Chapter Forty-Eight: The Feast of the Hung Gate

Since ancient times, it has been an eternal truth that the world must be united for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time.

In an inner garden of the palace, a woman in a black gauze skirt stood quietly on the side of the long window, staring at the purple kite outside the window with deep eyes.

Helian Changfeng just walked in, and what he saw was this scene, paused, and called: "Qingluan." ”

That's right, this woman in a black dress is Gu Qingluan, to be precise, now she is Helian Qingluan.

Gu Qingluan didn't turn around, his hands behind his back, and his cold voice contained a faint sarcasm, "Why, why doesn't Lord Changfeng call me a princess?"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Helian Changfeng's face, he stood for a long time without moving, and finally sighed, "All this is the fault of the old minister, after the old minister's soul returns to the West Heaven, he will definitely ask the ancestors and ancestors for their guilt in person." ”

Gu Qingluan didn't think so, glanced at him squintly, there was no expression on the face covered by the black veil, and snorted coldly: "Stubborn, the Helian clan has no children, no matter who this princess is replaced, it can't change the fact that the Helian clan is declining and dying." ”

"You-" Helian Chang sealed the words, his face was pale, he had experienced the most glorious time of the Helian clan, and now he naturally refused to admit defeat easily.

"In your opinion, what should we do next?" Gu Qingluan suddenly asked, this was the most important thing she cared about, as for Helian Clan Yunyun, she was not interested.

Hearing this, Helian Changfeng's face softened slightly, and he said what he thought in his heart, "Since we have already lived in the palace of the Daimyo, our position is very obvious, a few days ago, King Dugu openly kidnapped Mu Xinya, a death row prisoner, and he is bound to tear his face with the Daimyo, although they are still negotiating at the moment, but in my opinion, the big war is about to break out." ”

Hearing the name "Dugu King", Gu Qingluan's eyes darkened, "Yes, all the negotiations at present are just a delaying tactic, the Daimyo Emperor should have secretly dispatched troops, if nothing else, even the generals of the expedition to the frontier will be summoned." ”

After thinking about it carefully, Helian Changfeng couldn't help but wonder, "In this way, after Yuan Xin completes the deployment of troops, he will inevitably attack King Dugu from all sides, King Dugu is still living in the Capital Post House, and it is easy to attack him, plus there is no king in the desert city now, wouldn't it be even more broken with one blow?"

After he said this, it seemed that the Dugu clan was already a turtle in the urn, and it could be won without much effort.

Is it really that simple? The face that was always shallow appeared in his mind, Gu Qingluan's eyebrows frowned slightly, he was silent for a long time, and he flicked his sleeves and said: "It's too stuffy in the house, go out for a walk with me." ”

"But this is the Daimyo Imperial Palace, will it be possible to move around without permission-" Helian Changfeng hesitated a little.

"So what? At the time of the war, I am the superior guest of the Daimyo!" Gu Qingluan glanced at him coldly, and hooked his lips contemptuously, "Do you know why the Helian clan has weakened so much? Because in the bloodline of the Helian clan, the courage of men is far inferior to that of women. ”

After speaking, she strode away, and Helian Changfeng looked at her back and lost his mind for a while, shook his head and followed.

Gu Qingluan was very familiar with the daimyo's harem, after all, she was also the one who had been here for a few months.

Looking at the very familiar grass and trees, even if Gu Qingluan's heart was cold and ruthless, it still made a slight ripple - but this was far from touching the scenery, but humiliation.

The humiliating days when she was a guard for that woman!

Occasionally, palace maids or guards were seen along the way, and they would bow down and salute when they saw her, while Gu Qingluan took the arrogant posture of Princess Helian, completely ignoring those who groveled to her.

When passing by the former site of the Huaqing Palace, she stopped and looked thoughtfully at the large black land in front of her. Unexpectedly, her fire that day destroyed the huge palace.

It's just that, even so, she still couldn't get rid of Helian Xinya, she is really fateful!

Gu Qingluan's expression was cold, her eyes were stained with deep disgust, and she turned around and prepared to leave this place that upset her.

Suddenly, her pupils shrank suddenly, and her eyes caught under the willow tree not far away, a faint apricot figure was standing under the tree and looking at her from a distance, and the hanging willow branches fluttered in the wind, coincidentally covering the man's face.

Helian Changfeng also looked over, equally surprised.

"Who is there? Since you're here, why don't you come out to meet you?" Gu Qingluan stood still and didn't move, and said coldly, forcing the man to come to see her in person.

As everyone knows, under the sleeves, she already has a sharp blade in her hand.

The people under the tree didn't intend to go around in circles with her, and walked out slowly, only to see a beautiful and sad face like a peach blossom appear in front of the two of them.

A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Qingluan's eyes, and he frowned: "It's you." ”

"Yes, it's me. ”

The woman in apricot clothes came slowly, her beautiful face was calm, and she stood a few steps away, she was - Liu Ruxi.

Gu Qingluan let go of his brows, looked at her from head to toe quietly, and raised his eyebrows arrogantly, "What are you doing here?" Oh, is it that the money in the palace is not enough, and you came to your master to beg?"

After speaking, he sneered contemptuously.

Helian Changfeng didn't know this woman, but when he saw her obviously bulging abdomen, he still understood a thing or two, and he thought it must be Yuanxin's concubine, and he also had a great friendship with Helian Xinya.

Liu Ruxi didn't care about Gu Qingluan's ridicule, and smiled softly, "What's wrong with begging, it's better than some people betraying their masters and being ungrateful." ”

"What did you say, believe it or not, I killed you?" Gu Qingluan was furious, stepped forward with an arrow, and reached out to grab her collar.

Liu Ruxi was still calm, and there was no fear in her misty eyes, "Miss Gu, not everyone values their lives more than anything else. ”

"Really?" Gu Qingluan's eyes turned cold, and he sneered, "What about the child in your belly?" You said that if I threw you on the ground now, would you have a bleeding miscarriage?"

Hearing her threaten herself with the child, Liu Ruxi smiled faintly, "So Ruxi should be grateful to Miss Gu, Ruxi has never attacked this child who is suffering because she can't bear to kill, and it is a good thing if Miss Gu wishes to send him free today." ”

"What?" Gu Qingluan was stunned for a moment, killing people like her, and she had to look at this soft and weak woman with admiration, and instead let out a ridiculous laugh, and let go of her collar with her hand.

"Not for favor, not for wealth, not even for your own flesh and blood, Liu Ruxi, you are a little interesting. ”

"Miss Gu has won the prize. Liu Ruxi's voice was very flat, "It's also a coincidence that I met Miss Gu today, and Ruxi just wants to give the girl a word here." ”

"What's that?" Gu Qingluan asked with an eyebrow.

Liu Ruxi's eyes sank slightly, and a dark shadow was cast on her face, "People are watching the sky, Miss Gu, what is yours will always be yours, not yours, even if you can grab it, one day it will leave you." ”

After speaking, he glanced meaningfully at Gu Qingluan's gloomy eyes, and Liu Ruxi said lightly, "Farewell." Then he turned and departed.

In fact, she didn't think that she could get out of the way, even if Gu Qingluan assassinated her from behind now, she wouldn't be surprised.

Sure enough, looking at the beautiful figure with a touch of apricot yellow, Helian Chang closed his thick eyebrows, and killing intent flashed in his heart, "This woman can't stay." ”

"Wait!" Unexpectedly, Gu Qingluan's long arm stretched out to stop her, and her dark eyes exuded a deep cold glow, "Leave her alive for the time being, maybe there will be a place to use her in the future." ”

"What do you mean?"

Gu Qingluan smiled lightly, "Isn't she dedicated to Helian Xinya? After going through so much, I want to see how much Helian Xinya is willing to pay for this woman." ”

What about the robbery? I also want Helian Xinya to have the ability to snatch back what belongs to her!

"Helian Changfeng, I want to meet someone in the near future. A faint voice sounded.

Helian Changfeng didn't guess who she wanted to see for a while, and asked puzzledly, "Who do you want to see?"

Gu Qingluan pursed his lips, the black veil on his face gently raised in the wind, whispered a person's name, and turned to leave, leaving only the shocked Helian Changfeng standing in place.

I want to see - alone.

……

Purple bamboo forest, a thin mist lingers in the forest.

Dugu Jue stood quietly under the bamboo, with one hand behind him, the smoky blue robe was spotless, shining like a star. Under the black and dense hair, there is a finely carved face, thin lips with an almost perfect arc, gentle and free, as if able to remove the dark clouds and let the sun pour out, the dark pupils are bottomless, like a pool of magic deep pool, gentle, noble, distant and unattachable, invisibly separating him from everyone.

Until Hu Han Evil's "King" broke the peaceful atmosphere.

Hu Han Xie walked in a hurry, and stopped three steps away from him, "Your Majesty, there is news from over there, the Daimyo Emperor Yuan Xin invites you to the palace for a banquet, and asks you to bring the queen...... Condensation cream, taking the opportunity to strengthen the relationship. ”

After finishing speaking, he raised his head, but his words did not move the person in front of him, and Dugu Jue still looked shallow and unmoved.

After a while, Dugu Jue slowly spoke, and his gaze fell into the distance, "In your opinion, should I go?"

Hu Han Xie was slightly stunned, looked at his ethereal and indifferent eyes, and said: "According to his subordinates, this is clearly a Hongmen banquet, and the king must not go!"

"To go or not to go, what will be the consequences?" Dugu continued, his voice cold.

"This ......" Hu Han Xie paused for a moment, thought for a while, and replied with a frown: "If the king goes, he will have fallen into the trap laid by Yuan Xin openly, and the king's safety will be in jeopardy." If the king does not go, the friendly relations between our desert and the daimyo will be cut off by today, and the daimyo will immediately detain the envoys, encircle and suppress the post house, and attack the desert. ”

After such an analysis, cold sweat oozed from Hu Hanxie's forehead, and now their situation can be described as critical......

So, should this obvious Hongmen banquet go or not?

"How's the condensation lately?"

Dugu's voice was still indifferent, and when he asked this irrelevant question, Hu Han Xie was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "It's still the same." ”

"Hmm. Dugu withdrew his wandering gaze, "Come with me to see her." ”

Hu Han Xie was shocked, and immediately understood the king's decision, "Yes......"
