Because her heart is not quiet these days, she often dreams of Gu Chengen who is covered in blood at night, so Mo Zhiyan took the maid to Qingshui Temple in a carriage this afternoon to incense, and listened to the monks talk about Zen and delayed a lot of time, so she came back when it was dark.

Raising her hand to lift the curtain, Mo Zhiyan was about to see where she went, but she saw a man wearing a half-mask in front of her, who was staggering towards him holding a wine jar.

He was dressed in blue, staggered, and then "Bang!" With a thud, he fell next to Mo Zhiyan's carriage.

This suddenly lay down, so startled that the coachman quickly tightened the reins, and shouted: "Die to the side, bad thing!" ”

After scolding, the coachman got out of the car and dragged the man aside very violently.

Mo Zhiyan was just about to drop the curtain of the car, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the emerald wrench on the man's finger, and her eyes trembled.

Looking at the figure of the man and the exposed half of his face, the "inner demon" she had just driven away at Kiyomizu Temple had returned.

In her heart, she shouted with teeth and claws.

Even if you can't see your complete face, but the blue clothes, the wrench, and the angular chin, if it's not Gu Chengen, who is it?

Since she left Gu Chengen, although she has never taken the initiative to find out about him, his every move, ups and downs, has always reached her ears from the mouths of others.

On June 8, she will never forget the day she left the Gu family.

After more than a month, she never expected to see him here.

When she heard that the Gu family was destroyed that day, she cried silently all night.

She didn't dare to think that this person who had been ordered to be beheaded by the old emperor was still alive.

Not only alive, but also dare to walk in this capital so blatantly, this is really incredible!

After the coachman left Gu Chengen behind, he had to hold the reins and continue to go back to Mo's house when he got back into the carriage.

Mo Zhiyan looked at Gu Chengen, who was lying unconscious on the ground, in a daze, and her heart swelled with pain that she had not seen for a long time.

"Da Da Da", as soon as the carriage started, Mo Zhiyan suddenly shouted to the coachman: "Stop!" ”

The coachman didn't know why Mo Zhiyan suddenly shouted to stop, but he immediately listened to the order, grabbed the reins of the horse, and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Mo Zhiyan bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Go back and help that person to the carriage." ”

"Huh?" The coachman looked at Mo Zhiyan in surprise, thinking that he had misheard: "Miss, what did you say?" ”

Mo Zhiyan opened her mouth, and didn't know how to explain to the coachman for a while, so she could only throw off the curtain directly, get out of the car and walk to Gu Chengen's side.

As soon as I got closer, I was greeted by a strong smell of alcohol.

Putting Gu Chengen's arm on her shoulder, she stood up and walked towards the carriage.

Seeing this, the coachman immediately helped Mo Zhiyan.

After Gu Chengen got into the carriage and lay down, the coachman looked embarrassed: "Miss, do you recognize this person?" If we bring the stranger back to the house, ...... him."

This is not just a stranger, but also a strange man, so the coachman can't ask too clearly, so he can only stop talking.

Mo Zhiyan pursed her lips and said slowly: "This is a friend of mine, find an inn nearby." ”

She has reconciled with Gu Chengen, and it is impossible to bring Gu Chengen back to the Mo family.

Moreover, Gu Chengen is a dead man in the eyes of everyone.

It is impossible for a dead person to appear in everyone's sight, let alone the Mo family.

Otherwise, it will inevitably cause an uproar.

And Mo Zhiyan couldn't bear to let Gu Chengen lie on the cold ground like that, if she was sick, it was a trivial matter, in case she was recognized and her identity was exposed, the consequences could be imagined.

"Yes." The doubts in the coachman's eyes dissipated, so he didn't think much about it, so he pulled Gu Chengen to find an inn.

Mo Zhiyan asked the coachman to go back to the house first, and then carried Gu Chengen into the inn, paid the silver and walked upstairs.

Putting Gu Chengen on the bed, Mo Zhiyan soaked the handkerchief in water and began to wipe Gu Chengen's face little by little.

Gu Chengen was in a daze, feeling a soft hand caressing his face, he subconsciously grabbed Mo Zhiyan's arm, and then pulled her into his arms.

Mo Zhiyan's body shook, and she reflexively pushed Gu Chengen away.

Subconsciously, Gu Chengen may have sensed that this gentle body was a woman.

He hugged Mo Zhiyan tightly and smelled the familiar fragrance emanating from her.

This faint fragrance makes Gu Chengen feel very comfortable.

With his eyes closed, he turned over and pressed Mo Zhiyan under him and kissed her on the lips.

After Qi Die's death, except for Yue Yunpeng, a reliable subordinate, there was no one else to rely on.

Qi Die died yesterday, but after staying in an empty room all day, he would always unconsciously think of Qi Die, who had Gu Jinli's look-like face, but was more obedient and sensible than Gu Jinli.

She smiled softly at him, she fed and clothed him, and they snuggled up to each other every night to keep warm......

When Qi Die was alive, he never thought that she would leave him one day.

The moment Qi Die died, he didn't have heartache.

is just a chess piece planted by Chen Zexuan's side, an informant who monitors his every move, and her death is self-inflicted and deserved.

However, when night fell and he was lying alone on the bed, he found that it seemed that the whole room was full of Qi Die's shadow flickering in front of his eyes.

There is also the smell of Qi butterflies everywhere, on pillows, quilts, and on my own clothes......

His heart was very blocked, so he took advantage of Yue Yunpeng's inattention, slipped out of the back door and went to the restaurant to get drunk.

borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, he killed the four jars of wine at once, and ran out of the restaurant in a delirious situation.

God made a joke, and let him meet Li Mo Zhiyan on the side of the road......

"Let go of me!" Struggling hard, Mo Zhiyan looked flustered and blushed: "Gu Chengen, you let go of me!" ”

Gu Chengen's head was already in chaos at this time, he couldn't open his eyes, and he couldn't hear the sound clearly.

Since Qi Die's death, there has been a fire burning in his heart.

And under the influence of alcohol, this fire burned more and more violently.

He urgently needs an outlet to release his worries, resentment, pressure, frustration, and loneliness......

For the people under him, he doesn't know who it is, but he doesn't reject ......

The clothes on her body were ripped off by Gu Chengen, and Mo Zhiyan's heart was about to jump out, "Gu Chengen, you can't ......"

Before she could finish speaking, her words were blocked by Gu Chengen again.

The clothes of the two fell off, and Gu Chengen's fiery chest pressed Mo Zhiyan.

His heartbeat was steady and powerful, and it also beat her heart and empty her brain.

The whole was dizzy after being kissed, Mo Zhiyan looked at the man in front of her in a daze, and closed her eyes before the tears flowed out.

…………

Two hours later, Gu Chengen finally ended this "battle".

He lay beside Mo Zhiyan and let out an even breathing sound.

The hair on his forehead was wet with sweat, Mo Zhiyan raised her hand and carefully stroked Gu Chengen's face, recalling the cry of "Die'er" that he shouted just now when he was in love, and a bitter smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

In the past, the person Gu Chengen hid in his heart was Gu Jinli.

Later, the person who was favored by Gu Chengen was Qi Die.

In short, she Mo Zhiyan has never lived in Gu Chengen's heart from beginning to end.

When she touched the mask, she hesitated for a moment, but still didn't take it off.

Swallowing her tears, she sniffed and lifted the covers to get out of bed.

Stoop down to pick up the clothes on the floor, put them on, and walk out of the back room.

The inn's shopkeeper was just yawning and about to close the door, when he saw Mo Zhiyan's red eyes and slightly messy hair coming down from above, he was stunned: "This young lady, are you a little couple quarreling?" ”

Mo Zhiyan didn't speak, but said in a hoarse voice: "Trouble the little brother to take care of the boy upstairs." ”

With that, she pushed the door open and left.

"Hey, Miss!" The shopkeeper is a warm-hearted person, after he heard Mo Zhiyan's words, he confirmed his thoughts just now, and when he saw that Mo Zhiyan was leaving, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Mo Zhiyan.

However, Mo Zhiyan seemed to be chasing by a wolf behind her, trotting without a figure.

The shopkeeper was helpless, so he had to mumble and close the door.

As soon as the door was closed, the shopkeeper turned around, but he heard a "bang" knock outside the door.

The shopkeeper thought that Mo Zhiyan was back again, so he hurriedly opened the door, but it was a man who didn't want to come.

"I'm sorry, there's no room available today." Pouting, the shopkeeper's tone was a little impatient.

Yue Yunpeng looked for Gu Chengen for a long time, and he was very anxious, so he grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper and said sharply: "Have you seen a man wearing a mask and wearing a blue coat?" ”

The shopkeeper was frightened by Yue Yunpeng's menacing appearance, and while stretching out his hand and pointing upstairs, he stammered: "The good man spares his life, that son is here...... The second room is on the right-hand side. ”

"Humph!" Yue Yunpeng snorted coldly, shook off the shop, and strode upstairs.

After arriving at the room, after seeing Gu Chengen lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully, his hanging heart was finally steady.

It's just that why are the clothes on Gu Chengen's body gone?

Moreover, there is something wrong with the feeling in this room.

Thinking that the situation in the capital was unstable now, Yue Yunpeng didn't dare to stay here, and after dressing Gu Chengen with his hands and feet, he flew down from the window with him on his back.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to go upstairs, so he could only stand at the staircase and look upstairs with his head up.

After waiting for a long time, the shopkeeper felt that his neck was about to fall off, but he hadn't seen Yue Yunpeng come up yet.

He couldn't help it, and he took small steps to the upper floor.

However, the room was empty.

Seeing that the big household opened, the shopkeeper hurriedly checked privately to see if there was anything missing in the house.

After the inspection, he exhaled and cursed unhappily before going downstairs and plugging the deadbolt to death.

At the same time, in the camp outside the city, Qi Hao was having a long talk with the king of Nanyang, who was about to leave tomorrow.

The king of Nanyang had already conveyed Chen Zexuan's meaning to Li Qihao, who listened, was silent for a moment, and nodded: "Uncle Wang has done enough for this king, and this king is very grateful." ”

"This matter will be handed over to this king, and Uncle Wang should not worry about it anymore."

King Nanyang took a sip of tea with a teacup and sighed: "I hope Xuan'er won't go his own way." ”

"Lord Wang, Concubine Gu has sent a letter." At this time, Du Jiang came in from outside.

"Ah Gu?" As soon as Qi Hao heard Gu Jinli, his eyes lit up obviously.

He looked at the letter handed over by Du Jiang, glanced at King Nanyang, and took the envelope excitedly and apprehensively.

Somehow, he was nervous.

Because, he didn't know what Gu Jinli would write in the letter.

Except for Wen Cun on the night before leaving the battle, the last time they met was three days ago when he led his troops back to Beijing and fought against the people of the Eighth Prince, they were alone on the city wall, and one person was under the city wall looking at each other in the air.

Eleven days had passed before the war, and three days ago in those circumstances, they had little chance to speak.

In the past few days, so many things have happened in the middle, Qi Hao's heart is really bottomless.

He was afraid that Gu Jinli had written a desperate letter to break off with him or something.

He opened the letter with an uneasy feeling, and read it very slowly, word by word.

After reading it, he exhaled.

When he looked up, he saw that King Nanyang and Du Jiang were both looking at him, so he said slowly: "Ah Gu said that tomorrow we will cooperate with the outside and help us attack the city." ”

On weekdays, how Gu Jinli and Chen Zexuan were planning to trip Qi Hao with all their hearts, Du Jiang saw this and remembered it in his heart, so he didn't believe that Gu Jinli would help Qi Hao.

It can also be said that Du Jiang does not believe Chen Zexuan.

After all, Chen Zexuan did everything in private in order to compete for the throne.

Seeing that the throne was about to be in hand, how could he be willing to give it up?

One step away, replaced by someone else, presumably even more unwilling.

"What? How could she ...... Concubine Gu" Du Jiang couldn't hold back the shock in his heart, and almost blurted out the words in his heart.

However, fortunately, he took care of the King of Nanyang present and swallowed his words back in time.

Qi Hao's eyes crossed a touch of complexity, he looked at King Nanyang, and said in a low voice: "This is also what Xuan Shizi meant." ”

This letter made Qi Hao's mood very indescribable.

Gu Jinli was willing to write to him, which relieved his urgent need, which made him happy.

When she was at war with Yunguo, she didn't receive the letter she wrote to her.

The previous prescription, as well as the sound of the piano on the city wall, were enough to prove that she cared about him, and her heart was indeed on his side.

As for Chen Zexuan, Qi Hao's thoughts are the same as Du Jiang's.

Puzzled and surprised.

In order to suppress the royal family, Chen Zexuan even spread the true life experience of King Nanyang at all costs, which shows that he is planning to break the kettle and make a desperate attempt to subvert the Qi family.

However, after a conversation with King Nanyang, he not only changed his mind about seizing the throne, but also gave up the throne to himself, which made it difficult for Qi Hao to figure it out for a while.

There is also the eighth prince, he has also made a lot of efforts for the throne, and he has embarked on the road of no return to the great rebellion and usurpation of the throne, but now he is willing to cooperate with Chen Zexuan and Gu Jinli to act, what is the reason for this?

The joy in his heart faded, and Qi Hao only felt that something was weighing heavily on his heart.

Nanyang Wang Lao looked relieved on his face, and said with emotion: "Xuan'er really didn't disappoint this king. ”

Qi Hao suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart and said gently: "Uncle Wang, you have to leave tomorrow morning, so let's go back and rest first." ”

King Nanyang got rid of a big thing, so he was in a good mood, and said happily: "Okay, you go to bed early." ”

"Hmm", Qi Hao read Gu Jinli's letter again, and then said to Du Jiang: "Tell me to go down, you must not take it lightly tomorrow, you must be cautious." ”

"Lord Wang, are you worried that there is fraud in this?" Du Jiang thought about it and asked tentatively.

"Nope." Qi Hao shook his head and said slowly: "This king believes in Ah Gu, but he is worried about the man named Mo Li. ”

"Being able to stay incognito and maneuver between this country and the country of Yun, this king feels that this person is scheming and must be guarded against."

"Yes, my subordinates know what to do." Du Jiang answered, and then left.

At dawn on the second day, Qi Hao led his soldiers to attack the city.

If you want to be fooled, you must do everything you can.

Therefore, the fierceness of the battle between the soldiers of the two sides this time is no less than the last time, and the tragic situation of "dead and wounded" is also quite realistic.

Of course, the Eight Princes' clothes had already been prepared with red dye for when they bleed.

As a result, many people fell in a pool of blood.

Qi Hao's army entered the city unimpeded with the army within an hour.

The people agreed very much with Qi Hao's return to Beijing to seize the throne.

After all, the queen killed a lot of innocent people because of rumors two days ago, which caused everyone's anger.

In fact, the common people really don't care who is in charge.

For ordinary people, no matter who is the emperor, as long as they do not enslave the people, do not pay taxes harshly, do not let the people live in misery, and let everyone live a peaceful and prosperous life.

An emperor who can give the people a stable life is a good emperor.

Compared with Qi Hao, the Eighth Prince is obviously more suitable for the latter.

Of course, the rumored King of Nanyang, who has royal blood, is also suitable, but unfortunately the King of Nanyang has no intention of taking the throne.

After a tea time, the eighth prince who had been on the throne for four days was ousted by Prince Ning and imprisoned in Mingyang Palace.

According to insiders, the eighth prince did not panic in the slightest after learning that Qi Hao had attacked the palace.

He rejected Xiao Xiangzi's suggestion to escape, sat on the dragon chair that the old emperor used to sit on, and watched Qi Hao break into the hall with a sword with a calm expression, but said coldly to Qi Hao, "You are here", and then was escorted back to the palace where he had lived for many years without resistance.

The old emperor and the queen mother who were imprisoned in Yonghe Palace finally "saw the light of day" and were freed.

However, the old emperor was paralyzed in bed, and he could only rely on Wei Liao to recuperate him.

Cleaning up the judges and rectifying the court is the first thing Qi Hao has to do.

The ministers who rebelled with the Eighth Emperor before, such as the new prime minister Guo Mingshun, Mo Dongsheng, Jiang Shangshu, Peng Juhuai and other old ministers, were all taken into prison by Qi Hao and waited for their fate.

As for the culprit Chen Zexuan, because he never got involved in the rebellion of the Eighth Prince on the surface, plus he "reined in the precipice" at the last moment and woke up in time, so it is impossible for Qi Hao to deal with him again.

Besides, the Eight Princes, except for those ministers who have been locked up in prison and the Ning Wang Party who have a firm stance and have never wavered, the people still don't know the truth about the Eighth Prince's ascension to the throne overnight, only if he really got the holy decree of the old emperor and justifiably called the emperor.

Even if there are doubts, there are not particularly many.

After all, the sacred stone in the woods outside the city was engraved with the prophecy that the Eighth Emperor was the true dragon of the Son of Heaven who was destined to return.

Qi Haonian was young and ignorant and stopped in time, but he only temporarily grounded him.

After a few days of calming down, I will ask the old emperor again to see if he can forgive the sins of the eighth prince.

While Qi Hao was busy with various things, Chen Zexuan and Gu Jinli were listening to the reports of their subordinates: "Shizi, the lord took people to Yaoshan. ”

Yaoshan is seventy or eighty miles away from the capital, it is a barren mountain with no grass, and it is inaccessible all year round, and almost no one cares about it.

"Yaoshan?" Chen Zexuan frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What is he doing in Yaoshan?" ”

The man in black said truthfully: "The Lord has dug a cave with people, and there may be something hidden in it." ”

"The subordinates were worried that the lord would find out, so they didn't dare to get too close."

"Well, you step aside." Chen Zexuan waved his hand and retreated the man in black.

"Brother, is there any ulterior secret hidden in Yaoshan?" Gu Jinli squinted her eyes and unfolded her bold imagination: "For example, the ancients used the cruelty of the living to train invulnerability and infinitely powerful killing machines - war slaves. ”

"With these immortal, immortal war slaves, no one can defeat him, whether it is Qi Yu or Yun Kingdom."

"Or rather, what kind of elixir of immortality?"

"People are greedy for life and afraid of death, what if he also wants to live for generations?"

Chen Zexuan listened to Gu Jinli's speculation and took a deep breath, "He took your blood, will he go to open the war slave and develop the elixir?" ”

"Probably not." Gu Jinli was asked by Chen Zexuan, and instantly overturned her thoughts, "It's possible, let's go find some treasure." ”

Her tone was casual, but she also made one of the most likely assumptions.

The two of them glanced at each other and had a number in their hearts.

Gu Jinli sat up straight and said, "If it is a treasure that must require my blood to be opened, then it must be something left by Feng Guo back then." ”

Chen Zexuan is not the prince of Fengguo, if he is, then Mo Li has to take Gu Jinli's blood, just use Chen Zexuan's.

The phoenix blood jade belongs to the phoenix country, and he also has the blood of the phoenix emperor flowing in his body.

Therefore, it is very likely that the jade pendant is the key to open the treasure house, and his own blood is the medium!

And Lei Zi was killed precisely because he knew about it.

"Brother, you can't let him succeed!" Gu Jinli got up from the chair and was about to walk out the door.

But the door opened, and suddenly a dark shadow rushed into front of him with lightning speed.

Immediately after, Mo Li's big hand grabbed Gu Jinli's neck.

"Sheng'er!"

Chen Zexuan didn't expect that Mo Li, who was supposed to dig up treasures in Yaoshan at this moment, would appear in this mansion, and he also heard the conversation between himself and Gu Jinli just now, he was shocked, and stepped forward to take Gu Jinli back, but when he saw Mo Li's big hand, the little red snake in his sleeve jumped out in an instant and crawled into Gu Jinli's clothes.

Outside the door, Ah Qiao was lying unconscious on the ground, and he didn't have to think about it to know that he must have been knocked unconscious by Mo Li.
