Xijing Chronicle

Chapter 36 Confrontation (3)

There was silence in the room, Gu Huaisheng retreated quietly, leaving Jin Xuenian alone to think about it.

I don't know how long it took before the door was opened again. Gu Huaisheng stood under the verandah, turned his head with his hands behind his back, and saw Jin Xuenian standing quietly by the door. It was a decision.

"There is blood relationship, but no friendship," Jin Xuenian said slowly, "Family relatives don't mean much to me, and I don't need to deliberately meet them, it's better to follow the fate. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"You said he was a member of Xinglonghui. You all want Jiangshan, but there is only one Jiangshan. He is destined to be the one you want to eradicate. Can you promise me that if you assist the virtuous king to succeed in ascending the throne in the future, you will not be able to deal with Xinglonghui. At that time, save his life..."

When he said the last sentence, he still acted cold and indifferent, but when he said such words in a blink of an eye, Gu Huaisheng's heart softened, knowing that this person is used to arming himself, and he can only listen to three points of his words, and he has to do everything else by himself Guess.

The eyes of the person in front of him are heavy, hiding subtle sadness and loneliness... He doesn't care about blood relatives, he is afraid, afraid that what he looks forward to in return will be ridiculed, and he is afraid that he will finally muster up the courage to hand out a heart It was ruined and bloody again, so just don't expect it, don't get close, and you won't get hurt.

"Okay, I promise you," Gu Huaisheng sighed, and glanced at the corner not far away calmly, "As long as he sees a good relationship in the future, he will accept it and don't do anything that hurts nature and reason, I will not hurt him."

"Thank you," Jin Xuenian looked at him for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "The staff around you have been transferred, I don't know if there is anything I can do for you..."

"Speaking of it, there is indeed one thing," Gu Huaisheng wrapped his arms around his shoulders and led him into the room before he spoke, "I don't know if Wuyan told you that Quan Chengen is dead."

Jin Xuenian nodded, Gu Huaisheng smiled, took his hand and pulled him to sit down very naturally, and continued: "Quan Chengen died strangely, he must have been murdered, and these days he is surrounded by He Ze's people Needless to say, it must be He Ze who did it. Ever since Quan Chengen was forced to return to his hometown, He Ze made excuses to replace all the people around him with his own. So he never dared to act rashly, and now he dares to kill Quan Chengen, there is only one possibility, that is, his people have already obtained the will."

"After I heard the news, I sent Ye Jia'er to intercept He Ze's people on the way back to the city, trying to snatch the will before they returned to Xijing."

Jin Xuenian glanced at him.

It's no wonder that Gu Huaisheng has been calm and unhurried. It turned out that the idea of ​​praying mantises catching cicadas and orioles following behind was indeed Gu Huaisheng's style.

"It's a pity, you know the ending. Ye Jia'er hasn't come back until today. I'm afraid something happened. I sent many people out to search and rescue, but there has been no news." Gu Huaisheng sighed deeply, "Account the days , He Ze's people will be able to go to Xijing tonight, if they successfully enter the capital and hand over the will to He Ze, then things will be difficult. So I plan to go and find out in person tonight."

"If there's anything I can do, just say it."

"There are three gates in the south, east, and west to enter the city. General Chen is stationed at the west gate. I will split up with you tonight. You go to the south gate and I go to the east gate. If you find He Ze's men , let out the signal light to inform me immediately, don't act rashly, understand?"

Jin Xuenian looked at the few words Gu Huaisheng wrote on the table dipped in tea, frowned slightly, and nodded solemnly.

After nightfall, Jin Xuenian led a dozen people to ambush outside the south city gate. Half of these people were the guards of King Xian's mansion, and the other half were former Ye Jiaer's subordinates, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts.

There is silence all around, only the sound of the wind and the hum of cicadas.

The South City Gate is the widest and flatst city gate among the three city gates, with a wide view and a clear view. If you really want to avoid people returning to the city, this is the least likely way to choose.But even so, Jin Xuenian did not take it lightly, guarding in the bushes beside the only way, like a cheetah lurking in the dark night, quietly waiting for the prey to take the bait.

Speaking of both ends, the same is true for Gu Huaisheng's side, leading a dozen people to quietly ambush on both sides of the road outside the East City Gate.

Just like this, when I passed the ugly, suddenly there was a group of people galloping at the end of the road outside the East City Gate. They were all wearing bamboo hats and wrapped in black clothes, as if they could melt into the night. Must be noticed in time.

Waiting for them to get close, Gu Huaisheng drew Xiao Zhongjian, used his internal strength, and drew a sword aura in front of the horse's hoof.The horse pouted in fright, and the man in black sitting on it immediately jumped off the horse, just in time to be surrounded by people rushing out behind Gu Huaisheng, and a fierce battle broke out without warning.

Gu Huaisheng and his party were very skilled, but the group of men in black were not easy to deal with. Among them, the martial arts of the leader was on par with Gu Huaisheng, and the two sides fought inextricably.

I don't know how long it took, but the fighters gradually showed signs of fatigue. Gu Huaisheng made the best move, caught a loophole of the black-clothed leader, and slashed his shoulder with his sword. Grasping the blade of his sword, a dagger slipped out of the sleeve of the other hand, and stabbed Gu Huaisheng's abdomen with his backhand.

Both loses!

"Son!"

"Boss!"

Seeing that the leader was injured, the people on both sides gradually separated from each other on guard, and surrounded the leader respectively. Gu Huaisheng held the wound on his abdomen, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. go.

The subordinates led by Gu Huaisheng were in a hurry: "Young master, this subordinate will send you back to heal your wounds!"

Gu Huaisheng coughed twice and choked out another mouthful of blood. Before he could give an order, someone behind him clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Young Master Gu, and this big brother of the Forbidden Army, where do you two want to go?"

Before the words were finished, a group of masked men emerged from the grass, treetops, and dirt pits in all directions. There were a total of twenty people, and they surrounded the entire road. In the middle of it, it seems that none of them can get away.

"The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind," said the leading masked man, who was tall and tall, and his voice sounded like a young man in his twenties, "Mr. Gu wants to be an oriole, but have you ever thought about it? What about later?"

Gu Huaisheng wiped away the blood from the corners of his lips, and his dark and quiet eyes were filled with the darkest color in the world. He just stared at the masked man in front of him for a long time, and asked slowly, "What's your name?"

The person in front of him didn't have the remorse and hatred as imagined, nor was he furious, and he didn't panic, which made the masked man feel underestimated.He sneered: "I'll let you be a sensible ghost, Mr. Gu, remember, my name is Ji Tong, and when you go to the underworld, don't forget to seek revenge from me."

Gu Huaisheng patted his subordinate's arm under his arm, and slowly stood up, and the two parties who were still in a mess just now stood together, and even the black-clothed leader wearing a bamboo hat let go Putting his hands on his shoulders, he stood silently behind Gu Huaisheng.

Gu Huaisheng said leisurely: "Ji Tong, Xinglong will protect the law left, this young master has caught a really big fish."

Ji Tong was startled by what happened in front of him, and it took him a long time to shout out in disbelief: "You, you! Are you in the same group?!"

There was a coquettish smile from under the black-clothed leader's bamboo hat. For some wicked reason, she lifted the hat on her face, revealing a charming face like spring dew: "Are you satisfied with this meeting ceremony?"

"Ye Jiaer?? You didn't die?!" Ji Tong's eyes widened belatedly, "Since you didn't die, the will must have been in your hands long ago? We didn't get any news, Gu Huaisheng! ! You are so insidious and cunning!!"

Gu Huaisheng clapped his hands twice, and in the dark night, a group of people came out and surrounded Ji Tong and his group. The situation was turned upside down, and now they were shackles.

"Didn't Guardian Ji get to know me well?" Gu Huaisheng smiled at him tenderly, "What's the point of such a small scheme?"

According to Huaisheng's instructions, Jin Xuenian lay in ambush in the darkness without moving, and an unknown amount of time passed. There was no movement on the main road, and suddenly a cloud of fireworks shot up in the sky east of the city.

It's a semaphore.

Jin Xuenian held her breath, only to hear a "rustling" sound from the jungle behind her, a total of ten masked men came out from various places, and rushed towards the east of the city together.

It's really not bad at all with Gu Huaisheng's calculation.

Jin Xuenian clenched the spear/spear in his hand, stood up abruptly, and shouted loudly: "Stop them!"

At dawn, a fish-belly white gradually appeared on the edge of the sky, and a fierce battle came to an end.

Gu Huaisheng watched his subordinates tie up Ji Tong, and smiled in a good mood: "Is Guardian Ji still wondering why the group of people from the south of the city haven't been able to come to rescue?"

When he said this, Ji Tong still didn't understand what happened, so angry that his internal injuries were affected, and he spat out a mouthful of blood: "You!"

He spat out blood, and suddenly laughed sinisterly: "These people must be most of your power, right? There are only five or six of your people in the south, and the rest are royal guards. Their martial arts are not high, so you don't have to be afraid." Is your good friend folded in our hands?"

"No," Gu Huaisheng looked at him meaningfully without being disturbed by his words, and said, "You don't need to provoke me, there will be people in Xinglong who don't want to kill him, and that's why I sent him to the south of the city. He Ze doesn't have any subordinates at all, I sent him there just to disperse your manpower."

"..." Ji Tong collapsed with gray eyes, and didn't say a word.

The sun was twilight, slowly rising from the horizon, the man was standing there holding a long flute, his silhouette was shining under the reflection, Yuan Tingyue stood tall, towering like a mountain, as if nothing would knock him down.

For the first time, Ji Tong has doubts about his long-standing belief. Can they really defeat this person and successfully restore the former dynasty?

The author has something to say:

Suddenly found that Xiao Gu and Xiao Jin are really a match made in heaven!

Gu Huaisheng: I know everything but I just don’t say it

Jin Xuenian: I want to know everything but I just don’t say anything

Ah Shu: ...you just have to be happy
