Yunzhong City
The main room, verandahs and verandahs are all small and unique, unlike ordinary objects.
The three weeping willow and rosewood doors are all open to the outside, and all you can see is a winding verandah and a corridor made of stones.
Why did he want to take over Yunzhong City? Gongsun He was full of questions from the moment he received the secret decree. But of course, he kept this doubt in his mind and did not say it out loud.
He knows this sentence very well. After so many years, Gongsun He is naturally very aware of the status of Yunzhong City in the world. If someone dares to kill someone blatantly in Yunzhong City, he will do it no matter what. It's impossible to believe it.
But what the facts are is not important to him. What is important is that now he urgently needs something to prove his ability as General Xuanwei.
Gongsun He threw the secret decree into the fire basin and watched the tongues of flames swallow up the white letter paper bit by bit.
Now the Holy Emperor is suspicious and sensitive, and he is approaching his twilight years. He has lived too much a comfortable life in the imperial city, and he cannot give much political advice, which has made the dragon unhappy. If he continues to sit back and wait for death, he is afraid that he will be killed. Replacing it is just a matter of time.
The fire in Gongsun He's eyes gradually disappeared.
He couldn't let something like this tarnish his perfect career or put any stain on the Gongsun family.
If there is a vague fragrance floating in the air, the melodious and clear sound of cicadas is hidden among the faint trees and flowers.
Under the faint moonlight, Gongsun He stood alone among the carved wooden railings in the back garden, wondering what he was thinking.
A figure hurriedly walked through the forest in the dark night, and the branches rubbed against his sleeves, making a rustling sound.
Gongsun He's ears twitched. Although he had not been on the battlefield for a long time, his habit of practicing martial arts made him keenly aware of the movement behind him, but he did not seem to intend to turn around.
"Sir, someone is coming from the Imperial City."
The visitor stopped at the edge of the Orchid Pavilion. The wisteria on the pavilion was climbing at its peak, covering most of Gongsun He's figure in the pavilion. Sun Tian took another big step forward, His voice was much lowered, "He brought the secret message."
Gongsun He's eyelids finally moved. He turned around and ordered: "Please wait in the side hall for a while, and I will come right away."
"yes."
Sun Tian did not dare to wait too long and left in a hurry after receiving the order.
Gongsun He looked at his leaving back thoughtfully. According to the secret instructions, everything went as planned when he led the Xuanwei Army into Yunzhong City. The men in black were bloodbathed as expected. Yunzhong City, and he protected the safety of countless people in Yunzhong City in such a bloody night, and also allowed his Xuanwei Army to be stationed without encountering any obstacles.
Now he has been camping for several days, but the secret message has come again?
His eyes narrowed, but he still left the Orchid Pavilion, passed through the corridor in the back garden, and came to the side hall.
The candlelight in the side hall was so bright that Gongsun He, who had been standing in the dim back garden, couldn't help but squint his eyes. It took him a while to adapt.
Sun Tian had already screened away the people around him in advance, and there was only one person standing there in the side hall.
Apart from the black tights, there was only the long sword in his hand, which made people feel so dazzling.
The visitor stood in the middle of the side hall with his back turned. Gongsun He could not see his face clearly. The moment he stepped into the side hall, he hesitated a little. He was not sure who was coming.
Hearing the faint footsteps behind him, the man in black spoke up: "Master Gongsun has arrived at the door, why don't you go into the hall?" He turned around as he spoke.
It was a very young face.
But Gongsun He knew him, because the last secret edict was also with him, appearing late at night.
"Manager Lin, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Gongsun He coughed slightly and stepped into the side hall, but subconsciously stood far away, keeping a certain distance from Lin Yu.
Although he was young, the bloody aura emanating from him was even stronger than that of a man who had been on the battlefield. Gongsun He felt threatened when he first saw Lin Yu. He looked nothing but He is a young man in his early twenties, but he is able to be used by the Holy One to do secret things. He is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Master Gongsun is so effective in doing things, which satisfies the Holy One. Naturally, the Holy One has a new task to entrust to Master Gongsun." Lin Yu nodded slightly.
"What new will does the Holy Spirit have?"
Lin Yu did not speak, but instead asked Gongsun He: "I heard that Master Gongsun was very brave that night. He killed a group of madmen with all his strength and saved countless people?"
"If you have anything to say, you can say it directly." Gongsun He said in a low voice with the gray beard on his lips moving.
"Then where is the Lord of Yunzhong City, Ranchen, now?"
Gongsun He opened his mouth dumbly. He wanted to defend himself, but he remained silent. After a while, he said: "He ran away, I didn't catch him."
Lin Yu sneered: "Master Gongsun is too old after all. He brought an entire army into the city, but he couldn't even catch a useless man whose martial arts was ruined."
Gongsun He's eyes flashed with the chill of the blade passing through his body.
Yellow-haired kid, how dare you be so arrogant.
Seeing the dissatisfaction in his eyes, Lin Yu knew that he had angered Gongsun He and his goal had been achieved.
"General Manager Lin came here today not just to mock me, right?"
"The Holy One has an order to capture Yunzhong City Lord Ranchen within five days. If necessary, he can be killed on the spot."
Gongsun He was slightly surprised.
"What's the crime?" Xuanwei's army at least had a reputation for killing people.
"What is the crime? I want Mr. Gongsun to make his own decision." Lin Yu glanced at Gongsun He meaningfully. "I wonder if Mr. Gongsun has any clever ideas to catch Ranchen?"
Under the candlelight, Gongsun He's gray and black hair shimmered with a vague reflection.
"Xuanwei's army has been searching Yunzhong City for two days, but they haven't found anything yet." His eyes became sharper. After entering the city that day, the most important people in the city lord's mansion escaped from the city. He only Captured a man in black. But his intuition made him feel that the matter was not that simple, so he ordered Sun Tian to send his men to search for the whereabouts of the people. Although he had not found anything yet, Lin Yu's appearance tonight proved his intuition. is right.
"I do have a clever plan that can help Mr. Gongsun catch Ranchen. I wonder if you would be interested in knowing it?"
"oh?"
"Yunzhong City now has many people, but it's just because of the agreement reached between the former city lord and the late emperor that the army will not serve as officials. In other words, here, the city lord is like a local emperor," Lin Yu paused and continued. , "And the current Lord of Yunzhong City, Ranchen, cares even more about the people of this city. If Master Gongsun threatens the people of this city, I think he can naturally be forced to show up."
As soon as these words came out, Gongsun He's eyes changed instantly.
"What does Mr. Lin mean by threatening me with the lives of so many ordinary people? Is this your intention or the Holy One's?"
"Who means it? Is it so important?" Lin Yu walked slowly to Gongsun He's side, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said in his ear, "Those who want to achieve great things should not stick to trivial matters. Sometimes For big things, it is inevitable to make sacrifices, Lord Gongsun, please think about it yourself."
At this moment, Gongsun He completely understood that Lin Yu had just conveyed the Holy Spirit's meaning to him in a vague way. In order to catch Ranchen, the Holy Spirit did not hesitate to bury a whole city of people with him. But at this moment, he suddenly felt trembling. And began to deeply regret it. He seemed to have stepped into a trap with no way out. After this incident, what was waiting for him might not only be glory and wealth, but maybe -
guillotine.
