Chapter 52, Restless

The two huge stone lions at the door stared at the eyes as big as copper bells, and their momentum was extraordinary.

Guiyan thought of the desolate and dilapidated Xia Mansion, his eyes were cold, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

The pattern of the regent palace is huge, five steps and one sentry, ten steps and one post, Gu Yuebai's study and bedroom are all heavy ground, and there are handlers.

Guiyan entered the palace, and his body was extremely fast.

Some of the guards only felt a slight stray in front of them, but they couldn't find anything when they looked at it.

Guiyan has a memory of the palace in his mind, and he is very fast and smooth all the way.

Rounding a cloister, Guiyan hid sideways behind a pillar, waiting for a row of sentries in front of him to walk by.

Although she has memories of the palace, the palace was not so strict at that time, and there were not even a few subordinates, which was very bleak.

Today's regent palace is really different from the original.

When they had passed, Guiyan walked up quickly and pushed open the door of the study, and closed it gently, without making a trace of movement during the whole process.

There was no light in the study, and Guiyan's vision was not so clear in the dark, she thought about the layout of the study in her mind, and slowly walked to the bookshelf.

She narrowed her eyes, she had already had a guess, but she hadn't carried it out.

There was a sandalwood box on the bookshelf, Guiyan walked to the side, touched the wooden box with both hands, and waited for a long time for Jian Meiyan to make any movement, and then gently opened the wooden box.

"Lord Wang!" The guards outside suddenly said in unison.

Guiyan was startled, and quickly stopped the movements in his hand, looked around, Guiyan's eyes froze, and he quickly moved.

There is a bed in Gu Yuebai's study, which was placed behind the screen in the study, leaning against the wall and facing the windowsill when he used to read calligraphy and paintings.

Gui Yan's eyes exuded coldness under the mask, and he hid under the bed, restraining his breath, and even slowing down his breathing.

Listening to the sound of the door being pushed open, the strings in Guiyan's brain tightened and he held his breath.

She won't fight him at all now, not to mention the question of whether she can beat him, if her whereabouts are exposed, Gu Yuebai thinks of Lu Jingzhi, and it will not be good in the end.

Everyone is as smart as a fox, and Lu Jingzhi was also prepared to be suddenly exposed at that time, so he set the place where he recently settled outside the city, just because something happened, once Gu Yuebai closed the city, it would not affect them.

It's time to prepare for a rainy day.

Lu Jingzhi made a complete plan, and Guiyan didn't want to drag him back.

What's more, she still remembered that the purpose of her coming out tonight was not for revenge, but for the legendary Gu King.

Ever since the man in the black costume came in, Gui Yan clearly felt that the air had frozen a little.

Guiyan was slightly stunned, this kind of coercion seemed to be something that Gu Yuebai didn't have before.

It was as if he had grown into what he had always wanted to be overnight.

She still remembered that he once held her hand, and the two of them sat on Lanfeng Mountain in Chudu all night, just to wait to see the sunrise.

The sun rises and the sky is cloudy, and the morning glow is thousands of miles long.

The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and his eyes reflected the morning glow, which was amazingly bright.

He pulled her up, looked at the thousands of households in Chudu, with ambition in his eyes, and said, "Qingyan, this sky in your eyes will be ours sooner or later." ”

The young man's face was slightly childish, like a peerless sword that had just been built, and the edge was exposed.

In his eyes, it was the entire Chu State, but he would never know that there was only one him in Xia Qingyan's eyes at that time.

These memories appeared in his mind, Ling Guiyan's eyes were slightly cold, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile.

Gu Yuebai has always been difficult to change his habits, and the layout in the study should be exactly the same as at the beginning, so Guiyan will think of this place in a hurry.

And at this point in time, he probably came to pick up things, and he still had to leave after taking them.

She didn't realize that maybe some people were coming for her.

The candles in the room were slowly lit, and Guiyan saw through the screen that the room was bright and brightly lit.

A slender figure was reflected on the screen, and he walked to the bookshelf, and Guiyan watched as he raised his arm and moved the sandalwood box.

Guiyan's eyes froze, and sure enough, she guessed correctly.

The bookshelf slowly moved away, revealing a dark room, Gu Yuebai walked in, and the bookshelf slowly closed.

He didn't stay in it long, but in a quarter of an hour the bookshelf was removed, and he stepped out of it, with a steady foot, extinguished the light in the study, and opened the door and left.

Guiyan watched as the figure disappeared and came out from under the bed.

She sped fast and returned to the sandalwood box, which contained a bracelet of wooden beads.

Gui Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers swiped over the beads in his hand.

Finally, with a slight pause in her fingers, she pressed a bead into the groove.

Watching the bookshelf in front of him slowly move away, Guiyan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After entering the dark room, the bookshelf was automatically moved, and there was no light inside, it was extremely dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Guiyan leaned against the wall and walked slowly, I don't know when it took, the road began to light up.

The night pearl embedded in the wall shone brightly, and in this light, Guiyan pushed open a wooden door at the end of the passage.

As soon as the wooden door was pushed open, the overwhelming white mist suddenly rushed straight to the smoke door, and the smoke was not good, so he hurriedly retreated, but he still inhaled a lot of fog.

His body became weaker and weaker, his legs were weak, and Guiyan fell to the ground.

His eyelids drooped uncontrollably, and Gui Yan cursed in his heart, using his only remaining consciousness, Frost Hua came out of the sheath and drew a wound on the back of his hand.

The pain on the back of his hand dispelled a little of the drowsiness in his brain, and Guiyan supported himself with a long sword to the ground, struggling to support himself and walk back to the road.

Guiyan looked at the ground, and just walked to the junction of light and darkness in the passage, a pair of black boots embroidered with silver thread dragons suddenly appeared in front of him.

Gu Yuebai stood in the dark, the expression on his face couldn't be seen clearly, but Gui Yan could feel the gaze he put on his body, as sharp as a blade.

The two of them confronted each other in a strange posture, and there was another wave of dizziness in their brains, and their brains were groggy, and the pain of their faces being injured could not be felt.

She gritted her teeth, holding the blade of Frost Hua in her palm, blood flowing down the dark line, and the blade slowly emitted a faint red light.

Guiyan seemed to hear a sigh, and then the black figure took a few steps closer to her, he didn't know what kind of incense was on him, Guiyan was so dizzy that he finally lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Gu Yuebai stood at the junction of light and darkness, light and shadow hitting his face, half bright and half dark.

The peach blossom eyes were a heavy black, a little darker than this dark passage.

He crouched down, the hem of his clothes dragging across the floor.

He stretched out his hand, one hand on Guiyan's hand holding Shuanghua, and the other hand on Shuanghua.

He snapped his fingers, but didn't move.

He frowned, his hand was straining, and Frost Hua was pulled out, and the palm of his hand was a deep wound.

The blood did not flow into Frost Hua's blood trough, but dripped on the ground, blooming one by one bright red and demonic flowers on the ground.

Gu Yuebai looked at the scars on the back of her palms, her face was expressionless, but her eyes were dark and deep, like the sea before a storm, and the turbulent waves were hidden under the calm.

He picked up Guiyan, and the girl lay obediently in his arms, and he saw the little monster mask on her face, her face was slightly dark, and her outline softened a little.

He walked out of the dark room with Guiyan in his arms, and Shuanghua was discarded in the dark passage, and the red light on the sword was faint, and it disappeared after a while.

……

Outside the city.

Lu Jingzhi stood in front of the window, it was pitch black outside, the night breeze was blowing over him, and his hair moved slightly.

He put his left hand on his chest, and the heart in it was beating a little faster than usual.

I am worried and restless.

Jing Si was keeping vigil on Lu Jingzhi's roof, looking at Lu Jingzhi like this, a thought flashed in his heart, and he had already flown down.

"Master, it's time for you to rest." Jing Si frowned, he knew that Lu Jingzhi was waiting for Guiyan, "Guiyan girl has her own plans in her heart, she came out of the Regent's Palace, she is very familiar with it, and nothing will happen." ”

Lu Jingzhi frowned and didn't speak, listening to Jing Si's words, he became more and more uneasy in his heart.

It is because of familiarity that it will be taken for granted and will relax its vigilance.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Jingzhi suddenly spoke, "Go and call Jingyi over?"

His tone was serious, and Jing Si was also serious, not daring to persuade him, and disappeared in front of Lu Jingzhi in a flash.

Lu Jingzhi lowered his eyes and looked at his fair and slender hands.

He still remembered that this hand had stroked Guiyan's back not long ago, and he remembered the tenderness hidden in her eyes at that time.

He didn't know what he suddenly remembered, so he slowly clenched the hand, and his eyes suddenly deepened.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Guiyan, but he doesn't believe in Gu Yuebai.

He now suddenly had a suspicion of himself in his heart.

At that time, he calculated the time, and when Gu Yuebai and the first emperor of Yue were fighting for power at their most intense, they made a detour from the north to enter Chu from Jingtang City in Chu State.

There was no disturbance along the way, and even the news of the shadow was extremely normal, he thought that Gu Yuebai was too busy fighting for power to take care of Guiyan.

However, thinking of the current situation, Lu Jingzhi suddenly felt that he was wrong.

What if, from the very beginning, the message the shadows received was fake? What if Gu Yuebai had already controlled the court and disguised all this just to lure them into the bait?

In Gu Yuebai's heart, the hegemony of the country and the return to smoke are naturally more important to the country, but the hegemony has been achieved, where is the beauty?

There are always some people and things that he can't give up.

"Something?" Jing Yi quietly came behind Lu Jingzhi and asked lightly.

Lu Jingzhi turned to look at him, his eyes were calm and waveless, "Guiyan's mask today, you did it on purpose?"

The voice is deep, and it does not distinguish between joy and anger.

"But it's just a coincidence, how can it be considered deliberate." Jing Yi's voice was cold, and his tone was full of indifference.

Lu Jingzhi was silent and did not speak.

Suddenly, Jing Yi suddenly realized something, "Something happened to her?" ”
