"This room looks like a woman's boudoir." Li Yuan joked.
"Good eyesight." The servant pointed his finger and praised: "This room was originally occupied by the eldest lady of our Gu family. The eldest lady also likes to stay here for a few days to look at the flowers. But in the past two or three years, the Sanhua Building has been The eldest young master is living here, and the eldest lady will no longer come, but this house is still kept in case the eldest lady comes to live again." Li Yuan nodded slightly, and when the servant mentioned Gu Yingying, Li Yuan's mind Gu Yingying's beautiful face with bright eyes flashed across her face. When he thought that this room was the boudoir where Gu Yingying lived, Li Yuan felt strange in his heart.
"Then, does Captain Li have any other instructions? The tea is on the table outside. If you are thirsty, please help yourself. If there are no instructions, I will leave first. Captain Li will also be here earlier. Rest." The servant smiled.
Li Yuan nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work, brother. I have nothing to do here. You should rest earlier." The servant bowed and bowed, quickly walked out of the house, and closed the door behind him.
Li Yuan came to the outside room and sat on a chair for a while, feeling a little thirsty. So he picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, but he found that the tea was still the popular brew of this era, and a smell of onion and garlic hit his nose.
Li Yuan didn't like the tea, so he poured it all into the slag bucket. He wanted to ask the servant to bring a pot of tea, but he thought of having to ask the servant to go upstairs again, so he gave up.
So he went into the back room, blew out the candlelight and lay down on the bedside with his clothes on, and thought for a while about how to face the enemy tomorrow. After a while, he was drunk and sleepy, and fell asleep unconsciously.
I don't know how much time passed, but Li Yuan was suddenly awakened by the neighing of war horses. It was the neighing of his own big black horse. The neighing of the black horse seemed all too familiar to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan sat up from the bed and listened carefully. The neighing sound of the black horse clearly reached his ears again.
Li Yuan didn't know what the black horse was doing, so he put on his boots and got up and walked to the door to go downstairs to take care of it. However, he stretched out his hand and pulled the door, but it didn't move at all.
Li Yuan was shocked. He remembered that he had not locked the door before going to bed, but why could he not open the door at this moment? After pulling hard twice, I realized that the door had been locked from the outside.
This surprise was no small matter. Li Yuan immediately became nervous. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword with a loud sound. He inserted it into the crack of the door and flicked it gently.
There was a "pop" sound, and the sound of things breaking came from outside. Li Yuan pulled the door again, and it opened. Then he ducked out of the door, only to see the stair corridor was dark and the surroundings were quiet.
Li Yuan slowly walked down the stairs step by step. When he reached the lobby on the first floor, he could clearly hear the clatter of footsteps around him. It seemed that there were many people walking around the Sanhua Building, and there were also strange clattering sounds from time to time. sound.
Li Yuan came to the door of the building and looked out from the crack in the door. This sight made Li Yuan sweat all over with shock, but he saw dozens of men in black running back and forth outside the building, each holding a large bundle of firewood and piling it in front of the building door.
Li Yuan quickly went to the back door of Sanhua Building. The situation was no different. A large pile of dark firewood as tall as a hill had blocked the back door tightly.
At this time, Li Yuan immediately understood what had happened. Someone was going to set fire to Sanhua Building, and the person who was going to be set on fire was undoubtedly himself.
The large piles of firewood in front of and behind the building were to prevent anyone from escaping when the fire broke out. When the fire broke out, the entire building's exit was blocked, and those in the building would have no choice but to die.
Li Yuan's mind was thinking rapidly, and he suddenly realized that this was an action by the Gu family against him.
I had to move to this Sanhua Building in the morning just so that I could set fire to kill myself at night. All of this was a planned and premeditated move.
Then the reason why the Gu family wants to burn him to death is naturally obvious. His identity must have been discovered by the Gu family, and now the Gu family, who are bent on returning to the court and devoting themselves to politics, must have chosen their side, which is to serve for the Wu Yue Kingdom. The king got rid of himself, the emperor of Chu, who was like a formidable enemy. Everything was so logical.
In an instant, Li Yuan broke out in cold sweat and his heart was beating hard. It was of course possible to rush out of the building at this moment, but if he rushed out brazenly, the Gu family would probably turn against him when they saw that their plan of setting fire to him failed.
This is Suzhou in the Wuyue Kingdom. This Sanhua Building is the territory of the Gu family. The city is full of people from the Gu family. If you escape here, you may not be able to escape the pursuit of the Gu family, so it is unwise to break out.
For now, it is better to use the trick and find a way to escape here secretly and let the Gu family set fire to the building. Then they will think that they are buried in the sea of fire and hide in the dark, which will give them a better chance of escape.
Li Yuan made up his mind and quickly turned around and went upstairs, cursing in his heart. The Gu family was so cunning, doing one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, and they actually ignored the impending enemy of the Jin army and brazenly launched an assassination attempt on themselves. Is this what a wealthy family did?
There is also Gu Yingying, this woman hides it well enough. I have been fascinated by her these days, but I don't expect that she is confusing him and covering up for the despicable methods of the Gu family. Maybe my identity is... What she revealed was that she probably already knew her identity when she was in Changzhou, but she just pretended not to know.
Li Yuan, Li Yuan, you are really stupid. You think you have everything under control, but in fact you have fallen into the hands of others.
You are the emperor of a country. When will you stop being deceived by beauty and be so pity for beauty?
Li Yuan rushed upstairs while blaming himself, and walked around the corridor of the small building with his waist bent. The building is more than three feet high. Although there are many trees around it, the tallest ones are only about ten feet high, leaving no place to escape.
In desperation, Li Yuan caught a glimpse of the curtains and bedding in the room, reached out and tore them into strips, connected them together, and carried them on his back to the second floor.
The cat bent down and walked around the second floor corridor again, and spotted a dark, backlit place on the west side of the building. He placed one end of the cloth rope on the pillar, reached out, grabbed the cloth, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and slid it down.
The strip of cloth was not long enough, but Li Yuan spotted the branch of a willow tree and fell on it. As soon as they landed on the willow tree, they saw several black shadows passing by. Fortunately, they did not notice Li Yuan on the willow tree. They just ran past with a large bundle of firewood and surrounded the small building. Beside the wooden window.
It seemed that they not only wanted to block the door of the building, but also surrounded the small building with a circle of firewood to ensure that the fire was fully engulfed and that they would never be able to escape.
After they laid out the firewood and left again, Li Yuan hurriedly jumped down from the willow tree and moved slowly through the cover of the rockery trees.
Soon he detoured back to the corner of the courtyard wall in front. Li Yuan poked his head around from a hill-like rockery and saw a dozen figures standing in front of the courtyard door.
Li Yuan recognized one of them at a glance. The man was tall and handsome, and it was Gu Yaode, the eldest son of the Gu family.
The moment he saw Gu Yaode, all Li Yuan's speculations came true, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.
