The old east wind comes to dream

Chapter 123

Liu Zan's visit, of course, was in vain.The person who looked like Li Dai seemed to appear out of thin air, and then disappeared out of thin air, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

For some reason, an extremely bad premonition arose in Liu Zan's heart at this moment.After all, he has been hiding in the dark all year round and is used to being a hunter. In this situation, in a blink of an eye, he thought of a possibility—tune the tiger away from the mountain!

Immediately, a layer of coolness floated on Liu Zan's back, in this summer, it was as if he was in an ice cave.

Not daring to delay any longer, Liu Zan quickly turned his horse's head and galloped towards the guest.

He went straight to the backyard of Yougu Lai, and sure enough, he didn't see Gu Zizhan's carriage.Even Dong Gongwei of the Xiaofeng Camp who stayed behind to protect Gu Zizhan disappeared without a trace.

He hurriedly called the shopkeeper to inquire, but Gu Zizhan and his party had never had any customers!

In an instant, Liu Zan stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.

He Youyou couldn't believe it, but he also knew that the search for Gu Zizhan must not be done with great fanfare.He ordered the Dong Gongwei beside him to check on Gu Zizhan's necessary road, but found no signs.Liu Zan knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he ordered Dong Gongwei to continue his low-key search. He rode his horse and ran all the way back to the palace alone.

Behind him, the scorching sun at noon suddenly began to envelop a layer of haze from all around.

He could have gone to look for Gu Zizhan together, but subconsciously, Liu Zan decided that the first thing he had to do was to tell Chu Lan.

After entering the palace, Liu Zan didn't dare to show his impatience, but with a stomach full of anxiety, he suppressed his expression and walked back to the East Palace unhurriedly.

At this time, Chu Lan was in the full bedroom, accompanying the queen who came to visit her sick.It was full of the hearts and minds of all the nobles in the palace. When Gu Zizhan was out of the palace to handle errands, Emperor Tianshun could only take over the government, and only the queen came first.Yixu was also summoned, and was taking Manman's pulse in the hall.

Liu Zan couldn't wait, found Jianwei, and quietly invited Chu Lan out.

Today's Chu Lan, for some reason, felt restless ever since Gu Zizhan left the palace.She originally thought that Xu was upset because of Man Man's illness, but after seeing Liu Zan, this unsteady emotion immediately surged.Immediately, Chu Lan's heart was also clouded.

Before Liu Zan could speak, Chu Lan asked first, "Where's Zizhan? Why didn't she come back together?"

Liu Zan knelt down suddenly, "Madam, the Lord is gone!"

Afterwards, Liu Zan confessed to Chu Lan what happened today.

When he learned that Gu Zizhan hadn't come to have any guests, he didn't see the secret sign left by Xiaofengying on the street.Chu Lan's face was as cold as a pool of cold, she was already extremely anxious, and she had to force herself to calm down.

At this time, the sky became more and more gloomy.The originally radiant sun seemed to be being swallowed up by a black shadow coming from nowhere.

Outside the hall, there was a commotion mixed with exclamations from the palace people.

"This is, greedy wolf swallowing the sun!"

Blocks of black shadows swayed, and in the setting sun that was slowly being swallowed, Chu Lan's face was pale.

Gu Zizhan was awakened by a sharp pain.There were bursts of throbbing pain in the back of the head and neck, as if he had been hit hard by someone.

She slowly opened her eyes, only to find that the surroundings were dark and she couldn't see anything.She realized instantly that she was blindfolded and brought to this place.

She didn't know if anyone around her was watching her, she didn't dare to move her limbs at all, and tried to breathe as steadily as possible, and began to think about the situation she was in.

Under Gu Zizhan's body, the mattress was dry but a little hard, and a faint aloes fragrance could be vaguely smelled.The smell was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had smelled it.

The surroundings were quiet, and Gu Zizhan listened with bated breath for a long time, but he didn't hear a sound. It seemed that she was the only one here.

But she didn't dare to be careless, she still maintained a straight posture, not daring to move.

Suddenly, a subtle sound of door hinges turning came to her ears.Then, there were two footsteps, one in front and one in the back, approaching her from far and near.

Gu Zizhan's heart suddenly tightened.

The two footsteps stopped in front of her.Then, eyes fell on her.For a moment, Gu Zizhan only felt as if he was a prey bound to the chopping board, a ferocious predator was sizing her up, ready to kill her with one blow at any time.

Gu Zizhan couldn't bear it any longer, his inner strength gathered into the sea of ​​energy, and he was about to sit up suddenly.

However, as soon as she got lucky, there were boundless and severe pains coming from her limbs and bones.She gasped heavily, but couldn't move.

Her acupuncture points were sealed.

The person beside the bed watched her movements and laughed softly.

"His Royal Highness, why are you doing this? No matter how hard you struggle, you are just asking for trouble."

Gu Zizhan's eyes widened suddenly, it was him!

What followed was endless doubts and fears welling up deep in my heart.

Why is he?

Greedy wolf devours the sun, since ancient times it means unknown.Daoist Yuan Hui used this to deceive Cheng Wu and Gu Quan, but he never thought that such a day would really come.

Emperor Tianshun happened to come to see Manman, and Chu Lan hurriedly told him about it. Although he didn't elaborate on it, Emperor Tianshun realized immediately that someone was going to take advantage of this celestial phenomenon to cause chaos.

When the red sun began to be shrouded in black mist, the gates of the palace were immediately closed.Lian Yongping led the Dragon Knights, and Liu Zan ordered his deputy to lead the Xiaofeng Camp to protect the entire palace.

Emperor Tianshun didn't want Chu Lan to take the risk himself, but seeing the firmness in her eyes, he let out a long sigh and asked her to take Liu Zan out of the palace to find Gu Zizhan himself.

Accompanying Chu Lan out of the palace were Liu Mulan and a group of female soldiers from the Phoenix Nirvana Army.

It seems to indicate that the female soldiers led by Gu Zizhan, the Phoenix Nirvana began with her, and her Nirvana will also be guarded by this sonorous Phoenix Nirvana Army.They are always connected.

Searched all the places where Gu Zizhan might go, but still found nothing.Chu Lan looked up at the increasingly drowsy sky, and the Lieyang distance was completely swallowed up, leaving less than one-third of it.

She became more and more anxious, but at the same time there was a trace of firmness.

This determination stems from Chu Lan's trust in Gu Zizhan.Her Cheng'er, no matter what the situation, would never abandon her!

However, when the sun was about to be completely swallowed and the darkness was about to cover everything, there was still no news from Gu Zizhan.

Despair gradually rose in Chu Lan's heart.

Zizhan, where are you?

After the visitor spoke, Gu Zizhan also forced himself to calm down.

What is the other party's purpose? Thinking of this person's identity, Gu Zizhan already had a vague guess in his heart.After regaining his composure, there was a faint smile on Gu Zizhan's lips.

"Master Huang Xuan, long time no see."

Loud laughter rang in her ears, and then, the black cloth over her eyes was ripped off.

Gu Zizhan was dazzled by the candles lit in the room, blinked a few times, and looked at the two people in front of him.The aloes fragrance that fills the room here is the same as when Huang Xuan went to the palace to clean up Cheng Wu's soul for her.And this agarwood is Buddha incense, and with the slightly crude furnishings in this room, the place where she is being locked up now should be a meditation room.

Gu Zizhan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to the person behind Huang Xuan, "Master, I never thought that you would be involved in this matter."

Behind Huang Xuan's hideous smiling face flickered by the candlelight was the much thinner Daoist Yuanxu.

Gu Zizhan thought for a while, and asked them both, "So, you brought me to avenge Cheng Wu?" Then, she shook her head and denied it herself: "No. You two believe in the destiny, so naturally You won't ruin Ziwei's destiny for someone whose fate is cut off, otherwise, Master Huang Xuan didn't need to save me last time. Let me think about it, you should come here this time for the throne."

"I can't guess Master Huang Xuan's mind, but I think Master's mind should be the same as that of your junior sister. He wants to destroy Dazhao and cut off Gu's bloodline. It's a pity that Cheng Wu's fate is evil, and he has only a touch of divine consciousness for many years. Existence, if I don't get rid of him, Ziwei's destiny will not really merge with me."

"Besides, he is more than ruthless but not strategic enough. To put it bluntly, he has little luck and no brains. Ziwei's fate is given to him, but it is useless. He can cause disasters for a while, but there are many smart people among the Gu family. , On the contrary, it is convenient to unite the hearts of the people and overthrow the tyranny/government. Therefore, Cheng Wu is not enough to make the Gu family die."

Gu Zizhan looked at Daoist Yuan Xu, and said with a smile: "The above should be the reasons given by Master Huang Xuan to make you willingly give up the parent-child spiritual consciousness."

Suddenly, Taoist Priest Yuan Xu's face became very ugly.

Afterwards, without waiting for him to speak, Gu Zizhan turned to Huang Xuan and continued, "So, there must be someone else who will replace me in the end. And this one is a person who is used to hiding. The superficial generosity is actually just for As for himself, when he is firmly seated in this position, he will start to mutilate all those clansmen who might threaten him, and Dazhao's fate will naturally decline, and his destruction is inevitable."

"At the same time, his status will definitely not be low, otherwise, for so many years, he would not have protected you so safely, Master Huang Xuan. In addition, there is the most important point. I was not wary of Master Huang Xuan before, if I wait Wouldn't it be safer to inherit the throne before doing it? You are so anxious, could it be that person, time is running out?"

"According to this way of thinking, I already have a candidate in my heart." A smile appeared on Gu Zizhan's pale face, but there was a pain in his heart.

At this point, she looked at Taoist Priest Yuan Xu and clicked twice. "Master is really an extraordinary person, he is willing to use the lives of his parents and children as a stepping stone for others."

Looking at Huang Xuan again, "Master Huang Xuan, although you believe in the destiny, you really have courage to destroy yourself with Ziwei's fate."

What she said was specifically based on what the two of them cared most about.It's ridiculous to think about it, these two people and Daoist Yuan Hui both hold the destiny at the top, and they all regard the illusory destiny as the premise of everything.If it were someone who didn't believe this, he would have cut Gu Zizhan with a single knife, and there would be no such complicated twists and turns.After all, he drew a cage for himself, but Yelang is arrogant.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Taoist Priest Yuan Xu's face showed obvious anger.Huang Xuan was still smiling, but the smile became more ferocious and distorted.

Daoist Yuanxu couldn't hold his breath for a while, and shouted: "Rebel, presumptuous! Keep your mouth shut!"

Gu Zizhan squinted at him, "I think it's because of your presumptuousness to rob the prince of the dynasty!"

Huang Xuan stopped Daoist Yuan Xu who was still about to speak, and looked at Gu Zizhan coldly, "His Royal Highness, the eloquent tongue, I admire the old Taoist. But don't forget, you are just fish on the board right now, what should we do?" , but there is no room for you to speak."

"Winner and loser, you should accept your fate."

Gu Zizhan's palms were sweaty.No matter how calm she was, the panic in her heart could not be eliminated.As Huang Xuan said, she is under the control of others now, even if she guesses the other party's purpose, she cannot pass the news on, let alone escape.The top priority is that she must find a way to unlock the sealed acupuncture points on her body, and she must have the power to protect herself.

Seeing that Gu Zizhan didn't say any more, Huang Xuan felt a little more at ease.He looked at Daoist Yuanxu, "You stay here, watch her. I'll go out and have a look, and when she arrives, we can start."

Before leaving, looking at Gu Zizhan again, Huang Xuan smiled strangely. "One more thing, His Highness the Crown Prince was wrong. There is only one reason why the old Taoist chose to do it today, so I might as well tell you. Hahahaha, the time has come for greedy wolves. This time, you can't escape!"

Gu Zizhan's heart tightened, and his scalp became numb.

Unexpectedly, there really is such a destiny!Endless boredom welled up in her heart, and suddenly, she developed a deep disgust for the theory of celestial phenomena and fate.

The feeling of being forced by such an irresistible force is really too bad.
