"What is the past life!"

Chu Xie yelled, "I don't want to hear you talking about these things now, let's find a place to treat your wound first."

Xu Chunmu sighed, "I knew you wouldn't believe me..."

Looking around, they found that the water flow here was slow, and they were stepping on a soft river bank grass, which was remote but quiet.

Anyway, he got rid of the dark guard.

He supported Xu Chunmu, and the two of them first found a place under a rock, but unfortunately the fire pockets in their arms were soaked.You can only wring out the water on your body first.

Chu Xie was very adaptable. When he came back from picking up a few vines for firewood, he tied a small basket to pick some wound medicine and fruits for Xu Chunmu.

It was getting dark, and when Chu Xie rushed back, he didn't know what method Xu Chunmu had used to light the fire, and he took off his shirt to bake. Seeing Chu Xie coming over, he put on the half-baked clothes.

"Don't wear it." Chu Xie stopped immediately, "It's okay, I don't mind, they are all men anyway. These clothes are wet, dry them before wearing them."

Xu Chunmu nodded, "You take off your coat too, I'll dry it for you."

Chu Xie chewed up the medicine, applied it on Xu Chunmu's wound, tore his lower garment and tied it into a rope, and wrapped it around Xu Chunmu's.

Then he took off only a pair of trousers, sat on the side to dry his clothes, Xu Chunmu glanced behind him, "Your injury healed very quickly."

"Well, after half a month of being raised in the East Palace, it's already healed..." Halfway through the words, he suddenly choked up.

Jiang Yanchi!

He only cared about Xu Chunmu on the other end, so why did he forget about Jiang Yanchi.

What happened to Puyang County? Has the news reached Shangjing?

Seeing that his complexion was not good, Xu Chunmu asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Are you still in Puyang County? How far have we drifted along the river..." Chu Xie looked at the stars in the sky and could not find the Big Dipper, "Which direction are we going..."

"north."

Xu Chunmu only glanced at the stars in the sky and said, "This river goes north. We should not be in Puyang County now."

It's getting farther and farther away from Shangjing.

"No, we have to go back to the capital." Chu Xie pulled Xu Chunmu up, "His Royal Highness is in danger, we..."

"Go back to the capital?" Xu Chunmu shook his head and denied, "The most dangerous thing now is the capital. And we don't have any horses now. Don't talk about going back to the capital, you just want to find a small village nearby to buy a cow. I'm afraid I have to walk for two days."

"Walk along the river, and you will definitely find the village." Chu Xie thought about it, but decided to hurry, "No matter what, I have to try my best, and I'm lucky, it shouldn't take two days..."

"Okay, then let's go."

Xu Chunmu raised a torch and followed Chu Xie to show him the way, "See how lucky you are."

After walking for two or three hours, my feet felt a little sore.Xu Chunmu handed the torch to Chu Xie, "The gravel road by the river is difficult to walk, I will carry you on my back."

"No need, you still have injuries." Chu Xie sternly refused, "I can go."

Xu Chunmu smiled softly, looked at him one more time, and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, walk slowly, and be careful not to step on the water snake."

Water, water snakes.

Chu Xie stopped, and hesitated to retort, "It's already deep in autumn, and I can't wake up even if I step on it."

"Well, if you step on me, I won't let it bite you, just go."

It was almost dawn, and finally heard a dog barking in the distance. Chu Xie was overjoyed and pointed in the direction of the sound: "There is a dog! There must be someone there!"

Xu Chunmu smiled, "Well, you are indeed very lucky."

After walking for a while, I really saw a small village with about a dozen families falling down the mountain.Several households had already woken up early with the lights on. Seeing Xu Chunmu and Chu Xie's distressed appearance, they brought them a bowl of hot soup to drink.He was very considerate, and even found two clean clothes at home for them to change into.

"Ma'am, is this Puyang County?"

"Puyang? It's tens of miles away. We belong to Huaiqi County, and a little further northwest is the place where the barbarians fought."

"Are you from Puyang County?" The aunt poured the boiled water into a wooden basin to wash their faces, "You went wrong, people are going south now, how can anyone go northwest, who knows what the battle is about The time will come, and the young people in the village have already left, leaving us who can't walk..."

Huaisaki County.

No matter what, I won't call here.

After both of them wiped their cheeks, hands and feet clean, and the sun was about to rise, the aunt tidied up the bed: "My son is about the same age as you, alas, if you can go, let's go and rest here with the aunt. Have a good sleep..." He glanced at the two of them again, squinting his eyes for a while.

"Hey, the two gentlemen are so handsome, they don't look like my son at all."

As if making some guesses, he sized up Chu Xie and Xu Chunmu, and asked, "Are you two brothers?"

"No." Xu Chunmu replied, "Yes... yes..."

But I didn't have the nerve to say it.

Unexpectedly, the aunt actually realized it, "So that's how it is, it's also very good, there is a husband and wife look, it's a good match."

Like, like a ghost.

Chu Xie was extremely embarrassed, and played the side drums, "It's not very good, how can this man like men, auntie, don't you think so?"

"Hey, the young man is narrow-minded." The aunt gave him another night's soup, thinking he was shy, and persuaded him a few words, "As long as the hearts are together, then it is a good relationship, regardless of gender, age or age. In this world Ah, it's very messy, and it's not easy to find a confidant."

"In my opinion, you are both good-looking and good-natured, which is very suitable."

Xu Chunmu smiled and said, "My aunt is right. I don't know if there is a medical clinic in the village. I want to find a doctor."

"Oh, go another ten miles to the northwest, there is a town, you can go there to find a doctor."

The aunt pointed the way and said, "I'm going to sell things in the town, I'll take you there."

Chu Xie and Xu Chunmu looked at each other, "Then thank you, auntie."

***

Shangjing.

As soon as Jiang Yanchi returned to the city, he went to Su Taifu's mansion, and asked for the secret volume of the former dynasty controlled by Su Ming'an, which contained some historical records about the Yong'an Rebellion.

This was the first time he asked Su Ming'an for a request, and the other party naturally agreed.

But when I handed over the secret scroll, I asked: "Your Highness, don't be fooled by Chu Xie's miserable life experience. Chu Xie was raised by me, and I know it best. He is cunning and cunning, and his nature is fierce. Your Highness wants to protect him. Be careful..."

"I have my own discretion."

Jiang Yanchi went back to the East Palace with the secret volume without sleep, and looked through it overnight.

The records here are much more detailed than those in the "National History".There are even some who criticized the emperor, so they were banned and burned that year.

Su Ming'an likes to keep these banned books, fearing that in the past, Chu Xie may have read them less often.

Wing On for 13 years.Defeated in the Battle of Nagano.Mrs. Shen, Princess Changping, set fire to the attic, intending to burn her two young children and servants to death in the fire by the lake.

That year, Chu Xie was only five years old.

He didn't know how the child, who was only five years old at the time, survived.

When he is cruel, he regards accepting fate as nothing, and is decisive in killing without mercy.

I washed it over and over again at night, but I still couldn't get rid of the blood on my hands.

'Sometimes, it seems that as long as one person is alive, there is still hope in this world. '

What he said in the carriage once again echoed in Jiang Yanchi's ears.

The thick and heavy letters were rolled up inch by inch, as if to dust off those dusty painful pasts again.

So he is afraid of blood.

So he is afraid of closed rooms.

He had seen massacres when he was a child, and he was almost trapped in a building and burned to death.

For so many years, the despair that trapped Chu Xie was a lonely city from which he could not escape.No one can open a door for him.

Because he was the only one who survived.

The door was knocked in the middle of the night, Jiang Yanchi saw the figures outside the East Palace panicking, hid the letter in his hand under the table, opened the door and asked, "What's wrong."

"Your Highness! There is a secret letter from Puyang County, something has happened!"

Jiang Yanchi was shocked.

Chu Xie is in Puyang County.

"What happened?!"

"The entourage of the Prince of Yubei escaped and rushed to Shangjing City overnight. The news is not very clear... It seems that the old master Xu from the northern border went to Puyang County in person to... want to..."

"What do you want?!"

"I want to keep the eldest son Jiang Silan as the crown prince!"

Jiang Silan was Xu Chunmu's friend.Could it be that they had colluded with the Xu family for a long time?The King of Yubei, who was already a collateral lineage, was different from the direct lineage, Jiang Jingyan, who did not come from the lineage of Emperor Xuanhe at all, and even those who were not justified wanted to pry the throne.

The King of Yubei still has the guts, but he underestimated this mediocre person!

Hold on.

The prince shook his finger, and a fingernail mark was instantly drawn on the door frame. After he pondered for a while, his face suddenly turned pale: "Chu...Chu..."

His chest heaved violently, "Where's Chu Xie? What did Xu Yi do to Chu Xie?!"

"Is Master Chu in Puyang County? There seems to be no news..."

"Call that personal guard to come in, and I'll ask myself!"

Jiang Yanchi saw the man being pushed in, and immediately smashed the paperweight in his hand to the ground: "Little uncle is so courageous, he dared to conspire against Mrs. Xu! Tell me, where is Chu Xie?!"

"Your Highness, our county king has always been timid. How dare we rebel. It was the idea of ​​Lord Xu. It has nothing to do with our county king. Our county king even sent someone to come to the capital to show that he has no intention of rebelling. , villain..."

"I'm asking where is Chu Xie?!"

Jiang Yanchi kicked him on the shoulder, drew out the side sword at his waist and pressed it against his shoulder, "Say another nonsense and take off your arm!"

"Xu... Master Xu said he would kill Chu's palm and break your arm... But, Chu's palm didn't enter the city, really didn't enter the city, he seemed to escape, but Xu's soldiers chased him Yes, I don't know, the villain is in a hurry to report, the villain..."

He looked at the sharp edge of the cold light, and his words were a little unclear. He only saw that the prince's face was suddenly gloomy, and he was afraid that he would cut him down immediately, and then, as if to listen to his words, he pressed the fire and died. hands on.

At the end, I asked again, "Did he enter the city?!"

"Little man, I don't know! When the villain left, he didn't enter the city. As for whether he was caught, the villain doesn't know..."

Not sure.

Jiang Yanchi's eyes were cruel, and he cut off his arm with a knife in his hand: "It's just boneless stuff! Prepare your horse!"

Blood splattered on the main hall, and there was no intention to keep it if it killed the sword.Frightened, Xiao Xizi arranged for the wailing man to be dragged to be treated by the imperial doctor.

The faces of all the servants in the Eastern Palace were pale, and they dared not show their breath.
