The Eight Winds of Rebirth

In fact, Zhao Yuan didn't need to answer, Gu Xiangtan also knew why he wanted to follow him, it was nothing more than worrying about the recurrence of his being tied up that night in Laba.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiangtan smiled faintly: "How could those people be so stupid, and then come back to make trouble after so long? There are already a lot more guards in the palace, so it is not so easy for them to succeed. And..." He He glanced at Zhao Yuan's expressionless face, "You must have heard what I said to Zhao Jie before, since Lingfo has dispelled his doubts about the Three Kings, then I am still of some use to them. I will never be that target again."

After saying that, Zhao Yuan still kept his eyebrows closed and said nothing, Gu Xiangtan felt that all the gravel he threw hit the pile of cotton, and there was no echo at all, he couldn't help feeling depressed, and was about to throw up his sleeves and leave immediately , but he just moved, but his wrist was grasped.

The force in the wrist was neither light nor heavy, but it happened to make him unable to get away. Gu Xiangtan struggled twice, but turned back helplessly and said coldly: "Let go!"

Zhao Yuan didn't move much.

Gu Xiangtan said it again.

Zhao Yuan was still unresponsive.

The two remained in a stalemate for a while, but in the end Gu Xiangtan softened his temper first, and he asked softly, "What do you want from me?" His words were full of helplessness.

Zhao Yuan looked at Gu Xiangtan motionlessly, and suddenly asked back: "Then what do you want from me?"

Gu Xiangtan was startled, and almost blurted out: I want you to avoid misfortune and Fu Mingzhe to protect yourself, I want you to stay in the capital safely, and I want you to live well without disaster and pain!However, just as he was about to speak out, he forcibly endured it. Gu Xiangtan suddenly realized that what he was asking for was not exactly the same as what Zhao Yuan ordered Yanfang in peacetime.You want Yanfang to take care of yourself, and tell yourself to stay away from the outside world and choose a place to live, and don't mess around in the muddy water and meddle in your own business.

Now they are in a different place, but their moods are completely similar. They are the same people, unable to watch each other go through life and death, while they themselves live under the protection of ignorance, standing by and watching, Gu Xiangtan himself can't do it, so what? How dare you beg Zhao Yuan to do this or that?

Looking at Gu Xiangtan's downcast eyes and gloomy expression, Zhao Yuan naturally felt deeply, and he couldn't help but raise Gu Xiangtan to his face.

Yan Fang had gone and returned, but stood far outside the forest, Zhao Yuan raised his hand to him, Yan Fang hurriedly stepped forward and handed him the satin jacket in his hand.

Zhao Yuan shook off her jacket and wanted to put it on Gu Xiangtan, but Gu Xiangtan avoided it.

"I don't want it, I will return it to you after wearing it..." The voice was full of reluctance.

Zhao Yuan didn't care, wrapped him in a satin jacket half-forcedly, carefully adjusted the collar and sleeves, and then continued to lead the man out of the forest with his hands behind his back.

Gu Xiangtan was led by him step by step, and couldn't help but look up at Zhao Yuan's back in a daze. The man was so handsome, tall and straight as a pine, and he was in the prime of his life. He didn't seem to have the destiny to escape from the world, and he couldn't do many things. .A good man has ambitions in all directions. Look at General Hou’s half-life as a soldier. He is admired by the world. Even though he can’t help himself now, he was brilliant enough to be famous for generations to come. Zhao Yuan should be like this, and it’s worth it. In his last life, although he was shrouded in horse leather, Died on the battlefield, but in the vast world, who doesn't know the heroic and prestigious light of the Xiao family army, the majestic and mighty King Xiao should succumb to this and live his whole life?Presumably, this may be worse than death for Zhao Yuancai...

Along the way, Gu Xiangtan thought a lot in his mind, he wanted to let go, but he couldn't let go, he didn't want Yuan Qing to be bound, but he couldn't pass his own test, so he was entangled for a while, There are boundless troubles, and I can't find a way out of relief.

When she got to the Sumeru Hall, Zhao Yuan stopped and turned her head to meet Gu Xiangtan's worried face. The young man in front of him had been showing no signs of emotion since he came to the capital. Floating on it like a mask, Zhao Yuan went from strange to distressed, now that the other party frowns all day because of her, it is rare for him to have a different taste, that taste is slightly sour and numb, like a feather, scratching the tip of his heart At the same time, all the limbs are affected, and all the bones are light and fluffy together.

Zhao Yuan's heart moved slightly, she raised her hand to smooth Gu Xiangtan's temple hair, brushed her fingertips on her cheek, and said softly: "Go in, if there is nothing to do, don't leave the hall alone, that forest, don't go in the future .”

Gu Xiangtan raised his eyes and looked at him. He has grown taller this year, but Zhao Yuan is also growing, so the gap between the two is still the same. Looking at him like this, Zhao Yuan's face is calm, still calm, like Like a normal person, when Gu Xiangtan thought about himself again, he was so worried that he was about to vomit blood, his chest was blocked, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand to pull Zhao Yuan's ear, and then he didn't dare to see his reaction anymore, Hong Turned around and ran into the hall with a straight face...

Zhao Yuan only felt that her earlobe was heavy, and Gu Xiangtan's hand strength was naturally not that great, so it didn't hurt, but she was more surprised.

He couldn't help reaching out to touch it, but in the cold night, the tentacles were extraordinarily hot, just like his heart...

-

The stream of light is fleeting, passing by in a blink of an eye. In a blink of an eye, the pond is frozen with silver, and the wheat seedlings are dewy. It is the time of winter and spring. On the seventh day of March in the 12th year of Zongzheng, the day of heaven and moon, virtue and auspiciousness, "San Ming Ling" says: Those who have the virtue of heaven, the time of the five elements of fortune, if someone meets them, the master will be on the stage to assist them, and those who have the virtues of the moon are especially good.

Such an auspicious day is the wedding day of Daye Crown Prince Zhao Mian.

Emperor Zongzheng naturally invited him, but Gu Xiangtan used the excuse that Buddhist practitioners should not get too entangled with the world of mortals. After the ceremony, he would go to congratulate the prince, but as he attended the ceremony together, that’s all. .

Emperor Zongzheng was reluctant, so Gu Xiangtan stayed in the Sumeru Hall, but even if he didn't leave the gate, he could still hear the joy played by the Secretary of the Jiaofang from a distance, and the golden sound shook the palace merchants.

Holding the purple jade Buddha beads in his hand, Gu Xiangtan stared silently at the empty space in the distance, thinking of the appearance of Gongyi Mausoleum, he didn't know how to feel.

In the evening, the crown prince took the crown princess back to the palace from Duke Jing's mansion, paid homage to the queen of heaven and earth, and hosted a banquet for the courtiers and officials in Chengfeng palace.

This time, almost everyone who should be there has arrived, whether it is the Three Kings and One Clan or Hou Bingchen, etc., all attended the banquet with gifts, and Gu Xiangtan was also sitting among the officials, with General Shenwu on the left and Zhong Xuliang on the right.

This table is full of vegetarian banquets, but without Emperor Zongzheng's hospitality, Gu Xiangtan didn't move his chopsticks much, he didn't eat, and the people on the table didn't dare to feast on it, so why did the table full of dishes come? How did it go.

Gu Xiangtan took a sip of the tea in the cup, and suddenly said to Zhong Xuliang: "Master Xiangguo, is there any discomfort?" Look at this cold sweat, his face is clear and empty, as if he is suffering from a serious illness.

Zhong Xuliang wiped his head with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "No, no, thank you Lingfo for your concern."

Gu Xiangtan nodded, exchanged glances with Hou Bingchen, and didn't ask any more questions.

After the ceremony and banquet were over, Gu Xiangtan was the first to leave the palace gate, but before he could get into the sedan chair, he was stopped by someone in a low voice, and when he looked back, it was Zhong Xuliang.

The right minister folded his palms together and bowed to Gu Xiangtan, then looked into the distance, Gu Xiangtan understood, followed him a few steps, and hid in the dark.

Zhong Xuliang struggled and remained silent, but it was Gu Xiangtan who spoke first: "Master Right, do you have something to say?"

Zhong Xuliang was stunned, and then sighed: "To tell you the truth, my official recently... encountered a strange thing, and the grotesqueness of this matter made my official puzzled."

Gu Xiangtan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Can Mr. Xiangguo explain in detail?"

Zhong Xuliang told Gu Xiangtan about this matter back and forth.

It turned out that one day a monk came to his house and said that there was a disaster in Zhong's house recently and he needed to be careful. He even asserted that there would be floods in Xiaoliu County where Zhong Xuliang's hometown is. Wake up, come to find him again.

"Xiaoliu County?" Gu Xiangtan was surprised, "It's a place that was hit by a disaster before..."

Zhong Xuliang nodded again and again: "Exactly, I don't know what this monk's background is, but he can predict the foresight, which is really shocking."

"Then, has the Right Prime Minister found this strange monk?"

"I found it, I found it, alas, this eminent monk bluntly said that my Zhong family has rushed to the position of disaster star this year and next two years, and the fleeting years are unfavorable. If we want to change our luck, we need to move the grave, so the old man followed his advice and went to Beijing. A incense and candle shop personally took care of the matter."

"Is that improving?"

"This improvement...is there." At least the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not bother with Xiaoyao Gambling House anymore, and Emperor Zongzheng did not bother him any more, but...

"It's just that my old bones are getting worse and worse." It's no big deal if the waist that flashes is not healed. Seven diseases and eight pains are gradually developing, and serious illnesses and chronic diseases are recurring. During these days, Zhong Xuliang has been tossing hard .

Hearing this, Gu Xiangtan couldn't help laughing. Xiaoyao Gambling House was able to keep it because he didn't kill it all. Of course, it wasn't Zhong Xuliang who let him go, but Gu Xiangtan felt that Zhao Yuan might have something to do with this gambling house. Well, before Gu Xiangtan figured out the ins and outs, he couldn't do it rashly. As for Zhong Xuliang's illnesses, I think it was all the credit of the Three Kings. It might be useful to keep him alive.

Gu Xiangtan seemed to be in deep thought, and said for a moment: "Master Xiangguo should seek the imperial physician to take a good look."

"I've looked at it, but I can't see anything wrong with it. That's why this old man has the courage to seek help from Lingfo, to see if he can give some advice."

Gu Xiangtan heard it, Zhong Xuliang thought he was under some kind of sorcery, and came to Gu Xiangtan to exorcise the ghost.

"Too much desire is suffering, life and death are exhausting, less desire is inaction, and body and mind are at ease." Gu Xiangtan thought for a while, and sincerely comforted him, "Fame and fortune are nothing but things outside of the body. It's going to be hard."

Seeing that Zhong Xuliang was silent, Gu Xiangtan said that all. If he can figure it out and let go of everything, there may be a way back. If he insists on going his own way, then there is only...

Gu Xiangtan nodded to Zhong Xuliang, turned and left.

Originally wanted to go back to Xumi Hall directly, but saw that there was a green leather sedan chair not far away. Gu Xiangtan looked around and saw no one, so he couldn't help but took two steps back, and then turned back.

The banquet in the palace was over, and the crown prince had already returned, so Gu Xiangtan walked slowly along the outer corridor, and finally saw a few people outside a small garden.

The person standing tall and straight, with his hands behind his back, was Zhao Yuan, and on the other side were Mou Fei and Bi Fu, each of them was carrying a person with sloppy footsteps, and it was difficult to walk in the same place.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhao Yuan turned her head to see Gu Xiangtan, and immediately frowned.

"Why are you still outside at such an hour?"

Gu Xiangtan took two steps forward, stood next to Zhao Yuan, ignored his harsh words, looked at the man and said, "Master Gao is drunk?"

The person being coerced was the son of the Zuo Xiang family who had met Gu Xiangtan a few times, Gao Jinting, Gao Jinting was very strong, Mou Fei and Bi Fu used some strength to restrain him, but he Still struggling there, about to get out if you don't notice, still muttering words, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes sad and sometimes happy.

Zhao Yuan said to Mou Fei and Bi Fu, "Take him away."

Then he pulled Gu Xiangtan to walk ahead.

Zhao Yuan's sedan chair was given to Gao Jinting, and Zhao Yuan and Gu Xiangtan shared the same sedan chair, but just after they left Chengfeng Palace, someone outside blocked the way, and when they lifted the curtain, it turned out to be a familiar maidservant.

The maid first glanced at the sedan chair on the other side, then slowly approached, then took out something from her sleeve and handed it over, said softly: "Please tell Mr. Gao, and said: "When the cloud goes, there will be a return day. Moisture is not appropriate."

After saying that, his eyes turned red, and he blessed his body again, before he left in a hurry.

Gu Xiangtan looked at her back, then lowered his head, and saw a white jade bracelet lying in his palm.
