Qi Kuo

Chapter 24

They walked side by side for a while, Gu Zhi just wanted to say: "Will you stay in the palace for a few days?" But before he could speak, Chen Ke said: "Oh, I have to go back to the house and pack up."

Gu Zhi was startled, and said, "It's so far away, you go back now?"

Chen Ke smiled: "How is that possible, just go to that courtyard in the city."

Gu Zhi didn't say anything else, and turned his head to Duke Hua, who was behind him again, and said, "I will pass on my order to hold a banquet in the palace tonight, and I will reward all the soldiers."

Eunuch Hua agreed with a smile on his face, and hurriedly walked towards the palace.

Gu Zhi walked with him for a while, looked at the sky, and said to Chen Ke: "I'll go back to the palace first, remember to come here."

Chen Ke nodded in response, and waved to him casually.Gu Zhi looked at him with a smile, telling him to go back and get ready, and then walked slowly towards the palace.

Chen Ke led his horse, wobbled towards a place in the city, passed through a busy market, and walked forward for a while, then stopped, stood in front of a hut and knocked on the door.

Not long after, an old woman complained from inside: "Who is knocking on the door at this hour?!"

As soon as the waiting door opened to reveal the person standing in front of the door, the old woman opened her mouth wide in surprise, and then shouted loudly into the yard: "Come out quickly! The general is back!!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of messy footsteps kicking and tapping, and two young men ran out from inside with smiles on their faces.

Chen Ke waved to them with a smile, and then said to the old woman in front of him: "Grandma Huang, I'm back."

The old woman took Chen Ke by the hand, led him into the house, and said to the young man who ran over: "Boss, go and tie the horse."

The young man named Boss was tanned all over. He was wearing a linen jacket with half-sleeves on his upper body, a gray dress on his lower body, and a thick belt around his waist. He looked extremely simple.

The boss came over to take the reins of the horse from Chen Ke's hand, and walked towards the stable with three steps.

Chen Ke followed them into the house, sat down and had a sip of tea, and said to the old woman: "Grandma Huang, can you clean up the room next to my room, someone may come to live today."

Granny Huang laughed and said, "Hey, let's go, let's go."

After Granny Huang left, Chen Ke called the second child who was standing aside and looked at him with open eyes, and asked him, "Did you study hard this year?"

The second child nodded, patted his chest and assured: "I have! I have learned everything my master taught me seriously."

Chen Ke looked at his swearing face and asked, "Oh? Then you can recite Mr. Yuzhang's Bodhisattva to me."

So the second child shook his head in front of him and said: "By the half-smoke and half-rain river bridge, the fisherman is drunk and no one is calling. How long is laziness, the spring breeze is fragrant..."

Chen Ke listened to him carrying the book with a smile, and drank tea while listening to the singing of birds outside the window.

It is said that when Zhao Jun's side was about to arrive in the capital, Luo Qize woke up Zhao Jun who was sleeping beside him, opened the curtains, pointed to the increasingly bustling scenery outside and said: "Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun, don't sleep, get up quickly , the capital is coming."

Zhao Jun rubbed his eyes in bewilderment, picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water. After he regained consciousness, he lay on the window and looked outside.

Yu Jianglin looked at him and said, "Little Zhao Jun, can you stay in the inn with my sister later?"

The rest of the people looked at her and said with disgust: "Don't, don't lead Xiao Zhaojun down!"

Yu Jianglin let out a "tsk" and retorted: "What do you mean being spoiled?! I mean let him experience the prosperity of the world!"

Zhuang Sheng said coldly on the side: "Hey, you still have time to be prosperous! But after a few days, Xiao Zhaojun no longer believes that there is such a thing as prosperity in the world!"

Yu Jianglin twitched the corner of his mouth, grabbed the nutshell in front of him, threw it on Zhuang Sheng, put his hands on his hips and said, "Have you ever seen the prosperity of the world?!"

Hu Chen watched the two of them bickering and laughed straight away, and said, "No, you two look at Zhao Jun, he hasn't made a statement yet?"

Yu Jianglin turned his head and asked Zhao Jun: "Little Zhao Jun, what do you think, I'll go with my sister, I'll eat and drink as much as I want!"

Zhao Jun laughed: "That's good!"

Yu Jiang raised his chin and said, "Zhuang Sheng, did you see that?"

Before Yu Jianglin was finished, he heard Zhao Jun add: "I will go with the others!"

The smile on Yu Jianglin's face froze, he turned around and rushed towards Zhao Jun, grabbed Zhao Jun's shoulder and shook vigorously, and said angrily: "Is there anyone who speaks like that and gasps for breath?!"

Seeing her grabbing Zhao Jun's shoulder, Luo Qize became anxious, grabbed Yu Jianglin's wrist, tried his best to release her, and shouted, "Hey, let go!"

The rest of the people sat on the other side, eating melon seeds and laughing as if they were watching a play.

When everyone arrived at Chen Ke's location with laughter and laughter, Chen Ke had already been waiting for a long time.

He watched everyone in the carriage come down laughing and joking, during which Yu Jianglin chased Zhao Jun around the carriage eager for revenge.

Chen Ke suddenly felt a headache.

He looked at the crowd helplessly, and then asked aloud, "Did you bring any extra clothes? We are going to have a holy face tonight."

So Tan originally wanted to say: "How could it be possible that you didn't bring any clothes!" After listening to the words, everyone except Chen Ke, Lin Zheng and Hu Chen fell into deep thought.

They had been traveling all over the rivers and lakes with only two sets of clothes on them, and the decision to return to Beijing this time was also accidental, and they didn't have any extra time to prepare.

Chen Ke started laughing seeing them like this, took out a money bag from nowhere, shook it in his hand, and said: "I brought Zhao Jun, he, I am in charge... As for you, you can do it yourself." solve."

Liu Benmo folded his arms and said, "White-eyed wolf."

Hearing what he said, Chen Ke asked him: "Have you raised me? White-eyed wolf?"

Liu Benmo looked at the people coming and going in the alley, and said, "Isn't it counting if we help you fight?"

Chen Ke smiled and said: "In the current situation, I can only afford one person, and you are better than me once you arrive in the capital, so it is impossible for you to afford a piece of clothing. As for Yuan Ming you……"

Yuan Ming looked at him and said, "I don't need to worry about it, it's still okay."

Chen Ke didn't worry anymore, and said: "That's it, let's go, unload the things on the car first, and I will ask them to send them back for you." Where to send it as soon as you order it.

After everything was ready, Chen Ke walked in front and said, "Let's go shopping for clothes."

Maybe Chen Ke hasn't been back for a long time. When he stepped into Biyun Pavilion, the proprietress stared at him for a long time before covering her mouth and saying, "General Chen?!"

Chen Ke nodded slightly to her, pulled Zhao Jun who was standing behind him in a daze, and said to the proprietress: "Madam proprietress, please help me find a dress for this kid."

The proprietress pulled Zhao Jun over for a closer look. Zhao Jun was quite uncomfortable looking at her, and slightly turned his head under her gaze, showing some reluctance on his face.

The proprietress was not annoyed either, she knew in her heart that the people who could come to her Biyun Pavilion were either rich or powerful, or both.Although the young man in front of him is not very eye-catching when looking at the clothes on his body, but his body has a unique indifferent and unruly temperament, and in the indifference is a faint hostility.I don't know who raised the little son.

He took Zhao Jun to the second floor, and said as he walked: "My lord, please come with me. Biyun Pavilion may not guarantee perfection, but it will definitely satisfy you."

Zhao Jun followed her step by step to the second floor, during which Chen Ke said: "We will choose by ourselves, and we will use whatever we think is good. Yu Jianglin, how about you?"

He didn't hear what Yu Jianglin said, and he was already on the second floor in a blink of an eye.

He looked up and saw the dark coat hanging in the middle.The base is pure white, with a verdant Clivia embroidered on the entire back. A few petals of orchids are floating in the air, and the edges are sealed with green thread. The whole dress will emit a strong orchid fragrance as if blown by the wind.

Seeing him staring at the dress, the proprietress laughed and said, "Do you think this dress looks good, too? This is specially made for Prime Minister Li's daughter, and it is said that it was prepared for the young year's imperial banquet."

Zhao Jun nodded after hearing this, and said: "Please trouble the proprietress to choose clothes for me." After speaking, he gave a salute.

The proprietress sideways moved away from him for this ceremony, and continued to bring him in, saying: "My lord, you don't need to be so polite, I can't afford it."

Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Then I'll bother the proprietress."

The proprietress responded with a smile.

When Zhao Jun was cleaned up by the proprietress and went downstairs, the rest of the people were also ready.

Yu Jianglin took the lead to look towards the stairs, and then exclaimed: "Little Zhao Jun, it's not bad. If you hang around with my sister in the future, you don't have to worry about it."

Zhao Jun blushed when he heard this, and said, "Sister, you don't have to. That's what I said."

Yu Jianglin smiled: "Don't be modest, ask them if you don't believe me."

As a matter of course, Zhao Jun turned to look at Chen Ke.Chen Ke also happened to turn his head to look at him, and then he was taken aback, then smiled again: "It's really good."

Zhao Jun's hair was no longer tied into a ponytail as usual, but loosened, and some of the hair on top was loosely tied with a hair band. Wearing dark clothes of the same color, with a red belt around the waist, and a pair of black-soled white boots, there is a calm atmosphere without losing the fiery enthusiasm.

A pair of star-like eyes on a fair face, a straight nose bridge and light red lips, it really looks better the more you look at it.

Of all the people here, Chen Ke was wearing the most ordinary clothes, still wearing the gray robe, but the cuffs were embroidered with some complicated patterns with gold trim.There is a white jade crown on the head, and a white jade hairpin goes through it, which is unspeakably elegant.

After Chen Ke paid the money, it was not too early, Chen Ke looked at their attire, if they went directly like this, they might be seen badly, so he asked Lin Zheng to go out and bring a carriage over.

A group of people dressed neatly headed towards the palace.

As soon as they approached the Xuanwu Gate, they saw Eunuch Hua walking towards them quickly. When they got closer, they slightly cupped their hands and said, "General Chen, the emperor has been waiting for a long time."

Chen Ke nodded, and said to the people behind him, "Let's go there."

As soon as he entered the palace, Zhao Jun moved closer to Luo Qize who was walking beside him.

Luo Qize lowered his head and asked him softly: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Jun frowned, and said in a low voice, "I feel so depressed."

Luo Qize put a hand on his shoulder, bowed slightly and whispered in his ear, "It's good to walk this distance."

Zhao Jun nodded and walked slowly with Luo Qize.

Chen Ke felt Zhao Jun's small movements, and walked half a step slower, walking beside him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Jun smiled: "It's okay."

Chen Ke looked at Luo Qize's hand on his shoulder, blinked, and walked forward again.

When they arrived at the imperial study room, Chen Ke raised his hand to tell them to stop, and stood outside the door respectfully waiting.

Eunuch Hua opened the door and went in, and came out after a while, saying loudly: "General Chen, go in."

Chen Ke walked in first, then turned his head and said to the people still standing: "Wait for me for a while."

For the first time, everyone said in unison politely: "Yes!"

Before Chen Ke turned around, he glanced at Zhao Jun and Luo Qize who were almost stuck together, blinked again, and then walked in.

Several heaters in the room were lit, and it was very warm. Chen Ke took off the rabbit fur cloak on his body, and handed it to the maid who stood beside her with her hands spread out. Tell me to come in alone?"

Gu Zhi originally lowered his head to review the memorial, but when he heard him speak, he raised his head and said, "Because I haven't seen them for a long time, and it is said that you brought two more people this time, I... can't recognize them ..."

Chen Ke wanted to laugh when he heard his weird reason, and asked him: "How have you been the emperor for so many years?"

Gu Zhi's face darkened: "You don't care about me! No, tell me quickly."

Chen Ke carefully explained to him the characteristics of the people outside, and finally said: "Forget about Lin Zheng and Hu Chen, we are so familiar."

The corners of Gu Zhi's eyes twitched, and he said, "If I forget both of them, I don't have to sit here." After speaking, he said to Mr. Hua who was standing aside: "Let them in."

Eunuch Hua grinned and went down.

Zhao Jun and the others are now outside the door, only feeling a gust of hot air rushing out from inside, forming a stark contrast with the outside.

Yu Jianglin moved slightly to Zhao Jun's side, and said in a low voice, "We're going to freeze to death, they haven't finished yet!"

Zhao Jun felt that he was about to turn into a ball of ice, so he gave her a stiff look, his lips turned pale, he swallowed, and said, "That's right."

Seeing that his lip color was getting worse and worse, Luo Qize asked him, "Is the wound hurting again?"

I don't know why, but the injury on Zhao Jun's shoulder never healed. Luo Qize thought about it for a long time, it should be the reason for running around for a long time, and the colder the injury, the more painful it is, which is a bit miraculous.

Yuan Ming heard this, turned his head to look at him, and asked, "Are you all right, can you still hold on?"

Zhao Jun nodded and smiled slightly: "It's okay."

Yuan Ming whispered from the side: "If only I told those people to change their weapons, that person's knife must have been poisoned, and it won't be easy to recover... sorry."

Zhao Jun smiled at him, slightly showing a small fang on the right, and said, "It's okay, it's not your fault, and I wouldn't let them change it if it were the other way around."

Yuan Ming still felt a little guilty, and looked at him with worried eyes.

Luo Qize bumped Yuan Ming lightly with his arm and said, "Don't look, the more you look at him, the more he hates you."

After hearing this, Zhao Jun almost laughed out loud and said, "Yes, yes."

Yuan Ming also smiled, and turned to look at the ground.

When Mr. Hua announced that they were going in, Zhao Jun's face was completely pale, and the wound on his shoulder hurt like someone had stabbed him with a knife.

When he walked up, Luo Qize carefully pulled him in the dark, and said: "After we go in, you will say that you are anxious. I will accompany you out and check the wound for you."

Zhao Jun nodded, and the two walked in slowly at the end.

After kneeling neatly and saluting, Gu Zhi said, "Everyone loves you."

Luo Qize and Zhao Jun hid behind the crowd, and when they got up, Luo Qize supported Zhao Jun invisibly.

Gu Zhi asked a question once, and finally it was the turn of the two standing behind. As soon as the people in front stepped aside, Chen Ke saw Zhao Jun's pale face.At the same time, Gu Zhi also saw it.

He turned to look at Chen Ke, and saw that Chen Ke was frowning, so he didn't speak.

Sure enough, Chen Ke asked directly: "Qi Ze, what's going on?"

Luo Qize did not let go of the hand supporting Zhao Jun, and said: "Zhao Jun's wound seems to be getting worse again." Then he said to Gu Zhi: "Please allow the two of us to go down and have a checkup."

Gu Zhi looked at Zhao Jun's face, and said directly: "It's okay, but I still need to announce the imperial physician."

Luo Qize was not polite, and said directly: "Then the emperor will ask the imperial physician to bring a set of needles."

Gu Zhi directly asked them to do it.Immediately afterwards, someone cleaned up another room and came out, leading them there.

When walking out, Chen Ke wrapped the cloak he took over Zhao Jun.He understands Zhao Jun's injury better than Zhao Jun. Before coming here, he took the last coat from Biyun Pavilion and put it on Zhao Jun. He was afraid that if he was frozen again, the injury that had just healed would worsen. Unexpectedly, Qian Fang Gu Zhi couldn't help but think of this, he turned his head and looked at Gu Zhi expressionlessly.

Gu Zhi was shocked by his gaze, and thought: "What did I do wrong again?!"

Luo Qize waved away the irrelevant people, and went out to take the needle brought by the imperial physician, and then directly shut the imperial physician out of the door.

The imperial physician looked at Gu Zhi, who was sitting on the upper seat, in a daze, but Gu Zhi looked back blankly, his eyes were full of - trash!

Chen Ke didn't go out. He was standing behind Zhao Jun, watching Zhao Jun's clothes slowly unbuttoned, revealing a blood-red shoulder, as if the blood accumulated under the skin was about to gush out in the next second.

He couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, but he silently turned up the stove that was burning beside him.

Gu Zhi pulled out several needles, found the right acupuncture point and inserted them.Then he watched the blood ooze slowly, so he said to Chen Ke who was standing aside: "Where's the bandage?!"

Chen Ke was taken aback, opened the door and said to Gu Zhi, "Where's the bandage?!"

Gu Zhi was also startled, and said to the imperial physician standing aside: "Where's the bandage?!"

The imperial physician took out the bandage from the medicine box with trembling hands and handed it to Chen Ke respectfully, and then with a "bang", the door closed in front of him again.The old doctor had tears in his eyes, thinking: "Young life!"

Waiting for Zhao Jun to take care of the wound, it is almost time to leave the banquet in the palace.

Chen Ke directly wrapped Zhao Jun into a ball, led him to fall behind the team, and walked slowly over.

Gu Zhi drove the East Palace, he thought, since there is no one in the East Palace now, this is waste utilization.So the banquet was placed in the East Palace.

The mighty army directly entered the East Palace, occupying every corner of the East Palace.

Looking at this scene, Gu Zhi wondered if the late emperor would come out of the mausoleum and strangle me...

He took a deep breath, and said to the soldiers below: "We welcome all the soldiers back today..."

Sitting in the room, Chen Ke and others listened to Gu Zhi blowing the cold wind outside. From time to time, the wind was too strong, and it would blow his voice away. Every time it came to this time, they could laugh so hard that Gu Zhi couldn't help it. Laughter could be heard coming from the room.

Unscrupulous!hateful!

Gu Zhi continued to talk about his own food, and everyone in the room continued to eat his food, completely ignoring Gu Zhi, the emperor.

Only Zhao Jun asked weakly: "This is not good..."

Chen Ke, who was sitting next to him, gave him a piece of mutton and said, "Don't worry about him, he's used to it."

Zhao Jun: "...I feel wronged for him."

So Gu Zhi, who was blown away by the wind before arriving, heard a maniacal laughter very clearly.His eyelids twitched uneasily.

The soldiers below also heard it, and stood there looking at Gu Zhi who paused for no reason, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

When Gu Zhi went back, he happened to hear Luo Qize say to Zhao Jun: "Little Zhao Jun, you can drink some wine...or drink a little more, try it and see if it works."

Zhao Jun said "oh", and took back his wine from Chen Ke's hand "gently".
