhi did.
With a sullen face, he asked someone to come in and ordered to go to Anyuanmen to inquire.
After the person left, he stroked the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what the consequences will be if you lie in front of me?"
"I don't need to know because I'm not lying."
A subordinate's voice came from outside the door: "Boss, Taiwei's mansion is flooded, do you want to save it?"
Ye Qing looked at Gu She in astonishment, Gu She smiled: "I let it go."
Ye Qing raised his voice to the outside: "It's important to guard the Suzaku gate, don't act rashly."
There was a sound outside the door and he left.
Ye Qing asked Gu She again: "How are you doing?"
"Lieutenant Shi shot and injured Princess Jing. The emperor was supported by Princess Jing to the throne. What do you think will happen to the emperor?"
"Hate Captain Shi."
"The emperor has nothing to do with Shi Taiwei for a while, who will he vent his anger on? Who is the chief culprit in this matter?"
"You mean the Nine Kings..."
"The Nine Kings have been captured. No matter how well you guard the Vermilion Bird Gate, he will not be able to accomplish anything. Isn't this a plan for yourself? Do you really want to wait until the emperor orders troops to surround the Vermilion Bird Gate, and then the net will be broken?"
Sweat drenched his shirt back, Ye Qing knelt down on one knee: "Mr. Gu please advise!"
Gu She calmly said, "Don't worry, wait for your spies to come back and verify that I am not lying, and I will guide you on what to do."
"Mr. Gu!" Ye Qing interrupted Gu She, "Without the Nine Kings, Ye Qing would have died long ago. As long as the Nine Kings can be preserved, Ye Qing will never hesitate to die! Please give me your advice, Mr. Gu!"
In Tianshuijing Alley, the fire was raging, and Shi Taiwei reined in his horse.
"Taiwei! This subordinate is Ye Qing, the leader of the Zhuque Gate garrison! When this subordinate sees the Taiwei's mansion leaking water, they bring people to put out the fire!"
Shi Taiwei nodded in satisfaction.
Gu She rode a horse and stood in front of the former site of Zuixiang Building.
"Young Master Gu! Ye Qing has captured Taiwei Shi according to Young Master Gu's plan!"
"Young Master Gu! The emperor has the nine kings in custody, and has persuaded the rebels guarding the imperial city to surrender!"
"Young Master Gu! The palace is empty, and the guards of the Nine Kings and Prince Zong are missing!"
Gu She pursed her lips: "When the news was released, it was said that the body of a young child suspected to be Prince Zong was found. The Nine Kings were devastated."
"yes!"
"Any more news, send it to the sub-helm."
"yes!"
It was actually only four or five hours since I left Tao Mo, but it felt like many days and years.
Lian Kuai was driven to the fastest by him.
From a distance, Tao Mo could be seen waiting in front of the door, while Lao Tao, Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi stood by.
"String!"
As soon as Tao Mo saw him, he rushed over.
He hurriedly stopped his horse, jumped off, and hugged Tao Mo who was rushing towards him.
But he immediately pushed Tao Mo away: "I am covered with ice, don't freeze you."
Tao Mo answered him with a tight hug: "I'm not afraid."
Thanks to Gu Xiaojia who is familiar with Gu She's living habits, he prepared hot water in advance.
Tao Mo waited on Gu She to take a bath.
From time to time, disciples of the Devil's Cult would send news. After hearing the past and future, Tao Mo adored Gu She.
While helping Gu She dry her hair, he praised sincerely: "Xianzhi, you are simply too good! You can pay homage to your face!"
Gu She's face darkened.
It was only then that Tao Mo realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly showed a flattering smile: "Let me tie up your hair for you first! You can get dressed."
Gu She's expression eased, and he raised his hand to tie up his hair: "You know how to do it?"
Tao Mo blushed: "No. - I will learn!"
Gu She smiled and said, "No need. I don't want you to serve me."
He stood up, and Tao Mo wiped him with a towel. Suddenly, Tao Mo stopped.
"?" Gu She looked at Tao Mo.
Even Tao Mo's ears were red, and the towel was hastily passed over him.
Only then did Gu She realize that his body had changed.
He is also a little embarrassed. Over the years, he has been abstaining from desires. Except for changes in the morning, this has never happened at other times.
He pulled the towel and wiped himself up.
But at the same time, he noticed that after Tao Mo straightened his waist, he let out a soft breath.
If Tao Mo behaved calmly, he would continue to be embarrassed, but Tao Mo behaved so embarrassed, he wanted to tease Tao Mo a little bit.
So after putting on the inner robe, he took Tao Mo's hand and said softly, "Touch it."
Tao Mo withdrew his hand as if being scalded, and glanced at him in panic, his expression was both reproachful and shy, which made Gu She's heart thump.
By the time he realized it, he had already hugged Tao Mo in his arms.
Tao Mo didn't even dare to push, with both arms hanging down, he just called out as if begging for mercy: "Xianzhi."
Gu She turned her head and kissed Tao Mo's earlobe. Feeling dissatisfied, she kissed her cheek again, and finally grabbed her lips and plucked them hard.
Tao Mo was so overwhelmed by the kiss, he also raised his arms to hug him, stroking his shoulders.
This undoubtedly fueled the passion of Gu She, he hugged Tao Mo even tighter, letting his body cling to his body.
Suddenly, a heavy cough came from outside the window, which brought the two of them back to clarity.
Gu She let go of Tao Mo reluctantly, and tied up his belt as if nothing had happened.
Tao Mo also hurried to help him take the obscene pants, lowered his head, avoiding Gu She's gaze.
When Gu She opened the door, Lao Tao and Lu Heng were outside.
"That—Master Lu prepared a celebration banquet for Mr. Gu and his brothers. I don't know Mr. Gu..."
Gu She nodded: "It's time to toast the brothers."
