Chapter Ninety-Eight: Are You Gu Yan?
Knock knock~~
The sound of the door slamming was particularly abrupt in the silence of the night.
Mu Chun was afraid of waking up the person in his arms, so he quickly got out of bed and went out. The night peep also drilled half of its head through the small hole between the beams.
"What's the matter?" Mu Chun asked as low as possible in his voice, he knew that if there was no emergency, he would not dare to knock on the door late at night if he borrowed a hundred timid little guards.
"Back to the emperor, Mrs. Chu was anxious to ask to see him at the gate of the palace, saying that it was about Lou Qi's envoy Gao Li, and it was urgent." Xiao Weizi secretly glanced at Mu Chun's determined expression and replied tremblingly.
"Gao Li?" Mu Chun's eyes were shining, and he ordered: "Please ask Mrs. Chu to go to the imperial study to reply." ”
"Yes"
After Xiao Weizi received the order to leave, Mu Chun decided to call out the night again, ordered it to guard Ai Qing for a long time, and then transferred several wolf soldiers who were guarding outside into the hall.
In this way, the feeling of trepidation in my heart faded a little.
It was late at night, and the silent palace glowed blue in the moonlight. Mu Chun decided to perform light skills, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the imperial study.
When the guard, who was standing at the door sleepy and dozing, saw him coming, he quickly opened the door of the temple and turned on the electric light. As soon as Mu Chun Jue entered the study, Chu Huai hurried over.
Before he could speak, he knelt down in front of Mu Chun with a plop.
"Weichen damn it! Wechen is guilty! ”
Mu Chun was even more uneasy by this sudden remark, Xiao Weizi said in his report that Chu Huai asked to see him because of Gao Li's matter. Now when you enter the temple and shout damn it, something bad must have happened.
"What is the matter with Lord Chu?" Mu Chun asked.
Before Lou Qi sent the credentials, Weichen received a secret letter from Gao Li, saying that as long as Weichen could dispel Chiyun's concerns and help him visit Chiyun smoothly, there would be a way to let the little girl enter the palace as a concubine.
The old minister saw that his words were sincere, thinking that it was not a bad thing for Lou Qi to conclude diplomatic relations with Chiyun, and because of Yin'er's selfishness, he responded to the matter. But today's behavior when he saw Gao Li at the palace banquet for Princess Ji was not a common rule for the imperial doctor, for fear that this person would be deceitful, so the old minister did not dare to deceive the emperor again, so he rushed to report overnight. ”
Listening to Chu Huai's words, Mu Chunju's originally gloomy eyes became even more gray. If there is no letter, this mistake can be regarded as forgetting in a hurry. But in order to enter the palace, this person even exchanged private messages with the minister, and his sinister intentions have been clearly exposed.
Chu Huai saw Mu Chun twisting his eyebrows and his face was full of anger, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is the old minister's confusion for a while, if the emperor wants to reduce the crime, the old minister will bear it alone, and it has nothing to do with Yin'er." ”
Hearing him mention Chu Yin, Mu Chun snorted coldly and said: "Taifu Chu has been loyal to Chiyun all his life, and he will never do this thing to deceive the county lord and collude with other countries. I think your daughter is the one who pulls the strings, right!? ”
"Your Majesty! Yin'er ...... "Chu Huai saw that Mu Chun decided to see through it, and wanted to argue something for his daughter, but Mu Chun was drunk:
"That's it! Stand down! Let me thoroughly investigate this matter before making a decision, and you will go back and tell your daughter that if you dare to collude with Gao Li again, I will be punished for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country! ”
"Yes! Be! Chu Huai responded.
Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is the crime of punishing the nine clans, if Mu Chun really surrenders his guilt, I am afraid that more than 110 members of his Chu family will suffer.
After Chu Huai left, Mu Chun turned around and was about to rush back to Qinghua Palace, but was stopped by a voice behind him, and when he turned his head, he turned his head and saw that it was Gao Li. Seeing this, a pair of green eyes on the eaves quietly jumped out of the small hole.
"Why are you here?" Mu Chunju's eyes were deep, and his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword hanging from his waist, ready to strike at any time.
There is only one room in this imperial study, and the door is on his side. The person in front of me seemed to appear out of thin air, which made people's scalp tingle.
Hearing Mu Chun's question, Gao Li's face was gloomy, and the previous humility at the banquet was completely gone, replaced by irrepressible arrogance and laughter.
"How could I be here? Shouldn't I be here? Have you forgotten how you drove the old man out of the Red Cloud Desert? ”
"You're Gu Yan?" Mu Chun Jue spit out this name with a surprised face, although the person in front of him had no imagination from his body shape to appearance, but his cruel eyes were the same as Gu Yan.
"Humph! It's been twenty years, and the child who didn't want to escape from my hands that day has become the emperor. Gu Yan's eyes were cold, and his pale look was very inconsistent with the young skin he was now.
Hearing that he dared to mention the incident of twenty years ago, Mu Chun's eyes were awe-inspiring, and with a snort~~, the sword was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Gu Yan, and shouted: "Twenty years ago, you let you escape, and today you have sent it to the door, don't want to get out alive!" ”
Looking at the sharp sword blade in front of him, Gu Yan was not afraid at all, but laughed even more unscrupulously: "Do you really think you can kill me?" ”
Before the words fell, the person in front of him disappeared out of thin air, Mu Chun looked around vigilantly, and suddenly turned around, and Gu Yan appeared in front of him again. Daoist Chong Yuan once said that Gu Yan could go anywhere at will, and now it seems that this secret technique is really terrifying!
"What is your purpose?" Mu Chun didn't dare to underestimate the enemy at this moment. There was such a big movement in the house, but the guards at the door did not rush in, there was only one possibility, the guards and the wolf army outside might have ......
Seeing that Mu Chun was more vigilant, the more Gu Yan looked calm and relaxed, and sat on the group mat and said with a wicked smile: "The throne takes turns, and when I come to my house today, the old man just wants to try the emperor's position after all these twists and turns, if you are willing to give it today, the old man will save trouble, and he may be able to spare your life when he is happy." If not...... Today is your time of death. ”
"The throne!? Don't you think! ”
Mu Chun clenched the hilt of his sword and rushed over, but just as the tip of the sword was about to touch Gu Yan's throat, there was nothing in front of him. Mu Chun had expected such a result, and then spun around and stabbed behind him. When he first saw Gu Yan's sleeve, he was in the air again.
Oh woo~~
A familiar wolf howl sounded, and then more than a dozen wolf soldiers broke in from outside the house. Mu Chun's determination trembled, and he felt bad and asked, "Night peep, why are you here?" What about Qin'er? ”
As soon as the words fell, Gu Yan flashed out of the door, and Mu Chun immediately flew to chase after him.
He couldn't see Gu Yan's figure, but at this moment, he didn't hesitate to rush to Qinghua Palace. Ye Peep must have left Ai Qing to come to the rescue after hearing the news from the wolf soldiers guarding the imperial study, but in this way, Ai Qing would be in danger, and he had to rush to her side as soon as possible.
Seeing that the master was in such a hurry, Ye Peep led the wolf army to quickly chase after him, and a few wolf howls shook the entire palace.
For a time, the remaining more than 2,000 wolves in the palace also rushed from the palace in all directions.
One by one, the electric lights lit up, including those in the Qinghua Palace.
Ai Qing was awakened by the howl of wolves, but found that Mu Chun was definitely not there, and wanted to get up and ask what happened, but was stopped by the wolf soldiers. Looking at it again, there was only one night peep missing from the wolf soldiers in the room, and my heart was even more uneasy.
But thinking of the child in her belly, Ai Qing still tried her best to settle down, sat on the edge of the bed and told Ah Qi to go out to find out the news.
And Mu Chunju, just as he was about to arrive at the Qinghua Palace, he was stopped by Gu Yan who suddenly appeared again.
On the fifteenth day of today, when the bright moon was in the sky, the two faced each other on the eaves, surrounded by wolf soldiers and guards who came in a hurry.
The roar of the wolf soldiers resounded in the middle of the night, and the people who were closer to the palace were awakened by the roar, thinking that the old wolf howling vision had returned.
And the tense atmosphere in the palace was even worse, and the Lou Qi soldiers who came with Gu Yan rushed out, although there were only a few dozen people, but they all forgot to die, just like losing their souls for Gu Yan's life.
"Gu Yan, it's time to settle the accounts of twenty years ago!" Mu Chun held the sword in his backhand, his ink-colored clothes blended with the night, and his resolute silhouette was full of murderous aura.
But Gu Yan still had an indifferent look, without any fear at all, and asked with a wicked smile: "You want to kill me for those little things twenty years ago?" If I tell you that the poison that killed your two brothers was also sent to Mu Tianji by the old man himself, wouldn't you want to break my body into ten thousand pieces? ”
"What did you say?" Mu Chun clenched his teeth, the blood in his eyes rose, and he stabbed it with a swing of his sword.
The lowly Chiyun guards and the wolf army also fought with Lou Qi's army.
The sound of swords and wails reached Ai Qing's ears, she couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked towards the door, but was once again blocked by a room of wolf soldiers.
Fang Cai Ye Peep had already instructed them to protect the hostess, not to let her go out of the room for half a step, these wolf soldiers are very spiritual, and naturally know that Ye Peep does not want the hostess to be frightened, so they forced Ai Qing back to the bed and sat down step by step.
"Niangniang"
At this time, Ah Qi, who went out to investigate the news, also came back, and there was a mess in the palace, and she didn't really ask anything, only knowing that at this moment, the Chiyun army and Lou Qi's army were fighting, and Mu Chun decided to confront the imperial doctor named Gao Li standing on the eaves.
But she knew that if she told the truth, her mother would be in a hurry, afraid that she would have a fetal gas, Aqi could only lie and say: "Lou Qi made the army rebel, the emperor has ordered the wolf army to dispatch after discovering it, and it has been wiped out at this moment, Niangniang can rest assured, the emperor is afraid that the outside is too chaotic and will accidentally injure Niangniang, so he ordered the wolf soldiers to guard here and not allow Niangniang to go out." ”
Ai Qing was slightly relieved when he heard this, in fact, Lou Qi's army was indeed wiped out in just a moment.
Only Mu Chun and Gu Yan are still fighting on the rooftop, saying that they are fighting, but it is more like chasing and escaping. Night Peep rushed to the roof with more than a dozen wolf armies to cooperate with Mu Chun to encircle and suppress Gu Yan. But in the night, he felt that Gu Yan's figure appeared from time to time, and the wolf soldiers who were so alert and alert couldn't even notice how Gu Yan flashed in front of him, and only felt dazzled.
