Chapter 164: Deceit

Gu Shengchao was shocked when he heard them say that the king of Zhennan was going to rebel on the beam of the house.

Once the rebellion fails, it is a serious crime to exterminate the Nine Clans.

One person looked out, sure that he couldn't see anyone else, so he whispered: "This matter must not be publicized, you know and I know." ”

Another whispered, "But the news has spread, why can't I say it?" ”

"Whether it's true or false is unknown, in case it is passed by your mouth to the king of Zhennan, the prince is angry, and he is not taking your kid under the knife."

"Yes, yes, I was careless."

"Remember, we are just pawns in the charge, and in the end, it will be difficult to save our lives in the melee regardless of success or failure, I plan to take advantage of tonight's chaos and the opportunity to search for suspects to leave the city and leave here, we are a lifelong friendship to tell you the truth, and you have to take care after I leave."

"Don't, I'm with you, take me with you."

"Okay, no matter who you see for a while, don't talk nonsense, follow me when I see the opportunity."

The two discussed in a low voice and left the courtyard.

Gu Shengchao saw the two of them walking away, came to Yang Qianhui and Fang Ju's window, and listened to the two sleeping soundly, completely unaware of what was happening.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Shengchao silently remembered the layout of the palace house drawn by Fang Ju, avoided the patrol soldiers, and touched towards the front yard council hall.

The council hall is located in the middle of the front yard, and the lights are turned off in the side halls on both sides, only the main hall is brightly lit.

Afraid that there would be an ambush in the side halls on both sides, he first sensed them one by one and confirmed that there was no one inside, so he hunched over and came to the window of the main hall.

There are four breaths in it.

A man said anxiously: "Lord Wang, you can't wait any longer, it is rumored outside that you and King Baocheng are going to join forces to rebel, is it difficult to make the rumors true?" ”

"General Hong, what are you talking about, don't you want to force the palace?" One person questioned.

General Hong retorted: "General Cheng doesn't know anything, this rumor is known to women and children outside, and I suspect that someone did it on purpose." At present, the whereabouts of the county lord are unknown, and rumors cannot be allowed to spread. ”

"I only know how to lead the troops to fight, and the rest is still up to the prince to decide." General Cheng is sleek and clears up the relationship first.

"What does General Meng think?" The prince asked the other person.

General Meng coughed dryly and said: "This matter is not simple, the marriage between King Baocheng and the prince is known all over the world, and suddenly rumors are flying all over the sky, and now the three-way army of the imperial court is also coming to the city, all kinds of coincidences hide the danger, and the top priority at the moment is to let the court know the loyalty of the prince." ”

King Zhennan sighed and said: "I wrote one after another that Zazi sent someone to explain the situation to the prime minister, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea and there was no news, I suspect that there must be something strange in it." ”

"Could it be that there is a mole in the palace?" General Meng was skeptical.

General Cheng said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, let me know that he will definitely be broken into ten thousand pieces." ”

After a moment of silence, the king of Zhennan said: "It's getting late, you go back first, tomorrow each will lead the elite soldiers to defend the three roads sent by the imperial court, remember, just hold on to the danger, and never go out of the city to fight." ”

"Honorable Order." The three of them stood up to take orders.

Gu Shengchao raised his head, and it was dark under the tall eaves, just Tibetan. He jumped up lightly and hung upside down under the eaves.

The three generals left, pacing back and forth restlessly in the palace of the king of Zhennan, and after a while, a woman came over with snacks and tea.

"Madam, why are you here without sleeping?" King Zhennan was a little surprised.

Mrs. said softly: "You and I have been husband and wife for thirty years, I have never seen you so anxious, there must be something important to deal with, so I specially sent a supper cushion to make up, don't be tired." ”

"Madame, sit."

The king of Zhennan let him sit down, and his wife sat down next to him, and the two drank tea together.

"Don't worry, sir, the prime minister of the three dynasties is an upright person, you have sent him many letters, he should believe you." Madame comforted him.

King Zhennan shook his head: "It stands to reason that the prime minister should have replied a long time ago, but this time he didn't reply for a long time, which is unsettling!" ”

Mrs. poured tea: "The daughter of King Baocheng is a favorite concubine on the pilgrimage, and she is forced to marry us as a family, and she is bent on marrying Qianhui as her daughter-in-law. ”

King Zhennan held his wife's hand: "I am in a corner of peace, I thought that indulging in Fengyue would reassure the court, and these ladies know best." Even so, there are still people who don't let me go, he is in the dark and I am in the light, and the world is unpredictable. ”

"I know, for everyone, I have borne the infamy of looking for flowers and asking Liu Chao, but I have worked hard for you." Madame is considerate.

Gu Shengchao heard it under the eaves, and he sensed a breath rushing towards this side, but he couldn't hear any movement.

When the breath was closer, I found that a black shadow flashed on the side hall and landed under the window of the main hall.

The body is as light as a swallow, and as fast as a tanuki, if it weren't for the Gu Shengchao's keen perception, he might not be able to spot it when he was close to his eyes.

"Qianhui is missing, I thought it was King Baocheng who did it, but I thought about it again and again, it shouldn't be him." King Zhennan continued.

Madame worried: "King Baocheng's heart is not right, let's be more wary of them, I think it's better to forget the matter of joining forces to rebel, and let the court send troops to arrest them as soon as possible." ”

"It's hard!" King Zhennan sighed and said: "King Baocheng's daughter is the favorite concubine of the saint, we are light-hearted, and there is no way if the saint does not listen." ”

"Is there no other way?" Madame said uneasily.

"Yes." The man under the window outside the hall replied in a loud voice.

King Zhennan and his wife were startled in the house, and at the same time said in horror: "Who? ”

"It's me, King Baocheng's army Sima Tuoba Peak."

The man swaggered and shook the folding fan and pushed the door in.

"It's Tuoba Sima, if you miss the distance, please take a seat." After a brief panic, King Zhennan immediately calmed down.

Tuoba Feng was also not polite, and sat opposite the king of Zhennan.

"Tuoba Sima came to visit late at night, what are you doing?" King Zhennan asked straight to the point.

Tuoba Feng shook the folding fan lightly: "King Baocheng heard that the king of Zhennan was undecided, and specially ordered me to help the king of Zhennan. ”

"What's the help?" King Zhennan heard something in his words.

Tuoba Feng said with a smile: "King Zhennan is guilty of the snake, and King Baocheng has one behind the other, how can we rest assured." ”

After all, the king of Zhennan is a prince, how can he allow a little Sima to mock, and said coldly: "What do you mean? ”

Tuoba Feng said unhurriedly: "The messengers you sent were intercepted by us, and we also looked at all the letters one by one, and rewrote the letters in the handwriting of the king of Zhennan and sent them to the prime minister. ”

"What did you write?" The king of Zhennan stood up and looked at Tuoba Peak with a fierce attitude.

Tuoba Feng shook the folding fan a few times unhurriedly, and said quietly: "It's nothing, just tell the prime minister Zhennan Wang to rebel, and let the court prepare in advance, so as not to kill the capital sword and sword shadow and hurt the harmony, so that the court's three-way army is coming to the city." ”

"Presumptuous!"

King Zhennan was furious, and waved his teacup and threw it at Tuoba Peak.

Tuoba Feng was calm, and flipped it with a folding fan lightly, and steadily held the teacup on the fan surface. He sent it forward, and the teacup returned to the table, not a drop of tea leaked.

"The king of Zhennan is angry, how can I worry about trivial things, without your help, our Baocheng King would not be so smooth, but it's a pity that Miss Qianhui, I can't see anyone alive or dead. When King Baocheng becomes the emperor, the prince will become the crown prince, and he will never marry your Qianhui girl again. Tuoba Feng said easily.

Only then did the king of Zhennan understand, and pointed to Tuoba Peak and said: "You use me to confront the imperial court, lure the imperial court to besiege me with heavy troops, and then take advantage of the emptiness of the capital to drive straight in." You must know that the holy concubine is his own daughter, so won't he even let go of his own daughter? ”

"Those who achieve great things are not informal, in order to be the emperor, what is there to give up a daughter." Tuoba Peak showed no mercy.

King Zhennan sat back in his chair, and he suddenly came to his senses: "You have told me so much, do you have to force me to do something?" ”

Tuoba Feng laughed: "It's still King Zhennan who is smart, but it's a pity that he knew it too late." I came here to let the king of Zhennan give an order to fight a bloody battle with the imperial court, and to succeed on the side of King Baocheng. ”

"What if I don't agree?" King Zhennan gritted his teeth.

Tuoba Feng sneered: "Then I can't help you." ”

He waved his folding fan, and a row of sharp blades appeared on the head of the fan against his wife's neck.

"I know that your husband and wife are childhood sweethearts, so you agree, after the matter is completed, you will still be the king of Zhennan, if you don't succeed, you can only be a loner."

Tuoba Feng sent it gently, and the sharp blade pierced the delicate skin of the lady, and a wisp of blood flowed out.

"Stop, I promise you." King Zhennan leaned back in his chair decadently.

Tuoba Feng took the folding fan: "The one who knows the times is Junjie, and the king of Zhennan is a true hero." ”

Seeing that everything was under control, he let the king of Zhennan tear the strip of cloth to bandage his wife's wounds, and paced to the window: "You just need to obediently listen to King Baocheng's arrangement and keep your family safe." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tuoba Feng felt a strong wind blowing outside the window, and a sharp sword pierced through the window lattice towards the door in front of him.

Tuoba Feng boasted of his superior martial arts, but there was no warning just now, and he retreated.

The lattice shattered, and a man jumped in, standing on the ground with a sword in hand.

"Who is this?" Tuoba Feng didn't know Gu Shengchao, thinking that he was a subordinate of the Zhennan Wangfu, and looked at the Zhennan Wang.

Of course, the king of Zhennan didn't know either, and looked at Gu Shengchao suspiciously: "Who is this young man?" ”

Gu Shengchao arched his hand and said: "Don't panic King Zhennan, I am a friend of Miss Qianhui, she is currently safe and sound, please rest assured." ”

"That's good." When King Zhennan saw that the rescuers were coming, his hanging heart was slightly lowered.

"Die!"

Tuoba Feng shouted, and waved the folding fan in his hand towards Gu Shengchao. The blades above were all exposed, like a scimitar.

Gu Shengchao held the sword in his left hand and used the phoenix dance swordsmanship to meet the enemy, and the two were inseparable for a while.

After a long time, Tuoba Feng couldn't help but be anxious, and when he turned sideways, the folding fan waved continuously, and the sharp blades on the head of the fan suddenly shot out one after another, turning into darts to cover the ancient saint in it.

The two of them were close at hand, and if Gu Shengchao used his sword to pick them off one by one, it would be too late, and he saw that there were more than ten darts that could not be hidden.

Tuoba Peak couldn't help but get carried away.
