Chapter 124: The Contest Between Brothers

"Judging from all the circumstances, it means that His Royal Highness is sick, and the illness is not light!" Gu Yun said with certainty.

"Sick?" the eldest prince asked urgently, but there was a little joy in his expression.

"Well, although His Royal Highness is sick, you are going to visit the imperial brother, and you must be the first to go, try to express your concern, so that His Majesty the Emperor feels that you are selfless and open-minded, so I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will add a lot of points to the imperial brother in his heart. Gu Yun stared at the eyes of the eldest prince and said.

"Oh! That's not bad. Then I'll go and see it now?" the eldest prince looked at Gu Yun with an inquiring look.

"I can't go now, judging from the current situation, His Royal Highness doesn't want everyone to know that he is sick, so you will be the first to go tomorrow morning to see him, go now, this midnight three watches, let others see what you and the Fourth Highness are going to do." Gu Yun directly vetoed it.

"Well, it's still Brother Gu's thoughtfulness. But tomorrow my father wants to let a few of us report to him on what we have done recently, maybe as soon as the fourth brother comes back, he also wants to score our ability to do things. The eldest prince nodded yes, but it was difficult in terms of time.

"It's better this way!" Gu Yun said excitedly: "Then go early tomorrow morning, don't go to see your father and emperor, just go to see the fourth highness." ”

"Why is that?" the eldest prince was a little puzzled.

"What do you think, what are you doing more important than the illness of the Fourth Highness?" asked Gu Yun.

"That's obviously the fourth brother's illness is important, the fourth brother has made such a great contribution this time, I don't know what he has become in my father's mind, how can I compare with the little things I did. The eldest prince looked a little frustrated.

"Hmm, so if you don't report your results and go to see the Fourth Highness, it means that you regard the illness of the Fourth Highness as more important than your grades, so what does His Majesty the Emperor think? I'm afraid that the score added to your heart is much more than your grades, right?" Gu Yun stared at the eldest prince and asked.

"Ahh "The eldest prince was a little happy. Although it is said that the four princes are the strongest competitors, they will not lose anything if they look at themselves, and the four princes will not have more, but for him, this is to leave a good influence in the eyes of his father and the emperor, so as to occupy a relatively good position.

"Also, His Royal Highness obviously doesn't want people to know about his illness, but you can't keep this secret for him, although it doesn't need to be spread widely, but at least let your father know, it's best to let your father see your anxious appearance in front of His Royal Highness's bed. Gu Yun thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, just what to do?" asked the eldest prince.

"When you go to see, if you see that His Royal Highness is bedridden, you can let people enter the palace to report. If the Fourth Highness can still act, then you yourself go into the palace and report what you see to your father, no matter what, let your father see your love for the Fourth Highness. ”

"Then it's all according to what the ancient brothers said!"

The eldest prince returned to his mansion and discussed with Mr. Liu again, and felt that what Gu Yun said was not bad, even if the four princes were not seriously ill, they must have a slight illness, so they went to see the four princes first and then talked about their official duties, which can leave a very good impression in the emperor's heart, so as to gain a lot of points for his future journey.

So he and Mr. Liu designed tomorrow's steps again, especially how to let the emperor know that the fourth prince was sick but the news was not delivered by him.

Early the next morning, the eldest prince acted according to the plan of the previous night. And in the palace hall, the emperor's daily office, the second prince and the third prince have been waiting there, their father has also arrived, as part of the assessment of the prince's ability, the emperor has always attached great importance to this matter;

As time passed, the eldest prince still did not show up, and the dissatisfaction in the emperor's heart gradually revealed, and the influence on the eldest prince in his heart was gradually declining, and he muttered in his heart: This kid is too disagreeable, do you think that you have been scattered with some achievements recently, and you don't even care about your father. I don't want to think about it, what is your score compared to your fourth brother?

The second and third princes below couldn't help but be secretly happy when they looked at their father's increasingly solemn face, but they also knew that now was not the time for them to add fuel to the fire.

The second prince stood there with a calm face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Although the third prince stood there and didn't speak, his eyes showed a hint of schadenfreude: Hmph! Last time, I was suffocated by Wu Bai's incident, and you all hid far away one by one, and no one spoke for me, of course, if you don't speak, who knows if you have fallen into the well, this time, hum! You can delay such a big thing, then don't blame me for not helping you, it's not enough to not help, I have to find a way to add some more ingredients to you later, if you want to get it, you won't be able to turn over

When the third prince was thinking proudly, he heard his father speak: "Don't wait, let the two of you start first!"

When the two princes heard this, they were all excited: "Boss, we won this round, thank you for giving in." ”

The second prince stepped forward and was just about to report to the emperor the situation of the affairs he was responsible for recently, but he saw his father's close attendant whispering a word in the emperor's ear, and then the emperor waved his hand to signal not to say anything, and said to them: "Go! Your fourth brother is sick, let's go to see your fourth brother together." ”

The second prince was a little surprised: "The fourth brother is sick? ”

"It's sick, now you come with me to see your fourth brother. The Emperor said unquestionably, and then he was about to get up.

The third prince stepped forward and said, "Didn't these four brothers get well yesterday? Why are you sick today, it's not a big problem to think about it, and it's not too late for us to go after we finish talking about this." ”

Then, he saw a chilling gaze in the emperor's eyes

When the three of them rushed to the fourth prince, they saw that the eldest prince was sitting next to the fourth prince and feeding the fourth prince medicine, and the deep love was full of his eyebrows

At this moment, the unhappiness in the emperor's heart caused by the absence of the eldest prince disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the image of the eldest prince became infinitely tall in his heart

Gu Yun slept lazily in the yellow mud, the sun came out when it was high, after washing up and breakfast, he felt bored after casually looking for a sword dance, and he didn't know what attracted him to the small courtyard next to him, but the two girls had already gotten up, practicing the sword diligently, listening to Gu Yun's request to see, and did not refuse, Gu Yun went in, Qingshuang stopped to talk to him, and Zi Bing was still practicing his sword there, as if he didn't see Gu Yun.

I saw that the sword was like a continuous drizzle, immersed in every minute of space around, and suddenly turned into a pool of soft water, and a little sword light made water ripples, and in an instant, it was ice and snow, which made people feel cold, but there were red plums open, sending a trace of ambiguity

"This sword is really a wonderful dance!" Gu Yun couldn't help but praise.

Zi Bing stopped, glanced at Gu Yun with some anger in his eyes and said, "You still pretend to be a humble gentleman, how can you be so good at destroying people's interest." ”

Gu Yun saw Zi Bing look at him like that, and he was a little fascinated by the anger in his heart, and seeing that Zi Bing's words meant to blame, he immediately came back to his senses and said: "I disturbed Sister Yun's sword practice, Xiaosheng is really guilty and deserves death, I am here to accompany my sister." ”

He made the two girls laugh at once, and Zi Bing giggled and said, "You little pervert learned this from you, it's really sour." It's okay to accompany the sin, I don't want to practice anymore, you dance a sword for the sisters to see. ”

As he spoke, he casually threw the sword in his hand to Gu Yun, Gu Yun took it and took a look, there were three words on the sword, "Bingyun Sword", but there was no name of the caster, I think it was also an antiquity, the quality should be a fifth-level high-grade, Gu Yun couldn't help but secretly envy in his heart, he was worthy of being a disciple of a great sect, and the swords he took out to play with were all fifth-level high-grade treasures.

"Thank you, Sister Yun!" Gu Yun grinned.

"Don't be poor, let's practice well and show my sister!" Zi Bing urged, but Qingshuang was smiling slightly.

Gu Yun also opened the posture and danced with the killing sword, although it was said that the cultivation of the body was abolished, but it was only the power and speed of the sword that decreased, but the subtlety of the sword momentum was still the same as before, and it may even be refined, and recently, with the increase of qi cultivation, the disadvantage in speed is also made up for little by little.

I saw that the sword was fast and slow, although it didn't look so gorgeous, but the angle and speed were just right, obviously looking at the sword was extremely slow, but in a blink of an eye it was already in front of your eyes, it was obviously an extremely ordinary sword, just like splitting wood with a sword, but it gave you the feeling that there was no way to dodge, no matter from that point of view, the sword has firmly locked you

Seeing that Qingshuang also nodded again and again, although Zi Bing's expression did not change on the surface, there was obvious surprise in his eyes.

Gu Yun used the sword all the way, and Qingshuang praised: "Good swordsmanship!" The whole thing looks calm and atmospheric, the moves are ruthless and in place, and the angle is accurate. I don't know who the Venerable Master is, who actually taught a disciple as powerful as you. ”

"Sister has won the award, that's as good as you said, this swordsmanship was only honed by fighting with demon beasts in the mountains in the past, and it can't be compared to Sister Zibing's swordsmanship. Gu Yun smiled innocently.

"Hmph! I can catch my breath after praising you for two sentences, you can find out such a clever swordsmanship as a mountain boy, you are really not ashamed!" Zi Bing said sarcastically disapprovingly.

Gu Yun couldn't help but blush, firstly, he didn't want to tell the origin of this sword, and secondly, he also wanted to brag; this sword killing only has a general outline of moves, but the specific moves have to rely on themselves to explore and refine in actual combat, and there is some truth in saying that it is pondered by himself, but without those general outlines and the perceptions of his predecessors, it is obviously difficult to reach this level, so he is also a little ashamed at the moment.

At this time, it was exposed by Zi Bing, but he couldn't help but look at it pitifully
