A private room on the second floor of Weiyuxuan.

Shen Zhixi didn't know the news of Chu Wang's death, she came to the private room agreed in the letter, and after a while, she heard a knock on the door outside.

She sorted out her thoughts and said, "Come in." ”

A young Taoist holding a dust whisk fairy wind dao bone walked in slowly, followed by a woman who looked like a sword attendant, and her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Li Buyan.

"I think His Highness shouldn't have dealt with the Pavilion Master." Tao Chengqi smiled and introduced, "The little woman's name is Tao Chengqi, and this is the master of Xuanji Pavilion, Su Jiumo. ”

Su Jiumo bowed, "Poor Dao has seen His Highness." ”

Shen Zhixi nodded and said, "This palace has already guessed your identity, I don't know why you have made an appointment here with this palace?" ”

"Naturally, it's a ...... Old things. Su Jiumo smiled and sat down with Tao Chengqi.

Shen Zhixi poured a glass of wine for herself, and listened to Tao Chengqi tell those old things that had been sealed for a long time.

Three years ago.

In the twenty-seventh year of Zhenyuan, Taizhou Wei was panicked.

Whether it is Taizhou City on land or Dingyuan ship on the sea.

The Dongying fleet had already surrounded the Dingyuan ship in the sea, and after ensuring that even the wooden kite that carried the message could not fly out, it sent an envoy to try to persuade him to surrender.

Ironically, this messenger who persuaded him to surrender was born in the hairpin family of the fourth and third dukes, the Qinghe Cui family.

He is Cui Xianchun's own nephew, a noble in the court, and has been supported by the imperial court for generations.

Now he wants to take refuge in the Japanese and open the door of the Jokhang country.

The pipe belt of the Dingyuan ship is the first female general since the founding of the Zhao Dynasty, Gu Changan's wife Lin Yushu.

Lin Yushu saw that the foreigners dared to send this dog thief to persuade him to surrender, and immediately drew a knife to cut him, but was stopped by his subordinates, saying that the two countries would fight against each other.

She wanted to break out, but she was heavily bombarded by enemy artillery fire and couldn't break through at all.

Lin Yushu sent the last urgent report with a wooden kite, and ordered his men to drive the Dingyuan ship into the enemy warship Oda Nobunaga.

Fight like Kilkenny cats.

Fang Yixiu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, who was sticking to Taizhou City, received this letter two days later.

It was precisely because of the delay of the fighter plane in the past two days that the Zhao army lost the last chance to counterattack.

Fang Yixiao looked up to the sky and sighed.

If this plan fails, God will not allow him to live.

There is only one death to repay the common people.

Three days later, Cui Xianchun, a soldier in Nanjing, received the news that Taizhou had fallen and that Fang Yixie, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, had been martyred.

The whole country was shocked.

Emperor Zhenyuan, who was terminally ill at that time, was also shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly dispatched troops, and Yang Yi was ordered to command the war in danger, so he barely won the battle.

"Does Your Highness remember this?" Tao Chengqi asked tentatively.

Shen Zhixi frowned, "How could you not remember?" And then there is. ”

Tao Chengqi looked a little excited: "If it weren't for Cui Xianchun's wrong command, we wouldn't have lost to the Japanese Kou, the Dingyuan ship wouldn't have been buried deep under the sea, and the 30,000 Zhedong troops wouldn't have been buried on the battlefield, he was the culprit!" ”

Su Jiumo waved his hand, signaling her to calm down, and then turned to Shen Zhixi and arched his hand: "Your Highness, since we have a common opponent, why not join forces?" ”

Shen Zhixi drank all the Ming Qian tea in the teacup, stared at Su Jiumo with her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Xuanji Pavilion has turned the capital upside down before, and it is not enough to make this palace believe in you." ”

"What does Your Highness want?" Su Jiumo waved the dust in his hand, and his smile did not decrease.

Shen Zhixi said bluntly: "The first pavilion in the world, it seems too insincere to take out the things that this person knows to deceive the palace, what do you say, pavilion master?" ”

Su Jiumo was surprised, it turned out that the chips had not been added enough, "Your Highness is really cautious." ”

"When dealing with you people in the rivers and lakes, be cautious, I'm afraid that I will fall into your way." Shen Zhixi replied.

"Since this is the case, Poor Dao will send His Highness another unknown matter." Su Jiumo handed the letter that had already been written to Shen Zhixi.

This time, it was an easily recognizable hairpin, and Shen Zhixi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that weird ghost drawing after all.

She glanced at the contents of the letter and understood.

In the Battle of Taizhou in the 27th year of Zhenyuan, Cui Xianchun secretly negotiated peace with the Japanese leader without telling the imperial court, and even instructed his nephew to betray the country to seek glory.

However, Fang Yixiao, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, learned of this incident and angrily reprimanded Cui Xianchun, and led the headquarters of the Eastern Zhejiang Army to take the initiative to attack, but he did not expect that the Dingyuan ship actually sank the Oda Nobunaga, and he did not expect that the Japanese invaders would take advantage of the lack of naval air defense to land on the coast of Taizhou.

Fang Yixiao was ambushed by the Japanese invaders, and Cui Xianchun concealed the news and did not send troops to rescue the Eastern Zhejiang Army, resulting in the annihilation of the Eastern Zhejiang Army.

What kind of temperament Shen Heng has Shen Zhixi, who is a sister, knows best, what he fears is nothing more than betrayal of relatives.

Now that Cui Xianchun is actually in tune, Shen Heng's reaction can be imagined.

This crime alone is enough to bring down Cui Xianchun.

Then the three of them negotiated related matters, and after some staggering, Shen Zhixi took his leave.

Before leaving, she smiled, as if she had insight into what Su Jiumo was thinking, "It's raining in Yandu City, so there's no need to send it, uncle." ”

Su Jiumo stared at the cold and lonely back of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and muttered to herself, quietly: "Sister, you shouldn't want Qi'er to see that I am not a human or a ghost now, right?" Then I'll protect her in the shadows and be her shadow, how about it? ”

Tao Cheng looked at him in a daze, not knowing how to comfort him.

He seems to ...... Nor does it need to be comforted.

Su Jiumo smiled self-deprecatingly and said in a low voice, "Sister, she is very similar to you." ”

Outside the window, the rain hits the begonias, green, fat, red and thin, and it is sluggish.

At the time of the lamp, Gu Yuan made an appointment with Fang Congzhe in Yishiju.

"Your Highness was angry last time, don't take those words too seriously." Gu Yuan poured a glass of wine for him and himself.

Fang Congzhe shook his head, "Your Highness is right, I want to seek justice for my father for my own selfish interests, but those who fail to make the list are innocent after all." This is my grudge with Cui Xianchun, implicating so many innocent people, and it is not good for me and them. ”

Gu Yuan drank all the sake in the cup and said slowly: "Brother Zhonghan, do you remember the deal you and I made?" ”

"I'll be your informant, and you can help me get rid of Cui Xianchun." Fang Congzhe was puzzled, "What are you asking for?" ”

"There is a deal now that can put Cui Xianchun to death, can you do it?" Gu Yuan deliberately sold it.

Fang Congzhe nodded and said, "I have a feud with him, and I will agree to this business, but what do you want to rely on to bring him down?" ”

Gu Yuan smiled and said the fatal charge: "Tong Wei." ”

Fang Congzhe frowned slightly, "Is there any evidence?" ”

"You just have to go up and down to refer to him, as long as the emperor orders to raid the house, the evidence of his guilt will naturally be revealed." Gu Yuan smiled.

Fang Congzhe was still a little worried, "Can this be done?" ”

Gu Yuan smiled lightly, "Hit the snake and hit the seven inches, once you hold their life, there is nothing that you can't do, won't Shen Ying die in the hands of Tang Xiujin?" ”

Fang Congzhe thought about it, "I'll go back and write the song immediately, and I'll go up to him early tomorrow morning, and Brother Linxi won't come forward." ”

Gu Yuan frowned, "If I don't come forward, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with you tomorrow morning." ”

Fang Congzhe smiled, "Whether I can deal with it or not is my business, it has nothing to do with you, I don't want to drag so many people into the fire pit because of my private affairs." ”

"But we're already in the fire pit." Gu Yuan looked at him calmly, and said in a low voice, "What I want to do now is to drag you out, there are quite a few of them." ”

Fang Congzhe muttered to himself: "You are more affectionate and righteous......"

Gu Yuan laughed in a low voice: "Some people have said that I value love and righteousness, and some people have said that I am unkind. Brother Zhonghan, what you see is not necessarily true. ”

Fang Congzhe shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But you have always regarded me as a brother, haven't you?" ”

Gu Yuan stared at him and said slowly: "The friendship between the two of us is mixed with too many interests, perhaps...... We can change the way we get along with each other in the future. ”

Fang Congzhe smiled, is this what it feels like to make a true friend?

Seems not bad.

In the past, he walked alone until he met Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan treats him sincerely, and he can remove all obstacles for Gu Yuan.

"Brother Linxi, promise me one thing, settle my classmates who failed to make the list."

When the two left, the rain was lighter.

Gu Yuan walked halfway to the road, and suddenly the carriage in the palace stopped beside him, and a pair of slender and soft plain hands lifted the curtain, and called him softly: "Ah Yuan!" ”

Gu Yuan smiled in a low voice.

He knew that in such a big battle, she must have come.

In the carriage, Shen Zhixi lazily leaned on the weathered young man, hooked him with a wisp of black hair and played with it in the palm of his hand, "Fang Congzhe asked you what price you asked for this time?" ”

"Settle those who don't make the list." Gu Yuan smiled, "Do you still need his instructions?" ”

Shen Zhixi nodded along with his words, "Yes, you are not familiar with him in the first place, why is he so abnormal today?" ”

Gu Yuan grabbed Shen Zhixi's soft tip playing with the tip of his hair, and his tone was a little pampered and arrogant: "Your Highness, if you want to know what will happen next, first agree to my request." ”

Shen Zhixi smiled lightly, "Do you think there are any other requirements that a princess in this palace can't meet?" Say it. ”

Gu Yuan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I want to kiss you, is that okay?" ”

Shen Zhixi was stunned for a moment.

"Just kiss it, you still want to ask for the opinion of this palace?" She found that Gu Yuan was really too reserved.

On weekdays, he looks like he is not stingy, but he is a gentleman who is upright in his bones.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhixi couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips slightly, "Just kiss, who stopped you?" ”

He leaned down like a devout believer, leaving a mark on the girl's lips that belonged to him.

It was the noblest deity in his heart, and he had to take every single one of her seriously.

It wasn't until the Xuande furnace that was shelved on the side fell to the ground that Gu Yuan came back to his senses, and he seemed to have forgotten something important.

By the way, I haven't said anything about promising His Highness yet.

He cleared his throat and said slowly: "Fang Congzhe can be honest with me, I am actually very surprised, but think about it carefully, except for the day I found him, you counted him down, I am not bad to him." ”

Shen Zhixi looked at the sky speechlessly: "You mean, I was wrong to count him down?" ”

Gu Yuan hurriedly defended: "I'm not, I don't, he deserves it." ”

Shen Zhixi smiled softly, "I just treated others as brothers, so I regretted it?" ”

Gu Yuan smiled silently.

"Actually, you are right, he pulled all of us into a fire pit that we may not be able to get out of, and it is indeed not very righteous." Shen Zhixi smiled lightly, "But fortunately, we have brought the situation back, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”

Gu Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in his arms: "Tomorrow morning, we will see what Fang Congzhe will do." ”
