The evening wind blew the wind chimes hanging under the eaves, and the crisp and melodious voice guided Gu Junci to gradually walk out of the boundless darkness.

When he opened his eyes, Xiao Yu's joyful face appeared in his blurred vision. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't hear what he said.

Gu Junci closed his eyes again, only then did he hear a faint voice, it was Xiao Yu's, calling for Brother Junci.

He opened his eyes again and looked at Xiao Yu who was weeping with joy, and wanted to reach out to touch his head, but found that the injury on his lower back was affecting him, and he woke up from the pain.

Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Brother Junci, don't move, the doctor is coming soon, you bear with it."

As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, someone rushed into the room. Gu Junci raised his eyes and looked at the person who was walking in the front, unavoidably startled: "Third Brother..."

Huo Qingling stood in front of the bed, the worry in his expression gradually dissipated, and hurriedly ordered the doctor behind him to come and treat Gu Junci.

"Now the Thirteenth Taibao's high fever has subsided and he woke up. There is nothing serious about it. Next, he only needs to take a few doses of medicine to heal the wound, and he will recover soon." The doctor said, and then Xiao Yu followed the doctor Go out and go to boil medicine.

Gu Junci just watched them talk quietly, presumably it was uncomfortable lying on the stomach, and he struggled several times to get up but was stopped.

It wasn't until after the doctor left that Huo Qingling sat by the bed, looked at Gu Junci who was full of doubts, and said softly:

"It was my people who went hunting in the mountains and met the Fourth Young Master Xiao. He asked for help with a man covered in blood. That's why I picked you up. The doctor said that you had a high fever caused by excessive blood loss, and you have been in a coma for three days. Every day, that Fourth Young Master Xiao stays by the bed every day, he is a good boy."

Gu Jun said: "Then...the head of Xie Zichong?"

Huo Qingling got up, bowed respectfully to him and bowed deeply: "Junci, as a person who inherited the king's title, all I can do is guard the mausoleum for my adoptive father, take care of my adoptive mother, and spend the rest of my life in desolation, but you don't care about that. The grievances between the brothers, and revenge for the adoptive father, I feel that I owe you a lot for my brother."

Gu Junci wanted to get up, but he had to stop because of the pain. He said: "Third brother, I have no relatives and no reason here. My adoptive father treats me like a parent and son, and he has the kindness to know me, so this enemy is very special to me." It is impossible to report."

Huo Qingling nodded with tears in his eyes and said: "Your foster father has always said that you are a person who values ​​love and righteousness. At first I was hesitant, but later I believed it. The person your foster father sees is definitely not wrong. Now the Xiao family in Lanling After gaining Chang'an, Second Young Master Xiao's reputation for benevolence and love has spread far and wide, and he has treated his relatives kindly to his former court, so I think that the whole world will fall into Xiao's hands in the near future."

Gu Junci closed his eyes and pondered, and finally said after a long while: "Ah Yuan is not easy, I want to go back to Chang'an quickly, I am not at ease with him, I am really worried."

Huo Qingling wiped away tears and smiled slightly: "Yes, the two of you have a deep relationship, and you are inseparable from each other. You have a good life, and I will tell you to go back to Chang'an earlier."

Gu Junci nodded in response, and after watching Huo Qingling leave the room, he pulled the quilt on his chest a little bit. After lying down for a long time, his chest was tight and short of breath, and he was really uncomfortable.

The wind chimes under the eaves were still making crisp sounds, Xiao Yu walked in with a medicine bowl in hand and said:

"There was a lot of wind tonight, and I think it will rain heavily tomorrow."

"Maybe it's a sunny day." Gu Jun resigned.

Xiao Yu stood and thought for a while, but he didn't know how to refute, so he didn't care much, he just put down the medicine bowl, and said: "The doctor said, brother Junci, you are overworked, and you have lost too much blood, so this There are also a lot of blood-enriching herbs in the medicine, so you can't stop drinking it because of bitterness."

"Thank you." Gu Junci said looking at him.

Xiao Yu froze for a moment, then touched his head, sat beside Gu Junci and said, "I have been weak since childhood, and the doctor said it was a disease brought about by the womb, which could not be cured, so my brothers never He refuses to take me to play, only my second brother, only he is willing to take me to play, but he also refuses to accompany me to practice martial arts. He thinks that I am weak and afraid of getting tired. He always thinks that I am a porcelain doll, but Jun Ci Brother won't, it's fun to practice martial arts with me, I like brother Junci very much, so I treat you as my own brother, you are not allowed to say thank you to me."

Gu Junci stared at Xiao Yu's shining eyes, and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I won't say thank you, but if you call me brother, you will naturally be my real brother."

Xiao Yu smiled brilliantly. After watching Gu Junci drink the medicine, he slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, Brother Junci told me to take the wooden box that Xie Suiyun gave you. If someone makes a mistake, I keep it on my body all the time, brother Junci, take a look and see if there is anything missing."

Gu Junci watched as Xiao Yu brought the wooden box, put it on the small stool in front of him, and opened the lid.

He looked solemn, and he didn't know whether it was because of the bitterness of the medicine, or because he thought of Xie Suiyun when he looked at these objects. He reached out and picked up the wrist crossbow in the wooden box and looked carefully: "Ayu, look for this wooden box. What kind of mechanism is hidden."

Xiao Yu looked shocked: "Secret mechanism?"

Gu Jun said: "I always feel that Xie Suiyun didn't send me these old things for no reason. Besides, when I returned the things back, the wooden box I used was not big."

Xiao Yu listened to Gu Junci's words, and hurriedly turned over the objects in the wooden box. He didn't know what he touched, but he heard the sound of something popping out. Gu Junci hurriedly asked Xiao Yu to hug the wooden box stand up.

However, what was left on the small stool was a square box. Inside the box was an object wrapped in bright yellow silk. Gu Junci carefully took out the object and opened it. It suddenly appeared in front of him.

Gu Junci looked shocked, and met Xiao Yu's eyes: "It's really here."

Xiao Yu: "No wonder... No wonder they broke into the Jinling Imperial City, but they didn't find the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and some people thought that Xie Zi was lying."

Gu Junci held the Jade Seal that seemed to weigh a thousand catties in his hand, and the image of Xie Suiyun's final battle with him repeatedly appeared in his mind.

Xie Suiyun gave him the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom on purpose, and stopped them alone in front of the imperial city. Apart from buying time for Xie Zichong to escape, he might also want to protect Gu Junci from getting the Jade Seal of the Kingdom of Chuan.

"Xie Suiyun..." Gu Junci murmured his name, and the image of him when he was injured by his broken moon repeatedly appeared in his mind.

At that moment, Gu Junci truly felt that he had lost someone who seemed to be very important to him.

... "Hey, you are the guard sent by His Majesty to protect the princess, Gu Junci?"...

When we first met, Xie Suiyun's arrogant appearance appeared in Gu Junci's mind, it had never been so clear as now, and then slowly, it was blown away by the wind.

It was only then that Gu Junci truly felt that there would never be that duplicity Xie Suiyun in the world anymore.

Afterwards, Gu Junci recuperated for three or four days at the place where Huo Qingling Shouling lived, until the doctor said that he recovered from his injury very quickly, as long as the wound did not open again, it would be fine.

Both Gu Junci and Xiao Yu were worried about the Daliang army going back to Chang'an, and also worried about Xiao Yuan who was far away in Chang'an, so after they were able to walk on the ground, they first went to pay homage to the Linyang King who was buried here, and then prepared to set off for the Chang'an.

In front of the carriage at the intersection, Huo Qingling looked at Gu Junci with a warm expression, cupped his fists at him and said, "I don't know when we will meet again after this farewell, take care."

Gu Junci took a look at the carriage and said with a smile: "Third brother, you can use a horse, you don't need a carriage."

Huo Qingling immediately turned his face, and said seriously: "Pay attention to your injury, don't forget what the doctor said, and, to the other brothers, I have already sent a message to explain the misunderstanding. If there is a chance to meet in the future, I hope you don't hate them."

Gu Junci nodded seriously, and clasped his fists in return: "Then I'll be leaving, third brother, take care."

Huo Qingling smiled and nodded, then looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Young Master Xiao treats people with sincerity, and I hope to see you again in the future."

Xiao Yu looked back at Huo Qingling with a smile, cupped his fists and saluted, then escorted Gu Junci into the carriage, and then drove away.

It was already five days later when Gu Junci and the others joined Yang Junfang and the others.

As soon as their carriage drove into the camp where they were stationed, Xiao Jue came out of the barracks, with an angry face, pointing at Gu Jun who had just got off the carriage and said:

"Gu Junci! Do you still know how to come back! As the commander-in-chief of the first army, leaving without authorization caused the army's morale to be almost slackened. If we were defeated in Jinling this time, would you be guilty of it? I will report it immediately after returning to Beijing." Your fault, Father Ming, not only lost the jade seal of Chuanguo, but also left the camp without authorization, and secretly communicated with the enemy country!"

Facing Xiao Jue pointing his nose at the accusation, Gu Junci didn't take it seriously, but Yang Junfang who came after him looked around, bowed to Gu Junci and said, "Don't blame the general, although you have left these few days In the realm of Jinling, there are other aristocratic families who are eyeing it, so His Royal Highness Xian Wang is so impatient."

"How is the battle going?" Gu Jun asked.

"It's not a defeat." Yang Junfang's answer was also sonorous and forceful.

Gu Junci nodded and smiled slightly: "Sure enough, he is under Ah Yuan's command. He has not lost a single defeat and deserves to be commended."

"Is the general injured?" Yang Junfang looked at his face and asked concerned, "Should I summon the military doctor to take a look?"

Gu Junci nodded: "It seems that my old injury has recurred after sitting in the carriage for the past few days. I will wait for you in the tent."

After Yang Junfang got the order, he turned around and went to the military doctor's residence. Seeing Gu Junci ignoring him so much, Xiao Jue jumped even more anxiously. After finally finding his fault, he naturally refused to let it go. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu stopped him. said in front of him:

"Third brother, you can't finish it. Brother Junci was injured and needs to recuperate. Since the third brother will report to the father after returning to Chang'an, then he should write a memorial now instead of blaming brother Junci. "

"Xiao Yu!" Xiao Jue looked at him furiously, "What kind of ecstasy soup did he feed you? You actually helped an outsider to talk to your brother like that!"

"If the third brother looks like an older brother and has the responsibilities that a prince should have, instead of just scolding others when things happen like this, third brother, have you made any achievements since you left for the expedition? How can you be worthy of it?" Father's order!"

Facing Xiao Yu's rebuttal, Xiao Jue just looked at him straight, not knowing how to refute for a while.

Xiao Yu didn't pay attention to it any more, just helped Gu Junci to walk into the tent.

"He is your third brother after all. If he scolds me, I will scold me back, and he can't do anything to me." Gu Junci persuaded Xiao Yu softly.

But Xiao Yu snorted softly: "I just can't understand his appearance, it's really annoying."
