Chapter 45: The Eve of the Decisive Battle

When Gu Shengchao saw Fan Lixin, he was anxious, because after the prince entered the palace of King Wu, he never came out, and he didn't know the situation inside. Gu Shengchao volunteered to help, but was dissuaded by Fan Lixin.

"Your Highness has his own decision, so let's wait a little longer!" Fan Lixin was calm on the surface, but he was already panicked in his heart.

While everyone was anxiously waiting, someone came to report that it was a middle-aged couple who wanted to find Gu Shengchao, Gu Shengchao was happy, and he guessed that it must be Lu Chuan and Fang Xingdan, two seniors. Gu Shengchao went to greet him, and sure enough, it was the two of them, and this time he came to inquire about the specific matters of robbing the Dharma Field, lest he remember the wrong date.

Gu Shengchao told the two seniors everything he knew recently, and said: "The old eunuch Wen Zhe wants to wipe out the power of the Nine Emperor Princes, we will do everything, as long as the old eunuch is destroyed, Miss Ding Ying will naturally return safely." I hope that the two seniors will help each other and will be able to achieve great success. ”

Lu Chuan thought for a while, looked at Fang Xingdan and asked: "What do you say, or help them go back and rescue Ding Ying's girl, and by the way, it can be regarded as helping the court to revitalize the dynasty and eliminate harm for the country and the people." ”

Fang Xingdan looked at Lu Chuan with affection, and said meekly: "Listen to Brother Lu, as long as I can rescue Ding Ying's girl, I don't care." ”

Gu Shengchao put his mind at ease and conveyed Fan Lixin's meaning that after the prince Xiaocheng ascended the throne, he would issue a holy decree to support Lu Chuan's founding of the sect. Lu Chuan didn't care about this, he was indifferent to fame and fortune, he just wanted to fly with Fang Xingdan, and he didn't want anything else.

"Where does the senior Lu live, the juniors will definitely arrive in time if they have new news." Gu Shengchao asked.

Fang Xingdan replied: "It's just behind a washer, it seems to be called Donglai Inn." ”

"Coincidentally, I live there too." Gu Shengchao was dumbfounded, he lived in the same inn with the two seniors but didn't know it, and asked the specific residence of the two seniors, only to understand that Lu Chuan and their guest room were under him, and Gu Shengchao sent the two away.

It was getting late, everyone was anxiously waiting, the prince came back safely, and everyone was relieved to see his happy expression, things should be going well. Back in the room, Gu Shengchao first reported the situation on Xian Yu Tie's side, and the prince was very pleased, he took into account that there were many eyes and ears in the capital, so he asked Gu Shengchao to invite Xian Yu Tie to meet in the mountain temple in the back mountain early tomorrow morning, which was relatively safe and not easy to be discovered.

"After all, the head of the Martial King Hall is connected to my blood, and I know what is at stake, so he promised not to interfere in the affairs between me and Wen Zhe again, and to watch as a spectator." The prince said briefly.

Fan Lixin was worried: "Do they know about Liao Weikang's death?" ”

The prince had a dry mouth, tilted his neck and drank a cup of tea, he put down the teacup and wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth and said: "I didn't say it explicitly, but just told them that our people had seen Liao Weikang's body outside the city, and the specific reason is unknown." They are also suspicious, so let them guess and let them know that our side is not so easy to deal with. The prince Xiaocheng's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Today's trip is not in vain, and I finally figured out the details of the Wuwang Palace. ”

Gu Shengchao returned to the Donglai Inn, preparing to lead Liu Ximei to meet Lu Chuan and Fang Xingdan. Liu Ximei was uneasy: "You and Miss Ding Ying knew each other before, and the two seniors must protect her, I'm afraid I'll be scolded if I go." ”

"Don't be afraid, Senior Lu is the most kind, treat me like a father, and won't blame you. Senior Fang, she listens to Senior Lu's words the most, and I don't think she will make it difficult for you. Gu Shengchao comforted her.

Liu Ximei hesitated again and again, but still agreed to Gu Shengchao's request. The two went downstairs and entered the house of Lu Chuan and Fang Xingdan, and Liu Ximei took off her mask and bowed down: "The little woman Liu Ximei met the two seniors. ”

Fang Xingdan sighed and said: "Get up, it's not easy to listen to Shengchao say that you are not easy, although you are very popular in Miaochun Pavilion, you don't want to fall so you follow him." ”

"Back to his predecessors, Shengchao Gongzi is kind-hearted and upright, and I have no regrets when I am with him." Liu Ximei got up and whispered, she stood aside timidly, just like the little daughter-in-law who had just entered the door saw her in-laws and trembled.

"It's so handsome, sit down!" Fang Xingdan didn't embarrass her.

Liu Ximei sat down sideways with nervousness, her eyes not daring to look at Lu Chuan and Fang Xingdan.

"Does that girl Ding Ying know about this?" Fang Xingdan asked directly.

"I don't know." Gu Shengchao replied truthfully, he was also afraid that Fang Xingdan would be angry, so he discussed: "I plan to wait for Miss Ding Ying to come out and negotiate this matter with her, and I won't embarrass Miss Ding Ying." ”

Fang Xingdan looked out the window and said: "Ding Ying's girl was brought up by me, she is stubborn and always hides things in her heart and doesn't want to tell others, in order to find Brother Lu as soon as possible, I ordered her to go down the mountain to find the Valley of the Four Kings, although she didn't find it, but her temperament changed greatly after she came back, and she often looked at the mountain in a daze." I asked many times but was silent, punished her for thinking on the cliff, and one night I went early to wait for her, and overheard her talking to herself, only to learn that she had a person in her heart. ”

Gu Shengchao blushed, that night he secretly went to Tianxuan Peak and heard Ding Ying talking to him, worried about his safety, of course he understood what Fang Xingdan said.

Fang Xingdan stared at Gu Shengchao and said: "Once a woman has someone in her heart, she will naturally close the door, and it will be difficult for others to walk in again, I'm afraid that the girl will be sad when she knows about it, what if she can't open it?" ”

Gu Shengchao was in a dilemma, Liu Ximei raised his head and said decisively: "Don't worry, senior, I have a way." ”

Fang Xingdan looked at her resolute eyes and couldn't help but say, "What's the solution?" ”

Liu Ximei said calmly: "Although I am older than Ding Ying's sister, if she is willing to accept me, I would rather be a concubine and call her a sister, even if it is to call a girl." The predecessors are right, once a woman has someone in her heart, it will be difficult for others to walk in again. In order to be able to accompany Shengchao Gongzi, let me do anything. ”

Fang Xingdan originally had a lot to say, but when Liu Ximei said this, she had nothing to say, and her eyes when she looked at Liu Ximei also became kind: "Alas, they are all women, I understand your thoughts, this matter is not in a hurry, let's wait for Ding Ying's girl to come out!" ”

Everyone chatted about some family life again, and then they went back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, Second Brother Lu drove Gu Shengchao to find Xian Yutie, and Xian Yutie readily agreed to go with them to the mountain temple in the back mountain. Second Brother Lu was familiar with the road and drove there, the prince Xiaocheng and Fan Lixin had been waiting for a long time, and after seeing Xian Yutie, they entered the temple side by side.

The mountain temple has long been abandoned, and from the outside, the walls are covered with vines, and the green is also unique. The three of them sat on the ground and waited patiently, and hearty laughter came from time to time in the mountain temple.

Gu Shengchao suddenly sensed that the aura of a person in the distance was gradually approaching this side, and stopped fifty steps away. He used his finger to write on the ground: Someone. Fan Lixin remained silent, and also wrote with his fingers: Several people. Gu Shengchao drew a horizontal line and drew an arrow to mark the direction. Fan Lixin pretended to enjoy the scenery and wrote at the same time: How far. Gu Shengchao wrote: Fifty steps.

Fan Lixin understood, he stretched his waist, stood up slowly, and said: "I didn't sleep well last night, I'm a little tired, you wait first, I'll go back to sleep first." ”

Second Brother Lu quipped: "Is it a new girl from Miaochun Pavilion who makes you linger and can't sleep at night." ”

Fan Lixin said loudly: "You are too picky, and one day you will give some money to live happily with me, and you will be happy to keep it." ”

"Come on, I still have to save money to marry a daughter-in-law." Second Brother Lu said with a smile.

"I'll go back and tell my brother and sister, tell her that you want to marry a second room, my brother and sister are short-tempered, see how you go back and explain." Fan Lixin deliberately made a surprised sound and drove away.

The two people in the mountain temple also noticed something strange and stopped talking.

Gu Shengchao asked: "Second Brother Lu, is my sister-in-law's temper really that big, the last time I went to drink, my sister-in-law looked meek." ”

"Of course you are all docile, when there are no outsiders, you are simply a tigress, and your sister-in-law has kung fu, and it is all tears!" Second Brother Lu knew that Gu Shengchao deliberately accosted him in order to interfere with the other party, and he didn't say a word, making up nonsense and chatting with Gu Shengchao. After a while, Gu Shengchao sensed Fan Lixin's aura and moved behind the man. Getting closer.

Gu Shengchao said: "Second Brother Lu, how old is your child, it was really naughty when I saw it last time." ”

"Seven years old, naughty, seven or eight years old dogs, no way."

As soon as Second Brother Lu's words fell, the peeping man seemed to find someone behind him, and suddenly rushed out to the side, Fan Lixin pounced into the air, and got up after the ridge to expose his upper body. Gu Shengchao was just about to chase after him to block the man's escape route, but Second Brother Lu grabbed him and whispered, "Brother Fan has a way. Gu Shengchao also remembered Fan Lixin's sickle-like secret weapon.

Sure enough, with three "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sounds, three scythe-like hidden weapons hovered and flew out, blocking the front, leaving the man with nowhere to escape. The man reluctantly turned around and swung his knife at Fan Lixin, Fan Lixin summoned the Emei stab to parry, and in an instant, three hidden weapons swirled into the man's back, and the man snorted dullly, and fell to the ground.

The princes in the mountain temple, Xiao Cheng and Xian Yutie, came out to watch, Fan Lixin clicked on the man's acupoint, carried it and threw it to the ground and said, "Your Highness, someone is peeping." ”

The man had three sharp blades stuck in his back, and it was even more painful to lose it, but he didn't say a word, and his eyes were fixed on everyone.

"Dumb, speak, who sent you." Second Brother Lu kicked the man, the man just didn't speak, Second Brother Lu was angry, pulled out a sickle from the man's back, the man snorted coldly, beads of sweat came out of his forehead, and he still didn't speak.

Second Brother Lu pulled out the remaining two sickles one after another, the man gritted his teeth and said nothing, Second Brother Lu was about to be tortured, but was stopped by the prince: "Forget it, see that he is a man who stopped the bleeding first, tied it up and escorted it back to interrogate slowly." Second Brother Lu obeyed the order and threw the man into the carriage.

The prince Xiaocheng and Xian Yutie took the same car, Fan Lixin drove it, and the two continued to discuss on the way back, Gu Shengchao and Second Brother Lu escorted the man back to the mansion.

Gu Shengchao and the prince Xiaocheng and his entourage returned to the mansion one after another, and received an edict from the palace, saying that the flower viewing festival will be held as usual tomorrow, and those who receive the edict must arrive at the shore of Luoxian Lake before Shen Shi.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night, and the prince's discussion with everyone ended late at night, and someone came to report, saying that the person who secretly followed them that day spat out and confessed that he was sent by the Criminal Department to inquire about the news.

"It's not important anymore, let's keep it for now, just wait for tomorrow to fight against the water." The prince's eyes were resolute.

Gu Shengchao returned to the Donglai Inn, and first reported to Lu Chuan and Fang Xingdan about the plan of the prince, asking them to cooperate with the action, and the two agreed without hesitation, and Gu Shengchao went back. Liu Ximei had already fallen asleep, just in case the door bolt was plugged in, Gu Shengchao called softly a few times before Liu Ximei opened the door from the inside, and the two hugged each other and fell asleep, Gu Shengchao thought about the next day's things and lay on the bed and couldn't sleep.
