Chapter 362 Chapter 362 Credit

Gu Nanjin quickly walked back to the door, his tone became colder, and he said calmly to Eunuch Ni outside the door: "Open the door!"

He resisted the urge to knock on the door, anger welling up in his heart.

"Your Highness, please have a good rest." A door away, Eunuch Ni's voice sounded a little distant, respectful and a little alienated.

Gu Nanjin took a deep breath and said patiently: "I want to see my father!"

Eunuch Ni was silent.

Gu Nanjin repeated again: "I want to see my father!" His tone was raised by three points.

There was another moment of silence, and it was quiet outside the door, and the silence continued to spread.

After a while, Eunuch Ni on the other side of the door said: "Your Highness, I will tell the emperor, but..."

But whether the emperor wants to see the prince or not depends on the emperor's own wishes.

Gu Nanjin said dryly: "I understand."

The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away.

Next, there was a long silence, and there was no sound outside.

It was eerily quiet inside and outside the house, except for the sound of drizzle falling in the courtyard.

Gu Nanjin stayed alone in this dormitory, pacing back and forth irritably.

It wasn't until after a cup of tea that another set of footsteps sounded outside the door, approaching this way, becoming increasingly clear.

Then, the door was opened.

Eunuch Ni, holding a silver whisk in his hand, appeared outside the door, saluted Gu Nanjin and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor has invited you."

Behind him were two tall and strong Jin Yi guards.

Gu Nanjin glanced at the two Jinyi guards and felt sarcastic in his heart: Are you afraid that he will escape?

But he walked out of the dormitory without showing anything on his face.

Eunuch Ni walked in front and led Gu Nanjin to the Bisha cabinet in Dongnuan Pavilion.

The emperor was lying on the couch sickly. He was in a similar state to what Gu Nanjin saw yesterday. His face was still sallow and his energy was low, just like an old man in his seventies.

Gu Nanjin walked to a place three steps away from the dragon couch and stopped, bowing to the emperor and saluting: "Father."

After saluting, he straightened up, made eye contact with the emperor on the dragon couch, and asked straight to the point: "Father, what exactly do you want to do?"

The emperor raised his hand, and Eunuch Ni immediately understood the holy intention and helped the emperor sit up. Another round-faced little **** placed a large pillow behind the emperor.

The emperor sighed and showed a loving and tired smile to Gu Nanjin: "Do you know about Kang Hongda and the Chu family? He acted according to my instructions."

Gu Nanjin: "..."

"Prince, I am about to die, and the future of Daqi will depend on you." The emperor's voice was very weak, and his expression was kind and fatherly.

His mood was somewhat emotional, and his chest was rising and falling slightly. Under the illumination of the candlelight, his eyes, which were a little cloudy due to his serious illness, were deep and vast, and the bottom of his eyes reflected light of different shades.

He sighed again, his voice becoming hoarse and vicissitudes of life: "Prince, your Nine Emperors Uncle is powerful and has military power. Now that I am still alive, I can still threaten your Nine Emperors Uncle. Once I am gone... cough Ahem…”

The emperor was so excited that he lowered his head, put his fist to his lips, and coughed several times in succession.

Eunuch Ni quickly stroked the emperor's back and handed him a handkerchief.

The emperor wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and continued tiredly: "Once I am gone and you ascend the throne, I will not be able to suppress your Nine Emperors Uncle. By then, you will have the confidence to keep this great country." ?”

"You are my son. Everything I do is for your own good and for the sake of this great country."

As he spoke, the emperor's voice became hoarse, and even his eyes were red, flashing with tears, and he was worried about his country and his children.

In the blue gauze cupboard, the shadows of candles float.

The candlelight shone on Gu Nanjin's body, casting a long shadow on the ground.

"..." Gu Nanjin looked at the emperor blankly, his thin lips slightly opened.

The emperor raised his hand to signal Gu Nanjin to be silent and did not give him a chance to speak. He continued in a slow and solemn tone: "The prince does not want to be this evil person, so just let me be the one!"

"Brother Jin, just wait, I will give you a stable court, which can be regarded as my father's last devotion to you." The emperor stared deeply into Gu Nanjin's eyes.

Hearing the emperor call him "Brother Jin", Gu Nanjin was moved, his eyelashes trembled and his eyes flashed.

He is Jinshang's first son, and he once enjoyed Jinshang's kindness. When he was a child, Jinshang called him this way: Brother Jin.

It wasn't until the late emperor named him the grandson that he changed from "Brother Jin" to the grandson, and later, he became the prince.

Gu Nanjin's eyes were a little dazed, and his thoughts went back to a long, long time ago, as if it was a lifetime ago.

The emperor was very emotional and choked several times. He took a few deep breaths to calm down his emotions, and then said again: "I know you blame me, but now, I still want to do the last thing for you..."

Following the emperor's affectionate words, Eunuch Ni's eyes turned red, and he silently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.

There is an atmosphere of sadness in the air, thick and depressing, and the deep-seated sadness seems to penetrate into people's skin like the continuous spring rain outside.

This night, the drizzle never stopped, like silk and sand. The spring drizzle has an artistic conception of "free flying flowers are as light as dreams, and boundless silk rain is as thin as sorrow".

The rain continued from night to dawn, and then continued intermittently until the dusk of the next day. The capital city on this day seemed particularly desolate and no longer as lively as usual.

Even ordinary people seemed to feel the heavy breath of the coming storm.

At dusk, the rain stopped, and the sky was as dim as an ink painting. Different shades of ink were painted in the air with large strokes of water and ink.

Under the gaze of everyone, more than a hundred soldiers of the Forbidden Army suddenly dispatched, sealed Prince Chen's Mansion, and surrounded the Prince's Mansion layer by layer, densely.

Only the gentle wind carried the rain among the treetops and drifted into the high walls of the palace.

The air after the rain was filled with thick water vapor, which was exceptionally fresh, and the palace was as usual.

This was Chu Yunyi's first time to experience such a thing, and whenever he thought that it was because of him that Prince Chen's Mansion was being surrounded, he became a little anxious, fearing that he would implicate his sister and Prince Chen's Mansion.

Chu Yunyi walked out of the guest courtyard and headed towards the inner courtyard without anyone stopping him along the way.

The inner courtyard is a place where outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission, but the female family members in the inner courtyard of Prince Chen's Mansion are sparse, with only two mistresses, Queen Mother Yin and Shen Qianchen, living there. Shen Qianchen is Chu Yunyi's biological sister, so there is nothing to avoid.

There were servants saluting him along the way, but Chu Yunyi was absent-minded, immersed in his own thoughts, thinking about what happened since he returned to Beijing from his hometown last year.

A year ago, he was as naive and proud as a blank sheet of paper, living in a self-righteous world.

It wasn't until the cruel truth unfolded in front of him bit by bit that he had to face it. It turned out that his father, aunt, and eldest sister were all different from what he had thought. Everyone's face was covered with a mask...

He decided to join martial arts and devoted himself to learning martial arts. He worked many times harder than before. He wanted to support Shen Qianchen and help his father and Aunt Jiang make up for Shen Qianchen. However, he was still too weak and could not help Shen Qianchen at all. What a busy thing.

Now that the Chu family has been convicted, he, as the eldest son of the Chu family, is humiliated. It is natural for him to return to the Chu family!

In the midst of his thoughts, he came to the gate of the main courtyard. His heart was empty, and he fell into a depressed mood for a while, feeling that he had accomplished nothing.

The little maid guarding the entrance of the courtyard knelt down and saluted him: "Uncle."

"Meow!" The black cat with four white paws seemed to hear his footsteps and ran out briskly to rub against his robe.

Spring is the season when cats shed their hair. After just a few rubs, there were clusters of black hairs on the corners of Chu Yunyi's blue robe.

Chu Yunyi simply leaned over and picked up the black cat, then continued walking inside with it in his arms.

The warm cat pressed against his chest, as if it had injected something into his empty chest...

Chu Yunyi walked through the courtyard gate with firm steps.

The next moment, a crisp laughter penetrated into his ears, like the swaying of a wind chime.

The girl's laughter suddenly made the air lighter.

It was as if the sky suddenly became blue and transparent, and the fragrant air penetrated into his nose with the wind, fresh and clean.

Separated by a door, Chu Yunyi seemed to have traveled from the cold winter lunar month to another world where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant.

Chu Yunyi stopped again, still holding the black cat in his arms, and looked around stupidly.

Not far away, a man and a woman were playing chess face to face in the pavilion. One was dressed in pure moon white, and the other was in dazzling red.

The two of them talked and laughed, and a bright smile filled Shen Qianchen's delicate and beautiful face, which was as radiant as if she had applied bright and bright rouge. The eyes of his brother-in-law, who was usually cold and noble, were so soft that they seemed to overflow with gurgling spring water.

Chu Yunyi was almost stunned, feeling that there was no sense of reality.

Wasn't Prince Chen's Mansion sealed by the Imperial Army? !

Why do my sister and brother-in-law react like this!

He almost pinched his thigh. The black cat twisted in his arms and called out "meow", which attracted the two people in the pavilion to look at him.

Only then did Chu Yunyi come to his senses, and continued walking towards the octagonal pavilion with the cat in his arms. When he walked outside the pavilion, he called out softly: "Sister, brother-in-law."

Gu Jue smiled and nodded, and Shen Qianchen pointed to the stone bench on her right: "Sit."

Chu Yunyi didn't move or sit, and couldn't help but said: "Sister, let me go back."

Just a fool! Shen Qianchen simply rolled his eyes.

"..." Chu Yunyi was shocked.

He has never seen any princess like his sister.

Occasionally, he would inexplicably feel the smell of womanhood from his sister that he had experienced in the military camp, just like now!

Chu Yunyi subconsciously looked at his brother-in-law's face, but saw that Gu Jue was still smiling. Not to mention being disgusted, his brother-in-law seemed to find his sister's behavior very interesting.

Chu Yunyi was stunned, and thought a little sourly: Yes, his sister would do this to him. When facing her brother-in-law, she was like a little sweetheart, hiding her claws well!

Shen Qianchen asked Chu Yunyi angrily: "What did you do when you went back? Were you locked up? It's not enough to lock up a whole family, do you have to get through it yourself?"

Chu Yunyi was speechless.

Shen Qianchen was not polite at all when he lectured his younger brother: "You are indeed a fool. Just like that, you still want to join the army!"

"What? You know that there is an enemy trap in front of you, but you still lead the troops and throw yourself into the trap. The soldiers who follow you are really pitiful!"

"Are you self-sacrificing or self-satisfied?"

Shen Qianchen felt that these words were not enough to express her disdain, so she casually grabbed a sunspot from the chess box and threw it towards Chu Yunyi.

In fact, with Chu Yunyi's skill, he could easily catch the black jade chess piece, but now he was holding the cat, and the black cat was twisting restlessly in his arms, and he was about to scratch it with his claws. With his sleeve, Chu Yunyi could only hold the cat with his left hand and hold the cat's paw with his right hand. He didn't want the black jade chess piece to hit the ground and be damaged, so he let the black jade chess piece hit his left shoulder.

His shoulders moved slightly, and the black piece landed firmly on the upper part of his right foot. Then he kicked his right foot, and the black piece drew a semicircular curve and fell into the chess box.

The chess pieces collided and made a crisp sound.

All this happened in a flash of lightning.

Amber almost didn't laugh out loud and tried hard to keep her face straight. If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, she would have almost applauded Chu Yunyi. The eldest young master played Cuju really well!

Amber still has to look at the atmosphere, but cats don't.

"Meow!"

The black cat trapped by Chu Yunyi barked in displeasure, frantically trying to scratch him.

Chu Yunyi was used to being disliked by Shen Qianchen, so he didn't take her words to heart and retorted: "Sister, that's not what I am like!"

"If I lead troops, of course I will put the overall situation first!"

How could he let his soldiers follow him to seek death! Is he such a ignorant person? !

Chu Yunyi felt that he must clarify his character in front of his brother-in-law!

Gu Jue watched the two siblings bickering quietly without saying a word.

Shen Qianchen raised his eyebrows: "So, if you don't lead soldiers, you can be willful, stupid, and not focus on the overall situation? Do you think that the stupid things you do now can be wiped out in the future and you can convince the public?"

Chu Yunyi: "..."

The black cat kicked Chu Yunyi hard with its two hind legs, and finally escaped from his shackles, leaving only the black hair on his chest, which made the young disciple even more dejected.

Shen Qianchen thought her Yueying was really good, so he quickly gave it a fragrant dried fish.

Yueying went to eat the dried fish with satisfaction, but Chu Yunyi finally reacted and found that he had been foolishly sidetracked by his sister.

He took two deep breaths to calm down his chaotic mind, and sat down next to Shen Qianchen, ignoring the cat hair all over his body for the time being.

Chu Yunyi clenched his fists and said sternly: "Prince Chen's Mansion is surrounded by the Forbidden Army. This is not just what Kang Hongda can do, but it also has something to do with the Emperor, right?"

"Sister, I'm not stupid, I know someone is using me as a raft."

Chu Yunyi's words spoke from his heart.

He is not stupid, he can see that the emperor and Kang Hongda are not dealing with the Chu family, let alone him, but with Prince Chen's Mansion.

Although the Chu family is in chaos, Chu Lingxiao can easily be killed just because his father, Chu Lingxiao, is accused of killing his second uncle, Chu Lingyu. Jingzhao Mansion can take action;

Even if Chu Lingxiao really harbored a bandit in Youzhou, it was just a crime of harboring. The most that could be done was to confiscate the house, and there was no need to cause such a big fight to raise the crime to "treason."

The other party used the name of the Chu family to take action against Prince Chen's Mansion!

As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs.

How could Chu Lingxiao be just such a person with so many misdeeds?

Chu Yunyi felt bitter every time he thought of his father.

A father should be a role model and should have children, but his father turned out to be such a despicable person!

Chu Yunyi tried hard not to fall into the mood of self-pity, which didn't help at all.

He looked at Shen Qianchen firmly and said, "I am just a handle used by 'certain people' to attack Prince Chen's Mansion."

"So, hand me over. Without this handle, the other party will have no idea."

After the last word fell, there was silence again.

Shen Qianchen really wanted to grab another chess piece and throw it at him, but he was too lazy to waste the effort and directly scolded: "Stupid!"

Chu Yunyi: "???"

Chu Yunyi felt that she was too wronged.

What's wrong with him? ! He has obviously grown a lot, okay!

Gu Jue cheered for his little girl: "Stupid!"

Shen Qianchen sang with him and said again with a look of disgust: "Stupid and stupid."

Chu Yunyi: "???"

Facing the critical attacks from her sister and brother-in-law, Chu Yunyi almost wilted, and the pair of invisible cat ears on her head drooped dejectedly, closing in on herself.

"Don't you want to stay in the palace anymore?" Gu Jue showed rare "patience" when dealing with his brother-in-law.

Chu Yunyi nodded affirmatively: "I don't want to."

Shen Qianchen stopped looking at Chu Yunyi and drank scented tea with his head down.

Jiang Yuan didn't even move his eyelids, his eyes quickly passed over Chu Yunyi: the eldest young master of the Chu family knew nothing about the prince.

By the way, since the prince came back from the North, or in other words, after meeting the princess, his methods have become much "gentle".

Gu Jue said calmly: "Then let's go."

Chu Yunyi thought that Gu Jue agreed with him to return to the Chu family, so he stood up, bowed seriously, and wanted to say goodbye, but before he could say anything, Gu Jue's next words came into his ears: "Let's go to Xuanjia Camp. "

"..." Chu Yunyi raised his eyes in astonishment and looked at Gu Jue again. His hands were still in a bowing posture, making him look a little stupid and stupid.

Beside him, the black cat, which had finished eating the dried fish, was squatting there and washing its face with its paws, looking quite leisurely and having nothing to do with itself.

Gu Jue gently brushed away a few black hairs that had reached his sleeves. His eyes did not fall on Chu Yunyi at all, and he said softly: "You are not young anymore. It's time to study hard."

Chu Yunyi still wanted to speak, but when Gu Jue glanced at her lightly, Chu Yunyi felt that her throat was dry and she couldn't make a sound.

Not because of fear, but because I feel as if I have been seen through by the other person inside and out.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Jue turned to Jiang Yuan and asked, "Should Su Mubai take a rest today?"

Jiang Yuan responded, and then was ordered to find Su Mubai.

Chu Yunyi was completely ignored, and Shen Qianchen and Gu Jue continued to play chess.

Next, no one ignored Chu Yunyi again. Shen Qianchen let him stand so stupidly, but Amber "sympathetically" served Chu Yunyi tea. Chu Yunyi sat back down the steps handed by Amber. .

Chu Yunyi could only drink tea. He felt that he was redundant, that is, the cat was willing to give him a look or occasionally come over to give him a nudge.

And his stern sister turned into a soft sweetheart when facing her brother-in-law. Later, she asked her brother-in-law to give her three sons;

After a while, she told her brother-in-law that she asked the kitchen to improve the recipe of water chestnut cake and let him try the taste;

After a while, I asked my brother-in-law what to eat for dinner;

After a while, she happily ate the pine nuts and melon seeds peeled by her brother-in-law...

Chu Yunyi was on pins and needles. Not only did he feel redundant, but his mouth also tasted disgusting.

Many times, Gu Jue and Shen Qianchen were clearly not smiling, but Chu Yunyi still felt a smile between their eyebrows. When the two looked at each other, they moved their hands and feet with joy from the heart, revealing There is a tacit understanding between each other that does not require words.

As Chu Yunyi looked through the autumn water, Jiang Yuan came with Su Mubai wearing a blue and purple trousers with auspicious cloud patterns.

Su Mubai didn't squint as he saluted his prince and princess without even looking at Chu Yunyi, which made Chu Yunyi feel the subtle feeling of being ignored again.

Gu Jue ordered: "Su Mubai, you go to Fengtai Camp and take full responsibility for everything. By the way, take Chu Yunyi with you."

"Chu Yunyi, you should also go and have a look. A general can only be trained in actual combat. Training a hundred times on weekdays is not as good as one actual combat."

On weekdays, Gu Jue followed Shen Qianchen and called Chu Yunyi "Brother Yi", but today he called him by his first name, showing a business-like attitude.

Gu Jue's attitude made Chu Yunyi feel more comfortable.

But when he carefully studied Gu Jue's words, he was shocked again. He understood the implication of Gu Jue's words. Gu Jue was not telling him to avoid Xuanjia Camp, but the two sides were probably going to fight next.

Chu Yunyi: "!!"

Chu Yunyi's pupils shrank slightly and he looked around at Gu Jue, Shen Qianchen and Su Mubai in shock.

He couldn't imagine that it was the Forbidden Army that was sealing Prince Chen's Mansion now. Could it be that his brother-in-law planned to face off against the Forbidden Army? !

Chu Yunyi's heart was beating wildly out of control, and there seemed to be constant thunder in his ears.

"Do you dare?" Gu Jue slightly raised the corners of his lips, his expression still calm and breezy, as if he was standing on the clouds, nothing could be reflected in his eyes.

The expressions of Shen Qianchen and Su Mubai were equally calm and unruffled, making Chu Yunyi couldn't help but blame himself: He was still not calm enough.

Chu Yunyi stabilized his mind in a very short period of time and uttered three words loudly: "Of course I dare!"

As these three words fell, his blood boiled, and he had long forgotten his worries.

Chu Yunyi left with Su Mubai in high spirits, and the young couple in the pavilion continued to play chess, chatting and laughing.

To be honest, Chu Yunyi thought they would quietly take some secret passage to leave Prince Chen's Mansion. Unexpectedly, Su Mubai took him directly to the main entrance of the Prince's Mansion.

When the red lacquered door of the palace opened with a rough sound, the eyes of all the Forbidden Army soldiers surrounding the palace came like a flood.

Su Mubai and Chu Yunyi suddenly became the focus of these eyes.

The two stepped out of the high threshold, followed by dozens of royal guards.

Chu Yunyi held her head high and her eyes clear. There was no way he could let his reputation as brother-in-law fall, and people would say that King Chen's brother-in-law only hides behind other people's backs and is a coward.

Long spears were crossed in front of Su Mubai and Chu Yunyi, preventing them from moving forward.

A young soldier in his mid-twenties walked towards the two of them and raised his hands to Su Mubai: "Brother Su, are you planning to hand over Chu Yunyi?"

There was a sense of condescension in his smiling voice.

In his opinion, it would only be a matter of time before Prince Chen's Mansion handed over the person.

"No." Su Mubai objected with a smile.

The young soldier's face was slightly stiff.

So, does Su Mubai want to take Chu Yunyi out of Prince Chen's Mansion? !

"Brother Su, we are also following orders. No one from Prince Chen's Palace is allowed to step out of the Palace!"

The young soldier's voice grew colder and he raised his hand to make a gesture.

More soldiers of the Forbidden Army rushed towards the main entrance, but some people were still left to guard the walls, side entrances, back entrances, etc. of the palace.

There were more and more people at the gate of the palace, and there was a sense of imminent heaviness in the atmosphere.

Su Mubai looked at each other, smiled, and said in an understatement, "Really? Lieutenant Lu, what if I have to leave? You dare to attack the people in Prince Chen's Mansion, you can't do it." Have you thought about it?”

Su Mubai smiled meaningfully, making people panic.

Lieutenant Lu's heart skipped a beat.

At this time, another rough and loud male voice spoke: "Master Su is from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. He is not a member of Prince Chen's Palace. Of course he can go out, but..."

The visitor strode up to Colonel Lu's side. It was Du Huatang, the general of the Fifth Army Battalion whom Chu Yunyi had met once at the West City Gate yesterday.

Du Huatang raised his hand and pointed at Chu Yunyi, and said in a high-sounding voice: "Chu Yunyi is an imperial prisoner and must be handed over to us."

"No." There was still an elegant smile on Su Mubai's lips, without even moving the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "You can grab it yourself if you have the ability."

He looked like a scholar and his tone was slow and leisurely, but he spoke like a scoundrel, which made Chu Yunyi feel ashamed. He secretly sighed that he was not thick-skinned enough. No wonder Yun Zhan and Tang Yuchu always looked like an old fox on the left and an old fox on the right. on the mouth.

The corner of Du Huatang's mouth twitched, feeling that his authority had been challenged in public.

He was a warrior and had an impulsive nature. When Su Mubai struck him, he exploded like a firecracker.

"Stop!" He pulled out his sword and waved it high, the blade shining with cold light and murderous intent.

Dozens of Forbidden Army soldiers behind him surrounded Su Mubai and Chu Yunyi, all targeting Chu Yunyi.

"General Du Shen!" Someone called out, and bursts of sound broke through the air almost at the same time.

"Boohoo!"

One after another, feathered arrows were shot from the top of the wall, forming a rain of arrows. The arrows all shot into the ground, densely forming a "fence" in front of Su Mubai and Chu Yunyi.

These feathered arrows just isolate these Forbidden Army soldiers, like a barrier, each arrow is so accurate, as if it has been carefully calculated.

At this time, everyone including Du Huatang saw that there were about twenty guards standing on the high wall of the palace, each holding a bow in his hand.

Du Huatang's face was livid, his eyes were dark, and he said angrily: "How dare Prince Chen take action..." Is this a rebellion? !

Before he finished speaking, another arrow shot out, like lightning, too fast to be caught by the naked eye. The arrow shot through the front of Du Huatang's helmet, penetrated through it, and the arrow tip shot out from the back of the helmet. Then the helmet was carried away by the arrow.

With a "boom" sound, the feather arrow and the helmet landed behind Du Huatang, spinning around in a "skeleton" motion, and the sound it made was extremely harsh and ironic.

Half of Du Huatang's bun was torn apart, and a tuft of hair was cut off by an arrow and fell to the ground.

The Han people are very particular about their body, hair, and skin. Having their hair cut off in public like this is tantamount to a naked humiliation.

Du Huatang's face looked even more ugly, angry and scared.

If that arrow had gone down just a little bit, his head would have been shot through, and his life would have been sealed here!

When the wind blew, Du Huatang felt a bone-chilling coldness on the back of his neck and back, and then he realized that he was covered in cold sweat.

"The surname is Du," the palace guard who shot the arrows was still shouting arrogantly from the wall, "Prince Chen's palace has not dared to move!"

Du Huatang didn't recognize it, but Chu Yunyi recognized it just by his voice. This guard was actually Xue Feng in disguise.

The other palace guards burst out laughing and booed at Du Huatang provocatively.

Du Huatang turned to look at Captain Lu, originally expecting him to say something, but saw his eyes wandering, obviously fearing Prince Chen's Mansion.

Du Huatang secretly gritted his teeth and could only go up by himself: "Master Chu, now the Chu family is in danger, and I cannot protect myself. Have you really thought about it?"

"Master Kang always acts impartially and will never wrong anyone."

Every word he spoke was meaningful, implying that Kang Hongda did this for Chu Yunyi, and as long as Chu Yunyi obeyed, everything could still be discussed.

Shen Qianchen's voice sounded in Chu Yunyi's ears again:

"stupid!"

"Stupid and stupid!"

Chu Yunyi was not convinced. It was the person in front of him who was obviously stupid.

Chu Yunyi didn't speak, and the surroundings fell into a silent silence.

The palace guards on the high wall all drew their bows again, with arrows on the strings.

The Forbidden Army soldiers beside Du Huatang did not retreat, they all tightly held the long knives and red tassel spears in their hands.

The two parties faced each other, and there seemed to be an invisible shadow of swords and swords flickering in the air.

"Tap tap tap..."

Suddenly there was a burst of chaotic footsteps from behind, breaking the dead silence here. The footsteps became clearer and clearer, like a tide, like thunder.

A group of soldiers in black armor poured out from both ends of the streets and alleys, gathering in the direction of Prince Chen's Mansion with a fierce momentum.

It's the Xuanjia Army! The corners of Chu Yunyi's lips curled up slightly, and he immediately recognized the leader as Yunzhan. He arrived with hundreds of soldiers from the Xuanjia Army, all of whom were elites in the Xuanjia Army.

"Surround!" Yun Zhan gave the order, and the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army surrounded the group of forbidden troops led by Du Huatang from the outside.

In front of them were the condescending palace guards holding bows and arrows, glaring at Dandan, and in the back were men from the Xuanjia Army facing each other with knives. Du Huatang and the others, who were attacked from both sides, could be said to have wolves in front and tigers in the back.

Yun Zhan drew his sword directly, pointed the sharp sword tip at Du Huatang, and said proudly: "What are you talking about with them? I want to see who dares to stop them."

On this broad Zhuque Street, there was a tense situation.

Other houses on the street have long closed their doors for fear of being affected.

This is a fight between gods!

The officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army were all standing ready, holding onto their weapons tightly, and everyone felt an oppressive atmosphere.

It was clear that the two sides had not really started to fight, and no one was injured, and no one died, but many soldiers of the Forbidden Army vaguely felt that they smelled a smell of blood like rust, lingering in their noses and lingering.

They all knew that the people in Prince Chen's Mansion had all come from the battlefield, and every hand was stained with blood and human life. These people were capable of killing.

As the confrontation lasted longer, the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.

Suddenly, Du Huatang waved away his subordinates with the word "go". The officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army, including Captain Lu, breathed a sigh of relief and took two steps back.

Du Huatang said solemnly: "Chu Yunyi is a prisoner of the imperial court. His Royal Highness, King Chen, harbored a criminal of the imperial court and committed the crime of harboring!"

"My retreat today is not because of the power of His Highness King Chen. I just don't want to cause a war in the capital and cause unnecessary casualties..."

Halfway through the words, another feathered arrow shot rapidly from the high wall with a force that was as powerful as breaking a bamboo.

Du Huatang was frightened by the previous arrow, and nervously stepped back several steps. He was frightened, so he staggered, but it was only with the help of Captain Lu that he didn't fall.

The arrow passed three inches away from Du Huatang and accurately hit the helmet that fell on the ground.

There was a second feathered arrow on the helmet, and it rolled on the ground again, which was ridiculous.

Captain Lu was shocked.

The opponent's arrow technique was now accurate. In fact, even if Du Huatang didn't move, the arrow would not hit him. Du Huatang's retreat revealed his cowardice.

"That's so long-winded!" Xue Fengyan shouted impatiently and strummed the bow string in demonstration, as if to tell Du Huatang that he could send him another arrow.

After that, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army retreated to both sides to make way, and just watched helplessly as Chu Yunyi and Su Mubai left under the **** of Yun Zhan and other Xuanjia troops.

Even if he didn't look back, Chu Yunyi could clearly feel the burning eyes of those behind him, and his little heart was beating fast.

Just now, he really thought that the two sides were going to fight. At that time, he was still hesitating whether he should draw his sword or draw his bow, but Du Huatang actually gave in first.

They turned right from Zhuque Street and entered Changchun Street. Several horses were waiting for them in front.

Su Mubai personally handed the reins of one of the black horses to Chu Yunyi and said with a smile: "Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. This principle also applies to military generals."

"Watch it well, listen well. This experience is more useful than reading military books and training alone for a year or two."

There was a note of caution in his tone.

Chu Yunyi's expression straightened, he tried hard to calm down the boiling blood in his body and his racing heart, and nodded "yes".

Then, he got on the horse and said to Yunzhan, who was also on the horse: "Brother Yunzhan, didn't you go to Fengtai Camp? Why did you suddenly come to pick us up? Did your brother-in-law tell you in advance?"

Because of his excitement, the boy talked more than usual and his eyes were surprisingly bright.

Yun Zhan responded casually, as if he didn't want to say more.

Chu Yunyi didn't know Su Mubai very well, or in other words, most of his understanding of Su Mubai came from Yu Zhan, Tang Yuchu, Xue Fengyan and others. However, he still knew about Yun Zhan at least four to five points, and he had a vague feeling Yun Zhan's mood was a little different from usual.

Everyone rode towards the west city gate, followed closely by the three hundred Xuanjia troops behind them.

"..." Chu Yunyi and Yun Zhan rode forward hand in hand. He couldn't help but glance at Yun Zhan again. After a while, he took another look and thought to himself: Could Yun Zhan be as excited as himself?

While riding the horses, the wind blew violently in our faces, making everyone's hair and robes rustle.

After passing through the winding streets of the capital, the group arrived near the West City Gate.

The security at the West Gate is even tighter than yesterday. In addition to the regular gate guards, there are still dozens of Forbidden Army soldiers guarding there.

Su Mubai, who was riding at the front, slowed down his horse and said to a few city gate guards: "The Xuanjia Army returns to camp."

The city gate guards did not dare to stop them at all and immediately retreated to both sides. They even called on ordinary people entering and leaving the city to make way for Su Mubai and his party.

However, the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army refused to give way. One of the officers with a square face shouted at the top of his voice: "The city gates have been sealed by Lord Kang's order, and no suspicious persons are allowed to leave the city."

The square-faced soldier looked deeply at Chu Yunyi and the Xuanjia Army soldiers behind Su Mubai.

In the rear, a horse-faced Forbidden Army soldier quietly left the team, intending to quickly inform Kang Hongda.

Chu Yunyi noticed this person, quickly pulled Yun Zhan's sleeve, and reminded him to see the person who went to report the news.

Yun Zhan smiled nonchalantly.

Su Mubai looked indifferently at the square-faced soldier who was shouting to block the road, and asked: "Your Majesty does not allow the Xuanjia Army to return to the camp. Where should these hundreds of Xuanjia Army go? Should they go to Lord Kang's Mansion or enter?" palace?"

With these words, he almost asked the other party whether they should seal Kang's mansion or force him to concubine.

His elegant appearance was in sharp contrast to his extremely arrogant and domineering words!

Many people have heard of King Chen's arrogance. After all, King Chen is so arrogant that he doesn't even give the emperor face. But Su Mubai, a smiling fox, always smiles at everyone but hides the needle in his hair!

No one expected that Su Mubai would suddenly change his style and become a sharp sword that could kill people and kill Buddhas!

"..." The square-faced soldier was speechless. This was not a question he could answer at all.

And he also knew that with the manpower he had at the moment, the most he could do was scare people with Kang Hongda's name. Two fists were no match for four hands. With real swords and guns, they couldn't defeat these hundreds of Xuanjia troops.

“…”

“…”

“…”

The atmosphere around the city gate was strange, and even the common people felt this subtle atmosphere and fell silent.

Everyone watched as a group of Xuanjia troops passed through the west city gate like a huge black beast, meandering away in a mighty manner, straight to the Fengtai camp.

Chu Yunyi followed closely behind Su Mubai and Yun Zhan, lowered his body, and accelerated the horse's speed. He felt as if his body was about to fly with the horse under his crotch. There was a voice in his heart shouting: Have fun!

One moment they left the city, and the next moment both groups of people reported the news to Kang Hongda.

The soldier who came to report was cautious and frightened, but Kang Hongda was in a good mood, with a smile spreading from the corners of his lips to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"King Chen is indeed extremely arrogant." Kang Hongda sighed while fanning his folding fan.

"Master Kang is smart." The person sitting below him was Uncle Zhongyong, with a flattering smile on his face. "Finally, Yun Zhan, the traitor, is still of some use, so I have the honor to share Master Kang's worries."

Uncle Zhongyong was in a good mood, so he dared to call himself "Uncle Ben" in front of Kang Hongda.

Kang Hongda glanced at Uncle Zhongyong with a half-smile, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I know the Yun family's contribution!"
