Chapter 46 Chapter Forty-Six: Waking Up Like a Dream

Junshan Court. Ruan Xiuzhen sat alone at the table, with a dignified expression, no longer the usual dashing and flamboyant expression. Gu Yueming came back from the back room, pulled out a chair opposite him and sat down, said: "Everything is normal, no one has sneaked in, no one has been tampered with, we can talk with confidence." Ruan Xiuzhen said solemnly: "The Ninth Normal University and I may have been betrayed by Huangfu Tianxiong." Gu Yueming said indifferently: "It's not a possibility, but the fact that it must be so. Mr. Ruan should know better than me that this agreement is the highest secret, and it is only between Huangfu Tianxiong, Qiu Jiushi and Mr. Ruan. , it was leaked by one of you."

Ruan Xiuzhen nodded and said: "Brother Gu is a bystander, but I am involved in Huangfu Tianxiong's kindness to me, and I don't want him to be such a person." Gu Yueming said: "Huangfu Tianxiong's power is equal to that of Feng Gonggong in the imperial court. He has been at the pinnacle of power for a long time and cannot be threatened by anyone. If they lose their power and position, they will become nothing. There is no turning back for this kind of thing. And you The two have risen rapidly in recent years. In just five years, they have become heroes that the world is looking forward to. Their influence in the gang is even greater than that of Huangfu Tianxiong. And know."

Ruan Xiuzhen thought deeply. Gu Yueming continued: "Under normal circumstances, Ji Nieti's city would not reveal such crucial secrets to me, but because I just had a battle with Qiu Jiushi, Ji Nieti believed that I and yours The relationship is incompatible, and because it was not an ordinary situation at that time, Ji Nieti was thinking about the fate of ghosts and gods, maybe he was also obsessed with ghosts and revealed things that should not be revealed. What did Mr. Ruan think of?" Ruan Xiuzhen took a deep breath and said, "It's dangerous!" Gu Yueming said with great interest: "Which aspect are you referring to?"

Ruan Xiuzhen said: "Compared to Huangfu Tianxiong, the Ninth Master and I are not as sophisticated as him. Frankly speaking, the Ninth Master and I are both young and successful, and many things will be self-righteous and taken for granted. But Huangfu Tianxiong treats us differently. It’s because of conflicting emotions. On the one hand, we are his right-hand man, but on the other hand, we compare him. But what really makes him vigilant is our ambition.” Gu Yueming said: "Your ambition is to change the dynasty, right?" Ruan Xiuzhen said: "The Ninth Master and I have no ambitions for power and position, but we just can't see the corruption and incompetence of the imperial court, and hope to make things right. What I said is very dangerous, I mean Huangfu Tianxiong has always wanted to get rid of the two of us, so we should I had a close relationship with Ji Nieti, but because my son was killed by the five escaped robbers, the plan was disrupted. My grandma, Baichun, told the Ninth Master this morning that the goddess Yunmeng is friendly to us, and it is very likely that the truth is."

Gu Yueming said happily: "Another person who disturbed Huangfu Tianxiong and Ji Nieti's deployment was Qian Shichen. Suddenly, Ji Nieti discovered that Qian Shichen had become a traitor, and immediately threw him into chaos, unable to deal with the two effectively." Ruan Xiuzhen said: "It's called one-handedness, hundred-handedness. I finally understand why I didn't notice that Ji Nieti mobilized troops, because Huangfu Tianxiong helped me a lot. Sigh! This time I really have a headache." Then staring at Gu Yueming, said in a deep voice: "The treasure of the ancient city in Yunmeng Ze is the Chu Box, what exactly is that?"

Fengzhu Pavilion. Wu Zixu looked at Yanniang's portrait and was very satisfied. What he drew was the scene of seeing Yanniang for the first time. She had just woken up, half lying on the couch after taking a bath and changing clothes, receiving deacon-level personnel in the building, and preparing for a busy night. The lazy style, the charm revealed inadvertently, is her most touching side. After Wu Zixu hung Yanniang's painting on the wall, he took out another piece of drawing paper and put it on the table, all the beauties of cicada's wings appeared in his heart. When it was difficult to decide, Wushuangnv came.

The beauty still had a frosty expression, barged in unceremoniously, pulled out the chair, sat at the round table, didn't look at him, just stared at the blank drawing paper. Standing in front of the drawing paper, Wu Zixu looked at her, then at the drawing paper, put the pen on the pen stand, and said with a smile, "Would you both come to see me paint?" Wu Shuang said coldly: "I don't have the leisure time, but you can continue to draw." Wu Zixu sat down on the other side of the table, smiled and said, "I just want to rest for a while. Ha! Could it be that Shuangshuang came to chat with me?"

Wushuang took out an iron cylinder about one foot long and two inches in diameter from her bosom, with a gleaming cross hook attached to one end, put it on the table in front of him, and said nonchalantly, "Do you know how to use this thing?" ?” Immediately, Wu Zixu's eyes lit up, he picked it up, took a closer look, and said with great joy, "My God! It turned out to be a hook fired by a spring mechanism. I had one, but I couldn't get it back from the hiding place. Ha! How long is the rope?" Wu Shuang said: "There is a button on the barrel, which can control the length of the launch. The rope is made of beef tendon, and it can reach a distance of two feet."

Wu Zixu cast his eyes on her, flattered and said: "Does Shuangshuang want to lend me this treasure?" Wushuang shrugged her shoulders and said, "Who told you to need it more than me?" Wu Zixu put the hook into his waist pocket, and said happily, "Shuangshuang is so kind to me." Wu Shuang said angrily: "Who treats you well? Just because you are my partner now, I don't want you to die before you arrive in the ancient city." Wu Zixu saw that she got up and left, and hurriedly said: "Don't go! I have something to ask Shuangshuang for advice."

The Wushuang girl showed an impatient look, and frowned, "What's the matter?" Wu Zixu squinted at her, and said, "Yueming told me that when he saw me for the first time, Shuangshuang was concentrating on admiring my reward image. Hey! Why are Shuangshuang so interested in my appearance?" Wushuangnv's pink face immediately turned red, and she said displeasedly, "What else did Gu Yueming say about me?" If it was Baichun instead of Wushuangnv, Wu Zixu would joke that he would say everything, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous with Wushuangnv, for fear that she would walk away.He smiled and said: "Only a little bit. Hey! I hope everyone can understand more, because until now, I still can't understand how Shuangshuang can see through my disguise at a glance. What is going on now is a puzzle game, which seems to be irrelevant Things can be pieced together into a clear image. The more you know, the better it will be for you to find the ancient city.”

Wushuang lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "I know you, no matter what you turn into, I will know you. Sigh!" Wu Zixu's eyes widened, and he said, "Do you really know me, or do you feel that you know me?" The Wushuang girl said angrily: "You still have to ask such a stupid question!" Wu Zixu leaned against the back of the chair and murmured, "I hope we weren't husband and wife in our previous life." Wushuang girl's cheeks changed from reddish to bright red, and said angrily: "A dog can't spit out ivory, ghosts are something from your previous life, it must not be like this, if you talk nonsense again, I will beat you up. " Wu Zixu stretched his waist and said: "This is the best, I feel at ease!" The Wushuang woman couldn't help asking: "What are you worried about?" Wu Zixu leaned forward and said seriously: "Why don't you worry? Although it is said that the previous life belongs to the previous life, and the present life belongs to the present life, but if we were husband and wife in the previous life, in this life we ​​have to watch our former wife fall in love with the best and only friend. It's going to feel really weird. Right?" Wu Shuang said angrily, "What crazy words are you talking about?" Wu Zixu laughed and said: "It turns out that Shuangshuang's coquettish demeanor is so touching. I'm not talking crazy, but the truth. I don't know what's on Shuangshuang's mind, but I'm sure that my friend Gu Yueming has a deep-rooted affection for Shuangshuang." , the lonely swordsman is no longer alone." Wu Shuang's face was red like fire, she stared at him fiercely, shook her head after a while and said, "Tell your friends, I will never fall in love with anyone." Say that and leave. Eight Gardens.The square pavilion in the backyard. "boom--" Qiu Jiushi slapped the stone table with his palm, and said angrily: "The big dragon head is actually a despicable villain." Ruan Xiuzhen said: "Don't be angry, our current situation is extremely dangerous, and our lives are at risk at every turn, let alone grand plans." Qiu Jiushi said: "Is Da Longtou really this kind of person?" Ruan Xiuzhen said: "Da Longtou's martial arts and martial arts are definitely not as good as the Ninth Division, and his intelligence and strategy are also inferior to mine, but on the one hand, we will never catch up with him, because we are playing tricks and conspiracy, because you and I are both Not this kind of person. We would never have tolerated his son’s rampant behavior and doing all kinds of bad things. But he is like this, which shows that he is a natured and selfish person. We wondered why the death of his son was so important to him. He hit it so hard, in retrospect, he must have done it." Qiu Jiushi nodded and said: "Yes! He usually talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and looks like he is doing justice for the heavens, but every time I mention the suffering of the people to him, he always avoids it everywhere, or says that the time is not yet ripe." Ruan Xiuzhen said: "Think about it! He transferred you to the sub-helm of Poyang Lake. To put it mildly, he wanted to expand his territory. In fact, he just wanted you to stay away from the river so as to reduce your influence. There is one more thing for sure. Our guess is that the person responsible for contacting us in this operation is his confidant. As long as this person provides false information, we will be kept in the dark and have no idea of ​​the real situation. As Gu Yueming said, Jneti will definitely mobilize people, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to hide it from us." Qiu Jiushi said in a deep voice: "I'll go to Poyang immediately, gather people, hold our ground, and then try to link up with our brothers who are closely related to us, and then settle accounts with Huangfu Tianxiong." Ruan Xiuzhen said: "Don't be reckless. If my prediction is correct, we will fall into Ji Nieti's net if we leave Yueyang. The safest place is Yueyang City, at least on the surface it is under Qian Shichen's control." Qiu Jiushi's expression changed, "Is the situation really that bad?" Ruan Xiuzhen sighed: "It's worse than what you think now. Gu Yueming said that Ji Nieti knew what happened in the city like the back of his hand, so we know that there are people from Ji Nieti in Qian Shichen's army, and Huangfu Tianxiong is also in our subordinates." If Gu Yueming hadn't reminded us, you and I would definitely not be able to leave Yueyang City alive." Qiu Jiushi said distressedly: "The problem is that we can't leave Yueyang City at all, so there is no way to advance or retreat?" Ruan Xiuzhen said leisurely, "You forgot again." Qiu Jiushi asked in astonishment, "What did you forget?" Ruan Xiuzhen said: "Of course we have forgotten that no matter how things develop, we are still deeply trapped in a miraculous situation of fate." Qiu Jiushi couldn't believe it and said: "Is the bureau still there?" Ruan Xiuzhen slowly said word by word: "Not only is this game still in place, but it is also stronger and more confusing than ever before. The best thing is that we have no choice but the situation is still the same, it's just reversed, from having to catch the five thieves to being a must Help him escape from Yueyang." Qiu Jiushi was confused and said: "I don't understand." Ruan Xiuzhen said: "The only way out for us now is to flee to Yunmeng Lake. Only in this strange place, a strange realm dominated by the goddess Yunmeng, can we have the qualifications to compete with Ji Nieti. We can attack, retreat or defend, and we can flee to Poyang even if we are in trouble. It is said that although Chu has three households, if Qin dies, Chu must die. As long as we save our lives, we have a lot of capital to fight back." Qiu Jiushi said: "Am I really stupid? I still don't know much about it." Ruan Xiuzhen said: "You can't grasp the real situation because you don't understand the matter of Chu He and the key role played by the five escaped thieves in the whole matter. Let me explain in detail." Qiu Jiushi cheered up and said, "I'm listening." Mrs. Hua Meng was sitting in the cabin, and there were two stout servants who were in charge of monitoring her.This is the first time in her life that she regrets that she did not learn martial arts from her master like her junior sister Baichun. As long as she has Baichun's skills, she will have the opportunity to fight off the deck. She would rather throw herself into the sea than face Eunuch Feng. future. Yue Qi came suddenly, first ordered the two servants to go outside, and then closed the door himself, sat down beside her and said: "Madam Tired has been waiting for a long time, but I must have the order of the Grand Duke before I can come here to talk to you." Madame speak." Mrs. Hua Meng heard that there was something in his words, and said in amazement: "Master Yue..." Yue Qi cut her off and said: "To make a long story short, not only is Ji Shan still alive, but he also sent a pigeon letter to Gu Yueming, warning him that Duke Feng will personally lead the army to go south." Mrs. Hua Meng's delicate body trembled, she stared blankly at him, speechless. Yue Qi cast his eyes on the toe of his boots, and said in a deep voice: "I completely trust Madam, Madam should not doubt me. Eunuch Shan wants me to protect Madam with all my strength, and tell Madam that we still have a chance, so Madam must not seek short-sightedness. " Mrs. Hua Meng tremblingly said: "Master Yue..." Yue Qi said: "I understand Madam's feelings. Eunuch Shan has already rushed to Yueyang, and things may still turn around. The current Eunuch Feng is like a poisonous snake leaving its lair. He is both a hunter and prey. Madam understands ?" Mrs. Hua Meng nodded, then shook her head. Yue Qi breathed out, stood up, and said: "The Grand Duke wants me to ask Madam about the real relationship with Gu Yueming, and I will say that Madam is just Gu Yueming's confidante and has no other relationship. Madam, take care." Say that and leave in a hurry.
