Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

The two spots of bright red blood on the memorial on the case had already dried up. Xiao Jue should have written the memorial with injuries. His handwriting was sharp and his strokes were like hooks and swords.

Xu Guanchen pursed his lips and said, "That's how he is. This approach is indeed a bit inappropriate."

Xiao Zhi looked at the words on the notebook and felt a headache for no reason.

Xu Guanchen saw that his complexion was not good, so he patted the back of his hand: "Your Xiao family is like this, they are all a little crazy."

He got up: "I'll go to Zhong Mansion and Duan Wang Mansion. You have to discuss this deal with a few veteran officials in the court."

Xiao Zhi raised his hand and closed the memorial: "Let Chengde and Feiyang accompany you, come back early."

"I know." Xu Guanchen stood still and made a bow, "Actually, Xiao Jue's method may be foolproof. That original strategy may be just like that."

He walked out, but suddenly remembered something, ran back to Xiao Zhi, and said: "The gold plate I found in the alchemy book last time, I thought about it carefully, and the only place related to Dingguo's mansion is Jinling." And Yanbei. I want to draw a map of the cast on it for Zhong Yao to see, he knows Yanbei very well, maybe he can tell what place is drawn on it. Is that possible?"

Xiao Zhi said: "Originally it's your thing, you decide."

"The matter is of great importance." Xu Guanchen stood in front of him, with the desk between them, his hands resting on the desk, and said solemnly, "If the late emperor really raised a secret army in Yanbei, before he had time to tell The others died. Now I am going to investigate this matter again, and I am suspected of rebellion."

"You can do whatever you want."

"Okay." Xu Guanchen moved his hand on the case forward, and he said seriously, "Xiao Yuzhi, thank you."

Xiao Zhi wasn't used to him like this, so he kept his usual tone: "Just do what you want, I will do my best for Xiling's affairs."

"I understand." Xu Guanchen stretched out his hand and poked his finger, "I just hope that I don't have to fight in the future. If I have to fight, it's okay. I'm not afraid, and I'll be with you."

Xu Guanchen clasped his hand gropingly, with one hand still propped on the desk, biting his lips in embarrassment, leaning over and touching the corner of his lips.

As soon as Xiao Zhi raised his eyes, he stretched out his hand and pressed the back of his neck, preventing him from going away.

The possessive desire in his eyes was so strong that Xu Guanchen leaned back in fright: "Wait... I'll pay back later..."

The bitter fruit of my own teasing, even if the corners of my lips are broken, I have to swallow it.

After a while, Xu Guanchen pushed him away, gently pressed the small cut on the corner of his lips, gasped in pain, and complained, "Who told you to bite?"

After he said such a sentence, Xiao Zhi went crazy again, held his face and pecked at him.

"Okay, okay." Xu Guanchen pushed his hand away, "I really have to go, I'll be back at night."

He was not at ease, halfway there, he turned around and told Xiao Zhi: "Don't throw things again."

Suddenly, he felt that what he said seemed very bad. Xiao Zhi had a bad temper in the first place, and he didn't let him vent it, which seemed to be overbearing and arbitrary.

So Xu Guanchen added: "If you want to fall, just drop something small, and don't hit anyone."

Xu Guanchen first went back to Funing Hall, took out the gold plate hidden in the dark compartment in front of the couch, carefully traced a picture, and prepared to show it to Zhong Yao.

The dark compartment in front of the couch is empty, only some small things.

The small bright red pills and a bottle of indescribable ointment that he used to take when he was sick - because Xu Guanchen started to treat illnesses after he got married, so this thing was only used seriously once.

In addition, there is the gold plate and the golden order hidden in the alchemy book.

The golden order is just placed here, and I am not afraid that Xu Guanchen will take it away.

If it is really a team, if it falls into the hands of others, wouldn't it be a big trouble?

After Xu Guanchen drew the picture, he dried the ink on the paper, put it in his arms, and called for Eunuch Xiao Cheng and Fei Yang to leave the palace together.

He asked Xiao Zhi for his order, and Jinling city was free to enter and exit.

So when the carriage drove into Long Street this time, it was not asked to stop and check.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Zhong's Mansion, the General's Mansion was very quiet, no one was guarding the gate of the mansion, but the gate was closed tightly.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng knocked on the door, but no one answered, Feiyang stood still outside the fence, tiptoed, and turned inside.

The door opened quickly - Feiyang opened the door for them from the inside.

No one was seen in the outer courtyard, and no one was seen until the inner courtyard.

When Zhong Yao and Mrs. Zhong came to Jinling, they didn't bring many people with them. The two small cavalry teams usually lived in the Zhongfu, and the Zhongfu was stationed like a military camp.

There were just a few people who had nothing to worry about, so they were just disarmed and still lived in the General's Mansion.

When Xu Guanchen entered, they were in the yard - barbecue and wine.

He walked in very carefully, careful not to step on the drunk on the ground.

Zhong Yao and Mrs. Zhong were sitting cross-legged in the room, the doors and windows were wide open, and the mother and son were drinking and chatting.

Madam Zhong took a sip, sighed, and said to Zhong Yao: "Son, I'm sorry, after these two days of quietness, Mother realized that you shouldn't have been forcing you to find a wife a few days ago."

Zhong Yao was so moved that his eyes turned red, he hurriedly said, "Mother, it's okay, my son understands."

"But—" Mrs. Zhong looked at him deeply with probing eyes, "How on earth can you not even find a man? I have been thinking about it for the past few days but I can't figure it out. Could it be that my son is very Is there a problem? You are handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and strong, and your temper is not bad. What's going on?"

"mother……"

It's time to rescue Zhong Yao, so Xu Guanchen knocked on the door and poked his head out: "Auntie?"

"Ah Chen." Mrs. Zhong patted the seat beside her, "Come and sit."

Xu Guanchen sat down beside her and asked, "Why is the guard in front of the door missing? Could it be..." He glanced at Zhong Yao, and said in a low voice, "Did you kill him?"

Mrs. Zhong chuckled: "Where is it? They are the only ones who can go out here, so I sent them out to buy wine and meat."

Just at this time, two soldiers came back with wine and meat, she raised her hand and pointed: "Didn't you come back? Everyone is a soldier, and we don't run away. It's okay to eat and drink together."

Taoist priests don't drink alcohol, so Eunuch Xiaocheng watched in the kitchen for a while, and finally brought over a cup of tea made by Zhijielian.

Mrs. Zhong pushed the grilled meat skewers in front of him: "I still don't like meat? It doesn't matter if you eat a little, why don't you let them go out and buy some eggs for you?"

Xu Guanchen waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I was originally a famous Taoist priest. When I was young, my grandfather let me eat meat in order to make me grow taller. Recently, Xiao Yuzhi also let me eat meat in order to maintain my health."

Mrs. Zhong watched him eat some with a smile, and asked casually, "How is Yue Niang?"

"Yueniang is very nice, she even showed me the account book a few days ago."

"That's good."

Mrs. Zhong asked him a few more gossips, then suddenly patted Zhong Yao: "Go and close the doors and windows."

Zhong Yao asked: "Mom, are you cold?"

"You don't see that your brother has something to say?"

People in the yard were drinking and drinking happily, and no one paid attention to the situation in the room.

After closing the doors and windows, Xu Guanchen straightened his expression, knelt down solemnly, and kowtowed to the two of them.

Mrs. Zhong helped him up and patted his hands: "What are you doing? It's not your fault."

But Xu Guanchen said: "Auntie and cousin, they came here for my business."

"That Yuan Ce, the first one stabbed your uncle's toe, so angry that I wanted to stab him twice. That Chen Zhou... After all, it's because our Zhong House is not strict. Everything has a cause and an effect, and it is destiny. "

Xu Guanchen said: "They should be intentionally provoking and dismantling the Yanbei Army's defenses. Going back with the order of suspension pending investigation, and the order of urgently following the authority. Your Majesty has no intention of sending the Zhong family down, but just stabilize Xiling first."

"That's natural." Mrs. Zhong touched his temples with a smile, and said clearly, "With you here, how dare he touch the Zhong family?"

"Sealing the General's Mansion at this time is also..."

"I know what you are for." Mrs. Zhong said, "needless to say, we all understand in our hearts that you don't come today. Our family would rather not be a general, not be promoted to a noble, and hope not to No more wars."

Xu Guanchen put his hands on his knees and said, "Guanchen has one more thing to do, brother."

"Talk to him and see if he agrees." Mrs. Zhong got up and walked into the room, leaving him and Zhong Yao behind.

Xu Guanchen took out the traced map from his arms: "There is a map, please show it to me, cousin."

"Okay." Zhong Yao responded, took the picture he handed over, and looked at it upside down, "What kind of picture is this? Where is the bottom and where is the top?"

Xu Guanchen scratched his head: "I don't know either, this is traced from a piece of cast gold, it should be a map."

"This map...doesn't have a word?"

"No."

"What do you think?" Zhong Yao asked casually, "Where did it come from?"

"It was left by the Duke's Mansion before, and I only discovered it a few days ago."

"Is there a treasure buried here?"

"I don't know either. Grandpa didn't mention it."

"Is it accurate when you describe it?"

"I covered it with a gold engraving."

Zhong Yao took another look, and straightened the picture: "Look at it this way. The one in the middle is a river, with the upper stream thinner and the lower stream thicker. If this place is within the territory of Liang State, then this is how the picture is placed."

"Oh." Xu Guanchen suddenly realized, "I thought, this place might be in Yanbei, so I want to ask my cousin to take a closer look."

"Okay, I'll go back and compare the maps carefully to help you find them."

"Thank you cousin."

"Thank you from the family." Zhong Yao put his arms around his shoulders, "How is the illness?"

"much better."

After leaving the General's Mansion, Xu Guanchen went to Duanwang's Mansion for a while. Although the two ladies of Duanwang's Mansion were a bit haggard, they looked fine. They asked Xu Guanchen to take care of Xiao Jue, and Xu Guanchen responded seriously.

When he returned to the palace, there was good news that Yuan Ce and his party turned around and headed for Jinling.

This assassination scene, which lasted for three days, was actually broken by Xiao Jue's surprise.

March [-]th was the day when Yuqingzi repeatedly asked Xu Guanchen to come back and take medicine to treat his illness.

It has been two months since he started treatment on the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

Yu Qingzi said that if all goes well, as long as he has taken the medicine this time and waited for another month, if there is no other condition, his disease will be considered cured.

In the carriage, Eunuch Xiao Cheng withdrew his gaze from looking out, and lowered the curtain: "Master, the road ahead seems to be blocked."

It was only one street away from the Duke's Mansion, so Xu Guanchen said, "Let's go."

Walking into the long street, I realized that today was the day when Yuan Ce and his party arrived in Jinling, so the long street was blocked.

Xiao Jue rode a horse in the front, still wearing the clothes of an envoy, holding a stick in his right hand.Seeing Xu Guanchen in the crowd, he secretly waved at him.

Xu Guanchen returned the salute with a smile, and turned his gaze to the Xiling man.

Yuan Ce's men disarmed outside the city and followed him like followers.

The third prince of Xiling Kingdom, Yuan Ce, whom Xu Guanchen had fought against twice in Yanbei, was not quite a general, but more like a noble son, with handsome features and handsome eyes, riding a maroon-colored horse. Half a step to the left.

The two behind him seemed to be his personal guards.

One covered his face with a mask. The shape of the mask was that of a jackal with plum blossoms unique to Xiling.Because he was wearing a mask, he couldn't see his face clearly.Without squinting, he rode on the horse like a wooden man.

The other person looks like a literati, with an ordinary appearance, Xu Guanchen has never seen him before, and he presumably is a new counselor who voted for him.Dressed in black, he looked gloomy.

Suddenly someone grabbed Xu Guanchen's hand and led him out from the crowd.

Among Yuan Ce's group, someone also noticed him, turned his head to look, and saw a smear of white color left by the Taoist robe, smiled with his lips curled up, and licked his back molars again.
