Chapter Seventy-Seven: Secretly Observing
I saw Gu Xiqian take out a silver ingot and hand it over, and the boss immediately sat up, "Those two people just walked into the room, and there was already a person who came here to open a room before, in the private room on the third floor." ”
Gu Xiqian told the other party not to leak it, and then walked up quietly.
Not long after he went up, a black-robed man came to the inn, and the shopkeeper looked at the other party, only to see the other party bow his head and say in a deep voice: "I'm here..."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately said: "In the private room on the third floor above, the guest officer, please." ”
After watching the black-robed man go up, the shopkeeper was a little strange, why did so many people ask about this room today.
Gu Xiqian walked to the third floor, and watched the two open the door and walk into the room, Gu Xiqian immediately hid to the side, and then poked a hole in the window to look at the situation inside.
There was a table of food in the room, and there was a black-robed man, and after the two entered, they immediately saluted the black-robed man and walked down.
"You haven't been followed all the way, have you?" The black-robed man said.
"No, don't worry, and he's like a normal person now." Gu Miaoxuan nodded and said.
Gu Xiqian looked at the black-robed man inside, and the other party's deliberately low voice made her unable to hear who the other party was, so she had to continue eavesdropping.
"That's good, the array you set up in the gym last time hasn't been discovered by those group of magic sticks, right?" The black-robed man continued to ask.
"Dead Man" said slowly in a hoarse voice: "No, those people don't know how to break the formation at all, and since someone is dead, I don't think they will have any trouble." ”
The black-robed man nodded in satisfaction, then took out two bags and handed them over.
Gu Xiqian's eyes widened and she looked at it, especially Gu Miaoxuan's appearance, if she had the opportunity, she had to find a way to get it.
"You take these two tips, and if there is something to do, you open the bag and do what it says."
The two of them put the bag into the cuff, Gu Miaoxuan was a little puzzled, "Didn't you say that there is another person?" Why hasn't it been so long? ”
Gu Xiqian couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard it, she didn't expect that there were still people from them who didn't come, so she immediately panicked.
Looking around, it didn't make her hide.
Just as she was about to leave, she was relieved a lot by the words of the black-robed man, "Don't worry, he still has two quarters of an hour to come back, let's continue to wait first." ”
Gu Xiqian couldn't help but sigh, but this doesn't mean that she is safe now, if someone comes in a while, she has to find a way to open it.
However, at this time, she didn't know that the black-robed man in the other party's mouth had already found her in the corridor, but he didn't come up.
"I said, why are you doing this, not only to set up a formation in the Taoist temple, but also to frame the emperor, why are you doing this?" Gu Miaoxuan asked.
I saw the black-robed man smile slightly, "We just want to take the South Vietnam Kingdom bloodlessly, and now, it's just the beginning." ”
Hearing the black-robed man actually say such a thing, Gu Miaoxuan was a little incredulous, because she knew the strength of the Nanyue Kingdom, and no one had ever said that they could take the Nanyue Kingdom, and what could they do in front of them?
Gu Xiqian also couldn't react, she didn't expect them to have such an idea, but this also made her have a lot of questions, did the six princes get involved?
The black-robed man sighed: "Our country is in a small border country, many years ago it was quite prosperous, but it was burned by the war of the South Yue country, only the broken eaves and broken walls remained, we also know that if we raise an army to counterattack, there is no doubt that we will hit the stone with an egg, but if the emperor controls them and keeps consuming them, the South Yue country at that time will be just a fat pig to be slaughtered." ”
Gu Miaoxuan couldn't help but think of the emperor's abnormal behavior in the past few days, and couldn't help but sigh a little at their abilities and methods.
"Now, there are already people who suspect us, but it doesn't matter, as long as only he is opened at that time, the South Vietnamese Kingdom is still under our control, and everything is the will of our holy woman." The black-robed man said proudly.
At this time, Gu Miaoxuan was a little puzzled, who was the saint in their mouths.
Just when she was puzzled, the black-robed man explained: "I didn't want you to know about this matter yet, but since you are her daughter, I should also tell you that she is your mother Lin Yiliu." ”
Hearing what the black-robed man said, Gu Miaoxuan and Gu Xiqian's expressions were both stunned, and they both looked incredulous.
"What do you say? How can my mother be the saintess of your small border country? She's not an ordinary prefect's daughter. Gu Miaoxuan retorted.
The black-robed man said helplessly: "That's just our identity of placing her in Nanyue, in fact, the prefect adopted your mother and brought her up, originally wanted to enter the palace to face the saint, but was inadvertently favored by King Xiang, and became Princess Xiang in desperation." The black-robed man explained.
There was too much information in the other party's words, and Gu Xiqian suddenly couldn't react, it turned out that the Lin family still had such a background, and her purpose was to murder the emperor.
Thinking that she was ruthless in order to compete for the position of the main mother, it also made her understand why she would climb up so actively.
However, what she didn't understand was that no matter how she climbed up, at most she was just the mother of King Xiang, so what way did she have to get close to the emperor because he had changed?
Thinking about it, there is only one possibility, and that is King Xiang.
"Now, we are ready, just waiting for an opportunity, and the last flood on the border was a warning."
"So your country is in that place? The flood on the border of South Vietnam was also caused by you? Gu Miaoxuan said in surprise.
The black-robed man nodded with satisfaction, as if he was very satisfied with this incident, not only to warn, but also to make the emperor lose his reputation because of this incident.
Hearing what they said, Gu Miaoxuan was also very interested in her mother's origin, so she asked.
I saw that the other party groaned for a while, but still told her origin.
Originally, although the territory of their country was not very large, the people lived a rich life, and they knew that one day the soldiers of the South Vietnamese country would set foot on this land.
In the face of the strength of the South Vietnamese Kingdom, they had no choice but to cede the land and sue for peace, but what made them angry, their princess was captured, and was on the way back to the South Vietnamese Kingdom.
After a hard battle, Lin Yiliu was rescued, but she was also seriously injured and couldn't travel long distances, so she bought off the local prefect and asked her to adopt her, and even changed her name to Lin Yiliu,
The black-robed man's tone was a little choked when he talked about the past, and he almost cried.
However, for Gu Miaoxuan, all this made her unacceptable, she didn't expect her mother to have such a background, and even she was not a pure South Vietnamese national.
Gu Xiqian on the side was suddenly startled, and the sound she made alarmed the people inside.
"Who!?" The black-robed man shouted.
Gu Xiqian immediately ran downstairs, and when the black-robed man ran downstairs, he found that the people below were looking at him with a surprised face.
However, at this time, he didn't know that Gu Xiqian was hiding in a corner on the second floor.
In desperation, the black-robed man had no choice but to return.
After watching the other party go up, Gu Xiqian went back to eavesdrop again, and seemed to have no idea that two quarters of an hour had passed.
After she eavesdropped on it for a while, she immediately understood why Lin Yiliu was able to escape even if she was in the prison at that time, and she really wasn't found, and it was all because of this group of people that Gu Xiqian thought that they really had the possibility of bringing down the South Yue Kingdom.
It was only then that she realized that two quarters of an hour had passed, and she thought that she had almost overheard, so she got up and prepared to leave.
However, when she went downstairs, she suddenly saw a black-robed man facing the stairs, and even deliberately blocked the stairs.
Gu Xiqian felt that something was wrong and was about to escape, but the other party immediately stepped forward and covered his mouth with his left hand, and then pulled out a short knife from his waist and put it on her neck, "If you scream again, I will kill you immediately." ”
The other party's knife was firmly on her neck, so she had no choice but to nod and agree.
The man let go of her mouth, but Gu Xiqian said, "Who are you?" Could it be that what happened in the palace was you, did you do it? ”
"Less nonsense, let's go!" The man said.
At this time, the man walked into the room with Gu Xiqian, and when Gu Miaoxuan looked at Gu Xiqian, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"Who is this person? The person who got in the way at the Taoist temple last time! The black-robed man said to Gu Xiqian.
Seeing that there was a grudge in the black robe's mouth, he was ready to make a move, "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude." ”
When Gu Xiqian looked at the man in black behind him and was about to make a move, he had to close his eyes and die, but he didn't expect that he would end up like this without himself.
"Wait, this man, maybe it will be useful to us." At this time, Gu Miaoxuan opened her mouth to stop the other party.
The two black-robed people were a little puzzled, only to see Gu Miaoxuan explain: "This person is the daughter of the former emperor, and now he is the county lord, not only has a noble status, but also a sharp weapon to restrain someone, it would be a pity to kill someone like this." ”
The two saw that the person in front of them was so important, so they tied her up first, but Gu Xiqian refused to give in, seeing that they would not kill themselves for the time being, they wanted to shout loudly.
"What a nuisance!"
I saw one of the black-robed men slashing at the back of Gu Xiqian's neck, and Gu Xiqian suddenly felt that her breath was stagnant and she fainted.
"It looks like we've been in this place for a short time, let's get out of here." The black-robed man urged.
So the four of them left on their front and back feet, and then went around to the back alley of the inn, took Gu Xiqian down, tied it tightly with a sack and took it away.
At this time, not far from the inn, there was another person looking at the inn and frowning.
