Dare to lose the country and live up to the emperor II

Pang Ce scolded angrily, "I just know how to laugh."

Suzaku stopped laughing and stood aside respectfully, but Zhan Pei covered his laughter and stopped teasing.

Gongsun Mingyue stood up, wanting to resolve the embarrassment, but his weak body almost made him fall down. Pang Ce, who was on the side, quickly grabbed him with his arms. He wanted to explain the misunderstanding, but unexpectedly made the misunderstanding even more serious.

Zhan Pei couldn't help it, he laughed.

Gongsun Mingyue felt a wave of heat gradually rising from the back of her neck, passing over her ears, and creeping up her cheeks.

He wanted to push Pon Ce away, but his helpless hands made the things that were already out of control even more ambiguous.

Suzaku kept holding back his laughter, but at this moment he couldn't hold it anymore, and he also followed Zhan Pei and laughed, he finally saw today how he can play the general around like this.

Pang Ce turned a blind eye to the two of them. At this moment, he only had Gongsun Mingyue in his eyes, and he didn't want to think about the reason.

Gongsun Mingyue struggled to sit at the table. He wanted to push Pon Ce away, but it was still in vain, so he didn't bother to worry about it anymore, after all, he had more important things to do.

Gongsun Mingyue said weakly, "I think I already know where Longtoushan is."

Zhan Pei and Suzaku immediately stopped laughing, and hurried forward to hear more clearly.

"You know?" Pon Ce was unexpected, but at the same time extremely excited.

"Brother Gongsun, how do you know where Longtou Mountain is? Could it be that Zhuge Yan killed you because you knew the location of Longtou Mountain?" Zhan Pei asked suspiciously.

"Probably. That Longtou Mountain is on Xifeng Mountain." Gongsun Mingyue heard that he was rescued from the corner of Xifeng Mountain, and he was sure that was where Longtou Mountain was.

"You mean Xifeng Mountain? Impossible. That mountain is very desolate. Yang You searched for it many times but never found the so-called Dragon Cave." Pang Ce asked.

"Since it's a dragon's lair, of course it's not that easy to find, otherwise why is it called a dragon's lair?" Gongsun Mingyue smiled palely.

"Master Gongsun, why do you think that Xifeng Mountain is Longtou Mountain?" Suzaku still expressed doubts about this result.

"Because I have been to Longtoushan." Gongsun Mingyue's words left the three of them dumbfounded.

"Have you been to Longtou Mountain?" Ponce's voice was obviously much higher than before.

"Yes, I have been there for so many days." Gongsun Mingyue fell into deep thought, "It is like spring all the year round, bamboo songs are sung at night, and streams flow eastward. It is simply a fairyland on earth, but I know it is just an illusion."

"Hallucination?" Zhan Pei didn't understand.

"There is a kind of flower in the world called Ningxiangzi. When the flower blooms, it is fragrant, but if you smell it too much, it will make people feel like a mirage. What you see is what you think in your heart. In fact, there may be nothing there. Barren land, or even just a cold cave." Gongsun Mingyue continued, "I have smelled such a fragrance of flowers before, on Xifeng Mountain."

"Brother Gongsun, I still don't understand. Didn't you disappear in the secret room of the palace? How did you end up in Xifeng Mountain?" Zhan Pei sat beside him and asked in bewilderment.

"I think the secret room in the Wangfu should be used by the people on Longtou Mountain who often go in and out of the Wangfu. That's why they took me to Xifeng Mountain." Gongsun Mingyue still didn't quite understand this point, so his brows were furrowed.

"They?" Ponce couldn't help tightening his hands while supporting him.

Feeling his anger, Gongsun Mingyue smiled slightly and said, "It's not them, it's them, a pair of mother and daughter."

"Mother and daughter?" Zhan Pei's eyes lit up, "So, Brother Gongsun has seen their mother and daughter?"

"Yes, I've seen it." Gongsun Mingyue saw the figures of Qingqing and Luwu in front of his eyes. He didn't want these two weak women to be the mastermind behind it, but now all signs seem to be the only possibility .

Gongsun Mingyue sighed deeply and said: "This pair of mother and daughter, the daughter is Qingqing, who is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the mother is Luwu, who should be in her thirties. They grow fragrant seeds on Xifeng Mountain. I think it should be There is also a group of poisonous snakes..."

"What, how could it be possible that Yang You didn't know they were doing these things in Xifeng Mountain?" Suzaku didn't understand.

"Because they are very smart, they planted Ningxiangzi all around themselves, and no one will find them wherever they go, because what they see is what they think in their hearts." Gongsun Mingyue said.

"Then why weren't they influenced by Ning Xiangzi?"

Gongsun Mingyue thought for a moment and said: "I haven't figured this out, maybe there are some herbs that can resist the toxicity of Ningxiangzi."

"Brother Gongsun, you think Xifeng Mountain is Longtou Mountain because of these two mothers and daughters?" Zhan Pei asked.

"They told me." Gongsun Mingyue said with a smile, "They said that mountain is called Longyin Mountain, the mountain where real dragons hide, isn't it Longtou Mountain?"

"Brother Gongsun, how did you escape?" Zhan Pei was more interested in this question.

"Because I woke up." Gongsun Mingyue said with a wry smile, "I walked too far, so the poison of Ningxiangzi hurt me less."

"Gongsun Mingyue, do you know how to find this mother and daughter?" Pang Ce asked.

"Unfortunately, I don't know," Gongsun Mingyue continued, "I fell off the grass because I got lost and there were poisonous snakes chasing after me."

"Venomous snake, is it the same as what we saw in the secret room last time?" Pon Ce felt a pain in his heart.

"I don't know. It's too dark and I can't see clearly. I just remember that voice seems familiar." Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help trembling. Facing a large group of poisonous snakes, everyone would feel terrified.

"Okay, you'd better rest first." Ponce felt his fear and said with concern.

"Brother Gongsun, I have one last question." When Zhan Pei heard that he was going to rest, he hurriedly asked, "Why didn't the mother and daughter kill you?"

Gongsun Mingyue shook her head, unable to understand: "I don't know. I can't figure it out."

After getting Gongsun Mingyue settled down, Pang Ce and the three walked out of the room together. Zhan Pei spoke first, "Do you think this Xifeng Mountain is really Longtou Mountain?"

"What are you thinking about so much? Just go and have a look tomorrow." Suzaku said.

"Okay, let's all go back and rest first," Ponce said from the side, "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

To be honest, he was able to come back safely, which was what he was most concerned about. Let's save other troubles for tomorrow.

Pon Ce walked into the study with heavy steps, only to find that someone was already waiting for him there.

Xiaoman didn't turn around, she knew it was him who came, she said lightly: "It seems that the prince has settled down Lord Gongsun?"

Without saying a word, Pon Ce walked aside and sat down heavily on the chair.

"The general doesn't like Xiaoman. Xiaoman has nothing to say, but Xiaoman reminds the general that you are the only son left in the Pang family. Whether the Pang family can continue the incense depends on you. If the general doesn't like Xiaoman, Xiaoman can give it to you." The general accepts a concubine, but the premise is that the concubine cannot be a man." Xiao Man said expressionlessly.

"What did you say?" Ponce grabbed her neck, as if he was thinking about the known anger.

"Cough, cough, cough." Xiaoman was almost out of breath, and Pon Ce reluctantly shook his hand away.

Xiaoman coughed and said intermittently: "What did I say, the general doesn't know?"

Pon Ce walked aside angrily. Yes, he understood, but he didn't want to understand. He was afraid that once he understood, he would be lost forever.

"Xiaoman is just persuading, the general can't control Xiaoman whether he listens or not." Xiaoman's eyes were filled with tears, and she walked out of the study, "There is one more thing, Xiaoman also reminded the general, Don't trust the people around you easily, because the better you are treated, the more you may be hurt."

Pang Ce looked at the back of Xiaoman going away, and his heart was very confused. For a long time, he told himself that it was an illusion to that person, it was definitely an illusion, but now even an ordinary person can completely see through himself. Still have to lie to yourself that it's just an illusion?

He sat down at the desk weakly, picked up a divination card, and wanted to divination for himself.

up and down

He sighed deeply, maybe his end is already doomed, do he still want to fight with his fate?

Once upon a time, Pang Ce was so trusting in his fate, that my fate was up to me. He said that he was ambitious, but he always had to pay a price. Any price in the past was just a flick of his finger to him, but now this Will he still laugh at the price he needs to pay for his lofty ambition to rise above the clouds?

He closed his eyes, and countless thoughts rushed through his mind.

Jiangshan is so beautiful and picturesque, if it is my own, I would rather die than regret it.

He is also so beautiful and picturesque, but he can't have it. Since the country is easy to get, but the beauty is hard to find, why not...

Pang Ce was worried and contradictory that night, but a person with great ambitions has the courage and a heart as hard as a stone. After thinking through all this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, yes, he should be serious It's time for something.

......

There are less than ten days before the Ching Ming Festival. Many people have come to Cao Zhou one after another in the past few days. Suzaku reported that all the inns in the city are full, and it seems that there are still many people pouring in , Even Ciyun Temple is full of pilgrims.It seems that there are many martial arts people among them, and there are even some high-ranking officials and dignitaries. This place is really getting more and more lively.

On this day, the weather was surprisingly good, and Gongsun Mingyue's health was almost recovered. He thought about going to Xifeng Mountain today to look for clues. After all, he had stayed there before, so he might be able to find some clues. He called Zhan Pei I want him to go with me.

"Brother Gongsun, we went to look for it that day. There are no caves at all. There are tall and deadly trees everywhere in the barren land. I wonder why you didn't hit when you were chased by a poisonous snake. Fainted on a tree?" Zhan Pei laughed after finishing speaking.

Gongsun Mingyue rolled his eyes at him, and at this moment he was still in the mood to laugh: "How can you mortals with naked eyes see it? You have to be a smart person like me to see it."

"Beautiful." Zhan Pei said as he followed Gongsun Mingyue's footsteps, "You should really call your Gongsun shameless."

"What did you say?"
