Under the solitary lamp, Hongye is dressed in burlap clothes and a cloth hat, with a sallow face. At first glance, she looks like a civilian woman in her early thirties, but her eyes are unusually clear, wrapped in burlap clothes.

Her figure still has undulating curves, and her sunken waist makes her strong buttocks appear fuller.

"Without the old man's instructions, how could I leave Beijing?" Hongye looked coldly, walked to the chair and sat down, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself tea. His tone was obviously quite dissatisfied with the old man.

A soft smile appeared on the corners of Gu Baiyi's lips, and he said, "Are you angry with Master again?"

"Why should I be angry with him?" Hongye said angrily, "I am an old fool and I am not in the mood to get angry with him."

Gu Baiyi smiled, walked over and sat down and said, "Your martial arts seems to have improved a lot. Are you about to break into the sixth level?"

"If he hadn't asked me to do a lot of useless things all day long, I would have reached the sixth level long ago." Hongye took a sip of tea, looked at Gu Baiyi and said: "Elder brother's realm seems to have not been delayed."

Gu Baiyi said with a smile: "I have too many distracting thoughts. I put all my attention on military training. I don't pay much attention to martial arts cultivation. Master scolded me for this. Hong Ye, you are Master's close disciple. You are talented.

Far above us, given time, entering the sixth level or even entering the Great Heaven Realm is just around the corner."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Hongye said indifferently, and handed over a letter: "The old man asked me to give it to you, and also asked me not to peek on the way."

Gu Baiyi took over and said with a smile: "Of course you won't listen to him."

"If he didn't tell me, I might not be interested yet." Hongye said, "If he asked me to come all the way to deliver the letter, but he's not allowed to read the letter, of course I won't tolerate his faults."

Gu Baiyi smiled slightly, took out the letter, looked at it carefully under the light, then picked up the lampshade, burned the letter, and then said: "Master is Master after all, everything is as he expected."

"I don't think it's his clever plan." Hongye said calmly: "Now that senior brother has taken action, what else can't be done? There is a small rebellion in Suzhou. If senior brother can't put it down, then you are not senior brother."

Gu Baiyi laughed and said: "It seems that my junior sister has a high opinion of my senior brother." After a pause, he said: "I am doing the first thing that Master said, and I am doing the second thing.

Get ready to do it.”

"Senior Brother, I have always had a question...?" Hongye frowned slightly, but before she could finish speaking, Gu Baiyi interrupted: "I know what you want to ask."

Hongye asked suspiciously: "What?"

"Are you wondering why Master pays so much attention to Qin Xiao?" Gu Baiyi picked up the teapot, poured a little into the red leaf cup, and then poured half a cup for himself.

Hongye nodded and said: "Yes. Master is indifferent to fame and fortune. He doesn't seem to care about anything in the world. He only cares about those few copybooks day and night. He doesn't seem to be interested in even asking about the progress of our martial arts cultivation. But why would he care about Qin

Xiao cares so much?"

Gu Baiyi took a sip of tea, stared at the red leaves and asked: "You have protected him in Xiling for three years, so you should be very familiar with him. Junior sister, how do you evaluate Qin Xiao?"

Hongye was silent for a moment and then said: "He is very lonely."

"You and I may not be lonely." Gu Baiyi said calmly: "In your heart, what is his greatest advantage?"

"Thoughtful, daring, and chivalrous." Hong Ye said slowly: "Don't be confused when things happen, and know right from wrong!" Gu Baiyi said with a smile: "It turns out that in the heart of junior sister, Qin Xiao has many advantages, which can make junior sister

It seems that there are not many people who appreciate it so much."

"I'm just telling the truth." Hongye said calmly.

Gu Baiyi smiled and said, "I know what you said is true."

"But there are not a few people in the world who have the same merits as him." Hongye stared at Gu Baiyi: "Why does Master look at him differently?"

Gu Baiyi said calmly: "There are indeed many people with the same merits, but there is only one Qin Xiao."

Hong Ye sighed softly: "You and Master are becoming more and more alike. You are using your wits and speaking words that others cannot understand." After a pause, he said: "Master asked you to help him establish a foothold in Jiangnan. Do you want to let him

After this Jiangnan rebellion, control Jiangnan?"

"Junior sister used to be indifferent to many things, and she didn't have the slightest interest in things like this. Why are you suddenly concerned now?" Gu Baiyi smiled half-heartedly.

Hongye said calmly: "I traveled so far to deliver a letter, so I have to understand what the content of the letter means."

"Knowing too much is sometimes not a good thing." Gu Baiyi said slowly: "But the second thing I told you is necessary for you to understand."

Hongye folded his arms across his chest like a man, looked at Gu Baiyi and said: "About Haotian?"

"The Jiangnan Rebellion was a dead end from the beginning." Gu Baiyi mused: "Haotian, who can plan such a layout, is certainly not an idiot. Of course, he also knows very well that even if he wins over the seven surnames of Jiangnan, he still wants to separate Jiangnan.

It is simply wishful thinking, so Haotian should know that this rebellion will definitely end in failure, and the only difference is the price paid by the court."

Hongye said suspiciously: "Since you know you will lose, why does Haotian do this?"

"This is what I have been thinking about." Gu Baiyi's eyes were deep and calm: "This is also the question that Master is thinking about."

"Then do you want to understand?"

Gu Baiyi pondered for a moment, then said: "Junior sister is very smart, why don't you help me think about the reason."

"I don't have time to think about this." Hongye leaned on the chair, her clothes tightened, showing off her exquisite and convex figure, and said lazily: "The old man promised that I can do whatever I want in this year.

There’s no need to listen to his ramblings.”

"So he asked you to deliver the letter, and you just ran over here?" Gu Baiyi said with a smile.

Hong Ye glared at me and said, "He was the one who begged with tears streaming down his face, saying that I was the person he trusted most in the world. He sent someone else to deliver the message, but he couldn't believe it. I was temporarily soft-hearted and fell into his trap."

Gu Baiyi laughed and said: "The imperial court will naturally send troops to annihilate the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and the only troops that can be deployed in Kyoto are the Shence Army."

"What Senior Brother means is that Haotian's purpose of messing up Jiangnan is to draw out the Shence Army?" Hongye frowned and said: "But what is the purpose of doing this? Even if the Shence Army is really transferred to Jiangnan

, does anyone dare to take the opportunity to attack Kyoto?"

"There are no strong enemies near the capital." Gu Baiyi said slowly: "There are also Wuwei Camp and Dragon Scale Imperial Guard Camp in Kyoto. Even if the Shence Army is mobilized, it would be wishful thinking for foreign enemies to break into the impregnable Kyoto."

Hongye nodded slightly: "So what is Haotian's motive for leading the Shence Army to the south of the Yangtze River? Without a reasonable motive explanation, this reason is not valid."

Gu Baiyi also nodded and said: "So I have been thinking, if Haotian's purpose is not to lure out the Shence Army, then why? After thinking about it, I can only think of one possibility."

"What?"

Gu Baiyi's expression became serious and he stared into Hongye's clear eyes: "Did you know that there are two old monsters in the palace?"

"Old monster?" Hongye was startled and looked surprised: "You mean there is a ninth grade in the palace?"

Gu Baiyi nodded slightly.

Hongye's beautiful face faded slightly: "Senior Brother, there are only a few of the ninth rank in the world. It is impossible for Dao Lord and Blood Demon to be in the palace, so how can there be two old monsters in the palace? This... this is impossible!

"

"Master has mentioned to you the ninth grade grandmaster in the world." Gu Baiyi said slowly: "But of course the two in the palace have not mentioned it to you because they are so close and Master does not want you to know too much.

.”

"Two ninth-grade grandmasters?" Hongye was obviously surprised, her beautiful eyes full of shock: "So, there are two grandmasters guarding the emperor? Is the butcher among them?"

Gu Baiyi shook his head and said with a faint smile: "A butcher can kneel to the farmers in the field, but he will never kneel to the emperor."

Hongye seemed to know the butcher quite well, nodded slightly and said: "It is indeed impossible for the butcher to be in the palace." Xiu frowned: "It is impossible for Dao Lord, Blood Demon, and the butcher to be in the palace. The two ends of the palace

Who is this old monster?"

"It doesn't matter who they are." Gu Baiyi clasped his hands with his fingers: "But as long as the two of them are in the palace, no one can hurt the emperor in the slightest."

Hongye Bingxue was smart and seemed to understand. She was a little surprised and said: "Is Haotian's purpose to lure those two old monsters out of the palace? He...he wants to kill the king?"

"If Haotian is a ninth-grade master, entering and leaving the palace will naturally be like entering a deserted place." Gu Baiyi thoughtfully said: "If he has the intention to kill the king, even if he is a ninth-grade master, facing the two people in the palace,

Of course, it is impossible for a master to succeed."

"So if he wants to succeed, he must lure the two ninth-grade grandmasters out of the palace. At least one of them must be lured out before he can have a chance." Hong Ye said: "But since the two grandmasters are guarding the emperor, they are protecting the emperor.

How can you leave so easily if you are thoughtful?"

Gu Baiyi nodded and said: "Of course, it is impossible to make those two masters leave the palace with ordinary methods, but the plan of this Jiangnan chaos is to take Princess Sheyue as a hostage. Of course the saint does not want to see Jiangnan raise a flag.

If the princess's banner is like this, even if the imperial court wins in the end, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be hurt. Once the country weakens, the surrounding bandits will look at it with eager eyes, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"I understand." Hongye said, "So if the princess is really held hostage, the emperor will most likely send a ninth-grade master to Jiangnan to rescue the princess."

Gu Baiyi said: "Although it is not certain that this is the case, this reason can explain why Haotian wants to make trouble in Jiangnan. The Queen Mother of Suzhou will revolt and involves the seven surnames of Jiangnan. This may be just Haotian's confusion.

His method is to make the court mistakenly think that this is just the Jiangnan family's attempt to use the Queen Mother to become an enemy of the court, and make people ignore that his purpose is actually to use the princess to lure the ninth-grade grandmaster from the palace. If the plan succeeds and the grandmaster leaves the palace, then Hao

Heaven will take advantage of it and enter the palace to kill the king."
