After the rebirth, I became the darling of the tyrant

After Gu Chen came out of the palace, he went back to Gu's mansion to see his mother. He told his mother that he would leave Beijing for ten days to find out where Zhao Zhongqi was.

Then he changed into a set of regular clothes and turned left to the east courtyard where Zhao Boyong lived.When he passed by, Zhao Boyong was smoking a pipe, reclining on a huanghuali wood armchair basking in the sun, holding a book in one hand, flipping through it over and over again.Seeing him coming, Zhao Boyong smiled and put away the book: "Yo, the young master is here."

Gu Chen stood still in front of him, and saluted respectfully according to his habit from childhood to adulthood: "Doctor Zhao——"

"Ah, well done, why don't you listen after I've said it several times?" Zhao Boyong waved his hand, "Don't learn from your father, you'll learn to be pedantic and old-fashioned."

Gu Chen also laughed, pulled another chair and sat down: "How is Doctor Zhao feeling better today?"

"Whatever is good or bad is an old problem." Zhao Boyong said vaguely with a pipe in his mouth, while stretching his legs, "Fortunately, the sun is shining today, and my sick leg can get some light." He finished Smiling at Gu Chen: "Why, where is it broken and damaged, you want to come to me?"

Gu Chen's face became hot: "...I am no longer a child."

"Yes, our little son has grown up."

"I came to see you today for another matter." Gu Chen said, "I'm going to Tongshan to find your brother."

Zhao Boyong paused: "Your Majesty's order?"

"...That's right."

Although he fought for it, at least Xiao Tingshen agreed.

Zhao Boyong nodded: "It seems that it is for the imperial court."

"Yes."

The old doctor squinted his eyes with a pipe in his mouth, and didn't speak for a long time.He is more than 50 years old this year, but he is hale and hearty, and his face is also very young. He looks as if he is only in his forties.However, when he was meditating, he could already faintly see the fine lines between his brows, carving a faint imprint on his face.

After a while, he smiled: "Your Majesty is quite good at choosing people."

Gu Chen was a little confused: "Why...?"

"You don't know, that younger brother of mine is rather stubborn." Zhao Boyong said, "When he heard that he was from the imperial court, he would definitely be shut down. Even if it was me, how many letters have I written to him asking him to return to Shenjing for so many years? Come on, did you see that he listened? You go, he still has to look at your father's face, and he owes his life."

When Zhao Boyong was seriously injured on the battlefield, it was Gu Chen's father who saved him.Gu Chen knew what he was referring to, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "This is all old, why do you still remember it?"

"Not only I remember it, but Aqi also remembers it." Zhao Boyong puffed his pipe, "I'll show you the letter from him half a month ago."

He said that he did not know where to take out a stack of letters, took out the top one and handed it to Gu Chen.Gu Chen glanced at it. This letter was very ordinary. It just mentioned that Zhao Zhongqi was preparing a medicine recently, and he was missing a flavor of snow lotus, which was only produced in Yanbei. They are all out of stock, and he is very embarrassed now.

Then he wrote: I heard that General Gu is still guarding Yanbei, I am really worried, I don't know how General Gu is.Enclosed with this letter is a prescription I have recently formulated, which is very effective in treating sword wounds, and I ask General Gu for his well-being.

After reading the letter, Gu Chen said with a smile: "I have to thank him face to face when I see him, and I still miss my father."

"He's worried about your father." Zhao Boyong took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "Actually, I'm more worried about him. My younger brother has a straight temper, admits death, and is easy to get into a dead end in everything, otherwise he wouldn't have been stuck in the deep mountains and old forests for so many years. Here, I guess he still hasn't let go of that incident."

Although Gu Chen was wondering what it was, he wisely didn't ask any further questions.Only to hear Zhao Boyong say again: "This brat, when I see him this time, I must beat him up."

Gu Chen couldn't help laughing: "You have to be gentle, Your Majesty wants to see him."

Zhao Boyong laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I won't slap you in the face."

After bidding farewell to Zhao Boyong, Gu Chen went to his own warehouse - he remembered that this time he brought two snow lotus plants back from Yanbei, and he found them in the warehouse. After digging them out, he packed them in a box and stuffed them into his luggage.

Coming out of the mansion, Gu Chen rode his horse all the way to the north gate of Shenjing. Just as he was about to leave the city, he was stopped by a tall man by the gate: "Lord Gu."

Gu Chen reined in his horse and turned around, and saw that the other party was wearing an indigo-colored robe, two eyebrows, a face with Chinese characters, and a long sword at his waist.

"Jiang Chong, the deputy commander of Long Xiangwei, the lower official, has met Mr. Gu." The man bowed to the end, "I am waiting here by His Majesty's order, and I will accompany Mr. Gu on the road together."

...Long Xiangwei...the deputy commander...?

Gu Chen was surprised.He knew this face - in the previous life, this person died to save him.

That was Gu Chen's last New Year in Beijing.After the palace banquet, he and his father were ordered by Xiao Tingshen to leave Beijing immediately and return to Yanbei, and they were not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict.

This is exile in disguise.

After Gu Chen and his father returned to Yanbei, they happened to catch a blizzard, and the Donghu people took advantage of the snow to attack. The battle was extremely difficult, and Gu Chen was injured in many places and almost died.However, at the critical moment, a soldier rushed over and blocked the sword stabbing him with his body, saving his life.

After the battle, Gu Chen found the soldier among the corpses all over the floor.He was dead, the sword dropped aside.He has two horoscope eyebrows, a Chinese character face, and looks very simple and honest.

Gu Chen picked up his sword and closed his eyes for him.At that time, he only knew that this was a recruit who had just joined the army, but he didn't know his name.

Until this life, he met this person again.He stood in front of him and said that his name was Jiang Chong and he was the deputy commander of Long Xiangwei.

Long Xiangwei is Xiao Tingshen's personal guard, and has won Xiao Tingshen's trust...How could a deputy commander of Long Xiangwei appear on the battlefield of Yanbei in his previous life as a soldier?

Relegated, or...

Xiao Tingshen sent here?

Due to excessive shock, Gu Chen stared at him for a long time without speaking.Jiang Chongxu was puzzled, and scratched his head involuntarily: "Why is your lord looking at the lower official like this? Is there something on the lower official's face?"

"No, no." Gu Chen turned his head, "...you are fine."

He lowered his head and thought for a while, and the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily.Jiang Chong was puzzled: "My lord?"

"It's okay." Gu Chen raised his head with a smile, covering his face with one hand, "The sun is good today." He pulled the rein while saying that: "Let's go, let's go to Tongshan."

The waterway from Shenjing to Tongshan is relatively short, and the journey is only four days.Gu Chen and Jiang Chong hired a small boat and docked at the foot of Tongshan Mountain.

Both of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, and only carried a sword at their waists. They behaved very low-key, and did not cause any trouble along the way.After arriving in Tongshan, Gu Chen found a tea stall at the foot of the mountain, and asked the shopkeeper if there was a doctor named Zhao Zhongqi nearby.

"Yes, yes!" the shopkeeper said hastily, "You mean Dr. Zhao! He is very famous in our shop. Do you seek medical treatment from him? Go up from here, turn right at the intersection in front, and follow that On the way to the mountain, you can see Dr. Zhao's residence."

He was very enthusiastic and pointed out the way for the two of them.Gu Chen put down the tea money and thanked him, then turned to see Jiang Chongzheng holding the teapot directly to the spout and drinking tea.He didn't rush, just sat quietly and watched him drink.

Xu Shi noticed Gu Chen's gaze, and Jiang Chong put down the teapot embarrassedly: "I made my lord laugh."

"It's okay." Gu Chen smiled slightly, "We'll leave after you finish drinking."

Jiang Chong scratched his head embarrassingly: "I think adults drink tea in small cups, which is really elegant, but unfortunately I am a rough person... I can't taste the fragrance, I just think it is bitter, and it can only be used to quench my thirst. "

"You don't like tea?" Gu Chen smiled gently, "Then we won't drink tea next time."

Jiang Chong was even more embarrassed: "My lord is really a good man."

Gu Chen just smiled and didn't speak.After Jiang Chong finished drinking his tea, Gu Chen picked up his sword and stood up.

"Let's go."

The road was easy to find, and they climbed halfway up the mountain in no time.Gu Chen looked up, and vaguely saw the shape of a small house in the forest, which should be Zhao Zhongqi's residence.

He waved to Jiang Chong: "You stay here, I will go by myself."

"How can this be done!?" Jiang Chong immediately widened his eyes, and said in a rough voice, "Your Majesty told me that I should not leave an inch to protect the safety of my lord, and I can't leave half a step away! I must go with my lord, otherwise I will return to Beijing After that, how do I report to His Majesty?"

"I'm just going to see a doctor who has no power to restrain a chicken, what danger can I have..."

"That's not OK!"

"If you don't tell me, I won't sue you." Gu Chen patted him on the shoulder, "Stay here, by the way, don't say my surname is Gu for a while."

Although it was true that his father had saved Zhao Boyong's life, it was only a matter of the past.Gu Chen is unwilling to repay favors, and secondly, he does not want to make things difficult for others, so concealing his identity is the best choice.

He took his luggage and walked up, leaving Jiang Chong, who was about to cry but without tears, on the spot.The burly man stared blankly at Gu Chen disappearing from sight, then suddenly took two steps forward, then stopped again.

No... His Majesty said that it is not okay to make Mr. Gu angry.If he insisted on following, Mr. Gu would definitely be angry.But what did His Majesty say at the time?By the way, never leave an inch, half a step away costs thirty court sticks.

... This can be hundreds of steps! !

Gu Chen had no idea what kind of inner struggle Jiang Chong had gone through.He walked for a long time before reaching the door of the hut. From a distance, he saw a little medicine boy squatting outside the door, with a small stove in front of him, decocting medicine.Maybe it was because the sound of his footsteps startled him, the little drug boy raised his head, his eyes widened: "Who are you?"

"I want to find Dr. Zhao."

"What do you want Master to do?" The little drug boy tilted his head, "Do you want to see a doctor?"

"No." Gu Chen smiled gently at him, "I want to ask him to treat another person."

The little drug boy nodded: "You wait, I'll go and ask Master to come out."

"it is good."

The child turned around and ran in bouncingly, shouting as he ran, "Master, Master wants to see you! He said he is here to treat you!"

The door creaked open, and a middle-aged man came out.He looks more than 50 years old, with piercing eyes, and if you observe carefully, you will find that he and Zhao Boyong do have some similarities.

He looked Gu Chen up and down, bowed slightly and said, "I am Zhao Zhongqi. Your Excellency is very handsome, may I ask where you are from?"

Gu Chen also returned the gift: "This junior is from Shenjing. There is a patient suffering from serious leg problems. I hope to ask Dr. Zhao for help."

"Shen Jing?" Zhao Zhongqi was taken aback, and an imperceptible disgust flashed across his face.He never liked the imperial court, nor did he like Shenjing, a place where fish and dragons mixed together, and he didn't like Xiao Tingshen even more.The handsome young man in front of him said that he came from Shenjing, which brought back some unpleasant memories for him.

So he thought for a while and said, "Shenjing is a capital city with many famous doctors. I'm just a doctor in the mountains. Wouldn't it be better to go to Shenjing to get an axe? Thanks to Your Excellency's love, I'm really ashamed. Your Excellency should find another expert."

After finishing speaking, he told the little drug boy: "Zhuli, it's a good luck to send this young master down the mountain."
