Chapter 171

Gu Chengyuan pursed his lips, leaned over to stop her exposed half of her body, and answered very patiently: "If you say no, then you won't. Be careful, don't fall."

Xuan Yinruo's head fainted and woke up from time to time, and she couldn't tell whether she was drunk or sober. She rolled her lips, turned around and sat on the armchair, and grabbed Gu Chengyuan by the collar , let him close to himself.

She pouted her lips lightly, no longer beating around the bush, and directly asked the question that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time: "Gu Chengyuan, who are you?"

Gu Chengyuan's purple eyes were dark, lingering and deep in the dark night, looking directly into Xuan Yinruo's heart, he asked: "Then what about you, who are you?"

Xuan Yinruo raised her lips and showed a beautiful smile: "You know, Xuan Yue, the eldest daughter of Dongyang Guoxuan."

"Master Xuan should also know the identity of the king."

Xuan Yinruo shook his head, with a trace of confusion in his eyes: "No, I don't know. Gu Chengyuan, I can't see through you."

Gu Chengyuan was silent for a moment, sighed faintly, and wrapped his hands around the thin and soft body in front of him: "You just need to know. In my heart, no one can replace you."

Buried in Gu Chengyuan's arms, Xuan Yinruo murmured: "Then you and Beiliang...and Xia Xin..."

Gu Chengyuan's body trembled, and when he lowered his eyes again, the girl in his arms had already closed her eyes, breathing evenly, and she had obviously fallen asleep.

He pursed his thin lips tightly, but in the end he didn't speak again. He picked up Xuan Yinruo by the waist and sent her back to the room. He took off her coat, twisted the corner of the quilt carefully, and then turned and went out the door.

Xiao Ling was standing outside the door waiting, when he saw Gu Chengyuan quickly stepped forward and told him what happened in the front hall just now.

Hearing the words, Gu Chengyuan's eyes darkened, he looked at the drawing paper again, and handed it back again: "This king knows, I have taken a fancy to Master Xuan here."

"..." Xiao Ling glanced into the room, then lowered his head, "Yes."
-
Two days later, Gu Chengyuan officially set off to return to Lanzhou. Apart from Xiao Ling, Xuan Yinruo, Mo Xuan, and Xia Xin who insisted on following him were accompanying him.

The five of them walked the waterway, saying that they were enjoying the southern scenery along the way, so they were not in a hurry. They walked slowly along the way, and with Xia Xin and Mo Xuan, two living treasures, they would not feel bored.

The reason why Xuan Yinruo agreed to go with him was naturally because the news about the key provided by Mo Xuan was probably hidden in Gu Chengyuan's Prince Regent's Mansion.

Ever since that drunkenness, Xuan Yinruo and Gu Chengyuan have been in a very strange relationship, and the relationship between the two of them is obviously not as tit-for-tat as usual.

Mo Xuan sensed something was wrong between the two at a glance, and went to ask Xuan Yinruo if he had softened towards Gu Chengyuan and betrayed him.

She replied solemnly: "Isn't the key with him? I just want to get close to him so that he can relax his vigilance, so that I can retrieve the key more easily."

Mo Xuan scratched his head, feeling that this reason was really sufficient, and he couldn't refute it for a while.

However, when he saw Xuan Yinruo handing the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Gu Chengyuan's hands naturally, he felt...it seemed not that simple.

On the other side, Shao Yun and a group of forbidden troops led the [-] soldiers led by Yu Jian into several groups the day before, walked along the forest path and quietly rushed back to Lanzhou.

At the same time, Lanzhou City, Yun'an Palace.

Gu Chengze was dressed in a red robe, standing by the window, teasing the thrush very leisurely.

Not long after, a guard came in from the door and handed over a folded letter: "My lord, this is from Anping."

"It's better to come early than to come by coincidence. I wonder if Uncle Huang is willing to show me the news from Anping?"

A voice came from outside the door, Gu Sinian walked in in casual clothes, with a smile on his face, his eyebrows and eyes were a little restrained and sharp.

Gu Chengze's hand that took the letter paper paused slightly, and then smiled: "Of course, even if the emperor doesn't come, I will offer it with my own hands."

After finishing speaking, he didn't spread out the paper in his hand, and handed it to Gu Sinian directly.

Gu Sinian showed an extremely juvenile smile: "Let's watch together."

After reading the content on the letter paper, the faces of the two of them were not very good-looking.

Gu Chengze slapped the table, his face livid: "Tie Qishan has cooperated with us for many years, but at this juncture, he suddenly cut off contact. I'm afraid that he has something to do with Gu Chengyuan."

"What does Uncle Huang mean to say that they have probably surrendered to Uncle Seventeen?"

Gu Chengze's face was gloomy, and the answer was self-evident.

Gu Sinian squinted his eyes, rubbed his fingers on the letter paper, lowered his eyelids, and suddenly spoke after a while, his voice already a little hoarse: "If that's the case, when he returns to Lanzhou, I'm afraid there will be a tough battle to come." Fight. Forbidden army, Yi army, plus thousands of troops from Tieqishan, we may not be opponents."

Gu Chengze frowned: "Then let him not come back to Lanzhou!"

After finishing speaking, he took out a token from the shadow box on the side, and handed it to Gu Sinian: "This is the troops I have deployed in Jingzhou for so many years, a total of [-] elite soldiers, and today I hand over the tiger talisman to the emperor, and let the emperor send it. Get rid of the slanderers!"

Gu Sinian's eyes lingered on the tiger amulet for a long time, and finally smiled slightly, and pushed his hand back an inch: "The emperor's words are serious, I have never been good at leading the army, this tiger amulet can only be used with the emperor's uncle." greater effect."

When Gu Chengze heard the words, his eyes flickered, and he took the tiger amulet back smoothly: "I thank the emperor for his trust, and I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand behind him, and soon someone came over and whispered: "The regent left Anping yesterday, and took the southern waterway. There are five people in his entourage."

"Mobilize all the people around you that can be mobilized, and let their corpses stay there forever!"

The guard was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
-
The group of people who were still traveling around the lake in Anping didn't seem to be aware of the coming danger. Mo Xuan made a simple playing card out of pieces of paper, and was teaching Xia Xin and Xiao Ling how to play poker in the cabin.

"Look, here are two decks of cards, one hundred and eight cards, played by four people, each person is dealt 25 cards, and keeps eight hole cards. The one who draws the landlord card is the landlord, and the other three play him one. This is from a When it reaches k, four cards are fried..."

Mo Xuanzheng was tirelessly explaining while holding the cards. Xiao Ling and Xia Xin who were beside him were obviously a little confused, but they were obviously very interested, and they were still concentrating on digesting the content of his words.

Gu Chengyuan and Xuan Yinruo stood on the outer deck of the ship, just in time to see Mo Xuan teaching patiently, her lips slightly curled up, and the contours of her face softened a lot.

Xuan Yinruo turned his head and looked at Gu Chengyuan: "Do you want to play?"

Gu Chengyuan also raised his eyebrows: "Why haven't I heard that there is such entertainment in Shangyang City?"
