Uncle Guo

Liang Xuanchen was unaware of the upper body of Emperor Tai-zu, not to mention King Ning, even he himself felt panicked, and said that the headache might be an evil, and he wanted King Ning to quickly hire someone to do something.

His illness is obviously not serious, and since that upper body, he has been lying in the house all day long, and he can't even get out of bed.

King Ning also had no choice. Princess Ning heard about it, and immediately invited monks and priests from outside to do the ritual together. For a while, there were countless people in and out of the yard.

On the second day after finishing the ceremony, King Ning came to visit Uncle Guo again. As a result, the person on the bed lay there and refused to show others. King Ning felt that something was wrong. you?!"

Chang Qinghe stared at King Ning, "Uncle Guo has been pretending to be sick these days."

"What about others?"

"Yu Anyi went to find the person who responded. Many of the Taoist priests and monks invited outside were fake. Last night, Uncle Guo wore a Taoist robe and pretended to be a Taoist priest and left in the dark. I guess he has already arrived at the pier by now. Oh, do you think he should go to Miao Jiang to treat his eyes first, or go back to the capital to sue the imperial court first?"

King Ning's complexion changed drastically, and he called the guards and cursed at him, ordering them to go to the pier immediately to catch up.

Prince Ning's mansion was in chaos, Chang Qinghe was wearing Liang Xuanchen's white robe, lowered his head and sniffed, it seemed that his smell still lingered on it.

Last night, there was a lot of noise inside and outside the courtyard. Monks and priests came and went, and they could still quarrel with each other. Chang Qinghe watched coldly, and the guards had already been attracted to him. At this time, Lin Mingcheng in a Taoist robe suddenly walked into his room, threw Give him a little burden.

"Put on his clothes and pretend to be him in the house to buy some time."

Chang Qinghe understood, "He can't see, is there someone outside to help him?"

"Yu Anyi took the imperial decree I brought out from the capital, and went to the people in the yamen. The inspector here knew that Uncle Guo was under house arrest by King Ning, and agreed to come to rescue him."

Chang Qinghe opened the bag, and inside was the white robe that Liang Xuanchen often wore. The two of them were about the same size, so he was the most suitable person to pretend to be Liang Xuanchen.

"We could have gone together, but someone has to stay behind and buy time for the third master, otherwise we won't be able to go very far. Once we are discovered..." Lin Mingcheng looked at him, "It's very dangerous to do this, if you don't Willing, not forced."

"I'll stay behind." Chang Qinghe heard himself say.

"Well, if there is a chance, we will definitely come back to save you."

Chang Qinghe smiled, not holding on to this hope.

He put on his robe, and followed Lin Mingcheng to the corridor under the eaves.The Taoist priests in the courtyard were chanting mantras eloquently, and the yellow talisman was attached to the high-hanging light. Suddenly, there was a loud "boom", and the flames shot up in the air, and the talisman on the peach wood sword tip also burned.The guards thought the trick was lively and beautiful, but the monks standing in a row next to it looked disdainful and even said it was a street juggling.

Taking advantage of the attention being attracted, Chang Qinghe and Lin Mingcheng took the opportunity to sneak into the next door. The moment the door was opened and closed, Liang Xuanchen was waiting in front of the door in Taoist robes. When he passed by, he couldn't see Chang Qinghe, but Chang Qinghe could see it. meet him.

"Be smart and run when you find the opportunity." Liang Xuanchen said.

Chang Qinghe only felt ashamed, he wanted to run after Lin Mingcheng, and let himself stay behind.

But what can be done?A scholar dies for his confidant, and a person like him does not give up his life to protect each other. Could it be that Liang Xuanchen died here?

He lay on the bed all night, the guard at the door looked over and saw Mr. Liang tossing and turning on the bed, so he didn't care.

Chang Qinghe feels that he is not even a urinal now, but a broken pot that is thrown away when it is used up.He didn't hate him, he was willing to stay, who told him not to be Gu Changfeng or Lin Mingcheng?

King Ning led his troops out of the mansion to chase after Liang Xuanchen, Chang Qinghe collapsed on the bed, wondering if he should run away at this time, the security inside and outside the courtyard is the time when the security is the most relaxed, it is easier to escape than what he did yesterday.I am a small person, if I don't run away, people will kill me with a single knife, and if I run away, people may not come to arrest me.

He thought for a while, let's run, it's better to live than to die.

Walking to the door, one of the remaining guards was still guarding there. When Chang Qinghe came out, he looked nervous.

Chang Qinghe walked out in front of him, the guard shouted: "Wait!"

Chang Qinghe didn't turn his head back, he raised his hand, and the wind of his palm swept across, killing him with one blow, the guard only blinked his eyes, the place where his hands were covering his throat was already speechless.

As soon as he entered the courtyard again, another guard outside saw this scene.

Chang Qinghe walked straight over, the guard subconsciously backed away, but there was a wall behind him, he had no way to avoid it, Chang Qinghe didn't turn his head to look at him when he crossed his body.

Now the defense in Prince Ning's Mansion is useless, the three-legged cat skills of these guards are not enough to watch, Chang Qinghe walked all the way to the door, and there was no one to stop him.He was standing under the plaque of the palace, all alone, not knowing what to do, when suddenly a large group of people rushed out on the avenue in front of him, all wearing the official uniforms of the servants in the government office, the vassal king is not allowed to keep private soldiers, but there are servants in the government office , usually rely on these people to investigate cases and arrest criminals.

The leader is Lin Mingcheng. He is dressed in a green shirt and has a literati demeanor. He is also chic and romantic when riding on a horse. Seeing that Chang Qinghe was already at the gate of the palace, he couldn't help being surprised, and said happily: "Are you okay, King Ning actually let you out gone?"

Chang Qinghe took a look in the team. Liang Xuanchen was blind. If he wanted to ride a horse, he might need more practice. He had to have a horse with a spiritual connection, so he didn't come.

"You... came to save me?"

Lin Mingcheng said: "That's natural, how could the third master leave you alone in the palace."

"Where is the third master?"

"Qinghe!"

This call made Chang Qinghe almost shed tears. He saw a carriage approaching from the corner of the street, its axle rumbled across the avenue in front of the palace, and Liang Xuanchen came forward from the rear of the team. He was blind and unable to move, but he came anyway .

Lin Mingcheng went forward to meet him, "Didn't I tell you to wait at the yamen?"

Liang Xuanchen said: "I'm afraid that you, a scholar, will not be able to do such a thing as forcibly breaking into the palace." After saying that, he waved forward, "Qinghe, come here!"

The sound of Chang Qinghe's footsteps approached, Liang Xuanchen took another step forward and said loudly: "Are there any people in Prince Ning's Mansion alive? Come out!"

The servants in the mansion had just watched Chang Qinghe go out from afar, but at this moment they heard the commotion outside the door, and no one dared to step forward.

Liang Xuanchen's voice was full of air, and he knew that someone inside must have pricked up his ears to listen: "Tell His Royal Highness King Ning that 38 officials of all sizes from Xunyang Mansion have already reported to the court. The emperor's relatives are hostages, he is seeking his own death. I hope he will change his mind and quickly plead guilty to the court, the emperor may think of brotherhood and let him die!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and waved his sleeves: "Let's go!"

As a result, he walked aggressively, too fast and too hastily, with a "boom" his jaw hit Dikong's forehead blocking the way, Liang Xuanchen's teeth smashed Dikong's scalp, and Dikong held his forehead and screamed "Ouch".

Liang Xuanchen touched his jaw that was almost crooked, and cursed, "I'm blind, are you blind too!"

Before he could take two steps, his forehead hit the carriage beam with another "boom".

Chang Qinghe couldn't see it anymore, and wanted to rush forward to support him, but Feng Qi, Shui Kong, and Lin Mingcheng all rushed over to support him one step earlier.

The troops they brought with them were actually less than the private soldiers raised by King Ning's Mansion. It was expected that King Ning would go out to intercept people at the pier, so they took advantage of the emptiness of King Ning's Mansion to pick up Chang Qinghe. Run away, so as not to cause troubles. In a real fight, the servants of the government may not be able to fight against the slaves of the royal family.

So when he returned to the yamen, Liang Xuanchen dismissed the people on the spot, and planned to hire another low-key boat to continue westward. He did not depart from the large wharf in Xunyang Mansion, but only found a river beach that could barely dock. yes.

"Just leave like this? It's too cheap for King Ning." Dikong was dissatisfied, thinking that Mr. Liang had never suffered such a big loss in his life.

Liang Xuanchen is a sensible person, "It's okay, let's go. After the emperor has dealt with King Kang, he will come to deal with King Ning. I don't need to do it myself."

Everyone was in a hurry to pack their bags, and it was inconvenient to pick up all the things in Prince Ning's Mansion, so they could only buy some urgently needed ones. Daotai of Xunyang Mansion found a small boat for Uncle Guo, and everything was based on convenience.

King Ning was also very anxious that Liang Xuanchen could not be intercepted at the pier, but he was still a little apprehensive about bringing troops to besiege the Yamen of Xunyang Mansion, so he only sent a few spies to watch secretly.

Chang Qinghe went out for a walk, and came back to report the news to Liang Xuanchen.

Chang Qinghe said: "Third Lord, someone still has to stay behind, otherwise our boat will not be as fast as King Ning's boat, and I'm afraid he will catch up halfway."

Lin Mingcheng said: "Let's go first. After I'm here, I'm also sent by the imperial court to negotiate, so I have to go back and report."

Liang Xuanchen said: "How can this be done? It seems that King Ning is still a little afraid of the government office. We can stay here for a few days first. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term."

After discussing it for a while, they always felt that the reinforcements from the imperial court had to come over for this matter. Even the local garrisons, who usually had a good relationship with King Ning, might not be able to help them.There are a few more who dare to sell friendship with King Ning, and it is not good to use any method to force the Daotai of Xunyang Mansion to hand over Uncle Guo.There are mixed fish and dragons here, Liang Xuanchen even a mighty dragon can't beat King Ning, a local snake.However, it is really hard to say when the reinforcements from the imperial court will come, and waiting is not an option.

In the middle of the night, Chang Qinghe came to knock on the door. Liang Xuanchen was unable to move, so it was Lin Mingcheng who answered the door.

"Master Lin, can I let the young one and the third master have a few words in private."

Lin Mingcheng didn't know the relationship between his sweetheart and his servant. When he saw Dikong and Shuikong, he had some doubts. For some reason, he didn't think so when he looked at Chang Qinghe.He expected that Chang Qinghe was willing to sacrifice his life to protect the lord in Prince Ning's mansion. After this time, he probably wanted to be this dead man again, and he would always have a talk with Liang Xuanchen when he was parting.He was deeply moved by such a loyal servant, so he retreated out of the door very wisely.

Chang Qinghe had thought a lot these days, and he knew it was time to leave Liang Xuanchen, and it would only be worse if he continued to hold on.Now that Liang Xuanchen had Lin Mingcheng, he didn't want to talk to him any more, for fear that Lin Mingcheng would become suspicious.

When he walked into the house, Liang Xuanchen was still lying on the bed, pretending to be asleep in a daze.

"Third Master, I'm going to listen to you, leave you, go outside to make contributions, and make a fool of myself."

Liang Xuanchen was very pleased, nodded and said: "That's true, I am relieved that you are like this. You are still young, and you will always find someone you like in the future."

Chang Qinghe knelt down in front of the bed, held his hand, and pressed his face to his palm, "Third Master, before I leave, I want to tell you something."

After a pause, Liang Xuanchen said, "Speak, I'll listen."

"The person who poisoned and blinded you is me." Chang Qinghe heard his own voice very calm and calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
