Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

Xiao Qi touched half of his bruised cheek, took two deep breaths, and calmed down.She raised her hair, turned her head to one side, and faced him with the good half of her face: "Is it over now? I'll hit you if I give it back to you, okay?"

Xu Guanchen was still holding the half tablet in his hand, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

Xiao Qi continued: "Originally, I could plan to come back in Yanbei for a long time. I came back because of your illness. Even if it is paid off, okay? You and I are still like before..."

"How was it before?"

Xu Guanchen flicked his sleeves, raised the half of the spirit tablet, and wanted to hit him again.

Xiao Qi has been in Yanbei for three years, he is no longer the literati he was before, he is a lot darker, and his figure is also strong.He suffered that slap before, because he was not on guard, and deliberately played tricks on him.

This time when Xiao Qi raised his hand, he grabbed the iron chain hanging from Xu Guanchen's hand, snatched the tablet from his hand, threw it on the ground, and ruthlessly pulled him forward.

"Let's forgive others." Xiao Qi followed his handcuffs and held his hands, his eyes were cold, "Look at the dust."

"It's still like before? How was it before? You are lying to me about the previous things."

"Okay." Xiao Qi raised his eyes to look at the ridge of the roof, and nodded again, "If you insist on explaining everything clearly, then we will clarify one by one."

"Okay." Xu Guanchen took a deep breath and settled his mind, "Let me ask you, in the 41st year of the Yuan Dynasty, in the autumn hunting of September, you were assassinated in the hunting ground, did the blue feather arrow belong to you? What do you say? Only General Pei has this thing. Is this your idea? Did you lie to me about this?"

"Yes." Xiao Qi met his gaze with a clear face.

Xu Guanchen smiled bitterly: "I have been deceived by you for several years, and Xiao Zhi has been wronged by you for several years."

"Isn't it for you?" Xiao Qi said, "In the 41st year of the Yuan Dynasty, at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet before the autumn hunting, everyone could tell that Xiao Zhi didn't listen to anyone, he only listened to you, and he treated you differently. How can I not compare to him? What should I do?"

"So you just..."

Xiao Qi hastily explained: "The arrow in the hunting ground...was originally aimed at you. Originally, what Yang Xun said was that the arrow hurt you, so he said that Xiao Zhi wanted to kill you. I couldn't bear it. , I blocked that arrow subconsciously for you."

"In this way, I have to thank you very much." Xu Guanchen sneered, "Yang Xun knows about this, and He Zhen must also know about it. I was deceived by the three of you from the beginning, and you three are on one side."

"No, no." Xiao Qi pressed his hands on his shoulders, the candlelight was dim, Xu Guanchen only felt that his face was ridiculous, "What we thought at the beginning was that you are simple-minded and dare not let these things dirty your hands. We just take care of the affairs in the house. I sat firmly in the position of the prince all those years, and it wasn't that I didn't want to use tricks. Only that time I lied to you. At that time, you and Xiao Zhi got too close, and he didn't save What a good idea, I'm afraid of you..."

"If you dare to be brave, it's still considered..." Xu Guanchen sighed softly, "Forget it, let me ask you again, after this incident, on the way to Yanbei, I had a blue feather arrow nailed to my couch By the way, are you also framing Xiao Zhi?"

Xiao Qi glanced at him, and agreed: "Yes, Xiao Zhi sent someone surnamed Pei to stop you on the road, I'm afraid you will be coaxed back by him, so, I have told them to be careful, so they won't hurt you of."

Xu Guanchen didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and asked again: "You are with Yuan Ce, what did you promise him to bring you to Jinling? Did you design the assassination of Chen Zhou in Tingyun Town?"

"I..." Xiao Qi's eyes flickered slightly, he didn't dare to look at him again, "Give Yuan Ce some soldiers and horses."

Xu Guanchen's gaze sank.He didn't tell the truth, Yuan Ce has been fighting in the Northwest all year round, and was also in charge of soldiers and horses in the Xiling Dynasty, why did he come to Jinling for this thing?

Only to hear Xiao Qi say again: "The assassin's matter is his own, he has enmity with Yuan Ce, so..."

It is impossible to ask about this matter, and it is meaningless to ask further.

Xu Guanchen pursed his lips, turned around and said, "Where's my master?"

Xiao Qi pulled him and took him out of the room.

Go through the corridor in front of the courtyard and enter the courtyard on the west side.

Xiao Qi's subordinates were guarding, and Yu Qingzi was inside.

At that time, Yuqingzi was sitting on the couch meditating, when he heard someone come in, he opened his eyes with frightening eyes.

Xu Guanchen sighed softly in his heart, and called out: "Master."

Yuqingzi was taken aback for a moment, a little embarrassed, and dared not answer him again.

Standing on both sides of the room, Xiao Qi was still tightly clutching the iron chains that bound Xu Guanchen's hands, and said: "The old Taoist priest broke the precept for you, ruining his life's practice."

Yuqingzi warned him before that there are only zero and countless times of violating the precepts.

Now it seems that it is.

Xiao Qi continued: "The old Taoist priest also lied to you. The two and a half pills of medicine you took in the past few months were taken from me. You only have three years. If the Taoist priest didn't ask for medicine for you, you It's dead by now."

Xu Guanchen said: "I want to listen to my master."

"Yes, the medicine belongs to him. Master can't make an antidote." Yu Qingzi stood up, approached, stretched out his hand, but didn't dare to touch his face, "I'm afraid you know the medicine is his, and you don't want to Eat, so I lied to you. Besides, he still holds the last antidote in his hand, if I tell you, the last one will be gone."

"Master..." Xu Guanchen's throat was choked, and he opened his mouth, "Dan Shu Iron Coupon..."

"I took it." Yuqingzi also agreed, "The Iron Coupon of the Danshu has been exchanged for half of the antidote."

Thinking about it carefully, the time is also right.When he was ill, he lost the alchemy book, and Yu Qingzi came over with half a pill afterwards.

"You and the emperor checked me in private, and I know." Yu Qingzi smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, "How did you forget? When I was young, I was a wandering Taoist priest and lived in Dingguo Mansion. It was your grandfather who greeted me. At that time your father was still just a child. I am more familiar with Dingguo Duke's mansion than your hidden guards and you."

Xu Guanchen's eyes were red: "Master, why are you..."

"Master also knows that this is a violation of the precept." Yu Qingzi patted his head and wiped the corners of his eyes with his thumb, "But you can't wait, Master wants you to live."

"Just for my life, Master and Xiao Qi designed together to trick me into Fengyue Tower?"

"No." Yu Qingzi lowered his eyes, "It's only half an antidote. I went to that building just to ask him for the antidote. I didn't know you were there, let alone that they would..."

Xu Guanchen remembered that he was standing downstairs in Fengyue Tower, and saw behind the rolling curtain, behind the curtain, Yu Qingzi knelt to Xiao Qi, kneeling under his knees all his life practice.

Yuqingzi said in a daze: "Master was wrong. Master originally thought that he could extend you for one month, that is, one month. When it is time to stop, he will stop. He will never let them take advantage of you. But when Master sees you, Master will not Willing to give up."

Xiao Qi turned his head to look at Xu Guanchen, picked up the iron chain wrapped around his wrist, and took him out.

Xu Guanchen staggered and followed him out, and when he looked back for the last time, Yu Qingzi didn't look at him.

Xiao Qi dragged him out and ordered someone to take care of Yu Qingzi.

Still went back to the original room, the room where the spirit tablet was placed.

"Guanchen, I can't bear it either." Xiao Qi pushed him towards the confession and closed the door behind him, "If you don't want to reconcile with me, then I'll wait a little longer."

Xiao Qi stepped forward, and took out a box from the confession, in front of the two spiritual tablets: "I just want to ask you, where did the iron coupons of the Dingguo Mansion go?"

He opened the box, and there was the Iron Coupon of the Danshu from Dingguo Mansion.

But it wasn't the one given by the first emperor, it was replaced later.

Xu Guanchen also guessed earlier that he was trying to melt the iron coupons in the Danshu, so he just pretended to be stupid and said, "Isn't the iron coupons in the Danshu here with you? Isn't that what it is?"

"Not this one, I want the one my father gave to the Duke's Mansion." Xiao Qi suddenly turned his eyes to look at him and frowned, "Did you know?"

"what do you know?"

"There is something hidden in the Danshu Iron Coupon in Duke Dingguo's Mansion."

"I do not know."

"You know." Xiao Qi boasted that he still understood him, "Where's the stuff?"

Xu Guanchen asked him back: "What's hidden there?"

"A piece of gold plate, and a piece of gold token. In the letter my father wrote to me, he said that it is a magic weapon." Xiao Qi stared at him, "You know."

Xu Guanchen was even more unwilling to admit it, and only said: "I don't know."

"The things are not hidden in Duke Ding's mansion. I sent someone to investigate the mansion secretly." Xiao Qi said, "You gave the things to Xiao Zhi."

Xu Guanchen didn't say a word, Xiao Qi said again: "You have a photographic memory since you were young, if you have seen that thing, you can draw a picture for me."

Xu Guanchen only said: "I have never seen it before."

"You don't even care about your master's life?"

Xu Guanchen gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you?"

Xiao Qi grabbed his collar, pulled him up, and dragged him to the east courtyard.

Jingxu Temple was originally built according to the mountain, and the Taoist temple was not big, but later the rocks were excavated and a cave was opened.

Xiao Qi pulled him, walked in in the dark, and said: "This Taoist temple existed the year you went to Qingzhou to practice Taoism. I originally thought that if you like to practice Taoism, you can stay here when you come back, and you don't have to go out anymore. By accident, it became my most hidden stronghold in Jinling."

Looking back, the cave is not wide, and there are not many things. There is a small couch, a small table, and candles hanging on the walls on both sides, shining faintly.

Xiao Qi threw him on the couch: "I'm afraid you don't know, I used to chant sutras in this quiet room."

"You don't want to talk about the alchemy right now, and it won't be too late if you get sick in two days. If you don't want to talk about it, your master will probably..."

After a long silence, Xiao Qi said slowly: "I sent someone to investigate the Duke's Mansion. Do you think, besides your master, who else would be familiar with the Duke's Mansion as well as his own home? Who would be so skilled in martial arts to go in and out of the Duke's Mansion?" Like entering the land of no one?"

"Why does Yuan Ce have so many things belonging to your brother? You haven't found your brother's body for so many years, and Yuan Ce is in charge of the martial puppets in Xiling, so you don't have the slightest suspicion?"

"Even if you don't care about your own illness and your master, you should still care about the people around you."

Xu Guanchen originally lowered his eyes and didn't want to look at him, but when he heard this, he suddenly looked at him: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Qi didn't answer any more, turned around and left.

A small transom was cut high in the cave for ventilation. Xu Guanchen turned his head to look, and saw that the shadow of the moon was sinking, and it was dawn.
