Chapter 123: The Hateful Man
In the cave, the firelight jumped, and Gao Guangning's voice was erratic. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The first emperor saw that Zhang Tianshi refused to help, so he contacted Taiping Dao and promised many conditions, Sun Yuanlang was finally moved, and went to Beijing alone to meet with the first emperor, and the two sides reached an alliance, and the elite masters of the Taiping Taoist sect secretly entered Beijing to assist the first emperor to eliminate the Xiahou valve and other die-hard gate valves."
"At that time, no one knew about Sun Yuanlong's entry into Beijing, and the various valves were still in the dark." Gao Guangning said with a look of regret: "If Your Majesty can wait for a while, when the masters of Taiping Dao arrive in Beijing, instead of just one Sun Yuanlang, the final result may be very different." β
Lu Yun also heard Lu Xin say that Emperor Qianming was too eager to do so, and he would succeed. Hearing Gao Guangning say this, he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Then why did the first emperor do it in advance?" β
"That's what I don't understand." Gao Guangning sighed lightly and said: "It was a day in the winter moon, and the first emperor came back from the queen's mother. At this time, someone secretly asked to see him, so the first emperor asked me to step down and summoned the man alone. β
Lu Yun frowned slightly, he also vaguely remembered that his father came in with a black face and asked people to take him away. Later, when I returned to the queen mother's bedroom, I saw her face full of tears and looked very sad......
Lu Yun knew about the affairs of the inner palace, and it was impossible to get an answer from Gao Guangning. Then he asked in a deep voice, "Who is that person?" β
"I don't know, I don't know," Gao Guangning shook his head and said slowly: "But what can convince the first emperor without evidence is obviously extremely heavy." Count and count, isn't it just those few? β
After a pause, Gao Guangning continued: "After that person left, His Majesty called me back, saying that Xiahou Ba had transferred troops into Beijing and was about to launch a coup d'Γ©tat to replace King Ping!" I advised Your Majesty to verify it before speaking, but Your Majesty firmly believed in what the man said, and it was too late to say it. He decided to strike first, and took the opportunity to pay tribute to the Queen Mother, and used his example as bait to wipe out the Xiahou valve in Bao'en Temple! β
"In order to avoid leaking the news, and in order to minimize the harm to Daxuan, His Majesty only summoned his most trusted Yigan clan at that time, as well as a few courtiers like Sun Yuanlang and me, who seemed to be absolutely unbetrayed, and secretly planned the operation in Bao'en Temple." Gao Guangning said with a sad face: "At that time, all actions were very careful, except for the Praetorian Guards, who were supposed to protect His Majesty, and even the army was not mobilized. Supposedly, you won't alarm those gate valves ......."
"Who knows, the news is still leaked out, Your Majesty's plan to keep it as careful as possible is tantamount to suicide in the eyes of Xiahou Valve and King Heping at this time...... Moreover, Zhang Xuanyi also came to the capital at this time, and he didn't know what method Xiahou Ba and King Heping used, so he actually asked him to join in. On the morning of the incident, my family was kidnapped by the White Ape Society, and they threatened me with my children, mobilized the forbidden army outside the Bao'en Temple, and gave Zhang Xuanyi, the owner of the White Ape Society, Xiahou Valve, Pei Valve, and other great grandmasters the opportunity to sneak in secretly. β
"As a result, in the Bao'en Temple, the first emperor was just about to make a move against Xiahou and King Ping, when more than ten heaven-level great masters suddenly appeared, defeated the five great masters who were loyal to the first emperor, drove away Sun Yuanlang, and finally surrounded the first emperor and forced him to write an edict to abdicate the throne!" Speaking of this, Gao Guangning burst into tears and said: "The first emperor would rather die and ...... on the spot."

It took a while for Lu Yun to come back to his senses from Gao Guangning's description.
Looking at Gao Guangning, who was in tears, Lu Yun's scalp suddenly felt numb. He clearly remembered that the two previous times when he was hit by the Soul Snatcher Finger were all more and more sluggish until they became completely idiots. How could Gao Guangning's expression become more and more vivid?
"Have you regained your senses?" Lu Yun asked coldly.
"This ......" Gao Guangning couldn't help but be stunned.
This stunned alone is enough to show that he has indeed regained his senses!
"How dare you fool us!" Uncle Bao was furious, and he was about to pull out a knife to remove one of Gao Guangning's arms, but was stopped by Lu Yun.
Seeing that he couldn't pretend, Gao Guangning nodded with a wry smile, and said to Lu Yun: "What His Highness used on me just now was the exercise on the Emperor's Extreme Cave Xuangong, right?" β
"You've got a lot of knowledge." Lu Yun acquiesced: "Have you also seen this exercise?" β
"That's not true, this exercise is the supreme mastery of the royal family, how can I see it as a foreign minister?" Gao Guangning said softly: "I just heard that there is a lost soul dementoring method in the Taiping Sutra, which is similar to the method used by His Highness. In addition, when the first emperor secretly met with Sun Yuanlong, the guilty ministers were on the side. I heard Sect Master Sun say that the last volume of the Taiping Sutra was taken by the royal family. I guessed that the "Huangji Cave Xuangong" was the volume of the "Taiping Sutra". β
"You can guess." Lu Yun replied noncommittally, but he believed Gao Guangning's statement in his heart. He remembered that when he used the Soul Snatching Finger on Lu Feng's subordinates in Funiu Mountain, another person once shouted that he was using the Soul Dementoring Dafa on the Taiping Sutra!
"I heard that the Dafa of Soul Dementorship can only be used on people who have not opened up the second vein of Rendu, because once you become a grandmaster, the meridian mind will be ten times stronger, and you will not be afraid of any exercises that interfere with your divine will." Gao Guangning continued to explain Lu Yun's confusion: "The guilty minister was already a grandmaster more than ten years ago, otherwise His Majesty would not let me lead the troops. Although I have been trapped by demons over the years, and my skills have not advanced but retreated, His Highness's ability to control the time of the criminal minister for more than ten breaths also shows that His Highness's skills have far exceeded the ordinary level......"
"Your Highness is not yet seventeen years old this year." Gao Guangning said, looking at Lu Yundao with a fanatical face: "Sure enough, he is a genius of Tianzhong, it is not impossible to avenge the first emperor!" β
Lu Yun couldn't help but glance at Uncle Bao, both of them were a little confused by Gao Guangning's attitude. I don't know if this guy has been affected by the Soul Snatcher Finger, or if he is cheating on his life.
Gao Guangning saw Lu Yun's thoughts at a glance, and said with a sad smile: "I know that Your Highness won't believe me, so the criminal minister wants to pretend to be in the soul Dafa and tell His Highness everything he knows." β
"Would you be so kind?" Uncle Bao said disdainfully: "You dog who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and sells for glory!" β
"Yes, compared to your loyal and courageous Du Mao, I am a dog who deserves death...... Gao Guangning smiled sadly: "The most painful thing in my life is that I killed Emperor Qianming for my family. As he spoke, he looked up at the top of the cave and said with pain in his eyes: "Not only will I be laughed at like a dog in the second half of my life, but I will also completely destroy the hope of our Shu clan to rise......"
"What's the use of saying this now?" Uncle Bao sneered: "Do you dare to say that if you do it all over again, you will be able to die for the first emperor like a man?!" β
"I ......" Gao Guangning lowered his head and looked at Uncle Bao for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "I don't know how many times I have asked myself this question, and the answer is the same...... I will betray the first emperor......"
"That's it, damn traitor!" Uncle Bao spat on Gao Guangning's face with a mouthful of thick phlegm. He hated these traitors, even more than he was ruthless to Xiahou Ba.
"Hehe......" Gao Guangning smiled dryly, and suddenly shed two lines of tears and said: "If Xiahou Ba used my life to threaten him, how good it would be." But he just uses my four children, and my father and mother, I can't do it, I just can't do it......"
As he spoke, Gao Guangning, who had always been calm and composed, actually cried uncontrollably: "Emperor Xian, I can't do it, I really can't do it." You have the grace of knowing me, I am willing to die for you a hundred times, but I can't let my parents, wife and children be buried for you......"
Seeing Gao Guangning's appearance, Uncle Bao's expression also changed, and his face was full of hatred and murderous intent, covered by the guilt that had been buried deep in his heart......
He also has a wife and children......
