Gu Shengchao knew that the other party was a woman, and he was shocked and took a few steps back. The black-faced woman was also angry when she was caught in the chest by a man, and her internal force leaked out, Gu Shengchao felt that the Five Souls Array was vibrating, and she was pushed away by a force. The woman actually broke Gu Shengchao's Five Soul Array, she swung her scimitar and slashed at Gu Shengchao's arm, he quickly retreated, holding the remaining scimitar to protect the emperor's side.

Gu Shengchao was shocked, the Five Souls Array was broken, and it was related to his laxity after knowing that the other party was a woman, but the strength of a woman should not be underestimated.

A long howl suddenly sounded on the surface of the lake, and the sound resounded through the sky, causing everyone's earholes to buzz.

Gu Shengchao looked up, and a boat was coming quickly. The boat is long and narrow, and many oars on both sides poke out of the hole and paddle the water, looking like a huge centipede cruising on the surface of the lake from a distance. There is a female wall on the walkway, and there are no soldier handles, and only one person stands on it. This person's robe is fluttering, and he is as steady as Mount Tai on the high-speed and swaying boat, like an immortal descending to earth.

"Senior Lu!" Gu Shengchao saw that it was Lu Chuan, and he waved his hand at Lu Chuan and shouted, "I'm here." ”

Walking like a gull flying against the surface of the lake, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the bottom of the boat, Lu Chuan raised his arms and said, "Take the emperor down, I will take you away." ”

Gu Shengchao turned around, the Imperial Forest Army saw how powerful he was, and he dared to get close to avoid it from afar, and the black-faced woman was also very jealous of him, and stood aside vigilantly.

"Here you go." The scimitar in Gu Shengchao's hand was thrown towards the big hole that the black-faced woman had broken out, and he took the opportunity to pick up the emperor a few steps and came to the side of the daughter's wall, and jumped down when he saw the position that the walker was about to reach.

The black-faced woman flew up and was about to chase after her, she was suddenly stunned when she saw Lu Chuan, although Lu Chuan's elegant appearance was elegant, but the coercion released made the woman feel frightened and did not dare to jump off. She glared at Lu Chuan resentfully, and jumped down from the big hole to find another scimitar.

There are five floors in the ship, and the side of the ship is nearly seven or eight stories high, jumping from such a high place, the emperor has already been so frightened that the three souls and seven spirits have flown out of the clouds, which is no different from death. Gu Shengchao stared at the bottom, about to fall on the boat, he was just about to raise his breath to buffer the strength of the fall, Lu Chuan had already pushed out the internal force, and the two of them seemed to be gently hugged by someone, standing steadily.

Lu Chuan let out another long howl, and the man in the boat was ordered to paddle desperately, and the boat carried the three of them towards the shore.

Wen Zhe on the boat was dumbfounded at this time, the reason why he was able to dominate the world and say everything in the court was that he held the emperor hostage and ordered the three armies in the name of the Son of Heaven. Now that the emperor is not in the palm of his hand, of course he is afraid. Wen Zhe ordered frantically in the direction of the walker, "Shoot me, stop them." ”

The emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, how dare he hurt. The Imperial Guards were forced by Wen Zhe's obscenity, so they had to symbolically shoot a few arrows indiscriminately, that is, Zhongxin and his desperate bow were shot, and the distance was too far to give up halfway, and they couldn't reach it at all.

The prince was overjoyed, waved his hand and ordered: "Set fire." ”

In an instant, the large and small crockpots filled with grease rained down and fell to all corners of the ship, and then rockets and fire crossbows were also shot, and the ship instantly fell into a sea of fire. The ships around knew that the general situation was gone, and they rowed into the distance one after another, and each fled for his life.

Wen Zhe, the empress and the crown prince were panicked on the boat, running back and forth helplessly, seeing that the fire was spreading on the boat and there was no hope of survival, they all gritted their teeth and jumped into the lake. Although Wen Zhe was a eunuch with a disability, he was a man after all, and he jumped down and jumped into the lake. The queen mother was weak, and the daughter wall upstairs was from the bottom to the top of each floor in turn, and she hugged the prince and jumped down just to fall on the bottom side of the boat, and her head was smashed on the hard wood, and the prince in her arms was thrown out and sank into the lake.

"Your Highness, do you want to save it?" Fan Lixin looked at the tragic situation in front of him and asked the Nine Emperor Princes.

The prince bowed his head and pondered silently, and after a while, he raised his head and said: "To save, let everyone know my benevolence and righteousness, but don't let anyone come up alive." ”

Fan Lixin immediately understood the prince's intentions, and he stood on the bow of the boat and shouted: "Save people, save people." With that, he picked up a spear and plunged it into the water, and several of them grabbed the side of the boat and dared to catch their breath, but they were stabbed into the water. More people followed Fan Lixin's example, shouting "save people" while stabbing their spears into the water, and blood stained half of the lake.

For a long time, no one in the lake was left alive, and the remnants of the once tall and luxurious buildings and boats were left to float and sink on the surface of the lake. Everyone counted the battlefield and confirmed that Wen Zhe and the crown prince had died, and the prince returned triumphantly and led everyone back to the shore.

The emperor had already been brought ashore by Lu Chuan and Gu Shengchao, and sat down on the prepared dragon chair, and Lu Erge led a team to surround and protect the emperor's integrity.

After the prince went ashore, he came straight to the emperor, knelt down on his knees and bowed: "The father and the emperor forgive the sin, and the son is too late to save the car." ”

The emperor's lips trembled, and he reluctantly raised his hand and asked, "The crown prince is young, what about others?" ”

"Back to his father, the crown prince jumped into the water by himself and died without being rescued." The prince replied crisply.

The emperor looked at the lake at night, as if he had aged a lot, and he couldn't say a thousand words in his heart, and finally only said one word: "Good." He stopped talking, and his eyes became dull.

The prince stood up and asked, "Is the fireworks show not over, go on!" ”

After a while, fireworks rose into the night sky and burst into flames, reflecting the colorful reflection between the heavens and the earth, and the blood-red on the lake was also very eye-catching.

The emperor was trembling and could no longer take a step, nor did he have the strength to stand up, so he was lifted up and carried into a sedan chair, and returned to the capital against the backdrop of bright fireworks. The prince led the crowd on horseback and then strutted as a victor.

The prince won a complete victory, and that night, the prison door of the criminal department was opened, and all the criminals were released except for the temporary detention of those who committed murder and arson. Ding Ying walked out of the prison door and saw her master Fang Xingdan and Lu Chuan, and immediately became so sad that she couldn't help herself, and knelt on the ground and hugged Fang Xingdan's thighs and cried bitterly. Gu Shengchao hired a vehicle and dragged their master and apprentice back to the inn.

About to return to the Donglai Inn, the flag of the "Perfume Shop" of a shop on the side of the road fluttered in the wind, and a large kettle was hung next to it.

"What's wrong?" Fang Xingdan said uneasily, the recent changes made her a little sensitive, lest there be another incident.

Gu Shengchao smiled and said embarrassedly: "Back to the seniors, there is a perfume shop at the moment, why don't I drink tea with Senior Lu first, and you accompany Miss Ding Ying to go inside for a while?" ”

"Really?" Fang Xingdan lifted the sedan curtain and looked at it, and jumped off the lane with Ding Ying one after another: "It's okay, you drink tea first, and we will come out when we go." ”

The perfume shop is a tea room on the street, where people drink tea and chat, and behind it is a bathroom, which provides bathing services. Fang Xingdan's master and apprentice went to the back bathroom to take a bath, and Lu Chuan and Gu Shengchao drank tea and waited in front. Gu Shengchao waited for a moment and remembered that Ding Ying's clothes were filthy and no longer suitable for wearing, so he explained the situation to Lu Chuan and hurriedly went back to find Liu Ximei.

Liu Ximei quickly packed a clean suit when she learned of the situation, and when she handed it to Gu Shengchao, her face was embarrassed: "Miss Ding Ying is back this time, you have to enlighten well, and don't act recklessly." Gu Shengchao agreed to leave with his clothes, but Liu Ximei was uneasy, sitting there upset, feeling that something was pressing and breathless.

Gu Shengchao returned to the perfume shop, handed a woman's dress to the man and handed it inside, he and Lu Chuan had just finished drinking a pot of tea, and Fang Xingdan and Ding Ying came out of it after bathing.

Ding Ying coiled her horse bun, her black hair like a waterfall was draped over her shoulders, and her plain makeup showed her unique freshness and elegance, like a hibiscus out of the water. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and the chivalrous spirit engraved in the depths of her bone marrow, coupled with her unadorned face, highlights the dignified and generous elegance and dignity. She saluted Lu Chuan Yingying and said, "Thank you Senior Lu for saving your life." ”

Lu Chuan waved his hand and laughed heartily: "The girl is polite, your master and I treat you as our own daughter, you were wronged and imprisoned, and we didn't come to save you in time, it was our dereliction of responsibility that made you suffer." Lu Chuan glanced at Gu Shengchao, smiled unnaturally, and said, "It's that Shengchao has been busy from the beginning, and he has been working hard for you." ”

Ding Ying looked at Gu Shengchao with mixed feelings, and had endless words to tell, but she was embarrassed to speak in front of the two seniors, so she had to hide the joy in her heart and said politely: "Thank you Brother Gu." ”

Gu Shengchao scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Why don't you go back to the inn first, it's still a long time, let's talk slowly when we go back." ”

Fang Xingdan thought about it, and thought for a while: "It's okay, or Brother Lu and Shengchao go back first, anyway, the inn is not far ahead, I haven't seen the girl for many days, and we will talk while walking." ”

"Let's take the car, it's faster." Gu Shengchao didn't understand Fang Xingdan's intentions, Lu Chuan had already understood, he patted Gu Shengchao on the shoulder: "Let's go back first, I'm tired, you pull me back to lie down for a while." ”

Gu Shengchao didn't understand, so he drove Lu Chuan back, he went to the stable to tie the horse and immediately returned to the guest room, prepared hot tea and patiently waited for the arrival of Fang Xingdan's master and apprentice. After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, Fang Xingdan's master and apprentice were late, and Gu Shengchao hurriedly got up to greet him: "I'm back, sit down and drink tea." He touched the teapot and said, "The water is also cold, I'll go make tea again." ”

"No, Master told me, I'll leave later." Ding Ying said coldly, completely without the warmth she had in the perfume shop.

"What, you're leaving." The ancient saint was puzzled.

Fang Xingdan pulled Lu Chuan, and the two went out quietly, leaving only Gu Shengchao and Ding Ying in the house.

"Sit down." Gu Shengchao put his hands on the chair and sent it behind Ding Ying.

Ding Ying pushed away fiercely: "Don't be courteous with me, I'm not the kind of frivolous woman, and I don't know shame when I am as good as I can be." ”

Only then did Gu Shengchao understand that Fang Xingdan had separated them in order to better talk to Ding Ying about Liu Ximei. "No, not what you think," he explained. ”

"I don't care." Ding Ying interrupted his defense and said menacingly: "Anyway, with me without her, with her without me, you can watch it." If you can't bear that woman, my master will wait for me outside, and I will go back with them immediately. If you want to keep me, you must let that woman go and never associate with her again. ”

"I ......" Gu Shengchao was speechless.

Ding Ying is his partner in life and death, that kind of feeling is indescribable, it is heartfelt care and love. Liu Ximei is different, at first it was just sympathy and ordinary care, but as the relationship between the two became closer and sublimated, the deep love and attachment to him was hard to forget.

Gu Shengchao was in a dilemma between trade-offs.

Ding Ying saw his wandering and said resolutely: "Okay, I'll go." Without hesitation, she turned away.

Gu Shengchao chased two steps and stood still, what if he caught up, did he really want to leave her, so what should Liu Ximei do? Ding Ying is accompanied by her master, Liu Ximei, a lonely and weak woman, how to survive on the rivers and lakes. He stood in the room, torn between mistakes and mistakes.

After a long time, Gu Shengchao still decided to go back and settle down first. He walked back to the guest room with heavy steps, and a lone lamp was lit in the room, but Liu Ximei was nowhere to be seen.

"Ah Mei." Gu Shengchao shouted softly, no one answered, and the gentle figure that would pounce on him at any time disappeared. Gu Shengchao searched around, the bed was cleaned up, and the package that Liu Ximei was carrying was gone.

He panicked.

There was a note left on the table, which was Liu Ximei's familiar pen style: I'm leaving, I wish you all old age, eyebrows.

The note also left two tear stains.

The tears are not dry, but the people are not there.
