After knocking on the third watch at night, a distinguished guest came to the prime minister's mansion.The distinguished guest went straight to the prime minister's bedroom without saying a word, but the prime minister who was supposed to be sleeping soundly was not in the room, and the room was quiet and tidy.Seeing this, the servants in the mansion immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and begged for forgiveness: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, I really don't know why the Prime Minister is not in the room, I really don't know, please Your Majesty Forgive me." In fact, they don't know what they are guilty of. Although the prime minister is a courtier, it seems that the courtier's failure to return home at night has not violated any law of the court, but after King Xiang's sudden visit tonight is connected with this scene, But let them instinctively perceive the danger coming.

King Xiang Ji Yiran ignored the servants who were kneeling on the ground and had been shaken into sieves. He just walked through the room to the inner room with a calm expression, and fixed his eyes on the screen in front of the bed, his whole body stiffened. , long silence.

It was the first time he came to Gu Yanxi's bedroom, but he didn't expect to see the last thing he wanted to see when he entered the door.

There is an ink painting painted on the screen. Although the lines are simple, the ink used is thick and light, so the layers are distinct.A few strokes have already outlined the features of the landscape and the charm of the characters, which is a masterpiece of both spirit and form.

That is exactly what was painted:

Misty and rainy, beside the willow bank.On a lone boat in the waning wind and moon, a man stands casually on the prow of the boat, playing the flute in the wind, while the cloud sleeves are fluttering and the clothes are fluttering, with a smile on his lips and a few wild brows, he is naturally romantic and freehand; and he Another man sitting beside him is playing the piano, playing the qin with his ten slender fingers, plucking the horns and feathers of the palace merchants, his elegant and dusty posture is like an exiled immortal.The two people are in harmony with each other in high mountains and flowing waters, a touch of affection that seems to be there is melted between the pen and ink, and it can't be dissipated.

Next to the painting is a poem in lower case letters, but it is Su Dongpo's "Jiangchengzi", but its meaning of mourning is quite different from the artistic conception of this painting.

Ten years of life and death are boundless, unthinkable and unforgettable.

Thousands of miles of graves, nowhere to be bleak.

Even if they meet, they should not know it, dusty face, temples like frost.

You Meng suddenly returned home in the night.Xiaoxuan window is dressing up.

There is nothing to say about each other, but a thousand lines of tears.

It is expected that the heart will be broken every year, the bright moon night, the short Matsuoka

The young emperor looked at the poems and paintings with complicated expressions, each word, sentence, stroke, and painting seemed to be engraved on his heart one by one, like Ling Chi.Time passed slowly in his red eyes and clenched white fists like this, and everyone in the room seemed to be walking on thin ice, not daring to breathe out, and the whole room was eerily quiet from inside to outside.

After a long time, Ji Yiran slowly loosened his clenched fist, raised his arm, but was frozen in the air again, and after a long time, as if he had gone through many times of intense struggles, and finally made up his mind, the arm in mid-air finally waved He stepped down, the sleeves picked up the wind, and there was a wave of shock in the silence of the room.

Seeing his order, the guards behind him clasped their fists to accept the order, and left in a flash.But Ji Yiran dismissed everyone in the room, and slumped alone in front of the screen, at a loss.With the majesty of the emperor removed, at this moment only he was left in the world.

"Did you mention the 'ten-year agreement' to me because of him? Are you looking at him every night like this, dreaming about him, and recalling how he gradually fell asleep? If so, what will you do to my father?" Confession? Gu Yanxi, I am the son of your benefactor, your close relative for ten years, and the emperor of this half of the country! Where are you going to put me now?" Ji Yiran muttered to the screen, and at the end he was vague, his eyes closed. flushed.

Outside the imperial city.ten mile grave

It was a cold day, and the moon was covered by clouds. Outside the grave thousands of miles away, a white figure stood opposite to a dozen red figures;

"My lord prime minister, in this fierce and severe winter at midnight, you are not resting in the mansion, but you come to blow the cold wind in this random cemetery. Don't you tell me that you came here to enjoy the moon because you couldn't sleep all night and suddenly got excited?" A young man in his thirties, holding a Liuhe spear in his hand, sarcastically speaking with a dangerous expression, stood alone in front of these dozens of people.

The man in white smiled lightly, and said calmly: "Chief guard, since you already know why I'm here, why bother to beat around the bush with me?"

"Haha, the Prime Minister really knows the current affairs." The man in red smiled instead of anger, but the spear in his hand was ready to go. "Gu Yanxi, Your Majesty invites you to the 'Heaven Dungeon' to recuperate your mind. After recuperating, you must become more aware of current affairs. Why don't you hurry up and thank the Lord for your grace!"

"Oh?" Gu Yanxi raised a handsome eyebrow, with a slightly surprised look on his face, but the corner of his mouth was full of out-and-out teasing: "No wonder the Red Army's best elite came out tonight, and it really wasn't for gossiping with me in this wilderness Homely, but..." He suddenly raised his lips and struck out with a palm. This palm rushed towards the red-clothed army in front like a stormy sea, bringing up thousands of smoke and dust, but when the palm wind approached, the stormy momentum turned again. The power of the mountains and rocks is as heavy as a thousand junctures. For a while, the air surges like mountains and landslides, and it is as difficult to parry as if the top of a mountain is crushed. hard to find.

With just one palm, more than half of the Red Zero Army in front fell down, and everyone's eyes showed fear.

Gu Yanxi turned back his arms, closed his palms, and stood tall. The cold wind made his clothes creak and his hair fluttered. When he was young, he fought all over the world and became famous all over the world. At this time, the domineering aura of a king is completely natural.

He coldly stared at Chi Ling, who had retreated three feet away, and said slowly: "You guys underestimate me too!"

The head of the guard was still holding the long spear, and he suddenly leaped forward. Unexpectedly, he could make a "thousand-mile leap" lightly, and he was in front of Gu Yanxi in an instant, and the spear pointed straight at his throat. As soon as it fell, the cold light suddenly stopped just a few centimeters away from the fatal place.

Gu Yanxi, on the other hand, remained motionless from the beginning to the end, her brows and eyes were indifferent.

Withdrawing the spear, the chief guard said grimly: "Your Majesty said that you will be captured alive, but I really want to kill you right now."

"Why?" Gu Yanxi's face was indifferent, indifferent, and indifferent. It seemed that she was just detached from things, but in fact she was arrogant with nothing in her eyes.Normally, with this expression, he only let others see his aloofness, and no one could see his arrogance, but today it was the opposite.

"Because I just realized today that treason is too easy for a person like you. No, it should be said that many things in this world are too easy for you." Indeed, today's Gu Yanxi is too different from usual Big difference.No one in the government and the public knows that Prime Minister Gu is a gentle and humble gentleman as gentle as jade and quiet as water, and a humerus minister who is respectful, courteous and profoundly understands righteousness. Although he is usually a little cold, how has he ever been so domineering and unruly?

So when King Xiang issued a secret order to him, he said that the prime minister had the intention of treason and ordered him to arrest him and return him to the court.At first he didn't believe it, but what happened tonight suddenly convinced him.

"Rebellion? So that's the crime." Gu Yanxi glanced thoughtfully at the mass grave behind him, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

The chief guard looked up at the moon, a barely visible smile flashed across his face, he suddenly shook off the red cloak on his body, whistled, and attacked Gu Yanxi with lightning speed .

Gu Yanxi calmly flashed sideways, and suddenly jumped up, flying a distance of more than ten feet in the blink of an eye, and the white shadow drifted past silently.This move "Treading Snow Without Trace" is unexpectedly superior to the previous "Leaping a Thousand Miles".

Gu Yanxi doesn't want to disturb the soul that has long been sleeping under the Nine Springs. In this life, I am afraid that all he can do for him is these insignificant things, so it is imperative for him to take the battlefield away from the chaotic graveyard.

The chief guard was slightly surprised. He didn't know if the prime minister had concealed himself well or was suddenly possessed by a god. He only heard that he had the name of "Military God" in his marching formation, and he was indeed somewhat heroic on the battlefield, but he was really unexpected. It turned out that he was actually a hidden master.

In an instant, the red tassel followed closely, and a long spear swept over with great momentum, every thrust and thrust brought strong wind, and a disturbing mysterious sound was drawn in the air.Gu Yanxi moved with every step, only defending but not attacking, and occasionally swiping a palm was just to strike eastward and westward, to suspend the continuous shadow of guns.

The chief guard frowned, as if he had been aroused by this "unable to hold on" style of play, he suddenly turned his spear and swept towards the opponent's foot.Gu Yanxi changed his pace slightly and avoided it easily, but he didn't expect that the next shot would come right after him, and the opponent seemed to concentrate all his strength on his leg.Sure enough, Gu Yanxi's figure was no longer as flexible as before, and her movements were also slightly stagnant.

"You really deserve to be one of the top ten masters in Jianghu, 'Double Character Spear' Zuo Tong." Gu Yanxi smiled slightly at the other party, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Is the prime minister complacent about his ability to recognize talents?" Zuo Tong made a move of "sweeping thousands of troops" followed by a set of "flowers like brocade". The two kinds of strength are born and accompanied, so that Gu Yanxi's feet are no longer as comfortable as before, and she put away the playful elements and started to deal with it seriously.

"But you don't seem to be grateful for my kindness." Gu Yanxi said lazily while avoiding a shot to the left.

"Because I have only the heart of loyalty to the emperor." At this time, Zuo Tong suddenly poured all his strength into the tip of the spear, and stabbed the opponent's "Zusanli" at the speed of a meteor, but for some reason, he suddenly stopped when he had already stabbed. , the tip of the gun sank and changed from a stab to a pick, and the pick went to the hamstring.During this sudden change, the long spear turned into two pieces, turning the long spear into a double mace. Zuo Tong continued to attack with his left hand, while his right hand attacked the extra piece of weapon out of thin air towards Gu Yanxi's face. When the opponent was counting inches, a sharp edge suddenly grew out, which was about to pierce Gu Yanxi's pupils.

He smiled, as if he had won the game.

But the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.

At this moment, his smile froze on his face, and his expression was indescribably weird.

Gu Yanxi, with just one move, managed to dodge all his painstaking moves, but he didn't see how he dodged them, he just felt that he just swung back gently like this, it was extremely simple This life-and-death crisis was resolved.In this battle, he didn't have to exert any effort, but he exhausted all his energy.

From now on, Zuo Tong really believed in what King Xiang Ji Yiran said to him, he finally stopped fighting with his pride, and he wanted to use his final trump card: the trump card given to him by the high emperor, The trump card he thought he would never use.

But now he already knew that if he didn't use that trump card, he wouldn't be able to take anyone away today.

Of course, if it wasn't for that trump card, he would never have known that the real Gu Yanxi would be so difficult!

There was another whistle, different from the short one just now, this time the whistle sounded extremely long.At this time, there was a sudden melodious flute sound in the forest, and the lingering sound of fairy music fluttered.

Maybe it is just an ethereal and elegant piece of music to others, but it is not like this to Gu Yanxi's ears. This piece of music is a nightmare that has entangled him for many years, and it is also a sentiment that has drawn him for many years. He frowned, that indifferent, The cold and indifferent expression finally changed into a deadpan expression, and he seemed to understand something at this moment.

"Hmph, treason? Wouldn't it be more accurate to say it's collaborating with the enemy and treason?" Gu Yanxi thought to herself mockingly.

He really didn't want to listen any more, so he used Qi Yungong, turned around and jumped up, not wanting to stay here for a moment.But he suddenly found that his sea of ​​qi became empty, his true qi stagnated in the main points and could not circulate, his feet were floating, his limbs were weak, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

"Xianyun sevent?" He seemed to be asking Zuo Tong, but also seemed to be answering himself.

Xianyun seven accents: Once you hear this song, you will be a rich and noble man of Xianyun Yehe from then on.

Gu Yanxi smiled, all her martial arts has been exhausted, so what should I do if I don't stay idle?This highly poisonous poison makes for a leisurely mood, but who knows that it is so vicious and ruins the future of a person's life.He suddenly thought of the glass of "Lushan Yunwu" he drank in the palace tonight, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He looked at Zuo Tong, his heart became clear, and he didn't feel anxious. He actually talked about the allusion of this poison to himself: "The seven-tone of Xianyun was made by the leader of Tianmo Sect, Du Zun's dumb red tone. It is listed as one of the top ten strange poisons in Jianghu. It has been lost for many years since the death of the dumb red sound. The wonder of this poison is that it is divided into two parts - the poison is laid by the rhythm, but it needs to be colorless, tasteless and non-toxic However, the precious medicine with nourishing effect is used as medicine, so it is extremely difficult to be noticed. After taking this medicine for four hours, and then hearing the "seven-fold magic sound" customized for it, it will be poisoned. If you don’t hear it, the effect of the medicine will be lost. That’s why you just looked up at the moon and watched the time. As the name suggests, the “sevenfold magic sound” has seven types of tunes in the seven-fold rhythm. As soon as the poisoned person is successful, after all the seven changes of Qubayin San have been used, seven of the poisoned people's powers have been dispersed, but the remaining three successful powers are fatally imprisoned—cannot be used or discarded—once If you use the three success powers, you will break your tendons and die suddenly; these three success powers are dormant in your body but you can't use them at all. You always remind yourself of what kind of young hero you used to be, and you always tell yourself that this is the time. How depraved and precarious, it makes people exhausted and tortured, from now on the end of the hero, the heart is disheartened." He spoke slowly, as if he was telling an anecdote that had nothing to do with him. relevant.

"The prime minister is well-informed, and he knows the elegant meaning by hearing the strings. In this case, he should know that it is better to reward less for this song at this time and this place." Zuo Tong whistled again, and at this time several people came out from the dark, The weapons in his hands are different, and they are all dressed in the same red clothes as Zuo Tong.

"Is this the real 'Red Zero Army'?" Although it was a question, Gu Yanxi's tone was extremely affirmative, "Isn't it too much of a fuss for the top [-] masters in the world to gather here today to capture me? gone?"

"At the beginning, I also felt that making a fuss out of a molehill was a big deal, so I kept fighting with you and letting you play tricks. Although I underestimated the prime minister with my shallow knowledge, my Lord Shengming did not take you lightly. Your lord should be deeply honored to have set up an array."

Gu Yanxi looked around, sighed softly and said, "Yiran, why bother?" His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and everyone present could only see his lips move slightly, then he lifted his sleeves, and a burst of floral fragrance hit his face, although the fragrance There is no color and no trace, but everyone feels that there is a moonlight in front of them, quiet and pleasant, the vastness seems to be controlled by the wind without knowing where it stops, and the fluttering seems to be independent as the immortals, and the body and mind are relieved.

Just in this trance, several streaks of red light suddenly pierced through this misty fairyland, and then the blood color melted into the moonlight, faintly turning into a seductive pink.I don't know if the blood is scattered in the scent of flowers, or the scent of flowers is filled with blood, but ten miles away from the graveyard, a group of people are spraying blood and dancing with hands and feet. The scene is mysterious.

And the flute sound that had been weeping like complaints also stopped abruptly, and even the slightest lingering sound disappeared.

Zuo Tong didn't know what happened, but felt suddenly hugged by the melting moonlight, and an unspeakable peace and joy surged in his heart, but in an instant, he felt pain and piercing pain, his whole body was burning like a fire, and he became more and more greedy for it. The gentleness of the moonlight is like water, and the more I don't want to get out of that illusion.

But at this time, everything has disappeared, Shilifen is still Shilifen, and the third night is still the third night.

How can we find even a little bit of clues in the wild grass?

What is the beautiful scenery and the moon, what is the fragrance of flowers all over the sky, that happy fairyland is just a yellow beam dream, and after waking up from the big dream, it is the heartache and hot eyes.

Dozens of masters fell or lay down and were seriously injured. Their bright red coats were mottled with blood, and the red oozing out of the red was even more shocking.

Seeing that his success was on the verge of failure, Zuo Tong held his maces together, and stared directly at Gu Yanxi with resentment, but there was a little bit of fear and shock in them, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you?"

"I am the Prime Minister of Daxiang Kingdom, Gu Yanxi." He stood there quietly, with his hands behind his back, without any extra movement, as calm as water and as bright as the moon.

"Don't worry, I will go back with you, some things have to be settled after all"
