Chen Jian came out of the palace, hurried all the way, and soon came to the gate of Pingyang Mansion.

However, just when the three big characters of Pingyang Mansion on the plaque came into view, Chen Jian suddenly stopped.

Have you forgotten that Lu Qingsong expelled himself from Pingyang Mansion with a paper deed of relief in Wulin Yuan?

Myself, I can't go back.

The moonlight like water cast on the earth, stretching Chen Jian's figure slender and lengthy, and on the long street, which was already lonely and silent, Chen Jian looked at his lonely shadow and sighed.

The incident of Fengxueyue made Chen Jian dare not face Shangguan Yunrui, let alone return to Wulin Yuan, and now he seems to have nowhere to go.

Chen Jian raised his eyes to look at the empty streets and alleys, crisscrossed by the corners of the houses with bricks and tiles projected on the ground, weaving night nets.

The world is so big, which direction should I go?

Just as he was about to move forward, Jian Chen suddenly found a faint trace of red light in the dead corner of the street opposite Pingyang Mansion.

This wisp of red light looked so dazzling and abrupt in the black and white night, and soon, the red light began to gradually gather and condense again, and in the deepest part of the red light, Chen Jian was surprised to find that a fiery phoenix was spreading its wings.

Why? The phoenix in the palace appeared here, wasn't that his hallucination?

The fiery red phoenix seemed to be surrounded by flames, and its whole body was blood-red, which made people shudder. What's even more surprising is that Chen Jian found that the phoenix's eyes were staring at him tightly, those eyes, without color, seemed to be a hollow thing, but from that hollow, there were clearly glittering tears.

Chen Jian was stunned, and quickly stepped forward, wanting to take a closer look, but as soon as he took a step, he heard a familiar shout from behind him.

"Jian Chen!"

That--it was Lu Qingsong's voice.

Chen Jian looked back and saw that Lu Qingsong and his grandson were looking at him at the gate of the mansion, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Lord Lu!" Jian Chen turned around and slowly walked towards Lu Qingsong.

On the steps outside the mansion, Jian Chen was about to kneel, but Lu Qingsong hurriedly took a few steps to support him, "You—, you have suffered." ”

"Lord Lu," seeing Lu Qingsong's words of concern for him as always, Chen Jian had mixed feelings in his heart, "subordinates, subordinates have negative adults." ”

"Don't say that, it's the fault of this government that has affected you, now that you are safe and sound, and this government is also relieved, you better leave this place quickly. Lu Qingsong looked at Jian Chen.

"My lord, really—don't you want to be subordinate?" Jian Chen said gloomily.

"Your contract with Pingyang Mansion has been terminated, Gongmen is a place of right and wrong, not for you, and this mansion can no longer be your bond. Lu Qingsong looked sad.

"The subordinate begged the lord to take him in, and the subordinate had nowhere to go. Chen Jian plucked up his courage and begged to land on Qingsong, his eyes full of hope.

"You are strong in martial arts, brave and strategic, and the world is at your disposal, so you should leave. Lu Qingsong tried to keep his tone without a trace of warmth.

"The world is so big, but there is no place for subordinates to return, Lord Lu is like father and son to his subordinates, and his subordinates ask for their success. Jian Chen fell to his knees and looked at Lu Qingsong stubbornly.

"My lord, Chen Jian's temperament should be known to adults, if the adults don't agree, he is very likely to kneel, besides, Chen Jian is a chivalrous warrior, how can he abandon the adults because he cares about his own safety!"

Looking at the stubborn Chen Jian, Lu Qingsong knew that what his grandson said was reasonable.

"Well, in this case, this government promised you to come back, but there is no contract between you and Pingyang Mansion, if you want to leave one day, you can leave at any time. Lu Qingsong helped Jian Chen up.

Chen Jian was overjoyed when he saw that Lu Qingsong finally agreed.

"It's hard at night, so you'd better go home quickly. Gongsun reminded Lu Qingsong.

Lu Qingsong smiled, "This mansion actually forgot that we have been outside the mansion all along. He dragged Jian Chen's hand, "Escort Chen, go in with this mansion." ”

Chen Jian was led by Lu Qingsong, and a warm current suddenly appeared in his heart, and the hardships he had suffered for many days disappeared in an instant.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and when he turned his head and looked into the depths of the alley, it was indeed empty.

The phoenix?

What's wrong with you, the blood-colored phoenix, the masked man in the middle of the night, are those real, or are they?

Coming to the mansion, Lu Qingsong confessed to Jian Chen, "Tomorrow, this mansion will ask the emperor for an order to abolish your responsibility as a Praetorian Guard." ”

Jian Chen was taken aback, "What's the matter?"

Gongsun Sun stepped forward and said, "Chen Huwei's personality adults and students know that with your temperament, sooner or later you will get into trouble in the palace, this time is the best example, when the time comes, it will affect the affairs of Pingyang Mansion is small, in case Chen Huwei is worried about his life, how can the adults deal with themselves?"

Chen Jian saw the sincere eyes of Lu Qingsong and his grandson, and then looked at the four worried guard brothers around him, and his heart was moved.

"The duty of the Praetorian Guard is to protect the emperor, and if the lord asks for an order, I am afraid that it will displease Long Yan. After this incident, the subordinates will definitely be careful everywhere, and the adults still don't have to take this risk. Chen Jian persuaded politely.

Lu Qingsong seemed to have made up his mind, "Guard Chen doesn't need to say much, this matter has its own plans, you are tired for a few days, it is better to go back to the room and rest early." ”

"My lord!" Before Jian Chen could be dissuaded, his grandson said in his ear, "Escort Chen, even if it's not for yourself, you have to think about Pingyang Mansion." You are now a member of our Pingyang Mansion, and once you make a mistake, Pingyang Mansion will definitely be inseparable. ”

This trick was tried and tested, and Jian Chen immediately stopped talking.

However, will the emperor really let himself go? I'm afraid it's just Lord Lu's wishful thinking. Jian Chen shook his head and returned to his room.

Sure enough, after hearing Lu Qingsong's request that he remove Chen Jian from his post as a Praetorian Guard, the emperor's face was obviously displeased. "Is this what you mean or does Jian Chen mean?"

"Jian Chen is from Pingyang Mansion, and this mansion has the right to make decisions for him. ”

The emperor had expected that it was Lu Qingsong's own idea, and he smiled, "Does Lord Lu think that I have handled this incident unfairly, so I let you be so upset with your subordinates?"

Lu Qingsong bowed and said, "The minister doesn't dare!" It's just that the minister knows that Escort Chen is too stubborn, and he will inevitably cause some trouble in the palace and cause the royal reputation to be bad. ”

The emperor knew Lu Qingsong's intentions, but he didn't want to miss out on such a loyal person.

"I understand what Lord Lu means, do you think that I will be detrimental to your guards and harm his life in vain?" the emperor smiled.

Lu Qingsong said, "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is just-"

The Emperor interrupted him with a wave of his hand and pulled a gold medal from his bosom. "This is my gold medal, no matter what crime Jian Chen commits in the future, as long as he has this gold medal from me, he can be spared from death!" He asked Xiao Lizi beside him to hand over the gold medal to Lu Qingsong, "So Lord Lu will be relieved, right?"

"Death-free gold medal?" Lu Qingsong was surprised, this gold medal has not yet been possessed by anyone in the entire imperial court.

Before Lu Qingsong could speak, the emperor closed his eyes and ignored him.

The eunuch Xiao Lizi walked down and motioned for Lu Qingsong to leave.

Lu Qingsong looked at the emperor who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and then looked at the gold medal in his hand, and in desperation, he had to leave with a frown.

As soon as Lu Qingsong stepped out of the door with his front foot, the emperor opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you gave this gold medal for avoiding death to a guard of Pingyang Mansion, aren't you afraid?" the eunuch Xiao Lizi carefully reminded the emperor after Lu Qingsong left.

A sly smile tugged at the corner of the Emperor's mouth. "Xiao Lizi, do you think that with the temperament of that little guard, when it comes to life and death, he will use this death-free gold medal to save his life? Besides, with this death-free gold medal, what will those self-proclaimed Jianghu people think of him?"

Xiao Lizi was stunned for a moment, then smiled instead, "It's still the master's wisdom!"

The news that Jian Chen had won the emperor's gold medal for avoiding death soon spread throughout the imperial court. There are those who are happy for him, and of course, more of them cast strange eyes on him.

Of course, it was the people who reacted the most violently.

They complained a lot about the emperor's gold medal for avoiding death, and accused Chen Jian of being a dog leg and a little slave of the imperial court.

Chen Jian didn't expect this brand to attract so much criticism, since he was provoked by people in the rivers and lakes many times when he was handling the case, he quickly guessed the emperor's intention for giving him this brand.

This emperor is really not to be underestimated, he clearly wants to make himself completely intolerant of the rivers and lakes.

Soon, it was the fifteenth day again.

Only this time, when he set off for Wulin Yuan, Jian Chen hesitated.

In the past almost a year, although Shangguan Yunrui always punished himself inexplicably on the fifteenth day of every month, he never retreated.

Shangguan Yunrui is not only a senior brother for him, but also a big brother, an elder whom he admires immensely.

Being able to have such a reputation in the rivers and lakes at a young age is definitely not something that can be achieved by martial arts, Shangguan Yunrui's behavior and courage are beyond his reach.

In addition, his heart has always been full of guilt for him, and he has always been grateful for his decision to give up happiness for himself.

Therefore, no matter how Shangguan Yunrui treats him, he will not, let alone resist.

However, since the last incident of Fengxueyue, he has never returned to Wulin Yuan.

Although he had been inquiring about Feng Xueyue's whereabouts, he had no news, so he was very worried, he was afraid that he would see Shangguan Yunrui's disappointed expression when he arrived at Wulin Garden, and he was afraid of seeing his lonely look.

However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he walked out of the gate of the mansion, he met a child.

"Are you Chen Jian's eldest brother?" the seven or eight-year-old boy stopped Jian Chen with his big innocent eyes.

"Are you?" Chen Jian looked at the handsome and simple child in front of him, his face full of suspicion.
