Dare to lose the country and live up to the emperor II

Zhan Pei is no stranger to this name. He remembers Gongsun Mingyue saying that Pang Ce just wanted to move his ancestral grave to Longtoushan in the hope of ascending to the throne.

"How do you know that Longtoushan is in the southwest?" Zhan Pei asked casually.

"Because it is very important to me, I have already predicted it." Pon Ce sighed, "But now there is the biggest problem."

"Since we know that Brother Gongsun is in Longtoushan, let's go find it. What's so difficult about it?" Zhan Pei didn't understand.

"Now we only know the direction of Longtou Mountain, but not the exact location." Ponce frowned.

"Is there a place in this world where your huge general can't find it?"

"Young Xia Zhan, I really can't find it. I've searched all the mountains in the southwest, but I just can't find where it is." Yang You interjected, thinking, Qingming Festival is coming soon He couldn't help but sweat in his heart.At this time, if Master Gongsun is really in Longtoushan, should the plan continue, alas.

"Is there such a strange thing?" Zhan Pei couldn't believe that this huge mountain would disappear out of thin air?

Pang Ce seemed to think of something suddenly, he looked at Zhan Pei and said, "I heard that you went to look for Yan Xi, why did you come back so soon?"

Zhan Pei didn't know whether he should take out the letter or not. Before his departure, brother Yan repeatedly asked him to show the letter to brother Gongsun as soon as he arrived in Caozhou, otherwise it would be too late. But now that brother Gongsun has disappeared, should he Should I show Ponce the letter?

Pang Ce looked at Zhan Pei's troubled face, and he smiled wryly: "Young Xia Zhan, now that Lord Gongsun is not here, do you think there is anything else that needs to be hidden from me?"

"This..." Zhan Pei hesitated for a moment before pulling out the letter from his pocket, "This is a letter from Brother Yan to Brother Gongsun. You can take a look."

Pon Ce took the letter, carefully took out the letter paper from inside, and unfolded it gently.

Zhan Pei and Yang You also squeezed past, wanting to see what Yan Xixin had said.

Gongsun Mingyue:

Zhan Pei has already told me about the matter. Nine toads are indeed unique to Nan Xia, but this kind of poison is not native to Nan Xia. I heard that Li Binghao, the monarch of Nan Xia, brought back a poison from the Central Plains more than ten years ago. Girl, Li Binghao loves her very much, he almost obeys every word, and obeys everything, but this girl disappeared for no reason on a stormy night. Li Binghao once sent people to inquire about her, but there was no news. Yan Xi believes that this girl should be raising Jiuto Toad, because since this girl came, Nan Xia has had such malicious intentions.Also, there seems to be no antidote for this kind of drug, so you must be careful.

At present, there is a problem with the South Xia peace talks. Li Binghao has set the time for Qingming Festival. I think he must have calculated it when he set this time. As for what he calculated, I don’t know yet. It probably has something to do with some major events in the court. , I hope you can inform me as soon as possible if you have any news. After all, peace talks are not easy, and I don't want to fail.

And don't worry, I'm still safe in Nanxia. Li Binghao hasn't sent anyone to monitor me yet, but I don't know about the letters. Fortunately, Zhan Pei came here this time, otherwise I don't know what will happen whats the matter.

Gongsun Mingyue, let me ask one more question at the end, is Xiaoman okay?Is Ponze treating her well?

琰喜

Pang Ce handed the letter to Zhan Pei, he turned around and walked out the door, Gongsun Mingyue, do you know that you are in danger now.

"This time I went to look for Brother Yan, and I found that there were always some sneaky people in front of Brother Yan's mansion. They looked suspicious but couldn't find any flaws. I think Nan Xia must have planned this time. Otherwise, why have they been fighting for so many years, and now they suddenly ask for peace talks? Could it be that they are really afraid that you will fail as a general?" Zhan Pei carefully collected the letter.

Pang Ce smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, Li Binghao is not afraid of anyone, even if you put a knife on his neck now, he will still fight for you."

"General, it seems that Nan Xia has planned this time." Yang You said anxiously.

"That's right," Ponce sighed, "They are also watching Longtoushan."

"What's the secret of Longtou Mountain?" Zhan Pei couldn't figure it out. Could it be that Li Binghao also wanted to move his ancestor's grave here?

Pang Ce glanced at Zhan Pei, then shook his head gently: "Didn't Gongsun Mingyue tell you?"

Zhan Pei turned his head around in embarrassment, and smiled awkwardly: "I just said a little bit."

"Hehe," Pang Ce turned around and said solemnly, "there is a saying in the folk that 'set up the dragon's head and occupy the dragon's nest'. Many people think that it means moving the ancestral tomb to Longtou Mountain, but it doesn't mean that at all."

"That's not what you mean?" Zhan Pei was taken aback, "Is there another way to say it?"

Pang Ce looked at Zhan Pei and said with a smile, "It seems that our Mr. Gongsun also has something he doesn't know."

"Come on, what's going on?"

"The so-called folk rumors are just to mislead others. If it is so easy to explain, wouldn't everyone be an emperor?" Pang Ce smiled contemptuously. Before this dragon's cave has been sealed, outsiders can't find it at all, but three months ago, there were rumors among the people that the dragon's cave will be opened on the day of Qingming Festival, so many people are looking for the dragon's cave, because as long as they can If you find the dragon's lair, you can become the emperor."

"Then you said before that you want to move the ancestral grave?" Zhan Pei looked displeased.

"If I don't spread the word about moving the ancestral grave, won't more people want to fight with this king?"

"You..." Zhan Pei was right when he thought about it, sometimes misleading others can buy him more time.

"Hey, let's not talk about Dragon Cave now, I don't even know where Longtou Mountain is." Pon Ce sighed deeply.

"What should we do now?" Zhan Pei jumped in front of Pon Ce and said, "You are the general of the town, you can't just watch Nan Xia's plot succeed, and then go on a killing spree, right?"

"Of course not." Pang Ce said righteously, "Now we will divide into two ways. Yang You, you and your subordinates will continue to search for Longtou Mountain in the southwest, and don't let go of any clues."

Pang Ce thought about it and continued: "Zhan Pei and the king are looking for the mechanism of the secret room together, and there are more people ready, hoping to move those big rocks away."

"Also, call Suzaku over here." Pang Ce ordered, "I wrote to him a few days ago, and he arrived last night."

"General, I'm here." Just as Pang Ce finished speaking, Suzaku was already standing at the door.

Zhan Pei looked at the strange man in front of him, with a heroic expression on his face, although he was wearing ordinary clothes, he showed the air of a general.

Suzaku looked at Zhan Pei and nodded slightly.

"Suzaku, your task is to search for any suspicious people in the city, including those staying at the hotel, teahouses, and brothels. Don't let anyone go. I want to find out where is that Zhuge Yan?" Pang Ce called Suzaku forward, Whisper in his ear.

"This subordinate understands, let's do it immediately." After saying that, Suzaku jumped up and disappeared through the door.

"General Pang, should we start immediately?" Zhan Pei wanted to find Gongsun Mingyue immediately, and didn't want to delay for a moment.

"Let's go then."

......

After several days of no dreams and several days of self-cultivation, Gongsun Mingyue's body has already healed. When he wakes up in the morning, he feels refreshed. He opens the bamboo door, and there is another endless bamboo sea. The faint humidity in the air makes him feel refreshed. Take it easy from the bottom of your heart.

"Gongsun Gongzi, you're awake." Qingqing called out excitedly from under the bamboo building.

"Miss Qingqing, you got up really early!" Gongsun Mingyue said with a smile.

"I'm used to it," Qingqing ran up the bamboo building with a kettle in hand, "Only when you wake up early can you collect the freshest dew." Qingqing showed Gongsun Mingyue the kettle.

"I don't know why Miss Qingqing collects dew?" Gongsun Mingyue asked curiously.

"I've said it many times, don't always call me a girl, just call me Qingqing." Qingqing glanced at him, blushing and said, "I'll call you Big Brother Gongsun too, okay?"

"Of course you can. I also find it awkward to always call me some young master."

"Brother Gongsun, this dew is very effective. It is usually used to make tea, and it tastes good." Qingqing took the kettle into the kitchen, "And ah, my mother only drinks tea made with dew, even the clear spring in this mountain no."

Gongsun Mingyue thought to herself, this Mrs. Luwu is really fastidious, and she should not be an ordinary person, otherwise, whoever has the ability to make tea with dew.

"Where's your mother?" Gongsun Mingyue asked curiously.

"She went to the mountains to gather medicine early in the morning."

When she said this, Qingqing had already put the dew into the pot, ready to boil and make tea.

"Qingqing, I feel in good spirits today, can I walk around?" Gongsun Mingyue asked tentatively.

A few times ago, when I wanted to walk around, Mrs. Luwu always blocked me. Today she is finally gone, so I always look for a chance to look around, maybe I can find a way out.

"But..." Qingqing still wanted to say something, but seeing Gongsun Mingyue's begging eyes, she was shaken, so she raised her head and nodded with a smile, "Okay, but don't go far, so as not to get lost."

Gongsun Mingyue walked out of the bamboo gate with a smile, and walked down the bamboo building slowly, wondering where to start.

Gongsun Mingyue walked around aimlessly, through a small bamboo forest, and then through a meadow full of wild flowers. The climate here is really good, it must be like spring all the year round.

The mountain that looks very close is actually far away when walking. I thought I would walk around the top of the nearby mountain, but after walking for a long time, I didn’t reach the nearest mountain. Every time I looked up, I felt that It's close at hand, but it's just out of reach.

Gongsun Mingyue thinks about it, let's forget it, if he walks like this, even if he walks to death, he probably won't be able to reach the foot of the mountain.

He wanted to go back, but when he turned around, he found that the way he had come had disappeared. As Qingqing said, he was lost.
