Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

Xiao Qi grabbed Xu Guanchen, threw him back, and said angrily, "Crazy?"

Xu Guanchen staggered two steps, supported the tree trunk in front of him to stand firm, and looked up at him.

Xiao Qi saw his fierce eyes, which he had never seen before, no matter how he used words to provoke him before, he had never shown such a look, his thoughts sank, he stepped forward and grabbed his hand.

Xu Guanchen was anxious and pushed his hand away.Xu Guanchen's hands were originally shackled, and an iron chain was tied in the middle.

He half stood on tiptoe, raised his hand, and the chain was wrapped around Xiao Qi's neck.

Xu Guanchen walked around behind Xiao Qi, dragged him back a few steps, and pulled Xiao Qi back even further.

With blood on the tip of his tongue and a crying voice, Xu Guanchen mumbled, "I told you I drew a picture for you..."

Xiao Qi didn't expect that he was chained and could throw the chain around someone's neck.

The iron chain was specially used for Xu Guanchen, in case he ran away, it was hard.At this moment, it was on Xiao Qi's neck, if Xu Guanchen was not the weak Xu Guanchen now, but the Xu Guanchen who used to climb up and down all day long and galloped on the Yanbei desert, his neck might be broken right now.

In fact, Xu Guanchen himself didn't know what he did, just now he saw Xiao Zhi hit by an arrow from a distance, he was dizzy for a moment, and he did it as soon as he raised his hand.

He didn't have a plan, and he didn't know what to do next, he just said over and over again: "I told you to draw a picture for you...Why don't you let him stop?"

Xiao Qi also panicked, holding the chain with both hands, just coughing.

Of the two attendants he brought, one of them sneaked around behind Xu Guanchen, raised his hand, and struck the back of his neck.

……

The carriage entered the city gate, then entered the palace gate, and stopped directly in front of Funing Hall.

Xiao Zhi lowered his head and saw the right leg shot by the arrow without changing his expression. The blood was bubbling, staining half of his clothes red.

The palace man brought up the sedan chair, and Eunuch Xiao Cheng asked him to get off the car outside.

Xiao Zhi put down his clothes, supported the carriage frame and got out of the carriage. When he landed, he shook his right leg, which also hurt, and he closed his eyes due to the pain.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng supported him and put him on the palanquin. The palace servants carried him up the steps and sent him back to Funing Palace.

After entering the Hall of Funing, Xiao Zhi fell down on the soft cushion on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief.

A dozen or so imperial physicians had been waiting in the hall for a long time. After the salute, the old imperial physician with a gray beard stepped forward, resting his hands on a white handkerchief, and carefully inspecting his injuries.

Not long after, the ministers who heard that the emperor was assassinated were all waiting in the Hall of Qinzheng. When Mr. Cheng came to announce the time, Xiao Zhi didn't take it seriously, waved his hand, and let them go.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng also knew what he was concerned about, so he just replied softly: "Both General Pei and Prince Duan haven't come back yet, it should be Yuan Ce's action."

Xiao Zhi nodded his head as a response.

In a blink of an eye, the old imperial doctor was still looking at his wound, thinking he was troublesome with the ink stains, so he raised his hand, took the white kerchief in his hand, and stabbed the feather arrow that went through his calf.

He lifted the hem of his clothes, tore off the cloth that was glued to the flesh and blood, and glanced at the old imperial doctor. It must have been in pain, and his voice became hoarse: "Apply the medicine."

While the old imperial doctor was applying medicine to the wound, it suddenly rained heavily outside.

It has not rained in the past few days, and it is hot in summer, and it is not unusual to rain at this time.

The old imperial doctor put down the medicine bottle, picked up the muslin, and when he was about to wrap the muslin on his wound, Xiao Jue came back with General Pei.

Xiao Zhi took the fine cloth from the old imperial doctor's hand, waved his hand, and let them all go down, leaving only Xiao Jue and General Pei: "How is it?"

It was raining outside, Xiao Jue and General Pei's clothes were soaked through, and there were mud spots on the clothes and boots.

Xiao Jue shook his head, General Pei also shook his head.

"Yuan Ce's chariots and horses have been walking along the official road, going out for dozens of miles, without stopping. He really wants to go back to Xiling." Xiao Jue said, "Even if the young master's business, he has nothing to do with it. One kick, it should also be to give Xiao Gongye to Xiao Qi, no longer care about it. If you follow him, there should be no one to be found."

Xiao Zhi lowered his head and just sighed softly: "Feiyang hasn't come back yet, just wait."

Seeing a wound on his leg, General Pei asked: "Is it really an injury?"

"Their plan, I have a plan in mind, how can I not get hurt?"

If Xiao Zhi hadn't deliberately taken two steps forward at that time, the arrow had actually been shot carefully.

Speechless for a while, Xiao Zhi lowered his head, wrapped the wound with fine cloth, and casually told Mr. Cheng: "Find out the wheelchair I used before, and repair it. I'm afraid it will be used in a few days."

After a while, the rain continued, and a drenched man rushed into the hall.

It is flying.

General Pei hurriedly took off his coat and put it on for him: "How is it?"

Feiyang sniffled from the cold: "Why don't you follow?"

"what?"

"It's changed." Feiyang said angrily, "Yuan Ce has changed."

General Pei was startled, and asked again: "What?"

Fei Yang stomped his feet: "In the tea shed, the person has changed."

Only then did General Pei remember that Yuan Ce's chariot and horses had stopped on the way and had a rest in a small tea shed.

Presumably at that time, Yuan Ce found a substitute and ran away by himself.

Before he could get annoyed, General Pei asked him again: "Then did you keep up? Where did he go?"

Feiyang pursed his lips and was about to cry: "It's raining too much, I lost my heel."

"Where did Yuan Ce go?"

"North." Feiyang was so angry that he raised his fist and punched the wall, knocking down all the scrolls hanging on the wall, muttering "Brother Guanchen" in his mouth.

General Pei coaxed him a few words, then turned to look at Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi supported his forehead, frowning tightly.Suddenly his face darkened, and his breathing became heavy.He stared, only to feel that his eyes were dark, and then he only heard the voice of General Pei shouting "Doctor", and the sound of rain outside the window.

……

It was also the first time for Yuan Ce to walk the path shaded by branches in the mountains outside Jinling City.

Of course he knew that Xiao Zhi sent someone to follow him, pretending to be a traveling merchant from behind the tea shed, and there was a tail that couldn't be shaken following him, so he deliberately walked in the opposite direction.

Later, when it rained heavily, even God helped him. He rolled into the jungle by the side of the mountain road and lost Feiyang who was following him.

Originally, when returning to the capital of Xiling, we had to go west, but Jingxuguan was to the south of Jinling City.Yuan Ce took a few personal guards with him, and in order to get rid of Feiyang, he deliberately walked north again. At this time, he got rid of Fei Yang, and the guards led the horses.

Riding on the horse, I turned around and headed south, and after walking for a while, it was raining heavily, and there was a carriage waiting on the other side of the mountain road.Xiao Qi lifted the curtain of the carriage, saw him coming, and nodded to him.

Xiao Qi didn't just bring Xu Guanchen to see how Xiao Zhi died, he came out specially to see Yuan Ce.

Yuan Ce dismounted, his clothes were soaked, he twisted them casually, and got into the carriage.

Xu Guanchen was knocked unconscious by Xiao Qi's attendants, he still didn't wake up, he leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed his eyes, frowned, the raindrops were beating on the eaves of the carriage, even making loud noises did not wake him up.

Yuan Ce sat down opposite him, raised his eyebrows at Xiao Qi: "Why did you bring him here?"

"Let him see how Xiao Zhi died." Xiao Qi said coldly, "so that he can give up."

Yuan Ce said: "He will not give up, and it has nothing to do with you after that..."

At this time, the carriage was slowly driving in the heavy rain, Xu Guanchen tilted to the side, and knocked his forehead against the wall of the carriage, waking him up.

When he saw Yuan Ce, his eyes widened, and he looked at him vigilantly: "You..."

Yuan Ce lied to him and said, "I just came from Jinling City, Xiao Zhi just died, and the death knell in the city struck nine, did you hear that?"

Xu Guanchen shook his head: "No..."

Yuan Ce smiled and turned to look at Xiao Qi: "You didn't tell him that there was poison in that arrow?"

Xu Guanchen looked at Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi only said: "I forgot to tell him."

The hand and foot shackles were clanging, Xiao Qi had already been strangled by him once, and he would not be hit again. He pulled the chain on his hand and threw him back on his seat.

Xu Guanchen moved to the side, shook his head and said softly: "No, no..."

Xiao Qi still felt that it was not enough, and said again: "Once he dies, and there is no one to take care of him, I can justly sit in that seat. As for those remnants surnamed Pei, His Highness Lao San sent troops to help me take care of them. I said earlier , without that picture, I can still win. Guanchen, you regret voting for me now, there is still time."

Xu Guanchen was stunned.

In fact, it may not be on the way to send Yuan Ce back. These days, as long as Xiao Zhi stays with him, as long as he meets Yuan Ce, today's event may happen at any time.

Xu Guanchen's heart trembled, and he turned to look at Yuan Ce: "What did he promise you, that you come to Jinling to help him in person?"

"You're not stupid." Yuan Ce smiled, and glanced at Xiao Qi, "This new emperor, please give me Yanbei and beg me to help him."

Yanbei.

Xu Guanchen became impatient for a moment, gritted his teeth and scolded Xiao Qi: "How dare you?"

How dare you give Yanbei to Yuan Ce?

"I'm afraid it will cause public grievances. Of course he doesn't dare to give me Yanbei." Yuan Ce still smiled, "So after he ascended the throne, I pretended to attack Yanbei and killed two generals guarding Yanbei. Defeated, lost Yanbei."

"Chen Zhou...Chen Zhou is you..."

Xu Guanchen understood.In the matter of Tingyun Town, they provoked and instigated Chen Zhou from the very beginning and asked him to assassinate, with the purpose of dismantling Yanbei's military defense.At that time, Yuan Ce will be able to capture Yanbei without a single knife being moved or a drop of blood being shed.

What is the difference between this and cutting land to people?

Yuan Ce continued: "Chen Zhou was killed by him. Chen Zhou died the night he first arrived. He rehearsed all the assassinations and suicide notes."

Xu Guanchen laughed back angrily, looked at Xiao Qi, and questioned: "How dare you? How dare you!"

Clouds rolled and thunder rumbled.

Suddenly, the attendants brought by Xiao Qi reported outside: "Master, the wheels of the carriage got stuck in the mud."

The mountain path has never been repaired, and it is always muddy when it rains.

Xiao Qi grabbed his hand, first took him out of the carriage, Yuan Ce also got out of the carriage, brought several guards, one drove the horse, and the rest pushed the carriage behind.

Standing in the rain, Xu Guanchen was no longer as excited as before. He just lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

Fortunately, the wheels of the carriage were not sunk deeply, and within a quarter of an hour, the carriage was pushed out.

After getting into the carriage again, Xu Guanchen huddled in a corner, away from Xiao Qi and Yuan Ce, wrung out the water from his sleeves, wiped his face, and said nothing.

The carriage started to drive again, the carriage was not moving fast in the rain, several guards drove the horse one by one, and the rest followed.

After walking for a while, maybe Yuan Ce liked to see his anxious look, and said again: "He not only gave me Yanbei, but also gave me you."

Xu Guanchen didn't respond, he didn't even raise his eyes.

Xiao Qi didn't respond either, he didn't dare to refute, he really... promised Yuan Ce in this way.

"Your brother was made into a martial puppet by me. I have a bit of a hobby, and I like to make a pair of things, so I begged you from him, and he gave you to me as well."

Xu Guanchen remained silent, just listening to Yuan Ce continue: "You are too weak to be a martial puppet, what should you do? Why does Xiao Zhi like you? Is it because the little Taoist has a different taste, or is it because you look good? ? If you like, I will put your brother with you..."

Xiao Qi couldn't bear to listen to these words, he tugged on his sleeve, trying to persuade him: "He's not in good spirits recently, don't scare him."

Xu Guanchen originally shrank in the farthest place from the two of them. Because of his haste, the curtain of the carriage was not well covered, so he kept one hand on it, clutching the curtain.

The carriage slowed down as it passed the winding path in the mountains.Xu Guanchen was a little dazed, and suddenly lifted a corner of the curtain of the carriage.The wind blew the raindrops drifting in obliquely, and it was raining, and the wind blew only felt the bone-chilling chill.

Xiao Qi had been with him for several years, and he still understood him after all, suddenly felt something was wrong, so he raised his eyes to look at him.

It happened that Xu Guanchen also turned his head and glanced at him lightly.

Xiao Qi felt more and more wrong, and reached out his hand to grab him, but he jumped out of the carriage and rolled into the grass before everyone could react in time.

The horse neighed, Xiao Qi rushed over to look, and the man had disappeared into the rainstorm and the forest.
