Gao Hanqiang calmed himself down, his trembling hands relaxed a lot now, he cupped his hands towards the angry prince and said: "As far as the official knows, Yin Ji is a member of Lu Zuo, and his martial arts is not low. The identity of the person named Pang Gu It's also very suspicious. During today's competition, that person seemed to be very close to the person named Yin Ji. If the official guessed correctly, Pang Gu should be familiar with Lu Zuo. Now there are two people in the top four. Lu Zuo’s people, wouldn’t that be terrible?”
Prince Liu Yan, Xun and Xu looked at each other in confusion, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, when you said that, I also remembered it!" Then he asked Xun Mou, "General Xun, if what Master Gao said is true, then Isn’t that bad?”
Xun Mou took a deep breath, but still couldn't hold it back. Then he stood up and said, "Lu Zuo! Let's see how I kill him one by one tomorrow."
Gao Han smiled flatteringly and said: "General Xun, there is no need to be angry, so now that we have one more person here, we don't have to be afraid of those two."
"But tomorrow there will be a competition between two people. It's hard to say who will win!" Xu Bingde said helplessly.
After Xu Bingde said this, everyone sitting there was a little downcast. Xun Mou's face was as dark as water, and he slowly sat down again. After a long time, he said: "It seems that we have to think of a strategy to deal with tomorrow's competition!"
Liu Yan hurriedly asked: "How should we arrange it?" Seeing that Xunmou was deep in thought and silent, he turned to Gao Han and asked, "Master Gao, since you said that, what do you have in mind?"
Gao Han was also sweating, but he still chose to believe in his younger brother, "Xiaguan thinks that when the lot is drawn tomorrow, it is best for Xiaguan's brother to choose General Xun first. My brother has said that he will pretend to lose to General Xun, walk General Xun to win the game and then successfully enter the finals."
"Then how could the drawing of lots be so coincidental?" Liu Yan asked as he helped Gao Han stand up, "Master Gao, please get up!"
After Gao Han stood up, he looked at Xu Bingde and said, "Then it depends on you, Mr. Xu!"
"I?" Xu Bingde waved his hand and said, "No, no, tomorrow's competition will be conducted by the emperor himself. If he is discovered by the old man, wouldn't my life be in danger?"
Liu Yan said with a smile: "This is easy to handle. The lists are kept in the secret box anyway. We only need to write some articles on the slips of paper with the names written on them. At that time, the papers with the names of General Xun and Gao Yun were all on them. Just use inferior paper. When the time comes, it will be you, my father-in-law, who will draw the lots. Once you touch the rough paper, you will pull it out. Wouldn’t it be perfect? Who can find out the clues!"
Xu Bingde nodded after hearing this. The prince's idea was a sound strategy.
Liu Yan saw that his father-in-law had no objection, and saw Xun Mou sitting aside silently, so he took it upon himself to say: "In this case, tomorrow will be decided like this..."
"Wait a minute!" Xun Mou suddenly came to his senses and stood up and said, "This is inappropriate!"
"But why?" everyone asked.
"Think about it, our power is now 2 to 2. If Gao Yun and I are facing off in the first round, what's the point of Gao Yun reaching the semi-finals? Then wouldn't Pang Gu and Yin Ji cheat each other easily? ? What we have to do now is not to fight among ourselves first." Xun Mou said.
Liu Yan's eyes lit up, "General Xun, do you mean to compete with one of the other party first?"
"right!"
Xu Bingde also asked curiously: "Then...how should this be arranged? Should General Xun fight Pang Gu first? Or Yin Ji first?"
Xun Mou took a long breath and said: "I have thought about it for a long time. Both Pang Gu and Yin Ji are not easy, but judging from today's performance, Pang Gu's martial arts should be better than Yin Ji's, so I am going to fight Pang Gu first. .Get him first when the time comes!"
"What about Gao Jun and Yin Ji?" Liu Yan asked, "Who has a greater chance of winning?"
Xun Mou thought carefully, "I have seen Gao Yun's martial arts. It shouldn't be a problem to take down that little brat Yin Ji, so as long as I defeat Pang Gu tomorrow, everything else will be easy to deal with."
"What if we lose?" Xu Bingde asked.
When Xun Mou heard what Xu Bingde said, he glanced at him displeased. Liu Yan also saw his father-in-law's embarrassed expression, so he came to the rescue and said, "My father-in-law, you are overthinking. How could General Xun Wushuang lose?" Then he smiled at Gao Han and said, "Don't we still have Lord Gao's younger brother in the end?" Gao Yun?"
When Gao Han walked out of the study room of the Prince's Mansion, he was so frightened that his back was wet with sweat. He said so many things about betraying the Prince tonight. Was it wrong or right? But once this game of chess is played wrong, in other words, once the paper cannot contain the fire, then oneself may die without a burial place. Gao Han secretly told himself that there would never be another time. This feeling of walking on a single-plank bridge was really frightening. What's more, the other parties are the prince and Xun Mou who kill without blinking an eye! As he thought about it, Gao Han vaguely felt that the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion was really shady, and he always felt an eye staring at him on the back of his head. Unknowingly, Gao Han quickened his pace, fearing that the Prince would call him back to question him again, and he would say the wrong thing in his excitement. If so, it would be all over, so I just want to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
When Gao Han walked to the door of the Prince's Mansion, Gao Han didn't even notice the greetings to the front door, he got into his sedan chair and left in a hurry.
In the Gao Mansion, Gao Jun paced back and forth anxiously in the main room. He looked at the second watch and saw that his brother hadn't come back yet, which made him start to feel restless. Whenever Gao Jun walked to the door of the hall, he would involuntarily glance into the yard. When he saw that there was no one in the yard, he lowered his head and sighed softly, and continued to pace in the house worried.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached from far away. Gao Jun had sensitive ears and could hear it from a distance. When he took a few steps to the door to look, it was the housekeeper of the house who was walking slowly from the courtyard with a lantern in his hand. Gao Yun asked angrily: "It's so late, what's the matter?"
When the housekeeper saw the second master asking, he said directly in the courtyard: "Second master, he is back and said he is waiting for you in the east wing!"
"Got it!" Gao Yun quickly raised his feet, walked out of the room, and went straight to the east wing.
Gao Jun came to the east wing and saw that two candle lamps were lit in the room, but his brother was not there. When he listened carefully, he heard the sound of water in the ear room. Gao Yun called out twice, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Wait a moment!" Gao Han's voice came from the ear room.
Gao Yun stood in the wing and couldn't help but wonder, why is his brother still taking a shower so late?
After a while, Gao Han walked out of the penthouse, arranging his clothes and smiling foolishly, "I have suffered a lot today because of you, my younger brother!"
Gao Yun couldn't wait to ask: "What happened?"
