On the carriage, the confidant guards dissuaded Nangong Li: "General! That's the Imperial Palace! We can't act rashly! Or another day? Or, wait for him to come out later!"
Nangong snorted coldly: "Wait for him to come out? You don't know who he is going to see today?"
The confidant guard said: "Know, know, Your Majesty."
Nangong Li said angrily: "If Xiao Liulang tells the monarch that we have been chasing and killing him all these years, neither you nor I will survive tomorrow morning!"
The confidant guard said: "The monarch may not believe him!"
Nangong said sternly: "What if you believe it? In this world, anyone's mind can be figured out, but the king of Dayan, you can never guess what he is thinking. He acts strangely and has no rules at all. He's tyrannical, and he can ignore a wild country boy urinating on his shoes. It sounds unbelievable, but I've seen it with my own eyes."
The confidant guard was dumbfounded.
Nangong Li continued: "If you think that the monarch is kind to the child because of this, he personally ordered the death of a cow herding baby."
The confidant guard was completely dumbfounded.
There are many rumors about the monarch, but after all, they are all hearsay, and I can't believe it. I didn't expect that my general would actually see the madness of the monarch with his own eyes.
No wonder there is still another name for the monarch - the madman.
Nangong Li said: "Now you understand that I can't take this risk, right? Even if Xiao Liulang only has a chance to convince the monarch to believe him, this general cannot risk his life to bet on this risk."
The confidant guards clasped their fists: "This subordinate understands, General, this trip is dangerous, let the young go to assassinate him!"
"Dangerous?" Nangong smiled meaningfully, "Xiao Liulang really tried his best to meet the monarch, but did he think it would be foolproof? He would soon know that this general would kill him in the palace rather than It's a hundred times easier to kill him outside!"
…
The carriage swayed into the inner city.
The farthest place Gu Jiao went in the inner city was Canglan Women's College, and she didn't go any further, and she didn't know what it was like.
Along the way, she did not hide her curiosity, opened the curtain, and looked at it generously.
In fact, except for Muchuan who had entered the palace, the rest of the people were entering the palace for the first time, and they were also quite novel.
Muchan was very happy to be a guide for several people. He pointed to the shops on the roadside and introduced them one by one. Which shop has delicious preserved fruit and which shop has very greasy elbows.
"It's on Changyang Street." After the carriage turned a corner to the east, Muchan was excited for a moment, "Turn another corner later and you'll arrive at Dayanmen!"
Although he has the experience of entering the palace, it is very different to go with his family and with his classmates.
On the carriage in front, Master Wu seemed to be calm, but in fact he pricked up his ears to eavesdrop. After all, it was his first time entering the palace!
"What is Dayanmen?" Gu Jiao asked.
Muchuan and You Rong introduced: "You are from Zhao State, you don't know, our palace in Dayan has five gates, the first gate is Gao Gate, followed by Fengtian Gate, Duan Gate, Wu Gate The Gate and the Gate of Supreme Harmony. The place we are going to is the Jinluan Hall, one of the three major halls behind the Meridian Gate. It was originally called the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but it was renamed later.”
As expected of Shangguo, there are several more gates than the Zhaoguo Palace.
The carriages on the road near the palace could not travel too fast, and they walked for about a quarter of an hour before arriving at Gaomen.
Today's visit to the palace to face the holy is a long-term plan, so a eunuch in his thirties has been waiting outside Gaomen.
When he saw the carriage stop, he stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Is it the master and student of Tianqiong Academy?"
Master Wu opened the curtain, got out of the carriage, bowed his hands with him, and said politely, "I am Wu Cheng from Tianqiong Academy."
The eunuch said cheerfully: "Ah, you are Master Wu, who has been admired for a long time. The servant's surname is Li. Master Wu can just call me Li Sande."
Master Wu would not take the politeness of others as his own confidence, he smiled and cupped his hands: "It turned out to be Eunuch Li."
Li Sande smiled even more: "Then please ask Master Wu and the young masters to get off the bus, and the servants will bring a few into the palace."
Gu Jiao and the others got off the carriage.
Among them, Li Sande only knew Muchan. He greeted Muchuan with a smile: "Mr. Mu, long time no see."
"I..." Muchuan obviously didn't know Li Sande.
Li Sande said with a smile: "The servant was originally an official in the Hall of Preserving Harmony, and was transferred to the imperial front only a few years ago. The servant saw Mu Gongzi from a distance at the banquet on the Shangyuan Festival."
"So it is." Muchuan nodded and greeted, calling Eunuch Li.
Don't underestimate the eunuchs in the Golden Palace, but they enter the imperial front every day, and they are the people closest to the emperor. Not to mention win them over, but at least don't despise them openly.
Muchan looks silly and white on weekdays, but in fact he has the keen interpersonal sense of the son of an aristocratic family.
Li Sande laughed until he could not see his eyes.
Gu Jiao and Yuan Xiao didn't specifically get along with Li Sande, and Li Sande didn't take care of everyone. The face was given to Master Wu because he was the master of the juju team, and the face to Muchan was because he was the direct son of the Mu family.
The identities of the remaining three are somewhat—
Li Sande glanced and saw Gu Jiao, who had a birthmark on his left face, and paused slightly.
This look is really rare.
The air on the other side is even rarer.
It stands to reason that anyone with a disfigured face feels inferior, but this young man is arrogant and heroic, exuding an uninhibited arrogance all over his body.
isn't it
Is it so long and so dragging
"Eunuch Li?" Muchan blocked Eunuch Li's sight appropriately. He didn't want people to pay too much attention to Xiao Liulang's appearance and despise Xiao Liulang.
Li Sande returned to his senses and smiled embarrassingly: "I'll be there soon, so why didn't you come this time, Master Su?"
Muchuan said: "my fourth brother has something to do temporarily, and he has asked the concubine Xian to accuse His Majesty."
Concubine Wang Xian, the direct daughter of the Wang family, her elder sister-in-law Wang Laotaijun is the younger sister of the old man of the Mu family.
Li Sande sighed: "Alas, you are so courageous that you dare to exchange rewards with the people of Canaan Academy, so you are not afraid of His Majesty's blame."
Gu Jiao nodded, yes!
Hurry up and return her gold!
Muchan smiled and said, "Canaan Academy was opened by the National Teacher's Hall. How many times has Your Majesty let them play in the palace? Where do you want to see them?"
He asked the concubine Xian, and the concubine Xian said that he could do it.
They walked through a long bluestone palace road. Fengtianmen and Duanmen both had their own checkpoints. After the Duanmen was the seat of the Outer Court.
Muchuan introduced Gu Jiao: "Well, in the east are Zongren's Mansion, Liubu and Honglu Temple. In the early years, Qin Tianjian was also here. After the National Teacher Hall was built later, Qin Tianjian moved away. In the west is Dali. The temple and the front, rear, left and right four commander's mansions."
While talking, they came to the Meridian Gate.
The level of the Meridian Gate is obviously stricter than the previous three gates. If it wasn't for Li Sande's blocking, Gu Jiao's group would have been almost searched.
"It's to prevent us from bringing weapons." Muchuan explained in a low voice.
This trip was really long enough, but fortunately, I finally entered the Meridian Gate.
The majestic and majestic Golden Palace came into view, like a lion king under the sky, exuding a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
Muchan thought that they were going to the Hall of Golden Luan, but Li Sande took them to the Hall of Central Harmony at the back.
Li Sande said with a smile: "Your Majesty is still in the morning, I will take you to the side hall to wait."
The group came to the side hall of Zhonghe Hall, and Li Sande asked the servants to serve fresh lychees and snacks.
Knowing that his presence would make them feel uncomfortable, Li Sande went to the gate of the side hall very considerately to guard.
Except for Gu Jiao, several people in the room all started to get excited or nervous.
"I want it, I want that, it's a holy face." Wu Fuzi held up the teacup, his hands shaking.
Zhao Wei and Yuan Xiao did not shake their hands, but their legs.
Muchan is excited and excited, and finally wants to see the monarch!
Although he has entered the palace, he has only met the empress in the palace, or he has seen the monarch from a distance at the palace banquet, but he has not been summoned by the monarch face-to-face.
He feels like he can blow for a lifetime!
Gu Jiao was a little absent-minded.
Is Nangong Li stupid? Or did he not have the guts to chase after him into the palace
If they don't do it again, they should go back after seeing the monarch in a while.
Gu Jiao stood up.
Muchuan asked, "what are you doing?"
Gu Jiao snorted: "Go to Gong's room."
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Muchuan asked thoughtfully.
Gu Jiao glanced at him: "No need."
Muchuan said: "Oh, let me accompany you! It's your first time..."
Gu Jiao said, "Are you going to help me or what?"
Muchan choked violently!
Gu Jiao stepped over the threshold and asked the palace maid Gongfang under the corridor where she was, and the palace maid showed the way.
Gu Jiao walked out of the side hall and walked all the way in the direction of Gong Fang.
When passing by a small garden, a little palace maid who looked in a hurry came across. The little palace maid didn't look at the road and slammed into Gu Jiao's body.
Gu Jiao's bottom was as steady as a rock, and she didn't move at all, but she herself fell to the ground.
A few gold ingots fell out of her arms, she hurriedly grabbed the gold ingots into her hands, glanced at Gu Jiao quickly at first, lowered her head in a guilty conscience, and hid the gold ingots behind her: "Yes, I'm sorry!"
"It's okay." Gu Jiao said.
She bowed to Gu Jiao, then ran away without looking back.
Palace robbery
With Gu Jiao's temperament, she naturally wouldn't bother with this kind of business.
Gu Jiao continued to walk forward.
When he was about to reach the Gong's room, a young eunuch caught up with his breathless face: "In front, is that Xiao Gongzi in front?"
Gu Jiao stopped and looked at him lightly: "I am, who are you?"
The little eunuch bent down, put his hands on his thighs, and said out of breath, "The little one is little Dengzi, Your Majesty... Your Majesty summoned... Eunuch Li took the others... Little... Little came to bring … Young Master Xiao goes over… Young Master Xiao hurry up… Go with the servants… Don’t make Your Majesty wait for a long time… Otherwise, Your Majesty will blame… Young Master Xiao will suffer…”
"Oh." Gu Jiao turned around fluently, "Then you will lead the way."
The little eunuch raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his neck: "This, this way please!"
Gu Jiao followed him and walked forward.
"This is not the way I came." Gu Jiao said.
The little eunuch said: "It's too late for that road, and the corridor has to go around for a long time. Let's go through here and arrive at the Golden Palace in no time!"
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
The little eunuch continued to lead the way, the flattery and smile on his face gradually solidified, replaced by a look of disdain and calculation.
Gu Jiao walked out of the Hall of Central Harmony and came to a lush grass. To the east of the grass was a small flower house, and to the west was a small firewood house for storing tools.
"It's coming soon." The little eunuch Pi Xiaorou said without a smile.
"It doesn't matter if it's not." Gu Jiao said.
The little eunuch was stunned.
He glanced at the small firewood room without a trace.
Gu Jiao snorted: "Aren't you going to take me to sit in the woodshed?"
The little eunuch was stunned again.
Gu Jiao said lightly, "Then I'm really gone."
After all, she walked past the little eunuch and walked past the door of the little firewood house.
The little eunuch's eyes trembled, and he reached out his hand subconsciously, as if he wanted to grab Gu Jiao, but he didn't have the courage after all.
Just when he was hesitating, the door of the firewood room was pulled open from the inside with a clang.
Two powerful eunuchs came out fiercely, one with a rope and the other with a sack.
Gu Jiao looked at the sack and raised her eyebrows: "Yo."
My own person.
The eunuch with the sack said coldly to the little eunuch, "Why are you talking nonsense with him? Why don't you catch him soon?"
"Uh... yes... yes!" The little eunuch got the order, hesitantly, plucked up his courage and rushed towards Gu Jiao.
The little eunuch did not have martial arts, but the two big eunuchs did, but they were not too high.
If the real scholar Xiao Liulang entered the palace today, this lineup would be more than enough, so Nangong Li did not underestimate Xiao Liulang's strength.
It's just that Nangong Li never expected that the person entering the palace was Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao didn't have the time to spend with them, so she put the three down in the blink of an eye.
The three fell to the ground, their facial features twisted into three balls in pain.
"Didn't you say there is no martial arts?"
"Who knows? Ouch, my old waist..."
Gu Jiao looked down at the three of them condescendingly: "Where is Nangong Li?"
The three of them blinked and said nothing.
Gu Jiao tilted her head, stepped on one of them's shoulders, and removed his arm on the spot: "Don't let me ask a third time."
The man's veins throbbed violently in pain, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and his breathing seemed to be choked. With the last of his willpower, he suppressed the severe pain from his body and said, "You... What are you talking about... We don't understand... This is the Imperial Palace... General Nangong... How could it be possible... Will come... "
Gu Jiao said lightly, "How can he be at ease if he doesn't watch me die?"
Nangong Li had already failed once, so she didn't believe that he would dare to bet a second time.
"I don't really care about your lives." After Gu Jiao finished speaking coldly, as soon as she stepped on it, she heard a screeching sound, and the eunuch under her feet instantly tilted her head and became unconscious.
The rest of the two were simply stunned.
What's the situation
Did this kid kill Lao Cao
What about the weak scholar
Gu Jiao looked at the little eunuch and the other big eunuch: "Only one of the three can survive, who the two of you said?"
"I said! I said!"
"I say!"
The two spoke in unison.
"I'll say it first!" The little eunuch said, relying on his young age and quick response, "General Nangong is here..."
call out!
A hidden weapon flew in the air, with a very low voice and a very fast speed, directly touching Gu Jiao's neck.
Gu Jiao moved her ears, flipped her fingertips, and shot a Tanghua needle!
The Tanghua needle hit the hidden weapon and hit the hidden weapon on a branch not far away.
"It turned out to be a stone."
Gu Jiao moved her feet lightly, turned around, and looked coldly at the direction where the hidden weapon was shot.
Not unexpectedly, she saw Nangong Li flying over with a light effort.
Nangong severed his arm, his right sleeve was empty, but even with his left hand, if Gu Jiao was hit by the blow just now, it would never feel good.
Gu Jiao's aura was not weak in the face of the famous general of the Dayan Kingdom.
The distance between the two was ten feet. She took a few steps forward without fear, and said with a half-smile, "Long time no see, General Nangong."
Nangong Li's eyes tightened slightly: "You are not Xiao Liulang! Who are you!"
Gu Jiao had met Nangong Li twice, both times in the dark and never showed up.
Gu Jiao took another step towards him with her hands behind her back: "Isn't General Nangong investigating me? Can't you guess who I am?"
She used her own voice.
It's a woman!
Nangong Li's pupils shrank suddenly: "You... you are Gu Jiao!"
Nangong Li's whole body is not well!
Xiao Liulang, who had been following him for so long, turned out to be this girl from the countryside!
Nangong Li investigated Xiao Heng and found out that he left the capital with a fake death, kept his name incognito as Xiao Liulang, and went all the way back to the capital in the imperial examinations. At that time, there was a woman who brought him from the countryside, called Gu Jiao.
It is said that she is still a daughter of the Houfu who lives in the folk.
Nangong Li didn't care.
As a general of the Shangguo, he didn't even care about the emperor of Zhaoguo, let alone a daughter of a Houfu
So he never investigated Gu Jiao in depth.
It was Gu Jiao who entered the palace, not Xiao Liulang, then he came to chase and kill a bastard! It's very risky!
Nangong Li turned around and left!
"Want to leave?" Gu Jiao shot out a Tanghua needle.
Nangong Li only felt a chill on his back, hurriedly flew up, stepped on the tree trunk with his toes, and turned around to avoid a blow.
"You're crazy!" After Nangong stabilized his body, he looked at Gu Jiao angrily, "Do you want to die with me? After a while, His Majesty finds out that I have broken into the palace privately, and I will also bite out the fact that you are impostors. You don't think your end is much better than mine!"
Gu Jiao raised her hand, snapped off a long branch from the top of her head, used the branch as a spear, and pointed at him coldly: "Who wants to die with you? If I kill you, no one will know that I am an impostor. ?"
Nangong Li suspected that he had heard it wrong, what did this girl say
kill him
In the palace
Where did she get the confidence that she could kill him
Even if he broke his arm, pinching her to death was as easy as pinching an ant!
However, there is a risk of being discovered.
It is worth taking the risk for Xiao Liulang, but it is really unnecessary for an impostor girl.
Footsteps were heard not far away.
Nangong said with a sneer: "Girl, someone from the side hall has already come over, don't force me to kill you."
"I know, so please die!"
Gu Jiao tipped her toes and flew up, the "long spear" in her hand was like a roaring dragon swiftly biting towards Nangong!
It was obviously just a branch, but she made her use the power of mountains and rivers!
Looking at the familiar marksmanship, Nangong Li opened his eyes in disbelief almost instantly.
This is... Xuanyuan's marksmanship!
