Chapter 117: Deposed Emperor Becomes a Slave (8)
8
"Little Chengzi from Changqiu Palace."
As soon as Zhu Qingchen finished saying this, Yuwen Zan, who had been covering his head and crying out in pain, immediately calmed down as if he had heard some healing spell.
Yuwen Zan was lying on the mountain road. His headache was gone and he was no longer rolling around. His face showed an expression of relief and even a faint smile.
He opened his mouth and made some vague sounds.
Zhu Qingchen lifted his skirt, knelt on one knee in front of him, and listened attentively: "What did you say?"
Eunuch Cheng became alert and stretched out his hand to protect Zhu Qingchen.
Yuwen Zan's voice was so soft that Zhu Qingchen frowned and lowered his head even more.
Yuwen Zan pursed his lips and said weakly in a voice that only he could hear: "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, Xiao Chengzi, I'm here to make it up to you, I'll treat you well this time..."
The system following Zhu Qingchen was shocked: "Chenchen, he he he...he really..."
Zhu Qingchen pursed his lips and said calmly: "I am truly reborn."
It seems that what the villain system said was right. The plot outline he saw was just the plot outline of his previous life.
This article actually officially begins after Yuwen Zan is reborn.
Yuwen Zan seemed to have mistaken Eunuch Cheng for "Little Chengzi". He pulled at his clothes and kept chattering weakly: "I recognized the wrong person. I know I was wrong. In fact, I love you..."
Fortunately, Eunuch Cheng is old and his hearing is not very good, so I didn’t hear clearly what he said, let alone the word "love you or not".
Otherwise, he would scare you to death.
Eunuch Cheng pulled back the hem of his clothes, trying to get it back, but Yuwen Zan held it so tightly that he couldn't pull it back.
After all, he was the prince of Northern Zhou, and he looked sick. Eunuch Cheng couldn't use force, so he could only look at Zhu Qingchen, a little embarrassed: "Young Master, this..."
Zhu Qingchen saw that Yuwen Zan no longer had a headache and looked relieved, but he was still holding on to Eunuch Cheng's clothes tightly, so he was a little skeptical that he could say the predetermined lines.
So Zhu Qingchen held the sword at his waist, pulled out the weapon with a "swish", and placed it on Yuwen Zan's wrist.
The blade is sharp and shines silver.
Yuwen Zan was blinded by the flash of the knife and immediately retracted his hand.
Isn't this sober? You still know how to be afraid, why pretend to be affectionate?
Zhu Qingchen smiled
With a sound, he sheathed his sword, looked up at the sky, and ordered his guards, "Carry the man back."
The guard clasped his fists and replied, "Yes."
According to the plot of the original book, it was about to rain, so to avoid trouble, they had better go back early.
Two guards lifted Yuwen Zan up from the ground. At this moment, Yuwen Zan struggled again, took out a jade pendant from his arms, and handed it to Eunuch Cheng: "Please...save me...reward..."
I haven't forgotten the important props yet.
Eunuch Cheng looked at Zhu Qingchen again: "Young Master..."
Zhu Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "You keep it first."
If he doesn't accept this, I'm afraid Yuwen Zan will not be willing to leave.
"Yes." Eunuch Cheng took the white jade pendant from Yuwen Zan with a handkerchief as a cushion, wrapped it up, and put it into his sleeve. "If the young master needs it, please tell me at any time."
"Um."
After the plot was completed, Zhu Qingchen asked two guards to help Yuwen Zan onto the horse's back. He also climbed onto the horse and squeezed the horse's belly.
He said to the three students, "Let's go. It looks like it's going to rain. Let's go back."
"good."
The three students didn't react to what was happening and just followed the teacher.
The system followed Zhu Qingchen: "Chenchen, you have grown up."
Zhu Qingchen turned his horse around and prepared to go back the same way: "Hmm?"
"In the past, the plot revisions pushed you forward, and now you will also be driven by the plot."
"It's only practice that makes the difference."
Zhu Qingchen went around to the front of the team and led the students back.
Yuwen Zan seemed to have fainted. He lay on the horse's back and was led forward by his personal guards. Occasionally he uttered a sentence or two, "Put me down" and "I am a grassland man."
Chu Yunyang heard him talking, looked back, and then turned back again in confusion: "What is he talking about? What do you mean he is from the grassland? He looks like this, who doesn't know he is from the grassland?"
Zhu Qingchen smiled and said, "He's afraid that you will abandon him."
Chu Yunyang was even more confused: "Although I don't like Bei Zhou either, but human life is at stake, who would abandon him?"
Zhu Qingchen nodded: "That's exactly the truth."
No matter who falls here today, Xiao Chengan and the others will rescue them.
There are people everywhere in the hunting ground. Even if they don't save him, there will be others who will.
Chu Yunyang added: "He owes us a life-saving favor now. Let's wait for him.
Well, I won’t dare to look down on our Daxia anymore.”
Xiao Cheng'an and Wei Yuan both nodded, looking agreeable.
Seeing their innocent looks, Zhu Qingchen couldn't help but want to tease them: "You only know 'repay a drop of kindness with a spring of water', what if he wants to 'repay the favor of saving my life with my own body', what will you do?"
"Ah?" The three students were all shocked. They stared at him in disbelief. "Teacher, what are you talking about?"
This was a bolt from the blue for them!
What do you want to promise? To promise your body?
What kind of bullshit is this? Nowadays, storytellers in Daxia don't tell such old-fashioned stories anymore.
The three of them looked at each other, none of them looking very happy.
After a while, Chu Yunyang suggested in a low voice: "Why don't we throw him back to where he came from?"
Wei Yuan nodded immediately: "I have no objection."
"After all, it's a human life..." Xiao Cheng'an hesitated, "Let the guards take him back by another route, and don't let him know who saved him."
Zhu Qingchen laughed out loud: "What are you afraid of? It's just a joke, how can it be so outrageous?"
Although he said that, Yuwen Zan, who was lying on the horse's back and muttering to himself, still looked a bit creepy.
The three students rode their horses, slowly moving away from him, approaching Zhu Qingchen, and surrounded him.
Teacher protects us!
After a while, the sky really darkened, thunder roared, and it was about to rain.
Zhu Qingchen was quite impressed: "It's really accurate, it rains when it says it will rain."
"The original book wanted to focus on how difficult it was for Xiao Cheng'an to save Yuwen Zan." The system described the scene, "Xiao Cheng'an carried Yuwen Zan in the rain, fell and was covered in mud, but still refused to let him go. What a touching love story, moving heaven and earth."
Zhu Qingchen couldn't understand: "Cheng'an didn't have any love for him from the beginning to the end, right?"
"It's almost the same anyway, and the more miserable Xiao Chengan was when he saved him, the more it shows how miserable Xiao Chengan was abused later."
"So my students are the only ones who suffer?"
"Hasn't Yuwen Zan been reborn to chase his wife to the crematorium?" When the system saw Zhu Qingchen raising his hand to catch it, it quickly flew away, "I didn't say that, it was said in the original book!"
What a joke! There can be a crematorium, but there is absolutely no chasing after a wife.
Zhu Qingchen turned around and told his guards: "Put on a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat."
Fortunately, he was prepared.
.
Get caught in the rain?
It's impossible. His students followed him and they wouldn't get wet by even a drop of rain!
Zhu Qingchen watched the three students put on their straw raincoats and bamboo hats, then raised his hand to help them tidy up.
Chu Yunyang also said: "The camp is just ahead, I can rush over there in no time, I don't need these, I won't wear them, I will go down and explore the way."
Zhu Qingchen said seriously, "It looks like the bottom of the mountain is very close from the top, but in fact, there is still a long way to go. Put on your raincoat and be careful not to catch a cold in the rain. The camp is not like the capital. If you are short of medicinal materials, you will be burned into a fool."
Chu Yunyang responded quietly: "Oh."
Zhu Qingchen deliberately sighed and shook his head: "I'm not very smart to begin with. If I get caught in the rain and get a fever, what should I do?"
Xiao Chengan and Wei Yuan couldn't help but lower their heads and laugh out loud.
"Teacher, I..." Chu Yunyang pulled the rope and tied the raincoat tightly around the collar, "OK."
The group put on their rain gear, and even Yuwen Zan, who was on horseback, had a piece of waterproof oilcloth hung on him before they set off again.
Sure enough, not long after we set out again, raindrops hit the bamboo hat with a "pat".
Zhu Qingchen raised his head: "It's raining."
Soon after, the rain got heavier and heavier, falling like beans.
And they were still some mountain road away from the camp.
Before long, the entire mountain road was soaked in water and became muddy.
Zhu Qingchen gave the order, asking everyone to dismount and walk to avoid the horses' hooves slipping or being startled by the thunder. They were to watch their step and not to rush, as the camp was just ahead and could be reached by walking slowly.
Even though Zhu Qingchen had made sufficient preparations, the rain was too heavy and neither his straw raincoat nor his bamboo hat could completely cover him. Many raindrops still hit his face and slid down his neck into his clothes.
Zhu Qingchen pursed his lips and looked back at Xiao Chengan.
Xiao Cheng'an was not unhappy at all. Instead, he helped Wei Yuan pull his feet out of the mud.
Seeing Zhu Qingchen looking at him, he smiled and said, "Teacher, it's our fault for not checking the weather. We have to get wet in the rain with you."
Zhu Qingchen smiled, broke off a branch nearby and asked him to lean on it and said, "It's okay, we'll be there soon."
"Yeah." Xiao Cheng'an happily took the branch.
Zhu Qingchen lowered his eyes, turned back, and continued walking forward.
It was on this road that Xiao Cheng'an walked back to the camp, carrying Yuwen Zan on his back, in the heavy rain and with mud all over his step.
Even if I don't carry someone
If you run back in such rain, you will get seriously ill.
However, his kindness was not rewarded in any way. Instead, Yuwen Zan's ghost lingered around and haunted him even after his rebirth.
It's outrageous!
Before the group reached the camp, they saw people approaching on the mountain road from afar. Yuwen Shu, with his personal guards, and the Duke of Zhenguo who stayed behind in the camp, came to meet them with the imperial guards.
The rain was too heavy, and they were afraid something might happen, so they took people to look for it everywhere.
The Duke of Zhenguo clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Xiao Chengan said, "Don't be polite, Duke Zhenguo. I'm fine. Go back."
"yes."
Yuwen Shu walked over to Zhu Qingchen, patted his bamboo hat, and put a piece of oilcloth on him, covering him up: "Master Zhu, are you okay?"
Zhu Qingchen shook his head: "I'm fine."
Zhu Qingchen turned around, glanced at Yuwen Zan, and winked at him.
Yuwen Shu asked, "Why is he here too?"
Zhu Qingchen waved at him, and Yuwen Shu lowered his head slightly.
Two people were whispering to each other in the heavy rain, and the sound of the rain just covered up the sound of their voices.
Zhu Qingchen said: "The rescue plot is over, but he was reborn, shouting something like forgive me, I will make it up to you."
Yuwen Shu also looked back and nodded in understanding: "We can only deal with it as it happens."
"Um."
Yuwen Shu opened a big umbrella, put his arm around Zhu Qingchen's shoulders, and the two walked together on the muddy mountain road.
Behind Zhu Qingchen, three students tilted their heads at the same time, even the angles were exactly the same.
What is this regent doing?
Isn’t this a bit too much?
*
When the group returned to the camp, they were still relatively clean, except that their shoes and clothes were all wet.
Yuwen Shu asked his personal guards to carry Yuwen Zan back to his own tent and find an imperial physician to check on him.
Of course, additional personnel were also dispatched to secretly watch Yuwen Zan.
As soon as a few people carried Yuwen Zan back, Chen Xun rushed out and cried to Yuwen Zan, saying that it was his fault for not taking good care of him. He originally wanted to come back and call for help, but he didn't expect it to rain so soon.
Yuwen Shu was too lazy to care about what happened between them, so he just had them both sent to the tent and locked up together.
Zhu Qingchen made a brief arrangement for the camp. If the rain continued, they might have to go to the palace. He then ordered the three
Each student hurried back to change into clean clothes, light a charcoal fire in the tent, and drink some ginger soup to ward off the cold.
After arranging everything, Zhu Qingchen felt a little cold and quickly ran back to his tent.
There was a sound of rain outside. Yuwen Shu sat in front of the door with his back to the door, while Zhu Qingchen hid behind the screen to change his clothes.
Zhu Qingchen threw the wet clothes into the basin: "Our original plan was that you would take him back to Northern Zhou after the plot was completed. What should we do now?"
Yuwen Shu said, "Just do what needs to be done."
"He is no longer a teenage prince. In his previous life, he killed you, ascended the throne, and razed Daxia." Zhu Qingchen wiped the water off his body with a towel and put on his clothes. "The enemy suddenly turned from a small monster into an ultimate monster."
Yuwen Shu said, "He didn't kill me."
"He killed the Regent, didn't you?"
"The one who was killed was not me." Yuwen Shu was so stubborn that he couldn't be killed!
"Okay." Zhu Qingchen thought for a moment, "What do you think he will do after he is reborn?"
"Chasing wife to the crematorium."
"In addition, he can also use the memories of his previous life to usurp the throne as soon as possible and go to war with Daxia as soon as possible, so we all have to be careful."
Zhu Qingchen fastened his belt, walked to Yuwen Shu, and sat down with him to watch the rain: "You can have both career and love, so-called rebirth, who is it for?"
Yuwen Shu turned around, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up from the ground: "You're already wet in the rain, how dare you sit here and enjoy the breeze?"
Yuwen Shu grabbed him and threw him on the bed. He found a blanket to wrap him up, pulled the two corners of the blanket, tied a knot, and wrapped Zhu Qingchen tightly.
The system sat next to him: "Chenchen, you are a little baby."
Yuwen Shu walked to the door again and asked his guards to bring in the charcoal basin and ginger soup.
When the charcoal brazier was brought in, the whole tent became warm.
Zhu Qingchen held a large bowl in both hands and drank ginger soup in small sips.
Halfway through drinking, Zhu Qingchen raised his head and burped at Yuwen Shu, saying, "I can't drink any more."
Yuwen Shu said, "Drink more. Your health is worse than others. If others drink one bowl, you should drink at least one and a half bowls. Otherwise, it will not work."
Zhu Qingchen blinked his eyes, rarely refutating, lowered his head, and continued drinking, almost burying his face in the bowl.
After drinking the ginger soup, Yuwen Shu's personal guard came over to report.
“
"Regent, Imperial Tutor Zhu, the imperial physician has checked him out. Yuwen Zan was fine except for getting caught in the rain. He is still not awake and talking nonsense."
Yuwen Shu asked: "What are you talking about?"
"This..." The guard was a little embarrassed to say it out loud, and his voice became lower, "'I recognized the wrong person.' 'I will remember you well this time.'"
Zhu Qingchen understood.
In the crematorium of chasing his wife, the protagonist apologized, repeating the same few words over and over again.
Any more and it would be too damaging to the protagonist's self-esteem.
"That's enough. No need to say more." Zhu Qingchen interrupted him, "Go back and keep an eye on him. Report back if anything happens."
"yes."
The guards retreated, and Zhu Qingchen couldn't help but yawn.
Yuwen Shu said, "He won't wake up so soon. Master Zhu, please get some sleep first. I'll wake you up if anything happens."
"Okay." Zhu Qingchen wrapped himself in a blanket and fell onto the bed. He fluttered his hands, pulled the thick quilt over, and covered himself with another blanket.
Yuwen Shu tucked in the quilt for him and stood quietly by his bed.
Because of the rain, the sky gradually darkened. There was no light in the tent, only the sound of dripping rain.
*
In the Northern Zhou camp.
The imperial physician simply took Yuwen Zan's pulse and found that his pulse was strong and there was nothing wrong, so he thought that he had fainted because of the rain and it was nothing serious.
Chen Xun threw himself beside his bed, crying bitterly, hating himself for getting "separated" from His Highness and for failing to protect Him.
After the previous two incidents, he didn't dare tell the imperial physician about Yuwen Zan's headache.
So he just cried and cried.
Only after the imperial physician left did Chen Xun wipe away his tears and raise his head.
A heavy rain made everyone uneasy. Soon, the rain became lighter, but everyone lost the mood to have fun.
The entire camp was silent, with only the sound of patrolling soldiers' boots stepping on the mud.
Chen Xun stayed by Yuwen Zan's side and even ate dinner by his bed.
It's not because he likes Yuwen Zan so much, it's mainly because...
He left Yuwen Zan in the mountains. He was afraid that Yuwen Zan would come to question him, so he stayed by his bedside, waiting for Yuwen Zan to wake up, explain things to him, and comfort him.
He sat on the edge of the bed, propped up his head, and stared at Yu Wenzan seriously.
Yuwen Zan did not sleep well, frowning tightly and talking nonsense from time to time.
talk.
Chen Xun listened carefully. He didn't hear him scolding him, nor did he hear him mentioning that he had abandoned him, so he felt relieved.
I don’t know how long it took, Chen Xun was almost falling asleep from waiting, when suddenly, Yuwen Zan opened his eyes.
Chen Xun was startled by him, but quickly adjusted his expression, holding back tears, and rushed forward: "Your Highness! Your Highness, you are awake!"
Yuwen Zan looked down at him with a cold gaze and deliberately asked, "Who are you?"
"I... I am Chen Xun! How could Your Highness forget me..."
Before Chen Xun could finish his words, Yuwen Zan suddenly turned his palm and grabbed his neck fiercely.
"You lied to me! You lied to me!"
During his coma, he remembered everything about his past life!
He remembered everything!
He remembered that when he was held hostage in Xia State and bullied by those young masters of Xia State, it was Xiao Chengan who brought him food and drink! It was Xiao Chengan who brought him medicine! It was Xiao Chengan who helped him out!
Later, when he arrived at the hunting ground, he was bullied by the group of young masters. He was surrounded by them and fell down with his head broken. It was Xiao Chengan who saved him! It was Xiao Chengan who carried him on his back and walked back to the camp step by step!
But because Xiao Cheng'an didn't want to reveal his identity, he only said that he was "Xiao Chengzi of Changqiu Palace."
When he woke up again, Xiao Cheng'an had ascended the throne and all the eunuchs in Changqiu Palace were driven out of the palace.
He thought that Xiao Chengzi was also driven away by Xiao Chengan, so he did not have a good face towards Xiao Chengan.
He sent people out of the palace to look for him, and finally found Chen Xun.
It was Chen Xun who deceived him, and Chen Xun claimed the credit for Xiao Chengan!
He held Chen Xun in the palm of his hand, and he doted on Chen Xun until he returned to Northern Zhou, became emperor, and counterattacked Xia Kingdom.
Chen Xun always said bad things about Xiao Chengan in his ear, and he believed it every time, and his opinion of Xiao Chengan became worse every time.
When the Xia Kingdom was destroyed, he made Xiao Cheng'an his dog in order to vent his anger on Chen Xun.
Chen Xun bullied him and trampled on him, but he always stood by and watched.
But in fact, he had long been attracted by Xiao Chengan's tenacity and moved by his bravery.
It's just that he was deceived by Chen Xun, and he couldn't accept that he fell in love with such a "vicious" person.
Until one day, Chen Xun wanted to send Xiao Cheng'an to the military camp and reward him to the soldiers.
He felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't go back on his word because there were so many people present.
Let Xiao Cheng'an beg him for mercy.
As long as Xiao Cheng'an begged him for mercy, he would have a way out and could release Xiao Cheng'an.
But no matter how he hinted, Xiao Cheng'an refused to beg for mercy. He got annoyed and let Xiao Cheng'an walk into the soldiers.
It was also on this night that Xiao Cheng'an snatched the soldier's sword from his waist, placed it across his neck, and told him the whole truth.
Only then did he realize that the person who saved him was not Chen Xun, but Xiao Chengan.
Xiao Cheng'an left a last wish and then committed suicide without hesitation.
He was extremely heartbroken, his hair turned white overnight, and he hacked Chen Xun to death and killed all the soldiers who had just encountered Xiao Chengan.
He hated Chen Xun for lying to him, hated Xiao Cheng'an for not telling him earlier, and hated Xiao Cheng'an for telling him the truth in such a decisive way.
He hated it so much that this hatred spanned past and present lives.
"Wuwu..." Chen Xun's face turned red as he was pinched by his neck. He couldn't even speak. He slapped his arms hard to make him come back to his senses.
It was Chen Xun! It was Chen Xun who deceived him!
If it weren't for Chen Xun, he and Xiao Cheng'an would have gotten married long ago!
Yuwen Zan grabbed Chen Xun's neck tightly: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault! Go to hell!"
Just when Chen Xun was about to be strangled to death by him, the guards arranged by Yuwen Shu could no longer bear it and walked outside the tent and shouted, "Fifth Prince?"
After all, the Regent asked him to keep an eye on these two people, and he couldn't just let one strangle the other to death.
Yuwen Zan was stunned for a moment and could only let him go.
Chen Xun fell to the ground, holding his neck, and coughing continuously, almost coughing out his heart and lungs.
Could it be... Could it be that Yuwen Zan remembered that he had left him in the mountains?
It shouldn't be.
The guard outside asked again: "Since His Highness has woken up, should we ask the imperial physician to see him again?"
“No need.” Yuwen Zan looked around and found himself in a tent. He was so happy that even his eyes lit up.
He immediately rushed out of the tent and looked around.
Dusk is falling and the wilderness is boundless.
The drizzle is still falling.
Autumn hunting! It's autumn hunting!
While it's still raining!
So it was the day Xiao Chengan saved him!
Yuwen Zan pushed his guards away and rushed into the rain.
Cheng An, here I come! I won't recognize the wrong person this time!
Yuwen Zan didn’t know which tent Xiao Cheng’an lived in, so he could only wander around the camp like a headless fly.
The guards hurriedly followed him: "Your Highness! It's getting late, it's best not to stay in the camp..."
Yuwen Zan pushed him away and continued walking forward.
Unconsciously, he seemed to hear Xiao Chengan's voice.
He ran forward quickly and came to the outside of the emperor's tent.
The sound of young people laughing and talking could be heard from inside the tent.
"It's still raining outside, Chu Yunyang, if you want to go out in the rain, don't drag us along. We want to sleep warmly in the tent."
"That would be too boring. If the rain continues for several days, the entire autumn hunt would be ruined. It would be boring."
Xiao Chengan's gentle voice came out: "It's okay, I can order you to stay for a few more days and play for a few more days when the weather clears up."
Who are these people? What is Xiao Chengan's current status? Why can he issue an order?
Why are things different from the previous life?
Yuwen Zan was standing in front of the tent when his legs and feet suddenly went weak and he fell to his knees in the mud.
When the three students heard the noise and came out of the tent, this was the scene they saw.
Chu Yunyang held his sword and protected his two friends: "Get behind me! Who the hell is this?"!
