Chapter 112

September 14, the sun was shining.

Gu Qing sat in front of a stall in the capital, preparing to pinch his nose and try bean juice, when suddenly two people sat down in front of him.

One was Wood Daoist, and the other was Master Gusong.

"You killed Gu Qingfeng?"

Wood Daoist asked sternly.

"Is there a problem?"

Gu Qing hurriedly greeted, letting the boss send two more bowls of bean juice, placing them in front of Wood Daoist and Master Gusong. This hospitable appearance made Master Gusong's face turn green.

... To be honest, Master Gusong was still thinking about being defeated by Gu Qing with one sword. Originally, he wanted to find a way to get back at him, but after Gu Qing directly wanted to fight Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, his thoughts faded.

Master Gusong couldn't beat either of these two people.

"Do you know how important the Quanzhen Sect led by Gu Qingfeng is to our Daoist gate?"

Wood Daoist said.

Gu Qingfeng was simply the face of the Daoist gate!

"Then do you know that Gu Qingfeng is preparing to assassinate the Emperor?"

Gu Qing leaned over and whispered.

Wood Daoist and Master Gusong's expressions changed instantly. This was a huge matter.

"Don't panic."

Gu Qing let Wood Daoist and Master Gusong stabilize, saying, "Drink, drink."

Wood Daoist and Master Gusong each picked up the bean juice, pinched their noses, and took a sip to stabilize their emotions, then looked at Gu Qing.

"Lu Xiaofeng is collecting specific clues, and there will be results soon."

Gu Qing said.

Last night, after killing Gu Qingfeng, Ye Gucheng finally broke through his acupoints and went down the mountain by himself, leaving Monk Shentong at Bai Yun Temple. Lu Xiaofeng had already been suspicious of Monk Shentong and heard the news about Prince Pingnan, so he naturally went to investigate.

Wood Daoist and Master Gusong's expressions were extremely solemn.

If Gu Qingfeng really had such a rebellious plan, Wood Daoist could only say it was well killed; this was cleaning up the sect for the Daoist gate.

"Wood Daoist."

Gu Qing suddenly said, "Gu Qingfeng is already dead, so the position of the Quanzhen Sect leader is vacant. Do you want to be the Quanzhen Sect leader?"

Wood Daoist suddenly looked at Gu Qing.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, ruling the Northern Daoist sect—this is much more majestic than being the leader of Wudang Mountain."

Gu Qing said seriously.

Among the bosses in Lu Xiaofeng Legend, Wood Daoist was the one with the deepest schemes, almost playing Lu Xiaofeng completely in the palm of his hand. It was just that at the end, he didn't guard against his own daughter and was assassinated by Ye Xue.

Wood Daoist's eyes were almost stagnant at this moment.

"Think about it carefully."

Gu Qing said affirmatively, "If nothing unexpected happens, the current Emperor will soon look for me. I will win the right to speak in front of the Emperor. As long as you are willing, I will let the Emperor grant Bai Yun Temple to you!"

Wood Daoist thought deeply.

The former Wood Daoist once had the possibility of becoming the leader of Wudang, but because of personal feelings, he was forced to become an elder wandering everywhere. The hatred accumulated in his heart over the years made Wood Daoist always brewing an action, an action aimed at Wudang's revenge.

Wood Daoist wanted to take everything back.

But now, a more prominent identity was placed in front of Wood Daoist.

Daoist Northern Sect Leader.

Suddenly, the sound of hoofbeats came from the street. Wood Daoist looked over and saw that more than two hundred riders had come to the side of the street, galloping on the streets of the capital. The sound of horse whips and whistles mixed together. The commoners on the side retreated one after another, and the large group of people rushed straight to Gu Qing and the others, only then pulling the horses to a stop. The dust raised by these people also covered half the street.

Wei Ziyun on the horse came down and said something in front of Gu Qing. Gu Qing then happily followed Wei Ziyun away. After these people left, Wood Daoist shook his head, actually not noticing at all what Gu Qing said to that Xiaoxiang swordsman Wei Ziyun.

Wood Daoist's heart was all on this Quanzhen leader position. Suddenly coming back to his senses, he didn't even realize he had finished the bean juice in the bowl.

September 14, sunny, nothing happened in the capital.

September 15, dusk, the sunset was beautiful.

The time for the decisive battle was getting closer and closer, and the news of the decisive battle at the Forbidden Peak had spread early. It was just that the Jianghu knights were at a loss as to how to enter and watch the battle. It was at this dusk that the Forbidden City gates suddenly opened wide. Wei Ziyun, one of the four great guards, stood in front of the Forbidden City and announced that any Jianghu people who wanted to watch the battle could enter the imperial city to watch as long as they wrote down their identities and put down their weapons.

Gongsun Lan, Xue Bing, Ouyang Qing, Shangguan Feiyan, and Shangguan Xue'er only then shed their disguises at this time, stood in front of the Forbidden City, wrote down their identities, handed over their weapons and hidden weapons, and were about to inquire about Gu Qing's news when they heard Master Gusong asking Wei Ziyun.

Wei Ziyun was a close guard by the Emperor's side. The series of schemes of the Prince Pingnan Fu were all to avoid Wei Ziyun and others. At this time, hearing Master Gusong's inquiry, with Wood Daoist listening, he whispered: "Gu Qing is very well, you don't need to worry."

"Did the Emperor not make things difficult for Gu Qing?"

Wood Daoist seemed to be concerned about Gu Qing.

"The Emperor values Gu Qing too much."

!

Wei Ziyun said: "Since the Emperor met Gu Qing yesterday, he has been with Gu Qing all the time, listening to Gu Qing say things like 【tax collection】, 【customs】, 【triangular trade】, and then talking about political gains and losses. The Emperor listened intently and also let the eunuchs record all this. Even last night, the Emperor slept in the same bed with Gu Qing."

Wood Daoist felt dizzy listening to this. Discussing state affairs in front of the Emperor?

"Did the Emperor believe everything Gu Qing said?"

"I don't know, but the Emperor seems quite interested in that Australia with the gold mountain."

Wei Ziyun talked with Wood Daoist for a while.

Wood Daoist nodded repeatedly, knowing that Gu Qing had indeed won the right to speak in front of the Emperor as he said. Just like opening the palace gates at this time, letting the Jianghu knights who wanted to watch the battle come to the Forbidden City to watch, were all requested by Gu Qing and allowed by the Emperor.

Allowing Wood Daoist to become the Quanzhen Sect leader was not an empty promise.

The knights who came to the Forbidden City heard these words and naturally felt grateful to Gu Qing, which also allowed Gu Qing to collect a wave of merit.

While walking, everyone arrived in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony... The Hall of Supreme Harmony in history was a name only from the Qing Dynasty. However, in Lu Xiaofeng Legend, when Gongsun Lan sold Lu Xiaofeng sugar-roasted chestnuts, there were also Qing Dynasty novels like "Flowers in the Mirror," so this Hall of Supreme Harmony was not surprising.

Wood Daoist and others who arrived here saw Lu Xiaofeng was already here early. After seeing everyone, he nodded and greeted them.

"Big nephew, why are you here?"

Shangguan Xue'er asked in surprise.

They could be considered the first batch of people to enter. How could Lu Xiaofeng be earlier than them?

"Because I didn't disappoint Hero Gu's expectations."

Lu Xiaofeng said depressedly.

After Monk Shentong was left behind, Lu Xiaofeng began tracking and solving the case, finally catching the evidence of Prince Pingnan's intention to rebel, and also brought the Prince Pingnan's heir, who looked exactly like the current Emperor, into the palace, exposing Chief Wang.

This was obviously a great achievement, a top-notch thing in the world to show off. As a result, the Emperor said "Sure enough, you didn't disappoint Gu Qing's expectations," and then said Gu Qing already knew, just letting Lu Xiaofeng supplement some clues.

This made Lu Xiaofeng depressed. He worked hard to run a circle and became a runner for Gu Qing.

Shangguan Xue'er laughed after hearing it and said: "We all know that you will always be one step slower than my master."

Lu Xiaofeng was even more unhappy. Seeing Xue Bing on the side, he wanted to say a few words, but felt that there was a gap between him and Xue Bing.

Going to talk would only add to the awkwardness.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed silently in his heart and got up to find Ximen Chuixue.

Before he knew it, the sunset was setting, and the moon was like water.

The time for the decisive battle was near.
