Quick Wear: When the Affectionate Male Supporting Character Gets the Script of a Cool Stories
Chapter 86 The Maverick Traveler (86)
[Today is two chapters in one chapter]
In the carriage, the charcoal stove kept the interior warm.
Su Huai woke up with a frown on his face. Without waiting to see where he was, he suddenly sat up and asked, "Wei Zheng! Where's Wei Zheng?"
He didn't cry out in pain even when his head hit the roof of the carriage. A pair of hands reached out and gently rested on his shoulders.
"Ah Huai, calm down, Wei Zheng has already..."
Only then did Su Huai see clearly that he was in a carriage, and the person accompanying him was Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu's words made his heart tremble, and he grabbed him with trembling hands: "What happened to him? Where is Wei Zheng?!"
"He was...sent to a mass grave not long ago," Jiang Xu lowered his eyes and soothed him, "I have sent someone to take his body away and bury it properly."
"What kind of burial?! I haven't even seen his body, how could he be dead? He was a healthy man, how could he just..."
Su Hui paused, took a deep breath, his whole body trembling, and tears had already accumulated and fallen from his eyes without him noticing.
"How...how come..."
"Dead?"
Scenes from the past appeared before my eyes and in my ears.
It was also a snowy day. After school, they walked towards their residence in Xueziyuan.
With every step, he left a footprint in the snow. Snow fell on him. Wei Zheng raised his hand to brush it away. Looking at his hair, he paused and raised the corner of his lips: "Ah Huai, do you think we will grow old together?"
He was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "It's just snow, can you not be so childish? If this is considered growing old together, then what about those old people who truly grew old together?"
The young man grabbed his shoulder and said, "No matter what, in my heart this is the end of our lives. We will definitely grow old together in the future!"
"Ahuai, why don't you say anything? Don't you want to..." The young Wei Zheng pretended to be aggrieved.
He had no choice but to sigh softly: "I want to."
Pulling himself away from the memories, Su Huai burst into laughter while crying.
"Growing old together..."
"What does it mean to grow old together?"
"Wei Zheng, you really don't keep your word!"
"Ahuai, you..." Jiang Xu's eyes were full of worry.
"I'm fine," Su Hui raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Thank you for coming, but why are you here?"
Jiang Xu said: "Commander Leng felt that it was inappropriate for him to send you back home, so he sent someone to inform me."
Su Hui nodded: "Thank you."
After saying these two words, he said nothing more and walked back to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion in silence.
When getting out of the car, Jiang Xu opened the door and called him, "If you're unhappy, don't hold it in. Come to the palace and have a drink with me!"
The thin figure in the snow paused, "...Okay."
Back in the car, Jiang Xu sighed deeply.
It's one thing to know everything from a God's perspective, but it's another thing to see your friends suffer so much with your own eyes.
The carriage turned around and left through the back alley of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and stopped after a while.
The door was opened from the outside, and a handsome man in black fox fur got into the carriage amid the wind and snow outside.
After warming his hands in front of the charcoal stove for a while, Helan Jue approached Jiang Xu and held his hand.
Jiang Xu, however, stuffed the hand warmer into his hand, avoiding his hand.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Helan Jue was puzzled.
"You..." Jiang Xu took a deep breath and sighed, "I'm a little depressed right now, so please don't kiss, hug or hold hands for now."
Helan Jue frowned and thought for a moment: "Because of Su Huai?"
Jiang Xu snorted lightly, tilted his head and leaned against the soft cushion inside the carriage, glancing at him sideways: What do you think?
Helan Jue could understand it intellectually but could not accept it emotionally. However, to show respect, he sat back in his original seat.
The dark fox fur and white clothes made him look even more cold and noble. The snow seemed to be born for him and was his best foil.
"Without this, the things between them will never be eliminated." Helan Jue said calmly, "Besides, this is Wei Zheng's own decision. You and I have no right to interfere in their affairs."
Jiang Xu sighed and said nothing.
Although he had no right to interfere, he felt guilty about concealing the fact despite knowing the truth, but he was unable to express it in words for the time being.
Ever since he fell in love, his perception of the plot world has been completely different from before.
In the past, he only felt that all the people and things he met were for the plot and the mission, and that he was just a supporting actor who needed to be a stepping stone or assist in love, and he just had to revolve around the protagonist, and nothing else had anything to do with him.
Now that he has walked through every world in person, he only needs to be himself, and it seems that he can no longer treat everyone he meets as just data.
What is this thing next to him?
Jiang Xu tilted his head and stared at Helan Jue's face, which was so superior that it seemed like the most perfect sculpture created by the Creator, for a while. He couldn't figure it out, so he gave up.
It's good that it's him.
"Is there something on my face?"
Helan Jue noticed his gaze and raised his hand to touch the side of his face. His bony fingers were so beautiful.
Qingjun's eyebrows twitched slightly, his eyes were obviously very calm, with only a hint of doubt in them, but when he looked over, Jiang Xu felt excited.
Jiang Xu nodded: "Yes."
Helan Jue: "What?"
Jiang Xu curled his lips slightly: "Beautiful."
Helan Jue was silent for a while, and felt that this word was more appropriate for Jiang Xu himself.
Noticing that the sound of the wind and snow outside was getting louder, Jiang Xu lifted the curtain and took a look outside: "Tsk, it's worthy of being in the north. It can still snow in March. Such a cold snowy day is very suitable for eating hot pot."
Before I could watch for long, a hand reached out from behind and covered the thick car curtain again.
"Be careful of catching a cold."
Helan Jue leaned forward and then retracted it, "I asked a craftsman to print out the blueprint for the mandarin duck pot you drew a few days ago."
"That's great," Jiang Xu's emotions, which had just become intense, calmed down again. "Forget it, let's wait until everything is over and call everyone to come together."
Helan Jue thought of the noisy person in the mansion looking forward to the double-flavored hotpot, and smiled lightly without saying anything.
Jiang Xu also keenly understood Helan Jue's point from his micro-expressions, "Ah... Forgot about Shen Chan, never mind, it's not important, let Xiao Guyuan get him up early to practice martial arts more often."
As a ghost doctor, Shen Chan's own physical fitness is actually not as good as some of his patients, which is also a worrying thing.
Especially it worries the elegant leader Xiao.
Helan Jue asked Xingchen Pavilion to find Shen Chan to make medicine, and the person was detained in the leader's residence as he expected.
Due to the urgency of the situation, the people sent by the Xingchen Pavilion could not take care of many things, and with Shen Chan's instigation, they ran away overnight.
It took less than a day for them to reach Prince Dingbei's Palace after traveling day and night, when Alliance Leader Xiao caught up with them and the two of them stayed in the Palace.
One said that he had been to so many places but had never seen the prosperous Kyoto, and he wanted to stay longer.
The other thing, of course, is to keep a close eye on him, to prevent him from attracting any unwanted romantic interest while practicing medicine.
Jiang Xu said that he had found another couple and they were quite interesting.
It was just that Helan Jue was not very happy, because Shen Chan always dragged him to discuss medical skills, especially after Shen Chan took Helan Jue's pulse, he almost wanted to chase Jiang Xu and talk until midnight to ask him how he detoxified him.
Helan Jue directly brought up Xiao Guyuan as a reinforcement, and Shen Chan reluctantly returned to his courtyard.
Thinking of the chaos at home, Jiang Xu couldn't help but smile, looked at the people around him and said, "After today, we will surface."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." The man held his hand and said gently.
"Afraid? When have you ever seen me afraid?" Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows to express his dissatisfaction.
A mischievous light flashed across Helan Jue's beautiful phoenix eyes: "At night."
Jiang Xu: “…”
After setting up the trap for such a long time and luring in a group of the four princes' followers, the next step is to seduce the crown prince.
The famous Weibei Marquis Mansion was ransacked, the Fourth Prince was stripped of his imperial title, and imprisoned in a prisoner's mansion for life. The situation in the court suddenly seemed to be dominated by the Crown Prince's family alone.
After this heavy snow, many things in the capital city changed, and some of the news in the capital seemed to contain a piece of information related to the Dingbei Palace.
It seemed that Prince Dingbei's health had indeed improved after he got married to bring good luck, and the imperial physician who took his pulse also concluded that the remaining poison in Prince Dingbei's body was gradually clearing away.
But this piece of news seemed unimportant amidst all those unexpected events, and many people just listened to it.
Anyway, even if Yu Du is cured, the leg disease that has lasted for many years cannot be cured. I have never seen anyone with a broken leg healed.
But as April passed, the news spread more and more.
It is said that a miracle doctor came to the Dingbei Palace and treated the prince every day, and the prince was able to walk!
This matter spread to the people after the Southern Emperor held a spring banquet in the palace. God knows what kind of surprised expressions the officials and royal relatives had when Helan Jue and Jiang Xu walked into the public eye while standing on their legs at the banquet.
The Queen was so shocked that she dropped the cup in her hand.
Only His Majesty the Emperor was extremely happy. His complexion, which had been bedridden for several days, had improved a lot, and he even invited Prince Dingbei and his wife to stay in the palace for a while.
There was a happy atmosphere in the palace, except for the Empress and her son.
May, the 56th year of the Southern Yuan Dynasty.
Outside the suburbs of Beijing, a galloping horse came with urgent news from the northern border that Peizhou had been lost, the Turks had invaded again, and were now attacking in the direction of Xianzhou.
There was an uproar throughout the government and the country. It had only been a few years, and the Turks' wolfish ambitions could no longer be suppressed!
But the father and son of the Wei family had already died, one of them was beheaded and the other was given poisoned wine. Although there were many generals in the army now, none of them could intimidate the Turkic generals.
It was precisely because of this that Peizhou was lost so quickly. The Turks learned of the great changes in the southern court and knew that there were no talented generals at that time, so they gathered a large Turkish army and captured Peizhou, one of the Sixteen Prefectures of Northern Yan.
Peizhou was not rich, but it was a city that could be attacked or defended. This was because Helan Jue had just taken a break to recuperate after pacifying the Turks, but was then trampled upon by the iron hooves of the Turks again.
"Your Majesty, the Wei family has been executed, and the army is now without a commander. Why not promote the acting commander He Lishan to commander-in-chief and order him to send troops to the Turks to recapture Peizhou!"
"No, He Lishan is old now. He guarded the sixteen states of Yanbei and was unable to detect the movements of Peizhou. How can he take Peizhou back?"
"What should we do? Should we appoint a new general from the capital to lead the troops? Even if we travel day and night, it will take at least three days to reach Peizhou. Three days is enough for the Turkic vanguard army to capture Xianzhou!"
"Master Quan, what you said is really too much to encourage others and destroy your own prestige!"
"Can military deployment be decided based on a few words without even thinking about it? This is not just a paper talk. You civilian officials don't know that time is tight on the battlefield and a small variable can change the situation!"
The court officials in the main hall were arguing endlessly, causing the Southern Emperor to have a splitting headache.
When the military report from the border was brought to the capital, the court officials were summoned to discuss the matter before dawn, but there was still no conclusion until dawn.
"That's enough! What's the point of making so much noise?!"
The emperor was angry, and the arguments below subsided a little.
The Southern Emperor glanced at them unhappily, his eyes sweeping over the Crown Prince who had been silent on the side. As for the other princes behind the Crown Prince, he felt even more headache after just one look at them.
Although his descendants are not numerous, they are quite a few. Now, apart from the crown prince, there is no one worth mentioning.
If not for this, he would not have just ignored the last assassination attempt in Qibei Mountain.
Not checking is to give both parties room.
He Lanyun heard this and walked out from the line of princes, bowed and said: "The Turks must have known about the changes in our dynasty when they came to invade this time, and they are sure that our dynasty has no capable generals to use. I am also familiar with military books, and I have followed my sixteenth uncle to see the border battlefield many years ago. Now that the border is in danger, I am willing to lead the troops to the border in person, and let the Turks see that my father is not without people to use!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the court again.
Although he did not lead the army in person, the status of the crown prince was extremely noble. As the heir to the throne, if anything went wrong at the border, wouldn't the turmoil in the court and the country be even greater?
While some people were worried, Helan Yun's words reminded them of a more suitable candidate.
Sixteenth uncle, isn’t that the god of war, King Dingbei, who pacified the border and made the Turks tremble in fear?
Yes, the King of Dingbei created a miracle on the battlefield in the past, and now he has also created a miracle on himself. Not only did he detoxify, but his legs were also cured. Although he still stays at home and rarely goes out, his elegance and grace are not diminished at all!
"Your Majesty, the King of Dingbei is now in good health and still in his prime. He is the most suitable candidate for this battle!"
"It was King Dingbei who recovered the border back then, and King Dingbei can still do it now!"
"How can your highness, the crown prince, with his golden body, go to the battlefield? The King of Dingbei is the best candidate!"
The court officials echoed the sentiment one after another, not noticing that the Southern Emperor's expression on the dragon throne darkened for a moment.
Back then, Helan Jue almost lost his life on the battlefield, but these people seemed to have completely forgotten about it!
After listening to the people below shouting for a long time, the Southern Emperor finally asked Prime Minister Su: "What do you think of this matter, Mr. Su? Do you also think that the King of Dingbei is the best candidate?"
Prime Minister Su stepped out and said, "Although the Crown Prince is willing to serve his country, when it comes to the battlefield, talking on paper is not enough. The Prince of Dingbei is indeed the best candidate, but I don't know if his body can withstand it. This matter still needs to be discussed, and the prince's consent must be obtained."
Hearing this, Helan Yun's expression changed slightly for a moment, and the Southern Emperor's expression did look better.
"That's it, let's withdraw!"
The Southern Emperor ended the debate with a wave of his hand and asked Eunuch Gao to summon Helan Jue into the palace.
The border is in danger, and looking at the fat and bloated generals in the court, he really has no one to use.
But who to recruit is his business. Don't think that he can't see through the little thoughts of those in the court. Most of those who proposed to send King Dingbei to the battlefield are from the prince's party.
Including the prince himself!
