After dressing as a sick and weak villain
Chapter 21 Awakening
After Xu Chunmu left the palace gate, he walked slowly along the road. He didn't have a house in Shangjing, so he could only go to his elder brother Xu Changling first, but when he looked up, he realized that there was a busy city ahead.
In a few days, it will be the Qiqiao Festival, so the markets in this area are very lively these few days.
Decorate with lanterns and festoons, with idle flowers and green branches.
But there seemed to be officials and government soldiers dispersing the crowd, Xu Chunmu took a closer look, and at the end of the street was the sedan chair of the Duke of Yue's mansion.
But the Duke of Yue's mansion is clearly in the southeast, so how could he go in this direction.
Xu Chunmu pondered for a moment, then rode his horse forward a few steps.
But I saw a carriage ahead blocking the way, surrounded by many people.Xu Chunmu was even more suspicious, so he whipped the whip again and again, and the reins tightened suddenly. The horse, which had been on the battlefield with many bones, had a good understanding with him. It first stepped on the wall on one side to borrow strength, and then stepped on the roof of the gorgeous carriage. Then cross the crowd of onlookers and land steadily.
Crackling, the horseshoe gradually stopped.
The wind lifted the palanquin of Yue State to push the corner of the pearl curtain, and the sound of pearls and jade colliding was crisp and pleasing to the ears.
A white dress appeared in the sedan chair.
It's Chuxie.
His face changed slightly.
Xu Chunmu rode his horse through the crowd neatly, but the government soldiers couldn't stop him. Zhao Xuan was horrified to see the curtain of his carriage was thrown open, and he was still covered, and asked, "You, you..."
Xu Chunmu didn't answer, he just probed the man in Zhao Xuan's arms, his breath was weak, and his whole body was full of thick bloody smell.His back and thighs were all stained red with blood.
He lost so much blood that his hands and feet were cold.
With his eyes fixed, he untied the thick cloak on his body and wrapped him around him, avoiding the wound, hugged him horizontally and helped him onto the horse's back, laying him down in front of him, leaving only one sentence after he stabilized himself: " If that doesn't work, I'll send him off."
Xiao Shizi immediately asked someone to stop him, "Hey, you...you!" He hurriedly urged the outsiders to ride their horses to follow, but Xu Chunmu rode Juechen, and he and his horse had already walked half a mile.
The curtain of the carriage parked not far from the corner was lifted by a withered hand. It turned out that this was the sedan chair of Duke Rong's family. At this moment, Duke Chen Lianzhou looked at the receding figure and asked his grandson with a frown: " That's from the Xu family."
"Ah?" When Chen Xiaoshi stretched out his head to look, he was gone, "I, I don't quite recognize..."
"Xu Yi is so lucky, this grandson has the demeanor of his past."
The son of the Chen family sat down in embarrassment, and echoed: "Grandpa's words are reasonable."
Chen Lianzhou thought to himself, how could the Xu family save Chuxie.Could it be that the Xu family is not on the same page with King Ningyuan at all.
Now that Chu Xie is on the line, it's clear that he wants to support Jiang Yanchi, a yellow-haired kid!
This is not good.
Chen Lianzhou thought about it carefully, and felt more and more bad.Now Xu Changling has gained half of the military power of the imperial army, which is the guard at the feet of the emperor, which is worth thousands of troops outside.
In addition, Xu Chunmu, who holds 30 military power, entered Beijing at this time and rescued Chu Xie, so he took control of the three provinces and six ministries.
Could it be that the Xu family wanted to deal with the Rongguo government.
Chen Lianzhou's eyes were filled with dark light.
"Go, kill Xu Chunmu."
Xu Chunmu rode his horse and passed two streets when he immediately noticed a figure lurking on the side of the bricks and tiles. He held the iron bow behind him and hit it with his backhand. Tilting his head to avoid the flying knife.
Dare to do it.
As soon as I entered the imperial city, these people knew the news quickly.
He suddenly reached out and cut an arrow three inches from the back of Chu Xie's neck, then leaned back, hooked the rein of the horse with his right foot and pulled it. The horse was pulled by the rein and immediately turned right under the next excuse. Xu Chunmu took the long arrow in his hand Take the bow and lead the string to fly away.
With an arrow piercing through the heart, the assassin rolled and fell.
After crossing two narrow dark alleys, you can see the Chu Mansion head-on.
Xu Chunmu carried him down.
He was two inches taller than Chu Xie, and his cloak was extraordinarily wide, and when he wrapped him up and hugged him, a part of him hung down, making him seem to be buried in the cloth in his arms.
Years of fighting on the battlefield made him have an extremely keen sense of danger.
As soon as his feet hit the ground, there was a sound of breaking wind behind him.
Immediately bent his knees and squatted to dodge, then threw the man in his arms up slightly, pulled out the short blade at the waist, put it in the palm of his hand, turned the direction of the blade, and slit the man's throat with his backhand.
Blood spattered on his wrist, Xu Chunmu caught the falling person firmly, and bowed slightly to cushion his back so as not to hurt his back.
Don't wait to knock on the door, just walk in.
Seeing the secret guard of the Chu Mansion head on, he immediately said in a low voice, "This is Lord Chu."
The blade that was close at hand stopped.
"Go and call the doctor in the mansion."
After putting Chu Xie in place, he wiped off the blood on the knife, cut the thin fabrics on the man's body one by one, carefully peeled off the clothes that stuck to the flesh, and took out the medicine to stop the bleeding from his sleeve, but was caught Steward prevents.
"I brought this back from the battlefield. It's good to stop the bleeding."
It is probably because this person speaks too frankly, which makes people trust unconsciously.The steward hesitated for a moment, but still acquiesced that he should take the medicine.
When Dr. Zhu arrived, he immediately cut off a piece of thousand-year-old ginseng and hung it on his tongue, then he pricked the acupuncture point with silver needles to treat his wound.
After cleaning up for a while, I looked at the handsome young man beside me: "May I ask if you are..."
"My name is Xu, and my name is Chunmu."
"It turned out to be Lord Xu from the Northern Territory." Doctor Zhu bowed solemnly, "This time, thank you, Lord Xu, for your help..."
After some treatment, the man seemed to have finally breathed out the breath in his heart, but he hadn't woken up yet.Her lips moved, and the maid gave him a few sips of water immediately.
But the water couldn't be fed in, it just dripped from the corner of her mouth and wet the pillow, and the maid was so anxious that she cried.While putting down the bowl, he changed the pillow to a dry one for the man.
"what happened."
"Our lord...entered, entered Zhao Prison, His Royal Highness...brought, brought the person who personally brought the imperial guards to fetch him, and said that he assassinated the prince. It took only two or three days. How could it...become like this? ..." The maidservant Tao Li was crying sadly, the young girl Dou Kou was anxious, sobbing and choking when she spoke.
Assassinate Donggong.
Xu Chunmu seemed to have thought of something.
Immediately said in a deep voice: "Since he poisoned the East Palace, how did the crown prince escape?"
Doctor Zhu's complexion changed slightly, and he glanced secretly at Xu Chunmu.
Tao Li just stomped her feet and said: "What, it was all framed by outsiders. People from Zhao Prison and the Ministry of Punishments came to search for a whole day, but they found no evidence at all! It's all rumors! His Royal Highness doesn't know why, I want to believe those nonsense..."
Xu Chunmu stopped talking.
But I heard the report from the government soldiers, saying that the little prince is outside.As soon as Taoli heard that it was His Highness the Crown Prince again, she cried again in fright, and squatted on the edge of the bed wiping her tears: "It was our lord who helped this little prince to the throne back then. The prince will find trouble with us adults every few days, but... but Zensheng is good... woo woo..."
Doctor Zhu's face was not very good-looking, and he immediately ordered someone to report to the Duke of Yue.
Feeling inappropriate again, he called someone in a low voice to deliver another letter to Taifu's residence.
Xu Chunmu heard it with the tips of his ears, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
He also heard some movement outside, probably Jiang Yanchi had already broken in, but was blocked outside the dormitory and refused to come in.As soon as Xu Chunmu stepped out of the courtyard, he saw Xu Changling, who was tall and burly behind the prince.
Naturally, Xu Changling also saw him.
"Yo, why are you here." The elder brother raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Yanchi was also surprised when he saw Xu Chunmu, and then said, "Can you step aside, my young master? I have something to ask Chu Xie."
Xu Chunmu didn't move, just looked at the two of them, and said softly: "You are still awake, what Your Highness wants to ask, if it is convenient, why not tell me first, and I will ask for you as soon as possible when Master Chu wakes up."
"Hearing your tone, you still want to rest here?" Xu Changling sneered, "Why, you don't even like my mansion, do you, you have to live in someone else's house?"
Xu Chunmu glanced at the man, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Brother already has a wife, and it is Chunmu who is inconvenient to disturb."
Seeing his upright appearance, Xu Changling became angry, raised his nostrils and sneered again, "It's even more inappropriate for you to live in the Chu Mansion, if you have to say, wouldn't it be better to live in the East Palace?"
Jiang Yanchi seemed to have thought of something, and took a few steps towards Xu Chunmu, "Answer me truthfully, does the Xu family have a spy in the Chu residence?"
Xu Chunmu paused and shook his head.
"As far as I know, there hasn't been."
Jiang Yanchi's eyes darkened.
Xu Chunmu bowed again, and his courtesy was very thoughtful: "A person has only one breath left, and it's hard to say whether he can live through the night. Even if His Highness wants to ask, there will be nothing to ask. Why don't you go back first."
But Jiang Yan didn't leave.
Not only did he not leave, but he also summoned the steward of the Chu Mansion to tell everyone in the mansion to come over, from the steward of the account room to the servants who cleaned the house, passing by one by one.
The terrible thing was that he couldn't remember the figure and outline of that person at all.
Even the sound is muffled.
Can only return without success.
But Xu Chunmu noticed something strange, and asked, "Is Your Highness looking for someone?"
Jiang Yanchi was noncommittal.
"What kind of person is he from the Chu family?"
"do not know."
"What about the length, age, and appearance?"
"I don't know either."
Xu Chunmu was puzzled: "Then what does Your Highness want to do with that person?"
Jiang Yanchi shook his hands weakly, and only said vaguely: "He saved me."
Hearing this, Xu Chunmu winked, and immediately thought about the cause and effect, "Your Highness means that Chu Xie poisoned the East Palace, and someone saved you."
"Yes."
Xu Chunmu pondered for a moment, Jiang Yanchi thought that he had some thoughts and just wanted to ask a few more questions, when he heard him ask again: "Since I saved you, why don't you know what you look like?"
Jiang Yan refused to say any more, in fact, all thoughts were lost in his heart.
For so many days, there was no news at all. He would light the fireworks every night, but that person never appeared again.
Something must have happened to him.
Jiang Yanchi thought so many times in his heart, but he refused to really believe it.
Amu, you are right.I can overthrow Chu Xie, and I can enter the East Palace.You're so smart you can count everything.
But why so stupid.
You are obviously just an ordinary person with no status, so how could Chu Xie easily spare you if you risked your life to help me over and over again.
"City closed."
Jiang Yanchi let out a deep breath, and glanced at Xu Changling from the corner of his head: "The capital was closed for a month. Digging inch by inch, we must find him."
"But..." Seeing the prince's stubbornness, Xu Changling felt troubled, "Isn't it because he doesn't know what he looks like..."
"Very thin." Jiang Yanchi gestured with his hands, "The wrist is about this thick and thin, and the finger bones are evenly long. He has read books and plays the piano very well."
This is all nonsense.
This kind of feature is not a feature at all. If you grab a lot in the academy, they are all young masters who can read and play the piano.
But Xu Changling still couldn't say anything on the surface.
Jiang Yanchi was talking, as if he was suddenly awakened somewhere: "Go to the music workshop and ask, who can play those ancient, long-lost ancient tunes."
Xu Changling was even more confused, there were not many literate people in the music workshop, why did he go to the music workshop to find someone.
Xu Chunmu asked, "Which ancient music has that person played?"
"Xiaoya."
"Which chapter is it?"
Jiang Yanchi recalled it carefully for a while, then suddenly raised his eyes: "Kong Gu. It's Xiaoya's third chapter, Kong Gu."
Xiaoya empty valley.
Xu Chunmu was thoughtful, and suddenly lowered his head and raised it.
Calmly, he cast his peripheral vision to Chu Xie's bedroom behind him.
When the people from the Duke of Yue's mansion rushed over, Jiang Yanchi had already been sent out of the mansion by Xu Chunmu's kindness, and he had just left a few steps.Looking at his disappearing figure, Zhao Xuan couldn't help clasping his fists to salute the young master next to him: "This time, I really want to thank the young master..."
"My lord, thank me for what I did."
"Master Hou doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been at odds with Master Chu for a long time, and it has been even more so since the incident of the Jinhuan Gambling Shop more than half a year ago... Alas, if the Crown Prince really takes power in the future and rules the world, I'm afraid Chu The government will be destroyed."
Xu Chunmu looked at the afterglow of the setting sun with distant eyes.The crow-blue uniform contrasted with the blue walls and white tiles, and the figure blended with the twilight.
"Indeed……"
Doomsday.
The last ray of twilight faded from the horizon.
The Chu Mansion was brightly lit, and the lights were lit up, making it the brightest place in the entire Shang capital.
Xu Chunmu, like his own family, greeted the young prince of the Duke of Yue's mansion and went back to Chuxie's bedroom after dinner.
Taoli, who had been watching for more than a dozen hours without closing her eyes, was so sleepy that she lay on the edge of the bed, so the steward told her to go to the side hall to take a nap first.
Xu Chunmu took out Chu Xie's wrist from the warm quilt, put his thumb and middle finger together to estimate, and recalled the gesture His Royal Highness made just now, his eyes gradually deepened.
Is it difficult-
No, it's impossible.
***
That night.
pain.
In addition to pain, there is no other feeling.
Chu Xie finally had some consciousness, but he still didn't have the strength to open his eyes.
"Host, you are finally conscious..." the system cried for a while, "I have been using the pain relief buff for you all the time, how do you feel now?"
"Hmm..." Chu Xie didn't want to move a hair, "It still hurts."
"Of course, you were almost beaten to death...fortunately, lucky to be alive...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Don't cry, it's too noisy."
Chu Xie felt irritable in pain.
"Ding, Xu Chunmu's character fit is 80%. It's a new high, congratulations to the host!"
Chu Xie was stunned.
How many?
80%? !
"Ahhhhh...Host, host!" The system's voice sounded like an explosion in the head, "How on earth did you do it, the host is awesome! Woohoo host... Now the two characters fit at 60 % and above, the plot completion rate is 75%, as long as you add another five points, you can complete the task and be reborn directly from the death shield!"
But Chu Xie himself was also in a daze. Why did Xu Chunmu's character fit suddenly reach 80%. What happened while he was asleep?
It is the change that is completely irregular.There are still rules, but they are ignored by themselves.
etc.That's not the point.
It's still five points away, so it's enough to go through one more plot at most.
Chu Xie was refreshed.
"What's the next plot!"
"Host! The next plot is simple, it's 'Chen Lianzhou's death'. Just half a month later."
finally!
Can be reborn!
"It's just the host, you may not be able to get out of bed within half a month, you have to watch Chen Lianzhou die with your own eyes for this plot...or, we will miss this, recuperate, and wait for the next plot?"
Chu Xie's head hurts from the noise. This time, he lost a lot of blood and was seriously injured. His vision was still blurred after focusing for a long time.
"No, just go. I want to be reborn as soon as possible..."
The buzzing in his ears gradually dissipated, and he heard the quiet chirping of cicadas in the night.
There is also the sound of very slight footsteps moving close at hand.
Chu Xie was startled, his pupils dilated.He was trembling after smelling the fishy smell all over his body—could it be Jiang Yanchi, that bastard who thought that he was not killed, and came to assassinate again in the middle of the night!
As soon as he struggled with his head, a tearing pain came from his back, and he immediately heard a voice: "Don't move around." Noticing that his body was trembling, he added, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. "
The man checked the wound on his back, pulled the quilt up a little more, and then let out a sigh of relief: "Lord Chu is awake."
Very strange voice, cool and gentle.
"You are..." Chu Xie opened his mouth, only to realize that his throat seemed to have swallowed a handful of incense ash, and it was so hoarse and dry, "Who is..."
The voice of the system in the brain suddenly burst out. This time it did not scream, but reminded very heavily, "Host, yes, it is Xu Chunmu! The genuine Xu Chunmu!"
"I have long admired Master Chu's reputation. My surname is Xu, and my name is Chunmu. I am the grandson of Zhen Guohou Xu Yi."
The clear voice came to my ears again.
Chu Xie trembled in shock.
But he saw the man squatting down, probing his forehead with cold fingers, his movements were gentle and cautious.
"Wait a minute, wait a moment...something is wrong, host, what is wrong..."
Before Chu Xie could react, his eyes finally focused and he saw the face of the person in front of him clearly.
It was a clear and beautiful face, with delicate and elegant eyebrows and eyes.
Xu Chunmu didn't call the slaves, but stretched out his hands to support his shoulders. With slow and steady strength, Chu Xie was supported from prone to side lying, but the wound was not affected.The man went out and brought a bowl of thick black Chinese medicine to his lips.
Chu Xie's mouth was full of dullness, and he didn't feel bitter after drinking a bowl.
Xu Chunmu frowned slightly when he saw that he seemed to be used to taking medicine.
Push a jujube wrapped in icing sugar into Chu Xie's mouth.
He felt weird, so he couldn't help but glance at Xu Chunmu.
"This way it won't be bitter. When I was a child, I often fell off my horse. Every time I took medicine, my mother would give me a candied date." Xu Chunmu explained quietly.
This, this, this.
What the hell is going on.How could Xu Chunmu appear here?
Chu Xie's professionalism is extremely high. Although he didn't understand what the situation was, he continued to chat: "Xu Xiaohou has been valued by his family since he was a child, so he is naturally happy."
Xu Chunmu was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything further.
Put the empty bowl on the table at one side, and then help Chu Xie to lie down.
"It's lucky that you didn't die in Zhao Prison this time. Aren't you even afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Xu Chunmu looked away from Chu Xie's face, and said without any emotion: "Aren't you afraid of yourself, you won't die well?"
I'm afraid.
Scared to death!
In his previous life, Chu Xie was also afraid of pain when he was a child. Even with 95% of the pain relief buff turned on, the stick death still hurts so much.Now when he thinks about Jiang Yanchi's face, there is a psychological shadow.
Chu Xie's soul nodded like a crazy chick pecking rice: I also think Chu Xie has been working towards death, and the hero really sees the same thing.
Now Jiang Yanchi has entered the East Palace, and Chu Xie and Chu Xie are in court.
But Chu Xie knew that in less than a year, Jiang Yanchi would ascend the throne and kill himself completely.
He will only get more and more sad in the days that follow.You say you are not afraid, is that possible!
The most frustrating thing is that Jiang Yanchi's behavior cannot be predicted at all!The protagonist's line has been so collapsed that his own mother doesn't even recognize him, but he still has to play the supporting role line with dignity, and it's still the supporting role line of the two of them!
Thinking about it makes me feel too difficult.
The mental activity was intense, but the surface was still calm, and he threw out a sentence: "What do you mean by Xiao Houye's words?"
Xu Chunmu knew that he always liked to drink tea, so he got up and lit a small fire, and first boiled the tea.
"Do you know my fine print?"
"It's the word Yu'an."
Xu Chunmu paused for a moment while holding the teapot, and then poured out the first pot of tea, "Well. My grandfather named me Yu'an, which means partial security. He said he didn't expect me to do anything big, It's good to be happy for a lifetime and be casual."
Chu Xie was hesitant to speak when he heard the words with a very pedantic temperament.
"...You still have a lot to do."
30 soldiers and horses.He has made great military achievements at a young age, but he is not as young and promising as a textbook.
"I mean. People sometimes have too much obsession, indulge in it, and easily go astray... Or, ruin their lives for nothing."
"..."
There is something in the words.
Chu Xie turned on the system, and took another look at Xu Chunmu's character design—it's obvious that he is a cold and taciturn person, but why is there a lot of talk in front of him.
Even if it's too much, it's very philosophical.
Chu Xie couldn't understand philosophy at all, and he didn't know how to answer it.
The only sound in the room was the sound of boiling tea, gurgling.
This silence lasted for too long, Chu Xie was thinking about something to say, and changed the subject, when he turned his head and bumped into a pair of dark brown eyes.
When the eyes met, it was Xu Chunmu who spoke first: "In a few days it will be the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, let me take you out to relax."
"No need, I..." I'm so hurt that I may not even be able to get out of bed, so I don't have the mood to go out.
Chu Xie paused, "I don't like these things."
"We need to get in touch with the fireworks of the world. It's very interesting, the Qiqiao Festival...there will be a lantern show, it will be very beautiful."
Chu Xie finally heard something.
He said to the system: "This Xu Chunmu..."
"Looks like the male version of Duan Se."
"..."
"Is it this kind of innocent and kind-hearted kid who has never seen anything in the world, when he came to the capital for the first time, he always liked to watch the lantern festival?"
It turns out.
It is not Xu Chunmu who has never seen anything in the world, but Chu Xie Benxie.
Chu Xie has been in this world for nearly ten years, and has been obsessed with fitting the character line. His whole heart is broken by the plot. He has never had any leisure time to go to the Lantern Festival in Xijing.
It was hard for him to imagine that once the ancient capital could dress up like this, the sky was filled with fireworks, and dragon dances and pearls passed through several long streets.
The restaurant was full of fragrance, and the girls put on peach blossom makeup, with crooked heads and crescent eyebrows, smiling sweetly.
Half of the city's lanterns light up the prosperity of this ancient capital.
Beautiful.
Chu Xie is very afraid of death now, even though he is going to the Lantern Festival, he still wears a mask for fear that someone will come to assassinate him.
"The imperial city of Great Wei is really beautiful."
Xu Chunmu beside him spoke his mind.
However, Chu Xie had to pretend to be commonplace and replied: "It is different from the northern border."
"But the mountains and rivers in the north are vast, and the ice fields are thousands of miles away. It also has its own beauty." Xu Chunmu took off a white crane lantern and handed it to Chu Xie, "The world is full of different forms, and one life is only a hundred years. After all, why not live. "
Again.
If Xu Chunmu was born in modern times, he must be a philosopher.
Chu Xie looked at the exquisite lantern in his hand and nodded, slightly raising the corners of his mouth.
Against the backdrop of the fire, the smile in his eyes was so light.
Xu Chunmu leaned close to his ear, almost hugging him halfway, with a burning lamp between them: "Axie, put it down."
There was a deep sadness in that voice.
"Don't... go and kill Chen Lianzhou."
Chu Xie's eyes widened suddenly, and the light in his hand fell to the ground, completely burning a lifelike paper-tied white crane.
"You will die."
The author has something to say: Xu Chunmu: Yes, I was born again.
There is another update, at noon.
In a few days, it will be the Qiqiao Festival, so the markets in this area are very lively these few days.
Decorate with lanterns and festoons, with idle flowers and green branches.
But there seemed to be officials and government soldiers dispersing the crowd, Xu Chunmu took a closer look, and at the end of the street was the sedan chair of the Duke of Yue's mansion.
But the Duke of Yue's mansion is clearly in the southeast, so how could he go in this direction.
Xu Chunmu pondered for a moment, then rode his horse forward a few steps.
But I saw a carriage ahead blocking the way, surrounded by many people.Xu Chunmu was even more suspicious, so he whipped the whip again and again, and the reins tightened suddenly. The horse, which had been on the battlefield with many bones, had a good understanding with him. It first stepped on the wall on one side to borrow strength, and then stepped on the roof of the gorgeous carriage. Then cross the crowd of onlookers and land steadily.
Crackling, the horseshoe gradually stopped.
The wind lifted the palanquin of Yue State to push the corner of the pearl curtain, and the sound of pearls and jade colliding was crisp and pleasing to the ears.
A white dress appeared in the sedan chair.
It's Chuxie.
His face changed slightly.
Xu Chunmu rode his horse through the crowd neatly, but the government soldiers couldn't stop him. Zhao Xuan was horrified to see the curtain of his carriage was thrown open, and he was still covered, and asked, "You, you..."
Xu Chunmu didn't answer, he just probed the man in Zhao Xuan's arms, his breath was weak, and his whole body was full of thick bloody smell.His back and thighs were all stained red with blood.
He lost so much blood that his hands and feet were cold.
With his eyes fixed, he untied the thick cloak on his body and wrapped him around him, avoiding the wound, hugged him horizontally and helped him onto the horse's back, laying him down in front of him, leaving only one sentence after he stabilized himself: " If that doesn't work, I'll send him off."
Xiao Shizi immediately asked someone to stop him, "Hey, you...you!" He hurriedly urged the outsiders to ride their horses to follow, but Xu Chunmu rode Juechen, and he and his horse had already walked half a mile.
The curtain of the carriage parked not far from the corner was lifted by a withered hand. It turned out that this was the sedan chair of Duke Rong's family. At this moment, Duke Chen Lianzhou looked at the receding figure and asked his grandson with a frown: " That's from the Xu family."
"Ah?" When Chen Xiaoshi stretched out his head to look, he was gone, "I, I don't quite recognize..."
"Xu Yi is so lucky, this grandson has the demeanor of his past."
The son of the Chen family sat down in embarrassment, and echoed: "Grandpa's words are reasonable."
Chen Lianzhou thought to himself, how could the Xu family save Chuxie.Could it be that the Xu family is not on the same page with King Ningyuan at all.
Now that Chu Xie is on the line, it's clear that he wants to support Jiang Yanchi, a yellow-haired kid!
This is not good.
Chen Lianzhou thought about it carefully, and felt more and more bad.Now Xu Changling has gained half of the military power of the imperial army, which is the guard at the feet of the emperor, which is worth thousands of troops outside.
In addition, Xu Chunmu, who holds 30 military power, entered Beijing at this time and rescued Chu Xie, so he took control of the three provinces and six ministries.
Could it be that the Xu family wanted to deal with the Rongguo government.
Chen Lianzhou's eyes were filled with dark light.
"Go, kill Xu Chunmu."
Xu Chunmu rode his horse and passed two streets when he immediately noticed a figure lurking on the side of the bricks and tiles. He held the iron bow behind him and hit it with his backhand. Tilting his head to avoid the flying knife.
Dare to do it.
As soon as I entered the imperial city, these people knew the news quickly.
He suddenly reached out and cut an arrow three inches from the back of Chu Xie's neck, then leaned back, hooked the rein of the horse with his right foot and pulled it. The horse was pulled by the rein and immediately turned right under the next excuse. Xu Chunmu took the long arrow in his hand Take the bow and lead the string to fly away.
With an arrow piercing through the heart, the assassin rolled and fell.
After crossing two narrow dark alleys, you can see the Chu Mansion head-on.
Xu Chunmu carried him down.
He was two inches taller than Chu Xie, and his cloak was extraordinarily wide, and when he wrapped him up and hugged him, a part of him hung down, making him seem to be buried in the cloth in his arms.
Years of fighting on the battlefield made him have an extremely keen sense of danger.
As soon as his feet hit the ground, there was a sound of breaking wind behind him.
Immediately bent his knees and squatted to dodge, then threw the man in his arms up slightly, pulled out the short blade at the waist, put it in the palm of his hand, turned the direction of the blade, and slit the man's throat with his backhand.
Blood spattered on his wrist, Xu Chunmu caught the falling person firmly, and bowed slightly to cushion his back so as not to hurt his back.
Don't wait to knock on the door, just walk in.
Seeing the secret guard of the Chu Mansion head on, he immediately said in a low voice, "This is Lord Chu."
The blade that was close at hand stopped.
"Go and call the doctor in the mansion."
After putting Chu Xie in place, he wiped off the blood on the knife, cut the thin fabrics on the man's body one by one, carefully peeled off the clothes that stuck to the flesh, and took out the medicine to stop the bleeding from his sleeve, but was caught Steward prevents.
"I brought this back from the battlefield. It's good to stop the bleeding."
It is probably because this person speaks too frankly, which makes people trust unconsciously.The steward hesitated for a moment, but still acquiesced that he should take the medicine.
When Dr. Zhu arrived, he immediately cut off a piece of thousand-year-old ginseng and hung it on his tongue, then he pricked the acupuncture point with silver needles to treat his wound.
After cleaning up for a while, I looked at the handsome young man beside me: "May I ask if you are..."
"My name is Xu, and my name is Chunmu."
"It turned out to be Lord Xu from the Northern Territory." Doctor Zhu bowed solemnly, "This time, thank you, Lord Xu, for your help..."
After some treatment, the man seemed to have finally breathed out the breath in his heart, but he hadn't woken up yet.Her lips moved, and the maid gave him a few sips of water immediately.
But the water couldn't be fed in, it just dripped from the corner of her mouth and wet the pillow, and the maid was so anxious that she cried.While putting down the bowl, he changed the pillow to a dry one for the man.
"what happened."
"Our lord...entered, entered Zhao Prison, His Royal Highness...brought, brought the person who personally brought the imperial guards to fetch him, and said that he assassinated the prince. It took only two or three days. How could it...become like this? ..." The maidservant Tao Li was crying sadly, the young girl Dou Kou was anxious, sobbing and choking when she spoke.
Assassinate Donggong.
Xu Chunmu seemed to have thought of something.
Immediately said in a deep voice: "Since he poisoned the East Palace, how did the crown prince escape?"
Doctor Zhu's complexion changed slightly, and he glanced secretly at Xu Chunmu.
Tao Li just stomped her feet and said: "What, it was all framed by outsiders. People from Zhao Prison and the Ministry of Punishments came to search for a whole day, but they found no evidence at all! It's all rumors! His Royal Highness doesn't know why, I want to believe those nonsense..."
Xu Chunmu stopped talking.
But I heard the report from the government soldiers, saying that the little prince is outside.As soon as Taoli heard that it was His Highness the Crown Prince again, she cried again in fright, and squatted on the edge of the bed wiping her tears: "It was our lord who helped this little prince to the throne back then. The prince will find trouble with us adults every few days, but... but Zensheng is good... woo woo..."
Doctor Zhu's face was not very good-looking, and he immediately ordered someone to report to the Duke of Yue.
Feeling inappropriate again, he called someone in a low voice to deliver another letter to Taifu's residence.
Xu Chunmu heard it with the tips of his ears, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
He also heard some movement outside, probably Jiang Yanchi had already broken in, but was blocked outside the dormitory and refused to come in.As soon as Xu Chunmu stepped out of the courtyard, he saw Xu Changling, who was tall and burly behind the prince.
Naturally, Xu Changling also saw him.
"Yo, why are you here." The elder brother raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Yanchi was also surprised when he saw Xu Chunmu, and then said, "Can you step aside, my young master? I have something to ask Chu Xie."
Xu Chunmu didn't move, just looked at the two of them, and said softly: "You are still awake, what Your Highness wants to ask, if it is convenient, why not tell me first, and I will ask for you as soon as possible when Master Chu wakes up."
"Hearing your tone, you still want to rest here?" Xu Changling sneered, "Why, you don't even like my mansion, do you, you have to live in someone else's house?"
Xu Chunmu glanced at the man, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Brother already has a wife, and it is Chunmu who is inconvenient to disturb."
Seeing his upright appearance, Xu Changling became angry, raised his nostrils and sneered again, "It's even more inappropriate for you to live in the Chu Mansion, if you have to say, wouldn't it be better to live in the East Palace?"
Jiang Yanchi seemed to have thought of something, and took a few steps towards Xu Chunmu, "Answer me truthfully, does the Xu family have a spy in the Chu residence?"
Xu Chunmu paused and shook his head.
"As far as I know, there hasn't been."
Jiang Yanchi's eyes darkened.
Xu Chunmu bowed again, and his courtesy was very thoughtful: "A person has only one breath left, and it's hard to say whether he can live through the night. Even if His Highness wants to ask, there will be nothing to ask. Why don't you go back first."
But Jiang Yan didn't leave.
Not only did he not leave, but he also summoned the steward of the Chu Mansion to tell everyone in the mansion to come over, from the steward of the account room to the servants who cleaned the house, passing by one by one.
The terrible thing was that he couldn't remember the figure and outline of that person at all.
Even the sound is muffled.
Can only return without success.
But Xu Chunmu noticed something strange, and asked, "Is Your Highness looking for someone?"
Jiang Yanchi was noncommittal.
"What kind of person is he from the Chu family?"
"do not know."
"What about the length, age, and appearance?"
"I don't know either."
Xu Chunmu was puzzled: "Then what does Your Highness want to do with that person?"
Jiang Yanchi shook his hands weakly, and only said vaguely: "He saved me."
Hearing this, Xu Chunmu winked, and immediately thought about the cause and effect, "Your Highness means that Chu Xie poisoned the East Palace, and someone saved you."
"Yes."
Xu Chunmu pondered for a moment, Jiang Yanchi thought that he had some thoughts and just wanted to ask a few more questions, when he heard him ask again: "Since I saved you, why don't you know what you look like?"
Jiang Yan refused to say any more, in fact, all thoughts were lost in his heart.
For so many days, there was no news at all. He would light the fireworks every night, but that person never appeared again.
Something must have happened to him.
Jiang Yanchi thought so many times in his heart, but he refused to really believe it.
Amu, you are right.I can overthrow Chu Xie, and I can enter the East Palace.You're so smart you can count everything.
But why so stupid.
You are obviously just an ordinary person with no status, so how could Chu Xie easily spare you if you risked your life to help me over and over again.
"City closed."
Jiang Yanchi let out a deep breath, and glanced at Xu Changling from the corner of his head: "The capital was closed for a month. Digging inch by inch, we must find him."
"But..." Seeing the prince's stubbornness, Xu Changling felt troubled, "Isn't it because he doesn't know what he looks like..."
"Very thin." Jiang Yanchi gestured with his hands, "The wrist is about this thick and thin, and the finger bones are evenly long. He has read books and plays the piano very well."
This is all nonsense.
This kind of feature is not a feature at all. If you grab a lot in the academy, they are all young masters who can read and play the piano.
But Xu Changling still couldn't say anything on the surface.
Jiang Yanchi was talking, as if he was suddenly awakened somewhere: "Go to the music workshop and ask, who can play those ancient, long-lost ancient tunes."
Xu Changling was even more confused, there were not many literate people in the music workshop, why did he go to the music workshop to find someone.
Xu Chunmu asked, "Which ancient music has that person played?"
"Xiaoya."
"Which chapter is it?"
Jiang Yanchi recalled it carefully for a while, then suddenly raised his eyes: "Kong Gu. It's Xiaoya's third chapter, Kong Gu."
Xiaoya empty valley.
Xu Chunmu was thoughtful, and suddenly lowered his head and raised it.
Calmly, he cast his peripheral vision to Chu Xie's bedroom behind him.
When the people from the Duke of Yue's mansion rushed over, Jiang Yanchi had already been sent out of the mansion by Xu Chunmu's kindness, and he had just left a few steps.Looking at his disappearing figure, Zhao Xuan couldn't help clasping his fists to salute the young master next to him: "This time, I really want to thank the young master..."
"My lord, thank me for what I did."
"Master Hou doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been at odds with Master Chu for a long time, and it has been even more so since the incident of the Jinhuan Gambling Shop more than half a year ago... Alas, if the Crown Prince really takes power in the future and rules the world, I'm afraid Chu The government will be destroyed."
Xu Chunmu looked at the afterglow of the setting sun with distant eyes.The crow-blue uniform contrasted with the blue walls and white tiles, and the figure blended with the twilight.
"Indeed……"
Doomsday.
The last ray of twilight faded from the horizon.
The Chu Mansion was brightly lit, and the lights were lit up, making it the brightest place in the entire Shang capital.
Xu Chunmu, like his own family, greeted the young prince of the Duke of Yue's mansion and went back to Chuxie's bedroom after dinner.
Taoli, who had been watching for more than a dozen hours without closing her eyes, was so sleepy that she lay on the edge of the bed, so the steward told her to go to the side hall to take a nap first.
Xu Chunmu took out Chu Xie's wrist from the warm quilt, put his thumb and middle finger together to estimate, and recalled the gesture His Royal Highness made just now, his eyes gradually deepened.
Is it difficult-
No, it's impossible.
***
That night.
pain.
In addition to pain, there is no other feeling.
Chu Xie finally had some consciousness, but he still didn't have the strength to open his eyes.
"Host, you are finally conscious..." the system cried for a while, "I have been using the pain relief buff for you all the time, how do you feel now?"
"Hmm..." Chu Xie didn't want to move a hair, "It still hurts."
"Of course, you were almost beaten to death...fortunately, lucky to be alive...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Don't cry, it's too noisy."
Chu Xie felt irritable in pain.
"Ding, Xu Chunmu's character fit is 80%. It's a new high, congratulations to the host!"
Chu Xie was stunned.
How many?
80%? !
"Ahhhhh...Host, host!" The system's voice sounded like an explosion in the head, "How on earth did you do it, the host is awesome! Woohoo host... Now the two characters fit at 60 % and above, the plot completion rate is 75%, as long as you add another five points, you can complete the task and be reborn directly from the death shield!"
But Chu Xie himself was also in a daze. Why did Xu Chunmu's character fit suddenly reach 80%. What happened while he was asleep?
It is the change that is completely irregular.There are still rules, but they are ignored by themselves.
etc.That's not the point.
It's still five points away, so it's enough to go through one more plot at most.
Chu Xie was refreshed.
"What's the next plot!"
"Host! The next plot is simple, it's 'Chen Lianzhou's death'. Just half a month later."
finally!
Can be reborn!
"It's just the host, you may not be able to get out of bed within half a month, you have to watch Chen Lianzhou die with your own eyes for this plot...or, we will miss this, recuperate, and wait for the next plot?"
Chu Xie's head hurts from the noise. This time, he lost a lot of blood and was seriously injured. His vision was still blurred after focusing for a long time.
"No, just go. I want to be reborn as soon as possible..."
The buzzing in his ears gradually dissipated, and he heard the quiet chirping of cicadas in the night.
There is also the sound of very slight footsteps moving close at hand.
Chu Xie was startled, his pupils dilated.He was trembling after smelling the fishy smell all over his body—could it be Jiang Yanchi, that bastard who thought that he was not killed, and came to assassinate again in the middle of the night!
As soon as he struggled with his head, a tearing pain came from his back, and he immediately heard a voice: "Don't move around." Noticing that his body was trembling, he added, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. "
The man checked the wound on his back, pulled the quilt up a little more, and then let out a sigh of relief: "Lord Chu is awake."
Very strange voice, cool and gentle.
"You are..." Chu Xie opened his mouth, only to realize that his throat seemed to have swallowed a handful of incense ash, and it was so hoarse and dry, "Who is..."
The voice of the system in the brain suddenly burst out. This time it did not scream, but reminded very heavily, "Host, yes, it is Xu Chunmu! The genuine Xu Chunmu!"
"I have long admired Master Chu's reputation. My surname is Xu, and my name is Chunmu. I am the grandson of Zhen Guohou Xu Yi."
The clear voice came to my ears again.
Chu Xie trembled in shock.
But he saw the man squatting down, probing his forehead with cold fingers, his movements were gentle and cautious.
"Wait a minute, wait a moment...something is wrong, host, what is wrong..."
Before Chu Xie could react, his eyes finally focused and he saw the face of the person in front of him clearly.
It was a clear and beautiful face, with delicate and elegant eyebrows and eyes.
Xu Chunmu didn't call the slaves, but stretched out his hands to support his shoulders. With slow and steady strength, Chu Xie was supported from prone to side lying, but the wound was not affected.The man went out and brought a bowl of thick black Chinese medicine to his lips.
Chu Xie's mouth was full of dullness, and he didn't feel bitter after drinking a bowl.
Xu Chunmu frowned slightly when he saw that he seemed to be used to taking medicine.
Push a jujube wrapped in icing sugar into Chu Xie's mouth.
He felt weird, so he couldn't help but glance at Xu Chunmu.
"This way it won't be bitter. When I was a child, I often fell off my horse. Every time I took medicine, my mother would give me a candied date." Xu Chunmu explained quietly.
This, this, this.
What the hell is going on.How could Xu Chunmu appear here?
Chu Xie's professionalism is extremely high. Although he didn't understand what the situation was, he continued to chat: "Xu Xiaohou has been valued by his family since he was a child, so he is naturally happy."
Xu Chunmu was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything further.
Put the empty bowl on the table at one side, and then help Chu Xie to lie down.
"It's lucky that you didn't die in Zhao Prison this time. Aren't you even afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Xu Chunmu looked away from Chu Xie's face, and said without any emotion: "Aren't you afraid of yourself, you won't die well?"
I'm afraid.
Scared to death!
In his previous life, Chu Xie was also afraid of pain when he was a child. Even with 95% of the pain relief buff turned on, the stick death still hurts so much.Now when he thinks about Jiang Yanchi's face, there is a psychological shadow.
Chu Xie's soul nodded like a crazy chick pecking rice: I also think Chu Xie has been working towards death, and the hero really sees the same thing.
Now Jiang Yanchi has entered the East Palace, and Chu Xie and Chu Xie are in court.
But Chu Xie knew that in less than a year, Jiang Yanchi would ascend the throne and kill himself completely.
He will only get more and more sad in the days that follow.You say you are not afraid, is that possible!
The most frustrating thing is that Jiang Yanchi's behavior cannot be predicted at all!The protagonist's line has been so collapsed that his own mother doesn't even recognize him, but he still has to play the supporting role line with dignity, and it's still the supporting role line of the two of them!
Thinking about it makes me feel too difficult.
The mental activity was intense, but the surface was still calm, and he threw out a sentence: "What do you mean by Xiao Houye's words?"
Xu Chunmu knew that he always liked to drink tea, so he got up and lit a small fire, and first boiled the tea.
"Do you know my fine print?"
"It's the word Yu'an."
Xu Chunmu paused for a moment while holding the teapot, and then poured out the first pot of tea, "Well. My grandfather named me Yu'an, which means partial security. He said he didn't expect me to do anything big, It's good to be happy for a lifetime and be casual."
Chu Xie was hesitant to speak when he heard the words with a very pedantic temperament.
"...You still have a lot to do."
30 soldiers and horses.He has made great military achievements at a young age, but he is not as young and promising as a textbook.
"I mean. People sometimes have too much obsession, indulge in it, and easily go astray... Or, ruin their lives for nothing."
"..."
There is something in the words.
Chu Xie turned on the system, and took another look at Xu Chunmu's character design—it's obvious that he is a cold and taciturn person, but why is there a lot of talk in front of him.
Even if it's too much, it's very philosophical.
Chu Xie couldn't understand philosophy at all, and he didn't know how to answer it.
The only sound in the room was the sound of boiling tea, gurgling.
This silence lasted for too long, Chu Xie was thinking about something to say, and changed the subject, when he turned his head and bumped into a pair of dark brown eyes.
When the eyes met, it was Xu Chunmu who spoke first: "In a few days it will be the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, let me take you out to relax."
"No need, I..." I'm so hurt that I may not even be able to get out of bed, so I don't have the mood to go out.
Chu Xie paused, "I don't like these things."
"We need to get in touch with the fireworks of the world. It's very interesting, the Qiqiao Festival...there will be a lantern show, it will be very beautiful."
Chu Xie finally heard something.
He said to the system: "This Xu Chunmu..."
"Looks like the male version of Duan Se."
"..."
"Is it this kind of innocent and kind-hearted kid who has never seen anything in the world, when he came to the capital for the first time, he always liked to watch the lantern festival?"
It turns out.
It is not Xu Chunmu who has never seen anything in the world, but Chu Xie Benxie.
Chu Xie has been in this world for nearly ten years, and has been obsessed with fitting the character line. His whole heart is broken by the plot. He has never had any leisure time to go to the Lantern Festival in Xijing.
It was hard for him to imagine that once the ancient capital could dress up like this, the sky was filled with fireworks, and dragon dances and pearls passed through several long streets.
The restaurant was full of fragrance, and the girls put on peach blossom makeup, with crooked heads and crescent eyebrows, smiling sweetly.
Half of the city's lanterns light up the prosperity of this ancient capital.
Beautiful.
Chu Xie is very afraid of death now, even though he is going to the Lantern Festival, he still wears a mask for fear that someone will come to assassinate him.
"The imperial city of Great Wei is really beautiful."
Xu Chunmu beside him spoke his mind.
However, Chu Xie had to pretend to be commonplace and replied: "It is different from the northern border."
"But the mountains and rivers in the north are vast, and the ice fields are thousands of miles away. It also has its own beauty." Xu Chunmu took off a white crane lantern and handed it to Chu Xie, "The world is full of different forms, and one life is only a hundred years. After all, why not live. "
Again.
If Xu Chunmu was born in modern times, he must be a philosopher.
Chu Xie looked at the exquisite lantern in his hand and nodded, slightly raising the corners of his mouth.
Against the backdrop of the fire, the smile in his eyes was so light.
Xu Chunmu leaned close to his ear, almost hugging him halfway, with a burning lamp between them: "Axie, put it down."
There was a deep sadness in that voice.
"Don't... go and kill Chen Lianzhou."
Chu Xie's eyes widened suddenly, and the light in his hand fell to the ground, completely burning a lifelike paper-tied white crane.
"You will die."
The author has something to say: Xu Chunmu: Yes, I was born again.
There is another update, at noon.
