Chapter 261
The map of Canglong Qisu reappeared in the world. After finding the princess of Huangguo, the survivors of Huangguo, which was destroyed 15 years ago, set up troops in Luocheng, trying to escape from the rule of Xiguo.Even Emperor Zhao had to pay attention to the rebellion of Yue and Huang at the same time, and with Nandi staring at him covetously.

In the capital city of Xi Kingdom, Emperor Zhao was furious rarely, and everything on the dragon case was swept to the ground, and he said bitterly: "Okay, what a Huang Kingdom, what a Huang Nirvana, what a destiny to return, what a fate! This world belongs to me, so what is his Huang Kingdom..."

The emperor was furious, and blood flowed across the Kyushu. Even Xia Shouzhong, who had been with Emperor Zhao for many years, dared not speak, "Is there any news from the Xie family..."

Emperor Zhao asked, and Xia Shouzhong's forehead dripped with sweat, and Emperor Zhao really asked this...

"There is no good news from the Xie family."

Just at this time, the guard's voice came from outside the door, and there was an urgent report from the border.After Emperor Zhao saw it, his originally gloomy expression became even uglier.

There was no him in the urgent report, but it was written that Juyongguan could not be attacked for a long time. Now that the New Year is approaching, it is cold outside the Great Wall, and it is difficult to keep up with supplies.The soldiers were sick a lot and homesick, and had no intention of fighting at all. They attacked the Xi Kingdom several times and suffered heavy losses. So Emperor Zhao ordered to suspend the siege of Juyongguan.

When Emperor Zhao saw this place, Emperor Zhao was startled and angry. Now that the army of Xi Kingdom was besieging Juyongguan, he did not expect that the small Juyongguan could not be captured for a long time. Contained, the country of Xi was surrounded by enemies, and there was no extra force to be dispatched to Luocheng.

How could the country, which was originally impregnable, face the danger of falling apart in just a few months when there were no natural or man-made disasters?When thinking of this, even the battle-tested Emperor Zhao couldn't help but feel a chill on his body.

On the dragon case, there is a bronzing pattern of Du Ruoheng on the white fold. It was an urgent report sent from the country of Xi thousands of miles away. It was the only good news after receiving bad news one after another news.

Xiao Que successfully prevents Li Guo and Nan Di from joining forces, and exposes the conspiracy of Concubine Jing and King Ning who collaborated with Nan Di.By the way, Jing Yi was saved, so that Li Guo would not stab Xi Guo in the back when he was in trouble.

However, Emperor Zhao still had some hidden worries in his heart. This time he let Xiao Que go to leave the country, and he always had a feeling of letting the tiger go back to the mountain.Moreover, when Xiao Que was traveling around, he didn't know that because of Lord Xinling's relationship, although Jing Yi and Xiao Que were very different in age, they had a good friendship.

Among the original four kingdoms, only the Jing family valued love and righteousness the most in their lives, and they were the least like... an emperor.Back then Lord Xinling had planted a whole country of pear blossoms for Chaoyun, and he really liked Chaoyun...

Back then Lord Xinling asked to marry Chaoyun, if he had married Chaoyun to Lord Xinling and the two countries had a good relationship, would Chaoyun not have walked on that road of no return.When thinking about the past, Emperor Zhao saw struggle and pain in his eyes, and the letter in his hand seemed to be crushed into powder by him...

Du Ruohengwu, the child who continued Chaoyun's bloodline, was very similar to his mother in some respects, as determined.

There was a faint shadow of his mother on that amazingly talented child, which made Emperor Zhao very disturbed.Going to Liguo, the secret identity he had agreed with him was finally exposed to the government and the public. Emperor Zhao couldn't help but think of a passage Fu Yongxin said a few days ago after the news of Canglong Qisu map reached Xiguo.

"Your Majesty, the map of the seven constellations of the Canglong has reappeared in the world, and the Emperor has no choice but to guard against it." Fu Yongxin said solemnly.

"There are rumors that if you collect the map of the seven constellations of the Canglong and the seven keel bones, you can gain the world. Even though the Xi Kingdom is the overlord of the Eastern Continent, when we are fighting against the traitors of the Yue Kingdom and Nandi, we have to be careful that these rumors will shake the morale of the army. ah."

"There is also Prime Minister Zuo..." When mentioning Prime Minister Zuo, Fu Yongxin's face was slightly distorted. Even he did not expect that Prime Minister Zuo, who was on an equal footing with him, turned out to be Xiao Que, whom Xuan Ling regarded as a thorn in his side.But soon, Fu Yongxin's distorted expression due to jealousy calmed down a little, but Fu Yongxin said very seriously: "According to what I heard, Yuchen Pavilion has been looking for the whereabouts of the keel these years, and Canglong Qisu Tu heavy The current world happens to be when Prime Minister Zuo is leaving the country, so the emperor has to be on guard..."

"It's nonsense, Xiao Que is loyal to me. I don't want to hear these rumors from Fu Aiqing in the future. After all, you two are my humerus ministers. Now that Xiao Que's identity has been exposed, he will naturally go to the court frequently in the future. Tang, the two of you will cooperate with each other to serve me in the future!" At that time, Emperor Zhao's expression was serious, and he scolded Fu Yongxin, but he concealed the horrified look in his eyes.

These years because of the secret in his hands that restrained him, Xiao Que bowed his head and obeyed him. He cherished his talent, so Xiao Que also devoted himself to the court.

But what if the ambition is hidden under the peaceful surface...

Emperor Zhao felt cold all over, and didn't want to think about the worst possibility.

"The city has been besieged for several months, and even our army has insufficient supplies, so how can the Yue army besieged in the city of Juyong survive?"

Xia Shouzhong looked at Emperor Zhao's expression, which was black and white, and asked suddenly. Xia Shouzhong didn't know whether Emperor Zhao was talking to himself or asking him. To be on the safe side, Xia Shouzhong didn't dare to answer at all.

Once the seeds of doubt were planted, they spread and germinated in the bottom of my heart little by little.

The army of Yue State suffered heavy losses after besieging the city. Why did they take down dozens of cities including Juyongguan with their destructive strength?
At that time, Gong Ziyu clearly reported that he had died for his country, but why did he lurk in the palace a few years later, killed the old master, and escaped to Juyongguan under the strict security of the capital?

Except for the fact that Gong Ziyu was the leader of the destroyed Yue Rebel Army, the morale of the army increased greatly after his return. The previous spies could not detect the activities of the Yue Rebel Army and the support of any big family, but why there is so much? With such excellent weapons and endless supply of food and grass, they were able to confront the Xi Kingdom for so long?

An unbelievable but factual possibility was placed in front of him like this. Emperor Zhao's fingers turned white while supporting the red sandalwood carving of the Kowloon dragon table.Looking at the center, there is only one person who can manipulate these things under his nose without being noticed at all.

Good, good, what a Xiao Que... Emperor Zhao was so angry that he laughed back. Xia Shouzhong has been with Emperor Zhao for these years, and his appearance clearly only existed at that time back then...

"Send Qing Yuanhou to enter the palace!" Emperor Zhao said after a long time, as if making a decision.

Immediately afterwards, the guards outside came to report and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Gu Rui is asking to see you..."

When he heard those two words, Emperor Zhao's mask-like indifferent expression seemed to have a crack. Those two words seemed to be a memory of the past that had been frozen, and he forcefully broke a crack on the ice. All kinds of past events are vivid in my chest.

The madness on his face finally disappeared, his face was as pale as an old man in his twilight years, his eyes showed anger, guilt, etc., he clutched his chest tightly...

In that year, he was young and frivolous, traveling in the rivers and lakes, with a bright moon and a pot of wine, the loyalty of the rivers and lakes, and how many friends he made;

That year, the misty rain on the Chu River, Du Ruo on the riverside, a small boat in the world, the harmony between the harp and the Xiao, was the only peaceful time in this life;

That year, he was full of vigor and high spirits, born in the emperor's family with a high self-esteem, so he naturally wanted the position in the world, once he succeeded, his bones would wither;

That year, the pear blossoms turned into snow, and the garden was full of dead branches and leaves, brothers and sisters turned against each other, and whose blood splashed on the pear blossoms was bright and dazzling;

That year, the king came to the world, but he was betrayed by all, and what he got was far from the original intention early on. Only killing can alleviate the regrets that year after year...

Seeing Emperor Zhao's appearance like this, Xia Shouzhong's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this servant is going to teach the imperial doctor..."

Emperor Zhao clasped his chest and waved his hands and said, "Xuan"

That one word seemed to use a thousand ounces of strength.

The door opened with a "squeak", and the man in a smoky blue cloak walked in slowly.

This year's winter is extremely cold, and there is constant snowfall outside. The man in the blue cloak slowly walked up holding a 24-bone bamboo umbrella painted with pear blossoms in ink.

Although it was only mid-afternoon, because of the snow, the palace lanterns under the eaves were lit early. The man slowly approached, and even Xia Shouzhong, who had been with Emperor Zhao for many years, couldn't help but stare at the rumored man. A man known as the most wise man in the world.

Famous in the rivers and lakes, famous in the temples, but finally retired to the mountains.For all the rumors about him, there is another layer of mystery on him, and because he had a good relationship with Emperor Zhao back then, he often went to and from the court.With a proud personality like a plum, he composed music for Princess Chaoyun and expressed his appreciation. After Princess Chaoyun was gifted to death, he who was once the emperor's best friend never entered or left the palace.

In future generations, there are many speculations about this man.He once said that he and Princess Chaoyun were both teachers and friends, and they were supposed to be a couple of gods, but because of the chaos of the Five Kings, Emperor Zhao gave Princess Chaoyun death, so they turned against Emperor Zhaoyun.

He is even a few years older than Emperor Zhao, but the years have treated him extraordinarily favorably—in other words, he is far away from the center of political disputes and has less toil, so he takes care of himself much better than Emperor Zhao.

His eyebrows are high, his lips are thin, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes are raised upwards, all of which show that the man in front of him is an arrogant and extremely difficult person.

The long black hair was neatly tied up with a jasper lotus hairpin. After all, the black hair could not stand the ravages of time, and half of it was mixed with white hair.

He put away the umbrella, dusted off the snow on his body, and walked in unhurriedly, his posture was so elegant that others couldn't pretend to come.Xia Shouzhong narrowed his eyes, but the corner of his eye was looking at Gu Rui.

This person is also the mentor of the famous young master Yuyan and the left minister Chu Huaichao who is leaning towards the ruling and opposition parties.Xia Shouzhong remembered that among the few masks with Xiao Que, that person's demeanor was very similar to the person in front of him.Maybe it's because of the mutual influence of his teachers...Xia Shouzhong was startled into a cold sweat by his wild thoughts, and quickly found an excuse to think about it.

The old friends of the past met again, after many years, things have changed.The conspiracy in the deep palace turned the man who was very decisive in life and death during the Five Kings Rebellion into an old man.

Seeing Emperor Zhao, Gu Rui didn't bow down, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but that kind of smile appeared on his face, which seemed to be a kind of sarcasm—that knife-like eyes seemed to be able to tear away all his hypocrisy...

The anger on Emperor Zhao's face was only fleeting, and then the same mocking smile appeared on the corner of Gu Rui's mouth: "Gu Rui, I didn't expect you to dare to come to see me!"

Gu Rui suddenly smiled lowly, not because of the anger of the emperor, there was no fear on his face, but he said in the same indifferent voice: "The one who didn't meet us is you, respected emperor... "

When Xia Shouzhong went out to close the door loyally and dutifully, he vaguely heard the man's mocking words...
