I was Idle and Cool Chapter 211: The old enemy will fight

"Why are you here?"

Lu Jinxi almost couldn't believe her eyes, she stood up from her seat at once, her face full of horror.

"Xue Kuang will enter the palace from Zhuozhou tomorrow, you are—"

"Madam, His Highness the Seventh Prince was secretly taken over from Zhuozhou." Seeing her so shocked, Meng Ji could not help but stand up and explain, saying, "After you gave that book of Anti-Classics to His Highness, His Highness was already shaken, and then he waited for an opportunity to get on our dark nails, so that he could come to the mansion without knowing it. As soon as the sun rises tomorrow, I am afraid that there will be a tough battle to fight, and your Highness will be safer in the Grand Master's mansion."

"God does not know, ghost does not know?"

Lu Jinxi only felt that her body was a lot colder, and there was an indescribable fear and concern in her eyes, only staring at Xiao Tingzhi.

"Meng Ji, does the eldest son know about this?"

When she heard the word "eldest son", Meng Ji also reacted. After all, she used "eldest son" to address Xiao Tingzhi before, and then realized that she was talking about Gu Juefei this time.

So he replied, "I know."

"Yes, he actually knew..."

That strange uneasy premonition, more and more came up.

Lu Jinxi suddenly felt a little weak, and sat down again, just looking at Xiao Tingzhi, it was already complicated.

It shouldn't.

Xiao Tingzhi should not have come to the Taishi Mansion.

At such an important moment, he should have followed Xue Kuang and waited for the moment when Tianming departed from Zhuozhou. Xue Kuang is not a fool, and it is impossible not to send someone to watch Xiao Tingzhi. After all, if he really wants to come to the capital, he will definitely be optimistic about his bargaining chip.

Unfortunately, Xiao Tingzhi appeared, so easily.

The slightly cool fingers lifted up and pressed against his forehead. Lu Jinxi couldn't understand Xue Kuang's intention for a while, let alone why Gu Juefei agreed to Xiao Tingzhi's arrival so easily since he knew it. The teacher's house is coming!

The expression on her face was undisguised, somewhat obvious.

Xiao Tingzhi saw it.

He is still wearing that dark cloak, with a dark blue brocade robe inside, a delicate and small jade pendant hanging around his waist, and his face is slightly stained with dust from Taoism , at the moment only looking at her slightly frowning eyebrows.

I haven't seen you for many days.

In the past, he was the son of Tingzhi that everyone in the General's Mansion would ridicule, but now he is the heir to the throne who can affect the overall situation of the world, the seventh prince aloof.

Only, she is the same.

A woman who doesn't show the slightest joy when she sees him, and a woman who doesn't seem to welcome him when she looks at him carefully.

They are very different.

He didn't even know what kind of mood he was in to rush back to the capital from Zhuozhou all the way, stepping into the gate of the Taishi's mansion, which he had never stepped into before, and came to her again.

Perhaps it is really out of the most rational and comprehensive consideration, afraid of Xue Kuang's wolf ambitions, and feels that Gu Juefei's school has his teacher, and it is not as poor as Xue Kuang's side.

Maybe...

In this heart, there is still a little selfishness that even he himself does not want to admit.

Because of her.

Because she's here.

Because she wants to do it herself.

Because I can see her again when I return to the capital.

But when he saw her again, he didn't see the slightest surprise in her eyes, only a sudden suspicion and fear.

Yes.

Doubt, fear.

This made Xiao Tingzhi's repressed and buried emotions surge up again, but today he has gone through a lot of world events, and he is much more familiar than before, so he can cover up this emotion.

He stood in the hall, just smiling faintly.

"Isn't my lady welcome?"

"How come?"

Lu Jinxi suddenly had a headache when she heard this voice, but remembering that his identity is different from the past, after all, he is the seventh prince, so he has to save face. So she put on her smile again and instructed Meng Ji who was on the side.

"The Seventh Prince came down to his honor, but it made the Grand Master's mansion flourish. Mr. Meng, since His Highness has come, please take the trouble to arrange a suitable residence for His Highness, and let His Highness be sent to him. Protected."

"Yes."

Meng Jilao felt that the atmosphere between his wife and the seventh prince was a bit strange, but after listening to her instructions, he didn't have time to think deeply, and only quickly guided Xiao Tingzhi.

"Your Highness, please."

Xiao Tingzhi gave Lu Jinxi a deep look, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Just follow Meng Ji and leave.

Lu Jinxi stood in the flower hall and watched, only to see his slightly swaying figure, walking through the light and shadow of the lanterns in the corridor, slowly disappearing.

But she didn't go back to the room.

Just sitting in this flower hall and waiting.

Just as the ugly bangzi knocked, there were footsteps outside, and it was Gu Juefei who came back.

As he walked into the hall, he threw the cloak he was wearing outside to the entourage beside him, frowning tightly.

But when he walked into the door and saw Lu Jinxi, he laughed.

"It's too late to go to bed and wait for me here?"

"I was going to sleep, but just now Meng Ji brought Xiao Tingzhi." Lu Jinxi sat on the delicately carved rose chair and looked up at him quietly, but pressed his fingers on the armrest. But he couldn't help but tighten his grip, "What are your plans, and what are Xue Kuang's plans?"

"He reversed."

Gu Juefei's eyes flashed, but he sighed. There was a bit of surprise in his tone, and then he caught Lu Jinxi's eyes and added another sentence.

"This time it's really the opposite."

Really?

What is "true"?

Lu Jinxi was dazed by these two words that didn't touch the sky or the ground. Just as he was about to ask a clear question, when he thought of Xiao Tingzhi, he suddenly jolted: "You mean—"

"Tomorrow is a tough battle."

Gu Juefei knew that she wanted to understand, so she didn't explain much. Seeing how she waited in this flower hall for a long time, she just stretched out her hand to hold her hand, and felt a cool feeling.

"You too. In the early spring, when it's warm and cold, even if you want to wait for me, you should go back to the house and wait."

He blamed his mouth, but his heart was soft and slightly sweet, and regardless of the expression on her face, he just pulled her up from the seat, accompanied him, and walked down the corridor into the house Walk.

In the passage, Zi also explained the latest situation clearly.

"Today, we have set up defenses at all the gates of the capital, and even the palace is full of murderous intentions. Liu Jin is guarding the west of the city, and Fang Shaoxing is responsible for the defense of the main roads in the capital and the transfer of the guards in the palace. I Nai Wenchen, Zuo is only a staff member for them. But tomorrow morning, I have to check everywhere to avoid any omissions. If there are no accidents, there should be results in these two days.”

This is really going to be a fight with Xue Kuang.

Lu Jinxi was walking on the road, listening to him detail these trivial matters, only what he said just now was "really reversed".

So when he finished speaking, she only said: "I thought I had understood Xue Kuang. But Xiao Tingzhi easily arrived at the Grand Master's Mansion, and you told me that he was real this time. On the contrary. I can't understand more and more what he is thinking and what he wants..."

Gu Juefei did not speak.

Lu Jinxi turned his head to look at him and remembered: "He let Xiao Tingzhi come so easily, and you had no doubt that Xiao Tingzhi was brought to the mansion, and you didn't see Xue Kuang, the news It can't be so timely. That is to say, when Meng Ji told you that he could pick up Xiao Tingzhi from Zhuozhou and return to the capital, you already knew Xue Kuang's plan."

This is not bad at all.

Gu Juefei did not deny it.

Although his judgment has not been confirmed, he believes that he has guessed Xue Kuang's motive for doing this, the unreasonable motive-

He was tired of using the banner of the Xiao royal family.

He was forced to this state, that is, to rebel in an open and honest way.

What was said in the original letter of retribution may not be true: only when his general's mansion was really persecuted by the Xiao royal family would he be rebellious, and only at this moment. Resolutely put aside the original Seventh Prince Xiao Tingzhi!

Tomorrow at noon, the capital will usher in not a new emperor who is about to ascend the throne, but the iron hoof of the imperial palace under the leadership of Xue Kuang!

Gu Juefei stopped in front of the house door, looked back at her, didn't explain much, and didn't want her to worry, just said: "After I leave in the morning, you will have the Grand Master's Mansion completely sealed. Get up, don't go out for half a step. Anyone who comes, block the outside. Unless the war is settled and the winner is decided..."

To put it a little bigger, this is a major event for the family, the country and the world.

To put it mildly, this is a never-ending grievance between Gu Juefei and Xue Kuang that does not involve anyone else!

He wouldn't let her take risks with him.

Lu Jinxi also knew that she really couldn't help with the formation of troops, so she didn't refute anything, she just suppressed the emotions that were surging strong like wine, revealing a He smiled reassuringly and said, "I will listen to you."

Only then did Gu Juefei feel relieved.

When he was ugly when he returned to the mansion, he went into the house and had some supper with her, then lay down hastily and fell asleep.

The next morning, when Lu Jinxi opened his eyes, there was nothing around him.

Only the sound of hooves and footsteps from the street passed through the huge Taishi Mansion and reached her ears.

It's been ten years.

After the battle of Hanshan Pass, the battle between Gu Juefei and Xue Kuang finally came to the end.
