Once upon a time there was a mountain of secrets

It was night, everything was silent, and it seemed that only the beating of candles in the palace gave signs of life and the passage of time.

The huge Wuwang Temple is the same as usual, but it is different.

The same thing is that the eunuchs and maids are on duty as usual, but what is different is that His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince are currently playing chess in Wuwang Palace, and no one is allowed to wait on them.

The Wuwang Hall is rarely used on weekdays. This hall is usually just a place for reading. It is not that there are many books in it, but this place is quiet, and there is only one palace standing here, so no one will disturb it, so this is a good place to study.

But now, Gu Moqian and Gu Haizhi are playing chess inside.

The dim candlelight was covered by a white lampshade, but it became brighter and brighter, and generally there was no candle shadow shaking.But now there is, because the candle in the lampshade is about to burn out and starts to burst into sparks, writhing and struggling restlessly.

No one changed candles for them, because Gu Haizhi ordered no one to disturb their father-son game.

At the time of the child, everything is silent.

The black and white twins on the chessboard have finally finished fighting, and it seems that they have neither lost nor won, so it is hard to tell whether it is joy or anger.

Gu Moqian narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, like a scheming fox.

And the one who was more scheming than him was his father sitting opposite him.

Gu Moqian does not look very much like Gu Haizhi, Gu Hai is nearly forty years old, but he is well cared for.In fact, if Gu Moqian's name and appearance were not so enchanting, Gu Haizhi would also be a handsome man.

But sitting with Gu Moqian, they are just like brothers.Absolutely can't tell it's father and son.

Tonight is very special, even Eunuch An, who has been by Gu Haizhi's side all the time, just guards the door.So a game of chess is over, and Nan Hui's two most noble people return home by themselves.

In the end, the son-in-law of Gu Hai won.

In this sensitive night and silent palace, this result undoubtedly created infinite strangeness in the hearts of the two of them.

Gu Haizhi smiled and said: "It seems that Jiang is still old and spicy."

Gu Mo smiled faintly, a little wickedly, as if he was the one who won. "Father, have you forgotten the number of times you lost to your son?"

Looking at Gu Moqian, Gu Haizhi felt a little emotional, and even regretted why he gave birth to a prince so early in the first place?If he is old and frail, it would be a blessing to see such an excellent prince.

It's a pity, his prince is too good and ambitious.And he himself is not old, so he is destined not to abdicate prematurely willingly.

"Only the final winner is the real winner."

"Thank you for your father's teaching, my son will definitely be the winner in the end."

Gu Haizhi smiled lightly, a bit mediocre, but in his eyes there were hatred, vigilance, calculation, and very little appreciation.

Sure enough, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.Gu Haizhi sighed in his heart.

"It seems that the prince is very confident."

"Many people say that the minister is very similar to the father, isn't it?"

"Oh? I only heard that you look like your mother."

Gu Moqian clenched his hands slightly in his sleeves, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. "They all said that my temper is most like my father's."

Gu Haizhi smiled, as if he was really thinking about this problem.Finally he got the answer, then nodded and said: "Indeed. This kind of character that does whatever it takes to achieve the goal is indeed like me."

"Compared with the father, it is naturally worse."

Gu Haizhi nodded, and said as if pointing straight: "Emotions are the most taboo existence for those who achieve great things. In this regard, the prince is really bad. Don't take advantage of it, and finally trap yourself in it, but it's very sad. .”

The hand under Gu Moqian's sleeve clenched again.

In fact, Gu Moqian had a natural awe towards Gu Haizhi.It's probably like a father always has the ability to intimidate his son, so Gu Moqian is actually very nervous.

"Thank you father for your guidance."

Gu Haizhi smiled, and then raised his voice, "What time is it?"

Wuwang Hall was very quiet and empty, so Gu Haizhi's voice was a little louder, so that Eunuch An outside could hear him clearly.

Through the door, Eunuch An saluted, and then said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the time has just passed."

Gu Haizhi turned his head to look at the moonlight outside the window, and muttered to himself: "Oh, so it's been so long."

But Gu Moqian smiled and said, "Didn't Father say that we will fight against dawn? It's still early."

Gu Haizhi smiled and said, "Indeed, tonight has just begun."

The two people are tacit, but they both understand that they might not see each other tomorrow.And tonight is destined to be a night that changes history.

"The emperor's son is so impatient, it makes the father a little sad."

"It's not that the son can't wait, but that the father can't sit still."

Gu Haizhi looked at his son, to be honest, this was the first time he looked at him so carefully.Gu Moqian is very good-looking, even very evil, very similar to his mother and concubine, both of them are so beautiful.But with his personality, the city is extremely deep, scheming, like a fox.

Obviously it is his inheritance, the best successor in this country.But why I still loathe him so much, I haven't shown it, but my heart is filled with incomparable loathing.Before, Gu Haizhi didn't understand why he hated his son so much, but now he understands, it's not disgust, but jealousy.

Even though Gu Haizhi was unwilling to admit that he would be afraid before, but now he must admit that he is afraid, and he has been afraid of him since the first time the child showed his murderous intentions.

When did this child show his murderous intentions?

"Oh, it seems to be the child named Li Maoqiu, right?" Gu Haizhi spoke out the thoughts in his heart without thinking, but it was not because he was used to speaking out his thoughts.

Saying it out is just to shake Gu Moqian.

Obviously, when Gu Moqian heard this name, Gu Moqian's body trembled indistinctly.Although it was a momentary tremor, it couldn't escape the eyes of Gu Haizhi, the old fox.

Gu Haizhi smiled contemptuously, then shook his head and said, "You always fail because of feelings, five years ago, and five years later."

Gu Moqian sneered and said, "Could it be that Father thinks that he is sure of victory?"

"Winning is not certain, but you are sure to lose."

"Father is really as confident as ever."

Gu Haizhi sighed, and said: "Yes, you are really too confident, otherwise why would you use you as a wolf to contain the government."

The next few words of Gu Haizhi almost roared out.At the same time, the sound of steel wire sliding was heard, and a dozen men in black slid down from the originally empty palace like spiders.

He moved swiftly, jumping or rolling in front of Gu Moqian without any extra movement, showing his silver weapon to protect him.

And these men in black were divided into two groups, appearing almost at the same time, one wave fell from the roof, and the other wave came out from nowhere to protect Gu Hai, as if they had been in this palace before.

They were also dressed in black, but they had the word 'Emperor' embroidered with gold thread on their chests.

Presumably, he should be the most mysterious dead man in the royal family.

The atmosphere froze in an instant, and all the previous intrigues and schemes were washed away, and the whole hall was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

But at this moment, the sound of fighting appeared outside the palace.The sound of swords clashing was very harsh, and the sound of sharp weapons entering the body made one's heart beat faster.

Li Maoqiu, wearing a peach blossom mask, looked coldly on the palace wall at the bloody storm outside the huge Wuwang Hall.

He and Gu Moqian have been waiting for too many years tonight, either they will live or they will die...
