Chapter 312 Kyoto Vortex

Chapter 312 Kyoto Vortex

Kyoto, Honglu Temple.

As Gu Chuan guessed, just after dawn, a group of people came to the palace, following the emperor’s order, to invite Gu Zhan into the palace to face the saint.

The imperial palace is very large and majestic.

However, Gu Zhan did not have a chance to get a glimpse of the whole picture. However, Gu Zhan felt a little bit emotional when he came all the way. As expected of the Great Xia Center, the security is very strict. There are countless masters, and the land gods can’t perceive it. In just one corner of the imperial city, Gu Zhan could perceive no less than ten top masters.

The carriage moved forward quickly, and Gu Zhan had been sitting in the carriage, and was pulled directly outside a palace.

Now the emperor is seriously ill, and the crown prince is in charge of the country, and it will take some time for Gu Zhan to formally confer on the Marquis. However, Gu Zhan’s status is different now. In order to show importance, the emperor will have to meet alone even if he is seriously ill. .

When he came to the gate of the palace, a **** asked Gu Zhan to wait for a while, and then went into the palace. After a while, the **** came out and asked Gu Zhan to enter the palace.

This is a resplendent palace, very grand, but there are very few decorations inside, it looks a bit empty, and you can see a luxurious big bed in the deepest part at a glance.

At this moment, a gray-haired old man was lying on the bed, and several servant girls and eunuchs were waiting beside him, and a beautiful woman was sitting in front of the bed. Just sitting there made Gu Zhan feel a little surprised.

Beautiful women, Gu Zhan has seen a lot,

However, this woman is different, not because she is much more refined than women like Gu Qingcheng and Kou Baimen in terms of appearance, but because of her temperament, just sitting there, makes Gu Zhan feel that this is the beauty in the world.

The **** who led Gu Zhan in hastily whispered beside Gu Zhan: “Master Hou, this is the empress.”

Gu Zhan suddenly realized.

Empress Lv Wantang was once a famous beauty in the world. She was a noble daughter of the Lu family. She married Ji Yi, who was still a prince at the time, as her concubine when she was a teenager. Later, when Ji Yi became the throne, Lu Wantang naturally became Queen of the world.

As a queen, she also has the martial arts cultivation of a master. Although she is old, she has been well maintained. She looks very young and has such an aura that even Gu Zhan is amazed.

The white-haired old man lying on the bed, whose identity is self-evident, is naturally the current Emperor of Xia, Ji Yi.

Gu Zhan looked at Ji Yi’s appearance, and was a little surprised in his heart. It was so different from the image of the wise and powerful that he had heard. He was only ten years older than Empress Lu Wantang next year, but now the two seem to be quite different. Thirty or forty years old are reasonable.

The most important thing is that Ji Yi is completely different from the rumored image, with white hair, creases all over his face, dry skin, and a thin body, where there is no trace of martial arts, he looks like an old man who is about to die .

Gu Zhan took two steps forward, bowed slightly and said: “Chen, Gu Zhan, see Your Majesty, see Empress Dowager.”

On the dragon bed, Ji Yi struggled to lean against the head of the bed and sat up a little, with a smile on his face, he stretched out his dry hand and waved lightly, saying: “Gu Aiqing, come here… come closer, let me take a good look Look!”

Gu Zhan froze for a moment.

Queen Lu Wantang’s expression was flat, and she said: “Marquis Yun, Your Majesty is ill, please come here and have a good talk with Your Majesty.”

Gu Zhan cupped his hands and said, “Observe the order.”

After finishing speaking, Gu Zhan took two steps forward.

Ji Yi said softly again: “Come closer, come to the bedside, I want to take a good look at my number one in the world!”

The queen’s pupils narrowed slightly, she took a deep look at Ji Yi, then slowly got up, and said to the **** beside her, “See the seat for Marquis Yun.”

The **** immediately moved a stool from the side and put it in front of the bed.

The queen stepped aside.

Gu Zhan felt a little doubtful and surprised, he really couldn’t figure out what the emperor meant, and his behavior was a bit too weird, completely different from what he expected.

Gu Zhan sat by the bed, cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty.”

Ji Yiduan looked at Gu Zhan carefully, looked up and down for a long time, slowly stretched out his hand, held Gu Zhan’s hand, and said weakly: “Okay, okay, you are indeed the youngest Hou in the past two hundred years of my Great Xia. Lord, yes, yes, no wonder Yang Qing has not contacted me for decades, and the only letter she sent was recommending you to me.”

At the moment when Ji Yi held Gu Zhan’s hand, Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, and was startled suddenly, he actually felt a faint ray of toxicity from the emperor’s body.

Surprised in his heart, but Gu Zhan did not show his expression on the surface, and said: “Your Majesty is talking about Mr. Yang Yunzhi?”

Ji Yi said softly: “Yes, it’s Yunzhi, he sent me the last letter before he passed away, and it was the only time he spoke to me in the past 20 years, that is, to make me treat you as a The pillars of the country.

Zhen, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, as Yunzhi said, she is majestic, the unicorn of the country! ”

“Your Majesty’s reputation is too high.” Gu Zhan said.

Ji Yi held Gu Zhan’s hand, smiled slightly, and said: “It’s nothing but reputation, but it’s nothing more than reputation. I fell in love with Aiqing when I saw Aiqing. It’s my blessing to have a good son like you in Daxia, and it’s Daxia. Summer Blessing!”

After finishing speaking, Ji Yi suddenly asked, “Aiqing, are you married?”

“Huh?” Gu Zhan was stunned.

Ji Yi said with a smile: “My princess Anle, who hasn’t married yet, is now about the same age as Aiqing…”

“Your Majesty!”

At this moment, the Queen suddenly said: “What are you talking about? Anle has already been promised to him. Besides, it’s the first time that Marquis Yun sees you. If you tell him these things, you won’t be afraid to scare Marquis Yun.” !”

Ji Yi chuckled helplessly, and said, “I’m a little confused, alas, I don’t blame you, when I saw Marquis Yun, I really fell in love with him!”

The Queen said: “Your Majesty, the coming days will be long, and the Marquis Yun will not leave Beijing in a day and a half. There is plenty of time. When your dragon body recovers, it will be fine to see Marquis Yun more.”

Ji Yi smiled lightly: “It’s so good!”

The queen looked at Gu Zhan and said: “Yunhou, Your Majesty’s dragon body is not in good condition. The imperial doctor ordered you to rest more. Let’s come here today. After a while, His Majesty’s dragon body recovers, and I will call you here.”

Gu Zhan got up, cupped his hands and said: “In that case, I will take my leave first!”

Ji Yi nodded slightly.

The queen ordered to the **** next to her, “Send Yunhou out of the palace.”

Immediately, the **** respectfully asked Gu Zhan to go out.

Wait until Gu Zhan goes out,

The queen waved her hand to let all the maids and eunuchs in the palace go out and close the door.

At that moment, the smiling queen’s face turned gloomy, and she looked coldly at Ji Yi on the bed, and said, “Your Majesty, do you want Marquis Yun to break into the palace to make things right? Why didn’t you just talk to him directly?” After all, Marquis Yun claims to be number one in the world, so he might be able to fight against the entire Imperial City Imperial Army and the Shrine Pavilion with his own strength!”

Ji Yi lay motionless on the bed, looking at Queen Lv Wantang with cold eyes, without speaking.

Lu Wantang slowly approached the bed and said, “Your Majesty, why are you doing this? For a Gu Zhan, you actually want to be an enemy of the Ji family and the Lu family. Don’t you know who gave you your throne? Gu Zhan doesn’t even want the throne!”

Ji Yi’s face was gloomy, and he said, “I’m not doing it for Gu Zhan, but for Xia Guo, and for the country and society that I bought so hard, Lu Wantang, do you know what you are doing now? The Kingdom of Xia is going to perish, and the Kingdom of Xia will be destroyed in your hands!”

“Hmph,” Lv Wantang said, “Xia Kingdom will not be destroyed by us, but will rule the world forever, Ji Yi, you are really confused, don’t you understand the meaning of the law of seeing God? You don’t understand Is the meaning of the inheritance of the immortal sect behind Gu Zhan?

Do you know that the method of seeing gods can create unlimited land gods? Don’t you know what this means? This means that we can directly annex the Southern Jin and Northern Wei, get out of the Northern Wilderness, and unify the world! ”

Ji Yi sneered and remained silent.

Lu Wantang added: “Do you know how terrifying Gu Zhan’s inheritance is? He is an ordinary person who doesn’t know martial arts. He has achieved such an achievement in just four years. If this inheritance is in the hands of Lu and Ji, Is there any difficulty in unifying the world?”

Ji Yi shook his head slightly, and said, “You are more greedy than your eyes.”

“It’s not that we have been deceived, it’s that you are wrong and have forgotten the essence of this world!”

Just then, an old man with white beard came out of the hall.

When the queen saw the old man, she hurriedly bowed and said: “Old ancestor.”

The old man nodded slightly, walked up to Ji Yi, and said, “Yi’er, ancestor, I will ask you one last time, are you really not cooperative?”

Ji Yi looked at the old man in front of him, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

This is his ancestor of the Ji family, the strongest of the several land gods of the Ji family. Back then, he single-handedly supported him to ascend to the throne, but now he personally came to destroy him.

Ji Yi looked at Ji’s patriarch and said, “Patriarch, you are really wrong. The method of seeing the gods is a new system of martial arts inheritance. I know its value very well. I know it can change the times, but, There is no need for us to do this. Gu Zhan is a citizen of my Great Xia, the Marquis of my Great Xia. He can create the method of seeing the gods. Doesn’t it mean that he is more valuable than the method of seeing the gods?

Now Daxia has just stabilized, and internal and external troubles are still there, but because he is number one in the world, and because he created the method of seeing gods, as long as he sits in the frontier for a day, my Daxia will not have to worry about foreign enemies for a day, and everyone in the world will be happy. Coveting his way of seeing God, doesn’t it just prove that everyone is afraid of his way of seeing God,

He is a martial idiot, a person who is obsessed with martial arts, as long as my royal family treats him sincerely, he will return his sincerity. My Daxia has a Dinghaishenzhen, why should we destroy him? If he spreads the method of seeing the gods, wouldn’t the royal family be the first to benefit from it in my Great Xia? ”

The patriarch of the Ji clan shook his head, and said: “You are wrong, you didn’t understand at all, our real purpose is not the method of seeing God, but the supreme inheritance behind Gu Zhan!”

Ji Yi smiled helplessly: “If it’s for the method of seeing the gods, I can still accept it. The meaning of the method of seeing the gods is too great, but you are only doing it for an unnecessary inheritance?

The so-called supreme inheritance is nothing more than your imagination. There is no evidence at all that Gu Zhan possesses any supreme inheritance. You have to gamble the whole country for an unfounded thing. Xia Guo can no longer afford it. , if you really attack Gu Zhan, you will win, the world will be in turmoil, the hearts of the people will collapse, and under the fear of the Southern Jin and Northern Wei, you will join forces to attack,

If you lose, Gu Zhan will definitely raise an army, and even open the country’s gate directly. If foreign enemies invade, Xia Kingdom will perish! ”

“You’re wrong,” Ji’s patriarch said, “First, Gu Zhan definitely has a supreme inheritance, otherwise, it would be impossible to have such an achievement?”

Ji Yi shook his head and said, “Couldn’t he be exceptionally gifted? Couldn’t he be unparalleled? Besides, even if there is an inheritance, why are there so many magic tricks in this world, why are only a few people successful? With the same martial arts, some people are strong while others are weak?

Have you ever thought that your so-called inheritance may be just a very common thing, and it is not the inheritance that is powerful, but Gu Zhan? ”

The patriarch of the Ji family shook his head and said, “Gu Zhan, a person who has no spiritual roots, a person whose background is so humble that he is in the mud, can he be stronger than us? What he can achieve through that inheritance, we Anybody Ji can pull out will be better than him!”

Ji Yi closed his eyes slightly and did not speak.

The patriarch of the Ji family said again: “In addition, Gu Zhan is very strong, it is undeniable, but he can’t win, this is Kyoto, the Ji family and the Lu family joined forces, what can he use to win, in addition, Guangming Temple and Cihang Jianzhai came two times A great cultivator of the five-level cave, how can Gu Zhan resist?”

Ji Yi sighed lightly, and said slowly: “Old Patriarch, Xia Guo, will perish in your hands!”

The patriarch of the Ji family chuckled and said: “You are wrong, the Xia Kingdom has achieved eternal glory in our hands, and we will let the Xia Kingdom unify the world, Ji Yi, you still haven’t understood, people’s hearts are meaningless and useful , There is always only real power.

As long as you have enough power, any resistance will be suppressed, and any enemy will be defeated. Whatever the Northern Wei Dynasty or the Southern Jin Dynasty, they will all surrender. The people’s hearts you care about are just a joke. Your so-called sincere treatment Well, people like Gu Zhan are not worthy, people like them are lowly, and those inheritances in his hands will never be able to exert their maximum value! ”

Ji Yi sighed and stopped talking.

…

After coming out of the palace, Gu Zhan returned to Honglu Temple, and not long after, Gu Chuan, who was going to court, came running over with wine again.

Gu Zhan led Gu Chuan to a room,

Gu Zhan didn’t drink, but asked directly: “Is there a Princess Anle in Kyoto?”

Gu Chuan asked in surprise, “You know everything?”

Gu Zhan asked doubtfully: “Know what?”

Gu Chuan said: “Li Anle stalked Rong Yichu to death, insisted on recruiting Rong Yichu to be his son-in-law with all his strength, and even made trouble with His Majesty several times to call off her original marriage, and begged my sister to give it to me. She has an idea!”

Gu Zhan asked curiously: “And then?”

“You really don’t know?” Gu Chuan asked doubtfully.

Gu Zhan shook his head.

Gu Chuan said: “After that, there is no more. Rong Yichu put Li Anle in awe of Li Anle. In order to avoid Li Anle, he hid in Jixia Academy for three months without going out. Later, he didn’t even say hello. Slip to Yunxi.”

Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said, “Is there any problem with Li Anle?”

Gu Chuan said: “This Li Anle has a bad reputation, but that doesn’t really matter. It’s because she’s dissatisfied with her reputation, so she keeps smearing herself. The Du’s family is a distinguished family, and they are more concerned about their interests. It is impossible for them to stop marrying because of their own reputation.

At the beginning, the reason why I always kept Rong Yichu away from Li Anle was because Rong Yichu had no background at that time, and it would be easy to get into big trouble if he provoked Li Anle. In fact, it doesn’t matter if it is now, Rong Yichu is It’s Mr. Seventeen from Jixia Academy, and you are backed by you Yunhou Gu Zhan, a mere Du family, so don’t take it to heart. ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Chuan asked in confusion: “Since you don’t know about her and Rong Yichu, why did you suddenly ask her?”

Gu Zhan slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, “I met the emperor today and found that he was not sick, but poisoned!”

“What?” Gu Chuan turned pale with shock.

Gu Zhan murmured: “In addition, I found some problems in the communication with the emperor. I suspect that he may have been controlled and asked me for help. He mentioned Li Anle. I guess he should have asked me to find Li Anle , you can know the real situation.”

Furukawa’s face became serious, and he said, “You mean, there might be a coup d’état in the royal family?”

“I don’t know.” Gu Zhan shook his head and said, “But I need to see Li Anle. The emperor can’t ask me for help for no reason. It’s very likely that this matter has something to do with me. He knows that if the truth is true, he won’t Stand idly by, or he wouldn’t ask for help from someone I don’t know very well.”

Gu Chuan said in a low voice: “I’ll arrange it. Your goal is too big. If this matter is related to you, you will be watched by many people for every move you make. If there is any abnormality, it is very likely that you will be noticed, which will lead to a panic!”

Gu Zhan nodded and said, “Then, drink!”

“drink wine!”

…

In the capital, the news of Gu Zhan’s entry into the capital is still clamoring, and the envoys of the Northern Wei and Southern Jin Dynasties are also attracting attention. For a while, the capital is full of excitement.

Gu Zhan stayed in Honglu Temple for another three days,

During these three days, he visited Kyoto all over the place accompanied by officials from Honglu Temple.

Gu Chuan, on the other hand, was the same as before, bringing wine to Honglu Temple every day at noon or evening to look for Gu Zhan.

This evening,

Gu Chuan came to Honglu Temple with wine as usual to find Gu Zhan.

As soon as I entered the door,

The smile on Gu Chuan’s face disappeared instantly, and he became very solemn, and said, “You guessed it right, something really happened to His Majesty.”

Gu Zhan said in a deep voice, “Did you find Li Anle?”

Gu Chuan nodded and said: “When we found Li Anle, she was also trying to contact us, and she was already under surveillance. However, she didn’t know much. She just got an oral order from His Majesty.”

“What oral order?” Gu Zhan asked.

“Let’s go,” Gu Chuan said in a low voice, “Li Anle said His Majesty’s oral order is just one sentence, asking you to find a way to leave the capital as soon as possible and return to Yunxi immediately!”

Gu Zhan frowned, and said: “It means that the imperial decree announcing my visit to the capital this time may not be issued by the emperor?”

Gu Chuan nodded and said: “My sister’s guess is that someone in Beijing may want to attack you, it should be for the sake of seeing the gods, and His Majesty would not agree to attack you. You have a different meaning to Xia Guo now, and you After the battle of Maguan, carrying the hearts of the people of Xia, if you take action against you, the country of Xia will definitely fall into chaos.”

Gu Zhan said in a deep voice: “So, someone took action to control the emperor? However, the Ji family is one of the strongest forces in the Xia Kingdom today. In this capital, even the second sect of Buddhism may not have a chance to take action against the emperor. Bar?”

“But what if it was the Ji family who made the move?” Gu Chuan said: “The royal family represented by His Majesty will put the country and the country as the most important thing, but the Ji family is different. Although the Ji family is the royal family, there are several internal divisions, because The royal family is the most powerful, so it was His Majesty who became the emperor at the beginning.

However, now that your method of seeing the gods is in the world, you should be clear about what your method of seeing the gods means. This is an opportunity that can change the rules of the world. No one can resist the temptation. Now that His Majesty is under control, Ji There must have been internal strife among the clan, and the royal family was defeated.

Even the Ji family would rather let Jiangshan Sheji ignore you and want to take action against you, let alone the relatives of the Lu family. Now it is equivalent to the Ji family and the Lu family joining forces to **** your way to see God, so you must leave now , back to Yunxi.

My sister has already discussed with the elders of the clan. Now that you return to Yunxi, the ancestral land of the Gu family will be relocated immediately, and you will enter Yunxi in an all-round way. With your power and influence in Yunxi and the assistance of my Gu family, you will definitely be able to Support for a while.

And here in the capital, the royal family can’t be captured without a fight. My sister will find a way to get in touch with the royal family outside. When the time comes to rescue His Majesty, as long as the royal family supports it, this matter can be calmed down! ”

Gu Zhan waved his hand and said, “No, I can’t leave now.”

Gu Chuan said anxiously: “Don’t say that you are going to rescue him, I don’t believe you, Gu Zhan, are such a person!”

“That’s not true,” Gu Zhan said with a light smile, “I came to Beijing this time. Besides meeting you, the most important thing is to find the inheritance left by Echigo.”

“What time is it now?” Gu Chuan said anxiously, “What inheritance is needed!”

“It doesn’t matter,” Gu Zhan waved his hand and said, “No one in this world can kill me!”

Gu Chuan said urgently: “Brother, listen to me, I know you are number one in the world, but don’t underestimate the strength of the Ji and Lu clans, they can jointly control the Xia Kingdom for seven or eight hundred years, they have a strong foundation It’s hard to measure, it’s easy to hide a hidden arrow, but it’s hard to defend against it, so I’m afraid they will do something secretly!

You are still young and have unlimited potential. We are not in a hurry. Echigo’s inheritance may be really powerful, but the world is so big that there are always other inheritances. Moreover, as long as Your Majesty survives this calamity, we will You can easily go to the Linghu Cave to get the inheritance! ”

“Forget it,” Gu Zhan waved his hand and said, “I’m really not interested in getting involved in this muddy water in the capital, but I don’t like being tricked by others, and I don’t have the habit of running away from the enemy, since they want to attack me , then I will go and weigh them how many catties and taels they weigh!”

Gu Chuan opened his mouth and said, “Brother, you… oh, forget it, sure enough, my sister was right, you can’t just leave like this.”

While talking, Gu Chuan took out a pair of purple and gold tiger-shaped seals from his arms, and said, “This is the Army Talisman of the Tiger Camp.”

Gu Zhan was surprised and said: “Really got it?”

Gu Chuan said: “This is what His Majesty left on Li Anle. The military talisman in the crown prince’s hand is an imitation. This military talisman is real. It was given to Li Anle by His Majesty. It should be for her to take the opportunity to enter the Huben camp.” Beijing rescue driver, but this may be a trap!”

“Never mind!”

Gu Zhan smiled and said: “What kind of trap, conspiracy, can it be harder than my fist?”
