Late at night.

Two guests came to the Xianwang Mansion, plus Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong picked up the stars, which gave the always deserted palace a bit of a lively feeling.

Although it has not yet reached the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chu Yang still set up a table of wine and food in the courtyard, he has not been drunk outside all these years, but it is the first time to drink in the Xianwang Mansion.

"You shouldn't have come back."

Guo Bujing, who was dressed in regular clothes, sat directly opposite Chu Yang, looking at him with a sad face.

"If Lord Guo loses the position of the head of the forbidden army, I will punish myself."

Chu Yang raised his wine glass and drank it all.

"Whoever is the head of the forbidden army is replaced, in fact, it's all the same, I never care about these things, without these trivial things, the six doors at least won't be as negligent in management as before."

Guo Bujing's expression was indifferent, and there was no trace of regret on his face, he really didn't like the position of the head of the forbidden army.

is not good at fighting for power and profit, it does not mean that Guo Bujing can't see the emperor's intentions, it is difficult to balance the two gods with six doors alone, so the emperor will give him the title of the head of the forbidden army.

"Indeed, without trivial matters, Lord Guo even has time to catch the river thief."

Chu Yang looked at Chai Hu who was drinking stuffy wine with a smile.

"Hahaha, surnamed Chai, you also have today."

Sikong Xingxing and Chai Hu are old acquaintances, and when they learned that the other party was recruited by the legendary Guo Juxia, they immediately laughed back and forth.

Chai Hu felt that his face was dull, so he twisted his head to the side, just in front of Lu Xiaofeng's smiling face.

He and Sikong Xingxing are old acquaintances, so he naturally knows Lu Xiaofeng.

"Big man, I said a long time ago, you will be caught sooner or later, to be honest, your methods of robbing the rich and helping the poor are really rough, and you can know your heels with a little investigation."

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head helplessly.

"This is the rumored Lu Xiaofeng in the rivers and lakes? Listening to my disciples, Lu Daxia's investigation of the case is very good. ”

Guo Bujing admired Lu Xiaofeng very much, and it was rare to show a smiling face.

Chu Yang knew that he was trying to get Lu Xiaofeng to the six doors.

"There is no hero in front of Guo Juxia, don't laugh at me when you are old."

Lu Xiaofeng waved his hand again and again, showing rare modesty, and like most martial arts people, he admired Guo Bujing very much.

"You two don't flatter each other, I won't even taste drinking."

Chu Yang looked at Guo Bujing and asked, "Lord Guo came to visit late at night with Chai Hu, what happened?" ”

Guo Bujing sighed and said: "During the day, Chai Hu told me everything, fortunately, this guy's brain is not too stupid and he didn't mess around, but in addition, he also brought me a piece of news." ”

"Chai Hu, say it yourself." Chai Hu, who had been drinking alcohol, heard Guo Bujing's voice, and immediately shook his head, put down his wine glass, and slowly turned his head and said: "After the prince left the palace during the day, the new Li Jiaotou suddenly summoned most of the guards into the palace and secretly practiced the battle formation in the palace. ”

"It's the kind of special formation that specializes in dealing with martial arts masters, I'm a lay disciple of Buddhism, and I've seen similar formations."

Guo Bujing continued: "My old subordinates in the forbidden army were either dismissed from their posts and investigated, or they were thrown elsewhere. ”

"Because Chai Hu has just joined the forbidden army, he has nothing to do with me, and his net worth is quite innocent, so he reluctantly stayed there and heard some rumors."

Sikong Xingxing secretly snickered, the thief who turned over the river can still be described as innocent, he can be regarded as an eye-opener.

Guo Bujing glanced at him.

Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly hit Sikong Xingxing with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "You are crazy, you are no less guilty than Chai Hu, and you are not restrained in front of the head catcher of the six gates, do you really want to go into the prison to see?" ”

Sikong Xingxing hurriedly stopped his voice, and a layer of fine cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

He is similar to Bai Zhantang's nature, although he likes to steal things, but he never starts with the poor people, most of the time he plays secretly, in order to show his ability, after he is done, he will put it back for the master.

Of course, the money of some corrupt officials is another matter.

In recent years, there have been more than one or two robbers of the rich and helping the poor, as long as it is not too excessive, Guo Bujing also turns a blind eye to this.

"A few years ago, Yan Ge's old family was robbed and lost some silver."

Guo Bujing's understatement made Sikong Xingxing's back soaked.

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that 300,000 taels of silver were stolen from Yan Song's mansion, and he secretly approached Guo Bujing and wanted to ask Six Doors to help recover the silver.

Yan Ge smashed things at home in an old-fashioned manner, but he didn't dare to say anything, after all, 300,000 taels is not a small amount, where did you get 300,000 taels from a pavilion old house, if you really want to make a big fuss, how can the emperor and the hundred officials get by?

The whereabouts of 300,000 taels of silver were finally lost, but Guo Bujing knew that he had been taken to help the victims.

The leader was the gang of thieves who picked up the stars, and the thieves who had not washed their hands at that time also participated.

As for Chai Hu, his methods were too rough, and he was kicked out of the team by others, and he didn't even catch a job of looking at the wind, so he had a conflict with Sikong Xingxing.

"Lord Guo, Yan Ge's hometown has a lot of money, this money is gone, I guess I won't care."

"That's what the prince said."

Chu Yang and Guo Bujing toasted each other, which meant that this matter was revealed.

Sikong Xingxing, who almost went to the prison for a while, was weak in his feet, he didn't expect Guo Bujing to know from the beginning that they did it.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Lu Xiaofeng's voice in his ear asking for credit.

"There are many friends, and the road is easy to walk, this sentence is true."

Sikong Xingxing could only obediently bend down and salute Chu Yang.

"Lu Xiaofeng, since you claim to be a friend of the prince, why don't you stop him from coming back, with your cleverness, you won't be able to think of the consequences."

Thinking of this, Guo Bujing was angry and looked at Lu Xiaofeng dissatisfied.

"Guo Juxia is a little embarrassed, his feet are on the prince's body, how can I stop him?"

Lu Xiaofeng's face was inexplicable.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Chu Yang raised his wine glass with a smile and interrupted the conversation between the two, "This return to Beijing is my own decision, it has nothing to do with anyone, Lord Guo doesn't have to worry, how about having a drink together." ”

"How can I not be worried?" Guo Bujing's tone suddenly became impatient, "Martial arts also have an end, no matter how strong your personal force is, you can't withstand the charge of tens of thousands of iron cavalry, even Zhuge Shenhou doesn't dare to say that he can get out alive from the encirclement and suppression of the 800,000 forbidden army." ”

"Lord Wang, don't be arrogant!"

Chu Yang put down the wine glass, shook his head and said, "There are some things that Zhuge Shenhou dare not say, but I can say them." ”

"Lord Wang!" Guo Bujing was anxious, but there were some things he couldn't say clearly, because he was a minister, and he had to be loyal to the emperor in what he said and did.

Even if he was dissatisfied with the emperor's obsession with power and sorrow for the suffering of the people, he could not betray the emperor, otherwise it would be a disloyal and unrighteous way, and he would be sad.

But deep down, Guo Bujing hopes that someone will come out to change the current situation and save the people from fire and water.

This person is Chu Yang.

The human heart is often mired in conflicting emotions.

The contradiction of Guo Bujing is that he is loyal to the king, that is, he traps the people of the world in injustice, and if he is loyal, he has to let the emperor get down from the dragon chair.

Knowing that Chu Yang was very likely to rebel, he still turned a blind eye, neither helped nor denounced, and his heart was very tormented.

The dilemma of loyalty and righteousness.

He persuaded Chu Yang to leave, hoping that the other party could keep a useful body and make plans.

Not for the sake of a momentary anger, so that the whole world loses hope.

"Master Guo, I appreciate your kindness, but as I said just now, there are some things that only I can do."

"I take a step back today, a step back tomorrow, where do I have to retreat, to be a head?"

"Even if I retreat to the edge of the cliff, the emperor won't necessarily let me go, right?"

"The thing he regrets the most now is probably letting me live for so many years."

After Chu Yang finished speaking, Guo Bujing fell silent, but then he changed his words.

"The singing and dancing in the capital is leveling, but the whole south is in danger, the demon clan has swallowed Dongying, the number of demons has doubled, and when they are completely withdrawn from the demon rebellion, how can the south resist?"

"Can I retreat again and again, can the people of the world do it?"

"Those generals who guard the gate have already established themselves as kings, even if some people are lucky enough to survive from the hands of the demon clan, they may still die at their hands."

"Master Guo, when is it going to be messy?"

Guo Bujing's face turned red when he heard this, and a sense of guilt arose spontaneously in his heart, his fists were clenched, his whole body trembled, and after a long time, he turned into a sigh, "That's it, the prince is determined to do this, Guo should not stop it, but the next time the prince enters the palace again, Guo should accompany him." ”

Guo Bujing thought that the probability that Chu Yang would never return was extremely high, and made this promise to prove that he intended to accompany Chu Yang to his death.

Chu Yang naturally understood his thoughts, shook his head and said, "Lord Guo doesn't have to be like this. ”

Guo said with a resolute attitude: "Since the prince does not listen to the persuasion, then Guo will naturally not listen to the persuasion of the prince, and the prince does not need to say much." ”

Then, he showed a relieved smile and said: "Guo Bujing has been the head of the six doors for so many years, and he has not been able to make the world better, nor can he let the people live a good life, so he should always give them an explanation." ”

Even Chai Hu, who is stupid and coarse, can hear the death intent in Guo Disrespect's words, not to mention the smart Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Xingxing.

The three of them were immediately in awe.

After showing his enlightenment, Guo Bujing drank all the wine in the cup, said goodbye to Chu Yang and left, without giving others a chance to persuade him.

"Silly big man, aren't you going with Guo Juxia?"

"I will take a break for two days after tomorrow, and Lord Guo asked me not to go back, waiting for the matter to be over."

"What do you mean?"

"How do I know what it means, Master Guo said so, I'll just follow along."

"Tsk, I've never seen you so obedient before."

"Who the wants to listen to a thief."

"Speak respectfully, I'm the king of stealing kings!"

Without saying a few words, Sikong Xingxing quarreled with Chai Hu, Lu Xiaofeng didn't bother to pay attention to them, and silently walked to Chu Yang's side.

The two watched as the moon in the sky became more and more round and brighter, like white porcelain.

It's not the Mid-Autumn Festival yet, and the moon is so beautiful, I really don't know how beautiful it will be on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"I walked around the city during the day and something happened that made me think something was wrong with this duel, and I was going to check it out."

"Can you tell me?"

"Someone opened a duel with the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he died inexplicably, and I also met Ye Gucheng, he gave me a little strange feeling......"

"Since you're curious, let's look it up."

"What did you mean when you told me the other day that Ye Gucheng's sword intent was no longer pure?"

"The puzzle will be revealed at the end."

"Can't the prince tell me now?"

"I can't."

"Then I'll go first, see you on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed helplessly, and then asked his boss to pick up the stars and leave the Xianwang Mansion together, Chu Yang did not interfere in any way in order not to change the plot, he also wanted to see why Ye Gucheng dared to move the emperor.

Li Xunhuan once revealed to Chu Yang that since the great changes in heaven and earth, the royal family has not relied on 800,000 forbidden troops, but other things, which can make the assassination of martial arts powerhouses in vain.

Chu Yang believes in Li Xunhuan's character, since he said so, it is definitely not groundless.

Whether this conspiracy can succeed or not depends on whether the hole cards in the hands of Ye Gucheng and King Pingnan are hard enough, anyway, Lu Xiaofeng finds out to the end, even if he knows the truth, he will definitely stand by.

Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen didn't make a move, and the emperor had no one else to save him except for himself.

Because the people who could save him were busy participating in the siege of Chu Yang.

For example, Cao Zhengchun and Yuhuatian, as well as other masters in the palace......

Sending Lu Xiaofeng away, Chu Yang found that Chai Hu was still sitting in place and eating Haisai, and he had no intention of leaving, saying that he was dull, and that it was not bad to say that he was thick-skinned.

"I have a friend who estimates that he will return to Beijing in two days, and he will introduce him to you when the time comes."

Chu Yang was a little looking forward to the picture of Gexiao and Chai Hu meeting each other, and he didn't know if they still had a chance to form the squad that punished evil and promoted good.

"The prince's friend must be a first-class hero! I'd like to be friends with him! ”

Chai Hu smiled, then smacked his lips and said: "Even if it is a monkey, he dared to shake people to steal Yan Song's house back then, although I didn't deal with him, but I also admitted that he was a good man." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and when Chu Yang saw that he was going to continue eating, he left the table first, and instructed the old housekeeper to find him a room to spend the night after the chai hu was finished.

Guo Bujing brought him here, obviously to let him stay in the palace so as not to be implicated.

Time flashed to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Before it gets dark, the capital is full of red lanterns, which are as festive as the New Year, even in the slum street next to King Xian's mansion.

The bright moon in the sky, rich families have it, and poor families also have it, and it is rare to be fair.

The old butler got up very early and took the servants to work hard, the palace was too big, and it was very troublesome to arrange, and there were not many people, so it was even more difficult.

Fortunately, there is a coolie like Chai Hu, who likes to work hard, and his strength is as strong as a cow.

Chu Yang also wanted to follow the subordinates to arrange, and as soon as he started, he scared the old housekeeper a lot, and he had to kowtow to Chu Yang at an old age, shouting in his mouth, "The prince can't help it", and he didn't let Chu Yang touch it.

In his opinion, although the previous prince was not reliable, he still knew the difference between respect and inferiority, and would not make it difficult for them to be subordinates.

It's good now.

After going out for a while, it becomes even more ridiculous to come back, and I don't know how many jokes will be made in the future.

Thinking of this, the old housekeeper looked at Chu Yang with a helpless expression, until he put down the things in his hand and left the "work site" of the next people.

"I can't stay in this palace for a day!"

Chu Yang scolded and stepped out of the gate of the palace, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Cao Zhengchun walking towards him with the holy decree.

"Lord Wang, isn't this a coincidence, I was looking for you, Your Majesty has a will."

"Bring it."

Chu Yang stretched out his hand and took away the holy decree that Cao Zhengchun was holding, and the latter was directly stunned, normal process, Chu Yang should kneel to receive the decree.

"Benwang has been in poor health lately, especially in his knees."

"Lord Wang, take care of your health."

Cao Zhengchun heard Chu Yang's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. (End of chapter)
