Qingchuan History

Chapter 857

"I won't just hand over this thing, don't worry."

When we parted, she said.

"You tell him that the elder sister is fine and the country is safe, everything is negotiable. If you can't preserve both at the same time, I, the Gu family, will definitely copy the Ji family and leave no one behind!"

She looked at him fiercely, as if she wanted to tear out his heart.Ji Qi felt pain all over his body, but he couldn't speak a word.

When Gu Chunfeng turned around, he felt pain all over his body, and his heart was going to be gouged out.

But she suffered too much pain in the first half of her life, and she can bear it now.She knew that these words should not be borne by him, and she knew that he would suffer terribly if he heard them, so why not herself?
But she can only tell him.Only he can talk to Ji Ping and thus, maybe, change the course of things.

Walking all the way to the inner palace, she first sent a letter to the ninja soldier in the Shenji Camp according to the agreed method, asking them to catch Li Hongjian no matter what.

Then she quickly went to Sui Yuxuan, and knowing that Gu Xingmo was fine, she stood by the bed and looked at the sleeping face for a moment.

"It's okay, wake him up."

Henry Zhang was stunned, "His Royal Highness, although the thirteenth prince has no external injuries, after all, he fell from a high altitude and was still subjected to a fierce impact. I am afraid--"

"What will happen if you wake him up at this moment? Will you leave a sequelae, or will you die?"

Everyone in the dormitory, from the medical officer to the palace staff, was frightened by this straightforward question and dared not answer.

"Well, it's not—" In the end, only the imperial physician ordered him to return.

"Gu Xingmo." Chunfeng heard the word "neither" already counted, "Gu Xingmo, wake up."

Shouting didn't work, she grabbed him directly, "Get up!"

The deep silence of the sleeping face was finally broken, the young man frowned, but still did not wake up, his expression became more and more painful.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Everyone was terrified, and Henry Zhang hurried over, "Your Highness, wait a moment, come here, I have a way."

Chunfeng Fang withdrew his hand, looked coldly at Henry Zhang for administering needles, Gu Xingmo opened his eyes after a cup of tea, his whole face was empty, and there was nothing in his pupils.

Henry Zhang watched and asked again, Gu Xingmo nodded and shook his head to answer, there was nothing wrong with it, Chunfeng ordered everyone to retreat.

"Can you talk?" She sat on the edge of the bed, her expression slowed down.

Gu Xingmo hummed, as if he was still suffering, and looked at his sister in a daze.

"I insisted on waking you up, so right now, it shouldn't be easy." Chunfeng knew that he didn't like being touched, so he put his hand on his forearm, "Don't blame sister, the situation is like this , the moment must be fought, there are some words, I can only ask you."

Gu Xingmo's eyes and pupils gradually gathered, and he gradually regained some expression. "Uncle Li, Feiyou, he might take my life at a critical moment. Brother Nine said so."

He didn't have the energy to explain everything Gu Xinglang told him, and only picked the most important ones, "How is he doing now?"

Chunfeng didn't ask too much, "That's why I woke you up. I ordered our people to arrest them secretly, but there is no news yet. If caught, what should we do with it?"

Gu Xingmo nodded, "Ninth brother told me to send the strongest ninja soldier from Shenji Battalion to send him to Mount Buzhou."

A chill suddenly rose from the bottom of Chunfeng's heart, permeated into the bone marrow, and radiated faintly outward. "Buzhou Mountain?"

Gu Xingmo understood so well that he reached out to put his hand on the back of his sister's hand, "Yes. Shen Ji's hometown, Buzhou Mountain."

She seemed to understand something, and because she didn't really know the cause and effect, her awakening was also vague.

"You know, two hours ago, there was an urgent report from eight hundred miles in the new district," she said after a long while, her voice dead, "it was said that he and Xue Zhan were both martyred for the country. And Brother Nine, too,"

She couldn't say the word, stopped here.

Gu Xingmo shook his head, "Probably not true. Brother Nine predicted all kinds of things when he left, and most of them happened or are happening now. He is still holding the chessboard and controlling the chess game. The so-called urgent report from eight hundred miles should be a trick. Just because of this? More people will reveal their true face. I have to lie here all the time, sister, in order to cooperate with the news of Brother Nine's death. The matter has come to this point, and chaos cannot be avoided. Only by going through this can we completely Breaking the game will determine the universe. You have to keep an eye on the [-] soldiers and horses, and you can't move easily."

Chunfeng nodded, and finally couldn't help asking: "What is your plan at Mingguang Terrace? If there is no Ah Yi—"

"Under Mingguang Terrace, near the palace wall, there are people from the Shenji Battalion. If Ah Yi doesn't show up, they will save me. I just want to force Li Hongjian to take action."

So she didn't have to die.Chunfeng warned himself not to think so, but he couldn't stop, and his face became paler.Gu Xingmo shook his sister's hand,
"But in that case, it will also reveal that I have troops, at least manpower is available. So A Yi has helped us a lot."

"I see." Gu Chunfeng came back to his senses, "Let's arrange for Li Hongjian. You must take care of yourself."

She began to stop doing other things for one person.Violent and continuous changes will really harden people's hearts-only by building up defenses can we continue to deal with it, so it shouldn't be called hard, but rather strong?She suddenly understood the hard-heartedness of people like Jing Tingge, maybe it wasn't enough to support the whole life.

Gu Xingmo smiled palely, "I should be on the safe side for the time being. Brother-in-law," he paused, "Ji Ping, it seems that he really isn't trying to usurp power and become the king, but more like fighting hard for his ideals."

This is the real trouble.

It would also make things really difficult for everyone.

"Do you think he will hurt Eldest Sister?" Chunfeng didn't intend to tell him the news of Chunyue's disappearance, which would only increase her troubles, but she really wanted to hear his judgment on this matter.

"This kind of thing, I'm afraid you women's feelings are more accurate." Gu Xingmo showed a look of embarrassment, "Besides, I'm often in Xiling, so I don't have a lot of observations of elder sister and brother-in-law getting along on a daily basis."

"Do you have to answer? Intuition."

"No." He was so decisive that he almost blurted out, "I think if, just if, he wins, he will definitely try his best to get the eldest sister to accept and let her stay by his side. Ji Ping is unfathomable, Absolutely not inferior to his father, it's just that he was blocked by his father in the past, and he himself deliberately restrained himself so as not to attract the attention of all of us."

He Yi, thoughtful, excellent in everything but lacking in sharpness.His performance from the beginning of this battle to today is enough to prove Gu Xingmo's conclusion at this moment.

So Chunyue was more likely to be imprisoned somewhere by him until the overall situation was settled.Chunfeng was calculating and didn't want to procrastinate, "Rest. I'll tell you that you have a bad headache again when I go out. If you want to lie down, lie down till the end."

In that room, Ji Qi stood at the foot of the jade steps of Mingluan Hall and waited for his elder brother. When midnight was approaching, he saw several ministers come out, and Ji Ping walked last.

The two brothers looked at each other and walked out side by side silently.The Xiangfu's carriage stopped at Zheng'an Gate, they got on the carriage, they continued to be silent, and no one spoke when they stepped into the gate of the house.

"The injuries on your body have been taken care of in the palace? Rest early." After crossing the garden, it was time to go back to each room, Ji Ping said calmly.

"Where is sister-in-law?" Ji Qi was also calm.

"finding."

"Are you and Tan Ying cooperating from the inside out? Otherwise, she wouldn't have said that before she died."

"Why can't it be her who intentionally punishes her heart and sows dissension?"

Ji Qi couldn't resist his chatter, so he could only change the subject: "Li Hongjian is also in your camp. He intends to kill the Thirteenth Highness tonight, did you know in advance?"

"do not know."

"The military newspaper said that the new district was defeated and the king died. What are your plans next?"

"The situation of the war between the kingdoms is still undecided, and the imperial court has to wait for further results before making a decision. And as a brother, you have heard it during the day, the eldest princess has an order, and think about it behind closed doors; tonight is just an urgent report of the emperor's death, so Fang His Royal Highness Prince Ning has already reprimanded him for disobeying orders and going out into the palace, so what happens next is not for my brother to plan."

Others are not sure about the depth of Ji Ping's city mansion, but Ji Qi knows it well.That's why even though he is a real brother, he has a closer relationship with Shen Ji and the others, and even calls Shen Ji "brother" and often calls Ji Ping "elder brother".

He was in awe of this brother, or it should be said that he was a little afraid.Because he couldn't figure it out, every time he faced him, he was like facing his father, and he never had the intimacy of his peers.

"Brother!" Finally he couldn't take it anymore, he turned around abruptly, "Brother, stop. If the emperor is benevolent and righteous, if our family abides by the way of being a minister, we can enjoy the honor of the noble family for another hundred years, 200 years, 300 years! What a rich family! If you don’t do it, why do you have to fight to the death like this?!”

Ji Ping listened to him repeatedly questioning him tonight, and he already felt that this younger brother has made progress, now after listening to this persuasion, he actually laughed.

"For the sake of the future, less life-and-death. In other words, the truth in this world is that you can't escape life and death. It's better to open up a situation that is more beneficial to the people, so that life and death are more valuable, and they will not be suppressed by an absolute person or family. Generations will So progress."

Ji Qi chewed on these words for a moment. "It is to abolish the monarchy. Brother Bai Ri's statement is really just a sophistry. Father was also convicted for this, and was imprisoned by the emperor?"

"Your Majesty," Ji Ping sighed softly, looking at the meandering water in the garden, "he and I both learned from my father, and for many years he couldn't see through me, and I couldn't see through him either. But in an emergency, there should be a tacit understanding." .”

Ji Qi was startled, "So Your Majesty—"

"Of course it's a fake. Even Shen Ji and Xue Zhan's disappearance may be fake. He is leading a snake out of the hole, waiting for me to do it, and he is confident enough to run to the ends of the earth and so on. Our lord, is really defeated by the little half of his life. I'm so spoiled."

"You know he's citing—"

"There is no risk-free plan. I am comparing him with him. He understands, and I understand."

Ji Qi could no longer understand.He still wanted to ask, but he didn't know what to ask, but at the next moment, he seemed to see his elder brother's eyes narrowed, and then his arms were suddenly bound.

It was the mansion guard who approached at an unknown time, tied him tightly, and led him to the depths of the house.

It was a closed dark room at the end of a narrow corridor, underground, small and damp.

Ji Qi was extremely shocked, and suddenly understood how Gu Chunyue disappeared, but it was too late.

"When the dust settles, my parents will come back, and our family will be able to reunite."

As the night fell in spring and summer, he stared blankly at his brother's unusually calm face.

"In my own house, there is someone to arrange food. You just eat and sleep for a few days, and you have the right to recover from your injuries." Ji Ping said again, "Don't try to escape or persuade the servants to let you go. This is the end of the matter, you go out to help others , is to murder your own family. Parents, me, Chen'er, don't even want to live, understand?"
