As night falls, the lights intertwine.
The shopkeeper of Wanhua Tower lowered his head and carefully patted the clothes he had washed until they were shiny. Three hours ago, the imperial guards surrounded Wanhua Tower.
The leader of the imperial guards, wearing horse-head boots, iron armor and silver helmet, told the shopkeeper that there would be an important banquet tonight.
"General, can you tell me something?" The shopkeeper of Wanhua Tower bowed his head, took out the silver bill without any regret, and forced it into the hand of the leader of the imperial guards.
"The imperial chefs are plotting treason, and all of them are implicated. That's why you have this opportunity. If you are not careful," the leader of the imperial guards saw that there was no one around, and gestured with his fingers at his neck, "kill all nine clans."
Instantly, the shopkeeper's legs went weak. Having worked in Kyoto for thirty years, from what the imperial guards said, this was clearly a state banquet, and it seemed to involve royal secrets.
The shopkeeper thanked him again and again, and immediately perked up his spirits, walking around the restaurant tirelessly, fearing that a small omission would displease the nobleman.
"After testing the poison, all of you leave." The shrill voice of the eunuch in the palace sounded, and the shopkeeper touched the cold sweat on his back.
It’s better to leave, it’s better to leave.
Wanhua Tower was busy making preparations, and Gu Junwen was also busy.
"Major General, how many more are there?" Qin Yanzhou and Lin Lin were holding Gu Junwen's horse, their brows tightly locked.
"There are still four or five more, and they are all the most important figures." Gu Junwen casually wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared at the setting sun. Time was running out.
"Host, don't go. They are all old stubborn. They all call you a traitor and a scum, and you are still sending invitations on behalf of Chu Yun." System 101 remembered to stomp its feet.
"Tongtong, this is not like you. If I hadn't done this, Chu Yun would have closed the gates of Kyoto and even attacked from both sides with the rebels in a rage. Even if the hero was favored by the plot, he would have suffered a lot if he didn't die, and the advance team would have been in danger."
"But that's the male lead. How could something happen to the male lead?"
"What about the remaining 1,000 people? There is a way to avoid casualties. Don't worry, it's just a reputation, just be true to yourself. You can see that what Chu Yun wants is very simple."
"But…"
"Let's go." Gu Junwen took the remaining invitation, waved his hand and strode away.
"How are those two people in the palace?" Chu Yun took the information and glanced at Gu Junwen's departing back.
"Everything is arranged properly, and there are witnesses and evidence."
"Hurry up, I have waited too long for this day."
The closer it got to 5 p.m., the more Lin Lin sweated. After all, he was just a guard, not qualified to be at the banquet, so he could only stand on tiptoe and stretch his neck, looking up.
"What are you looking at?"
"See if Young General Gu has really invited Grand Tutor Han." The question sounded too familiar, and Lin Lin answered subconsciously without even turning his head.
"Your Highness!" The scream that came the next second almost overturned the sky, like a sharp blade piercing Ye Nanyiyi's eardrum.
"Keep your voice down." Ye Nan rubbed his ears and glanced at Lin Lin, who was almost hugging his thigh in pain. "Tell me carefully, how did Gu Junwen get involved?"
"It's like this..." Ye Nanyi barely pieced together the truth from the confusing words of his family members.
"I told Chu Yun about this. We had already sneaked into the city before the city gates were closed."
"What!" Lin Lin's mouth was long enough to swallow an ostrich egg, but he couldn't figure it out with his brain running at 0.5 times the speed.
"Fool! Of course it's to drag Saibei into this. With my young master's influence in Saibei, his every move will be understood as the thoughts and will of the Saibei people." Shen Anan, who was wearing a fake beard and dressed as a personal guard, jumped out and gave Lin Lin a slap in the face.
Thinking of this, Shen Anan sighed. If it weren't for this, the young master wouldn't be trapped in Kyoto and stirred into a pool of muddy water.
“Chen An’an, tell Lin Lin about what happened that day. Your young master has me there, so you don’t have to worry.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"The King of the South has arrived!" Sure enough, except for the different location and slightly smaller scale, everything was prepared according to the standards of a state banquet.
The two seats at the top, one for the master and one for the deputy, were empty, but officials were already sitting down on the left and right seats below.
Ye Nan took a quick look and found that all the officials of the third rank and above were seated, with only the chairman's seat and the front seat on the left side empty.
Ye Nan narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and as soon as he sat down, he thought to himself: Emperor Mingde, Chu Yun, and Grand Tutor Han. Chu Yun still didn't tell him the truth. If only Gu Junwen was here, he could read his mind and know everything he wanted to know in an instant.
But then again, why hasn’t Gu Junwen come back yet?
This idiot, why is he so eager to get himself involved? Hasn't he always been keen on slacking off?
