Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

At dusk at sunset, a carriage slowly passed by on the streets of the capital.

"Lingtang's condition..."

Li Changshou went to Gu's house quite a few times, but the last step never came true.

He didn't want to be too forceful, after all, he was still thinking about how to subdue Gu Fan and make him a diehard fan.

Prime Minister Cao's lesson from the past is in his heart, he can't lose the general just because of a momentary impulse, right?

"Your Highness, can the illness of a humble mother really be cured?"

In the carriage, Gu Fan sat respectfully aside. Now that he is in charge of the overall situation in the Imperial City Department, who made Li Changshou a hands-off shopkeeper?

But Gu Fan cares more about the illness of his mother who is dependent on him than having great power.

"There is a chance, but it still needs the cooperation of Lingtang. Although some extremely precious natural materials and earth treasures have been used to recuperate Lingtang's body these days, the last step is still missing for a complete cure."

Li Changshou sighed half-truthfully, but Gu Xiaoya still couldn't let go of that step for various reasons.

Then he will start with Gu Fan.

Compared to him, it is obvious that it would be more effective for Gu Fan to persuade him?

Sure enough, he has been worried about his mother's condition for many years, and now that his condition has improved, Gu Fan has already convinced Li Changshou.

How could he have thought that Li Changshou would carry private goods with evil intentions?
Hearing this, he immediately cupped his hands and bowed his head, "I hope His Highness will say clearly that I am willing to fully cooperate and repay Your Highness for saving my mother in the future!"

It can be seen that Gu Fan is not just talking about it, with his character, he will definitely repay his kindness.

And Li Changshou can also see that Gu Fan has outstanding ability, that's why he has so much patience to cultivate a relationship with Gu Xiaoya.

Seeing him like this, he pushed the boat forward and continued, "Now that Lingtang's body is almost the same, only the last step can completely cure her old injuries, but to completely cure her, you need to use a unique secret method, but..."

"Just? Is there any difficulty, Your Highness?"

Hearing hope, how could Gu Fan be willing to give up.

He didn't know what Li Changshou was thinking, he only knew that it would be very difficult if it involved a unique secret method.

"Gu is willing, but Lingtang seems a little reluctant."

Li Changshou couldn't help but sighed and shook his head, while observing Gu Fan's reaction, he believed that those who were eager to save their mother would not think too much about it.

Moreover, he had prepared enough during this time to win Gu Fan's trust.

"Your Highness, what do you mean, as long as the humble mother is willing?"

Gu Fan didn't expect it to be so simple, "The humble job thought..."

"What do you think? Since Gu is willing to make a move, he can't give up halfway. Otherwise, why waste so much time, do you know that the treasures of heaven and earth that are just given to Lingtang are invaluable?"

Li Changshou snorted coldly, looking displeased.

Gu Fan immediately bowed his head and explained respectfully, "Your Highness forgives the sin, it is the inappropriate words of the humble official. Your Highness's great kindness and virtue are unforgettable to the humble official family!"

He didn't dare to ask what kind of treatment method it was. After all, the unique secret method was not passed on in the Jianghu, and even the closest people might not be able to tell it.

Fortunately, Gu Fan understood this truth, otherwise Li Changshou would really not be able to explain it to him in detail.

How to say?
If he wanted to cure his mother, he had to rely on his Nine Suns Divine Art and Nine Suns Holy Body?

I really have to say, nine out of ten Gu Fan can't accept it, and it's not a problem to turn his face on the spot.

"You should also persuade Lingtang when you go back. Although Gu has treasured some natural and earthly treasures, they are all spent on Lingtang. If you don't take advantage of this time to completely cure the old wounds as soon as possible, even if you are Gu Helpless."

Li Changshou patted Gu Fan on the shoulder, just in time to return to the Imperial City Division.

Emperor Qianming was going to Qiuhun, and the Secretary of the Imperial City must accompany him, and he was also responsible for the safety of the emperor.

Inside and outside, we need to arrange manpower.

Gu Fan also knew this, nodded quickly and said: "Beizhi understands, when this autumn hunting is over, I will definitely persuade my mother well, and will not disappoint His Highness' good intentions."

He actually didn't understand why his mother declined several times, such a rare opportunity!
As for whether there is any hidden secret in it, Gu Fan has also noticed some, but even if he is extremely smart, he will never think of what Li Changshou's ambition is.

After all, in Gu Fan's eyes, Li Changshou's status is noble, he is a nobleman in the sky, and if he wants the wind or the rain, he can value their Gu family's family background?

……

In the northern suburbs of the capital, the Forbidden Army camp.

Several lieutenants were pacing back and forth. Not long ago, Xiao Pang, the commander of the imperial army, led the order into the palace.

As Xiao Pang's confidantes, they faintly felt something.

"The general hasn't returned yet?"

"You said that His Majesty will not really remove the general's official position?"

Several people are worried. There have been rumors in the market recently, but they don't really believe it.

"The madam sent someone to inquire again. What do you think happened to the general? Could it be that there was a conflict with the madam?"

It turned out that during this period of time, Xiao Pang almost stayed in the camp and never went back. It was okay for a day or two, but after a long time, as Xiao Pang's confidants, a group of people naturally noticed something strange.

"Probably not? Madam came to the camp in person yesterday, and her attitude and relationship with the general are very good."

If they couldn't figure it out, they naturally wouldn't think too much about it. After all, it was their general's family business. It happened that there was movement outside, and it turned out that it was Xiao Pang who came back from the palace.

Sure enough, soon Xiao Pang came in in armor, with no expression of joy or anger on his face.

"General!"

"General, why did His Majesty call you into the palace?"

Several lieutenants hurriedly asked, Xiao Pang waved his hand, and someone immediately understood and turned around to close the door. By the way, he returned after making sure that there was no one around.

Xiao Pang took the lead, took off his armor and changed into casual clothes, his complexion was not very good and he sat down heavily.

Seeing his expression, the lieutenants knew something was wrong.

Finally Xiao Pang said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty will go to the autumn hunt tomorrow, and you two will pick three thousand elite soldiers to accompany me!"

It turned out that Emperor Qianming asked Xiao Pang to lead troops to protect him when he was called into the palace this time, but who is Xiao Pang?

He is not one of those warriors with nothing but muscles and no brains. He has noticed that Emperor Qianming has doubts and suspicions about him before, and this time he was called into the palace to entrust him with such an important burden.

"General, His Majesty really trusts you!"

"Yes, General, those rumors outside are all nonsense, Your Majesty has really favored you!"

When the lieutenants heard this, they all expressed their congratulations, but later they found that Xiao Pang's expression was not at all happy, but rather gloomy.

Only then did they look at each other, not understanding why.

"Yes, Your Majesty really trusts me! Hmph!"

Fortunately, all the confidantes were present for such a rebellious irony, otherwise it would be another twists and turns if it reached the emperor's ears.

Xiao Pang snorted heavily, and then took a deep breath, "Let's all go prepare, and select the most elite men and horses in the camp. There is no room for loss in this autumn hunt."

"Yes! General!"

After a group of lieutenants left, Xiao Pang's face gradually turned ugly.

According to his intuition, this autumn hunt is full of mysteries. In previous years, the imperial forest army was solely responsible for it. Although they would send troops to protect them, they would send at most 1000 people.

This time, he was directly asked to lead 1000 soldiers, but the Imperial Forest Army, who was the emperor's personal soldier, only followed with [-] people.

If he objected, wouldn't it be...

Xiao Pang was startled and sweated all over his back, and then repeatedly suppressed the thoughts in his mind, he is not fully prepared yet, acting rashly would be a disaster for his life.

Suddenly, an undetectable movement in the handsome tent made Xiao Pang suddenly alert.

There is a secret letter pinned ten feet away from him, which was typed out by someone with profound skill.

After opening the secret letter, Xiao Pang's face changed slightly, and then it was shattered and destroyed, but he himself left quietly without disturbing anyone.

……

Inside a restaurant in the capital.

The crown prince of Daqian, the queen's heir, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all regarded Li Cheng as the future successor to the great line, sitting there tremblingly.

Sitting next to him was a person who looked ordinary in his 40s.

"Sixth brother really asked senior to tell me so?"

Li Cheng couldn't believe it, but he didn't dare to be suspicious.

The person in front of him is a grand master.

You can kill him with just a lift of your hand and you won't be caught. Even though he has practiced martial arts for many years, but he is too drunk and now he can only look at the seventh-rank skill.

"This seat is only responsible for passing on the message. If the prince does not believe it, he can confirm it by himself."

Li Changshou changed his face and identity. Li Cheng would not believe that the person beside him was his good sixth brother even if he was beaten to death. Hearing this, he smiled wryly and shook his head, "Senior calm down, junior is just in case, after all... ..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly found that he couldn't make a sound. Li Changshou glanced at him as a mysterious master, "Here we are."

In a simple sentence, the prince immediately understood.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to push the door and enter, hiding his head and showing his tail clearly because he didn't want people to find out his identity.

After the person came in, a terrifying sharpness bloomed from the eyes of the person.

"His Royal Highness invites Wei Chen to meet in this way. I don't know why?"

The person who came showed his true face, it was Xiao Pang, the commander of the forbidden army.

He glanced at Li Changshou, but found nothing, but his strong acumen as a great master made him frown slightly, feeling that the ordinary middle-aged man in the room was not simple.

Prince Li Cheng hurriedly stood up to greet him, while Li Changshou was an old god sitting there.

"Forgive Commander Xiao, this matter is of great importance, so I can only hide it in this way and ask you to meet in private."

While stretching out his hand to signal please sit down, he introduced Li Changshou, "Senior, this is Lord Xiao Pangxiao, the commander of the Imperial Army."

"Commander Xiao, this is the senior enshrined king in the Gufu."

After introducing the two parties, Li Changshou nodded in a calm manner on purpose, with a particularly stinky image of an outsider.

And Xiao Pang's eyes flashed sharply when he heard this, but he didn't say much, he just regarded it as a hero recruited by the prince.

"His Majesty the Crown Prince has something to say, and if His Majesty finds out about this humble minister's private visit, Long Yan will be furious!"

The secret letter directly named the disaster of blood and light, even though Xiao Pang had doubts, he still came alone. After all, he is a great master and he is not afraid of any conspiracy against him.

The prince glanced at Li Changshou slightly, then took a deep breath and said in a serious voice, "Father, I want to kill you!"

In a word.

Xiao Pang's expression didn't change at all.

But the prince then said, "Father called you into the palace this time, will you lead the army to go hunting in autumn?"

"Your Majesty's words today, I can pretend that I have never heard of it, and I have never come."

Seeing that Xiao Pang was about to leave, the prince immediately snorted coldly and said, "Commander Xiao, you know that Emperor Father sent nine thousand soldiers from the Royal Forest Army to the autumn hunting ground to ambush many days ago?"

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Xiao Pang paused slightly when he wanted to leave, and turned his head back with terrifying eyes, "Your Highness is serious?!"

"Naturally, everything is true, otherwise why would you be so cautious and private?"

The prince's face was serious and his voice was low, "I know that Xiao Commander's miraculous skills are unrivaled in the world, and he has already reached the level of a great master! And the father, the emperor, has also known it!"

"This autumn hunt is a trap specially set up by the emperor to kill the pillar of the country led by Xiao!"

As soon as a few words came out, Xiao Pang was shocked and angry at the moment no matter how deep the city was.

He was aware of it, but he didn't expect Emperor Qianming to kill him so quickly.

"His Royal Highness, if you disclose this matter to the humble minister, are you not afraid that His Majesty will be killed if he finds out?"

Xiao Pang was also a hero, he didn't panic when things happened, he didn't panic and lost his way, but immediately squinted his eyes and began to ponder.

The emperor wanted to kill him, although he was frightened and angry, but he would not be helpless, retreating [-] steps, his martial arts are world-class, and he will not be affected even if he breaks out of the siege.

At the same time, there is another question, "Since His Royal Highness knows that I am a great master, Your Majesty also knows that it is not easy to kill I!"

"Then if the father finds three great masters, and several elders from the royal family join forces to ambush him, does Commander Xiao think he can escape?"

The prince sneered, the great master is amazing!If you have the ability, you go to heaven!

One or two, don't pay attention to him, the prince!
