Kyoto is much better than that city, at least the riots haven't started in the city yet.
What happened in the palace and on the border was only known to those on both sides. At this time, the people were still shopping in the streets, presenting a peaceful scene.
Although many officers and soldiers have come to the streets to urge the people to go home quickly, these people are completely unaware of what is about to happen and do not want to go home.
In Kyoto, the news about the Ten Thousand Demons Society is well sealed. Except for those whose families are officials in the court who know the news, the rest of the common people are just interested in hearing the news. As for whether it is true or not, Yes, they never do any research.
Gu Xiaotian only glanced at it, then no longer thought about it. He did not return to the Gu family immediately, but flew all the way towards the palace.
After flying into the palace with his sword, Gu Xiaotian saw many courtiers preparing their horses outside the city, looking in a hurry. After getting closer, he found a human head rolling down the steps outside the court, and Guan Jing just looked up and saw Gu Xiaotian flying with his sword.
Gu Xiaotian immediately went down, came to Guan Jing, cupped his fists and said, "I've seen General Guan."
The two had met once before to assassinate Sun Gusheng.
Guan Jing gave Gu Xiaotian a very high evaluation at the beginning.
At this moment, Guan Jing was not surprised to see Gu Xiaotian.
After Guan Jing nodded, he finally showed a pleased smile and said, "It's not too late."
"General Guan, have you met the Queen Mother?"
Gu Xiaotian asked again the mysterious question he had asked at the border.
Guan Jing shook his head and asked, "What do you want from the Queen Mother?"
Gu Xiaotian hesitated.
He didn't know what happened in Kyoto, but seeing that the long knife in Guan Jing's hand was still dripping with blood, he must have died under Guan Jing's knife. After thinking for a moment, he took it out of his pocket. He wrote a secret letter and handed it to Guan Jing: "I found it previously in Lang Ping's mansion in Jintian City, and Lang Ping is the biggest leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Association in Jintian City."
Guan Jing opened the secret letter and looked at it. He immediately frowned and said, "It's the Queen Mother's handwriting."
Gu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I suspect that the Queen Mother is that ghost."
It was said that he was doubtful, but Gu Xiaotian was actually eighty-nine percent sure.
Because despite his identity as the leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Society, Lang Ping is just a fifth-grade official. Is such a person worthy of the Queen Mother personally writing a secret letter?
Obviously, this is impossible to happen.
If you are not a second-grade official, you will not have the opportunity to talk to the Queen Mother.
Guan Jing handed the secret letter back to Gu Xiaotian, looked at Ningshou Palace in the distance, and said calmly: "Whether it is a ghost or not, you will know after you go there."
…
…
Cining Palace, this is the palace of the Queen Mother.
Before she gave birth to an heir, she was only a second-grade Chongyi. Perhaps God favored him and gave birth to Sun Yanshou's first son.
That is, the eldest prince.
Because of this reason, her status was immediately raised a lot, and she directly became a second-grade concubine and became a first-grade noble concubine.
It's just that God's calculations were not as good as those of man, and the eldest prince finally died in the battle on the border.
Everyone thought that the noble concubine would fall out of favor because of this, and eventually die in the palace in depression, but unexpectedly, the noble concubine has lived until now.
At first, the courtiers had some complaints and hoped that Sun Yanshou would think carefully about it. If this noble concubine was allowed to become the queen mother, then when Sun Gusheng took over, the court would be uneasy because of this.
However, this noble concubine was not as strong as she appeared. After becoming the Queen Mother, she has not been involved in government affairs and only raised flowers and teased birds in her palace, as if she was enjoying her last years in her old age.
Gu Xiaotian and Guan Jing arrived in front of Cining Palace. When the maid guarding the door saw Guan Jing, she immediately stepped forward to stop her and said, "General Guan, please come back. The Queen Mother is not feeling well today and will not see guests."
Guan Jing glanced at the palace maid and did not get angry at her. He just said lightly: "Please inform me that Guan Jing has something important to see the Queen Mother."
The palace maid nodded and walked towards the palace. After all, she was just a little palace maid, and she always did what she was told.
The person in front of him is the famous General Guan Jingguan. It would not be good if he continues to contradict him.
While waiting, Guan Jing said slowly: "The Queen Mother has always given me the illusion that I cannot see through it."
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Is there anyone who General Guan can't see through?"
Guan Jing glanced at Gu Xiaotian and said with a smile: "There are many people in this world that I can't see through. It's just that there are some people who can't be seen through. I'm too lazy to guess. But for some people, if If we don’t see through it, I’m afraid there will be endless troubles.”
Gu Xiaotian nodded, cleared his throat, and asked in a low voice: "If the Queen Mother refuses to see us for a while, what can General Guan do?"
Guan Jing calmly uttered two words, "Force it."
Gu Xiaotian's face was covered with black lines.
It really fits his general temperament.
But it was to be expected. If Guan Jing's answer was to leave or continue lobbying, Gu Xiaotian might really have doubts about Guan Jing's identity.
After a while, the palace maid slowly walked out, with a look of embarrassment on her face, lowered her head, and said cautiously: "General Guan, please come back. The Queen Mother said she won't see anyone today."
After saying that, she raised her head and glanced at Guan Jing, really afraid that the general would be angry.
Guan Jing said coldly: "The Queen Mother is so majestic, but this general rarely asks to see anyone."
There was a hint of threat in the words.
The palace maid was obviously frightened, and her voice became even quieter: "Please come back, General Guan. I also do things according to the Queen Mother's orders, but don't make it difficult for me."
Guan Jing waved his hand and said, "I won't embarrass you."
After saying that, he had already raised his feet and was ready to break through.
The palace maid was frightened and immediately stopped in front of Guan Jing.
She was afraid of Guan Jing, but after all, she was not Guan Jing's maid. Even if she contradicted him, she would get a fight at most. But she was the Queen Mother's maid, and if she disobeyed the Queen Mother's wishes, it would not be as simple as a fight.
Over the years, the Queen Mother has not gone out often, but the maids are well aware of the Queen Mother's temperament.
Don't look at her amiable appearance, but since the death of the eldest prince in the battle, the Queen Mother has become unstable. She will smile at you one second, and pluck your skin the next.
Guan Jing looked at the palace maid and said calmly: "You are very courageous."
The palace maid took several breaths, and finally mustered up the courage. She raised her head, looked into Guan Jing's eyes and said, "General Guan, please come back. If the Queen Mother says she won't see you, she will not see you. If General Guan insists on going his own way, I will have to call the guards." ”
Guan Jing stopped and looked at the palace maid.
The palace maid felt uneasy, and she regretted it as soon as she said those words.
Where did she get the courage to talk to Guan Jing like this?
"General Guan, if the Queen Mother doesn't want to see you, just forget it."
Gu Xiaotian suddenly spoke to persuade Guan Jing.
Guan Jing looked back at Gu Xiaotian, his face full of doubts?
Gu Xiaotian walked forward with a smile, hugged his fists at the palace maid, and said with a smile: "Please inform me that not only General Guan is asking for an audience, but Gu Xiaotian is also asking for an audience with the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother still doesn't want to meet, Forget it.”
The palace maid was slightly shocked when she heard Gu Xiaotian's name.
The name of this young hero has now been spread all over the world, but at that time, the palace maid was focused on Guan Jing, but ignored the young man who came with Guan Jing. At that time, she only thought he was Guan Jing's subordinate. Didn't take it to heart.
It's really shocking to hear the name now.
The palace maid nodded and asked the two of them to wait for a moment before turning back and running into the palace.
After the palace maid left, Guan Jing asked: "She can't even see me. How confident are you that she can see you?"
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "If she is really a smart person, she will definitely do it."
"Where do you get the confidence?"
"Don't forget, who did what happened in Jinning City, doesn't she know? If she doesn't see her, it can explain a lot of things. We don't need to verify anything. If she does see her, then follow up Let her talk.”
Gu Xiaotian reminded: "General Guan, if she is really a ghost, do you think there won't be anyone else in Cining Palace?"
After Gu Xiaotian's reminder, Guan Jing gradually came to his senses.
I was indeed a bit too hasty just now.
Even a person like Zhu Qing can hide so deeply, let alone the Queen Mother who has been in this palace for many years?
No one would pay attention to what a queen mother who does not interfere in government affairs does every day, but precisely because no one pays attention, she has a lot of time to do other things.
Things turned out as Gu Xiaotian expected. Just a moment later, the palace maid ran out and asked someone to open the palace door and let the two of them enter.
Gu Xiaotian smiled slightly, and when passing by the palace maid, he suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered: "You are a smart person, if you want to survive, leave now."
The palace maid's eyes changed.
Becoming a little playful.
Gu Xiaotian didn't say anything, he just followed Guan Jing and walked towards the palace. 33
When he saw this palace maid before, Gu Xiaotian noticed some strange energy in the palace maid.
Although this palace maid was well hidden, it was still a bit difficult to avoid Gu Xiaotian's eyes.
The reason lies in her words and deeds.
A little palace maid has great courage. When she sees a general like Guan Jing, how can she stop her as soon as she can?
Is she really not afraid that Guan Jing will kill her with a knife if he is in a bad mood?
Obviously, this palace maid is not an ordinary person, but more like a warrior, or a demon.
She dared to stop Guan Jing, which showed that she had some confidence. Even if Guan Jing used his sword, she would not be captured so easily.
But such monsters are just minions. Killing or not killing them has no effect on the current situation.
Gu Xiaotian is also talkative, and he will have to deal with it sooner or later. It would be good if he could persuade this palace maid to leave on her own, so as not to have another sword attack later, which would be very troublesome.
The two of them walked into the Cining Palace, and across a screen, a figure was sitting behind the screen, sitting on a chair.
Guan Jing walked to the screen and saluted: "General Guan Jing, I have met the Queen Mother."
Behind the screen, the man lowered his voice and said: "It's rare for the general to come to my Cining Palace, and he should have given him a good reception. It's just that the Ai family has been feeling unwell recently, so I hope you and I can just talk to each other through the screen. "
Guan Jing's eyes were suspicious.
Although the voice sounded a bit like the Queen Mother, it sounded like a deliberate imitation.
Gu Xiaotian suddenly said: "You are not the Queen Mother."
Before the person behind the screen could say anything, Gu Xiaotian had already kicked the screen down.
The person sitting in that seat at this time was indeed not the Queen Mother, but just a palace maid wearing the Queen Mother's clothes, who was shivering at this time.
Some people died, but not completely...
