Chapter 344: Top of the Forbidden City

 The hunchbacked old man suddenly let out a charming laugh, "How did you recognize me?"

This voice startled Ma Xiuzhen, and she stared at the hunchbacked old man, "Are you Mrs. Gongsun?"

Aunt Gongsun looked at her feet. She saw a pair of green hemp boots that tightly wrapped her red shoes. It was impossible for Su Shaoying to tell based on the shoes on her feet.

"Yes, I can tell from your shoes." Su Shaoying said.

 Aunt Gongsun was very curious, "No way, my red shoes are hidden inside, you can't see them."

 “Who said I saw your red shoes?”

"What's going on?" Aunt Gongsun asked, "I bought these shoes from a secondhand stall. They are definitely ordinary people's shoes."

"But the shoes are too big." Su Shaoyang said earnestly, "You are such a stooped and short old man, but you are still wearing such big shoes. Why don't you make me suspicious?"

 “Is it big?” Aunt Gongsun blinked.

"Perhaps the big one is not very obvious, but in the eyes of experts, it is enough to become the target of suspicion." Su Shaoying said lightly, "Ye Gucheng also discovered you just now, didn't he?"

Aunt Gongsun said calmly, "Why don't you put down the sword in your hand?"

 “Where did I go wrong?” asked Aunt Gongsun.

Ma Xiuzhen couldn't help but cover her eyes. The image in front of her was really too eye-catching.

Hearing this, Aunt Gongsun deliberately pinched her orchid fingers in the image of a hunchbacked old man, twisting her figure into a voluptuous and charming curve, and said delicately, "Like this?"

"You are just an old man now." Su Shaoying said lightly, "What do you think others will think of an old man who can act coquettishly?"

 Then Su Shaoying handed the sword in his hand to Ma Xiuzhen.

 “If you can’t say it, then you’re going to be a rogue, right?” Su Shaoying also laughed.

Aunt Gongsun sighed, "Lu Xiaofeng has a dog nose and has such strong eyesight. I am really under too much pressure."

Ye Gucheng also glanced at Aunt Gongsun before leaving. Su Shaoying noticed it, and of course Aunt Gongsun also saw it.

Aunt Gongsun smiled happily and asked, "Am I a beautiful woman?"

"Why don't you take off your red shoes?" Su Shaoying couldn't help but ask.

Aunt Gongsun curled her lips and said, "You don't have to belittle yourself."

"Playing rogue is what women are best at." Aunt Gongsun said with a smile, "It just so happens that I am also a woman."

 “Playing rogue should be what beautiful women are best at.” Su Shaoying said.

"No wonder you and Lu Xiaofeng became friends." Aunt Gongsun laughed angrily, "Anyway, the red shoes are the symbol of our sisters, and we will never take them off."

Su Shaoying shook her head, "You are wrong."

Su Shaoying also put her hand on her forehead. She didn't expect Aunt Gongsun to be such a person. She couldn't help but sigh, "You and Lu Xiaofeng have learned badly."

 Aunt Gongsun, “…”

Su Shaoying nodded and said, "Thank you for the praise."

Aunt Gongsun glanced at Ma Xiuzhen and looked at Su Shaoying, "Ouyang is waiting for you in the capital."

 “Have you seen Ouyang?” Su Shaoying asked. "She has arrived in the capital a few days ago." Aunt Gongsun glanced at Su Shaoying sideways, "She is in Yiqingyuan."

Su Shaoying blinked, "Isn't this Yiqingyuan also your property?"

Aunt Gongsun smiled slightly, "What do you think?"

"I can't guess." Su Shaoying asked with a smile, "You came to Zhangjiakou, isn't it because you also have property in Zhangjiakou that needs to be dealt with?"

 Aunt Gongsun’s eyes turned and continued, “What do you think?”

“Ye Gucheng is the prince’s teacher in Prince Pingnan’s Palace. Monk Lao Fang is also related to some palaces, let alone you...” Su Shaoying said leisurely, “Are you here to see Ye Gucheng?”

 Aunt Gongsun's pupils shrank and she took a breath, "Can't you be a little stupid?"

“I heard that many people have placed bets on the battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue. Some people bet on Ye Gucheng’s victory with three bets and two bets?” Su Shaoying asked.

 Aunt Gongsun sighed, "Exactly."

"So Ye Gucheng was poisoned by Tang Tianyi's poisonous sand, and the honest monk happened to be a witness?" Su Shaoying and Aunt Gongsun had fought side by side, so they decided to test it out, "Then what are you doing here? To heal Ye Gucheng's wounds, or to take care of him?" Did he disguise himself and return to the capital?"

Aunt Gongsun shook her head, "I can't tell you this, but you can rest assured that the battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue will definitely be a fair duel, and I will go and watch it when the time comes."

Su Shaoying raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you know where the two of them dueled?"

There was a hint of cunning in Aunt Gongsun's eyes, "If you can guess where they are dueling, I will tell you the reason why I came to Zhangjiakou."

 “Really?” Su Shaoying asked.

 “Really!” Aunt Gongsun said with certainty.

"Then I'm welcome." Su Shaoying said lightly, "August 15th has been changed to September 15th. Naturally, the Purple Gold Peak has been changed to the Forbidden Peak. A peerless swordsman, a peerless duel, naturally In a unique place.”

Su Shaoying smiled and said, "In the capital, what place is better than the top of the Forbidden City?"

Aunt Gongsun’s pupils shrank suddenly, “Did you guess this yourself?”

Su Shaoying smiled and said, "If the Shu Palace was not involved in this bet, I should have guessed it myself."

"The King of Shu sat in the southwest and rarely participated in the affairs of other princes." Aunt Gongsun sighed, "You guessed it right, the Purple Gold Peak was changed to the Forbidden Peak. After Ximen Chuixue changed the location of the decisive battle to the capital, he let Ye Gucheng chose the specific location, and then Ye Gucheng chose the top of the Forbidden City.”

Hearing this, Ma Xiuzhen couldn't help but gasped, "They are so brave!"

Aunt Gongsun said calmly, "These two people have nothing to fear."

"Don't change the subject." Su Shaoying waved her hand in front of Aunt Gongsun, "You and Ye Gucheng don't know each other. Almost no one knows the location of their decisive battle now, but you knew it in advance. Obviously Pingnan Prince's Palace was also involved in this matter. ”

Aunt Gongsun nodded, "Yes, the duel between these two peerless swordsmen not only caused a sensation in the entire world, but also the Dukes of Gong and other princes in the court heard about it."

"The duel in the arena may be fair and square, but once it comes to the court, if there is no conspiracy and intrigue, I won't believe in the character of the adults in the court." Su Shaoying said with a smile.

Aunt Gongsun also smiled, "You are right, I did come to see this battle. I came when I knew that Ye Gucheng was going to kill Tang Tianyi, and I also wanted to bring a letter to Ye Gucheng."

Su Shaoying’s eyes flickered, “Who can I help?”

Aunt Gongsun said, "Prince Pingnan's Mansion."
