Chu Huai'an and Zhao Hanzhuo sat face to face on the second floor of the Incense Making Pavilion of the Fang Pavilion, and Chi He, along with the incense maker and the other two people, stood in the room watching them.

After a while, An Ruoshang walked into the house with Chu Chen in her arms, Chu Huai'an stood up with a ghostly face, Chihe subconsciously wanted to block in front of him, and was exhaled by Chu Huai'an.

Chu Huai'an stared at An Ruosheng's face with wide eyes, and then looked at Chu Chen who was holding in her arms after reading it.

I don't know if it was the effect of the soothing incense or the induction of the Chu family's blood relationship, Chu Chen opened his eyes wide and turned his head to look at Chu Huai'an.

Others are not familiar with Chu Lingzhao's appearance when he was young, but Chu Huai'an still remembers clearly that if this child grows up, he will be exactly the same as Chu Lingzhao when he was a child.

Chu Chen blinked his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly grinned, and fluttered his fleshy little hands to ask Chu Huai'an for a hug.

Chu Huai'an felt that he had been greatly impacted, ignored Chu Chen, and asked An Ruoshang for confirmation: "Are you really ...... Imperial sister-in-law? ”

"I've seen Master Hou."

An Ruoshang hugged Chu Chen and saluted Chu Huai'an, her appearance has completely changed, and she can't find a trace of resemblance to before, but this salute reveals the information that she is An Ruoshang.

Chu Huai'an's mood was a little complicated, he personally welcomed the envoys back to Beijing, and he also saw An Ruosheng's burial with his own eyes, but he didn't find the slightest connection between Hu Ren's princess Hu Wanyan and the former queen An Ruosheng.

An Ruoshang leaned down and didn't get up, but fortunately, Zhao Hanzhuo had already explained it to Chu Huai'an before, and now it is not so difficult to accept after seeing the real person.

Chu Huaian stretched out his hand and helped An Ruosheng, and couldn't help but say: "The imperial sister-in-law has good skills, and she actually deceived everyone!" ”

An Ruoshang straightened up and said bitterly: "It's not all a lie, I did walk around the ghost gate at the beginning." ”

On that day, she did not have a difficult birth, but the midwife added medicine, so that she had abdominal pain a few days before the delivery and thought that she was going to give birth, and there was a big fight, but in the end she did not give birth to the child, causing the illusion of dystocia.

The midwife used fake death medicine, which made her breathless and deceived the imperial doctor, but the queen's funeral is a big event, and there are many rules and exquisiteness between the mortuary and the funeral.

The effect of the fake death pill expired on the day she was buried, after waking up, she first subconsciously touched her stomach, and then she heard someone nailing the coffin, she didn't know anything in advance, she was scared to death, she wanted to open her mouth but found that she couldn't make any sound, and her body was very soft.

Then she felt herself being lifted, and the cries of the crowd came into the coffin and became small and weak, and she knew that there were many people out there, but she couldn't do anything about it.

After a long time, when the coffin was placed in the tomb, she heard the sound of the people covering the earth, rustling, like some unknown monster, which was terrifying.

There was a vent in the lid of the coffin, but after being buried in the soil, she soon felt that she could not breathe, perhaps nervous, or maybe it was time for the actual delivery, and her abdomen began to throb with bouts.

It was the most painful time in her life, surrounded by pitch darkness, she lay in a coffin with thin air, not knowing if she would suffocate to death in the next moment, but she still tried hard to give birth to the child in her womb......

Chu Chen liked Chu Huai'an very much, and when Chu Huai'an and An Ruoshang were talking, the fleshy little hand grabbed Chu Huai'an's sleeve and wanted to climb up, but Chu Huai'an pulled the sleeve away mercilessly.

Chu Chen stared at Chu Huai'an for a while, looking up at Chu Huai'an stupidly, his expression a little pitiful.

Chu Huai'an didn't eat his set, and turned his head to look at Chihe with an unkind face: "So you have already planned with the An family, keep this backhand, and want to cause trouble in Yuanzhao Kingdom?" ”

I have to say that this timing is too good, and Su Ke will lead more than 100,000 troops to suppress the border, and there will be another civil strife here, and Yuanzhao will not attack himself at all!

As soon as Chu Huai'an said this, Zhao Hanzhuo frowned, the meaning of Yuanzhao's maintenance in these words was too obvious, I was afraid that it would arouse Chihe's disgust, Zhao Hanzhuo was just about to open his mouth to help find a supplement, and heard Chu Huai'an grit his teeth and said: "You have this little fart kid in your hands and think you can compete with Ben Hou for the throne?" ”

Zhao Hanzhuo: "......"

Fight for the throne? Master Hou, is there anything wrong with your words? Does the throne have anything to do with you?

The time was too urgent, Zhao Hanzhuo and Chu Huai'an were each making calculations, and there was no chance to 'confess' at all, and the slight surprise on Zhao Hanzhuo's face was captured by Chihe, but it became the best cover.

Chihe's heart was slightly relieved, and he replied in Yuanzhao Chinese: "The child is still young, after all, it is much easier to control than Hou Ye, but if Hou Ye is willing to agree to our conditions, we can also help Hou Ye succeed to the throne." ”

"Now are you willing to talk about the conditions? Didn't you just shoot a fart with a stick? Chu Huai'an said sarcastically, he didn't have a good face for Chihe, but Chihe didn't care, but felt that this was his true temperament, so what he showed just now was not a lie.

"If Lord Hou wants to succeed to the throne, he only needs to give us the city north of Yuzhou and thirty percent of Yuanzhao's annual grain."

Chihe calmly said the request, and his tone was almost as natural as he should.

There is no barrier between Xunzhou and Xunzhou, if Yuzhou is ceded out, won't the Hu people want to fight Yuanzhao in the future? Moreover, Hu has more than 100,000 talents, and he wants to get 30% of the grain every year, and he is not afraid of being supported to death? !

Chu Huai'an endured it for a long time but still couldn't hold back, and burst out at Chihe: "Be your mother's daydream!" ”

The green tendons in Chihe's temples jumped, he was not a good-natured temper, but when Chu Huai'an scolded him like this, the flames immediately jumped to his throat.

Chu Huai'an was also a little unable to hold back, he was worried about Su Li these days, and now Chihe was still coming to him to find a beating, and he was sorry for the heroic souls who might have died tragically at the border if he didn't do anything.

The atmosphere was tense, and the sound of a jingling bell was heard in the courtyard again.

Reinforcements have arrived!

Chu Huai'an's eyes lit up, and he immediately drew his long sword, and Chihe quickly raised his hand to block it, and at the same time, the secret guard who had been secretly observing broke through the window.

The situation changed suddenly, Zhao Hanzhuo was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, he saw An Ruoshang running downstairs with the child in his arms, the incense maker was closest to An Ruosheng, and immediately stepped up to follow, Zhao Hanzhuo wanted to chase, but was stopped by one of the Hu people, and took a step slow.

An Ruoshang ran in a hurry, and there was a heart-piercing pain from her pus and ulcer ankle, but she didn't care so much, so she just tried her best to run downstairs.

This journey was extremely long, and inexplicably reminded her of the situation when she gave birth in a black coffin.

No one can help her, and she can only rely on herself to keep her children alive.

Chen'er, my mother won't let anyone hurt you!

An Ruoshang thought silently in her heart, and suddenly Zhao Hanzhuo's warning came from behind: "Be careful! ”

I didn't have time to turn back, my shoulder was pushed hard, my feet were empty, and my body fell forward uncontrollably.

"Ahh

The screams overflowed uncontrollably from her throat, An Ruoshang lifted Chu Chen high, she could fall, but the child couldn't!

The feeling of weightlessness hit, An Ruoshang closed her eyes tightly, but the imaginary stumble did not happen, a strange and familiar smell of ambergris poured into the tip of her nose, and the next moment, her waist tightened, and she felt that her whole person was taken into a generous embrace.

The embrace is extremely wide, enough to carry thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and the people of the world, and the embrace is very small, and it seems that she can only accommodate one person.

The heart that had been adrift for a long time suddenly settled, the tip of the nose was sore, and the chest cavity was filled with sore and swollen emotions, but it was pulled back to reality by the sharp cry.

An Ruoshang hurriedly opened her eyes, hugged Chu Chen into her arms, and coaxed softly: "Chen'er, don't cry, it's okay, don't be afraid!" ”

"Chen'er?"

Chu Lingzhao repeated these two words, and his intuition was wrong, and before he could figure it out, a large group of soldiers and horses had rushed in: "Escort!" ”

Everyone shouted, Chu Lingzhao pulled An Ruoshang to the side, and everyone rushed upstairs to join the battle.

His breath was too strong, An Ruoshang was a little uncomfortable, and wanted to retreat, but the hand on her waist tightened, An Ruoshang looked up in surprise, only to see Chu Lingzhao's tight and cold jaw: "I advise the princess not to act rashly, if she is accidentally injured by my people, it will not be good!" ”

He recognized her as Ku Wanyan, but he hadn't recognized who Ku Wanyan was, and the words were full of cold and hard threats, and the timely rescue just now was not mixed with any superfluous emotions.

An Ruoshang lowered her eyes and retracted her gaze, no longer moving.

After Chu Huai'an and Chihe swords hit each other, they fell into a stalemate, Chihe's strength was very great, after several fights, Chu Huai'an's sword was cut out of a few gaps, and the tiger's mouth was also torn apart, but Chihe didn't get any benefits, his arm was slashed, and there were two more shoe prints on his face.

"Shameless!"

Chihe scolded, realizing that Chu Huai'an had been playing tricks on him before.

Chu Huai'an was angry: "Isn't it shameless for your king to bully other people's orphans and widows?" Isn't it shameless for you to poison people and threaten others to do things for you? Wouldn't it be shameless for you 100,000 people to beat 30,000 people to bully more and less? You don't want a dog's face first, and dare to scold Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will beat you to call your ancestor today! ”

Chu Huai'an retorted without stopping, choking Chihe speechless, but he thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong, and his eyes widened: "How do you know that we sent 100,000 people......

Before he finished speaking, Chu Huai'an's sword momentum suddenly became fierce, and Chihe's answer was a disguised confirmation that there was really a 100,000-strong army pressing the border.

Chihe was forced to retreat, he retreated to the wall, Chu Huai'an poked his sword into the wall, and then pressed towards his neck, he raised his hand to block it with a scimitar, and it was a gladiatorial battle of strength, Chu Huai'an couldn't hold it back, and a group of people suddenly rushed in.

"Master Hou!"

As soon as he heard this, Chu Huai'an knew that it was his own person, and immediately burst out with strength and suppressed Chihe to death: "Come on, stab him to death!" ”

Chihe: "......"

Aren't you people in Yuanzhao the most particular about fair duels?

Chihe's expression distorted, Chu Huai'an sensed that he was about to burst out, grabbed the long sword and turned sideways to avoid it, the long sword rubbed against the blade to make a sharp and piercing sound, and at the same time, sparks burst out.

Chihe was furious, his eyes were blood-red, he roared to kill, his wrist was suddenly entangled in the pink gauze curtain, Chu Huai'an pulled hard, Chihe took two steps back, and the next moment, he was stabbed twice.

At this time, Chu Huai'an changed his words and advised: "Forget it, let's stab it half to death, maybe I can ask something useful in a while." ”

"I'm going to kill you!"

Chihe felt that he had been greatly insulted, he roared in Hu language, turned around and threw himself at Chu Huai'an.

At this time, he was already confused, and he still had a knife in his body, where was Chu Huai'an's opponent?

He didn't want to rush over, Chu Huai'an kindly helped him pull out the knife and insert it back, and before a few converged, Chihe was kicked to the ground by Chu Huai'an covered in blood, but the injury also avoided the vital point everywhere, so that he would not be killed on the spot.

"Tie up this idiot who can't speak human words!"

Chu Huai'an ordered, Chihe stared at him deadly, eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood, Chu Huai'an was about to leave, but when he saw this, he squatted down in front of Chihe, showing a sneer.

"Do you think you can win by bullying you too much?"

Chihe gasped and was silent, of course he believed that Ku Keduo would win, even if the people of Yuanzhao Kingdom knew in advance that there would be an army of 100,000 attacking the city, it would not make any sense.

Because everyone knows that there is no suspense in the battle of 30,000 against 100,000.

They will win, and they will bite off a piece of fat from the fat rabbit of Yuan Zhao!

Chihe's expression said it all, Chu Huai'an squinted at him, his eyes showed pity, and then he raised his hand and patted Chihe's face, and said unusually firmly: "Fool, you are doomed!" ”

"You're ......"

Chihe wanted to refute in Yuanzhao Chinese, but Chu Huaian quickly took off his shoes and stuffed them into his mouth: "What Benhou said, I have never accepted rebuttal!" ”

After saying this, Chu Huai'an walked upstairs with one bare foot, and when he saw Chu Lingzhao, his steps sped up and he saluted: "Meet Your Majesty." ”

"This is not the place to talk." Chu Lingzhao whispered, Chu Huai'an glanced at An Ruoshang and the kid and said, "Let's go to the state capital first, the minister also happened to tell His Majesty about what happened in Xunzhou recently." ”

On the thirteenth day of the lunar month, at noon, the queen mother's bedroom.

The civil and military officials stood in two columns neatly outside the queen mother's bedroom.

Chu Lingzhao has not been to the court for two days, these two days are the queen mother to listen to the government, the hundred officials only know that the eleventh day of the lunar month, the Zhao Lord of Dali Temple was kidnapped by unknown bandits, Chu Lingzhao led the troops to search the whole city for a whole night, this night passed, but everyone did not know where Chu Lingzhao went.

"Queen Mother, where is Your Majesty now, please let the Queen Mother know!"

Gu Yuanfeng asked loudly, Zhao Hanzhuo and Chu Lingzhao were nowhere to be found at this time, the prime minister was seriously ill, and now he, the head of the Tai Academy, had become the one with the highest official rank!

It happened suddenly, Gu Yuanfeng didn't know the inside story, but he intuitively felt that this matter was inseparable from the Queen Mother, so he could only ask the Queen Mother for an explanation here.

The country can't be without a king for a day, if Chu Lingzhao doesn't come back, the entire court is afraid that it will be scattered.

Gu Yuanfeng was anxious, but the Queen Mother was even more anxious than him.

Chu Lingzhao disappeared suddenly, and now she is under strict supervision, and she doesn't know anything about the situation outside the palace, and she is not sure at all if what has happened or not.

If it happens, someone should bring her eldest grandson into the palace to attack the throne, if not, her emperor should also come back to settle accounts with her, what is going on with such an unclear calculation now?

"Please make it clear to the Queen Mother!"

Hundreds of officials seconded the proposal, and the Queen Mother was upset, swept off the teacup and roared: "Get out of the mourning family!" ”

After the roar, it was quiet outside for a moment, the Queen Mother gasped and sat down, raised her hand and kept pressing her temples, her emotions had not completely calmed down, there was a knock on the door of the palace, and then Gu Yuanfeng's gentle voice: "Weichen Gu Yuanfeng asks to see the Queen Mother!" ”

The Queen Mother had heard of Gu Yuanfeng, but she had never been in contact with it, and although she felt that his gentle voice was not offensive, she still didn't want to summon him.

Just as he was about to let him leave, he heard Gu Yuanfeng say: "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty is not in charge of the overall situation in the court, Yuanzhao is afraid of danger, for the sake of Yuanzhao Jiangshan Sheji, please see the Queen Mother!" ”

He didn't say that he wanted to ask about Chu Lingzhao's whereabouts, but for Yuan Zhao, the Queen Mother had less resistance in her heart, and finally nodded reluctantly: "Enter!" ”

When the words fell, the door of the palace was pushed open, Gu Yuanfeng came slowly in a moon-white court dress, there was no sun today, but his whole person was as moist as the wind, with his own fairy energy.

Seeing beautiful things always makes people feel happy, and the Queen Mother's mood is a little better, but after seeing the guards who came in behind Gu Yuanfeng, her face sank again: "You come in alone, let them out!" ”

The Queen Mother ordered, Gu Yuanfeng turned around and waved his hand at the two of them: "It's okay, I'll take care of anything that happens." ”

The two hesitated and retreated and took the door of the hall, the room was quiet, and Gu Yuanfeng bowed to the Queen Mother: "Weichen meets the Queen Mother!" ”

"Lord Gu saw the mourning family, why didn't he kneel?"

The Queen Mother said with a shelf, there was a messy and broken tea set on the ground, and if she knelt down like this, no one's knees could stand it.

Gu Yuanfeng straightened up and looked at the Queen Mother calmly: "If Your Majesty is still alive, the ministers should kneel down to see the Queen Mother, but if Your Majesty has been killed and died, the identity of the Queen Mother will be another story." ”

Boom!

The Queen Mother slapped the table, and the wrinkles on her face trembled slightly from the anger of being stepped on and hurting her feet.

"You are so bold that you dare to speculate about Your Majesty and the mourning family!" The Queen Mother drank hard, if it was in the past, it must be extremely deterrent, but at this critical juncture, it can't scare people at all.

"Your Majesty has been trying to find a way to purge the Qing Dynasty these days, although Weichen is not as relied on as Lord Zhao, but he also knows a little about the inside story, and now His Majesty and Lord Zhao are not clear about life and death, for the safety of Yuanzhao, Weichen has to risk death to say a few words to the Queen Mother!"

"What are you! Dare to talk to the mourners like this? ”

The Queen Mother sneered, not taking Gu Yuanfeng in her eyes at all, Gu Yuanfeng did not feel embarrassed, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "It is indeed nothing that the ministers are humble and light, but the ministers are loyal to Your Majesty and Yuanzhao, and will not do such dirty things as colluding with foreign criminals and mutilating flesh and blood!" ”

This is said bluntly and mercilessly, how could the Queen Mother have thought that one day she would be reprimanded by a courtier like this? Her heart was about to explode, her brain ached, and she began to regret why she had been deceived by this man's voice and appearance to let him in.

"Get out!"

The Queen Mother pointed to the door and said, the whole person was trembling with anger, her face turned blue, maybe Chu Lingzhao couldn't bear to see her here like this, and immediately sent the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her, but Gu Yuanfeng was unmoved.

"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty has always valued filial piety, when he was the prince, he decided to save the province in the morning and dusk, no matter where he was, he loved you very much, after His Majesty ascended the throne, the first thing was to promulgate the law, which listed unfilial piety as a serious crime!"

Gu Yuanfeng mentioned Chu Lingzhao's goodness, his tone was not sharp, but it was extremely firm and could not be refuted.

The Queen Mother was so angry that her brain was dazed before, and before she could slow down and refute, Gu Yuanfeng continued: "Over the years, you have protected the An family, the An family has been doing black-hearted business to accumulate wealth, Your Majesty has turned a blind eye, and even An Wuwu forced the palace, Your Majesty didn't do anything to Concubine An and the Queen Mother, didn't you?" The Queen Mother trampled on Her Majesty's sincere filial piety like this, how could she bear it? ! ”

How can I bear it?!

The last four words Gu Yuanfeng deliberately slowed down and accentuated his tone, with the meaning of questioning.

Tiger poison does not eat children, the relationship between mother and son should be the most trustworthy relationship in the world, but now it has come to this point, and she was forced to ask by an outsider step by step, the queen mother only felt that her face was gloomy, and it was more heartache.

Chu Lingzhao is a child she grew up little by little, even if it comes to this point, she said in her heart that it is impossible if she doesn't care about Chu Lingzhao at all.

But whose fault are they getting to this point? Wasn't it all her good son who forced her?

The emotions that had been suppressed exploded, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but retort: "How can I bear it? It's a great way to endure it! The first emperor gave so much imperial favor to the An family, which was owed by the first emperor and the entire imperial family, and the treasury was always empty during the reign of the first emperor, and most of the wealth collected by the An family was used to fill the treasury, what is there to be dissatisfied with? ”

The Queen Mother asked confidently, maybe in her opinion, what the An family has done over the years is normal, or perhaps, when the ancestors of the An family died on the battlefield, her heart has always been biased towards the An family, and she can no longer look at it with a fair attitude.

It is true that a lot of the wealth collected by the settled family has filled the national treasury, but it is precisely the most dangerous thing for one person to be rich and rival the country, and the prosperity of the people is the foundation of the country's stability and prosperity.

And the An family shook this foundation!

Gu Yuanfeng knew this truth, but at this time, the Queen Mother couldn't listen to his words at all, and continued to refute: "Worry-free and troublesome, that is also forced, Hongyi thinks that the mourning family doesn't know?" He has long wanted to remove the thorn in the eye of the An family! Worry-free can't do anything, that is the sin created by the mourning family for Hongyi, and after going to the Yellow Spring, the mourning family will repay it by itself, but the mourning family has done so much for Hongyi, what did the mourning family get in the end? Yes? ”

The Queen Mother raised her hand and poked her heart to question, as if she had been stabbed in the heart by a knife.

The panic of the past two days crushed her, and Gu Yuanfeng's questioning and reprimand just now crushed her, she forgot about the scheming of the city government, and looked at Gu Yuanfeng like all mothers in the world who were hurt by their sons and asked: "The mourning family is dedicated to him, did he think about the feelings of the mourning family when he poisoned the mourning family?" Did he consider the relationship between mother and son when he imprisoned the mourning family? Our mother and son have come to this point, and they are all caused by him! ”

"Poisoned?" Gu Yuanfeng frowned: "What the Queen Mother said was soft soul incense?" It was used by the Hu people to control Jingzhong, and the Hou Ye had also been poisoned, and it took several days for the Lord of Renxian to develop the antidote, and His Majesty didn't tell you, it should be that you were afraid that you would be frightened, and now the poison on your body should have been solved long ago. ”

The queen mother had been confined in the palace at that time, and only a palace maid named Guan Wu accompanied her, she didn't know about the outside world, and the poison on her body had indeed been solved, but she thought it was the antidote that the palace maid brought her, but now that she thinks about it, it is very wrong.

Because after she took the medicine given to her by the palace maid, Yue Yan came to treat her a few times, if it was really the emperor who made her poison, if the poison was solved, how could Yue Yan not notice it?

But the palace is now the emperor's eyeliner, maybe he is acting?

The Queen Mother's mind was like a mess, and she couldn't figure it out at all, Gu Yuanfeng couldn't help but take a step forward: "Queen Mother, Weichen, please believe that no matter what, Your Majesty will not harm you, please tell Weichen where His Majesty might be now, so that maybe you can save the relationship between you and Your Majesty, as for any misunderstanding between you and Your Majesty, wait for Your Majesty to return safely and then make it clear in person, okay?" ”

Time was too anxious, and Gu Yuanfeng couldn't explain too much to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother covered her head, her headache seemed to be about to explode, and countless chaotic voices came one after another, and finally only condensed into the cold voice of the Royal Forest Army on the night Chu Lingzhao left: "Your Majesty said that if he returns tomorrow, please also ask the Queen Mother to give a reasonable explanation for the unauthorized collection of grain from the remnants of the family!" ”

I can't go back, I can't get it back!

Between her and Hongyi, either he dies or she dies!

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother suddenly calmed down strangely, and she sneered twice: "Hehe! ”

The voice was very low at first, but gradually became louder, hovering over the empty palace, and then Gu Yuanfeng heard her say: "The Hu people have an army of 100,000 people, Yuanzhao will be defeated, the Hu people are too strong, even if it is Hongyi, I have to be at their mercy!" ”

"An army of 100,000? How did the Queen Mother learn about this? ”

Gu Yuanfeng asked, this matter is top secret, only a few people know, the Queen Mother has been guarded, who told her? Is this a confirmation of something?

The Queen Mother ignored Gu Yuanfeng, her mind fell into confusion, she staggered to her bed, and chuckled as she walked: "Today is the fourteenth day of the lunar month, calculate the time, the city, it should be broken......

The Queen Mother's words were full of compassion, as if she had seen the scene of the border gate city broken.

Once the city is broken, thousands of soldiers and displaced people will scream and cry in the flames of war, struggling to survive!

Gu Yuanfeng's face sank, and he pursed his lips and walked out of the hall gate.

"Lord Gu, what did the Queen Mother say?"

"Does Master Gu know where His Majesty has gone?"

"Master Gu......"

As soon as he walked out, the others surrounded him, but Gu Yuanfeng couldn't hear their voices, so he just walked forward quickly.

Hu He said that the Hu people would lead an army of 100,000 to overwhelm the border on the eighth day of the lunar month, and Chu Lingzhao only sent Lu Ji and 300 elite soldiers to rush to the border pass, because the defense line in the northwest could not be empty, in case the Hu people attacked the east and west, Yuanzhao would be finished.

These days, they have been waiting for news from the border gates, and every day is like a year.

They all know that this is too slow, maybe Lu Ji has not yet reached the border pass, the city has been broken, and then wait for the border pass to transmit the news back to Beijing, but I am afraid that the army of the Hu people has already pressed to Yuzhou.

This gamble is too big, once you lose, even if you die, it will be difficult for thousands of souls to rest in peace!

Gu Yuanfeng kept walking forward, and when others didn't get a response, they went back and continued to stand, muttering that Gu Yuanfeng was too cold.

Bypassing the corridor of the Nine Curved Loop, Gu Yuanfeng walked straight towards the imperial study, but from a distance, he saw two guards outside the imperial study falling to the ground, Gu Yuanfeng felt cold in his heart, and hurriedly rushed forward, and took the knife from the waist of one of the guards before entering the house.

He is used to being elegant, except for five years ago when he went to suppress bandits with Chu Huai'an and touched the knife, he has never touched it since, but now the cold blade of the knife has allowed him to find a trace of peace of mind.

Gu Yuanfeng clenched the knife in his hand, took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the imperial study, his pupils shrank.

Hu He was dressed in a black brocade robe, wearing a silver mask, sitting upright in front of the table, holding a jade seal in his hand.

The silver mask was specially made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with no superfluous patterns, and it fit his face perfectly, revealing only a pair of eyes, but it was not blocked below the bridge of his nose.

He shaved and didn't grow it again, wearing a mask like this, at first glance, he looked like the handsome son of the Gu family, who had only been crowned in Kyoto back then!

It's just that the left eye socket is empty, and it's still scary to look at.

"What are you doing?"

Gu Yuanfeng asked in a deep voice, sweating in the palm of the hand holding the knife.

In fact, just sitting in that position is already a big crime of killing the head, Gu Yuanfeng can call someone to arrest Hu He, but for some reason, he didn't do it.

"Come here, see if I look like it."

Hu He beckoned to him and said, his tone was very pleasant, and in a trance, Gu Yuanfeng thought that when he was young, Gu Zhi always liked to fiddle with his dexterity, and if he made something new, he would greet him to visit like this.

The ghost sent the gods, Gu Yuanfeng walked over, and when he was three or two steps away from the table, he stopped and saw clearly what Hu He had just fiddled with.

It was a holy decree, just written, the ink had not yet completely dried, exuding a good smell of ink, the handwriting was exactly the same as what Chu Lingzhao had written, there was no difference in the slightest, and even the majesty of the emperor in that handwriting was not badly expressed.

Hu people's army pressed the border, the country was in danger, Guogong recommended the army junior general Lu Ji to lead the troops to reinforce, this person is Lu Guogong and the town general Lu Ji's cronies, I should also believe it, so do you, now I personally ordered, 80,000 hussars, obey Lu Zhi's order, immediately rushed to the north of the border pass to reinforce!

"How dare you forge a holy decree!"

After Gu Yuanfeng finished reading the content of the holy decree, he couldn't suppress his shock, Hu He hooked his lips, put the holy decree aside, took a new one, dipped his pen in ink and wrote it again.

"Stop!"

Gu Yuanfeng raised his knife and pointed at Hu He, stopped it coldly, Hu He raised his head, and the remaining eye was fixed on Gu Yuanfeng's body like a cold hook.

"Stop? Didn't you come here from afar with the same intention as me? ”

Hu He sneered at Gu Yuanfeng's thoughts, that's right, after talking to the Queen Mother, the balance in Gu Yuanfeng's heart shifted to Hu He's side.

Except for Lu Ji, he was the only person who had contact with Gu Jiong, although he was young at the time, he subconsciously always felt that Gu Jiong had the blood of the Gu family in his bones, which would never change even after a thousand tempering!

"From afar, ......" Hu He called Gu Yuanfeng's words again, with a sigh in his tone, as if he had gone back to many years ago, he was still that extremely talented and a little bad boy.

"You're going to believe me, aren't you?"

He asked, with a smile in his tone, like the warm sun of March, easily breaking through people's defenses......
