Xijing Chronicle

There was no expression on Jin Xuenian's face, and her tone was very calm, but she failed at the last word, and her voice trembled slightly.

Just this trill made him become cautious throughout his sentence, like a child who had been trapped in the dark for a long time, one day suddenly got a cluster of faint fire, and he hid in the darkness with full armor and carefully tested it.He was so confused, suspicious, scruples, and longing.

Gu Huaisheng paused, feeling a little distressed.

He knew that now he had to give Jin Xuenian an explanation. There is no kindness without reason, especially those who have experienced all kinds of darkness in this world, and they will not believe in sudden kindness.If he didn't give an explanation and let Jin Xuenian guess by himself, the matter might soon get out of control until it got out of hand.

Countless thoughts passed through his mind, Gu Huaisheng's expression was as indifferent as ever, and he had already methodically removed Jin Xuenian's upper body clothes to his waist, revealing his scarred body.Those wounds were criss-crossed and top-heavy, as if they were pulled out with a thin bamboo pole, occasionally mixed with red marks from burns. I don't know what Jin Xuenian suffered and how long he was lying on the bed. Now these wounds have scabbed over, But it is still so shocking, it is really hard to imagine what kind of heart-piercing pain it would be when it was just injured...

But after just a quick glance, Gu Huaisheng's eyes darkened.

You must let Jin Xuenian trust yourself, so that if this kind of thing happens in the future, Jin Xuenian will not keep silent to herself.

And... I wanted to rescue him, this idea had been lingering in my mind for many days, and at this moment I finally made up my mind.Must save him out!

Gu Huaisheng turned around to get the Yulu Muscle-Growing Ointment, while keeping his voice level, maintaining a calm tone: "I am a good friend He Rui made when he was in Houyue."

He bent down to open the hidden compartment at the head of the bed and took out the porcelain bottle.

"After He Rui died of illness, I traveled around the world. When I came to Pingguo, I was accidentally killed. In a critical situation, I was rescued by Princess Pinghuai. My name "Huaisheng" was also changed to repay the princess. After that, I I have always served the eldest princess as my master, but now I came to Daliang to investigate the death of the late emperor, there was no news of the late emperor for a period of time before his death, there are many doubts, the eldest princess suspects that there is something hidden about this matter."

Gu Huaisheng turned around, his dark eyes seemed to be able to absorb all the light in the world, like an abyss and valley, Jin Xuenian was caught off guard by these eyes, and felt a palpitation in his heart, as if his soul was not under his control and was going to be sucked in Similarly, he moved his eyes hastily, not noticing Gu Huaisheng's slightly raised brows and the flashing deep meaning in his eyes.

"You said you are a good friend of His Royal Highness the Second Prince? How can I trust you?" Jin Xuenian interrupted his words deliberately for some reason, so that he could concentrate his attention so that he would not look like Too weak and gullible to be led by the nose by Gu Huaisheng.

"You ask such a question, and I don't know how to prove it..." Gu Huaisheng's words contained a hint of distress. He walked up to Jin Xuenian and squatted down, raising his head slightly. This is the posture of a weak person, but it is up to him There is no disharmony in doing it, every movement of his is so perfect and elegant, clearly looking up at him, but it only makes people feel an oppressive breath blowing towards his face.

Probably because the distance...is too close...

Jin Xuenian frowned, subconsciously leaned back, trying to distance himself from him.

Gu Huaisheng just happened to grab his arm: "Don't move."

Jin Xuenian froze all over, and it took a lot of effort to restrain herself from hitting that warm hand.

Seeing him obediently not moving, Gu Huaisheng let go of his hands in satisfaction, dug out a large piece from the opened porcelain bottle, and gently applied it to a scar on his abdomen.

"...Well, how about I tell you something about He Rui. You have known him for many years, and you must know him a little bit. You can tell whether what I say is true or not. What do you think?"

At this moment, Jin Xuenian's attention was all on the wandering hand on his lower abdomen. The movement of that hand was too gentle. To him, it was not like taking medicine, but more like an intimate caress between lovers. The Gu in his body... But he knew that for a normal person, this kind of action is not considered as breaking the rules, it's just that he has a ghost in his heart, not to mention that the other party is really kind, so he still gritted his teeth and held back... …

But when all the will is spent on resisting the body's instincts, it is especially difficult to distract and focus on other things. He feels as if his head has been poured into a ball of paste. What is Gu Huaisheng talking about? , It took him a long time to react.

"...Okay." Jin Xuenian bit the tip of her tongue, swallowed the groans and groans that had reached her throat, and tried her best to maintain her calmness in her words.

Gu Huaisheng stretched out his hand to dig out the ointment again, then lowered his head to hide the expression in his eyes.

"Let me think about it. I was born in Houyue since I was a child. After He Rui went to Qixing in 18 years, he became a proton, and I became friends with him at that time. He Rui has a good appearance in life, plus Shang was bright and quick thinking, even though he was young at the time, he was already well-known in the capital, every time he went out, he would meet a woman throwing melons and fruits at him, which frightened him for a long time, so he did not dare to go out alone, because of this It's a good joke for us."

Without changing his face, Gu Huaisheng boasted that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth.

Probably diverted a little attention by what he said, Jin Xuenian's complexion improved a lot, she paused and said, "An ordinary person can know what you said..."

Gu Huaisheng smiled confidently: "Then I'll tell you something that ordinary people don't know. He Rui likes to eat sweets, but especially hates tea because it's bitter and astringent. He complained to me more than once about why some people like to drink tea. He doesn't like it." He eats poultry, but he likes to eat mutton. He doesn't like riding horses, but he still has a good riding skill. That's because..." Gu Huaisheng suddenly paused, but he quickly came to his senses, and continued as if nothing happened. "He once had a younger brother who loved him very much. He fell off his horse and died. He once told me that he actually hated reading and hated horseback riding and archery. With a single flaw, you can live in peace."

Jin Xuenian was aroused by his words: "It's a pity that he was so careful, and he still didn't survive in the end."

Gu Huaisheng glanced at him, and did not forget to pour chicken soup into him while the iron was hot: "The dead are dead, and the living must live well."

"You're right... um!"

Jin Xuenian suddenly trembled all over, and an unrepressed muffled moan came out of his throat shortly and urgently, and before his brain could react, he reached out and pinched Gu Huaisheng's wrist.

"It hurts?" Gu Huaisheng frowned slightly, and looked at the place he touched just now. There was Jin Xuenian's chest, which was red and swollen, and even...even had a hole pierced through it!

The anger that had been suppressed just now suddenly rose again, his eyes became colder and colder, and he wished he could arrest Quan Chengen immediately.

However, Jin Xuenian misunderstood his silence. For some reason, he suddenly panicked. He twitched the corners of his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "It does hurt a little, I made you laugh..."

Gu Huaisheng shook his head: "Let go of me, I'll take it easy."

"Okay," Jin Xuenian breathed a sigh of relief, paused, and then said, "Go on."

"Actually, there's nothing to say." Gu Huaisheng lost interest in this topic, thought for a while, and said, "Wait a minute."

After finishing speaking, he straightened up and wiped his hands, then walked out of the wing, and came back after a while, but there was something extra in his hand.

"This is the jade pendant that He Rui gave me back then. You should know it." The jade pendant is only half the size of a palm, which is too small for a man. It is shaped like a crescent moon and has a white color. There is only a koi carved on it, and there is no side decoration other than that.

Jin Xuenian opened her eyes slightly, took the jade pendant and looked around, and was finally convinced: "This is..."

He remembered that the second prince did have a mutton jade pendant before, but it was a round jade pendant with two carp engraved on it. It is said that it was left to him by He Rui's mother and concubine.But now this jade pendant... should be cut from the jade pendant of His Highness the Second Prince.

Thinking of this, Jin Xuenian couldn't help but think of a legend.

Liezu fell in love with a woman in the south of the Yangtze River when he was fighting in the South and North. Unfortunately, the great cause was not established. Liezu could only leave his sweetheart and continue to fight. When he was leaving, the woman broke the jade pendant he was carrying with him in half. , Half of it was given to Lie Zu as a token of love, and Lie Zu promised to bring the jade pendant back to marry her in the future.

Later, there were spies in the army, and Liezu was captured by the enemy, interrogated in various ways, tortured, and finally escaped, and fell down the cliff. Most of the past has been forgotten, including the woman who once loved deeply.

Afterwards, Liezu's subordinates found him, and he returned to the barracks, and finally settled down the world. one person.

During a tour to the south, Liezu met the woman again. Seeing that he no longer remembered herself, the woman was extremely sad. She took out the other half of the jade pendant she had been carrying and combined it with Liezu's. Ju Zhen finally remembered those things he had forgotten, brought the woman back to the palace, made her a concubine, and loved her for a hundred years, and died together.

Since then, Daliang has had the custom of "dividing jade and wearing it" as a token of love between lovers.

Holding the half of the jade pendant in his hand, Jin Xuenian's mood was a little complicated for no reason: "You, you and Your Highness... have a good relationship to this point?"

"That's right, now you should believe that our relationship is indeed very good." Gu Huaisheng let him ponder over the piece of jade, while he continued to apply medicine to him, gently supported his shoulder, and made him turn around , so as to heal the wound on his back.

"Um……"

Gu Huaisheng didn't notice his strangeness, and continued: "He Rui used to tell me about your Jin family. He said that the old general Jin is so heroic and good at fighting. He is the backbone of the backbone. As long as the old general Jin is around, he is not afraid of people from other countries. Attacked in, and said that the younger generations of the Jin family are all excellent, especially your eldest brother, Jin Xuanying," Gu Huaisheng couldn't help but feel a little gloomy when he mentioned this old friend, and continued after a pause, "He Rui, the young general of Jin At the age of two, he grew up with him. The two are also brothers and friends. General Jin was thrown into the battlefield by General Jin when he was 12 years old. Luhetan became famous in the first battle. At that time, he was only 15 years old. With the two of them, father and son, Daliang will continue to be safe for a hundred years."

It's a pity that not long after He Ze ascended the throne, he killed the whole family of the Jin family because of fear of the Jin family. This move is tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall. Being rebellious, coupled with the fact that there is still Houyue watching over him, it won't last for a few years if this continues.

No matter what, the country of his He family must not be destroyed just like this!

"I've heard a lot, and I know something about your Jin family. Later, He Rui became ill, and when he heard that the Jin family was ransacked and beheaded, he became furious and went immediately. Before he left, he pulled I urge in every possible way that there are still descendants of the Jin family left in the world, and if there is an opportunity in the future, I must find a way to save them..."

Unexpectedly, His Highness the Second Prince was thinking about his own family before his death. Jin Xuenian had mixed feelings, and was stunned for a long time without speaking.

After an unknown amount of time, his body suddenly felt warm. It turned out that Gu Huaisheng had already applied the medicine for him and put his clothes on him.

"There's still some medicine left here," Gu Huaisheng put the cap on the porcelain bottle and stuffed it into Jin Xuenian's hands. Last time, Jin Xuenian didn't ask him to give medicine to his lower body, which is understandable, anyone would be a little embarrassed , so this time he was very considerate and didn't continue to paint, "If there is something I have missed, you can apply the medicine yourself, don't force yourself."

Jin Xuenian looked at the bottle of priceless medicine in his hand, with a complicated expression, and didn't know what to say... He is not ignorant. The old genius doctor in Miracle Doctor Valley bought it with a lot of money because of his friendship. This is the only bottle, which was later taken by the elder brother to the battlefield to use.

At first, he couldn't recognize this medicine, but later Gu Huaisheng said that a bottle of this medicine is more expensive than a thousand gold, so he pulled out this passage from his memory...

However, Gu Huaisheng used bottle after bottle of this priceless medicine on him like it was worthless.Of course, it may be because Gu Huaisheng has an unusual relationship with the genius doctor Gu, so he has a lot of inventory, but even so, he doesn't use it like this... Is it worth spending on yourself like this?

Just for a request from His Highness before his death?

Jin Xuenian couldn't believe this reason. How could anyone in this world be so kind to someone he had never met just because of a single request?Before he met Gu Huaisheng, he wouldn't believe it at all, but now that Gu Huaisheng treats him so well, there seems to be no other reason...

"……How about it?"

Gu Huaisheng's voice rang in his ears, bringing back Jin Xuenian's wandering thoughts, and he asked with some embarrassment: "What?"

Gu Huaisheng repeated it patiently, "I'm talking, I can help you escape secretly, what do you think?"

Jin Xuenian stared at Gu Huaisheng in a daze, wondering if he heard it wrong, or was he dreaming?

He has been in hell for so long, struggled at the beginning, and finally gave up, sank, lying at the bottom of the abyss like a puddle of mud, letting him rot...but now someone told him that he could save him go out.

……how can that be possible?How could such a selfless person exist?

The person sitting by the bed looked confused, and the daze floating in his eyes was so fragile, as if it could be shattered at the touch of a touch, revealing a deeper darkness and despair.

What kind of pain has he experienced so that he can't even have joy when facing a turning point... Gu Huaisheng felt a pain in his heart, sat down beside him, showed the most kind and gentle expression as much as possible, and watched him quietly , softly said: "After you go out, I will arrange for you to go to the Valley of Miraculous Doctors, where no one can hurt you again, and someone can help you recuperate your body that has suffered losses over the years. You can learn martial arts, or if you want to find a place that no one knows to farm and live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, I can also help you arrange it, what do you think?"

This is really the most touching deception in the world.

Jin Xuenian met those dark eyes, maybe it was his hallucination, the pity, sadness and tenderness in them were as real as they were, he couldn't look away as if possessed by a demon, he almost drowned in it...

He almost said yes...

"No way!" Jin Xuenian came back to her senses suddenly, looked away with difficulty, and said dryly, "I still have a younger sister here, if I leave, Quan Chengen will definitely not let her go."

Moreover, the Gu on his body could not allow him to leave Xijing even half a step.
