Don't be clouded

Chapter 104 Reunion Again

Ji's mansion became lively again, the doctor who saw him last time was invited again, and the stove that had been vacant for a long time was once again boiled with medicine.Several people in the kitchen were busy, carrying several buckets of hot water to the North Wing. When they were taken out again, the water had already been stained blood-colored. I don't know how many wounds had to be washed to become this color.

Ji Bieyun finally turned back to his human form, but he was not a normal person either.Compared with before the expedition, his body was thinner, his face was pale, and there were countless wounds hidden under his clothes.

He accidentally glanced at himself in the bronze mirror, thinking that he had just come out of Shugu City and looked like he hadn't eaten for three to five days.So he didn't dare to look at it too much, and asked Xu Yang to take the mirror away so as not to be upset.

After everything was tidied up and the medicine was decocted, Xu Yang blocked the door with a bowl, saying that he was not allowed to go out if he refused to drink.

He had no choice but to pour it into his stomach three or two times, and hurried out of Ji Zhai.It was still early in the evening, and he wanted to see Emperor Yuan Hui as soon as possible, and he should be able to meet Guan Chen when he came back after entering the palace.

Ji Bieyun pulled Xu Yang into the carriage, but couldn't sit still, he raised the curtain and kept looking outside.

"Emperor Yuan Hui summoned you to return to Beijing early?" Xu Yang asked.

He leaned against the car wall and nodded, out of shape.

Xu Yang's words were full of worry: "Isn't it a good thing? If it's a good thing, we only need to wait for the army to return triumphantly. At that time, we should reward you, but I can only call you back..."

Ji Bieyun looked away, wondering if he should confess.If I answered truthfully, I'm afraid I will be scolded again, but I've reached this point, and I can't hide it if I want to.

"Actually, it's because..." he cleared his throat, "I disobeyed the imperial decree. Emperor Yuan Hui originally planned to let Ningyuan's army retreat to the south of Qiongshui and negotiate a peace. I came up with an idea to intercept the imperial decree. What happened after that? You should know it too."

So he saw Xu Yang's complexion getting worse and worse, until finally it was so gloomy that water could be wrung out.

After being silent for a long time, Xu Yang finally cursed: "You are really capable."

Ji Bieyun smiled cheekily, "Brother Xu is ridiculous. But since you have returned to Chenjing, you must have found some clues in Lingzhou, right?"

The way he changed the topic was too blunt, Xu Yang gave him an angry look, but responded in cooperation: "I found out, and I even swindled out the whereabouts of his family from Duan Wenfu."

He was really surprised now, he was waiting for the next sentence, but he saw Xu Yang leaning back on the ground, "But you might as well think about how to deal with the one in the palace first, we will be there in a while."

Ji Bieyun shyly withdrew his excitement, "How can I deal with it, he can't kill me anyway."

Xu Yang sighed heavily again, and he opened the curtain to look out, trying to play dumb.

The carriage had already arrived at the market. He hadn't seen such a peaceful and lively scene for a long time, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by it.He wanted to buy whatever food he saw, and he was also curious about the gadgets in the jewelry stall, and wanted to roll up the whole stall and take it back to Ji Zhai.

However, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in Ji Bieyun's field of vision, walking in the crowd, passing by in a flash.

Watch the dust!Is it Dust Observation?

Could it be that he was wrong?

He immediately sat up straight and hurriedly yelled "Stop".

"What's the matter?" Xu Yang thought something happened, and asked nervously, "The wound is open?"

Ji Bieyun lifted the curtain and jumped off without waiting for the carriage to come to a complete stop.

Looking back, Guan Chen was already far away from him, walking in the opposite direction.But he hadn't seen him for a month or two, but he felt that the back was extremely strange and extremely lonely.He almost thought that the monk would go out of the world of mortals, never look back, and no longer be greedy for the peace of mind and worry he brought.

He had never felt so flustered, he wanted to rush forward desperately, and let the other party stay in this world of mortals for him.But there are pedestrians coming and going all around him, even calling Guan Chen's name is beyond the norm, it is blasphemy.After all, the whole of Chenjing didn't know that the abbot of Xuanqing Temple had a secular friend who was so close that he could omit the word "master" and call the Dharma directly, hiding secret and eager emotions on the bustling long street.

But he still couldn't help following up, pushing aside the obstruction of the crowd, and his pace became faster and faster.

"Guanchen!" Ji Bieyun heard his own voice, and later realized that he actually yelled out.

Countless eyes were cast on him, but he only looked at the back figure in the distance, his heart beating like a drum.So what about the eminent monk, what about the abbot of Xuanqing Temple, he only knew that it was Guanchen, and it was a fate destined since childhood.Among thousands of people, their lives are tied together, and they have already become each other's half body.

The monk froze and stopped, and Ji Bieyun also stopped.

He seemed to be looking forward to all the good things, and he was so nervous that he clenched his sleeves tightly.Guan Chen turned around and glanced at him on the noisy long street, his eyes were still as calm as ever, instantly calming all his anxiety.

Ji Bieyun froze in place, he was desperate when he chased after him, but now he was at a loss what to do.

Should he go forward, or should he wait for Guan Chen to come over?What should I say in the first sentence, apology?Or do you mean that you are in good health and have no injuries at all?

While he was hesitating, the monk had already walked towards him.This moment lasted like forever, and he couldn't do anything but just stare blankly.

They parted ways in the crowded lantern market, and met again in the bustling street market.The quarrel that night surfaced in front of his eyes, and turned into a dark wound in today's autumn sun, just like the covered scars on his body.

Guan Chen walked up to him and looked down into his eyes.

"I'm back." The voice was soft.

He nodded, lowered his eyes and raised them again, pointing awkwardly at the carriage parked in the distance behind him, "I'm going somewhere, will you accompany me?"

"Okay." The monk agreed without hesitation.

Ji Bieyun was not as natural as Guanchen, as if he had never parted before, he was a little awkward, he struggled for a moment and then asked: "Are you going to follow me without asking anything?"

Guan Chen passed him and walked in the direction of the carriage, his voice fell in the breeze: "As long as you are willing to let me follow."

He was dazed for a while before he came back to his senses, when he returned, Guan Chen had already got into the carriage.

Just like when he won the Dengque Club, the three of them occupied one side, and the atmosphere was equally delicate.It's just that this time there is another subtlety. Ji Bieyun wanted to talk to Guanchen but was hindered by Xu Yang's presence, and at the same time he was afraid that Xu Yang would reveal his injury.He had no choice but to sit there in silence, thinking quickly about the topics he could talk about.

Xu Yang coughed twice, and said, "Master Guanchen, is he going to Ji's residence?"

"Yes." Guan Chen replied.

"That's really a coincidence. General Ji just came back in the morning, and he went out after tidying up. As soon as he came out, he happened to meet Grandmaster." Xu Yangyang said deliberately, "We were going to the palace, and he disobeyed the imperial edict. I'm going to be scolded."

Ji Bieyun closed his eyes.He knew that Xu Yang would not let go of the opportunity to file a complaint.

Sure enough, the monk seemed calm and said, "Disobey the imperial decree? How did you disobey it?"

He replied without confidence: "It's just...the emperor asked me to retreat, but I didn't retreat, and I attacked."

"It's not bad to be courageous and resourceful." Guan Chen said.

Ji Bieyun raised his head abruptly, and saw the same unbelievable expression on Xu Yang's face, and asked the monk, "You actually praised me?"

Guan Chen glanced at him, obviously expressionless, but it made his heart tremble, and he felt that danger was about to happen.

"It's just too risky. You have to correct your habit of betting in the future. You won't be able to win every time you gamble."

Xu Yang suspected that he had heard wrong.Master Guanchen didn't say "benefactor" just now, but said "you", that's fine, the tone is still so intimate, as if discipline Ji Bieyun is a matter of course.

...the two ended up getting together.

He felt that his existence was too superfluous.

"Then what?" Xu Yang coughed again, "I got evidence in Lingzhou that Duan Wenfu framed Captain Liu."

Both pairs of eyes fell on him, Xu Yang stabilized his mind and said again: "Didn't you say that Captain Liu once stopped a secret letter? I went to investigate the subordinates of Captain Liu back then, and found Many people finally found someone who knew where to intercept it. Although that person hadn’t read the contents of the letter, he remembered that it was a letter from a flying pigeon. Since it is a carrier pigeon, there must be someone who trained it. I went to all the nearby pigeon breeders. place."

When he said this, he stopped for a rest, thinking that Ji Bieyun would impatiently ask him to speak more quickly, but the young man's expression was a little gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.In an instant, he seemed to understand a little bit, perhaps because of suffering and ignorance for many years, when he finally wanted to know the truth, he couldn't help but feel mixed feelings.

Xu Yang shook his head, "After Nanchen was captured, the prefect's house on the border of Nanchen was confiscated by Daliang, and a batch of pigeons raised by his family happened to be sold to a pigeon farm near Lingzhou. I brought all the pigeons back to Nanchen. Chen Taishou's old houses, I tried them one by one, and some of them flew straight to Lingzhou."

Ji Bieyun finally said, "Should have flown to Lingzhou Governor's Mansion?"

"Yes," he replied, "it is exactly where Zheng Yu was at the beginning."

After the words fell, Xu Yang watched the boy's reaction a little nervously. The other party was too calm, but he was a little worried, so he couldn't help but look to Guan Chen for help.

The monk didn't feel worried at all, he just fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his palm.

"So, it was Zheng Yu who was collaborating with the enemy and treason?" Ji Bieyun lowered his head, as if talking to himself, speaking very slowly, "My father stopped his secret letter of collaborating with the enemy. After Zheng Yu found out, he was afraid of being exposed, so he joined forces Duan Wenfu framed the crime on my father...Duan Wenfu was the supervisory censor of Huainan Road at that time, and he could directly report to the late emperor, so my father was convicted in just three days."

After pausing for a moment, the boy laughed at himself, "I see."

Xu Yang wanted to persuade Ji Bieyun not to get angry, but before he opened his mouth, Guan Chen took a look, as if to stop him.

He froze for a moment, but Guan Chen said one step ahead of him: "I will accompany you into the palace later."

Ji Bieyun turned his head away, his expression still gloomy, but his tone became normal: "Are you afraid that I will go crazy in front of Emperor Yuan Hui?"

"I just remembered the promise I made before, you can do whatever you want," the monk's eyes were like a pool of still water, but there was no doubt, "I will help you guard the way out."
