Zha Gong's evolutionary path

Everyone immediately surrounded him, the man straightened his back, remained motionless, his eyes were still clinging to his eldest grandson like an iron hook.

He was holding the long whip in his hand, as if he wanted to retaliate against him, and a group of people lined up in front of him like a wall of people, covering King Yan behind him.

The white-haired old man was supported and dragged to Lin Gongru's field of vision, with his head down and his chest heaving violently.The old woman was lying at the old man's feet, her eyes were closed tightly, her white hair was disheveled by her temples, and she was still breathing.

Lin Gongru gritted his teeth, threw the long whip, and made a gesture of surrender.

"It has nothing to do with them, I will go with you."

The eldest grandson pushed aside the crowd and walked in front of him, raised his chin with one hand, with a half-smile: "Aren't you running away? Don't play tricks anymore? If you have any skills, use them."

He hated Lin Gongru's tricks so much, he finished his sentence, clenched his fist with his right hand, and suddenly punched the man below the ribs hard.

The man standing upright grunted and clenched his teeth tightly.But still looking at him impartially, a playful smile slowly appeared in his eyes.

For some reason, the contemptuous look in which the hunter did not take the hunter into his eyes despite the fact that the prey was in his hands made Chang Sun's pride in successfully catching him immediately become less obvious.

He squinted his eyes and increased the strength of his hand, this time he raised his hand and slapped Lin Gongru hard.

The clear and crisp sound of slaps spread far and wide in the afterglow of the setting sun, with such force that even Chang Sun Wei himself felt numb in his palms.

The handsome man in front of him turned his head away from the beating, spat out a mouthful of blood, then turned back and looked at him with a nonchalant smile.

"My lord has been chasing after the grass-roots these few days. He must not be able to eat or sleep. Why is he as weak as a girl?" Half of his cheeks were slightly swollen, and the provocation at the corner of his mouth was stronger than before he was beaten. Don't let Caomin teach you, what is a man's way of fighting?"

The eldest grandson almost vomited blood with anger.

He shouted: "Tie him up, this king will take him back to the palace and teach him a lesson!"

"Yes!"

Changsun Dan pushed away Wen Er who had been supporting him all the time, stepped forward and grabbed Changsun Yu's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Imperial Brother, that's all, he didn't do anything against Brother Wei, just teach him a lesson." It's..."

The eldest grandson flicked his sleeves and said to him angrily: "What do you mean by not doing something that violated the rules? Taking away the prince of the dynasty in broad daylight is not a big deal? The emperor doesn't mind losing his position, but this king doesn't have that." The face can bear this breath!"

Changsun Dan said softly: "In order to capture a commoner and mobilize the crowd, not to mention the mobilization of so many people; what is the status of the emperor's younger brother, he has the same knowledge as ordinary people in the countryside. If this matter gets out, it will damage the reputation of the emperor's younger brother." , why not..."

The eldest grandson looked at him with a strange look on his face, as if he knew this emperor brother for the first time.

"You speak for him?" He seemed to think that this was the most incredible thing, "Brother Huang, you have never violated the wishes of this king because of anyone or anything in the past. Today, you want to do it for someone who threatens you." Rough countrymen pleading?"

A blush of embarrassment appeared on Changsun Dan's pale face, he had never directly contradicted Changsun's opinions, even if he disagreed with his actions in the past, he would never reason with him in such earnest words.

After he asked such a rhetorical question, his mind went blank for a moment, and he said in a daze without making any decisions: "Lin Gongru, he..."

The eldest grandson let out a chuckle: "Lin Gongru? Even the names have been exchanged. Brother Huang, brother Huang, you have such a cartilage-like temper, how should I judge you?"

The unknown fire in his heart was even more intense. He didn't know whether he hated Lin Gongru's fearless smile, or hated the emperor brother who had always been under his control. I raised my mouth.

"You have been brainwashed by him, and you will be able to recover after returning to the palace to recuperate for a few days."

He resolutely said that he would not give Changsun Dan a chance to speak, so he jumped on his horse and asked Wen Er to take Changsun Dan into the accompanying double carriage.

Wen Yao approached him and asked softly, "My lord, is this Lin Gongru brought back to Zehao Palace, or dealt with on the spot?" He made a gesture of cutting his hand with a knife.

The eldest grandson was furious, and shouted sharply: "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me say that you should take it back to the palace to teach you a lesson?"

Wen Yao was silent like a cicada, and hurriedly bowed and retreated.He said in his heart that this kid had a bloody bad luck this time, he had drawn out all the anger of King Yan's eight lifetimes, and he would have to suffer a lot when he was brought back to the palace, it would be easier to end it by himself just now.

On that side, Wen Er coaxed his master into the carriage with good and bad words, and the eldest grandson Dan still turned his head frequently to look at Lin Gongru who was escorted by several soldiers to the end of the team.

Wen Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My lord, my good lord, don't look at that daring boy anymore, you don't know that Lord Yan has been chasing you for the past few days, and you're almost insane?" He lowered his voice , "I heard from my little brother that it seems that the palace still knows the whole story, and the Holy Majesty has already sent someone to inquire about the disappearance of the prince..."

Chang Sun Dan was upset, and was taken aback when he heard this.

He seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and grabbed Wen Er's arm, "Did you see the medicinal herbs scattered at Lin Gongru's feet when he was caught just now? Go, ask someone to collect them all, and bring them to me. "

"Huh?" His bodyguard was at a loss.

"Also, remember this place. When you get on the official road, find a doctor to come over and show the old man, and bring some silver taels." Changsun Danyue said that the more he felt owed, he said in a small voice, "Don't tell them it's Who gave it to..."

Wen Er said that his subordinates understood, covered the curtain of the carriage for King Hao, and jumped out of the carriage.

However, he did not follow his master's instructions to collect herbs at the indicated location, but turned around and hurried to the eldest grandson who was at the front of the line.

The eldest grandson sat on the horse, and after listening to his report word by word, he raised his brows: "Herbs?"

"Yes, the prince seems to be very concerned about the herbs brought by that boy. I remember that when Lin Gongru suddenly appeared, there was indeed a basket of herbs dropped by his feet, but it was chaotic at the time, so he didn't pay much attention."

Changsun Yu wondered, did Lin Gongru give Changsun Dan some medicine, and he became addicted to the drug in a short period of time?That's why his imperial brother went out of his way to speak for that white-faced boy?

He waved his hand: "Take it to him as he said, and you should also pay attention to the medicinal materials yourself, and then report to the king truthfully."

"As ordered."

Changsun Kui held a grudge against Lin Gongru, and the hunting team specially prepared a cage with iron bars with rollers on the bottom to lock people inside like wild animals.This is not only for the purpose of strict surveillance, but also to humiliate people.

However, to his surprise, after Lin Gongru was thrown into it, he felt very at ease, he lay down and fell asleep calmly, as if he was used to being transported around like a prisoner.

Of course he didn't know that Lin Gongru had once tied an iron chain around his neck and pretended to be a drugged-up man. Compared to the situation where heavy iron shackles were tied around his neck and limbs all the time, this kind of person who was covered with straw and filled with clean water An iron cage is like raising a pet.

What made Changsun Yu even more angry was that during the journey, Wen Er secretly came to report a few times, why did King Hao ask someone to send medicine for Lin Gongru to heal his hand, bring him fresh melons and fruits, and occasionally visit him in person—— ——Although according to Wen Er’s report, Chang Sun Dan was only far away, and he glanced at Lin Gongru’s cage like a thief, and the two had never had a few words of conversation—but these details are enough for King Yan to be furious up.

"Brother Huang has been sleeping in the open these few days, was it damaged by the cold wind?" He asked angrily, "To visit this troublesome man with such good intentions? When will he learn his lesson for his extra benevolence of a woman?"

Wen Yao was obedient, and waited until King Yan's anger faded a little before he dared to say softly: "My lord, there is news from our informant in the palace. It is said that the sage asked the two lords to report to the sage immediately after they returned to the palace. Condition."

Chang Sun sneered: "The captain surnamed Wu really can't control his subordinates, and he can't hide this stupid thing."

"Actually, Captain Wu can't be blamed entirely. After all, His Majesty has always kept a close eye on the two princes..."

When the son of heaven is over fifty years old, there is only one young prince under his knees, and the other princes are either still in their infancy or mud that cannot support the wall, so they will be more wary of these two twin brothers who are young and middle-aged , is also reasonable.

What's more, in the middle of the [-]th birthday state banquet, the prince of the East Palace was assassinated again. The real culprit has not been arrested so far.

Changsun Kui didn't blame Wen Yao this time, he frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly asked: "Have you found any ingredients in those medicinal herbs?"

Wen Yao leaned close to his ear, and spoke his conclusion carefully.

King Yan's eyes froze, his originally aggrieved face calmed down, and a sly smile slowly appeared on his lips.

"So that's how it is... This kid who sneaked into the barracks actually has such abilities. No wonder Brother Huang is uncharacteristically, and has a strange trust in him."

He said: "After returning to the palace, take him to a separate prison, and this king will personally interrogate him."

"Where is the Holy One...?"

"This king has his own way to deal with it." Changsun Yu reined in the horse's head, floated to the ground, and ordered the team to proceed in the same way, while he drove to the car of Changsun Dan who was following behind.

There was only one day's journey away from the capital, and the eldest grandson was sitting in the car, looking out through the half-covered car curtain, and the scenery in front of him became more and more familiar.

He has been struggling these days, whether to mention the problem of chronic toxins in his body with his eldest grandson, and he is afraid that the emperor will blame him for credulousness, which will further annoy him for being rude to Lin Gongru.

Wen Er reported to him that the herbs were all very common, such as acacia, angelica, plantain, Eucommia leaves, white peony root, shegan, knotweed, cork, etc., any Chinese medicine shop in the capital can get them.

However, even though Changsun Dan didn't know Qihuang, he knew that the medicines used had different dosages and formulas, which could have different effects, either curing diseases or causing poisons.

He wanted to get the prescription from Lin Gongru, so he looked at his cage many times; but he didn't dare to be too blatant.Now he can only hope to get to the palace as soon as possible, find an imperial doctor to check the pulse, and find out whether what Lin Gongru said is true or not.

After all, he has deep brotherly love, no matter how ruthless Chang Sun Yan's actions are, in Chang Sun Dan's eyes, he is the younger brother who holds his clothes and softly calls him Emperor Brother.

Just as he was thinking about it, the curtain of the car was lifted suddenly, and the figure of Changsun Yu came in from outside.

"Brother Huang..." King Yan had a stern expression that was rarely seen, and a hint of anxiety and panic flashed in those dark eyes that were exactly the same as his. "This king has something to discuss with the emperor in detail."
