Liu buforget's body has just been brought back, and has not yet had time to discuss the matter of burial. Someone came to inform Xiao Jue: the person sent by Her Highness Wang NV has found Chai Anxi.

Xiao Jue and Lin Shuanghe rushed to the palace immediately.

When he arrived at the palace hall, Mu Hongjin was talking to his men. Seeing Xiao Jue, he shook his head slightly and said, "he is going to die."

When they entered the house, they saw a man lying on the floor of the house. The man's heart was hit by an arrow. He was bleeding. A doctor like man was pressing the wound for him. Lin Shuanghe asked the man to go out. He sat on the edge of the cave, touched his pulse and shook his head at Xiao Jue: "it's hopeless."

He is just a doctor. It depends on a bit of luck to fight for his life with Yama. It's impossible to survive a wound like this. Lin Shuanghe takes out a medicine bottle from his arms and pours a pill from it and feeds it into Chai Anxi's mouth.

After a while, the collapsed man opened his eyes.

Lin Shuanghe got up, "time is not much, what do you want to ask as soon as possible, can only hang a breath." He patted Xiao Jue on the shoulder and went out by himself.

Chai Anxi looked up vaguely. When he saw Xiao Jue's face, a little light suddenly burst out from his dark eyes, and he took a breath Second childe? "

Xiao Jue stared at him indifferently.

“.… "Second childe," Chai Anxi was a little excited, but as soon as he spoke, he spat out a big mouthful of blood from his mouth. He asked, "Why are you here?"

"I've come to see you." Xiao Jue sat down on the chair in front of the collapse, and her voice was quiet. "Five years ago, I should be able to know what happened in the Mingshui war."

I didn't speak for a long time.

In fact, when Xiao Jue was a teenager, she often saw Chai Anxi. Chai Anxi was Xiao Zhongwu's deputy. His skill was not the best, but his temperament was the most loyal and honest. Like a black bear, he was almost the same as Shen Han. When he was young, Chai Anxi occasionally worked for Xiao Zhongwu in his house. When he saw Xiao Jue, he always gave him a simple smile and called him "second childe!"

But now lying on the collapse of Chai Anxi, and the memory of Xiao Jue are very different. Chai Anxi is about the same age as Xiao Zhongwu. He is now in his prime, but he looks like an old man. His hair was white and there was a burn mark on his face. He did not know whether his figure was shriveled or how, and became very small, almost like a child who had not grown up. But he looked at Xiao Jue's eyes, there was no past love, with regret, guilt, pain or anything else.

The complexity is frightening.

He gave a bitter smile: "second childe, in fact, you all know it."

Xiao Jue didn't speak.

"The general was killed. This man And me. "

Xiao Jue suddenly raised her eyes and clenched her fingers into fists.

"You know," Chai Anxi said with difficulty, "the general has been dissatisfied with Xu Xiang's excessive private rights, but his majesty has always trusted him. The general reminds his majesty to pay more attention to the evil intention of Xu Xiang, who has already had a deep hatred for the general. "

"Today's crown prince is cruel and cowardly, just like Xu Xiang. They were afraid of the military power of the general. They wanted to put the blame on him. However, the general was innocent all his life and could not find any loopholes. The crown prince and Xu Xiang joined hands to plan a battle with the southern barbarians. In the first battle of Mingshui, there was a traitor in the soldiers of Nanfu, and the general was attacked by the enemy If you are defeated, you will die. "

Xiao Jue looks at him, the eye son that looks like autumn water flits over sarcasm, "is mole pointing to you?"

Chai Anxi's expression was painful: "I'm sorry, second childe I'm sorry, they threatened me with my mother. My mother is seventy years old. I I promised them and gave them a copy of the general's plan I'm not alone. Among the soldiers in Nanfu at that time, some of the general's cronies also defected. They forced their wives and children. I was I was blinded by lard, and I agreed

"Why did you go to Jiyang later?"

"Xu Xiang How can Xu Xiang allow people who know the truth to live in the world? Several of the mutineers were later killed in the first battle of Mingshui. I was lucky to escape. I wanted to go back and take my mother to escape. However, when I got home, my mother had died Xu Xiang's people are searching for my whereabouts. I have heard the general once said that Jiyang city is easy to get out of and difficult to enter, and it is easy to hide. So they used some methods to hide themselves in Jiyang

"Second childe Over the years, in fact, I have always wanted to stand up and explain what happened in those years. But even if I was in Jiyang, I could hear that Xu Xiang was becoming more and more powerful. Even if I stood up to speak, all the people at that time were dead. There was no evidence, and no one would believe it. I want to go to find you, but as soon as I get out of Jiyang City, my news will spread out. Xu Xiang won't let me see you alive. So I can only wait. I know that if the second young master is still alive, he will find me one day

Tears began to seep from the corners of his eyes Second childe, when you grow up, if the general is still there, it will be very gratifying to see you as you are now. "

Xiao Jue looked at his tears, and there was no movement on his face. He only said, "who killed you?"“.… I don't know. " Chai Anxi said blankly, "as early as 20 days ago, when I was in Cuiwei Pavilion, someone wanted to kill me. A big fire was set at night, and I escaped. The wound on the face was left at that time. Then I kept hiding until Until the uto people came to Jiyang, I knew the news about the second childe. I wanted to come to you and was chased on the way... "

He was no longer a strong man under Xiao Zhongwu. For so many years, he could not compare with his age and skill. Because of the fire, he was injured and killed easily. She still has a breath. She can see Xiao Jue alive, take a look at the young people who grew up in those years, and can tell the bottom of my heart's guilt and regret one by one.

"I There is nothing I can do for the second young master. To say this is to seek peace of mind. What I owe to the general, to my wife, to my eldest son, to my second son, and to my brothers, I have not been clear in my life. " He seemed to be crying and laughing, "when I get to the ground, I will kowtow to the general personally and apologize..." His voice stopped suddenly, his eyes were still open, but there was no light any more.

He's dead.

Xiao Jue sat quietly, drooping her eyes and not speaking. After a moment, she stood up and walked out of the door.

Chai Anxi is dead, and the last person who knows the truth about the battle of Mingshui is gone. He could not bring a dead man back to shuojing as a witness, and Chai Anxi did not leave anything as evidence.

This trip, however, is only to confirm some of the things he guessed at the beginning.

Mu Hongjin and Lin Shuanghe are waiting for him outside. Seeing Xiao Jue come out, Mu Hongjin says, "when the uto people come, the situation is complicated. I can't send someone to find him. After the incident, someone found Chai Anxi's whereabouts. When my men found him, he was being pursued and killed. He was seriously injured when he was rescued. I asked the doctor in the city to stop the bleeding for a while... " Mu Hongjin looked at Xiao Jue's expression and frowned slightly: "is he dead?"

Xiao Jue: "dead."

She sighed and did not speak.

It's a pity that after searching for such a long time, the last person is found, but he is dead. It's a pity that it's so close.

Lin Shuanghe asked, "Huaijin, what are you going to do later?"

Xiao Jue was silent for a moment and then said, "Chai Anxi is dead. Jiyang's military affairs have been settled. We will leave for Liangzhou in a few days. "

"Are you going?" Mu Hongjin was not willing to give up, "you didn't stay here for long. Why don't you wait until the building comes back? "

Xiao Jue said, "there are other things to do."

In this way, Mu Hongjin is not good to retain. He said with a smile: "anyway, the city of Jiyang can be kept this time, thanks to governor Xiao. This hall will write memorials to heaven, and your majesty will reward them. "

"No need." Xiao Jue turned and walked forward. He seemed to be not interested in these things, and was somewhat impatient. Lin Shuanghe scratched his head and explained, "Huaijin is not in a good mood at the moment. Your highness should not be wise with him."

Mu Hongjin shakes his head. As a meritorious official of Jiyang City, she was grateful anyway.

"By the way," as if thinking of something, Xiao Jue walked slightly, did not look back, the voice was slightly deep, "Your Highness can know that Mr. Liu is not here."

Mu Hongjin looks frozen.

……

In Cui's house, Chu Zhaozheng is cooking tea in a small stove.

He looked leisurely and patient. Ying Xiang handed him the handkerchief. He held the handle of the teapot and put it on the table.

"Chai Anxi should not be able to do so." Yingxiang has a soft voice.

"It took five years to find such a place as Jiyang, and Chai Anxi was also a talent." Chu Zhao smiles.

"But the fourth young master," Ying Xiang didn't understand, "why not kill him directly, but deliberately keep his breath, let him see governor Xiao, tell the truth, isn't it exposing Xiangye?"

"Even if he didn't say it, Xiao Huaijin had already guessed who was behind the scenes." Chuzhao did not care much about a smile, "said, just to let him more at ease. Chai Anxi was angry in front of him, and he would hate Xiangye even more. The bigger Xiao Huaijin's threat to Xiangye is, the more he will value me. After all, no one knows better than Mr. Xiang what is the way of checks and balances. "

"Besides, this is Jiyang. Since nobody is around, how to do it is our own business." "It's up to us to reduce or increase a fire," he said

Ying Xiang nodded: "I know. The fourth young master, Chai Anxi is dead now, and we have done what the prime minister told us. Are we going back to shuojing after that? "

"No," Chu Zhao said, "there is one thing I am very curious about, so I decided to go to liangzhouwei first."

"Liangzhouwei?" Ying Xiang was surprised, "that's the territory of governor Xiao." Chu Zhao and Xiao Jue have never been able to deal with them. In Liangzhou Wei, Chu Zhao can never get any benefits.

"So it's very interesting to rob people on Xiao Huaijin's territory."

The tea in the teacup was up and down. He looked at it and began to smile.

……

The time to go back was set two days later. After Liu Buzhang was buried, he Yan and Xiao Jue set out to return to Liangzhou Wei.This time I came to Jiyang, there were many happy places and many sad sufferings. The most regretful thing is that we just meet with our old friends, and then we have to say goodbye.

He Yan is unusually silent, packing slowly in the room. In fact, there were not a few pieces of luggage. Lin Shuanghe paid for the women's clothes in xiuluofang of Jiyang. Heyan couldn't take them back. She is a "big man" with women's clothes. She may be looked at with strange eyes.

So those clothes and jewelry shoes, Heyan all left down, gave to Cui Yuezhi's four aunts. It's just that when you pack and pack up, you can't give up. Most of all, I've been a woman for a long time. At first I've been a man, but I'm not used to it.

There was a noodle under the pillow. The dough is not as bright as it was when it was just made. It is a little dull. The dough is also drying gradually, and even there are signs of drying and cracking. He Yan picked it up and put it in front of his eyes.

This is the water god's day, Xiao Jue and she took a fireboat to the Luoying spring. On the water, we saw a street vendor who kneaded dough figurines and made one according to her appearance. Long hair in the forehead into a braid, down the back of the head, red skirt, black boots, Yan Yan Yan, is strange, is also her appearance.

I have known for a long time that you can't bring it back to liangzhouwei. But he Yan is not willing to stay here. It seems that the place where the face man exists is the place where memory exists. If you leave it here, you will abandon the memory of Jiyang.

But she was not willing to give up the sad or happy memories.

"Don't want to take it back?" Xiao Jue sat at the table and glanced at her.

He Yan sighed, "take back to be afraid of being found by Liangzhou Wei, it's not good to show horse's feet."

Xiao Jue pulled the corner of the mouth: "you are not very good at deceiving people, how can not even find an excuse?"

He Yan's mind, the rest is OK, but in the matter of concealing identity, from the previous life to this life, she is really cautious. After all, the Bank of thousands of miles was destroyed in the ant's nest. It's better to be careful.

"Be careful to sail for a long time." As she said, she squeezed the dough man's stick in her hand, reluctant to let go.

Xiao Jue hissed: "you can say, buy it back and give it to your fiancee."

He Yan a Zheng, look at him: "this also OK?"

"You are not pure and pure. You are so infatuated with your fiancee that you will always miss you wherever you go. Why not buy a souvenir noodle and send it back? "

This reminds Heyan. She seems to have a "fiancee". For a while, she thinks that Xiao Jue's reason is very reasonable. Then he picked up the dough figurine and put it into the bag together. He praised Xiao Jue: "governor, I now find that you are the real master of deception."

Xiao Jue put down her military book, looked at her and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"I say it casually, don't take it to heart." He Yan sighed, "just stay in Jiyang for a long time, to return to Liangzhou Wei, there are some reluctant."

Such a gentle water town, simple people, will naturally be sentimental. I don't know if there is a chance to come back in this life, but even if I come back here, I don't know how many years later.

"Do you want to stay?" Xiao Jue asked.

He Yan nodded and then shook his head: "No. I like it here, but there is more important to do. "

If she had no previous life's gratitude and resentment, she could live here for a long time with the status of "Heyan". But she still has a grudge, even if there is no more beautiful scenery, also can not stay, need to go straight ahead.

"You mean to build a career?" There was a trace of irony in his voice.

He Yan said with a smile: "yes. But if you've promised me before, you'll do whatever you want

Xiao Jue: "count."

He Yan is happy, at least she is a little closer to the goal she wants.

Xiao Jue drooped her eyes and covered her eyes. When she raised her head again, her expression had returned to calm. Just about to speak, someone knocked on the door outside. It was Cui Jiao's voice: "madam."

"Come in."

Cui Jiao came in, holding a stack of neat clothes in her hand. She first took a look at Xiao Jue, and her expression was somewhat embarrassed.

"What's the matter?" He Yan asked.

"The fourth master of Chu next door I'm very grateful to ask the maid to return the clothes to you, saying that thanks to the protection of the lady's dress, I can't thank you enough. "

Heyan remembers that when Chu Zhao delivered Mu Hongjin's clothes for her, he Yan gave him the shark's gauze skirt, which was "invulnerable to the sword and not soaked in water and fire", so that he could wear it as armor. If he had not asked Cuijiao to return, he Yan would have forgotten.

He Yan thought about it and put it on the table. When she returned to liangzhouwei, she was also a daughter. She could not use the dress. It was left to Cui Yuezhi's concubines.

Fu put a good, on is Xiao Jue's cool eyes.

The young man looked at her and calmly said, "the clothes I bought are for Chu Zilan?""You didn't buy it," He Yan said truthfully, "isn't brother Lin's money?"

Xiao Jue was indifferent.

He Yan realized that the man was angry. He thought about it. He and Chu Zilan were enemies, but he gave Chu Zilan what he had chosen. Naturally, he would be upset.

She thought about it for a moment and explained, "at that time, I asked Cuijiao to give me the clothes of her royal highness. Brother Chu was afraid that a little girl of Cuijiao would have an accident, so he came to deliver it by himself. I think he is a big man with no strength to bind a chicken. He is on the edge of the canal. If he meets the uto people, he can be cut to death with two knives. The young man of xiuluofang said that this skirt is not immune to fire and water. I am not afraid of armor, so I gave it to him as armor. "

At that time, the situation was so chaotic that he Yan forgot that the dress was a woman's dress. She gave it to Chu Zilan for fear that Chu Zilan would not wear it.

"Brother Chu?" Xiao Jue asked slowly.

He Yan stepped back and knew that he was wrong again, "fourth master of Chu, fourth son of Chu."

He and I are very familiar with each other

"No, not too well." He Yan zhengse way: "meet by chance, will not see again in the future."

"Let me remind you again," the young man's eyebrows are slightly impatient, and his voice is cold. "You can like anyone. If you like Chu Zilan, you don't know how to live or die."
