In fact, you can sum up the current Emperor Xu in one sentence.

He was a smart emperor who didn't want to be responsible.

Because he is smart, there is no one in the court who can get out of his control, and the whole country is very stable, because he is irresponsible, so he never thinks about what he wants to do for the country as an emperor, but just thinks that I am the emperor, what should I get.

The Imperial Pavilion, the room that no one could approach, fell silent, breathing quietly.

"Little lady, the holy order must not be violated. ”

Ye Xiaoniang was probably bolder than before, and much calmer than before, she asked, "Third princess, do you want me to accept it?"

"Of course I don't want to. ”

"That's fine, anyway, I've been sick for two years, and I never thought I'd be reborn, and if Your Majesty is angry because of this, it's just death. Ye Xiaoniang thought it out for herself, if Gu Yi was still around, she might still be afraid, but those were just ifs.

It's a rush to die.

It's just that the third princess can't imagine that her father is such a character, and this kind of rejection is an unbearable shame for the emperor, once she gets angry, she doesn't know what means she will use to come out.

Although she said 'I don't want to', in fact, in her inner subconscious, she hoped that Xiaoniang would nod, and in that case, the matter would pass easily.

"Xiao Niang is not afraid of death, if she is not even afraid of death, what else is there to worry about?" the third princess asked faintly, "What will be more serious than death?"

For Ye Xiaoniang, she does have other factors.

The clear water and ten bends of the sun are the key to it.

But the third princess said this, which made her feel a little worried in her heart, what did she mean by this?

Ye Xiaoniang frowned, "The third princess said, what should I do?"

The third princess didn't answer her immediately, but took a sip of the teacup, and it could be seen that the third princess's heart was not very relaxed.

"My father is sick. ”

Ye Xiaoniang understood the meaning of this sentence. That is to say, the emperor will not live long anyway, and it will not take too long to compromise.

"It's not a good choice to die and break the net, soon, I can save you. When the time comes, you and I will enjoy the glory and wealth in the palace, and we can get along every day. ”

The third princess didn't know if these could convince her, so she threw out the last point, "Besides, isn't Xiaoniang going to save Gu Yi? If she dies because of her will, who will save Gu Yi? ”

For the third princess, if Ye Xiaoniang enters the palace, it will also be another pair of eyes and ears for her by the emperor's side.

Everything else is easy to say, but saving Gu Yi did enter Ye Xiaoniang's heart. Between several trade-offs, her mind was also very irritable.

There is also some resentment that the third princess does not understand her.

And the little lady who has some men's psychology doesn't want to say anything when she thinks of that bad old man, she doesn't want to say anything, she gets up with a little impulse, "Don't say it again, I really can't pass this level in my heart, if Your Majesty blames, then I will go and ask for guilt, this matter will not affect the third princess." ”

The third princess was suddenly a little annoyed, "What is this called, aren't I also planning for you? Take a step back and say, that is the Son of Heaven, the Lord of the World, the Respect of Ten Thousand Times, and it makes you feel ashamed to be my concubine of Daxu?!"

"What do you say, not to mention what he has aged, but that kind of heart, who can want to?!"

The third princess was furious, "When did you have the courage to dislike the Son ......of Heaven?"

The phrase 'you're just a piece of cloth' almost came out.

Bang!

The third princess finally slammed the door and walked out.

Before going out, she said, "Think about Gu Yi." ”

She does take advantage of people's weaknesses.

Wanting to save Gu Yi was indeed the only condition that Ye Xiaoniang would consider and wanted to exchange.

......

......

In the dense mountain forest behind Luyang Courtyard, Wu Gang and Xiao Sha walked quickly, and they kept paying attention to the strange pulse-like thing underground.

"It's been so long, and it hasn't even left its area. "Wu Gang's forehead has begun to sweat, this thing is in the period of the Battle of Luyang, can it be a good thing?

Impossible.

And there was an even more terrifying thought that had loomed into his heart.

"The entire Luyang City, in fact, the mountain range behind the Luyang Courtyard is the weakest guard. ”

There are walls in other places, and the road to Luyang from the north is also very clear, and there is no movement these days.

Only this huge mountain range behind Luyang Temple,

Because no one enters, the environment is primitive, and almost no one pays attention to it, so naturally there is no force to guard this place.

"It's impossible, breaking through from here and facing Luyang Courtyard directly is the safest place in Luyang."

It seemed safe, it seemed dangerous, these two thoughts were at war in Wu Gang's head, tormenting him to the point of confusion.

It would be nice if Chen Mingguang was here at this time, that guy would have a better brain.

Whoosh!

The two figures rushed quickly in the direction of Luyang Courtyard.

Boom!

The aura buried in the ground had been quiet, and at this moment, it suddenly made a loud noise!

It reverberates through the jungle valley and is very clear.

"Brother Wu!" Xiao Sha suddenly screamed in horror, he pointed to the sky to his right, "What do you see there?!"

The two of them raised the height of their flight to the treetops, which were an endless forest, and in the green sea, a stone peak suddenly 'grew'.

Yes, it grows out.

And it's getting higher and higher at a rate that's visible to the naked eye.

"What is it?" Wu Gang had never seen this strange thing since he was a child.

"Are you going to take a look, Brother Wu?" Xiao Sha was not afraid at all, he was even a little excited, and he was excited about the unknown adventure.

Wu Gang was not a timid person either, he nodded, "Take your steps lightly, let's touch it carefully." ”

Boom!

It's like the sound of the heart of the earth beating.

Wu Gang and Xiaosha were separated from each other and advanced between the trees, not far from each other. You can keep looking up and observing the 'tall peak' along the way, so you won't run in the wrong place.

Xiao Sha also made some leaves to hang on his head, which he said he had done in the past when he went out of the Victory Pass, and it was not easy for the enemy to find out.

At a certain moment in the journey, suddenly there was a feeling of aura surging, Wu Gang frowned and rushed to Xiao Sha's side, making a 'shhh' gesture, "Just ahead, follow me." ”

He jumped onto a branch, and Xiaosha followed, lightly skirting the branch.

After taking two steps, I began to hear a faint 'buzzing' sound.

There are really people here!

One two three four...... Sixteen people!

Sit in a circle, in the gap between the trees.

Wu Gang held his breath and looked at the strange sixteen people, all wearing the same dark clothes, all wearing masks, and even their bodies looked similar, and they were not sitting around for a meeting, but ......

Xiao Sha was puzzled, the sixteen people seemed to be connecting their spiritual qi into one, and in the center where they were sitting, there were four strange oval-shaped spirit runes, and the spirit runes emitted a faint golden light, slowly rotating and endlessly.

Boom!

A familiar voice sounded again!

The spirit runes among those people actually glowed brighter at the same time, and then dimmed slightly.

Sound and light go hand in hand.

So is it the sound coming out of here?

Wu Gang seemed to have grasped something, the regular beating, the brightening of the spirit rune at that moment, as if the aura was concentrated here, and at the same time, the mountain peak in front of him actually grew a little faster!

Wu Gang suddenly realized, although he didn't know what the purpose of these people was.

But it is clear that these sixteen people have somehow connected the aura to each other and transmitted the aura through this peculiar rune,

Those pipes are used to make the aura 'walk'!

And because of the conception of aura, there are mountains growing up in plain water!

"Do you know our people?" asked Xiaosha in a very soft voice.

"No," Wu had just finished speaking, when he heard a 'whoosh' sound in his ears, and in the middle of the dense forest, a person suddenly came from outside the circle surrounded by sixteen people, he stuck his waist, as if he was making a round, and then said: "Hurry up, keep the same rhythm with everyone,"

"Yes!"

This voice was shouted by sixteen people together!

After shouting, they also exerted their strength together, and the light of the aura on the palm holding the seal was even stronger, as if they were releasing more aura.

However, Wu Gang heard another meaning of this person's words:

There is more than one sixteen-person circular formation like this, and there are also other places!

Otherwise, why bother saying anything about the rhythm all the time?

"It's the enemy," Shisha suddenly said beside him.

"What?"

"The man spoke, with an accent of leaving the country. "The child who has always been naughty seems to have changed his temperament at the moment, and his hand is pressing the short knife on his waist.

When he realizes that these people are leaving, he will subconsciously do so.

Leave people......

Wu Gang's eyes also changed, and he ran to the back of the mountain behind Luyang Courtyard to do this kind of thing, it must be a bad thing!

"What should we do?" Xiao Sha's eyes revealed excitement, "I'm waiting for your instructions." ”

Wu Gang analyzed: "These people must be planning something, although I don't know. ”

"Hmm. ”

"The guy standing on his crossed waist said that he wanted to be consistent, which meant two things, first, there must be such formations in other places, and second, there was a need for coordinated action in various places. ”

So in fact, it is already clear what to do.

"Let's sabotage one!" Xiaosha fully understood.

Wu Gang did think so, "If you break one, you will run away if you hit it." Those sixteen people's aura is all used for transportation, we just need to wait for the guy over there to leave, so as to avoid fighting, maybe we can destroy another one. ”

In the end, he suddenly covered his mouth, and even stopped breathing for a while.

Because the guy below looked carefully in their direction,

Knock knock,

It's their own heartbeat.

Fortunately, the man must have only felt a little bit and was not sure where they were.

Still, he stayed a little longer.

Wu Gang and Xiao Sha had no choice but to climb on the trunk of the tree and wait, but at this time, Wu Gang also confirmed the effect of the sixteen-person circular formation as he had speculated.

The aura in the tube comes from these arrays, and the aura of the array comes from people, although it is not clear what the use of the mountain that grows out.

But since it was done by people who left the country, it was not wrong for them to do some sabotage first.

Sou!

The patrol finally left.

Wu Gang and Xiao Sha glanced at each other, although there were still sixteen people below, they had been sitting cross-legged, and they didn't seem to be able to move, some of them had hideous faces on their faces, and sweat was pouring out, they must have to maintain the output of spiritual energy all the time, so it was extremely expensive.

Draw a knife and work, cut him!

Xiaosha has been trying how to control the aura and use the aura these days, and he has learned a little bit of an introduction, but he hasn't had a single actual battle!

It's just right.,I'm sitting and cutting it today.,Try the feel!

After all, I used to use a knife to cut hard, but now I haven't tried what it feels like to add aura!

Wow!

Wu Gang's movements were faster, he was already standing quietly behind a person, and directly wiped his neck with a knife under the stunned gaze of the people next to him.

The bright red blood entered the water column and generally reddened the faces of the people next to them.

"Who?!"

What this sentence shouted, Wu Gang swished his body twice, and then there were four or five more corpses.

"Be careful!

It's a pity that these people can't be instantaneous, and among the ten people who are alive are ready to stand up to meet the enemy, but when their attention is on Wu Gang's body, and they are a little frightened by his sudden appearance, they don't notice at all that Xiao Sha also touched the back of some of them.

His kid's killing skills are even more treacherous than Wu Gang's.

Three knives were thrown out of his hand, and he played like flowers, flying in the air, and in the blink of an eye, he had already attacked four or five people!

After falling down with a bang, Xiao Sha flashed behind Wu Gang and back-to-back with him, "There are still seven left." ”

In fact, it was seven miscellaneous fish, no matter how strong they were in the past, after just outputting so much aura, they were already in a very weak state at this time.

Thundered!

Suddenly, the mountain peaks that were growing in front of me began to shake unsteadily, and some stones fell down.

Xiao Sha squinted and smiled, "Brother Wu, your guess is right, without aura, that thing really won't work." ”

Wu Gang warned: "Quickly solve, it starts to shake, and people nearby will notice it." ”

Maybe you've noticed it by now and rushed this way.

The remaining seven people were also a little panicked for a while, but fortunately, the backbone was still there, "Find a way to hold it off, and the general will be there soon!"

even warned Wu Gang: "Don't think that the people who killed us can escape ......"

Wow.

Wu Gang has already moved, he talks about the speed to the extreme, and the figure of the whole person is like a flash of light flashing in the dense forest,

"Kill him!"

The seven immediately began to besiege with a few aura,

Wu Gang locked on a person, so he didn't care about his back, because there was Xiaosha there, and this kid was wielding a big knife to block left and right, and three or four people couldn't get close to him at all.

Burst!

Wu Gang's slash brought up a pillar of blood, and it was indeed effortless to kill these people.

However, when there were still two people left, Wu Gang sensed the extreme danger hidden in the darkness of the forest, he put away his knife and pulled up Xiaosha's collar, shouting without dragging the mud and water at all, "Someone is coming, go!"

Sou!

Xiaosha is chopping up, "There are two left!"

Wu Gang pinched the person in his arms and rushed in the direction of Luyang Courtyard, "There is a change in the mountain peak that grows, and the other party's support is coming soon, and there are two more who can't do it." ”

"So what's the matter, just cut him!"

Wu Gang remembered that when he was at the victory pass, Chen Mingguang was hunted down and killed with him at that time, in fact, it didn't mean that he couldn't be defeated at all, but because he wanted to bring back the information he knew, it was a better choice to escape.

The situation is similar at the moment.

"There are very few people coming to this mountain range behind Luyang Courtyard, and it is estimated that you and I know the actions of the people who left the country here, so we must go back alive to tell others what is happening here. ”

"Besides, the original purpose was not to kill people, but to destroy one of the circular formations. ”

Whoosh!

Wu Gang frowned, there were pursuers on both sides, which was worse than he expected!

At the same time, he swept the back, the growing mountain, with his peripheral vision, but the scene he saw made his pupils shrink,

Two more seats?

And the distance between them is not too close.

What do you plan to do when you leave the country?

"Catch up with him!

Behind him was a cold and angry voice commanding, Wu Gang knew that he couldn't fight at this time, but on the rapidly changing battlefield, he also had to think about all possible responses.

The wind was whistling in his ears, and the trees on both sides kept receding, and he roughly estimated the time it would take to get down to Luyang Courtyard,

Half an hour.

"Little sand. ”

The child snorted, "Brother Wu, you say." ”

"I asked you why you survived, and you gave me a reason. But I think there must be another reason. If you want to escape, you must be able to run a long distance, are you good at escaping?"

Xiaosha couldn't deny it, but he said, "I don't like to run away. ”

"It's an order!"

The meaning conveyed in Wu Gang's tone was undoubted, "If I am stopped for a while, don't you save me, you have to do everything you can to escape back to Luyang Courtyard, find Chen Mingguang, and tell him everything you have seen and heard here, word for word, have you heard?"

Xiao Sha's back was cold when he heard this, "Why do you seem to confess your last words?"

In fact, Wu Gang didn't think so, he opened his mouth and smiled, "It's not so easy to want me to die." ”

"Really?"

As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared in front of him.

At this time, you can feel the benefits of Chen Mingguang's medical treatment!

Wu Gang didn't want to fight, he deviated slightly and continued to escape, so fast that when he hit a leaf, the leaf was like a knife edge, and even left a shallow scratch on his cheek!

But this slight pain was nothing at this time, and he didn't even feel any pain!

"Someone is faster than us, Xiaosha, you have to hide and run, remember, no fighting. ”

"Hmm!"

"I regard you as a person in the Luyang Courtyard, everyone in the Luyang Courtyard has to think about the courtyard gate, and at the same time, you have to listen to the words of the seniors, do you listen to my words?!" Wu Gang knew that this child was easy to lose himself in battle, so he added an insurance.

Xiao Sha nodded cautiously, "I must do everything I can to escape!"

"Scatter!"

Xiaosha was still a little smaller, he hid from the high branches, and hid in the low bushes and grass, he had become very familiar with the jungle for the past ten years, and after he got into it like a mouse, all the movement disappeared.

Of course, there were people following him behind, but after walking a few steps, he found that he had lost the trace of Xiaosha, "The two ran apart, what about the child!?"

Xiao Sha didn't know if Wu Gang could survive, and it was not the first time for him to see his companion have to choose a more dangerous path, his heart had gradually strengthened, and his eyes were very firm.

With the help of aura, the sound of Xiao Sha stepping on the ground was even more slight, and even he ran around some criss-crossing branches and detours, he could find a gap, and he got out again after a few turnovers, but the people behind him may not be able to do it.

If you want to cause the bushes to move, the forest also has some wild animals, once the person who tracks him meets one, finds the wrong one, and thinks the animal is him, then it will be difficult to catch up with him.

It's a skill honed over many years of living in these places.

It's a pity that Wu Gang doesn't have these.

He only has speed.

Very fast speed.

But behind him, two cultivators who had left the country had followed him, and the distance seemed to be approaching.

Whoosh!

Wu Gang's ears moved slightly, and in the distance, it seemed that someone was approaching,

"For one me, how many people have been dispatched!"

He seemed to have predicted his end in his heart, but before he died, he still wanted to do something for Xiaosha.

Wu Gang changed direction again and went to the right.

The cultivator who was chasing after him found out, "You want to lure us away from that kid, do you?!"

The purpose is clear.

But after Wu Gang ran for a while, he began to want to adjust the direction to the left, and the people behind him were instantly stunned.

It's hard to tell the difference between one left and one right.

"You can't run away! Don't the people of Luyang Courtyard have the courage to fight?Use all their aura to escape?!"

Perhaps provoked by this sentence, Wu Gang stopped his figure and chose an open place to stay, that is, a few seconds later, the two people who had been chasing him appeared on the opposite side.

"Aren't you running away?"

Wu Gang said: "You don't need to run, this is already Luyang Courtyard, don't you understand the truth that residual blood can't be chased?"

It's already Luyang Temple?

Taking advantage of the other party's stunned kung fu, Wu Gang instantly launched a fast attack, one against two, the first thing is to solve a person by surprise.

Bang!

With a one-armed swing, this knife touched the opponent's fist!

It's all wrapped in aura, and no one can hurt anyone.

Sneak attack failed,

What's worse is that Wu Gang felt several figures falling behind him, and in the face of despair, he fell into calm after the subconscious shock, "Are they all here?"

"Yes. A cold woman's voice sounded, "The battle of Luyang has begun!"

Rumble!

Two people attacked him at the same time, Wu Gang only had one arm, which could not withstand four hands, just a few simple moves, and several heavy punches fell on his chest!

The body fell like a fallen leaf and fell to the ground, and the steel knife in his hand detached with a 'clang'.

The opponent's strength is not weak, and the number is overwhelming.

Wu Gang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, tried to stand up against the tree, and said with a smile: "It seems that my last place is here." ”

"As a tomb, it's not bad, the good thing is quiet, the bad thing is that the flesh and bones will be taken by the animals of the forest. ”

Wu Gang was not frightened by these words, he bent down and picked up his knife,

Although he only has one hand, he can still swing a knife.

"I'm dead, it's worth it, that formation is the key to your plan, I destroyed one. ”

"I laughed when my life was gone. ”

Wu Gang was about to laugh, "The only pity is that I didn't expect you to come so quickly, and so many people came." ”

"Now that you know everything, tell me, that kid, where did you let him go?"

"Stupid question. Wu Gang laughed thoroughly,

Then he raised his eyebrows, shouted violently, and the aura on his body exploded, and he began a one-man charge against a group of enemies!

"Took his other arm. The female voice no longer continued to give him mercy.

Bang!

"Ahh

When blood splattered the ground, there was also a scream, and then the crows in the forest flew in panic.

......

......

Half an hour away, when Xiaosha was halfway there, he nested in a caverned pit and didn't move.

It's not moving.

There are insects that bite him and don't move, and snakes crawl over him, don't move, pee, poop and don't move.

In this state, he stayed for two full hours.

Because he sensed that the number of pursuers was increasing, and he did not know why there was a search in front of him before he arrived.

That is, he was trapped.

When he knew that he was in the enemy's range, Xiaosha made this decision, he wanted to lie down here all the time,

until they thought he had escaped.

It was getting dark soon, in fact, eating and urinating was not a problem, this was the forest, there would always be some animals running in front of him, and even a mouse ran to his mouth, and he swallowed it in one bite when he was hungry.

The main thing is that there is no water to drink, which makes him very thirsty.

Throughout the night, there was still a 'whooshing' sound in my ears, and there were constantly cultivators walking back and forth, searching carefully.

However, in the second half of the night, it seemed that the frequency began to decrease, and Xiaosha did not rush out, he waited for two more hours, and after confirming that the departed had indeed given up the search for him, he chose to lift the leaves on his body and run when the sky was dark!

He's always been good at that, and no one has noticed him.

Xiaosha ran back to Luyang Courtyard all the way!!

After staying here for many days, he also became familiar with where Chen Mingguang lived.

Bang Bang Bang!

"Brother Chen, wake up, Brother Chen!"

Bang Bang Bang!

The knock on the door was particularly hurried.

Chen Mingguang also woke up in his sleep, and when he heard that the voice was wrong, he lifted the quilt quite simply, and the whole person got up directly.

"Xiaosha, what's wrong?" Chen Mingguang quickly opened the door.

Xiao Sha's whole body pounced on him, and he couldn't stand up tiredly, "Brother Chen, behind the mountain behind Luyang Courtyard, there are people who have left the country!"

Chen Mingguang instantly got goosebumps, "What did you say?!"

Before saying this, he noticed that Xiao Sha's arms and neck were stained with some strange red insects, so he hurriedly used his aura to clean up all these things, "You went to the back of the mountain behind Luyang Courtyard, which mountain range, what are you going to do there?"

Xiao Sha took a few more breaths, and after gradually recovering, he went to the table and slammed a few glasses of water, he didn't answer the question first, but asked a question, "Is Brother Wu back?!"

yes, is Wu Gang back?

Wu Gang lived next door, and Chen Mingguang stepped in three or two steps, "Wu Gang?! Are you there?"

He has been delayed on the road for so long, if even he returns to Luyang Courtyard, and Wu Gang still hasn't returned, then the hidden meaning is self-evident!

"Xiao Sha, what the hell is going on?

Chen Mingguang died in a hurry, "What do you mean!

Xiao Sha couldn't help it, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and told everything he saw and heard over there, and finally concluded: "That's the thing, Brother Wu said that the people in the courtyard gate must not know that the people leaving the country will come up from this direction, and asked me to run back and report it quickly." ”

"And their sixteen-person circular formation is just as strange as the mountain peaks that will grow tall, it's definitely not a good thing!"

It's a big deal.

"From the mountains?" Chen Mingguang was a little blue-headed, if that was the case...... "No, you have to inform the hall master and the two envoys about this matter immediately, Xiaosha, can you still move?"

"Good!"

This night, Xiaosha didn't close his eyes.

This night, there was another person who couldn't close his eyes at all, Ye Xiaoniang.

For the first time, she broke up with the third princess.

The last words of the third princess have been lingering in her mind, she must save Gu Yi.

Maybe it's at night, when it's cloudy, her woman's psychology accounts for the majority again, enduring humiliation, seeking perfection, distress and intentionality, and they all start to get up.

The most important thing is that she thought that in fact, when she entered the palace and went to the emperor's side at this time, there should be nothing.

He's sick like that, what can he do?

It's nothing more than finding someone to accompany him, or making something delicious to fill his stomach.

Could it be that he really wanted to do some kind of Zhou Gong ceremony, the emperor's body even struggled to sit up.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is nothing, just to stay in a different place, cook for a fixed person, and you can also spend a lot of time in the kitchen in order to develop better dishes for Your Majesty.

This leaves at least a possibility that Gu Yi can be saved in the future.

But if she refuses, she will probably die, and what is the result of provoking His Majesty the current emperor, anyone who knows a little about the emperor will know.

She's been dead for a hundred years, so what about Gu Yi?

Ye Xiaoniang thought that maybe Gu Yi was waiting for him to save him at this time!

After the sky was bright, Ye Xiaoniang took the initiative to go to the Third Princess's Mansion, and today was the time of the last dynasty, so the ministers got up very early.

The third princess too.

Outside the gate of the Third Princess's Mansion, Ye Xiaoniang entered her sedan chair.

The third princess was surprised by her arrival, "Little lady, ...... you?"

Ye Xiaoniang also seemed to have made a decision, she said this sentence very painfully, "Third princess, you just tell Your Majesty that Xiaoniang is willing." ”
