General Xiao stayed in the wounded barracks for three days and still showed no signs of waking up. Chu Zhao took the initiative and moved him to his tent, saying that he and Xiao Chi would facilitate her treatment at the same time.

Murong Xiao always felt that this matter was a bit strange. Even if Xiao Chi was comatose from the poisoned arrow, why was General Xiao so injured even though he was trying to save someone from a fire?

But that day he was persuaded by Chu Zhao to go back to sleep. When he woke up, he heard that General Xiao was injured and unconscious. He didn't see the specific situation at all, and he couldn't confirm it even if he had doubts.

On the pretext of helping Chu Zhao take care of two sick people, Tie Chui guarded General Xiao day and night, and followed the method taught by Wang Baobao, often calling his name and talking to him.

Xiao Chi pretended to be sick during the day and could only get up and move around at night when no one was around, but because of the hammer, he couldn't have any intimate actions with Chu Zhao.

A few days later, when General Xiao's condition stabilized, Chu Zhao prepared a large carriage for him and Xiao Chi and ordered the team to set off again.

She wanted to get to a place closer to the capital as soon as possible so that Xiao Chi could fake his death and escape and sneak into the capital first.

During the march, Murong Xiao came over to take a look every day. Seeing that these two people were still awake, he felt even more strange.

In order to leave him no time to think too much, Chu Zhao gave him all the affairs of the army to take care of.

He is responsible for the daily food and drink expenses, all kinds of expenses, big and small.

Murong Xiao was impatient to do these things, so he had to ask Qi Fengshan to help.

As a result, Qi Fengshan was also very busy.

Wang Baobao is responsible for spreading rumors every day. According to him, General Xiao's condition is getting worse day by day, and he is about to die.

Jin Yuwei, who is responsible for inquiring about information, passes new information to Feng Guanlan every day.

Feng Guanlan finally arranged everything. On a rainy day, he quietly left the capital in a carriage. His carefully selected substitute was responsible for sitting in the palace for him.

The double has been his confidant for many years and is familiar with his temper and habits. He is also familiar with the affairs in the court. He is able to deal with any emergencies and can last for a month or two.

Moreover, their Jinyuwei transmit news very quickly. Even if there is something that cannot be dealt with, they can still communicate through letters.

Feng Guanlan was very confident in his arrangement, so he left without any worries.

After leaving Beijing, in order to meet Chu Zhao as soon as possible, he took a boat south by water and arrived in Dezhou ten days later. He disembarked from Dezhou Pier and went to the Jingnan military camp stationed outside Dezhou City in the name of Jinyuwei Qianhu Shen Qinglang.

When he arrived at the camp, it was just after five o'clock, and the soldiers had breakfast and were getting ready to set off.

Chu Zhao gave General Xiao another injection. As soon as he cleaned and disinfected the needle and put it into the needle box, soldiers came outside to report that Master Zhangyin heard that General Xiao was seriously injured and ordered Jinyu Guard Qianhu Shen Qinglang to come here. visit.

Chu Zhao had heard Feng Guanlan talk about Shen Qinglang, but he had never met him. When he heard that this person came to visit, he thought that Feng Guanlan probably didn't believe that Xiao Chi was really injured, so he specifically asked him to come and find out the truth.

So she opened the needle box again, sat next to Xiao Chi, and pretended to give Xiao Chi acupuncture.

In order to make Xiao Chi look terminally ill, she used concoction to disguise Xiao Chi's face every day.

Xiao Chi's face was smeared with concoction. It looked sallow and lifeless. Anyone who looked at it would think that he would die soon.

While giving him the needle, Chu Zhao called Xu Hui: "This is your grandson, it's your turn to play."

Xu Hui is the founder of Jinyuwei, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the ancestor of Jinyuwei. When he heard Chu Zhao say this, he smiled and responded: "Okay, then let me meet this grandson for a while. !”

The soldiers received Chu Zhao's order and brought Feng Guanlan, who was disguised as Shen Qinglang.

At this time, the morning sun had just revealed half of its face, and the sky was full of red clouds outside the tent. Chu Zhao and Xu Hui heard the soldiers' report and looked outside the tent door.

In the glow of the sky, a young man stood against the light. He was shaped like a bamboo, with sparse eyebrows. He was wearing a bright red embroidered gold flying fish suit and an embroidered spring sword on his waist. He was very majestic and handsome.

Chu Zhao was in a daze, and somehow he remembered the first time he met He Yunjie in Wuzhou.

At that time, He Yunjie pretended to be the commander of the Jinyu Guards, Feng Guanlan, and appeared in front of him in this outfit.

At first, she really thought he was Feng Guanlan, but later she found out that he was fake.

Later, after Chu Zhao met the real Feng Guanlan, he discovered that He Yunjie's imitation was indeed lifelike and penetrating.

As for the Jinyu Guard Qianhu Shen Qinglang in front of her, her first impression was that she looked a bit like Feng Guanlan who was imitated by He Yunjie.

Chu Zhao suspected that he was suffering from hysteria, and when he saw a man wearing a flying fish suit, he thought of Feng Guanlan.

She composed herself, got rid of this strange thought, and waited quietly for the young man to speak first.

Feng Guanlan hadn't seen Chu Zhao for more than a year, and he was quite excited when he saw him.

Compared with more than a year ago, Chu Zhao has become more calm, sophisticated, radiant, and has a stronger aura.

Thinking of Chu Zhao's careful teaching and tacit cooperation with him during those days in the capital, he even missed the feeling at that time.

If he hadn't chosen a retrograde path, he would really be willing to be friends, confidants, and even grandparents with her.

But they met at the wrong time. At that time, after years of planning, he had reached the point where there was no turning back.

So I can only live up to her trust.

"Shen Qinglang, a member of Qianhu of Jinyu Guards, has met the regent."

Feng Guanlan's heart was filled with ups and downs, but he didn't show anything on his face. He entered the tent and knelt down on one knee to Chu Zhao. His altered voice was clear and clean, which fit Shen Qinglang's temperament and image very well.

"Get up, Shen Qianhu has been working hard all the way." Chu Zhao withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and focused on giving Xiao Chi acupuncture, "I am performing acupuncture on General Xiao, and it is inconvenient to say more to Shen Qianhu, so Clan Master Xu will entertain you on my behalf. !”

Master Xu?

Feng Guanlan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at the man standing next to Chu Zhao.

The man dressed in white, with gentle eyebrows and a faint smile on his lips, was looking towards him.

But such a gentle person seemed to have a knife hidden in his eyes, and the eyes that glanced at him were so cold that it made his heart feel chilly.

Where did this leader of the Xu clan come from?

Before he could think about it, Xu Hui had already spoken: "Did Shen Qianhu come here specifically to see General Xiao?"

Feng Guanlan came back to her senses and felt an inexplicable pressure when she met his gentle but hidden sharp eyes.

"Yes." He clasped his fists and said, "Shen happened to be on errands nearby recently. Master Zhangyin heard that General Xiao was in danger, so he wrote a letter asking me to come and visit him."

As he spoke, he walked towards Xiao Chi's bed, wanting to see Xiao Chi's appearance and injuries up close.

Before he could get closer, Xu Hui suddenly said quietly: "If you came here specifically to visit, why did you come empty-handed?"

Feng Guanlan choked and looked a little embarrassed.

Chu Zhao and Xiao Chi, who was lying there pretending to be dead, almost couldn't help laughing.

Xu Hui is not like this usually, and his sudden remarks are really funny.

Feng Guanlan was a little annoyed that he had not thought of this. He immediately explained: "Shen came in a hurry and forgot to bring a gift. Please forgive me the Prince Regent."

Xu Hui sneered: "Back then, the Jinyu Guards were the emperor's guard of honor, but now I don't even understand the most basic etiquette. It seems that your commanding ability is really limited. A good royal guard will be defeated. It’s in his hands.”

Feng Guanlan was speechless.

Isn’t it because I didn’t bring a gift? Why did it rise to such a high level?

He also belittled him and said he was incompetent.

This guy, who does he think he is?
