With the presence of Prime Minister Xie who deliberately wanted Marquis Jingbian to die, things would only get worse.

Just as Xiao Boxu opened his mouth to refute two words, he heard the emperor angrily shout that enough is enough, and the main hall became much quieter.

Gu Junci raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yuan, and happened to meet Xiao Yuan's eyes, he said softly: "Is there no turning point for things?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head, showing embarrassment, now the emperor is determined to question Jingbianhou, the appearance of these eighteen riders is to hand him a murderous knife, the emperor must kill Jingbianhou.

Gu Junci frowned, all he could think of was Xu Yanqing who was still in prison, if things didn't turn around, he must rescue him as soon as possible.

There was anger in the emperor's eyes, and he said, "Since they want me to reverse the case for Marquis Jingbian so much, how can I not understand the public opinion, come here and take Marquis Jingbian's family to the tower."

As soon as this remark came out, Xie Suiyun took the order to leave the main hall and go to the prison to lead people, while the other people in the main hall looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Gu Junci looked at Xiao Yuan, and then looked at the Linyang King. Originally, the Linyang King had a solemn expression, but now he looked even more serious, stroked his beard lightly, and then saluted and said:

"Your Majesty, with the strength of the eighteen cavalry, if they want to rob the prison, I'm afraid it will be an easy task, but now they just need His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the case, and please don't blame Your Majesty."

The emperor's eyes fell on King Linyang, with a smile on his face: "Little emperor, if everyone follows the example of Marquis Jingbian's Eighteen Riders, they will threaten me whenever there is a problem, and make me, the emperor, right?" Too easy to handle?"

King Linyang: "I don't mean that."

"His Marquis Jingbian knew that I was patrolling the border, but he didn't patrol more. He gave the Rong and Di people an opportunity to put me in danger. This is no different from the method used by the Zhuozhou Yan clan to frame the late emperor!"

The emperor was so furious that King Linyang didn't speak again.

The emperor laughed mockingly, and glanced at those people in the main hall one by one: "Some people hold their own soldiers and horses, and they are lawless, and even threaten my head. This is no different from rebellion."

Gu Junci's heart was covered with a cloud, and he only felt a foul breath hovering in his chest, and nothing could go well.

It wasn't until Xie Suiyun came to reply to the decree that the emperor asked everyone here to go up the tower with him, to see how arrogant the eighteen riders lined up on the tower were.Mrs. Jingbianhou and his wife were standing on the tower in prison uniform, standing facing the wind and looking at the eighteen riders below the tower. The moment they saw Jingbianhou, they all got off their horses and saluted Jingbianhou, which made the neighbors The standing emperor laughed out loud.

Jing Bianhou looked solemn, but after being in prison for a few days, there were many silver strands in his hair. He saluted the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, they are the lieutenants of the minister, please don't blame them, Your Majesty."

The emperor's eyes fell on the eighteen riders under the city tower, and he sighed: "Oh, Marquis Jingbian, what do you want me to do? It is to acquit you and go with them in the clouds, but I have the heart to let you go." You, let me know who is the culprit who revealed my whereabouts to Rong Di, or you will be put back in the cloud because Shibaqi threatened me under the tower. What should I do?"

Jing Bianhou looked solemn, and when he raised his eyes to look at the emperor, he naturally looked at Prime Minister Xie.

Prime Minister Xie was taken aback by this: "What Jing Bianhou means is that I revealed it to the Rongdi people. It's a joke. I went on tour with His Majesty. If I revealed it, wouldn't I also get involved in it?"

Gu Junci stood quietly, listening carefully to what all of them said, hoping to help Jing Bianhou get rid of the crime.

However, after listening to it for so long, he actually felt that this matter was really in a dead end, and there was no possibility of turning over.

Prime Minister Xie was with the emperor, and he had no reason to reveal his whereabouts to the Rongdi people. As he said, he couldn't run away even if the emperor was in danger.

But Jingbian Hou Zhongjun patriotic has no reason to disclose the emperor's whereabouts to the Rongdi people. Moreover, he mobilized so many soldiers and horses to besiege Hanyang Pass in a short period of time, he must have got the news early in the morning.

The most regrettable thing right now is that Rong Di's soldiers and horses have already evacuated, and the messenger soldier who was arrested at the beginning also committed suicide, and there is no clue to find any clues.

Eighteen riders approaching Hanyang Pass to seek justice for Jingbian Hou seems to have offended the emperor. Could it be said that Jingbianhou really had to be wronged to death?

At this time, Gu Junci felt deeply powerless, and it was very uncomfortable to watch someone die alone.

After getting off the tower, the others accompanied the emperor back to the General Military Mansion, only Xiao Yuan and Gu Junci fell to the rear, and they couldn't help sighing when they saw the crowd leaving in a mighty way.

Gu Junci put his hands on his hips, his face full of helplessness: "I don't even have the ability to save people, because no one will listen to me."

Xiao Yuan: "What His Majesty said just now at the General Military Mansion was also for my father."

Gu Junci turned his head sideways and met Xiao Yuan's eyes: "What should we do now?"

Xiao Yuan put his hands behind his back and sighed, and said after a long time: "Tomorrow we will set up camp and return to Lanling. We only hope that we will be more stable in the future."

Gu Junci looked into his eyes, and after a long time, he raised his lips and smiled, and they walked towards the General Military Mansion together, but just when they reached the gate of the General Military Mansion, they met Xie Suiyun who sent Jing Bianhou and the others back to the prison.

His eyes fell on Xiao Yuan who was beside Gu Junci, he narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.

Xiao Yuan was naturally not afraid of him, and looked up at him slightly: "Young Master Xie is planning to fight with me?"

Xie Suiyun sneered: "I'm just advising you to take care of yourself, Gu Junci, right now you are the thirteen Taibao of King Linyang, and in the future, you can only support each other with me, and you have nothing to do with him, the Lanling Xiao family. Don't come."

Gu Junci stared straight at him, stroked his hair, and just walked towards the yamen, but Xiao Yuan grabbed his belt and brought him back.

Xiao Yuan looked at Xie Suiyun's sullen eyes, raised his lips and smiled slightly: "Young Master Xie, no, it's General Xie now, Brother Gu is the thirteenth Taibao of King Linyang, not your disciple of Xie's family, there is no need to listen to your calls .”

"Take your hands away." Xie Suiyun clenched his fists, his eyes locked on the hand on Gu Junci's waist.

Xiao Yuan was indifferent, and even dragged Gu Junci to the yamen. Gu Junci looked back at Xie Suiyun, feeling that his eyes could burst into flames.

Gu Junci was a little worried that Xie Suiyun would rush in, so he was ready to escape.

In fact, Xie Suiyun really rushed in, with wind in his fist, he attacked Xiao Yuan.

However, it stopped when it was about to approach, with a strange look on its face.

Gu Junci originally grabbed Xiao Yuan's sleeve and was about to dodge, but when he saw Xie Suiyun's reaction, he subconsciously turned his head and followed his gaze.

Prime Minister Xie stood under the corridor, looking at Xie Suiyun with a sullen expression on his face, causing Xie Suiyun to retract his fists and walked towards Prime Minister Xie.

Gu Junci heaved a sigh of relief, and Xiao Yuan took back his hand on his waist, and looked at him apologetically:

"Brother Gu, please don't mind."

Gu Junci smiled: "I don't mind, it's just that when you and Xie Suiyun choked, I felt that you were really only 17 years old."

Xiao Yuan's face became gloomy: "Can you not mention my age?"

Gu Junci: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yuan: "Every time you mention my age, you always treat me like a child, but I'm only nine months younger than you."

Gu Junci was stunned: "How do you know, I am nine months older than you, I haven't told you."

Xiao Yuan was slightly startled, looked away, changed the subject and said, "King Linyang should have gone back to the barracks, brother Gu, don't you want to prepare?"

Gu Junci originally wanted to ask more questions, but he didn't want Xiao Yuan to mention Gu Junci immediately remembered what he was going to do next, swallowed what he wanted to ask in an instant, and only clasped fists with Xiao Yuan. , turned around and left the General Military Mansion, heading towards the barracks.

*

As dusk gradually rises, half of the sky against the afterglow of the sky is fiery red.

Gu Junci reappeared at the door of the cell with a food box, but the two soldiers guarding the door seemed to turn a blind eye to him and did not stop him at all.

After Gu Junci walked in, he backed out again: "Why don't you stop me."

The soldier said: "General Xie said that Mr. Gu has good intentions, so there is no need to stop him."

Hearing what the soldier said, Gu Junci only felt a slight heat in his heart. Although he knew that Xie Suiyun was not here at the moment, he still looked back at him.

He nodded and smiled, and walked into the cell with the food box.

There were two dim candles hanging outside the cell, and there were bursts of insects buzzing nearby. Just a moment after Gu Jun resigned and entered, he heard the cracking of the earthen pot and the noise of the jailers in the cell.

The two soldiers guarding the gate looked at each other, completely unaware of what was going on inside, but still left one guarding outside, and the other rushed in with a weapon in hand, but just as they stepped down the steps, they saw the jailer exiting from the corner , and Xu Yanqing who held Gu Junci and walked out slowly.

His eyes were red and full of anger, the porcelain piece in his hand was pressed against Gu Junci's neck, and his other hand tightly strangled him.

Xu Yanqing roared angrily: "Get out of the way, this is the Thirteenth Taibao of King Linyang, if you dare to step forward, I will kill him!"

Seeing this situation, the soldier hurried out of the cell and asked someone to call Xie Suiyun over.

However, when Xie Suiyun arrived, Xu Yanqing had already held Gu Junci out of the cell, stood in the open space, surrounded by a group of armed soldiers.

The group of soldiers with bows and arrows obviously came prepared to prevent people from robbing the prison, but at the moment Xu Yanqing is still holding Gu Junci hostage. These people know Gu Junci's current identity, so naturally they dare not act rashly.

Until Xie Suiyun came, with anger in his eyes, he pointed a gun at Xu Yanqing and said, "Let him go, otherwise, I will kill you."
