    Shangguan Yun walked back from the door and stopped when he was about fifteen steps away from the commander's position. He could feel the other party's vigilance and knew that this was the limit. "Master Zihe has snatched the imperial seal back, and he will hand it back with his own hands."  He's an old immortal, his reaction is really fast." The emperor was sitting in his commanding position with a calm expression, not showing any panic, as if the person standing next to him was just an ordinary guard.  "Invite him in, alone." Gu Shenwei said. At the moment, he was the only person in the tent who could make a decision.  Master Zihe walked into the tent, glanced at it, and a wry smile appeared on his face, "I thought I knew the most, but it turns out I know the least. This place is empty, can there be a place left for me?" "Of course." The emperor was kind.  He said, "Zhenzhen is a living god in this world. I just need such a person. As for the past" "What do you think of the past? What is important is the present." Zhenzhen interrupted the emperor's words, looking a little uncomfortable.  It was too polite, but it avoided embarrassment. "The important thing is that Kongtong Party is still loyal to the court." Zihe Zhenren stood side by side with Shangguan Yun. He did not perform the courtesy of a minister or address his majesty. He held the ribbon in both hands.  , "Returning to Zhao intact, the leader of the Shifang Sect was hit by my palm and couldn't run far." "The real man has unparalleled magical power." The emperor said.  "I have to thank King Xiao for his help. The arrows he ordered were shot just right. They were all aimed at Ci Zhisheng and passed me by. This is called a magical skill." This statement can be regarded as a joke, or it can be  Taking it as a sarcasm or an accusation, the emperor laughed a few times and chose the former.  Master Zihe and Shangguan Yun also laughed together, and then the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. The two could not walk past, the emperor could not stand up, and no one accepted the imperial seal.  After a while of silence, the other three people were waiting for Gu Shenwei to speak, but found that he refused to speak.  The emperor had no choice but to say: "King Yun, show me your seat to the old immortal." "Yes." Shangguan Yun moved a chair. Master Zihe sat down unceremoniously, put the silk ribbon on his knees, and sighed: "I'm old.  It¡¯s no use, my hands and feet feel sore after fighting. Is this King Yun from the Western Region?¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Master Zihe nodded.  Your Excellency, I have heard of your name when you traveled to the Central Plains in the early years. Unfortunately, you prefer to associate with the Qingcheng Sect. You have no acquaintances in our Kongtong Sect, right?  I have admired him for a long time, but by chance, it was a big regret that I didn¡¯t meet him during my trip to the Central Plains. "Haha, no wonder, I am too old for a young man." The two exchanged polite greetings.  It was as if the emperor and Gu Shenwei across from him didn't exist.  After a while, Master Zihe finally turned to Gu Shenwei and looked at him curiously, as if it was the first time they met, "Does our cooperation still count?" "It does." Gu Shenwei said, he had just saved  The emperor's life would have been killed if he hadn't appeared in time.  Ci Zuisheng probably killed the unidentified young man casually.  "Shh, then I'm relieved. The Kongtong sect is not completely defeated after all. Let's talk openly and honestly." "Okay." The atmosphere is awkward again. There are many things to talk about, and no one knows where to start.  Shangguan Yun spoke first, "Let's talk about the Shifang Sect first. Who invited them?" Master Zihe was the first to shake his head.  "Obviously it's not me. It's said that it's the Xiaolan clan who came specifically to kill Gu Shenwei, but Ci Zisheng seems to be more interested in Yuxi. So the Xiaolan clan is just a cover." "The Shifang Sect is a traitorous cult.  It is even less possible for me to ask them for help," the emperor said. He had just escaped death from Ci Zuisheng and still held a contemptuous attitude towards the Shifang Sect.  Shangguan Yun's eyes fell on Gu Shenwei.  Gu Shenwei refused to speak, so Shangguan Yun had to say: "It can't be me. Before coming to the Central Plains, I had never even heard of the name Shifang Sect." Gu Shenwei didn't seem satisfied, and Shangguan Yun continued with a smile:  "To make a long story short, King Xiao sent an envoy to find me. The country of Xiaowan was weak and in need of assistance. I felt that the offer he offered was irresistible, so I summoned Jinpeng killers for him, and later Zhong Heng, because he was better than me.  It reminds everyone more of the Dragon King, that¡¯s what happened.¡± ¡°Pang Ning,¡± Gu Shenwei said, answering Shangguan Yun¡¯s previous question, ¡°It was General Pang Ning who bribed the Shifang Sect. He learned about it from certain channels.  Something big was going to happen in the capital, and his troops couldn't be mobilized without any excuse, so he asked Ci Zuisheng to take the lead. " The emperor lowered his head slightly, with a gloomy expression. "It must be the Queen Mother. She asked her uncle for help No wonder Ci Zuisheng chased after her.  Go to the Yulin Army to seize the imperial seal." "The Queen Mother volunteered to take the Imperial Seal.How could it be possible to return it to His Majesty and let Ci Zuisheng take it away again?  "Zhenzhen Zihe still wanted to protect the image of the Queen Mother. After thinking for a while, he continued: "General Pang Ning planted spies around the Queen Mother, so Ci Zuisheng only knew about the Royal Seal and not about His Majesty.  "The emperor reluctantly nodded, admitting that Zhenzhen's speculation was more reasonable. "This was a good start. The four people analyzed the same problem together. Zhenzhen Zihe even said the word "Your Majesty", and the atmosphere was greatly relaxed. "Next.  Can you tell me a little bit about what your Majesty is going to do?  "The real person asked. Shangguan Yun got the hint and he answered, "In fact, everything is simple. King Xiao is gathering the Yulin army. His Majesty will appear later and lead the army into the town to quell the riots and eliminate the rebels. Then  ¡­¡± ¡°Wait a minute, who does Ni Tang refer to?  "The real person did not let go of these crucial words. "The Jianghu people who listened to the slander, of course, the sects like Kongtong Sect and Longhushan who stayed out of the matter will not be implicated, as well as the Queen Mother, the princess, and the Jinpeng killer they bribed,  and the unrepentant minister.  " "I can guarantee that the Queen Mother will never bribe the Jinpeng killer.  " Shangguan Yun had already admitted that he had gathered the killers. Zihe's "guarantee" meant something else. Shangguan Yun couldn't decide, so he looked at the emperor. The emperor's good mood was mostly ruined by Gu Shenwei beside him.  Especially the narrow knife, no matter how calm he looked on the surface, he was still a little scared in his heart, so he hoped to cut through the mess quickly, "The real person's guarantee can be fulfilled. The only person who bribed the killer to assassinate Prince Xiao is the princess.  " The real man's smile became more sincere, "And Gu Shenwei, does the killer still have a relationship with him?  " The emperor no longer lied to others and said to himself: "The princess has a grudge against the Gu family.  Gu Shenwei was framed, so of course the killer had nothing to do with him.  " "There are also Lin Xiaoshan and Chen Jinke.  "Gu Shenwei raised his concerns for the first time. "They were also wronged.  "The emperor's tone was becoming cold. Since the other party was willing to put forward conditions, it was a sign of relaxation. Suddenly he understood that Master Zihe actually sincerely wanted to help him get out of the predicament. "The old guy is useful, no wonder the Queen Mother is like this  Trust him. The emperor thought to himself, and his impression of Master Zihe was a little better. "Actually, I'm confused. The whole plan doesn't need the Dragon King at all. It can be done without him, so why should he be involved?  Master Zihe asked, as if he was apologizing for Gu Shen. "It was my idea."  " Shangguan Yun took over the responsibility. The frank smile on his face made his words even more credible, "Originally, my plan was to use killers to directly get rid of the Queen Mother, Princess and others, but King Xiao reminded me that the Central Plains should be governed by filial piety.  In this country, assassination is shameless in the world.  So I said, if you can't assassinate others, you can always assassinate yourself.  But there must be a reason for the assassination, and the Dragon King is just right. He comes from the Western Region and will make all factions in the court suspicious of each other.  " Shangguan Yun did not completely lie. He was the one who proposed the framework of the plan. King Xiao did not take it seriously. After the emperor heard about it, he was moved, especially the idea of ??"assassination himself", which was unexpected and logical, just in line with his temper. "  "Death" has many advantages, the most important one is that it can free the emperor from the control of the Queen Mother. As the emperor gets older, he becomes smaller and smaller in the eyes of his mother. There is no "death".  "As a cover, he never thought of leaving the palace. Another advantage is that it can ignite the struggle between the opposing factions and allow the emperor to profit from it. "The kings of Shandong are on good terms with King Xiao.  As long as His Majesty can come in person, the kings can immediately build a rebel army to counterattack the capital and punish Pang Ning. The first step went smoothly, but the Queen Mother was not easy to deceive, so she immediately blocked the pass to Shandong.  " Shangguan Yun continued to explain. "The emperor was trapped in the weapon bureau, so he decided to take risks and mobilized heroes to cause a great chaos. The effect was better than he expected. The power foundation of the queen mother and princess was not as deep as imagined. The ministers were waiting and watching.  , which greatly improved the emperor's situation. In the end, the Queen Mother personally sent the imperial seal. At that time, the emperor had already transferred out of the Qi Zang Bureau. After receiving the news, he immediately met with his mother and accepted the imperial seal, but did not completely forgive her for the past.  Shangguan Yun's attempt to attract the Dragon King's hatred obviously failed. Gu Shenwei had no hatred at all. He now understood almost all the facts, except that the emperor was closest to him.  Feeling the disconnect and vigilance, he said: "Actually, I have always wanted to meet the Dragon King and know what kind of person he is, and he did not disappoint me.  " Gu Shenwei didn't know how to express his thoughts, so he pulled out the narrow knife and put the scabbard on the table. There was silence in the tent, as if a cough would break the thin window paper, making everything calm.??Recover.  "Aren't you interested in any of this?" Only Master Zihe's smile remained intact.  "Not interested." Gu Shenwei said, pointing to the roof of the tent, "Can you two please help me clean it up, and then we can continue talking about the things I'm interested in." Master Zihe and Shangguan Yun looked at each other.  , then rose up from the ground at the same time as if competing, jumped out of the hole that Ci Zhisheng broke through, shouted two or three times, fisted four or five times, and the sky above became quiet.  "You still want to take revenge?" the emperor asked.  "I want to know the truth." Gu Shenwei knew that this was more difficult than revenge, but he had already walked more than half of the way and just wanted to finish the last few steps.  "You know, your surname is not Gu, and you are not the son of my father. The rumors are ridiculous. In fact, as long as I see your appearance, I can know the truth." Before asking the reason, Gu Shenwei felt unprecedentedly relaxed.  The emperor discovered this keenly, and the heavy pressure in his heart finally dissipated.  "But I still want to kill you." "If you kill me, you won't get revenge, but you will lose everything, especially the people you care about, who will be implicated. This is not an assassination that no one knows about, this is a public regicide.  ." The emperor became calmer. He thought that if he could negotiate on this, the situation would not get worse. This Gu Shenwei seemed to be a reasonable person.
