Chapter 986: The night is slightly cool
"Rest early, we'll be in town early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Gongsun Huan lay down on the ground, for him, the leaky wooden hut in the farmhouse not only did not provide him with a sense of security, but also became an obstacle to his performance.
The habit of wandering on the rivers and lakes for many years made Gongsun Huan prefer to be a bed in the wilderness rather than stay in a house that will collapse in the next second.
The Thousand Faces Dharma King looked down at Gongsun Huan, who was resting with his eyes closed, and sneered: "It seems that you have to go to the Longtan Tiger's Den, but you have thought about it, if you go in, then there is really no turning back." β
The Thousand Faces Dharma King was a foot away from Gongsun Huan, and he also sat on the ground, and he said in a deep voice: "You and I appear on the streets of the capital, once they are discovered by the Jinyi Guard, they will not show the slightest mercy. β
"I know." Gongsun Huan replied without opening his eyes.
"You're begging for death," King Thousand Faces glanced at Gongsun Huan and said indifferently, "This seat will never enter the city." β
"Staying outside is a dead end."
Gongsun Huan continued to close his eyes and recuperate, he said: "There is a Jinyi guard in the city, which is a big problem for us, but the same is true for her. β
Gongsun Huan's tone was a little determined: "Only if she casts a mouse trap, we can survive, otherwise, in the face of endless pursuit, do you really think that the sect leader will turn his face against her for you and me?" β
The Thousand Faces Dharma King was silent, and after a while, he suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "Back then, I thought that I would be able to sit back and relax when I joined His Highness's command, but who knew that I would still be reduced to this step. β
There was a rare tiredness in the tone of the Thousand Faces King, which he rarely showed when he had always been arrogant.
At this moment, Gongsun Huan's eyes opened slightly, he looked at the starry sky above his head, and said in a cold tone: "Believe me, she will never let any of us go, no matter how high the price she offers you, she will not waver in her heart if she wants to kill you." β
Saying that, Gongsun Huan sneered: "It's better to say, the more she offers you a high price, the more it proves that she wants your life." β
The face of the Thousand Faces Dharma King changed several times, and his eyes were even more cloudy, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse tone: "Since there is a dead end on the left and right, why can't this seat fight, maybe His Highness can spare my life with great mercy?" β
The more the Thousand Faces Dharma King spoke, the more he felt that this was the case: "Today's rivers and lakes, with the martial arts of this seat, I dare not assert that there is no invincible opponent, but I can beat me by no means by five fingers, Your Highness keeps me, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." β
Gongsun Huan smiled, he pointed to the majestic city wall in the distance, and said in a mocking tone: "See that, no matter how strong your martial arts are, you can defeat ten people and hundreds of people, but what if there are thousands of people?" β
The face of the Thousand Faces Dharma King sank again, and Gongsun Huan broke his illusion in a cold voice: "After this city wall, the martial arts of the rivers and lakes are of no use, don't be stupid anymore, only I am your only hope." β
The Thousand Faces did not reply, and after a long time, he said, "In that case, please show me the way." β
Gongsun Huan slowly sat up, looked at the Thousand Faces King seriously and asked, "I know you betrayed me, but I'm not sure how much information you betrayed me, don't hide it if you want to live." β
Although he knew that the other party had doubted himself, Gongsun Huan's determined tone still made the Thousand Faces Dharma King feel a sense of shame, but he quickly put these useless emotions aside.
"Almost," King Thousand Faces thought for a moment and said, "But I didn't say anything about your coming to the capital, after all, I didn't expect that you would dare to come to Jinyiwei's lair." β
"In other words, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess now thinks that I am still picking up garbage in those ruins of the medical city?"
Gongsun Huan's brows tightened, and after a moment, he shook his head: "No, she should have expected it, even if you didn't send the message, she should have guessed that I wouldn't sit there and wait for death." β
The Thousand Faces Dharma King nodded and said, "Then now we can only pray that this Highness will not guess that you dare to enter the capital alone, otherwise if she is prepared, you and I will be in great trouble." β
Gongsun Huan pondered, and after a while, he said in a condensed voice: "After entering Beijing tomorrow, don't go to Jinyiwei to test anything for the time being, let's think about staying in the city first, and wait for the news on the rivers and lakes." β
"That's all it takes," said the Thousand Faces King with some apprehension, "Are you really sure, what if the Jinyi Guard finds out about us?" β
"Believe me, you still have a chance of life in the edict prison, Lord Lu knows the value of you and me, as long as the East Palace does not fall for a day, you and I will still be useful to him, and it is not a problem to leave a life, but if you and I fall into the hands of the crown princess, then there is only a dead end."
Gongsun Huan sighed, the cool breeze was slightly blowing, and under the dark night, a cold laughter sounded: "Wise judgment." β
"What people!"
The Thousand Faced Dharma King rose from the ground almost instantly, and he raised his hand to use his True Qi to kick off the mud and dust tornado, sweeping straight in the direction of the sound.
Suddenly, the wind was blowing on the small hill, and the true qi was like a wave, but I saw a faint light flickering non-stop, like the ghost fire on the Lechuan River, and the two of them seemed to have the sound of lost souls in their ears.
"Ho-ho-ho."
In the midst of the strange laughter, a short man dressed in a wide gray coat appeared in the sight of the two, holding a rattle in one hand and a mourning flag in the other, and the fluttering white cloth sent chills down the spine in the night.
"It's a pity that you can think of this step, worthy of Mr. Gongsun, your wisdom is often praised even by His Royal Highness."
The man had a strange voice, neither male nor female, even if the Thousand Faces Dharma King was well-informed, he was a little stunned for a while, but Gongsun Huan said the details of the other party in one sentence.
"I don't know which father-in-law is in person, father-in-law is talking like this, it must be a person from His Royal Highness's door, since this is the case, the father-in-law should know that this place is not far from the capital, once we do it, soon Jinyiwei will be aware of it."
Gongsun Huan stepped forward a few feet, and crossed to the front of the Thousand Faces Dharma King, the two of them had a clear priority, only to hear his tone indifferent, as if he had a bamboo in his chest: "Father-in-law does this, he is not afraid of Jinyi Wei stirring up the situation, and the snipe and clam are fighting, but it is cheaper for the fisherman?" β
"How to settle the account is the business of the gentleman, the old slave came today just to obey the order."
The bell in the father-in-law's hand shook slightly, and under the night, a figure covered with white cloth and veil came out one by one, and surrounded Gongsun Huan and the King of the Thousand Faces.
"Hmph, just with these wastes, you dare to argue with this seat? Who are you, you old eunuch! The King of the Thousand Faces sneered, pushed with both palms, and the wind and waves rose again, and a fierce battle was about to break out.
Rumbleββ!
A huge explosion broke the silence of the night, and in the small idle garden, the white child in Shang Luo's hand fell in response, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "What movement?" β
Sitting in front of her, Huangfu Xiaoyuan's brows frowned slightly, she looked up at Shang Luo, and said lightly: "You stay here and don't move, I'll go out and have a look." β
