Shangguan Yun walked back from the door, and stopped when he was about fifteen steps away from the handsome position, he could feel the vigilance of the other party, and knew that this was the boundary, "Zihe Zhenren has snatched back the imperial seal, and he wants to return it with his own hands."

"It's worthy of an old fairy, and the reaction is really fast. The Emperor sat upright, his expression calm, without the slightest sign of alarm, as if the person standing beside him was just an ordinary guard.

"Ask him to come in, alone. Gu Shenwei said that at the moment, he was the only person in this tent who could make a decision.

Zihe Zhenren walked into the tent, glanced at it, and a wry smile appeared on his face, "I thought I knew the most, but it turned out that I knew the least, this place is empty, can you still give me a place?"

"Of course. The emperor said kindly, "A real person is a living immortal in the world, and I need such a person, as for the past, ......."

"What did it do in the past? The important thing is now. The real person interrupted the emperor's words, which seemed a little unpolite, but it avoided embarrassment, "The important thing is that the Kongtong party is still loyal to the imperial court. ”

Zihe Zhenren and Shangguan Yun stood side by side, without the courtesy of a courtier, nor did they call His Majesty, holding the ribbon in both hands, "After returning to Zhao, the leader of the Ten Directions Sect was hit by me, and he couldn't run far." ”

"Real people are amazing. The emperor said.

"I have to thank King Xiao for his help, the arrow he ordered to shoot was just right, all aimed at Ci Zhisheng, and passed by me, this is called a miracle skill. ”

These words can be taken as a joke, or as a ridicule and accusation, and the emperor laughed a few times and chose the former.

Zihe Zhenren and Shangguan Yun also laughed together, and then the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, the two couldn't walk over, the emperor couldn't get up, and no one accepted the imperial seal.

After being quiet for a while, the other three were waiting for Gu Shenwei to speak, and found that he refused to speak, so the emperor had no choice but to say, "King Yun, show the old immortal." ”

"Yes. Shangguan Yun brought a chair, Zihe Zhenren sat down unceremoniously, put the ribbon on his lap, and sighed: "Old, it's useless, I feel my hands and feet are numb after a fight, alas." This Cloud King is from the Western Regions, right?"

"Shangguan Yun, the king of Xiaowan Kingdom. ”

"Oh. Zihe Zhenren nodded, "I have heard your name for a long time, I heard your name when you traveled to the Central Plains in the early years, but unfortunately, you prefer to walk in the south and associate with the Qingcheng faction, and you have no acquaintances in my Kongtong faction, right?"

"I have admired the old crane fairy for a long time, and it was a pity that I didn't get to see him back then, which was a big regret in the trip to the Central Plains. ”

"Hehe, no wonder, I'm too old to be in the temper of a young man. ”

The two greeted each other politely, as if the emperor and Gu Shenwei on the other side did not exist.

After a while, Zihe Zhenren finally turned to Gu Shenwei and looked at him with curiosity, as if they were meeting for the first time, "Does our joint action still count?"

"Count. Gu Shenwei said that he had just saved the emperor's life, and if he hadn't appeared in time, Ci Zisheng would probably have killed the unknown young man.

"Shhhh Let's talk openly and honestly. ”

"Good. ”

The atmosphere was once again awkward, there were so many things to talk about, and no one knew where to start.

Shangguan Yun spoke first, "Let's talk about this Ten Directions Sect first, who invited them?"

Zihe Zhenren was the first to shake his head, "Obviously it's not me, it is said that it is the Xiao Yan clan, who came specifically to kill Gu Shenwei, but Ke Ci is the most victorious and seems to be more interested in the imperial seal, so the Xiao Yan clan is just a pretense." ”

"The Ten Directions Sect is a cult and a thief, and it's impossible for me to ask them for help. The Emperor said that he had only escaped death at the hands of Ci Zhisheng, and that he still had a contemptuous attitude towards the Ten Directions Sect.

Shangguan Yun's gaze fell on Gu Shenwei.

Gu Shenwei refused to speak, and Shangguan Yun had no choice but to say: "It won't be me, before I came to the Central Plains, I hadn't even heard of the name of the Ten Directions Sect." ”

Gu Shenwei didn't seem to be very satisfied, Shangguan Yun smiled and continued: "Let's make a long story short, King Xiao sent a messenger to find me, Xiao Wanguo is weak and needs assistance, I think the conditions he offered are really impossible to refuse, so I summoned the Jinpeng killer for him, and later pulled Zhong Heng, because he can remind everyone of the Dragon King more than me, that's it." ”

"Pang Ning. Gu Shenwei said, answering Shangguan Yun's previous question, "It was the general Pang Ning who bought the Shifang Sect, and he learned from some channels that something big was going to happen in the capital, and his army had no excuse to be mobilized, so he let Ci win the front. ”

The emperor lowered his head slightly, his face gloomy, "It must be the Queen Mother, she asked her uncle for help...... No wonder Ci Zhisheng will chase after the Yulin Army to snatch the imperial seal. ”

"The Queen Mother voluntarily returned the imperial seal to Her Majesty, how could she let Ci Zisheng snatch it again?" Zihe Zhenren still wanted to maintain the image of the Queen Mother, and after thinking for a while, he continued: "The general Pang Ning installed a small number of annihilators next to the Queen Mother, so Ci Zisheng only knew that there was an imperial seal, but he didn't know that there was His Majesty. ”

The Emperor nodded reluctantly, admitting that the real person's speculation was more reasonable.

This is a good start, the four of them analyzed the same problem together, and Zihe Zhenren even said the word "Your Majesty", and the atmosphere was greatly relaxed.

"What is Your Majesty going to do next, can you reveal a little bit about it?" asked the real person.

Shangguan Yun got the hint, and he replied, "Actually, everything is simple, King Xiao is gathering the Yulin army, and His Majesty will appear later, personally lead the army into the town to settle **, clear the rebel party, and then ......"

"Wait, who is this rebellion?"

"The people of the rivers and lakes who listen to slander, of course, sects like Kongtong faction and Longhushan who stay out of the matter will not be implicated, as well as the queen mother and princess, the Jinpeng killer they bought, and the minister who does not repent. ”

"I can guarantee that the Queen Mother will never buy the Jinpeng killer. ”

Shangguan Yun had already admitted that the killers were gathered by him, and Zihe Zhenren's "guarantee" meant something else, that is, Shangguan Yun couldn't decide, so he looked at the emperor.

The emperor's good mood was ruined by Gu Shenwei beside him, especially the narrow knife, no matter how calm he was on the surface, he was still a little afraid in his heart, so he hoped to be able to cut through the chaos quickly, "The guarantee of the real person can be realized, and the only person who bribed the killer to assassinate the prince of Xiao Wang is the princess." ”

The real person's smile became more sincere, "And Gu Shenwei, does the killer still have anything to do with him?"

The emperor no longer pretended to talk about others, and said himself: "The princess has a grudge against the Gu family, and she framed Gu Shenwei, and the killer has nothing to do with him." ”

"There are also Lin Xiaoshan and Chen Jinke. For the first time, Gu Shenwei raised his concerns.

"They were wronged, too. The emperor's tone was becoming cold, since the other party was willing to put forward conditions, it was a sign of relaxation, and suddenly he understood that Zihe Zhenren actually sincerely wanted to help him get out of the predicament.

The old guy is a little useful, no wonder the Queen Mother trusts him so much, the emperor secretly thought, his impression of Zihe Zhenren is a little better.

"Actually, I'm wondering, the whole plan doesn't need the Dragon King at all, it can be done without him, why involve him?" Zihe Zhenren asked, as if he was aggrieved for Gu Shenwei.

"It was my idea. Shangguan Yun took the responsibility, and the smile on his face was frank, making his words more credible, "Originally, my plan was to use killers to directly get rid of the Queen Mother and the princess and others, but King Xiao reminded me that the Central Plains governs the country with filial piety, and assassination is shameful in the world, so I said, it's not okay to assassinate others, it's always okay to assassinate yourself." However, the assassination had a reason, the Dragon King was just right, he was from the Western Regions, and it would make the various factions in the court suspicious of each other. ”

Shangguan Yun didn't lie completely, it was he who proposed the framework of the plan, King Xiao didn't take it seriously, but the emperor was moved when he heard about it, especially the idea of "assassinating himself", which was unexpected and logical, and it was in line with his temper.

The emperor's "death" has many benefits, the most important thing is to let the emperor get out of the control of the queen mother, the emperor is getting older, but in the eyes of his mother, he is getting younger and smaller, and he needs her supervision more and more.

Another advantage is that it can ignite the struggle of the other faction, so that the emperor can benefit from it.

"The kings of Shandong and King Xiao are friendly, as long as His Majesty can come in person, the kings can immediately build a righteous army, counterattack the capital, and ask Pang Ning for the crime, the first step is very smooth, but the queen mother is not easy to deceive, she immediately sent a blockade to Shandong. Shangguan Yun continued to explain.

The emperor was trapped in the cane bureau, decided to take a risk, and used the heroes of the rivers and lakes to set off a big chaos, the effect was better than he expected, the queen mother and the princess The power foundation is not as deep as imagined, the ministers waited and watched, so that the emperor's situation was greatly improved, and finally the queen mother actually sent the imperial seal in person.

At that time, the emperor had already transferred out of the staff bureau, and immediately met with his mother after receiving the news, and accepted the imperial seal, but did not fully forgive her for her past arbitrary control.

Shangguan Yun wanted to attract the hatred of the Dragon King, but obviously failed, Gu Shenwei had no hatred for this at all, he had now figured out almost all the facts, except for the truth of the Gu family's annihilation.

The emperor was closest to him, and felt the estrangement and vigilance, so he said: "Actually, I have always wanted to meet the Dragon King, and I want to know what kind of person he is, and he did not disappoint me. ”

Gu Shenwei didn't know how to express his thoughts, so he pulled out the narrow knife and placed the scabbard on the case.

There was silence in the tent, as if a cough would break the thin layer of window paper, making it irretrievable.

"You're not interested in any of this?" Only Zihe's real smile remained unflawed.

"Not interested. Gu Shenwei said, pointing to the top of the tent, "There are two Lao, help me clean it up, and then we can continue to talk about what interests me." ”

Zihe Zhenren and Shangguan Yun glanced at each other, and then rose from the ground at the same time like a competition, jumping out of the hole that Ci Zhisheng had broken through, shouting two or three times, and making four or five fists, and it was quiet.

"Do you still want revenge?" asked the Emperor.

"I want to know the truth. Gu Shenwei knew that this was something more difficult than revenge, but he had already completed more than half of the way, and he only wanted to finish the last few steps.

"You know, you don't have the surname Gu at all, and you are not the son of your father, the rumors are ridiculous, in fact, as long as you see your appearance, you can know the truth. ”

Before asking the reason, Gu Shenwei felt a sense of unprecedented relief.

The Emperor was keenly aware of this, and the weight in his heart finally dissipated.

"But I still want to kill you. ”

"Kill me, you have no revenge, but you will lose everything, especially those you care about, you will be affected, this is not an assassination that no one knows about, this is a public murder. The emperor became more calm, he thought, if he could negotiate on this, the situation would not get worse, this Gu Shenwei, like a reasonable person. (To be continued.) )
