nine words

Gongziqing regained his former calm, and Chu Jiuge was willing to sit down and let the maid bandage his injured arm. The two sat in the palace like this, waiting for the other to speak, but they knew in their hearts that the other would not speak.

Chu Jiuge's arm still hasn't subsided, and the injury is like a purple eggplant, but now he doesn't feel any pain, but his heart is a little uncomfortable.

He doesn't hate Gong Ziqing, but why does he treat him like this every time we meet?

"When do you plan to ascend the throne?" Chu Jiuge asked, knowing that Gong Ziqing was about to rule out dissidents and ascend the throne he had coveted for a long time.

Gong Ziqing propped his chin with his left hand, and wrote absently with his right hand. Halfway through writing, he finally lost his patience, crumpled the paper into a ball, and threw it out, "Call me that old man who writes fast!"

So, the civil servant who was the secretary just now was pushed and shoved in front of the two of them again, with an aggrieved expression on his face, and he copied what Young Master Qing said.

"I planned to do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but when you came, I wanted to put this matter aside for the time being."

"You have been on hold for so many years, why continue to delay for me?"

Gong Ziqing was left speechless by Chu Jiuge's question, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At this time, a spy came to report: "The king of the town died suddenly, and the palace was in chaos!"

Even if Chu Jiuge couldn't hear it, he could still tell from the shape of his lips in these eight short characters.The King of Zhen is the younger brother of the former king of Yan Guo, that is, Gong Ziqing's uncle, who has been restricting Gong Ziqing's power after Gong Ziqing killed his father, and after Gong Ziqing transferred his base to the royal tomb, he monopolized the power and temporarily managed the government.

In this way, with the death of King Zhen, the royal family of Yan is bound to be in chaos. The former faction supported Prince Qing, but the royal relatives and veterans who were afraid of King Zhen's strength will definitely invite Prince Qing to leave the mountain now, while the other faction supports Prince Zhen on the surface. In fact, the royal family still has plans to usurp the throne in their hearts, and I am afraid that they will also start to mobilize their forces, and a fierce battle is inevitable.

"How did the king of the town die?" Chu Jiuge immediately got up and asked. The spy was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gong Ziqing, and after receiving the latter's affirmative nod, he replied with a blushing face: "Cut by... There..." The spy pointed to the old clerk beside him, "I dare not go to the imperial doctor, because I bleed too much in the end..."

Hearing this, Gong Ziqing burst out laughing, although he knew that his Uncle Wang had the same habit of playing with male pets as he did, but King Zhen thought he was the real dragon emperor, so how could he be eliminated so easily?If King Zhen becomes a major event in the future, wouldn't the world have a eunuch emperor?This is much more bluffing than Wei Zhongxian's nine thousand years old.

Chu Jiuge is also a little ashamed. It seems that the whole family of the Yan royal family is a thief, and there is no good thing. This way of death is really unbelievable. One death means one less disaster.

"Who is that male pet?"

"Xu...Xu Yan is."

Hearing this, Gong Ziqing was also shocked, and couldn't believe his ears for a moment, he stepped forward and grabbed the spy by the collar, and picked him up, the anger on his face made the spy almost lose his strength, "What did you say? ! Xu Yan is my own younger brother, how could he be the king of the town!"

The spy immediately fell to his knees, knocked his head on the ground, and refused to lift it up. "Yes...Young Master Yan has been under house arrest in the palace of King Zhen since you were transferred to the royal tomb. It took a long time for the spies to notice that something was wrong. They saw it when they went in to investigate at night...Young Master Yan has been refusing to let us tell You even threatened death. Recently, he got the news that you want to take back the real power from nowhere, so he pretended to be obedient, so that the king of the town let go of his guard until..."

"Where is Yan? Let me ask you how he is doing now!!"

The spy didn't know whether he was frightened, or he felt pity for the son Yan who died young to prevent the throne from being passed on to the traitors. He cried bitterly and kowtowed to the son Qing. "Young Master Yan... died for his country..."

Chu Jiuge, who had not been able to hear the conversation between the two, was very anxious in the face of the urgent situation, and asked the old clerk to copy down the original words of the two for him. Immediately, two big turbid tears hit the paper, gritted his teeth, and wrote the five characters "Young Master Yan died for the country".

When Chu Jiuge saw this, he was also shocked, and couldn't help feeling sad.

……how could be?

He still remembered that when he was controlled by Gong Ziqing in the strict palace, that young young master would often plead with Gong Ziqing, saying things like "That big brother is too pitiful", "Brother Wang, let him go!" How about living with him?" Such naive words.

Chu Jiuge knew that Xu Yan was a kind-hearted child. How evil was the secret war of Yan Wang's family to reduce that young man to a victim...

"He is, how did he die?"

"Take poison and commit suicide... Before leaving, leave a letter, 'Recover Yan's room, no complaints and no regrets. March is quiet, my brother don't read.'."

Chu Jiuge stepped forward and grabbed Gong Ziqing's sleeve, knowing that thousands of words could not temporarily relieve his pain, so he simply chose not to speak.

This kind of sympathy is not for Gong Ziqing, but for his younger brother who died young, Xu Yan is right.

Gong Ziqing pushed the spy away, and took a few steps forward. Unexpectedly, his legs were too weak to walk, and he staggered against the door frame, looking at the air vent above the tomb, and the round moonlight shone coldly on the darkness the earth, full of sarcasm.

"Calm down, he..." Chu Jiuge couldn't say any words of comfort, because even he himself was in deep pain and couldn't extricate himself...

The death of Xu Yanshi, son of the Yan Kingdom, started a war for Gong Ziqing to regain power. With an order, he assembled the army secretly hidden in the royal tomb.The space in the underground palace is very large, and the soldiers it can accommodate will be enough for Gong Ziqing to subdue the rebels in the palace.

He had to avenge the killing of relatives, even if he was reluctant to part with Chu Jiuge, there were always some things he couldn't help himself.

When leaving, Gong Ziqing said to Chu Jiuge: "Yan country is in chaos, it is not safe for you to stay here, I will let you go."

Chu Jiuge reached out his hand to stop Gong Ziqing, telling him not to be so impulsive, but suddenly found that he could no longer grasp the back. Compared with the Gong Ziqing who imprisoned him many years ago, now he seems to be carrying an invisible weight on his shoulders. The heavy burden made him breathless and helpless.

Chu Jiuge just stretched out his hand in a daze, watching Gong Ziqing's back gradually go away...

A while later, Yu Jingnian and Shen Huafeng rushed over. Seeing him like this, they couldn't help but say that Yu Jingnian carried Chu Jiuge on his shoulders and looked around for a way to escape.

"No! Jingnian, I can't leave him alone! Yu Jingnian, let me go!"

"Stop making trouble! Young Master Qing has done so many unreasonable things to you, what can you be reluctant to do? It is important to escape. If something happens to you, how can I explain to Xun Sui?"

Of course Chu Jiuge couldn't hear his words. He was carried on his shoulders and his arm was still seriously injured. There was nothing he could do about Yu Jingnian's actions, so he could only plead loudly: "Yu Jingnian! Xu Changqing is not wrong. I won't forgive you!"

Hearing this, Yu Jingnian finally stopped, stunned for a moment in disbelief, then put Chu Jiuge down, looked straight into the latter's eyes, and asked in astonishment, "What did you say?"

Chu Jiuge stomped his feet and shook off the helpless tears on his face: "Xu Changqing was forced to do all this. Even if we escape, we won't be able to escape the border of Yan Country for a while. If something happens to Xu Changqing things, or being seized by thieves, none of us can survive!"

Yu Jingnian and Shen Huafeng looked at each other, a little at a loss.

"Now you have to help Changqing destroy the traitors, go quickly!"

Seeing that Chu Jiuge was in such a hurry, the two of them didn't know what to do, so they simply practiced their muscles that hadn't been stretched for a long time, and went to fight.Nodding to each other, Yu Jingnian patted Chu Jiuge on the shoulder, signaling him to take care of himself, then drank Shen Huafeng and left the tomb.

Chu Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief, to put it bluntly, with the help of these two generals with high martial arts skills, Gong Ziqing will not lose even if the situation is unfavorable.

Seeing a few maids moving things in a hurry, Chu Jiuge immediately went up to find the maid who bandaged his wound earlier, and asked, "Do you know where Qishi is?"

The maid was taken aback: "Qishi?"

"It's the Seven Grass Stone!"

The palace maid nodded hesitantly. Gong Ziqing has always hidden the seven grass stones in a secret dark room. Although she knew that Gong Ziqing kept the seven grass stones for Chu Jiuge, she didn't dare to make decisions for a while, for fear of offending others. what's the trouble.Gong Ziqing's execution of her is a trivial matter, if something happens to Chu Jiuge, who can take the responsibility?

"Don't think about it, give it to me quickly! You don't want something to happen to Gong Ziqing either!"

Having said all of this, how could a slave not be loyal to protect the Lord?

The palace maid nodded, took Chu Jiuge's uninjured hand, and ran into a blind corner while looking around. After looking around, no one noticed, she squatted down, stretched out her hand and gently pressed the dark space.

The sound of the organ being activated was not obvious in the noise, a stone door slowly opened, the maid pushed Chu Jiuge in, and then jumped in herself.

"Will the army of King Yan's family enter the royal tomb?" Chu Jiuge asked a little worried.

The palace maid shook her head, took Chu Jiuge's hand, and wrote on his palm lightly with her fingers: "No, they are very afraid of the organs in the royal tomb. The world only knows that the Yan royal family is good at organs, but they don't know that only Gong Ziqing is very proficient."

"So, everyone else only knows a little bit?"

The maid nodded, helped Chu Jiuge up, and straightened the splint that came loose in the chaos again.Previously, Chu Jiuge's attention had been elsewhere, and he didn't feel that there was anything to play. Now that she touched it, Chu Jiuge grinned his teeth in pain and almost burst into tears.

"Young master, why are you still so afraid of pain?"
