You rascal, stop right there!

"Susu-"

Two figures in black fled forward and backward.

"We shouldn't underestimate the enemy...we..." Chen Xingyi smiled weakly.

Guo Yuanmin carried him on his back, his face a little pale.

A bitter smile appeared on his lips: "Do you regret it?"

He must take responsibility for his adoptive father's act of sacrificing his own relatives for the sake of justice.

Chen Xingyi held back a faint sob and whimpered, "We were all adopted by him when we were teenagers. In fact, we remember that our parents were big winners."

"There are always people who don't remember." Guo Yuanmin said lightly.

Feeling that the person on his back was a little heavy, he pulled away a little and sighed.

Back then, they were a group of children who were adopted by Gu Yang because they were homeless during the plague and famine, but no one remembers them.

"Brother Guo, please take me to the abandoned Ruins Temple between the West District and Shanhua Temple - the Ear Temple."

When he heard the words, he suddenly fell silent.

"He's there, isn't he?"

Guo Yuanmin looked at his and his injured hands, which were bleeding profusely. He could only temporarily seal them with a cloth strip to prevent the bleeding.

Chen Xingyi's face turned pale, and he said calmly, "I suddenly felt that I couldn't hide it from him anymore."

"It's good to go somewhere quiet to recuperate, but..." Guo Yuanmin forced a smile, "Will this cause trouble for others?"

There was a different color in Chen Xingyi's eyes.

"I faked my own death to prevent him from worrying, but I didn't expect him to wait here for four months and refuse to return home."

We can no longer be self-righteous and stay away from it, and repeat the same mistakes.

"He's very important to you, right?"

Guo Yuanmin vividly remembered the words written on the tombstone when he helped dig the person out of the coffin.

There was a hint of loneliness in Chen Xingyi's eyes.

"Yes, but he's wrong."

The mistake is the confusion of yin and yang and the absurdity of emotions.

Guo Yuanmin frowned and whispered, "The world won't tolerate it, but you're reluctant to let go?"

Chen Xingyi felt angry again when he heard this: "Reluctance to part is friendship, but not to tolerate is a sin of love."

The person carrying him sighed slightly.

Most men dislike the idea of having a relationship with someone else, and so does Chen Xingyi, even though Luo Wenqi is a close friend to him.

It was rare that he didn't stay away from her out of fear like he did at the beginning, nor did he oppose or stop Bai Wan.

……

Shanhua Temple.

Abandoned yard.

A pair of hands quietly pushed open a corner of the door, looked inside with curiosity, and finally exerted force.

The old and sawdust-covered door was opened.

"Zi Chen, this is the place where Brother Wang heard about where people have been coming to buy herbs for burns. It's remote but safe."

Although the ground is a mess as soon as you enter the door, you can see that some of the stone paths are actually clean.

Here is an abandoned temple.

After the anti-Buddhist and anti-Taoist movement in Daqing, I saw many Buddhist temples in Xuanli Baiwan.

Today, such a large hall is abandoned, which makes people wonder how magnificent the other temples to the north are.

Almost no guards or beggars dared to come here.

It is conceivable how much the people of Xuanli worship Buddhism.

Ah Yan came back to his senses: "Master, let's go and have a look, look for that person!"

After saying this, he left.

"Wait." Ling Shumo waved his hand. "Brother Qi Tu likes light, so he must live in the sunny house."

"He is afraid of insects just like Zichen and doesn't like to get close to flowers, plants or trees." Bai Wan said.

Now that the two of them knew each other so well, A Yan felt a lot more relaxed.

After searching everywhere, they finally found signs of someone living there.

Luo Wenqi stood by the well with the help of a crutch, drawing water with difficulty and effort, looking very tired.

"Little Lolo!"

"Brother Qi Tu!"

Invariably.

The man's face was set against the sunlight, as if a refreshing breeze was blooming. His lips opened in shock, and the bucket he was holding tightly in his hand fell down.

Snap!

He fell heavily on the instep of his foot.

"Oh, it hurts! It hurts! It hurts so much..."

Luo Wenqi was stunned and looked at his friend who was supporting him, his eyes full of worry.

This is Xuanli!

He must have been dazzled to see these two people appear in front of him.

But the sun poured down.

The bright figure is so real that you can touch it and see it when you look up...

So absurd and unbelievable!

Luo Wenqi felt that the air in June was burning his heart, and his eyes were full of emotion!

Bai Wan immediately walked over and pinched the other person's hand hard: "Does it hurt?"

Luo Wenqi stared at the person in front of him in surprise, then pinched him back with his backhand: "It doesn't hurt."

His hand strength is naturally much greater than that of a certain man.

"Zi Chen, he has the guts to pinch me, go help me win the game!" Bai Wan gritted his teeth.

It's rare for them to tease each other again, and now they both laughed.

We've all known each other for ten years, yet we're still so confused and childish.

"Daqing is about to launch a northern expedition, and Xuanli is in chaos. We haven't heard from you for too long." Ling Shumo helped the man sit up and smiled warmly, "We're worried that something bad might happen to you, so we came here to take you back home!"

Bow and place your hands together.

His words were sincere and every word was from the heart.

Luo Wenqi glanced at the two of them with surprise and sadness: "Well, it's my fault. I was so lost in love that I didn't have time to reply."

He shouldn't have come to Xuanli in the first place, but he heard that the genius doctor Lin Fu was abducted here by Qibei.

People are too naive and ignorant.

I never expected that my former best friend would travel thousands of miles out of concern for me and rescue me back home.

In a foreign country, having people who care about you warms your heart like a spring breeze.

Bai Wan mentioned the "Night Walker" at the South City Gate, recounting their past at the Fanjing Yaji in Caizhou, where he had unfortunately not been present. He also spoke of Xuan Li's archery banquet a few days earlier, where they had passed by prisoners from the Jizhen Prison.

Several times, they were able to meet...

Luo Wenqi was filled with emotion, feeling that life's opportunities were rare and ironic.

"Xiao Luoluo, the merchant ships from Yanzhou have already made arrangements and have the customs clearance documents ready. You and Chen Er can leave the country and return home immediately!"

Luo Wenqi said slowly: "Hey, Xingyi... Brother Xingyi has something important to do, I'm afraid he can't."

The tone really makes one aware of other issues.

In the past, he never added the word "brother" after Xingyi, as it was too unfamiliar.

"You can't force it!"

Ling Shumo and Bai Wan fell silent.

Bai Wan sighed, "Xuan Li's Imperial Preceptor, Gu Yang, is the same Gu Xiaoyu who served as Da Ying's Grand Chamberlain. He is Chen Er's adoptive father, a bond they cannot let go of."

"He wants to kill Master Gu! I also—"

Luo Wenqi knew the other party's plan and was willing to stay.

Ling Shumo's face showed a hint of helplessness: "If he is determined to die, are you the same?"

"Well, I overestimated my abilities, didn't I?"

"No, I'm even less self-aware than you are."

Bai Wan looked at Ling Shumo deeply, and the two of them looked at him together.

"I want to rescue all of Xuanli's Daqing captives!"

What Gu Yang did at the Archery Banquet, and how he killed the people who led the sheep and performed the dance, were all still fresh in his mind.

Hehehe...

Bai Wan smiled, but her face hid a lot of helplessness.

"You can laugh at me as much as you want. I can be even dumber than you, little Lolo!"
