Chapter 70: Infighting in the Yunqi Palace

When the people on the dock heard the movement, they all stood up together, and Bai Pei'an said, "Hurry up and work." "The crowd was busy, as if they were carrying things to the ship.

"Elder Zhu, Elder Quan." Bai Pei'an bowed.

"Are you ready?" Elder Quan asked.

Bai Pei'an replied: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." ”

"Okay, they'll arrive later, and the two of us will go to the warehouse first to avoid, you guys do it slowly, don't show your feet." Elder Zhu settled down and entered the warehouse with Elder Quan.

A bag of cigarettes, and two more horses drove over, and Gu Shengchao recognized the person behind him, who was the elder Shui Linglong, the dean outside the Yunqi Palace. One of the men rode to the river and shouted, "Stop, who told you to secretly transport things?" ”

"Elder Gao, Elder Shui." Bai Pei'an said, he seemed to be very scared: "I, let's escort some things to the border and earn some silver to buy wine and drink." ”

"Presumptuous." Elder Gao jumped off the horse and raised his horsewhip to whip Bai Pei'an, so frightened that he covered his head with both hands and retreated again and again, Elder Gao was furious and said: "All the operations of Yunqi Palace must be presided over by the inner court, our outer court only needs assistance and support, and the rules cannot be trampled on, if I hadn't gotten the news in advance, I would have let you succeed tonight, and ruined the reputation of my outer court." ”

Shui Linglong also jumped off the horse, and everyone who was working just now stayed in place, waiting to be disposed of.

Elder Gao pointed at everyone and scolded: "They are all ungrateful bastards, Yunqi Palace has fed your family, and they are doing some crooked and evil deeds behind their backs. He picked up a small wooden box, handed it to Shui Linglong and said, "Elder Shui, what they secretly escorted this time is the musk of our cherished medicinal herb in the West Cold Country, please take a look at it." ”

Shui Linglong reached over with both hands to catch the wooden box, but unexpectedly, Elder Gao opened the lid of the box suddenly, and a puff of yellow smoke erupted, covering Shui Linglong in the middle. She inhaled a puff of smoke coldly, the taste was spicy, she suddenly felt bad, held her breath and retreated, and then tried to open her eyes, tears could not stop pouring out of her eyes. Shui Linglong raised her breath and wanted to jump away, but she fell down with weakness under her feet, and her whole body was soft and weak.

She heard a few people laughing around her, and immediately warned: "I am the elder of the foreign elder, don't come nonsense." ”

"It's a pity, the elder of the dean outside the palace died tragically by the river, which is sad." Elder Gao sighed.

"What are you going to do, I was sent by the Inner Court of Yunqi Palace, aren't you afraid of being investigated by the Inner Court?" Shui Linglong knew what they were going to do and reminded them.

Another person applauded: "Those powerful people in the inner court, they are all sanctimonious and unscrupulous, pretending to be upright every day, but in fact, in order to protect their vested interests, they have long been ruined. Sending you to the outer courtyard to go undercover is to treat you as an outcast that can be thrown away at any time, first, to save you from hindering their shady deeds, and secondly, to borrow our knife to kill you, and then blame us, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Shui Linglong was stunned: "Elder Zhu, it turns out that you are also one of them?" ”

"And me, you should be able to hear me, right?"

"Elder Quan." Shui Linglong was even more shocked.

Elder Quan stepped forward and said, "Yes, your inner court can control everything by relying on hereditary inheritance, why can't we fight for our own interests in the outer court, you are too greasy to eat meat, why don't you even give us a mouthful of hot soup to drink." ”

The more Shui Linglong rubbed her eyes, the more tears couldn't stop pouring out, and she couldn't see anything at all, so she panicked even more, she was now powerless, and life and death were in the palm of someone's hand. Shui Linglong shook her head in defense: "No, it's not what you think. ”

Elder Gao snorted coldly: "Spare you first, I still have something to ask later." He turned and beckoned to the people: "Come here, you are done today, and the bounty will be given to you now." ”

When everyone heard that they were going to give out money, they all rushed over and gathered together. Elder Gao's right hand reached into his arms, as if he wanted to take the silver, he suddenly stared at the back of everyone and said with a frightened expression, "Why are you here?" ”

Everyone was also shocked, thinking that something had happened and turned around to look, but there was no one behind them.

"Poof, poof."

Just when everyone was stunned, the three elders plus Bai Pei'an, each holding a sword, had already started to kill. Half of them died in a daze, and the remaining half had just reacted, and before they could resist, most of them were also in different places. Only the remaining two people ran away, and before they could escape far, the long swords in the hands of Elder Zhu and Elder Quan had already flown out, and after cutting off the heads of the two, they spun back into their respective palms.

Elder Gao praised: "The two elders are very skilled, as long as you let the water girl subdue the law, everything will be fine." He looked at Shui Linglong with a smile, and couldn't help but be shocked, Shui Linglong was originally sitting there, how could he disappear out of thin air in a blink of an eye. The other two elders and Bai Pei'an were also frightened, a big living person disappeared inexplicably, could she not fly away.

"She's there, chase after her." Elder Gao's eyes were sharp, and he saw a person carrying water in the distance and running wildly.

That person was Gu Shengchao, he saw that Shui Linglong was dangerous, and when they had no time to take care of it, he sneaked over and hugged Shui Linglong and ran, and after running for a distance, he found that he couldn't do it like this, and sooner or later he would be caught up, so he carried Shui Linglong on his shoulders and walked like a fly. By the time Elder Gao and the others caught up, Gu Shengchao had already rushed far away. Bai Pei'an couldn't do it internally, and he rode a horse and followed closely.

Gu Shengchao's internal strength is strong, and he carried Shui Linglong's stride meteor and left Elder Gao and them far behind, and waited until they entered Yunshang City, although Elder Gao and they were more familiar with the terrain, Gu Shengchao relied on his superior perception ability, these people chased and intercepted, and still couldn't find any trace of Gu Shengchao and the two. For the sake of safety, Gu Shengchao made a big circle in the capital, and then carried Shui Linglong into the courtyard.

"Who?" As soon as Gu Shengchao landed, Fang Ju shouted, and Yang Qianhui brought the sword and surrounded them, seeing that they were all dumbfounded.

Fang Juzui said quickly: "We didn't go back when we saw you, so we went to the noodle shop to look for you, and saw that the door was locked, and Miss was worried about your safety, and we didn't sleep." ”

Yang Qianhui carefully looked at the person Gu Shengchao was carrying and said in shock: "Isn't this Elder Shui, how can you be together?" ”

"Shh Gu Shengchao motioned for her not to speak loudly, and said in a low voice, "Elder Shui has been poisoned and needs treatment. He walked into the west wing, put Shui Linglong on the bed, lit a candle and instructed Fang Ju: "Please help Elder Shui, I want to remove poison for her." ”

Fang Ju complied, Gu Shengchao made another difficulty, how could he, a big man, do anything to a girl like Shui Linglong, he saw Yang Qianhui standing anxiously by the door, so he said, "I bother you to help Elder Shui lift his shirt and expose his back." Yang Qianhui closed the door and walked over and lifted Shui Linglong's robe upward, revealing a smooth and delicate back.

Without further ado, Gu Shengchao slapped his palms on Shui Linglong's back Lingtai and the two key points of the Destiny Gate, and according to the method taught to him by Baili Huan, the true qi in Shui Linglong's body was poured into the other party's body again through his meridians. The steam above Gu Shengchao's head kept coming out, slowly expelling the toxins in Shui Linglong's body. Fortunately, Shui Linglong's poisoning was not deep, and her internal strength was also strong, and in less than half an hour, all the toxins were eliminated.

"Whew." Gu Shengchao let out a long breath, his body was also sweaty, he exhaled and practiced qi to relieve the fatigue caused by detoxification.

Yang Qianhui sorted out Shui Linglong's shirt neatly, Shui Linglong sat cross-legged and her true qi ran in the meridians for a week, making sure that her internal strength had recovered, she didn't turn around and turned her back to Gu Shengchao and asked, "Who are you sacred?" ”

Gu Shengchao heard the suspicion in her words, and said softly: "It's just a hard-working student. ”

Shui Linglong didn't believe it, got out of bed and walked to the window and said, "Yang Qianhui and Fang Ju, I promise it's true, are you, only you are lying." She faced Yang Qianhui and said, "Are you sure you know this man?" ”

Yang Qianhui shook her head, glanced at Gu Shengchao and said, "We also met in Pingshui, and when we saw that he was good at kung fu, I asked him to be a bodyguard." ”

Shui Linglong hugged her arms around her chest, inadvertently revealing the two softness on her chest, she stared at Gu Shengchao, as if she was getting acquainted with someone again: "Say, what are your intentions in approaching our Yunqi Palace?" I tried my best to help. ”

Gu Shengchao spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me like this, as if I've done something bad." He turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, "Bai Pei'an's lady runs the Chamber of Commerce in Huaming City, and it just so happened that my old friend was deceived by the Chamber of Commerce, and it happened that I met Qianhui's sister who was almost bullied by the flower thief, so I got here by mistake." Well, my foundation is already thin, and I have practiced some kung fu by chance, and I just took this opportunity to make up for my previous shortcomings, and this explanation Elder Shui is satisfied. To tell the truth, tonight thanks to the lack of wine in the noodle restaurant, I went to the restaurant next door to borrow wine and heard some clues before I went to the pier outside the city, otherwise you and I would not have met. ”

Shui Linglong's pink face suddenly turned red for some reason, she coughed and turned her face and said: "In this case, you can also come to the outer courtyard to study in the future, you can raise any of your deficiencies, and I will do my best to assist you." ”

Fang Ju immediately objected: "Don't mind, the noodle restaurant has finally improved, Brother Gu can't do it alone without me, and the three of us will have to drink the northwest wind when the time comes." ”

Yang Qianhui was just about to speak, but Gu Shengchao waved his hand to extinguish the candle flame and said in a low voice: "Someone is coming, it should be the three foreign elders and Bai Pei'an." ”

Shui Linglong didn't hear the movement and was about to question, through the crack in the window, two figures flashed on the east wing opposite, and at the same time, there was also a sound from the tiles overhead, and two people jumped on the roof and tiptoed to move slowly, one light and the other heavy, Shui Linglong admired Gu Shengchao's vigilance from the bottom of her heart. Under the moonlight, the water can be seen clearly, one of the two people on the opposite side is Elder Zhu, and the other is Elder Gao, no need to ask, there is Elder Quan and Bai Pei'an above their heads.

Elder Gao observed the main house and the ear rooms on both sides, and whispered, "The main house seems to be uninhabited by people with locked doors, it can't be that the spies inquired about it." ”

Elder Zhu affirmed: "It won't be wrong, I have excellent ear power, I heard the woman's voice just now, it must be here." ”

Elder Gao looked around: "There is also a back cover room, go there and have a look." ”

The two were about to jump back on the roof, but Shui Linglong opened the door and said coldly: "No need to look for it, I'm here." ”
