"Three thousand backers were annihilated in Yiyang Changpo; The fire in the south of the city was extinguished in an instant; The puppet at the north gate feint and was defeated, and the main thing was captured; The fifth emperor is still in the secret room of the queen mother's bedroom, Niangniang, what do you say is the chance of winning this Ximen's breakthrough plan? Gu Yi broke their plan one by one, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Huang Ying with black pupils, his eyes were deep, and the corners of his lips smiled like a smile: "If Niangniang still wants to take care of them, we might as well talk about the conditions?" ”

Huang Ying heard him tell me that this game seemed to have been solved by him one by one. I also had to be shocked in my heart, and after the flickering gaze turned around on his face, he suddenly calmed down again, and sneered: "How do I know if what you said is true or false?" If Ximen's breakthrough was not successful, why did the commander of the Nine Heavens Cavalry of the Eldest Princess of Fengwu fall into the Gu poison? Now lying here for a long time, waiting for the choice of fate? ”

Yun Yanzheng, who had been watching the battle silently, frowned, and was about to speak, but saw Gu Xi's fingers on her waist move slightly, so that she could not be irritable for a while, she raised her eyebrows slightly, snorted lightly, and continued to lie down and pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Gu Xi glanced at her, smiled comfortingly, and turned to ask Huang Ying: "The name of the Nine Heavens Rider is known to the whole world, how can the boss be easily hit?" I came here with the eldest princess, not only because she was poisoned and could not be moved, but also because I wanted to prove to my mother that this battle was fierce. When the two strong meet, the brave wins, and now in such a situation, it is the eldest princess who tried her best to seriously injure the opponent's enemy, so that others have a chance to take advantage of it. How can the same sneak attacker escape our alliance? Niangniang imagined, how could the defeated army that had lost its troops and generals escape the joint pursuit of the patrol battalion and the Nine Heavens Cavalry? ”

Huang Ying's mind began to waver a little, she couldn't see the battle situation, but what Gu Xi said seemed to be true. She lowered her long eyelashes and pondered for a moment, then smiled, "Then what is Mr. Gu going to do with such an endgame?" ”

Not only were everyone outside the courtyard worried, but even Yun Yanzheng's heart was full of curiosity, and the emperor was even more nervous, all listening to his decision.

Gu Yanzheng's eyes were bright, Yun Yanzheng had never seen him look so sincere, but he said in a consultative tone: "How about we exchange?" ”

Huang Ying smiled coldly and said, "Why don't you come to the palace to listen?" ”

Gu Xi tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and the bright palace lamp reflected the young man's mellow and soft silhouette and leisurely expression. It seems that anything that is handed over to him will seem to be lightweight, and it can be solved in an instant. He said softly: "First, Niangniang gave up her hostage to Your Majesty, handed over the antidote, and asked Your Majesty to issue an order to recall the Nine Heavens Cavalry and Patrol Battalion as soon as possible, and no longer pursue the rest of them; Second, after Niangniang got the news that they had escaped safely within three days, please give me a way to remove the puppet Gu poison on the eldest princess, I believe that Niangniang secretly has her own means of communicating with them; Thirdly, during these three days, I will ask Niangniang to temporarily stay in the palace, and after ensuring that His Majesty and the eldest princess are all right, I will return my freedom with Niangniang. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I wonder what Niangniang thinks?" ”

Huang Ying glanced at the emperor who was already expressionless, and said with a smile: "It's just a puppet Gu poison, why does Mr. Gu need me to hand over the prescription?" ”

Gu Yi smiled lightly: "Niang Niang praised it, there are so many Gu techniques in the world, Gu is not talented, and he can't know everything." If you say that you want to keep the eldest princess safe for three days, you can still do it. ”

Yun Yanzheng looked at him for a long time, but she still couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false, but she was still not worried about this matter at all. For one, she was not afraid of the consequences; Second, with his promise in front of him, my heart is somewhat like taking a reassuring pill.

Huang Ying couldn't see the slightest clue from the faces of the two people in front of her, and she still couldn't guess the thoughts of these two people. One is too calm and comfortable, and even admits his shortcomings convincingly; One is too calm and calm, and in the face of his own life and death, people feel that there is no chance to take advantage of it.

She knew that she was destined to die, and if she was to be buried with her now, then this plot would be meaningless, and perhaps it would become a farce of making wedding clothes for others. Maybe she should have agreed to his terms, so that they could escape Kyoto in peace! And what made their plans such a situation? Huang Ying raised her eyes to look at Gu Xi again, was it this young man in white who subverted all this? Let the odds of winning this game turn against them, and even escape become so embarrassing?

Huang Ying gracefully supported her sideburns, her cold face began to become bright and moving, and there was a charm in Ying Ying's light smile. She looked at the dancing candle in front of her, and said, "It seems too light to exchange the life of an eldest princess for the emperor's life and my trust. If Mr. Gu can take one pill from me, then these conditions will be negotiated. She raised her eyebrows charmingly, looked at Gu Yi and smiled, "I don't know what Mr. Gu thinks?" ”

She can't kill the emperor at the moment, but exchanging her life for the life of the Nine Heavens Riding Commander is also considered some merit. It's a pity that in the face of Gu Yi, she was uneasy in her heart, and she couldn't figure out his depth, so she had to gamble with his life. It would naturally be best if this person could be eliminated, otherwise, there would be some disagreements between him and the emperor in order to plan for the future.

Huang Ying still couldn't see any emotional changes on this young man's face, his relaxed and graceful expression seemed to be innate, as if the most flawless disguise in the world hid his seven emotions and six desires in it, not allowing the world to prying eyes. Such grace and luxury are rare treasures, just like the tears of the pearl of the sea, which belong to the kind of mythical legend.

The air outside the window is getting cooler, the night is getting darker, and the ugly moment is about to become a thing of the past.

Gu Xi's fingertips were still tapping on the table little by little, and the faint smile on the corner of his lips never changed. His voice was still soothing and soft without a hint of impurities, just like the clear sound of the best strings in the world, "You and I know Niangniang's plan." It's just that at this moment of decision-making, Niangniang has to be accurate. If the Nine Heavens Cavalry and the Patrol Battalion have already besieged them, either killed or wounded, or taken prisoner, then what is the point of all this that Niangniang is planning? You and I can't argue like this, the longer it drags on, the more Niangniang can think clearly, the more disadvantageous it is to whom? ”

The corners of Yun Yanzheng's lips gently pursed a smile, and this smile flashed and disappeared like a cloud. But it is enough to show that she is once again impressed, appreciative and awe of Gu Yi. This person is not only not afraid of danger, but also can analyze the strength and weakness of the enemy in a moment, and use even a slight advantage of his own to seize the enemy's weakness and attack again and again.

Huang Ying's heart couldn't help but be a little flustered, not that she couldn't help but knock. She has been able to lurk in the palace for so many years, and she can get the emperor's favor, naturally Zhice, patience and perseverance are extraordinary. But the mind of this person she is facing now is too unfathomable, and this person's mind is too exquisite, as if as long as she moves her mind a little, she will be pierced by those bottomless eyes.

Such a strong pressure was something she had never encountered before. In front of him, she had no gaps. The calculations in his mind were too fast, and she couldn't keep up with that pace.

At that moment, the rhythm of tapping on the desk disrupted her thoughts even more. It was as if a leak was urging her to make a decision, and the battle situation outside was unknown, but every word the young man said was interfering with her thoughts.

If she can't persevere, the people outside may really be defeated. If he is killed, then all these plans will be in vain, and it will be like a joke. She didn't dare to guess how many chances the people outside would be killed, she couldn't afford such a torment, and she could only fight for them for the last chance of life, which was what she should be planning now.

If they are captured, the situation will be even more unfavorable, and then all the game may eventually be completely overturned.

She felt that her submission seemed to have a lot of unwillingness and unwillingness, but she felt that there seemed to be no way out except this road.

Huang Ying stared at Gu Xi with her eyes open, wondering how this young man managed to know the thoughts in her heart so clearly? I don't know how he was able to grasp the context of the matter so clearly and accurately, and guess her origin and identity? Again and again, her weakness was nailed to an iron plate and forced. No matter how cold and sharp her gaze was, she couldn't penetrate Gu Xi, she didn't know his details, and she didn't know where his weaknesses were? Can't see through this person at all, can't guess the purpose behind this person's words and deeds?

On the steps outside the door of the dormitory, Chu Ruirong kept staring at the sky. Listening to the conversation with a solemn expression, his heart was so anxious that it was like a fire, seeing that this time was coming, and the medicine box in his hand was numb, and he only felt that it seemed to be as light as a feather, and it seemed to weigh more than a thousand catties. Seeing that the Gu poison on Yun Yanzheng's body was about to explode, he couldn't cross the threshold in front of him and send this life-saving medicine to her. His calmness, his self-control, his identity, his responsibility, everything about him was not allowed to take this step, he knew that the peace talks in the dormitory had reached a critical moment, and any abnormal noise and recklessness could destroy the situation that Gu Xi had created that was gradually reversing.

At the same time, he also deeply hated his calmness, his identity, his responsibility, and all his proportions and constraints. He didn't know if Gu Xi's consideration took into account Yun Yanzheng's safety and survival? He didn't dare to guess, he hated that he couldn't understand this man's deep thoughts, but he was a little reluctant to convince himself that this boy had the best of both worlds.
