Dayin Golden Gate

When Xie Fengyu returned to Jiefu, he could hear birds chirping.He looked towards the treetops. Among the birds, there was a magpie combing its feathers.He asked thoughtfully: "Is there any distinguished guest here?"

"Here comes a person who claims to be a friend of the servant." The servant replied.

"Where is this person?" Xie Fengyu shook his fan lightly.

"I'm playing chess with the servant in the backyard."

Xie Fengyu walked to the backyard and saw Xie Quanggu and Guiguzi playing chess under a osmanthus tree.

Xie Quegu was black, Guiguzi was white, they were both silent, they didn't even meet their eyes.In the Nuo compound, apart from the sound of the wind, there was only the crisp sound of falling.

Xie Fengyu stood aside, quietly watching the chess game between the two.

At the end of the game, Xie Quang pushed the scales and said: "Your chess skills are beyond my reach."

"There are very few people in the world who can beat me in Go together." Guiguzi said the arrogant words as if it was a matter of course.

Xie Qugu looked at Xie Fengyu, "Fengyu is back."

"Grandfather, Mr. Guigu." Although Xie Fengyu despises political strategists and the like and thinks that they talk about the troubled times, he has to respect his grandfather's friends.

Guiguzi didn't look at Xie Fengyu, but seemed to understand everything, "You have doubts, but it's okay to ask."

Xie Fengyu's heart trembled, and he said nonchalantly, "I heard that each generation of Guiguzi only accepts two disciples, but who are the two disciples of Mr.?"

"One of my disciples is named Xie Qing, and the other is named Fang Luochen." Guiguzi said flatly.

"Fang Luochen is said to have been a beggar on the street and was adopted by Xie Qing. The two love each other like brothers." Xie Fengyu paused, "At the beginning, my grandfather didn't want me to enter Ghost Valley because the inheritance method of Ghost Valley was too cruel. Only one Guigu disciple can survive. Xie Qing and Fang Luochen, how will they deal with themselves?"

Guiguzi brushed away the sweet-scented osmanthus that fell on the chessboard, "The reason why Xie Qing adopted Fang Luochen was because of my instructions."

"Oh?" Xie Fengyu clenched the lupine in his hand.

Guiguzi raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a half-smile, "Since the two are going to kill each other, and there is no basis for love, how can it be called wonderful?"

Xie Quegu shook his head and sighed.He knew that no matter what he said, it would have no effect on his determined friend.

Xie Fengyu felt a little pity for Xie Qing in his heart, but this kind of emotion was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples, but in an instant, the lake became calm again.He bent slightly, "I have no other questions, let me leave." After speaking, he left.

Xie Qugu looked back at Xie Fengyu, and said with emotion: "When I first met you, I was at the same age as Fengyu. Now, I am getting old, but you are still the same as before."

"A fruit that rots from the inside, no matter how bright it looks, can't last long." Guiguzi picked up Baizi, "Let's play another game."

"Oh, my friend." Xie Kuanggu also picked up Heizi.

The backyard of Jiefu is a peaceful world.However, in the palace, murderous intentions are hidden everywhere.

"General Xiahou Gou has an audience—"

Xia Hougou walked in front of Emperor Wen, but he didn't kneel or worship, he clasped his fists and said, "See Your Majesty."

"Bold Xiahou Gou, you didn't pay homage to His Majesty when you saw him!" Qi Xu scolded angrily.

"Your Majesty and I are in-laws. Since we are in-laws, why should I be polite to Your Majesty?" Xia Hougou said arrogantly.

When Emperor Wen heard Xia Hougou's words, his expression was difficult to distinguish, "Come here, give the general a seat."

Two eunuchs brought chairs and put them behind Xia Hougou.

Xia Hougou sat down firmly, "My leg was injured on the battlefield, and I couldn't stand for a long time. It's hard for Your Majesty to remember."

"I remember everything about the general in my heart, one by one, and I remember it clearly." Emperor Wen took a sip of tea from the tea cup at hand.

Xia Hougou didn't know why, but his heart was filled with uneasiness.He suppressed the strange emotion in his heart, and said: "I defeated the Xiongnu, and dared to ask Your Majesty for a reward."

Qi Xu took a step forward and said, "As far as I know, this is due to the left general Wei Wuyi."

"If I didn't fight for that yellow-mouthed kid, how could he win." Xia Hougou glared at Qi Xu.

Qi Xu said sarcastically: "General Zuo is invincible and invincible. Is it possible that the general always raids the formation?"

"That kid is just lucky." Xia Hougou said disdainfully.

Qi Xu wanted to refute, but was stopped by Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen looked at Xia Hougou, his eyes dark as night, "What reward does the General want?"

"I want Your Majesty to give me nine tins as a token of honor and favor." Xia Hougou said.

Nine tins are the nine kinds of ritual vessels used by the emperor, namely chariots and horses, clothes, Lexian, Zhuhu, Nabi, tigers, axes, bows and arrows.

As soon as Xia Hougou finished speaking, Qi Xu said, "I think it's impossible. Although the general has merit, it's far from being able to bestow on Jiuxi."

Xia Hougou stood up and said in a deep voice, "Prince Qi Xu, you are against me, do you want to die?"

"In front of Your Majesty, how can you be presumptuous!" Qi Xu said sharply.

Xia Hougou drew out his sword and was about to stab Qi Xu.

"Stop!" Emperor Wen shouted.

Xia Hougou didn't stop, but he didn't kill Qi Xu either, but cut off a section of Qi Xu's hair.

Qi Xu was so angry that he couldn't speak, he pointed at Xia Hougou, his hands were trembling.

"The matter of Jiuxi will be discussed later." Emperor Wen looked at the hair on the ground, wondering what he was thinking.

"I'm taking my leave." Xia Hougou put his sword back into its sheath, and strode away.

Emperor Wen picked up the teacup at hand and threw it on the ground, making an ear-piercing crackling sound, "Xia, Hou, Gou!"

"Your Majesty, Xiahougou is so ignorant of the emperor, why didn't he kill this person?" Qi Xu knew that Emperor Wen had ambushed his sword and axe before meeting Xiahougou.

Emperor Wen's chest heaved violently, and it took him a while to calm down, "It's not yet time."

Emperor Wen continued to deal with government affairs for a while until it was getting dark.He put down his pen and looked at the flickering candlelight.

The eunuch asked, "I wonder where Your Majesty will rest tonight?"

Emperor Wen pondered for a while and said, "Yanqing Palace."

Emperor Wen drove to Yanqing Palace, and concubine Xian came out of the palace to meet him.She didn't dress up in gorgeous clothes, but her dress was simple and fresh, which made Emperor Wen feel much more comfortable in his eyes.

Emperor Wen and Concubine Xian entered Yanqing Palace, Emperor Wen sat first and Concubine Xian followed.

Concubine Xian saw that Emperor Wen had been silent for a long time, and said softly: "The concubine is worried about one thing. I don't know if your majesty's worries are the same as the concubine's?" She knew that Emperor Wen's worries were different from hers, but she pretended to be so. Just ask.

"Why is my concubine bothered?" Emperor Wen asked.

"The birth mother of the Ninth Prince used to be the concubine's maidservant. When she passed away, the concubine was entrusted to take care of the Ninth Prince. Now the Ninth Prince and the Ninth Concubine have been married for three years, but they have no children. This makes the concubine very worried. " Concubine Xian sighed after finishing speaking.

In Concubine Xian's heart, she actually hated the servant girl who seduced Emperor Wen.The servant girl came from a humble background and was promoted by her to serve as a female official in Yanqing Palace.But the palace maid didn't want to repay her kindness, instead she had an affair with Emperor Wen.The maidservant in the palace was conferred the title of Royal Maid, and after receiving grace several times, she became pregnant again with a dragon son.But her fate was short-lived, and she passed away after giving birth to the Nine Princes.As for whether there was any tampering among them, it is unknown.

"My concubine has a heart." Emperor Wen nodded slightly.

A court lady came, and she knelt down in front of Emperor Wen and offered him tea.

Emperor Wen smelled the delicate fragrance from the maid, and his heart skipped a beat, "What's your name?"

"My servant's name is Gan Yi." Gan Yi bowed her head shyly.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian suggested: "Gan Yi is both talented and beautiful, and she comes from a good family, why not give her to the Ninth Prince as a concubine."

Emperor Wen restrained his thoughts and let out a "hmm".

A few days later, Gan Yi married the Ninth Prince Chu Jue.Chu Jue was afraid to welcome Gan Yi into the prince's mansion, but bought a house outside to house Gan Yi.

Although Gan Yi's appearance is not as good as Xiahou Qiuluo's, she is better than Xiahou Qiuluo in her soft and charming temperament, which makes Chu Jue indulge in her gentleness.

Soon after, Gan Yi became pregnant.

Paper can't hold fire, Xiahou Qiuluo finally found out about it.She brought several tall maidservants with martial arts skills and broke into Gan Yi's house.

The people in the house, photographed by Xiahou Qiuluo's power, dare not stop them.

Gan Yi was making a tiger-headed hat for a child who was about to be born. When she saw Xiahou Qiuluo, she put down her needle and thread, "Who are you?"

"The one who killed you." Xiahou Qiuluo's eyes were burning and his expression was cold.

Several maidservants surrounded Gan Yi, punching and kicking her.

Gan Yi protected her lower abdomen, "Please, don't hurt my child."

"Hold her down." Xiahou Qiuluo drew out his knife.

Several maidservants stopped and held down Gan Yi.

Xiahou Qiuluo cut open Gan Yi's lower abdomen with a knife, and then dug out the unformed child with his hands.She threw the ball of flesh and blood on the ground, and chopped it into a pulp with a knife.

Gan Yi let out a miserable scream, and then burst into tears.

Xiahou Qiuluo patted Gan Yi's face with blood-stained hands, "Isn't it amazing that you have a child?" After she finished speaking, she laughed wildly.

Gan Yi cursed weakly: "You evil ghost, you will die..."

"If you're going to die, you'll die first." Xiahou Qiuluo stabbed Gan Yi in the heart.

Gan Yi died of exhaustion, and her soul returned to the underworld.

Xiahou Qiuluo scratched Gan Yi's face again with a knife, and stripped off her clothes.Then, she took the maidservant and smashed the things in the house before walking away.

When Chu Jue arrived, he saw that the house was in a mess, and an unrecognizable corpse was lying on the ground, with a lump of flesh beside him.He couldn't believe what he saw in front of him. A few hours ago, he put his head on Gan Yi's lower abdomen and listened to the fetal movement of their soon-to-be-born child.

He punched the wall with blood flowing from his hand, "Xia, Hou, Qiu, Luo!"

He walked to the corpse, took off his coat and covered the corpse.He turned to his bodyguard and said, "You bury them for me, I have something to do."

"What is your Highness going to do?" the guard asked anxiously.

Chu Jue said nothing, he drew his sword and walked out of the house.
