At this moment of thanks, there was a mixture of joy and sorrow, even the shadow of the early winter felt extremely dazzling, he licked his wounds in grief for so long, and finally felt that this bitterness may not be as bitter as it used to be.

Xun Rongbi's rattan chair was carried to the side of Xun Xun's corpse, he stood up tremblingly with his cane, and beat Xun Xun's corpse with his cane like crazy, "You rebel!" You are such an unfilial dog!! I let you let the old father be imprisoned, and I let you ambush my brother to seek power! You rebel, you rebel! I'll kill you, I'll kill you—"

The family was ruined, there was more than one thanks, Xun Rongbi was in tears, he fell to the ground hard, and Xie Ci hurriedly supported him with an arrow.

Xun Rongbi burst into tears, he held a hand of Xie Ci tightly, "Uncle is sorry, uncle is sorry for you!" ”

Trembling and muttering, he wailed and cried, his hand twisted around his heart, and his body fell in pain.

Xie Ci's eyes were red for a moment, he choked, his chest was about to burst, he raised his head and tried desperately to contain it, and big tears burst out of his eyes.

The winter wind was bleak, the dust was rolling in the chaotic school grounds, and the sound of hooves and swords finally became sporadic and completely stopped.

As sad as it is, the end here is still urgent.

Xun Rongbi's emotional ups and downs were too violent and fainted once, and he was urgently woken up by pressing the person, he forcibly ordered the guards to go and get the soft armor, barely supported it and put it on his body, combed his gray hair, and carried the rattan chair by the guards to the flag stand.

The recruits were trembling in fear, Xun Rongbi said a word, and Long Shouren shouted on his behalf: "What are you afraid of?!" Are you like these rebels? As long as you strictly abide by military discipline and practice conscientiously, you will be an excellent Suzhou soldier, and you can be safe and sound, so why worry? ”

The new recruits gradually calmed down the commotion, and the veterans were still holding their blades and armor stained with blood, and everyone gasped and looked up at the top.

In the end, Xun Rongbi took Xie Ci's hand and stood up hard, and he personally raised it in a weak voice: "This is the son of my world friend, Li Tongzhen." ”

He held up and shouted: "This time to quell the turmoil, Li Tongzhen should be the first to take the lead, and now I will be awarded the post of inspector lieutenant, and he will take office immediately!" ”

"Those who have merit will be rewarded one by one."

Xun Rongbi forced himself to finish speaking, and then fell down.

Fortunately, with a thank you on the side, and with a strong arm, Xun Rongbi did not fall on the spot, barely maintained his dignity, and got off the flag platform.

……

At the end of the next session, Xun Rongbi weakly gave a few words, and handed them over to Long Shouren to deal with.

He got into a soft sedan chair and returned to the governor's palace that morning.

The wind in early winter was already cold, and in the somewhat dim car, Xun Rongbi clenched Xie Ci's hand, he looked up at Xie Ci's eyebrows, which were somewhat similar to his father's, and before he could say a word, tears flowed first.

“…… Little Four looks more and more like your father. ”

In fact, it's not very similar, Xie Ci is too handsome and amazing, Xie Xinxin is tough and resolute, and Xie Ci's eldest brother is the most similar to his father.

But at this moment, the five points of similarity between the eyebrows of Xie Ci have become the only sustenance left for each other.

Xun Rongbi's thin hand trembled and touched the side of Xie Ci's face, and he cried to death.

“…… It's my fault, it's my fault! I couldn't be more wrong, why wasn't it me who died! ”

"That damn rebel! That damn rebel!! ”

"I hate, why did I give birth to him, I should have strangled him on the day he was born—"

thumping his chest, tearing his heart and lungs, and crying.

After returning to the Governor's Palace, Xun Rongbi held Xie Ci's hand and stood for a long time in the Red Pine Courtyard, this small courtyard is not only the courtyard where Xun Xun imprisoned him, but also the courtyard where Xie Xinxin lived when he was the governor of Suzhou, when Xie Ci was young, and when the Xie family came to visit relatives.

A few members of the family, smiling and smiling, as if yesterday, two white candles for tea and fruit wine, Xun Rongbi slowly put a piece of paper money in the brazier, and after the table, the uncle and nephew cried sadly.

……

Strongly worshiped the father and son of the Xie family, and cried bitterly, Xun Rongbi began to heal.

His situation is terrifying, but fortunately, there is no shortage of good doctors in Suzhou City, and the famous doctors gathered together, wasted all their efforts, and finally stabilized Xun Rongbi's condition.

The most exquisite medical skills are the old owner of the Huichun Hall, the old lady doctor who resigned and returned to his hometown, he took out the needle bag one by one and took it back to the medical box: "If the adults are good at recuperation, they can pass this time." It's just a lifespan, I'm afraid it doesn't exceed five years. ”

Xun Rongbi asked him how long he would live, and the old lady doctor was also used to seeing nobles, so he was blunt.

Xun Rongbi was silent for a long time, "Five years is enough." ”

He muttered.

He cheered up and asked for thanks: "Little four, is your mother okay?" Where are they? ”

Weak and delicate questioning, the winter sun penetrated through the snow-white window screen, half of the room was bright and half dark, Xun Rongbi's blue face showed a sickly color, and his eyes looked cloudy and dull because of his long-term illness.

In fact, everything is normal, Xun Rongbi is worried about his sister who has suffered a great change, this is normal, and it is even reasonable to want to take the Xie family over to take care of him.

But Gu Wan's heart tightened for no reason.

She hurriedly turned her eyes to look at the thank you in front of her.

……

The shadow of the sun was dim, and the light spots were refracted on the three people in front of the hospital bed.

But fortunately, Xie Ci paused, he said: "My sister-in-law said that I wanted to go back to Tong'an, but my second sister-in-law said that Tong'an was not suitable. They said they would send me a message when it was decided. ”

"I see."

Xun Rongbi didn't know whether to believe it or not, he nodded, sighed softly, his eyes were sad, but he quickly covered it up, and he beat his spirit: "Then I'll write a letter, you send it for me, and see if they are still in the same place?" ”

Xie Ci immediately nodded: "Okay, uncle." ”

Xie Ci took the bowl and served Xun Rongbi to drink the medicine, Xun Rongbi cheered up and wrote a letter to Xie Ci, and then fell asleep.

At this time, it was already on the lights, Xie Ci and Gu Wan returned to the room, the two did not say anything about reconciliation, Xie Ci only introduced Gu Wan as Gu's, and they were married in July last year, so the two of them naturally arranged to live in the same room.

Back in the room, Gu Wan smiled and withdrew the servant who delivered the meal, checked the doors, windows and tiles as if inadvertently, and returned to the table, Xie Ci was looking down at the letter.

Gu Wan took the envelope, directly opened the wax seal and looked at it, and saw a few tears in her sincerity, but she stuffed the letter back into the cover, opened her eyes and said nonsense: "Mother and sister-in-law are definitely not in the original place anymore, wait for the second sister-in-law to come to the news, let's send it again." ”

She slipped the letter straight into her pillow.

Xie Ci nodded without hesitation, "Okay." ”

Family can be said to be his last bottom line, no matter what, he can't let this side of the matter involve them even half a point.

The two of them washed their hands and ate.

Gu Wan lowered his voice and said, "Let's hurry up and read the file." ”

The first place of the "Lantian Collaboration with the Enemy Case" belongs to the territory of Suzhou, and the Suzhou Governor's Mansion has a complete and detailed case file, which is also something that Gu Guan must understand. At the time of the incident, Xie Ci had not yet entered the army and was far away in the central capital, so many details were not clear.

No matter what they want to do, they have to understand the details first.

Xie Ci immediately nodded: "I know." ”

The two glanced at each other, lowered their heads and quickly chopped rice.

After dinner, Xie resigned to keep vigil for Xun Rongbi, and Gu Wan thought about it and followed.

She is different from Xie Ci, she has no family relationship with Xun Rongbi, and she will not be emotionally turbulent and her heart fluctuates, but she has not highlighted her sense of existence, and has been watching coldly.

To reassure her, it will not be possible in a short time.

Obviously, the thanks, too.

……

But they seem to be overly careful.

The next day, Xun Rongbi was only able to sit up slightly, and he didn't even need the two of them to speak, he took the initiative to ask people to take the file.

The three of them carefully read the file over and over again.

Xun Rongbi obviously read this dossier for the first time, every line, every word, shocking, he covered his heart several times and gasped, hating: "This damn brute!" ”

He held his hand tightly in thanks, "Don't worry, even if your uncle is dead, he must turn over this case first!" Put you in place before you die. ”

Xun Rongbi has been strictly interrogating the people around Xun Xun, and he is doing his best to investigate, and Xie Ci personally participated, but unfortunately the people around Xun Xun have extremely hard mouths, and there are not many eyebrows at present. The three of them turned their attention back to the file, analyzed it word by word, and sent several waves of people out, Xun Rongbi gave a speech of thanks to explain in detail the intricate relationships and factions of the Northwest Army, as well as the various connections involved in each node.

He coughed, and at one point coughed up blood, and was finally forced to recuperate in bed.

During this period, Gu Wan thanked Gu Guan for coming and going to the Governor's Mansion in Daying, entering and exiting the gate of the mansion inside and outside the city, without hindrance, smoothly and freely.

Until the sixth day of November.

Xun Rongbi's illness is gradually improving, in the end, he is a person who has been strong all his life, he has not yet reached the age of sixty, and he has not yet reached the age when he is completely cured when he encounters wind and grass.

There is a little bit of vitality left, and after painstaking recuperation, it finally gradually improves.

Permission to see the wind.

The winter bleak in the north, the west wind whistling all night, the sky and the earth are vast, Xun Rongbi stood under the corridor with a thick cloak and looked up at the sky, for a long time, he said to thanks: "Tomorrow, let's go to the western suburbs to sacrifice your eldest cousin." ”

Xun Xiao's tomb is in the western suburbs.

Tomorrow on the seventh day of November, Xun Xiao's life is taboo.

Since Xun Xun returned from the bad news, to his funeral and burial, Xun Rongbi has not been present once.

……

When he came back in the evening, Gu Guan, who was sorting out the dossier, heard this, and his heart immediately tightened, knowing that the final test had finally come.

Gu Wan had privately told him not to be left alone, and not to go to a place where there were few people.

Whether you go to the camp or the governor's palace, you have to be in a place with a lot of people.

Xun Rongbi had just killed a usurper son, and he absolutely could not kill another nephew in the Suzhou camp who had announced in front of the soldiers of the whole battalion that he was the son of his worldly friend and the first person to quell the chaos.

Otherwise, the whole army will be in an uproar and its prestige will be lost.

As a leading governor, no matter who it is, Chi Guoguo can't show this kind of face in front of his soldiers.

As for the Governor's Palace, it should stay in the front yard, which is the closest to the outer wall and the most sparse and easy to retreat.

Even the thank-you dagger and the matching knife never left his body, and he always wore it vigorously, just for the sake of the former.

Even if the two of them left the house on the way to Suzhou Daying, they kept walking on the street with many people.

But there will always be times when there is no way to avoid it.

It's finally here.

When Gu Wan heard this, he immediately threw down his pen.

But the two discussed in a whisper for half a night, until the next day, when the sky was bright, and the sound of the palace guards walking around was already heard outside.

Less leaning, a servant came to give gifts, saying that the car was set, and the adults also got up.

In the end, he thanked him and said, "Yuan Niang, I want to go." ”

"I have to go too."

When the servant had withdrawn, he closed the door of his room, and said in a whisper.

During this time, the thank-you speech was the most tormenting, and reason and emotion seemed to cut him in half.

On the one hand, like Gu Guan, he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and when he was not completely sure of his safety, the string in his heart was always tight, with deep vigilance and suspicion.

After all, his father and brother were abruptly framed by his henchmen and finally put to death.

But with Xun Rongbi's care and care day after day, as well as worrying about the Xie family's affairs all night with his sick body, and even coughing up blood once, on the other hand, the more he felt emotional, the more difficult it was to suppress himself.

He knew that Xun Rongbi actually knew, Xie Ci didn't know the whereabouts of the Xie family, but Xun Rongbi didn't say anything, but didn't ask anything, just thought it was true.

Since then, he has never mentioned it again, nor has he made any inquiries or arrangements regarding his behavior.

Until yesterday, the sixth day of November.

Xun Rongbi hesitated for a while, and finally said to Xie Ci that the two went together.

Xun Xun is dead, so there is nothing suspicious about it.

What's more, Xun Rongbi has no son, and Xie Ci is in Suzhou, so he can't even refuse to worship his cousin.

That's it.

What's more, if, what he said is if, if he takes 10,000 steps back, if it is a problem to go to the western suburbs this time, he avoided it, so what next?

"We can't keep doing this."

The Governor's Mansion is not completely safe, not even in the barracks, and you can't use swords openly, so secretly, you can poison them.

Anti-light but not anti-dark.

Then you might as well go out.

The sky was hazy, the kang was very hot, Xie Ci lifted the bed tent and jumped out of bed, his placket was a little loose, revealing mottled scars from the neck down and on the back of his hands, and the new flesh was stacked with old skin, leaving shocking marks.

Just like that experience he will never forget.

Gu Wan thought about it, and her thanks were reasonable, she thought: "Then you go!" ”

She pulled the thank you and lifted an inconspicuous box at the end of the house, which was full of things she had modified after she came out of the Suzhou Daying warehouse.

She handed over the inner armor to thank her, and the chest and back of the chest guards were all carded, as well as chain sleeve darts and other things.

She thought for a moment: "You go first, and I'll follow later." ”

……

At the beginning of Chen, Xie Ci helped Xun Rongbi to board the carriage and set off.

Gu Wan was alone, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

Obviously, Xun Xun is dead.

The wounds, pulses, and breaths on his body were all determined by Gu Guan's own hands, she was a professional, she could be 100% sure that this person was too dead to die anymore.

There is also Xun Rongbi, the shackle scar on his hand is absolutely impossible to disguise, and he was dying at the time, and he didn't fake it.

He thanked him for his resignation during this time, and Gu Wan asked himself, if she was the nephew, I am afraid that her moving face would not be too much to thank him.

But for some reason, it may have gone too well, and she was always a little unsteady. It may also be the reason for his career in his previous life, Gu Wan is always very attentive when he encounters this kind of thing, although it is normal for Xun Rongbi to ask about the whereabouts of the Xie family that day, it does poke her.

Gu Wan took the pen, thinking about it in a daze, but somehow, her thoughts drifted, and she suddenly remembered the stand-in of the male protagonist Li Yi in the original book!!

- Li Yi has a stand-in, and from the day he got back to the prince, he began to select people and start cultivating.

Choose the face shape, choose the body shape, and constantly eliminate as he grows, and finally comes to the point that there is a six-point resemblance before the makeup, and there can be eight under the makeup. Nine points, looking at it from afar, is so strikingly similar that it can almost be used as a stand-in.

When he went out of Beijing privately, the stand-in stayed in the palace on his behalf, and the stand-in imitated his manners, words and deeds since he was a child, eating the same thing, living in a good courtyard, the servants called him Gongzi, and even the pancreatic incense was the same, and the daily ordinary reception and treatment could not be seen at all, anyway, a flaw was not revealed.

There was a crisis in the later stage, and the stand-in was seriously injured for Li Yi, and then gradually faded out of the scene.

"Incense!"

Seriously injured? Substitute death?!

Like a flash of lightning, it split Gu Wan's mixed thoughts in an instant, she was startled, and Huo Di stood up with a bang.

Gu Guan's heartbeat sounded like a drum.

Almost immediately, she turned around and ran into the inner room, wrapped all the contents of the box in the corner around her body, and then calmed down and immediately left the governor's palace.

Gu Wan first went to the street to pretend to buy some feminine products, she paid attention to the left and right, but she didn't find anyone who was following her.

But Gu Wan still has a way.

She thought about it for a while, and finally went to Zhang County, where she agreed to send a letter to Xie's second sister-in-law.

The Great Wei Yixin is developed, and there are many large and small shops in the major cities that receive letters on behalf of customers, and they agreed with their families to report their safety before leaving home, and the message of thanking the second sister-in-law was also written.

Xie Er's sister-in-law replied to this address.

But the follow-up situation developed too quickly, and after entering the city, Xie Ci and Gu Wan were jealous, but they didn't come to get the letter again.

After Gu Wan left the city, she flew all the way to Zhangxian, she jumped off the horse, rushed into the inn, threw down a small ingot of silver, and inserted a letter into one of the grids of the Baizi oilcloth to be sent.

She pressed the hat on her head, turned around and walked away.

Gu Wan walked out of a section, abruptly entered the alley, turned around and ran wildly, she rushed into the inn, and when she saw it, the letter she had just inserted was really gone!

"Fuck!"

Gu Wan scolded, and she rushed all the way to the inn where she really agreed to send a letter to Xie Er's sister-in-law.

The man said, "The letter was taken, and the county government began to investigate it a few days ago, and finally took away several letters, including yours." It's none of our business, do you think you've done anything? ……”

"Holy!"

Xie Ci and Gu Wan can not be said to be cautious, it can not be said that they are unguarded, the location of their peace letter communication is placed in Zhangxian County outside Suzhou, and the real name is not used at all.

It can be seen how deep the efforts of others are!

Damn it!

Gu Wan finally determined that Xun Xun, who died unexpectedly, was a stand-in!

Xie Ci found Suzhou, his sense of smell is extremely sensitive, the Xun family knows that if you are prepared, for a short time, you may not be able to deceive the past!

Xun Xun has only met in Suzhou for at least two or three years, except for the few years when he thanked him!

Gu Wan was so anxious that he turned over his horse and slapped the back of the horse fiercely.

The fat horse neighed and rushed out!
