After Gu Qingyan left, An Huajin went back to the house to make up for sleep, and lay in the bed tent for a while before falling asleep with the quilt. When I woke up, it was early in the morning of the second day.

Although she slept for a long day and a night, she was refreshed, but she was a little unaccustomed to it. Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, he muttered quietly, "Why is this person so gripping." ”

Darkflame added charcoal fire to the house, and when he heard this, he looked up at An Huajin, Master Gu was gone, and he became a pitiful little one who served the little county lord again, and he had to pour a cup of tea, he asked out loud, "Is the little county lord talking about Lord Gu?" ”

"Well, he's been gone for half a day and a night, and now it's time to meet Chu Yun, right?" Anhua brooded.

"Almost." Smolderflame nodded.

An Huajin sighed and ordered, "Gather all the generals and discuss the matter!" ”

She has let the Nanyang army rest in Qin'an City for more than half a month, and it is time to continue to work after recuperating for so long, and in the next month, she must take the four cities she planned according to the plan, and if she doesn't move quickly, it's time to lose to Wang Anzhi.

Smolderflame nodded and ordered.

After a short time, everyone gathered in the Chinese military tent to discuss the next matter of capturing four cities in a row.

And Gu Qingyan, as expected by An Huajin, has gone from Qin'an City to Changzhou, and the first city of Southern Liang attacked by An Huajin is also the border line between Great Chu and Southern Liang in the past.

Chu Yun is indeed a little capable, he noticed that he had been monitored and controlled, and when he was about to make a move, it was too late, Gu Qingyan appeared in front of him with the Gu family's secret guards.

Gu Qingyan greeted, "Third Highness, don't come unharmed." ”

When Chu Yun saw Gu Qingyan, his face was very heavy, "It turned out to be Lord Gu, who should I be to find here." ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, "I'm curious, when the Third Highness came out of the capital, why didn't he go to the Southern Qi or Southern Liang royal capital, but lingered in Changzhou?" If the Three Highnesses had gone to these two places, I wouldn't have found the Three Highnesses so easily. ”

Chu Yun didn't answer, "You have already come to Changzhou?" ”

Why did he linger in Changzhou, naturally he wanted to find trouble with An Huajin behind his back, but unfortunately, the time for his preparation was too short, and before he was ready, Gu Qingyan came to him.

He knows better than anyone that Gu Qingyan is not easy to mess with, if it weren't for him, the capital would have been his, just because he was in the capital, even if the Southern Qi and Southern Liang went to war, he reformed drastically and eliminated many of his people, the Gu family was deeply entrenched in the capital, and he himself was very powerful, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and he kept hiding and waiting for the opportunity, but he didn't expect the time to come, but waited until Chu Chen found out his true identity, he had no choice but to leave the capital and come here.

thought that Gu Qingyan couldn't leave the capital, he could do it with confidence in Changzhou, and planned to take An Huajin to blackmail the capital, but he didn't expect that Gu Qingyan personally brought people to chase here.

Chu Yun looked at Gu Qingyan's appearance like a breeze and white snow, and his teeth itched with hatred, "Lord Gu, don't you think you shouldn't come?" You've come here, and this is where you're buried today. ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, "Whether it is my burial place or the burial place of the Third Highness, we will soon find out." ”

He didn't bother to say more to Chu Yun, and waved his hand behind him, and the secret guards all went up in unison, surrounding Chu Yun and his people.

The two sides fought.

The people around Chu Yun are worthy of being cultivated by Zhang Zaifu for many years, and they are really powerful, but unfortunately, they met Gu Qingyan's people.

From midnight to dawn, all the people around Chu Yun were cut off by the Gu family's secret guards, although Gu Qingyan's people also folded a lot, compared to Chu Yun's folds, it was nothing.

Chu Yun was red-eyed, but he couldn't get out under the escort of the secret guards, and finally saw that he was the only one left, he was finally frightened, and a pair of eyes looked at Gu Qingyan deadly, "Gu Qingyan, I want to negotiate conditions with you." ”

Gu Qingyan waved his hand, and secretly guarded his hand.

Chu Yun saw Gu Qingyan stop, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to him, "You let me go, as long as I go to Nanliang and present Zhang Chengze's head." ”

"Gu is not interested in Zhang Chengze's head." Gu Qingyan's eyes were cold.

Chu Yun gritted his teeth, "The head of the King of Southern Liang." ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, "I'm not interested in the head of the King of Southern Liang either. ”

Chu Yun's face turned pale, "Then what are you interested in?" If you ask for it, I can do it. ”

Gu Qingyan seemed to be very disappointed, "I thought that His Royal Highness could have any good negotiation conditions, but it turned out to be just a struggle at the end of the road." ”

He waved his hand and said neatly, "Kill it!" ”

Chu Yun had to fight again, and the secret guard stepped forward and stabbed him to death with a sword, simply and neatly. Chu Yun's body fell to the ground, unwilling to die, with his eyes open.

"Behead him and bring it back, lest His Highness not see his head, and think that I am fooling him." Gu Qingyan turned over and got on the horse and commanded.

The dark guard cut off Chu Yun's head and loaded it in a box.

When he came, Gu Qingyan took eight days, and when he went back, he listened to An Huajin's words very much, and he didn't rush to toss himself, he had three more days, one day was to take Chu Yun, and two days were used to rest. On the twenty-seventh day of the first month, he returned to the capital.

When he entered the capital, it was also evening, and he didn't make any movement, and went directly to the Great Prince's Mansion with Chu Yun's head.

When the gatekeeper of the Great Prince's Mansion saw that he was back, they were all pleasantly surprised, "Lord Gu, you are finally back!" ”

Since Lord Gu left, the court has been busy with many things, and His Royal Highness has not rested for this year. was a very gentle person, but he was occasionally jumped by the courtiers, and when he returned to the house, his face would be black for two days in a row, which made the people in the Great Prince's Mansion tremble, and they all looked forward to Lord Gu's coming back soon, and rescuing them by the way.

Gu Qingyan glanced at the people in the Great Prince's Mansion who welcomed him very much, and was welcomed in with a smile.

The housekeeper of the Great Prince's Mansion almost cried with joy, "Lord Gu, you are finally back, if you don't come back, the old slave will want to personally bring someone to invite you back." ”

He knew that this capital was really inseparable from Lord Gu, and His Royal Highness couldn't do without it. Don't look at the courtiers one by one, when Lord Gu was in the court, they were honest and like anything, but Lord Gu didn't go to court for many days, and the courtiers were ready to move, either this or that, His Royal Highness was such a good-tempered person, and he was often black-faced for a day or two when he was angry.

Gu Qingyan smiled lightly, "What about His Highness?" ”

"In the study." The butler took Gu Qingyan and took him to the study, "After you left, a lot of things happened in the capital, especially on Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, His Royal Highness did not rest." ”

He said very angrily, "Those families, seeing that you are not there, began to unite again, bullying His Highness with a weak foundation, and even joined hands to deal with His Highness." ”

Gu Qingyan nodded, in the letter from His Royal Highness, he had heard of it, entrenched in several generations of families, for the sake of interests, criss-crossing the net, he assisted His Highness to rectify the superstructure last winter, the means were vigorous and resolute, and the suppression was ruthless, so that they lost most of them, and cut their feathers for a while, but they did not eradicate the roots, of course, he did not want to eradicate the roots, but there are things, not all at once, it can be clear at once, after being vigorous and resolute, he needs to slowly figure it out, he has been away from Beijing for more than a month, obviously, they want to coerce His Royal Highness, Regroup.

"You're back, I'll show them tomorrow." The housekeeper said again.

Gu Qingyan smiled and nodded.

When he came to the study of His Royal Highness, Chu Xian had already heard the movement and greeted him, and when he saw Gu Qingyan, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he also said the same thing, "You are finally back, I thought you were detained by Lord An Xiaojun." ”

Gu Qingyan sighed, "I want her to detain me, but unfortunately, there are too many talents in Nanyang Army, and she doesn't need me." ”

Chu Xian laughed, "The capital needs you, the court needs you, without you, some people are about to turn the sky upside down, I am under pressure every day, just waiting for you to come back." Now that you're back, I can catch my breath. ”

Although Chu Xian's temperament is gentle, he is not soft, he has been forced to this one, which shows how serious the counterattack is.

Gu Qingyan raised his eyebrows, "I'm just giving them a chance to fight back." If they really continue to be so peaceful, it is a hidden danger, and now they jump out and coerce His Highness to exert pressure, and stretch out their claws to cut off the rest of the part. ”

Chu Xian suddenly said, "It turns out that you have a plan. ”

He looked at Gu Qingyan and smiled angrily, "You went to the front line, how many times did you kill one stone in one fell swoop in the past month or so?" met the little county lord, accompanied the little county lord for the New Year, calculated the court, and took Chu Yun back? ”

"Hmm." Gu Qingyan waved his hand behind him and ordered, "Qingmo, give Chu Yun's head to His Highness to take a look." ”

Qingmo stepped forward, opened the box, and offered it to Chu Xian.

Chu Xian glanced at it, it was indeed Chu Yun's head, the scene before his death was still there, it could be seen that he was unwilling to die, he nodded, "Throw it to the mass grave and feed the dogs!" ”

Qingmo closed the box and handed it to the people of the Great Prince's Mansion and threw it into the mass grave.
