Non-dye Emperor Jingchen

?Wu Wangfu.

Xiao Qi was still in a coma, Zhao Lingcang asked Chen Muxiang: "Can you still pick it up?"

Chen Muxiang looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid...it's very difficult...and, Mr. Xiao will not only need a wheelchair in a short time, but it may be difficult for him to write..."

Feng Mengyou got up and knelt in front of Zhao Lingcang: "It's my concubine who neglected her duties and failed to protect Lord Xiao well. I beg your lord to come down."

Zhao Lingcang waved his hands wearily: "What's the use of saying this now? I was so confused that I agreed to let him go."

Chen Muxiang said again: "My lord and concubine don't need to blame yourself too much. As long as Mr. Xiao insists on doing some exercises in the future, it is not impossible to walk like a normal person in three to five years." Not long after, he added: " The prince and concubine might as well go to rest first, there are villains here to serve you."

After they left, Chen Muxiang moved a chair and sat by the bed, staring at Xiao Qiqi in a daze.

Seeing that Xiao Qi's lips were moving slightly as if he was saying something, he hurriedly moved closer, only hearing the word Ziya vaguely... Chen Muxiang sighed from the bottom of his heart, took a towel beside him and wiped it for Xiao Qi To wipe the sweat from the forehead.

Between the flickering of the candle, Chen Muxiang's thoughts seemed to be pulled away.He knew that he and Xiao Qi were like toads and swans, he was just a grassroots man, he got into the palace by chance, in the eyes of others, this was already a great thing.But no matter who has changed from a sparrow to a phoenix, he can feel the three words, dissatisfaction.

An ordinary person suddenly one day entered the ranks of dignitaries everywhere, he may be ecstatic at first, and then gradually realize a gap after calming down.That is the gap between the children of the family.

Chen Muxiang's love and longing for Xiao Qi may be more due to the difference in their identities.Although Chen Muxiang knew this well, it didn't stop him from falling in love like moths to a flame.

Xiao Qi seemed to be having a nightmare, his body struggled slightly, Chen Muxiang held his hand and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

When Xiao Qi woke up, he thought he was holding Yang Ziya's hand, and seeing that it was Chen Muxiang, Xiao Qi's expression returned to his usual calmness: "It's you."

Chen Muxiang saw him wake up, and told Xiao Qi what he had just said to Zhao Lingcang.He didn't choose to hide it, and he couldn't hide it anyway, let alone the other party was a man.

Xiao Qi's expression was unexpectedly calm, he didn't show many emotions such as uneasiness, anxiety, sadness, etc. because he might become a cripple, he just asked a question quietly: "These wounds, Will there be scars?"

Chen Muxiang thought that he was worried that there would be scars in the future, so she comforted her: "I use the best medicine, and the scars won't be visible unless you look carefully."

Xiao Qi glanced at him and smiled: "You don't have to lie to me, I just want to leave these scars."

Chen Muxiang's eyes were full of puzzlement: "Why?"

Xiao Qi didn't answer him: "You are tired too, go down and rest."

"But you are now...inconvenient..."

Xiao Qidao: "Although I am disabled, I am not a waste."

Chen Muxiang had no choice but to get up and leave: "I'm right outside, just call me if you need anything."

Xiao Qi nodded. In fact, he didn't know why he insisted on leaving these scars, why he insisted on going to see Song Cidao for Yang Ziya.

This may be an almost naive idea. Song Yingxiu can poison Yang Ziya, and I, Xiao Qi, can do the same for Yang Ziya.The root cause is that Xiao Qi felt that Yang Ziya didn't love him enough, or that he didn't show that he loved him enough.There is always a doubt in Xiao Qi's heart, whether his weight in Yang Ziya's heart is not as important as that of Song Yingxiu back then.

But now the news of Song Yingxiu's death made him worry about gains and losses even more.How can the living compare with the dead?

Xiao Qi lay on the bed, his thoughts seemed to fall into a bottomless pit.He wanted to slap himself hard or splash himself with a plate of cold water, but he couldn't.

Xiao Qi told himself more than once, you are a man, how can you be so entangled in emotional matters?What's more, you haven't avenged your parents yet, but you have already become like this.

He suddenly felt very tired, very tired.

When Xiao Qi opened his eyes again, he found a person standing beside the bed.There was still a lot of dust on that person's clothes, apparently standing there just after he came back.

"Jingchen, you're back."

Chu Jingchen was expressionless: "Why did you become like this, young master?"

Xiao Qi smiled: "It's hard to say."

Chu Jingchen continued to ask: "My lord, is it worth it for Yang Ziya?"

Xiao Qi didn't answer: "You guessed it right."

Chu Jingchen said: "Young master thinks it's worth it, then it's worth it." After finishing speaking, he turned and left without looking back.

On Yang Ziya's side, a group of talents had just entered Liangzhou. In order not to be recognized by others, they were able to disguise themselves.

Yang Ziya is the first young master and Zhao Jichen is the second young master.As for the others, they naturally accompanied the two young masters to the Qingcheng School to learn from their teachers.

This day Yang Ziya accidentally broke the jade pendant he took from Xiao Qi that day, logically speaking, it is impossible to break it at this height.His intuition told him that something must have happened to Xiao Qi.

Seeing that he was a little worried, everyone speeded up their journey.

This is the only small town near Qingcheng Mountain. Yu Jie remembered that he liked to eat the rice noodles from Mrs. Chen's shop under the bridge with his senior brother, and the second senior brother who occasionally accompanied them.

Things are changing now, but he still decided to eat the rice noodles there once.

"Sister-in-law Chen, do you still recognize me?" Yu Jie raised the brim of his hat a little.

Mrs. Chen looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "Isn't this Mr. Yu? I haven't seen you for so many years, where have you been?"

Yu Jie smiled wryly: "It's hard to explain in one word, Mrs. Chen, serve me another bowl of rice noodles, remember not to add green onions."

"Okay." The woman replied straightforwardly, she glanced at the others again, and said, "What do you want?"

Everyone also ordered something casually. There were not many customers at this time, and Mrs. Chen asked Yu Jie while serving the dishes: "What is Xianggong Yu here for?"

Yu Jie smiled and said, "Of course I went to Mount Qingcheng."

Aunt Chen's complexion changed, and she lowered her voice and said, "A few days ago, I heard that some officers and soldiers went up Mount Qingcheng, and it was covered in darkness. I don't know what happened, so you should be more careful."

"What?" Yu Jie knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Sister-in-law Chen, I have to take a step ahead, let's talk about it in the future." After finishing speaking, he took out the money from his pocket and put it on the table, and the group of people led Guo Ma galloped towards Mount Qingcheng.

Only Mrs. Chen was left stunned: "This money...hasn't been found yet..."

After all, they came late, and the strong smell of blood stimulated everyone.The Qingcheng faction, which was still considered prosperous in the past, was like hell. Yu Jie held back his tears and counted the corpses. There were 190 members of the Qingcheng faction, except for senior brother Xue Wuzheng and his disciples who had left the sect, no one was spared.

He had imagined the worst plan, but he still didn't expect that Ning Yuhuan would use the army.

There are more than [-] wounds, large and small, on the master's body, and the seventh junior brother is still holding his one-year-old daughter in his arms.Seeing such a miserable situation, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads away and couldn't bear to look at it. Zhao Jichen covered his mouth and almost vomited.Only Yu Jie tried to carefully remember every fellow who died, he drew his sword, and slashed fiercely on his arm, blood trickled down from the tip of the sword.

No one came up to persuade him, because everyone knew that it was his oath, not to avenge this, and vowed not to be a human being.

Yu Jie went to the master's room to find out the roster of those disciples, and was about to order someone to notify the disciples who left the master's school to come to express their condolences, and then paid for an eminent monk to do it.

Due to the limited identities of the people, the tragic extermination of the Qingcheng faction was only declared to be an unsolved case. Even if some people who were kind to them wanted to find out the truth behind the scenes, they vaguely understood the identity of the person behind it. Then press no statement.

If it is said that the original Yu Jie had no practical concept of treason, then Yu Jie's heart is extremely firm now.He will definitely invade Luoyang and behead the Ning family father and son with his sword.

At night, Yu Jie was still sorting out the account books of the Qingcheng faction and some manuals of personnel change records. Zhao Jichen opened the door and came in. Seeing his hard work, he said, "It's so late, why don't you rest?"

Yu Jie put down the account book in his hand, and replied bluntly: "I can't sleep."

"Then I'll watch it with you." Zhao Jichen directly took a chair and sat down beside him.

The two of them just sat and looked through the account book, and after an unknown amount of time, Yu Jie said, "When I close my eyes, I can recall how they looked when they were alive. I didn't go to Master's [-]th birthday the year before last; Seventh Junior Brother I was newly married last year, and the letter was sent to the capital, so I still didn't go. But the daughter of the seventh junior brother is only one year old...How on earth can you deal with those beasts that are not as good as pigs and dogs?"

His voice was choked with sobs, Zhao Jichen could see that Yu Jie's eyes were a little red, and he said: "In the few days after I found out about the death of my mother and concubine, I was just like you now. I was really unfilial, Not only did I not get to see her for the last time, but I also couldn’t go to her tomb to worship in the second year.”

"But you have to know," Zhao Jichen took Yu Jie's hand and interlocked with his own fingers, "No matter what happens, it will pass. The dead are gone, and the living are like this. I will accompany you back to the capital, kill Ning Yuhuan."

It will be half a month after the Qingcheng faction's affairs are almost settled.It took another ten days to return from Liangzhou to Xijing.

During this period, Xiao Qi's wounds healed very quickly, the gauze had been removed, and the shocking scars on his hands that were as big as the mouth of a bowl were not visible due to the wide sleeves on weekdays. There is no way to hide it.

He wasn't in a bad mood, Chen Muxiang would come regularly every day to deliver medicine to him, and also began to teach him how to stand up and walk again.

After the group returned from Qingcheng, they first went to see Zhao Lingcang and Feng Mengyou.

Hearing Yu Jie talk about the tragic destruction of the Qingcheng faction, the two couldn't help but look sideways. When Yu Jie and Yang Ziya were about to leave, Zhao Lingcang took a look at Yang Ziya and said, "Mr. Yang, go and see Mr. Xiao."

Yang Ziya didn't react, he just said: "Of course I will go to see him."

Seeing his ignorant expression, Feng Mengyou only sighed silently.

Xiao Qi had already heard about the return of Yu Jie and others, and he didn't know how to explain it to Yang Ziya, so he just said: "Jing Chen, Ziya should come too, take me out and wait for him."

Chu Jingchen pushed the wheelchair out without saying a word.

Yang Ziya just walked into the courtyard where Xiao Qi lived, what he saw was such a scene.Why, Mingshen is sitting in a wheelchair?Is he hurt?Why are you hurt?

Yang Ziya walked over quickly, looked at Xiao Qi in disbelief, and said: "Ming Shen, who made you into this?"

A cold light flashed, and a sword was already on Yang Ziya's neck, it was Chu Jingchen's sword.Chu Jingchen said coldly: "The culprit of all this is you."

"Jing Chen," Xiao Qi scolded, "Don't be rude."

Only then did Chu Jingchen put away his sword, and stood sideways, looking at the two of them coldly.

Xiao Qi looked at Yang Ziya, whom he hadn't seen for many days, with a slight smile in his eyes: "The woman from Lu Zilou was robbed by Song Cidao, and he called out to fight you to the death. I went for you. When I come back, I will It became like this."

Yang Ziya's face was a little pale, startled and angry: "He crippled your leg?"

Xiao Qi shook his head: "He broke my tendons."

Yang Ziya stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve up, and saw the scar on Xiao Qi's hand, he felt a little heartbroken: "Ming Shen, wait for me to come back." If Song Cidao is not dead, who will come to relieve his anger?

Chu Jingchen seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said, "If you want to kill Song Cidao, you don't have to. His body was discovered a week ago."

"Who killed it?" Yang Ziya's face was distorted, "It would be too cheap for him to die like this."

"Suicide." Xiao Qi said, "Song Cidao committed suicide."

Yang Ziya fell silent: "Mingshen, I'm sorry."

Xiao Qi's smile was a little tired: "You never have to say sorry to me. You don't have to worry, in a few days, I can barely walk with someone supporting me." He laughed while talking, "With It's like getting old."

Seeing his smile, Yang Ziya wanted to go up to him and hug him, but he found sadly that he couldn't do it anymore.

Xiao Qi sighed: "Jing Chen, go down."

After Chu Jingchen left, Yang Ziya slowly squatted down in front of the wheelchair. He gently kissed the scar on Xiao Qi's hand and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Xiao Qi smiled: "How long has passed, the wounds have healed."

"Yes, the wounds have healed. Not only did I fail to accompany you, but I was completely kept in the dark."

It was only then that Xiao Qi remembered the purpose of their trip: "How about the Qingcheng faction?"

Yang Ziya's expression was solemn: "Except for Xue Wuxia who is still missing, all of them are gone."

Xiao Qi was not surprised by this result, but said something irrelevant: "Zi Ya, don't you want to pay homage to Song Yingxiu? Back then..."

Yang Ziya kissed him, he didn't want to hear anything about the Song family, partly because of Song Cidao, and partly because Song Yingxiu had become a hole in his heart, no one could fill it, but Xiao Qi could substitute.

"My lord, Master Yu, with all due respect, is there anything else we need to consider about Mingshen's injury?" Yang Ziya comforted Xiao Qi to sleep, then put on his clothes and got up to find Yu Jie and Zhao Lingcang.

Zhao Lingcang had this idea long ago, when he heard Yang Ziya mention it, he answered, "What Mr. Yang said is about military expenditure."

"Yes, I know that in order to cope with the investigation from above, there is really not much official bank in Qingzhou and Jingzhou that can be used as military expenses. Secondly, for the sake of the people's hearts, the people dare not lose a little bit. In terms of finances, the prince has really worked hard. "

Yu Jie didn't think about this question, but now that they mentioned it, he also felt that it was not a good thing to put most of the chips on Lu Zilou, so he asked, "Why did the prince choose Lu Zilou in the first place?"

Zhao Lingcang said: "It was not my intention to choose Lu Zilou, but unfortunately there was no one to choose at that time. At the beginning, we planned candidates from the Zuo family, Gongsun family, Qiao Yueji from Xijing, the Lan family and Su family from Jiangling, and Lu from Hangzhou. Choose between Zilou and Yu Zhiyou, but after encountering various accidents, I chose Lu Zilou."

Seeing his appearance, Yang Ziya also guessed that he must have encountered some troubles at that time, and said: "Lu Zilou has a good relationship with me, if I want to do something unfavorable to him, I really can't do it. It stands to reason , if we succeed, the benefits of these people will definitely be indispensable, but why...?"

Zhao Lingcang took a sip of tea and said, "The relationship between the Zuo family is too complicated and there are too many variables. The head of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Lengling, is useless. No matter how much he is allowed, he will not dare to rebel. Qiao Yue is old He is already high, so he definitely doesn't want to get involved. The Lan family in Jiangling and the Su family got married, but they somehow got involved with Ning Zhou and his son. It seems that Yu Zhiyou's business has not been very good in the past few years." He sighed Tone, "I don't know what Master Yu thinks?"

Yu Jie raised his eyebrows, remembering that the Zuo family in Xijing was not upright and Qingquan in Changchun Academy had some entanglements, and wondered if he could take advantage of it, so he told Zhao Lingcang and Yang Ziya about Qingquan, only concealing Zhao Jichen's part.

After hearing this, Yang Ziya asked, "Does the lord know who is the head of the Zuo family?"

Zhao Lingcang frowned, and thought about it carefully: "Zuo An is seriously ill, and the sons seem to be fighting for the position of Patriarch."

Yu Jie said: "Why don't we take the opportunity to choose someone to be the Patriarch?"

Yang Ziya said: "This method is too risky, not to mention that the son born in this kind of family is not an ordinary person."

But Zhao Lingcang said: "Master Yu's words are not unreasonable. Your team knows very little about these aristocratic families, and there is no good way at the moment. I will ask you to sort out some things about them for you. Just remember, this time You must be extremely cautious, and you must consider all aspects of the person's character, family background, experience, and children."

The two nodded and said: "You will keep it in mind."
