Volume 2: Guan Shanyue Chapter 44 Conspiracy
Shen Zhixi was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses, at this moment she was in a state of turmoil, and she couldn't take care of much, so she stepped forward and grabbed Gu Yuan: "You don't want to die?" β
Gu Yuan smiled weakly: "The eighth Li Buyan of the martial arts commentary, he is good at making the flying sword take the head of the person, and he can't kill me alone." Besides, if His Highness is poisoned by him, where can I find someone to detoxify you? β
Shen Zhixi glared at him: "Shut up, why don't you leave if I let you go?" β
Gu Yuan laughed softly: "I am familiar with this place, and I caught ghosts here with Lu Ran when I was a child...... Your Highness, don't worry, I can still get you out now, but I need ...... I need you to help me hold him down......"
Li stood without saying a word, and sneered coldly.
"Gu Linxi, do you know that someone paid 10,000 taels of gold to buy your life?"
"You can't kill me alone." Gu Yuan said lightly.
"But this noble man around you is more valuable, 30,000 taels of gold." Li Buyan smiled fiercely, "I may not be able to kill you, but it will be easy for me to kill Her Royal Highness the eldest princess next to you." β
Shen Zhixi indifferently treated Gu Yuan's wounds, and didn't take Li Buyan's words seriously at all.
After briefly treating his wounds, Shen Zhixi also stood up, facing the hazy moonlight, she was dressed in a scarlet dress like a bright red in late autumn.
"If you want to kill me, this palace should accompany you, but it's not clear who will die here." Shen Zhixi seemed to hide a little smile in her eyes, "I know who the person behind you wants me to die here is, this is my family matter, and it has nothing to do with him." β
Shen Zhixi glanced at Gu Yuan with the rest of her eyes as she spoke, and saw that he was healing himself with her true qi, so she put her mind at ease and continued to delay time.
"If he and I can only live one tonight, then I'd rather die." Her face did not change and continued to talk nonsense, "It's just that before I die, this palace still wants to ask you one thing, and one person." β
Li Buyan laughed: "I never kill women, and if I break this case today, I have to let you die to understand." β
"Tao Chengqi, the palace master of Liyang Palace, who are you?"
"She's my sister." Li Buyan said impatiently, "What you want to ask, tell me quickly." β
"Who sent you?"
"You're all dying, so I'll tell you." Li Buyan sneered, "The current head of the Qinghe Cui family, Your Highness, guess who it is?" β
Shen Zhixi was stunned, it turned out to be Cui Xianchun!
This mad madman really dared to make a desperate attempt to assassinate her!
After all, since she was reborn, the entire decaying temple has been stabbed through, and people who want to kill her have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
But so blatant, Cui Xianchun is really the first person.
In the city of Yandu, at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
He dared to hire an assassin to assassinate the sister of the Son of Heaven, the most powerful eldest princess in the court today.
Now, if you don't bring him down as soon as possible, I'm afraid the entire Dazhao will have to be surnamed Cui!
But then again, he made such a big noise, and Jin Yiwei estimated that he was already on his way.
Therefore, she and Gu Yuan only need to drag Jinyiwei to bring people over, which is enough.
Shen Zhixi was still pondering here, and Gu Yuan beside her slowly stood up, his eyes firm, and said, "Please unsheath the sword!" β
Li Buyan was stunned, "This, how is this possible?" β
"Don't forget, I also mean the Xuan Realm." Gu Yuan smiled indifferently, "Tonight, no one will die." β
Li Buyan swept his hand backwards towards Gu Yuan: "Then try it!" β
When he swept in front of Gu Yuan, he was shocked by the strong qi that suddenly burst out in Gu Yuan's body.
Shen Zhixi, who had been protected by Gu Yuan all the time, also showed a little confusion in her eyes at this moment.
She was puzzled, could it be that King Huainan was wrong?
In addition to her, there is a person in this world who has a thousand years of luck?
"Gu Yuan, you dare to absorb the qi of the dead and go against the way of heaven, aren't you afraid of heaven and earth?" Li Buyan's pupils suddenly constricted.
Gu Yuan laughed loudly: "Gu Yuan's sword today, what he slashed is the way of heaven!" β
"Are you crazy?"
"You're crazy!" Gu Yuan's eyes were cold, as if he wanted to break the corpse of the person in front of him into thousands of pieces, "Why can only people with good luck make great achievements?" Why is everyone's life destined by heaven? Why are those who change their lives against the sky doomed to be destroyed by heaven and earth? β
Li Buyan knew that even if he fought again, Gu Yuan would not be able to win if he took advantage of the luck of the dead to fight him.
No matter how much money you have, you have to have a life to spend it.
Thinking of this, Li Buyan slowly retracted his sword and took three steps back.
"The coming day is long, goodbye on the rivers and lakes, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"
After that, Li Buyan flew away and soon disappeared.
"He's wounded." Gu Yuan also put away his sword, "If he doesn't stop, the two of us will be defeated tonight, and it is unknown whether we will have our lives and escape." β
Lu Ran quickly arrived with Jinyiwei: "Linxi, are you okay?" β
Saying that, he looked around, wasn't this place the "ghost mansion" that Gu Yuan and he had come to before?
Why are you here?
"I'm fine, just slightly injured." Gu Yuan gestured to the swordsman over there with his eyes, "One of the assassins has a broken arm, and he has been captured, and the others have fled." β
"Do you want me to send two men to send you home?" Lu Ran said a little worriedly.
Gu Yuan shook his head, "In a while, you send the Jinyi Guard to escort His Highness back to the palace, and I can do it myself." β
Suddenly, Shen Zhixi hurriedly ran over: "Ah Yuan, Shi Dui, there is a situation over there." β
The two glanced at each other, and they both followed Shen Zhixi to the edge of the courtyard wall.
Shen Zhixi picked up a wooden plaque with the word "Chu" written on it.
Gu Yuan and Lu Ran looked at each other, what is this?
"This is the token to enter and exit the Chu Palace." Shen Zhixi saw that both of them were very unfamiliar with this object, so she explained.
"Shen Jun?" Lu Ran was a little confused, "Why did he make a move?" β
Shen Zhixi knew what he was going to say: "The face and the heart are not in harmony, on the surface, they are all acting on the spot, and in the dark the Shen family has already become a dead wood that is strong on the outside and dry in the middle." β
Gu Yuan put forward a different view: "Is there a possibility that we have fallen in the way of others?" Li Buyan also said that Cui Xianchun was involved in this matter. β
Shen Zhixi nodded and said, "It's all possible, even Cui Xianchun and King Chu also have some in-law relationship." β
Lu Ran was stunned, "Huh? When was this? β
"The second son of the king of Chu, the princess of King Shen Qiao of Jingling, is Cui Xianchun's niece." Shen Zhixi frowned and explained, "I'm afraid that this token was deliberately placed here by Cui Xianchun to mislead us in the direction of our inference." β
A few people discussed, first bring this swordsman with a broken arm back to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and wait until tomorrow when the trial comes out, everything will be easy to say.
After the group escorted the swordsman away, a figure turned out of the shadows.
This person is wearing a Taoist robe, and he is the master of Xuanji Pavilion, Su Jiumo.
"Your Highness, we meet again."
Before the words fell, a decayed beam collapsed, almost hitting Shen Yuan, who pretended to be profound.
He had long lost his talent, and complained in a low voice: "What the hell did that kid Huan Xuan choose for me, saying that he was watching the battle, and he almost didn't put himself in...... Li Buyan is a martial idiot, he knows how to fight and kill, ......"
Early the next morning, Lu Ran came to him with the case file.
"I finally got two days off, and there was so much mess up again." Although Gu Yuan said this, he was not ambiguous at hand, and after a while, he hastily wrote down the results he analyzed from the case file on a piece of paper.
This person is a person from the rivers and lakes, and he was instructed by Cui Xianchun to assassinate Shen Zhixi.
Judging from Choi Hyun-chun's previous jumping up and down behavior, it is not surprising that this mad madman can do anything.
"You still want to rest, the DPRK and China have long been out of order." Lu Ran teased.
Gu Yuan frowned slightly, "What?" β
"Elder Xu Ge has already handed in his resignation, saying that he is old, and he asks to resign from the post of first assistant to the cabinet and return to his hometown." Lu Ran sighed, "Tell me, what's going on......"
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." Gu Yuan said lightly, "The matter of the book on the bus is related to Xu Ge Lao, and now that His Royal Highness has been assassinated, he is so anxious to clear up the relationship, which will only make people more suspicious." β
"Elder Xu Ge has no motive to do this." Lu Ran shook his head, "He has always been friends and enemies with us. β
"What he wants to clear up is the matter of the book on the bus, as long as we confirm Cui Xianchun's crime now, Xu Gelao's goal will be achieved." Gu Yuan raised his eyes to look at him, "It's just a pity that Elder Xu Ge doesn't trust us." β
"So who do you think it will be? Could it be Xie Ge Lao? β
Gu Yuan nodded and said: "At the moment, Xu Jue and Xie Zhen, or me and Tang Xiujin, whoever can calm down will be the winner of this game of chess." β
Xu Jue played Shu Zhishi, the eldest princess was assassinated, the party struggle has been put on the surface, and the irreconcilable contradictions are impossible to hide.
At this time, all the inconsistencies hidden behind the scenes are just conspiracy in the end.
Xie Zhen is old-fashioned, which does not mean that others are the same as him.
Cui Xianchun used to be the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and half of those officials were his people, and he was now suspected of plotting to assassinate Shen Zhixi, so he naturally wanted to clear himself.
In this game of life and death, whoever has the mind to be alone will be out of the game sooner.
Cui Xianchun is already half a dead man, and he only needs to add more firewood to burn this self-proclaimed smart guy clean.
But this fire must solve the problem once and for all, putting Cui Xianchun to death, otherwise, the wildfire will not be exhausted, and the spring breeze will blow and regenerate.
Gu Yuan found a way, and over the years, he bought a lot of Cui Xianchun's protΓ©gΓ©s and old friends, and used this method to find many of his crimes, but he also needed a criminal evidence that could directly send him to see the king of Hades.
As he was thinking about it, Lu Ran asked, "Could it be related to Tang Xiujin?" β
"Ten gongs, nine of them." Gu Yuan commented unceremoniously, "The assassination in Southern Xinjiang, the Shangyuan Sky Lantern, the Dingling Underground Palace, and the explosion of the Qinglou, don't all the incidents have anything to do with him?" β
Lu Ran thought about it, "What about Cui Xianchun?" β
"He, like Shen Ying, is just a river crosser in Xie Zhen's hands." Gu Yuan fiddled with the river crosser on the chessboard, and said slowly, "But don't forget, the river crosser is like a car." β
"What do you mean?" Lu Ran was confused.
"He has more means than Shen Ying, but the city government is not as good as Xie Zhen, and even inferior to Tang Xiujin." Gu Yuan raised his hand to push the river crosser to the enemy camp, and then turned to Lu Ran, "Do me a favor." β
"For the sake of you explaining so much to me, I am reluctant to help you with this." Lu Ran pretended to be reluctant and said, "What's the matter?" β
"Help me keep an eye on someone, check someone." Gu Yuan took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Ran.
The names of two people were written on the paper.
Su Jiumo, Tao Chengqian.
