He is from the end of the world
Chapter 49 Fanwai
(Seven)
From that day on, Lu Guixi had a little tail behind him.
The child's surname is Ming and his name is Yan. His ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River. His family suffered a catastrophe a month ago.His grandfather had saved the life of Lu Ren, who had just entered the rivers and lakes, and entrusted the child to Lu Ren to take care of him during a crisis.
But what kind of personality is Lu Ren? He has repaid the kindness of the other party by bringing him back. As for whether the child lives or dies, what does it matter to him?Lu Guixi knew it well, if he didn't agree then, the child in front of him would follow his old path and be thrown into the martial arts hall to fend for himself.
Thinking that such a timid little guy would become like him when he grows up, Lu Guixi's heart suddenly softened.
Not to mention the expensive clothes, the little guy's behavior reveals the four characters of etiquette and self-cultivation. At first glance, he looks like a little son from a big family. Lu Guixi can't help but feel a little worried-he doesn't know how to take care of him.
Seeing that he agreed, Lu Ren waved his hands casually to signal everyone to leave, with a calm attitude as if he had never considered the problem of Lu Guixi not answering at all.
The smiles on everyone's faces with reasons for their own reasons gradually dissipated. Lu Guixi pumped himself up, walked up to the child's side and squatted down, holding back for a long time and almost using the most gentle voice in his life: "In the future Just follow me, okay?"
The little guy stared at him with a pair of watery eyes. He stretched out his two little hands several times and then hesitated to withdraw them. Lu Guixi looked at that pitiful look and felt nervous for him. Finally, when Chen Mingyan wanted to withdraw his hands again, Lu Gui Xi finally couldn't control himself, and reached out to hold his hand.
That year, Lu Guixi had just turned seventeen, and Chen Mingyan hadn't turned nine years old.
(Eight)
When meeting for the first time, Chen Mingyan felt that the person in front of him was not a bad person.
His intuition has always been surprisingly accurate.
When I was young, I thought there was something wrong with a court lady, but within a few years, she was found out to be the "eye" sent by another palace. When I grew up, I felt that there was something wrong with the cup in front of me. Sure enough, the emperor was drinking from the cup. Not long after drinking tea, he died of poisoning.
It was also thanks to this miraculous intuition that he and his concubine could spend so many years in the palace safe and sound.
It's a pity that intuition doesn't always work.
His father, the current emperor, was dissolute and disregarded state affairs, and there were so many beauties in the harem that even the emperor himself could not count them.Several empresses with powerful foreign relatives fought in the palace all day long. If it wasn't for Chen Mingyan's grandfather's family who controlled more than half of the army in the Chen Dynasty, their mother and son would have been determined to get rid of them long ago.
The grandfather exchanged his "death" with the prime minister on the condition of nearly one-third of the military power. Everyone in the court knew that he had faked his death, but only his biological father did not know it.
He followed Lu Ren to the Qinghe Gang, showing a cowardly appearance on the way.His mother and concubine hanged herself in the palace, and he came to such a strange place alone... No matter how mature his heart is, he is still just an eight-year-old child, standing in the empty lobby and accepting all kinds of people from all directions. Looking around, the five fingers covered by the long sleeves that were hanging down because they didn't fit tightly clenched into fists.
Lu Guixi is really a very simple person, when he squatted beside him and said that, Chen Mingyan almost couldn't hold back his pretense and laughed out loud.
Obviously, he was still saying "Yes" in a cold tone that seemed to be able to directly form ice balls just now, but the next moment he tried to hold back such a gentle sentence...
This is the special tenderness that belongs to this person alone.
Chen Mingyan held back the hand he extended, and showed a big smile at the person without any concealment.
He likes gentle people, gentle and obedient people.

At first, Chen Mingyan was very curious about how Lu Guixi managed to live so long in this gang.Everyone here has their own little calculations, only Lu Guixi treats others openly and honestly. How can such a ridiculous personality not be killed?
Later he also understood that it was due to Lu Guixi's character.
No matter who in the Qinghe gang can get a lot of benefits from him, leaving Lu Guixi is equivalent to having an extra thug who can be called at any time, a sharp weapon, and a good place to shirk responsibility. If someone wants to touch him, Others in the Qinghe Gang may not agree.
He had suffered a lot on weekdays, and when he was faced with a major crisis, the other members of the gang would take the initiative to solve it for him. This seemed to have formed a tacit understanding among the middle and upper echelons of the gang.
Back and forth, Lu Guixi owed nothing to anyone, and no one else owed him.
This might be his way of life.
Even after understanding all this, Chen Mingyan still felt that Lu Guixi's thinking was very incomprehensible.
He has always been a typical example of not necessarily repaying favors but repaying grudges doubled. Others made him suffer. Chen Mingyan smiled and said nothing. How to calculate back.
Lu Guixi really didn't care.
It was not until a long time later that Chen Mingyan realized that he really didn't care.
Lu Guixi looks cool and cold, but his personality is not bad at all. There is really nothing he cares about in this world.
What he owed Qinghebang to Lu Ren had already been paid off, and he was almost floating in the world like a ghost all day long.
Lu Guixi's life is too monotonous, and when he has nothing to do, he can even sit in the room alone for a whole day with no expression on his face.Hmm...something like a shadow puppeteer recruited to perform in the palace on the Empress Dowager's birthday. Every move has to be manipulated and someone gives him orders. When there is no order, it is placed in a box to collect dust and dust.
There is no desire in his heart.Whether it's for people or things, it doesn't matter what it is, so he doesn't care.
It doesn't matter even if they are designed to die in the next moment, because they don't know the meaning of living.
Chen Mingyan likes digging into people's hearts the most, and he was shocked when he fumbled a little bit for the idea of returning home.
How on earth was this person raised?
As a person, Lu Guixi is obviously unqualified, but as a sword, he is the dream of countless people in power.
Would you like to be my sword and cut through the thorns and thorns for me?
Such a small seed gradually took root and sprouted in his heart.
(ten)
The longer he spends with Lu Guixi, the deeper Chen Mingyan understands him.
For example, there are some things that Lu Guixi knows in his heart, but he doesn't care so he suffers from this, and some things are just fooled by him in a daze.
Chen Mingyan sighed helplessly, and wrinkled his bun face: "Guixi, that person is obviously cheating on you! Didn't you even react?"
Lu Guixi looked puzzled: "When?!"
Chen Mingyan lay on the table and did not speak.
Can this person stop being shrewd in big things and confused in small things...
Don't you even know you've been extorted three or two taels of silver for no reason!
Lu Guixi thought for a long time before realizing what he was referring to: "But...forget it."
He took the dish that was just brought up by Xiaoer at the side, picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into Chen Mingyan's mouth: "Mingyan, try it?"
This was an embarrassing thing about Chen Mingyan when he was a child. Not long after he followed Lu Guixi at that time, he tested Lu Guixi many times overtly and secretly, and finally came to the conclusion that "this person is sincerely towards him". Heat almost didn't cry.
Lu Guixi looked at him with a disheveled look on his face, and Chen Mingyan blurted out in a panic: "It's Guixi's cooking that's so delicious! It's so delicious that I'm crying!"
Lu Guixi's face was full of disbelief, he tasted his own dark food in silence, and has been working on "adjusting" Chen Mingyan's taste since then.
Everywhere he went, he would order a lot of local specialties and stuff them into Chen Mingyan's mouth one by one, just trying to find something "delicious" for him to eat.
Chen Mingyan gained a lot of weight in just a few months.
He was thinking of refusing, but when Lu Guixi called him Ming Yan, he couldn't say anything.
Although his name was Chen Mingyan, Chen was a surname that only the royal family could use, so he used his first name directly, but Lu Guixi always thought his name was Mingyan.
Every time he heard the other party calling him like this, Chen Mingyan felt a faint sense of satisfaction in his heart, as if the other party was calling him very intimately, and his heart was full of warmth.
But after that, he would be entangled secretly. After all, Lu Guixi didn't know his surname Chen. If he knew, would he still call him by his name like now?
Chen Mingyan tried hard to swallow what was in his mouth: "Gui Xi, don't call me that."
Lu Guixi was taken aback.
"I want to hear you call me Yan'er!" Chen Mingyan got off the stool, grabbed the corner of his clothes and said with sparkling eyes.
Lu Guixi: "...".
"You shouldn't call me by my name, you can call me brother." Lu Guixi tried to change the subject.
"Brother! Then quickly call me Yan'er!" Chen Mingyan said as kindly as possible.
Lu Guixi: "...".
This kid changed his tune really quickly.
Ming Yan's arms and legs were small, and he didn't let go of his clothes. Lu Guixi seemed to be able to see the two furry ears on the top of his head and the little tail behind him.Under such gazes, the words that could have been said without any pressure felt inexplicably ashamed.
He silently picked up a chopstick of meat and stuffed it into Chen Mingyan's mouth: "Eat."
(eleven)
Chen Mingyan liked Lu Guixi more and more.
He pretends to be silly and cute in front of Lu Guixi all day long, and occasionally deliberately creates some embarrassing scenes to see Lu Guixi worrying about him, and even bringing Lu Guixi looks a lot more "human" " breath.
"Guixi, if one day... Qinghe Gang is no longer around, where are you going?" Chen Mingyan asked.
Lu Guixi didn't answer, and asked after a while: "How could the Qinghe Gang not be here?"
Chen Mingyan raised his eyebrows, it was obviously a very handsome and evil move, but at his age, only innocence and childishness remained, and Lu Guixi really wanted to pinch it.
"Why is it impossible?"
"When the water is full, it will be full, when the moon is full, it will be weak, when it is extremely prosperous, it will decline, and when things are extremely extreme, they will be reversed. The current Qinghe Gang is in such a stage."
"It's not terrible to be at this stage. The terrible thing is that no one in the whole gang has discovered this. They are still immersed in the aura brought by money and power and are unwilling to withdraw."
Gui Xi is the only smart person left in the whole gang, but Gui Xi still doesn't care about these things.
Gui Xi is a stubborn person, he can't just watch him hang himself on this tree that should have been cut down a long time ago.
Lu Guixi stopped answering, and lowered his head in deep thought.
Many years later, when the Qinghe Gang was burned to ashes and ruins by a fire, Lu Guixi finally realized that although he was nine years older than Chen Mingyan, he could not see many things as clearly as he did.
------
Chen Mingyan finally figured out the answer to this question.
"I don't know where I can go, but the world is so big, there should be somewhere I can go."
The big deal is just like those characters written in the storybook, carrying his long knife to the rivers and lakes, drinking wine and singing long songs with one knife, enjoying a leisurely and unrestrained life.
"Guixi, you don't have nowhere to go." Chen Mingyan grabbed his hand and said seriously.
"You can come to me! I will live in a very big house for you, and I will have many servants to serve you. You have been with me for so many years, so let me accompany you for the rest of the day, okay?"
Lu Guixi slapped him: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"But... in a few years, you should get married, right?"
Chen Mingyan narrowed his eyes: "Yeah, it's time for me to get married, Guixi is not too young, should I also consider getting married?"
Lu Guixi choked a mouthful of white water into his throat: "What are you thinking, brat!"
Chen Mingyan clenched his fists, and decided to bury a few seeds of protection in his heart first: "Guixi, I am not letting you marry, but you are the deputy leader of the Qinghe Gang after all, and your status is very delicate. If you marry someone Ordinary people, what should you do if your opponent catches you and threatens you? What if you marry a Jianghu person, and the other party marries you because of your status?"
He watched Lu Guixi frown more and more, silently praised himself, and continued to add fuel to the fire: "What if he uses you to harm Qing Hebang?"
Although Lu Guixi doesn't like this place, but after all, it is the place where he grew up, and he still has feelings for him to some extent.
"People's hearts are the most unpredictable, but I'm sure I will devote my whole heart to you, and Guixi will also devote my whole heart to me, right?"
"So if you have someone you like, you must tell me first. I can't help you, but I can help you take a look first. I can see people very accurately! After all, you are my...brother." The word seemed to be picked out between the teeth, and it was extremely difficult to pronounce it.
Lu Guixi pondered for a while, and finally said seriously: "You are right."
Chen Mingyan was overjoyed!
"I made a decision".Chen Mingyan sat up straight and looked at him seriously.
"I still don't want to get married. Anyway, I didn't plan to get married."
Chen Mingyan: "!!!"
"Besides, I'm at this age, who will marry me?"
Chen Mingyan: Me! ! !look at me! ! !me! ! !
His heart was overwhelmed like thousands of troops galloping past, and he tried to put on an indifferent look on his face: "Marriage is a matter of course, and it is written in the court law! How can you say that if you don't get married, you won't get married?" Woolen cloth."
Lu Guixi didn't want to talk about his own affairs, so he patted Chen Mingyan's head: "I'm relieved when Yan'er grows up."
"When you have someone you like, don't forget to bring it for me to see."
Only then did Chen Mingyan know that Lu Guixi really didn't have any feelings for him in that regard.
(twelve)
He kept the secret from Lu Guixi for a long time, but finally he couldn't hide it anymore.
The word "imperial power" has completely become a joke. The power that the emperor should hold has been infiltrated and divided by these foreign ministers in the court. If it weren't for the whereabouts of Yuxi and the few princes who have not been found, they might directly force the emperor to abdicate.
The prince's actions are getting bigger and bigger, and several princes have been "accidentally" killed one after another. The sixth prince has been fighting with him for so many years, so he is naturally unwilling to let him monopolize the power. The eighth prince couldn't escape either, and he was pulled out of his memory.
Chen Mingyan received several urgent letters from his grandfather in a row. His whereabouts are not difficult to find out. Instead of letting someone who wants to find out his news and give him a blow, it is better for him to use the information that is still in the dark. Time to break the opponent's arm first.
But the way home...
Chen Mingyan felt regret for the first time.
His Gui Xi is a very gentle and reasonable person, as long as he exposes his difficulties and hard work one by one in front of the other party, Gui Xi will definitely not blame him, and even feel a little more distressed for him .
But... grasping the other party's weakness to win his tenderness... Chen Mingyan despises such a self.
He finally told Lu Guixi, without hiding a single word.
The little milk dog's ears drooped to the side of the head, and the tail that was usually flicking happily was no longer visible. The whole person was wrapped in regret and sadness. Lu Guixi was so distressed that he couldn't help but hug him in his arms. Li patted him on the back: "It's not your fault, it's a major matter that concerns the lives of your entire clan. It's right to hide it from people, and I won't blame you."
Not long after Chen Mingyan celebrated his 14th birthday, Lu Guixi seemed to have heard something bad about them, so he deliberately distanced himself from him. This was their rare close contact since then.Chen Mingyan hesitated for a long time before raising his arms to hug him back.
As he expected, instead of blaming him, Lu Guixi showed a little more affection and accommodating attitude towards him.For so many years, under his plan, Lu Guixi was almost isolated by the Qinghe gang, and he didn't care about being happy, so he simply brought a few people who were loyal to him and started working for Chen Mingyan.
Lu Guixi has a delicate mind and strong kung fu, and has been honed in the Jianghu for so long. He is familiar with the rules of light and dark in various routines, and he can do everything beautifully.As a sword, he couldn't be more perfect.
No, he is more perfect than a sword.
A sword has two edges. When others use the sword to defend against the enemy, they have to worry about whether the other edge will hurt themselves, but this problem will never appear on Lu Guixi.When he faces Chen Mingyan, his edges and corners will be automatically put away. He is the only person Chen Mingyan is willing to trust wholeheartedly and defenselessly.
No matter how difficult or tricky the matter is, as long as it is handed over to him, Chen Mingyan will have nothing to worry about.
Lu Guixi was running around the rivers and lakes, while Chen Mingyan contacted his grandfather's family behind his back, and secretly obtained his grandfather's military talisman while giving him advice to fight against the crown prince and the sixth prince.After a full two years of layout, the foreign leased private army was directly divided into pieces and entered the capital to encircle the palace.
The prince wanted both fame and power, and always wanted to have it both ways.On the one hand, he was afraid that people would say that his method of winning the throne was unfair, and on the other hand, he couldn't bear the old emperor's own funeral, but he, Chen Mingyan, was not afraid of anything.
Can fame be eaten?
He was afraid that Lu Guixi would leave him.
But he couldn't wait any longer, he could only take a gamble, God's will, he won.
(thirteen)
After everything was settled, Lu Guixi returned to the Qinghe Gang alone.
During the period when he entered Beijing, the Qinghe gang suffered a vendetta, and a fire burned everything, everyone died cleanly, and no one escaped.
In the past few years, the Qinghe Gang has grown in strength but they have not known how to restrain themselves at all, and have offended many people one after another.Lu Ren died of an old injury a few years ago. A group of people who had been eyeing him for a long time swarmed forward, but everyone in the gang was still dividing their resources and property without realizing it.
At that time, Lu Guixi was hiding in the Sixth Prince's Mansion and devoted himself to tracking down Yuxi's whereabouts. In order to prevent exposure, he directly cut off everyone's news. By the time he knew about it, it was too late.
After standing on the ruins of the Qinghe Gang for a day, he finally realized that he really had nowhere to go.
(fourteen)
Chen Mingyan once told him that if he had nowhere to go in the future, he would come to him.
But today's Chen Mingyan is already the emperor.
Lu Guixi followed him to investigate the late emperor's affairs, and found a lot of dirt under the flowers. Chen Mingyan didn't know how difficult it would be to make such a big mess by himself, and it was almost difficult every step of the way.
How could he trouble him.
Lu Guixi suppressed his heart, and started to walk around with his knife as he imagined back then. When he saw injustice, he drew his knife to help. After the evidence of the ledger was piled up, a secret letter was sent to the capital.
Corrupt officials are often in groups, and no one in the court can stand up to them, how dare they be so presumptuous.These things have always affected the whole body, Chen Mingyan has long disliked those officials in the court, he will use these things sooner or later.
(fifteen)
After Chen Mingyan ascended the throne, Lu Guixi went to the palace once. At that time, Chen Mingyan sent several secret letters asking him to come. He thought something happened.
You can't be self-willed when you become an emperor. You have to listen to a bunch of old pedants spitting at each other with a straight face all day long. After being a commoner, he escaped from the palace where he was under house arrest, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Lu Guixi always felt that this person was hiding in a corner, waiting for the fish to die.
He hurried into the city, only then did he see Yan Falcon that Chen Mingyan showed him like a baby.
The first time Chen Mingyan saw this Yan Falcon, he felt like Lu Guixi, beautiful and proud.
He spent more than a dozen nights with that falcon without sleep, and worked hard to tame this violent little guy and send it to Lu Guixi, in order to tell him: "I can tame such a fierce falcon!" , let alone you?"
But Lu Guixi didn't think about that at all, he wasted all his thoughts in vain.
There were many times when he couldn't control himself and wanted to put Lu Guixi on the dragon bed to sleep, and wanted to tie him to the bed and use various means to bully him until he agreed to become his queen.But with so many fluctuations in the court, Chen Mingyan couldn't muster up the courage to pierce the film again.
(sixteen)
Lu Guixi didn't stay in the palace for too long. Although the palace is a magnificent place, he was always so depressed that he couldn't breathe.
Chen Mingyan has no wife and no children, and at such an age, many people are staring at the seat next to him.After all, Lu Guixi is a man who can marry, and he ran into a lot of trouble after entering and exiting the palace a few times.
Aristocratic daughters and great ladies, the families behind them are all intertwined and powerful, and whoever Chen Mingyan is accepted will stabilize the throne a lot.
He didn't know the reason for his resignation.Chen Mingyan was reviewing the memorial at that time, and a long cinnabar imprint was drawn on the pen after he folded it. He continued to correct a few lines as if nothing had happened, nodded and agreed.
Lu Guixi then left.
Chen Mingyan gathered power to dispose of ministers little by little, and issued more and more reform edicts, which more or less involved the interests of those aristocratic families in the court. Lu Guixi was very worried when he heard the new edicts.
It's not that he doesn't support the other party, it's just that Chen Mingyan has only been on the throne for a few years, and reforms have begun before his seat is firmly established. What if these people backlash? !
Chen Mingyan told him that reform needs to be done step by step. He has always been a person who is not [-]% sure that he will not make a move. Isn't his current approach too rash and radical?The more Lu Guixi thought about it, the more worried she became, and when she turned around, she forgot where she originally planned to go and went back to the capital.
Yunze is still so prosperous, there is not much difference from when he left.
He didn't want Chen Mingyan to know that no one had informed him that he had secretly returned to the palace.
The late emperor had already sneaked in several times when he was in power. He had already memorized the roads in the palace, and he had set the patrol time and route of the guards in the palace. go in.
He first arrived at Chen Mingyan's bedroom, where there were only a few faint candles flickering.
His Yan'er was a good emperor, and the treasury was ruined and empty, so he set an example to increase revenue and reduce expenditure to reduce expenses.Lu Guixi just took a glance and then turned and left. If Chen Mingyan was resting in the bedroom, there would definitely not be only these people and these few candles here.
Lu Guixi just wanted to confirm Chen Mingyan's safety, and he specially chose the palace where he came in the middle of the night. He just wanted to take a sneak peek at him, but he didn't expect that the other party was not in the palace at this time...
Lu Guixi rummaged from room to room, and finally found the figure of the other party in the imperial study.
He seemed to have just finished his work, and followed a young eunuch out of the door of the imperial study.The lantern in the hand of the little eunuch who was leading the way gave off a faint light, and the night was already extremely dark, so a little light could barely illuminate the road in front of him and the people in front of him.
Chen Mingyan has grown up a lot, and when he is in front of him, he is always obedient and obedient like a kid next door. At this time, his usual hippie smile has faded away, and his face is straight and calm... He is wearing a black embroidered dragon Wearing regular clothes, he looks calm and calm from a distance.
That was a look that Lu Guixi had never seen before.
Chen Mingyan is only eighteen this year, it's still too early to be an emperor.
But this age is enough for the folks to stand on their own and become the head of the family.
No matter how big or tall Chen Mingyan is, no matter how much talent he shows, he is still a child in Lu Guixi's eyes.He knew the child's difficulties and difficulties, and he always felt that he had to protect him and help him more, but now that he saw Chen Mingyan's appearance with his own eyes, Lu Guixi finally realized that this child had already grown up.
Unbeknownst to him, this child has grown into a king of a country.
He is smart and powerful, and a single thought determines the life and death of countless people.
Lu Guixi met the first emperor, although the man was hollowed out by drinking and having fun, his body was full of fat, his feet were floating, his eyes were dull, but he could still vaguely see the handsome appearance of the royal family.Chen Mingyan hated this father so much that he wanted to kill the king and father, but the blood relationship between the two of them was unbroken.
Chen Mingyan always has the shadow of his father.
His features are handsome and his behavior is flamboyant. Although he can't see much of the domineering that an emperor should have, he can already vaguely glimpse a trace.
Every move, every word and every action, he will give orders with confidence, and he will become a real and well-deserved emperor in a short time.
His kids have grown up.
Lu Guixi leaned against the back of the rockery, only glanced at it before turning his head away, feeling empty in his heart.He didn't know where his sense of loss came from, but he just took a deep breath, sighed, turned and left.
Chen Mingyan followed behind the little eunuch, and seemed to inadvertently turn his head in the direction of the rockery.
([-])
Lu Guixi left the palace and wandered around the capital aimlessly. He was in a mess, not knowing where to go or what to do.Chen Mingyan said that he could find him, but those were all children's jokes. He has his own life now, like two intersecting straight lines. After missing the intersection point, they will go their own way. Two completely different directions.
It is said that the emperor's heart is the most unpredictable. Lu Guixi knows so many secrets that cannot be revealed to the world. Others should have worried that the birds would hide everything, but Lu Guixi is not afraid of anything.
Chen Mingyan is good at guessing people's hearts, and Lu Guixi is just as he guessed, there is no existence in this world that he cares about.
The first half of his life was handed over to Lu Ren, and the second half of his life was handed over to Chen Mingyan.
The sword has won countless battles for its master, even if it is cut and scarred, it will not complain when the master wants to break it.
Even if Chen Mingyan handed him a glass of poisoned wine for him to drink...he would not resist.
Lu Guixi walked around most of Yunze, the places he passed were all places that Chen Mingyan had been with him before he took the throne, until he turned into a small alley, and then suddenly stopped in his tracks.
From the time he left the palace gate, the people behind him followed him all the time.
After following so many streets, I am not too tired.
Lu Guixi continued to walk into the alley, and for some reason, the scene he saw for the first time suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.He suddenly understood that no matter what Chen Mingyan became, he was the child who stood alone in the lobby and was scrutinized by others when he was a child, he would tremble and hesitate whether to grab the corner of his clothes and call him brother softly.
He can even hand over his life to Chen Mingyan, so what is there to be afraid of now.
Lu Guixi let go of all his defenses, and let the person behind him knock him unconscious with a stick.
(Eighteen)
The cold tea splashed on his face, Lu Guixi gradually regained consciousness.
He opened his eyes, and a familiar face came into view.
Chen... What's wrong with Chenming?
In short, it is Chen Mingyan's sixth brother.
"You don't seem surprised to see it's me." The man stood up and refilled a cup of tea, shaking it back and forth but refusing to drink it.
"Who else but you?" Lu Guixi said indifferently.
"That's right." The man sneered: "The prince was killed by you, and I'm the only one left."
"The prince committed suicide." Lu Guixi said seriously.
"Huh?" The sixth prince seemed to have heard some extremely funny joke, and the whole body was shaking while laughing.
"I have been fighting with the prince for so many years, and no one knows him better than me."
"He is a man who values his life more than anything else. As long as he is given a chance to live, he is willing to be a dog licking shoes. How could he commit suicide?"
"My imperial brother just doesn't want the notoriety of murdering his brother. What kind of ecstasy soup did he pour on you? Why do you believe him in everything?"
Lu Guixi turned his head and did not answer.
"You are always like this, indifferent. Except for my emperor brother, you are not interested in anything else."He sighed.
"Hey." The sixth prince squatted in front of him: "You are in my hands now, can't you be more serious?"
Lu Guixi still looked at him expressionlessly.
"I said no matter what, I can't find your whereabouts. I didn't expect you to be so courageous that you dared to hide directly in the imperial city."
"Of course, the most dangerous place is the safest, this is what you taught me. Didn't you also hide in my mansion back then?".He opened Lu Guixi's mouth and poured the tea into it: "Don't be afraid, this is the medicine of Sangong, it's not poisonous."
"My imperial brother doesn't know when he will get the news of your disappearance. There is still a lot of time before that."
The sixth prince withdrew his servants: "Let's play."
([-])
The sixth prince also died, a very familiar way of death.
He was strangled to death by twisting long strips of cloth around his neck.
It may be that seeing the throne in his pocket being taken away by a younger brother he has looked down on since he was a child, or it may be that there is a big gap from the prince who is under one person and above ten thousand to a criminal, the sixth prince is a little abnormal up.
He was thinking about how to get Lu Guixi to lure Chen Mingyan out, thinking about how Chen Mingyan knelt down to him and begged for mercy, his eyes were red and everyone was in trouble, how could even Lu Guixi be caught by him so easily This issue was not considered.
Lu Guixi helped Chen Mingyan solve this serious problem, turned around and wanted to escape, but the medicine in the tea of the Sixth Prince was very effective, and he was discovered by the guards outside after only a few steps. He was hacked and injured all over his body.
The sixth prince has no strength to restrain a chicken, and he doesn't know any kung fu, but the guards outside are all highly skilled in martial arts.Lu Guixi was besieged by several people, seeing the opponent's knife slashed at him, he still had the heart to think——
This courtyard seems to belong to a wealthy businessman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Without his support, the treasury can last for a long time.

The door in front of him was kicked open, and the big knife that fell towards him was shot at an angle by a sword.Lu Guixi turned his head, and the soldier in front of him was a confidant he brought out from the Qinghe Gang, and Chen Mingyan asked him to be responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial city.
If he knew about Chen Mingyan, he must also know about it. At this moment, Lu Guixi didn't want to see him, so he simply took advantage of the chaos and fled the scene.
Chen Mingyan seemed to have sensed something from his attitude. The guards in the capital defaulted to opening a passage for him to escape, and then the city was put under martial law.
Even the sixth prince who was demoted as a sinner has royal blood after all, and many people in the court tried their best to catch him as a murderer.
Lu Guixi absconded all the way north until he fled to that unknown town, where he met the son of the Xue family whom he had known when he was the deputy leader of the Qinghe gang and when he was wandering the rivers and lakes with Chen Mingyan.He knew Xue Yu's character well, and thought that this "journey" would come to an end, but he didn't expect to be transferred out of the town by mysterious means and fled to the Lu family in the small village.
The village is small but comfortable and peaceful, which is just right for the elderly.Lu Guixi's temperament is always at ease, staying in such a place with green mountains and green waters will make him feel good unconsciously. Many times he sits in his room, takes a piece of wood to carve a small figure of Chen Mingyan, and once carved Just the whole day.
The two masters of the Lu family are easy to get along with.He also saw that Lu Ciyu was smart, but he was extremely lazy, as long as others didn't take the initiative to provoke him, his daily routine would be to sleep with Lin Chi in his arms.
Just stay here.
Many times he had this thought in his heart.
Chen Mingyan sent him a lot of money, and when he chatted with Lin Chi several times, he wanted to ask to buy a yard, but he swallowed the words several times.
He always felt like he didn't belong here.
Until a long time later, he was really tied to the bed by that brat and tortured and forced by all kinds of perverted and terrible methods until he agreed to become his queen, until he changed into a bright red wedding dress and entered the ancestral temple with him to meet the ancestors of the Chen dynasty. Only then did Lu Guixi understand.
It doesn't matter how far the mountain road is, the place where there is Chen Mingyan is his home.
From that day on, Lu Guixi had a little tail behind him.
The child's surname is Ming and his name is Yan. His ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River. His family suffered a catastrophe a month ago.His grandfather had saved the life of Lu Ren, who had just entered the rivers and lakes, and entrusted the child to Lu Ren to take care of him during a crisis.
But what kind of personality is Lu Ren? He has repaid the kindness of the other party by bringing him back. As for whether the child lives or dies, what does it matter to him?Lu Guixi knew it well, if he didn't agree then, the child in front of him would follow his old path and be thrown into the martial arts hall to fend for himself.
Thinking that such a timid little guy would become like him when he grows up, Lu Guixi's heart suddenly softened.
Not to mention the expensive clothes, the little guy's behavior reveals the four characters of etiquette and self-cultivation. At first glance, he looks like a little son from a big family. Lu Guixi can't help but feel a little worried-he doesn't know how to take care of him.
Seeing that he agreed, Lu Ren waved his hands casually to signal everyone to leave, with a calm attitude as if he had never considered the problem of Lu Guixi not answering at all.
The smiles on everyone's faces with reasons for their own reasons gradually dissipated. Lu Guixi pumped himself up, walked up to the child's side and squatted down, holding back for a long time and almost using the most gentle voice in his life: "In the future Just follow me, okay?"
The little guy stared at him with a pair of watery eyes. He stretched out his two little hands several times and then hesitated to withdraw them. Lu Guixi looked at that pitiful look and felt nervous for him. Finally, when Chen Mingyan wanted to withdraw his hands again, Lu Gui Xi finally couldn't control himself, and reached out to hold his hand.
That year, Lu Guixi had just turned seventeen, and Chen Mingyan hadn't turned nine years old.
(Eight)
When meeting for the first time, Chen Mingyan felt that the person in front of him was not a bad person.
His intuition has always been surprisingly accurate.
When I was young, I thought there was something wrong with a court lady, but within a few years, she was found out to be the "eye" sent by another palace. When I grew up, I felt that there was something wrong with the cup in front of me. Sure enough, the emperor was drinking from the cup. Not long after drinking tea, he died of poisoning.
It was also thanks to this miraculous intuition that he and his concubine could spend so many years in the palace safe and sound.
It's a pity that intuition doesn't always work.
His father, the current emperor, was dissolute and disregarded state affairs, and there were so many beauties in the harem that even the emperor himself could not count them.Several empresses with powerful foreign relatives fought in the palace all day long. If it wasn't for Chen Mingyan's grandfather's family who controlled more than half of the army in the Chen Dynasty, their mother and son would have been determined to get rid of them long ago.
The grandfather exchanged his "death" with the prime minister on the condition of nearly one-third of the military power. Everyone in the court knew that he had faked his death, but only his biological father did not know it.
He followed Lu Ren to the Qinghe Gang, showing a cowardly appearance on the way.His mother and concubine hanged herself in the palace, and he came to such a strange place alone... No matter how mature his heart is, he is still just an eight-year-old child, standing in the empty lobby and accepting all kinds of people from all directions. Looking around, the five fingers covered by the long sleeves that were hanging down because they didn't fit tightly clenched into fists.
Lu Guixi is really a very simple person, when he squatted beside him and said that, Chen Mingyan almost couldn't hold back his pretense and laughed out loud.
Obviously, he was still saying "Yes" in a cold tone that seemed to be able to directly form ice balls just now, but the next moment he tried to hold back such a gentle sentence...
This is the special tenderness that belongs to this person alone.
Chen Mingyan held back the hand he extended, and showed a big smile at the person without any concealment.
He likes gentle people, gentle and obedient people.
(nine)
At first, Chen Mingyan was very curious about how Lu Guixi managed to live so long in this gang.Everyone here has their own little calculations, only Lu Guixi treats others openly and honestly. How can such a ridiculous personality not be killed?
Later he also understood that it was due to Lu Guixi's character.
No matter who in the Qinghe gang can get a lot of benefits from him, leaving Lu Guixi is equivalent to having an extra thug who can be called at any time, a sharp weapon, and a good place to shirk responsibility. If someone wants to touch him, Others in the Qinghe Gang may not agree.
He had suffered a lot on weekdays, and when he was faced with a major crisis, the other members of the gang would take the initiative to solve it for him. This seemed to have formed a tacit understanding among the middle and upper echelons of the gang.
Back and forth, Lu Guixi owed nothing to anyone, and no one else owed him.
This might be his way of life.
Even after understanding all this, Chen Mingyan still felt that Lu Guixi's thinking was very incomprehensible.
He has always been a typical example of not necessarily repaying favors but repaying grudges doubled. Others made him suffer. Chen Mingyan smiled and said nothing. How to calculate back.
Lu Guixi really didn't care.
It was not until a long time later that Chen Mingyan realized that he really didn't care.
Lu Guixi looks cool and cold, but his personality is not bad at all. There is really nothing he cares about in this world.
What he owed Qinghebang to Lu Ren had already been paid off, and he was almost floating in the world like a ghost all day long.
Lu Guixi's life is too monotonous, and when he has nothing to do, he can even sit in the room alone for a whole day with no expression on his face.Hmm...something like a shadow puppeteer recruited to perform in the palace on the Empress Dowager's birthday. Every move has to be manipulated and someone gives him orders. When there is no order, it is placed in a box to collect dust and dust.
There is no desire in his heart.Whether it's for people or things, it doesn't matter what it is, so he doesn't care.
It doesn't matter even if they are designed to die in the next moment, because they don't know the meaning of living.
Chen Mingyan likes digging into people's hearts the most, and he was shocked when he fumbled a little bit for the idea of returning home.
How on earth was this person raised?
As a person, Lu Guixi is obviously unqualified, but as a sword, he is the dream of countless people in power.
Would you like to be my sword and cut through the thorns and thorns for me?
Such a small seed gradually took root and sprouted in his heart.
(ten)
The longer he spends with Lu Guixi, the deeper Chen Mingyan understands him.
For example, there are some things that Lu Guixi knows in his heart, but he doesn't care so he suffers from this, and some things are just fooled by him in a daze.
Chen Mingyan sighed helplessly, and wrinkled his bun face: "Guixi, that person is obviously cheating on you! Didn't you even react?"
Lu Guixi looked puzzled: "When?!"
Chen Mingyan lay on the table and did not speak.
Can this person stop being shrewd in big things and confused in small things...
Don't you even know you've been extorted three or two taels of silver for no reason!
Lu Guixi thought for a long time before realizing what he was referring to: "But...forget it."
He took the dish that was just brought up by Xiaoer at the side, picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into Chen Mingyan's mouth: "Mingyan, try it?"
This was an embarrassing thing about Chen Mingyan when he was a child. Not long after he followed Lu Guixi at that time, he tested Lu Guixi many times overtly and secretly, and finally came to the conclusion that "this person is sincerely towards him". Heat almost didn't cry.
Lu Guixi looked at him with a disheveled look on his face, and Chen Mingyan blurted out in a panic: "It's Guixi's cooking that's so delicious! It's so delicious that I'm crying!"
Lu Guixi's face was full of disbelief, he tasted his own dark food in silence, and has been working on "adjusting" Chen Mingyan's taste since then.
Everywhere he went, he would order a lot of local specialties and stuff them into Chen Mingyan's mouth one by one, just trying to find something "delicious" for him to eat.
Chen Mingyan gained a lot of weight in just a few months.
He was thinking of refusing, but when Lu Guixi called him Ming Yan, he couldn't say anything.
Although his name was Chen Mingyan, Chen was a surname that only the royal family could use, so he used his first name directly, but Lu Guixi always thought his name was Mingyan.
Every time he heard the other party calling him like this, Chen Mingyan felt a faint sense of satisfaction in his heart, as if the other party was calling him very intimately, and his heart was full of warmth.
But after that, he would be entangled secretly. After all, Lu Guixi didn't know his surname Chen. If he knew, would he still call him by his name like now?
Chen Mingyan tried hard to swallow what was in his mouth: "Gui Xi, don't call me that."
Lu Guixi was taken aback.
"I want to hear you call me Yan'er!" Chen Mingyan got off the stool, grabbed the corner of his clothes and said with sparkling eyes.
Lu Guixi: "...".
"You shouldn't call me by my name, you can call me brother." Lu Guixi tried to change the subject.
"Brother! Then quickly call me Yan'er!" Chen Mingyan said as kindly as possible.
Lu Guixi: "...".
This kid changed his tune really quickly.
Ming Yan's arms and legs were small, and he didn't let go of his clothes. Lu Guixi seemed to be able to see the two furry ears on the top of his head and the little tail behind him.Under such gazes, the words that could have been said without any pressure felt inexplicably ashamed.
He silently picked up a chopstick of meat and stuffed it into Chen Mingyan's mouth: "Eat."
(eleven)
Chen Mingyan liked Lu Guixi more and more.
He pretends to be silly and cute in front of Lu Guixi all day long, and occasionally deliberately creates some embarrassing scenes to see Lu Guixi worrying about him, and even bringing Lu Guixi looks a lot more "human" " breath.
"Guixi, if one day... Qinghe Gang is no longer around, where are you going?" Chen Mingyan asked.
Lu Guixi didn't answer, and asked after a while: "How could the Qinghe Gang not be here?"
Chen Mingyan raised his eyebrows, it was obviously a very handsome and evil move, but at his age, only innocence and childishness remained, and Lu Guixi really wanted to pinch it.
"Why is it impossible?"
"When the water is full, it will be full, when the moon is full, it will be weak, when it is extremely prosperous, it will decline, and when things are extremely extreme, they will be reversed. The current Qinghe Gang is in such a stage."
"It's not terrible to be at this stage. The terrible thing is that no one in the whole gang has discovered this. They are still immersed in the aura brought by money and power and are unwilling to withdraw."
Gui Xi is the only smart person left in the whole gang, but Gui Xi still doesn't care about these things.
Gui Xi is a stubborn person, he can't just watch him hang himself on this tree that should have been cut down a long time ago.
Lu Guixi stopped answering, and lowered his head in deep thought.
Many years later, when the Qinghe Gang was burned to ashes and ruins by a fire, Lu Guixi finally realized that although he was nine years older than Chen Mingyan, he could not see many things as clearly as he did.
------
Chen Mingyan finally figured out the answer to this question.
"I don't know where I can go, but the world is so big, there should be somewhere I can go."
The big deal is just like those characters written in the storybook, carrying his long knife to the rivers and lakes, drinking wine and singing long songs with one knife, enjoying a leisurely and unrestrained life.
"Guixi, you don't have nowhere to go." Chen Mingyan grabbed his hand and said seriously.
"You can come to me! I will live in a very big house for you, and I will have many servants to serve you. You have been with me for so many years, so let me accompany you for the rest of the day, okay?"
Lu Guixi slapped him: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"But... in a few years, you should get married, right?"
Chen Mingyan narrowed his eyes: "Yeah, it's time for me to get married, Guixi is not too young, should I also consider getting married?"
Lu Guixi choked a mouthful of white water into his throat: "What are you thinking, brat!"
Chen Mingyan clenched his fists, and decided to bury a few seeds of protection in his heart first: "Guixi, I am not letting you marry, but you are the deputy leader of the Qinghe Gang after all, and your status is very delicate. If you marry someone Ordinary people, what should you do if your opponent catches you and threatens you? What if you marry a Jianghu person, and the other party marries you because of your status?"
He watched Lu Guixi frown more and more, silently praised himself, and continued to add fuel to the fire: "What if he uses you to harm Qing Hebang?"
Although Lu Guixi doesn't like this place, but after all, it is the place where he grew up, and he still has feelings for him to some extent.
"People's hearts are the most unpredictable, but I'm sure I will devote my whole heart to you, and Guixi will also devote my whole heart to me, right?"
"So if you have someone you like, you must tell me first. I can't help you, but I can help you take a look first. I can see people very accurately! After all, you are my...brother." The word seemed to be picked out between the teeth, and it was extremely difficult to pronounce it.
Lu Guixi pondered for a while, and finally said seriously: "You are right."
Chen Mingyan was overjoyed!
"I made a decision".Chen Mingyan sat up straight and looked at him seriously.
"I still don't want to get married. Anyway, I didn't plan to get married."
Chen Mingyan: "!!!"
"Besides, I'm at this age, who will marry me?"
Chen Mingyan: Me! ! !look at me! ! !me! ! !
His heart was overwhelmed like thousands of troops galloping past, and he tried to put on an indifferent look on his face: "Marriage is a matter of course, and it is written in the court law! How can you say that if you don't get married, you won't get married?" Woolen cloth."
Lu Guixi didn't want to talk about his own affairs, so he patted Chen Mingyan's head: "I'm relieved when Yan'er grows up."
"When you have someone you like, don't forget to bring it for me to see."
Only then did Chen Mingyan know that Lu Guixi really didn't have any feelings for him in that regard.
(twelve)
He kept the secret from Lu Guixi for a long time, but finally he couldn't hide it anymore.
The word "imperial power" has completely become a joke. The power that the emperor should hold has been infiltrated and divided by these foreign ministers in the court. If it weren't for the whereabouts of Yuxi and the few princes who have not been found, they might directly force the emperor to abdicate.
The prince's actions are getting bigger and bigger, and several princes have been "accidentally" killed one after another. The sixth prince has been fighting with him for so many years, so he is naturally unwilling to let him monopolize the power. The eighth prince couldn't escape either, and he was pulled out of his memory.
Chen Mingyan received several urgent letters from his grandfather in a row. His whereabouts are not difficult to find out. Instead of letting someone who wants to find out his news and give him a blow, it is better for him to use the information that is still in the dark. Time to break the opponent's arm first.
But the way home...
Chen Mingyan felt regret for the first time.
His Gui Xi is a very gentle and reasonable person, as long as he exposes his difficulties and hard work one by one in front of the other party, Gui Xi will definitely not blame him, and even feel a little more distressed for him .
But... grasping the other party's weakness to win his tenderness... Chen Mingyan despises such a self.
He finally told Lu Guixi, without hiding a single word.
The little milk dog's ears drooped to the side of the head, and the tail that was usually flicking happily was no longer visible. The whole person was wrapped in regret and sadness. Lu Guixi was so distressed that he couldn't help but hug him in his arms. Li patted him on the back: "It's not your fault, it's a major matter that concerns the lives of your entire clan. It's right to hide it from people, and I won't blame you."
Not long after Chen Mingyan celebrated his 14th birthday, Lu Guixi seemed to have heard something bad about them, so he deliberately distanced himself from him. This was their rare close contact since then.Chen Mingyan hesitated for a long time before raising his arms to hug him back.
As he expected, instead of blaming him, Lu Guixi showed a little more affection and accommodating attitude towards him.For so many years, under his plan, Lu Guixi was almost isolated by the Qinghe gang, and he didn't care about being happy, so he simply brought a few people who were loyal to him and started working for Chen Mingyan.
Lu Guixi has a delicate mind and strong kung fu, and has been honed in the Jianghu for so long. He is familiar with the rules of light and dark in various routines, and he can do everything beautifully.As a sword, he couldn't be more perfect.
No, he is more perfect than a sword.
A sword has two edges. When others use the sword to defend against the enemy, they have to worry about whether the other edge will hurt themselves, but this problem will never appear on Lu Guixi.When he faces Chen Mingyan, his edges and corners will be automatically put away. He is the only person Chen Mingyan is willing to trust wholeheartedly and defenselessly.
No matter how difficult or tricky the matter is, as long as it is handed over to him, Chen Mingyan will have nothing to worry about.
Lu Guixi was running around the rivers and lakes, while Chen Mingyan contacted his grandfather's family behind his back, and secretly obtained his grandfather's military talisman while giving him advice to fight against the crown prince and the sixth prince.After a full two years of layout, the foreign leased private army was directly divided into pieces and entered the capital to encircle the palace.
The prince wanted both fame and power, and always wanted to have it both ways.On the one hand, he was afraid that people would say that his method of winning the throne was unfair, and on the other hand, he couldn't bear the old emperor's own funeral, but he, Chen Mingyan, was not afraid of anything.
Can fame be eaten?
He was afraid that Lu Guixi would leave him.
But he couldn't wait any longer, he could only take a gamble, God's will, he won.
(thirteen)
After everything was settled, Lu Guixi returned to the Qinghe Gang alone.
During the period when he entered Beijing, the Qinghe gang suffered a vendetta, and a fire burned everything, everyone died cleanly, and no one escaped.
In the past few years, the Qinghe Gang has grown in strength but they have not known how to restrain themselves at all, and have offended many people one after another.Lu Ren died of an old injury a few years ago. A group of people who had been eyeing him for a long time swarmed forward, but everyone in the gang was still dividing their resources and property without realizing it.
At that time, Lu Guixi was hiding in the Sixth Prince's Mansion and devoted himself to tracking down Yuxi's whereabouts. In order to prevent exposure, he directly cut off everyone's news. By the time he knew about it, it was too late.
After standing on the ruins of the Qinghe Gang for a day, he finally realized that he really had nowhere to go.
(fourteen)
Chen Mingyan once told him that if he had nowhere to go in the future, he would come to him.
But today's Chen Mingyan is already the emperor.
Lu Guixi followed him to investigate the late emperor's affairs, and found a lot of dirt under the flowers. Chen Mingyan didn't know how difficult it would be to make such a big mess by himself, and it was almost difficult every step of the way.
How could he trouble him.
Lu Guixi suppressed his heart, and started to walk around with his knife as he imagined back then. When he saw injustice, he drew his knife to help. After the evidence of the ledger was piled up, a secret letter was sent to the capital.
Corrupt officials are often in groups, and no one in the court can stand up to them, how dare they be so presumptuous.These things have always affected the whole body, Chen Mingyan has long disliked those officials in the court, he will use these things sooner or later.
(fifteen)
After Chen Mingyan ascended the throne, Lu Guixi went to the palace once. At that time, Chen Mingyan sent several secret letters asking him to come. He thought something happened.
You can't be self-willed when you become an emperor. You have to listen to a bunch of old pedants spitting at each other with a straight face all day long. After being a commoner, he escaped from the palace where he was under house arrest, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Lu Guixi always felt that this person was hiding in a corner, waiting for the fish to die.
He hurried into the city, only then did he see Yan Falcon that Chen Mingyan showed him like a baby.
The first time Chen Mingyan saw this Yan Falcon, he felt like Lu Guixi, beautiful and proud.
He spent more than a dozen nights with that falcon without sleep, and worked hard to tame this violent little guy and send it to Lu Guixi, in order to tell him: "I can tame such a fierce falcon!" , let alone you?"
But Lu Guixi didn't think about that at all, he wasted all his thoughts in vain.
There were many times when he couldn't control himself and wanted to put Lu Guixi on the dragon bed to sleep, and wanted to tie him to the bed and use various means to bully him until he agreed to become his queen.But with so many fluctuations in the court, Chen Mingyan couldn't muster up the courage to pierce the film again.
(sixteen)
Lu Guixi didn't stay in the palace for too long. Although the palace is a magnificent place, he was always so depressed that he couldn't breathe.
Chen Mingyan has no wife and no children, and at such an age, many people are staring at the seat next to him.After all, Lu Guixi is a man who can marry, and he ran into a lot of trouble after entering and exiting the palace a few times.
Aristocratic daughters and great ladies, the families behind them are all intertwined and powerful, and whoever Chen Mingyan is accepted will stabilize the throne a lot.
He didn't know the reason for his resignation.Chen Mingyan was reviewing the memorial at that time, and a long cinnabar imprint was drawn on the pen after he folded it. He continued to correct a few lines as if nothing had happened, nodded and agreed.
Lu Guixi then left.
Chen Mingyan gathered power to dispose of ministers little by little, and issued more and more reform edicts, which more or less involved the interests of those aristocratic families in the court. Lu Guixi was very worried when he heard the new edicts.
It's not that he doesn't support the other party, it's just that Chen Mingyan has only been on the throne for a few years, and reforms have begun before his seat is firmly established. What if these people backlash? !
Chen Mingyan told him that reform needs to be done step by step. He has always been a person who is not [-]% sure that he will not make a move. Isn't his current approach too rash and radical?The more Lu Guixi thought about it, the more worried she became, and when she turned around, she forgot where she originally planned to go and went back to the capital.
Yunze is still so prosperous, there is not much difference from when he left.
He didn't want Chen Mingyan to know that no one had informed him that he had secretly returned to the palace.
The late emperor had already sneaked in several times when he was in power. He had already memorized the roads in the palace, and he had set the patrol time and route of the guards in the palace. go in.
He first arrived at Chen Mingyan's bedroom, where there were only a few faint candles flickering.
His Yan'er was a good emperor, and the treasury was ruined and empty, so he set an example to increase revenue and reduce expenditure to reduce expenses.Lu Guixi just took a glance and then turned and left. If Chen Mingyan was resting in the bedroom, there would definitely not be only these people and these few candles here.
Lu Guixi just wanted to confirm Chen Mingyan's safety, and he specially chose the palace where he came in the middle of the night. He just wanted to take a sneak peek at him, but he didn't expect that the other party was not in the palace at this time...
Lu Guixi rummaged from room to room, and finally found the figure of the other party in the imperial study.
He seemed to have just finished his work, and followed a young eunuch out of the door of the imperial study.The lantern in the hand of the little eunuch who was leading the way gave off a faint light, and the night was already extremely dark, so a little light could barely illuminate the road in front of him and the people in front of him.
Chen Mingyan has grown up a lot, and when he is in front of him, he is always obedient and obedient like a kid next door. At this time, his usual hippie smile has faded away, and his face is straight and calm... He is wearing a black embroidered dragon Wearing regular clothes, he looks calm and calm from a distance.
That was a look that Lu Guixi had never seen before.
Chen Mingyan is only eighteen this year, it's still too early to be an emperor.
But this age is enough for the folks to stand on their own and become the head of the family.
No matter how big or tall Chen Mingyan is, no matter how much talent he shows, he is still a child in Lu Guixi's eyes.He knew the child's difficulties and difficulties, and he always felt that he had to protect him and help him more, but now that he saw Chen Mingyan's appearance with his own eyes, Lu Guixi finally realized that this child had already grown up.
Unbeknownst to him, this child has grown into a king of a country.
He is smart and powerful, and a single thought determines the life and death of countless people.
Lu Guixi met the first emperor, although the man was hollowed out by drinking and having fun, his body was full of fat, his feet were floating, his eyes were dull, but he could still vaguely see the handsome appearance of the royal family.Chen Mingyan hated this father so much that he wanted to kill the king and father, but the blood relationship between the two of them was unbroken.
Chen Mingyan always has the shadow of his father.
His features are handsome and his behavior is flamboyant. Although he can't see much of the domineering that an emperor should have, he can already vaguely glimpse a trace.
Every move, every word and every action, he will give orders with confidence, and he will become a real and well-deserved emperor in a short time.
His kids have grown up.
Lu Guixi leaned against the back of the rockery, only glanced at it before turning his head away, feeling empty in his heart.He didn't know where his sense of loss came from, but he just took a deep breath, sighed, turned and left.
Chen Mingyan followed behind the little eunuch, and seemed to inadvertently turn his head in the direction of the rockery.
([-])
Lu Guixi left the palace and wandered around the capital aimlessly. He was in a mess, not knowing where to go or what to do.Chen Mingyan said that he could find him, but those were all children's jokes. He has his own life now, like two intersecting straight lines. After missing the intersection point, they will go their own way. Two completely different directions.
It is said that the emperor's heart is the most unpredictable. Lu Guixi knows so many secrets that cannot be revealed to the world. Others should have worried that the birds would hide everything, but Lu Guixi is not afraid of anything.
Chen Mingyan is good at guessing people's hearts, and Lu Guixi is just as he guessed, there is no existence in this world that he cares about.
The first half of his life was handed over to Lu Ren, and the second half of his life was handed over to Chen Mingyan.
The sword has won countless battles for its master, even if it is cut and scarred, it will not complain when the master wants to break it.
Even if Chen Mingyan handed him a glass of poisoned wine for him to drink...he would not resist.
Lu Guixi walked around most of Yunze, the places he passed were all places that Chen Mingyan had been with him before he took the throne, until he turned into a small alley, and then suddenly stopped in his tracks.
From the time he left the palace gate, the people behind him followed him all the time.
After following so many streets, I am not too tired.
Lu Guixi continued to walk into the alley, and for some reason, the scene he saw for the first time suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.He suddenly understood that no matter what Chen Mingyan became, he was the child who stood alone in the lobby and was scrutinized by others when he was a child, he would tremble and hesitate whether to grab the corner of his clothes and call him brother softly.
He can even hand over his life to Chen Mingyan, so what is there to be afraid of now.
Lu Guixi let go of all his defenses, and let the person behind him knock him unconscious with a stick.
(Eighteen)
The cold tea splashed on his face, Lu Guixi gradually regained consciousness.
He opened his eyes, and a familiar face came into view.
Chen... What's wrong with Chenming?
In short, it is Chen Mingyan's sixth brother.
"You don't seem surprised to see it's me." The man stood up and refilled a cup of tea, shaking it back and forth but refusing to drink it.
"Who else but you?" Lu Guixi said indifferently.
"That's right." The man sneered: "The prince was killed by you, and I'm the only one left."
"The prince committed suicide." Lu Guixi said seriously.
"Huh?" The sixth prince seemed to have heard some extremely funny joke, and the whole body was shaking while laughing.
"I have been fighting with the prince for so many years, and no one knows him better than me."
"He is a man who values his life more than anything else. As long as he is given a chance to live, he is willing to be a dog licking shoes. How could he commit suicide?"
"My imperial brother just doesn't want the notoriety of murdering his brother. What kind of ecstasy soup did he pour on you? Why do you believe him in everything?"
Lu Guixi turned his head and did not answer.
"You are always like this, indifferent. Except for my emperor brother, you are not interested in anything else."He sighed.
"Hey." The sixth prince squatted in front of him: "You are in my hands now, can't you be more serious?"
Lu Guixi still looked at him expressionlessly.
"I said no matter what, I can't find your whereabouts. I didn't expect you to be so courageous that you dared to hide directly in the imperial city."
"Of course, the most dangerous place is the safest, this is what you taught me. Didn't you also hide in my mansion back then?".He opened Lu Guixi's mouth and poured the tea into it: "Don't be afraid, this is the medicine of Sangong, it's not poisonous."
"My imperial brother doesn't know when he will get the news of your disappearance. There is still a lot of time before that."
The sixth prince withdrew his servants: "Let's play."
([-])
The sixth prince also died, a very familiar way of death.
He was strangled to death by twisting long strips of cloth around his neck.
It may be that seeing the throne in his pocket being taken away by a younger brother he has looked down on since he was a child, or it may be that there is a big gap from the prince who is under one person and above ten thousand to a criminal, the sixth prince is a little abnormal up.
He was thinking about how to get Lu Guixi to lure Chen Mingyan out, thinking about how Chen Mingyan knelt down to him and begged for mercy, his eyes were red and everyone was in trouble, how could even Lu Guixi be caught by him so easily This issue was not considered.
Lu Guixi helped Chen Mingyan solve this serious problem, turned around and wanted to escape, but the medicine in the tea of the Sixth Prince was very effective, and he was discovered by the guards outside after only a few steps. He was hacked and injured all over his body.
The sixth prince has no strength to restrain a chicken, and he doesn't know any kung fu, but the guards outside are all highly skilled in martial arts.Lu Guixi was besieged by several people, seeing the opponent's knife slashed at him, he still had the heart to think——
This courtyard seems to belong to a wealthy businessman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Without his support, the treasury can last for a long time.
(twenty)
The door in front of him was kicked open, and the big knife that fell towards him was shot at an angle by a sword.Lu Guixi turned his head, and the soldier in front of him was a confidant he brought out from the Qinghe Gang, and Chen Mingyan asked him to be responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial city.
If he knew about Chen Mingyan, he must also know about it. At this moment, Lu Guixi didn't want to see him, so he simply took advantage of the chaos and fled the scene.
Chen Mingyan seemed to have sensed something from his attitude. The guards in the capital defaulted to opening a passage for him to escape, and then the city was put under martial law.
Even the sixth prince who was demoted as a sinner has royal blood after all, and many people in the court tried their best to catch him as a murderer.
Lu Guixi absconded all the way north until he fled to that unknown town, where he met the son of the Xue family whom he had known when he was the deputy leader of the Qinghe gang and when he was wandering the rivers and lakes with Chen Mingyan.He knew Xue Yu's character well, and thought that this "journey" would come to an end, but he didn't expect to be transferred out of the town by mysterious means and fled to the Lu family in the small village.
The village is small but comfortable and peaceful, which is just right for the elderly.Lu Guixi's temperament is always at ease, staying in such a place with green mountains and green waters will make him feel good unconsciously. Many times he sits in his room, takes a piece of wood to carve a small figure of Chen Mingyan, and once carved Just the whole day.
The two masters of the Lu family are easy to get along with.He also saw that Lu Ciyu was smart, but he was extremely lazy, as long as others didn't take the initiative to provoke him, his daily routine would be to sleep with Lin Chi in his arms.
Just stay here.
Many times he had this thought in his heart.
Chen Mingyan sent him a lot of money, and when he chatted with Lin Chi several times, he wanted to ask to buy a yard, but he swallowed the words several times.
He always felt like he didn't belong here.
Until a long time later, he was really tied to the bed by that brat and tortured and forced by all kinds of perverted and terrible methods until he agreed to become his queen, until he changed into a bright red wedding dress and entered the ancestral temple with him to meet the ancestors of the Chen dynasty. Only then did Lu Guixi understand.
It doesn't matter how far the mountain road is, the place where there is Chen Mingyan is his home.
