Chapter 273: The Soldier is Treacherous
The night lingered, and the sun was on the rise, and Gu Shengchao and Wan Yanxi were still hugging each other and didn't want to get up.
Fang Ju walked outside the tent curtain and coughed: "There is a military discussion, my young lady invites the two of you over."
She didn't care if she heard it inside, she just walked away without stopping for a moment.
"Get up, it's still the military that matters." Gu Shengchao got up and got dressed with a smile, and helped Yan Xi get dressed by the way.
The two of them walked out of the tent back and forth, and the sun hung high so that people could not open their eyes.
Wan Yanxi could only feel the strength of the light, and she stood in the wind for a moment to feel it: "Today is a good weather, there should be no wind and rain in the next few days."
"What if it rains?" Gu Shengchao asked casually.
Wan Yanxi said with a smile: "I heard Tanma tell you in detail about the terrain near the camp, the loose soil is not an ideal location, and it is easy to be dangerous if it rains, so I can only abandon this place and set up camp in a high *** rocky place."
Gu Shengchao took her hand and said approvingly, "I see, you are our good military advisor."
The two entered the tent hand in hand, Yang Qianhui and the others were already waiting, and when they saw them sitting down, they said, "According to the report of the detective, there is bad news and good news."
"Let's talk about the bad news first!" Fang Ju proposed.
Yang Qianhui nodded: "The bad news is that the imperial court knows about our existence and is mobilizing people to prepare to encircle and suppress us."
"The good news?" Ma Guanshan asked anxiously.
Yang Qianhui didn't rush to answer, but looked at Wan Yan Xi and said, "Sister Wan Yan, guess what it is?"
"Could it be that there is a disagreement within the imperial court, and we have a chance to take advantage of it?" Wan Yanxi tilted his head and said.
Yang Qianhui said happily: "Almost, the squire of the military department is willing to help us, and the people of Baixianzhuang are also being assembled, and then join us inside and outside, take the palace in one fell swoop, and welcome His Royal Highness Yang Jimin to the throne."
"Great, we can sneak out before the imperial army encircles and suppresses him, and then take advantage of the emptiness of the capital to kill him by surprise, how about it, I also know the art of war and strategy." Fang Ju proudly waited for everyone's praise.
Everyone's eyes looked at Wan Yanxi, waiting for her attitude, as long as she nodded, everyone would definitely applaud without hesitation and cheer for Fang Ju.
But after seeing that Yan Xi was silent, everyone immediately knew that there must be something wrong with Fang Ju's idea.
Sure enough, Wan Yanxi asked Yang Qianhui, "Is Sister Yang's source accurate?"
Yang Qianhui nodded affirmatively: "It's true, they are all Tanma who have followed us for many years, and their loyalty is absolutely credible."
"Miss Wanyan thinks there's something suspicious somewhere." Fang Ju also wanted to know what she really thought.
Wan Yanxi said softly: "The soldier is the best friend of the king of Zhennan, and Baixianzhuang has reached a desperate situation, and it is impossible for both of them to deceive us. But the court sent troops to encircle and suppress us, isn't this tantamount to shouting publicly, there is no one in my family, you all come and steal things as much as you like. Is it not doubtful, you say?"
Hearing her say this, everyone fell into deep thought.
Fang Ju suddenly realized, "Could it be that this is a rumor deliberately released by the imperial court, wanting to wipe us out?"
Wan Yanxi nodded: "We have to take precautions, first make two preparations, one is that the imperial army really came to encircle and suppress, how to deal with it, and the second is that if it is really as we judge, whether we are fake or not, come to him and make a plan."
Yang Qianhui immediately ordered the generals to strengthen their vigilance, and let all the probes be dispatched to listen to all the news related to him.
Gu Shengchao asked, "Right now, Yunqi Palace's attitude is not clear, do you need me to go to Yunshang City to contact Elder Shui Linglong and take a look at the situation over there."
"I think so." Yang Qianhui looked at Wan Yanxi.
Wan Yanxi smiled, "I don't have an opinion, it's just that Brother Gu's girl named Lu Jin is beside Sister Shui."
"What, she's here too?" The ancient saint was shocked.
Fang Ju's mouth was fast, and he briefly told Lu Jin how he met Shui Linglong and helped King Zhennan eliminate the imperial army.
Gu Shengchao was overjoyed
"I have heard the news of the fiasco of the imperial court, it turns out that it is your credit, admiration, admiration."
Ma Guanshan got up and looked at Fang Ju: "I'm more familiar with the capital, why don't I follow my master there?"
Fang Ju smiled: "Look at what, as long as Big Brother Gu doesn't dislike you, I have no opinion."
"Alright, without further ado, let's go now." The whole thing is complicated, and Gu Shengchao also wants to figure out the key to it.
The two of them simply packed up and rode their horses to Cloud City.
The distance was not far, and before the curfew that day, I went into the city to find an inn near the Yunqi Palace to stay, and soon the drums sounded, and no one was allowed to pass on the street.
After the two of them finished eating at the inn, night covered the entire Cloud City.
Gu Shengchao led Maguan Mountain, under the cover of night, evaded the patrolling sentinels, and quietly climbed into the Yunqi Palace.
During his time in Cloud City, he had briefly entered the Yunqi Palace to study, and he knew where the elders of the outer kingdoms lived, and there was no obstacle to being familiar with the road.
The only trouble is that it is not clear which courtyard it is, and you need to carefully discern it.
Fortunately, his perception is amazing, as long as the door or window of the house is open, he can sense the breath of everyone inside, so as to finally confirm it.
Walking through several courtyards in a row, the atmosphere inside did not match.
While he was searching, he suddenly sensed a breath coming from behind him, through all these years of experience, it was definitely not a cat or dog, it should be a person.
He pulled Ma Guanshan and hurriedly squatted in the grass, hiding in the period.
Sure enough, a man sneaked up, threw something into a small courtyard, and ran away.
There was a movement in the yard, and someone went out to probably see the thing: "Oh, Sister Shui, someone threw something into our yard."
You don't need to perceive and detect, listening to the sound is Lu Jin.
Gu Shengchao immediately changed his mind and said in a low voice, "You go back to the inn first and wait for me, this person is suspicious just now, I'll chase after him to see where he came from?"
That person was running fast just now, Gu Shengchao was afraid of disappearing into his perception range, so without waiting for Ma Guanshan to recover, he rushed out and followed.
The man knew his way well, climbed over the wall and ran wildly up the hill behind him. The hillside is overgrown with towering ancient trees, and there are no people in sight at night.
If it weren't for the Gu Shengchao's perception tightly locked, he might have been lost in the dense woods a long time ago.
Passing through the dense forest, a land temple appeared, and there was a faint light in it, and the man ran in without looking back.
Gu Shengchao used his stealth technique, approached unhurriedly, and saw that there was no one to defend outside, so he quietly slipped in.
The light in the land temple is dim, and the land father-in-law enshrined in it has long since collapsed, leaving only the remaining pedestal and a pile of soil fragments on it, which should be the collapsed land father-in-law.
Under the pedestal, two people sat opposite each other, one was the person who had just run in, and the other was Gu Shengchao, who knew it, it was Huang Bufu, the head of the Night Ghost Sect.
