When King Xian rushed back to the palace to get the token, Gu Xiang did not pause, and rode straight towards the palace in a sedan chair, he did not bring the guards, because the inner courtyard of the palace could only walk alone, and the guards were not allowed to enter, so it didn't matter if he brought the guards or not. But if you are as cautious as you are, you will certainly not expose yourself to danger
Gu Xiang walked in the palace, and the palace guards standing around him saw Gu Xiang coming slowly, and they all saluted him, but Gu Xiang nodded his head lightly, and walked alone with his eyebrows lowered, without squinting. Although he had just experienced the pain of losing his grandson, he was still in good spirits, walking slowly on the white jade ladder with a cane.
The old man raised his head, stared at the majestic palace in front of him, sighed slightly, and said in a very low voice: "Your young master has reached today's achievements, are you gratified, and the old man and your young master in Jiangnan have not achieved the desired results, do you also feel a little disappointed?"
The palace guards around saw the head of the hundred officials with their lips moving, as if they were saying something, but the old man had not seen anyone before, this strange phenomenon made the guards around him a little surprised, but Gu Xiang was in a high position, these guards could only think silently, but they didn't dare to speak.
After the old man asked those words in front of him, after a while, a pure voice really sounded in his ears: "The young master is indeed a genius, and it only took a few months to achieve such an achievement that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. Gu Xiang failed to reach the due cooperation results with the young master, which really disappointed us a little, but the order of the old master cannot be violated, and we will continue to protect Gu Xiang It is Gu Xiang, the little boy died young, you still have to work for the state, I'm afraid this body is ......"
Gu Xiang chuckled, shook his head lightly, and sighed: "Sheng'er is dead, how can the old man not be sad, but when the national disaster is at hand, as the head of a hundred officials, how can I have time to grieve? Sheng'er has always been smart, but it was my teaching that led to his death, but the reason for this is probably the shadow of the Holy Gate, otherwise how could he suddenly run to Jiangnan, or when the old man was in Jiangnan." Hehe...... That Holy Gate military master is really calculating, if I am depressed by Sheng'er's death, and then anger the Ye family, I am afraid that I will fall into the arms of the Holy Gate."
"Gu Xiang's eyes are like torches, and his subordinates are amazed, it's just that the Holy Gate is treacherous, and the Holy Lord is even more unfathomable, Gu Xiang needs to be more careful to compete with it" The solemn voice of the middle-aged man echoed in Gu Xiang's ears.
Gu Xiang bowed his head helplessly, and then admonished: "Mo Xie, when King Xian hands over the token, the control of this north gate will be handed over to you, and you will take more than a dozen of you into the north gate to guard the army, and you will be entrusted with important tasks in the future battle for the capital."
"Yes" Mo Xie replied in a deep voice, but after a while, he said suspiciously: "If I am not by Gu Xiang's side, then Gu Xiang's safety ......"
Mo Xie said this, but was interrupted by Gu Xiang: "Hehe, don't you believe the old man, even if you leave you, the person in this world who can take the old man's life has not yet appeared, the saint can't do it, and the virtuous king can't do it, don't worry" After that, Gu Xiang had already entered the main hall, but the saint had already sat on the dragon chair in the main hall, this situation made Gu Xiang frown a little, usually speaking, the saint came here only when the early dynasty and the court meeting, and the separate meeting should be in the study, but today the saint has set the location here.
Gu Xiang held back the doubts in his heart, knelt down, and shouted long live, and Zhao Qi, who was above the high position, seemed to be in a good mood, and after telling Gu Xiang to get up, he chuckled from time to time, such a strange situation made Gu Xiang's heart slightly cold. After a while, Gu Xiangshi couldn't bear it anymore and said suspiciously: "Holy Lord, I don't know what to be happy about."
Zhao Qi smiled silently, just took out a note from the dragon robe, ordered the bus on the side to give it to Gu Xiang, and then he said majestically: "Temporarily retreat left and right, there is nothing to do here" The graceful palace maids and respectful eunuchs around all bowed, bowed out of the palace gate, and closed the palace door by the way. Gu Xiang looked at the note, and saw that it was full of names, because Gu Xiang was familiar with the affairs of this palace, and naturally knew that there were all masters on this list, so he frowned and said suspiciously: "Holy Lord, this ......"
Zhao Qi didn't answer, but asked, "It's time for the lonely imperial brother to come in a while, right?" Gu Xiang bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, as long as King Xian hands over the North Gate Token, then we will also control the two gates of the capital, and we will have some confidence in the real war in the future." ”
"Okay" Zhao Qi said happily, but after a moment, his face gradually became gloomy, and he said softly, "Gu Xiang, find out the people on the list, and then make them ambush on both sides of this hall in a team."
"This ......" Gu Xiang listened, his heart sank slightly, and after a while, he reacted and exclaimed, "The saint can't, the skill of the virtuous king is unfathomable, if there is a fierce battle here, I am afraid that the saint will also be in danger, please think twice" "That ......" Zhao Qi listened, his eyes condensed, and his face showed fear, obviously he was also a little hesitant in his heart, which made Gu Xiang breathe a sigh of relief, but in a moment, the saint's face changed, as if he had been stimulated by some kind of stimulation, that is, he shouted, "Don't say it, the lonely mind has been decided, please Gu Xiang prepare quickly."
Gu Xiang still wanted to persuade, but when he saw the sharp eyes of the saint, he sighed lightly, bowed down and said, "It's the subordinate who understands."
At the same time, King Xian left the palace and walked straight towards the palace, because his palanquin men were all disciples of the Holy Gate, so his speed was extremely fast. Although King Xian also understood that handing over the token was a strategy for the sea and the sky after asking about the heavenly opportunity, Rao was like this, and he was still resentful in his heart, after all, this was the first time he had been forced to be so sloppy. Along the way, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, and he stared at the token in his hand with low eyebrows, silent.
In the middle of the night, the sedan chair arrived at the palace gate, at this time, King Xian had to walk alone, so he got off the sedan chair and slowly walked into the palace gate. Although King Xian has walked back and forth in this palace dozens of times, he still has a lot of thoughts every time he comes, looking at the white jade pillars and glazed tiles, his eyes are full of longing. The eunuch who led the way in front of him was a little puzzled when he saw King Xian looking around, but he didn't dare to speak, so he could only wait quietly for this powerful prince to come back to his senses. But after a while, King Xian slowly came back to his senses, smiled lightly at the waiting eunuch, and then sighed to himself: "In a short time, I will be able to reach my goal for many years, hehe, I don't know what you should do then, Ye Feng?"
