Guiping, Dongchang Camp.

Time stopped wandering at this moment, and there was silence inside and outside the tent, only the faster and faster sound of "Tu Tu" continued to shake people's ear drums, which was the nervous heartbeat that belonged to Min Rui.

His right hand, as if it had taken root and sprouted in the round hole of the wooden box, was motionless.

Gu Di sneered, staring at Min Rui's red and white face.

"Lord, please take the beans."

“… Oh..."

Min Rui's eyes were slightly shocked, and he turned his eyes to the side in embarrassment, wanting to do it but still a little unwillingly, the hand inserted in the hole touched left and right in the wooden box, stirring the beans and making a frequent "whoosh" sound, and finally held his breath and pulled out his hand.

Min Rui quickly lowered his eyes and looked at something between his fingers.

Black beans?

It's black beans, yes!

If he was hit on the head, Min Rui's mind was blank for a moment, and he would only look at the round bean in a daze.

The blackness of his whole body was like the boundless night outside, swallowing him in an instant, buried in the cold and bottomless abyss.

Min Rui's body trembled violently for a while, and his two fingertips desperately pinched the round and hard little thing, so that his fingertips were so painful that he didn't realize it.

Gu Di got up slowly, his clear eyes did not carry a trace of emotion, and he exclaimed hypocritically:

"How so, how so! The Chosen One... It turned out to be the grandfather of the country? ”

Min Rui slowly stirred his eyes with black beans in his hand, looked at the hypocritical man in a daze, and his voice was weak:

"Lord Leng Overseer, this result... Is there room to turn around? ”

"What do you think?"

Gu Di lowered his head slightly, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of pain. The phoenix's eyes are narrow, and a little ridicule quietly shows his head:

"The rules are like this, and the prince of the country should also understand that if the order is reversed, how can we stand up for power, how can we serve the people, and how can we command thousands of troops?"

"Well, this king is willing to be the one who lights the fire......"

Min Rui no longer fought forcibly, his scattered eyes were scorching and condensed at this time, looking directly at Gu Di, and just as the other party was amazed by this, he turned around and walked slowly.

His expression was slightly dazed, Min Rui was thoughtful, but he couldn't remember how he got out of the tent, until he was regained consciousness by the chaotic voice in his ears:

"Lord Min, what did you catch by lot?"

"The prince's face is not very good."

Several people came around, and among them, a young man dressed as a guard had an anxious face, supported Min Rui, who was lost in his soul, and asked urgently:

"Father, what the hell did you catch?"

Min Rui came back to his senses in shock, subconsciously clenched his right fist hard, and asked rhetorically:

"Jun'er, didn't my father let you go back to the barracks first?"

"The child is not relieved, so he turns back and waits for you. Father, have you ever smoked soybeans? ”

Looking downward, Min Jun noticed that his father's right palm was shaking and shaking, and his face was stagnant.

"Father, show the child ......"

Min Jun went to grab his father's right hand, Min Rui's eyes flashed with shock, and he dodged with his hand, prevaricating:

"No, it is soybeans that are smoked for the father, for the father."

Min Jun refused to believe it all at the moment, and when he was scrambling, Min Rui missed, his five fingers suddenly loosened, and a bean rolled into the loess.

Everyone bent down with the help of the firelight, and it was not difficult to recognize the black and shiny true color.

The noisy procession fell silent, some secretly breathed a sigh of relief, some shook their heads in regret, and some wept.

Min Jun was stunned, his stunned eyes stared at the black spots on the ground, his knees suddenly fell to his knees, his eyes were wet and red, and he murmured helplessly:

"Father, father......"

Min Rui closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were as sharp as blades.

Thanks to his wife's deathbed reminder, he will act in time to prepare a way back for himself and the people who are alive in the Min family.

Min Rui picked up his son, led him straight to the rest tent, and whispered all the way:

"Don't worry, the sky won't fall yet!"

The drawing of lots was considered to have the final result, and Gu Di ordered the crowd gathered outside the camp tent to disperse.

The subordinates approached the Gu flute with a wooden box in their hands, and said flatteringly:

"Your Excellency, the design of this Zhenlong box is really ingenious."

Gu Di smiled silently, took the wooden box and opened it three or two times, and took one in one hand.

The wooden box named "Zhenlong" was originally two sons and mothers, installed together in a large set of small styles, and the outer mother box not only has holes that can be freely entered and poked out by human hands, but also has a secret mechanism on the base, which is very inconspicuous.

Normally, without moving the mechanism, the human hand reaches through the hole and directly enters the inside of the mother box.

However, when the mechanism is flipped and the sub-box in the inner layer of the mother box is turned to the corresponding position, it will contact the hole in the outer layer of the mother box.

In this way, when a human hand enters the hole, it enters the inside of the sub-box.

This time, the Gu Di deliberately used the wooden box of Bizhenlong to deceive, putting soybeans in the mother box and black beans in the sub-box.

When others touch the beans, all they take from the mother box are soybeans. Only Min Rui came, and Gu Di's subordinates secretly activated the mechanism, and finally let Min Rui extract black beans.

Gu Di smiled evilly and turned his wrist and poured out two boxes of beans, staring at the yellow and black mixed with cold eyes, and said to himself:

"Don't say that Ben Du didn't give him a chance, he ended up being separated from Ben Du. That's it, since you can't win it, you can simply destroy it and leave no trouble. ”

The sonorous steps entered the camp tent, Cheng Wanli walked in with his head bowed, and slowly raised his hand and clenched his fist:

"Overseer."

Gu Di's understated gaze swept over the big dark face with a numb expression, but he didn't realize that there was anything abnormal, and asked a little boredly:

"How did you get back? What about Yunxi, did you bring her here? ”

Cheng Wanli shook his head faintly:

"No, Miss Yun, was left in the palace by the emperor."

In order to pretend that he was still under the control of the "exorcism technique", Cheng Wanli deliberately put his speech full of tones, and his words were muddy.

Gu Di's eyes were full of red light, and his hands were clenched fiercely behind him, causing hatred to the extreme:

"Bastard thing, with his South China letter, he dares to covet the woman of Bentu!"

Cheng Wanli's lowered gaze was always fixed on the ground, and his chest was full of resentment.

He hated the man who pretended to be his father, even if this person was his twin brother.

What's more, this person not only commanded the master's subordinates, but also wished to snatch the master's cloud girl.

Secretly gritting his teeth and holding back his anger, Lao Cheng pretended to ask in a casual voice:

"Overseer, what's next?"

Gu Di frowned tightly and paced twice quickly:

"What else can be done? The day after tomorrow is the time to open the Kunhuang Underground Palace, and the governor has been laying out for a long time, so he naturally wants to get the jade seal at any cost. Hengzhu Hua Nanxin will not survive that day, and if he dies, Yunxi will naturally return to the side of the governor. Tomorrow, we will make careful arrangements and concentrate the main manpower in the underground palace. ”

Cheng Wanli silently arched his hand and stopped squeaking.

The so-called loss of words, the top priority is to keep an eye on this person's every move and find ways to report to his grandfather.

Gu Di thought about it in a deep voice, and his words suddenly changed:

"By the way, you keep an eye on Min Rui for me. The Governor had just made a plan to appoint him as the one who ignited the gunpowder in Wangsendai, but he was afraid that he would not willingly accept his fate. If you find him making a small move, you can kill him immediately without asking the Governor. ”

"Subordinates obey."

……

Guiping, the Royal Pavilion.

After being imprisoned in the Qushui Hall the night before, Gu Yunxi had been sitting in the corner of the wall, holding his chin in his hand and watching the breeze and the shadow of the flowers tilting outside the window, and he stayed awake all night.

Until the faint sunlight shined through the window lattice, which carved auspicious smoke cloud patterns, directly on her tired and pale face. That's when she realized that it was already dawn outside.

The guards outside the window and door stood all night.

Xu was worried that she would find a short-term view, and before closing the door of the palace, several little fathers-in-law removed all the hairpins on her head, and stripped off the silk ribbons she used to bind her waist, so that she was left with a loose hair and a loose dress.

Gu Yunxi understood, and it seemed that he was detained by Hua Nanxin.

Thoughts wander back.

Thinking of entering the palace in the past, and meeting Hua Nanxin, who was still the prince, he was fortunate to have him present several times in distress, and all of them turned the danger into a disaster.

At that time, she was naïve and thought that she had met Fuxing, and she also thought that Hua Nanxin was really stupid, so she threw away the taboo of not kissing men and women, went out of the same room with him many times, and walked in the palace hand in hand.

Now that the truth is revealed, Gu Yunxi can't help but be shocked and angry, and extremely ashamed.

Trapped in the deep palace for half a year, she has seen the fierceness of the court battle, and she has also seen the ruthlessness of the palace slaughter.

can be like Hua Nanxin, just for one purpose, he can endure humiliation and burden, pretending to be crazy and stupid for more than ten years, this perseverance is like enough for the cold overseer, but the means that become ruthless and cruel after the overturn are the terrible thing about him compared to the cold overseer.

Gu Yunxi knew very well that Hua Nanxin was a man who was wise, treacherous and cold-blooded.

Compared with him, the former Ming Lan, Wan's father and son, and even Emperor Jingxiao, were nothing at all.

It seems that this time the cold overlord has met a real opponent.

Gu Yunxi's mind was messing up with all kinds of assumptions and assumptions, and the door of the Qushui Hall slowly opened to both sides.

The blinding white light rushed into the main hall, shaking the girl so much that she couldn't open her eyes.

More than a dozen palace ladies lined up to enter, and the trays in their hands contained palace clothes, hairpin jewelry, pairs of blood corals, jade ruyi, golden vases and green halls, and all kinds of rare treasures.

At the end of the queue was the old eunuch Chen Ying, who strode to Gu Yunxi with a white whisk of dust, bowed down and smiled slightly, with a modest expression:

"Concubine Yun, the old slave is polite."

"What is my father-in-law talking about?"

He didn't sleep all night, and the rice and rice for two meals never touched his teeth, Gu Yunxi was hungry and tired at this time, and he even ran out of strength to sit.

But because of the old eunuch's words, he suddenly jumped up from the ground with a sudden blow, and was so shocked that he forgot to breathe:

"Who, who's Yun Concubine?!"

The girl instinctively stepped back and took a step back, a wary look swirling in her eyes, so nervous that she bit her lower lip.

"Hehe, the slave should die, the slave forgot to say hello to Concubine Yun."

The old eunuch smiled all over his face, unfolded the yellow silk in his hand, and pulled up a sharp voice:

"Zheng Ran's daughter takes the order."

Gu Yunxi was speechless, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

Chen Ying couldn't cry or laugh, and lowered her voice to remind:

"Oh, aren't you the youngest daughter of the late Zheng Guogong. Say you, kneel down and receive the order, the emperor wants to canonize you as a third-grade concubine! ”

Gu Yunxi's cheeks were flushed, his face sank slowly, and he replied calmly:

"I can't take it."

"Hey, resisting the decree is a big crime to kill the head. Come on, I'm waiting for Yun Concubine. ”

In an instant, the old eunuch's face changed, his brows were scowling, and his cold eyes glanced to the side.

Two young and powerful eunuchs walked around behind Gu Yunxi.

"Let go, what do you want to do! I don't accept orders, I don't want to be the emperor's concubine-"

Gu Yunxi was assassinated by Gu Di and lost her internal strength, and she was unable to use martial arts, and now she is a weak woman who has no power to restrain her.

The fierce resistance was fruitless, and the two half-men and women each cut a jade arm upside down and pressed it to the ground.

"Be careful, if you hurt her face, the emperor can't spare us."

Seeing that Gu Yunxi still didn't give up when he knelt down, and his pretty little face almost touched the ground when he continued to struggle, Chen Ying reminded him in time.

Shaking the bright yellow silk cloth, the old eunuch recited aloud:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. The late Guogong Zheng is full of loyalty, and his daughter is like a soft temperament, Shuhui and peaceful. This volume is a three-grade noble concubine, and I admire this. ”
