Liu Buwang’s body was just brought back, and he hadn’t had time to discuss the burial. Someone came to inform Xiao Jue: The person sent by Her Royal Highness had found Chai Anxi.
Xiao Jue and Lin Shuanghe rushed to the palace immediately.
When he arrived at the Wangfu Hall, Mu Hongjin was talking with his men. When he saw Xiao Jue and the two, he shook his head slightly and said, "He's almost done."
When the two entered the house, they saw a person lying on the floor. The man had an arrow in his heart and was bleeding blood out of the way. A doctor-like man was pressing the wound for him. Lin Shuanghe let the man go out, sat on the edge of the ground, touched his pulse, and shook his head at Xiao Jue: "Not saved."
He was just a doctor, and it was a matter of luck to fight against King Yan. Injured like this, it is impossible to save alive. Lin Shuanghe took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured a pill out of it, and fed it into Chai Anxi's mouth.
Not long after, the collapsed person struggled to open his eyes.
Lin Shuanghe got up. "There isn't much time. If you have anything to ask as soon as possible, you can only hold your breath." He patted Xiao Jue's shoulder and went out by himself.
Chai Anxi looked up confusedly, and when he saw Xiao Jue's face, the pair of dim eyes suddenly burst into light, and he gasped: "... Er Gong?"
Xiao Jue stared at him indifferently.
"...Second son," Chai Anxi was a little excited, but as soon as he spoke, he spit out a big blood from his mouth, and he asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to find you." Xiao Jue sat down in the chair before the collapse, and his voice was calm. "Five years, now I should be able to know what happened in the battle of Mingshui."
Chai Anxi was stunned for a while, and did not speak for a while.
In fact, Xiao Jue often saw Chai Anxi when he was a teenager. Chai Anxi is a deputy under Xiao Zhongwu. His skill is not the best, but his temperament is the most loyal and honest. Like a black bear, he is about the same size as Shen Han. When he was a boy, Chai Anxi occasionally worked for Xiao Zhongwu in the house. When he saw Xiao Jue, he always smiled happily and called him: "Second Son!"
But now Chai Anxi, who is lying on the floor, and Xiao Jue, who is in memory, are both judged. Chai Anxi is about the same age as Xiao Zhongwu and is now in his prime, but he looks like an old man. His hair was gray and there was a burn on his face. His figure didn't know whether it was shrivelled or what happened, it became very small, just like a child who had not grown up. And he looked at Xiao Jue's gaze, without the love of the past, with remorse, guilty conscience, pain, or something else.
The complexity is shocking.
He smiled bitterly: "Second son, actually you all know."
Xiao Jue didn't speak.
"The general was killed. This man... including me."
Xiao Jue suddenly raised his eyes, fingers in his sleeve clenched into fists.
"You also know," Chai Anxi said very difficultly, "The general has always been dissatisfied with Xu Xiang's too much private power, but his majesty has always trusted Xu Xiang. The general reminded his majesty to be more careful to guard against Xu Xiangsheng's misfortune, Xu Xiang has long been secret to the general. I hate it."
"The current prince is tyrannical and cowardly, and he is one of the same as Xu Xiang. He has long lost sight of the general. They both fear the general's military power. They wanted to marry and slander. However, the general could not find a loophole in his life. The prince and Xu Xiangbian Together, they secretly planned a battle with Mingshui in Mingshui. In the battle in Mingshui, there were traitors in the soldiers in Nanfu.
Xiao Jue looked at him, and his eyes, like autumn waters, flicked and mocked, "Does the traitor mean you?"
Chai Anxi's expression was painful: "I'm sorry, second son... I'm sorry, they threatened me with my mother, my mother is already seventy years old, I... I promised them, and copied a copy of the general's defense map to them. ...I'm not alone. At that time, in the Nanfu soldiers, among the general's cronies, there were other people who betrayed. They were forced by their wives, children, and children.
"Why did you go to Jiyang later?"
"Xu Xiang... How can Xu Xiang allow people who know the truth to live in the world? Several of the betrayals at that time were later killed in the battle of Mingshui. I was lucky enough to escape, and I wanted to go back and take my mother to escape, Who knows that when she came home, her mother had died of illness... Xu Xiang’s people were searching for my whereabouts. I used to hear from the general that the city of Jiyang was easy to get in and out, and it was the easiest to hide. Hidden in Jiyang."
"Second son...In fact, I have always wanted to stand up and explain things in those years. But even though I was in Jiyang, the news I could hear was that the power of Xu Xiang was growing. Even if I stood up and spoke, The people are dead, no evidence, no one will believe. I want to find you in the past, but as soon as I come out of Jiyang City, my news will spread, Xu Xiang won’t let me see you alive. So I can only Wait, I know that if the two sons are still alive, they will find me one day."
Tears began to ooze in the corners of his eyes, "You have found it, it's so good... Two sons, you have grown up, and if the general is still there, I will be very pleased to see what you look like now."
Xiao Jue looked at his tears, not half moved, and only said: "Who killed you?"
"...I don't know." Chai Anxi said blankly. "As early as 20 days ago, when I was in the Cuiwei Pavilion, someone wanted to kill me. A fire was set off at night, and I escaped. The wound on my face was that. I stayed. I kept hiding until... until the Uto people came to Jiyang, I knew the news of the second son, wanted to come to you, and was chased and killed halfway..."
He was no longer the warrior under Xiao Zhongwu. For so many years, his age and skill could not be compared with that of that year, and because of the fire, he was injured and he was easily ambushed. Even with a sigh of relief, I can see Xiao Jue alive, take a look at how the teenager grew up in that year, and speak out the guilt and remorse in my heart.
"I... I don't have anything that can help the second son. Saying these is just asking for peace of mind. I owe the general, the wife, the grandson, the second son, and the brothers. "Clear." He was crying and laughing. "When I'm underground, I will personally blame the general..." His voice stopped abruptly, his eyes still open, but there was no more light.
he died.
Xiao Jue sat quietly, eyes closed, and after a moment, stood up and walked out of the door.
Chai Anxi is dead, and the last insider in the battle of Mingshui is gone. He could not bring a dead man back to Shuo Jing as a witness, and Chai Anxi did not leave anything that could be evidence.
This trip was nothing more than confirmation of something he had guessed from the beginning.
Mu Hongjin and Lin Shuanghe were waiting for him outside, and when they saw Xiao Jue coming out, Mu Hongjin said: "When the Uto people came, the situation was complicated, and I couldn't send someone to find him. After the incident, someone found the whereabouts of Chai Anxi. , When my men found him, he was being chased and killed when he was rescued. He was seriously injured. I asked the doctor in the city to temporarily help him stop bleeding..." Mu Hongjin looked at Xiao Jue's expression, slightly A frown: "Is he dead?"
Xiao Jue: "Dead."
She sighed and said nothing.
After searching for so long, the last person found it, but died, it is a pity.
Lin Shuanghe asked: "Huai Jin, what do you plan to do in the future?"
Xiao Jue was silent for a while before he said: "Chai Anxi is dead and Jiyang's military has been leveled. After a few days, he will go back to Liangzhou."
"Are you going?" Mu Hongjin was a little bit reluctant. "You haven't stayed here too long. Why not wait until the small building comes back?"
Xiao Jue said: "There is something else to do."
In this way, Mu Hongjin is not good to keep. He smiled and said: "Anyway, this time Jiyang City can be kept, thanks to Governor Xiao. This hall will write a chapter to listen to the heavens, and Your Majesty will reward you."
"No need." Xiao Jue turned and walked forward. He seemed to have little interest in these things, and he was a little impatient. Lin Shuanghe scratched his head and explained: "Huai Jin is in a bad mood at this moment. Your Highness should not have general knowledge with him."
Mu Hongjin shook his head. As a hero of Jiyang City, she is grateful anyway.
"Right," Xiao Jue paused slightly, without looking back, and his voice was deep, "His Royal Highness knows that Mr. Liu is gone."
Mu Hongjin's expression froze.
...
In Cui's house, in the house, Chu Zhao is cooking tea in a small furnace.
He looked relaxed and patient, and Yingxiang handed him the veil. He held the pot handle and put the teapot on the table.
"Chai Anxi should not work anymore." Ying Xiang said softly.
"I can find such a place in Jiyang, and it took five years to die. Chai Anxi is also a personal talent." Chu Zhao smiled slightly.
"But the four sons," Ying Xiang puzzled. "Why didn't he kill him directly, instead he kept his breath deliberately so that he could see Xiao Dudu and tell the truth, didn't he expose his father?"
"Even if he didn't say it, Xiao Huaijin had already guessed who the person behind the scene was." Chu Zhao smiled indifferently, "Speaking it out just makes him more at ease. Chai Anxi is down in front of him, and he will He hates Xiangye even more. Xiao Huaijin's greater threat to Xiangye will make me more valued by Xiangye. After all, no one knows better than Xiangye, what is the check and balance."
"Besides, this is Jiyang. There is no one around. How to do it is our own business." He said indifferently: "It is our own to reduce or increase the fire."
Ying Xiang nodded: "The slave-maid knows. The four sons, now Chai Anxi is dead, and Xiangye told us about our affairs. Are we going to return to Shuojing?"
"No," Chu Zhaodao said: "I have one thing I'm curious about, so I decided to go to Liangzhou Wei first."
"Liangzhou Guardian?" Ying Xiang was surprised. "That's Xiao Dudu's territory." Chu Zhao and Xiao Jue never dealt with it. In Liangzhou Guardian, Chu Zhao couldn't get any benefit.
"So it's very interesting to grab people on Xiao Huaijin's site."
The tea leaves in the teacup floated up and down, and he looked at it, slowly laughing.
...
The time to go back is set in two days. After Liu Bu forgets to be buried in the funeral, He Yan and Xiao Jue set off for Liangzhou Wei.
When I came to Jiyang this time, there were many happy places and many sad things. The most regrettable thing is that when we just reunited with our old friends, we have to say goodbye.
He Yan became uncharacteristically silent and slowly packed his luggage in the room. In fact, there are not many pieces of luggage. Lin Shuanghe paid for the women's clothes she bought for her in Xiuluofang, Jiyang, and He Yan couldn't take them back. She is a "big man" and she always wears women's clothing with her, and will probably be seen with strange eyes.
So those clothes and jewelry shoes, He Yan all stayed and gave it to Cui Yuezhi's four aunts. Just looking at it while packing and tidying, I feel a little bit sad. It's probably because I've been a woman for a long time. At first, I'm a bit uncomfortable.
There was also a face man under the pillow. The dough is not as bright as when it was first made, and it was a bit bleak, and the dough gradually dries out, even showing signs of cracking. He Yan picked it up and took a closer look at it.
This is the time of the Water God Festival. Xiao Jue and her took a fireflies to her on the way to the fireflies. On the water, they saw hawkers with noodles and pinched one like her. The long hair curled into a braid on the forehead and hung down the back of the head. The red skirt and black boots, Yan Yan smiled, was a strange look, and it was also her look.
I knew early on that buying this thing could not be brought back to Liangzhou Wei. But if he really wants to stay here, He Yan is not willing to. As if the face-to-face exists, it is where the memory exists. If you leave it here, you will abandon the memory of Jiyang.
But in this sad or happy memory, she is not willing to give up.
"Don't want to take it back?" Xiao Jue sat at the table and glanced at her.
He Yan sighed, "It's not good to be taken back with fear of being discovered by Liangzhouwei's people."
Xiao Jue grinned: "You're not very deceptive, why can't you find an excuse?"
He Yan said, nothing else, but in concealing her identity, from the previous life to this life, she really did be careful. After all, the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the ant cave, and all of them lost inadvertently. Be careful.
"Carefully drive the ship for thousands of years," she said, squeezing the wooden stick of the doughman in her hand, reluctant to let go.
Xiao Jue sneered: "You can say, buy it back and give it to your fiancee."
He Yan stunned and looked at him: "Is this enough?"
"You are not Yujie Bingqing. You are as obsessed with your fiance as you are. You are so obsessed that you will naturally miss wherever you go. Why don't you buy a memorial face-to-face person and return it?"
This statement reminded He Yan, too. She also seemed to be a "fiancée". For a time, she felt that Xiao Jue's reason was very reasonable. He picked up the face-to-face person and put it in the bag together. He praised Xiao Jue: "Dudu, I now find that you are the real master when it comes to deceiving people."
Xiao Jue put down the military book in his hand, looked at her, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I said casually, don't put it in my heart." He Yan sighed, "Just stayed in Jiyang for a long time, and want to return to Liangzhou Wei, there are some unwilling."
Such a gentle water country, the simple people, will naturally give birth to nostalgia. I don't know if there is a chance to come back in this life, but even if I come here again, I don't know how many years later.
"Do you want to stay?" Xiao Jue asked.
He Yan nodded and shook his head again: "No. I like it here, but there are more important things to do."
If she does not have the grudges of her previous life, she simply uses the identity of "He Yan". But she still has a lot of enmity and hatred. Even if there is a beautiful scenery, she can't stay. She has to go straight ahead.
"Are you referring to meritorious service?" His voice mocked slightly.
He Yan smiled and said: "It's true. But Dudu, you promised me before, as long as you come to work in Jiyang City, you will let me enter the Nanfu soldiers, but you can still talk."
Xiao Jue: "Counting."
He Yan was happy, at least she was a little closer to the goal she wanted.
Xiao Jue lowered his eyes, covered his deep meaning, and raised his head again, his expression had returned to calm. Just about to talk, someone knocked on the door outside, Cui Jiao's voice: "Madam."
"Come in."
Cui Jiao walked in, holding a stack of neat clothes, first glanced at Xiao Jue, a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" He Yan asked.
"The four sons of Chu next door...Let the slave-servant return this piece of clothing to you, saying that thanks to the protection of his wife's dress, she was able to withdraw from the whole body. I am very grateful."
He Yan remembered that when Chu Zhao sent Mu Hongjin's clothing for her at that time, He Yan had given him the shawl silk skirt that was "not infiltrated with fire and water, and not immersed in fire and water", and let him put it on as an armor. Had he not called Cui Jiao to return, He Yan would have forgotten.
After taking the piece of shawl yarn, He Yan thought about it and put it on the table. When she returned to Liangzhou Wei, she was also a daughter. This dress was not used anymore, and it was left to Cui Yuezhi's concubines. .
Once released, Xiao Jue's slightly cool eyes met.
The young man looked at her sideways and said calmly: "I bought the clothes I bought for Chu Zilan?"
"You didn't buy it," He Yan said honestly. "Isn't this the money that Brother Lin paid?"
Xiao Jue looked indifferent.
He Yan realized that this man was angry, and think about it too. He and Chu Zilan were in opposition, but he gave Chu Zilan what he chose, and he would naturally feel unhappy.
She thought about it and explained, "At that time, I asked Cui Jiao to send me the clothes of Her Royal Highness, and Brother Chu was afraid that Cui Jiao had a little girl. On the edge of the canal again, if he meets the Uto people, he can be killed with two knives. Didn’t the young man in Xiuluofang say, this skirt will not be immersed in water, fire, or water, and I won’t be afraid if I have armor, so I use this skirt as armor Give it to him."
At that time, the situation was too chaotic, and He Yan forgot that the clothes were women's clothes. She gave Chu Zilan, but she was afraid that Chu Zilan would not wear them.
"Brother Chu?" Xiao Jue asked slowly.
He Yan took a step back and realized that he was wrong again, "Four sons of Chu, son of Chu."
He sneered: "I think you know Chu Zilan very well."
"No, it's not too familiar." He Yanzheng said: "Ping Shui meets only, and won't see you again in the future."
"I remind you again," the young man's eyebrows were slightly impatient, and his voice was cold. "You can like anyone, like Chu Zilan, just don't know what to do."
