see the gentleman

Ji Yun led people out of the palace in a mighty way, and personally went to pick Bai Chen back to the capital.

With such a long favorite, everyone in the government and the public thought that Bai Chen would go straight to the sky when he came back this time.

As a result, there was a lot of thunder and little rain. When Ji Yun left the palace, the whole city knew about it, but when she came back, she kept a low profile and made no noise.

They arrived in Beijing at night, the lights of thousands of houses had been extinguished, and the streets were empty after the curfew.

Compared with a great hero who has made great achievements in the world, Bai Chen is more like a person who can't see anyone. His car enters through the cracked side door of the city gate, and even runs over the bluestone road. are reduced as much as possible.

Compared with when Bai Chen resigned and returned to Beijing, the streets lined the streets to welcome him, with cheers and flowers everywhere, the treatment was more than a star and a half worse.

Since Bai Chen returned to his residence in Side Mao Lane, he never stepped out of the courtyard door once.And some suspicious people appeared one after another outside the courtyard, wandering outside the courtyard every day as if they were sentry posts in turn.

A month later, the slow-moving army finally arrived in Beijing.

But the army failed to enter the city.

They were blocked out by the people they had only protected with a taller and more solid city wall. They earned their lives from the dead, and they were full of expectations of being outstanding and shining, but they were rejected indifferently.

But the crown prince Ji Heng and the uncle Gu Huan were proudly welcomed into the palace triumphantly.

If it is said that large troops cannot enter the city at will, Jiang Chong will admit it, but in the following meritorious deeds and rewards, Ji Heng, who runs errands behind Bai Chen's butt every day, won the first prize Gu Huan, who had never been to the top, was also greatly rewarded. Some unknown so-called shrimp soldiers and crab generals were promoted to three ranks in a row, but Bai Chen and Bai Chen's cronies seemed to be sitting in a row. The rewards were so stingy that people were speechless. It's too common to become a piece of bullshit - withdrawing the military power from Bai Chen's hands, and relegating him to the priests of the dog emperor's family, this is not what is going up and down!

Jiang Chong is full of temper, violent and aggressive, and very rascal. There are only one or two people who he likes in his eyes. The rewards and punishments are not clear. Of course, Ji Yun, who is fatuous and incompetent, is not in his eyes. Watching this scene where the hero was suppressed and buried actually happened, he was so angry that he opened his mouth to scold.

Bai Chen was one step ahead of him, without saying a word, and knelt down to accept the order!

And Ji Yun sat on the high seat with an indifferent expression, as if he was very high and far away, he didn't even lower his eyes to look at the person kneeling under his feet.

Until being dragged out of the hall, Jiang Chong was still full of anger and aggrieved.

But he bumped into the arrogant Gu Huan and his party in the corridor.

Gu Huan was ill before, although Ji Yun didn't dismiss his position, he was actually unable to take charge of the affairs, and he was robbed by Bai Chen again, his camp was broken up to pieces, today Ji Yun made a decree, Bai Chen's military power was withdrawn, Although Ji Yun didn't make a clear decree, but there is no one in court, those things will return to Gu Huan sooner or later.

Gu Huan is relaxed and effortless, he has others to do the fighting, and neither the credit nor the fruits will be lost.

Seeing Gu Huan approaching step by step, Jiang Chong's face turned livid, and he clenched his fists secretly.

Bai Chen looked completely indifferent, even a little slow to react, when Gu Huan came up to him, his eyeballs moved, rolled up and saw Gu Huan.

Gu Huan saw that his face was pale, his eyes were blue and black, his lips were dry, and he looked very haggard, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said happily, "Mr. Bai Xiaolang seems to be in a bad state recently."

Bai Chen acted as if he had never heard of it, Jiang Chong stared at him dumbfounded.

Probably because his vicious gaze was too substantive, Gu Huan looked at Jiang Chong, but raised his chin slightly, with a haughty expression, and sneered: "It is thanks to Little General Jiang that we retreated from the enemy this time."

Then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Gu Huan expressed his gratitude without sincerity: "His Royal Highness and this general will both be grateful to you."

A gust of blood rushed straight to his forehead, as if there was fire in his throat and eyes, and the veins on Jiang Chong's forehead twitched wildly.

"gone."

Bai Chen made a sound, his voice was rough and hoarse, as if damaged.

He and Gu Huan didn't deal with each other. In the past, they always confronted each other when they met, but today they didn't even look at Gu Huan. They just dragged Jiang Chong, who had an irritable face and wanted to hit someone, forward.

Gu Huan looked at the other person's back and narrowed his eyes slightly.

A small servant came over in a hurry suddenly: "General, Your Majesty, please stay for a while."

The eunuch's voice was high and sharp, and Gu Huan could clearly see that the man in front of him paused, as if he was waiting for something.

However, no one called to stop him in the end, so he had no choice but to move on.

Gu Huan thoughtfully followed the little eunuch into the palace, stepped over the threshold, his expression tightened, and he concealed all his emotions.

Sitting in the middle of the empty hall, Ji Yun was probably a little tired. In such a short period of time, he propped his chin and closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

Ji Yun had dreams intermittently, and the past and present were mixed together chaotically. For a while, Bai Chen stabbed at him with a sword, and scolded him unkindly and viciously, saying that he deserved to die; Pulling him back, this Bai Chen also said a lot, but he saw the other's lips opening and closing, his voice was hoarse, but his ears seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't hear anything clearly.

From time to time, the two Bai Chen merged into one, half hating and half sad.He wanted to touch the crying one, but was scared by the hateful one and withdrew his hand. After a few times, Ji Yun couldn't tell which one was the real Bai Chen.

Then the picture turned again, and he saw someone wearing a battle flag and riding a war horse, picking him down with a sword. The vast mountains and rivers he held in his hand were like fragile glass, shattered in a blink of an eye.

Ji Yun suddenly opened his eyes in palpitation.

Just as Gu Huan raised his hand to stop Xiao Huangmen's summons, he walked lightly towards Ji Yun.

He didn't take two steps, but Ji Yun suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of sharp vigilance and defense, and there was a killing intent overflowing for a moment.

Gu Huan was stunned by the other party's gaze for a moment, and stopped in place.

Just as Ji Yun woke up, there seemed to be a thunderbolt spark in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see anything clearly, until his eyes focused and Ji Yun saw Gu Huan, the palpitation that made his hands and feet cold slowly subsided.

Ji Yun's shoulders collapsed, and he let out a slow and heavy breath of relief.

The tone was not completely relieved, Ji Yun frowned again, and he shouted angrily in a low voice: "Gu Qing is here, why hasn't anyone informed?"

Little Huangmen suffered an unreasonable disaster, and he didn't dare to defend himself, so he knelt down with a plop, and confessed his crime with all his might.

Gu Huan frowned slightly, and said: "The minister saw that His Majesty was so tired that he fell asleep, and told the servants not to disturb him, but instead surprised His Majesty."

Ji Yun has always been lenient and easy to talk to, and Gu Huan was there to intercede. According to the past, at most two reprimands would be enough, but today he refused to be kind. His face was gloomy, and he was indeed angry: "One or two There are no rules like this, you can do whatever others tell you to do, who is your serious master—go and get punished yourself!"

Xiao Huangmen rolled out with his broken head, Xu Guangnian refills tea for Gu Huan without saying a word, Gu Huan calmly found a seat by himself, took a sip from the teacup.

Lifting his eyelids, he said without hesitation: "Who has offended His Majesty?"

Still angry, Ji Yun flicked his sleeves irritably: "Don't mention it."

Gu Huan didn't seem to be able to wink, and started another topic: "Then how did the young gentleman of the Bai family make His Majesty unhappy? , nothing left."

It's okay not to mention Bai Chen, but when Bai Chen is mentioned, Ji Yun's whole body is almost set on fire.

He glared at Gu Huan angrily: "You can't stop talking, it's giving you face, right?"

Gu Huan raised his eyebrows, and he had such an expression on his face.

He put down the teacup, looked down for a moment, he saw the gloom gathering between his brows in the tea soup.

Gu Huan seemed to be interested in a piece of tea stalk floating on the tea soup, he lowered his head, his voice sounded almost irrelevant and leisurely: "They are all meritorious ministers, your majesty suppressed it so obviously, don't be afraid Arouse resentment?"

Ji Yun's jaw tensed, and she said bluntly: "It seems that Gu Qing has already guessed why I asked you to come here."

Gu Huan smiled lowly: "Your Majesty naturally wants to see the minister because he has something to ask for."

"..."

"Your Majesty, for some reason, detested Mr. Bai Xiaolang. Not only did he want to relinquish his authority, but he also wanted to prevent him from making trouble with his subordinates." Gu Huan seemed to have finally lost interest in Chazhan. He raised his eyes, With half a smile in his eyes, he stared at Ji Yun, "It's just that His Majesty has no one to use, so I have to pick up the minister again."

After the other party had finished speaking, Ji Yun had nothing to say for a moment, and there was an awkward silence in the air.

At the beginning about the Wanghe Tower incident, the two of them almost tore their faces apart. Later, even if Gu Huan took a step back and asked him to go out, how could the stalk between the two throats be easily eliminated.

After that time, Ji Yun never went to Wanghe Tower again, because the shadow left by falling from the ladder was too deep, he didn't even dare to sit in a sedan chair that was a little bit closed.

In the silence, Gu Huan suddenly said in a low voice: "It's my fault that surprised His Majesty."

This is what it means to bow your head first.

Just like when the two were young, every time they quarreled, Gu Huan would always show his favor to him first.

But the innocuous quarrel when I was young, and the suspicion and disagreement brought about by the opposing positions when I grew up, may be of a different nature.

Ji Yun's eyebrows twitched. It's just that after so many years, the two of them once trusted each other and were suspicious of each other, but it seems that two entangled, symbiotic trees squeeze each other's living space and rob each other of nutrients and water. After all, they can't be separated. .

Unsurprisingly, some people were very dissatisfied with the unfair rewards, especially Jiang Chong, who made a fuss about it many times.

Just the memorabilia of impeaching Jiang for street fights piled up, and Ji Yun was so fed up with this man that he drew up an order early on to drive them all back to Qiaozhou camp for a drink.

In the end, before he could drive them away, Jiang Chong's grandson, who stole Xiong Xin and leopard gall from somewhere to eat, dared to lead his troops to mutiny!

It was the large army gathered outside the city, most of them were people who swore to follow Bai Chen since Bai Chen's first expedition. It's like a pot of ecstasy soup, follow him back together!

When Ji Yun heard the news, he was so angry that he beat the case on the spot.

Ji Yun almost immediately remembered the fate of the previous life, which was like a curse.

Bai Chen's military power has been removed by him!There are still people patrolling outside Baichen's courtyard!

But Jiang Chong, Jiang Chong...why is Jiang Chong!

Ji Yun's palms were full of sweat, as if he wanted to shake off the greasy sweat, he patted the table vigorously, blushing and cursing at the top of his voice, "Where is Bai Chen! Go and kill Bai Chen!" Catch it!"

Gu Xiang led a group of cavalry and immediately dispatched to the side hat alley to arrest people.

Half an hour later, Gu Xiang came back with an ugly expression. Ji Yun's expression was even uglier than his, and even his voice was split: "Where is Bai Chen!? Where are others!?"

"Damn me, Wei Chen. When Wei Chen rushed to the small courtyard, the people inside went to the empty building, and they had already run away."

Ji Yun's feet swayed, and he quickly reached out to support the corner of the table, so as not to fall down.

Bai Chen didn't run away, but he could still say that Jiang Chong's rebellion was due to his own life, and it had nothing to do with Bai Chen.

But at this moment, Bai Chen ran away.

Ji Yun's hands and feet were weak, and finally he couldn't hold on anymore, so he fell back into the chair.

His heart felt cold, and he felt a burst of convulsions. With each breath, he was so painful that he broke out in a cold sweat and shivered uncontrollably.

In the end they made it this far.

No matter what he does, no matter whether he intends to make up for it or cut off the root cause first, once the roulette wheel of fate turns and all factors are entangled together, they still piece together a clear-cut and obvious trend-the same as the previous life. ending.

As if mocking his overreaching.

Ji Yun's heart was full of confusion, fear, and desperation for an established destiny that seemed to be foreseeable and could not be escaped no matter what.

The cold sweat that was greasy on the eyelashes gradually became overwhelmed, fell down and melted into Ji Yun's eyes.

Ji Yun's eyes were blurred, and his voice seemed to be filled with water vapor, and it became hoarse and blurred: "Call the general—"

"Purge the rebels with all our might, and arrest Bai Chen and bring him to justice!"
