When Jing Xizi destroyed the altar, Shen Zhixi had already quickly avoided it.

Despite all this care, she fell hard, and the rocks fell in a mess, and many were smashed into a puddle of flesh before they could dodge.

Although she was seriously injured, she was lucky.

Wait a minute, what about Gu Yuan?

Shen Zhixi looked around, and her heart tightened.

He won't ......

She quickly reassured herself that he was far away and should be fine.

"The surname is Gu!" Shen Zhixi's voice trembled.

Gu Yuan leveled the remnants of Zhu Chunchen's defeated army at this time, and was almost half killed by a stone.

However, he couldn't care much about it now, and hurriedly ran to the altar, "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”

Shen Zhixi nodded, "I'm fine, how are you?" ”

Gu Yuan withdrew the saber into the scabbard and said in a low voice, "Poison arrow...... And the stones that just fell ......"

Shen Zhixi was shocked, "Where is the injury?" I'll take a look at ......"

The young man raised his eyebrows and smiled as if he was fine: "Don't worry, it's just that I was poisoned, I was not less injured on the battlefield back then, and in the end, didn't I come back with all my beards and tails?" ”

said so, but Gu Yuan frowned, it must have been poisoned.

Shen Zhixi hurriedly helped him sit down, and just as she was about to detoxify, Gu Yuan asked, "What about Chen Bangfu?" ”

Well?

yes, why did you forget about him, it stands to reason that he shouldn't be on the scene now to settle the situation?

Or is it ...... He is also the driving force behind this mess?

But at this moment, Shen Zhixi didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly detoxified Gu Yuan's poison first, and didn't forget to tease, "You yourself are injured like this, and you still have the heart to care about others?" ”

Gu Yuan smiled: "Neither of them is a good thing, don't I have to calculate whether we are in danger or not......"

Shen Zhixi added some strength to her hand, "Shut up." ”

Gu Yuan gasped, "I saved your life, can't you just do it?" ”

Shen Zhixi said while taking the medicine: "If you don't come, I can get out." ”

Gu Yuan: "......"

Yes, she doesn't know the hearts of good people.

I knew that I would throw this Tianhuang nobleman into the pile of dead people.

After a while, Chen Bangfu, who had been watching the play behind him, rolled off the horse with a handful of snot and tears, and said with a sad face: "The subordinates deserve to die, let the adults and the princess and Her Royal Highness fall into such a situation, and the subordinates will not be redeemed for a hundred deaths!" ”

Gu Yuan, who had just recovered from his recovery, almost told him to send him away in place, "It's not Chen Bangfu, can you wait until I'm dead before shouting?" ”

Chen Bangfu knelt down smoothly, "There is a god three feet above your head, my lord is cautious!" ”

Gu Yuan couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw him bowing three times and knocking nine times, "Okay, hurry up and get out of here." Also, I wrote an official letter to the imperial court for me, saying that the capital of Yunnan and Tibet took the lead in suppressing bandits, and took the lead, but was outnumbered and died in battle. ”

Chen Bangfu was just about to nod yes, but Gu Yuan added, "Go back and tell the gang of people who eat dry food in the Criminal Division, prepare the file of the person who died within three years, and send it to the Metropolitan Protection Mansion tonight." ”

Shen Zhixi smiled dumbly, "Master Gu's methods are really good. ”

"There are people in the DPRK who are more ruthless than me." Gu Yuan took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his hands casually, "Your Highness, this bet is a bit big." ”

Chen Bangfu, who was listening to the corner of the wall, didn't understand, "My lord, what are you talking about?" ”

Gu Yuan threw the handkerchief in his face, "I said you, Chen Bangfu, did you come so late to collect my body?" ”

Chen Bangfu hurriedly caught up, "My lord, my subordinates have been wronged!" ”

At night, Song Shenzhou came to Gu Yuan with a stack of case files: "My lord, the son of a daughter can't sit in the hall, and you don't say hello to our criminal department, why did you take the eldest princess to the altar?" ”

Gu Yuan glanced at him coldly: "Don't give me a flamboyant tongue, go out." ”

Song Shenzhou obediently shut up, and was just about to leave when he bumped into Shen Zhixi, who came in with a decoction.

The girl skillfully put the decoction on the table: "Drink it yourself." ”

I saw that Master Gu immediately drank all the medicine in the bowl, and almost poured the medicine residue into his mouth.

Song Shenzhou: "......"

Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people.

After the idle people left, Gu Yuan blinked, and said innocently: "Bitter." ”

"Good medicine is good for disease." Shen Zhixi put a piece of pear paste candy in his palm, "But I didn't say you can't eat sugar." ”

Gu Yuan let out a "hmm", turned his head and sorted out the case file, "The number of people who died in three years is hundreds, if what Jing Xizi said is true, then at least half of the hundred and ten lives are innocent in her hands." ”

"Forty-six people in the case file died from the Gu poison refined by Jing Xizi." Shen Zhixi said softly.

"With you and me, the number of people she wants to kill is forty-eight." Gu Yuan's slender jade fingers tapped lightly on the table, "Who is the forty-ninth one?" ”

Shen Zhixi recalled the situation at that time, and it seemed that all the evidence pointed to one person.

Jing Xizi herself.

"Could it be that she wooed Zhu Chunchen just to collect her body?" Shen Zhixi said in disbelief.

"To each his own according to his needs." Gu Yuan said softly, "The situation in southern Xinjiang is chaotic, and the matter of Jing Xizi is just the tip of the iceberg, and what is really terrifying is the person who is hiding behind the scenes. ”

Shen Zhixi couldn't help but shudder.

Gu Yuan's tone was leisurely, and then he scared her, "The legends of gods and ghosts in Miao Village have never been less, and it was ......said a long, long time ago."

Shen Zhixi glared at him: "Shut up." ”

Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "What?" Is Your Highness afraid of ghosts? ”

Without warning, a sneer came from behind the screen, "I think Lord Gu still doesn't know our Miao Jiang." ”

Gu Yuan replied coldly: "Cheng Jue, the matter on the rivers and lakes has ended here, do you still remember the sentence that the people of Lenga Mountain gave you back then?" ”

Cheng Jue was stunned.

He clearly remembered that when the people of Lenga Mountain lightly threw him a sentence "Cheng Jue is cruel and easy to kill, he is not born at the right time, and he must not die well", there was a little beggar next to him.

The down-and-out beggar pointed at him and stroked his palm and laughed, "The weeds that don't have a mother will die today and be buried tomorrow!" ”

Thinking of this, Cheng Jue behind the screen smiled sadly: "If I don't want to die well, I will have to splash your blood." ”

Cheng Jue left, and the room was silent again.

"His Highness has only been aware of his existence?" Gu Yuan asked.

Shen Zhixi nodded and said, "Otherwise, why did I ask you to stop talking?" ”

Gu Yuan smiled, "The eldest princess is afraid that she won't be able to sleep at night after listening to ghost stories, right?" ”

Shen Zhixi glared at him, "The surname is Gu, this palace is not scared!" ”

Gu Yuan said casually: "I know, you are not frightened by ghosts, you are frightened by people." ”

"Shut up!"

Half a month later.

The wind is changing, and the snow is changing.

On the Ancient Tea Horse Road, a horse-drawn carriage marches slowly in the wind and snow.

The carriage was small, and the bodies of the two were almost close together.

The young man's body was surrounded by a faint fragrance of moonlin, which made her a little stunned.

"No merit is not rewarded." Gu Yuan sat in the carriage, with a hand stove next to his slender and bony hand, "I, I am a pasteur in this tattered country, over the years of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, there are still many people in the court who are trying their best to push me down the abyss, and I will never be able to turn over." ”

"Perhaps, we can make a deal." Shen Zhixi said very seriously.

"In the name of the Shen family's royal family?" Gu Yuan asked with a smile, "The emperor has been on the throne for two years, and the foundation is unstable, doesn't the eldest princess want to tie the lifeblood of the entire Dazhao to me?" ”

Shen Zhixi said: "I can let you get out of the way, provided that you do one thing for me." ”

The young man smiled lightly, "Your Highness is betting on whether I will help this time." ”

Shen Zhixi saw that he saw through his intentions, so he no longer concealed it, "When I faced Jing Xizi alone, I also bet that you would help, and that time, I won the bet." ”

"Why is Your Highness so sure that I will save you?" Gu Yuan's eyes were a little more curious.

"Jing Xizi and Zhu Chunchen conspired to kill you, and you have to send it."

"What does Your Highness want?"

Shen Zhixi's eyes were dark, and there was a little perseverance in her eyes, "I want a person's life, if it happens, this palace will share the world with you equally." ”

Gu Yuan stared at the Xuande furnace that slowly floated out of the green smoke on the desk, "Your Highness, please speak." ”

"Aren't you curious why Zhu Chunchen wanted to kill you?" Shen Zhixi's slender hand moved slightly, and the curtains on both sides of the carriage fell, "He has already sat in this seat, does he still want to compete with you?" ”

Gu Yuan shook his head, "If you let others sit in that seat, I'm afraid you will also have the heart to fight for power and profit." ”

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and people's hearts are like this." Shen Zhixi said softly, "So, Master Gu, do you believe in this palace?" ”

"The minister believes in His Highness."

At this moment, the curtain was provoked by a daredevil.

Shen Zhixi just wanted to see who was outside, but the next moment she was frightened and pale: "Ghost! There really are ghosts! ”

Gu Yuan, who had always been calm and calm, also changed his face suddenly, and subconsciously protected the eldest princess behind him.

The one who climbed on the curtain was clearly a completely white and ossified corpse!

Gu Yuan reacted quickly, and slashed at the corpse with a sword, but he didn't want that guy to take the white blade with his bare hands and resist the attack of the Frost Sword!

Shen Zhixi, who was protected by Gu Yuan, also came to her senses at this moment, "This is a common method of chasing corpses in Miao Jiang, and someone is manipulating this corpse bone." ”

"How to crack?"

Shen Zhixi's voice was trembling, but her mind was as clear as ever, "Decapitate the head first, and then cut off the qi." ”

At this time, the carriage had lost control and was getting farther and farther away on Huangquan Road, and Gu Yuan couldn't care about it, so he cut off the head of the corpse according to Shen Zhixi's method, and then quickly cut off the strange qi around him.

The corpses lost their support and immediately dispersed.

At the same time, the carriage got rid of the control of foreign objects and quickly stabilized.

Shen Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriage was back on track, and so was the conversation between the two.

"Who do you think could have done that?" Shen Zhixi asked.

Falling into the hole, Gu poison, driving out corpses and calling Miao Jiang Sanqi, now she has seen two.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but gasp.

Gu Yuan hooked his lips and smiled, "Didn't you do it by a ghost?" Why, could it be that His Highness is afraid of ghosts? ”

Shen Zhixi: "......"

Change the subject.

"To be honest, I also have the intention of getting rid of Zhu Chunchen." Shen Zhixi confessed.

Gu Yuan was slightly stunned, "How can Your Highness say this?" ”

"If he wants to kill me, I will kill him, this is my principle." Shen Zhixi smiled, "However, haven't you ever doubted Zhu Chunchen's motives?" ”

"As an official of the imperial court, he can't do anything, and he dares to privately harm this palace and a feudal official like you without a holy decree, how can he completely cut off his future without knowing that he does this?"

"Your Highness means that there is someone behind him, and this person is not small?" Gu Yuan inferred.

Shen Zhixi nodded with satisfaction, "Who do you think, who will it be?" ”

"If you really want to track it down, the cabinet is afraid that it will be able to turn it upside down." Gu Yuan sighed, "Most of the things this time were done by the old man Xie Zhen of the Ministry of Officials. ”

Shen Zhixi smiled lightly, "You're quite good." ”

In his previous life, Tang Xiujin was pulled up by Xie Zhen, and Gu Yuan guessed well.

She asked again, "How do you know that Elder Xie Ge may be involved in this matter?" ”

"There are only a few people in the cabinet, Mr. Yang is my teacher, and Lord Shoufu Xu Jue is now tied to me on a rope, even if he is removed, there is no one around." Gu Yuan said calmly.

Shen Zhixi said tentatively: "In this way, the several assassinations encountered by this palace along the way are also the actions of Xie Ge Lao?" ”

Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Your Highness hasn't said who the person you hate to the bone is. ”

Shen Zhixi chuckled, "The contemporary head of the Tang family in Jinchang, Tang Xiujin." ”
