The Eight Winds of Rebirth

Almost at the same time that the sharp arrow was shot, Yan conveniently rushed to the front and drew the knife and chopped the thief down on the ground, but he was still a step too late, and when he turned around, he saw that Gu Xiangtan had fallen down, his thin body The posture is like a dead leaf in the cold wind, falling lightly to the ground.Classic novel Gu Xiangtan looked at Yuan Qing anxiously running towards him in a daze, he wanted to grab him, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.

The person was hugged tightly, Gu Xiangtan looked at the face in front of him, and tried his best to speak: "It was them... that day in Laba... that tied me up..."

In fact, there are many more that Gu Xiangtan wants to say. For example, the moment he bullied him, he saw a drop-shaped scar on the neck of the archer on the day of Laba. He has been lying in ambush in Beijing and never returned to Nanman, which is why he avoided so many eyeliner inquiries, and it made sense to be able to penetrate every layer of defense and take him away from the palace that day. Also, Gu Xiangtan He felt that the person they wanted to assassinate was not Zhao Yuan, nor himself, but the little prince of Nanman who came with Zhao Yuan and signed the vassal treaty, but everything will be known after the interrogation, so people cannot kill.

But Gu Xiangtan couldn't even say these words, he just felt getting colder and colder, like a gust of hurricane blowing from his chest, gradually sweeping away all his sanity, making him feel like falling into an ice cellar.

In the end, facing Zhao Yuan's horrified gaze, Gu Xiangtan closed his eyes and lost consciousness.

At this moment, the capital is in chaos.

The common people saw that Lingfo was murdered by thieves with their own eyes, and countless people flocked to go up to the city tower to check, and some were frightened by the reappearance of the Southern barbarians, shouting panic rumors such as "They are here to seek revenge and kill people!" It caused everyone to flee in all directions, pushing and shoving each other.

Zhao Yuan didn't have the energy to care about these things at all, he just yelled at Yizheng with red eyes, his face was almost as pale as Gu Xiangtan's.

Yizheng had already followed behind, and hurriedly rolled up his sleeves to get close to check the injury and diagnose the pulse, but when he unbuttoned Gu Xiangtan's jacket robe and the obscene clothes inside, Yizheng couldn't help but change his face.

I saw that the wound rolled ferociously, but the blood that flowed out was purple red, it was a poisonous arrow!

Yizheng trembled his lips and said, "Nanman... the number one poison!?"

"Poison? What poison? Quickly use the antidote, use the antidote!" Su Xi was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Yizheng was stunned, until Zhao Yuan reached out to pull out the arrow, and then grabbed him.

"You can't move! If you get hit by a poisoned arrow, it will turn into poisonous blood. Whoever touches it will be infected immediately!"

At that moment, everyone heard the meaning of his words, Lingfo's blood was poisoned, this person... can he be saved?

"Where's Dan Qiuguo? Isn't there one left? There are so many miraculous medicines in Beijing, there must be something that can do it, aren't you a genius doctor?!" Su Xi finally burst into tears.

Yizheng opened his mouth, and when he turned around, he saw Zhao Yuan also staring at him with wide eyes. The pleading look of hope in his eyes was never seen before.The refuted words that came out of his mouth were finally swallowed back abruptly, Yizheng nodded, and comforted him: "Yes... yes... I will try, if you don't try, how will you know."

But I was thinking in my heart, the number one poison in Nanban, what is Yingge, what is talking about yellow grass, compared to this, what is number one?

It is unsolvable...

Zhao Yuan carefully picked up Gu Xiangtan, and the group hurried back to the palace.

Zhao Ze raised his long sword behind him and shouted loudly to the people who were still in fear: "The Southern barbarian thieves have all been taken down, and Lingfo will be fine with only a few minor injuries. !"

He is also dressed in bright armor, and his cold and serious face is very similar to Zhao Yuan. Several years of military service has honed the Langlang boy at that time into a strong man. The restlessness gradually subsided.

Zhao Ze reorganized the army for a while, and entered the imperial city in a mighty way, only under the helmet that others could not see, his brows were wrinkled and his eyes were worried.

……

In the next three days, Yizheng continued to diagnose and treat Gu Xiangtan without sleep. He used all kinds of folk remedies, holy medicines, and magic pills, but still had no effect. Whispering and struggling, there was almost a dead silence in the end.

Zhao Yuan just sat on the side as immobile as a mountain, holding Gu Xiangtan's hand tightly, not answering anyone who asked him, not listening to anyone who persuaded him, only when Yizheng brought the medicine would he shake it. Eyelids, his face is blue and white, his lips are also blue and white, and his eyes are red and red, as if containing boundless fire of karma. If something happens to the person in front of him, the fire will burn into a prairie fire overnight. Don't leave mediocre.

Yizheng's heart seemed to be hanging on the tip of a knife. Even though he already had calculations in his heart, every time he took the medicine bowl in and came out disappointed, anyone could see that this amazing doctor who moved the world also So it was hit hard.

When he returned helplessly again, Zhao Ze, who was guarding the door, couldn't stand it any longer.

"You look like this, let's take a rest."

Yizheng shook his head dejectedly: "You should go and take a look at your sixth brother. If Lingfo really made a mistake, he might as well..."

How could Zhao Ze not know that these days are far away in Chenzhou, Zhao Yuan's decisive and courageous killing of the enemy is an example for all soldiers, and in the eyes of those close to him, his sixth brother did all these things. The reason for the person is already very clear. If Gu Xiangtan cannot escape this disaster after all, the sixth brother will definitely not live alone.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ze felt so depressed that he couldn't speak, and could only watch helplessly as Yizheng turned around and walked towards the pharmacy again.

In the middle of the night, when everything was silent, there was a knock on the door of Lingfo's room, and Yizheng walked in with a bowl of black concoction.

Zhao Yuan still raised her head quickly, with a strange light in her stagnant eyes. No matter how dire the situation was, he never gave up hope.

Yi Zheng didn't dare to look him in the eyes, he tried his best to smile and said, "I tried another new medicine, let's give it to Lingfo."

Su Xi wanted to take the bowl, but Zhao Yuan took it herself without pretending to be someone else, stirred it with a spoon, and looked at Yizheng.

There was a thick and rich smell in that bowl, green and slightly bitter, very faint, but it made Zhao Yuan feel familiar for no reason.

Yizheng lowered his eyes, he thought Zhao Yuan must be unwilling, but the other party did not even blink, carefully lifted Gu Xiangtan up, scooped up a spoon and slowly fed it to his mouth.

On the contrary, Yizheng couldn't bear it anymore: "My lord!"

Zhao Yuan paused.

Yizheng said: "Have you thought about it?"

Zhao Yuan looked at Gu Xiangtan's pale face, and asked softly, "Would he feel better this way?"

Yizheng thought for a while, nodded, and said with red eyes choked with sobs: "This is the only way I can think of. I have heard from my master that chatting yellow grass can overcome the toxicity of the first poison, and fight poison with poison, but... "After all, it is not the antidote, but it will become like Zhao Yuan when she was a child, waiting to die slowly, or it will get better, who knows...

"How long can it be delayed?"

Yizheng said: "Half, half a year..."

Zhao Yuan gave a "hmm" and fed the medicine into Gu Xiangtan's lips little by little, then carefully wiped his head and face clean, and stroked his back, until the medicine was all swallowed into his stomach , and then put the person back on the bed, and covered the quilt well.

The gentle and careful movements back and forth made Yizheng's nose feel sour, and he couldn't keep it any longer, so he hurried back and ran away.

……

Two days later, Gu Xiangtan slowly opened his eyes, and met the eyes on the pillow that were staring at him.

He moved his lips, and Zhao Yuan said one step ahead of him: "It's okay, everything is over."

A trace of trance and hesitation flashed across Gu Xiangtan's eyes, and as soon as he made a move, he "uh" had to lie back.

Zhao Yuan hurriedly got up to restrain him, and said in a low voice, "I still need to rest and recuperate, don't move around."

Gu Xiangtan felt the dull pain in his chest, and slowly remembered what happened that day.

Zhao Yuan seemed to understand what he was thinking, and slowly told him the follow-up treatment. Those people were indeed the remnant party of Nanman General Si Gong, and they were also the ones who kidnapped Gu Xiangtan at that time. They stayed in Beijing for seven or eight years. In the middle, they just waited for an opportunity to move, but now that they learned that the little prince was going to sign a treaty with Daye, they made a desperate attempt to trigger another war, but now they were all strangled by Zhao Yuan.

Gu Xiangtan was out of spirits, and was about to fall asleep gradually after listening to it. In a trance, he seemed to feel that Zhao Yuan had asked him something, Gu Xiangtan nodded intuitively, and gradually lost consciousness again.

After Zhao Yuan waited for Gu Xiangtan to fall into a deep sleep, she rarely got up and left Sumeru Palace, heading towards Chengfeng Palace. He only stayed there for a cup of tea, and when he came out again, he saw Xue Yiyang standing outside.

Xue Yiyang wore brocade robes, and the ups and downs of the officialdom over the years did not stain his brows with any worldly air, but it did add a bit of grace, and even when he was not smiling, he had an aura that made his calves cringe.

Seeing Zhao Yuan, Xue Yiyang frowned.

Zhao Yuan remained silent, seeming to understand why he came.

After a while, Xue Yiyang heaved a long sigh: "You know that the Buddha Embroidery Workshop has already started selecting materials for sewing a month ago, and the pattern embroidery has been seen by Ling Buddha himself, and we can tailor the clothes just waiting for you to come back... "

Xue Yiyang didn't say what kind of clothes he was sewing, but Zhao Yuan naturally understood, but he just replied: "That's not important."

Xue Yiyang was sad: "Have you really decided like this? There is no room for redemption?"

Zhao Yuan squinted her eyes, looked at the misty sky, and said calmly in a moment: "It's just... I'm sorry for you."

-

It has been a day since Gu Xiangtan fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes, it was still brightly lit outside, and saw Zhao Yuan standing by the bed, bending over to hug him.

Gu Xiangtan obediently asked Zhao Yuan to dress and wash him, and then carried him out of Sumeru Hall. When he saw the carriage parked there, Gu Xiangtan was a little surprised.

"This is……"

Zhao Yuan covered him with a thin quilt, and put a thick cushion behind Gu Xiangtan, saying: "Didn't you say yesterday that you want to go to Tianping County to see Begonias, let's go today."

Gu Xiangtan quietly watched Zhao Yuan running back and forth, and then said "hmm".

He was injured so badly, but Yuanqing went on the road without giving him time to recuperate. The palace had prepared for so long a matter of enthroning him, as well as successors, supervisors... Gu Xiangtan didn't ask about all this , he just thought about it, and tried his best to ask: "After watching Haitang, I want to go back to Luli..."

Zhao Yuan paused, but still nodded, and let Su Xi and An Yin sit in another carriage, while she accompanied Gu Xiangtan, with Bi Fu and Yan Fang driving the horses.

But before leaving, Fu Yalian, Zhao Zeyizheng and others came to see him off.

Fu Yalian's complexion was not very good, but she still smiled when she met Gu Xiangtan.

"Master will come back to see you after a while."

Gu Xiangtan also laughed, and said with difficulty: "Master, you need to pay more attention to your body..."

Fu Yalian's eyes turned red, and she hurriedly said with a smile: "Understood." Then she took out a letter from her sleeve.

"When Abbot Guanshi came to persuade your father, he handed it over for the previous generation of Lingfo. Your father thought it was for him, but later found out that it was not the case. When I took you away, he entrusted it to you." Give it to me, say yes... I will hand it over to you in the future."

Gu Xiangtan took the letter and looked at it, but saw that the inscription on the envelope read: Wake up from relatives.

Wake up... So the abbot didn't get it for him?

Gu Xiangtan accepted the letter and nodded to the master.

On the other hand, Xue Yiyang saw that Zhao Yuan had lost the gloomy look of yesterday, but his eyes were still a little dark, and he only said: "You didn't feel sorry for anyone, I was greedy."

Zhao Yuan paused and said, "Fifth brother, take care of Zhao Ze for me."

He also talked to Zhao Ze and Yizheng. Yizheng didn't mention Gu Xiangtan's illness much, presumably he had explained everything clearly to Zhao Yuan, but he always looked at Gu Xiangtan with It's miserable, and I can't be as indifferent as Fu Yalian, Xue Yiyang and others.

Gu Xiangtan looked at all the people in front of him one by one, and finally he was ordered by Zhao Yuan to go on the road. With a flick of the horsewhip, the little carriage slowly drove out of the small hall where he had lived for many years.

Gu Xiangtan looked at the Guidianlan Palace in the distance along the road. This place, which was left to him with countless misery and despair in his previous life, now seems to be soaked in a different taste, slightly bitter and slightly sour, and there are all kinds of emotions. Repent.

Gu Xiangtan knew that it was all because the person beside him was still there.

At least for now, he is still with me.

When passing through Chengfeng Palace, Gu Xiangtan seemed to vaguely see a figure of Pingting standing there, holding a child in his hands and watching him go silently, Gu Xiangtan watched without blinking until Those Qionglouyuyufeige Liudan gradually went away, and he could no longer see them, so he fell tiredly into the arms of the people around him.

All grievances and grievances are now empty.
