August 15.

Mid-Autumn Festival.

The day of the decisive battle.

Gu Yuean got up at four o'clock in the morning, he rarely got up early in the morning, took a bath, changed into incense-smoked clothes, and then had a rare breakfast with Gu Changan and them, of course, in principle, he definitely couldn't eat meat, that is, he drank two bowls of thick porridge, and he didn't even eat his favorite preserved eggs.

After sending Li Xiaoran to change into the new clothes to be worn in the palace today, Gu Yuean finally spoke: "Although I think I will definitely win tonight, everything is ......."

"Don't talk about it. Gu Changan interrupted him, poured him a cup of tea and said, "You will definitely win." ”

Wang Lin also looked at him silently, and there was nothing in his eyes except for strong trust.

They all believed that Gu Yue'an would definitely win, and they didn't doubt it at all.

Just because, after going through so many things, Gu Yue'an has become synonymous with a miracle.

And Gu Yuean also knew why Gu Changan interrupted him, not only because he believed in him, but also because he wanted to make himself believe in himself.

Before the decisive battle, the most taboo thing is to doubt yourself.

If a person starts to doubt himself, then he is the beginning of losing.

Don't have a back road, and don't worry too much, otherwise the knife will be slow.

Gu Yuean had actually understood this a long time ago, but more and more burdens were put on him, making him indeed a little less free and easy than he was at the beginning.

In particular, he now has a concern in his heart, and the deepest concern is in the palace, and that concern makes him can only win this battle and not lose it.

He suddenly remembered a person, the Ximen Sword God, and his current situation was very similar to this Sword God.

Is a person's sword better to be affectionate or ruthless?

Gu Yue'an couldn't figure it out, he thought about it in the courtyard for a day, and sat opposite Ximen Sword God for a day.

They were relatively speechless.

This sword god, the choice of the sword back then was to slash the love silk, and he was ruthless and invincible from then on.

Although he did not speak, the answer he gave was not difficult to guess.

In the evening, Gu Yue'an suddenly stood up and laughed, of course he couldn't choose to cut the love silk.

Because love has always been his source of strength.

Anger or sorrow, love or hate.

These feelings, emotions, emotions, were wrapped around his knife piece by piece, making his knife heavier and heavier, but it was not more and more sharp.

This is also something he has already figured out, but things have become more and more serious, and it is inevitable that he will have doubts.

Sitting on the opposite side for a day, Gu Yuean had already collected his emotions, he could feel that his knife was very heavy, but there was not too much resistance, he had figured it out, what he had to do was to fight hard to win today's game.

"Thank you, seniors. Gu Yue'an saluted towards the Ximen Sword God.

"No, it's your own understanding. The Ximen Sword God shook his head, and then slowly disappeared into the air.

The night is coming, and the full moon is coming.

Just tonight, at the top of the Forbidden City, the legend was staged.

Gu Yue'an stepped out of the door, and walked towards the palace with Gu Changan and his party, who had already been prepared.

Because he is the person in charge of the selection of characters in and out of the palace, he naturally has some privileges, such as taking Gu Changan, Li Xiaoran, and Wang Lin in together.

As for Xu Che and them, because they are going to perform tonight, they don't need him to bother arranging it, naturally there are people in the palace who are ready for everything.

Walking through the long street that was gradually lit up, listening to all kinds of lively noises around her, Gu Yuean actually had an unreal feeling.

He'd fought too many duels and met too many strong opponents, but no matter that time, it was much worse than this one.

Think about it, on the night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden City, these eight words alone are enough to make people's blood boil.

That's the dream of many teenagers.

Now, Gu Yue'an is going to go in person and become a member of this story.

The whole city was talking about his name, and everyone was rejoicing and mourning about his victory.

It's just the plot of the story.

But Gu Yue'an thought about it, what is not the plot of the story along the way?

He has indeed become a legend, but at this moment, suddenly reality and the past coincided, and he had a sense of unreality, in fact, he was no longer the young man he was at the beginning.

Now he is Gu Yue'an, the owner of the ancient mansion, the legend of the rivers and lakes, and the great hero of the world.

I'm going to win.

Finally came to the gate of the palace, the palace is extremely guarded tonight, after all, the number of people entering and leaving the palace tonight is unprecedented, and you have to be careful and careful.

Looking at those who had been authorized by themselves and entered the imperial city one after another with his special invitations, Gu Yuean didn't have to queue up, and directly took people to overtake, anyway, he was in charge, so he didn't have to care so much.

The other martial arts people who were still queuing up originally thought that who was so bold that they dared to cut in line, and when they saw that it was him, they had nothing to say, and some people even greeted Gu Yue'an, wishing him a great victory.

Gu Yuean also politely greeted them, and then took Gu Changan and them in.

As soon as she entered the palace, Gu Yue'an was about to be separated from them.

Because his competition with Cui Li was on the roof of the Taihe Palace, which was the peak of the Forbidden City, and the emperor's night banquet minister was in the Hanyu Palace, the two places were different, and when the time came to the top of the decisive battle, although the emperor and they couldn't see it, naturally Bai Xiaosheng's people were responsible for conveying the latest battle situation.

Gu Yuean and Gu Changan broke up, and before parting, they said to Li Xiaoran half-frightened: "Xiao Ran is good, if you get lost, we won't come to you, when the time comes, you will be arrested as a little palace maid and tortured by the old lady all day long, don't cry." ”

Li Xiaoran was a big ghost, and he was not afraid of Gu Yue'an's fright, but instead made a grimace at him, but in the end, when he was about to lose sight, he still turned around and said to him silently: "Brother, come on." ”

Gu Yuean instantly felt that her strength was a little stronger again.

followed an inner eunuch to the Taihe Palace, but he didn't lead Gu Yue'an in, after all, this is also the place of the emperor's ceremony, and ordinary people can't enter, the inner eunuch just led Gu Yue'an to walk a few more steps, and went to a small hall on the side, so that Gu Yue'an could enter.

"Gu Daxia, this is the Yuehua Palace, where the ministers wait for the court on weekdays, before the decisive battle, please ask Gu Daxia to wait here first, if there is any need, but please command, the slave will naturally help Gu Daxia to do it. The inner supervisor made a gesture of please.

Gu Yue'an nodded, and saw that there was also a side hall in the opposite direction that was lit up with fire at the moment, which was about where Cui Li was waiting.

When I entered the hall, because it was where the ministers were waiting for the court, all the affairs were complete.

Gu Yuean found a chair and sat down, and didn't touch the tea prepared on the table, just closed her eyes to recuperate.

After a while, suddenly the door of the temple was opened, Gu Yuean opened her eyes and looked at the door, but the person who walked in was not the inner prisoner, but an old acquaintance.

"Why is Brother Shen here?" Gu Yuean smiled at the man.

The person who came was none other than Shen Yi, the richest man in the world, here and now, it may be difficult to change to someone else, but what kind of person Shen Yi is, even if he is in the palace, he can come and go freely.

"Come and give the ancient brother a strong reputation, and send a pot of wine by the way. Shen Yi walked in as he spoke, and an inner supervisor behind him took a tray in without raising his head, put it on the table, and withdrew without raising his head.

"Come, Brother Gu, I salute you, I wish Brother Gu a great victory tonight!" Shen Yi poured two glasses of wine and gave one to Gu Yue'an.

Gu Yuean took it and hesitated, but still drank with Shen Yi.

When he finished drinking, he realized that it was not wine, but extremely light chrysanthemum tea.

"Ha, I know that the ancient brother has been fasting for a few days, and naturally it is not good to break the rules of the ancient brother, so I prepare chrysanthemum tea, and replace the wine with tea, which is a little thin. Shen Yi chuckled and said, this noble son among businessmen is always thoughtful in this way.

"Thank you, Brother Shen. Gu Yuean also smiled.

"Actually, in addition to coming to give Brother Gu a strong reputation, I still came to say goodbye to Brother Gu. Shen Yi said again.

"Oh, what's the explanation?" Gu Yue'an didn't understand, where was Shen Yi going when he was so solemn?

"I want to retreat. Shen Yi sighed with a smile, "The world is prosperous, and I am like floating clouds, I want to go back, and although I have not met much with my ancient brother, I have a deep relationship, and I am like old at first sight, and now I want to go back, and I will say goodbye from now on." ”

"Brother Shen......" Gu Yuean said a word, and then stopped talking.

Because he understands that people like him and Shen Yi who have reached an extremely high level in a certain field, their thinking and ideas are no longer influenced by anyone, and they must have their reasons for doing anything.

Shen Yi may be tired of making money, tired of being rich and rivaling the country, and making money can no longer make him have any interest, so he is leaving.

Maybe one day, when Gu Yuean is also tired of the rivers and lakes, tired of force, he will also leave.

"Then I wish Brother Shen a smooth journey. Gu Yue'an put down the wine glass and said.

"Thank you, in the future, it may be gone. Shen Yi also put down the wine glass, then turned around and left with a smile.

There is no mud and water.

This is Shen Yi, who comes casually and goes freely.

Waiting for Shen Yi to leave, Gu Yue'an thought about it, couldn't figure it out, and didn't want to think about it, looking at the wine tray on the table, he looked at it for a while, and suddenly found that something was wrong, stretched out his hand to pick up the wine tray and groped for it, but found that there was a note attached to the bottom of the wine tray.

The note read: Tonight, the side wall of the palace, in the osmanthus forest, is not seen or dispersed.

The handwriting is handsome, the pen is tactful, and there is no payment, Gu Yuean knows who it is.

This girl, still say you don't want me?

Gu Yuean snickered, put the note in the palm of her hand and rubbed it for a while, and then carefully put it on her chest and hid it close to her body.

Feeling the existence of the paper on his chest, Gu Yue'an seemed to feel that there was one heat after another surging towards his whole body, stimulating the strength of his whole body, and he knew that it was missing.

In an instant, he felt that his confidence and strength had reached its peak.
