Chapter 619: Exchange
Su Yu's face was ugly, he didn't like Gu Zhixing, and as a result, he was taught a lesson by the other party, this feeling was really uncomfortable, he frowned, and glared at Gu Zhixing fiercely: "What about me and the imperial sister, it's not your turn to take care of it, you better take care of yourself, how about your emperor of the Western Sage, what does it have to do with me?" β
He doesn't like to compare himself with others, even if he has the same experience and circumstances, in his opinion, they are two completely different lives.
How good Gu Zhao's life is, even if he doesn't want to admit it, he knows that Gu Zhixing is very capable, and Gu Zhao not only has Gu Zhixing, but also the imperial sister as his master.
Is there any comparison between this?
Gu Zhixing shrugged his shoulders and watched Su Yu enter the imperial mausoleum.
Qingyun stood up behind him: "Lord Wang, this little emperor's attitude is too bad, and he has come here for this trip, are you really not going in?" β
Gu Zhixing raised his eyebrows indifferently, his face was noncommittal: "After all, this is their imperial tomb, and it is reasonable for him not to let me in, and ...... The worse Su Yu's attitude towards me, the better. β
I don't know why, Qingyun felt that his smile was very meaningful, and faintly pinched a cold sweat for Su Yu.
When Su Mian came out of it, it was already noon, her eyes and the tip of her nose were red, and she had obviously cried.
Gu Zhixing's mood also became heavy, and he didn't say anything all the way, just quietly accompanied Su Mian and held her hand.
Su Yu was also in a bad mood, and after returning to the palace, he was not idle, and directly summoned Su Chengyang into the palace to discuss the matter of tracking down Su Rou's whereabouts.
Since the time when Su Rou escaped, a batch had been sent out, but it had been a day and no useful news had been received.
Naturally, they wouldn't know that as soon as Su Rou left the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, she was caught by Gong Yuming.
Su Rou was tied to a pillar by him, her face was gloomy and ugly, she stared at Gong Yuming with gloomy eyes and asked, "Gong Yuming, what do you mean, we have been working together for so long, and now you don't believe me?" β
Gong Yuming's face was also ugly, he was holding a whip in his hand, and he circled around Su Rou twice, and suddenly a whip hit the pillar, and asked with a gloomy face and resentment: "It turns out that the eldest princess also knows that we have been working together for a long time, so why are you lying to me, do you know how many people I lost, and I was almost caught!" β
As soon as she mentioned this, Su Rou was also full of anger, and retorted sharply: "I've already explained, I really didn't lie to you, and I don't know when Su Yu reached an alliance with Su Chengyang, I didn't expect him to come out of the imperial tomb so soon, I always thought that he was still in the imperial tomb for the emperor to guard filial piety, and I was also put on a table, wasn't it?" I was also caught and just escaped. β
Gong Yuming would not easily believe Su Rou anymore.
He remembered Su Rou's previous incident and asked, "Then why are you pretending to be sick?" Don't move with me? Isn't that your plan? I want to take this opportunity to get them to get rid of me once and for all, right? β
Su Rou's eyes dodged, she really couldn't explain the point of pretending to be sick, but she quickly reacted and said directly: "I pretended to be sick just because it was inconvenient for me to come forward at that time, after all, there were many guards." β
Su Rou looked at Gong Yuming's eyes, and explained word by word very seriously: "If I show up with you to rob and kill Su Mian, even if we really succeed at that time, I will be condemned by everyone, and then my reputation will be ruined, and I want to take charge of the imperial power after murdering the imperial sister, it's so easy, isn't it for long-term consideration?" β
She had a point.
However, Gong Yuming was still a little angry, and sneered disdainfully: "You didn't act with me, aren't you also exposed, Su Rou, you are also a mourning dog now, you are useless, you said that it is better for me to kill you, or is it safer to let you go?" You're too ambitious, I don't like it much, ambition means danger. β
"You ......" Su Rou's body tensed, and her face sank when she noticed the smile, and she stared at Gong Yuming vigilantly, "Even if I'm useless, I won't threaten you, will I?" β
Gong Yuming played with the whip in his hand, and his expression was cold: "But if I let you go, it won't do me any good, right?" β
Su Rou knew that he didn't say this to intimidate himself, but really, he really wanted to get rid of himself.
She couldn't help but look forward to it in her heart, and she didn't want to tell Gong Yuming the secrets she knew in exchange for safety.
So she directly assured the other party: "As long as you let me go, I promise that if you go far, I will never threaten you, and if you have anything to use me in the future, I will definitely help you at all costs." β
These words, once Gong Qianxue also spoke to Gong Yuming.
So Gong Yuming didn't believe it at all.
He gave Gong Qianxue so much, gave her a name, gave her a noble identity, and cultivated her step by step, but it turned out that she didn't betray him for Gu Zhixing.
So he doesn't trust women very much, especially women who give promises in danger.
Gong Yuming's expression turned cold, he handed the whip to Ling Liu, the guard behind him, took the dagger glowing with cold light from his hand, and approached Su Rou's neck: "I still think it's safer to kill you, and it's useless to keep people who are useless to me, and you know too many secrets about us, I don't want to take this risk." β
"Wait a minute!" The dagger was about to touch her neck, Su Rou closed her eyes, straightened her body, and quickly spoke, "I have something to say, something very important." β
Gong Yuming's wrist flipped, the dagger turned in one direction, and it was facing Su Rou sideways, and he finally gave Su Rou a little more patience: "Say." β
"I ......" Su Rou gasped sharply, when the danger really came, she clearly knew that she didn't want to die yet, her face turned white with fright, and she said in a trembling voice, "I can help you get what you want, don't you want to dominate the world, I have a way to help you." β
Gong Yuming didn't believe it at all, his eyes were cold: "Don't forget, you are no longer the eldest princess of Beiyuan, how else can you help me?" β
His suspicious gaze made Su Rou uncomfortable.
But Su Rou knew very well that this was her last chance.
She swallowed her saliva and said directly: "When I was arrested, I learned a secret in the Zongren Mansion of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which is the secret of the legendary mountain and river cone of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. β
"And then. What does this have to do with me? Gong Yuming's expression was still very cold, he had also heard of this legend, but he didn't take it seriously, after all, it was just a legend.
If it is true, I am afraid that the emperor before the Northern Yuan Dynasty has already completed this grand ambition, how can it be his turn?
Su Rou swallowed nervously, and Yu Guang only stared at the dagger in Gong Yuming's hand, her face full of vigilance, but she had to slow down and ask softly, "Do you not believe in this legend?" β
Gong Yuming approached a little closer, and his face became more and more cold: "Of course I don't believe it, it's just a legend, I don't believe that a legend can help me, if that's what you just wanted to say, I'm sorry, you wasted an opportunity." β
Su Rou was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out, and she said sharply: "You listen to me, if I finish speaking, and you are still not moved at all, you kill me again, I have no complaints." β
"What else are you trying to say? My patience is limited. Gong Yuming's wrist turned, and the cold cold light of the dagger in his hand shook Su Rou's eyes.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and said quickly: "The mountain and river cone is really not a legend, but it is real, and I know where it is, everyone says that the person who gets the mountain and river cone can master this world's biggest secret, and can let the person who masters it dominate the world, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't believe me, you can try it, right?" After all, there is no harm in it. β
"Do you really know where it is?" Gong Yuming was indeed a little moved, after all, Su Rou had just said something right, even if it was fake, there was no harm.
And the reason why Gong Yuming didn't believe in this legend before was because no one knew about the existence of this thing, so everyone thought it was just a legend.
But now Su Rou said that she knew the existence of this thing, which was indeed a bit tempting for Gong Yuming.
Su Rou breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Gong Yuming was interested, she felt that she still had a chance, and hurriedly promised: "Of course I know, do I dare to lie to you at this time?" β
"Where?" Gong Yuming asked directly, his face was a little anxious.
Su Rou pursed the corners of her mouth, not planning to continue.
Gong Yuming stared at her with a frown of displeasure, his eyes were full of fierce light: "What, what conditions do you want to tell me?" β
Su Rou was honest, staring at Gong Yuming's eyes and smiling: "There are no conditions, but I have to make sure that I am safe, if I tell you directly now, you kill me, and then go to find the mountain and river cone yourself, then what should I do?" β
"So what the hell do you want?" Gong Yuming desperately wanted this secret, after all, he had no better way now, if he really mastered the mountain and river cone and could achieve what he wanted, of course he was willing to try.
Su Rou said directly: "I'll take you to find it, don't worry, I don't have any idea of dominating the world now, I just want to live well." β
Gong Yuming was a little suspicious, and the dagger immediately drove on Su Rou's neck: "You are still going to lie to me now, if you really don't have any ideas, why did you escape like a lost dog?" Obviously, even if you enter the Zongren Mansion, with Su Mian and Su Yu's soft hearts, they will not take your life. β
Gong Yuming is not a naΓ―ve and easy to deceive, especially in the face of Su Rou, he has always felt that he has been teased by this woman.
"Who said they would really let go, if they didn't let me go?" Su Rou was not timid, and met Gong Yuming's suspicious gaze directly, "After all, this is just your guess, and I don't want to risk my life, so I escaped." β
The calmness in Su Rou's eyes made Gong Yuming faintly believe it.
