It was drizzling, and Shi Min came to the outside of the palace with only two entourages. Shi Min stopped, looked up at the city gate, and since he was sensible, he didn't know how many times he had walked through this gate.

The guards at the door were still those familiar faces, but they lacked the familiarity and enthusiasm of the past, and at this time, those people were looking at Shi Min with slightly raw eyes.

Shi Min sneered in his heart, he knew that in the eyes of these people, the Xihua Hou Mansion was no longer yesterday's yellow flower, and the grace was long gone, how could they still have the respect for the Xihua Hou Mansion?

This is people, even the lowest people, who know how to see the wind and steer the rudder.

"Master Hou, please!" The man guarding the door said lightly.

Shi Min glanced at the man, didn't say a word to him, straightened his waist, held his saber in his hand, and walked straight into the palace.

The entire palace, shrouded in the spring rain, is extraordinarily quiet, and this quietness makes people feel a little depressed. Maybe it was because he knew that the moment of life and death was just around the corner, and the three of them had nothing to do, Shi Min and the two entourages did not talk along the way.

Gao Shangzhi sat in the carriage, he sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, as if he was thinking about something, and he seemed to be closing his eyes to recuperate. Suddenly, a shout from the coachman drew the attention of the noble way back.

"Your Excellency...... It's here. The driver said.

Gao Shangzhi opened the curtain a little and looked outside, it was a wine shop.

"Why doesn't it seem to be open yet?" The noble asked the coachman.

The driver looked back and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because it's raining today!" ”

An ominous premonition came to his heart, and Gao Shangzhi hurriedly opened the curtain and said to the coachman: "Help the old man get out of the car!" ”

The coachman did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly helped Gao Shangzhi to get off the carriage and came to the door of the wine shop.

"Knock!" The noble commanded.

The coachman looked at the noble one, did not disobey his intentions, nodded slightly, and knocked lightly on the door, who knew that when he knocked on it, the door was knocked open to the crack in the road, as if the door was not closed at all.

The coachman also felt a little strange, Gao Shangzhi frowned slightly, pushed open the door directly, and walked in.

The liquor shop was surprisingly quiet, there was no one in sight, but it was also a mess, with broken drinking utensils everywhere and a few corpses on the ground.

Seeing this, the coachman was so frightened that he involuntarily took a step back, but Gao Shangzhi was not afraid at all, he knew that what he was worried about had finally happened.

"Come out!" Gao Shangzhi said.

"Da, da, da......" A steady footstep came.

Gao Shangzhi turned around, and a slightly thin figure appeared at the door of the wine shop, blocking their retreat.

"You really have bad intentions!" At a glance, Gao Shang recognized that the person who came was Qin Huaishan.

Qin Huaishan smiled and said, "You and I are our own masters!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Ning saved your life back then, and that's how you repay him?"

"The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, and I have done things for Ning Wangfu for decades, and the kindness of His Royal Highness King Ning should be enough to repay it!"

"When did you become the dog of Xihuahou Mansion?"

"Hehe, I only made up my mind yesterday to do my best for the Xihua Hou Mansion!" Qin Huaishan smiled and asked deliberately, "Do you believe it?" ”

"Qin Huaishan, the old man really didn't misunderstand you! You are indeed not of the same heart as Your Highness! The old man really shouldn't have kept you alive to this day. ”

Qin Huaishan sneered and sneered: "It's a pity that His Royal Highness King Ning has never thought so!" ”

Gao Shangzhi said unhurriedly: "You have exhausted all your organs, what about saving Shi Yong and Wen Cang's families?" The overall situation has been decided, and the Xihuahou Mansion can't set off any storms. ”

"I'm afraid not!"

Gao Shangzhi frowned slightly, and whispered to the coachman: "Hurry up and inform Your Highness!" ”

The coachman nodded, glanced at Qin Huaishan vigilantly, and then quickly retreated to the window, wanting to run out to report to Shi Jian, at this time, a cold arrow "swished" from the window, and the coachman screamed, was shot to the ground, convulsed a few times, and then stopped moving.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to get this out there!" Qin Huaishan smiled and looked at Gao Shangzhi.

Gao Shangzhi did not panic, he knew very well in his heart that with Qin Huaishan's style of doing things, he must have arranged a careful trap for himself. Life and death at this moment, it is nothing to Gao Shangzhi, since the first day he did things for Shi Jian, his life has been completely handed over to Shi Jian, in order to achieve his great cause, Gao Shang Zhi can sacrifice anything.

Even so, he had to find a way to inform Shi Jian, but it was obvious that the people of Xihuahou Mansion had surrounded this place, and he couldn't get out. Most of the people of Ning Wang's Mansion have been transferred to the palace, and in the face of such a situation, Gao Shangzhi is unwilling to spend more manpower to fight with the Xihua Hou Mansion.

"In that case, Qin Huaishan, take the old man's life! Why waste time? Gao Shangzhi said deliberately.

"No, no, no! I've got to keep you alive! Let you see the final ending. ”

As soon as Qin Huaishan finished speaking, two strong men walked in, and Qin Huaishan ordered: "Take our prime minister away." ”

The two people nodded, stepped forward to escort Gao Shangzhi away, and Gao Shangzhi scolded: "Get out!" ”

The two people were stunned, but they really didn't step forward again.

"Master Gao, let's cooperate a little! Freedom from the flesh and skin! Qin Huaishan frowned and said.

"The old man is old and can't stand the toss, I will leave by myself, I don't need you to do it."

The two looked back at Qin Huaishan, and Qin Huaishan ordered: "Take care of him!" Take! ”

Gao Shangzhi walked out unhurriedly with his hands behind his back, and the two of them left and right, not leaving an inch.

Out of the wine shop, the rain is still falling, and the noble man walks slowly in the rain, and his back looks old. Suddenly, Gao Shangzhi took out a bamboo pipe from his sleeve, pulled it towards the sky, and a red sky flew out with a "whoosh".

"Oops!" Qin Huaishan shouted.

As soon as the words fell, Qin Huaishan had already been held down by those two people, and the things in his hands fell to the ground.

The two people looked up a little nervously and said to Qin Huaishan, "Sir, we ......"

Qin Huaishan's face was a little ugly, he squatted down and looked at Qin Huaishan, and said, "You really don't die if you don't have the heart of the Yellow River!" ”

Gao Shangzhi said with a difficult smile: "The old man has already done what he needs to do, even if you kill me now, you may not be able to get out of the way, hahahahahahaha......ha

Looking at Gao Shangzhi's appearance, Qin Huaishan's back was cold, and he immediately ordered the two of them: "Hurry up!" ”

The two of them hurriedly wanted to retreat, but it was too late, and there was a sound of neat steps around them, and it was obvious that a large group of people were coming around.

"Sir, the patrol battalion is here!" The archers standing on the roof shouted.

"Hahaha......" Gao Shang raised his head with difficulty, looked at Qin Huaishan, and said, "Do you remember the game of chess that we didn't finish back then?" ”

Qin Huaishan's face was grim and he did not speak.

"There is a kind of chess game called a lose-lose game." Gao Shangzhi sneered, and said: "No, let the same end, hahaha!" ”

At this time, hundreds of people patrolling the battalion came from all directions, they were armed with sharp blades, and more than a dozen famous archers opened their bows and arrows, aiming at Qin Huaishan and others, and surrounded everyone tightly.

"Dare to distract the people! Don't let go of the tall man! The man in the lead scolded.

"Gao Shangzhi, I didn't expect you to keep this hand!" Qin Huaishan said.

"No matter what you want to do with the old man's life, I'm afraid you can't leave here today!" Gao Shangzhi said, and shouted to the patrol battalion: "Hurry up and inform Your Highness, ...... here"

Before Gao Shangzhi's words were finished, Qin Huaishan directly stuffed a ball of cloth into his mouth.

The man in the lead seemed to understand what noble he meant, and immediately muttered a few words to a person beside him, and his subordinates turned around and left.

"Let the people go, I'll leave you with a whole corpse!" The leader of the patrol battalion shouted.

"Get out of the way! Otherwise, the life of the tall man may not be guaranteed! Qin Huaishan unhurriedly used a dagger to put it on Gao Shangzhi's neck.
