master and servant

"Creating chaos? Colluding with fugitives?" Xie Yusheng listened to Gu Zhige's report with a half-smile.

Gu Zhige lowered his head and remained submissively silent, but his posture was full of stubbornness.

"How could it be possible to do this! He promised to come back in spring, so he really came back! His loyalty is only for me, do you understand?"

"Understood. But the other dead soldiers in Hongcheng Villa also came here." And their death festivals have been seen by all in the previous siege.

Xie Yusheng dropped the notebook, "Get lost."

"A dog will only recognize its owner once. If it changes hands, it would not be a pity to kill it." The emperor was not surprised by the development of this matter at all. It is not surprising that you are around you, who has become famous for his medical skills."

"He's not the kind of person who would give Hongcheng Villa his life in return. Hongcheng Villa treats him like a stepping stone that can be seen everywhere. I confide in him, and he naturally treats me with sincerity."

The emperor narrowed his eyes. The two brothers looked quite similar, but they had been in charge of the highest power for many years, which naturally brought an invisible pressure to the emperor's eyes.

"Do you think you are Uncle Zhi? Do something wrong and be such an idiot." The emperor reprimanded, "Sneak at the harsh words, greedy for extra things; those who have the talents of the state are not allowed to be reused, so that they are ruined. You are reduced to an assassin, like a pearl sparrow, so stupid. Think about what stupid things you are saying!"

Gu Zhi also followed this group of knight-errants to their meeting point, and unexpectedly ran into Ji Wuyou again.

"Why are you here?" The two asked this question almost at the same time, and then laughed at each other.

"So, this is the general stronghold of the martial arts rebels who don't want to submit to the imperial court?"

"Are you going to write this down and report it to King Jin?"

Gu Zhi also shook his head.

Ji Wuyou stood up and stretched her waist. She was not as bright and glamorous as before, but she had a more relaxed attitude that she didn't have before.

"I don't think so. Whether you are a dead man or a knight, in the final analysis, you are still a man of the rivers and lakes. Although there are snakes and rats, in the end, which one can leave the rivers and lakes."

Rescuing so many captured knights did not make the people here much happy.

The number of people they lost in this process was not much different from the number of people who were rescued, not to mention a lot of hidden troubles were exposed, and they fell into a passive position.

The lobby was crowded with people, and there were fierce disagreements over the direction of the next action.

"A few more "victorious rescues" like this, and there will be no one left. We didn't die on the day when the sect was in chaos, but lost all our capital in the subsequent rescues. It's a good plan and a good goal." Some people have yin and yang strange air way.

"Are you going to wait for me to flee in all directions, and ignore the shackles of relatives and old friends? Then why are you practicing martial arts? Why don't you use up your skills early, pick up a hoe and lead a cow to be an old farmer, and spend the rest of your life in peace!" Someone said. retorted angrily.

"I'm afraid that in the end, even if you want to be an old farmer, you won't be able to. These days the search is getting stricter, and it's not an option to live in this humble small farm. Who knows that other wealthy households who may have had conflicts of interest in the past will not look here. Sudden comings and goings of people acting suspiciously, have they reported it to the government?" Some people were pessimistic.

"Such a large-scale and rigorous search operation cannot last for too long. Both the officials and the common people can't bear the toss of the Tian family. Maybe in a year or so, the limelight will pass." Some people are optimistic. hope.

But they were still unable to reach a unified opinion.

The radicals even wanted to unite with other local clan dignitaries, and exhausted all means including mobilizing the army to force the palace to assassinate, and take the place of someone else on the throne.

Conservatives are even willing to change their appearance and become ordinary people. As long as they are no longer chased by the court's hawks and dogs, even if they work hard at sunrise, it is better than worrying about their lives. Be a dog at the foot of the imperial court!

Gu Zhi listened silently from the outside, not knowing whether to laugh or cry for a while.Obviously these people escaped the net of heaven and earth and are still safe and sound, but they are more deprived of freedom than those in prison.

Who could have imagined it?

Finally someone let out a long whistle with strong internal force, which made everyone quiet in shock.

This man has sword-like eyebrows and star-eyed eyes, and has an extraordinary appearance. Although his figure is quite haggard and his clothes are poor, he can't hide his natural righteousness.

"My fifth son of the Qi family, there are still [-] relatives imprisoned in Beijing, including the younger brother and elder brother, I believe that my desire to save my family, teachers and friends is no less than anyone present here. Even so, I have to admit that it is still possible to rob a few scattered criminals. It is just wishful thinking to go to the prison to rescue a large number of criminals. I have also experienced prison disasters before, and I have a new idea while sitting With the vastness of the world and the vastness of the rivers and lakes, even if the emperor wants to grasp the universe, there is still a place where he can't reach it. Four poles and eight barrens, it can be said that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Especially the northwest and southeast, one back to the deep desert, one It is adjacent to the distant sea, and it is also a gathering place for merchants to communicate and communicate with other countries in the Three Thousand Other Continents. Teacher's teaching. For us, the most painful and saddest thing is the severance of the family school that has been passed down from generation to generation. Nine deaths in the raging sea and wild sand, but if we take root in this desperate situation, we will one day be prosperous again, and we will surely take revenge today! People in the rivers and lakes will not die, and the rivers and lakes will not dry up!"

The man's words drew applause and applause.It not only satisfies the desire of the conservatives to save their lives, but also satisfies the ideals of the radicals to avenge the bloodstains. For a while, the focus of discussion has shifted to where to go, to go forward with whomever, to rebuild the sect, and to form together. Alliance, to resist foreign humiliation.

"Doesn't it feel sad?" Ji Wuyou stood against the wall with his arms around his chest, and smiled wryly at Gu Zhi, "Those who have fallen, sacrificed, and been tainted are never as important as other people's future interests and future. .”

Gu Zhi also shook his head, "This is the best way at the moment, but it's just proposed by him in this status, which comforts everyone's selfishness even more."

After all, the Qi family had the most people falling, and he made the decision to amputate his limbs to survive, and the others must have been happy to follow along pretending not to bear it.

"Are you going to the southeast? Jiuwei Palace and Feihua Palace are originally located in the south of the Yangtze River, and if they are rebuilt further south, they will restore their old appearance soon. Flowers and plants."

Ji Wuyou shook her head, "No, I will go to the northwest." There was a strange starlight in her eyes, "The south is infested with poisonous insects, and the humidity and heat are not pleasant. I have secretly hated it for a long time. Besides, if I unfortunately spill my blood on the desert , I can find Xiaozhong faster."

"Good luck." Gu Zhi smiled.

"What about you?"

"I don't know, I wanted to go back to the capital." Gu Zhi closed his eyes slightly, feeling the cold touch of the jade box next to his body, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for the time being, now... I kind of want to Go back home."

The place where children were once sold for half a bucket of rice, Fengnian is also considered a land of fish and rice.

He disguised himself as a traveling merchant and walked towards the former Hongcheng Villa.He calmly saw his portrait and name on the reward list, which was worth a hundred taels of silver. If he was captured alive, the price would be doubled.

The portrait is so lifelike, marked clearly and meticulously, even he himself doesn't know that the tip of the beauty on his forehead is off by a fraction - it must be measured inch by inch with a ruler from left to right to be so accurate, he thought.

Use the palm of your hand and ten fingers to measure it inch by inch, and it can be done exactly like this.

The village where he was born has been deserted and empty, and the few thin fields are full of vines.The villagers who were driven away by the flood and famine that year may be the only one left after more than 20 years.

He continued to move forward, and after a few days, he saw the once magnificent Hongcheng Villa.

Now there are only broken walls and ruins, and the ground is covered with black ashes.

The courtyard wall of the black courtyard, which he couldn't escape no matter what, has been reduced to ruins. What about the children trained in it?He looked around, only the setting sun was shining.

He even saw the engravings on the wall - the introductory martial arts trained by the dead soldiers and the words to promote loyalty to the lord were all incompletely burned.

Gu Zhi also walked slowly along the path to the nearest small town, trying to find an inn for the night, but found that this place was already a piece of scorched earth.

He was stunned for a moment before he realized that the small town was born attached to the villa, so he might not have escaped the disaster of being uprooted.

It was too late to return to the neighboring town where he set off in the morning, so he had to find shelter in a dilapidated earth temple beside the road when he came.

There were already other people in the temple.

A little beggar leaned under the seat of the god, gnawed some pancakes he got somewhere, visibly shivered when he saw him, looked vigilant, and shrank himself even smaller.

He walked to the other end, tidied up the basket, took out dry food to satisfy his hunger, and at the same time secretly observed the little beggar.

Interesting, he thought, how similar the two of them are now resting.

"Boy, are you interested in leaving here?" He asked, "Look for a place where there is food to eat and a roof to shelter from the wind and rain? It's not a black courtyard."

At the end of February, Concubine Li gave birth to a dragon son, and the emperor was overjoyed, calling him "God-given my son".

In June, the emperor's eldest son celebrated the hundredth day, and a minister wrote a letter saying that last year the emperor stopped the war and quelled the troubles of knights. Mount Tai, announces to the world, communicates with the heavens, and proclaims peace.The emperor was moved, and all the ministers kowtowed at the Prime Minister and his words, but King Jin and several others were a few steps behind, and after some embarrassment, they knelt down to ask each other.The emperor was very happy, and decided to go in October.

"The world regards you as the Crown Prince, unexpectedly...is this God's will?" King Jin's staff sighed.

"Brother Huang asked me to take on the heavy responsibility, so I am naturally willing to share the worries for Brother Huang; otherwise, I would rather indulge in the mountains and rivers and enjoy the joy of red sleeves and fragrance."

"If your Highness really thinks so, then why did you look for me?"

Xie Yusheng smiled without saying a word, but cast his eyes on the two scrolls hanging on the wall.

The person holding a sword and laughing is clearly a person on the reward list; on the other side, Mount Tai is majestic, and the sun rises from the East China Sea.

His eyes fell on the former, and finally stopped on the latter's new sun.
