Binh Duong Order

The speed with which Shen Shuxing fell was completely beyond everyone's expectations. On the second day after Meng Chengyu arrived in Yuanming, Ling'an went up early, and the evidence was overwhelming. Shen Shuxing pleaded guilty and entered the law. In the afternoon, Yuanman received Feige After Yuan Man read the letter, he raised his hand and burned the letter.

Yuan Man is not an accident, nor is it a pity. Shen Shuxing is not a good person in strict terms, but he is also a real hero. Dajing's prosperity in recent years has his credit. Lu also recruited a lot of talents for Dajing. The relationship between Meng Xuande and Shen Shuxing has been seen by Yuanman these years, and she never participated in it. She just watched the play. Loyal, but still unable to gain the trust of the suspicious emperor, she watched Shen Shuxing refute the emperor again and again, the emperor was angry, but he would not touch him.

As far as the relationship between the two is concerned, Meng Xuande has dragged his hands on Shen Shuxing for so many years, and Yuan Man feels that it is too late.

Before Huo Miao licked up the letter, Yuan Man heard the commotion in the camp, and Yuan Man could guess it without paying the bill.

The time when Meng Chengyu got the news would not be much later than himself. Shen Shuxing was sacked. All those under his command will be strictly investigated. It is hard to say how many people will be implicated. Gu Xiujin is no exception. It is just an estimate. Meng Chengyu won't give him a chance to be investigated.

When the camp was besieged, Gu Xiujin probably guessed what happened, but Meng Chengyu moved too fast, there were so many people, he hit Gu Xiujin by surprise, and Gu Xiujin was trapped in his tent, with only Zi Yi by his side. Personally, even if Ziyi's miraculous skills are world-class, in the face of such a net, the hope of escaping is extremely slim, let alone Ziyi was seriously injured before?He looked at Ziyi, and suddenly felt a little sad about the end of a hero.

Meng Chengyu's voice sounded outside: "Criminant Gu Xiujin, Shen Shuxing has pleaded guilty to the law, and now you are arrested and brought back to Ling'an for interrogation, and you will be arrested soon!"

Hearing this cry, Gu Xiujin calmed down quickly. Even if he knew that Meng Chengyu had told others on purpose, but since he had said it, he could take advantage of Meng Chengyu's hypocrisy and could only gamble, so Gu Xiujin took Zi Yi and Lifting the curtain, he came out of the tent with his hands up and said, "It's an imperial order, and I should cooperate."

If Gu Xiujin was arrested, it would not be disadvantageous. After all, he was arrested by Meng Chengyu in the open and in public. He was not afraid of stealing and stealing as long as he had a son by his side. It was not easy for Meng Chengyu to touch him. Besides, he had to interrogate the teacher. He was a witness, and if something happened to him on the way back, Meng Chengyu would not be able to explain.

Outside the tent, the archers surrounded the tent with full bows, ready to shoot Gu Xiujin into a sieve at any time, Gu Xiujin looked around and saw Yuan Man and Mu Fanchen standing not far away, Gu Xiujin felt a little relieved, he Guess is right, Meng Chengyu told them on purpose, Gu Xiujin is still undecided, and beheaded rashly, Meng Chengyu is afraid of falling into the mouth.

It's just okay, so what?With a hint of a smile in his eyes, Meng Chengyu glanced at Ziyi beside Gu Xiujin, isn't there him?

As soon as Gu Xiujin saw Meng Chengyu's eyes, he screamed inwardly, and immediately turned his head to let Ziyi go in, but it was too late, the people around Meng Chengyu got the order, and the hidden weapon in his hand had already been released, which were three silver needles as thin as a cow's hair, It was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, but the moment Gu Xiujin turned his head, he saw Ziyi drew his sword and stood in front of him.

"Dangdangdang."

With three soft beeps, Gu Xiujin knew it was over. Ziyi wasn't him, and he didn't understand the twists and turns in his heart. His goal was only one, and that was to protect him.

The moment Zi drew his sword, Meng Chengyu said loudly: "The guilty minister refused to plead guilty and resisted stubbornly. Hurry up and take him down."

Meng Chengyu took a few steps back, and immediately there were soldiers carrying shields in front of him to protect him. The archer loosened his hands, and thousands of arrows were fired. Countless arrows flew towards Gu Xiujin. He held a sword in both hands, looking like a ghost. The figure seemed to have a shield covering Gu Xiujin's surroundings. Gu Xiujin barely moved, and the flying arrows were chopped off by his side.

Seeing that Gu Xiujin was in danger, Mu Fanchen thought for a moment, turned around and didn't know where he went, Yuan Man saw him running away in a hurry, lowered his head for a moment of thought, then turned and entered the tent.

Meng Chengyu was determined to kill Gu Xiujin. After the three batches of arrows were released, his face turned pale, his blood color receded, and all the unhealed wounds on the lute bone burst, and the blood that flowed out directly stained most of it red. Even so, Ziyi still firmly protected Gu Xiujin, and the arrow that accidentally flew in only penetrated the corner of Gu Xiujin's clothes.

But only Gu Xiujin could clearly see Ziyi's pale joints, slightly trembling hands, and the cold sweat on his head because of the pain. No matter how powerful the shadows were, they were still people, not objects. Although they didn't say anything, they still hurt.

Seeing that it was almost done, Meng Chengyu asked the soldiers carrying spears to stab at Zi Yi, who blocked the three rounds of arrows. His physical strength was exhausted. He never said that the medicine Meng Chengyu gave him was not to seal the internal force, but to block the internal force. Dissipate the internal energy, so his internal energy is less than [-]% left, which cannot support him to take Gu Xiujin away with light work, so now he can only take Gu Xiujin to fight out, but, Zi Yi clenched the sword in his hand again, holding the sword firmly. Holding on to the trembling hands, I don't know if I can hold them.

While Ziyi was killing the enemy, he led Gu Xiujin to carve out a path. Meng Chengyu frowned slightly when he saw Ziyi going forward like he was desperate to kill, but he soon regained his composure. There are so many people there. , what are you afraid of?

Suddenly there was a neighing sound, and everyone looked over. Accompanied by the blowing up dust, they saw more than 20 runaway horses neighing and charging over, rushing into the battle, Meng Chengyu backed away As soon as he opened, the people around him protected him one after another, and the soldiers who were still fighting stepped aside one after another.

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Gu Xiujin. He pulled Ziyi, got on his horse, and the two rode a horse each, and they rode away. Even the roadblock at the gate of the camp could stop them. Meng Chengyu's expression changed, and he immediately ordered The people under his hand chased after him, and those who were ordered couldn't care less about catching the horse anymore. They turned on the horse and chased after him. Seeing the duck in his hand flew away, Meng Chengyu turned cold and said: "Go and investigate, I want to see who dares to ruin my business." He couldn't believe it, it was such a coincidence.

Gu Xiujin rode on his horse and galloped all the way, the cold wind blew by his ears, and there was a voice behind him, Gu Xiujin turned his head and saw more than 20 people on horseback chasing him, he made a decisive decision, immediately turned around holding the reins, and walked towards the pursuers, Gu Xiujin knew As soon as Zizi wanted to stop them, he didn't hesitate, immediately tightened the rein, and ran forward at a faster speed.

At this moment, Gu Xiujin's mind was empty, his mind was filled with only the idea of ​​himself wanting to live, he had no time to think about anything, fearing that someone would find him, Gu Xiujin deliberately changed the difficult and rugged path, abandoned his horse, and went all the way to the deep mountains and old forests Drilling inside, even he himself didn't know where he fled to, until the night fell and the sky was full of stars, Gu Xiujin dared to stop to take a breath.

In the winter, Gu Xiujin was covered in sweat, and his messy hair was sticking to his face and neck. He found a luxuriant bush and hid in it. He hid in it without daring to breathe, and kept taking deep breaths to calm himself down. If you are not emotional, you have to be distracted to pay attention to the movement outside, for fear of chasing soldiers.

When Gu Xiujin was thinking about how he would get in touch with Ziyi and meet him, he was pulled out of the bushes by the back of his collar. It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, Gu Xiujin's three souls and seven souls were all Flying away, I was ready to resign myself to my fate.

But after being pulled out and thrown on the ground, Gu Xiujin looked at the person in front of him who was squatting down and looked at him, his body slowly warmed up, and an inexplicable feeling of peace of mind arose, and after a while, he moved his lips, He regained his voice: "Are you here to catch me?"

Yuan Man raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "I have no personal grudges with you."

Yuan Man sat down cross-legged, and Gu Xiujin got up from the ground, only to see clearly that the person who squeezed him just now was a gourd. The gourd didn't say a word at the moment, and was picking up dead branches beside him, apparently preparing to start a fire.

"How did you find me?" After Gu Xiujin asked, he felt that it was unnecessary.

"Meng Chengyu is not good at coming, so we always keep a few useful ones by his side." Yuan Man did not give Meng Chengyu the most powerful ones who came this time, but let them go to a dark place to wait for orders, Gu Xiujin's affairs As soon as they came out, Yuan Man ordered two people to follow them along with Calabash.

"You come to me." Gu Xiujin's whole body was tense at this moment, it was too easy for Yuan Man to do something to him at this time, but Gu Xiujin's intuition told him that Yuan Man would not, but Gu Xiujin still felt scared, there was nothing he could do, after all the disparity in strength between the two was too great: "What's the matter?"

"Here's someone for you." Just as Yuan Man finished speaking, the gourd lit the bonfire just at this time, and then everything that was originally submerged in the darkness became clear in Gu Xiujin's eyes. He saw the two-step man next to Yuan Man There is a person lying there.

A pale, bloodied, lifeless man.

Gu Xiujin's head buzzed, as if a big clock hit his head, knocking him into a daze, but in the eyes of others, he was extremely calm, walked over calmly, calmly He squatted down to check Ziyi's breathing and pulse, if he ignored the fact that he almost tripped himself.

Gu Xiujin squatted beside Ziyi and didn't speak, his back was facing Yuan Man, and Yuan Man couldn't understand his expression, so he just said to him: "All those chasing soldiers were killed, but they were injured too badly. When I got on the horse to chase you, I fell off the horse. When the gourd caught him, the blood on his body was almost drained. It was already impossible to recover. When the gourd brought him back to see me, he had died Thinking that you would miss him, I followed the sign and found him, and asked you to take another look at him."

Gu Xiujin still didn't speak, Yuan Man went on to say: "Ling'an, your teacher has already pleaded guilty, and your teacher gave the evidence to the emperor with his own hands. In other words, you are not wrong with the wrong person." Let Gu Xiujin know, it can be regarded as a little consolation for him: "After today, don't go back to Ling'an, first find a place to avoid the limelight, this money is enough for you to use for a while." Yuan Man put down a money bag.

"Why?" Gu Xiujin couldn't figure it out: "Why did you help me?" Gu Xiujin turned to look at him. At this moment, shouldn't she take herself back to claim credit?How dare you let yourself go?Even prepare yourself to spend money?Gu Xiujin didn't understand.

Yuan Man ignored his red eyes, and asked him a question instead: "Gu Xiujin, why do you think there is Yuyingsi?"

Why is there Mikage?Wasn't it just for the emperor's convenience that Mikage was set up?Gu Xiujin didn't understand why Yuan Man suddenly asked such a question.

Yuan Man casually threw a wooden stick into the fire, the fire crackled for a while, and a string of sparks sprang out, floating up a few steps before disappearing, and there were flames in Yuan Man's eyes Jumping: "Because the emperor needs Yuyingsi."

"In other words, if the emperor doesn't need Yuyingsi anymore, then Yuyingsi will no longer exist. Mu Deji was the reason for Yuyingsi's existence, and then Shen Shuxing. Who do you think will be next?" Yuan Man Turning to look at Gu Xiujin.

In an instant, Gu Xiujin was enlightened. Yuyingsi was different from any position in the court. He was originally established for the emperor. If the emperor was unhappy, Yuyingsi might be banned at any time. In other words, Yuyingsi exists Whether or not it depends on the emperor alone, so Yuyingsi must have a reason for its existence. In the past, it was Mu Deji and the teacher. Yuanman released himself today to make himself the reason for Yuyingsi's existence!

Gu Xiujin couldn't help taking a deep breath, this was something he had never thought of before, looking at Yuan Man again, Gu Xiujin's eyes were tainted with uncontrollable fear, he never thought that Yuan Man could think so deeply, so far .

Seeing his suddenly enlightened expression, Yuan Man raised the corner of his mouth in satisfaction: "A child can be taught."

"I finally understand." Gu Xiujin said: "Why did the teacher let me participate in Meng Chengyu, but told me not to provoke Yuyingsi." Yuyingsi is not scary, what is scary is Yuan Man.

Gu Xiujin suddenly thought of something and asked, "You and my teacher—?"

"I know." Yuan Man knew what he was going to ask: "Your teacher is one of the few people who have met me."

"But why, the teacher never mentioned you to me? Even if he mentioned it, he just warned me not to provoke Mikage, but he never told him the name of the governor of Mikage, nor told him whether the governor of Mikage was male or female. "After his incident in Yongzhou, he once mentioned Yuanman to his teacher, but the teacher didn't know there was such a person at all.

"Yuanman was taken for the convenience of running around the rivers and lakes. In addition, I deliberately concealed it. It's normal if your teacher doesn't know. It's male and female. Maybe your master doesn't want to admit losing to a woman. After all, if I'm not a woman."

"His position should be mine."

No wonder, who would have thought that the dignified governor of Mikage would lower his status and hang out with them in person?

If it was in the past, Gu Xiujin would definitely have refuted a few words, but after seeing Yuan Man's power, Gu Xiujin secretly compared it in his heart, and had to admit that what Yuan Man said was the truth, no matter from the state of mind , means, or planning, Yuan Man is better than the teacher.

"But now I have nothing." Gu Xiujin is very self-aware: "I'm afraid I will let you down." Gu Xiujin's escape directly made himself a wanted criminal, and he has nothing. Let's see who was able to be the reason for the existence of Yuyingsi before. What kind of people are people, and looking at himself, Gu Xiujin is not so overwhelmed.

"Go find Lord Mu." Yuan Man said suddenly, "Maybe he has what you want."

"What do you mean?" Gu Xiujin sensed something wrong in Yuan Man's words, what happened to Mu Fanchen?What does she know?

Yuan Man stretched out his index finger and tapped his lips twice, expressing that he didn't want to say any more, Gu Xiujin saw that he couldn't ask, so he had to give up, the two fell silent for a moment, Gu Xiujin said: "If the governor returns to Ling'an and sees the teacher, can you Tell the teacher for me?" Gu Xiujin is not stupid, he would not venture back to Ling'an in order to fulfill his last wish, and Zi Yi risked his life to save him. I can ask Yuanman to help me bring a sentence back.

"what?"

"Cultivate one's morality, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. The teacher's teachings are remembered by the students."

The teacher did not disappoint the students, and the students naturally did not disappoint the teacher.

Yuan Man nodded, expressing his agreement, all that should be said was finished, Yuan Man got up to leave, but was stopped by Gu Xiujin: "I want to ask you, what is the meaning of the gesture that Zi Yi gave you?"

Yuan Man glanced at Zi Yi's body, and replied, "Zi Yi asked me, is his mission completed? When can he go back?"

Gu Xiujin had a sore nose, suddenly smiled, and asked, "So, he doesn't want to stay by my side, right?"

"Shadow is not like a shell, it is more rigid. I guess when you bought him, in order to make it easier for you to use, the last task given to him by his shell is to protect you, or, it may also be to listen to you , so he has been fulfilling his mission well."

"The ghost building has rules. It's not that the partner's shadow and shell met outside, but they have to pretend not to know each other. Shadow has always been obedient, but he came to me on his own initiative, explaining... ..." Yuan Man didn't finish his sentence, but he already answered Gu Xiujin's question in a disguised form.

Knowing the truth, Gu Xiujin panicked in his heart. He always felt that Ziyi was not a bodyguard, but a friend, and a younger brother. Although Ziyi was two rounds older than him and lived more than 20 years longer, but because of Ziyi's special , always let Gu Xiujin have the illusion that he is like a child, ignorant of world affairs, Gu Xiujin taught him a lot of things, and gave birth to a feeling.

I didn't usually feel it, but now it slipped out, burrowing into Gu Xiujin's limbs, waking him up little by little, and eating away at him little by little.

It turned out that in his eyes, he was just a task, and it was a task that he wanted to end quickly and get away from quickly. It was ridiculous.

Yuan Man looked at him and didn't speak, just called the gourd to come over, and the gourd came to carry Yuan Man on his back, tapped his toes, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

There were too many changes today, Gu Xiujin endured his sadness and began to deal with the matter in hand, it is useless to be sad, he must cheer up quickly, Gu Xiujin sorted out his emotions, the first thing is to prepare to dig a hole for his son After all, he died for himself.

Gu Xiujin picked up the branches and poked the tomb bit by bit until the next day, when the white belly leaked from the sky, Gu Xiujin finally buried the tomb.

It was a very simple soil bag without even a stele. Gu Xiujin smoothed the last handful of soil on the soil bag with his hands full of mud, patted it and said: "Reincarnate well in the next life. If you have good ears and eyes, you will know that in this life I will How nice to you." Enduring for a moment: "As you wish, you can leave me."

Gu Xiujin clapped his hands, took the money bag Yuanman gave him, and prepared to try it according to Yuanman's suggestion. He was also curious about what secret Mu Fanchen had, so he turned around and took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and looked back at Ziyi's grave, let out a deep breath: "Let's go."

These two words filled Gu Xiujin's infinite heartache. It was only a day. Gu Xiujin is still in a daze until now, but this incident happened so truly. Where Gu Xiujin can't see or touch, everything in his past are quietly passing away.

Gu Xiujin gathered his clothes, turned and left.

I don't know if I will come to this place again in the future.
