Gu Pan Lanling

When he woke up, he was already in the carriage. Gao Changgong didn't break his promise, and finally took him out of the inn. Like a dream, they seemed to have returned to the past.

Even in the carriage, he didn't say a word, but as long as he raised his head, he could see that person by his side.

Gu Zimo didn't ask where he was going. For him, perhaps, wherever Gao Changgong went, he should be there.

As for the war between the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, that was a major national event, and it was not up to him, a commoner, to worry about it...

As for the real reason of Gao Changgong's poisoning and injury, Gu Zimo never wanted to think about it. Some things were destined to be troublesome to think about, so he simply put them all behind.

The carriage arrived in Tin City three days later.

Xicheng is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with beautiful scenery and a lot of local specialties. When Gu Zimo arrived in Xicheng, the whole Xicheng was already a bustling and prosperous scene.

After getting out of the carriage, as soon as he landed, several figures stepped forward and warmly held his hand, "Young Master, I have seen you. Seeing that you are safe, I can feel at ease..."

"Gao... Manager Gao?"

Gu Zimo's eyes widened, and he looked at Gao Wen in disbelief. Gao Wen in front of him seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

The people behind Gao Wen were none other than Gao Changgong's cronies, Su Zhe and Dong Ming were all there.

"Long time no see, Master Gu."

Su Zhe and Dong Ming stepped forward to greet Gu Zimo one after another.

"Long time no see, Suzhe, Dongming...By the way, why are you here?"

"Subordinate..."

Su Zhe and the others looked at Gao Changgong next to Gu Zimo with some hesitation.

Gao Changgong stood there, although there was not much expression on his face, but his picturesque eyebrows and eyes were exceptionally soft.

Seeing that everyone was looking at Gao Changgong, Gu Zimo thought that Gao Changgong was here, so they didn't want to say much, so they turned around and asked Gao Changgong, "Your Highness, why are they here? Are they waiting for us specially?"

"Probably." Gao Changgong said, but raised his eyes to Gao Wen and nodded.

Gao Wen hurriedly stepped forward and said to Gu Zimo: "Mr. Zimo, I must be tired from traveling and traveling. I will take you to eat some food. Let's rest early."

"It's still Manager Gao who is thoughtful, I'm starving..."

"Master Zimo, please follow me."

Gao Wen respectfully led the way, and Gu Zimo followed closely. After walking a few steps, something was wrong. When he turned his head, Gao Changgong, Su Zhe and others had disappeared.

"them……"

Gu Zimo wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Gao Wen, "My lord, Your Highness must have some important discussions with the adults, and we can't help you here, why don't you go to rest earlier..."

"But……"

"Don't worry, His Highness will definitely come back to see you soon after finishing important matters."

Although Gu Zimo was worried, he didn't know where Gao Changgong had gone, so he had to go back to the post with Gao Wen.

"here it is……"

"This is His Highness's territory, you don't need to suppress yourself, you can do whatever you want."

"Director Gao, the whole city...Lanling Prince's Mansion, won't we be able to go back in the future?"

Although the post house was nice, Gu Zimo didn't have any affection for it. On the contrary, it was the Lanling Prince's Mansion, which was occupied by the enemy, and he had too much reluctance to give up there.

"Don't worry, my lord. Your Highness is invincible. The occupation of the whole Yongcheng in the Northern Zhou Dynasty is just a stopgap measure. When His Highness regains his strength, he will definitely take back the whole Yongcheng!"

Gu Zimo's eyes lit up with Gao Wen's firm tone, "Is this true? Will His Highness really take back the entire city?"

I talked to Gao Changgong about Quanyong City before, but Gao Changgong didn't make a clear statement, so that Gu Zimo thought that Gao Changgong had given up Quanyong City.

Hearing Gao Wen's words this time, Gu Zimo's heart was filled with excitement.

"Although the entire Yongcheng city was occupied by the enemy this time, the people were not harmed. In fact, His Royal Highness's move was intentional. The young master is very high-ranking, so I don't want to hide it from the young master. At that time, there were internal and external troubles. , His Highness pretended to send people to attack Zishui City in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the purpose should be to lure snakes out of their holes.

Sure enough, the prime minister couldn't sit still, and reported to His Majesty to impeach His Highness, and His Highness deliberately gave up the whole city for this drama..."

"I understand, so now, the imperial court's doubts about His Highness have been eliminated..."

"It can't be said that it has been completely eliminated. If the prime minister's clique is not eliminated for a day, His Highness will be in an embarrassing situation. And...the power of the prime minister is deeply intertwined, and with the blessing of the Holy Spirit, it is really not easy to eradicate it...unless..."

"unless?"

"It's nothing, I didn't say anything, young master, go and rest, I will pass the meal to you."

Gao Wen's flickering gaze made Gu Zimo clearly aware of the ghost.

"Don't go, Manager Gao, you haven't finished talking just now, you haven't told me, unless there is something!"

"This……"

"Director Gao, you keep saying that I am His Highness's person, and you still have to hide something from me? Do you not trust me? I can swear that I will never betray His Highness in this life! If I violate it... Heaven will be destroyed!"

"Hey, what are you doing, son, I'm just...just..."

"Director Gao, don't hesitate to vomit, tell me quickly, if there is a way to help His Highness, we should also try to share your worries for His Highness!"

"Hey, if you say this, you will lose your head..."

Gao Wen looked around, made sure that there was no one around, leaned into Gu Zimo's ear and said, "Actually, the young master also knows that with His Highness in control, he is invincible and knows how to use people well. When His Highness ascends the throne, those treacherous ministers will be wiped out..."

"Your Highness...become the emperor?" Gu Zimo was indeed taken aback. It's not like he never thought about this possibility.

Indeed, the current emperor is stupid, if Gao Changgong succeeds to the throne, the people of the world will surely enjoy peace, and Gao Changgong also has that ability, he is even better than what Gao Wen said, he is definitely a natural born emperor.

It's just why, Gao Changgong obviously has such ability, but why hasn't he moved his mind?

The imperial power is supremacy, so many people have fought for that position since ancient times, and if Gao Changgong wanted that position, it would not be difficult, so why didn't he seize the throne?

After all, in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the drama of killing brothers and seizing the throne is already very common.

Even the Supreme Emperor Gao Zhan's throne was won by stepping on the bones of his brothers...

"That's right, if it's on the Ninth Five-Year Plan, His Highness will be able to respond to everything, so who else in the imperial court will be in trouble?"

Gawain sighed again as he spoke.

Gu Zimo was puzzled, even Gao Wen and he knew about it, why would Gao Changgong...

"Your Highness...hasn't he thought of replacing him?"

Being in the royal family, he grew up surrounded by intrigues, and Gao Changgong is such a wise and resourceful person, it is impossible not to think about that position.

"No..." Gawain sighed and shook his head.

"No? How could there be no? He... Could it be that he really has no desires?" Gu Zimo didn't believe it, and Gao Wen guessed that he couldn't trust himself and lied to himself.

"What I said is true. Before the Supreme Emperor was appointed as the Holy Majesty, he approached His Highness, and the meaning was very clear. He wanted His Highness to replace the Holy Majesty as the emperor.

But, His Highness, he refused... His Highness, he has no intention of the throne, no intention of the high throne, those of us around, all know it well...

However, the current Holy Majesty and those who are afraid of the military power in the hands of His Highness don't think so. They just want to eradicate those who threaten them. Even if that person works hard to defend them against powerful enemies, their suspicions cannot be eliminated ..."

"I don't understand, I really don't understand, Your Highness is not the kind of person who is indecisive and will be hindered by something. Since the Supreme Emperor intends to make him emperor, why did he refuse...worried that he can't govern the world well? But his talent is clearly above the current Holy Master..."

"Your Highness didn't agree to the Supreme Emperor, it's not because of this reason."

"What's that for?"

Gu Zimo's heart twitched, feeling that he knew too little about Gao Changgong.

"Because... once he ascends to that throne, he will become an invincible person in the world. However, it is impossible for him to spend his whole life with the person he loves the most. Therefore, His Highness, for that person, he gave up the world at his fingertips.

Perhaps, to His Highness, that person is more important than the world and everything else.Therefore, he would rather be in dire straits every day and be suspected by others than to let that person suffer the slightest harm. "

Gao Wen sighed heavily again, but Gu Zimo was even more confused.

"Director Gao, I don't understand what you said, is there any conflict between His Highness calling the emperor the emperor and being with his beloved?

Why choose one of the two?Could it be that His Highness's sweetheart came from a humble background and couldn't be enshrined as a queen?

But, even so, the big deal is that if you accept her as the concubine, you can stay together for the rest of your life... Your Highness, why is he..."

"Hey, young master doesn't understand, it's because of that person..."

"Director Gao, what are you talking about?" Hulu Xuda suddenly appeared, interrupting Gao Wen's unfinished sentence.

Gu Zimo glared at Hu Luxuda in dissatisfaction, "You really know how to show up when you choose!"

"Hey, why, I'm here, Xiao Mo is not happy?"

When Huluxuda spoke, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Gao Wen who was aside, shook his head at Gao Changgong, and Gao Wen hurriedly backed away.

Gu Zimo wanted to call Gao Wen to stop, but was dragged into the house by Hu Luxuda.

"Look at this house..."

As soon as Hulu Xuda finished speaking, Gu Zimo discovered that the layout of this room was actually the same as his room in the whole city.

His eye sockets became hot instantly, and he felt something trembling violently in his chest.

"This...here..."

"I personally ordered someone to move this for you from the palace of Quanyong City. Oh, I'm exhausted. How are you? I just saw my expression like that. Xiaomo, you really pierce my heart." It's..."

"Suda, thank you, I didn't expect you to be so kind to me..."

Gu Zimo grabbed Hulu Xuda's hand, very excited.

Hulu Xuda looked smug, "Hmph, now you know me? How are you going to repay me?"

When Gu Zimo heard the repayment, his face became sad.

Touching the empty purse, "I... I'm short on cash right now... If you want a present, I'm afraid I'll have to..."

"Who wants a vulgar thing that can be bought with money? I want you..."

"Want me?"

Gu Zimo's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost fainted from fright. When did Hu Luxuda become like this?

He... isn't he the one who claims to be the fiercest general in Northern Qi Dynasty and will marry ten wives and concubines in the future?
