Chapter 53

"Why did you come to see me?" Gu Linshan asked straight to the point.

Nan Yaoan pretended to be helpless: "Could it be that you can't find the Taoist priest if you have nothing to do?"

Ah Shen rolled his eyes, Gu Linshan frowned slightly, Nan Yaoyan saw this, and he didn't keep it up, and said: "I hope the Taoist priest can help me."

"What's the matter?" Gu Linshan asked.

Nan Yao straightened his slightly wrinkled skirt, and said with a smile, "I want you to help me deal with one person."

"Who?"

"My master."

Gu Linshan frowned slightly, Ah Shen widened his eyes slightly in astonishment, and said, "You want to kill your master?"

Nan Yaoan took a breath, and said after a while: "If the matter hadn't reached this point, I wouldn't want to. But I hope that the Taoist priest will spare his life when he helps me deal with my master."

"Why are you doing this? Who is your master?" Gu Linshan asked.

"To tell you the truth, my master is the imperial teacher of the current court, and I am the current prince. It was my elder brother who married Princess Gu Yun that day. My real name is Nan Yaoan. Please forgive me if I had to use an alias before."

Gu Linshan's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded, signaling Nan Yaoan to continue talking.

"You know, the current emperor, that is, my father, is already dying. The person staying in the Saicheng restaurant is just a puppet on the verge of death. And this thread to control the puppet is in the hands of my master." Nan Yao said slowly.

"Master was originally the most famous genius in Wunandu. Whether it is Gu art or animal control art, he has reached the peak. He was named the current national teacher at the age of sixteen, and he has been in the position of national teacher for 30 years. Now, he has developed ambitions and is not satisfied with the position of the national teacher, he has used magic to control my father and several of my brothers, and wants to be the lord of the country."

Nan Yaoyu paused for a moment, and finally said: "And I, the reason why I was able to escape, was because I was the only apprentice of the master. And... I promised to help him achieve his great cause."

Seeing this, Gu Linshan asked, "Then why did you change your mind now? If I'm not wrong, you should have done a lot for your master. You are also responsible for the abnormality of the princess, right?"

Nan Yaoyan closed his lips tightly, and after a while he smiled and said: "I really can't hide anything from the Taoist priest. If I hadn't met the Taoist priest, maybe I would have been helping and abusing Master forever. Anyway, I, Nan Yaoyan, am nothing. Nice guy."

"That's true." Ah Shen said casually.

"what?"

"nothing much."

Nan Yaoan chuckled, and was not angry, but continued: "With my strength alone, I will definitely not be able to deal with my master, but if there is a Taoist minister to help us, our chances of winning will be great. Moreover, I will not Let the Taoist chief help in vain."

"What can you give?" Ah Shen said in one breath.

Nan Yaoyan opened his lips lightly, and slowly spit out two words: "Wei Zhou."

Gu Linshan and A Can looked at each other, and they both saw vigilance in each other's eyes, but before Gu Linshan could say anything, Nan Yaoan continued: "Don't worry, Daoist, don't worry about how I know Wei Zhou, you just You need to know that as long as you help me accomplish this, Wei Zhou's soul will definitely be offered."

"Why should we trust you?" Gu Linshan asked.

"Heh" Nan Yaoyan hooked his lips, "Besides this, do you have any other methods?"

……

After Nan Yaoan left, Ah Can and Gu Linshan returned to the room, Ah Can asked, "Do you want to tell Xiao Yun about this?"

Gu Linshan said: "No, if Xiaoyun finds out about this, he will definitely go to Nan Yaoan immediately."

Ah Shen frowned, and said distressedly: "Yes." Then he thought for a while and said: "Lin Shan, don't be fooled by that Nan Yaoan, he must not be a good person."

Gu Linshan looked at him with a smile, and said, "Yes, I know."

Nan Yaoan didn't reveal half of the military training and the black scaled snake, he killed the master and replaced it, and all of this naturally fell into his hands.It seems that it is not only his master who is ambitious, but also him.

That night, Gu Linshan and Asan came to the restaurant, avoided the patrolling soldiers all the way, and came to the backyard of the restaurant.

When Nan Yaoan left that day, he left behind the location of the emperor. Gu Linshan looked around and probably knew which room the emperor was in. Then he and A Can jumped lightly to the roof.Gu Linshan squatted down and gently lifted a piece of tile. When the two looked into the room, they smelled a very strange fragrance.

Incense was lit in the room, and the smoke was smoky. There was a bed in the back of the room, and the bed curtain was drawn down, but a figure could be vaguely seen lying in it.

The two entered the room after confirming that there was no one else in the room.Gu Linshan walked to the bed and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pull back the bed curtain.But I don't know what I thought of, the hand raised in the air hesitated for a moment, but it didn't move.

Ah Shen was surprised, lowered his voice and asked: "Linshan, what's wrong?"

Gu Linshan came back to his senses, his face seemed a little troubled, then, as if he had made up his mind, he shook his head, signaling that he was fine.Then he stepped forward firmly with his hands and pulled open the hanging bed curtain.

When he saw the person on the bed, Gu Linshan's pupils shrank unconsciously, he pursed his lips, stiffened in place, and stared at the person lying on the bed.

The man was thin, with protruding facial bones, leaving only a thin layer of skin, clearly he was on the verge of death.His facial features are very similar to Nan Yaoan's, but different from Nan Yaoan's feminine face. His facial contours are very tough. It is not difficult to see that he must have been a heroic person in his prime.

Ah Shen stretched out his hand to probe the man's wrist, and said, "Lin Shan, this man probably won't live for three days."

After Gu Linshan heard this, he didn't respond. A Shen turned around strangely and said, "Linshan?"

It's okay not to look back, but when he turned around, his eyes widened in surprise.Gu Linshan in front of him had red eyes, full of killing intent.Ah Shen hugged him before he had time to think, and said, "Linshan, it's okay, calm down, okay?"

Gu Linshan turned his head slightly, looked at the back of Ah Shen's head, the redness in his eyes finally receded slightly, and his body gradually calmed down.

Only then did Ah Shen breathe a sigh of relief, thinking of the similar face of the person on the bed to Nan Yao'an, and Gu Linshan's shocked look when he first saw Nan Yao'an in the ancient Yun Kingdom, he frowned slightly.It seems that the reason why Gu Linshan had to follow Nanyao's team to Wunandu was probably related to the emperor of Wunandu.

He always knew that Gu Linshan had something on his mind, but he didn't know what happened to Linshan during those few years at the foot of Muliang Mountain?

"Ah Shen, I'm fine." Gu Linshan's voice was slightly hoarse, as if trying to restrain himself.

Hearing this, Ah Shen let go of his arms.At this moment, the faint sound of the person on the bed came.

The man coughed, and slowly opened his eyes. Phantoms appeared in his eyes. The phantoms gradually overlapped, and finally turned into two people.

"Ahem, you, who are you?" The emperor asked sharply as he fell weakly on the bed.

Gu Linshan tightly pursed his lips, the uncontrollable killing intent was about to flow out of his heart, could he not recognize himself?

What about my mother?Did he forget his mother too?

"Did you go to the ancient cloud country 12 years ago?" Gu Linshan said slowly, but it was not a question, but affirmative.

Hearing this, the person on the bed was stunned for a moment, and raised his hand tremblingly, as if he wanted to grab something.

"In Ancient Cloud Country, have you ever been to the village under Muliang Mountain?"

The man looked at him with trembling lips, "You...you..."

"Did you meet a woman named Li Yue in the village?"

"After meeting her, did you fall in love with her and finally marry her?"

"On the day you got married, did you sneak away alone, leaving her alone?"

"Do you know that she was already pregnant at that time?"

Gu Linshan said every word as if Ling Chi, the hands of the person on the bed were still trembling in the air, he wanted to grab something, but he couldn't grab anything.

Panting with tears streaming down his face, he kept shouting, "Yue'er...Yue'er..."

After a while, he stretched out his hand, firmly grabbed Gu Linshan's sleeve, and said, "You are... Linshan, your mother...how is mother doing? She...the child in her womb... ...but...but..."

Gu Linshan lowered his eyebrows, looked at the hand holding his sleeve, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Dead, all dead. She was already a lunatic, and she became even more insane after you left."

"Dead?" The person on the bed asked in a daze.

"That's right, Grandpa was so angry that he went out to look for you, but he fell on the road and never got up again."

"Since then, she has become more and more in a trance, and finally rolled down the hillside, and the child was gone."

"The villagers thought she was an abandoned woman, a lunatic who killed her father and child. They beat her, bullied her, and wanted to drive her out of the village. We ended up living in a hut at the foot of the mountain. In the end, she I committed suicide and cut my own neck with pieces. I buried her on the mountain, when it was snowing heavily, and I collapsed in the snow exhausted..."

"At that time, I swore to God, if I survived, I would find you and kill you!"

Hearing what Gu Linshan said, Ah Shen felt his heart shrink, and he could hardly breathe due to the pain.He didn't know anything about all the things that Gu Linshan was facing.One of them is at the bottom of the mountain and the other is at the top of the mountain, but it seems that they are so far apart.

He felt a wave of fear, if it wasn't for Gu Linshan and the others who had to go up the mountain to cut firewood all the time after they moved to the foot of the mountain, he wouldn't have seen him, and wouldn't have thought of the baby he had rescued from the foot of the mountain, and now he had grown up This look.If not, he would not have rescued Gu Linshan who fell in the snow in time.

The three people present were all emotionally fluctuating violently.

The emperor lying on the sickbed opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, his heart was beating violently, and he was gasping for breath.
