Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

The carriage was very bumpy, as if it was driving on some mountain path, and it probably had already left the city.

When Xu Guanchen woke up again, he was careful, he didn't dare to speak, he didn't dare to move, he just opened his eyes and looked around.

It was very dark in the carriage, probably because the windows were closed, or maybe it was already dark.

There are heavy shackles on his hands and feet, which should prevent him from running away.

The carriage stopped slowly, and someone outside whispered: "Master, we're here."

In the carriage, the man was sitting next to Xu Guanchen, very close, and he responded with a hoarse voice: "Okay."

Xu Guanchen was taken aback for a moment, he was very familiar with this voice.

Zhiwei, Zhiwei around Yuan Ce.

After falling asleep for the last time, he still remembered that the person who used the drug-soaked veil to stun him was Yuan Ce, and it was not surprising that the people around him were here.

If Xiao Qi was still alive, he probably colluded with Yuan Ce.

And Yuan Ce's visit to Jinling this time was not at all for the sake of peace talks and the delineation of the northwest border, he came to disturb the water in the pond and reap the benefits.Maybe Xiao Qi promised him something, making him willing to come for this trip.

Zhiwei dragged him off the carriage, Xu Guanchen lowered his head, and secretly looked around.It was still very dark all around, the moon was dark and the wind was high tonight, the shadows of the trees shook and made rustling sounds.

Zhiwei put him on his back and stepped over the threshold: "That old Taoist, throw him to the west yard."

The people who came with him each went about their own business and hid in the dark.Only a child, holding a candlestick, ran out to meet him, and timidly called out: "Senior brother."

Zhiwei glanced at him and said, "Go get some hot water."

The child responded, latched the door first, and then went to fetch hot water.

Zhiwei carried Xu Guanchen on his back, walked for a while, walked into a room, and threw Xu Guanchen on the straw futon.

The child came in quickly, put the hot water on the wooden shelf, and turned to light a candle.

The candlelight was flickering, the child glanced at it inadvertently, and couldn't help being surprised: "Little uncle?"

Zhiwei was originally standing in front of the long desk with two candles on, with her hands behind her back, and when she heard him say this, she turned to him and asked, "What?"

Xu Guanchen also felt strange, and quietly opened his eyes to look.It turned out that this child was also seen by him.

To the east of Jinling City, spring outing in early February.Years ago, when he and Xiao Zhi lived in the Qiwu Mountain Palace, they visited the Taoist temple on the cliff together to observe quietly.

In Jingxuguan, there is only one Xiaodao boy guarding him.At that time, he also helped the little boy to look at the hexagram booth.

Sure enough, it's reincarnation.

Xiao Daotong stepped on the gossip, held Taiji in his hand, bowed to Zhiwei, and explained: "When you come to the Taoist temples in the world, if you see the same sect, you must honor him

Say 'Master Uncle'.I met this little uncle once, so..."

Zhiwei didn't want to know the rules of their fellow Taoists, nor did he want to know how he and Xu Guanchen met, so he waved his hand and let him go down.

Xiao Daotong took another look at Xu Guanchen who was lying on the straw futon, and tentatively said: "Senior brother, my junior uncle is very nice, can you..."

The candle flame danced and was dim, Zhi smiled and said, "He is my best friend."

Xiao Daotong nodded half-understood, Xu Guanchen thought for a moment, "Best friend", he hadn't heard such words for a long time, would

The only people who say such things are——

Zhiwei then told Xiaodaotong: "You wipe Guanchen... your little uncle's face."

Xiao Daotong agreed, rolled up his sleeves, washed the towel in hot water, knelt down beside Xu Guanchen, wiped his face, and made the shackles on his hands and feet more comfortable for him.

Xu Guanchen was embarrassed to work on him any longer, and it would be useless to pretend to sleep like this, so he pushed Xiaodaotong's hand away.

"Thank you."

Hearing him speak, Zhi was slightly startled, then waved his hand and sent Xiao Daotong down.

Xu Guanchen sat up and saw Zhiwei standing in front of the confession with two candles lit. On the confession, there were three spiritual tablets, those of Xiao Qi, Yang Xun and He Zhen.

After Yang Xun's death, his mother, Madam Enninghou, once came to beg him to accept these three spiritual thrones, but Xu Guanchen refused, so Madam Enninghou went directly to Dingguo Duke's mansion.

At that time in the Xinggong, Chai Bo brought him these three memorial tablets, Xu Guanchen looked upset and asked him to find a Taoist temple to place them.

Thinking about it now, it should be Chai Bo who came down from Qiwu Mountain, and this Taoist temple is the closest, so he sent these three spiritual seats here.

Going around and going around, it's reincarnation again.

Seeing him staring at the three spirit tablets in a daze, Zhiwei turned around and walked to the copper basin filled with hot water, washed his face with the hot water and handkerchief that Xu Guanchen had used, and peeled off the diaper that was pasted on his face down.

Xu Guanchen stood up, put his feet on his hands, the shackles rattled, and stepped back, standing a little further away from him.

There was a thin layer of mask floating in the copper basin, Zhiwei turned to look at him, his appearance completely changed, only his voice was still hoarse: "Guanchen, it's me."

Xu Guanchen smiled bitterly: "I know it's you."

He should have thought of it a long time ago.

Xiao Qi followed his footsteps and took a few steps forward, with some sincerity in his eyes: "I'm back."

Xu Guanchen looked at him up and down, and said calmly, "Well, you're back."

Xiao Qi took a few steps closer, it really seemed like a good friend reunited after a long absence, and wanted to hug him, Xu Guanchen dragged his shackles and stepped back: "That's not necessary."

Xiao Qidao: "Let's talk."

There was no one else around, Xu Guanchen had no choice, so he nodded.

"I didn't know at first...what medicine your father gave you. I only found out later when I saw the private seal that my father gave me before he died. There was a note in the private seal."

Xiao Qi blinked his eyes, held back two tears, and looked up at him: "Did you forget something, did Xiao Zhi lie to you?"

Xu Guanchen didn't answer, just heard Xiao Qi say again: "He lied to you, he forced the palace to usurp the throne, killed the king and father, and sent people to plot against him on the road..."

"He didn't lie to me." Xu Guanchen said firmly, "Everyone in Daliang knows that he forced the palace to usurp the throne."

"he……"

Xu Guanchen took another half step back, and only asked him: "Who cut that scar on my back?"

Xiao Qi's eyes flickered slightly: "You don't remember?"

Xu Guanchen looked away, nodded, and lied, "I don't remember."

"It's...Xiao Zhi." Xiao Qi pursed his dry lips, his voice still hoarse, "You don't know, he has always had impure thoughts about you. After he forced the palace, he still wants you. If you don't want to, he will ..."

Xu Guanchen asked again: "You..." He breathed out, he had to do a full set of acting, collected his mind, forced himself to be calm, and asked: "Then, how did your highness survive?"

"On the way to the fiefdom, all of us were killed by the men sent by Xiao Zhi. It was He Zhen... He Zhen helped me and blocked several stabs. In addition, it snowed heavily that night, so..."

He Zhen, He Zhen is He Jijiu's grandson and their classmate.

Xu Guanchen sighed softly, turned his eyes to look at the dancing candlelight, through the candlelight, there were three spirit seats on the case.He just thinks it's not worth it, he, He Zhen, and Yang Xun are not worth it.

Xiao Qi only thought that he was sorry for He Zhen, and continued: "I have always kept his loyalty in my heart. My voice was also broken at that time, and there was a scar on my neck. Later, I went to Yanbei and wanted to find you Uncle, General Zhong, but I’m afraid I’ll hurt you..."

Where is he afraid of hurting him?He was afraid that Xu Guanchen would still remember that knife, so that General Zhong would also finish him with a knife.

Xu Guanchen smiled lightly, Xiao Qi didn't realize it, and said again: "I stayed in the Northwest for three years, stayed with bandits, and then met..."

Later, he met Yuan Ce, conspired with Yuan Ce, and returned to Jinling.

But he knew that Xu Guanchen didn't like Yuan Ce, so he stopped talking.

He didn't say anything, Xu Guanchen didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, so he asked again: "What's the matter with my master?"

"The Taoist priest searched for a prescription for you, but the medicine was not easy to prepare, and you only had three years left. When the deadline was approaching, the Taoist priest found me." Xiao Qidao, "I didn't know there was a medicine until he told me. I just saw the letter my father left me about this matter. My father also left me the antidote, a total of three, because the situation was urgent, I gave two to the Taoist priest. There is one more, I am worried about you , I want to come to Jinling to see you in person.”

"Where's my master?"

"He's in the courtyard to the west, if you want to see him..."

Xu Guanchen interrupted him: "Is the iron certificate of the Dan book at His Highness's place?"

"Dingguo Gongfu's Danshu Iron Coupon was brought out to me by the Taoist priest. I don't know how he brought it out. There..."

"That's enough, I know everything." Xu Guanchen leaned back and leaned against the confession case, "You were the one who cut the knife on my back; you held the antidote in your hand and threatened my master to do things for you ..." He still wanted the things in the Danshu.

Xu Guanchen laid out all the things he had done, and Xiao Qi was obviously a little frustrated, but he only said: "I was in Xiling, and I could have planned for a long time before I came back. If it wasn't for your illness, I would risk it." What are you doing back to Jinling in danger?"

Xiao Qi hurried forward a few steps, and pushed him to the front of the confession: "I understand now, you are hurt, I know how to love you. I also want to thank you, and treat me as a good friend, otherwise, how could you think I'm dead, and I, Yang Xun, and He Zhen's spiritual seats are still enshrined?"

"I took such a big risk to come back to Jinling just because of your illness." Xiao Qi said, "Be soft, we will continue as before."

Xu Guanchen held Xiao Qi's spiritual tablet with both hands, Xiao Qi only said that he had changed his mind, and said: "Since I'm back, you don't have to guard the spiritual tablet to live, you can burn it another day..."

Xu Guanchen grabbed the spiritual tablet, slapped him hard in the face.

With a loud bang, the wooden tablet broke from it, and the crack slashed across Xiao Qi's face, and blood slowly flowed from the wound with sawdust.Xiao Qi was stunned, his face was tilted to one side, his hair fell down, and the half of his face that was hit soon turned blue.
