I've always heard that people who leave the country are recruiting troops nearby. This matter is very unreasonable, since it is said that he came to negotiate, then he should come for peace. Not to mention that the negotiation they had in the court had no effect at all, and they were still forming an army in private, so it can be seen that they had no intention of peace talks when they left the country.

Not only that, Yue Liguo came to Dachu this time, it may not be for the purpose of border demarcation, according to the current situation, it seems that he wants to take Dachu all in his pocket.

The location of the country is far to the north, the weather is dry, and there is a lot of dust. It is precisely because the land is vast and sparsely populated, that the heavens have also given them a very precious resource - gemstones. All along, they have been doing business with Da Chu, and they have used gemstones.

Compared with Yue Liguo, Dachu is a land of fish and rice. Bordered by the sea in the east and mountains in the west, the land is fertile, and the four seasons are distinct throughout the year. Because the land is fertile, there are all kinds of vegetables and fruits that grow in the Great Chu Kingdom. These are luxuries for those who leave the country.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Yue Liguo will be eyeing Da Chu. 、

Gu Xici packed his bags, and under the escort of General Pingyuan, he walked out of the gate of Kyoto.

It wasn't until he saw Gu Xici's figure disappear below the horizon that General Pingyuan left with all the soldiers.

It seems that General Pingyuan already hates himself to the core, otherwise there is no need to target her everywhere.

Gu Xici rode his little white horse, and walked towards Yue Liguo alone.

At this time, above the Kyoto Castle Tower, two figures were whispering.

"Sister, she really didn't come back this time, did she?" Looking at Gu Xiqi's back, Gu Huaqing was still a little scared.

Gu Wanqing listened to Gu Huaqing's words, and couldn't help sneering, she was really an unsuccessful guy, but there was a look of comfort on her face: "Don't worry, she can't go well this time." Besides, aren't you supposed to be strong? As long as you become strong enough, then only she is afraid of you in front of her, so how can you be afraid of her? ”

"But......" Gu Huaqing was excited, and the injury on his face was involved. The slap mark that Gu Xici left on her face before is still there, and it seems to remind her not to be too presumptuous all the time, "Sister, you have also seen it, that Gu Xici is now like a different person, and he dares to show his aunt and you in front of everyone, let alone me!" And you see, I can't take her slap at all! ”

Gu Huaqing remembered the time when he was in the carriage and was threatened with a dagger by Gu Xici. But no matter how many times she said this, Gu Wanqing didn't believe it.

"If you can't beat it on the surface, can't you do it secretly?" Gu Wanqing looked at her sister and couldn't help but scold, "I really don't know how your brain grows, I don't know why you will be killed sooner or later if you are so stupid!" ”

Gu Wanqing didn't bother to pay attention to her, and turned to leave.

Gu Huaqing, who was scolded, was full of resentment in her eyes, but despite this, she could only follow behind Gu Wanqing and serve like a maid.

"Xiaoxue!"

In a sealed stone room, in front of you is a long stone corridor with torches planted on both sides of the corridor, illuminating the road ahead.

Suddenly, an old voice came from the side of the hallway.

"Hey......" Gu Xici was stunned, standing in place and not knowing whether to continue walking.

Xiaoxue was her real name in her previous life, and she subconsciously responded. But when the words came out, she realized whether Gu Xici's identity now had the same name as her.

"Come here yet! What are you doing standing there stupidly! Suddenly, a white shadow appeared at the end of the corridor, took her hand directly, and led her to the stone chamber at the back of the corridor.

Gu Xici couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, this person's name is the same as her own, otherwise the response is wrong, and her identity will be exposed.

"The subordinates are here." Gu Xici knelt on the ground, and in front of her was a black tent, in which sat a person, she could only see an outline outside, and she couldn't see the specific appearance of the person.

"It's been more than ten years since you entered the valley at the age of four!" The valley lord's voice came through the layer of gauze, cold and full of oppression. Kneeling below, Gu Xici only felt a chill down his spine.

"Thanks to the care of the valley master, since I entered the valley at the age of four, I have always regarded the Netherworld Valley as my own home, and I am willing to do my best for the valley lord and die." Gu Xici lowered his head, and while saying fearless words, he secretly said "bah, bah, bah" in his heart.

"Hahaha, well, it's worthy of being a child raised in the Netherworld, but it's different from ordinary people!" The valley lord smiled and said, "You know, I would never bring outsiders into this secret room. ”

Gu Xici listened, his eyes rolled in his sockets, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, who was the woman in white just now? Could it be that it is the good relationship of the valley master? But isn't it good to bring the good ones to the mausoleum of their ex-wife?

"Thank you for your mercy!" Gu Xici shouted.

"Since we are all a family, then we don't talk about two families, I have one thing I need you to do." The valley lord sat inside and said leisurely, "This matter is very simple for you, are you willing to do it?" ”

"But according to the orders of the valley master, his subordinates will do their best." It was the first time Gu Xici had seen it, and he had to make a military order before telling him about the content of the mission. If she waits for the valley lord to let her die, where should she run out faster? Gu Xici couldn't help but think in his heart.

"You know, King Zhao Chu Jin is in the prison of Yue Liguo at this time!" The valley lord's eyes were staring at Gu Xici, and he said differently.

"Yes." Hearing Chu Jin's name, Gu Xici's eyes couldn't help but light up. However, because she kept her head down, the valley lord did not find the clue.

"My order to you is not to save him."

"What?" Gu Xici raised his head suddenly, looked at the curtain of black gauze, and was shocked to realize that he had just lost his temper, and immediately lowered his head again, "Xiaoxue doesn't understand what the valley master means. Before, the valley lord ordered Xiaoxue to marry King Zhao to spy on intelligence, but now he asked Xiaoxue not to save him, and the mission after that ......"

"He's no longer useful to us, and his previous mission is null and void." The valley lord said, and suddenly as if he had arrived first, he paused and asked, "You shouldn't be reluctant, right?" ”

"Nothing!"

"It's best if you don't have reluctance, I like to see you look cold-blooded and ruthless." A sneer came from the black tent, and Gu Xici got goosebumps when he heard it.

"Then this time the valley master specially asked Xiaoxue to come, is there any big task to ask his subordinates?"

Gu Xici didn't quite understand, if it was just for Chu Jin's matter, he could have told Xiaohong about the matter and let people pass the word to him, so why did he pull himself so far away from the country and specially summon him?

"No, I called you this time, I haven't seen you for a long time, I want to see you!" The valley lord sighed, "This is the second time I have seen you, and the first time was when you entered the valley, you should have lost your impression for a long time." ”

"That ......"

"It's okay, you can step back first."

Gu Xici left the secret room quickly. She didn't expect that this time she came all the way to see her? Isn't this a bit too big?

"Valley Lord, what do you think ......" The woman in white standing beside the Valley Lord suddenly turned into a man's voice.

"Let's do it first, I don't see anything wrong yet."

"So you mean you agreed?" There was some surprise in the man's voice, and he looked at the valley lord and said.

"Did I say that?" The valley lord raised his eyes slightly, and closed his eyes again, "Don't make any claims about this matter, only if she really makes some achievements, I can really bring her up." ”

"Yes, according to Bishop Valley."

Gu Xici walked out quickly, and suddenly a gust of wind passed by his side, and the woman in white blocked in front of him.

Although he didn't see this woman's face, Gu Xici knew that she was the woman who stood beside the valley master before.

"Is there anything else to do with the valley master?" Gu Xici stood still and asked.

"Hmph, valley master, you know the valley master, can't the master look for you?" The woman's face was disgusted, and she said coquettishly.

"What? Are you a thousand-faced gentleman? Gu Xici couldn't help but be surprised, "But you, aren't you a woman?" Ah or are you a woman, and the last time you came to see me, you deliberately pretended to be a man? ”

I met a thousand faces a few times before, and they were all men with different appearances. She always thought that Qianmian Langjun must be a man, but it was not clear what he looked like. But she didn't expect that Qianmian Langjun could turn into a woman and appear in front of her, and looking at this figure, it really doesn't look like a pretend!

Thousand-faced Langjun rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand and rubbed Gu Xici's face, "Apprentice, you are stupid!" You said that you are right, is it all nonsense! ”

Gu Xici's face was ravaged by her, and he couldn't help but lean back slightly.

"So you're a man or a woman!" Gu Xi asked puzzled.

"Then, I'll open my mind to you and touch it, you touch it, and then tell me if it's a man or a woman!" As he spoke, Qianmian Langjun took Gu Xici's hand and put it on his chest.

"Ah......" Gu Xici felt her master's magnificent chest muscles, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it was really a thousand-faced Langjun, even if she was a woman, she was so material, "So why do you want to dress like this, master?" ”

"It's easier to do." Qianmian Langjun sorted out his clothes, took out a note from his waist, and handed it to Gu Xici, "Okay, let's get down to business, this is the map of the prison of Yueli Country, and I have marked the specific location of King Zhao for you." ”

Gu Xici took the map that Qianmian Langjun gave him, with a puzzled expression.

"But didn't the valley master just say that he wouldn't let me save him?" Gu Xici opened the map and silently memorized every route on the map.

"No, it's not for you to save him, it's for you to kill him." Qianmian Langjun said coldly.

"This is what the valley lord asked you to bring me?" Gu Xici frowned.

"No, I gave you this task."

"Why?" Gu Xi was puzzled, did Thousand-faced Langjun and Chu Jin have a festival before? What kind of festival did it make Qianmian Langjun move the murderous thought.

"This mission is not for me, but for yourself." Thousand-faced Langjun smiled.

"Me? Why should I kill him? ”

"Silly girl, if you don't kill him, isn't it possible that you are still waiting for him to kill you?" Qianmian Langjun looked at Gu Xici and shook his head, "Could it be that you think that every time you do a mission, he happens to appear by your side?" And every time you meet, you're so close that you can't see that the person in front of you is you, if he's a fool? ”

The words of the thousand-faced Langjun made Gu Xici shocked, and finally let her see the reality clearly.

She always thought that she was hiding it well, so Chu Jin didn't know that he was the one who did these things. Or because of her subjective consciousness, she directly blocked the possibility that Chu Jin had already recognized her and pretended not to know. Yes, who is Chu Jin, how can he not even see this thing?

"Apprentice, you can trust anyone, but the only people you can't trust are the people in the royal family. Do you think, since ancient times, for the sake of the throne, how many people have killed their brothers and fathers, not to mention marrying the daughters of officials for the sake of power, they can no longer be called people, they only live for themselves. In order to survive, they can do anything, and anyone can sell them. ”

Somehow, Qianmian Langjun's words made Gu Xici's heart a little sore, as if someone had gently slashed her heart with a knife, and someone had pulled it open again, "So ......"

"So for the safety of your own life, the teacher thinks that you should seize this opportunity and kill Chu Jin to prevent future troubles." Qianmian Langjun said with a smile, "If you do this well, it will definitely be regarded as a great achievement in the valley master, and when the time comes, the valley lord will not only not blame you, but will also reward you!" ”

Gu Xici lowered his head, and there were two villains fighting in his mind. One shouted that what Langjun said was true, while the other was also protesting that Chu Jin was not like that.

"By the way, the guards in the prison will change their guards about once a stick of incense, as long as you sneak in while they are changing guards, the guards inside should not be difficult for you at all." Thousand-faced Langjun explained.

Gu Xici couldn't help frowning, looking at the map in his hand, a little puzzled in his heart. It stands to reason that Chu Jin, as the prince of the Great Chu State, should be a proton role in the Yue Li Kingdom, even if he is not good at eating and drinking, he should also send more people to his side to prevent him from escaping, how to look at this picture, the Yue Li Country does not seem to send too many troops to guard him!

Seeing that Gu Xici was still looking at the map, Qianmian Langjun asked intimately: "Little apprentice, is there anything else you haven't understood?" ”

Gu Xici shook his head, put the map into his clothes, and said, "No, it's clear and clear." ”

Qianmian Langjun nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, when are you going to go?" ”

"Tonight." Gu Xici did not hesitate at all.

She had already made a decision, even if it was really like what Qianmian Langjun said, Chu Jin had been deceiving herself from beginning to end, Gu Xici still wanted to give it a try. She also wanted to gamble again, and betting on Chu Jin was different for herself.

"Tonight? I can't see that the little girl is still so confident! Qianmian Langjun was surprised, "Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry!" He took out a key from his arms and handed it to Gu Xici.

"Well, I've seen the map, so it shouldn't be a problem." Gu Xici smiled.

It must have been cold and wet in the cell, and the food was all leftovers. Chu Jin had grown up in a greenhouse since he was a child, and he had never suffered like this. If she was a minute late, Chu Jin would have to suffer one more day in that cell.

She knew in her heart that she was not sure about this strange place at all. But for the sake of that person, she wanted to give it a go. Rather than wasting time by thinking and thinking here, it is better to act on the opportunity by surprise.

As for how to explain this matter to the valley lord in the future, Gu Xici felt that there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, and he would talk about it later.
