Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

Xu Guanchen and Xiao Qi went back to Jingxu together, the mountain path was hidden and the shadows of the trees were swaying.

Speaking of the matter between Emperor Guangzong and Empress Mingxian, Xiao Qi got his reminder and thought that maybe he could follow this method, but he also doubted Xu Guanchen in his heart, so he fell behind unknowingly.

Xu Guanchen looked back at him, only to see a silver light flashing in the woods behind him.Xu Guanchen was aroused, called "Your Highness", and grabbed Xiao Qi's sleeve, pulling him half a step away.

The blue feathered arrow was nailed to Xu Guanchen's left shoulder, passing through half of the arrow, and blood dripped on the yellow sand.

He clutched his wound and knelt down on the ground, his face pale with pain.

Xiao Qi stood on the spot, saw the blue feathered arrow, but felt a little guilty, he was stunned for a while, before he dared to reach out to help him: "Guan Chen."

Xu Guanchen breathed a sigh of relief, held back his tears, and slowly stood up: "This place is not suitable for staying for a long time."

……

In Jingxu Contemplation, Yuqingzi pulled out the arrowhead and threw it into the copper basin, there was a bang.

Xu Guanchen took a deep breath, mixed with cold sweat on his forehead, shed two tears, intermittently said: "Master, Master... Be gentle, be gentle..."

Xiao Qi pursed his lips, stood watching, suddenly remembered something, picked up the remaining half of the feather arrow, and went to find Yuan Ce.

He threw the half-feathered arrow with the blue feather in front of Yuan Ce, and asked, "Did you send someone to do this?"

Xu Guanchen lost his memory, and Yuan Ce couldn't find any news about Yanbei's secret army from him. He was preparing to go back to Xiling Metropolis recently, and was packing his things himself at this time.

Xiao Qi threw half of the feather arrow in front of him, and he just raised his eyes lazily, and took a look: "Didn't I help you test him? Have you tried it now?"

"you……"

"You have been fiddling with this arrow a few days ago, so you have no intention of testing him?" Yuan Ce stood up, staring closely at Xiao Qi's eyes, "I'll send someone to help you try him, what's wrong with that?" of?"

"Yes." Xiao Qi smiled bitterly, and agreed, "Very good."

"Now you can rest assured, Xu Guanchen has lost his memory because he is so desperate to block your arrows." Yuan Ce stared at him, and asked bluntly, "But...why did you give him to someone else?"

Xiao Qi just smiled wryly, remained silent for a while, and finally asked: "When do you want to go back to Xiling?"

"I'll go back in a few days." Yuan Ce waved his hand casually, and put the sleeve arrow into his narrow sleeve, "If I don't go back again, once my father dies, my brothers will be turned upside down. How can I get my turn?" Where is that?"

"Can you..." Xiao Qi paused, and said embarrassedly, "Leave Xu Wen here? Even if it's a favor for me."

"It's not like you don't know how many shady things Xu Wen has secretly helped me do over the years, how many enemies and political enemies I have killed. I use him very well. I leave it to you, just to coax Xu Guanchen to play. ,What is the use?"

Xiao Qi said again: "No matter how good I choose to make puppets for you, Xu Wen is not considered the most qualified among the young masters of the aristocratic family. I will choose a few good ones to exchange with you."

Yuan Ce thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I can leave it to you." He asked again: "Xiao Zhi, what are you going to do?"

"I have a solution." Xiao Qi clenched his hands, "As long as he is dead, everything will be easy."

……

After a few more days, Yuan Ce packed up his things and hurried back to Xiling.Finally sent Yuan Ce away, but he left Xu Wen behind.

There was a hole in the left shoulder shot by an arrow, Xu Guanchen had not recovered from his old illness, and had a new injury, so he lay on the couch for several days to recuperate.

He helped Xiao Qi block an arrow, and Xiao Qi no longer had any suspicions from then on, and from time to time brought him news from outside.

"Master Xu in Chaoli has received the news, and he is going to persuade Xiao Zhi to be elected."

A few days later, Xiao Qi brought him another message: "Xiao Zhi couldn't stand the courtiers' advice, and agreed to be elected."

Xu Guanchen lowered his eyes calmly, and took a sip of the black medicinal soup.

Xiao Qi wanted to tease him, so he asked: "How do you think he chooses his concubine?"

"He..." Xu Guanchen thought for a while, how could Xiao Zhi choose someone, but he chose casually and absurdly.

"He uses a sheep cart to select the queen."

"Ok?"

"He asked the one who used to be by your side..." Xiao Qi originally wanted to say "the martial idiot Feiyang who was by your side before", but suddenly stopped. He remembered that Xu Guanchen had lost his memory, and it was inconvenient to mention Feiyang in front of him, so he changed There is a saying, "He sent a little fool to drive a goat cart around among a dozen girls from aristocratic families. Whoever the goat cart stops in front of will be elected queen."

"Ridiculous." Xu Guanchen laughed, shaking the medicine bowl in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Faint."

He said this lightly, Xiao Qi didn't hear it.

Xu Guanchen asked: "Which girl did the sheep cart choose?"

"Second girl of Master Xu's family."

"Such a coincidence?" Xu Guanchen seemed a little sour, "You just chose His Highness's person?"

"Master Xu got the news first, and poured salt water on the ground under Miss Xu's feet, and the sheep cart went straight to her."

Xu Guanchen nodded: "That's it."

"It's just..." Xiao Qi raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Miss Xu Er is smaller in stature and weak in strength. She grew up in the boudoir since she was a child.

No one dared to tell her about the assassination.I'm afraid that if I tell her, it won't work. "

"Under His Highness, there are no girls who practice martial arts to use?"

"No." Xiao Qi said, "You know, I've been in Yanbei for the past few years, and Yanbei and his party are aggressive bandits, where is there any girl's house?"

Xu Guanchen sighed: "How tall is Miss Xu?"

"It's only a little shorter than you." Xiao Qi said again, "Xiao Zhi is still living in the palace on Qiwu Mountain. If he holds a ceremony, he should be there, not far from here. If something happens, I will I will send people to protect it... If I win at that time, I will send out a signal from the palace, and my troops will enter Jinling City, and the plan will be accomplished."

When he said this, Xu Guanchen also understood that he was going to marry Xiao Zhi for Miss Xu.

He put down the medicine bowl, turned over, pillowed his hands, and turned his back to him: "Your Highness, let me think about it."

"After the matter is completed, you will still be Ding Guogong, and your brother will return it to you, okay?" Xiao Qi touched his hair that was spread on the pillow, and his words seemed to be a promise, but also a threat.

Xu Guanchen finally nodded in agreement.

……

The Xu family married a daughter, and the emperor named her queen. Because it was a happy event, things were done in a hurry, and the wedding was set in half a month.

Although Xiao Zhi was recovering from his injuries in the Qiwu Mountain Palace, Second Miss Xu was still going to marry from the Xu Mansion, and the escort was General Pei, so it was not easy to do anything on the road.

The second son of the Xu family wants to replace the second girl of the Xu family to marry in the palace, so he can only get on the sedan chair in Xu's house.

Xu Guanchen healed the injury on his shoulder in Jingxu Guan, and he went to Xu Mansion to wait for his marriage five days before the wedding.

Because he was still short of half a medicine, his illness was still lingering. Before Xu Guanchen was about to leave, he had an illness, and he was shivering with the cold wrapped in a quilt in summer.

Yuqingzi diagnosed his pulse and prescribed medicine, while Xiaodaotong Xiaowu squatted in the kitchen and made a fire to cook the medicine.

As soon as Xiao Daotong stood up, he saw Xiao Qi standing in front of the kitchen door, and hurriedly called: "Senior brother."

Xiao Qi responded, stepped forward, lifted the lid of the medicine pot, glanced at it, and asked casually: "Xiao Wu, what do you mean by calling Guan Chen 'Little Master Uncle' and me 'Senior Brother'?"

Xiao Daotong scratched his head, smirked and said, "Xiao Wu doesn't know what that means."

Xiao Daotong used a rag to pad his hands, lifted the medicine pot, and poured the decoction in the pot into a small bowl, no more, no less, exactly one bowl.

Xiao Qi asked: "Guan Chen's medicine?"

"Yes."

Xiao Qi paused, took out a jade pen from his bosom, broke it, poured out the last half of the antidote from the pen holder hollowed out in the middle, and threw it into the medicine bowl.

Half of the antidote was melted into the black soup.

Xiao Daotong didn't know what it was, slightly surprised: "Senior brother?"

Xiao Qidao: "It's not a bad thing. I'll let him go after he finishes this matter. Let him drink all of this bowl of medicine."

Xiao Daotong replied again, picked up the medicine bowl and was about to go out.Xiao Qi thought for a while, but stopped him again: "Let me bring it to him."

At that time Xu Guanchen was still wrapped in a quilt, curled up on the couch shivering from the cold.Xiao Qi handed him the medicine bowl, fearing that he would knock it over, held the medicine bowl, pinched his chin, and poured down every drop of the decoction.

After all, the antidote was still useful, Xu Guanchen recovered a lot and sighed.

Xiao Qi handed him the dagger in his sleeve: "Those who have quenched the poison, when the time comes to assassinate Xiao Zhi, use this."

Xu Guanchen lowered his eyes: "Okay."

Not knowing whether it was out of politeness or out of sincerity, Xiao Qi instructed: "Be careful in everything."

Xu Guanchen also agreed, with his head down, unable to see his expression clearly.

Xiao Qi seemed to be unconsciously saying: "In fact, Xiao Zhi likes you quite a bit. If you were discovered before he could do anything, he shouldn't treat you like that."

Xu Guanchen pursed his lips: "Really?"

In the evening of this day, Xu Guanchen felt better, so he wanted to sneak into Xu's mansion to be married.Naturally Xiao Qi would not take the risk of going with him, he just waited for the news in the Jingxu Temple, and by the way he held Yuqingzi and Xiaodaotong as hostages against Xu Guanchen - Xiao Qi was still guilty, afraid that Xu Guanchen would remember what he had forgotten.

In the dead of night, Xu Wen climbed over the city wall again, with a man in a black cloak on his back.

The Xu family is far away from Duke Ding's mansion, but very close to General Pei's mansion.

Xu Wen flew over the walls with him on his back, and when he flew past General Pei's mansion, Xu Guanchen raised his hand, and a sleeve arrow shot out from his sleeve. .

The night was quite dark, and there was someone from the Xu residence to meet him, so Xiao Qi didn't send anyone to follow him, so only he and Xu Wen knew about this little move.

Although Xu Wen is a martial puppet, when he shot the sleeve arrow, he purposely covered Xu Wen's eyes slightly with his sleeve.

Xu Wen paused, weighed Xu Guanchen on his back, and said with a low laugh, "I'm going to fall."

Xu Guanchen was taken aback, and called out, "Brother?"

Although the two of them met every day these days, there were always people from Yuan Ce and Xiao Qi present, Xu Wen couldn't talk to him, so today was considered a chance.

It's still inappropriate to say too much here, Xu Wen let out a "hush", Xu Guanchen grabbed his ears twice, like when he was lying on his elder brother's back and grabbed his elder brother's ears when he was a child.

The two of them stopped talking, each of them understood.

Send Xu Guanchen to Xu Mansion safely.

That Master Xu was the Master Xu who went to Tingyun Town with Xiao Jue a few days ago, and the Master Xu who went all the way to Shu, so it turned out that he was Xiao Qi's person many years ago.

Second Miss Xu was sent to Zhuangzi outside the city a few days ago, and Xu Guanchen lived in Miss Xu Second's yard.

When Miss Xu Er left, she also moved a lot of things, and the yard was empty.

Come up early in the morning, the palace will send people to deliver things, dowry gifts and wedding dresses.

General Pei and the courtiers in the palace came to deliver them in person. The gold, silver, treasures, porcelain and jade were all piled up in the courtyard where Xu Guanchen lived now, as if they were free of money, as if they had sent all the treasures of the palace.

The dress was hanging in the room, and Xu Guanchen looked a little familiar, it seemed that it was the same one that Jane and the palace hung, and they moved here without changing it.

People outside moved things vigorously, Xu Guanchen hid in the room and dared not go out.I thought that the arrow that was nailed in front of the general's mansion last night was only written five days later. He is going to marry Miss Xu Er, so who are these things for?

It couldn't be for the girl Xu Er who had never masked her face, right?

Xu Guanchen stood in a daze with his hair propped up, Xu Wen came in with a snack, looked around, and said softly: "No one, they are all outside watching others."

Xu Guanchen picked up a sweet bun and took a bite.

Xu Wen sat down in front of him, and sighed pretentiously: "You are married, my brother can't carry you into the sedan chair."

Xu Guanchen choked, glared at him, and turned to pour tea.
