Don't be clouded

Chapter 28

Ji Bieyun didn't care much about being treated as a showman, but he was afraid that if he drew his sword, he would be punished. In the future, maybe someone with a heart would make a big fuss about it.

He was about to shirk when he heard a familiar voice from beside him.

"Your Majesty, the Dunhua Palace is the place where the state is negotiated and the will of the heavens is upheld, and it is sent down to all peoples. It is really inappropriate to wield swords and swords in the palace."

The voice seemed to come from the first row, and those who could stand at the head of the hundred officials were naturally powerful officials.

Sure enough, Emperor Yuan Hui didn't refute this person's face, and said "That's all" in a lack of interest, and let Ji Bieyun go.

The early court had already come to an end, and Emperor Yuan Hui bestowed Ji Bieyun with a mansion before leaving the court.

Ji Bieyun walked out of the hall with the golden wrong knife, and just as he walked down the steps, he heard the voice calling just now: "Zhonglang will stay."

He didn't react at first, but he stopped when he heard Zhonglang Jiang called again from behind.

Turning around, he found that the prime minister who had met once was walking towards him.

So it turned out that it was the prime minister who rescued him in the hall just now?

Ji Bieyun was surprised, raised his hand and saluted, "I have seen the prime minister, thank you for your words."

The elbow was slightly raised, and the Prime Minister's tone was very kind: "There is no need to be polite."

He stood up straight and raised his head to see the person in front of him clearly.

When he was in Xuanqing Temple last time, he took a look from a distance, and felt that the prime minister was indifferent.And after the legendary virtuous prime minister put on the crimson purple court dress, his demeanor was indifferent and even more upright, making people believe at a glance that he was a highly respected and powerful minister.

Fang Sui patted his arm like an elder, and walked outside first, Ji Bieyun followed silently.

"Qunzi once mentioned General Zhonglang, and he praised and yearned for it in words. Now that he sees it, he has to believe it."

Ji Bieyun replied: "Prime Minister is too famous. I have indeed met the young master a few times, and it is quite speculative."

The prime minister's polite words made him feel guilty, and he couldn't help treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.Considering the tense atmosphere of the first two meetings between him and Fang Muzhi, it's good that Young Master Fang didn't scold him behind his back, how could he still praise him in front of his own father?

They walked on the palace road, surrounded by ministers who had left the court, in twos and threes, and some were alone.Perhaps it was because the person next to him was the prime minister, these people avoided him intentionally or unintentionally, and did not come forward to disturb him.

But the prime minister didn't seem to have anything serious to say to him, so he congratulated him a few words in the tone of an elder, and then stopped talking.

While they were silent, another young red-robed official came over, saluted the prime minister first, then looked at Ji Bieyun, and said with a smile: "Censor Zhongcheng, Duan Wenfu."

Ji Bieyun was about to declare his family name, but Duan Wenfu waved his hand, "No need, I'm here to congratulate anyone in the capital who doesn't know the name of Little General Ji."

This imperial censor, Zhongcheng, looked less than [-] years old, with an upright and handsome appearance, and his manners were measured.Although calling him a little general from the very beginning is really flattering him as a general who has not yet taken office, but it is not frivolous.

Yushitai is headed by the doctor Yushi, and Yushi Zhongcheng is the deputy.Now there is no one censor doctor, and the one in charge of the entire censor platform is the young and promising Duan Zhongcheng in front of him.

In the case of Zheng Yu's assassination, Yu Shitai participated in the joint trial of the three divisions. It is hard to say that the result of the "self-judgment" was not without Yu Shitai's instruction.

Ji Bieyun knew it in his heart, but said respectfully on his face: "Thank you Duan Zhongcheng, I just won by luck, that's not enough."

He doesn't know how to say such polite words in the officialdom, and he feels uncomfortable all over his body. He thinks that these two should stop pulling him to exchange pleasantries. If they continue, he is afraid that he will be left alone.

Fortunately, the end of the palace road was not far away. After walking this distance, Ji Bieyun immediately bid farewell to Yu Shi Zhongcheng and the prime minister, and walked to his carriage.

At this time, the sky was bright, and Yonganmen was fully exposed, more magnificent than at night, like the embodiment of the majesty of the Tianjia.

Ji Bieyun glanced back, only felt that entering the palace once made him physically and mentally exhausted, and it was different from the exhaustion after fighting, it was a more powerless tiredness.

He hurried back to the carriage, touched the belt around his waist as soon as he sat in, and planned to untie it.

Xu Yang pressed his hand quickly and asked, "What are you doing undressing, you have to ride a horse through the streets later."

He was taken aback, "It's not like you won the No. [-] prize, what street are you going to?"

Ji Bieyun had never heard of this tradition and was caught off guard.

Xu Yang was also taken aback by his question, "You don't know? It is estimated that there are already many people waiting on the imperial street in the outer city."

"It's not like the common people have nothing to do, so why come to see this..." Ji Bieyun leaned back, "Can I not show up, can I just stay in the carriage?"

Seeing Xu Yang's troubled face, he hurriedly said, "The clothes are too heavy, and the wound was crushed again. It really hurts, and it's not convenient to ride a horse."

"...There is no requirement that you have to show your face." Xu Yang glanced at his right shoulder, and finally compromised, "Then you lift the curtain when the time comes, at least let others see your face."

Ji Bieyun reluctantly agreed, as long as he wasn't allowed to ride a horse and show off his power on the imperial street. Just thinking about that scene gave him goosebumps all over his body.

The carriage drove out at a leisurely pace, Ji Bieyun rested for a while before starting to undress again.But the clothes are complicated to put on and troublesome to take off.He managed to take off the outermost dark clothes, and when he was struggling with the second layer of robes, the carriage stopped suddenly.

He heard the driver outside say something, but he didn't hear clearly, he exchanged a glance with Xu Yang, and asked, "Brother Xu, we haven't left the inner city yet, where is the person to stop the car?"

Xu Yang shook his head, and leaned over to lift the car curtain.

Then Ji Bieyun met the eyes of the eminent monk who had been hiding from the world for many days.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to put on his clothes first, or ask Xu Yang to put down the curtain first.

In short, he fell into a rare embarrassment, with one hand still holding his half-broken collar, and the whole person froze in place.

Guan Chen was still calm and calm, and nodded to them with clasped hands in a calm manner.

"Ji benefactor, Xu benefactor."

After hearing the gentle voice of the monk, Ji Bieyun finally came to his senses, pulled up his collar and said, "It's a coincidence that I met the master in this inner city. I thought the master was involved in the affairs of the Xuanqing Temple. Not for a moment."

After he finished speaking, Guan Chen didn't respond, but Xu Yang who was beside him couldn't help laughing, and immediately held back.Clearing his throat uncomfortably, he lowered his voice and said to him: "I can't see it, you still have a strange mood."

Ji Bieyun pursed his lips, refusing to admit that he was indeed acting strangely.In fact, he was only a little bit angry in his heart, and more of a doubt, wondering why the monk suddenly avoided him like a scourge.

During the six days of recuperating in Bieyuan, he also thought about whether something happened in Xuanqing Temple, and asked Xu Yang to send someone to Xuanqing Temple to deliver a message to wish Guanchen is safe.As a result, Guan Chen didn't even reply to the letter, as if he had cut off contact with him.

The monk seemed to be unable to hear his tone at all, and said calmly: "The poor monk came to congratulate Master Ji on his ascension to the palace."

Ji Bieyun frowned.

How could he hear a trace of yin and yang strangeness in this calm sentence, Guan Chen still has this ability?

Looking at Xu Yang beside him in disbelief, he wanted to ask for proof, but Xu Yang only shrugged his shoulders with an innocent face.

A monk stopped in front of the carriage, the situation was really not good, Ji Bieyun took a deep breath, and asked Guan Chen: "Then the master has finished congratulating, is there anything else?"

The monk replied without changing his face: "The poor monk still wants to visit Master Ji's new house."

...So thick-skinned, why didn't he notice it before.

Ji Bieyun was speechless for a while, and finally he could only choke out four words: "Come up."

It wasn't out of softness, he just wanted to see what Guan Chen was going to do, and it was definitely not out of softness.

Guan Chen boarded the carriage and sat on the side that was still vacant, and the three of them each occupied a direction.

The faint fragrance from the monk floated in front of Ji Bieyun again, bringing back the memories of Xuanqing Mountain.When he spoke again, his tone was not so firm: "How is Xuanqing Temple?"

The carriage set off again, and the monk looked at him as it swayed slightly, and replied, "Everything is fine, the layout of the almsgiver's guest house is still in place."

Ji Bieyun paused when he undressed, suppressed the emotion in his heart, lowered his eyes and concentrated on taking off his coat.He struggled to untie the second coat, but his right hand couldn't be pulled out of the sleeve because of the pain, so he could only use his left hand to slowly pull the clothes off his right shoulder.

Inside was a light blue singlet with narrow sleeves and a narrow body, and the right shoulder was indeed stained with a little blood.

Guanchen looked at the boy quietly.

He has seen countless pilgrims, and he has always been very accurate in seeing people.Those who knelt in front of the Buddha statue and refused to get up for a long time were mostly suffering.

The young man in front of him also has the temperament of being tortured by suffering, but he is not a believer.He thought about it, the boy was like a dead tree growing out of his bones after chewing and swallowing the suffering bit by bit.After experiencing the Dengque meeting, the dead tree seemed to have sprouted new leaves after being watered by spring rain and blood.

Ji Bieyun felt that both eyes were on him, and said angrily, "I have to wrap it up again...Brother Xu, pass me the bag, I brought a casual dress."

Xu Yang didn't speak for a while, but when the package was handed over, Ji Bieyun caught a glimpse of Ruyu's hand.He raised his eyes, and met Guan Chen's calm gaze.

"The burden is not on my side..." Xu Yang felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he explained aloud.

Ji Bieyun responded in a low voice, and reached out to take the package.The fingertips touched the back of Guan Chen's hand unintentionally, and it only passed for a moment, but there was a wonderful touch, as if sparks drilled into his heart along the fingertips.

Different from touching himself, Guan Chen's skin temperature is a little lower than his, as if he touched a piece of cool jade.

The eyes of the two never separated, but they were both calm and composed, as if they hadn't accidentally touched each other at all.

And Guan Chen's expression is like a pool of still water, people can't understand whether there are waves and undercurrents in the water.

Ji Bieyun was a little distracted, took the lead to look away, and said dully: "Thank you."
