(Chapter 9) Flowing water and falling flowers are always ruthless

"It just so happened."

The one who came stood still, neither going forward nor leaving.

For such a casual answer, I expressed my spittle.

"Hurt?"

Seeing that I didn't speak, he turned all his attention to me.

The jungle was thick and shrub-ridden, and now that the morning sun had just risen, the light in the mountains was dim, and I didn't believe he could see my wounds.

He's tempting.

Because of my voice.

"You are chasing so closely, pressing step by step, but you have good skills!" I sneered.

"You're going to fight against me." Gu Yuancheng's eyes were cold, and his tone was ruthless, "Dare to go against Ben Shao, no one can have a good end." ”

I smiled and took a few steps closer to him with a cold face.

"Why are you the only one here?" I asked him.

Gu Yuancheng didn't speak, just stared at me indifferently.

Seeing him like this, I pretended to be surprised, "Oh, Ben almost forgot, before Ben Shao went to save His Royal Highness the Prince, he specially ordered his own boy to go to find Yang Jie, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, to come and escort him, Yang Jie is young and promising, and his martial arts are strong, I'm afraid that Gu Xiang's subordinates are all restrained by him at this moment, right?"

"The new pianist, the best taste of the phoenix in the world...... is so blatant and attention-grabbing, Gu Yuancheng, you can't help but underestimate me too much! "I drink cold.

Hearing me say this, Gu Yuancheng smiled.

"Knowing that it was a trap, Shen Qingzhi, you still jumped down without hesitation and pulled your Royal Highness the Crown Prince with you, didn't you?"

Yes, all of this was expected by me, and it could be said that I planned it.

When the news of Ya Kite Pavilion and You Feng Lou was always sent to me intentionally or unintentionally, I guessed who was doing it intentionally, and I did something about it.

"Didn't you expect me to do that? Why do you want to say that I am treacherous? I mocked.

Gu Yuancheng's gaze refused to take his eyes off me, I knew that he was not sure yet, or rather, he was gambling, betting that I was seriously injured.

"Yes, I expected that." Gu Yuancheng squinted, "Maybe the only thing we missed is your little boy and my guard." ”

I haven't seen Sun Hu all the time, and I know the reason.

"Sun Hu told you that way?"

Gu Yuancheng didn't answer my question, but asked instead, "Ben Shao's guard, where are you hiding?"

I looked at him innocently, "Your guard, how does the prime minister know where he is?"

Gu Yuancheng's face sank.

The shimmer of dust shimmered through the cracks in the trees, and the dark jungle grew brighter, and the treetops above could hardly bear the weight of the sun, so they had to make everything around them clear.

Time is running out!

But I can't act rashly.

Cen Xi is coming back soon, and he also knows that he is coming back soon. As long as Cen Xi comes back, two to one, Gu Yuancheng will never be able to ask for any benefits.

The premise is that he won't kill her at this point.

As time passed, the shade of the trees began to fade, and I clenched my fists, ready to fight to the death.

"It's a tie this time."

Just when I was about to strike first, Gu Yuancheng suddenly broke the calm.

I was stunned for a moment.

It's been so long, and I can't believe he didn't notice something wrong with me.

"Tomorrow, Ben Shao will leave the capital of Qinguo, and today will be regarded as a return gift for your last game."

Gu Yuancheng flicked his sleeves casually, and his face returned to his usual appearance. He spoke nonchalantly, but it seemed to mean something else.

Gu Yuancheng was the person I wanted to kill the most in the first half of my life, and in the same way, he would not let go of any opportunity to put me to death. If he would have mercy on me, I would rather believe that he had something compelled to leave at once, and he could not afford to gamble with me.

I sneered, "Gu Yuancheng, are you afraid?"

Gu Yuancheng turned his head.

"Shen Qingzhi, I hope that the next time we meet, it will not be when you are so embarrassed."

I know Gu Yuancheng, and when he said this, he expressed his sincerity for our deal.

"Chen Yi is in Uncle Li's pig shed." I said.

Hearing this, Gu Yuancheng did not laugh angrily, and the rising light fell in his eyes, which was radiant, handsome and charming.

"Is it to avenge your brother's last kill?"

I lowered my eyes.

"So that I can have an explanation." End a boring mess.

Gu Yuancheng's eyes changed when he saw me, he turned his back, and the early morning wind blew through the corners of his clothes, shattering and shining.

"Sun Hu is in the Ya Kite Pavilion, I will let him go back."

I casually said "oh", which was kind of an answer to him.

Gu Yuancheng frowned, as if dissatisfied with my perfunctory answer, he turned to look at me again.

The blinding blood-red color suddenly broke into his sight, and he was stunned, and several streamers flashed in his eyes.

Eventually, he closed his eyes and did nothing.

"Next time," Gu Yuancheng said, "you won't be so lucky again." ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

I had always pretended to be calm, but after all, I fell to the ground like a loss of strength, my face was pale, and my limbs trembled.

Bright red beads of blood flowed down the hem of my clothes into the stream, and the corners of my mouth lifted as I watched the blurred reflection on the stream.

"Why do you do this......

On the other side of the stream, Cen Xi stared at my eyes tightly, and his cold face was indifferent to make it impossible to guess his thoughts.

It turned out that he was back, no wonder Gu Yuancheng left so simply.

I endured the cold from the loss of blood and tried not to tremble when I spoke.

"I want to see your heart."

Cen Xi laughed mockingly, his clothes moved, and he waded directly into the water, carrying the breath of wind and rain.

"My heart?" He approached me, his eyes almost touching mine, "Shen Qingzhi, do you want to see my heart?"

I subconsciously held my breath, my eyes drooping, avoiding his cold scrutiny.

"Heh......" Cen Xi took a step back and laughed knowingly, "You just want to know if I am determined to sit on that dragon chair." ”

"Shen Qingzhi, you and I are brothers, since you want to know, why don't you just ask me?"

"We're not brothers." I deny it.

I understood when he followed my advice so easily to find herbs.

He knew about my daughter for a long time, or rather, from the moment I stepped into the Imperial Palace.

Know all about me.

But I never saw through him.

Cen Xi stiffened for a moment, and then he laughed softly.

"Someday, you'll pay for your cleverness."

The royal power is high, the wind and clouds are in the court, there are too many smart people, if you can't even do the basic convergence and clumsiness, maybe one day you will become a chess piece in the hands of others, and you can't help yourself, and there are no bones.

"Hmm." I agree with what he said, "Your Highness is right...... But if the emperor didn't see me at this, how could he dare to use me with confidence? ”

"Cen Xi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

My face was pale, and waves of drowsy thoughts came over me, and before I could even look at his eyes, I fell into the darkness.

Since ancient times, the minister is the sword, and the king is the sheath. What the king wants is a courtier who is as sharp as a sword, who can remove all obstacles to what he wants to do, and who is invincible and invincible.

Emperor Cen thinks so, so does Emperor Qi, and in the future, why won't Cen Xi be like this?

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

I was a little conscious, and I half-opened my eyes, the cold mountain wind pierced my eyeballs, and the unfamiliar scenery made me dizzy.

"Hold on, it's almost there...... Shen Qingzhi, you will live. ”

Sensing my movement, Cen Xi, who was carrying me towards the mountain, immediately spoke out to comfort me.

I seemed to answer him, but I didn't.

In the confusion, I felt him fall to the ground a few times, but he protected me so well that I felt no pain at all.

"Plead with seniors, save her ......"

……

"Although I don't have anything long, as long as it is asked by my predecessors, I will definitely give it with both hands."

……

"The doctor is benevolent, the Buddha is compassionate, if the predecessors insist on ......"

……

In my sleep, I felt someone feed me something, and I smeared it on my back for a while, and then I was in a sharp pain, and I lost consciousness.

"Although the donor's injuries are all outside the skin, there are no less than 100 large and small places, but do you want the poor nun to also diagnose and treat the donor?" The old nun in plain clothes stood at the door of the house and said to Cen Xi, who had been standing outside the door.

Cen Xi shook his head and arched his hand, "The seniors have already made an exception to save my brother, how dare you work for the seniors because of a little injury?" The seniors told me where the pharmacy was, and I just went to get some medicine to stop the bleeding. ”

The old nun raised her hand and pointed to a room, her face calm.

"From the right, the third floor of the second shelf."

Cen Xi thanked him, but did not leave immediately.

Lao Ni glanced at Cen Xi lightly and said, "Although she has practiced martial arts for many years, she is a weak body after all, and she will not be completely fine without a year and a half." ”

Cen Xi said, "If she is tired from running around after less than a month of recuperation, what will be the impact on her body?"

The old nun didn't say anything, shook the dust between his arms, and walked towards the Buddhist hall not far away.

Sighing, he already understood.

Cen Xi approached the room, raised his hand on the door, paused, and put his hand down.

"I know, you actually guessed that your father would tell me everything about you......"

"I just don't understand, after so many years of brotherhood, why do you choose to expose this layer of window paper at this moment?"

Cen Xi stood outside the door with his hands in his hands, and he looked up at the clouds in the sky.

"Is it because of Gu Yuancheng?"

"He sneaked into the capital, and the chess game began."

Power status, wealth and reputation, in front of these, everyone is so greedy, so ugly.

Perhaps, the comparison of smart people is the infinity and infinitesimity of desire.

Shen Qingzhi ...... Let's stay. ”

Stay in this green mountains and green waters, stay in this paradise, stay in this peaceful and silent jade chrysanthemum fragrance, do not ask about the prosperity of the world, do not ask about the hustle and bustle of the world.

There was no sound in the room, and Cen Xi smiled self-deprecatingly.

To whom did he say these things?

It's him, isn't it?

Cen Xi walked towards the pharmacy, he should have given himself medicine, otherwise before Shen Qingzhi woke up, he would have to go to Huangquan first.
