Xijing Chronicle

Gu Huaisheng found that Wen Shizi suddenly became very strange.

kind.

very earnest.

"Huaiyu, the weather is so good, do you really not want to go hunting?"

The corners of Gu Huaisheng's mouth twitched as he watched the scorching sun. He was afraid that he would be tanned alive if he went hunting this day: "Do you think life is so easy..."

Wen Jingzhou was shocked when he heard the words, and the alarm bells rang in his heart. Look at what he said, what does it mean to feel that life is too good?Sure enough, only those who have the will to die can say it!

"It's fine if you don't go out," Wen Shizi continued, "Let's do something else? Play chess? Cuju? Drinking orders? What do you like to do? Huh?"

"If you don't like to do these things, then I'll accompany you to drink flower wine? Qin Xianglou has a group of young men, and they all look good. You won't be disappointed if you take care of them!"

"..." Gu Huaisheng pushed him away expressionlessly: "You are blocking my way."

"It's a good time, how can you not have some fun!" Wen Shizi chased after him earnestly, "You see how boring your life is when you don't do anything all day long. When you find out that there are other interesting things in this world, Life will definitely be much more colorful.”

Gu Huaisheng's footsteps stopped, and he didn't know which sentence touched something. His expression was in a trance for a moment, but he soon came to his senses, and said lightly: "The big revenge has not been avenged, so how can I go to eat, drink and have fun now."

"..." Wen Shizi put all his painstaking efforts in vain, and watched Gu Huaisheng disappear behind the moon gate in frustration.

Over the years, what I have done and Gu Huaisheng's identity have been hidden from the imperial concubine. Now there are many things that I can't discuss with her. After holding back for a long time, Wen Shizi finally drove to Qinxiang Tower.

Ye Jia'er had just rested for a short while, and yesterday she spent a lot of time arranging some things that the young master ordered. She thought she would be able to sleep well, but she was awakened when she was about to fall asleep. Hao couldn't help losing his temper: "Who?!"

Wen Jingzhou coughed in embarrassment: "It's me."

"Young master?!" Ye Jia'er was startled, wondering if something important happened to make the young master come here in a hurry, but what could happen?Could it be that something went wrong yesterday?Thinking of this, her face became serious, and she said in a low voice, "Master, please tell me, Jia'er will do her best, and she will die."

Wen Jingzhou was even more embarrassed...but he's already here, so it would be a waste of time if he didn't ask something...

"Well, that, I want to ask you, how can you make a man happy?"

Ye Jiaer: "...?"

Wen Shizi broke his heart here, but Gu Huaisheng leisurely returned to the courtyard with his sword in hand. In the west wing, Jin Xuenian heard the footsteps in the courtyard, holding the half wall of white jade in his hand, and opened the door after a moment of hesitation. .

Gu Huaisheng turned his head when he heard the sound, and smiled at him in the morning sun: "Morning."

Jin Xuenian wanted to return the jade pendant to him, but when his eyes fell on his sword, his words changed: "Are you going to practice sword?"

"Yes," Gu Huaisheng looked at him, his eyes were calm, as if reflecting the whole world, "The sun is just rising, and the time when the purple air is coming from the east is the best time to practice martial arts and swords. If you want to come together, I will meet you tomorrow morning." Call you together."

Jin Xuenian was a little taken aback.

The best time to practice martial arts and swords is when the sun is rising and the purple air is coming from the east. This is what their father often taught them when they were young. It was passed down from their ancestors. When they heard it from Gu Huaisheng, it made him feel a little dazed for a while. , as if returning to my childhood...

"If I remember correctly, your Jin family has a set of marksmanship that is invincible, and the gods and ghosts do not invade. In the past, the little general of Jin made a small achievement, and he was able to use this marksmanship to gallop across the deer river beach and take the head of the enemy general into his pocket. , became famous in one battle. After the accident in the Jin family, the little general Jin buried his name in the folks. He knew that he was in danger, and he didn't want this set of marksmanship to be broken. So he wrote it down silently, and I got it later. If you want to continue practicing martial arts , I will give it to you, so as to teach you that the Jin family has successors."

Gu Huaisheng had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and the Jin family's marksmanship naturally had to be practiced by the Jin family. Although Jin Xuenian was not good at martial arts when he was young, but he took the opportunity to touch his bones when he was applying medicine for him. As for those things when I was a child, there is no need to pursue them.

Asking Jin Xuenian to practice martial arts again is not only to make the Jin family have successors, but also to find something for Jin Xuenian to do. If he is not allowed to be in a daze all day long, even good people can get bored. Come anyway.

Gu Huaisheng's calculations were loud in his mind, but he didn't get a response for a long time.Seeing that Jin Xuenian didn't answer, Gu Huaisheng only said that he still had knots in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said lightly: "I rescued you, and I'm afraid that you will feel uneasy after receiving my kindness. Why don't you practice all your martial arts and do it in the future? It can also be used better for me, and from now on, what do you think?"

Jin Xuenian looked at the person in front of him with complicated eyes. How could he not appreciate Gu Huaisheng's good intentions? However, it's just that a person like him is not worth spending so much effort...

I don't know how long it took before he said in a low voice: "You have done me a favor, I will naturally repay it, but now my body can't practice martial arts..."

Gu Huaisheng was silent for a moment, stepped forward and pinched Jin Xuenian's wrist, put on the pulse door, probed with internal force for a long while, his brows gradually knit together: "That Gu?"

"That's right," Jin Xuenian said, "At first I fought hard and even hurt someone, and it was because of this that Mr. Chen was motivated to play a trick on me."

Gu Huaisheng finally paid attention to this Gu: "What kind of Gu is so overbearing?" It can also promote the body's self-healing ability, seal off most of the acupoints, and also restrict the freedom of the person affected by the Gu, and cannot leave Xijing for half a step .

Jin Xuenian shook her head: "I don't know the name either."

"Forget it." Gu Huaisheng thought for a long time but couldn't make up his mind, and finally said this, Jin Xuenian only said that he had given up, even though he tried his best to cover it up, his eyes were still a little gloomy.

Gu Huaisheng noticed it, and couldn't help sighing in his heart. He was as sensitive as Jin Xuenian, and I'm afraid he had only seen it in his life. Two, I will write to him to inquire about the situation." He didn't want to say this in advance, so as not to hope for greater disappointment later, but with Jin Xuenian's behavior, if he didn't speak directly, he might hurt him Random thoughts.

Sure enough, after his words fell, Jin Xuenian looked up at him in a daze, and Gu Huaisheng sighed again. In the days after meeting Jin Xuenian, he felt that he was about to sigh all the breath of his life.

"It's getting late, go to my room and have breakfast."

Gu Huaisheng's life pattern is almost rigid. He gets up before dawn to practice swords every day, and when he returns to his room, the servants in the kitchen of the Shizi Mansion have already set up a table of breakfast. Discuss current affairs in the state, or analyze the situation in Xijing by yourself, and take a short nap after lunch.In the afternoon, he was much idler, occasionally playing two games of chess with Xue Zinu who came to look for him, and most of the time reading.

But now that there is an extra Jin Xuenian in the courtyard, everything seems to be different.

Gu Huaisheng was very distressed. Jin Xuenian was not so much an old friend to him as a responsibility. He was always unable to calm down and do his own thing, and often couldn't help but worry about Jin Xuenian after a while.

For example, right now, Gu Huaisheng is pinching the note in his hand that is full of the recent actions of various characters in Xijing, looking at it, but his thoughts drift away involuntarily. The courtyard is too quiet, so quiet that even if he holds his breath and listens quietly, he will not notice it. The existence of another person... Gu Huaisheng rubbed his temples, feeling a little uneasy, looked at the sun that was almost rising above his head, and thought worriedly, Jin Xuenian was bored in the room all morning, could it be that something happened? What's up?

After a while, Gu Huaisheng finally let out a long sigh in resignation, put down the things in his hands, got up and opened the door, and walked outside the west wing. He practiced his skills and listened quietly for a while. Shortness of breath, occasionally mixed with weak groans/groans, but those voices were swallowed mercilessly as soon as they came out, turning into a low whine.

Gu Huaisheng frowned, before he had time to think, he pushed the door open and entered.

The moment the door was pushed open, the voices in the room stopped abruptly, followed by a flustered movement. Gu Huaisheng went straight to the back room, only to see Jin Xuenian curled up on the ground in disheveled clothes, naked/ There were red and swollen scratches all over the exposed skin, his whole body was wet with sweat, and his hair was knotted in locks and knots.

Unexpectedly seeing Gu Huaisheng approaching, Jin Xuenian's pupils suddenly dilated. He had already endured to the extreme and his eyes became dizzy, but under this stimulation, he regained consciousness a little bit, and the huge panic and fear disappeared in the blink of an eye. He submerged, instinctively looking around for something, hoping to block himself.

He didn't want Gu Huaisheng to see him like this, although countless people had already seen him, but Gu Huaisheng was the only one, only one Gu Huaisheng...

He didn't want to see those contempt and contempt in Gu Huaisheng's eyes. This person pulled him out of the quagmire when he had long given up hope. If he suddenly let go... Jin Xuenian choked for breath, as long as Imagining that scene, the panic spread infinitely, and the rationality that had already dissipated was aroused a bit, and he worked harder to restrain himself.

Gu Huaisheng didn't know these thoughts in Jin Xuenian's mind, he just saw Jin Xuenian curled up on the ground very abnormally, so he subconsciously wanted to pull him.

Unexpectedly, before he touched anyone on the ground, his hand was swung away forcefully.

"Don't touch me!" Jin Xuenian growled hoarsely.That blow almost exhausted all his strength, he panted a few times, his pupils were a little slack, but quickly gathered together, and repeated this several times, as if something was fighting a tug-of-war with him in his body Same.

Seeing his appearance, Gu Huaisheng vaguely guessed something, his eyes were stern, and the corners of his mouth were tightened tightly. It was that Gu worm... that Second Young Master Chen, who took cruelty as an interesting thing, will definitely look for opportunities in the future. Defeating him to ashes can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

Thinking that Jin Xuenian recalled some bad things in his confusion, Gu Huaisheng didn't go forward again. Jin Xuenian endured it for a while, but couldn't resist his instinct and began to tear his clothes. Gu Huaisheng didn't dare to enter, and couldn't retreat. He has been through the storm for a long time, and he also feels helpless at this moment.

"...I'll call you a doctor..."

"No..." Jin Xuenian vaguely heard someone talking, as if he wanted to call someone, he panicked, and the unbearable memory came back again, he couldn't care about anything, he climbed a few steps forward and pulled Lie on the hem of Gu Huaisheng's clothes, and begged in a murmur, "Don't, don't ask others to come and see..."

Over and over again, Gu Huaisheng could only hear him say these few words, saying it over and over again, as if he was chanting the most humble obsession, digging out the darkness buried deep in his heart bloody.

At that time, the Gu poison broke out for the first time. He was still young, and he had never experienced such a violent and strange emotion. With a loud voice, the second son of Chen became vicious and threatened him to leave him in front of the public.

That was the most desperate time in his life. He seemed to see the world suddenly darken, and the world was dark. Countless hands stretched out from hell firmly grabbed him and pulled him down slowly.Shame made him bow his head, but his self-esteem was clamoring to resist. He wanted to kill himself to end this painful torture, but the words and eyes of his father and brother before they died haunted him like a curse, making him unable to do so.

Finally, at the moment when he was most helpless, years of shame prevailed, and he knelt down at the feet of Second Young Master Chen and begged, like a dog without human dignity, wagging his tail and begging for mercy, just to deceive himself and others His pitiful and despicable appearance was confined in a small room, not to be seen by more people, for his only remaining precarious self-esteem...

The bottom line is used to break, once there will be a second time... Later, he learned to close his eyes, plug his ears, seal his heart, numb himself, and live like a walking dead until now...

just now……

Yes, it's different now...

Jin Xuenian opened his eyes suddenly, and went back rationally. Without Second Young Master Chen, he saw Gu Huaisheng.
