The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, it is me who turns back

10.

The few people staying in the imperial mausoleum were very boring. After all, Qi Wu was a general, so he went to Wu Bang to help train these stragglers who had lived in the wilderness for a long time.

Gu Zhizhou hid somewhere, he didn't see anyone all morning, and he didn't show up until the young general sent by Chen Puyu to inquire about the news came back.

"How is it outside?" Chen Puyu asked.

"Back to the Sixth Prince, as we expected. The Prime Minister's Mansion was stolen, and a warrant was posted outside. Now the whole city is under martial law, and the Imperial Forest Army is conducting house-to-house searches. The spies sent to the Eighth Prince's Mansion also gave news, saying that it was the Eighth Prince. An elite team was gathered overnight, about a hundred people. These people didn't move much, and compared with the big fanfare of the prime minister, they were too stable."

Chen Puyu nodded: "Understood, let the brothers guarding the imperial mausoleum work harder and keep an eye on the periphery."

"The drunkard's intention is not to drink, Li Gu made such a big noise, obviously he was looking for a thief, but he was actually covering for Chen Liangyu, looking for you." Fu Ziqiu smiled slyly.

"I'm laughing." Chen Puyu said: "Li Gu can't find anyone in the city, so he will definitely look at the imperial tomb. But it's not so easy to get in here. They are suspicious. At most, they sent troops to the imperial tomb. Keep guard on the outside, what we have to worry about is three days later."

Gu Zhizhou asked, "In three days?"

"According to the etiquette system, my... body will be buried in the imperial mausoleum after three days." Chen Puyu said solemnly: "Everyone in the palace will go to the imperial mausoleum to worship heaven that day, including the father. This is the only time for Li Gu and Lao Ba It is a legitimate opportunity to enter the imperial mausoleum."

After pondering for a moment, Gu Zhizhou said: "It's not necessarily a bad thing. If they want to enter the imperial tomb to take people, we can also take the opportunity to expose them in front of the emperor, and save time. Anyway, they will have to force the palace without you, I guess It will be three days later. But your soldiers, can you make it in time?"

Chen Puyu's complexion was a little dignified, and she couldn't say anything, she just said: "It's hard to say, three days is indeed too rushed, I can only try to hold them back."

"Where's Chen Kuang?" Fu Ziqiu knocked on the table: "If you let Chen Kuang stand by your side before they attack, wouldn't those Imperial Forest Army be able to use you?"

"Fu Daoist's thinking is too simple." Chen Puyu sighed, and said helplessly: "Father has been in poor health for the past two years, part of the military power has been handed over to Lao Ba, and part of the military power has been handed over to Liu He, the general of Zhenyuan. I have received the favor of the old eight, but it is actually his person. The father thought he was dividing power, but in fact he had already handed over the military power to others, and he looked so majestic, but the ground was already empty."

Gu Zhizhou frowned and leaned on the recliner, thinking about Chen Puyu's chances of winning.

If Li Gu and Chen Liangyu's people are everywhere in the ruling and opposition parties, then there is really no suspense in this battle.Chen Puyu's power has been suspended for many years, and only Qin Zhonghe's old army and an army far away in the sky are supporting him.If the army fails to arrive within three days, more than half of the chips will be cut off.

But looking at Chen Puyu's expression, he didn't look very worried, but when he mentioned it, he felt a little worried, and soon he relaxed.Gu Zhizhou was a little uncertain, he didn't understand where Chen Puyu's inexplicable self-confidence came from, did he still have a backup?

In terms of interests, Gu Zhizhou is not a person who can hide things, sometimes he will say what comes to mind, so he directly asked: "Do you have any other ideas?"

Chen Puyu was startled for a moment, then blushed, and said frankly: "Father, the eight princes, I am not the best in terms of talent, resourcefulness, or heart for the people. Speaking of which, the one who is really capable of sitting on the throne It belongs to my third brother, Chen Youyu. Unfortunately, the third brother died early and died of illness in the fourth year after I went to the border. The third brother was born with my mother, and we have been close since childhood, so after he left, he gave me something .”

Chen Puyu loosened her belt slowly, her coat was scattered and her neckline was also opened.He held the belt and laid it flat on the table. There was a large white jade safety buckle in the middle of the belt. With a slight twist, the safety buckle opened to both sides, revealing a piece of black iron inside.

"Third brother entrusted his confidant to hand it over to me at the border." Chen Puyu took out the thing and weighed it in his hand. It was solid and very heavy: "Xuan Tie Ling will be sent out when called. The third brother created it by himself." The Black Tie Army has infiltrated the Imperial Forest Army, Zhenyuan Army, and various imperial armies. I don’t know how many people there are, and I don’t know if the Black Tie Order is still effective after all these years. But I believe in the prestige of the third brother, why? You have to try your best.”

Being able to secretly insert|inject one's own power among so many armies, for so many years, dormant without anyone noticing, just waiting for the Xuantie Order to change the world.If this order is used in the right way, that's all. Once the mind of the order holder is not right, this move will easily overturn the country.

Gu Zhizhou took a breath, not knowing whether Chen Youyu was resourceful or the city was too deep.

"What's more..." Chen Puyu looked at Gu Zhizhou with a little hesitation: "I'm afraid I'll have to ask you two to help me out. If this happens, I'll go through fire and water in the future, and I will not hesitate to do so."

The battle is imminent, Chen Puyu has a lot of things to do, after a short conversation, he disappears all day long.In the evening, he stayed directly at Liang Fengsheng's side, saying that it was convenient for discussing matters.

Yan Yun said that he and Gu Zhizhou were frightened and didn't sleep well last night, and today they didn't say anything, and took the other half of Qi Wu's bed on their own initiative.

Gu Zhizhou was so aggrieved, he chased him and scolded: "You were fucking snoring last night and didn't sleep well? I didn't think you were noisy, but you beat me back! Honestly, get out, I'll beat you up lightly!"

After some pursuit, Gu Zhizhou ran into Fu Ziqiu head-on.

The latter frowned and pushed him away: "Stop the meeting and go into the room to sleep."

Gu Zhizhou twisted his head and stared at him: "You ordered me?"

Fu Ziqiu didn't want to talk nonsense, grabbed the back of Gu Zhizhou's neck and threw him back into the room, directly on the bed.Then he stepped to the side of the bed, folded his clothes and lay down without saying a word. The moment he closed his eyes, he poured out words without warmth: "Sleep, I won't touch you."

Gu Zhizhou was stunned on the bed for a long time.

The long-armed and long-legged one on the side lay like a pole, straight, as if to prove that he really didn't want to touch him, his arms were wrapped around his chest, only a few fingers were exposed.

"Hey," Gu Zhizhou poked him, "Are you really sleeping here?"

Fu Ziqiu didn't speak, turned over and turned the back of his head to him.

Gu Zhizhou felt that he should jump out of bed immediately, whether he pinched Yan Yun back or went out, but he couldn't stay with Fu Ziqiu.

They are no longer brothers who share the same hatred, there are rifts and gullies between them.

They are tit for tat, and they are like fire and water.They are different from gods and demons, life and death are difficult to overcome.

But Gu Zhizhou seemed to have nails under his buttocks, or someone sewed it on the bed for him.Why is Fu Ziqiu so frank?But he is up and down here!

He had a guilty conscience, but pretended to be aboveboard.

Gu Zhizhou held the corner of the quilt, and lay down beside Fu Ziqiu generously, as if it was no big deal, not at all pretentious.

The fire light in the room changed from thick to dim, and the candle finally dried up the last drop of tears, danced, and went out.

On the contrary, the darkness makes people feel at ease, and there is no movement around them.Gu Zhizhou couldn't judge whether Fu Ziqiu was asleep or not, on the contrary, any appearance of him was exposed.

He is like a prisoner who has been stripped naked and paraded through the streets, and there is nowhere to hide all the ugliness.

Gu Zhizhou felt that he was going to keep his eyes open until dawn tonight, and the culprit who couldn't sleep well was right next to him, how could he be able to sleep.

However, the development of things was always unexpected. It wasn't long before the room darkened, and before his beating heart even returned to its original position, Gu Zhizhou was drowsy amid wild thoughts.

His eyes were so sleepy that he couldn't open them, and there was only a stubborn slit left, as if he was struggling for the last time.

When his consciousness was erratic, Gu Zhizhou couldn't tell what night it was, and the familiar touch in his hand made him dream back to the ruins.

In the dream they were not separated, and the master was still alive and well, chasing and beating and scolding them all day long.

There is no Sword Master Lingji, and no Daoist Asura.

They practice sword and bicker as before, and they are inseparable.They are siblings, partners in life and death.

Cangshan bears snow, and the sky is brightly south.

They were just Gu Zhizhou and Fu Ziqiu.

In a daze, Gu Zhizhou closed his eyes and evenly spread the blanket in his hand over Fu Ziqiu's body. The movements were familiar, completely out of instinct.

This scene has been repeated too many times. He took care of Fu Ziqiu like this when he was a child, and he knew it by heart. All the trivial things have long been stored in his body's memory.

He can still restrain himself when he is awake, but it is completely revealed when he is in a trance.

Gu Zhizhou was fast asleep, his breathing was even, and he would have a little dream quiver from time to time.

If it was a good dream, he would rather never wake up again.

This is his unresolved obsession and unspeakable longing, the savage greed and desire that grows like crazy.

Suddenly, Fu Ziqiu opened his eyes.In the dark night, his pair of phoenix eyes shone with fragments of light, and the dots were as deep as a cold pool.

He clutched the front of his front quickly, and subconsciously breathed out. The complicated red spells appeared on his pale neck again, and gradually tended to spread to his cheeks.

Fu Ziqiu didn't dare to make too much movement, Gu Zhizhou was beside him, any movement could wake him up.

In the dark night, no one could see that Fu Ziqiu's gown embroidered with red acacia was blood-stained, and the bright color spread all over his body, instantly turning the black clothes into a bright red color.

Consciousness slackened for a moment, it was the spirit floating out of the body uncontrollably.Fu Ziqiu's willpower was astonishing, and he forced it back almost at the same moment.

But it didn't feel good, he was neither a god nor a man after all, and the burden of his soul being separated from his body was too heavy, and it was even more exhausting to force it back.

When the soul finally returned to its place, Fu Ziqiu's chest and back were already wet with cold sweat.

He was dazed, his eyes fixed on the void, and he vaguely glimpsed a pool of fire lake and a black iron long sword wrapped in flowing fire.

The scabbard vibrated, and the blade clanged, stirring up a pool of magma.

Fu Ziqiu's brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes gradually became clear. At the same time, the red mark lingering on his body slowly faded away, leaving only a little red mark on the corner of his mouth, like a woman's indelible rouge, deep and shallow.

Fu Ziqiu lifted the blanket and got out of bed, and stepped on the ground barefoot without making a sound.

Standing in front of the door, he glanced thoughtfully at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, his expression was puzzled and doubtful, and he felt that he was thinking too much.

Without opening the door, Fu Ziqiu went straight through the door.

The bright moonlight spread across the sky and the earth like a silver light. He was dressed in red like fire, but his complexion was frighteningly white. Standing there, he was obviously thin and thin.

He had to go back and take a look now, this was the third time—the third time the eternal karma that flowed through the depths of the hell realm surged.

For the first time, he discovered that a resentful spirit had escaped from his subordinates and came to the world to arrest him himself.

The second time in the palace, Qin Zhonghe's resentful spirits swarmed here and there, wanting to kill Chen Puyu.

The third time was just now, without any signs, except that the soul was separated from the body and was forced to show its original shape, there was no other induction.

Since the last battle between gods and demons, the fire of eternal life has been burning for 800 years without any disturbance, but it has happened three times in a row in just a few days.

Fu Ziqiu's face darkened. Could it be that the thing behind the door of reincarnation... is really going to be born?

·

Gu Zhizhou had a good night's dream, but he was still a little confused when he woke up.Subconsciously rubbing his eyes, he realized that he was face to face with Fu Ziqiu.

As if sensing his movement, Fu Ziqiu slowly opened his eyes.The narrow and long phoenix eyes are bright and beautiful, and there is no sleepiness at all, it is obvious that they have been awake for a long time.

"woke up?"

Gu Zhizhou paused, his eyes resting on the corner of Fu Ziqiu's mouth.

"Tsk." Gu Zhizhou frowned, didn't think much, and touched it casually: "What's wrong with your mouth?"

Fu Ziqiu was caught off guard by being touched, and it was too late to stop him.

"You..." Gu Zhizhou moved closer, staring at the red spot suspiciously, as if something was weird.

Fu Ziqiu grabbed the wrist, the residual warmth of his fingertips still remained on his lips, but he had already mercilessly taken that hand away.

He lied: "Get angry."

Gu Zhizhou's face darkened, and he simply sat up: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, there is no need to find such lame reasons."

Gu Zhizhou felt restless and bored.

Does Fu Ziqiu take him for a fool?At first glance, the imprint of that thing's original shape has not been dissipated, and you still lied to him that he was angry?No one seems to know.

The two of them used to talk about everything, and they had to tell each other about the big and small things, let alone the gaps, they hung around naked together all day long, and they didn't even have any privacy.

What now?It's really different today.

Gu Zhizhou was in a good mood after a good night's sleep, but now it's more than half gone.

He didn't even look at Fu Ziqiu, just walked over him and jumped off the bed.

Fu Ziqiu didn't stop him anymore, he didn't intend to explain too much whatever Gu Zhizhou thought.Then he sat up, straightened his clothes silently, and subconsciously licked the red marks on his lips, which were hot and stinging.

Gu Zhizhou put on his shoes and went out. He decided to reduce his contact with Fu Ziqiu if it was not necessary in the future. This person was too annoying for him.

The ledger was lost, Chen Puyu escaped, Li Gu seemed to be at the end of his rope, and Chen Liangyu had no other choice but to put all his eggs in one basket.

The two figured it out for a long time, and guessed that Chen Puyu would not be far away, and the most likely thing was that he was hiding in the imperial tomb on the outskirts of the city.There are many Qin Zhong and the old troops, and some poor soldiers who fought with Chen Puyu in the early years.

Unexpectedly, the old emperor self-righteously suppressed and dismantled the formerly prosperous power, exiled to various places, and finally crowded into the imperial mausoleum, and became Chen Puyu's protective umbrella.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Li Gu and Chen Liangyu are beyond their reach, so they can only secretly send troops to guard the periphery of the imperial mausoleum to investigate the movements inside.

Who knew that the inside and outside of the imperial mausoleum were so heavily guarded that not even a fly could fly in, let alone a spy.It seems to be covered with an airtight cover, and no wind can leak out.

There was no other way but to dispatch more elite troops. Three days later, the old emperor would personally go down to the imperial mausoleum to bury "Chen Puyu" and kill them all.

"The imperial mausoleum is surrounded by Chen Liangyu's elite soldiers." Wu Bang inspected and reported the situation outside: "A rough count, there are hundreds of people. But our people are very vigilant, and they can't detect it." Something should be urgent."

Chen Puyu waved his hand: "Let them be anxious, do what you should do, and make sure that no fly can fly in before the sacrifice."

"Yes." Wu Bang replied: "I would like to thank Big Brother Qi for this matter. After he raised the point, the guard's offense and defense became more stringent. Also, Brother Qi taught the brothers a set of military formations, which is very delicate. We will fight against each other when the time comes." It will definitely come in handy.”

Chen Puyu's expression softened a little when he heard the words, and he didn't say much, he only confessed: "Those three people should not be neglected, and if there is a request, they will agree. With their help, we will have a better chance of winning this battle."
