Chapter 95 Three Conditions
Lin Xiaoyi quickly ran to Gu Dan, looked him up and down with her beautiful eyes, and when she saw the blood on the corner of his mouth that had not yet been wiped off, she took out a handkerchief from her sachet and handed it to him.
Gu Dan didn't answer.
Strictly speaking, the two should be in a completely hostile relationship at this moment.
One is Prince Yu's concubine, and the other is Mo Qiu's best friend.
One becomes a phoenix and attaches himself to Prince Yu; the other is a martial arts master who suppresses the imperial guards. They are incompatible.
Whether in terms of identity or position, the two can be said to be incompatible.
As for the friendship from more than a decade ago? Gu Dan is no longer a child, and Lin Xiaoyi is no longer the little girl who can be happy all day long by buying a string of candied haws with a few coins.
How can we say that there is still much true love? It is just that they have left some face for each other.
If you really regard past friendship as something important, you will probably be completely sucked out of it.
The moment Gu Dan heard her voice, he already had the idea of kidnapping her.
If Lin Xiaoyi hadn't come to him and expressed her full kindness, her neck would be in his hands now.
After all, although a martial arts master can gallop through an army of thousands, it is not convenient for him to bring others along.
Gu Dan was naturally not afraid of a big battle, but Xun Ke, Cang and Qin Lisheng were still here.
You can't carry one on your back, hold one in your arms, and clamp another under your elbow, right?
I’m afraid I’ll have to conquer the world single-handedly!
"Why are you here?"
After seeing Lin Xiaoyi, Gu Dan's face did not show much emotion, he just asked calmly.
Zen Master Buwu obviously followed Prince Yu, and Prince Yu was also the next crown prince tacitly known by everyone, and countless people had already secretly joined him.
Emperor Zong Ming was dead, but that didn't mean the Dayue Dynasty would fall apart in an instant.
In a short period of time, the new emperor, Prince Yu, will become another huge mountain weighing on the people.
It is only natural that Mo Qiu, who killed Emperor Zong Ming, will also face reckoning from the new emperor.
As a close friend of Mo Qiu, the court certainly wouldn't reason with him. Did these imperial guards invite him to the prison to have tea? After having already torn his face with Prince Yu's Mansion, it was unwise for Lin Xiaoyi to run to him.
"I"
Seeing the indifferent look on Gu Dan's face, Lin Xiaoyi silently took back her handkerchief and said, "Some soldiers came to Prince Yu's Mansion to summon Master Buwu, saying that the imperial guards surrounded a martial arts master and urgently needed help from experts. I asked around curiously and found out that the battle was taking place right here."
Lin Xiaoyi pursed her full red lips and continued with a wry smile, "Master Buwu's speed was too fast. Even if I took the fastest carriage, I couldn't catch up with him. I just didn't expect that the martial arts master they were talking about was actually you."
They looked at each other in silence.
The passage of time seems slow, but it is moving forward unswervingly.
Over the past ten years, both of them have changed a lot, and perhaps it is even difficult for them to understand what happened between them.
The only thing that connects the two of them is the thin and simple emotion from more than a decade ago, which cannot be described as very deep.
The situation has come to a point where it cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
"What's going on? Why has this place become like this? Why are there imperial guards surrounding it? Where are the guards?"
In silence, another very familiar voice sounded.
Not far away, Andy Hui came here with a medicine box, supported by two soldiers.
It would be more accurate to say that he was carrying me along rather than supporting me.
Gu Dan's expression suddenly became solemn, his eyes filled with anger.
Well, now even the other arm is occupied, leaving only two legs to run.
Noticing Gu Dan's expression, Lin Xiaoyi quickly explained, "I was afraid that I would arrive too late and you would be captured and injured. I haven't practiced medicine for more than ten years, and I'm afraid I can't master it well, so I sent someone to invite Uncle Xu to come with me. Uncle Xu, you must be assured."
She said so.
Gu Dan took a deep breath and said coldly: "You'd better!"
"I"
Lin Xiaoyi looked aggrieved, biting her red lips with her pearly teeth, and said in a very low voice: "I didn't know you were a martial arts master."
The coldness on his face faded a little. Gu Dan let out a breath, ignored her, and quickly rushed towards where Andy Hui was.
When the two soldiers saw Gu Dan, they couldn't help but tighten the swords at their waists.
But Lin Xiaoyi shook her head vigorously and ordered them to let go and stop.
"Uncle Xu!"
After pulling Andy Hui to his side, Gu Dan finally felt relieved.
For more than ten years, Andy Hui has been taking care of him as his junior, so he naturally also treats Andy Hui as his elder.
If Xu Zhian has an accident, will Prince Yu still want to ascend the throne? His ashes will be scattered!
Xu Zhian grabbed Gu Dan's exposed arm and carefully checked it with his old eyes. When he saw that there were no obvious injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Although it was still unclear what exactly had happened, the disappearance of a piece of Gu Dan's sleeve was a real fact. In addition, there were the fallen imperial guards on the ground and the big pit in front of the courtyard gate. Even the most slow-witted people knew that something big had happened.
Xu Zhian stretched out his sleeves to wipe the blood from the corner of Gu Dan's mouth, and asked distressedly: "Why is there blood?"
"It's just a small matter, Uncle Xu, don't worry."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It was hard to explain the complexity of the matter, so Gu Dan led Xu Zhian around the big pit in front of the courtyard gate and walked into the small courtyard.
Lin Xiaoyi actually followed in again.
"How did you guys get to the point of fighting each other?"
As the saying goes, old people become more cunning. Although no one said anything, Andy Hui still felt the strange atmosphere between Gu Dan and Lin Xiaoyi, and his brows couldn't help but frown.
Back then, he had tried his best to bring the two together. Imperial Physician Lin was still alive at that time, and everything was stable in the Imperial Hospital.
It seemed like just a moment, and everything changed unknowingly.
"Let's talk!"
Looking at Gu Dan with her beautiful eyes, Lin Xiaoyi said sincerely.
"What do you want to talk to me about? How about killing Prince Yu?"
Gu Dan still didn't look at her well, and now she didn't even have the chance to suppress the imperial guards single-handedly.
Qin Lisheng had quietly picked up a broken stone lock and stood behind Lin Xiaoyi, looking ready to make a move.
All Gu Dan needs is a glance to send her to heaven.
"Don't say these angry words."
Lin Xiaoyi shook her head slightly, ignoring Qin Lisheng behind her, and said seriously: "Although there were some misunderstandings, it didn't cause any losses, right? There is still a chance to talk."
As she spoke, she looked at the people in the yard and indeed none of them had suffered any injuries.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Dan asked, "How do you want to talk?"
"I hope you help Prince Yu ascend the throne. No one wants to offend a martial arts master. As long as you are willing, these imperial guards will withdraw." Lin Xiaoyi said seriously.
The late emperor is dead, and he left behind a huge mess. Let's save some trouble for future generations!
After all, Emperor Zong Ming was killed by Mo Qiu. If Prince Yu knew that Mo Qiu's best friend was also a martial arts master, he would be crazy to send people to try to suppress him.
If he were let go, he would most likely end up like the second Emperor Zong Ming, unless he never left the palace in his entire life.
If we make a reasonable inference, Prince Yu is indeed willing to put aside their past grudges.
His eyes moved around the four people in the courtyard, and Gu Dan said, "It's not impossible, but I have three conditions."
"you say."
Lin Xiaoyi looked delighted. If it could be discussed, then everything would be fine.
"First, Emperor Zongming was killed by Mo Qiu, so we should not blame Mo Qiu. The new emperor will be enthroned and will grant amnesty to the whole country. I hope that Mo Qiu will not be held responsible."
"Secondly, Gong Shangguo is still in prison. He must be released."
"Third, I hope to see the immortal classics that Emperor Zong Ming has been searching for for more than twenty years."
