see the gentleman

Ji Yun followed behind Shu, the two carefully avoided the guards, tried their best to stick to the remote wall, and prepared to sneak out first.

Xu Guangnian wanted Ji Yun to leave, but Ji Yun refused. As soon as this Shu appeared, Ji Yun followed him. Ji Yun couldn't say why, probably because Shu was beautiful.

Before they walked out of Qianyang Palace, the two of them almost ran into three groups of guards. Ji Yun didn't think it was just for his own protection with such a strong defense.The reason why he felt alienated from Xu Guangnian and that so-called general was also because of this.During the day, he casually said several times that he wanted to go out for a walk, but Xu Guangnian refused to come back. Besides Gu Huan and Xu Guangnian, he had never seen a third living person in his palace. All this made him doubt his own situation.

The two came to a fork, and Ji Yun saw that Shu was going to the left, and hurriedly stopped him: "Go to the other side, this way is the main road, and it is easy to be found."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a small group of guards passing by that road.

Shu took a nervous breath, nodded to Ji Yun quickly, and followed behind him carefully.

Ji Yun knew that there were many small doors in Qianyang Palace, which were usually only used by palace servants to enter and exit. For convenience, some of them were directly connected to the outside, but he was not too clear why he knew so many remote small doors. It's like he's been there before.

Relying on his inexplicable familiarity with the terrain, Ji Yun passed through several small gates. These places are usually guarded by people, but probably because of the chaos in the palace today, the small gates are unguarded, and some gates do not even have keys. fall.

Ji Yun and Shu were walking among the palace gardens like a maze, when suddenly the lights behind him turned white and lights came on.

"It's so late, where is Your Majesty going?"

There was a sound of stepping on dead branches behind him, and the person approached step by step, the voice was very young, deep, with a bit of the coolness of the night.

Ji Yun froze, turned around, and saw a young man who looked a little like the general he had seen during the day, a few steps away from him, followed by Xu Guangnian with downcast eyebrows.

Even though he had vaguely expected it in his heart, he was still angry at this moment, and he stared at Xu Guangnian unkindly: "It was you who tipped off the news?"

Xu Guangnian lowered his head more and did not dare to answer, but the young man arched his hands and said: "Your Majesty is serious. Xu Guangnian was ordered by his uncle, General Gu Huan, to serve His Majesty personally, but found that His Majesty disappeared in the middle of the night. He was naturally shocked. It's just that Uncle Weichen is dealing with the traitor Bai Chen at the moment, and he has no time to move, so I have to let Weichen look for His Majesty."

The person who came was the nephew of the great general Gu Huan, the leading general Gu Xiang.

Gu Xiang said again: "In this special period, Xu Guangnian originally wanted to take His Majesty to seek refuge, but His Majesty refused, so let's just walk around on his own. If it falls into the hands of rebels, what would be better, let the minister escort His Majesty away for the time being. "

Now Ji Yun is really sure that her situation is not optimistic.

There was a so-called general in the palace who imprisoned and monitored him in the name of a guard, and there was a Baichen outside who came in aggressively to kill him.Ji Yun gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. With him and Shu, who seemed powerless, against Gu Xiang and the group of soldiers behind him, they could only catch him without a fight.

Gu Xiang hurriedly walked, with a serious expression, and escorted Ji Yun forward very quickly. Ji Yun recognized that this was the direction to leave the palace, and he vaguely guessed that the general might not be doing well in the battle, and maybe he was killed by the white man. Chen pressed and hit him, so his nephew hurriedly grabbed him, preparing to take him out of the palace, using himself as a shield as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Bai Chen.

Two tigers fight each other, he is a big hydrangea between the two tigers.

He was dragged away, because Gu Xiang was so fast, he couldn't keep up, he was almost dragged, and when he arrived at a certain palace gate, he even prepared a carriage.

At this time, no one knelt down to let Ji Yun step on it, and Gu Xiang didn't have the time to let him do this, so he directly carried Ji Yun into the car, so rough that he was in the same line as his uncle.On the way, Ji Yun's gold-encrusted jade belt was hooked by the shaft of the car, and the accessories were torn off the ground. Ji Yun was rudely stuffed into the car.

The wheels of the car rolled by on the gravel road, the car shook violently, Ji Yun bumped his head several times, Gu Xiang was still urging to hurry up.

Seeing that gold stars were about to pop out of his eyes, Shu hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover his head, foolishly wanting to use this method to help him block the pain. Even in such a situation, Ji Yun was still moved by his thoughtfulness, he He took Shu's hand off, held it in his own, smiled at him and shook his head.

Gradually, Ji Yun not only heard the sound of their horse galloping, but also seemed to be followed by countless horses. Suddenly, they heard the horse neighing loudly, and then the car stopped suddenly, and the people in the car were almost killed. Get out of the car.

As soon as Gu Xiang lifted the curtain of the carriage, the groom was nowhere to be seen, he might have been shot down, and the horse was also hit by several arrows, it had already fallen to the ground, and could no longer run.

The horses behind quickly caught up and surrounded the carriage.

A young man's eager voice sounded from outside: "Is Your Majesty in the car?"

When Ji Yun heard the sound, he was inexplicably taken aback, his heart tightened suddenly, but before he could react, a dagger was suddenly pressed against his neck.

Gu Xiang escorted Ji Yun out of the car.

Worrying day and night, now that Bai Chen finally saw Ji Yun with a full beard and tail, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he saw the dagger on his neck, he breathed again.

With a sullen face, he sternly said: "Gu Xiang, you, the Gu family, committed rebellion and dared to imprison the emperor. Now that Gu Huan has been captured, your situation is over. You still don't recognize the reality. Are you going to turn around?!"

Gu Xiang's brows were tightly locked, and there was a gloomy feeling of despair all over her body.He has attracted much attention since he was a child, and was praised by the stars when he grew up. He has been bathed in glory all his life, and has never had such an experience of being the target of public criticism. He is not ignorant of what Gu Huan has done, and he also knows that it is It is a serious crime of treason, but the arrogance and arrogance born from the family made him unable to imagine the consequences of failure, let alone Gu Huan, the queen and the prince are also members of their family, how could it be possible to fail—— So now he has really become a loser, and the gap is far heavier than he imagined, which makes him almost breathless: the glory of the family will no longer exist, and his own achievements will also be negated. The next one will be the word rebellious, and will be nailed into the history and bear eternal infamy.

Bai Chen's words not only failed to wake him up, but made him realize the plight of the poor. His dagger subconsciously moved two points closer to the flesh, piercing Ji Yun's skin.Shu was next to her and was grabbed by two other people. Seeing this, she let out a small cry of fright.

Bai Chen was also frightened and his heart jumped, hissed: "Gu Xiang!"

At this time, the night was dark, with only a few stars of lights, and everyone's faces were somewhat blurred. Ji Yun couldn't see the person in front of him clearly, but when he heard his voice that broke in the middle, it seemed that he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart. In such a tense atmosphere, he was still the most dangerous hostage, so he still felt curious.

Who is this person? He looks very worried about himself.

Gu Xiang was sobered up by the yelling, he stopped moving, but the dagger was still poking Ji Yun's throat dangerously, he said darkly: "Don't be too complacent, and don't try to convince me, I will now Give me a horse, a bag of water and dry food, and a bag of silver, and let me leave the capital with Your Majesty."

He refused to admit defeat, and it was not time to admit defeat. Although the Gu family lost one of their uncles, a dead camel would be bigger than a horse. In the name of recruiting more people, make a comeback and fight back to the capital.

When he thought this way, other people would naturally think that before Bai Chen could speak, someone urged him urgently: "Your Excellency, if you really let him go, there will be endless troubles."

People around him echoed, and even Fu Zhi said: "Master Bai, since we are raising troops this time for the side of the Qing emperor, we must kill all treacherous ministers and thieves, and we must not let any one go."

The implication is that Ji Yun doesn't care whether he lives or dies.

It is true, anyway, during Ji Yun's reign, he has been fatuous for decades and never benefited the country and the people. On the contrary, he is not as good as the prince Ji Heng's performance today. He is decisive and ruthless. I don't know how many times stronger than his father. If Ji Yun really His accidental death just happened to allow the prince to succeed to the throne in a legitimate way.

When Ji Yun heard that person calling Master Bai, his heart suddenly came to a realization: This is the legendary Bai Chen?

Before he could finish the turmoil in his heart, he heard the Lord Bai say: "Your Majesty is in your hands, I dare not act rashly, I will give you any horses and entanglements you want. There is only one thing, you can't hurt Your Majesty at all. "

When Bai Chen said this, not only the others hissed, but even Ji Yun was stunned for a moment.

Didn't it mean that this person wants to usurp his position and kill himself?

Why doesn't it look like it?

He was a little confused, and he felt very surprised, as if this was completely unexpected, and he had never even thought about it.

This person doesn't seem to be what he thought, he really wants to kill himself?

As soon as this thought came out, it seemed that something pent up in his heart was melted away in an instant. Although he didn't even know what it was, a great sense of pleasure shot down his spine quickly. Climbing up almost made him forget the danger he was in now, and his tensed back was a little numb.

While waiting for people to get things ready, everyone was a little commotion.

Fu Zhi frowned, a little dissatisfied: "If you really let Gu Xiang go and let His Majesty live outside, how decent is it?"

The real majesty is not dead yet, so can the crown prince succeed?If he ascended the throne and Ji Yun came back in the future, how much trouble would it be?And if he doesn't succeed, then Ji Yun will stay outside for a year, half a year, three to five years, or even be used as a token by Gu Xiang, will the crown prince always have a bad reputation?

In fact, Gu Xiang was the only one on the other side, if he really didn't want him to leave, there were plenty of ways, but it was a little risky for the hostages, but Bai Chen was as if he had weighed heavily, and would never bet on Ji Yun's safety.He is like the most failed negotiator, revealing his bottom line and weaknesses, and Ren Guxiang pinches his seven inches, asking him for whatever he wants.

Gu Xiang was instructing them to saddle the horses, tie up water and food, and suddenly felt that something was wrong in the oblique light. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a cold light flash among the crowd——

Gu Xiang reacted very quickly, he grabbed Ji Yun's shoulder and pulled him in front of him, and the cold light came out more and more, and an arrow shot straight at the two of them.

Bai Chen had been staring at Ji Yun, staring at the dagger stuck to his throat, fearing that the blade would have no eyes and hurt him.Seeing the arrows flying towards Ji Yun now, he was heartbroken.

Plop.

The sound of iron falling into flesh.

Ji Yun opened her eyes blankly, watching Shu grabbing his arm and still sliding down slowly.

Shu didn't know when she broke free from the restraints, and jumped in front of Ji Yun at the very moment.

"Your Majesty, Shu finally gave this life..." He opened his beautiful and moist eyes, looked at Ji Yun softly, his voice became softer and softer, as if it was about to disappear into the air, he said, "Shu Finally...returned to His Majesty..."

Ji Yun didn't have time to grab him, Gu Xiang grabbed his neck hard and blocked him in front of her. He was stimulated and screamed all the time: "If any of you get closer, I will kill him!"

Bai Chen's heart almost stopped for a moment just now, but at this moment he was still in shock, his back was dripping with cold sweat, and his voice could be called shrill: "No one is allowed to move! Let them go!!"

The night was still dark, the darkest before dawn.

Gu Xiang took Ji Yun along and disappeared into the thick night.
