Chapter 558: The Eve (4)

"It's like a woman's boudoir." Li Yuan quipped.

"Good eyesight." The servant picked his finger and praised: "This room was originally lived in by the eldest lady of our Gu family, and the eldest lady also likes to come here to live here for a few days on weekdays to see the flowers. However, in the past two or three years, the scattered flower building has been lived in by the eldest young master, and the eldest lady will no longer come, but this house is still retained, in case the eldest lady still comes to live. Li Yuan nodded slightly, as soon as he heard the servant mention Gu Yingying, Li Yuan's mind flashed Gu Yingying's beautiful face with bright eyes, and when he thought that this room was the boudoir where Gu Yingying lived, Li Yuan's heart rose with a strange feeling.

"So, does Captain Li have any other orders? The tea is on the table outside, if you are thirsty, you will bother to do it yourself, if there is no command, the villain will retire first, and Captain Li will rest early. The servant laughed.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Brother Hard, I don't have anything to do here, you should rest early." The servant bowed, walked out of the house, and closed the door with his hand.

Li Yuan came to the outside room and sat on a chair for a while, feeling a little thirsty. So he picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, but he found that the tea was still the popular brewed tea of this era, and a smell of onion and garlic rushed to his nose.

Li Yuan didn't like this kind of tea, so he poured it all into the slag hopper, and wanted to take the servant to send a pot of tea, but he thought that he would toss the servant to go upstairs again, so he gave up.

So he went into the back room, blew out the candle and lay down on the bedside, thinking for a while about how to meet the enemy tomorrow, and after a while the wine was hazy, and the drowsiness gradually rose, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

I don't know how long time has passed, Li Yuan was suddenly awakened by the neighing sound of a war horse, it was the neighing sound of his big black horse, and the neighing of the black horse seemed very familiar to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan sat up from the bed and listened carefully, and the neighing of the black horse reached his ears clearly again.

Li Yuan didn't know what the black horse was making trouble, so he put on his boots and got up and walked to the door to go downstairs to take care of it, but he stretched out his hand and pulled the door, but the door didn't move.

Li Yuan was startled, he remembered that he didn't tie the door before going to bed, but why couldn't the door open at this moment. I pulled hard twice before I realized that the door had been locked from the outside.

This surprise was not trivial, Li Yuan's spirit immediately became nervous, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword with a bang, inserted it into the crack of the door and only lightly teased,

There was a "snap", and there was a sound of things breaking outside. Li Yuan pulled the door again, the door opened, and then flashed out of the door, but saw that the staircase corridor was dark, and the surroundings were quiet.

Li Yuan slowly descended the stairs step by step, and when he reached the hall on the first floor, he could hear the sound of footsteps around him clearly, and it seemed that there were many people walking around the Sanhua Building, and there was a strange sound from time to time.

Li Yuan came to the door of the building and looked through the crack in the door. This sight made Li Yuan sweat in shock, but he saw dozens of black-clothed people running back and forth outside the building, each holding a large bundle of firewood and piling it in front of the building.

Li Yuan quickly went to the back door of the Sanhua Building, the situation was generally the same, a large pile of black mountain-like tall firewood and grass had blocked the back door tightly.

At this time, Li Yuan immediately understood what was happening, this was someone who wanted to set fire to the Sanhua Building, and the object who wanted to set fire to death was undoubtedly himself.

The large piles of firewood and grass in front of and behind the building are to prevent someone from escaping when the fire starts, and when the fire starts, the way out of the whole building is blocked, and the building can only be a dead end.

Li Yuan's mind was thinking rapidly, and he suddenly realized that this was an action by the Gu family against him.

In the morning, I had to move to this scattered flower building by myself, afraid that it would be because I could set fire to myself at night, and all this was a planned and premeditated action.

Then the reason why the Gu family wants to burn themselves to death is naturally revealed, their identity must have been known by the Gu family, and now the Gu family, who are bent on returning to the court and devoting themselves to politics, must have chosen their position, that is, to get rid of himself, the emperor of Chu who is like a great enemy, for the king of Wu Yueguo, everything is so logical.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Li Yuan's body, and his heart beat violently. It is naturally okay to rush out of the building at this moment, but when he rushes out blatantly, the Gu family sees that the plan to set fire to him will not work, and he is afraid that he will turn his face and harden it.

This is Wu Yueguo's Suzhou, this scattered flower building is the Gu family's territory, the city is full of people from his Gu family, and he may not be able to escape the Gu family's pursuit if he escapes from here, so it is unwise to break out.

For now, it is better to plan and find a way to secretly escape from here and let the Gu family set fire to the building, so that they will think that they are buried in the sea of fire, and they will hide in the shadows, and they will have a better chance of escaping.

Li Yuan made up his mind, quickly turned around and went upstairs, scolding in his heart. The Gu family is so cunning, one thing on the surface and one thing behind the other, and they actually ignore the situation that the Jin army is about to be a big enemy, and brazenly launch an assassination on themselves, is this what everyone is doing?

There is also that Gu Yingying, this woman hides well enough, she has been fascinated by her in the past few days, but she didn't expect that she was confusing herself, covering up for his Gu family's despicable methods, and she didn't know her identity when she was in Changzhou, but she pretended not to know.

Li Yuan, Li Yuan, you are really stupid, you think you have everything under control, but in fact, you have already entered the trap of others.

You are the son of heaven of a country, when will you not be confused by beauty, and can you not be so pitiful and cherished.

Li Yuan rushed upstairs while blaming himself, and walked around the corridor of the small building with his waist bent. The building is more than three zhang high, and although there are many trees around, the highest one is only a few zhang high, and there is no place to escape.

In a hurry, Li Yuan caught a glimpse of the curtains and bedding in the house, reached out and tore them, tore them into strips, connected them together, and carried them on his back to the second floor.

The cat bent his waist and went around the corridor on the second floor, saw a backlit shadow on the west side of the building, put the cloth strip rope on the end of the pillar, reached out and grabbed the cloth strip, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and slid down.

The length of the cloth was not enough, but Li Yuan saw that the branches of a willow tree fell up. As soon as they landed on the willow tree, they saw a few black shadows rushing by, but fortunately they didn't notice Li Yuan on the willow tree, but just rushed over with a large bundle of firewood, surrounding the wooden window next to the small building.

It seems that they not only want to block the door of the building, but also surround the small building with firewood to ensure that the fire is fully burned, so that they will never be able to escape.

After they had set up the firewood and left again, Li Yuan hurriedly jumped off the willow tree and slowly moved through the shelter of the rockery trees.

Soon he detoured back to the corner of the courtyard wall in front of him, and looked at Li Yuan from a hill-like rockery, only to see more than a dozen figures standing in front of the courtyard door.

Li Yuan recognized one of them at a glance, that person was long and jade-looking, it was Gu Yaode, the eldest young master of the Gu family.

The moment he saw Gu Yaode, all the speculations in Li Yuan's heart became a reality, and his teeth chattered with hatred.
