Chapter 142: Exchange of Hostages

Gu Yu opened the door and saw Concubine Fanggui sitting on a futon, still reciting sutras in her mouth, and turning the beads between her fingers.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yu couldn't help but said: "If Concubine Fang is really merciful, when she goes back this time, she will try her best to persuade Prince An not to start a war and not to cause the people in Jiangnan to be displaced."

Princess Fanggui stiffened slightly and whispered: "I will recite sutras every day to pray for the people who suffered from the war and atone for their sins."

Gu Yu felt that these words were ironic, sneered and said, "Well, then I'm afraid you won't be able to atone for the sins committed by Prince An even if you recite sutras all your life."

Unexpectedly, Princess Fanggui retorted to her: "When people live in this world, they are here to atone for their sins. If you can redeem yourself, you must have this heart first."

Gu Yudao: "According to you, as long as you have the heart to atone, you can make mistakes at will?"

Princess Fanggui said: "Humans are born guilty."

Gu Yu felt that Concubine Fanggui's words were uncomfortable, so she stopped talking to her and just said: "Concubine Fanggui, the seven-day appointment has arrived, please come."

Gu Yu winked at Wu Yan, who stepped forward and tied up Concubine Fanggui.

They got on the boat together from the river in Tongning County and sailed toward the center of the canal.

The river is open, and the sun's strong sunlight spreads on it. Everywhere you look, there are brilliant waves like gold foil.

Gu Yu's eyes are almost healed and she can see as before.

But now there is no shelter on the canal, and the sun is too strong, so she needs to cover her eyes with gauze to prevent tears.

Under the mist of gauze, Gu Yu saw a group of ships approaching menacingly.

Sweat dripped from her palms, and she prayed secretly in her heart.

Broom star, you must...

Good.

As the boats from both sides got closer and closer, everyone became nervous.

On the river, each side sent out a small boat. Gu Yu and Ziyan took Princess Fanggui into the boat. Ziyan took the boat pole and rowed towards the river, and met Prince An on the other boat.

head.

The two ships collided, and Gu Yu tied Princess Fanggui to the boat. You Ziyan watched as she walked out alone, while Prince An also stood alone on the bow.

Prince An said: "Gu Junyi has been upright throughout his life, how could he give birth to a son as cunning as a fox like you?"

Gu Yudao: "Concubine Fang Gui is full of compassion. Wouldn't she also give birth to a son like Prince An who only cares about his own selfish desires and does not care about the common people?"

Prince An said: "It's really ironic. I'm not the only one who has no regard for the common people. Isn't it even more so for the Holy One whom you are loyal to?"

He obviously had doubts about me for a long time, but he didn't want to be blamed for fratricide, so he delayed me until everything was ready, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he sent you two little kids here.

If this king is right, there must be no news about the arrival of the imperial army. Haha, even now, he is still thinking that he will not 'have to' take action against his brother until this king kills you and arouses public outrage.

This catastrophe in the south of the Yangtze River was caused by this king, but it was also the result of his indulgence. As expected, he is the son of the prostitute Ye Ting. Even though he is sitting on the throne, he still can't get rid of the disgusting habit of trying to hide it. "

Prince An's tone was full of deep disgust and hatred for the Holy One.

Gu Yu was also frightened after hearing this. Now that things have happened, she is really too slow to see clearly the Lord's plan.

Xiao Xingzhi arrived last night and told her that when they left Kyoto, the imperial reinforcements did not know how far they had discussed it, and they had not heard any movement.

She originally thought that the Holy Emperor was afraid of the Jun family and sent her to Jiangnan to check and balance Junze, but she didn't expect that she would also be the pawn who was sacrificed.

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable and dangerous.

Sure enough, the most unreliable thing in the world is the human heart. She believed that the Holy Emperor must have been completely different from what he is now, otherwise her father, Duke Zhen, the eldest princess and others would not have supported him to ascend the throne when the palace changed.

Just like the seemingly innocent and timid Sixth Prince, didn't he also deliver the poisonous cake to her at the critical moment?

However, Prince An has an excellent reputation in Jiangnan. Who dares to say that if Prince An had ascended to the throne, the current situation in the world would be better than it is now?

That's all, what's the use of thinking about this now.

From the day the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, Prince An had no choice but to rebel if he wanted to replace him.

Likewise, as the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, even if she knew that the Holy Emperor was using her, she had only one way to go.

Not only does she have to survive in the midst of power struggles, she also has to find a way to climb up step by step.

Gu Yu looked at the face that had a three-thirds resemblance to the current sage and said, "Prince An, it's useless to talk more. Let's replace him."

Gu Yu took Princess Fanggui out of the cabin.

There are people behind both sides today. If something goes wrong, both sides will suffer.

We are all smart people. Even if we want to fight, we have to wait until Princess Fanggui and Junze reach a safe place before fighting.

Seeing Junze being brought out by Prince An, Gu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Junze looked haggard and haggard, his hands and feet were intact and his clothes were new. When he saw Gu Yu, he gave her a familiar smile.

Gu Yu placed two decks between the two ships. When the two hostages walked towards each other, Gu Yu and Prince An became nervous together.

Fortunately, they were all wary of each other and did not act rashly under the pressure from the other party.

When Junze stepped onto Gu Yu's boat, the deck suddenly moved. Gu Yu and Prince An showed their weapons at the same time, and that was what they said in a tense manner.

Unexpectedly, Junze's foot was in the air, his hands and feet were limp, and he fell directly onto Gu Yu.

Upon seeing this, Prince An relaxed his vigilance slightly.

Junze whispered in Gu Yu's ear: "Go quickly, there is a third party under the water."

Gu Yu quickly helped him back to the cabin, untied the rope for him, pretended to be calm, and immediately picked up the pole and rowed back.

Gu Yu was sweating coldly, fearing that he would be robbed by someone underwater.

Prince An did not dare to take action while Concubine Fanggui was not safe. The people under the water were most likely the fake water bandits who hijacked the Xiao family's grain ship last time.

Who are that group of people? What are they going to do?

Just as they were approaching the group of our own ships, there was a loud bang behind them and water splashed everywhere.

It's a torpedo!

Gu Yu's boat was shaken by the waves. Looking back, he saw Prince An's boat being boarded by several men in black in the waves.

The navy on Prince An's side thought it was Gu Yu's fault, and clusters of arrow feathers attacked Gu Yu's ship.

In desperation, Gu Yu had no choice but to drag Jun Ze into the water to escape, while Wu Yan also jumped down.

Just as they were about to swim towards their own ship, another torpedo sounded and exploded in front of them.

Gu Yu was dizzy under the water waves, and several masked men like water ghosts swam towards them.

The three of them started fighting with them underwater.

Gu Yugang popped up to take a breath and found that his navy, thinking it was Prince An's fault, had already started fighting in Prince An's direction.

Arrows flew from the front and back, and Gu Yu dragged Junze with him, struggling to survive in the cracks.

Without enough time to think too much, Gu Yu dragged Junze underwater and swam to the shore on the right.

Wuyan was left to hold off the masked men for them.

On the way to the shore, Gu Yu was almost hit by rocks several times, and was almost vomited blood by the shock wave of a torpedo.

After narrowly escaping death, they managed to get ashore.

The battle on the water gradually became more intense, but the two men lay in the reeds and lost their strength.
