With Yuan Xi's foot strength, it was true that Lu Yiping and Jia Nanfeng, who were riding horses, did not fall far, just because Jia Nanfeng was there, Yuan Xi could not appear directly.

If he suddenly appears and accuses Jia Nanfeng of being a murderer, it will only be Lu Yiping who will be embarrassed.

Even if Lu Yiping believed him and captured Jia Nanfeng with him, I am afraid that after returning to Ziyang City, no one may believe him.

Besides, Yuan Xi couldn't be sure whether Lu Yiping would believe him.

Jia Nanfeng is the deputy head of Qingyun Sect and Lu Yiping's uncle.

So Yuan Xi always kept a short distance from the two.

After seeing Jia Nanfeng leave Ziyang City with Lu Yiping, Yuan Xi was not in a hurry to return to Pingnan City.

Yuan Xi knew in his heart that Lu Yiping was not Jia Nanfeng's opponent, if Jia Nanfeng suddenly killed Lu Yiping, then he Yuan Xi would really not be able to go back and see that face that he thought about day and night.

Seeing the fire from a distance, Yuan Xi quietly retreated more than two miles, found a random place, sat on the ground, ate two steamed buns bought in Quanshui Town, drank saliva, and then meditated and rested.

continued to run, and he was a little overwhelmed.

It was Jia Nanfeng's long howl that woke him up.

After judging that the two had fought each other, Yuan Xi, who rushed over, happened to save Lu Yiping.

Yuan Xi withdrew his palms pressed on Lu Yiping's back and exhaled lightly.

Before Yuan Xi helped him to heal his injuries, Lu Yiping first took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill from it, threw it into his mouth, chewed a few bites, and sent it down with saliva.

Medicine is a special healing medicine.

As Lu Yiping's identity as a city guard, there is naturally no shortage of him.

After taking the medicine, Lu Yiping casually threw the medicine bottle to Yuan Xi and asked him to keep it.

I have been carrying this bottle in my arms for several years.

Yuan Xi didn't push back, he put his hand in his arms, he knew that Lu Yiping was not short of this.

Besides, with him Uncle Lu, there is no need to be polite.

Standing up, Yuan Xi looked around, and there were a few pieces of firewood that had not yet burned out and were shining with stars in the dark night.

Yuan Xi gathered the firewood together, found some dry firewood around, piled them on them, half-lay on the ground, and blew them lightly.

When the smoke came out of the dry wood above, Yuan Xi blew a few more mouthfuls, and the flames rose up.

With the firelight, the night is no longer so dark.

When he was in Tianyu Mountain, it was always his business to make a fire.

Master still said the same thing, a gentleman is far away from cooking, you are a child, not a gentleman, you should make a fire, you should cook and cook.

Later, after following the master to read the book, Yuan Xi learned that "the gentleman is far away from cooking" is not what the master said at all.

Of course, the original meaning of this sentence was also said by Huo Qiji to Yuan Xi.

Huo Qiji also told Yuan Xi that the same words, from different mouths, of course the meaning can be different.

At that time, Xiao Yuanxi pouted, and went back to make a fire.

Master is Master, so naturally whatever he says is what he says.

bullied me when I was a child, bullied me Xiaobei, and said it so high-soundingly.

Of course, Xiao Yuanxi only dared to think about it in his heart, and he didn't dare to say this in front of his master.

Yuan Xi has never been afraid of Master in his heart.

Master is his own relative, how can he be afraid of him?

He is dear to Master.

Since it is respectful love, some unpleasant words cannot be said in front of the master.

Yuan Xi doesn't think of himself as a gentleman, because he can't be a real "far cook".

Burnt and fragrant, squeaky pheasants, hares, roe deer legs, he could not resist this temptation.

In fact, the master can't resist it.

But Yuan Xi thinks that the master is a gentleman, a righteous gentleman.

Anyway, the master always eats ready-made, and what is on the table is just the food they use to feed their stomachs, and it is not a poor little beast.

Once Huo Qiji drank too much, and once asked Yuan Xi, do you say that the wailing of this beast is what people see, or what the beast thinks?

Yuan Xi shook his head, he hadn't seen it, so he didn't know.

Huo Qiji shook his head and sighed, this is all things spiritual, and it is true that there is something sad in the heart, but many times, it is just people who are self-righteous.

People, what I like most is self-righteousness.

After taking a bite of the chicken leg, Huo Qiji shook his head and sighed: "If you don't eat, everyone will starve to death, who else to tell you about your kindness?"

"The so-called mercy is just the exclusive property of the strong. ”

"But shouldn't 'benevolence' be the way everyone should be?"

"The sages gave us the best of the world, but unfortunately, we are still too far from these. ”

"Is there a gentleman in this world? Yes, but it may not be a gentleman in the eyes of everyone, a gentleman, a villain, a good man, a wicked man, who is good and bad in the eyes of whom?

"Is it really true that most people agree with it?"

"It's a pity, it's a pity!"

"Hard, hard, hard!"

Master said a lot of things after drinking, Yuan Xi couldn't understand it, and sometimes he felt that even the omnipotent master in his eyes had a lot of things he couldn't understand.

The firewood crackled, and the light of the fire shone on the face of the young man who was not yet weak, flickering and dimming.

After Yuan Xi's guidance with "advanced internal strength", the Qingxuan Gong in Lu Yiping's body was finally able to run more smoothly.

After running for a week, Lu Yiping opened his eyes, turned his head to one side, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Hearing the movement from Lu Yiping's side, Yuan Xi, who was stunned by the fire, looked back, hurriedly got up and walked over, squatted on Lu Yiping's side and asked, "Uncle Lu, how is it?"

Wiping the blood on the corner of his mouth with his palm, Lu Yiping waved his hand and said, "It's no big deal, and you can recover after a few more days." ”

Yuan Xi thought for a while and asked, "Uncle Lu, why did Jia Nanfeng suddenly attack you? Did you see through his conspiracy?"

Lu Yiping smiled: "I still believe in Guan Guan's vision. ”

Yuan Xi scratched his head, looked up at the sky, and muttered in a low voice, "I remember the last look you looked at me before." ”

Lu Yiping snorted lightly and said: "Stinky boy, you don't want to think about it, how can I have time to think about it when such a big thing suddenly happens?" Then Jia Nanfeng suddenly shot at you, saying that it was you who shot the king, you said that I can suddenly jump out and say that you were wronged?"

Lu Yiping sighed and said, "Besides, at that time, even if you were not the real murderer, you would have become the real murderer when you escaped from the palace." ”

Yuan Xi picked up a stone, threw it into the distance, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Lu, you are confused, I am even more confused, I saw him shoot with my own eyes, and then the king died, and when I was not allowed to react, he suddenly became the target of everyone." As you know, I'm no match for Jia Nanfeng, and if I don't run away, I'll definitely be caught. ”

"At that time, I will not be able to argue, even if I say that Jia Nanfeng did it, who will believe it? Besides, if there is a chance, I am afraid that Jia Nanfeng will kill me, so that I can die without proof. ”

Lu Yiping nodded and said, "You have a point, I always felt that you could escape, it was Jia Nanfeng who did it on purpose." ”

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said: "That's true, although my foot strength is stronger than Jia Nanfeng and Ning Kai, but there are other people in the palace to stop me, and the two of them may not be able to capture me." ”

Lu Yiping shook his head, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Who would have thought that the deputy head of the Qingyun Sect, who served as a guard in the palace, would suddenly attack and kill the king?"

Yuan Xi continued with the question just now, "Uncle Lu, this is almost to Pingnan City, why did Jia Nanfeng suddenly make a move with you? Didn't he go to Pingnan City with you to deal with me? If you see through his conspiracy, you don't need to do it here, after all, after arriving in Pingnan City, but our own territory, if we do it at that time, our chances of winning will be much better." ”

Lu Yiping patted Yuan Xi on the shoulder and said to Yuan Xi: "Yuan Xi, do you know Ye Bei's little father-in-law?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "I know, I came to the palace twice, and this little father-in-law helped guide the way." Why did Uncle Lu suddenly ask about this?"

Lu Yiping said: "The reason why my uncle knows the truth is all because of the truth told by this little father-in-law, when he happened to be on the side of the palace gate and saw Jia Nanfeng make a move. ”

Yuan Xi was surprised: "He actually saw it?" Also, if it was someone else, he might not be willing to open this mouth for me Yuan Xi. ”

After finishing speaking, Yuan Xi was puzzled: "Uncle Lu, since you know that the real culprit is Jia Nanfeng, why don't you capture him in the palace?"

After thinking about it, Yuan Xi nodded and said, "I understand, there is no one in the palace who is the opponent of the two of them." ”

Lu Yiping smiled bitterly and said, "Yuan Xi, let me ask you, what's going on with that cloud?"

Hearing Lu Yiping ask about the jar of clouds, Yuan Xi said hatefully: "That Jia Nanfeng is really an old and cunning person, Uncle Lu, last time he lost to me the jar of chess pieces, I counted it, and there was one sunspot missing." ”

Lu Yiping raised his eyes, "You mean, he left a sunspot in his hand?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Yes, when I wasn't playing chess at that time, I asked him in a whisper, but he said to play chess first and talk about it later." But when I twisted the piece, he opened the chess jar, and I suddenly saw the black spot, and for a moment I was stunned, and then he suddenly got up, and while scolding me, he shot the king. ”

Lu Yiping pondered: "No wonder, no wonder, if it weren't for this sunspot, His Royal Highness and Wei Shuai would have believed what Ye Bei said, and now His Royal Highness and Wei Shuai don't believe you, but they also don't believe him Jia Nanfeng, it's just that you are the one who escaped, so naturally you are more suspicious of you." ”

Yuan Xi asked, "Uncle Lu, what should we do now?" Go back to Ziyang City and confront Jia Nanfeng face to face?"

Lu Yiping pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay, if you believe me, Wei Shuai and His Second Highness should believe it, calculate the time, and when we arrive at Ziyang City, His Highness and Vice Marshal Feng should also return." Vice Marshal Feng is my senior brother, and his martial arts are above me, with him, plus me, and Wei Shuai, who is still young with a sword, even if he Jia Nanfeng and Ning Kai suddenly get into trouble, they can overcome it. ”

Yuan Xi asked, "Uncle Lu, what about me?"

Lu Yiping sighed and said, "Yuan Xi, before I explain the truth to His Highness, you still shouldn't show up." ”

After speaking, he looked up at Yuan Xi and said, "Why don't you go back to Pingnan City first!"

Yuan Xi thought about it, shook his head and said to Lu Yiping: "Uncle Lu, you go back alone, I don't worry, think about it, Jia Nanfeng will return to Ziyang City before you return to Ziyang City, then what will he say?"

Lu Yiping thought about it carefully, suddenly stood up, and scolded, his uncle.

It turned out to be a pit here.

No wonder he Jia Nanfeng must have injured himself, but he was not in a hurry to kill himself, what he wanted was a renegade Lu Yiping.

Lu Yi's face was a little gloomy, and he looked at Yuan Xi and said, "What if he rushes back first?" I don't believe that Wei Shuai will believe his words. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Uncle Lu, I'll go back with you, if you have any mistakes, I really have no shame to go back to see Guan Guan." ”

Lu Yiping shook his head and said: "If you go back with me, won't you fall for Jia Nanfeng's tricks?" Even if I am detained by Wei Shuai, it is better for the guard of Pingnan City to be replaced by another person than for me Lu Yiping to become a traitor and stay there, do you understand?"

Yuan Xi frowned, thought for a while and said: "No, how Pingnancheng has nothing to do with me, I have to ensure your safety, in this way, I will follow you secretly, if I see them make a move on you, I will make a move." ”

Seeing that Yuan Xi was disobedient, Lu Yiping glared and said, "What's the matter? Don't even listen to my words? Even if you don't listen to military orders, I'm still Guan Guan's father, right, and you treat your future father-in-law?"

Hearing Lu Yiping claim to be his future father-in-law, Yuan Xi couldn't hold back for a while, turned around and snickered twice.

Seeing this, Lu Yiping raised his leg and kicked Yuan Xi's buttocks, but Yuan Xi dodged and dodged.

Yuan Xi scratched his head embarrassedly, and grinned at Lu Yiping: "Get used to it, get used to it, in the past, the master would always give me a sudden look to train my reflexes." ”

Lu Yiping glanced at Yuan Xi, sighed and said, "You kid, why don't you eat oil and salt? How clear can I say? If you go with me, I will be mud in my crotch." I, Lu Yiping, am upright and upright, loyal to the king, and my heart can be known to the sun and the moon, how can I be afraid that he Jia Nanfeng will play right and wrong?"

Yuan Xi glanced at his future father-in-law, shook his head, and did not speak.

Seeing that Yuan Xi didn't listen to his words, Lu Yiping had no choice but to move out of his daughter, and persuaded bitterly: "Yuan Xi, don't you think about Guan Guan? Since he Jia Nanfeng dares to assassinate the king, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will attack Guan Guan, have you forgotten how you met Guan Guan in the first place?"

Yuan Xi was silent for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Lu, since he Jia Nanfeng has returned to Ziyang City before us, even if you chase him now, you can't reach the royal capital one step ahead of him, why don't you and I return to Pingnan City first, and then leave for Ziyang City after making arrangements." ”

Lu Yiping thought for a while, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let's set off now, but there is only one horse at the moment, you ......"

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, my two legs can run faster than those four-legged horses!"

The situation was urgent, Lu Yiping was polite to Yuan Xi again, quickly turned on his horse, and galloped towards Pingnan City.

Yuan Xi, who was just about to leave, looked at the fire that was still burning, just as a burst of urine hit.

After the sound of "呲~呲~", Yuan Xi fastened his pants and chased after Lu Yiping.

More than an hour later.

Seeing that Pingnan City was in front of him, Lu Yiping pulled the reins, and before he could turn back, Yuan Xi had already stood beside him, stared at the closed city gate and said, "Uncle Lu, I'll wake people up and open the city gate!"

Lu Yiping nodded, took out his waist card and threw it to Yuan Xidao: "Bring this, without my waist card, they won't open the door, so they don't have to make a big fuss!"

Yuan Xi stretched out his hand to catch the waist card, flew forward, stepped on the city wall on tiptoes, and the people had already gone up to the city tower, and then there were a few cheers.

Lu Yiping drove forward, and when he arrived in front of the city gate, the door just opened a crack.

After entering the city, Lu Yiping said to Yuan Xi: "You go to the army, find Zhou Bochang and a few of them, I will go home first to see if there is any accident at home." ”

Seeing that Yuan Xi was reluctant to move, Lu Yiping glared, "Let me ask you, in the middle of the night, is it appropriate for you to go to the General's Mansion?"

Yuan Xi stuck out his tongue, turned around and left.

Lu Yiping scolded with a smile, and quickly rode towards the general's mansion.

————————————————————

Sima Wende quickly glanced up, but found that the roof was no longer Chen Fangzao's trace.

Putting the short sword in his hand on the desk, Sima Wende picked up the brush that Chen Fang had grabbed earlier, and looked up at the palace man who came over.

Seeing Sima Wende holding the pen in his hand, Gong Juren chuckled.

He knew that the emperor, who had always been very timid, did not have the courage to aim the tip of his sword at his chest.

Walking forward, the palace man bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, from today on, I will be your chief of internal affairs, Sun Mink Temple is old, and it is inevitable that things will be a little confused." By the way, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother also sent a few clever little eunuchs, so Your Majesty doesn't have to think about it. ”

Hearing the palace people mention his imperial grandmother, Sima Wende hurriedly asked: "How is the queen mother?" Gong Gonggong, oh no, it's the palace mink temple, the queen mother is old, I hope you will bother more." ”

The palace man looked at the little emperor who was polite to him, bowed slightly and said: "This is a matter within the minister's responsibility, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

After speaking, he stepped forward and said to Sima Wende, who was holding the pen: "Your Majesty, but you need the minister to study ink?"

Sima Wende glanced at the pen in his hand and asked: "This kind of thing, just call a palace maid to do it, you are the Mink Temple, you don't need to do this." ”

Gong Juren smiled: "I forgot to tell Your Majesty, Lord Xiangguo has ordered, in order to prevent Your Majesty from being as promiscuous as the first emperor, all the little eunuchs will serve in front of Your Majesty." ”

The sound of "snap" is the sound of the pen barrel breaking.

Gong Juren shook his head, stretched out his hand to take the broken pen in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister said something that should not be said, since he chose to live, then he can't let the emperor die in vain." ”

Sima Wende stared at the palace for a moment, then took a step back, and sat on the throne in a daze, his eyes blank.

Gong Juren glanced at his short sword, grabbed it and wiped the blood stains on it with the placket of his clothes, pinned it on his body, and said to Sima Wende: "Your Majesty should go back to the palace, this place is filthy, don't stain the holy eye." ”

Sima Wende laughed miserably: "I really can't stand it, it's my father's blood, do you know, watching the blood on my father's body drip down on the ground drop by drop, you won't know what it's like." ”

Gong Juren shook his head, but said, "Your Majesty, please do it!"

How could he not have seen it?

If it hadn't been for the fact that the lord wanted to humiliate him, he would have fallen in a pool of blood.

Gong Juren is not his real name, he was originally called Sun Xiaobao.

The palace is the name given by the lord.

A man in the palace who had an object sawed off.

Sima Wende stood up, looked down at the pool of blood on the ground, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you send your father?"

Gongjuren looked at Sima Wende and asked, "Your Majesty really wants to know?"

Sima Wende raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Say it!"

The palace man asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty, do you know that every year in this palace, palace maids and little eunuchs die, or die of illness, or are beaten to death, or die inexplicably, do you know where their bodies are gone?"

Sima Wende said angrily: "I am the king of a country, how can I know such a trivial matter?

Gong Juren chuckled, bowed his head and said: "Yes, Your Majesty is the king of a country, the Ninth Five-Year Honor, how can you care about such a trivial matter? But as far as the minister knows, it seems that His Majesty has not bothered much about the major affairs of the country!"

"You!"

Sima Wende wanted to say something, but thinking about his current situation, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

The palace man continued: "Your Majesty, our palace is very large, and we keep walking to the west, and there is a place called a mass grave. The treatment of the emperor is better than that of ordinary eunuchs and palace maids, and the minister also wraps the emperor in several brocade quilts to save the cold on the Huangquan Road. ”

Sima Wende's body shook, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

The palace man wanted to help him, but he pushed him away.

His hands were pressed on the table, and tears were dripping down the table.

A generation of emperors was thrown into a mass grave after his death, and the son of this emperor is still the monarch of the world.

Sima Wende muttered, "Isn't there a funeral?"

Gong Juren thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, what if it's a beautiful funeral? What do you think the people of the world will think of this world?"

Sima Wende shook his head and said: "But I am his son, but I can't keep filial piety for him, I am regarded as unfilial, and I am a son of man and an emperor in vain." ”

The palace man picked up Sima Wende and said, "Your Majesty, please remember the last words of the emperor!"

Sima Wende didn't push away the palace juren this time, and walked out with him.

After going out, Sima Wende straightened his chest, let the wind dry his tears, and strode towards his bedroom.

After walking a few steps, he remembered something, stood up and turned back and asked, "Gong Mink Temple, where can the Queen Mother know the news of her father's death?"

Gong Juren shook his head and said, "Weichen doesn't dare to talk nonsense. ”

Sima Wende breathed a sigh of relief.

If the imperial grandmother knew that her father was victimized by that adulterous appearance, she was afraid that her old man would be so angry that she would not be able to come up in one breath, so she would drive west, then he Sima Wende would really not be able to stand it.

At this time, he remembered another person, looked at the palace and asked, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is still in the palace?"

Gong Juren nodded.

Sima Wende was puzzled: "A few days ago, the king has returned to Yangzhou, why is my aunt still in the palace?"

The palace man shook his head, in this palace, only the eldest princess, who was the princess side by side, was not in charge of him.

After thinking about it, Sima Wende asked, "Then can I go to visit my aunt?"

Gong Juren thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty can naturally go!"

Anyway, Lord Xiangguo didn't say no.

Sima Wende nodded and said, "Okay, then drive to the eldest princess's Lan Ruo Palace." ”

————————————————

Hearing his father briefly talk about what happened in Ziyang City, Lu Guanju looked anxious, but he didn't know what to say.

She can't say that she wants to meet Brother Yuan right away.

Fortunately, Daddy said that now Brother Yuan is in the Zhennan Army.

Lu Yiping was explaining some things to his wife.

After explaining, he turned his head to look at Lu Guanju and said, "Guan Guan, my father is not seriously injured, so there is no need to be in such a hurry." ”

Lu Guanju let out a light "um".

Daddy is okay, he can still see it, he is full of anger when he speaks, his voice is still so loud, except for a little tired color between his eyebrows, there is nothing serious.

Seeing that his baby daughter didn't speak, Lu Yiping sighed and said, "That's it, I won't let you go to the Zhennan Army, I'm afraid that both of you will complain about me, let's go!"

"Yiping!"

Lu Mu called softly, with a reluctant look on her face.

Lu Yiping grinned and said, "I'll be back in a few days, just remember to prepare my medicinal wine!"

Lu Mu's face was slightly red, she glared at Lu Yiping, and then said softly: "I'm waiting for you at home!"

Lu Yiping turned around, stood for a moment, and waved his hand.

In the camp of the Zhennan Army, Zhou Bochang and the four of them were shocked after hearing what happened to Yuan Xi.

The King of Shu was killed like this?

even framed the general and Yuan Xi!

I haven't seen it for a few days, and such a big thing will happen.

Wang Ji's heart was even more shocked.

He had a guess if it was their people who did it.

It's no wonder that the adult's Liuyun Palm made it superb, it turned out that the Qingyun Sect was behind the back.

Thinking about this, Wang Ji's heart suddenly brightened.

Yuan Xi did not stay in Lu Yiping's camp tent, but sat in front of the camp gate, leaning on a pole, and waited quietly.

The sound of horses' hooves came, and Yuan Xi opened his eyes.

On horseback, a face appeared behind Lu Yiping.

It was as if a bright moon had risen in the middle of the night.
