A fast horse gallops out of Lin'an with a crooked letter written by Ji Chengfa.
The roadside is densely covered with trees, and countless people in black are hiding in the treetops. When they get to the designated area, they can start.
The burning sun shines on the road, and the flying yellow sand makes people's vision blurred. The horse driver suddenly sees a stumbling rope on the road in front of him. It's too late to rein in time.
One man and one horse fell to the ground, and the horse was so sad that he was killed by the man in black. He didn't even have time to take out his sword.
The man in black groped around him and found a letter. The handwriting on the envelope was tender. They nodded to each other.
"What's the matter? The emissary of Beili, who was a child, sent only one person to deliver the letter. Does he think that no one in Dongling Dynasty dares to attack Beili people? "
After a group of people in black found the letter, they quickly evacuated. When the birds were singing again in the forest, they rode fast forward.
The horse was obviously stronger and stronger than the one that fell down in front of him, and the momentum of the man on the horse was more fierce. After passing by the corpse, the man on the horse looked at him and left without any hesitation.
The two of them were sent to carry out the mission of sending letters. One was destined to die, the other was destined to live.
And he is the latter.
Horseshoe all the way to the west, the prime minister in the city, Yan Shuo opened the letter that the man in black cut back, and immediately changed his face.
"Son of a bitch! What is this? "
He threw the letter on the black face. The latter picked it up carefully and saw that there were no words on the letter paper. Instead, he drew a big pig's head with two words of Yin Shuo on it.
Seeing the painting, Yan Shuo couldn't help thinking of the child who was like a demon king, looking at him with sarcastic eyes.
Being humiliated by a child is the biggest failure of his life.
The man in black knelt down and kowtowed, "please forgive me, please forgive me!"
Yan Shuo gnawed his teeth bitterly, "if you send someone to track the messenger, you must find out where the messenger went, which is most likely where Yufu is!"
……
The team of the Northern Glass Prince and his entourage was suddenly very fast.
Along the way, some local officials wanted to flatter and make up with each other. Before they could go, the people had already left.
Some local officials heard that they were on their way day and night. In order to catch up with them, they were waiting outside the city before dawn. They waited several hours to see the huge guard of honor in the distance -
with bright yellow.
The local officials are in high spirits. The city's food, wine and curios are all ready. They have tried their best to prepare them, and finally they can come in handy.
The group of people and horses soon approached. The leading local official, wearing a conspicuous red official uniform, came forward and arched his hand to the carriage. "Welcome the Northern Glass Prince and his party. Please have a rest in the city."
In response, he was covered with sand.
"Bah, bah."
He vomited out the yellow sand in his mouth, looked up and saw that the other party didn't even stay for a moment, and passed as if he didn't see him.
Yellow dust billowed behind the procession. A group of local officials standing outside the gate were choked and coughing. They were all disheartened.
"It's unreasonable. It's too overbearing and rude!"
Yu Fu and others couldn't hear the angry voice behind them. The carriage was silent, and they were all on their way.
Yuehu looked at this and then at that, "well, don't worry about it. If Ji Chengfa is here, even if it's time for three days, as long as the knife doesn't fall on his neck, he must have a way to stop it! "
Before most dislikes him is the month fox, now puts the hope on him is also the month fox.
Gu Shubai frowned and said, "if it's just your majesty, I'm not afraid. But now Yan Shuo has clearly seen through our purpose, he will not let people stop his plot. "
Yu Fu said, "that's what I'm worried about. There is no way to go now, so we have to hurry back to Lin'an as soon as possible. Big brother, is your body still enough? "
Gu Shubai nodded, "you two give me this medicine and that medicine in turn every day. My body has recovered a long time ago, but my martial arts has not recovered to the original level."
Yu Fu opened the corner of the car curtain and looked out. There was a large number of long guard of honor, and the speed was not fast at all.
She suddenly had a bold idea: "the guard of honor is too cumbersome. It's better for us to abandon the car and ride the horse to the imperial capital first. As long as your body can bear it, you can start immediately. "
"Princess, I can't do it!"
Gu Shu Bai has not yet opened his mouth. Chen Jingxing first objected. "Light from nature is faster and faster. But who will protect the princess's highness?" This is the territory of Dongling. Will Yin Shoufu send someone to kill him? Even if the princess arrived in Lin'an safely, would Ning emperor believe the identity of the princess without a guard of honor? "
Yue Hu said: "if you have me, you can take a few more guards with high martial arts. Safety is not a problem. As for the second question... "
She looked at Yu Fu, and Yu Fu thought for a moment, "with Cheng Fa, he can prove my identity. Ning Chengzhi doesn't dare to do anything to us."Chen Jingxing said, "young master, I can't prove the identity of the princess now. Has the princess forgotten what he said in his letter? Yin Shuo tries to make Ning Di believe that he and you have known each other in the immortal Valley for a long time. When the young master will testify for your identity, Yin Shuo will also say that he is cheating. At that time, will emperor Ning believe young master or Yin Shuo? "
The answer is obvious.
Gu Shubai said: "Mr. Chen is right. If you can't prove your identity as the crown prince of Beili, your majesty may be against you. I can't let you take the risk of watching you go into the tiger's mouth. "
Ning Chengzhi's mind to Yu Fu has already been revealed. She escaped once. This time, Ning Chengzhi will never let her go easily.
Thinking of this, Gu Shubai was in a dilemma. Chen Jingxing said, "there is a way to try. Let's send someone to Lin'an now. Tell them the custom of the north glass, the reception outside the visible blood light, otherwise it is disrespectful. In this way, even if the young master can't stop him, Emperor Ning doesn't dare to be executed. "
Gu Shu nodded, "I agree. This is the best way we can think of now. If young master Ji can stop his Majesty's so-called false decapitation in this name, maybe there will be a turn for the better. "
"I don't agree."
Yu Fu turned his head and looked at him deeply. "You know it's a bad strategy. It's the reaction of Ning Chengzhi and Yin Shuo. It's too risky. Ning Chengzhi is a man who can be easily controlled, but Yin Shuo is not
……
Three days later, the time of beheading was set at noon.
Early in the morning, a messenger quickly entered the city, and the official document with the seal of Beili Chu Jun was sent to Ning Chengzhi, which made him frown frequently.
"Beili, what is this? It's a good thing to break so many rules and break me."
Duke Chi went up and said, "Your Majesty, what's in this document?"
"It's said that the highness of Beili is coming. If the emperor can't see the light of blood, any death penalty can't be executed. Otherwise, it's disrespectful."
Duke Chi said, "Beili, a little prince of the royal clan, is so domineering. As the crown prince, isn't there more rules?"
Ning Chengzhi sighed and wanted to burn the letter. He pretended not to see it. He was just about to throw it into the censer. When he saw that the sword with the red clay seal on it was wearing the jade Jue badge, he quickly took it back.
This emblem is exclusive to Beili royal family. A slender sword passes through a Chi dragon jade Jue, and the Chi dragon is coiled on the sword like a living one.
Ning Chengzhi always felt uncomfortable when he saw this emblem. He was subconsciously awed and did not dare to despise it.
Just like he did to Beili.
After thinking about it for a long time, he put the official document on the table again, "just go to spread my will and make fun of today's beheading. Anyway, the news that I'm going to chop all the doors of guhou's house has already spread out. I think Yufu will come back soon after hearing it. He doesn't have to play such a good trick. "
Mr. Chi said with a smile: "yes, Princess Zhenjiang is always in the immortal valley. Now she may be on the way to the imperial capital! It's important to pacify his highness Beili. He's from Xikun. "
When Ning Chengzhi heard the word Xikun, he trembled. "That's right. We can't let Beili and Xikun join hands. It's hard to protect my country. Go, go and make a proclamation
……
Dali Temple Prison.
The guards in the cell brought the food in advance, and all the people in guhou's house looked at it in silence.
The food is much richer than usual. The color of the vegetables looks very fresh. There are chicken legs and other meat dishes inside and a pot of wine outside.
The servants carrying the food were sent to their cells one by one, one, two, three
A total of six, father and son six people will go to the spring today, no one see this scene not sad.
"Eat it."
Gu huaijiang light, and then picked up chopsticks, Gu Jiuge and others with chopsticks, each in the cell quietly eat this meal.
The gaoler closed the door again, shook his head and went out with a sigh.
The way of heaven is unfair, good people don't live long, which is also helpless.
"You all go out and let the Duke and his son talk about being considerate. It's too late not to talk about it now."
An old jailer waved his hand, and the crowd retreated. There was no one else in the cell except the sound of dishes and chopsticks crashing.
Gu Hanmo came to Gu Jiuge's cell and said across the fence, "second brother, I'll pour you a glass of wine. Once upon a time, I was not good, and you didn't miss anything when drinking. I shouldn't say you. "
Gu Jiuge waved his hand with a smile, "I haven't drunk for a long time, and I don't want to drink today. Don't worry, I don't hate you. You always know how to practice sword. You should have a good drink today. "
Gu Han Mo shook his head, "I don't want to drink either."
When Gu Jiajun went to war, there were strict orders. No one was allowed to drink, from the chief General to the soldiers.
Now they are fighting a tough battle. There are only six of them.
In the dark light, I don't know who sighed, "fortunately, elder brother and Yu Fu are not here, there is still a trace of blood in the world."They are not afraid of death, but knowing that this is a losing battle, watching their father and brother die one by one still makes their hearts cool.
The sound of wine pouring into the glass is shallow and cold, and the strong aroma of wine overflows.
There's no good wine in the cell. It's the best wine that the prison guards can buy. It's strong and energetic. It's said that it won't hurt when they drink it.
Gu huaijiang raised his glass and said with a faint smile, "today is my father and son's last banquet. It's better to drink the same cup."
In his voice, there was a feeling of death and generosity. People asked themselves that they could not be as indifferent as he was. They still filled their glasses with wine and raised their glasses together.
The hot liquor slipped into his throat, and Gu Xiang and Gu Yi coughed together.
Gu huaijiang looked at him and said, "my father has been open and aboveboard all his life. He has never done anything unfaithful to you or unjust to others. He only feels that he owes you."
His eyes turned from Gu Xiang and Gu Yi to Gu Jiuge and others, and looked at everyone carefully.
"If you hadn't stopped your actions, at least today you don't have to die with your father. As a father knows, you are not afraid of death, but you don't want to die in obscurity. "
People are silent, they can't do Gu huaijiang's loyalty, but they know a word of filial piety.
It's not so much to die for being loyal to the king as to accompany Gu huaijiang to die for the sake of filial piety.
"Father."
Gu Yi suddenly said, "I'm afraid that when big brother and Xiao Yu Fu come back, they will see our bodies. Xiaoyufu is a girl. She must be scared. And There's Yunyan. I don't know if she'll find her husband after she's married. "
When Gu Jiuge heard him say this, he suddenly thought of Yin Jihe.
"When people die, they don't have to worry about the living."
When the door of the cell was opened, Yin Shuo stood in the light and shadow, with a smile on his face. He came step by step, like a ghost, like Shura.
"If you can think for the living, you shouldn't wait to die. Why don't you rebel?"
He walked through the door of everyone's cell and looked at them one by one. "Do you still expect Ning Chengzhi to find out his conscience and not kill you? I tell you that no matter who ascended the throne at the beginning is the first or the second prince, they are all equally afraid of guhou mansion. "
Finally, he went to Gu huaijiang's cell, squatted down slowly and looked at Gu huaijiang.
"You were doomed to lose a long time ago, long before the emperor was assassinated. I have never stopped you from exploring the truth of the assassination of the late emperor, because I know that no matter who ascends the throne, there is no room for Gu Houfu. It's ridiculous that you've been a hero of marquis I. if you're stupid and loyal, you've given all your life in vain. "
Gu huaijiang looked up and said, "you are right. No matter the eldest prince or the second prince, it is impossible for any emperor not to be afraid of the military power of Gu Hou's house, and so is the former Emperor. But the three of them have one thing in common. Do you want to hear it? "
Yan Shuo raised his eyebrows and said, "I'd like to hear it in detail."
Gu huaijiang put down his chopsticks and stood up slowly. He put on his prison clothes, which could not hide the prestige of the school of Confucian generals who were killed in the battlefield.
He said with a smile: "fear comes from fear. As long as there is no instigation from treacherous officials, and as long as there are loyal and upright officials like Mr. Ji in the court, no matter which one of them is, they can become a king of Ming Dynasty. The first emperor is the best example. "
Yan Shuo was stunned, and then laughed sarcastically, "Marquis Gu is really kind-hearted. You think such a person can become Mingjun. If they can, what about me? "
He finally told the truth in his heart, and everyone's eyes fell on him. He didn't care.
In his eyes, these are already dead.
Gu huaijiang said with a smile, "you are far worse than them, no matter your majesty or the prince of that year. They may be inferior to you in talent and wisdom, but there is always benevolence and righteousness in their hearts. You are cold-blooded and merciless. You plot against the former Emperor and intend to usurp the throne. Everyone will be punished. "
Gu huaijiang seldom used such fierce words to judge a person. As soon as Yin Shuo's face changed, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside.
Duke Chi came in from outside the prison and saw Yin Shuo come up here with a smile. "You're right here, Yin Shoufu. Your majesty has a word to say to you
Yan Shuo frowned, "what's the word?"
Duke Chi said with a smile: "well, it's not the highness of Beili. It's said that it's not suitable to see the blood light when the crown prince is sent out as an envoy, and the punishment of killing should not be imposed. So your majesty ordered to cancel today's beheading. Anyway, it's also a fake. As long as Princess Zhenjiang doesn't know, it's a fake, isn't it? "
Gu Jiuge said quickly, "what do you say is false?"
Duke Chi thought that as long as Yu was helped back, the guhou family would still be Jin Zunyu's father-in-law and uncle. He said, "today's beheading is false. Your majesty doesn't intend to kill you. She just wants Princess Zhenjiang to come back after hearing the news."
Gu Jiuge's eyes flashed a trace of joy. He quickly looked at Gu huaijiang, who also showed a trace of smile.
He knew that he was not wrong. Ning Chengzhi was not a ferocious prince, but was just blinded by Yin Shuo. Otherwise, how could he destroy them without conclusive evidence?"It's a fake. Your majesty doesn't want to kill us. Father is right!"
Gu Yi thought that Su Yunyan would not become a widow before he got married. He could not help rejoicing. Suddenly, he heard a puff and spatter of fresh blood on the fence of his cell.
It's father Chi's blood.
He looked at Yin Shuo strangely. The latter, holding a dagger in his hand, fell into Duke Chi's abdomen and gave him a cruel smile -
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear your Majesty's words."
