Shadow Guard, he's a bit good

Yingyi and Fuqing reunited after a long absence, and the second

The sky was dimly bright, and the sun gradually rose and broke through the darkness.

Yingyi and Fuqing reunited after a long absence, and they hugged each other tightly with gratitude.

They did not feel happy about taking down a city in Khotan. The corpses and burnt wreckage all over the ground, and the smell of burning and blood in the air all indicated that there had been a tragic battle here not long ago.

"At the end of the day, I will see the prince in the city"

Yu Cheng knelt down on one knee in front of Gu Xiao, Gu Xiao sat on the ground thinking about something, he raised his head and glanced at Yu Cheng casually but didn't speak.

Yu Cheng continued to report: "My lord, 200 people were slightly injured by the two thousand cavalry, and 100 people were killed. I will ask the lord what we are going to do next."

I just heard Gu Xiao leisurely say: "Take me to the place where Nineteen fell off the cliff"

There is a vast ocean below the cliff, let alone nineteen who fell after being seriously injured, even if a person with strong martial arts and no injuries fell into the sea from such a high place, there is no possibility of surviving after such a long time.

Gu Xiao had already cleansed his face but still couldn't hide his haggardness. He stood on the edge of the cliff for a long time. He didn't expect that the separation from Nineteen after reunion would be a farewell. Giving the tiger talisman to Nineteen for safekeeping actually killed him .Self-blaming, sad, all the negative emotions surged into Gu Xiao's heart, and he couldn't breathe. If time could be restarted, he would definitely kill his former self.

Gu Xiao shouted at the bottom of the cliff: "Ah—! Nineteen—!"

He used this method to vent the unspeakable grief in his heart, and at the end he knelt down slowly and put his hands around his head and kept choking and saying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I'm sorry... ..."

Everyone didn't dare to step forward to disturb and stood silently by Gu Xiao for a long time, Fu Qing snuggled into Ying Yi's arms and wiped away tears, everyone was enveloped in a sad atmosphere.

At this time, Qin Qiuhan slowly approached Gu Xiao and said, "The crisis of the fifth prince forcing the palace has not yet been resolved. Do you want to return to Beijing or continue to be depressed here?"

This was not mocking him. Gu Xiao understood Qin Qiuhan's meaning. After a few moments of silence, he wiped away his tears and got up and ordered loudly to the Iron Cavalry: "Everyone listen to the order and follow me back to King Jingqin!"

"Yes!"

All the iron cavalry responded in unison and were neatly arranged and ready to go.

The fifth prince had made sufficient preparations for this time to force the palace. In addition to the civil servants and generals who had stood on his side for a long time, he also tested against the commander of the imperial palace's heavy defense guards. This is also the reason why the fifth prince was able to force the palace so smoothly.

After King Jing and King Liang came back with their troops, they joined General Huwei to attack the palace together, but the fifth prince had already guarded against them and focused his troops on the city gate. King Jing and others didn't even enter the city gate. A month later, the two sides are still deadlocked.

King Liang was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and King Jing was even more anxious than him. After all, his wife and children were still in the city and were under the control of the Fifth Prince.

After half a month of patience, King Jing and King Liang joined forces with General Hu to attack the city again, determined to break through this line of defense and reach the palace no matter what.

The battle was extremely difficult, even with the determination to attack, it was still very difficult. The king of Liang rode on the horse and raised his sword and shouted to boost morale. To the sky.

Suddenly there was a commotion from behind, King Jing and King Liang heard someone shouting at the same time: "King Yan, it's King Yan, and there are iron cavalry!"

King Liang turned around in surprise and saw that not far away, there were cavalry wearing silver and white armor and Gu Xiao wielding a sword in a melee.Seeing King Gu Xiaoliang again was almost crying with joy, and even King Jing showed a gratified smile.

"Down with the rebels! Soldiers! Go!"

Gu Xiao yelled, and all the soldiers shouted "Come on!" Even though they all rushed into the city, the opponent's army probably had never seen such a sturdy cavalry army, and it didn't take long before they were overwhelmed and retreated.

"Damn it! Where is the jade seal!"

After finally forcing the emperor to write down the edict on the throne of Zen, but he couldn't find the jade seal anywhere, the fifth prince patiently told Xin that he grabbed the emperor's lapel and yelled, "Old man! Where is the jade seal!"

The emperor was lying on the couch in the Qinzheng Hall, his eyes were cloudy, his hair was much whiter than before, and he seemed to have aged more than ten years in a short period of time.

The fact is that the fifth prince gave the emperor medicine, although it was not fatal, but it also completely damaged the emperor's body. Now the emperor can't even sit up and can only lie down.

Hearing this, the emperor smiled contemptuously and said, "You will never know."

The fifth prince said angrily: "Do you still expect King Jing and King Liang to come to rescue you? Hmph, they can't even enter the city gate and you still count on those two trash!"

The emperor closed his eyes in disappointment to the fifth prince and stopped talking. The fifth prince became annoyed and let go of the emperor. He turned to Ling Qi who was silent at the side and said, "Mr. Ling, won't you help me think of a way?"

I just heard Ling Qi say indifferently: "Your Highness, don't force others to make things difficult. I have already helped His Highness, and I can't do anything about Yuxi."

"If you can't find a jade seal, I will make one myself"

"Fake jade seals will be dismantled at a glance, Your Highness be careful"

The fifth prince said angrily: "What can I do! Is it possible that the king will continue to spend with him!"

At this time, soldiers rushed to report: "His Royal Highness, it's not good, King Jing, King Liang, and King Yan led troops in."

Ling Qi's eyes lit up for a moment when he heard the name of King Yan, but the fifth prince was only shocked and didn't see it.

"King Yan? He's not dead!"

"Brother Wuhuang, do you really want this king to die?"

As the voice fell, Gu Xiao, King Jing, and King Liang walked into the Hall of Qinzheng at the same time. All three of them were in a mess after the battle, and the soldier who came to report hurriedly slipped away when he saw this.

The fifth prince snorted disdainfully: "I didn't expect you to come back alive, Yuchi Qixun is useless."

"Yuchi Qixun has been executed, Brother Wu Huang, don't make unnecessary resistance anymore."

At this time, the iron cavalry army rushed into the Palace of Qinzheng and surrounded the fifth prince's people. At this point, the fifth prince knew that he had no chance of turning over, but even so, how could he be reconciled to it.

Suddenly, the fifth prince rushed towards Ling Qi who was not far away with a dagger in his hands.

Everyone was shocked, Gu Xiao shouted: "Mr. Ling!"

However, the fifth prince did not get close to Ling Qi, and was stopped by the leader of the shadow guard who appeared out of nowhere. The leader of the shadow guard broke the fifth prince's wrist holding the dagger, and the dagger fell to the ground with a bang, and the fifth prince wailed. He fell to the ground, and immediately a cavalry army went up to hold him down.

It turned out that the leader of the shadow guards had been hiding in the Hall of Qinzheng since the rebellion of the fifth prince, waiting for an opportunity to move, and when he saw that the fifth prince wanted to hold Ling Qi hostage, he immediately showed up.

The leader of the shadow guards knelt down to the emperor and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty's incompetence is frightened."

The emperor said without any blame: "It's okay, get up."

The fifth prince who was captured kept struggling and shouted: "Let go of me! I am a prince, how dare you treat me like this!"

At this time, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Shut up! You rebellious son, I don't have such an unfaithful and unfilial son."

The emperor got angry and affected his illness, and couldn't help coughing a few times.

Liang Wang said to the iron cavalry who was pressing down on the fifth prince: "Gag his mouth"

The Iron Cavalry responded and covered the fifth prince's mouth with a cloth strip.

King Jing and King Liang walked over to help the emperor to pat him on the back.

King Jing worried: "Father, how are you feeling?"

Liang Wang also said: "Should I call the imperial physician?"

The emperor said with relief: "Thanks to you for coming in time."

The emperor looked at Gu Xiao who was at the side again and said, "King Yan, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Gu Xiao bowed to the emperor expressionlessly and said, "Please take care of the dragon's body, father."

A sentence in such a scene caused the emperor to burst into laughter, and after the laughter, the emperor coughed again.

"You child has not been close to me since you were a child. Alas, it's all because I didn't care about you when you were young and caused you to suffer a lot of grievances. When you grow up, you suspect you. In the end, you are the one who saved me."

There was no fluctuation in Gu Xiao's heart. The emperor didn't seem to have many years to live. Maybe it was because he thought about it before he died and suddenly realized it, so he said these heart-wrenching words to Gu Xiao, but what the emperor said was not It's not him, Gu Xiao has no right to respond.

It's just a pity that King Yan is destined not to hear these words. Probably this is predestined. Not all mistakes can be settled with a single confession. Feeling guilty can make amends.

But at the scene, Gu Xiao still had to say: "It's in the past, so you don't need to mention it anymore."

The emperor said helplessly, "Forget it." After a pause, he continued, "I'm not in good health now, and I'm no longer able to manage the government. The King of Yan has done a great job in rescuing you. I will be in the King of Yan today."

Hearing this, Ling Qi's eyes lit up again.

Chapter 57 Life experience Gu Xiao immediately knelt down on one knee and said to the emperor, "My son doesn't want to be emperor, please take back your promise."

Gu Xiao immediately knelt down on one knee and said to the emperor: "I don't want to be the emperor, please take back my father's order."

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiao would refuse without even thinking about it, the emperor asked in surprise, "You don't want the throne?"

Gu Xiao said resolutely: "Yes, I know that I don't have the ability to govern the country and worry about the people, so I never dared to dream about the throne."

I didn't expect that I had defended King Yan for so long, and I was afraid that one day this son would seek power and usurp the throne, but in the end, King Yan never wanted to be emperor from the beginning to the end.

The emperor was stunned for a moment and then sighed: "I'm confused and haven't been able to see clearly. I'll ask you again, do you really want the throne?"

"Yes"

"Then who do you think among your royal brothers can sit on the throne?"

Gu Xiao said sincerely: "The throne is a matter of great importance, and my ministers dare not speak nonsense."

At this moment, King Liang also knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "I don't want to be an emperor, I just want to be an idle prince like my seventh brother, and I'm satisfied."

The emperor looked at the two sons kneeling in front of him, and said with emotion: "I never thought that the throne that everyone wanted would become a hot potato in front of you two."

The emperor turned his head to look at King Jing again and said, "King Jing, what about you?"

King Jing then knelt down on one knee and said, "The sons and ministers are all determined by the father."

King Liang: "Father, the ministers think that the elder brother is quite suitable, warm and kind, and many ministers exaggerate the elder brother."

Gu Xiao: "My son also thinks that Brother Dahuang is respectful, courteous and capable of both literature and martial arts, so he should be a wise king."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction and said, "I also think King Jing is good."

King Jing said modestly: "It's the father and the two younger brothers Miao Zan. In fact, the fourth and second younger brothers are also very good."

The emperor shook his head and said: "The two of them can't do it, it's hard to be a big responsibility"

The emperor said to the crowd: "I have decided to pass on the throne to King Jing, and I will serve you with pen and ink."

A cavalry army immediately brought the table, laid out the imperial decree, and finished the ink.

The three of Gu Xiao stood quietly aside, while the emperor tremblingly held the brush and wrote down the imperial decree stroke by stroke.

After finishing writing, the emperor put down the brush, looked at Ling Qi and said, "Mr. Ling, give me the jade seal."

Ling Qi answered "Yes"

The emperor went on to say: "The fifth child never thought that I would secretly give the jade seal to Mr. Ling."

It turned out that when the fifth prince was looking for the jade seal everywhere, Ling Qi quietly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, where is the jade seal? I can keep it for you. I swear that I will never let the jade seal fall into the hands of the fifth prince."

The emperor knew that Ling Qi was an aide of the King of Yan. Although he didn't understand why he followed the fifth prince, he saw that the people of the fifth prince were searching for the jade seal. It would be a matter of time before they were found. Ling Qi once.

In fact, the jade seal was under the emperor's pillow. Ling Qi secretly hid the jade seal in his sleeve when no one was looking, and then pretended to stand aside as if nothing had happened.

The emperor was glad that he did not trust the wrong person, Ling Qi took out the jade seal from his sleeve and walked to the emperor.

However, the situation changed suddenly, and Ling Qi took out a dagger and quickly placed it around the emperor's neck.

No one was on guard against Ling Qi, and everyone present was shocked when the incident happened.

Ling Qi shouted: "Don't come close!"

Everyone immediately took a few steps back.

Gu Xiaodao: "Mr. Ling, what are you doing?"

Ling Qi looked at Gu Xiao with a little disappointment and said, "The prince has been with you for so many years, and his only wish is to help the prince ascend the throne."

"Mr. Ling, you know that this king doesn't want to be emperor at all"

Ling Qi's eyes showed a hint of sternness and said: "Yes, that's why I have to do this."

"Why do you want to do this, sir? If you really care about Conglong's achievements, I believe that Brother Dahuang will never treat you badly, but the Mr. Ling I know is by no means a vain person."

"I naturally don't care about the merits of the dragon, and it's not for this reason that I wholeheartedly assist the prince."

Gu Xiao was puzzled and said, "Then why is that sir? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I will try my best to help you."

Ling Qi looked at the emperor and said: "I just want to ask your majesty, does your majesty still remember Ling Yunzhi?"

Hearing this, the emperor showed shock, and tremblingly said: "Yunzhi? You, who are you?"

"He is the biological father of the minister"

The emperor said excitedly: "No wonder I feel a sense of déjà vu when I see you. So you are Yunzhi's child?"

Ling Qi snorted disdainfully: "Your Majesty, why do you have to be so hypocritical? My father wanted to help a wise king. He chose you, Your Majesty, but Your Majesty was afraid that my father's meritorious deeds would kill him. The entire family died under His Majesty's knife, if the guards at home hadn't brought me out with all their might, I would have died in that massacre long ago."

The Ling Mansion that night was like a hell on earth, the sprayed blood stained the ground and the doors and windows red, the screams kept coming and going, how many times Ling Qi dreamed back at midnight and saw his parents covered in blood lying on the ground In a pool of blood, he stood there powerless, watching helplessly as the escaped servant girl passed through his body and was killed by the killer who was chasing him.

Unexpectedly, there is such a past, Jing Wang and others have never heard of it, and now they are surprised to hear it at first.

The emperor's wrinkled face was full of guilt, and he blamed himself: "This matter is my fault, I am sorry for Yunzhi, when I was still a prince, I was young and vigorous, and I couldn't understand people's hearts, Yunzhi I followed the south and north wars, but I listened to the villain's slander and suspicion, but it was not my intention to kill the Ling family."

"Does Your Majesty still want to quibble now?"

"I don't want to quibble, everything is Chen Gao and Li Su's misinterpretation of my meaning, even so I admit that I have an unshirkable responsibility"

Ling Yunzhi is a military general who is upright and kind, and his wish is to hope that the Mingjun will be born and the world will be peaceful, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Ling Yunzhi chose the emperor who was still the prince at that time, and he was loyal to him. As Ling Yun's military exploits increased and he was approachable, he often helped others. Over time, both the military camp and the people's reputation for Ling Yunzhi were unanimously praised. , even the limelight in the court has a faint tendency to overshadow the crown prince.

At that time, the prince had a deputy named Li Su. Seeing that Ling Yunzhi was not only popular but also highly valued by the prince, he began to fan the flames in front of the prince with jealousy.

It may not be effective to say this kind of thing once or twice, but if you say it too much, it will inevitably be deeply rooted in people's hearts and make people suspicious. After hearing too much, the prince began to suspect that Ling Yunzhi had a second heart, and gradually alienated him from then on.

Later the crown prince became the emperor, but the people who followed him talked about meritorious deeds but did not mention the great hero Ling Yunzhi. Li Su was very proud of this matter, but other ministers complained about Ling Yunzhi and asked the emperor to reward Ling Yunzhi for his meritorious deeds.

That day the emperor was still approving the memorials late at night, and most of the memorials were requested by Ling Yunzhi. Although the emperor was suspicious of Ling Yunzhi, he never thought of obliterating him. He just wanted to take Ling Yunzhi's real power and give him a job without food and clothing. After spending his whole life worrying, if he wanted to reward Ling Yunzhi for his meritorious deeds, it would run counter to the emperor's thinking.

The emperor sighed and threw away the memorial in his hand and said unconsciously: "I am very worried about it, but there is no one who worries about it."

This sentence was heard by Chen Gao, the great eunuch who was serving at that time. Chen Gao was bribed by Li Su and passed the words to Li Su the next day. The two thought that the emperor was hinting that he wanted to kill Ling Yunzhi.

Since the emperor lamented that people who have no worries, Li Su became the emperor's person who shared worries. That night Li Su pretended to preach the holy will and sent killers to slaughter the entire Ling family, and then pushed it to Ling Yunzhi's enemies.

The emperor knew that it was Li Su and Chen Gao who misunderstood his meaning and lost his temper when they pretended to preach the holy will, but how should the emperor explain this kind of thing? It cannot be said that he did not want to kill Ling Yunzhi but just wanted to take over his military power Well, no matter which argument it is, it is hard to escape the suspicion of strangling the hero and tearing down the bridge.

So the emperor acquiesced to what Li Su and Chen Gao did, and on the surface praised them, but then found a reason to execute the two of them, and doing so was an explanation for Ling Yunzhi.

After hearing this, Ling Qi said unmoved: "Your Majesty thinks that you have no responsibility for killing the whole family of my Ling family if you say that you didn't mean it. If it weren't for your indecisiveness, suspicion and suspicion, how could you let the villain have a chance?" But, father, he simply assisted the wrong person."

The emperor was ashamed and said: "I also regret that I didn't do it at the beginning, but I am very relieved to know that Yunzhi still exists."

"If your Majesty really feels guilty, he will change the imperial edict and make King Yan the emperor."

The emperor looked at Gu Xiao in embarrassment. He also wanted to pass on the throne to Gu Xiao, but Gu Xiao had already stated that he did not want the throne.

Gu Xiao also said in a difficult way: "Mr. Ling, why should he be like this, Brother Dahuang will definitely be a wise king"

Ling Qi said firmly: "I only believe in myself, in the lord."

Unexpectedly, Ling Qi would be such a single-minded person, Gu Xiao sighed helplessly and said, "Mr. Ling, in fact, this king already knew about your background."

Ling Qi looked at Gu Xiao in surprise.

Chapter 58 Revenge "This king asked someone to check the identity of Mr. Long ago, so this king actually knew that Mr. Ling Yun is the descendant of General Ling Yun"

Ling Qi...

"My lord asked someone to check the identity of my husband a long time ago, so I actually knew that my lord is a descendant of General Ling Yunzhi."

Ling Qi said in disbelief: "Since the lord knows, why didn't he expose the minister?"

"Why do you want to expose you? This king thinks that Mr. is not wrong and understands Mr.'s heart, but this king is destined to have the wrong love of Mr., this king believes that the elder brother will definitely be a wise king, Mr. Can you let go of your prejudice and choose Believe it once"

In fact, Gu Xiao didn't know Ling Qi's real identity. There was a problem with Ling Qi's identity, which he heard from Si Junhao. Knowing Ling Qi's identity but not exposing him, he still chooses to trust him, so Gu Xiao is also willing to trust Ling Qi.

Ling Qi remained silent as if to be shaken, and Gu Xiao continued his efforts: "Sir, I have been with this king for many years and know that my experience in the palace was not good when I was a child. What I hate most is the intrigues and schemes in the palace. , this king, like my husband, hopes for peace and wants to live a peaceful life, even so, does my husband insist on pushing me to the throne regardless of my wishes?"

Ling Qi was trembling all over, it was not his wish to force others into difficulties, he just believed in a person who could become a wise king and didn't want to let go.

At this time, King Jing said: "If the seventh brother is the emperor, it is all right, but the seventh brother is not willing to Mr. Ling, so why bother to force it? The king promised Mr. Ling that if the king is responsible for the world and the people after he ascends the throne, Let Mr. Ling criticize him verbally and in writing."

Gu Xiao: "If the elder brother is really a fool in the future, there is no need for Mr. to say that this king will be the first to turn against him. In fact, Mr. knows in his heart that he is more capable of governing the country than my elder brother, right?"

Ling Qi showed a look of unbearable expression, he held the dagger tightly, his whole body was trembling, he was always struggling in his heart, what should he do, is he really going to force King Yan to be the emperor?But even if King Yan is forced to become the emperor, so what? Can a person who has no intention of governing really be a good emperor, and forcing people to submit is against his wish.

Everyone was silently waiting for Ling Qi's choice. After a long time, Ling Qi finally let go of the dagger, and said in frustration: "My lord, I lost."

King Jing and King Liang hurried over to support the emperor and asked about it. Gu Xiao looked at Ling Qi and said sincerely: "This king thinks that Mister has won."

At this time, the emperor sighed and said: "Everything is my fault. After King Jing ascended the throne, he should announce the real cause of Yunzhi's death to the world. This can be regarded as a real confession to Yunzhi."

Announcing this matter is acknowledging that the emperor was at fault. How could any emperor be willing to admit that he was in the wrong? What's more, Ling Yunzhi's matter is not just as simple as "the emperor is in the wrong", but also involves the emperor's scandal of strangling heroes. If it gets out, the emperor must be notorious.

King Jing didn't quite agree, he said anxiously: "Father, please think twice."

The emperor said indifferently: "It's okay, I don't have much time to live, if they scold me, let them scold me, and I can bear all the crimes alone."

Ling Qi was touched by it, Gu Xiao respectfully bowed to the emperor and said: "Father is wise."

The emperor didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and said helplessly, "You child, you are only willing to say "Father is wise" at this time."

The emperor picked up the jade seal and pressed it on the prepared imperial decree.

The officials were not surprised when the imperial edict was announced. Only King Jing, King Yan, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince were the only ones who could inherit the throne.

The third prince is dead, the fifth prince rebelled, and King Yan recently behaved like a fool, as if he had completely changed himself, without the fancies of an emperor at all, so it became a matter of course that the throne would fall on King Jing in the end.

The emperor also gave Gu Xiao a Shangfang sword, which can be used to slay the faint king and the rebellious ministers. Seeing the sword is like seeing the emperor. This is the only compensation the emperor can give to King Yan.

An unpretentious carriage was parked in front of the temporary gate of King Yan's Mansion, and the handlebars on the carriage were waiting for orders.

Because the Yanwang Mansion was burned down, Gu Xiao temporarily bought a mansion to live in temporarily. After the Yanwang Mansion was rebuilt, he moved back. He could have lived in the palace directly, but Gu Xiao was really against the palace. Alien ease.

Gu Xiao said to Ling Qi: "Sir, do you really want to leave? Even if you stay in the palace, it's fine."

"My lord no longer needs me, and I don't need to stay here anymore. In fact, I have another wish, which is to live an ordinary life in the mountains one day. Now I will finally realize this wish."

"Since it is your wish, the king will not force it."

Ling Qi said guiltily: "I'm sorry, my lord, it was my idea for the fifth prince to take away Shijiu while the prince was in a coma, and send assassins to attack the palace. I originally wanted to use this method to force the prince to deal with the fifth prince, but But I don't know that the fifth prince colluded with Yuchi Qixun and almost killed the prince, and the nineteenth prince..."

Ling Qiyue said that the more he felt ashamed, nineteen fell off the cliff and died. This hurt King Yan too much, and no amount of sorry can make up for it.

Gu Xiao smiled slightly and said, "After knowing Mr.'s life experience, this king can understand Mr.'s actions. Besides, Mr. didn't do anything serious, so Mr. don't have to blame yourself too much."

Ling Qi acted as if he wanted to kill Yuchi Qixun to avenge Shijiu no matter what, so Gu Xiao could somewhat understand Ling Qi's mood.

Gu Xiao said again: "Besides, I don't think Nineteen must be dead. Maybe Nineteen is waiting somewhere for me to find him."

Seeing that Gu Xiao was still so optimistic, Ling Qi was relieved a lot. He smiled and said: "Nineteenth, if the prince thinks like this, he will be safe and sound. I wish the prince can find Nineteen soon."

Gu Xiao nodded and said: "When I find Nineteen, I will go to visit Mr. Nineteen with Nineteen."

"Well, I am looking forward to that day."

"It's getting late, I'm leaving, my lord, take care"

"Take care of yourself"

After Ling Qi and Gu Xiao said goodbye, they got into the carriage, and Gu Xiao watched the carriage gradually drive away.

At this time, Qin Qiuhan came over with a steed horse and said, "My lord, I'm leaving too."

"Don't you leave after the eldest brother is enthroned, it will definitely be very lively."

Qin Qiuhan said disdainfully: "I'm just a river and lake person to join in the fun of your court affairs, let's forget it."

Qin Qiuhan looked at Gu Xiao and said, "I don't believe that Nineteen is dead, so the prince must find Nineteen."

Gu Xiao said firmly: "Well, this king will definitely do it."

Qin Qiuhan smiled and said: "Of course, Tingyulou will also look for it. If I find Shijiu first, I won't return him to you, my lord."

Gu Xiao also smiled and said, "Don't worry, I must be the one who found it first."

"My lord, take care, we will meet later!"

As Qin Qiuhan spoke, he turned on his back and walked away.

Gu Xiao silently said to Qin Qiuhan's back, "There will be a period later"

In the cell of the Clan Mansion, the Fifth Prince curled up on the dilapidated bed.

At this time, footsteps sounded, followed by the sound of chains and cells being opened.

The fifth prince stood up and looked, and found that Gu Xiao was followed by two guards.

The Fifth Prince said with an unkind expression, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I came to see your miserable appearance." Gu Xiao approached the Fifth Prince and said provocatively, "Brother Emperor, how does this cell feel?"

Once he became a prisoner, the mentality of the fifth prince has long since collapsed. He thought that Gu Xiao was responsible for his falling into such a situation. Now the culprit still came to laugh at him and provoke him. He rushed towards Gu Xiao, but Gu Xiao had been prepared and dodged it with a slight retreat, and the fifth prince was also pinned to the ground by two guards.

The Fifth Prince yelled at Gu Xiao: "Gu Xiao, what on earth do you want to do!"

Gu Xiao squatted down and looked at the fifth prince with a charming smile: "What do you think I want to do? Naturally, I want to avenge the nineteenth."

"It's a sin for a person like you to live an extra moment, I'd better send you to hell sooner."

"How dare you! This king is also a prince after all, Gu Xiao, how dare you abuse lynching!"

Gu Xiao ignored him, stood up and said to the two guards: "Do it"

The two guards responded in unison, and one of the guards took out a white silk and wrapped it around the fifth prince's neck, and each of them tightened and pulled vigorously.

The fifth prince was pinned down by the legs of two guards and could not move. He could only hear the sound of "ho ho" from his throat. The fear of suffocation made him want to tear off the white silk strangled around his neck, but it was in vain.

Gu Xiao stood on the spot and watched the fifth prince indifferently struggling, the ground was scratched with bloodstains, and finally calmed down completely.

Looking at the dead body of the fifth prince, Gu Xiao sneered and turned away without taking another look.

None of the people who killed Nineteen can escape!

The guards of the palace reported the matter to King Jing, who was busy with the enthronement ceremony and said in surprise: "You said that King Yan killed the fifth child."

The guard said respectfully: "Yes, King Yan took someone to visit the fifth prince at the clan mansion this morning, but after His Royal Highness Yan left, the head of the prison found that the fifth prince was dead."

King Jing sighed and said, "That's all, it's the old fifth's own fault."

King Jing said to the guards: "The order will go on, saying that the fifth prince committed suicide in fear of crime, and he will be mourning after the enthronement ceremony."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it now"

Chapter 59 Acacia has been busy for a few days, and the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled. Today is a sunny day, neither cold nor cold

After a busy few days, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled. Today is a sunny day, neither cold nor particularly hot. This kind of weather makes the officials who have been standing for several hours in a row feel much better.

The enthronement ceremony was complicated and cumbersome, and it was dark after the whole process. In the end, the new emperor sat in the Golden Luan Hall and all the ministers bowed down and shouted long live.

Next came the palace banquet. The new emperor's accession to the throne naturally had a grand banquet for all the ministers, and everyone enjoyed it happily. Gu Xiao also saw Deputy General Ding and Fu Qingping, and he didn't know when these two people got together.

Deputy General Ding and Fu Qingping came to toast Gu Xiao, Gu Xiao drank with a smile and blessed the two of them.

After drinking the toast, the smile on Gu Xiao's face disappeared. He looked at the civil servants and generals with smiles on their faces and left the banquet hall with a leisurely sigh.He could no longer blend into this lively atmosphere, so he had to find another place to continue drinking.

So Gu Xiao took a jar of wine and climbed to the roof to continue drinking. Today's moon is round and big, Gu Xiao raised the wine jar to the moon, and suddenly thought of Li Bai's song: Toast to the moon, to the shadow There are three people, but what he is more heroic is not the cup but the wine jar, but it is not three people, he is still alone.

I send lovesickness to the bright moon, but the bright moon...

Where is his bright moon?

Gu Xiao took a sip of wine, stared at the high moon in a daze, if Shijiu was still alive, would he be admiring the same moon as him?

Nung, moon and new moon.

Later, Gu Xiao didn't know how he got down from the roof, and when he woke up, he was already on a comfortable bed.

In the study, Gu Xiao dried and stacked the portraits neatly and called Yingyi.

"You ask people to send nineteen's portraits to the county governments and magistrates, and tell them to pay attention to the people in the portraits, and if they find any traces, they will immediately inform the king." Gu Xiao put together a thick stack of portraits and The token of King Yan's Mansion was handed over to Yingyi.

Yingyi took the portraits and tokens and found it inconceivable that so many portraits of Shijiu were painted by the master himself?It turned out that the owner spent so many days shutting himself in the study room painting a portrait of Nineteen. Even the identification portrait sent to the counties, the owner painted very carefully. When Yingyi saw the top portrait of Nineteen, no matter who The shape or charm and even the curvature of the mouth are very similar to Shijiu himself, definitely not the kind of hasty handling of things.

Later, Yingyi saw that the master's study room was full of portraits of Shijiu, with different expressions, but each one was still very detailed, as if Shijiu in the painting was about to come out of the paper.

Half a year later, the new Yanwang Mansion was built, and the layout was exactly the same as before. Even the location of the flowers and trees had not changed. This is what Gu Xiao meant. The Yanwang Mansion was the place where he and Nineteen lived, and nothing changed. It made him feel that Shijiu was still there, and he didn't want to wait for Shijiu to come back only to find that things were different.

King Yan's Mansion is the best memory of Gu Xiao and Nineteen. Gu Xiao will revisit all the places where Nineteen has gone before. Things that are very boring in the eyes of others, this is the way he misses Shijiu.

The time of bliss is fleeting, and five years later——

A simple carriage was driving slowly on the Noma alleyway. Because it had snowed the day before and the road was slippery, the handlebars did not dare to drive the carriage too fast. After all, the county magistrate was sitting in it. He can't afford it.

But the accident still came, and a few burly men with big knives suddenly jumped out to block the way, and the leader of the group recited the standard lines of robbers.

"I opened this road, I planted this tree, I want to pass by from now on and save money to buy roads"

Terrified, the handlebar quickly stopped the carriage.

The 50-year-old county grandpa lifted the curtain of the car and revealed his head. Today is the day when the counties visit the governors. He came back a little late because he drank a few more drinks. He thought that he would take a short path, but he did not expect to be robbed. bandit.

But at any rate, the county magistrate had never seen anything before, and he didn't hesitate when he met the robbers. Instead, he yelled loudly: "Bold! This official is the county magistrate. If you dare to block the road and rob in broad daylight, there is no law!"

Unexpectedly, all the robbers laughed and said, "How can there be such a shabby magistrate like you? It's fine without guards, and even the carriage is so dilapidated. If you are the magistrate, I will be the emperor's father. Stop talking nonsense and get the money quickly. Otherwise, I will kill you!"

Seeing the insolent robber, the magistrate had no idea, spending money to prevent the disaster was nothing more than the best choice, but this fueled the flames of the robber, as a parent officer, he couldn't do this.

When the magistrate was fighting wits with the robbers, the forest not far away
