About half an hour later, Xiao Tingshen was outside arranging with the lieutenants around him to deal with the prisoners, bring back Yan Sheng, and pick up Jiang Chong, Concubine Xian and others.Unexpectedly, when he raised his eyes, he saw a thin and slender figure walking out of the hut, who else could it be if it wasn't Gu Chen?

Xiao Tingshen felt the fire in his heart flare up again—why does this person not know how to cherish himself, he is sick, has a fever, is injured... He still can't be locked up, and he still wants to run out ?

He didn't finish the matter here, so he could only look at Gu Chen from the corner of his eye while talking to the lieutenant general.I saw Gu Chen with his head down, not too fast, but slowly walking away from the camp.

...Is this person going outside the camp?

Xiao Tingshen immediately became a little anxious.The place where they are now camping is on a flat and open land on the top of the mountain, but Gu Chen looks like he is going to leave here and go further and further away... Could it be that this person got angry because of the Xuanhu order and felt that Being wronged, want to run away from home?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tingshen felt that a nerve in his brain was broken. He uncontrollably took two steps in the direction of Gu Chen and was about to catch up, leaving the lieutenant at a loss: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what do you want to say?" I haven't finished talking yet, how will General Yan arrange...?"

His Majesty turned around and roared angrily: "You don't know how to do it yourself? I want to teach you everything!?"

The lieutenant who was yelled at for no reason: "..."

He had no choice but to stand where he was wronged, and watched His Majesty rush towards the outside of the camp as if he had stepped on a hot wheel.

Xiao Tingshen followed Gu Chen far away, walked out of the camp, and walked up the mountain.

He knows how good Gu Chen is, and he will definitely find out if he follows him normally.But now it may be because of his injury and weakness, Gu Chen has always been ignorant of him, and continues to walk slowly alone.

This is the way to the cliff.

Even though he knew that Gu Chen would not jump off a cliff just because he got angry, Xiao Tingshen couldn't help but get nervous.He stared closely at Gu Chen's figure in front of him, fearing that something might happen and he would not be able to save him in time.The two walked one after the other, and soon reached the top of the cliff.

Gu Chen's footsteps paused, and Xiao Tingshen reflexively hid behind the tree—he thought Gu Chen had found him.But Gu Chen just looked around, as if looking for something.

He stood for a while, then walked towards a small forest on the right.He parted the long grass, went into the woods, and began to observe tree by tree.Xiao Ting followed behind him silently, saw him search for a while, and stopped in front of a willow tree.He bent down and seemed to reach out to touch something at the root of the tree.

Then Gu Chen squatted down, picked up a branch from the side, and began to dig the soil one by one.Xiao Ting felt that he had never been so curious before, so he approached quietly, stretching his neck to watch Gu Chen's movements.

Gu Chen dug under the tree for a while before digging out a small pit.He lowered his head, reached into the pit, and took out a round object from it.He blew on the floating dirt on it, wiped the surface with his sleeve, and lifted it up to look at it.

...that was the Xuanhu Order.

It was Xiao Ting who couldn't find it all, thought that Gu Chen had lost it, and finally got angry with Gu Chen because of this Xuanhu order.

Xiao Ting stared at it in a daze, and his mind became clear for a moment: Gu Chen never lost the sign at all, on the contrary, he always carried the things with him, even when he ran to such a far place in southern Hubei, he still carried them with him.He must have felt hopeless here before. He thought it was impossible for him to go back alive, so he buried the token here. He didn't want the token to be buried on the cliff with him, and he didn't want it to fall into the hands of the enemy. .

He didn't take it seriously at all, on the contrary, he took it too seriously.So much so that even in a desperate situation, I still want to keep it.

how does he...

How about Gu Chen...

...no explanation at all.

This man is simply...

Xiao Tingshen could no longer restrain the emotion surging in his heart, he strode forward and hugged Gu Chen tightly in his arms the moment he got up.Gu Chen's hair rubbed against his nose, exuding a faint fragrance, like a seed that fell gently in his heart, and its roots were deeply embedded in the soil.

He thought it was impossible for him to let go of this man again.

Even if his hand is cut off, he must hold on tight to this person; even if he dies, he must tie Gu Chen by his side, and he will belong to him in the next life, the next life, and even the next life after life.

His nose was sore, he gritted his teeth, and his voice was a little harsh: "...Why didn't you explain it clearly to me?"

Gu Chen was uncomfortable being held by him, and he couldn't struggle, so he could only blink innocently: "...the situation was so chaotic at the time, what if I really lost it..."

"I'll give you another piece."

Gu Chen: "...Your Majesty, that's not what you said just now."

"That's my fault." Xiao Ting hugged him deeply, buried his head in the hollow of his shoulder, and let out a puff of steam as soon as he spoke, "I apologize to you, I blamed you by mistake."

Gu Chen shook his head, and was about to speak, when he suddenly raised his eyes and saw two armored soldiers looming in the distance, they should be soldiers brought by Xiao Tingshen up the cliff to clean the battlefield for the last time.As soon as his ears became hot, he immediately pushed Xiao Tingshen, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please let go of the minister first, someone is coming..."

"When it comes, it will come."

"But they will see us!" Gu Chen was a little anxious, and pushed him again, "Your Majesty!"

Xiao Ting was as steady as a rock.

"Your Majesty! Let me go!"

Xiao Tingshen pretended to be dead.

"Your Majesty, they are really here..."

Xiao Tingshen finally moved: he raised his head from Gu Chen's shoulder, turned his head and glanced at the two people coldly, and the two people also saw them, and immediately froze in place with the expression of being struck by lightning, stunned.

"What are you still doing?" Xiao Ting snorted deeply, looking like a cruel and bloodthirsty tyrant, "Get lost!"

Those two people were so frightened that they couldn't see their shit, and they crawled away.

Xiao Ting turned back and smiled at Gu Chen: "Okay, let's go."

Gu Chen: "..."

After being speechless in Siyi Hall last time, he was at a loss for words again.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Chen blushed and returned to the camp with Xiao Tingshen—in fact, the majesty wanted to hug him, but Gu Chen refused to agree. In the end, he finally kept his reputation and walked back on two legs.

As soon as he entered the room, the lieutenant general who had talked to Xiao Tingshen earlier got up and greeted him, obviously he had been waiting here for a long time.Gu Chen recognized him. His name was Li He, and he was previously the commander of the Jingxi Camp, one of the two major camps in the capital.Seeing Gu Chen, the general immediately made a strange movement - he lowered his head and stared at the ground, as if a flower had bloomed on the ground.

Gu Chen:?

Although he felt strange, he didn't show it, he just watched Li He walk up to Xiao Tingshen, handed over a secret letter in a polite manner, and then said in a flat voice: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from Beijing, please report it urgently. "

Xiao Ting opened it and took a glance, nodded: "I see, you make arrangements and leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Li He said, still staring at the ground, then turned around quickly, and ran away as if running away.Gu Chen looked at his movements in bewilderment, wondering what was wrong with this man, why did he seem to be so afraid of himself?

Xiao Tingshen's voice came from behind: "What's wrong?"

"...he seems to be very afraid of me."

"Oh." Xiao Tingshen said calmly, "I ordered you before, anyone who dares to look at you should dig out his eyes."

Gu Chen: "..."

"Look at this."

Xiao Tingshen didn't notice anything, and handed him the "secret letter" casually.Gu Chen hesitated for a moment: For no other reason, he understood what the symbols on this secret letter meant, and only His Majesty the Emperor could read it in person, and others would be beheaded if they read it.

His momentary hesitation was also noticed by Xiao Tingshen, the man's expression darkened immediately, and he was about to get angry again, Gu Chen quickly took it over, opened the letter and glanced at it.

The content is very short, but there is only one sentence: Wang Yongke escaped from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment when Xiao Tingshen left Beijing.

After reading the letter, Gu Chen raised his head and frowned: "He took advantage of your leaving?"

Xiao Tingshen has been staring at him since he read the letter. At this moment, he nodded slightly and said one word succinctly: "Yes."

Gu Chen: "..."

His first reaction was: It's all his own fault.

If not for himself, Xiao Tingshen would not have left Beijing either.He obviously wanted to solve Xiao Tingshen's worries for the future, but in the end he caused him trouble, not to mention putting himself in danger, and even asked the emperor to bring someone to rescue him...so much so that the capital was empty, and Wang Yongke took advantage of it.

Perhaps it was because he was silent for too long, Xiao Ting gave a deep cough, and then said: "I will definitely catch him, don't be angry."

"I didn't... What did your Majesty say?" Gu Chen was puzzled, "Why are you angry?"

"...Wang Yongke escaped, your brother..."

Gu Chen couldn't laugh or cry: "This is not what I think about." He paused and said in a low voice: "Perhaps Your Majesty shouldn't have come to save my minister. This is simply..."

...He ran all the way here for a courtier and was taken advantage of. It's a bit like a foolish king.

Xiao Ting frowned fiercely, and said in a bad tone: "You let me watch you die!?"

"I don't mean that." Gu Chen said, "I just think...send someone to help me..."

"I'm not worried."

"what?"

"Don't you understand?" Xiao Ting stared at him deeply, "I don't trust you to anyone."

His expression was cold and solemn, and his eyes were deep-set. Gu Chen felt that those eyes seemed to pass right through him, and hit his heart lightly.He opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he closed his mouth.After a while, he lowered his head and whispered, "Thank you."

It's not a subject against the king, but Gu Chen against Xiao Tingshen.

Xiao Ting frowned deeply, leaned over, held Gu Chen down, and forced him onto the bed.

"Don't think too much." Xiao Ting said in a deep voice, "You take a good rest. I promised to give you an explanation, and I will definitely give you an explanation."

He took the letter from Gu Chen's hand and put it back in his sleeve.Then he turned around and went out, waving for Li He.

"Get ready and leave for Beijing tomorrow." He said, "Send a letter to the capital and follow my arrangement before leaving."
