In the inn in the city, Gu Junci, who was dressed in black, opened the window close to the street, staring at the rows of imperial guards running past on the street, and then closed the window.

Lu Qingxuan, who was dressed as a servant, was still trembling at the moment. Seeing Gu Junci standing in front of the window and hearing the footsteps outside the window, his eyes turned red with fright:

"Brother Gu, Brother Gu, you said my father, you said my father was real... did he really rebel?"

Gu Junci turned around, reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Lu Qingxuan lowered his head and couldn't help crying: "My father, what my father has always taught me is to be wise and protect yourself, and not to cause trouble. Even he himself said that suffering is a blessing. Why, why did he rebel."

Gu Junci stretched out his hand to hug him into his arms, and patted him comfortingly: "There may be a misunderstanding about this matter, someone must have framed the Duke, don't worry, stay in the city first, I'll go find out the news, Don't go anywhere."

Lu Qingxuan quickly shook his head: "Brother Gu, I'm afraid, why don't we leave the city?"

Gu Junci is serious: "The more dangerous the place, the safer. If they can't catch you, they will definitely think that you have left the city, and they will definitely send troops to intercept it. At that time, it will really be over. It doesn't matter whether the Duke is really rebellious or not. You are still being framed, I promised him to take care of you, I will never break my promise. You listen to me, stay here, anyone who comes will be opened."

Lu Qingxuan nodded vigorously, indicating that he would be obedient.

Only then did Gu Junci feel relieved, and then he left the inn and went to Linyang Prince's Mansion.

It's just that from a distance, he saw that the outside of Linyang Prince's Mansion was also guarded by heavy soldiers, which made him feel very bad.

Could it be that the emperor will implicate King Linyang because of Yan Huai's matter, and arrest him as well?

After thinking about it, Gu Junci decided to enter the Linyang Prince's Mansion to find out, but because of the heavy guards, he had to lie in ambush outside, and waited for everyone to rest at night, then changed into night clothes and secretly sneaked into the palace.

"Your farewell."

Just as Gu Junci landed in the courtyard of the palace, he heard a familiar voice behind him, forcing him to take off his mask, turned around and looked at Huo Qingling standing in the corridor, and walked towards him:

"Third brother."

Huo Qingling stared at him for a while, and then said: "Why are you back? Didn't foster father tell you to take good care of Mr. Lu?"

Gu Junci clasped his fists and said, "I'm worried about my adoptive father. During the day, I saw heavy soldiers guarding outside the palace, so I waited to come at night."

Huo Qingling sighed: "Your Majesty has decreed that the adoptive father will dispatch troops to Fan Yang to catch the rebels within three days. The heavy troops outside the palace are here for you."

"For me?" Gu Junci was very puzzled.

Huo Qingling didn't explain much, and directly brought Gu Junci into Linyang King's study.

Although there are heavy guards outside the palace, after all, the emperor's little uncle lives in the palace. No matter how courageous the imperial guards are, they dare not trespass into the palace, so the palace is relatively safe.

The Linyang King in the study had aged a lot in an instant, and he was a little surprised when he looked up to see Gu Junci. Just as he glanced outside, Huo Qingling said:

"Father, don't worry, no one noticed when the thirteenth brother came."

King Linyang heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. His Majesty not only searches the whole city for Young Master Lu, but also looks for you."

Gu Junci was a little puzzled: "What does Your Majesty want me for?"

King Linyang: "You have a close relationship with Young Master Lu, and at Hanyang Pass, Xu Yanqing also escaped because of kidnapping you, so His Majesty suspects... Is Young Master Lu okay?"

Gu Junci hurriedly saluted and said: "Brother Qingxuan is okay, but he seems to be frightened, but he is still stable."

King Linyang: "That's good. I watched this child grow up. It would be a pity if he died because of his father. We don't know what happened to Fan Yang, but you can't stay here." Luoyang."

Gu Junci was a little surprised: "Father means..."

King Linyang hesitated to speak, he just raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Qingling, he immediately understood, and left the study after clasping his fists and saluting, closing the door and guarding outside.

Gu Junci looked at Linyang Wang's haggard appearance at this moment, and couldn't help opening his lips: "Does the foster father have something to tell me? Do you want me to kill Qingxuan?"

King Linyang shook his head: "I went to the palace to meet His Majesty again in the afternoon, and the matter of Lu Wenyuan reminded us, so I propose to His Majesty to let you go to Lanling."

Gu Junci's expression was astonished, it was hard to believe what he heard: "What?"

The king of Linyang said seriously: "The Xiao family of Lanling holds a heavy army and occupies an important position. In the past, because the queen mother and the old lady of the Xiao family were still there, they didn't take precautions. But now that Lu Wenyuan rebelled, they had to guard against the Xiao family of Lanling. .”

Gu Junci carefully analyzed Linyang Wang's words in his mind, and then tentatively said:

"The foster father asked me to go to Lanling to monitor them?"

King Linyang nodded solemnly: "You have a very close relationship with Young Master Xiao, and you have saved their lives. They will not guard against you. I have saved the life of Young Master Lu's family to His Majesty. After that, you can borrow In the name of sending Lu Qingxuan to Lanling, His Majesty will also issue a notice to hunt you down, so you won't have to worry about the future."

Gu Junci's heart beat a little faster: "If...if they have..."

King Linyang: "Kill them, and leave no one behind."

These five words were like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. Gu Junci, who was so shocked, didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but just looked straight at Linyang King.

"This king knows that this is a bit difficult for you, but you have to know that there is only one way to save Lu Qingxuan. As long as he goes to Fanyang, no matter on the road or in Fanyang city, I will kill him. Understand? ?” said Linyang Wang.

Gu Junci looked straight into Linyang King's eyes, and then solemnly gave him a fistful salute, which was regarded as an acceptance of the job.

But at this moment, Gu Junci realized that the King of Linyang was also a person who would do anything to keep his own country.

He can save, and of course he can kill. The only one who knows where Lu Qingxuan is staying is the King of Linyang. He knows that Gu Junci attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and will not ignore Lu Qingxuan, so he entrusts this job to him.

If Gu Junci does not agree, I am afraid that Lu Qingxuan will appear in front of the emperor soon.

After coming out of the study, Huo Qingling looked at Gu Junci's dignified expression, and couldn't help reaching out to pat him on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, everything will pass."

Gu Junci nodded: "Then I'll go and pack my things first, brother Lu is still waiting for me."

Huo Qingling responded, then watched Gu Junci walk towards the courtyard where he lived, and then entered the study, looked at Linyang Wang with some puzzlement and said:

"Is foster father really worried about him?"

"Besides him, there is no better candidate," Linyang King said, "If someone else is there, he will be eradicated soon. There is only Jun Ci, and they will not guard against it."

Huo Qingling said: "You can resign from him..."

King Linyang sighed: "This is what I arranged for His Majesty. It's the last move. I just hope that when Your Majesty is in trouble in the future, Junci can look at my face and help."

Looking at Linyang Wang's haggard face, Huo Qingling couldn't help but sigh.

After all, he also knows that the emperor has ruled out dissidents in the past ten years, and the court has already been dominated by treacherous ministers, and he has framed Zhongliang everywhere. Now that Lu Wenyuan has started, he is afraid that things will get out of hand in the future, and the world will really be destroyed by then. Chaos.

After packing up his luggage, Gu Jun said goodbye to King Linyang, then sneaked out of Prince Linyang's mansion and returned to the inn.

Lu Qingxuan saw Gu Junci coming in from the window sill with his luggage on his back, and asked in confusion: "Brother Gu, this is..."

Gu Junci said as if nothing had happened: "Because I can't find you, His Majesty also ordered to see me, but I am worried about you. My foster father will lead troops to Fanyang tomorrow. Do you want to stay in Luoyang, or where are you going?"

Lu Qingxuan stood in front of Gu Junci in surprise: "Then...then will my father be killed by His Majesty like Marquis Jingbian?"

Gu Junci nodded and remained silent.

Lu Qingxuan naturally understood, and quickly stabilized his mind: "I'm going to Fan Yang, even if I die, I will follow my father."

Gu Junci hurriedly grabbed him: "If you are going to die, why do you go to Fan Yang, just go out from here, shout you Lu Qingxuan, someone will naturally bring you into the palace, when my adoptive father brings your father back, you We happen to die together."

Lu Qingxuan stared straight at him, not knowing what to say for a while.

Gu Junci said seriously: "I saved you because I want you to live, understand? We can't go to Fanyang right now, the first thing I want to do is to save your life, only you are alive. Only you can live without worries. Alive, maybe there is still a possibility to meet."

Lu Qingxuan stared at Gu Junci in a daze, and said after a long time: "Then...then go to my sister's place."

Gu Junci's heart skipped a beat, and he asked tentatively, "Your sister?"

Lu Qingxuan nodded vigorously: "In the scientific examination last year, my sister married a son from a side branch of the Zheng family in Xingyang. That son was awarded a Jinshi, and now he is a county magistrate in Songzhu County, Lanling."

Gu Junci turned his head away with a somewhat unnatural expression, and after adjusting his mood, he said: "Okay, we will sneak out of the city to Songzhu County tomorrow morning to find your sister."

"Then my father..."

"Don't worry, as long as the Duke is fine, you will meet again." Gu Junci said.

Lu Qingxuan looked straight at him with tears in his eyes: "Really?"

Gu Junci nodded: "By the way, if you need something, I'll go to your house and bring it to you."

Lu Qingxuan: "It's so late, it will be dangerous."

Gu Junci smiled: "Don't be afraid, can't you trust my skills?"

Lu Qingxuan thought for a while, and then seriously told Gu Junci everything he wanted, waiting for him to write it down one by one, and then disappeared into the night again.

When Gu Junci came back again, he already had an extra burden in his hand, besides the soft ones, he also packed a few sets of Lu Qingxuan's clothes.

Before dawn, Gu Junci changed into the armor he usually wore to the military camp, and asked Lu Qingxuan to change into the clothes of a soldier before heading to the gate of the city together.

Maybe it was because of guarding, or maybe it was because the whole city was searching for Lu Qingxuan, so there were no people on the street, so the officers and soldiers guarding the city stopped them just in case.

Gu Junci showed them his waist card and said seriously: "Do you know that Wei Guogong rebelled in Fanyang, and I was ordered by my adoptive father to go to the military camp to deploy soldiers and horses."

Those people looked at Gu Junci carefully, and then at the waist badge, but there was nothing to stop them.

After all, the hunting notice mentioned by King Linyang has not yet been issued, and Gu Junci is still the thirteenth Taibao of the Prince Linyang's mansion, so they let them go immediately without further obstruction.

After leaving the city, Gu Junci also led Lu Qingxuan on his horse. However, at a fork in the road five miles outside the city, there was a man standing at the intersection with a Yanyue knife in his hand. One man and one horse blocked their way. Can't see who that person is.

Lu Qingxuan looked at Gu Junci with some concern, but felt that he was also stunned, but he quickly calmed down, comforted Lu Qingxuan and said:

"Don't be afraid, I'll go and have a look."

Lu Qingxuan quickly nodded in response, Gu Junci jumped off the horse holding the Bai Zejian in his hand, and walked towards the person blocking the road.

After getting closer, Gu Junci finally saw who the person in front of him was, and took two steps back in shock.

Xie Suiyun glanced at him, then looked at Lu Qingxuan behind him, and couldn't help laughing: "I guessed right, you really don't plan for yourself, do you want to take him away?"
