Chapter 187 Jin丨Exclusive publication of Jiang Wenxue

Lu Xiaofeng was silent for a while: "Your fake death was related to Gong Jiu?"

Xie Heng: "Yes."

Lu Xiaofeng: "How much do you know about Gong Jiu?"

Xie Heng: "All."

Lu Xiaofeng understood, no wonder Xie Heng was hunted down by Gong Jiu's people. His mind raced, and he said calmly on the surface: "As far as I know, Gong Jiu has been captured by the people of King Taiping."

But Gong Jiu was still giving orders, directing his men to do many things.

Xie Heng didn't seem to understand his hidden meaning: "Yes." Lu Xiaofeng

waited for a while, but didn't wait for the next words, and couldn't help but be speechless.

Gong Jiu has sent people to kill you, and you still want to avoid this topic and cover up for him?

Could it be that Xie Heng colluded with Gong Jiu and deliberately put on a show in front of him?

No, this person may not be Xie Heng, maybe he is Xiao Qi.

Lu Xiaofeng resisted the urge to test his identity, "Prince Taiping arrested Gong Jiu, but did not kill him directly, could it be related to Luosha Sect?"

System: [Still limping? 】

Xie Heng glanced at Hua Man Lou, who seemed to sense something and tilted his head, "You guys chat, I'll go out for a walk."

"No need, we are friends, I trust you. You helped me, and you are involved in this matter, it won't do you any harm to know more." Xie Heng said: "Gong Jiu has nothing to do with Luosha Religion."

Xue Chen once said that Gong Jiu had nothing to do with Luosha Religion, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't seem to believe it.

Lu Xiaofeng: "Then why is Xiao Qi..."

Xie Heng: "Yu Qi is your friend, he comes from Luosha Religion, are you related to Luosha Religion?"

System: [Didn't you blame Yu Luosha in order to let him take the blame for your brother? 】

Xue Chen:【The situation has changed, you don't

have to be so rigid.】The situation was unclear at that time, and it was related to Gong Jiu's life and death, so no matter how cautious you are, it is not too much.

The system regretted:【Okay.】

Xue Chen comforted it:【Isn't it easy to blame him? A few words.】

System:【……】

Xue Chen:【Don't forget that Yu Luocha only gave Xiao Qi a short period of free activities. If he dares to bully Xiao Qi in the future, I don't mind giving him some trouble. 】

Lu Xiaofeng: "Of course I have nothing to do with Luosha Sect, but Gong Jiu is ambitious, will he really not take advantage of Xiaoqi's identity?"

Xie Heng looked at him strangely: "Do you think Gong Jiu and Yuqi have a good relationship?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "Aren't they brothers?"

He always thought that these two people grew up together!

Xie Heng groaned: "That's not wrong."

System: [Lu Xiaofeng is already lame, and you still don't let him go...]

Xue Chen: [Just tell me if this is true. 】

System: [……]

Lu Xiaofeng thought a lot in an instant. He remained calm on the surface and smiled: "Since Gong Jiu has nothing to do with Luosha Sect, if this matter is revealed to the leader Yu of Luosha Sect..."

Xie Heng: "Yu Qi will be the first one to not forgive you."

Lu Xiaofeng thought of the past interactions with Yu Qi, and said embarrassedly: "I just said it casually, I would never do such a thing. Please help keep it a secret and don't let Xiao Qi know!"

Xie Heng: "You don't like Xiao Qi?"

"How is that possible? Xiao Qi treats me sincerely, and he is carefree, yet innocent and childish, and his personality suits my taste. But he just came from the Western Regions and has no relatives. Although he speaks the Central Plains dialect well, there are still some misunderstandings. Sometimes, some of the things he says are really hard to deal with. And I don’t know why, when facing him, I always feel a little guilty."

Xie Heng: "It’s good that you know."

Lu Xiaofeng didn’t expect that Xie Heng, who looked cold and indifferent, actually cared so much about Yu Qi, and kept speaking for Yu Qi, and even wanted to defend him.

I really don’t know how these two completely different people knew each other.

Xie Heng stayed in Hua Man Lou for a day and a half. After Hu Sheng rented a good place and arranged the house, he drove a carriage and took Xie Heng to move there.

When they went there, Hua Man Lou was worried that they would meet people sent by Gong Jiu, so he went with them.

The journey was smooth and there was no danger. Xie Heng stayed in Hua Man Lou for a while, and agreed to meet again at some time, and then Hua Man Lou left.

Hu Sheng looked around and didn't see any strange people nearby. He closed the door and pushed Xie Heng back into the house.

He carried Xie Heng to the couch, massaged his waist and abdomen, and said apologetically: "I shouldn't have been so self-righteous and persuaded the young master to go back to Jiangnan."

Xie Heng said lightly: "There is no need to talk about the past. If you really feel sorry, go buy some snacks and bring them back. I haven't eaten sweets here for a long time."

"But..."

"Don't worry, Gong Jiu won't send anyone here again."

"But..."

"If you are still worried, carry me to the wheelchair. You should have seen the hidden weapons in the wheelchair. With these things, the waiter can't hurt me."

Hu Sheng had no choice but to do it.

After Hu Sheng left, Xie Heng pushed the wheelchair to the side of the bed, propped up his arms to test it, confirmed that the height was OK, and moved himself back to the couch.

He lay down and covered himself with the quilt. Just as he was about to control the movement of the main body, he heard the system talking.

[I thought you sent him away to do something bad, but it turns out you were planning to sleep.]

Xue Chen: [You know shit. I'm using actual actions to prove that I can predict the future. I hate the feeling of not being trusted the most.]

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the New Year atmosphere is getting stronger.

The Taiping Palace has been arranged properly. It's not even the last year yet, and there are endless things to do every day.

Xue Chen counted the input sent from the farm and stored it, and received several colleagues from the Ministry of War who came to give gifts. Then there was another victory report from the Taiping Prince. Gong Jiu's subordinates in Kuizhou were all wiped out, and the army was marching towards Dazhou.

After dealing with the business, Xue Chen went to Gong Jiu's place.

Gong Jiu rarely has such free time.

He seemed to be at a loss of what to do. He

suddenly emerged from the high-pressure environment, and always felt that there were still many things that needed his attention. After thinking about it, he found that those things no longer needed to be done.

He seemed to be abandoned by the world, and wasting time made Gong Jiu feel full of guilt.

In this situation, only familiar things can ease his mood.

Gong Jiu sat in the corridor, in a daze under the sun, and unknowingly spent the whole morning.

When he came to his senses, he saw his brother sitting on the bench next to him, leaning on his arms and looking at him. He didn't know how long he had been looking at him.

"Brother, why didn't you call me? Are you cold? Let's go inside."

Gong Jiu touched Xue Chen's hand. It wasn't too cold. It seemed that he hadn't been in the cold wind for a long time.

Xue Chen smiled and said, "Do you want to go for a walk on the street together?"

Gong Jiu was stunned.

Xue Chen: "I heard from Xiao Mian that the temple fair outside has been arranged very well. I haven't been to the temple fair yet."

The original owner was weak and very afraid of the cold. After the winter came, he would not go out if he could. Even if he went out, he would stay in the carriage and would not stay outside. Xue Chen searched through his memory, but the impression of the temple fair was still hazy.

Pei Rui had already called Zhui Ming to go out and play together, but his eyesight was not good, and his perception of the outside world was different from that of normal people. Even if he was there, he could not clearly see what it looked like.

Moreover, Zhui Ming and Gong Jiu were two completely different people.

Xue Chen looked at his brother in a daze, and took his hand, "Come with me."

Gong Jiu: "Okay, you are wearing too thin clothes, go put on some more clothes, I'll go back to the house to get the money."

Xue Chen's body is actually not that bad anymore. With his strong inner strength, he has long been immune to cold and heat. Since he is not afraid of the cold, he no longer wears those thick clothes.

However, he still needs "sickness" to protect himself, so he nodded, went back to change into thick cotton clothes, and wrapped himself in a white cloak.

He came out of the courtyard and saw Gong Jiu with a bulging purse hanging around his waist, waiting for him outside.

After noticing the footsteps, Gong Jiu looked over. Seeing his brother dressed in a familiar outfit, he also returned to their previous mode of interaction. He subconsciously said with concern: "Why don't you take a sleeve warmer? The day is gloomy and it seems that it will snow. You should prepare a carriage."

Xue Chen: "What's the point of staying in the carriage? Why are you nagging so much? Let's go."

He walked out of the yard first and turned back to urge.

Gong Jiu noticed that his brother was more lively than usual. He stared at him for a while and hurriedly followed.

The two brothers walked side by side, passed through the garden behind, and left from the side door.

The cold wind blew, and Gong Jiu put a hat on Xue Chen.

Xue Chen looked at the pedestrians on the road: "There don't seem to be more people on this street than before."

Gong Jiu: "It's almost time for dinner."

Xue Chen: "That's right. Ren'er, are you hungry? There should be a lot of snacks at the temple fair, let's go there to eat."

Gong Jiu was about to say that the things outside were not clean, Xue Chen held his hand and said jokingly: "Hold on to your brother, don't get lost."

Gong Jiu fell back half a step and was dragged forward.

After the initial discomfort, he also curled the corners of his mouth.

At this moment, isn't it what he has always longed for, to get along with his brother?

He used to think that the past could never be made up, so he insisted on his own way and didn't want to look back, but he never thought about cherishing the people around him.

Until now, Gong Jiu seemed to understand some truths in a trance.

He put aside the anxiety in his heart, ignored the eyes of other people around him, looked at his brother intently, and followed his pace: "Brother, do you know the way?"

Xue Chen: "I haven't been out for a long time, but I shouldn't remember it wrong. Don't worry, just follow me."

Xue Chen loosened his hand, and the two walked side by side to the street on the other side of Xiangguo Temple.

It was not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, so there were not many people coming to burn incense. There were small vendors on both sides of the road, selling fireworks and firecrackers, and some selling kites. You couldn't see the end at a glance.

Xue Chen stood at the sugar painting stall and looked for a while, then asked for a sugar lion.

Gong Jiu was very discerning. He opened his purse and took out a piece of gold from it. He was about to pay, but was pushed back by Xue Chen.

Xue Chen lowered his voice: "Put it back, I'll pay."

Gong Jiu's voice was confused: "I have it."

Xue Chen: [This prodigal son, even if he has money, he wouldn't spend it like this!]

System: [But this old lady selling candy figures looks very miserable.]

Xue Chen: [Don't treat poor people as beggars. And there are so many people watching here. She will be robbed after collecting the money, and she might even lose her life.]

People with luxurious clothes are eye-catching, and they are twins with exactly the same appearance. They have attracted a lot of attention along the way. Gong Jiu just took out the money, and those who looked at them immediately had some other meanings, but they both had good martial arts skills and didn't take it to heart.

"Be good, eat the candy." Xue Chen put the candy lion into his brother's hand, took out a few copper coins, and handed them to the old man who sold candy paintings.
