Qi Huang

Xiao Ling's body was lingering with a faint scent of medicine all the year round.

Firstly, he experienced the destruction of the Xiao family, and his foundation was injured in that battle.If he hadn't practiced martial arts since he was a child, and traveled all over the world with General Xiao, honing his body into a strong body, he might have gone to see the King of Hades sooner.Nowadays, it is not easy to be able to live a good life if you can no longer be a general who rides horses and whips and travels thousands of miles a day.

Second, it's his legs.

Qingzhu never believed that Xiao Ling's leg was broken.He was raised in Xiao's family since he was a child. When Xiao's family was destroyed, these young servants and maidservants would have suffered along with them, but Xiao's mother was kind and asked someone to send Qing Zhu and other innocent children out before the execution.After they went into exile for several years, only Qingzhu survived.

After several rounds of twists and turns, the surviving old part of the Xiao family found Qingzhu, changed his face and name, and served Xiao Ling around.

In addition to martial arts, Qingzhu is also good at medicine, and Xiao Ling's training is fully entrusted to Qingzhu.

It can be said that these medicinal scents on Xiao Ling's body that can be used as sachets are all thanks to the green bamboo.

But Xie Xuan seemed to like this taste very much, after a while, he fell asleep with Xiao Ling's hand on his pillow.

Xiao Ling looked down, and after a few moments, he gently withdrew his hand.

The room was dark, Xiao Ling's hand paused in the air for a moment after regaining freedom, and then, as if giving up on himself, it lightly landed on Xie Xuan's face, brushing Xie Xuan's eyebrows inch by inch from top to bottom.

When she closed her eyes, Xie Xuan looked extremely well-behaved, which depended on heredity.

Phases are born from the heart.When he was still young, Xie Xuan was abused by eunuchs, and his body and heart were covered with scars. When looking at people, he was too sinister.But now, he is still young, has no experience in the world, and is not as indifferent as Xie Qingshan, so he is naturally not as calm as him.

This is his cuteness.

The touch is extremely vivid and hot on the fingertips, like a long-awaited longing.

Xiao Ling thought that his heart would not move anymore.

The lighted lamp was suddenly blown out by the wind, alarming Xiao Ling.

He suddenly withdrew his hand and put it on the armrest, curled his fingers into his sleeves as if covering his ears and stealing the bell, and turned away from looking at his peace of mind.

He escaped from the palace and rushed to Yongzhou... In fact, he also suffered a lot.

The Empress Dowager stared at him, as well as at the old department in Yongzhou, just to be wary that they would reconcile one day and plot more.

Logically speaking, Xiao Ling could not leave so easily.

Before the fire broke out, the queen mother had wanted to kill him.

For so many years, the reason why the Empress Dowager has been apprehensive and dare not easily raise a knife against Xiao Ling, even except for house arrest, can almost be described as connivance in other aspects, is not because of the gold medal for avoiding death.

The Empress Dowager was afraid of the old members of the Xiao family who were scattered throughout the Zhou Dynasty.

They are ants, not worth mentioning, but if they are not controlled, they will be the source of disaster that can make the embankment of a thousand miles fester.

Those people were all real men who followed Xiao Shen to conquer Goguryeo alone, and shed blood on the border. They followed his followers and died of injustice, and they themselves became bereaved dogs.

The tiny butterfly wings can also cause a storm thousands of miles away. The Queen Mother was unable to kill them all back then, but now she is also afraid of them.

Xie Qingyan from Yongzhou was a bait thrown by the Empress Dowager.

For the time being, she has no chance to kill all the members of the Xiao family, but she can handle the princes and grandchildren of the Xie family as she pleases.Xie Qingyan was rescued by Feng Yi back then, and the Queen Mother knew it well, after the failed chase, she did not suffer.

She took advantage of this matter to make Huaiyuan Wang's lineage stay away from Bianjing, leave the court and no longer intervene in central political affairs, and let them station in the extremely cold place in northern Xinjiang, suppressing the power of the Feng family in disguise.

Things in the world are not black and white, positive or negative, and the struggle for power is balanced through constant back and forth.

The one who broke the balance now was the idiot Xie Qingyan.

The Empress Dowager was sure that she could wipe out all the old Xiao Clan this time, so she dared to attack Xiao Ling.

Before leaving the palace, the fire burned everything, Xiao Ling knew the queen mother's thoughts clearly.

If he dies in this fire, then later on, the Empress Dowager only needs to borrow the Li family's Yongzhou army to wipe out the main force of the old Xiao clan.

If nothing happens, you can also mobilize the backhand.

Without Qingzhu by his side, he was alone in the game with the thousands of troops behind the Queen Mother, which was really too weak for a single person.Then this move was caught off guard, Xiao Ling was not fully prepared.

Xiao Ling was indeed almost planted in that siege-like fire.

But for some reason, a force in the dark helped him.

That is a third-party force that does not belong to the Xiao family, nor does it belong to the Queen Mother.Xiao Ling couldn't figure it out. After thinking about it, until he came to Yongzhou and saw Xie Xuan, he finally had some thoughts about the person who helped him escape.

Xiao Ling probed Xie Xuan's forehead with his hand, the touch was still hot, but much better than when he just arrived.

His sources of information are not extensive, but because he knew that Xie Xuan had drunk hook kisses, he paid attention to him intentionally or unintentionally.Although he came to Yongzhou not long ago, he knew a lot about some things, including Xie Xuan's physical condition.

Compared with northern Xinjiang, Yongzhou's four seasons are at least limited, but compared with the warm Bianliang, it is still an extremely cold place.

He put Xie Xuan's hand into the quilt, and covered the corner of the quilt for him. Before turning around, he took a deep look at him, and then steered the wheelchair to go out.

Someone is waiting outside the door.

He looks like a mature man with an old-fashioned appearance. The most eye-catching thing is a scar on the arch of his eyebrow, which runs from the left ear to the right jaw, as if his head was split in half and then reattached.

There were steps at the gate, and the guards outside Xie Xuan's room were lying sprawled on the ground, as if fainted.Seeing Xiao Ling going out, the middle-aged man kicked their limp bodies away one by one, picked Xiao Ling up from the wheelchair shortly, and carried him on his shoulders.

Xiao Ling's expression did not change, he found a secure position on the shoulders of a mature man and sat down, lowering his eyes proudly.

"Master." The grown-up man said, "Qingzhu..."

"I told you not to call me Young Master." Xiao Ling frowned and said, "What about Qingzhu?"

"He's coming to Yongzhou..." The middle-aged man changed his address in a daze, "It seems that Mr.'s golden cicada escape in the palace didn't fool him."

He wanted to get rid of Qingzhu, but also wanted him to be free.Anyone who is deeply involved in the quagmire of old things must not be completely unscathed when he withdraws.Xiao Ling has been tossing and turning in this world for decades, and he doesn't want Qing Zhu to sink with him.

People outside the matter should have a life of worry-free life.

It's a pity that Xiao Ling is stubborn, and Qingzhu is also stubborn, even if he saw the corpse of "Xiao Ling" with his own eyes, he still didn't believe that his husband was dead, so he traveled to Yongzhou for several months to find them.

Xiao Ling said: "Forget it, if he wants to stay, he can stay, there is no need to drive him away."

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded, and said again, "Then..."

He wanted to talk about their plans.

In the posthouse here, although most of the people have been killed by them, there may still be unknown eyes hidden in the places where every beam of light does not reach.

He hesitated to speak, thinking, originally they planned to take the head of the Lizhou mansion, but seeing Xiao Ling's appearance, why did they seem to have changed their minds?

The middle-aged man quietly looked back at the room, it was dark covered by the window, he didn't know who was in the room, it made Xiao Ling change his expression...

Xiao Ling's expression was not very good when he first entered.

So, should Li Jingyang kill or not?

While thinking, Xiao Ling said, "Go see Li Jin."

The middle-aged man was startled, and blurted out: "Have you really changed your mind?"

Xiao Ling smiled contemptuously: "Who said I changed my mind? The state government wants to kill, but don't forget, Li Jin and I are in an alliance."

For outsiders, Xie Qingyan suddenly appeared in Yongzhou. However, he was originally well protected by King Huaiyuan. Why did he suddenly disappear after so many years and travel all the way to Yongzhou?

A stupid idiot will be beaten to death by the wicked while walking halfway, or starved to death because he can't take care of himself.

Unless...someone brought him here on purpose.

The reason Xie Qingyan was able to come to Yongzhou was because of Feng Jiuyuan.

It can also be said that it is because of the Queen Mother.

The two of them played this double play. The queen mother asked Xie Xuan to destroy the bandits on the border of Quzhou and Yongerzhou, which was also to lure Xiao Ling to act; and the appearance of Xie Qingyan was to lure Li Jin. The antipathy that was about to move had long been uncontrollable.

The queen mother had set up a trap a long time ago when she let Li Jin go back to Yongzhou.She is not letting the tiger go back to the mountain, but leading the snake out of the cave.

This poisonous plan kills two birds with one stone.

The stone is Xie Qingyan, the bird is Li Jin, and the other is Xiao Ling.

She wants to use the hands of Xie Xuan and Feng Jiuyuan to pull out these two thorns in the flesh that have been in the flesh for many years.

Since the Empress Dowager has paved the way for him, if he doesn't go up, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the kindness of others?

He is no longer indecisive...he is not an indecisive person.

Xiao Ling patted the shoulder of the middle-aged man, without turning his head: "Let's go."

In the middle of the night and at dawn, Xie Xuan was awakened by a loud noise.

The moment he opened his eyes, the picture of Xiao Ling was still in his mind.

He sat up, dazed for a long time, unable to tell whether he was in a dream or in reality.

But his body has improved a lot, he no longer has fever, and his head is no longer dizzy. Feeling carefully, it is clear that there is no fire in the house, and he doesn't feel cold anymore.Xie Xuan raised his hand, twisted his knuckles and smelled it, and sure enough, he smelled the familiar scent of medicine.

Not a dream.

Xie Xuan gently rubbed her fingertips, rubbing the fragrance into her fingertips.

The shouting outside grew louder.

He restrained himself and pushed the door out, without the barrier of the door, the shocking shout almost rushed into his head.However, the guards have not been seen for a long time, Tan Xia is also missing, and even Ye Yi is not there.

Xie Xuan spent some time, hesitating between "Go and find Qin Ting first" and "Go and see what happened first", and finally chose the latter.

But he failed to leave the post house.

The dignitaries were awakened by the sound, and ran out wrapped in coats.When Xie Xuan went out, they had already figured out what was going on. Seeing that Xie Xuan was about to go out, they stopped him in shock.

"Little Highness!"

After the initial search at this moment, most people knew that His Highness the Thirteenth Prince also lived in it.The old official was a familiar face, and he was also the one who had a little friction with Xie Xuan back then.

He grabbed Xie Xuan and said nervously: "Don't go out at this time! Something big happened!"

Xie Xuan stopped and looked back, smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what happened?"

"Then Li Jingyang, Lizhou Mansion, was killed at the gate of the mansion!" The official was still a little scared, and when he spoke, his breath trembled with fear, "Damn it, this is the gate of the state mansion. Who is so bold to kill court officials!"

Xie Xuan's eyes darkened: "Have you found out who did it?"

Official: "Who else could it be! They told Li Jingyang to kill those bandits sooner! They didn't listen! The lazy government is so lazy that he lost his life, he deserves it!"

Is it that group of thieves?

Xie Xuan looked up.

The post house was not far from the government office, standing at the door and looking out, you could still see the flames spreading from there.

He slept soundly last night, but he didn't know that the iron gong of the war outside had already sounded.

He thanked the old official, turned and walked to his room.But he walked very slowly. The death of the state capital at the gate of the government office is indeed a shocking event, and it may spread to the capital in the near future.

who did it?

Xie Xuan stopped walking.

The answer is self-evident.

The guard yard of the post house was stopped at the entrance, in order to prevent the nobles living inside from being bumped into, it also carried a hint of threat—maybe who gave the order, the murderer who killed Li Jingyang might be a bandit, or it might be someone Those who fish in troubled waters.

It is protection and surveillance.

After those guards were knocked unconscious, they still haven't woken up.When Ye Yi was away, Ah Hei also returned to Feng Jiuyuan's side, and Xie Xuan had no one to protect him at this time.

But even so, he still wanted to go out and have a look.

He was never willing to passively receive information.

The day finally dawned.

A group of people who were not awakened by the movement got up early in the morning to hurry, but were told to stay in the post and wait for the next step from the official.They just came here to rest their feet, and they seemed to be either rich or expensive, and when they heard that they were going to be under house arrest, they immediately started making trouble.

After all, the nursing home was just a nursing home, and they couldn't stop it twice, so they had to let them go.

Xie Xuan was in the mix.

He secretly found a young man about his age, took advantage of his unpreparedness, knocked him unconscious with a knife, and then naturally went out with the crowd.

Xie Xuan didn't care about Li Jingyang's life or death, but if there was trouble in Yongzhou because of Li Jingyang's death, he would take care of it.

Xie Xuan avoided conspicuous places all the way, he wanted to go to the government office to see the situation first.Perhaps Feng Jiuyuan already knew about such a big matter.

While thinking, he walked towards the government office.

Suddenly, a figure came into view.

During the march, Xie Xuan did not relax his vigilance.Now that he is a person, if he walks on the road with this identity, it will be troublesome if he is watched by someone.Slightly injured, and seriously may even die.

The figure followed for a long time, and all kinds of people on the street changed from group to group, and this figure always followed.

Xie Xuan's expression froze, and he was determined to give up his purpose of going to the government office - he was being targeted.

Although I don't know who this person is.

Because of Li Jingyang's killing, there were many more patrolling guards on the street. Xie Xuan quickened his pace, trying to find these guards, but the man seemed to have predicted his thoughts in advance, and attacked suddenly when he just took a step!

Xie Xuan held down the dagger in his sleeve for self-defense, and stared at the visitor coldly.

He thought it would be dangerous, but he didn't expect that this person would do it in broad daylight.

Who is it?To kill him, or to profit from him?

However, time did not allow Xie Xuan to think too much.

The man was agile, and without alarming the guards, he dragged Xie Xuan into the alley by the side of the road.

The moment she was grabbed, Xie Xuan drew out the dagger with a "swipe", and stabbed forward——

The dagger with a cold light was pressed against the man's neck, and the distance was only an inch, but it couldn't get any further.

Xie Xuan didn't open his wrist, he wanted to stab again!

The man suddenly tore off the curtain hat over his head.

Dark pupils, tall stature, facial features filled with thick ink and heavy colors, and... those swirl-like eyes.

Xie Xuan was stunned.

But he leaned forward, deliberately bumping his neck against the dagger in his throat.Caught off guard, Xie Xuan had no time to stop, and the tip of the knife was instantly soaked with blood.

Xie Xuan could only lower his voice: "Li Zheng!"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Long time no see, Your Highness."

"you……"

"Hush." ​​Li Zheng raised his hand to cover his mouth, his eyebrows and eyes frowned, "Don't talk, let me talk."

In the dark alley, Li Zheng held Xie Xuan's wrist with one hand, and passed through his waist with the other, strangling his thin waist.

With an almost fitting posture, he firmly pressed Xie Xuan against the wall, not caring about his wound.

"I miss you so much." Li Zheng sighed softly.
