see the gentleman

Gu Yun stayed behind closed doors all year round, and rarely received family members and family members. Everyone knew that the empress was very quiet, so they basically didn't come here to be annoying.

Today, Princess Xinling came to see her early in the morning. Gu Yun ignored her at first, but Xinling sent several posts in a row, which meant that Gu Yun would never leave without seeing her.

In terms of perseverance, Gu Yun couldn't beat this sister-in-law, so he had no choice but to invite her in.

But Xinling was not the only one who came, she was followed by a young girl, with lowered eyebrows, she looked very quiet, as if she wanted to erase her own sense of existence.

But Gu Yun still recognized her at a glance, probably the power of blood relationship is hard to ignore.

Gu Yun smiled decently, and said, "Miss Zhao, you've grown so gracefully."

Ji Zhun has a pair of sons and daughters, the eldest daughter is named Zhao, and the youngest son is named Zhao.But this pair of siblings, who were supposed to be born as brilliant as pearls, were finally covered in dust and remained silent in the backyard of the eldest princess's mansion for more than ten years, unknown to everyone.

And if the dusty pearl shines once, it must be because the box was overturned and something went wrong.

Gu Yun's heart sank slightly, her face remained calm, she smiled and asked someone to serve tea, but Xin Ling stopped her.

As if she couldn't even wait for a moment to drink tea, she gritted her teeth, and there was a pained anger on her face, and under the pain, there was almost a scalp-numbing hatred: "Niang Niang, I came this time to beg you to borrow your brother's Gu Jiajun who stayed in the capital."

The priest wearing a mask seemed to be dumb at this moment, turning a deaf ear to Chen Yu's words, and only raised his hand, as if a signal, the two sides met swords and finally fought.

And Chen Yu slashed at the priest.

"Thank you madam."

Xin Ling stood up and solemnly bowed to Gu Yun.

Gu Yun didn't stop her, but sent her to the gate of the palace afterwards.

Gu Yun stood under the eaves of the palace, looking at the girl who seemed to be a shadow behind the Xinling Mausoleum from a distance.

It seemed to feel her gaze, that faint and non-existent figure, who seemed to be able to hide in the crack of the wall at any time, suddenly turned around and collided with Gu Yun's gaze.

Those eyes that could not lift their heads in front of her just now, seemed to be full of guilt and guilt, looked at her with deep malice and sarcasm at this moment.

It seems to be asking her: Look, you have long wanted to do what I did, right?

Gu Yun suddenly shivered.

She raised her head, and found that at some point, snow fell on top of her head again, and the snowflakes fell into her eyes. When she blinked, the snow turned into water and flowed out from the corners of her eyes.

Those tears seemed to be fake, and it seemed as if they never existed.

Her face hardened inch by inch, as if lingering in her heart for a long time, the frail hesitation finally disappeared together with the false tears that flowed out.

She said: "Go, immediately send a white banquet to Fu Zhi to enter the palace."

If it was true what Ji Zhao said, then their actions were definitely not limited to the Eastern Suburb Altar.

Their goal is the palace.

At the same time, the capital city, which has lost half of its city defenses, inevitably reduced its defenses at the four gates, and the Xihua Gate, which was already sparsely populated, seemed even more crowded today.

Therefore, the troops stationed outside the gate took down the Xihua Gate almost without a single soldier.

It seems that they themselves did not expect it to be so smooth, beaming with joy, they marched forward all the way to the direction of the palace.

The altar has 81 steps, it is too high above, and the passage is blocked, so that what happens above cannot be heard below.

Chen Yu's knife was blocked back, and the friction sound of the blades intersecting was so ear-piercing that it made one's scalp tingle.

Both were shaken back.

"Xiao Xiaoxiao, don't you even dare to show your true colors!?"

Chen Yu sneered, swung his knife and slashed at the person again.

The priest didn't think he was aggressive, and with a flash of agility, he bypassed Chen Yu with a knife, as if he had no intention of fighting him, and only wanted to attack Ji Yun.

Ji Yun was surrounded by a circle of guards, and every now and then a knife pierced the gap, and the blade brushed against the tip of his nose.

He dodged left and right in the protective circle, describing himself as very embarrassed, but his life was in front of him, and he no longer cared about his majesty and solemnity. Ji Yun was eager to escape from the blood-stained altar, and ordered the guards to make a way out.

This assassin had to pretend to be a priest before he dared to attack, and he even had people block the entrance of the passage, showing that his sphere of influence only reached the altar, and as long as he escaped from the altar, half of the city defense battalion guarding under the altar would be afraid of the three An assassin of Gua Liang Zao?

Under the protection of the guards, Ji Yun approached the entrance of the passage step by step. The masked man also noticed his intention, and immediately wanted to rush over to stop him, but was held back by Chen Yu, unable to separate himself.

Seeing that Ji Yun was already approaching the entrance of the passage, the people guarding the entrance of the passage could not bear the siege and were about to fail.

The masked man's eyes were almost red, and the murderous intent in his eyes was overflowing.

But at this time, Chen Yu came forward with a knife, and the masked man couldn't dodge in time, he only had time to tilt his head back.

The tip of the knife touched the man's mask, and lifted the mask completely upwards.

Chen Yu saw the man's face clearly, and it seemed that his face was frozen for a moment, as if he couldn't move. He even forgot to avoid the other party's knife—or he never imagined that one day this man would treat him Draw their swords and face each other.

And the other party didn't expect that he would not be able to hide, or that he had been completely swept away by the hatred and killing intent buried in his body for a long time, and his hand holding the knife didn't even stop at all.

With a teeth-gritting sound, the snow-white blade was sent into Chen Yu's abdomen.

The blood loss made Chen Yu's face pale quickly, and the severe pain made him crumbling, but he held the knife outside his body to stabilize himself, and his flesh stuck to the sharp blade, and the blood flowed from his fingers. leak out.

And the other party seemed to wake up at this time, the redness in his eyes faded, and even a rare look of panic appeared on his expressionless face all year round, and he let go of the knife.

But Chen Yu's eyes were blurred, and he couldn't see the slight change in the expression on the man's face. He just opened his mouth, as if he had realized the pain: "...it's you..."

That's right, who else can be other than this person, who else knows all of his arrangements.

He was totally defenseless against this man, he let this man in and out of his study, he even led this man in and out of the camp several times, as if this was not enough, he would chatter in that man's ear like a treasure, like a peacock , brought what he had, the most worth boasting, to this person one by one, and made him happy.

What was this man thinking when he saw his own wishful zeal and foolish display?

Are you laughing at his stupidity, or are you full of hatred, gnashing your teeth in your heart, wishing you could grind your teeth and suck blood?

"Ji Zhao..."

He still wants to ask him something, but what to ask?

Blood and heat drained from his body quickly, his mind was empty and he couldn't think of anything.

So be it, no need to ask.

You and I will leave here, and we will never see each other again in the next life.
