Offer a tripod

Earlier, Chu Yu only confessed the four words "good life protection", Fang Qing made his own claim and brought Yuan Jing to Chu Yu's tent.Upon entering, one can see that the layout is extremely simple, without Heqi's extravagant style.There was a game of broken chess and half a cup of cold tea scattered on the group table. It seemed that the owner was hastily dragged away while he was still sitting alone.

Fang Qing said: "It's getting late, if Your Majesty is tired, I will wait for you to rest first."

Yuan Jing was noncommittal, and followed him to the sleeping tent, before he entered, he smelled a faint fragrance, this fragrance was very familiar, after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be the thing he used to focus on in the past.When the first emperor passed away, he couldn't sleep at night, so Chu Yu asked Chizhu to make a sachet and hang it on the bed curtain.He took a look, and sure enough, he saw something old.There was a small lifelike portrait beside the bed, Yuan Jing's eyes fell, and he froze for a long time.

Fang Qing whispered at the side: "Since you left, the prince has been restless, and he has not often passed by in the palace. He is proud by nature and has always been strong. He never tells others when he is sad, but his subordinates know, He misses you every single day. He has always regretted those things in the past, but now the situation is pressing, making up for it will not happen overnight, but the prince treats you with sincerity, and will not let you stay here for a long time to suffer." ·

Hearing Yuan Jing's sudden sneer, he sighed, stopped talking, and backed out by himself.This night, the wind became more and more urgent. In the second half of the night, the flames near the king's tent shot up into the sky, and then the soldiers exclaimed and the sound of shadow guards chasing after them continued.Fang Qing's heart shuddered, and he immediately sent two clever soldiers to inquire about the news. He fulfilled his duty and kept guard.However, the soldiers did not return, but his son came back first.

Seeing him walking quickly to the tent door, he opened his mouth and asked, "Where are the others?"

Fang Qing saw that his expression was extremely nervous, and when he looked again, Chizhu was still sweating profusely following behind him, not daring to neglect, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is inside, he went in early, maybe he is already asleep."

Chu Yu walked in without saying a word, but his movements were much lighter than before.Chi Zhu hurried all the way with him, now she was so tired that she couldn't straighten her back, Fang Qing gave her a glare, and then followed in panting.The bedroom hall was brightly lit, and when he entered, he was startled.

I saw a mess in front of me, the cabinets and benches were overturned and crooked, the tea sets and vases were broken all over the floor, and the longbow used by the lord was also twisted and thrown into the brazier.The flames were raging there, and something had already been burned. Chi Zhu squinted her eyes and looked at it for a while, vaguely discerning that it was a painting scroll.The instigator showed no shame at all. He was sitting on the bed with a frosty face at the moment. His clothes were messed up, his sleeves were rolled up, and there were many torn pages scattered around his feet. Seeing Chu Yu's return, he provocatively put the last A copper seal hit the ground and looked at him gloomyly.

Chu Yu was completely blind to everything around him, and when he looked at Yuan Jing, there was only nervousness in his eyes.She even wanted to touch his hair to comfort her, so she raised her hand, and being stared at by him, she abruptly turned around and waved to Chi Zhu: "Come and see if there is anything unusual here."

Chi Zhu looked at his attitude, as if Yuan Jing was the one who was frightened after the smashing, he endured the slander, looked around, and said with certainty: "Master, there is nothing wrong here."

Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered his head and said to Yuan Jing: "It's okay, the assassin tonight is not here for you."

Yuan Jing didn't look at anyone, but looked ahead and said, "Can I go?"

Chu Yu's fingertips trembled slightly, and he looked at him motionless.Fang Qing sensed that there was something different in the atmosphere, and dragged Chizhu out. Once the tent door was closed, the surrounding was extremely silent, only the sound of sparks bursting.Yuan Jing waited for a long time when there was no answer, so he simply got up and left on his own.After only two steps, Chu Yu pulled him back.Facing the disgust in his eyes, Chu Yu said with difficulty: "It's still chaotic outside, it's not safe to go out now, later...they will come to you."

Yuan Jing said coldly: "It's not for me, and it doesn't matter whether it's safe or not. There is no need for someone to pick it up. It's the same when I go to Ah Shan."

Chu Yu's hand clenched tighter and tighter, with no intention of letting go, and his eyes were fixed on him, as if to engulf him.Yuan Jing was in pain from being held by him, and his tone became more and more cold: "What do you mean? You didn't play enough before, and you still want me to sleep with you?"

Chu Yu felt a pain in his heart when he was stabbed by his words, and silently let go of his hand.Yuan Jing pulled hard, and then he broke away from his palm. His chest heaved violently for a while, as if he was about to get angry, but when he spoke again, his tone had returned to calm: "Now I have no power, what do you want? Naturally, I couldn't resist. It's just that you let me go at that time, and I was more or less grateful to you. I hope you keep your promise and don't bother me again in the future. Don't let us lose even this bit of love. "

When he turned around, Chu Yu said in a low voice: "I know you hate me." Yuan Jing paused, raised his eyebrows and looked at him.Chu Yu sighed helplessly, and put down the messy sleeves for him. The two looked at each other, and only heard him say in a hoarse voice: "It doesn't matter if you hate me or be grateful, as long as you remember me in your heart, I will love you." I am satisfied, I owe you a lot in the past, and I will pay you back one by one in the future."

Yuan Jing frowned, and vaguely guessed the meaning of his words, but the weight was too heavy, and he couldn't believe it for a while.After a while, he walked out of him numbly.

Not long after he left, Wu Shan rushed in like a gust of wind, Fang Qing chased after him and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has already left." How could Wu Shan believe it, Wu Shitu followed behind, dragging Pulling did not stop him.The two of them went inside, and sure enough, they were all in vain, but seeing the messy state of the room, Wu Shan became vigilant again: "What's going on?"

Fang Qing was afraid that he would think too much, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this is none of the prince's business, it was His Majesty who smashed it himself."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this sentence, Wu Shan was furious, grabbed Chu Yu and asked, "What did you do to Xiao Jiu?"

Chu Yu glanced at him coldly, raised his hand to brush him away, Wu Shan stood unsteadily, and fell into Wu Shitu's arms with his head up.Wu Shitu gave him a rub, and said with a stern face: "I told you that the man has already left. If you don't chase after him, what are you doing here?"

Wu Shan clenched his fists and coaxed him: "What do you know! Xiao Jiu has the most gentle temper and never gets angry with others. To be able to make him so angry, it must be this Chu who bullied him! If it wasn't for you just now Slow down, I've come here a long time ago, and now you're still talking for him!"

Wu Shitu couldn't see his obsessed look, so he said angrily: "He doesn't have you in his heart at all, and he doesn't treat you as his own, so he will be polite to you, and he won't shoot you if he gets angry."

Wu Shan was stunned, as if someone had stabbed him hard in the heart. When he came back to his senses, his eyes were burning with fire: "You are talking nonsense!" He raised his arm and pushed him away heavily.

Wushitu staggered a few steps, and was also a little angry, and said coldly: "I'm talking nonsense? You didn't see him go out to play all day long, and who did he make friends with? The officers under you and me are familiar with him. That's all, even the battalion commander of the Shenwu Army Ordnance Battalion invited him to be his guest, after all his thought and planning, do you think he really intends to stay with you in Quli for the rest of his life?"

Wu Shan thought about all the things in the past few months, and the confusion he had had was instantly clear, but the surname Chu was still beside him, and he didn't want to let him see the joke no matter what, so he snorted coldly and said through gnashing of teeth: "Even if he moves So what's on his mind? This is not his home in the first place. If it wasn't for someone occupying the magpie's nest, why would he have a home that he can't return to? He wants to come back with me. I'll tell you clearly today, I know his thoughts very clearly , Wherever he goes in the future, I will go with him! Whatever he wants to do, I will risk my life to help him!"

Wu Shitu's expression changed slightly, and he shouted: "Ashan! Don't talk nonsense in front of the prince!" He shouted at the door, and ordered: "Send Your Highness back!"

Wu Shan couldn't understand his painstaking efforts at all, threw his guards away, and said angrily: "I don't need you, I will go by myself!"

Wushitu chased after two steps, then stopped abruptly, turned around, and smiled at Chu Yu embarrassingly: "My brother is not sensible, what he just said is nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Chu Yu looked at the burnt portrait in the brazier, nodded absently, apparently not paying attention to it, and after a while, he asked, "Did the other person catch it?"

Mentioning what happened just now, Wushitu's back still felt a little chilled: "I caught it, but it's not a person, it's a corpse. Speaking of it, I'm afraid. This person has been dead for two or three days. He is covered in poison. A little soldier got close and was caught by him. In the blink of an eye, a bloody hole appeared on his arm. If the Gu master beside you came quickly and forced out the Gu worms on his body, I really don't know what to do. what to do."

Chu Yu pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered something: "Is this the first time they use this crooked trick, or has it already happened?"

Wu Shitu said: "From what I've seen, it's the first time, but I heard that a few years ago, Ran Hong led troops to fight Tu Yue, and the battle was a bit weird. When they withdrew, they burned Tu Yue's camp The scorched earth is so clean that not a single blade of grass grows for dozens of miles, and even the birds don’t go there.”

Chu Yu's heart moved, and he immediately called out: "Chizhu!"

Chi Zhu came in after hearing the sound, with the wine gourd Fang Qingxin gave him hanging on his waist: "Why did the master call me?" Chu Yu told him in a few words, thinking about this old news, he was no stranger to it, and immediately said: "Return to the master. , Tu Yue's subordinates have been there before, and it was indeed the work of a Gu master. However, it is not easy to manipulate the Gu insects with this kind of killing method. Once the Gu insects bite back, the consequences will be disastrous. Life will also be severely injured, and it may not be able to recover in ten or eight years."

After thinking about it, Wu Shitu looked at Chu Yu and said, "Calculate the time, I'm afraid this person has recovered, why don't we send some killers out to solve this trouble before he has time to make trouble."

Chu Yu also had some considerations in his mind, and when he opened his mouth, he asked: "If the two of you confront each other, are you sure you can capture him alive?"

Chi Zhu said: "He may not be my opponent in a close combat, but I'm afraid there is nothing good to do now. The Gu worms he released tonight seem to be bluffing, but they are just tricks. If they are far away, the Gu worms will be If you're not so obedient, you won't be able to use powerful killing moves."

Chu Yu nodded: "Understood, you pack up and go out with me in a few days." Chi Zhu led the order to leave the account and go to prepare.Wushitu was a little confused: "You have never liked these crooked activities, what do you want to capture him alive?" With a flash of inspiration, he suddenly understood: "Is it for your little emperor?" Seeing that Chu Yu was silent, he sighed He said: "I don't coax you when we meet, but treat people well behind the scenes. He doesn't know that if you do a hundred or a thousand things, he won't be grateful to you."

Chu Yu said lightly: "What do I want him to be grateful for? As long as he lives well."

Wushitu said leisurely: "Do you still treat him like a child? Let me tell you, he is no longer that pampered and ignorant young man." He lowered his voice: "There are some things that Ah Shan can't see, but I You can see clearly that now that the two armies are at war, he has taken the overall situation into consideration, so he pretends to be indifferent to the world. Once the battle is over, his little tail can't hide. I know your ability, But people’s hearts and morals are on his side, and he is orthodox! If you don’t coax him now, you will only be able to meet him with swords. Looking at you now, even if you really go to the battlefield, you won’t be willing to give up on him. Ruthless. But you yourself are not afraid of death, so it’s fine if you are willing to give up your life to return the throne to him. What about the brothers who followed you? I’m afraid I won’t even be able to sit on the throne.” Seeing Chu Yufeng frowned He didn't force him anymore, and said lazily: "I heard that the prince chose Yuan Cheng, the youngest son of the Marquis of Jinyang, as the prince. The Marquis of Jinyang is timid and cowardly. It is Bai Ding, you chose his son, of course it is for the long term. Since he is already on his way to the capital, I hope you make a decision early." After bowing respectfully, he backed out.

While Chu Yuzi was worrying in the tent, Yuan Jing had already driven his horse away from Heqi. Before leaving the camp, he met two acquaintances who greeted him. When someone calls his name, he puts his mind first, and walks away with a whip.The night wind in August was already a bit chilly. He walked along the river faster and faster.When he reined in his horse and stopped, he didn't know how far he had run.

There is no one inhabited here, and even the light of the stars and the moon is much dimmer than other places.He was completely empty, and sat on the bank of the river in a daze for a long time, and then there was something floating on the water, he felt agitated for no reason, picked up a stone and threw it at it.The stone fell into the water with a "plop", sinking silently.The thing floated closer and closer, Yuan Jing saw something was wrong, took two steps forward, only to realize that it was actually a person.At this moment, he was facing up, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

The author has something to say: Guess who this floating one is?
