Gu Pan Lanling

"That's exactly what I'm here for."

Gao Changgong's tone was inexplicably more dignified.

Gu Zimo also restrained his joking tone, "Your Highness, do you suspect that someone manipulated this matter? This city is one of the important checkpoints in the Northern Qi Dynasty. It is connected to the lifeline of our country. If something goes wrong... our country Then there is the danger of subjugation..."

"That's right, even you can see it? That's true. If someone uses the theory of ghosts to shake this city, I'm afraid it won't be long before this city becomes a ruined city. At that time, those who are interested will openly build plank roads and secretly cross Chencang... "

"Does Your Majesty know about this?" Gu Zimo suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What do you think?"

"Could it be... the prime minister?" Gu Zimo suddenly thought of Gao Wen's words. For his own benefit, he should not be threatened. , even if he knew that he would not seek power and usurp the throne, he would still find a way to get rid of him.

However, those of them want to move Gao Changgong, but they can't force it, otherwise even if Gao Changgong refuses to rebel, it will cause a situation of forcing the palace. Therefore, Mingxiu plank road secretly crosses Chencang, unites with outsiders...to eradicate dissidents...

"Is he crazy? He actually colluded with the enemy country to frame his own country's generals! Your Highness, if this Xicheng is lost, you will suffer from the enemy in future battles. Oh my god, the prime minister is really crazy. Although this restricts you, it is allowing the enemy country to occupy you It’s a huge bargain... You are like this, which is equivalent to putting the country in dire straits, if your majesty knows..."

"Do you think that if His Majesty did not instruct this move, the prime minister alone can make the decision?"

"You mean, even His Majesty?"

Gu Zimo suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

But when a person is desperate to achieve his own selfishness, it turns out to be so scary.

How can I say that Gao Changgong is also a member of the Gao family, as well as his relatives.

Why would the Holy Majesty be like this...

"Ever since my battle at Mangshan, His Majesty has been at odds with me, and it's only a matter of time to deal with me. In the past few years, I have been trying to find ways to restrain Northern Zhou. Therefore, since the Battle of Mangshan, Northern Zhou has not Dare to invade our country.

But... I was still in a hurry. I asked them to join forces with the enemy country to do such a thing, and many people in Xicheng have been persecuted. "

"Your Highness, don't blame yourself, haven't we come here? Let's find a way together, there must be a way... As long as we can prevent the men in the city from being persecuted, and find out what the way those women are..."

Before Gu Zimo finished speaking, Gao Changgong reached out and took his hand, "No matter what happens, don't leave my sight, let alone let go of my hand, this city is very dangerous now, especially for those who don't know martial arts For men."

Gu Zimo held Gao Changgong's hand back, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will hold your hand firmly."

Not long after the two walked out, a figure in the dark was hidden in the darkness.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Gu Zimo noticed that Gao Changgong's pace was slightly hurried, and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay." Gao Changgong shook his head, and the person who watched them secretly seemed to have left, "Let's go, the market in front is still very lively, if you see anything you want to buy later, tell me."

"But, we're not here..."

"There's still plenty of time, don't be in a hurry, today, let's go for a casual stroll."

Gu Zimo breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes."

The two arrived at the busiest block of the market.

Gu Zimo saw a booth of sugar figurines, and one of the sugar figurines was particularly lifelike.

"temple……"

"What did you call me?"

Gao Changgong's words reminded Gu Zimo that it was indeed inappropriate to call His Highness on such an occasion, so he hurriedly changed his words, "Brother..."

Gao Changgong was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.However, in turn, his mood suddenly improved.

"Ah."

"Well, bro, I want to buy this sugar figurine...have you brought the money?"

Gu Zimo really thought that the sugar figurine was very good-looking, and he looked very similar to Gao Changgong.

Gao Changgong took out the money and handed it to Gu Zimo. Gu Zimo hurriedly took the money, "Sister-in-law, I want this sugar man."

"Master, you have a good eye, this sugar figurine is the best seller..."

"This candy man looks familiar, sister-in-law, who is it?"

"This one, but my hero of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the God of War King Lanling, it's just a pity that I couldn't see the real King Lanling, so I can only make it according to the portrait..."

"You can pinch it like this according to the portrait. Sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is really good. I have seen King Lanling, and he is exactly the same as this sugar man..."

"Really? It turns out that Young Master and King Lanling know each other, so this sugar figurine is given to Young Master..."

"How good is this...the money still has to be given..."

"His Royal Highness Lanling killed countless enemies for the people of the world. We all love him. He is our hero, son. Since you know His Royal Highness Lanling, I really can't accept your money for this sugar man. Bar……"

Gu Zimo still wanted to persuade the sister-in-law, but Gao Changgong tugged at her sleeve, "Since she is kind, you can accept it."

"Young master, accept it..."

"Okay then, thank you, sister-in-law."

After taking the sugar figurine, Gu Zimo grinned from ear to ear, but felt embarrassed, "It's like I'm taking advantage of it, eh...but this sugar figurine really looks like you..."

"So, you bought this sugar man who is exactly like me, because you want to eat me?"

Gu Zimo couldn't see Gao Changgong's face under the cloak, but from Gao Changgong's tone, he could guess that he must be smiling.

"I just ate you, why? You don't accept it, you don't accept it, let the sister-in-law pinch me to eat!"

As Gu Zimo said, he stuffed the sugar figurine into his cloak and took a bite, "Wow, it's so sweet and delicious!"

Gao Changgong shook his head helplessly, "He's really a child who hasn't grown up."

"Your Highness, what is that?"

It was the first time that Gu Zimo saw the two small figures making various movements like shadows, and someone was there to explain.

"That's shadow puppetry, which existed in the Han Dynasty."

"Wow, this is shadow puppetry? I know. I have heard about the origin of shadow puppetry. It is said that Mrs. Li, the concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, died of illness. The road meets a child playing with a doll in his hand, and the shadow is reflected on the ground vividly? Li Shaoweng's heart moved, and he cut the image of Mrs. Li out of cotton and silk, painted it with colors, and installed wooden poles on his hands and feet. At night, he surrounded the square with curtains and lit candles. , I respectfully invite the emperor to sit in the tent and watch it. After watching Long Yan Daoyue, Emperor Wu couldn't put it down... Shadow puppetry has been spread around the world since then..."

"Well, even so, many of my crafts have been lost in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Now, only Xicheng has shadow puppet shows."

Gao Changgong's words suddenly made Gu Zimo's heart heavy.

If Xicheng falls, then... let alone the shadow puppet show will be lost, it will be these innocent people who will suffer...

Although Gu Zimo's heart is not so big, he cares about the life and death of the common people, but when he thinks about that kind sugar seller's wife and the old man who performs shadow puppetry, if they are all affected by the war... Zimo could hardly breathe.

"Your Highness, we must not let the thieves succeed! We must stop them!"

Gu Zimo was more determined than ever, even if everything was at stake, he would stop it.

After returning from the outside, Gu Zimo took a bath, lay down, and fell asleep.

Gao Changgong waited for Gu Zimo to fall asleep before getting out of bed and walking out.

Su Zhe and Dong Ming have been waiting for a long time.

"Your Highness..."

"Have you found anything?"

"Your Highness, as you expected, the man in black did pass the letter to the prime minister's mansion. This time, the danger of Xicheng is definitely in the hands of the prime minister. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. This time I am afraid..."

"It's okay, continue to send people to monitor their every move. In addition, I will give you and Dong Ming a task."

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

……

After Gao Changgong left, Dong Ming looked at Su Zhe, looked Su Zhe up and down, "Are you sure you want to carry out this task? I don't think you are more suitable than me. Otherwise, I'd better come forward and tell His Highness that I will come Bar."

"What is senior brother trying to do? It's rare to have such a good task, but senior brother wants to fight with me. I'm afraid it's not kind!"

Su Zhe glanced at Dong Ming helplessly, then went to the wing room.

Dong Ming hurriedly followed in. Seeing that Su Zhe was about to take off his clothes, he had to turn his back, "Your martial arts are not as good as mine. I'm just worried that you will mess up the matter. This matter concerns the whole city of Xi..."

"But His Highness has already agreed, which means that His Highness also thinks that I am more suitable than you for this mission. Brother, I know that such a good job falls on my head. You must be envious in your heart. Don't worry, there will be such a good job next time." , I will definitely not fight with you. So, this time, don't rob me."

After Su Zhe changed his clothes, he pushed Dong Ming, "What are you doing, brother, take a look at my outfit? Does it look like a weak scholar with the strength to bind a chicken?"

When Dong Ming turned around, he saw that Su Zhe was wearing revealing clothes, his chest was half open, and he could almost see his chest rising and falling slightly with his breathing.

"you you……"

"Since Your Highness has entrusted me with the task, in order to be safe, I think it's okay to sacrifice a little color. Besides, I still have confidence in my figure..."

Before he finished speaking, Dong Ming roughly reached out and pulled Su Zhe's collar up.

"What are you doing, brother...don't wrinkle my clothes..."

"You have no brains at all! Your Highness asked you to perform a mission, but didn't ask you to turn yourself into such a ghost!"

Su Zhe slapped Dong Ming away, feeling a little helpless at Dong Ming's behavior, "Brother, you must be jealous of me!"

"I'm jealous of you?" Dong Ming didn't even know what Su Zhe was thinking.

"Brother, if you're not jealous of me, then you can't trust me? What do you think of me, Suzhe? I swore in front of my patriarch that I would never talk about my children's affairs until the Northern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed. As for This mission is just a mission. Therefore, an appropriate sacrifice is nothing, as long as the mission can be completed..."

After Su Zhe finished speaking, he found that there was no movement. When he turned around, he found that Dong Ming had disappeared.

"Brother?"
