Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

Jingxuguan is built on the mountain, with its back against the cliff.

Xiao Qi dragged Xu Guanchen along a steep mountain path.

The mountain forest was shaded, Xu Guanchen only looked up, there was a carriage parked at the end of the path, and Xiao Qi's two personal guards were waiting beside him.

He was really conceited, and he was not afraid that Xu Guanchen would run away on the road, and only brought two people with him.

Xiao Qi pushed him into the carriage, got into the carriage himself, and lowered the curtain.

One of the two sat in front of the carriage, the other followed behind, and the carriage started to drive slowly.

It hadn't rained in the past few days, and the wheels ran over the sandy path in the mountains, leaving a shallow rut. Behind the wheels of the carriage, two bundles of brooms were tied to clean the rut.

The curtains of the carriage were tightly covered, and the windows were also tightly covered, Xu Guanchen couldn't see the outside, and he didn't want to see Xiao Qi, so he could only close his eyes and began to recite the Jingjing Sutra silently.

After the carriage drove for a while, he suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water.

Yes, spring outings in February are all by a nearby big river.It's just that the sound of the water is not loud, it should be because they are far away, or because the carriage is still in the mountains.

After walking for a while, Xiao Qi called him: "Guan Chen."

Xu Guanchen opened his eyes to look at him.

"Xiao Zhi...what's so good about it?"

Xu Guanchen's mouth was strangled by the cloth strip, and he couldn't speak, but he just turned his eyes away and stopped looking at him.

Xiao Qi seemed to come to his senses at this time, he couldn't speak, he smiled, and he didn't care whether he was listening or not, he said to himself: "That seat was originally mine, and you were my Minister of Gu Ming, when did it start? Isn't it right?"

Xu Guanchen closed his eyes and started to recite the Qingjing Sutra silently again.

In fact, Xiao Zhi was not good at all, he was quite bad, he usurped the throne and murdered his father, he was violent and repeated, but he was so bad that he was frank.

Xiao Qi is a little short, just here.Xiao Qi plotted against others secretly, and in the end he wanted to push things on others, but his own hands were clean.

When did it start wrong?

He asked Xu Guanchen this question now, but Xu Guanchen didn't understand either.

I only heard Xiao Qi say again: "Since you came back from Qingzhou and moved into Prince Ning's Mansion to live with him? Sometimes I often think, if I stop this matter at that time and take you back to my Prince Jian's Mansion Come on, things will be different."

Xu Guanchen sneered in his heart, of course it didn't start from this time.If he had started to change his mind at that time, would he have broken off ties with Xiao Zhi in order to seek medicine for Xiao Qi?

To be honest, until the last moment of the palace change, when Xiao Qi's long knife was chopped off, Xu Guanchen felt that he had a clear conscience.

As for when it changed, not only Xu Guanchen didn't understand this question, Xiao Qi even didn't understand it, and he would never understand it.

He will always live in the fantasy of harmony between the monarch and his subjects.

Xu Guanchen didn't respond, and Xiao Qi didn't feel bored either. He lowered his head and twisted his sleeves, and continued: "Did it start after you came back from Yanbei? I sometimes think, if you press this matter down at that time, Pulling you away from him, will things be different."

To explain it clearly, to explain it not to understand, in fact, both of them knew it in their hearts.

As long as Xiao Qi didn't stop raising the long knife at that time, what would happen, would still happen.

Talking is useless.

Xu Guanchen didn't want to listen to his sensationalism anymore, he just found it ridiculous, moved to the side, and leaned against the closed window.

"That seat was originally my seat, and you were also my Minister of Gu Ming." Xiao Qi still said, "It's all Xiao Zhi's fault, he took it away."

He said this harshly, Xu Guanchen's eyebrows twitched, and he turned to look at him.

I don't know how long it took before the carriage finally stopped.

Xiao Qi grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the carriage.

The carriage has been walking on the mountain path, but it has not left the forest. It is on a cliff.

The cliff is very high, surrounded by luxuriant branches and leaves, only a vague group of people can be seen.Xu Guanchen looked familiar to the leader, but he couldn't recognize him even though he was far away.

Xiao Qi put his hands on his shoulders, and said softly: "You still don't want to draw a picture, and I said it too. Without that picture, I will still take my seat back."

Xu Guanchen didn't quite understand what he meant.

In the distance, horseshoes trod lightly in the dust, and the ceremonial canopy came slowly, and the man in the middle was dressed in a beautiful clothes, which he was very familiar with.

Xiao Zhi.

Xu Guanchen clenched his fists, turned to look at Xiao Qi: "You..."

"Aren't you just for him?" Xiao Qi suddenly became ruthless, and put his hands on his shoulders, asking him to watch carefully, "I want you to watch him die."

Xu Guanchen's heart was tightened, he couldn't breathe, he saw Xiao Zhi's sleeves turned up and down, he got off his horse, and stood still on the ground.

……

The holy driver goes on tour, and the idlers retreat.

Yuan Ce returned to the capital today, and a few days ago, Master Xu of the court, presented ten reasons in front of the palace, and finally threw himself to the ground, begging His Majesty to see Yanbei, the people, and the state, and see him off in person, so as to show the demeanor of the great Liang.

General Pei felt that he had lost the dignity of the country, so he had a dispute with Mr. Xu, refusing to give in to each other, and finally asked His Majesty to judge.Xiao Zhi propped his head, and wrote the word "Zhun" with a cinnabar pen.

In fact, it was just a trick. General Pei's dispute with him was also acting.

Today Xiao Zhi wore a formal dress and rode on a horse. Surrounded by the imperial guards and guarded by the canopy, he went all the way from Funing Palace to the gate of Jinling City.

Yuan Ce stood there, just like when he came here, still like a rich man, but the two people around him, a literati, and a masked guard were gone.

Shengjia only showed a canopy from the other side, and a group of people raised their clothes with both hands, knelt on the ground, and saluted.

When Xiao Zhi arrived in front of him, Eunuch Cheng, who was following him, said "Please stand up without courtesy", Yuan Ce put his left hand on the ground and stood up - according to Yuan Ce, the previous Fengyue building was on fire, and he just happened to While drinking in the building, his right hand was injured by the falling beam, and the scholar Zhiwei beside him was crushed to death.

Of course, this is just an excuse. Anyone who should know knows whether there is something hidden.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng stood on Xiao Zhi's right hand, and on his left was Master Xu who made a statement in front of the palace and tried his best to invite Xiao Zhi out of the palace.

Master Xu said with a smile: "Your Highness came to Jinling this time. Although the matter of Yanbei has not been fully negotiated, I still hope that Yanbei will be peaceful and there will be no more troubles."

Yuan Ce responded with a smile.

There are many clichés between the DPRK and China, let alone this kind of rhetoric between countries.

Xiao Zhi patiently listened to the two of them talking, and looked around from the corner of his eye.There are many mountains around Jinling City, it is summer, and the branches and leaves are lush, so it is very easy for Tibetans.

When he came out this time, General Pei didn't follow him, he led people to ambush on the other side, if Yuan Ce wanted to leave, he would follow him, if there was anything else, it would be easy to deal with.

It's just that I don't know where Xu Guanchen is. In this case, it shouldn't be here... Xiao Zhi's gaze accidentally swept across the right back side, the sun was just right, and something flashed silver light.

Xiao Zhi quickly withdrew his gaze, thinking in his heart, the silver light is far away from here, it should not be a sword, probably...

Probably Xiao Qi's usual blue feather arrow.

The boss offered something to Yuan Ce, and Yuan Ce kowtowed to thank him, saying that he would not let Yanbei fight again, and Eunuch Xiao Cheng said "Excuse me" for Xiao Zhi, and he got up to go.

Yuan Ce rode on the horse, got on the horse, and led the people out.

That Mr. Xu was overly attentive, and even took two steps forward.

There seemed to be a wind blowing over the forest, and there was a rustling sound, it was sent by Xiao Zhi to follow Yuan Ce's flying.

Xiao Zhi rolled up his sleeves, turned around and went back to the palace.

……

On the cliff covered by branches and leaves, Xu Guanchen stood on the cliff, so far away that he couldn't see anything clearly.

Xiao Qi pressed his shoulder, asking him to look carefully at the people and affairs below.

Later, Xiao Qi took off the hat that he had put on him before he came out, and supported his head with both hands, so that he could see more clearly.

The sun shines on Xu Guanchen's face through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and he only finds it dazzling.

Just now when Xiao Zhi was looking down, the place where the silver light flashed was behind his right hand, which was opposite to Xu Guanchen.

When Xu Guanchen looked up, he happened to catch a glimpse of that silver light flashing by.

Estimating the distance, it should not be a sword or dagger for a close-up assassination, but a feathered arrow.

Looking at the appearance of the people around Xiao Zhi, it was obvious that he didn't notice it.

Xu Guanchen was startled, he froze for a while, his mouth was strangled by the cloth strip, and he couldn't utter a word, even if he could, the people below probably wouldn't be able to hear him.

So he wanted to turn his head to look at Xiao Qi, begging him to stop quickly, but Xiao Qi's hands were firmly on his head, as long as he looked down.

"That seat originally belonged to me, and you were originally my Minister of Gu Ming." Xiao Qi said coldly, "He deserved what he deserved. Aren't you afraid that I will threaten you with your brother, your master, and Xiao Wu? Then you Look, how he died."

Xu Guanchen tried his best to speak vaguely, almost biting his tongue: "I... I'll draw a picture for you, stop... stop..."

"It's too far away—" Xiao Qi pointed to the front, "I can't stop."

Before the feather arrow was fired, Xu Guanchen stared at the forest on the other side of the cliff again, but he could no longer see that deadly cold light.

He clenched the cloth strip around his mouth, followed Xiao Zhi closely with his eyes, and only asked Xiao Zhi to go quickly, and the imperial guards around him, to get closer to him.

Under the clear sky, the long arrow pierced through the sky.

Xu Guanchen couldn't shout, he could only watch the feathered arrow shoot out from the forest.He opened his eyes wide, unknowingly, two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, and he didn't care about the cliff under his feet, he rushed forward, wishing he could stop that feather arrow.

If Xiao Qi hadn't held his waist and dragged him back two steps, he would have fallen directly to the bottom of the cliff.

A few pieces of gravel rolled down, Xu Guanchen couldn't make a sound, he just shed tears.

The feather arrow was very accurate, before the guards below had time to react, Xiao Zhi's footsteps suddenly stopped, his figure swayed, and he quickly stood still, but the people around him came to help him.

Then the carriage in the palace was driven over, and the imperial guards embraced him and sent him into the carriage.

A part of the forbidden army was left to catch the assassin, fearing that something might be lost, the carriage quickly turned back.

With tears in his eyes, Xu Guanchen couldn't see clearly, he only saw these things.

He was stunned, tears were still on his face, his eyes were red, he turned to look at Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi also didn't expect his reaction to be so big, seeing that he was crying so much, he temporarily untied the cloth strips that bound him.

Xu Guanchen cried, "I said I drew you a picture, you..."

Xiao Qi tied the cloth strips again, Xu Guanchen bit his tongue and dyed the cloth strips bright red.

He grabbed Xiao Qi's lapel, wanting to take him down the cliff together.
