how to be safe

In Yongzhou, where the weather is cold and freezing, when Yuan Xiufu recognized the leader Dongfang Su among the officers and soldiers, he realized that he had no strength to continue to escape after all, so he threw down the only weapon in his hand—a bamboo stick—— Prepare to be caught.Dongfang Su, on the other hand, sent troops to surround the temple, and managed to recognize him after a long time among the dirty and smelly beggars.He is disheveled and ragged, where is there any shadow of the proud son of heaven in the Forbidden Palace of Shenjing?

The officers and soldiers drove away the group of beggars, only Yuan Xiufu was left, he suddenly raised his head and laughed.

"Death is imminent, what are you laughing at?" Dongfang Su asked him.

"I laugh at your two younger brothers, one is as treacherous as a wolf, and the other is as stupid as a pig."

Dongfang always thought that he wanted to provoke her, so he let him continue.

"If Dongfanggu had a little bit of intelligence, he wouldn't have revealed my whereabouts to Dongfang Xuan. If Dongfang Xuan had a little bit of conscience, he wouldn't have let you arrest me." Yuan Xiufu smiled, as if he was talking about something Nothing to do with oneself.

"How do you know Xuan'er told me?"

"If there is one person in this world who doesn't want me to die, it might be Dongfanggu. Let me tell you, he wants my life. But he has no idea, and he is so stupid that he thought I saved Dongfang Xuan, so Dongfanggu Xuan will help him save me." He was still laughing, laughing at Dongfanggu, more like laughing at himself.

"People in the world are not as smart as you, but today you are no better than a pig or dog." Dongfang Su retorted.

"The luck is bad, and I cast myself into a trap, but I know that you, Dongfang Su, will not have my day."

"It's your own fault! When you framed Xiu Ru back then, you should have imagined today."

Yuan Xiufu stopped laughing when he heard the words, and let out a long sigh, "I now understand why the emperor didn't defend himself." He stared at Dongfang Su, his eyes were like ghosts and gods, "Because arguing with someone who is not worth it has humiliated myself .”

"What else do you have to argue?"

"Don't the guards of the East know about King Xin's temper? If I wanted to harm him, how could he have survived to this day?" Yuan Xiu squinted at him, "If my guess is right, he should be safe in your bed now. Otherwise , my head is now on the point of your gun."

"You think I won't kill you if he's alive?"

"It doesn't matter whether you kill me or not. You can blame me for everything. I have a clear conscience. The people who harmed him also wanted to harm me, but I killed them instead." Yuan Xiufu looked at his hands , I can still remember the blood on my hands that night.He fled with his mother Concubine Huan and two uncles, all the way in panic and bumps, Concubine Huan contracted a disease, and the new king wanted Yuan Xiufu in Kyushu, Er Huan wanted to kill their mother and son, and fled to Saibei alone to join Qihu. It was noticed by Yuan Xiufu.He took advantage of the night when Er Huan was about to strike, and he struck back, and with two swords, he taught the two uncles who were not skilled in martial arts to fall to the ground.He took his mother along with the beggars. On the way, Concubine Huan died of illness. He buried his mother hastily and continued to live among the beggars day after day. He heard that the rebellions in various places were put down one by one. Being homeless, he finally thought of Dongfang Valley. .He bought off the courier with the last bit of valuable crown belt on his body, and sent a letter to Dongfanggu, hoping that Dongfanggu would find a way to settle himself in Yongzhou, but the last thing he waited for was Dongfangsu. He lost his calculation of people's hearts.

Dongfang Su obviously didn't know that concubine Huan and his two elder brothers planned to frame Yuan Xiuru. He only thought Yuan Xiufu was talking nonsense for his life, so he ordered people to take him down.

Yuan Xiufu struggled, "It's you, Dongfang Su! Are you really worthy of him? He was reprimanded by the emperor because of you, because you can't hold your head up in front of people, and you are mermaid!"

"What nonsense!"

"You went to Jizhou cleanly. Do you know that the father scolded and insulted him in public at Anru Temple? You know that he was supposed to marry my cousin and the Huan family. Because of your dirty deeds, the old grandmaster refused to marry his granddaughter." After marrying him, my father reluctantly found Cui Shangshu as his 'backer'!"

Dongfang Su trembled with anger, while Yuan Xiufu laughed wildly with pride.

"Gag him!"

Yuan Xiufu was escorted to Shenjing and imprisoned in the prison, which is the room where Yuan Xiuru once lived. The only person who came to visit him was Dongfanggu.

When Yuan Xiufu entered school at the age of eight, the Dongfang family should have sent Dongfang Xuan, who was about the same age as him, as a companion. palace.Yuan Xiufu was very resistant to choosing a child from the Dongfang family to study with him like his elder brother, but he fell in love with Dongfanggu at first sight.Different from the sharp-edged square faces of his two elder brothers, Dongfanggu, who is under seven years old, has a round face and a pair of round eyes. He doesn't talk much but loves to laugh.Yuan Xiufu likes to bully him until his nose starts to cry, and also likes to coax him, giving him a plate of snacks can make him smile.Dongfang Gu's naivety further accentuated Yuan Xiufu's intelligence. Dongfang Gu always followed His Highness Xin Wang, and discussed everything with him. He believed that he surpassed his elder brother. Yuan Xiu was sweet to the core of his heart.He was pretending to win over Dongfang Xuan, but he was sincere in protecting Brother Dongfang in a critical moment, even without Yuan Xiuru's request, he would do that.

"Your Highness...I'm sorry for you." At this time, Dongfanggu was full of guilt.

"I'm not His Highness anymore, and you didn't let me down." Yuan Xiufu couldn't bear to say harsh words to Dongfanggu even though he was in prison, but he couldn't help comforting him, "Compared to dying of freezing and starving in Yongzhou, or in It is a hundred times better to stay here if it is hacked to death by the rebel army somewhere."

Dongfanggu heard his miserable words, and burst into tears, "I know they wronged His Highness..."

"It's been so long, you kid's temper hasn't changed?" Yuan Xiufu couldn't help laughing, and reached out to help him wipe away his tears, but found that his hands were dirty, so he gave up, "It doesn't matter if I'm wronged or not. It doesn't matter, what matters is whether I'm still useful."

Dongfanggu didn't understand what he meant, "What's the use?"

"If my life is useful to your father and brother, even if I am not wronged, I will not die. If my life is useless, or death is useful, then even if I am wronged, I must die."

"But I don't know if Father thinks His Highness is useful."

"Don't worry, your elder brother can let me return to Shenjing from Yongzhou alive, which means that I am still useful." Yuan Xiufu still decided to continue to comfort him, "Otherwise, I will suffer that little grievance for my elder brother, and the court will fail. .”

"That's good. I will inquire again." Dongfang Guji Xinyuan Xiufu's words never corrected the wrong, even if it was to coax him, "Since I left the city, I have been thinking about His Highness day and night. I am not with His Highness. I don't care about anything. I can't do it well...I was overjoyed when I received His Highness's letter, but there was nothing I could do, so I discussed it with my second brother, who knows he..."

"Stop talking, it's not your fault, it's because I didn't expect Dongfang Xuan..."

"But the second brother told me that you are far away in Yongzhou, and it is really dangerous. He is beyond his reach. Now that he is in Shenjing, he can wait for an opportunity to save you."

Yuan Xiufu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Dongfang Xuanzhen had such a kind heart, he wouldn't meet Dongfang Su who hated him deeply.

"A Gu, you are also a member of the royal family now. You must know that the family of the Son of Heaven is the most noble, dangerous, and ruthless. If you don't have other people's blood on your hands, others will come to your blood. My elder brother is For example." Yuan Xiufu felt pain in his heart when he said this, "I know you can't do these things, but you have to learn to avoid those open and hidden arrows."

"What open and hidden arrows? Who wants to harm me?" Dongfanggu became frightened.

"In places you know and where you don't know, there will be people who want to harm you. Maybe they don't want to do it today, but they will think about it tomorrow... Now your father and brother are no longer your father and brother, they are the emperor, the prince, and the prince , plus those heroes, they will fight for power and profit together, and you may be their weight, or you may be used as a threat or a stumbling block."

"so what should I do?"

"Life and death have their own destiny, wealth and honor are in the sky..." Yuan Xiufu turned his back to him, "Don't come to see me again, I can't protect you now, and I don't want to hurt you."

"You won't hurt me."

"Having said so much, you still don't understand? No matter what the relationship between the prince of the current dynasty and the remnants of the previous dynasty is, they will be used by others. At that time, neither you nor I will be able to protect them. Do you understand?" Yuan Xiufu became serious.

"I understand... If I don't come, don't be angry, Your Highness."

"A Gu, you can do whatever you want, drink, compose poems, listen to songs, enjoy flowers...just don't save me." He closed his eyes, as if he was doing these things himself, "Also, no matter what, stay away from Dongfang Xuanyuan a little."
