Xijing Chronicle

About two months after the envoys of the Ping Kingdom left, news suddenly spread from the palace that Quan Chengen felt that he was getting old and was no longer suitable to be in charge of the imperial army. I had to accept the soldier talisman.Not long after that, Quan Cheng'en went to the palace again to face the saint, saying that he missed his hometown, and the emperor sympathized with his old age, and when he allowed him to return to his hometown, he specially sent [-] forbidden soldiers to accompany him.

"He Ze really took action against Quan Chengen. Quan Chengen was forced to return to his hometown. The emperor sent someone to escort him. Could it be that it was not to kill him on the road, son, should we take action?"

In Gu Huaisheng's study room, three people surrounded him in a small space, namely himself, He Huan, and Ye Jia'er—in order to deceive others, He Huan would usually come to his yard to discuss matters.

It was Ye Jiaer who spoke just now.

Gu Huaisheng shook his head, and tactfully refuted Ye Jia'er's words: "It's hard to say, Quan Chengen will hand over the military talisman must be a means of He Ze's order, but I'm afraid it's his own idea to go back to his hometown. Without these [-] forbidden troops, He could only evade the edge for the time being, and proposed to sue his old man and return home. However, don't forget that the will is still in his hands, and he will definitely take it out to threaten He Ze in order to protect himself. Send troops to escort him, at most it is surveillance."

The door suddenly creaked and opened a crack, Chu Tingya leaned in and asked curiously: "According to your son, why didn't Quan Chengen use the will to keep the military power in his hand?"

"In the past, it was because He Ze and Quan Cheng'en didn't break their faces, so they lived in peace. Before we released the news that the will was stolen, once He Ze made a move to test it, the delicate balance between them would be broken. With He Ze's ruthless temper, they can only become an endless relationship. Now that they have become deadly enemies, how can He Ze tolerate him holding a hundred thousand forbidden troops in his hands? "Seeing that Chu Tingya's lips moved, as if he still had something to say, Gu Huaisheng reluctantly opened his mouth before him, and blocked all the words he hadn't said, "Don't you want to ask me what He Ze used? The method, I am not a god, how can I know such details. He Ze has been colluding with Quan Chengen all these years, and the two of them must have many things in their hands. As long as he has the heart, he can always take the military power from Quan Chengen's hands Take it back."

"Xiao Chu, don't mess around, watch the door carefully and don't let anyone approach." Ye Jiaer looked over reproachfully.

"Oh..." Chu Tingya retracted his head resentfully, and the door creaked and was closed again.

"My lord, what should we do next?"

"Quan Cheng'en is cautious. He has kept his will well for so many years. He should have brought him with him when he returned home. He Ze sent people to follow him to find an opportunity to get back the will. En is about to leave Xijing and is out of the game. We don't need to act rashly. Let the two of them fight first. We just need to trouble Miss Ye to send someone to watch Quan Chengen secretly. Once you find out where the will is, come back and report, and we will do it again. Intend."

Ye Jiaer nodded solemnly: "Okay."

Only then did Gu Huaisheng turn his gaze to He Huan: "Your Highness, it's almost time for the Miao family."

When He Huan left, it was almost time to light the lamp. I don't know if it was because everything went well recently, or because of the immortal Gu in his body. Gu Huaisheng's appetite also improved, and he ate too much if he didn't pay attention. Walk around to digest food.

Prince Xian's Mansion is located on the outskirts of the imperial city, covering a vast area. There is a large maple forest in the back garden. Now is a good time for the maple leaves to be like fire. A layer of silver frost, as soon as I stepped into this maple forest, I felt that the world seemed to be dyed with a layer of light red frost, and the evening wind blew past, and it was like a dream in the quiet night, and it was so beautiful. reality.

However, the most attractive thing is not the night view of the maple forest, but the man jumping and leaping among the maple forests. The man uses a wooden stick as a gun and dances rustlingly. With his movements, thick fallen leaves are covered It was stirred up, spread out in the air like a cloud of water mist, and then fell to the ground one after another.With a thin and agile figure, against the night scene behind him, it is suitable for movement and stillness, making people unable to take their eyes off.

Gu Huaisheng's gaze first fell on his slightly loose neckline, then swept across his sweat-covered Adam's apple, his chin with beads of sweat, and finally landed on his eyes, and he couldn't move his eyes away.Those eyes that were always silent and dark were now shining with light, as if someone had wiped away the dust from the pearl, and the brilliance that suddenly burst out was shocking.

Gu Huaisheng's Adam's apple slid up and down, and he suddenly had an inexplicable urge to protect these bright eyes, never to let them get dusty again, not to let them reveal the slightest sorrow and pain.

"How did you come?"

In the end, Jin Xuenian, who was practicing with a gun, spoke first after seeing Gu Huaisheng standing not far away.As he spoke, he walked over with a wooden stick. When he got closer, he could see that his skin was covered with a layer of sweat, which showed a moist luster under the moonlight. Very slender, like a bitter bamboo on a cliff that can never be bent, he walked step by step, struggling to find his own way in the difficult and rugged fate.

Gu Huaisheng has never felt so bad as at this moment. Such a person should have flexed his muscles in his best years and become the dreamer of a lady in Xijing City, but because of a joke of fate, he himself After being thrown into darkness, he stayed there for 14 years. If he hadn't appeared by himself...would he have to live like that forever, never seeing the light of day?

Fortunately, I came back, fortunately met him, fortunately recognized him, fortunately rescued him...

"What's the matter?" Sensing the emotion hidden in Gu Huaisheng's gaze, Jin Xuenian paused, stopped not far in front of him, and asked tentatively.

"It's nothing."

Gu Huaisheng finally came back to his senses. He cleared his throat in a concealed manner, and said in the usual tone, "Put your clothes back up. It's windy at night, so you're sweating. Don't catch a cold."

Jin Xuenian looked down and saw that his clothes were wide open, and he felt very embarrassed. Thinking of Gu Huaisheng's strange eyes just now, the roots of his ears began to turn red. He threw away the wooden stick to tidy up his clothes, and couldn't help explaining dryly. : "It was inconvenient to practice the gun just now, so I solved it."

"Well," Gu Huaisheng didn't seem to realize that he had forced the other party into such an embarrassment with a single word, his expression was still naturally calm, he stepped forward and bent down to pick up the poor wooden stick, then straightened up and looked at Jin Xuenian At that time, he sighed with some relief, "If you don't pay attention, you have grown up so much."

Jin Xuenian looked over with puzzled eyes, and Gu Huaisheng realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly corrected it: "He Rui mentioned you to me before, and in his mouth, you are just a little one... I suddenly thought of this for some reason, Made you laugh."

However, Jin Xuenian froze in place: "Your Highness the Second Prince...has he even mentioned me to you?"

Gu Huaisheng was a little embarrassed, he didn't dare to look at him again, he could only look forward, and said indifferently: "It's just occasionally."

Jin Xuenian realized that he didn't want to talk about it any more, so he didn't bother him anymore.

The two walked together quietly for a while, when Gu Huaisheng suddenly asked a somewhat abrupt question: "What do you think the Jin family... is like?"

"The Jin family?" Jin Xuenian was taken aback by the sudden inquiry, but she still thought about it seriously, "In my memory, the father of the family is the most majestic and stern. When I was young, I respected and feared him at the same time. , he is the God of War in Daliang, and he is an indomitable existence in my heart, even if he always scolds me," he paused at this point, showing an indescribable smile, very light, as if the wind blows Can heal, "But that's also because I didn't do well enough. The eldest brother is the most proud child of my father. He is as brave as his father. You ask me what I think of the Jin family. The Jin family with them is the one in everyone's heart." The Jin family is the unbreakable backbone of the big beam."

Gu Huaisheng looked at him like this, and then remembered what Miao Si said, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you?" Jin Xuenian sensitively sensed Gu Huaisheng's heavy heart, and asked after careful consideration, "Is there something bothering you?"

"If, I mean if," Gu Huaisheng looked at the road ahead and said slowly, "If one day you encounter something more desperate than before, can you promise me that you will survive no matter what."

Jin Xuenian was stunned: "What do you mean..."

Gu Huaisheng glanced at him, but it was just this one glance that made Jin Xuenian fall silent. He seemed to have noticed something, and after being quiet for a long time, he said softly, "What will happen in the future..."

There are only these four words, and there are no other promises. Gu Huaisheng waited for a long time, but he didn't get the answer he wanted. He couldn't help frowning slightly, and looked at the people around him. Yes, did not meet his eyes.

Gu Huaisheng felt a chill in his heart, and he felt helpless that "it really is so", and he still had a lot of unexplainable fear and anxiety, which made him extremely uncomfortable, so he could only force himself to change the subject: "By the way, you can use this set of marksmanship Is there anything you don't understand? And the mental method I taught you, how is it going?"

"I practiced marksmanship when I was young, and I still remember the main points. It's just that I feel a little strenuous because I haven't practiced for a long time." When the topic fell on practice, Jin Xuenian seemed much more relaxed. He lowered his head and said embarrassedly, "As for Fa, there are indeed a few things I don't understand..."

Before he finished speaking, he was taken aback by the sudden fingers on his wrist, swallowed all the rest of the words, and almost bit his tongue.

Gu Huaisheng pinched his wrist, seeing that his reaction was still so strong, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.He cleared his throat, and explained a little too much: "Let me see the internal strength you practice, it will be more intuitive to feel it this way..."

"Well, I know, it's time to work."

As soon as Jin Xuenian's words came out, the atmosphere became even more embarrassing. Now even Gu Huaisheng couldn't continue to turn a blind eye to this atmosphere. He closed his eyes, tried his best to calm down, and stretched out his inner strength to walk in Jin Xuenian's body After walking around for a while, I slowly frowned, and all the inexplicable feelings in my heart dissipated: "There are indeed some things wrong. Fortunately, you have only practiced for a few days, so the problem is not serious."

"Then, to..."

"In this way," Jin Xuenian looked around, sat down on the floor, and motioned for Jin Xuenian to sit down too, and pulled his palms to palms, "You can carefully feel the route of my next internal energy walk, and remember it .”

This method is mostly used by the elders with deep inner strength to teach the younger generations in the family. The requirements for the control of inner strength are extremely strict, and it also requires the other party to trust and cooperate with you, otherwise, if you are a little careless, you will lose both.If it was someone else, Gu Huaisheng would definitely not use such a risky method, but the other party is Jin Xuenian.

He is confident that he will not make mistakes, and he also believes that Jin Xuenian will cooperate with him.

Stretching out their inner strength again, this time carefully walking through the meridians for a big circle, and finally returning to the dantian, time passed slowly in the silence, and when they opened their eyes again, it was already the climax of the moon, Gu Huaisheng The exhaustion was great, the clothes were soaked, and there were even crystal beads of sweat hanging on the tip of the nose, Jin Xuenian only took one look and then hurriedly looked away.

"how do you feel?"

Jin Xuenian said the truth: "It hurts a bit..."

Gu Huaisheng smiled, and said comfortingly: "It's normal to feel pain, after all, it was forcibly developed by me, but it will be much easier in the future."

What they didn't know was that Chu Tingya outside the forest froze for a long while with a face struck by lightning, and suddenly grabbed Xue Zinu who was about to walk in by the collar, and dragged him in the opposite direction. : "Over there, I heard the young master's voice, over there."

Young master, for the sake of my understanding, I wonder if I can give you more silver flowers in the future...
