……

The people in the palace rushed to block the entire Ningling Palace.

When the eunuch Wang entered the mansion, he saw that they were all guests who had fainted on the ground. In the garden of the back house, Gui Jixiang, Chi Tang and others were all lying naked together. Gui Jixiang's whole body was covered with white sticky liquid, and he would twitch every once in a while, revealing an angelic smile.

In the morning, the story of the Shangqiu County Lord of the Ningling Mansion still leaked out of the matter of one woman fighting four men, and the whole Yongcheng was spreading.

Emperor Gui therefore issued a gag order: If there is a discussion of this matter, the nine clans will be connected.

The matter was slowly put to rest, but the people of Yongcheng already knew about it.

At the same time, Emperor Gui also issued a hunt and kill order: the person who killed Emperor Wenfang was rewarded with 10,000 taels, ate 3,000 yi, and was named a hereditary marquis.

The heroes rose together, laying layers of ambushes on the roads from Gui to the wasteland, covering the sky and the earth. But I didn't even find a single hair of Huang Wenfang.

A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen. The wasteland sent an envoy again, asking to immediately bring the eldest princess back to the wasteland and bring Nanling Wang Chitang to the wasteland as a hostage.

There are few people in the court of Gui who dare to speak like Chi Chao, they are all greedy for comfort and compromise. humiliatingly agreed to the conditions of the envoy of the wasteland, and launched a group of admonitions to ask Emperor Gui to agree to the matter.

Emperor Gui was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood in court, and scolded His Highness's officials for being a group of rice buckets and a group of corpses and waste of vegetarian meals.

But the result can not be changed, after three months. The convoy is about to depart.

Chi Chao didn't stay in Yufangzhai for a few months, thinking that he would wait for the head of the line and them to come back and taste the snowflake pork he brought from the mountain, but the eunuch Wang appeared in Yufangzhai with a summons and ordered him to enter the palace immediately to receive the edict.

What the hell is going on? Ningling Wangfu won't blame me, right? , Chi Chao thought as he galloped to the palace.

"Eunuch Wang, I don't know what His Majesty suddenly ordered me, what is the so-called matter?" Chi Chao asked Eunuch Wang, who was in the same car, for advice.

"It's a good thing, as an envoy of Gui Kingdom, you accompanied Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to the Wasteland country, and at the same time brought Princess Duanmuzao of the Wasteland back to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Eunuch Wang said with a smile.

"Why is it that I, a hairy boy, instead of those ministers who have been planning for a long time, didn't they say that they would marry next year?" Eunuch Wang told Chi Chao in detail what happened, "Your Majesty asked you to be an envoy, and you also fancy that you can maintain the prestige of the country, and even give your life for it."

"Oh, I see." More than ten years of nodding. "Can you let me ask one more question, how does Your Majesty deal with Gongzi Changlin and the second young man of the Wei family?" ”

"Chi Gongzi has also heard the rumors, but His Majesty has strictly forbidden to talk about this matter. All I can say is that the three of them were relegated to the Mulan Army to guard the pass. ”

Guarding the gates? The closest Mulan Pass to Yongcheng? The punishment was still light.

"By the way, King Nanling went to the wasteland as a hostage, did Princess Nanling accompany him?" Chi Chao asked again.

"No, the princess stays in Guiguo. Traveling is not good for pregnant women. ”

Pregnant woman! I don't know whose son it is? Chi Chao thought to himself, I hope it's Chi Tang's.

Emperor Gui said that he had been sick for three days, so the eunuch Wang took Chi Chao to Emperor Gui's bedroom.

At that time, Emperor Gui was playing chess with the eldest princess on the chessboard. Seeing that Chi Chao stood on the side for a long time, he got down from the chessboard battlefield and got up to greet him.

"Grass people Chi Zhu see ........." Chi Zhu was about to bow to the two, but let Emperor Gui hold him.

"The four gentlemen are too modest, it stands to reason that the only person you can worship in this world is your teacher Sword God." Emperor Gui explained, "Take a seat quickly. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Gui nodded, returned to the dragon chair behind the desk and sat down. Chi Chao followed behind Gui Dongdong and sat on the low seat on the left and right sides of the dragon chair.

"Eunuch Wang, let all those who serve go out first. I have something special to say to the Four Gentlemen. Emperor Gui ordered.

"Yes!" The eunuch dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs who served and closed the door.

"I really didn't expect that the four gentlemen of Gui would be you." Emperor Gui said, "The reason for letting you enter the palace, presumably the four gentlemen have already asked on the way, right?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chi replied, "But why should I go." ”

"You're still angry? Angry you are being used as a stand-in? King Nanling has already suffered like this, aren't you still angry? Emperor Gui was slightly angry, "The gentleman of the Sword Tower should be more elegant." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't need to teach me how to be a gentleman." Chi Chaos shot back.

Looking at the "war" that was about to break out, Gui Dongdong quickly stood up and looked at Emperor Gui: "Brother, please get down to business." ”

Emperor Gui saw Gui Dongdong's eyes that wanted to cry, and immediately sighed. "Four gentlemen, I beg you, serve as the envoy this time."

Chi Chao could see that as soon as Gui Dongdong spoke, Emperor Gui immediately changed his attitude. So it was Gui Dongdong who really wanted him to be an envoy, and he knew Gui Dongdong's friendship for him.

"Your Majesty, my realm is at the entrance level. I'm afraid it's hard to be in charge, if I die, won't Gui Guo lose a powerful sword. Chi Chao repeatedly refused.

Although he knew in his heart that Gui Dongdong hoped that he could send her to the wasteland, he also knew that he would die if he went. An ungrown sword tower gentleman, who doesn't want to kill someone who has changed the enemy country? What's more, there are a lot of his enemies in the Gui Kingdom. What if his whereabouts are exposed?

Although Gui Dongdong had his back to Chi Chao, Chi Chao could hear her forced sobs.

Emperor Gui stood up and walked in front of Chi Chao: "You go first." This news is sent to you by me. Emperor Gui handed Chi Chao a wax-sealed bamboo tube, "Believe it or not." You only have time to think about it for one night, and if you go, hang a red lantern on Yufangzhai. Someone will secretly take you to the dock by then. No one will know that you Chi Chao has left Gui Kingdom, and no one will know that the four gentlemen of Gui Kingdom have left Gui Kingdom. ”

Chi Chao didn't know what was in the bamboo tube and wanted to see it, but he had to go now.

Not far from the dormitory, Chi Chao opened the bamboo tube, which contained a rolled piece of paper.

It said that the old pharmacist appeared on the black market in Daze in Lancang a few days ago and bought the elixir Miao Cao at a high price. The way to send off relatives will pass through Lancang Daze, which is an opportunity for Chi Chao, but there is only a slim hope.

My chances? There are still two years left, and I can't give up, even if there is little hope. I only have that choice! The old pharmacist is the only one who has a way to keep him alive!

It seems that I had to go. Chi Chao had already made a decision in his heart.

Chi Chao turned back again, and just happened to meet Gui Dongdong.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, take advantage of the fact that there is no one now. Let's talk. Chi Chao took the initiative to say.

"Well, good!" Gui Dongdong was a little surprised, and Chi Chao suddenly turned back.

In the imperial garden, Gui Dong and Dong Chi walked on the cobblestone path, but Gui Dongdong's expression did not shine because of the splendor of spring flowers, and was always mixed with a touch of sorrow.

"Be happier." Chi Chao folded a peach blossom and handed it to Gui Dongdong.

"Looking at the hundred flowers, they are not as beautiful as Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." Chi Chao said diligently.

"Don't you learn to be like that, okay? Dongdong didn't like it very much. A trace of sadness flashed in Gui Dongdong's eyes.

"What the grass people said is the truth, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, rest assured, the grass people will definitely send you to the wasteland safely."

"Brother Chao, no! Now it's time to call you the Four Gentlemen. ”

"If Your Highness wants to continue to call me Brother Zhuan, it's not impossible. Your Highness can do whatever he wants. ”

Such words obviously made Gui Dongdong feel very disappointed, but Gui Dongdong still mustered up courage. "Actually, Dongdong doesn't want to be an eldest princess at all, I hope that I am a commoner and can dominate my own will."

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is afraid that she is wrong, and a common person can't control his own will. His fate has always been controlled by the high-ranking and powerful. Chi Chao said, "The eldest princess was born in the royal family, so she naturally doesn't know the suffering of the people. Have you ever seen a child of a family bully a commoner, but a commoner child does not dare to resist? Have you ever seen the children of the family indulge in the Yongcheng Tavern Willow Lane, while the children of the common people are in danger of defending the border city? Have you ever seen a child of a family forcibly rob a girl from a good family, and the officials and legal history ignore it? Do not envy the commoners, but the commoners should envy His Highness. ”

"Could it be that when you are in the royal family, your fate is bound?"

"Of course." Chi Chao said, "To be supported by all the people, you should also follow the wishes of all the people." From the moment of birth, the fate of His Highness was convenient for the people to tie together. You have to abandon your fate for the sake of the fate of the people, this is fate, and the princess of every country has such fate. ”

"Aren't people able to break their own fate?" Gui Dongdong sighed.

"No, it's like I can't break the fate of dying at the age of eighteen. The answer Your Highness wants is in what I said earlier. What Chi Chao wants to say is that if you want your fate not to be controlled at will, you have to become a high-ranking person, and Gui Dongdong has no chance, and he has no time to complete this.

"Lancang Daze is dangerous, most of the bandits lick blood, and they are not afraid of the official fleet at all. There will be a ship hijacking. We can all be killed and thrown into the wilderness. If we don't die, no one will find out that we are alive. "Gui Dongdong has hidden words in his words, she knows. Chi Chao understood.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, people must not be too selfish, the tragedy caused by one step is that the people of the three kingdoms are poisoned by war. Her Royal Highness Princess Wangchang thought twice, and the grass people said goodbye. Chi Chao rejected Gui Dongdong's affection.

Gui Dongdong stood in place in a daze, with mixed feelings in his heart.
