Chapter 92 Jumping off the cliff
Xu Xiao was very gentle, and his voice was so gentle that the woman beside him got goosebumps all over her body.
"Anci, be good and follow me." Xu Xiao held out his hand again.
"Dream on." Xie Anci's beautiful eyes turned, and she resolutely jumped off the cliff.
"Xie Anci——" Xu Xiao's eyes widened, and he rushed up, but it was too late.
Looking at the white valley under his feet, Xu Xiao pounded the ground angrily.
"Find me! I want to see him alive or dead!" Xu Xiao's eyes were red. He didn't expect Xie Anci to be so stubborn, and would rather die than live in disgrace. He
actually jumped off the cliff without looking back.
The woman glanced at the valley and patted her chest in fear: "Master, I'm telling you, the chances of the Regent King surviving are slim."
"Shut up! He can't be dead. He won't do anything he's not sure of." Xu Xiao glared at the woman, his eyes full of murderous intent.
The woman was startled and immediately fell silent.
On the other side, the person Zhou Yunqing wanted to find was Xu Xiao.
He was able to successfully escape from the brothel thanks to Xu Xiao, and of course he also gave him a lot of money.
Zhou Yunqing wanted to find Xu Xiao to inquire about Li Jinchen, but he didn't expect that he couldn't contact him.
Zhou Yunqing bit his lower lip, knowing that he was probably fooled.
"Damn it!" Zhou Yunqing smashed the bone flute in his hand to the ground, and the bone flute made a crisp sound and shattered.
The torches that had been extinguished lit up like a long river, followed by Wu Ying's exclamation.
"Gu Miao is here!"
"General Gu is back?"
"Dad!"
Several people rushed out of the courtyard. Gu Miao was tall and handsome, like a pale-faced scholar.
He was riding on a horse, his body covered with dust, and he looked a little tired, but his eyes were bright and unusually bright.
"Dad!" Gu Lingyu ran up and grabbed the reins.
"Smelly boy, did you listen to your mother in the capital?"
"Dad, now is not the time to talk about this." Gu Lingyu choked, thinking that his father was very inappropriate.
"A Miao..." Wu Ying stepped forward and Gu Miao held her hands.
The two had tears in their eyes, and Wu Ying looked more like a female general.
"I already know what happened. Why don't we go to the palace now and catch him by surprise?" Gu Miao suggested.
Gu Lingyu and Zhou Yunqing agreed.
"He should be attending the palace banquet with the Emperor of Cangyue Kingdom. Let's set off now." Gu Lingyu jumped on his horse.
The others also thought it was feasible. Instead of waiting, it would be better to take the initiative.
The few people led the well-trained soldiers to the palace.
Li Yunhuai knew nothing about this and was drinking alone.
He didn't dare to say too much for fear of being exposed.
Zhao Jingxing was also quite irritable, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.
The other ministers enjoyed it very much, and they were all drinking happily.
"My dear ministers... I have something to announce." Just as Li Yunhuai spoke, a panicked shout came.
"Oh no, oh no! General Gu has led the soldiers into the palace!" An eunuch ran forward tremblingly, and fell to the ground in fear while speaking.
"What!?"
"General Gu?"
Li Yunhuai stood up quickly and handed the military order to Eunuch Sun, "Go and call someone."
"Yes." Eunuch Sun did not dare to delay, took the military order and rushed out.
Zhao Jingxing sighed, knowing that nothing could be accomplished today, and slipped out under the cover of his men. As
soon as the eunuch finished speaking, a group of people rushed in.
Gu Miao, the leader, stared coldly at the "emperor" behind the curtain.
"How dare you, General Gu, leave the border without permission?" Nangong Boyu was the first to stand up and scold.
"If I don't come back, I'm afraid that the Aolong Kingdom will have to change its name." Gu Miao sneered, not afraid of him.
Nangong Boyu glared at Gu Miao: "What
nonsense are you talking about?" "General Gu, do you want to rebel? Today, the emperor is hosting a banquet to welcome the emperor of Cangyue Kingdom. What are you doing?" Some officials who usually don't get along with Gu Miao also stood up.
"General Gu, General Gu... Don't be impulsive." Someone shook his head regretfully.
This Gu Miao is too impulsive, and he's probably finished this time.
Everyone looked at "Li Jinchen" who was sitting in the first seat.
At this time, Li Yunhuai looked impatient and said in a cold tone: "General Gu, you know the price of rebellion for power."
Gu Miao raised his eyebrows: "I am not trying to usurp the throne, but to kill the traitors!"
Gu Miao pointed his spear at Li Yunhuai who was in power.
The ministers around were all shocked. What was Gu Miao talking about?
He actually said that the emperor was a traitor? He
was really rebellious!
"General Gu, what are you talking about? Put down your weapon quickly, maybe the emperor can spare your life." Someone next to him whispered.
"Yes, General Gu, don't be confused."
"..."
Everyone whispered to stop Gu Miao, Gu Miao sneered: "He is not the emperor at all! You fake, give me your life!"
Gu Miao raised his gun and flew directly to Li Yunhuai. The soft curtain was lifted, and the face of "Li Jinchen" appeared in front of everyone.
"Isn't it the emperor? General Gu is crazy?"
"Yes, isn't that the emperor?"
"..."
Everyone was so scared that they hid under the table, watching the situation outside tremblingly.
Li Yunhuai would not passively wait to be attacked. He dodged Gu Miao's long gun and rolled to the side like a wolf.
"Gu Miao, how dare you commit treason, you deserve to be put to death!" Li Yunhuai shouted angrily.
Gu Miao attacked again: "You fake, don't try to make excuses!"
Li Yunhuai drew out his sword to fight, and naturally refused to surrender.
Seeing this, Gu Lingyu and Zhou Yunhuai also joined the battle.
They attacked Li Yunhuai's face specifically to remove the mask on his face.
Li Yunhuai smacked his lips, and cursed in his heart, "Is Eunuch Sun dead?
Why hasn't he brought the imperial guards back yet? "
Eunuch Sun had a hard time speaking, and as soon as he left the palace, Pei Xuan pointed a sword at him.
"I really didn't expect Eunuch Sun to betray the emperor." Pei Xuan's calm eyes were filled with sarcasm.
"Master Imperial Master, don't talk nonsense. When did I betray the emperor?" Eunuch Sun tried to calm down and held the military token in his hand tightly.
"Where is the emperor now?" Pei Xuan asked coldly.
"Isn't the emperor in front of the palace? Master Imperial Preceptor is really asking even though you know the answer." Eunuch Sun smiled awkwardly, looking at the snow-white sword at his neck and slightly tilted his body.
"Stop talking nonsense, take me to find the emperor, I know that person is not the emperor." Pei Xuan handed the sword forward again, and a blood mark instantly appeared on Eunuch Sun's neck.
Eunuch Sun looked embarrassed, "Master Imperial Preceptor, you shouldn't get involved in this matter, this is the intention of the late emperor."
Eunuch Sun pointed to the sky, indicating that he had no choice.
"The emperor is legitimate, no matter who he is, he is not qualified to inherit the throne." Pei Xuan narrowed his eyes and disagreed. Sun Gonggong paused
. He knew it was like this, but he dared not disobey the late emperor's will.
