Omi had to sit up

Chen Shu's movements paused, but he didn't dare to be negligent. While fastening the buttons, he said hastily, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He tied it in a hurry.Xie Zhen stood where he was, and saw Lin Chenshu fasten the buttons of his underwear up and down at a speed visible to the naked eye—it was crooked properly.

But the person himself hadn't realized it yet, so he sat on the bed after buttoning up his clothes, resting his hands on the quilt awkwardly, and slowly raised his head to look at the emperor in front of him.

Xie Zhen: "..."

The man in front of him had disheveled clothes, the white undershirt only covered his chest and abdomen, and the neckline under his throat was still loosely open, exposing his Adam's apple and the looming beauty bones. Only the hair crown on his head was neat. He looked at him cautiously, but his eyes, which were as black as glass, reflected his figure in front of him.

He looked pale, much weaker than when they first met in the school field, and he still looked weak.

Glancing at the tray and bandages in front of Lin Chenshu, Xie Zhen frowned and said, "How did you make it look like this?"

"It's Caomin who wants to bandage the wound himself." Fearing that Xie Zhen would blame Xiao Yuan, Chen Shu immediately explained, his dark pupils were covered by drooping eyelids again, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Caomin didn't know that the emperor was coming, and I didn't have time to prepare, please Your Majesty forgives you."

"..." Being robbed by Lin Chenshu, Xie Zhen was silent for a while, and finally ignored the other party's messy clothes, walked to the bed in a few steps, and sat down next to him.

"How's the injury?" he asked.

His movements were natural, and it was the second time Xie Zhen sat next to him again.

Chen Shu was taken aback, and quickly replied respectfully: "Thanks to the emperor's blessing, the grass people feel much better."

The two were very close, and Chen Shu felt Xie Zhen's scrutinizing eyes fall from him, silent and stern.Jian Jianzhen didn't speak all the time, and Chen Shu quickly added: "You should be able to walk on the ground tomorrow."

"... Mmm." Only then did Xie Zhen respond with a single tone.

After a while, his sight was not so tight, but he let Xiaoyuan who was outside the screen retreat to wait outside the room, and the voice slowly sounded: "Lin Chenshu, why did you appear there that day?"

"!" The emperor really started to test.

When Chen Shu was still in a coma, he heard the emperor secretly suspecting and investigating him. He already had an early warning in his heart. I saw a group of people dressed in black heading southwest, and felt very strange, so I searched all the way to the stream, and ran into the emperor."

What he said was half true and half false.In fact, it was Li Yezhi who bumped into the man in black for the first time that day, but Li Yezhi did not appear in the conversation between Xie Zhen and Lu Qi that day. Chen Shu was not sure whether he had brought the news that someone was going to assassinate the emperor that day. Returning to the official shed, so Li Yezhi was automatically filtered out when it was mentioned.

Moreover, he wanted to protect the emperor with the intention of dying at that time, and he used to perform light work in front of Li Yezhi. If Xie Zhen knew that Li Yezhi had investigated it, he would not be able to explain his strange ability given by the system in front of the emperor. .

Chen Shu secretly observed Xie Zhen's face, but he saw that there was no expression on Zhen's face. He raised his eyebrows and stared at his own face: "Then do you know Chongsan?"

"Chongsan?"

"Yes. You almost died under his knife, and he was shocked when he saw you." Xie Zhen said.

Chen Shu frowned slightly, and replied: "The day before the ranking, Cao Min wanted to go to Qi Taiwei's mansion to find the Qi manor, but he ran into someone delivering supplies at the back door of Qi Taiwei's mansion, and then he was caught by two people." The men in black found out, and one of the men in black seems to be called Chongsan."

"Chongsan is not an ordinary person, how did you survive?"

"..." Chen Shu frowned, and said in a low voice: "The grass people fled in a panic at that time, and they didn't see them chasing after halfway."

Chongsan fell into Xie Zhen's hands, and he should explain everything he knew, which probably included the killing of Lin Chenshu.But this matter is so weird that even Chongsan himself can't believe that Lin Chenshu will come back from the dead. Now as long as he himself doesn't admit it, Chongsan was executed by Xie Zhen, and there is no way to prove it.

The memory of Lin Chenshu's death has been lost. Based on what he had eavesdropped and guessed, Chen Shu even believed himself to a certain extent.

He said, without waiting for Xie Zhen to continue to doubt, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what was transported by Taiwei Qi's mansion was a batch of weapons, and the grass people heard them mention hunting in the autumn field outside Qi's mansion. I saw the emperor and the other day. Taiwei Qi went hunting together in the mountains, fearing that the emperor would be in danger, so he boldly followed."

"En." Xie Zhen replied again, his voice was very calm, but his eyes were always looking at Chen Shu, "If I don't save you, you will die. This is your "to win the holy face and die without regret." '?"

"Uh..." Zong Chen Shu's eloquent tongue suddenly stuck in his throat.

The expression of the person in front of him was dull again for a moment, and Xie Zhen laughed in a low voice: "Lin Chenshu, what else are you hiding from me?"

"No, no more." Chen Shu bit the bullet and said.

The rest of the things are related to the system Changming, and they do not belong to the scope of this world's understanding. If Xie Zhen understands it, it's okay, but if he doesn't understand it, I'm afraid he will regard himself as a monster like Kun Si.

Xie Zhen looked at the person in front of him with a pale face and fell into silence, his pale lips were slightly pursed, and he didn't intend to continue talking, his eyes shifted slightly, and fell on the left chest of the other party, he was stunned for a moment, The smile on his face faded slightly.

Under the snow-white skirt, Xie Zhen still remembered the wound he had just glanced at, the dark scab with coagulated blood, looking hideous and terrifying.

"Lin Chenshu, it's not easy for you to come to save him regardless of the danger." Xie Zhen looked away, and his voice came again steadily, "I may grant you any reward you want."

reward?

Chen Shu's original intention was just to follow the system's requirements, and he didn't think about any rewards.

"Protecting the emperor is what the grassroots should do. The grassroots dare not ask for rewards." Chen Shu said.

"It's okay, you think about it carefully, and just bring up any requests." Xie Zhen said.

Having said that, if you continue to refuse, I'm afraid it will save the emperor's face.

Chen Shu lowered his head and thought for a while: "If you ask, Cao Min has something to ask the emperor to do."

"What's the matter?" Xie Zhen asked.

"Caomin wants to stay with the emperor and serve." Chen Shu replied.

Xie Zhen: "..."

Chen Shu thought clearly that he was ordered by the system to protect the emperor.Since the emperor asked such a question, why not take this opportunity to get close to the emperor?

Xie Zhen suddenly remembered the red figure that flew over to block him in the hunting ground.His eyes were fixed, this time his pupils were tightly focused, and the focus was completely on Chen Shu's eyes.

"Work for me?" Xie Zhen said, with a slow and low voice, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know. Lin Chenshu is willing to put his heart and soul to the emperor." Chen Shu also raised his slightly drooping eyes, swearing: "If the emperor has any use for Lin Chenshu, the grassroots can be used as soldiers in front of saddles and pawns in front of horses." , go through fire and water, no hesitation."

"..."

Xie Zhen frowned.

The eyes of the two met, and the room fell into a brief silence.

Lin Chenshu's face was pale, and he looked very weak and vulnerable, but his eyes showed firmness, and even the hand that swore was calm and fearless.

Xie Zhen stared at Lin Chenshu for a while, and suddenly the corners of his lips curled up: "You really think so?"

"Yes." Chen Shu confirmed.

Xie Zhen pondered for a moment: "...So, I happen to be short of a suitable man recently."

Chen Shu was overjoyed and raised his eyes to look at Xie Zhen.

His eyes lit up with brilliance, making his originally weak appearance look a bit more energetic.

Xie Zhen's voice paused: "Lin Chenshu, do you still remember the batch of supplies you saw at Taiwei Qi's mansion before?"

"Remember." Although Chen Shu didn't see it personally, but this was something that Lin Chenshu experienced, he quickly responded.

"Two months ago, the Diyi in the northern pass invaded our country, and the war was tense. I allocated a batch of military funds from the treasury of the capital to support the northern garrison. Nearly 20 officers and soldiers were escorted on the way, but one month later, I received news that this The batch of military supplies has not arrived at the barracks. The [-] officers and soldiers who set off from the capital also lost their news and their whereabouts are unknown." Xie Zhen said slowly, "Until [-] days ago, near the Luona River in Yubei Pass, some local residents found The two floating corpses were dressed in uniforms for our officers and soldiers in the capital, so their identities were confirmed."

Chen Shu was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Xie Zhen to mention such a thing. He pondered for a while and said, "What does the emperor mean, that the military resources in Taiwei Qi's mansion are the same as those allocated by the emperor to the border?"

"Torture from Chongsan, it's a group." Xie Zhen paused, and said, "He was originally the person I sent to monitor Qi Taiwei."

"..." Chen Shu's heart trembled.

He now suspects that Xie Zhen may have known about Qi Taiwei's rebellion a long time ago, and going to the hunting ground to hunt was just to lure the snake out of the hole.

But when he rushed to the scene that day, he didn't seem to see Qi Yanchu appearing next to Xie Zhen, and he didn't know what the situation outside was like.

"The floating corpses of officers and soldiers appeared near the Rhone River. At first, I thought that the [-] officers and soldiers who escorted supplies were robbed near the river, and none of the people we sent found them. But recently, I learned from Chongsan's confession that Qi Yanchu took action. But the place is near Daqingshan.”

Qingshan Tianlan!Chen Shu suddenly remembered the conversation between Xie Zhen and Lu Qi when he was in a coma that day.

"Your Majesty, is there anything the grass-roots can do?" Chen Shu responded and asked.

"Qi Yanchu's roots are deep and leafy in the court, and he has various disciples attached to him. It is not easy to bring him down and mobilize his whole body. However, that batch of military funds is not only related to the stability of the border, but it may also become Qi Yanchu. The criminal evidence." Xie Zhen said, "Daqingshan is far away from the Rhone River, and the terrain is complicated. I need one person to go to Qingshan Tianlan to find out the whereabouts of the [-] officers and soldiers and the military funds."

He said, looked at the people around him, and said: "You are the new No. [-] candidate, and you are on standby to be named. I can give you the title of imperial envoy, and go from the capital to Qingshan to investigate the case. You don't have to worry, there will be someone to meet you there you."

"..." Chen Shu heard something wrong, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he still couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, how far is this Qingshan Tianlan from the capital?"

"About half a month's drive."

"This, this is too far away?!" Chen Shu's temples twitched.

He wanted to work well by the emperor's side, hoping to have the opportunity to complete Changming's mission, but what did Xie Zhen mean just now?

Half a month's drive, not counting the investigation time, would take a month to go back and forth. How long would he have to stay in this world? !
