"Master Zhan, wait a moment." Yan Ze said and walked into the imperial study.
Lankuo was furious when the Grand Master mentioned that he could not send troops to Dongling. When he saw Yan Ze walking in, he asked loudly, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, Gu Master Zhan wants to see you." Yan Ze returned to Lankuo at this time.
After hearing this, Lan Kuo's expression changed from gloomy to clear. He quickly stood up and said, "Quick, let him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yan Ze responded and walked out of the imperial study.
Seeing Yan Ze come out, Zhan You walked forward and asked with a smile, "How is it?"
"Master Zhan, the emperor lets you in." Yan Ze looked at Zhan You and said.
After Zhan You heard this, he walked to the imperial study.
When Lankuo saw Zhan You coming in, he quickly stood up and walked to Zhan You, "Gu Master Zhan is back, how is the matter?"
"Your Majesty, please take a look." Zhan You said at this time, taking out the jar containing the Nightmare Gu King from his body.
Lan Kuo took the jar and opened it gently. Seeing that the Nightmare Gu King inside was as active as ever, Lan Kuo couldn't help laughing loudly and said, "Okay... okay."
"But something unexpected happened in the middle." Zhan You then said to Lankuo.
After hearing this, Lan Kuo couldn't help but frown slightly, and then asked, "Accident? What accident?"
"It's also my fault for making an independent decision, which cost the emperor one of his assistants. I hope the emperor will punish me." Zhan You then knelt down in front of Lan Kuo and kowtowed.
Seeing this, Lan Kuo couldn't help but have a question on his face, "How do you say this?"
"The emperor still remembers that I said before that the princess has twin voodoos on her body, and the other voodoo will probably be in that Shuohou's body." Zhan You then asked Lankuo, the king of Xiling.
Lankuo's brows were furrowed, "Why, what does it have to do with this matter?"
"The Lord Dong Ling Shuo came to exchange the Nightmare Gu King for the princess. Unexpectedly, before he left, the Gu worms in his body began to eat his heart's blood. The Lord Shuo suddenly felt so painful that he was sweating all over his body. He can't move." Zhan You said to Lankuo at this time.
Seeing that Lankuo remained silent, Zhan You continued, "Later I thought that Shuohou was extraordinary in ability. If we fought against Dongling in the future, Shuohou would definitely be a big stumbling block for us. Then I thought why not take this opportunity to kill him." If you tie him up, you can save a lot of trouble in the future. Thinking of this, I sent someone to tie up Shuoling."
"Gu Master Zhan did this very thoughtfully, why..." Lan Kuo asked confused when he heard this.
At this time, Zhan You had some anger on his face, "Your Majesty, who would have thought that Shuohou endured the pain and killed the people who came to kidnap him. When the deputy commander saw it, he ordered his people to go together. Who would have thought At this moment, two men with high martial arts skills suddenly came out from the side and killed the guards one by one. When the deputy commander saw this, he ran forward and started fighting with one of them."
"Who knows..." Zhan You paused as he spoke.
Lankuo quickly asked, "Who knows what?"
"Unexpectedly, Commander Yan was no match for him. He was beaten to death by that man after just a few moves. Seeing that something was going wrong, I was afraid that he would snatch the Nightmare Gu King away again, so I quickly escaped through the back door. Come out." Zhan You said, frowning slightly, and then said.
After hearing this, Lan Kuo didn't feel the slightest bit worried, "Hey, Gu Master Zhan doesn't have to blame himself. Master Zhan Gu was originally thinking about the future, but Gu Master Zhan couldn't predict the unexpected event at the time. Get up quickly."
Lankuo said to Zhan You at this time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhan You said and stood up.
As for the conversation between Lankuo and Zhan You, Yan Ze, who was standing at the door of the imperial study, couldn't help clenching his fists after listening to it.
This Yan Hao is his twin brother. Because of the training from their ancestors, the men of the Yan family have loyally guarded Xiling and protected the emperor for generations, but they never thought that they were actually pawns in his eyes.
Hearing this, Yan Ze told the guards at the side and ran towards the side courtyard.
When he rode to the side courtyard, he saw a mess in front of the courtyard door. It must have been caused by Yan Hao and others when they took action. Bodies were lying on the ground.
Yan Ze dismounted and ran over, only to see Yan Hao lying among the corpses.
At this time, Yan Ze saw that Yan Hao's chest was pierced by a sharp blade. Although he was dead, his eyes were still open.
Seeing this, Yan Ze couldn't help but feel a little wet in his eyes. He walked forward and squatted down, moved his head to the side, and closed Yan Hao's eyes with his hands.
Then he turned around, picked up the sword scattered beside him, walked to the open space aside, and started digging in the ground with his sword.
Soon, a pit was dug out, and then Yan Ze walked up to Yan Hao, bent down and hugged Yan Hao hard.
Then he walked to the pit he had just dug and gently placed Yan Hao inside.
Put his accompanying sword next to Yan Hao.
At this time, Yan Ze got up, closed his eyes and said, "Goodbye, brother, this is our fate. From the moment we were born, our destiny has been arranged by others. We have no choice. Maybe we really have to die. of relief.”
As he spoke, Yan Ze's eyes were slightly moist.
Thinking of this, Yan Ze sighed and buried the soil on Yan Hao's body with his hands.
Shuo Ling and others had already arrived at Wu Gu Mountain.
Pei Moning asked Yang Zijin in the carriage, "How are you? Are you still awake?"
Yang Zijin was wiping the sweat from Shuo Ling's forehead with a handkerchief.
"Not yet." After hearing this, Yang Zijin opened the car curtain and said to Pei Moning.
Pei Moning nodded at this time, and then said, "Then see if there is a token on him."
"Token? What token?" Yang Zijin frowned slightly after hearing this.
At this time, Pei Moning explained to Yang Zijin, "This is the token to enter Wugu City. I heard Mo Li mention it last time."
"Well, okay, I'll look for it." Yang Zijing nodded after hearing this.
As he said this, Yang Zijin started rummaging around Shuo Ling's body.
Sure enough, Yang Zijin found a sign on Shuo Ling's chest.
I saw the words Wu Gu City written on it.
Yang Zijin then handed the sign to Pei Moning through the car window, "Brother, see if it's this."
"It should be that your carriage is too slow, so I will go ahead and make arrangements." Pei Mening took the sign, then looked through it and nodded.
After hearing this, Yang Zijin nodded to Pei Moning.
Then Pei Moning told Runyu, "Keep walking along this road without turning. You can see Wugu City. I will go ahead and prepare and wait for you at the gate of Wugu City."
"Okay." Runyu nodded and said to him.
After the explanation, Pei Moning clamped the horse's belly with his legs and ran quickly towards Wu Gu City.
When he arrived at the gate of Wugu City, Pei Moning took out the token.
The two gatekeepers nodded and let Pei Mening in.
Pei Moning glanced at the small sign at this time and couldn't help but nodded to it. Thinking of the attitude of the gatekeepers towards him and Li Qiye last time, it was amazing that this token was really useful.
But he didn't have time to pay attention to this at this moment, so he hurriedly ran to Housi's residence.
I was here last time and vaguely remember the way here.
But after walking for a while, Pei Moning realized that something was wrong. He was about to find someone to ask. When he turned around, he saw someone playing chess alone in a pavilion nearby.
Then Pei Moning took a closer look, who else could this person be if he wasn't the Gu King? Pei Moning couldn't help but feel happy.
He quickly ran forward and was about to speak when he saw Hou Shi making a gesture to Pei Moning not to speak.
Seeing this, Pei Moning could only watch silently.
At this time, Hou Shi first played black stones, then white stones, and then frowned slightly or hesitated.
Pei Moning on the side couldn't help but feel anxious, and wanted to interrupt several times, but every time before he could move forward, he saw Hou Shi waving his hand.
Pei Mening had no choice but to continue waiting.
It wasn't until Hou Shi finished playing the game that he raised his head, looked at Pei Moning, thought for a moment and then asked, "You are the one who came here with Li Li to get the awakening Gu last time."
"King Gu has a really good memory. It's true that this junior Pei Moning has no choice but to find King Gu this time." Pei Moning nodded at this time and said.
After hearing this, Hou Shi looked puzzled and asked, "What happened?"
"Shuohou is unconscious now." Pei Moning said.
At this time, Hou Shi couldn't help but frown, "Unconscious? How could this happen?"
"Yes, there is awakening poison in his body, and he fought with the Xiling people when the poison was sucking. Now his body is very weak." Pei Moning told Hou Shi the reason.
Hou Shi asked again, "Where is he now?"
"Now we are estimated to be at the gate of Wu Gu City. I will go ahead and ask King Gu for explanation." Pei Moning said to Hou Shi.
Hou Shi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look with you."
With that said Zhan You stood up and walked towards the door.
Pei Moning quickly followed.
The gate of Wugu City.
At this time, Runyu had already parked the carriage beside the door.
After a while, Pei Moning was still not seen coming out.
At this time, Yang Zijin looked at the unconscious Shuo Ling in the carriage. He couldn't help but become anxious. He opened the door curtain and asked, "Mr. Run, what if the eldest brother doesn't come out yet?"
"Princess, don't be anxious. Wait a little longer. If it doesn't come out yet, we will find another way." Runyu turned around and said to Yang Zijin.
Yang Zijin nodded after hearing this.
As soon as he finished speaking, Runyu saw Pei Moning coming out with the same person, so she jumped down from the carriage and saluted Hou Shi, "King Gu."
He had met this Gu King three or four years ago on his way to find Wanchu.
"Are you a ghost fairy?" Hou Shi stopped and looked at Runyu, frowning slightly, looking up and down, and asked uncertainly.
Runyu nodded at this time.
"Why did the ghost fairy suddenly travel to this barren land?" Houshou asked again.
Runyu's mouth was slightly raised at this moment, but before he could speak, Yang Zijin in the carriage heard the sound and asked, "Mr. Run, is the Gu King here?"
"Please ask King Gu to check the poisonous insects in Lord Shuohou's body." Runyu said to Hou Shi at this time.
