The night pearl in the dungeon is eternal. Even after being baptized by the underground river, it still emits soft white light, bringing a little cold light to the dark and deep underground dungeon.

Li Yan walked in this water prison like holding a sword, and there was a wave of light in front of him. As he walked, the ripples suddenly spread out and gathered, and even his reflection on the water was shattered into thousands of pieces.

Li Yanru didn't move, he looked down at the reflection in the water, only felt that he was familiar yet strange.

Chen Yue appeared from the shadows and walked over.

"Why are you in trouble?"

He sighed.

Li Yanru remained silent.

"Actually, you may not want to leave here in your heart."

So Chen Yue said again, looking at him with a pair of eyes, as if he could see through his heart all at once.

"There are many ways to save Li Weixi. Whether it's to fake his death or disguise himself, sending a 'dead' out is much easier than sending a living person out, but you chose the most radical one. Gu Xichao is now A member of the imperial court, the emperor's favorite minister, if he goes out, the Wuxian Pavilion will surely be destroyed, whether it is intentional or not, but in the deepest corner of your heart, you always hope that this place will be destroyed."

"Shouldn't this place be destroyed?" Li Yanru closed her eyes, "You dare to rebel, so are you still afraid of Gu Xichao?"

Chen Yue was silent for a long time, then he sighed, "If only you were here when my family was intercepted and killed by robbers."

"Li Yanru, this rivers and lakes need people like you and Jiangcheng, but not here. Young Master, he only needs people who are loyal to him. We are all ordinary people, without your chivalrous heart. Young Master treats us well, we Help him, help him no matter what."

Chen Yue looked at him with a trace of regret in his eyes.

"You're going to destroy him."

Li Yanru said calmly, just at that moment, he suddenly saw many things clearly.

Wuxian Pavilion was first established by absorbing a group of desperate villains from the rivers and lakes, and then expanded its power like locusts. It was enough to show its ability to hide in Qinling for so many years without being discovered.

That breezy person has seen everyone's ugliness, but he himself has gradually fallen into the abyss of power. People are never easily satisfied. When you have enough power, why don't you pursue higher things?

At first Jiang Cheng wanted to give him a hand, but he failed.

Prosperity must decline.

Wuxian Pavilion is now like an isolated castle on layers of pebbles, crumbling.

Li Yanru sighed in her heart, turned her head to look at Chen Yue and said, "Where are Gu Xichao and Young Merchant Qi?"

"Where."

Chen Yue raised his finger to the front, there was a wall with complicated patterns engraved on it, but behind it was an extremely complicated maze.

Li Yanru turned her head to look, her expression changed involuntarily.

Chen Yue said with a smile: "You can wait for a while, soon, only one person will come out here."

……

Gu Xichao felt that something was wrong, they seemed to be walking in an extremely complicated maze at this time, the walls were filled with red candles, and the candlelight gathered into a sea of ​​stars, illuminating the entire road extremely brightly.

But Gu Xichao felt that his vision became more and more blurred, his footsteps seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't lift his energy.

He moved his Adam's apple, gritted his teeth and persisted, but after walking a few steps, he felt dark in front of his eyes, and staggered a few times, Qi Shaoshang hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"you're uncomfortable?"

"Um."

Gu Xichao half-closed her eyes, and responded in a low voice.

"There's a problem here."

"It's not that there is a problem here," Gu Xichao squinted his eyes and looked around, his eyes stopped on the burning candles. At the same time, thousands of candles burning in the grotto lobby suddenly flashed into his mind. He got up suddenly, staggered forward, and swept the candles on the wall to the ground with a wave of his hand, "There is something wrong with the candles here!"

After he finished speaking, he was about to fall to the ground, with the unextinguished candle under his body, Qi Shaoshang quickly pulled him into his arms with sharp eyesight and hands.

Mr. Gu would not show weakness even at this moment.

Qi Shaoshang tightened his arms and gave him a sneaky look.

Gu Xichao felt that the embrace of the person behind him was warm, and even his face became dry, so he pushed it away and said angrily, "It's not like a child, I want you to protect it? There's something wrong with the candle here, why not?" As for the group in the lobby, the poison they mentioned probably didn’t come out with the burning of the candle.”

Gu Xichao directed Qi Shaoshang to extinguish the candles.

The person in front of him was tall and tall, half of his body was bathed in the candlelight that filled the room, and even his frizzy hair was covered with warm golden light, making him look fluffy.

Qi Shaoshang put out the candle neatly, Gu Xichao looked up at him, and suddenly asked, "Why are you still moving?"

Qi Shaoshang was taken aback for a moment, and said after deliberation: "Because...you should take the antidote before."

After all, he looked at him cautiously, in a certain situation, Mr. Gu's mind is quite small.

Fortunately, there was no displeasure on his face, Qi Shaoshang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and extinguished the last candle.

The room was suddenly plunged into darkness.

"I carry you?"

Qi Shaoshang walked up to Gu Xichao and asked.

He couldn't see Gu Xichao's expression clearly at this time, but he could imagine the entanglement on it, so he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, but as soon as he made a move, before he could laugh, he heard the person on the ground say in displeasure :"what are you laughing at?"

Qi Shaoshang's smile froze.

"how do you know?"

After saying that, he wanted to slap himself hard. Why did he say it as soon as he asked him? At this time, he should be beaten to death and not speak up.

The people on the ground laughed lightly.

"I don't know the virtues of the head of the family."

After a while, I heard that clear voice say again: "Carry me on your back."

Qi Shaoshang responded, and squatted down happily to carry him on his back.

For some reason, even though there was darkness in front of her eyes, Gu Xichao always felt that the person in front of her had a tail dangling behind her.

Gu Xichao's body is thin and thin, he was hungry and full in the early years, but now he is not much fatter.

Qi Shaoshang was stunned, he just felt that the person on his body was too thin.

"what are you doing?"

Qi Shaoshang's ear was pulled, he didn't move, and walked forward silently with Gu Xichao behind his back.

Gu Xichao's hands were half wrapped around his neck, and the loose strands of hair were tickling his face.

From an angle that Gu Xichao couldn't see, Qi Shaoshang secretly looked at him from the side. It was very dark in the maze, but the two of them were so close that they could see some outlines.

Gu Xichao was handsome, he knew it.

Qi Shaoshang quietly traced his outline with lowered eyes, only feeling that the person in front of him was too handsome.

Just as he was thinking, Qi Shaoshang turned a corner with Gu Xichao behind his back, and the candlelight from the other side filled the air, so Qi Shaoshang was caught off guard and met Gu Xichao's eyes.

The scholar lay lazily on top of him, looking nonchalant, but those clear eyes were clearly looking at him!

Qi Shaoshang's heart jumped wildly, but before he could take a second look, the scholar slapped him and pushed his head aside.

"Put out the candles."

He said lightly.

Qi Shaoshang's heart was still beating violently, he sneaked a glance at Gu Xichao, and obediently stepped forward to extinguish the candle.

But this maze seems endless, even with this candle, Qi Shao carried Gu Xichao on his back and extinguished one after another, but every time he passed a corner, there would always be new candles appearing.

Gradually, Qi Shaoshang also felt that his footsteps became heavy.

The person on the body didn't speak, only the soft breath sprayed on his neck.

"Gu Xichao! Gu Xichao, you are still awake!"

Qi Shaoshang was a little anxious, after extinguishing the last candle in this passage, he put Gu Xichao down and patted his face lightly.

"Wake up..."

Gu Xichao lowered her head and said softly.

Qi Shaoshang breathed a sigh of relief, sat down too, and half embraced him in his arms.

"We'll definitely get out."

"can not go out."

Even at this time, Gu Xichao was too sober.

"Remember that gamble?"

He said lightly, his anger was like a gossamer.

"If they want us to die, they can directly send someone to arrest them. It doesn't take so much trouble. Now they have brought us here because..."

He seemed to smile a little.

"If my guess is correct, there should be an antidote later, but there is only one."

"You have to feed me."

Gu Xichao paused, and said again.

Qi Shaoshang was a little sad, he knew that Gu Xichao's heart was always cruel, but he never thought that his heart was still as cold as a stone.

Even if Gu Xichao didn't want it in his heart, Qi Shaoshang felt that he would be happy now if he gave in a few words.

But he still nodded, stopped joking, and said very seriously: "Okay."

Gu Xichao didn't seem to expect him to say that, and after a long silence, he said calmly: "Master, you will be deceived miserably like this."

But from the beginning to the end, you are the only one who can fool me around and cheat me of everything.

Qi Shaoshang looked at him, smiled slightly, did not say this, but brought up another topic.

"You're saying they won't actually dig up the body?"

Gu Xichao glanced at him in surprise.

From the beginning to the end, Gu Xichao was always mentioning the battle against the cold water.

Forced by the situation back then, in order to become a follower of Cai Xiang, Gu Xichao knew that what he did was disgraceful, but he never regretted it. The reason why he is so entangled now is that the suffixes of those who died are all "Qi Shaoshang's Brothers." That's all.

Qi Shaoshang, everything is because of Qi Shaoshang.

Gu Xichao wanted to cut through the mess with a sharp knife, dig out the bleeding wound and the surrounding flesh and blood, and cut it clean at once.

But Qi Shaoshang kept avoiding it, making him unable to do anything.

But now that Qi Shaoshang suddenly took the initiative to say it, Gu Xichao had a premonition that if he really let him say it, the two of them would be completely entangled in the future, and they would never be able to separate again.

A trace of uneasiness suddenly crossed Gu Xichao's heart, he wanted to stop it, but Qi Shaoshang said with a smile: "Congratulations."

"what?"

Gu Xichao was taken aback.

"Congratulations, you have fulfilled your wish and can make great achievements."

"I am your enemy."

Gu Xichao's face collapsed, and he said coldly.

"I know," Qi Shaoshang held his hand, "I hate you. For several years, I wanted to kill you every day, but when I really wanted to attack you, I found that I couldn't do it." .”

"I let the people in the village go out to seek revenge on you, but I never went out myself. I don't want to kill you. Sometimes I think it would be great if I could let others kill you, but when I think about it carefully, I can't bear it."

"I killed your brother!"

Gu Xichao wanted to break free, but Qi Shaoshang held his hand tightly.

"I know," he said in a more gentle tone than before, showing a little helplessness: "I heard that you became a prince and a tutor, and they said that you were ungrateful and reported on Cai Jin, but I was only happy. It will be in the picture, and I will finally no longer have to look at people."

"Later, the capital's comments about you came. They said that you are noble, upright, and a gentleman. I directly used this as an excuse not to let them assassinate you. Everyone praised me regardless of previous suspicions. Only I thank you for these few words from the bottom of my heart. , because... I really don't want to kill you."

"you shut up……"

"Later, when you worshiped the great general, I felt ashamed of that brother who died, and I never came to see you..."

"Qi Shaoshang, do you know what you are talking about? Are you worthy of those who died?"

"I know, I'm sorry for them, I can't let you go, and I will bear all the sins and mistakes."

Qi Shaoshang hugged him tightly, and whispered in his ear: "I've wanted to say this for a long time."

"Congratulations, congratulations, Mr. Gu finally got his wish, he is on the rise, and his aspirations are rewarded."

Gu Xichao stared at him blankly, his voice was a little tense, he knew he was serious.

"You said that I was insidious and cunning back then, so you weren't afraid that I would hand over the country to others?"

"You will not."

Qi Shaoshang shook his head with a very firm tone.

"You don't say these things, the antidote is still mine."

Gu Xi is ruthless towards the court.

Qi Shaoshang smiled, and said in a low voice: "Okay, here it is, General Gu is both civil and military, assisting the young emperor, defending the family and the country, living is better than me, a wild man in the mountains.

"What are you talking about...

Gu Xichao couldn't help but said in a low voice, as thin as a mosquito.

At this moment, a hidden compartment suddenly opened on the side wall, and a box fell from it, opened, and there was a pill and a note in the middle.

"Young master Gu is really good at predicting things like a god."

Qi Shaoshang opened the paper, took a look, and sighed.

He took out the pill and walked to Gu Xichao's side.

Gu Xichao looked at him, and suddenly said: "Master, now my limbs are sore and weak, but you can still move. Even if you take the antidote at this time, I can't stop it."

Qi Shaoshang shook his head with a smile, and stuffed the antidote into Gu Xichao's mouth without refusing.

The scholar in front of him was like pearls and jade, Qi Shaoshang looked down at him with a sour expression.

Some words have not been exhausted, some things have not been clarified, and it is really uncomfortable to part like this.

So he smiled wryly, gently stroked his face, and murmured in a low voice: "Xi Chao..."

However, at the next moment, Gu Xichao made a sudden move like lightning, and immediately hit three big acupoints of Qi Shaoshang.

Qi Shaoshang's eyes widened in astonishment, and he fell limply on the ground, watching Gu Xichao patted his clothes, and stood up staggeringly from the ground.

"The master..."

Gu Xichao looked at him with a smile, pinched his chin and kissed him, pried open the teeth and pushed the pill in, then gently pinched his neck to let him swallow it.

The whole set of movements is smooth and flowing, which is obviously planned for a long time.

"Gu Xichao!"

Qi Shaoshang looked at him, his eyes were about to burst.

Gu Xichao, on the other hand, laughed softly and patted his face lightly.

"Master, I told you earlier that you are so easy to be deceived."

When he got up, a stone door opened silently, Gu Xichao knew Qi Shaoshang's ability, and estimated that he would be able to break through the acupuncture point in a short time, so he directly kicked him out.

The stone gate slowly closed.

Qi Shaoshang's eyes were red, seeing the handsome scholar behind the door smiling and waving at him, he said silently:

Goodbye, master.

The author has something to say: the head of the family will be deceived again by visual inspection

Exam tomorrow, no more
