Late at night, Taichu Palace, looking at Sendai.

After Zhang Changzong fell from here, some people said that this place was haunted, and Wangxiantai almost became a forbidden place in the palace. Except for the two small palace maids who had to stay here to serve, few people usually came here.

The demon has come back to live here, and has never been purified like ever. Although this purity comes from the empress's half-protection and half-house arrest, the demon doesn't care at all. After the incident with Zhang Changzong, all she wanted was to be pure.

Today, when the moonlight was in full bloom, she climbed barefoot on the high platform, untied her waist-length hair and let it spread out, and then sat cross-legged under the bright moonlight, closing her eyes and contemplating.

The two little palace maids looked at the demon from a distance, shivering for a while. In their eyes, the demon is the female ghost who looks at Sendai. If it weren't for a female ghost, who would run out in the middle of the night to absorb the moonlight, and still wear a cloak of hair, it's really crazy!

But if they saw the sweet smile on the face of the demon without a trace of evil at this moment, they would definitely think that the demon was the fairy who had just descended from the fairy palace.

When she opened her eyes, her eyes were full of joy.

"When the time finally comes, I want to verify yesterday's hexagram again!"

With a wave of his hand, the demon threw out a few copper plates. The copper plate tickled and spun for a while, and then stood still.

"The sky is strange, and the nine days are in the armor. Nine places are in the Gui, Taiyin is in Ding, and Liuhe is in the ...... Good luck! The demon grinned, "Brother Fairy, you have really returned triumphantly!" ”

"One more hexagram!"

"Nine heavens are in the third house, nine earths are in the fourth house, Taiyin is in the sixth house, and Liuhe is in the third house...... Hee-hee, I guess we're going to meet soon! Hey, why is there still a layer of danger? ”

"Don't scare me! It's just three things, and it's the last hexagram today. Sanqi and Shengmen are too yin to win people. Escape and close the door and get the land. The demon frowned, "It's not timely!" …… Brother Fairy, you have to hurry up, otherwise it will be dangerous when it's too late! ”

At this moment, Xue Shao had just stepped on the land ground of Banzhu. After a long journey, he had just landed, and he felt a little unsteady on his feet.

"Xue Gong, it can only be so fast, I hope there is no mistake." Helian Guchuan said, "Please follow me." ”

Xue Shao nodded, "We must catch up before dawn, hurry up!" ”

The group left the shore and quickly left, running into a wood. Helian Guchuan was obviously quite familiar with this area, and he took Xue Shao and the others through the woods quickly, walking for most of the hour without stopping, and finally came to a hidden beachhead overgrown with reeds.

Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief, he was familiar with this place, and he had sailed here more than once before to fish for bass.

In this way, it is not far from Luoyang!

Helian Guchuan whistled, and more than twenty fishing boats slid out of the reeds like phantoms.

"I've wronged you, only such a fishing boat is hidden enough." Helian Guchuan said, "At dawn, the fishermen of Luoshui will return to the city to sell fish, and everyone on the boat will be disguised as fishermen." The brothers of Hongmen will give you a boat and take you directly to the vicinity of the fish shop dock in Nanshi. When you get there, someone will come to meet you, so just grab the fish and follow them! ”

Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's well arranged." But I must see Gongren and Guo Yuanzhen for the first time! ”

"Xue Gong rest assured, Guo Shilang has already arranged it - please board the boat!"

Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh, that stupid person pretended to do business, and he was still so reliable!

Everyone boarded the boat one after another, and Xue Shao took a boat with Zhao Yijie and Helian Guchuan. After boarding the boat, everyone began to change clothes and makeup, and they were very busy. Xue Shao is a master in this regard, and after a toss, Helian Guchuan and Zhao Yijie almost didn't know him when they faced each other.

There was actually fresh fish on board, apparently just caught from the river. Xue Shao had to admire Helian Guchuan's meticulousness.

The skills of Hongmen's people driving boats are absolutely the best in the world, and the small fishing boats are also extremely fast, and more than 20 fishing boats are naturally scattered, mixed with some other Luoyang fishing boats on the river, without any sense of disobedience.

At dawn, Xue Shao's ship was the first to arrive in Luoyang. After some inspection, they entered the fishing house.

There are already a lot of fishing boats and peddlers and pawns coming and going. The fresh fish eaten by hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City every day is almost all sent out from here at this time, and you can imagine how big this scene is now.

Xue Shao and these people were mixed in the crowd, and they were really not eye-catching.

But their boat had just docked, and immediately a man dressed as a merchant with a few entourages rushed at them: "Boatman, can there be a perch?" ”

"Yes!"

"Come here, I want it!"

Xue Shao was happy when he heard the voice, and the big fool came out!

When the boat docked, Xue Shao and others picked up a basket of fresh perch and went ashore in a decent manner. Guo Yuanzhen also deliberately stepped forward to pick up fat and thin for a while, and then slapped Xue Shao's buttocks, "Ouch, what a strong man, it's so condescending to be a fisherman, why don't you come and do things with me?" ”

"Coincidentally, that's exactly what I mean." Xue Shao also replied decently, "I have a family heirloom wolverine mace, and I promise that you can't survive or die!" ”

"Hehe, don't get excited, don't get excited, I'm talking about fun!" Guo Yuanzhen coughed dryly, "Come with me, hurry up, don't delay the business in my store!" ”

Xue Shao's boat of six people followed Guo Yuanzhen with three baskets of fish. They didn't go far before they entered the back door of a wine shop in Nanshi, and as soon as the door was closed, Xue Shao threw a fish basket and twisted Guo Yuanzhen to the ground.

"You idiot, slap me in the ass all the way and see if I don't kill you!"

"Hey, hey, haha, spare your life! …… It's important to get down to business, Gong Ren and Xiao Gongzi are waiting for you inside! ”

"Little boy?"

"Dingguo!"

"Why is he here?" Xue Shao was surprised, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Helian Guchuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xue Gong, this is Hongmen's recent property, and it is also Hongmen's latest secret stronghold in Luoyang. It's absolutely safe, and Xue Gong, the guy in the store, also knows him. ”

As he was talking, a few guys came over, and Xue Shao's eyes lit up when he saw it, Zhao Qi, the master of the Hongmen Gate, and the people among the eighteen ospreys.

"Hard work brothers." Xue Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Lead me to see Gong Ren!" ”

Helian Guchuan took Xue Shao and the others into the kitchen, and with the help of several people, they moved the huge water tank away, and lifted the floor to reveal a hole in the ground, and there were stairs below.

As soon as Xue Shao walked down, a voice came from inside, "Daddy! ”

Hearing this, all of Xue Shao's fatigue from the journey was almost gone, and he hurriedly ran forward, rushed over as if a boy was flying, and threw himself into Xue Shao's arms.

"Hahahaha, Dingguo, you have grown so big!" Xue Shao was overjoyed, and kissed him fiercely on the face.

"Daddy, it's been a long time since I've seen you, woo!" Xue Dingguo hugged Xue Shao and cried vigorously.

"Good boy, don't cry, let your master know that he will have to scold you." Xue Shao wiped his tears for him and said, "Let Daddy talk to his uncles about something first, and then talk to you later?" ”

"Good!" Xue Dingguo was very obedient and stood aside.

On Gongren stepped forward at this time, "I've seen Xue Gong." ”

Seeing that the two of them were together, Xue Shao already understood most of them in his heart, and only said: "On the general, we are only talking about business now." Guo Yuanzhen, Zhao Yijie, come here. Others, take my son outside to get the wind out. ”

"Yes!"

The underground secret room is not large, only sitting and simple tea, and it is thought to be an emergency hiding and secret discussion place for the senior leaders of Hongmen.

"Be concise and make a long story short." Xue Shao said, "Guo Yuanzhen, how is the situation now?" ”

"Very nervous. I suspect that Donggong and Wu Sansi may make a move at any time. Guo Yuanzhen said, "Although the imperial court has not yet received the official official letter from you, many people already know the news of your victory, which is forcing them to jump over the wall in a hurry." ”

"Then it has to be as soon as possible." Xue Shao said, "Tell me about your plan." ”

"Wait a minute!" On Gongren said suddenly, "Xue Gong, I want to ask, do you want to rebel?" ”

Xue Shao looked at Guo Yuanzhen curiously, "You haven't told him yet?" ”

"You're not here, how can you say it?" Guo Yuanzhen spread his hands, "If I repeatedly state that we are not plotting rebellion, it will be difficult for him to believe it!" Therefore I only told him that it was you who were to make secret counsel with him. ”

"I thought that Xue Gong wanted to tell me about the moon slave." On Gong Ren said calmly.

Xue Shao said: "I don't want to talk about the matter of the moon slave now. I'll just tell you one principle, the moon slave is doing well now, and letting her know too many things will only hurt her. I don't agree with you and the Moon Nu and Dingguo officially recognizing each other, but I allow you to get close to them in other ways. ”

On Gongren hugged his fists and bowed, "On a certain courage, I want to accept the country as a righteous son, and I also ask Xue Gong to complete it!" ”

"......" Xue Shao was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Thank you Xue Gong!" Gong Ren was so excited that he fell to the ground.

"On the general, please get up." Xue Shao stretched out his hand to help him, thinking that it was not easy to talk about Gong Ren. The whole family was killed, and he was alone in a foreign land. The longing and attachment in his heart for his relatives may not be understood by ordinary people.

"Xie Xue Gong ......" Gong Ren stood up, turned his head and quietly wiped his eyes.

"As for the general, I can tell you unequivocally that we are not plotting rebellion. On the contrary, we are preventing others from rebelling. Xue Shao said, "Presumably, these days, you should have heard some unusual rumors. ”

"Xue Gong, you don't have to explain." On Gongren said, "What should I do, give the order!" ”

"Guo Yuanzhen, let's go."

"Huh?" Guo Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment, and laughed dryly, "Don't be in such a hurry to report me, right?" …… cough, according to Yao Yuanchong's plan, Xue Gong could only lead a part of the people with excellent water ability to dive into the Yixian Hall of the West Crossing City from the Forbidden River Waterway, and first meet Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping. Then find a way to break through the prison guards and go straight to Beiya, so that Gong Ren can seize the power of the Yulin guards. Outside the palace, I will summon the general of the army, Ko Chongyu, in the name of Xia Guan, to come to the official office to discuss matters, and then I will take him down and take away his talisman, and then go to the Luoshui military camp to take over the military power. As for the courtiers, there will be Yao Yuanchong who will see the opportunity to act. ”

"The army is in and out of the palace, and the design is comprehensive, but the risk is still very large." Xue Shao frowned, "The biggest difficulty is whether Gong Ren can regain the power of the Yulin Army. Also, most of the generals of the Luoshui army are no longer our people. Koji Chongyu has disappeared for too long, and there will be suspicions, and once you make a mistake, there will be no place to bury you. ”

"The risk is definitely not small, but it's not the first time we've fought side by side, I'm afraid he's a bird! As long as you can meet the God Emperor as soon as possible, all risks are no longer risks. Guo Yuanzhen said, "So, the key is still you!" ”

"Wait a minute!" On Gongren suddenly shouted, and then looked embarrassed, "Xue Gong, I'...... I can't swim! ”
