Chapter 6 (Revised)
Although he accepted Lian Zong's kindness, Gu Fang had no intention of leaving the National Master Tower.Firstly, he knew that his identity was embarrassing, and secondly, he was also afraid of encountering some things that he should not know.
Originally, Emperor Kaiyuan and the others kept instigating Gu Fang to go outside the National Teacher Tower, but when they heard Gu Fang's concerns, they stopped mentioning it.
Emperor Kaiyuan supported his beard, thinking that there would always be a chance to let his apprentice go out, and he was not in a hurry at this moment, it would be bad if Gu Fang became rebellious.
It's a pity that even though Gu Fang and Emperor Kaiyuan tacitly suppressed the "going out" matter, the trouble did come up on its own initiative.
Someone sneaked in while the guards stationed at the National Teacher Tower were changing shifts at night.
Gu Fang happened to be at the star observatory at that time, and was going to ask his master to explain some basic knowledge about the stars to him.One of him and Emperor Kaiyuan worked hard in learning, and the other worked hard in teaching.When both of them were concentrating, King Jin and King Yan floated up from under the National Teacher Tower together.
"Someone has come in." Prince Jin reminded Gu Fang seriously, but unfortunately he couldn't hide the hidden smile in his eyes.
"Cough." Prince Jin coughed, knowing that his flaws had been exposed, and then said earnestly to Gu Fang who was full of helplessness: "Fang'er, although this person is powerful, with your current ability, it is still enough to deal with him. "
As soon as Gu Fang heard this, he knew it was wrong.He looked at Emperor Kaiyuan who showed approval, and knew that Emperor Kaiyuan and the others wanted to take this opportunity to let him exercise.
However, Gu Fang has his own worries.How could a person who had the guts to sneak into the National Master Tower to commit crimes be an ordinary person.If he really subdues that person by then, how should he explain the difference to Lian Zong?
Should he tell Lian Zong that he can see ghosts and that he learned his boxing skills from Emperor Kaiyuan?
Gu Fang was silent for a while, and decided to go and see the infiltrator's situation before making a judgment.
Emperor Kaiyuan, King Jin, and King Yan followed Gu Fang after looking at each other.
While following behind Gu Fang, Emperor Kaiyuan thought, Gu Fang, the child, has grown up after all, and he has considered more comprehensive things than before.
Relying on Emperor Kaiyuan's reminder, Gu Fang waited for the infiltrator outside his study.
He hid aside with bated breath, and saw the infiltrator in black night clothes enter the study room after looking left and right twice.
"Da da da."
That person's footsteps were very light, and it could even be said to be inaudible. It was obvious that this was someone with extraordinary skills.
Gu Fang frowned, he couldn't figure out how a person like him who has no real power deserves to be treated like this by others?
He carefully poked a hole in the paper door of the study.Then I saw the infiltrator take out something similar to an envelope from his arms and put it under a few books on my desk.After all this was done, the infiltrator took out a cloth and wiped it where he had touched it.
Then, the intruder pushed open the window of the study and jumped down.
Gu Fang opened the door of the study and walked in after confirming it was safe.He walked quickly to the desk, stroked the few books on it aside, and picked up the letter.
And on the envelope, there were four big characters of "Prince's Personal Invitation" that made his heart skip a beat!
Gu Fang staggered a step, and barely stabilized his body by holding on to the desk.
These days, Emperor Kaiyuan not only taught him calligraphy, boxing and stargazing, but also some politics.So Gu Fang was keenly aware that this incident was unusual, it was to make him unable to survive under Lian Zong's hands.
"Such a vicious strategy..." Emperor Kaiyuan, who was at the side, obviously also saw the words on the envelope.As a person who founded the Dayao Dynasty, how could he not know what kind of consciousness it represented.
The two of them, the master and the apprentice, were feeling over there.Lord Yan reminded them to look out the window.
Gu Fang squeezed the envelope and walked to the window with big strides. When he looked down, he broke out in a cold sweat.
It turned out that the tower of the National Teacher had already been surrounded by the guards in the palace.Each guard held a handle in his hand, and the bright fire light illuminated each guard's serious face.
Lian Zong, on the other hand, stood among the guards and listened to the latest news from a man who looked like a commander.
"Your Majesty, what I said is true." Wang Cheng, the commander of the imperial army, spoke earnestly to Lian Zong.It's a pity that his sincerity seems very false to Lian Heng.
Lian Heng, who was standing behind Lian Zong, sneered, and said sarcastically to Wang Cheng: "Commander Wang, it is a serious crime to frame the national teacher!"
"My lord! Everything my subordinates said is true!" Wang Cheng confronted Lian Heng tit for tat.He didn't seem to be afraid of the prince at all.
Lian Heng was unhappy for a moment, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to argue with Wang Cheng.
But before he could reach Wang Cheng, he was stopped by his brother Huang.
"Enough." Lian Zong squinted his eyes, his sharp eyes flicked across Wang Cheng's body, making Wang Cheng break out in a cold sweat.
After a long time, Lian Zong looked away.At this time, he happened to see Gu Fang standing at the window on the third floor of the National Teacher Tower from the corner of his eye.
This is interesting.Lian Zong couldn't help laughing.
Gu Fang also noticed that Lian Zong saw him.He took a deep breath and decided to strike first.
He put the envelope in the dark compartment of the study, then stabilized his mind, and walked down the majestic and majestic National Teacher Tower with firm steps.
Emperor Kaiyuan appreciated Gu Fang's courage very much. After he, King Jin and King Yan smiled at each other, he suddenly felt that the situation was not so embarrassing.
Gu Fang let out a breath, and opened the gate of the National Teacher Tower with both arms at the same time.
The "squeak" door opening alarmed everyone outside the National Teacher Tower except Lian Zong.
Lian Heng made an exaggerated move to hide behind Lian Zong, apparently startled by Gu Fang's sudden appearance.
The same is true for Wang Cheng, he did not expect the national teacher to show up suddenly.Does this mean that the National Teacher has insight into their plan?
Thinking of this, beads of sweat dripped from Wang Cheng's forehead.
"I don't know what your Majesty's late-night visit is about?" Gu Fang looked straight at Lian Zong, without showing the slightest intention.
"It's nothing." Lian Zong withdrew his meaningful gaze from Wang Cheng, and then said quite easily, "It's just that someone reported that the national teacher was involved with the deposed prince, and the intention was to harm me, so I came here to take a look." .”
Although Lian Zong said so, his tone was as casual as possible.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Cheng raised his voice suddenly, and he said desperately, "If the national teacher is really involved with the deposed prince, the plot must be serious. Please enter the tower to find out the truth for your majesty."
Wang Cheng knew from Lian Zong's attitude that what happened tonight could not go according to their plan.So he had to do his best to make things go according to their plan.
but……
Wang Cheng glanced at Gu Fang bitterly, thinking that this person was indeed not on the same side as His Highness the Crown Prince.This trial can be regarded as somewhat useful.
Facing Wang Cheng's accusation, Gu Fanghao tidied up the messy hem of his clothes without looking flustered at all.
He glanced at Lian Zong, who was looking up at the towering National Teacher Tower, and felt that His Majesty the Emperor was more wise than he showed?
"Wang Cheng, do you know that the National Master Pagoda is where the Royal Ancestral Hall is located?" Lian Zong cast his eyes on Wang Cheng, with a smile on his lips, and said in a relaxed tone, "If you disturb the ancestors of the royal family, you can bear the crime!"
Gu Fang suddenly felt that there was something in Lian Zong's words, but he couldn't find a clue for a while, so he had to put it down first, and wait until the difficulties in front of him were over.
"Your Majesty knows!" Wang Cheng knelt on his knees with a "plop", "For His Majesty's safety, I, as the commander of the imperial army, naturally have a duty to do so!"
Wang Cheng knew that there was no way out, so he could only try his best to push the plan forward.
Lian Zong clenched his fists tightly, and a burst of anger suddenly surged in his heart.
Since Wang Cheng wanted to enter the National Master Tower so much, then he would make it happen.
"Okay, I'll let you go into the National Teacher Tower." Lian Zong stared at Wang Cheng coldly, "If you can't find anything, Wang Cheng, do you know what it means?"
"Yes." Wang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.He stood up and looked at Gu Fang contemptuously, thinking that even if you were prepared, you would never guess the real mystery.
it's a pity.
Gu Fang didn't care about Wang Cheng's eyes at all.He calmly took two steps towards Lian Heng, and gave Wang Cheng and his men the route to enter the National Teacher Tower.
"The national teacher and I should also go and have a look." Lian Zong said suddenly.
"Yes." Gu Fang agreed without any hesitation.
As soon as he entered the National Teacher Tower, Gu Fang saw Wang Cheng leading his men straight to the third floor.
He smiled coldly, thinking that this Wang Cheng was really a fool, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
"The national teacher doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all." Lian Zong was talking to Gu Fang while walking slowly on the stairs.
"I haven't done anything, why worry about it." Gu Fang's voice was as calm as ever. He looked at Wang Cheng, who was searching the study in his senior year, and asked, "If Commander Wang can't find anything, what will His Majesty plan to do?" Sample?"
"People, you have to be responsible for your own actions." Lian Zong smiled. He stood on the third floor with his hands behind his back, and he seemed to believe that all this was nothing more than Gu Fang.
Gu Fang thought for a while, but suppressed the idea of asking Lian Zong why he trusted him, then silently looked away.
After a while, Lian Heng came up with a smile that meant that the world would not be chaotic: "Oh, brother, it seems that Commander Wang really didn't find anything."
As soon as he said that, Wang Cheng, who was already flustered, collapsed on the ground in an instant.
Wang Cheng gritted his teeth and stood up, knelt down in front of Lian Zong with a "plop", "Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to allow you to search up!" He also kowtowed heavily to Lian Zong several times.
Gu Fang looked at Wang Cheng's last breath with cold eyes, neither moved nor softened.He knew from a young age that if he wanted to save his life, he had to completely destroy the enemy's schemes and make them lose all hope!
"Since Commander Wang is so sure, His Majesty should agree to his request." Gu Fang said coolly aside, adding fuel to the matter, "But if Commander Wang is disturbed..." He wanted to say something He stopped, and finally smiled faintly: "There is no way for my teacher to appease you."
"You!" Wang Cheng stared at Gu Fang fiercely, with a stern light in his eyes.
Gu Fang wasn't afraid of him at all.Instead, he chuckled lightly at Wang Cheng.He couldn't help thinking, why is this commander of the forbidden army so interesting?
"National teacher be careful." Lian Zong glanced at Gu Fang, and then said lightly to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, do you know where the national teacher's tower is?"
"I know." Wang Cheng's face froze, and he lowered his head.Seeing his stubborn appearance, it seemed that even if he didn't let him go up and search again, it was an apology to his loyalty.
It's a pity that if Lian Zong was so easily moved, he wouldn't be able to sit on the throne of emperor.Sure enough, after hearing Wang Cheng's affirmative answer, Lian Zong's mouth curled up, showing a creepy smile: "Then you want to use your life to appease the ancestors of the royal family?"
"Chen, Chen..." Wang Cheng couldn't continue, or he was finally frightened by Lian Zong's sudden murderous intent.
"Cough." Gu Fang seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot, "Since this is the case, does it mean that there is nothing wrong with the minister? Your Majesty and everyone can leave?"
"Brother Huang, it's so late, Commander Wang didn't find anything, so let's go back?" Lian Heng also helped Gu Fang speak.
"Commander Wang, do you need me to invite you and your subordinates out?" Lian Zong nodded slightly and issued an ultimatum.
"No, no." Wang Cheng staggered up from the ground, and then walked down the side of the National Master Tower with his men whose legs were already trembling.
"The national teacher is also tired." After Wang Cheng left, Lian Zong said to Gu Fang meaningfully, "I will personally offer incense to the ancestors to appease them in the future."
Seeing that Lian Zong was about to leave, Gu Fang stopped Lian Zong after hesitating a few times: "Your Majesty, please follow me."
"What else is there for the national teacher?" Lian Zong squinted his eyes, he suddenly had a feeling that Gu Fang was going to tell him the truth.Maybe not all of them, but the young man was finally willing to trust him a little more.
Gu Fang took out the letter from the secret compartment, handed it to Lian Zong, and told Lian Zong what happened at the National Teacher today without any concealment: "Before Your Majesty, someone sneaked into the National Teacher Tower, Left this on the desk."
"It's really hard work for the national teacher to stay up all night." Lian Zong suddenly became ill-intentioned.
"For the sake of Dayao, I naturally have to pay attention to the changes in the stars all the time, otherwise how can I be worthy of His Majesty's trust." Gu Fang shot back emotionlessly.
Lian Zong didn't expect Gu Fang to answer him like this at all, and felt a little speechless for a moment.Then he glanced at his younger brother who was doing nothing, and his mood was obviously unhappy.
He walked away with the nape of his neck in his hands.
"Oh no, Brother Huang, I'm already this old, can you change the way." Even Gu Fang who was far away heard Lian Heng's screams.
"Tsk, how pitiful." Gu Fang smiled falsely.
"Okay, tonight is really dangerous." Emperor Kaiyuan said at this time, "So you must practice boxing well, you know? In the future, you must also be serious about learning astrology, so that you can predict bad luck in advance!"
"I know." Gu Fang understood the priorities inside.
He leaned on the desk and sat down, looking at the bright starlight outside, thinking to himself, this matter can only be regarded as an end, and he will not be so lucky every time
