Capture

In an instant, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

The long hair of the black-clothed man who looked up to the sky and roared, his long hair was disheveled due to the scattering of true energy, covering half of his face, but the other half of his cheek was still visible.

A beautiful side face, pale cheeks; unusually slightly purplish lips, and those tightly closed eyes that flowed bright red tears...

How much pain does it take for a person to be like this?

Gong Xihua has never experienced it, nor will she know it.However, he hated himself deeply, hated that he couldn't give Linshui the slightest comfort...

No.60 three rounds of decision

Is it still late?

When Wu rushed back to Guoshiyuan, what he saw was Linshui who had completely collapsed.Although he was also terrified by what happened to Master Zixuan, the deceased was already dead, and Linshui in front of him made him worry-free.

Wu will never forget the decision he made when he chose to be "Wu", as well as the unavoidable fate that he must bear.

Now the death of the former national teacher made his mission even more important.After all, the inner demons in His Majesty's body have intensified.

Suddenly, Wushuang frowned slightly, and moved with the shadow.Just as he was about to reach out his hand to catch Linshui who was slumped down, unexpectedly the other hand was faster than him.

The moment Linshui dissipated the stagnant energy and fell down, Gong Xihua reflexively stepped forward to catch the opponent, and let the pale person gently approach her arms.

Since he didn't bring it to face him, Wu didn't recognize him at first.But after a moment of daze, he judged the other party's identity by the other party's bright yellow robe.

Although "Yu" is not strictly speaking a subordinate of the man in front of him, it cannot be denied that he is also a subject of the man in front of him.There is no one person in the world of this underground palace that is not under his control.

Wu closed his eyes, lowered his head slightly, knelt down on one knee to Gong Xihua, and performed the courtesy of a monarch and minister.

"'Master Yu' doesn't need to be so generous." Because she was holding Linshui in her arms, Gong Xihua didn't take the initiative to step forward to help him up.

However, this title made Wu Weiwei wrong.Standing up silently, looking worriedly at Linshui who was sleeping, Wu pursed his lips tightly, as if he was enduring and suppressing something.

Gong Xihua naturally sees the subtle changes in the other party's emotions, and she is a little more sure of the identity of the man in front of her.If the current situation does not allow it, maybe I should really have a good talk with the other party.It is really not easy for him to do this for Linshui.

"Master Yu, I will entrust you, my national teacher."

Wu was taken aback and didn't immediately understand.It wasn't until seeing Gong Xihua holding Linshui's approaching hands that he took Linshui from her arms.

But he didn't understand, Gong Xihua had figured out her feelings for Linshui by herself, why did she hand over the person in her hands to him at this time?If Gong Xihua is not worried, it is absolutely impossible.As far as his actions were faster than his just now, anyone can see Linshui's position in the opponent's heart.

Looking at Gong Xihua suspiciously, it was the first time that he really saw her face under the mask.There is an unexplainable feeling in my heart, but it is undeniable that the man in front of me has an intimidating aura unique in the world and a unparalleled half-face.Compared with Master Zixuan or Linshui, both are even worse.

Slightly curling the corners of her lips, Gong Xihua knew how her face would make others feel.When Master Zixuan and Father Huang saw it, they were all stunned.However, everything should be over, from the moment he took off his mask in front of Linshui.The third prince who lived with a mask is no longer needed.

"I have to go back to deal with some state affairs. When everything is over, I will come back to visit later." I took out the silver mask from my waist, and with a slight force in my palm, a crack appeared in the center of the mask, and then it shattered into pieces.

The deep internal force in his hand made him widen his eyes suddenly, and then looked up at Gong Xihua, without concealing the shock in his eyes.

"emperor……"

"Can the king of a country not show his true colors to others? I don't want to arouse people's suspicion, let those villains just arouse criticism among me and the people of the underground palace, wait for the opportunity to slander, and create rumors."

This explanation is completely flawless, but Wu still feels that this is not the real reason why Gong Xihua took off the mask.At this moment, the tenderness in the man's eyes seemed to bloom only for Lin Shui.

Is it because of Linshui?That mask must have extraordinary significance.So taking it off now, does it mean that Gong Xihua finally decided to try to leave the past behind in order to face the water... I don't know this friendship, this feeling.

"This sad place is not suitable for staying for a long time. Master Yu should take my national teacher back to the room to rest first."

Because of this sentence, Wu looked at the surrounding scenery for a while, and only then did he discover the origin of the familiar feeling.Feeling sad in his heart, he vaguely guessed what was inside the wooden house.

"What is the relationship between Lord Yu and Master Zixuan? Since you have decided to embark on this path and abandon your past identity, why do you want to cling to the feelings you have already abandoned?"

Raising her head suddenly, in Gong Xihua's eyes, it seemed that no matter how many disguises she had, it would be in vain.Without calmly looking straight ahead, he suddenly shifted his gaze to a place behind Gong Xihua, then nodded at Gong Xihua, turned around and left with Linshui in his arms.

"brake."

"Master." Sha appeared in front of Gong Xihua, kneeling on one knee.

"It seems that you have been discovered." Gong Xihua had a faint smile on his face.

Sha was silent for a while, then replied: "He is very strong."

"It might be a good thing." Having him by Linshui's side made him feel a lot more at ease.

"My lord, I begged my lord to punish me for my subordinate's dereliction of duty just now." As a secret guard, he was discovered by someone other than the lord.

"That's all. What you are facing is Master Zixuan's favorite student, how can I blame you." With a wave of his hand, Sha stood up to speak. "Is there any news from over there?"

Sha nodded, took out the letter from his arms and handed it to the other party.

Gong Xihua finished reading quickly, and couldn't help squinting her eyes.It seems that the other party is playing the real game with me... Then I shouldn't hold back any more.

"Where is Ji Fan now?"

"Wait in the royal study."

"Let's go." This matter is of great importance, and there is no room for procrastination, and a result is bound to come out today.

On the other side, Ji Fan went to the imperial study room to wait for Gong Xihua after he left.He knew that no matter what happened, Gong Xihua would definitely come back here.Although the new king of the underground palace has just succeeded to the throne, his vigorous and decisive methods have already convinced a group of courtiers.In the current situation, the power of the Empress Dowager in the palace has completely disintegrated and come to an end today.Then the next focus should also be shifted to the stalemate with Zhenwu.

What was thought to be a provocative war in the past has now turned into a strong occupation.With the grievances of the previous generation and the hatred of this generation.In this troubled world, the road of love is always the most difficult.

Distraught, Ji Fan told the rest of the courtiers to continue to wait, while he pushed open the door of the imperial study.However, just as he walked out the door, he saw the bright yellow figure at the corner of the corridor.

He looked at Gong Xihua in disbelief, before recovering from the shock, the other party had already walked in front of him.

"My Ji Aiqing, what surprised you so much?"

"Where... is your mask?" Even forgetting to use the honorifics, it seems that Gong Xihua's impact on Ji Fan is indeed not small.

"Picked off."

"Pick it?" Ji Fan couldn't keep as calm as Gong Xihua, and his voice raised an octave involuntarily.

"Ah, I picked it." Gong Xihua gave an affirmative answer again. "I also destroyed the mask."

"You..." Can't help but be surprised, those are the shackles that Xihua has worn since she was a child... So the one who can make him take off is Shen Linshui?

"Although I don't mind if you find an opportunity to chat with me, the premise is that I have some spare time. Besides that time, I think you should pay attention to what you call me, Prime Minister Zuo."

Ji Fan was awakened by Gong Xihua's words, and only then did he realize his gaffe.Subconsciously looking at the unclosed door behind him, Ji Fan now only hopes that the rest of the courtiers won't make fun of him.

"The minister lost his composure, please don't blame the emperor."

"That's all, Ji Fan, let's talk further. Don't keep other lovers waiting for a long time."

When the visitor entered the study, sure enough, all the courtiers lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, not daring to avert their eyes without authorization.Just kidding, I have heard about the emperor taking off his mask just now, who dares to raise his head and peek at Long Yan rashly?I'm afraid that the emperor is not willing to let their heads move.

"You don't need to be so courteous, you should all raise your heads."

Everyone looked at each other in private, but due to the emperor's order, they had to bite the bullet and raise their heads.Then everyone was stunned by the face of the person in front of them, except Ji Fan who had seen Gong Xihua's face a long time ago.

"Ahem, masters." Ji Fan brought everyone back to their senses in a timely manner: "Today's border sent an urgent express report, saying that the battle between my underground palace and the Zhenwu coalition army does not seem to be optimistic."

As soon as this topic was opened, the generals first became solemn.The people here are all the core officials of the current underground palace, and they are all talents promoted by Gong Xihua, who are absolutely loyal to Gong Xihua.So what they said was the best help for the underground palace to Gong Xihua.

"Your Majesty, I think that Zhenwu's provocation this time is not groundless, it must have been premeditated." General Zhenxi said: "Although it was only a group of mobs at the beginning, it seems that there are experts in the army to guide it. I know."

"General Luo is right. I think we should send troops to support him."

"Exactly."

A group of people seconded one after another.Gong Xihua, on the other hand, listened quietly and looked at Ji Fan instead.

"What does Ji Aiqing think?"

Ji Fan pondered for a moment, then said:
