Chapter 633 There is indeed a problem
In the evening, in the lobby of the front yard of the Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, Gu Chan was sitting paralyzed in the front seat, expressionless and speechless, and her mood was extremely bad.
Wei Xing, Ren Nanshan and others were sitting on chairs on both sides of the lobby, quarreling over the death of the old emperor.
Everyone was divided into two factions. The faction represented by Wei Xing advocated that Gu Chan should not go to Kyoto, otherwise it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, and there would be no return.
The faction headed by Jie Sanshao and Long Yu argued that Gu Chan had to go to Kyoto, otherwise he would be disobeying the order and committing the death penalty of beheading.
Compared to them, Xu Ziguang was obviously much more cunning. He neither opposed nor approved of Gu Chan going to Kyoto. He just sat in a chair and said nothing, watching the two groups quarreling blankly.
Gu Chan listened for a long time, and at a certain moment she couldn't help it anymore. She slammed her palm on the table next to her, glared at everyone and shouted angrily, "That's enough, please calm down. You are sitting here, not me." My subordinates are the parents and officials in the Jiangnan area, how can they quarrel like this and how can it be done properly.”
Everyone was trained to calm down immediately and did not dare to make any more noise.
Gu Chan looked at Xu Ziguang and said, "Master Xu, you haven't said a word since you came in until now. I would like to hear your opinion."
"Lord, I'm afraid you might feel uncomfortable after hearing my opinion!" Xu Ziguang said with an embarrassed look on his face.
"What's so uncomfortable about this? Just say it quickly and don't worry." Gu Chan said angrily.
Xu Ziguang smiled awkwardly, looked at everyone, and then said timidly, "I think it doesn't matter whether I go or not. What matters is whether the lord has the courage to go to Kyoto to fight with the crown prince. Now the old emperor has passed away. There is obviously a problem with this matter. The Crown Prince has succeeded to the throne as the new emperor of Tiancang Kingdom at this critical moment, so it is even more problematic!”
"So, do you think I don't have the ability or courage to go to Kyoto to confront the prince head-on?" Gu Chanxu said with eyes narrowed.
"Lord, I don't mean that, I'm just discussing the matter! And I already said I don't want to say it, you have to let me say it, look! Now you are unhappy!" Xu Ziguang said aggrievedly, spreading his hands.
Gu Chan glared at him fiercely and said coldly, "Okay, everyone goes back to deal with their own affairs. You don't need to discuss this matter anymore. I will think of a solution myself."
"Yes, Lord Lord." Everyone agreed in unison.
Then everyone stood up quickly and walked away quickly as if they were running away.
At the end, only a few of Gu Chan's cronies were left in the lobby, looking at her with worried expressions.
Gu Chan said, "You guys should go down and rest too! Leave me alone."
"Master..."
"Okay, stop talking. I'm tired now. Just leave me alone." Gu Chan interrupted Wei Xing with a wave of his hand.
Several people resigned and left reluctantly.
Gu Chan sat alone in the lobby. After thinking quietly for a while, she got up and left the lobby, then walked all the way out of the City Lord's Mansion and headed towards Jigong Temple in the east of Jiangnan City.
Half an hour later, Gu Chan arrived at the Buddhist hall of Jigong Temple.
What surprised her was that not only the nine-fingered old beggar was in the Buddhist hall at this time, but also Nan Xingkuang, the general of the Jiangnan camp. Gu Chan walked up and sat across from the two of them and said, "What a coincidence, you two are still together."
"We have been waiting for you for a long time. We are sure that you will come tonight." Nan Xing said with a wild smile.
Gu Chan frowned upon hearing this, and suddenly realized something was wrong.
The two of them couldn't get along in the past, and she had never seen Nan Xingkuang come to Jigong Temple. But after the news of the old emperor's death spread, tonight he actually appeared in such an unusual place. Reasonable place.
This is naturally very wrong.
Nan Xing looked at the nine-fingered old beggar crazily and said, "Stop hiding it from him. It's time to confess to him."
"Forget it, today, there is nothing to hide anymore." The nine-fingered old beggar sighed.
After saying that, under Gu Chan's dumbfounded gaze, he reached out and slowly tore off the disguise covering his face, revealing his true face.
Gu Chan stared blankly for a while before she reacted and said, "Damn it! Old gang leader, you are such a beggar! You even put on a disguise, you are really ugly, you are just playing tricks!"
"Gu Chan, please don't be rude. He is Xuanyuan Wu, the Dragon Martial Emperor of our Tiancang Kingdom." Nan Xingkuang scolded him sternly.
Gu Chan's face suddenly turned pale with fright. She quickly stood up, knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm so sorry! I've never seen you before, so I didn't recognize you just now. I thought you were having fun!" < br>
"Haha... You brat, you are really making me laugh and make me angry. Forget it, get up! I don't blame you for not knowing, and I don't blame you. Just think that I am still the old gang leader. That’s it.” Xuanyuan Wu chuckled.
He has been in the Jiangnan area for so long, and he has known Gu Chan for a long time. He is very fond of her and has no intention of blaming her.
Gu Chan smiled awkwardly, quickly thanked her, got up from the ground, and sat back on the futon.
Nan Xingkuang said, "The news about the emperor's death coming from Kyoto this time is false. It was done by the prince in order to usurp the throne. But now that he has done this, the real emperor in Jiangnan has become a fake emperor." , and the fake emperor lying in the palace of Kyoto has turned into the real emperor!”
"Oh! I understand. So, the prince found a corpse, pretended to be the emperor or his old man, and then announced that the emperor had died. In this way, he could naturally succeed to the throne and become the new emperor. And now If this true emperor dares to step out again, he will naturally be considered a fake by the world and be hunted down, right?" Gu Chan said with relief.
Nan Xingkuang nodded affirmatively.
Gu Chan shook his head and said, "What a prince! He's so courageous. I'm not even dead yet! He's just rushing to usurp the throne, and I'm convinced."
"Now, only the three of us in the entire Tiancang Kingdom know the truth, so you have to keep it a secret and not leak it to the outside world, otherwise the emperor may be in danger of his life." Nan Xingkuang reminded.
Gu Chan hurriedly nodded in agreement. Anyway, she was already troubled by this matter now, so naturally she didn't want to do anything else that was extraneous.
But just as she was thinking this, Xuanyuan Wu chuckled and said, "Gu Chan, do you still remember when you asked me to help you deceive Zuo Wangfeng?"
"What's going on? It's been so long, I don't remember much." Gu Chan said, spreading her hands.
During this period of time, so many things happened in the Jiangnan area, and she also traveled abroad. Naturally, she forgot about those things in the past when she should, and suddenly it was difficult to recall them.
