72 Chapter 72

The dark underground culvert, the rain rushing down from the canal and splashing filled the entire buffer pool, and there was a dark wind whirring through, but it was actually quite cold.

But for some reason, Xie Ci suddenly had a dry mouth.

Gu Guan's face was close at hand, it was too dark here, and she could only vaguely see the outline of her face, the small bridge of her nose that was straight and slightly upturned, her eyes couldn't see clearly, and she was hidden in the black shadows.

But on the contrary, Xie Ci could feel her gaze, starting from his chest muscles, sweeping all the way up along his collarbone shoulder arm, slowly, lingering in his Adam's apple and jawline, and finally landing on his face and eyes.

Xie Ci felt that her gaze was on fire, and the position swept over was like a line of fire, his mouth was dry, his whole body seemed to be burning, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his heart was pounding like he wanted to jump out.

She was on top, their faces were so close that they couldn't see clearly, but she stared condescendingly into his eyes, and the two were staring at each other, their snorts mixed together, and each could clearly feel the taste and temperature of each other's breath.

This delicate atmosphere and scorching temperature made even the thank-you faintly perceive something different.

In the end, Gu Wan pressed one hand on the moss, and the slippery and greasy feeling made her goosebumps all of a sudden, and then she heard something Suo, although it was not the child's side, but she was excited, and quickly jumped up, "Thank you, quickly take the child down."

In fact, the whole process is only a matter of seconds, short but long, and there seems to be something more in the air, sticky and sticky.

She got up together, and thanked her for a moment of loss, but the feeling of red face and red ears did not fade, and he quickly jumped up, hugged the swaddling clothes, and fell to the ground.

The posture is vigorous and long, the bee waist and ape arms, this dark environment is actually the most able to see the charm of a person, thank you if the thunder is quiet like a fallen leaf, the majestic man falls on the edge of the waterhole in fine armor, standing like a pine, such as standing on the top of the mountain.

This silhouette and figure are perfect to the extreme.

He tiptoed a little and swept this way.

Gu Wan stood in a relatively wide corner, she tilted her head slightly to look at the thanks, the person in front of her was the same as before, but it seemed to be a little different.

She recalled Fang Cai's feeling, tasted it carefully, and couldn't help laughing. She didn't laugh, but there was no sound in this place except the sound of water, and the sound of her laughing breath became unusually clear.

Xie Ci also felt that something was different, hearing her laughter, his cheeks suddenly warmed up, he hugged a swaddling baby, and touched the girl's face indiscriminately, nothing messy touched the child, his eyes stared at her for a moment, he was nervous, and blurted out

And out, "Guanguan, like we have a baby?"

He was already standing in front of her, between the two, he was holding a swaddling baby in his arms, and he somehow suddenly thought that he and Gu Wan would have a child in the future, and a family of three would be like this.

He panicked and blurted out.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Xie Ci realized that he had said the wrong thing, Gu Wan "poofed" and laughed, and the sticky atmosphere was swept away in an instant.

Gu Guan: "???"

She subconsciously looked down at Xie Ci, who was holding the swaddling baby, and her mind automatically made up a dad who was about to be driven crazy by the baby with a turban, she laughed, oh my God, Xie Ci is really a god who destroys the atmosphere!

Gu Wan didn't dare to laugh too loudly, and quickly covered her mouth, although the flap door on the slope was already closed, there must be ventilation holes nearby, she was afraid that the loud voice would be heard, so she sneered, she patted the door of her thanks, "Why don't you go quickly?"

After a long time, her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and now she could see the base and the moss-covered position, she dotted a black piece, which was slippery and greasy, so she jumped lightly, jumped to the innermost small piece without wet moss, and walked along the edge of the waterhole to the exit of the canal.

Acknowledgments:

He hated himself so much, but Gu Wan's hearty laughter showed her extremely happy mood, the warmth was gone, but the atmosphere was extremely light and there was a hint of sweetness, Xie Ci's shoulders collapsed, and she was not annoyed in a blink of an eye.

She walked forward, and he immediately followed.

Gu Wan jumped around the corner, tied his sleeves and boots, his figure was light and flexible, he followed two steps, stood in place and looked at her for a while, he rubbed his feet against the stone base twice, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Guanguan, have you found a little feeling?"

He also compared with his hands, and compared a little.

Gu Wan couldn't help laughing, Qingshi is very green, but not stupid. She looked back and smiled, "Yes." She did the same as he did, and she compared her fingers a little bit, "A little, so much."

Although her fingers were really only a little smaller, originally an inch, and deliberately retracted back to half an inch, but where could Xie Ci take care of this, he held his breath, and his heart was overjoyed in an instant, "Really, really?!"

Is there really one?

He swept down to her side, and asked one after another, Gu Wan sneered and chuckled twice, and hurriedly said, "Be quiet."

"Let's go, you fool!"

She knocked him on the head twice, "There may be one here

Snakes. The voice of Sissisoso just now rang again, and her goosebumps were about to come out.

The corners of Xie Ci's mouth were almost grinning behind his ears, how could he not listen, he immediately responded, hugged her waist, and leaned forward and swept away.

This drainage channel may have been an alternate retreat road, with a continuous line of stone foundations on both sides above the water.

However, in recent days, the autumn rain has continued, and the water of Taiye Pond Lake has swelled, and the turbulent water continues to pour into the drainage of all sides, and the lagoon under the imperial city is one of them, and the water level has never come down.

Xie Ci put his arm around Gu Guan's waist with one hand, forcing the narrow drainage canal to give him a feeling of walking on the flower road, Gu Wan was funny in his heart, but in addition to being funny, there was another feeling of happiness.

Walking to the narrowest place, the water was already high beyond the stone base, and the two simply gave up the not wide and mossy stone base, and Xie Ci put her on the top of her head, she rode on his shoulder, and he flowed past. Gu Wan didn't care about anything else, she hugged the swaddling clothes, leaned over carefully, the back of her head almost wiped the top of the canal, and blocked the baby's face by the way, afraid of falling something, children are different from adults.

Alas, this baby is really good, but it's a pity that it's Yu Yanzhen's daughter, which really makes people's feelings a little complicated.

Children are easy to get hungry, and the two of them hurry up to evacuate, otherwise they will cry and be in great trouble.

Fortunately, the process of leaving was relatively smooth, and after passing the narrowest section smoothly, the two re-entered the stone foundation, and Xie Ci leaned over and flew all the way at high speed, and soon arrived at the mouth of the drainage channel.

The mouth of the canal narrowed, and a dragon's head sprayed water straight into the Jinshui River, but when he got here, there was no difficulty in thanking him, he listened for a moment, with a large and a small, and swept out of the top wall of the canal, and a golden hook hung upside down, and turned over and stuck outside the white marble river guard.

The eyes suddenly opened up, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the cold wind of late autumn was blowing across the river, it was already two watches, and the dark night brought the greatest convenience to Xie Xie, he observed, this place was already located in the outermost circle of the outer court, and in the distance, several carriages that had left the official office rushed over, and had just passed the inspection of the forbidden army.

Xie Ci Gu Wan was still tied to the outer armor behind him, and he was going to go to the few points that Yin Luo said after the replacement, but he simply didn't need it, Xie Ci quickly swept into the official office row room opposite, and took advantage of the turn to roll, and sent Gu Wan to the bottom of a carriage, and he held the swaddling clothes for a while

After waiting for a while, I got into the second car.

The wheels were round, about a cup of tea, and the two of them went out of the outer court and left the imperial city smoothly.

Thanks to the unknown owner of the carriage, Xie Ci made a little noise in front of him, and the coachman looked up, Gu Wan let go and lay on the street, and ran as soon as he got up

Go into the side alley.

There is no need to make a code, the tacit understanding between the two is extreme, Gu Wan rushed all the way along the alley to the end, Xie Ci had already swept over, the two held hands and ran forward along the street that was not yet curfew.

The wind in late autumn is already very cool, but it is a little hot all the way out, Gu Guanhu, so comfortable, the free air is refreshing.

The two looked at each other and smiled, rushed out all the way down the alley, and entered Tai Wai Fang, where the shops were still closed by people and cars, and when they got here, they had completely escaped.

The two stopped, looked back at the Vermilion Imperial City at the end of Tongtian Street, Gu Wan leaned over to the swaddling clothes and took a look, the girl was fine, she was dozing, the autumn wind was blowing, she fanned herself, and asked thanks: "How are you doing? Did anything happen?"

The fight between this father and son of the heavenly family will definitely affect the resignation.

Gu Wan has been closed for more than half a month, and he doesn't know anything outside, but looking at the inside of the tunnel, it is estimated that it is quite lively, and I don't know what happened to them?

Unexpectedly, when he asked such a question, Xie Ci was quiet for a moment, and he leaned less, and he said softly: "Last night, the emperor handed over the case of the crown prince's rebellion to me, and when the East Palace raised troops to usurp the rebellion, I need to capture him on the spot, and no one will be left behind."

When Xie Ci said this, his tone was gentle, because he was talking to Gu Guan, but as he spoke, a kind of coldness gradually appeared under the gentle tone.

From this angle, he just saw the palace gate, and the huge imperial city with golden tiles and red walls was like a giant beast lurking in the darkness under the night. Xie Ci has always been very happy, just now holding hands and running, as if rising against the wind. But as soon as this topic was mentioned, his joy faded visibly.

Xie Ci pulled his lips, the street was bustling with people and cars, lively but silently and quietly pulled away, out of place, he said expressionlessly: "Wait for the rabbit, catch them all, and copy the East Palace." "

In just twelve words, shocking, Xie Ci looked up at the central axis of the majestic imperial city, and the top of the Yuquan Palace stood on the top of the ninety-nine layers of white marble stairs, looking down on the entire Central Capital and even the world in the dark.

Xie Ci smiled without a smile: "He also sent two people, Xue Rong'an and Yukai, and they returned to the civil and military forces under the command of the East Palace. The wind whistled by, and after the hot sweat faded, the icy autumn wind slowly made people's hairs stand on end. The night is glamorous, and after the prosperity fades, there is a thick black engulfing everything in all directions. Little by little, I cover it from all directions.

Gu Guan: "......"

She was surprised, in just half a month, has she reached this point?

br /> - Gu Wan understood the words of thanks almost in seconds, I damn this old emperor is too vicious! This is not leaving a way for Xie Ci to survive at all, and he is really going to turn him into a knife that will be thrown away when he runs out!

But to say that Gu Wan is not mentally prepared at all, no, because of the original book, she still has a certain understanding of this emperor, and she also guessed what means the old emperor would take in addition to the hostages, and she even discussed it with the same people in Xie Ci Fang before entering the palace.

But she never expected that she would cover her heart and suddenly come so quickly and viciously!

The autumn wind was blowing, before the first snow fell in early winter, on the day Xie Ci took Gu Wan home, he received an edict from Lu Haide who came at night, "Thank you, Your Majesty announced that you will go to Beijing to order troops at the beginning of tomorrow, and then enter from Xide Gate, and arrive at Xuanwu Gate in the imperial city before the beginning of Hai!"

It was an ordinary day that everyone thought was ordinary, and even tore a dead and alive in the face, causing many people to stay in the government office and fight at night to discuss countermeasures.

On this night, the palace gate had just been spooned, but there were many people waiting silently.

Li Yi, who was entangled in affairs, suddenly threw down the file in his hand, stood up and walked to the side of the west window, the window was not opened, he stood in the room and stared at the faint light and the window screen in the corner of the red wall not far away, holding the Huanghuali bracelet in his hand, and constantly coiling it quickly.

This is the first time that Li Yi has been in the core of the power of the entire dynasty, and the first time he has personally come into contact with this shocking huge vortex that has strangled countless people at every turn.

tight

Zhang will still have it.

He thought silently in his heart, and he didn't know how Xie Ci was doing now? In the other two places, Feng Kun and Lin Guozhang, these two had already returned to the house before nightfall.

At this moment, in the big study room in the house, the huge sill window opened, the northwest wind howled into the room, and the paper was turning over, but the room was different from the silence inside and outside the imperial city, and the two of them sat and stood together.

This storm will pour in an instant.

And at this moment, they are all behind the scenes.

It was a shocking night.

Cumulus clouds obscured the stars and moon, the night was dark, and Gu Wan followed Xie Ci and galloped on the way to Beijing. The back of the man in front of him, the heavy black armor body was tense to the extreme.

The old emperor didn't even give a thank-you speech, but his own soldiers, Qin Guan and others were arranged into the camp headquarters of the Beijing camp.

He smiled coldly, and sure enough, it was downright.

/>

The thunderous cavalry galloped across the bluestone street, and many ordinary people did not know why, so they hurriedly closed the doors and windows.

There is no suspense in this battle of capture and rebellion, the old emperor has already solved the people underground, the failure of the crown prince Li Min is expected, and the old emperor even has several insurance forbidden army deployments, and the resignation is just a person who has been pushed to the surface.

The black heavy armor, the black helmet, the red tasseled long knife, and the sound of military boots landing on the ground step by step, slammed open the door of the East Palace, took down all the people inside, and tied them up and dragged them out.

After capturing the rebellious crown prince, he swept away the rebels in the imperial city, and then went straight to the East Palace, and then ordered the troops to divide the road and rush to the mansion of Zhan Shifu's cronies to capture the rebels.

By this time, the sky was already dark. The overall situation has been decided, and martial law has been lifted.

However, what Xie Ci had to face was never just the coercive tendency of the old emperor.

There was a light rain in the middle of the night last night, the white marble ground was soaked, and in the East Palace, crying and shouting, even the crown princess and the emperor's eldest grandson were dragged out of the flail.

Xie Ci stood in the autumn wind with a cold expression, but dozens of people came in the distance, both old, middle and young, but most of them were trembling old men and people in their thirties and forties.

In the palace, there are still many people who can still dare to walk this way at this time. All were mainstays in the royalists.

There are even many of them, who are his father's former mentors or like-minded comrades, and there are even those who are kind to him.

His Royal Highness the Prince! Your Highness! The eldest grandson of the emperor, you let go of the eldest grandson of the emperor, ah the crown princess, how dare you, how dare you—— the scattered East Palace, blood-stained ground, these people are spinning the world, and they are harsh.

asked, Qin Guan Chen Luo could only say coldly with an expressionless face: "Rebels, the crime should be punished!" His Majesty has a decree, and all the people in the East Palace are detained for crime.

The sound of military boots sounded, and Fenlu went straight to the mansions of the officials of the Zhan Mansion and the rest of the prince's faction who participated in this matter without mercy. Uprooted, not a single one remains.

The people who can come here at this time, there is no shortage of the country's Zaifu, all of them are well-informed people, and the cause and effect of the end of martial law have been known in such a short period of half an hour.

Xie Ci's heavy armor was soaked, and a strand of hair hung down in the helmet, and his face was as heavy and cold as last night's rain.

After Zhang Ningyuan's uncle Zhang Yuanrang was furious, he slowly turned back, and he gave Xie Ci a slap with a backhand "snap".

This man with a long beard and black eyes with angry eyes hated: "The old man really hates that he helped you in the first place!"

/> Xie Yun Xie Ping swiped and drew his long sword. Xie Ci raised his hand and stopped them. Slowly, he looked up and didn't say anything.

In one day, the dust has settled. In the evening of the same day, he resigned and returned home.

The oil lamp in the house has already been lit, but Gu Wan likes to light it, after he entered the big study, he picked up the lamp on the side of the big bookcase and lit it.

The room was brightly lit, and Gu Wan whispered to Xie Ping to fetch ice water and cotton cloth. But Xie Ping went as soon as he returned home.

Ice water and towels were quickly delivered, and Gu Wan said a little cautiously: "Thank you, can I put a dressing on your face?" One side of Xie Ci's face was swollen, and Zhang Yuan gave up his strength.

However, after a day, Xie Ci's mood had calmed down, he took off his helmet and touched his face, Okay. He also slowed down his voice and said to Gu Guan: "Don't worry, he will hit and beat, it will be fine."

If you change any of those people, it is impossible for Xie Ci to be beaten in vain, but Zhang Yuanrang is the only one, he has not forgotten the kindness of saving the Xie family's daughters, and this slap will be taken if he is beaten.

Xie Ci took off his heavy armor, took off his rain-soaked and fast-drying dirty clothes, went to take a hot bath, and after coming out, Gu Wan also changed into his regular clothes, he was half lying on the recliner, Gu Wan twisted the ice kerchief and applied the left half of his face.

In the huge study, the partition door was wide open, and the large lantern hanging under the eaves was blown by the wind, casting no more and no less, but it could not completely drive away the darkness of the courtyard, and the shadow wall at the end disappeared into a dark night.

Resentment, haze, after this day and night, Xie Ci's thoughts were unprecedentedly calm.

"He wanted me to be a knife."

But I don't want to be a knife! The power of the crown prince, the resignation ignited the burning ambition of the bear.

From now on, I want to be a person like Feng Kun! Xie Ci lay on the recliner and said in a dumb voice. In the end, it was cold and powerful. The hands on both sides of the recliner were clenched into fists, and the green tendons were raised.

Gu Wan listened to his hoarse voice at this moment, and his suddenly sharp eyes and face, and shook his hand, expressing silent encouragement and support.

Alas, Gu Wan knew that sooner or later there would be such a thing, in his previous life, he had a love-hate relationship with the royal family and the country, and he gave up revenge after struggling. But more than a year earlier in his life, after knowing all kinds of truths, he finally went down the opposite path.

This is also what Gu Wan wants him to go, to live to death. But this is probably the most of his life

Sink into the darkest of times.

took a slap in the face, but there was nothing he could do, and it was even good, because it was very likely that he and Zhang Yuanrang would eventually become your mortal enemies.

Xie Ci's eyes were a little red, he stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, Gu Wan knew that his father, brother and her, in fact, he was very tenacious, otherwise he would not be able to go to this day, this is the first time he has cried because of these two things.

Xie Ci held her hand with his backhand, her hand touched the ice water, it was cold, he quickly put down the hand covering his eyes, and covered her hand in the palm of his hand with both hands to warm it.

But he was reluctant to let her put down the hand that was covering his face, and after thinking about it, he took another dry cotton handkerchief from the side and asked her to pad her hand. Holding her hand, quietly resting his head on her shoulder, feeling her body temperature, it seems that even the haze is gradually driving away from his heart. Xie Ci sat for a moment and said, "This is the path I chose." The second sister-in-law said that if it doesn't end in the end, no one knows whether it's right or wrong. That's how I told myself.

He took a deep breath and looked at Ling Ran: "If he wants me to die, I won't die!"

All the infamy, all the attacks, just come! There was an unprecedented unyielding unyielding in his chest, and he snorted coldly, word by word: Didn't he let me be a knife?

also sent Xue Rongan Xiaokai to take charge of accepting the East Palace forces after the fall of the crown prince, the East Palace forces are not small, this is to take Xie Ci as a clear tool man, strictly prevent him from breaking free from the clamp and sitting big, I am going to get it!

Get this East Palace power!

If he recites the name, then he will memorize it to the end and sit on it, and he must be rewarded for what he has done! Even if you are a powerful minister like Feng Kun, you will not hesitate!

When Xie Ci said this, he stood up suddenly, he was wearing a snow-white bedclothes, only a black cloak, an iron-blooded calm between his eyebrows, and his posture was not inferior to the heroism of his father and brother back then, as heavy as an abyss, and Yue Zhi was pure.

Gu Wan looked up at him, and at this moment she really felt that the thin boy she used to drag out of the prison had really grown into a man, iron-blooded and majestic.

In the previous life that he didn't know, until the moment of his death in battle, he was tightly bound by these things, looking up at the sky on his deathbed, the remnant sun was like blood, and his eyes could not be closed until death.

After several times of depression in this life, he finally managed to break free of these things.

Although he was covered in blood and the process would be painful, Gu Wan believed that it would definitely be fine in the end.

- Gu Wan has actually been a little worried, although the Northwest War Beirong has been defeated, she had thought about this before

I don't know if the trajectory of my life will follow the old path.

But after Gu Wan paid close attention to the information collected by Xie Jiawei and Liu Yunwei for a period of time, as well as the various things she had witnessed, she was almost sure that the old road would not be able to escape.

This dynasty is difficult to return, not one or two big victories can be reversed, thank them for being in the game The side is unpredictable and abrupt, but she knows that as long as Hu Yande gives a little strength, the abrupt ending may not wait too long and will appear again.

Anyway, all kinds of traces made her feel that it was likely to go according to the original track, and at most there would be many differences in details.

This is the stage of the final accumulation of power, and at this critical moment, Xie Ci can completely break free from the invisible clamp of the king's loyalty in a short period of time, Gu Wan is really happy.

She immediately said, "He won't let us get better, why should we make him better?!" This sentence is very contrary, but it is said in the heart of thanks, and he is dumbfounded: "Yes." He lowered his head and smiled at Gu Guan.

The bloodshot under his eyes was still there, but his expression had completely calmed down.

Under the light, Gu Guan smiled, his heart was very warm, with Gu Guan's support, it seemed that no matter how much there was going on, no matter how much wind and waves outside, his heart could erect a hard armor to protect her and them inside.

Xie Cichang exhaled a breath of turbid breath in his chest, and after Gu Guan's explanation, he felt completely comfortable in his heart. The two looked at each other and smiled.

The lights were bright, and Gu Wan suddenly beckoned to him.

Xie Ci originally thought she had something serious to say, but she looked serious, but after leaning over, she straightened up and said in his ear: "You are so handsome.

The scene of iron-blooded calm is so handsome that he can't close his legs.

From this angle, Gu Wan glanced at his Adam's apple, she was very interested in this hard and sexy Adam's apple, anyway, it was her boyfriend, she curled her lips, so she obeyed her heart and touched it with her index finger.

From top to bottom, the soft fingertips rubbed gently so slowly.

Thanking a spirit, he almost shouted, swallowed it dangerously, and the whole person flicked it. Gu Wan was in a super good mood, and after touching it, he raised his eyes and teased him.

Xie Ci's face was as red as blood, his heart was pounding, his breathing was chaotic, and the old emperor and the East Palace forces were thrown aside by him in an instant, and his brain was mixed up like a mess.

Gu Wan sneered, stepped back, and touched his Adam's apple again, it felt so good, "I'm leaving, I'm going back to sleep!"

Xie Ci didn't react at all, he froze and watched her sneer like a butterfly in flowers, and walked out of the corridor.

br /> Xie Ci's face was red like a drop of blood, and it took a long time before he covered his Adam's apple and fell on the couch, dying, dying, he was dying.

He also clearly felt the difference.

I thought that her promise and holding hands were already the best and best, but I didn't expect that this new mode and the stimulation of unfamiliar senses would not work, and he was dying.
