Chapter 178: One Life and One Couple, Is It Enough?
I don't know why, I always have an inexplicable trust in Gu Jinxi.
Qin Nian's thin lips pursed slightly, nodded, and responded gently, "Hmm!"
"This ......" Yun Yun was suddenly a little worried, and her eyebrows frowned slightly, "The child often cries when he is sick, if he lives in Cining Palace, he is afraid of disturbing the peace of the Queen Mother." Since the princess has been imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, the courtiers can just guard the Chengwang Mansion with their thoughts. β
When Empress Dowager Xiao heard this, her eyes narrowed and she glanced at Yun Yun, and said with some angry anger, "What is the trouble or not, the mourning family likes to see children when they are old." As he spoke, he glared at Qin Xiang angrily, sighed and lowered his head, and personally bent down to help Yun Yun up, "You, but you are a great contributor to our Qin clan's royal family, and you can only live in Cining Palace with peace of mind." β
Yun Yun's body suddenly stiffened, with a flattered expression on her face, "Niangniang, this is ...... Neither the father nor Qin Yi is in the house, as the so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, and the family cannot be without an owner for a day. She lowered her head and took a deep breath, forcing herself to say in the most peaceful tone, "Father and Qin Yi have won glory for themselves, and I, as Qin Yi's wife, should also guard this family for him." β
"Prince Cheng's Mansion is not without a housekeeper, your body is so weak, and you are seriously ill, can you still dare to cheat and play tricks without your master?" β
When Yun Yun heard this, where did he dare to say anything. Even though Prince Cheng's Mansion was Prince Cheng's step-concubine in the past, Prince Cheng was generous, and the mansion also placed many soldiers who could not continue to return to the army because they were seriously injured on the battlefield. If it weren't for these people, I'm afraid that their mother and son, as well as Qin Nian, would have already died and had no place to be buried.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao's attitude was firm and unable to refuse, Yun Yun could only lower her head and said politely, "That...... Just bothered the Queen Mother for a few days. Saying that, she lowered her head, her eyes were red, and tears ran down the corners of her eyes; she was not Qin Nian, she was raised in a deep boudoir and simply did not know the world; Prince Cheng's step-concubine Xu was originally arranged by the royal family, from Prince Cheng's mansion to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, it was just jumping from one fire pit to another, and they were just hostages and handles that they used to control their father and Qin Yi.
"You kid!" Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head angrily.
"The hour is not early, and the banquet block begins. Grandmother, Queen Mother, ladies and gentlemen, please. Qin Xiang's eyes were always fixed on Gu Jinxi, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and look at the sky, lower his head and say lightly.
Empress Dowager Xiao took Yun Yun's hand, looking affectionate, "Today is a good day for our Xichu and Xia Liang to rebuild the old friendship, you can't be so bitter." In the past, the mourning family ignored it, and it will not happen again in the future. β
Originally, I thought that I would be able to rest in the Shaohua Hall for just a few hours to be close to the Empress Dowager Xiao, Concubine Chen, and even the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Lan, and then my daughter and niece would be able to marry into the royal family smoothly.
Different from the depressed and condensed atmosphere in the Shaohua Palace, go forward, walk to the main hall of the Danqing Mountain Royal Courtyard, silk and bamboo strings, blowing, playing and singing, and the dancers in various light gauze and thin clothes are elegant and dancing.
Qin Luan and Xia Yunfeng sat on the top seat, and the two of them were talking and laughing at the moment, and the ministers of the two countries were also having a happy time, just like a happy picture.
"The Queen Mother. When Qin Luan saw Empress Dowager Xiao, he got up and nodded at her, and then made a posture of false support.
"Hmm. After Empress Dowager Xiao bowed slightly, she sat on the wide soft chair that had been prepared long ago with Qin Luan's support, and smiled faintly at Xia Yunfeng, "Lord Xia, this is the first time we have met." β
Xia Yunfeng smiled slightly, "The Queen Mother is very right, but Xia is bothered." Haha-"
β......β
Looking at the few people sitting on the top seat, talking and laughing, you come and go, Gu Jinxi and Qin Rui sat at the bottom, lowered their heads and pursed their thin lips slightly.
"What are you worried about?" Qin Rui gave Gu Jinxi a cold dish with chopsticks, lowered his voice and asked with concern.
In the main hall of the royal annex, which is comparable to the size of the entire Wuyuan, hundreds of people can accommodate it, but it does not seem crowded at all. Xu was because the Xia Liangguo envoy was present, and all the people were very respectful, only in twos and threes, and the people at the front and back tables exchanged heads.
Gu Jinxi lowered his head, the faint smile on his face did not fade, he didn't even raise his eyelids, he only glanced at Qin Rui, "How do you know that I'm worried, not ...... Looking forward to it?" The last two words fluttered lightly without the slightest force.
"It's all good. Qin Rui lowered his head, the smile on his face did not fade.
The banquet continued, looking at Qin Luan and Xia Yunfeng who were sitting above, both of them clearly had their own calculations in their hearts, but they still looked smiling on the surface; And the family members of the officials sitting below are also smiling, polite and tactful.
Rao is a two-life person, and he has already learned to hide his true thoughts in his heart, but on such an occasion, Gu Jinxi is still a little uncomfortable, his thin lips are pursed, his eyebrows are frowned, and he holds the crystal clear jade cup on the delicate mahogany gold lacquer carved table in front of him, and drinks lightly.
"Do you want to go out for a walk?" staring at Gu Jinxi's slightly drunk appearance, his eyes were shining, and with charm, Qin Rui suddenly only felt that his heart moved, and he glanced around without a trace, and then stopped Gu Jinxi's waist with one hand and lowered his voice.
When the wine came up, Gu Jinxi only felt a little hot, raised his hand and gently pulled his neckline, obediently followed his heart and leaned on Qin Rui, nodded obediently, and hummed softly.
"Good!" It was rare to see Gu Jinxi like this, and the smile on Qin Rui's face did not dissipate.
Standing not far away and staggered with Xia Liang's envoys, Qin Xiang, who was tactful and tactful, never left Gu Jinxi's gaze, and when he saw such a picture, he naturally couldn't help but slide his throat, and his thin lips pursed slightly. Seeing Gu Jinxi leaning on Qin Rui's arms and leaving the palace from the side, he lowered his eyelids with deep meaning.
"The Seven Princes are really dragons and phoenixes among people, and the future is limitless, haha. "Those who can be selected by Xia Yunfeng to become envoys are naturally slippery loaches.
The beautiful words of flattery and flattery are naturally what everyone loves to hear, but as a prince, I have understood since I was a child what is called a needle in the cotton and what is a knife in the smile. The smile on Qin Xiang's face did not dissipate, but he raised his glass slightly to the Xia Liang envoy, "I'm sorry, I want to leave for a while, so please take a moment." β
"Haha, the Seventh Prince, please!" Xia Liang's envoys are not vegetarians.
At the beginning, the only lady in Gu Guogong's Mansion, who was once the fiancΓ©e of the Seventh Prince, was obsessed with this prince, even if they were far away in Xia Liang, they had heard of it. But now, looking at the situation of this person, I am afraid that it is reversed now, I heard that Miss Gu was given by the Emperor of Chu to marry King Rui of Western Chu, turned her head to look for the figures of Qin Rui and Gu Jinxi, but only saw two vacant seats, just wanted to say something but was quickly pulled away by others, and turned her head and directly left this matter behind.
The Royal Palace is different from other places, it is almost late autumn, but the delicacy of the entire Royal Palace is still beautiful.
Qin Rui took Gu Jinxi to a remote pavilion in the garden, and asked Yang Fan to go to the kitchen to prepare for wine and tea, and he was so quietly staring at the railing with his arms crossed, his chin resting weakly on his arms, staring at Gu Jinxi who was swimming around the koi in the lake, and the smile on his face never disappeared.
The cool breeze rises, the center of the lake is sparkling, the surrounding willow branches are swaying with the wind, and the silk and bamboo strings that come from the main hall are very quiet and harmonious.
Gu Jinxi's face was abnormally red, his eyes were full of sparkling, his thin lips opened and closed, and his smile did not go away, "The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and only makes Qingshan a cool city." β
"Xi'er, you're drunk. Qin Rui got up, as if he had no intention of sitting sideways beside Gu Jinxi. Yang Fan happened to come back with the sobering tea at this time, and Qin Rui just wanted to feed it to Gu Jinxi with the sobering tea, but found that the girl was already lying on the railing and fell asleep.
Seeing this, Yang Fan couldn't help frowning, pursed his thin lips, lowered his voice and said, "Master, this ......"
"This girl. Qin Rui had a little helplessness on his face, but his eyes were so full that they were almost overflowing, Rao is Yang Fan couldn't help but be a little incredulous, his own father has always been decisive in killing, and when has he ever had a love affair with children. As he spoke, he got up, took off his coat and put it on Gu Jinxi, and was about to pick up Gu Jinxi horizontally and take her back to his palace to rest, but he heard a faint voice in his ear, "Nine Emperor Uncle!"
Qin Rui and Yang Fan turned around at the same time, but they only saw Qin Xiang alone, his eyes staring lightly at Gu Jinxi, his eyes full of remorse and endless admiration, everything can be felt by anyone who has eyes.
"Look at Xi'er, don't let others disturb her. Qin Rui's eyes were half-narrowed at Qin Xiang, the corners of his mouth were hooked, but when he turned his head to look at Gu Jinxi again, there was a doting look in his eyes, with a shallow smile, as if he had changed someone.
Yang Fan lowered his head, "Yes!"
"......" Qin Xiang's thin lips snorted slightly, and he was just about to speak but was interrupted by Qin Rui, "Go over there, Xi'er finally fell asleep." β
Qin Xiang nodded, stared at Gu Jinxi deeply, and then followed Qin Rui towards the other side of the lake. The uncle and nephew looked at the age difference, but they just stood quietly in one place, looking at each other, and did not speak to each other.
The cool breeze became more and more vigorous, and the ripples in the center of the lake opened up in circles.
"If you have something to say, this king doesn't have so much time to spend with you. Qin Rui's tone was cold and a little impatient, but when he saw Gu Jinxi in the small pavilion opposite, the expression on his face couldn't help but soften a little.
Seeing this, Qin Xiang lowered his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of bitter taste, and it took a long time to almost squeeze out a sentence from his throat, "Yes Xi'er, I won't let go." β
"Won't let go?" Hearing this, Qin Rui raised his head sharply and looked Qin Xiang up and down as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and snorted coldly, "Why do you say this?" Speaking of this, he paused slightly, "Is it based on whether you are Xi'er's ex-fiancΓ©? or by your identity and status? Seventh prince Don't forget, your mansion now has a seventh imperial concubine, a side concubine, and even a concubine who is about to give birth!"
Gu Jinxi is such a proud person, that is, in the past, when he was so infatuated with Qin Xiang, he knew that Gu Jinlan and Qin Xiang were interested in each other, and they both resolutely withdrew, let alone now.
"It was just an accident!" Qin Xiang lowered his voice and roared, and raised his head to look at Qin Rui violently, "Nine Emperor Uncle, you know your body, Xi'er is only twelve now, and it will take another three years to reach it, and you ...... With your body, how many years can you accompany Xi'er? If you can't grow old together, why do you have to pull Xi'er with you and let her go?"
"Heh, accidents, then you have too many accidents. Qin Rui's eyes stared at Qin Xiang deeply, I have to say that such words are really very beautiful. For the sake of Xi'er, if Qin Xiang is really such a person who puts Xi'er first everywhere, I am afraid that this emotional drama will long have no role for him. He lowered his head, pursed his thin lips lightly, and stared at Qin Xiang, "What's more, let her go? Then who will let me go? Qin Xiang, are you qualified to say this? Don't forget, the person who hurt her the most in this world is you!"
Although he didn't want to admit it and never wanted to think about it, Gu Jinxi was so infatuated with Qin Xiang at the beginning, and what she did for him that most of her daughters couldn't do or disdained, she really treated him as the most important person in her heart. But in exchange for what, mockery, sneering...... even his own hard work has become the laughing stock of others after dinner. But every time, even if Qin Xiang treated her like that, she still deceived herself into thinking that he didn't care. But do you care? If it were now, it would have been, but at that time, even the slightest pity for a girl could not have done such a thing.
"I ......" When Qin Xiang heard this, he was immediately silent, his thin lips snorted slightly, and he wanted to say something but didn't say anything.
Looking at Qin Xiang like this, the corners of Qin Rui's mouth raised slightly, and there was a touch of disdain and contempt between his eyebrows, "Do you need this king to remind you? At the beginning of spring this year, on the painting boat of Jing'an Lake, the former Gu Jinxi was already dead and dead when you let Gu Jinlan and other nobles join forces to push her into the lake without paying attention!"
"No-" Qin Xiang suddenly couldn't bear it, closed his eyes, and snorted softly, he kept shaking his head, "It's not like this, it's not like this!" His heart twitched as if it hurt.
Qin Rui smiled coldly and stared at Qin Xiang, "Some mistakes can be reversed, but some mistakes can never be undone." If it weren't for Qin Lan, she would have been dead a long time ago. Now that she has seen through and figured it out, what's the matter, do you think she doesn't love you anymore, so you can't accept it? and want to chase her back, why don't you think about it, do you like Gu Jinxi, or ...... It's just a feeling that she used to be so obsessed with you!"
"I'm ......" Qin Xiang's chest suddenly froze when he heard this, and he lowered his head and was a little at a loss.
The corners of Qin Rui's mouth were slightly hooked, with a faint smile on his face, "She has already died for you once, what do you want her to do?"
Qin Xiang lowered his head, he knew very clearly in his heart how deeply what he had done hurt Gu Jinxi. Even now, every time he dreams back at midnight, he hates his own insolence and ignorance at the beginning, "I will make it up to her." β
Qin Rui looked up and looked at Gu Jinxi, who was sleeping peacefully on the railing, with a faint smile on his face, but when he turned his head to look at Qin Xiang, all the tenderness in his eyes was gone, and only endless ridicule remained, "Hmph, compensation? What compensation do you get? With the character of the county lord of Yunning, will you divorce your wife and remarry? Or do you think that Xi'er will be like Gu Jinlan, not fighting or grabbing, and obediently be one of the women in your backyard? Hmph, don't forget that there is a Prince Chun behind Chun Yuyun!"
"......" Qin Xiang was speechless, and suddenly became a little annoyed and angry, glaring at Qin Rui, "What about you, what can you give Xi'er?"
"One life and one couple, is it enough?" Qin Rui looked up at Qin Xiang, with a little disdain and contempt in his eyes, "Qin Xiang, you have no fate with Xi'er, the one who should let go is you!" This girl, even though she is now in the prime of her life, is the age when Chenghuan's parents are spoiled, but she has already attracted too many people.
Mo Yan, who had almost died for her, Chu Lingyang, who was determined to win, and this bastard who had only woken up when he was young and frivolous in the past. Thinking of this, Qin Rui lowered his head, with a little bitterness at the corner of his mouth, girl, girl, I really want to hide you like this, so as not to be coveted by more people.
As soon as the words fell, Qin Xiang suddenly felt his body stiff, and turned his head to look at Qin Rui, with a thick disbelief in his eyes.
"What, don't you believe it?" Qin Rui raised the tail of his eyes slightly, and his tail tone was slightly raised.
"......" do you believe it? There has never been a man in the entire Qin royal family who can be a couple for a lifetime, and he is the most infatuated Prince Cheng, and there are also several concubines in the mansion. What's more, Qin Rui is still the emperor's grandmother's favorite young son, even if he doesn't want to, the emperor's grandmother will force him to stuff people in his backyard.
Qin Rui lowered his head, the smile on his face was faint, "The girl's heart is too small and too hard, if you can't even do this request, how can you fight for it." As he spoke, he looked at Qin Xiang with a little disdain.
"That prince is waiting to see, and when the time comes, the Nine Emperor Uncles must not forget their oath. Qin Xiang glanced at Qin Rui coldly, "If you dare to live up to Xi'er, hum!"
Qin Xiang's threat was simply light to Qin Rui, and there was no strength at all.
When Gu Jinxi woke up again, it was already close to Shen, the main banquet of Danqingshan Villa was still going on, and Rao could hear those silk and bamboo string music, playing and singing from afar.
Gu Jinxi raised her hand and rubbed her sleepy eyes, her eyebrows always frowning slightly.
"Wake up?" Hearing the movement, Qin Rui casually put the book to the side, holding the teacup that had already been filled next to him, slightly lifting his internal strength, and after making sure that the water was warm, he sat sideways on the edge of the bed and stopped Gu Jinxi's upper body, "Isn't it uncomfortable, drink some hot water first, huh?"
"I'll do it myself. Even if the previous life and this life add up to more than thirty years, when facing the man in his heart, Gu Jinxi is still a little shy, and his face is flushed.
"Why is your face so red, is it sick?" Qin Rui heard this, lowered his head and stared at Gu Jinxi's pink lips, with a shy look, how could he not know what she was thinking. It's just rare to see Gu Jinxi's coquettish demeanor of a little daughter's family, one arm from Gu Jinxi's armpit through her waist, let Gu Jinxi lean on her chest, holding a teacup, holding a spoon in the other hand, with a unique magnetism and laziness in her deep voice, "Good, drink some water first." β
Gu Jinxi only felt that his body stiffened, drinking was indeed a little too much, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he took Qin Xiang's hand, and took several sips before stopping, "Is the banquet over?"
"You little lazy cat, you can still think of it. Qin Rui put the teacup aside, raised his hand and gently tapped Gu Jinxi's nose, "You have been asleep for two whole hours, most of the officials have already left with their families, and those who are left behind are the humerus ministers of the imperial court, and the people of Xia Liang's envoy are also there." "The voice is clear, not salty or light.
But Gu Jinxi's heart couldn't help but hang tightly, those who could be called the ministers of the humerus of the imperial court were naturally Qin Luan's cronies. It seems that their guess is true, if it is not for the treasure of Emperor Yuan to be in this Danqing Mountain, then Qin Luan is preparing to make a move against Xia Yunfeng and his party. Thinking of this, Gu Jinxi's heart couldn't help but hang tightly, turned her head to look out the window, and unexpectedly saw a touch of red cooking smoke, which rose slightly, she quickly lowered her head, frowned slightly, raised her hand to hold her lower abdomen, "I've slept for so long, I seem to be a little hungry." β
"Then I'll ask Yang Fan to prepare something for you to eat. "It's hard to have a beauty in her arms, Qin Rui naturally doesn't want to let go so soon.
"I want to eat the half-moon plum of the Half Moon Lent. Gu Jinxi's thin lips pursed slightly, glanced at Qin Rui shyly and timidly, took his hand, shook it gently, and his voice was almost coquettish, "Ah Rui, can you go and buy it for me, okay!"
Qin Rui looked at Gu Jinxi helplessly, lowered his eyes and quickly crossed a touch of realization, raised his hand and gently tapped Gu Jinxi's round and delicate little nose, "You girl, I'm really afraid of you." I'll go, I'll buy it for you?"
"I knew you were the best!" Gu Jinxi had a faint smile on her face.
"Then you can rest in the palace for a while, this is my dormitory, there is no one else, don't worry. At the end, Qin Rui couldn't help but whisper.
"I see. Gu Jinxi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, lowered his head, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his eyes were full of doubts and worries.
Coming out of the inner hall, Yang Fan had been guarding outside the hall, and with his ear power, the conversation between the two people inside could naturally be heard clearly, and Qin Rui didn't want to avoid him originally.
Yang Fan's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Master, then Miss Gu, she ......"
"It's fine. Qin Rui still had a faint smile on his face, but the bottom of his eyes was dark and meaningful, and he turned his head to stare at Yang Fan, "I'll go back to Liangdu for about half an hour, you are optimistic about Xi'er." β
"Yes, my subordinates understand. Yang Fan immediately lowered his head and responded respectfully, since the last incident, he originally thought that his master would not let himself come into contact with Gu Jinxi's affairs again, but he didn't want to, his master not only treated him without any change, but even handed over all the things about Gu Jinxi to him.
Qin Rui closed his eyes and took a deep breath, didn't he hate or be angry about what happened last time? Of course not, his girl was hurt so much when he was away, how could he not hate or be angry, but he understood Yang Fan's loyalty to him better than anyone else, "She can do whatever she wants, you just need to take care of her safety, don't be discovered by her." β
"......" Yang Fan lowered his head, pursed his thin lips slightly, raised his head and glanced at Qin Rui quickly, and then lowered it again, several times, but he didn't say anything.
"Whatever you have to say, just say it. Qin Rui glanced at him angrily, his eyes half-narrowed with a look that others couldn't see. Although the red smoke outside the window just now is not very obvious, it is not difficult to see clearly. What's more, the frightened expression of the girl after turning her head to look out the window is so abnormal that it is difficult for people not to pay attention.
Yang Fan's thin lips snorted slightly, his eyebrows frowned, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence from his throat, "But master, Gu Huai's identity has basically been determined, if Gu Huai goes back with the lord of Xia Liang, Miss Gu will be the princess of Xia Liangguo at that time." "If that is the case, it will be another matter whether the marriage contract given by the emperor will be completed or not.
"No one can take away the people this king wants. Qin Rui's eyes narrowed, and his tone was ruthless. Turning her head in the direction of the inner sanctum, she was the person he identified, he allowed her to fly, he allowed her to do whatever she wanted, but there was only one thing, no matter where she was, no matter how far she went, the other end of the line had to be in her own hands. Thinking about it, he turned his head and glanced at Yang Fan, "You only need to be responsible for her safety, as for the rest, this king knows it." β
"Yes!" Yang Fan responded, with a respectful attitude and a sonorous tone.
"Alright, this king should go back quickly. Qin Rui said and sighed heavily, "Don't forget to let people take care of Banxia." "With that girl's short-term temperament, if Banxia is hurt a little, I'm afraid she will have to go violent.
Yang Fan looked at his own master who was originally like gold as an iceberg a little speechless, but now because Miss Gu has become a verbose old woman, phew! This is not what he said, he quickly bowed his head, hid the banter in his eyes, and pouted.
Until there was no sound outside the door, after making sure that Qin Rui had left, Gu Jinxi couldn't hold back any longer, got up, quickly put on his clothes, and walked outside. Indeed, as Qin Rui said, the entire palace was empty, and even the footsteps of his own walking could be heard. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the worry in her heart, and finally followed the direction of the red smoke, and suddenly only felt that her lower abdomen was tight, and she actually rose into the air, and three or two dodged away from the Danqing Mountain Royal Palace, and before she could shout, she heard the familiar voice in her ears, "Sister!"
"Third brother, Xie Yi, you ......" When Gu Jinxi turned her head to see Gu Ziqian and Xie Yi, her eyes were round, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and she looked vigilantly at the Danqingshan Royal Courtyard not far away, and she could faintly hear the lively silk and bamboo string music, she lowered her voice and roared, "You guys are crazy, now the entire Danqing Mountain is being watched by the Royal Forest Army, do you know?"
After Gu Ziqian stood firmly, he gently let go of Gu Jinxi, the smile on his face was shallow, "Naturally, I know." β
"Then you still ......" Gu Jinxi's eyes were full of incomprehension.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!" Xie Yi's voice was a little shallow, "No matter whether the treasure of Emperor Yuan is in the Danqing Mountain Courtyard or not, Xi'er This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." "Qin Luan wants to calculate Xia Yunfeng, they can just be the yellow finch of the fisherman's profit.
Gu Jinxi's thin lips pursed slightly, "I'm always a little worried, you guys go down the mountain quickly." β
"Rest assured, we've found a hiding place that won't be easily discovered, and we're only here to give you this. Gu Ziqian raised his hand and handed over the things in his hand to Gu Jinxi, and turned his head to stare at the gorgeous frame that was left outside the royal courtyard, "These officials' families have almost left, and the rest are Qin Luan's cronies, if you start to do it at that time, remember to follow the places marked on the map, where we have prepared enough water and dry food to temporarily avoid the limelight." "The monarchs of two countries fight, they are all indifferent little shrimps, and if they are mixed with it, they are just senseless victims.
Hearing this, Gu Jinxi's thin lips pursed slightly, staring at Xie Yi and Gu Ziqian's slightly strange expressions, and shook his head, "No, you must have something to hide from me." Unfolding the map, following a simple tunnel, but it is directly to the top of Danqing Mountain, which is inevitably too far away, they must be doing something to support themselves so far, "No, what's going on with this tunnel?"
"......" Gu Ziqian heard this, and turned his head to look away.
"Time is urgent, we'll explain it to you later if we have the chance. Xie Yi sat in a wheelchair, his expression was still faint, his smile was shallow and calm, and his tone did not even change in the slightest.
Gu Jinxi was so smart, how could she not see the strange look on the faces of the two, she simply sat sideways on a fairly clean stone, and looked at the two of them in a daze, "Say, what's going on?" She wouldn't believe that if nothing else, they would come so risky.
β......β
When Gu Ziqian heard this, he turned his head to look at Xie Yi, the two looked at each other, and saw a little helplessness in each other's eyes, and seemed to see a little understanding. Originally, they wanted to hide it from Gu Jinxi at the beginning, but they all understood how difficult it was to hide it from Gu Jinxi. didn't say anything about it, but said that she and Gu Huai were both in this Danqing Mountain Courtyard, so it was impossible for them not to inform them.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that it's a bit of an eyesore to look at this courtyard. Xie Yi raised his head and looked at Gu Jinxi's tone was cold, but the meaning of those words was endlessly cold.
Gu Jinxi's eyes widened when she heard this, staring at Xie Yi with a thick disbelief in her eyes, "You, you are ......" At this moment, her heart was already hanging in her throat, if it was really what she thought in her heart, then they ......
"I didn't want to hide it from you. Xie Yi lowered his head, the expression on his face was always faint, "That person is not stupid, now the entire Danqing Mountain, except for the people we arranged to come in at the beginning, has already been surrounded by the entire Imperial Forest Army, and even a fly does not want to fly in." β
"There are no absolutes in the world, and don't say it too much. Gu Jinxi lowered her head and took a deep breath, as she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh heavily, looked up and swept around Gu Ziqian and Xie Yi, and finally stared at Xie Yi deeply, her eyes were burning, and her expression was unprecedentedly serious, "You have really decided?"
Xie Yi leaned his head back on the chair, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, all the struggles disappeared, replaced by endless firmness, he looked at Gu Jinxi in a daze, "Since ancient times, it is not for nothing that less wins more, but it is too difficult for our current strength to match that person." β
"So you want to completely destroy this courtyard?" and then let everyone in the courtyard bury that person, but did they forget that in addition to that person in that courtyard, there were many other people, such as Xia Yunfeng, such as Qin Nian!
As if he had seen through the thoughts in Gu Jinxi's heart, Gu Ziqian's thin lips opened and closed, and he said lightly, "On this trip to Danqing Mountain, that person and Xia Yunfeng must have come for the treasure in situ." Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then heard Gu Jinxi's cold voice.
"That's not necessarily!" Gu Jinxi pursed her thin lips slightly, her eyes were half-narrowed, and when she looked at it, the entire Danqing Mountain Range stretched for eternity, and the smile on her face was faint, revealing a little ice condensation, "Earlier, maybe because of the blockade of the Imperial Forest Army, those people in the rivers and lakes wanted to go up the mountain but couldn't, but it doesn't mean that no one is looking for those hunters who are familiar with the situation in Danqing Mountain to lead the way." Third brother, you should know that Danqing Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, not to mention the Imperial Forest Army, even if there are ten times more people who want to completely block it, it is impossible. β
"......" Indeed, even if that person wants to block, it is impossible to do it completely. After all, the most important thing in this world is people, especially those hunters who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, most of the roads they take are inaccessible places, and the people in the rivers and lakes are highly skilled in martial arts, and they are not afraid of those wild things at all. If one path doesn't work, they will choose another way, just a few more detours, but as long as they have a purpose in mind, they will always get there.
What Xi'er said is very true. Xie Yi nodded, and turned his head to look at the eternal mountain range, "A few days ago, how many centers of rivers and lakes gathered in Liangdu, they would not let go of this opportunity." Roughly calculated, I am afraid that there are more than 1,000 people who go up the mountain from all directions of Danqing Mountain now. β
When Gu Ziqian heard this, he suddenly frowned slightly and turned his head to stare at Xie Yi, "Then what should we do now, these people in the rivers and lakes are different from others, they are all ruthless characters who want money and don't want to die." β
"What does it matter. Gu Jinxi lowered his head when he heard this, with a faint smile on his face, and turned his head to look at Gu Ziqian, "Calculate the time, if those people can reach the royal palace before evening, they may be able to create a little chaos and confusion for us at that time." When the time comes, she can take the opportunity to leave with her father and Aunt Yunyun.
Xie Yi nodded, "Yes, but there is not much time, Xi'er, you can't be too soft-hearted." β
"I understand. Gu Jinxi nodded, after all, there are many people, and if it is not a heart-to-heart friendship, she will definitely not tell it. is full of calculations, except for Qin Rui, she only plans to bring Gu Huai and Qin Nian's sister-in-law. As for Meng Jingxian, her friendship with her originated from Qin Nian, but after all, her position is different, if she can, she doesn't mind saving her, but now...... Between the trade-offs, there is a give-and-take.
"We have placed thousands of catties of explosives around the Danqingshan Royal Annex. Gu Ziqian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, the charcoal and sulfur that he had been secretly letting the people of the Wuwu Chamber of Commerce collect these days finally came in handy. As he spoke, he took out a circular signal flare from his arms, "Our estimated time is around the time of the child, so sister, you must retreat with your father in advance, and wait until you reach the top of the mountain to notify you by the signal flare, and then you will ......" The latter words are no longer necessary, and the three of them can understand each other.
"Okay!" Gu Jinxi grabbed the signal flare tightly with one hand, and the green tendons on his small palm were rising.
At this moment, the three of them all fell into a deep Chen Ning, and Yang Fan, who was following Gu Jinxi, had a heart hanging in his throat, thousands of catties of explosives, so what did they want to ...... Turning his head to look at the Danqing Mountain Royal Courtyard built by the mountain, winding and spreading, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, with a deep incomprehension in his eyes. What the emperor did to the Gu family was indeed too much, but they actually wanted to...... There are too many innocent people in this royal palace, as well as their own grandfather. Thinking about it, Yang Fan's eyes fell on Gu Jinxi's body, was she really so ruthless, did she plan to abandon her own grandfather?
