The sword light went down smoothly and landed in front of Yangxin Palace without disturbing any of the guards in the palace. Even Zheng Dehai, the general manager of the palace, did not notice it.
However, someone in the room suddenly laughed.
Seeing the old emperor smiling, Zheng Dehai said while making tea: "Your Majesty, this is the first time I have seen you smile in these days."
The old emperor had a smile on his face and murmured: "A friend is here."
After that, the old emperor stood up slightly and said softly to the door: "Since you are here, why don't you come in and sit down?"
The door of Yangxin Hall was pushed open.
The man standing outside the Yangxin Hall was holding a sword in his hand and dressed in white. After crossing the threshold, he joked: "Old man Sun, your bones are stronger than before. Are you satisfied again?" What kind of concubine did you have to make you so moisturized?"
Zheng Dehai smiled slightly at the side. If someone else talked to the old emperor like this, he would definitely be furious, but he was familiar with Gu Qingfeng, and then he just silently made a cup of tea for Gu Qingfeng.
The old emperor sat down, took a sip of tea and said, "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. You must have something to say when you come here."
Gu Qingfeng pretended to sigh, pointed at the old emperor and said: "Old man Sun, you are too serious, this is not fun."
The old emperor smiled and said nothing.
"They are going to Western Shu." Gu Qingfeng also knew that the old emperor would not joke with him, so he turned to the topic and said: "This trip to Western Shu is not easy. You only gave him a forest camp. It's far away. Not nearly enough."
The old emperor did not take Gu Qingfeng's advice, but asked instead: "Since you think my Royal Forest Camp is not enough, why not let your Heaven and Earth Alliance help?"
Gu Qingfeng waved his hands repeatedly and said with a laugh: "That's too far-fetched, that's too far-fetched. Our Heaven and Earth Alliance is already short of manpower. If they are all transferred to Xishu, put aside whether they can be pacified. You are really not afraid that the Quanwu Association will take advantage of this opportunity." ?」
The old emperor smiled and said, "It seems you know it in your heart."
Gu Qingfeng sighed: "There are too many things and they are too complicated. Ever since he pacified the Northern Wasteland, I have thought that this guy would come to me to borrow troops, but I didn't have any manpower, so I came to Kyoto to hide. I didn’t expect this kid to meet your son halfway through, you said how wonderful the fate is.”
When he mentioned his son, the smile on the old emperor's face became even brighter.
That's his pride.
And this time, his son finally planned to face that position and was ready to sit in that position.
All the old emperor's expectations for him were finally fulfilled.
Gu Qingfeng asked: "Do you know the origin of the page your son gave him?"
That blank page seemed unremarkable, but when Sun Gusheng's luck moved, some people in Kyoto still sensed it.
That aura is so mysterious.
The old emperor thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure, but I always feel that that page cannot be from the human world."
Gu Qingfeng twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered: "You mean, this page comes from the sky?"
The old emperor was silent for a while and nodded silently.
When mentioning heaven, Gu Qingfeng's face became a little embarrassed. He scratched his face and said helplessly: "People in heaven always have a hand in the affairs of the human world. If you really think that the human world is good, you shouldn't ascend to immortality in the first place. "
The old emperor couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Gu Qingfeng, who still didn't like immortals.
If Gu Qingfeng wanted to become an immortal, who in today's eight wastelands could stop him from becoming an immortal?
It's just that such a person who had the instinct to become an immortal chose to stay in the human world in the end. I don't know whether it is the blessing of the human world or the blessing of heaven.
Maybe both.
After Gu Qingfeng finished a cup of tea, he stood up and left.
The old emperor asked: "It's rare that you come here. Are you really not here to sit down and have a good chat with me, an old man?"
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand and said: "There are plenty of opportunities to chat. The All-Martial Arts Association has been a little quiet recently. Compared with before, it seems too quiet. I think
Because this quietness is so abnormal, we need to keep a closer eye on it. "
"What do you need me to do?"
"No need for anything, just take good care of your body. Don't let me come back to chat with you when the time comes. One is inside and the other is outside."
The old emperor smiled reassuringly and said, "Having you, Gu Qingfeng, in the world is truly a blessing."
Gu Qingfeng smiled and gave himself a thumbs up.
"I think so."
The team has entered Hanzhong. Among the nine territories of the Eight Wastelands, Hanzhong has always been the most low-key place. There are no particularly famous sects. However, in recent years, there have been a few characters. They are just like the Central Plains and the Central Plains. For the three places of Xishu or Beidi, these characters seem a bit insignificant.
However, this is the place that the people of Bahuang most yearn for.
The reason is very simple. There is no war here, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the officials are in their positions and doing their jobs without any mistakes.
It was already getting late, so the team stopped their journey and chose to rest in a city called Nanping in Hanzhong.
Entering the city, most of the people here were ready to turn off their lights and rest. After all, this was the comfortable life they longed for.
There was only one largest inn in the city that was brightly lit at this time, and Gu Xiaotian could only choose to rest here.
After entering the inn, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him. Gu Xiaotian directly explained his identity and purpose of visit this time. The shopkeeper quickly exclaimed, held Gu Xiaotian's hand and thanked him, and also told the waiter to give This group arranges the best rooms.
After simply packing their bags, the soldiers of the Royal Forest Camp followed the custom at the garrison point, with someone keeping watch and changing the guard every hour.
Gu Xiaotian originally wanted to persuade these soldiers not to do this outside, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. At least this would have some effect on shaking the mountain and shaking the tiger.
After all, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at you in this world, and if you don't know which pair you have, it's a ghost, so there's nothing wrong with being cautious.
I was a little tired from the journey today. As soon as Gu Xiaotian touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.
He originally thought he would spend the night peacefully, but in the middle of the night, there was a knock on his door.
Gu Xiaotian rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the door. Standing outside the door was Yu Huan.
Gu Xiaotian immediately asked: "What happened?"
Yu Huan said: "I caught a few people outside the inn. I don't know their identities. They called them by name and wanted to see you."
Gu Xiaotian frowned.
I had just stepped into Nanping City with my front foot, and someone came to my door from the back?
Did this news spread too quickly?
However, the other party wanted to see me by name, so it was unlikely that he was from Xishu or the All-Martial Arts Association, otherwise there would be no difference between this and a visit to his door.
Gu Xiaotian nodded slightly and followed Yu Huan downstairs.
After arriving downstairs, Yu Huan immediately asked a lieutenant, "Did they say anything?"
The lieutenant general shook his head, "Nothing was found in the investigation. He was very tough. He bluntly said that he wanted to see Commander Gu. If he couldn't, they didn't say a word."
Yu Huan did not directly ask Gu Xiaotian to come forward, but faced those people directly. Gu Xiaotian hid behind the soldiers of the Royal Forest Camp and looked at the arrested people with his peripheral vision.
There were three people tied up. They looked young, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old.
However, one thing is worth noting, the three of them are all wearing Taoist robes.
Gu Xiaotian carefully recalled the Taoists he met along the way. Song Bufan could naturally be counted as one of them, but if the three of them were sent by Song Bufan, they probably wouldn't be so reckless and impulsive.
Apart from that, the only one left is Zhao Qi, who talks about keeping secrets secret all day long.
Yu Huan looked at the three of them, squatted down, looked at them levelly and asked, "I can give you three one last chance. Who sent you here?"
The other two little Taoist priests looked at the Taoist priest in the middle one after another. It was obvious that this was the Taoist priest.
A leader.
Yu Huan also noticed the looks in the eyes of the other two young Taoist priests. He just stretched out his hand slightly, and the soldiers of the Yulin camp immediately understood and handed a knife to Yu Huan's hand. Yu Huan directly put the knife on the leading Taoist priest. On the neck, he threatened: "Think carefully before you speak, otherwise I can't guarantee whether your head will stay on your head or fall to the ground."
However, the performance of the little Taoist priest who took the lead was somewhat beyond Yu Huan's expectations.
The little Taoist priest who took the lead said calmly: "I won't say anything until I see Gu Xiaotian."
Yu Huan frowned slightly. There were not many people who could remain calm even when Mount Tai collapsed, let alone a boy who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Then if you saw me, what would you tell me?"
Passing through the crowd, Gu Xiaotian walked towards the little Taoist priest with a smile.
Seeing Gu Xiaotian, the little Taoist breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Huan originally wanted to hold the knife at all times. After all, he didn't know why this group of people came, so it was always good to be on guard.
Gu Xiaotian took the knife with a smile, then threw it aside, shook his head at Yu Huan and said: "Although these three little Taoist priests may not be able to pick off the entire Yulin camp, if they want to run away, Yulin The camp probably can’t stop it.”
Then, he looked at the little Taoist priest and asked, "Let's not say any more formalities. Let's just tell you why you want to see me by name."
The little Taoist priest who took the lead took a deep breath and suddenly uttered a sentence.
"The secret must not be revealed."
Gu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
If you can say this, you can already guess who sent these three little Taoist priests.
Gu Xiaotian laughed for a while, and then he recalled that it was indeed a while since Jianzhong and Zhao Qixing parted ways. I really don’t know if this person who claims to be someone who tells him everything from heaven has counted. He told some things about his trip to the Northern Wilderness.
Without saying anything else to the three little Taoist priests, Gu Xiaotian just stepped out of the inn, looked for a random direction, and shouted: "Zhao Qixing, you're here as soon as you come, and you're still here, get out of here, grandpa." !」
