Nine swords

Ye Gucheng still looked at the emperor indifferently, but couldn't help laughing in his heart: The emperor finally said this "quite ambiguous" sentence, isn't this really molesting him?But my brother is not a thief, but a pervert—in other words, the emperor should really be glad that the pervert is not here.

Regardless of whether the purpose of the emperor's words was to tease Ye Gucheng or not, those who heard it obviously couldn't be as calm as Ye Gucheng—for example, Prince Nan, his face flushed suddenly, and he took two big steps forward , Said viciously: "Win the king and lose the bandit! You have sat on this throne for long enough, and it's time for someone else to sit on it!" Bear it!

Ye Gucheng was still thinking silently: Prince Nan Wang is a tragic child just like the emperor, what is there to be excited about... Also, you stole my brother's lines... Then he heard Prince Nan call out suddenly : "Wang An!"

"Your servant is here." An old eunuch with a wrinkled face like a chrysanthemum came out from the ear room at the back of the palace, holding a dragon robe in his hand.

The emperor looked at Wang An and said coldly: "So it's you, a slave! How dare you conspire with the people of the Southern Palace to usurp the throne... I have relied on you as my confidant since the time of the East Palace, is this how you repay me?"

The old eunuch Wang An didn't look at the emperor, and he didn't know whether it was a guilty conscience or something else. He pretended that he didn't hear the emperor's words, and his dim old eyes could only stare at the dragon robe in his hand: the robe was bright yellow, The collar and sleeves are all azure and gold, and the shoulders are embroidered with text. There are twelve chapters, with five-color clouds between them. The lower eight-treasure standing water skirt opens left and right—this is the emperor's dragon robe, which symbolizes the supreme power, and only the emperor can wear it in the world.But the old eunuch held the dragon robe in front of Prince Nan, and smiled flatteringly: "Please change the clothes, Your Majesty."

Prince Nan smiled in satisfaction, and took off his coat on the spot, and put on a dragon robe.

Seeing this, the emperor laughed out of anger, and said, "Do you think you are the emperor once you put on this dragon robe? What a joke! The subjects of the world will never recognize you, you are always just a traitor!"

The Prince of Nan shook his head slightly, and sighed: "There are assassins hidden in the palace. To show his innocence, the Prince of Nan stood up to escort him to his death. I am very sad. But the above respects his father, and the subordinates raise his son in memory of this kindness." He While saying these words, a thin layer of disguise material was raised from the neck, revealing his face that was almost identical to that of the emperor.

At this time, the emperor finally changed his face. He already understood what kind of conspiracy it was - there was no treason, no usurpation of the throne, what was just an assassination, so that the son of the Southern Prince was escorted to death... But in fact, death He is the real emperor, and the son of the Southern Prince will replace him as the Ninety-Five Supreme from now on!

The emperor's back was covered in cold sweat, and his heart seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit. Although he had tried to calm himself down, there was still a trace of panic on his face—Ye Gucheng, who was watching this situation calmly, felt sorry for him in his heart without sincerity. The emperor mourned for a while: In fact, this emperor is not bad, at least he is much stronger than the prince of Nan Wang, but it is a pity that these two sad children also have a perverted cousin...so tragedy and tragedy are both Nothing to do.

Of course, it is impossible for Prince Nan to predict his tragedy. At this moment, he is the happiest moment since he grew up. I saw him leisurely handing his robe and Yirong things to Wang An, and smiled coldly. Said: "After the death of Prince Nan's son, you will change his clothes."

With an extremely honored expression on Wang An's face, he bowed very respectfully and said, "Your maidservant obeys the holy order!"

After slightly nodding his head as a signal, Prince Nan Wang looked at Ye Gucheng again, and said with longing and anticipation in his tone, "That's the way to thank Master."

At this point in the play, it was almost coming to an end. Ye Gucheng looked at the pale emperor indifferently, and the emperor also looked at Ye Gucheng, and said helplessly and desperately: "I am ordered by the sky, how dare you act rashly?" He knew that he would not survive, so he could only bluff at the end, there was no other way.

Hearing what the emperor said, Prince Nan's expression froze, and he might have really felt a little timid; but of course Ye Gucheng dared, the imperial power was not very lofty in his heart, let alone "ordered by heaven" So he just drew his sword lightly and withdrew his sword, and ended the grand event of usurping the throne.

Death is inevitable for people, whether it is an emperor or a beggar, no matter how expensive or cheap, once you die, you will have nothing. Everyone is the same.

The emperor died, under the sword of Ye Gucheng.

Prince Nan's face was flushed with excitement, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.Wang An went up, trembling hands, and began to change the dead emperor into the costume and disguise of the son of Prince Nan, and King Nan did it himself, moving the corpse in the palace properly... Only Ye Gucheng, he still looked Standing indifferently, with white clothes like snow, not stained with dust, as if what was happening in front of his eyes was just an insignificant incident, not a shocking event of regicide and usurpation of the throne.

Not long after, Nan Wang, father and son, and Wang An arranged the interior of the hall, and Nan Wang's son immediately sat on the dragon chair excitedly, so satisfied that he couldn't help himself.

Then Ye Gucheng said lightly: "This matter is done, you and I have agreed. Where is the antidote?" Although Ye Gucheng knew very well that there was no antidote, but the form still had to go.

Prince Nan Wang was stunned, squeezed out a smile, and said: "This...Master, don't be impatient, wait..." Before he finished speaking, a very angry sentence came from outside the hall: "Qi Zuo Your Majesty, the rebel Gongsun family has been punished, please allow Wei Ziyun, a humble minister, to report in detail!"

Seeing that Ye Gucheng's complexion changed suddenly, the son of the Southern Prince quickly explained, "The antidote is already in the Southern Prince's Mansion, and I will send someone to fetch it immediately..."

Little did he know that Ye Gucheng was not for some non-existent antidote, he was suddenly stunned by the unexpected situation beyond the agreement, and even the palm of the hand holding the sword was sweating: Gongsun's Fuzhu... ...What about Gongjiu?Perverts shouldn't capsize in the gutter, so it's really a big game!

Thinking of this point, Ye Gucheng had no intention of saying anything more to Prince Nan. He immediately performed lightness kung fu and floated into the ear room at the back of the palace, and then broke out through the window. After turning left and right according to the established route, So he hid in a secret passage and sneaked out of the palace.

But at this moment in the main hall, the prince of Nan Wang was still staring at the direction of the ear room in a silent trance, but Nan Wang sneered and said: "Ye Gucheng must not be kept, my son just ordered the Imperial Forest Army to kill it."

Hearing the words, the son of the Southern King felt dissatisfied with the Southern King in his heart, which was related to Ye Gucheng, but more importantly, the son of the Southern King is now the emperor—is he willing to listen to others if he is the emperor? words?Even if the person who gave the orders was his father, that wouldn't work.

Therefore, the prince of Nan Wang avoided him and did not respond, so he only asked Wang An to open the door of the palace. Wei Ziyun walked in in a hurry, but saw the corpses all over the floor, including his good brother Yin Xian, he was shocked and yelled. He even forgot to kneel down to ask for peace, so he asked, "This...Your Majesty, what's going on?" After all, he was also a man in the Jianghu in the past, with a quick temper, and he was not too respectful to the emperor.

The emperor knew Wei Ziyun's loyalty, so of course he wouldn't care too much about him, but Nan Wang's son was different. He was suffocated because of Ye Gucheng and Nan Wang, but now he was even more dissatisfied. After suppressing himself, he said lightly: "There are other assassins in the palace, the son of the Southern King, Yin Xian and others escorted him to death..." He patted the armrest of the throne, stood up, and solemnly ordered: "Wei Ziyun, I order you to arrest King Taiping, his son and others immediately , sent to the sky prison, and another day for interrogation!"

Now that the "Nan Wangshizi" has been escorted to death, the assassination incident this time has naturally become the scapegoat of Prince Taiping's mansion-who will be scapegoated does not lie in the truth, but in... Who the emperor asks to bear the scapegoat, who You have to carry it on your back, who told him to be the emperor.

On the other side, Ye Gucheng hurried all the way to the place that he had agreed with Gong Jiu, and saw that person from a distance, dressed in white, standing alone under the moon, Ye Gucheng immediately felt relieved , and then slowed down and walked over.

Gong Jiu noticed someone, turned his head, saw that it was Ye Gucheng, he was also relieved, and said with a smile: "Although the arrangement is meticulous and the plan is smooth, I am still restless. Only when I see you at this time can I feel at ease." As he spoke, he stepped forward to hold Ye Gucheng's hand, and asked softly, "Ah Cheng, are you also worried about me?"

Ye Gucheng's cheeks were slightly hot, but he thought to himself: The pervert is getting nasty again, it's really unbearable... But brother is not worried about pervert... Thinking so, Ye Gucheng still asked: "Something changed? "

Gong Jiu slightly nodded and said: "Wei Ziyun's group of people chased me too closely, and it was difficult to escape. Fortunately, they were well prepared before, and someone responded, so they threw Gongsun's body out to block the arrows." Ye Gucheng understood, thought for a while, He asked again, "Does the future plan have any influence?"

Gong Jiu said with a smile: "It's okay, I have arranged for the internal response to deal with the first and last, so there will be no flaws." Ye Gucheng then nodded and said: "If that's the case, shall we go to find Lu Xiaofeng?"

"No hurry," Gong Jiu restrained his smile and said, "We still have to stay in the capital for a day or two to see if this matter will change. Just taking this opportunity, I will take you to meet someone."

Ye Gucheng looked at Gong Jiu in puzzlement, but he already had a vague guess in his heart.But Gong Jiu wanted to make a fool of himself, he hugged Ye Gucheng with a smile, leaned close to his ear, and said ambiguously: "But that's not urgent... the most urgent thing now is... I miss you... ..."

"..."

The moon sets, the sun rises, and it's a new day.The incident of the emperor meeting assassins on the night of his birthday naturally set off a bloodbath in Beijing.

The commanders of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace couldn’t absolve themselves of the blame. The emperor scolded them angrily, and actually killed a lot of his confidantes. Even Wei Ziyun, the former celebrity in front of the Holy Majesty, was ordered to shut up and think about his mistakes. Many people are concerned.

It is said that the assassination of the emperor was planned by King Taiping, who also intended to blame Nanwang, but in the end, the son of Nanwang escorted him to death, which revealed the conspiracy.Prince Taiping and his son have been imprisoned in the sky prison, waiting for the emperor to dispose of them.

This kind of "cannibalism" inside the royal family has always been the most talked about by people in the world, and various rumors about that night quickly spread.

However, at this time, in the depths of the tightly guarded dungeon, two white-clothed men walked in grandly and openly, to see Prince Taiping and his son, whom the emperor had ordered no one to visit.Who made the guards in the dungeon too low in salary?As long as it is something that money can do, it is a trivial matter for Gong Jiu.

It only took one night, and King Taiping was quite emaciated—he, who had always acted low-key and idle, was inexplicably involved in the catastrophe of assassinating the emperor. Will there be any good results?However, as a member of the royal family, King Taiping has long since dismissed such things as being involuntary.

However, King Taiping still couldn't help feeling a little rejoicing. Fortunately, the whereabouts of his rebellious son who hadn't heard from him for many years was unknown, and even his daughter had been taken away long ago. It's just a fake son--thinking of this, King Taiping glanced at the "Prince Taiping" shivering in the corner with disgust. His son wouldn't be as incompetent as this guy.

Naturally, the real son of King Taiping would not be incompetent. Gong Jiu silently looked at the low and dark cell in front of him, then stretched out his hand and squeezed it lightly, breaking the iron lock on the door directly, and then He slowly opened the cell door and walked in.

When King Taiping heard the sound of opening the door, he was stunned at first. He thought that someone would come to interrogate him so soon, but when King Taiping saw Gong Jiu, it was like a thunderbolt falling on a sunny day, and he was knocked unconscious I can only mutter blankly: "You...you are..."

Gong Jiu carefully looked at King Taiping—compared to the father in his memory, King Taiping was actually much older.But after hearing King Taiping's words, Gong Jiu still couldn't help but asked mockingly: "Why, don't you even recognize me?"

King Taiping stood up abruptly, and said angrily while jumping his feet: "You rebellious son, you still know how to come back..." But at this point, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "You have been gone for so many years, why bother to come back now?" Come back? Go quickly, the farther you go, the better—" King Taiping pointed to the man in the corner, and continued: "He is my son, you go quickly."

Although the "Prince Taiping" was cowardly, he was not stupid, he naturally understood Gong Jiu's identity when he heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and shouted loudly: "I am not the prince Taiping! The real son is here, don't kill me, let me go..." He shouted, got up and rushed out of the prison door.

King Taiping became anxious immediately, and repeatedly signaled Gong Jiu to leave. Gong Jiu took his time and continued to look at King Taiping. Seeing his sincere expression, he was really anxious and worried, and Gong Jiu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

As for the "Prince Taiping", before he rushed to the prison door, there was a flash of white sword light, his shouting stopped abruptly, and he fell to the ground with a gurgle in his throat. The blood flowed out unstoppably, and there was no sound in a blink of an eye.

Ye Gucheng also walked into the narrow cell and stood quietly.

King Taiping couldn't react at all. At this moment, he felt as if his mind was suddenly stuffed into a mess, and he could only stare blankly at his son, whom he hadn't seen for many years.But Gong Jiu smiled leisurely, took Ye Gucheng's hand, walked up to King Taiping, and said: "Actually, I came today just to let you meet him, Ye Gucheng, my heart is tied... …You are still my father after all.”

Ye Gucheng didn't speak, but felt a little hot, was he seeing his father-in-law, his father-in-law, or his father-in-law...

Even though King Taiping had never set foot in the rivers and lakes, he had heard of the great reputation of Lord Baiyun, his eyes widened suddenly, he looked at Ye Gucheng, then at Gong Jiu, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...you What means?"

Gong Jiu smiled proudly: "No other meaning, just to tell you that I also have someone I love. But I won't be like you, so useless that I can't even protect the one I love?!"

King Taiping was speechless for a while, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh and said, "Actually, I also guessed that you left home without doing anything for your son, did you know about your mother and concubine? "He smiled wryly, and then said: "You are right, I can't even protect the one I love, I'm really incompetent..." Then he looked at Ye Gucheng again, and finally said sadly and generously: "Your I know the matter. In short, I have never been able to control your affairs. Everything is up to you. Anyway, I have committed the crime of assassinating the emperor now. I am afraid that I will die soon... If you can still come back and see me Have a heart."

Ye Gucheng suddenly felt that King Taiping was a little pitiful, and Gong Jiu was probably also touched. He slightly turned his face away and said, "Don't worry, you won't die. The ones who assassinated the emperor were Nan Wang and his son... As for you, you should be able to do so soon." It’s too high to be a leisurely and happy person.”

"..." King Taiping was silent for a while when he heard the words, and stopped asking Gong Jiu about the specific secrets and plots. Just waiting for your good news."

puff!Ye Gucheng almost burst out laughing: Brother Fu... It seems that this world is fighting again after fantasy, horror and hegemony...

"..." Gong Jiu felt Ye Gucheng's hand tremble slightly, and couldn't help thinking helplessly: The old guy must have done it on purpose, he deserves to be my father, he turned the game so quickly.

But the old guy can't be too complacent, Gong Jiu thought so, then nodded calmly and said: "The son of Prince Taiping has committed suicide in fear of crime, the emperor is under the pressure of the clan, and the emperor will not be able to execute you, uncle." He laughed conceitedly, and said: "You can retire with peace of mind. The day I return to the capital will be the time when I become emperor."
