Tang Tianyou eight years, Gaoyi.

Li Cunmiao relied on the clever plan given by Lin Nuohua to defeat the 500,000 army led by Zhu Wen in Gaoyi. Since then, the separatist forces have no power to resist. However, Lin Nuohua, who was supposed to continue to go south with the army, disappeared out of thin air as if he appeared out of thin air.

disappeared together, as well as the general we were waiting for, Gu Yanxun.

Speaking of this, Yu Tianfeng actually showed a meaningful smile, adding a few wisps of fresh breeze to this already somewhat dark and restless night.

Fifth Illness then got up and walked to the river, stirred the gurgling river with his hands, and said to Gu Xing: "They left that night, and there was no news before, and no one knows where they went. After that, Li Cunmiao didn't ask for the first time, but just placed us in the rear and no longer reused. ”

Yu Tianfeng sighed lightly when he heard this, as if he had a little complaint about the two of them disappearing out of thin air that day, but he also drifted away with the wind.

Without waiting for Gu Xing to continue speaking, Yu Tianfeng continued: "It doesn't hurt that these two people disappear, or it is not so important for the entire battle situation. At this time, Li Cunmiao, like a wild horse, lost control, and continued to attack Yandi with the accumulated arrogance, and captured Liu Rengong back to Taiyuan alive. Completed one of the things assigned by his father Li Keyong on his deathbed. ”

At that time, Li Cunmiao was so high-spirited and invincible. Even without the assistance of Lin Nuohua and Gu Yanxun, he is still so proud of the world and a king.

Until one day nine years later, General Gu actually came back, but Lin Nuohua did not come back with him, but took the first step and took General Gu's family to Luoyang.

As for why I went to Luoyang, I don't know, but because of the return of General Gu, Li Cunqiao Longyan Dayue promoted him to General Yunlu, from the three grades, to show his kindness.

But at that time, Li Cunxuan was already suspicious of Gu Yanxun and Lin Nuohua's parting, although he did not say it, but he secretly collected information and intended to do that wrong. In his opinion, the two of them must have other plans to say goodbye without saying goodbye, just like Zhu Wen back then, they can only kill them quickly.

In the same year, Li Cunmiao, assisted by General Gu, broke the Khitan soldiers and drove Yelu Abaoji back to the north. In the 20th year of Tianyu to defeat the Later Liang, unify the north, in April, in Weizhou called the emperor, the country name is Tang, and then moved the capital to Luoyang, the year name "Tongguang", there is now the Later Tang Dynasty.

After the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, a hundred wastes were waiting to be revived, Li Cunqiao was worried that the Khitan was about to move, so it seemed to be reused, but in fact it was derogatory, and Gu Yanxun was sent to the border of Mobei. and canonized his mother as Mrs. Decree in Luoyang, intended to appease people's hearts.

At this point, Yu Tianfeng stopped talking, as if he knew little about what happened later, or he didn't dare to speculate anymore if he didn't know anything about it.

After listening to the words of the two, Gu Xing fell into deep thought, and even the river splashed rapidly, and he didn't notice that his boots were wet. The two of them were a little tired, sitting on the left and right to look back at their waking sides, and they also fell into silence, silent in this night, silently.

Gu Xing retracted his silent thoughts and asked, "Then the two uncles don't know anything about what has happened in the past nine years?" ”

At this time, the two did not look at each other, but they still tacitly agreed in unison, "I don't know, General Gu didn't mention it after he returned, and as subordinates, it is not easy for me to ask, but your mother later mentioned only a few words, but the words are not clear and there is no evidence." ”

"What did you say?" Gu Xing's words were calm, but they were full of unquestionable tone, which made the two of them feel a pang in their hearts.

"It's just a trivial matter of fighting the sword rivers and lakes back then, I met some people and did some things." Seeing that Yu Tianfeng didn't mean to speak, the fifth disease had to continue.

"Who did you know? What did you do? Didn't mention it at all? Gu Xing knew that he had no solution, but he still had to get to the bottom of it.

At this time, the two weathered old men smiled bitterly and looked at each other speechlessly.

Gu Xing didn't expect a result, but he was still a little disappointed, got up and took off his boots, and slowly walked into the river. The turbulent river touched his calf, and the huge impact seemed to take Gu Xing away.

But the ensuing coldness made Gu Xing more sober than ever.

"That's it, since we are reunited, it is the arrangement that should be arranged in fate, and we will complete the unfinished business in accordance with the entrustment of A-Niang back then, and the mission carried by the two uncles." Gu Xing turned to look at the two old men who were sitting on the ground in vain, and said flatly.

The two old men, who were a little lonely, got up suddenly, ignoring the wet boots and clothes of the river, rushed into the middle and pressed Gu Xing's shoulders left and right, a little moved. They may know more about the secrets, but they may never tell Gu Xing.

But if you do it, you can dig up more, more of the past.

The fifth disease was already overjoyed, and couldn't help but say: "Then my years of planning can come in handy." It is just through this 'blood sacrifice to do something big'. ”

Yu Tianfeng nodded solemnly, "My deployment can also be moved." ”

Gu Xing suddenly wanted to cry, but he had to suppress the sadness in his heart, he didn't know what the two old men had experienced over the years, and what they had done to wait for his appearance, but judging from their current demeanor, it seemed that after doing their best this time, they would be able to get relief.

Maybe they are ashamed of what happened back then, and as the only remaining retainers of the Gu Mansion, they can only avenge their family and close their eyes with peace of mind when they die.

This may be the last time in this life, for the sake of their commitment, they will do their best, even if they die.

At this time, Gu Xing couldn't understand this kind of emotion rooted in flesh and bones, and even resisted a little, but many years later, when he also had a group of brothers who were born and died, and he was between life and death on the battlefield, he looked back and understood the long-cherished wish of the two old men tonight.

This is a determination without hesitation, just like the promise made when he received Lin Nuohua's entrustment.

Some people, just a few faces, fleeting. Some people, once in a while, stop in your words. There are some people who have never spoken, but they are imprinted into your heart the moment they appear. Since then, I dare not mention it or forget it.

Gu Xing sighed, tonight is destined to be sleepless.

When Gu Xing walked ashore from the river and walked slowly towards the capital Luoyang, Yu Tianfeng didn't come and said, "Young master, one day in the future, you will know everything, and at that time, you will understand Novartis's good intentions." ”

Gu Xing raised his hand and waved, motioning for the two to follow, but did not look back. The two old men looked at Gu Xing's distant back, a little stunned. But in the end, he didn't say a word, and quickly followed.

As if thinking of something, Gu Xing waited for the two of them to follow and stopped, turned around and smiled: "The two uncles are relieved, if there is anything I need to do, just tell me." Just now, what's next, how do we wait? ”

At this time, Gu Xing's eyes were a little less cynical and cowardly, replaced by the determination to complete the unfinished business of the year and the determination to take revenge.

The two old men smiled similarly and said in unison: "Then you have to find someone to trouble first." ”

Gu Xing seemed to think of something, and said helplessly: "Will he have a hard time?" ”

The fifth said angrily, "Even if there are thousands of hardships, you can't break your word and do such a thing that loses your conscience." After all, if it weren't for him, maybe the general wouldn't have died. ”

Gu Xing remembered the heart-to-heart words with the old man on the edge of the cliff outside the Gaofu the night before the Duanyang Festival, the old man said that there was something that had to be done and needed to be done in person, was it just to be able to atone for his sins one day?

Thinking of this, Gu Xing's eyes became more and more indifferent, and he nodded and said, "People are not finished, don't stop the cup." After speaking, he turned around and continued to walk forward, leaving behind him no longer have half a bit of nostalgia.

Now that we know the past, we have to take the responsibility that we should bear, which is a natural fate, not imposed by anyone, but a path of growth that we have to practice since birth.

Even though this road is full of blood and thorns, there is no fear and no hesitation.

However, Lingling, who left first, did not return to the Heavenly Hell Division, but rushed to Mingyue Tower non-stop after entering the city. And Mo Ye, who was supposed to return to Mingyue Tower to resume his life, pretended to go to the door to worship Gao Chengying, and hurriedly walked in the direction of Xiaque Road.

And the young man in the green shirt, after leaving the Red Dragon Road, immediately ran towards the Mingyue Tower, wanting to inform the Confucian scholars of what he saw here as soon as possible, so as to win more attention and benefits.

Xu was in a hurry to return to Mingyue Tower, and relaxed his vigilance against the surrounding situation, and when he walked over the corner of the alleyway, he was attacked by the beggar from the dark and fainted.

At this moment, it is a strange thing that there are beggars here, if it weren't for the fact that the young man in the green shirt had just been knocked unconscious not long ago, and he was eager to take credit, how could he be reaped by others. However, the Confucian sat and waited for the young man in the green shirt to return, and when he was at a loss, he heard that someone had climbed over the wall to enter, so he wanted to go forward to find out.

But I heard Nalan's voice coming from the second floor, "There's nothing for you here, let's retreat first." ”

The Confucian stiffened on the spot, and then left in a huff. When the Confucian priest left, he wanted to check who was coming, but he only saw a graceful woman jumping to the second floor in a strong suit, pushing the door and disappearing.

There was no lantern on the second floor, and no one was talking to each other, so the Confucian scholars did not dare to stay in this place, so they could only leave quickly. After walking out, the Confucian raised his hand, and a man in black jumped forward, knelt on one knee, and waited for orders.

The Confucian leaned over and whispered a few words in the man's ear, and the man clenched his fists and disappeared into the night.

At this time, the Confucian scholar was full of doubts in his heart, and secretly thought to himself, "It turns out that the landlord also sent someone to go, but this person has returned, could it be that there is something wrong with the 'Xuan Snake'?" ”

The young man in green shirt, who was supposed to return, was knocked out by the beggar and was put on his shoulder, and walked to a place that Confucian scholars were familiar with every day. The building was extremely luxurious, with the air of a prince and nobleman, and there was a rickety old man looking over the railing, muttering, "It's over tonight, and it will continue tomorrow." ”

With that, he turned around and walked into the secret room behind him and disappeared.

At this time, in the second floor of Mingyue Building, a silver-white man with long hair sat in front of the table, holding a tea cup, sipping lightly, and did not look at the visitor. And the woman who disappeared in front of the Confucian scholar at a glance was standing in front of the man at this time, without saying a word.

The silver-white long-haired man put the tea cup in his hand lightly before he spoke: "There is no one here, so I can say it." ”

The woman smiled, "The landlord is wise, and this trip has been fruitful." The woman told the experience of following Gu Xing and the others one by one, and told the story of what she saw and heard in the courtyard behind the Guanhai Pavilion.

The silver-white man with long hair didn't ask, and when the woman finished speaking, he whispered, "Got it." ”

The woman seemed unwilling, and hurriedly asked, "Then what to do next?" ”

The silver-white long-haired man tugged at the corners of his mouth, stared out the window and said casually, "Wait." ”

The woman seemed to have thought of something, or understood something, nodded slightly, then took her leave with a fist and pushed the door out. The man didn't stop him, but just withdrew his gaze thoughtfully.

After the woman walked away, the silver-white long-haired man said to himself, "Are you going to fall off?" ”

At this time, on a high platform in Luoyang City, there was also a person looking in the direction of Chilong Road, and a thin old man beside him was a little restless by the night wind in early summer.

After listening to the old man's words just now, the man propped up the edge of the high platform with both hands and said softly, "It's time to fall." The old man beside him stiffened when he heard this, and then said, "Take the order." ”

Just as he was about to retreat and leave, the man suddenly withdrew his gaze and looked at the old man beside him, "Wang itch, don't lose it." ”

The old man named Wang Itch was the chief eunuch of the Inner Palace, and that man was naturally Li Cunxuan, who had been repeatedly mentioned by the Fifth Disease and Yu Tianfeng just now, but he had lost the vigor of the year at this time, but became more and more gloomy.

It's just that this Luoyang chess game, which has been laid out for decades, will set off what kind of waves will it set off?
