The prince turned around and opened the curtain on the wall behind him, and the detailed map of Luoxian Lake was revealed. He pointed to the map and introduced: "This is the location where the Holy Lord regularly admires the flowers every year, here is the location of the Royal Forest Army's escort, and this is the location where we hide our armor." When the time comes, we will take the fireworks as a signal, and as soon as the fireworks rise into the night sky and go off, we will start to act. The Imperial Forest Army said that there were 5,000 people, and it was impossible for them all to come, and at most 500 people were scattered. Our goal is Wen Zhe, to capture the thief and the king, as long as we take the rest down first. ”

Gu Shengchao asked, "What do I need to do?" ”

"Keep the Holy One safe." The prince's eyes were resolute, and he had infinite trust in Gu Shengchao.

"Why me?" The safety of the king of a country was in his hands, and Gu Shengchao felt unprecedented pressure.

The prince looked at him, "I asked Brother Fan, you are the best person to defend the Holy Lord. The sword is not long, there will inevitably be casualties, we will inevitably have casualties in the process of eradicating Wen Zhe, the saint is the top priority, your close fist and foot kung fu is even praised by Brother Fan, only you can complete this most tricky task. In the melee, it is inevitable that some people will jump over the wall in a hurry to be unfavorable to the saint, and those who are around the saint will be worried about accidentally hurting the saint, and second, they are also afraid of scaring the saint. You are most reassuring to protect the Holy Lord with your bare hands. ”

Gu Shengchao nodded with a little thought, "Okay, I'll come." ”

The prince patted him on the shoulder excitedly: "Just wait for your words." He pointed to the map and said: "When the time comes, you will change into the official uniform of the small official and follow the official department, it should be in this position, the holy throne is here, you see how long it will take to arrive." ”

Gu Shengchao observed the map and thought for a while, "If there is no interference, you will definitely be able to reach it within four breaths." ”

"There is enough time, the same as Brother Fan's prediction. In this way, as soon as you see the fireworks go off, you will start moving slowly, and the moment you burst, you will run towards the Holy One. Remember, ignore whatever happens, even if I'm injured and my life hangs on the line. Our brigade is here, you take the Holy Lord to concentrate on this side, as long as we arrive safely, we will win. The prince said.

Gu Shengchao listened carefully, carefully observed the map, and repeatedly deduced the whole process with the prince to make sure that it was correct before leaving. Accompanied by Fan Lixin, he went to Luoxian Lake to observe on the spot and ensure that the action was foolproof.

The flowers by the Luoxian Lake are full of flowers, and people are busy putting the bonsai in place, and the flowers are also blooming in a hundred flowers. Some are graceful and luxurious, some are elegant and quiet, some are independent, some are upright and tenacious, and some are lush and enchanting. The two of them walked by the lake in the guise of overseers, scrutinizing all the issues that needed attention in the action one by one, and striving to achieve a safe victory.

Everyone lived like a year, and finally waited until the day of the flower viewing festival, Gu Shengchao was led to the ministry early, and there was nowhere to change his clothes, and he followed the secretary of the ministry. The official Shangshu surnamed Tian is thin and thin, but he is full of energy and tireless at work, which makes Gu Shengchao amazed.

The weather was unpredictable, with clear skies in the morning and overcast in the afternoon, clouds gathering and finally darkness and torrential rain pouring down. Under the uneasy attention of the people, it was still pouring heavy rain until the evening.

The long-awaited hanami festival was cancelled. Some people rejoice and some people worry.

The prince's carefully planned action was in vain, and he was depressed from top to bottom, and he locked himself in the house for a whole day without going out or seeing guests, and Fan Lixin also sighed and was listless. Gu Shengchao was even more angry, he attributed his resentment to Ding Ying's son-in-law who came to the capital to be imprisoned in prison, and behind the scenes. Everyone in Dali Temple knew about it, and soon, Gu Shengchao inquired about the residence of Shaoqing's son-in-law in Dali Temple in Beijing.

Early in the morning, a sedan chair stopped at the door, and a man walked out on crutches, and his left leg was lame, which should have been injured by Ding Ying. The servants diligently lifted the sedan curtain, the man straightened his chest and was about to raise his feet, Gu Shengchao rushed over from the shadows, stepped forward and slapped the man in the face.

"Smack!" The man turned around twice in place and was dizzy, he covered his face and stared at Gu Shengchao and said angrily: "What are you doing, why are you beating me?" ”

"It's you who hit it." Gu Shengchao punched the man in the face again, the man stumbled and fell, and threw out the crutches, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and a tooth fell out when he opened his mouth.

The man finally understood, grinning and shouting: "Beat him, hit him for me, kill me and I'll be responsible." ”

Gu Shengchao came to the man's side and cursed: "Little rabbit cub, come to our Miaochun Pavilion and call the girl and don't give money, and you still owe us gambling debts and don't pay them back." Gu Shengchao raised his foot and kicked on the man's intact right leg.

With a "click", the man's right leg was completely shattered, and the man howled like a pig, rolling on the ground in pain. The sedan chair man and the guards at the door hurriedly ran over, ready to arrest Gu Shengchao.

Gu Shengchao deliberately grabbed a handful of sand and threw it over, turned around and ran. The sedan chair man relied on his legs and feet to chase desperately, where could they catch up, and after chasing, they couldn't find Gu Shengchao's figure, so they had to return in a huff.

Back at the Donglai Inn, Gu Shengchao smiled and told Liu Ximei. The ins and outs of this matter Liu Ximei is not very clear, Gu Shengchao started from his acquaintance with Ding Ying in the cemetery, and also told Liu Ximei in detail about the Feng Wu swordsmanship he saw in the cave of Luoyawan, and finally said how he was framed and imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. Liu Ximei was angry when she heard this: "It's not an exaggeration to kill an ungrateful person like this with no conscience, why just broke his leg and was too merciful to him." ”

Gu Shengchao was speechless, "Alas, I thought I was heavy, but it turned out that I was still too soft-hearted." ”

"What's next for you?" Liu Ximei looked at him and said.

Gu Shengchao had a headache: "It's difficult to do, His Royal Highness is weak in the capital, and without a strong helper, it is also difficult to bring down Wen Zhe, and it is not easy to do." ”

Liu Ximei frowned and said: "I'm not asking about this, I'm saying that if Ding Ying's sister can return safely, what are you going to do, can she accept my existence?" ”

"This?" The ancient saint has no master, he really wanted to marry Ding Ying before he met Liu Ximei, and later met Liu Ximei, after the two of them had a skin-to-skin relationship, he sometimes thought of Ding Ying, fantasizing about the scene where the two met again, and often made difficulties, and didn't know how to face Liu Ximei. Now that he suddenly has to face such an embarrassing situation, he is really helpless.

Liu Ximei smiled, "Are you worried that I will get angry and eat your vinegar, embarrass Ding Ying's sister, and make the two of you unable to get off the stage." ”

Gu Shengchao nodded and said truthfully: "Yes, Ding Ying and I met in the cemetery, one was lame and the other lost all his internal strength, it can really be regarded as a friend of tribulation, all the way to the Seven Star Cliff, this kind of life and death experience is not understandable to ordinary people." He looked at Liu Ximei and hesitated: "A beautiful woman like Miss Ah Mei who is knowledgeable and reasonable, is willing to accompany me to old age, how can I have any more thoughts, it is really difficult to ride a tiger and dare not make a claim." ”

Liu Ximei leaned on Gu Shengchao's body, and said softly: "I have seen too many deceitful people in Miaochun Pavilion, and I have always thought that men in the world are unkind, until I know you, I know that there are really fair and honest gentlemen." As long as Ding Ying's sister is willing, I am willing to be a child, and I will be satisfied as long as I can accompany my son. ”

Gu Sheng was overwhelmed, held her soft little hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as Ding Ying comes out safely, I will definitely discuss with her and never wronged you." ”

Liu Ximei smiled with relief: "What if Ding Ying's sister returns and doesn't agree with you to have a new love, and she wants to stay and fly with you wholeheartedly, and can't allow others to snatch love?" ”

Gu Shengchao made a difficulty, he frowned and said: "I will definitely discuss it with her, if you don't achieve a month in a day, you won't achieve a year in a month, and people's hearts will be reasonable in the end, and it is impossible to mess around with strong words." ”

Liu Ximei lay in Gu Shengchao's arms, and said quietly: "Don't take it to heart, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously." ”

In the evening, the two had nothing to do, and Liu Ximei wanted to go to Vasher to see the excitement, saying that she had never been to Vasher. Gu Shengchao looked Liu Ximei up and down, and shook his head again and again: "I think it's better to forget it, you can't stop your graceful figure even if you cover your mask, you just want to make trouble, I don't want to fight with other men for you, it's not worth it, it's better to hide Jiao in Jinwu." ”

Liu Ximei smiled mysteriously, took out the things that had been prepared a long time ago, and said, "Don't be impatient, wait a while and see if it will be possible." With that, she hid behind the screen to dress up and prevent Gu Shengchao from peeking.

After a while, Liu Ximei walked out from behind the screen, and Gu Shengchao was dumbfounded, unable to believe his eyes.

Liu Ximei wore a man's robe, her long hair was tied up and put on a hat commonly used by ordinary people, her cheeks and upper and lower lips were pasted with fake beards, her forehead and the bridge of her nose were slightly smeared with gray and black pigment to cover her fair skin, and she didn't know what was added to her clothes to make her abdomen bulge, from the neck to the lower abdomen, so that people could not see her towering breasts. At first glance, it was a man with a beard and a big belly.

"How?" Liu Ximei walked around the house a few times and showed Gu Shengchao the results. Her outfit was successful, but her soft voice leaked all of a sudden.

Gu Shengchao gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's great, it's hard for me to distinguish between truth and falsehood, just don't speak loudly when you get to Vashe, no one should see it." ”

"Listen to you." Liu Ximei was excited to go out to play, she hugged Gu Shengchao's shoulders, held her throat and said in a low voice: "Brother Gu, how about going to Vasher?" ”

Gu Shengchao laughed and put his arm around her shoulder: "Brother Liu, let's go, let's have fun." ”
