Autumn Moon White

"A few days ago, uncle, didn't you keep saying that Emperor Yongxuan was too deceitful, and you want to show him some color? Why did he lose his ambition when he heard that the crown prince was imprisoned today?" Ji Ruyuan stared at Lord Chen, and said in a deep voice.

Chen Guozhu's face turned pale, he didn't dare to look at Gu Zijie, and hurriedly said: "The widow was just joking at the time, why bother to say it again, it just hurt the friendship between the two countries."

"Right now, the armies of Jiang and Chu have reached the border of Chen State, and the Sui army is exhausted. If we attack together, the Sui army will be defeated. The eternal dominance of Chen State is here. Is uncle willing to lose the good opportunity at his fingertips and let the tiger go back to the mountain?" , so that future generations will continue to be bullied by Sui State?" Ji Ruyuan condemned every word.

Chen Guozhu was obviously not as firm as Ruo Fangcai, he hesitated and said, "But my son..."

"Those who achieve great things don't care about small details. As the saying goes, there are gains and losses. If His Royal Highness knows that he has dedicated himself to the great cause of Chen Guo, he will definitely be proud of it!" Ji Ruyuan stared at Chen Guozhu, pressing every step of the way.

Chen Guozhu's face was tangled.

Ji Ruyuan approached, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered seductively: "Defeat the Sui Kingdom, use the weak to conquer the strong. A hundred years later, in the Shi Juan Dan Book, you, Chen Linfu, will be the hero of Zhongxing praised by thousands of people." Lord! The Lord of Hegemony!"

Chen Guozhu was shocked, and he gritted his teeth and said, "For the sake of hegemony, what is the son of the widow! Come and imprison Emperor Yongxuan in Yexuan Palace. The rest of the people will follow the widow to count the soldiers. This time, the widow will go to battle in person!"

Looking at the disappearing figure of Chen Guozhu, Gu Zijie smiled lightly, "It's such a sharp mouth with a lotus tongue, and you can move the world with a single word, Gu Mou sighs to himself."

Ji Ruyuan replied: "What does it mean to shoot yourself in the foot with a stone? Gu Zijie, you can ask for more blessings."

Gu Zijie supported Mu Qingyao, and was escorted to Yexuan Palace by a group of soldiers.

Gu Zijie carried Mu Qingyao to the couch, and took off his hair crown and jade hairpin, "Go to sleep for a while, I'm here."

Mu Qingyao grabbed the corner of Gu Zijie's robe, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I..."

"Hush..." Gu Zijie said softly, "I should have been sorry for you. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have gone to Yao country to seek a chance for Sui country to breathe. Besides," Gu Zijie paused for a while before saying: "After you left, I realized many things again. Eternal hegemony is like a chess game. As long as the country remains the same, there is no way to win or lose. In fact, I am no longer annoyed by the incident six years ago. In the past few years, You and I are strangers, my heart is pierced every day, but I still refuse to bow my head first. Qingyao, do you still remember what you said to me that year?"

"You said, life and death, day and night, we are all going to be together."

Mu Qingyao remained silent, and slowly took off the mask.

It is still Ruyu's face, but on the left forehead, there is a big "Yuan" tattooed on it, Ji Ruyuan's Yuan.

Mu Qingyao turned her head to one side, and sighed faintly: "You know, what I regret the most in my life is that night, I personally poured that cup of autumn dew for you, allowing you to have a child..."

Gu Zijie stretched out his hand and gently stroked the puncture mark on his forehead, "Those are all over, Qingyao, do you feel pain?"

Mu Qingyao closed her eyes, but shook her head slightly without answering.

Gu Zijie turned over and lay next to Mu Qingyao, buried his face in his neck, and said softly: "From now on, I will protect you well, and no one will bully you."

At the fourth watch, the city was completely silent.Lieutenant General Song Jue sat on the ground, looking in the direction of the palace.A figure slowly approached him, Song Jue touched the waist knife, and when the shadow of the man was still a few inches away from him, he turned around and pointed the tip of the knife precisely at the man's heart.

The man said in a low voice, "I am here to find the general as entrusted by His Majesty earlier."

Song Jue said: "There is nothing to do"

The man continued: "It will be natural."

Song Jue let go of him, and retracted the waist knife, "Speak."

"Your Majesty once told me that if the general is trapped in the city, let me escort the general out with all my might."

"Where is His Majesty now? Who are you?"

"Your Majesty is imprisoned in Yexuan Palace. I am the guard here. General, take your troops and follow me. I drugged their wine, and they won't be able to wake up for a while."

As the man said, he went to pull Song Jue's shirt, "Let's go!"

Song Jue sat still and said firmly, "I won't leave until I wait for Your Majesty."

"This is an order!" The man became even more anxious.

Song Jue replied cleanly, "I don't listen."

The man was quite helpless, so he had to say: "Well, to tell you the truth, although I am Sui Guo's spy here, I am also the illegitimate son of Zhenwu General Su Qin. This action was decided after all discussions between my father and His Majesty." Yes, come with me quickly, don't spoil His Majesty's important affairs. Your Majesty has his own way of escape here."

Song Jue's eyes lit up. Su Qin, a war god of a generation, is the highest yearning in every soldier's heart.

"Is it true?"

"Of course, let's go, it will be too late."

In the third watch, the cold moon is like frost.

Looking at Mu Qingyao's peaceful sleeping face, Gu Zijie couldn't help but part his forehead hair, and kissed him lightly.When his lips brushed against the tattooed words on his forehead, Gu Zijie clenched his fists tightly, his eyes turned red.

Ji Ruyuan, I want to make your life worse than death!

The door of the palace was pushed open with a 'squeak', and a black figure flashed into the room.

Gu Zijie carefully tucked in the quilt for the person on the bed, then walked to the outer hall, and said calmly: "You are finally here."

The man took off his black cloak, revealing a square face, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, very mature and capable, this man is Chen Guo's uncle.

Gu Zijie went straight to the point and said: "You must have known everything about the situation outside, so you should follow the previous discussion. If you kill the king of Chen, the country of Chen will be in chaos. Now the crown prince is in my hands again, and the country of Chen has no master. For the throne, all forces in the country of Chen , will turn the spearhead from the outside back to the inside. In this way, the combined army of several countries will be destroyed without attack. When I return to the army safely, I will definitely send troops to help you ascend the throne."

The man touched his jade finger, shook his head and said with a smile: "This moment, that moment. You are in prison now, without my help, it is impossible to leave Chen Palace safely. Emperor Yongxuan, this bargaining chip needs to be increased. Last plus."

The corners of Gu Zijie's lips twitched slightly, and he pulled up a chair and sat down, "Uncle Chen Huang, this is a lucrative business for you, don't you think you are too greedy?"

The man came over, stood behind Gu Zijie, and replied, "No, no. I also took a huge risk in this matter. Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about Ji Ruyuan. Lord Chen is his mother." Uncle, if he knows the whole thing, I will become the king, and I will not be able to get good fruit in the future."

"Uncle Chen Huang should understand that compared to the pleasure of sitting in this position, this price is nothing at all. Besides, there is no definite date for the future, and Uncle Chen Huang said too soon." Gu Zijie stared into his eyes, slowly road.

Uncle Chen Huang clapped his hands and laughed, as if his dream had come true.After a while, he said again: "That's right. However, the country of Sui is richer than our small and humble countries. If you can go back safely, I don't think the country of Sui will be stingy with [-] gold."

Gu Zijie sighed, rather helplessly said: "The most important thing right now, since that's the case, I'll do it."

"Okay, Emperor Yongxuan is really a straightforward person! I'll ask someone to escort you out!" After speaking, Uncle Chen put on his cloak and went out.

Mu Qingyao walked out of the inner hall slowly, looking at the direction in which Uncle Chen left, feeling a little worried: "This person is unfaithful and greedy. Do you really want to cooperate with such a person?"

Gu Zijie narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Since he is like this, he will bear the consequences himself."

Then he walked towards Mu Qingyao, held his pale and thin hands, and promised: "Qingyao, don't worry, I will take you out safely."

As expected, Uncle Chen went back and forth, but this time he came with a carriage.

In the middle of the night, a carriage galloped straight towards the city gate.

The coachman took out a token from his pocket and signaled to the city gate guard: "This is the chariot driver from the palace, let it go quickly!"

The guard was resolute and unmoved at all: "I'm sorry, the decree has just been passed down from above. No matter who it is, they are not allowed to leave the city for these three days!"

"Keep your dog eyes open, this is a token of the royal family!" The coachman said angrily, "If you delay the business, how many heads do you have enough to chop off?"

"Dozens of soldiers from the Sui Kingdom escaped in the second watch, and the guards guarding this place were all cut off. Please be sympathetic, we are also following orders, please go back."

Seeing that the guard in front of him was so stubborn, the coachman couldn't help but stood where he was, his face full of anxiety.

At this time, a gloomy voice came from not far away: "What is there to go out of the city? Who is on this carriage?"
