Chapter 244 Jin丨Exclusively published by Jiang

Wenxue "As long as Liu Yixuan doesn't know, everything will be fine." Yun Heyan took Yang Kang's package, clamped his hands, and pulled him out from the corner.

Yang Kang kept struggling, but he couldn't shake it at all, which only attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers.

He shouted loudly: "Liu Yixuan! Liu Yixuan! Who of you goes to call Liu Yixuan over, I will reward you with three hundred taels of gold!"

Yun Heyan said calmly: "Don't forget, your package is in my hand."

Yang Kang was extremely desperate and gave up resistance.

Not only because the package was not on him, he suddenly thought that if he died, the money hidden on his body would also become his. Moreover, he has been fighting with the army for a long time and has great prestige in the army. No one dares to go against him.

Even if someone is willing to report the news, Liu Yixuan may not be here.

System: [He looks like he is about to break.]

Xue Chen: [After all, he is young and has no experience in the martial arts world. If Da Mian had not met him, he would have been sent to Xiao Liu without any trouble!]

System: […]

The desperate boy was dragged all the way. He kept thinking about countermeasures, so that he did not react until he came to the battle after leaving the city.

Yun Heyan said: "Leave it to you, keep an eye on him."

Yang Kang calmed down and saw the person he wanted to see most at this time. "Brother!"

The morning sun was rising slowly, and the light with warm orange color fell on Liu Yixuan.

After hearing Yang Kang's call, the young man who was talking with Yun Heyan cast his eyes over and crooked his eyes, as if he was happy to meet again.

He turned over and got off the horse, and walked towards Yang Kang.

Yang Kang felt that he had survived a disaster, and even his breathing became easier. He ran towards Liu Yixuan and rushed towards him.

Liu Yixuan's body was slightly stiff, and he patted Yang Kang's back.

After not seeing him for many days, he had grown taller and looked a little like an adult, but his heart was still like that of a child. He hugged Liu Yixuan tightly and sobbed.

Liu Yixuan couldn't comfort him with words, so she could only let him hold her and patted his head with her backhand.

After releasing his emotions, Yang Kang let go of his hand embarrassedly. His eyes were red, and he lowered his head, looking very well-behaved.

"I left home." Yang Kang said, "It was a hasty decision, but I haven't thought about what to do in the future. But this is the best opportunity. After missing it, I don't know if there will be another opportunity in the future."

Liu Yixuan took off his cloak and put it on Yang Kang.

Yang Kang refused again and again: "I'm not cold, really, you wear it..."

Liu Yixuan tapped his forehead lightly, pointed at his clothes, and then pointed at the rising sun in the east.

When the sun rises, it is the coldest time of the day. The cold reaches its extreme, the heat on the ground is all gone, and the wind in late summer is chilly. The temperature of the fire in the city cannot be felt here, but there are countless tiny flying ashes. Putting on a awning can also block the dust.

"Thank you, brother." Yang Kang compromised, looking down at Liu Yixuan tying the rope, "It's a good thing you are here, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Liu Yixuan motioned him to get on the horse.

Yang Kang: "Do you have anything else to do?"

Liu Yixuan blinked, shook his head, took his hand, and slowly wrote on his palm: Send you back.

Yang Kang lowered his head and looked carefully. After distinguishing it, he asked apologetically: "Did I disturb you?"

Liu Yixuan shook his head and mouthed: I'm waiting for you.

"What?" Yang Kang thought he was seeing things, because even he didn't know that he would come at this time.

Liu Yixuan pulled his sleeve and urged him to get on the horse.

"I have a horse, and it was taken away by Yun Heyan's people." Yang Kang sat on the saddle and stroked the mane. "Is this your horse? I remember it's called Yinhe?"

Liu Yixuan smiled and nodded.

"I rode your horse, what about you?"

Liu Yixuan held Yinhe's reins and raised his hand to signal Yang Kang that he could lead the way.

Yang Kang said uncomfortably: "I came here suddenly and have caused you a lot of trouble. How can I do this? Let's switch."

The horses in the army are all war horses, which are not convenient to dispatch at will.

Liu Yixuan thought for a while, pointed behind Yang Kang, and then pointed at himself. Mouth-shaped: together?

"Okay." Yang Kang agreed decisively.

The two of them rode on a horse, with their backs to the fire, through the mountains and forests, and ran along the path for more than half an hour before they saw the tent stationed behind.

Liu Yixuan took Yang Kang into his tent, took out a pen and paper and put them on the table, and stared at Yang Kang quietly.

Yang Kang didn't know what to say for a moment. The excitement and worries after leaving his father faded at this moment, leaving only endless emptiness.

Fortunately, Liu Yixuan was very patient and stayed by his side.

After a long time, Yang Kang said, "I can't figure out why I live."

Liu Yixuan smiled gently, as if this question was extremely simple for him. He picked up a pen and paper and wrote: The meaning of life cannot be found by just searching, you need to create it yourself.

"Create?"

Liu Yixuan: Be brave and do what you should do. As long as you take a step, you will break through yourself, which is more experience than curling up and hiding for decades.

What should be done...

Yang Kang: "What should I do?"

Liu Yixuan: What do you want to do?

"I... I want to go back to the place where my mother used to live, build a tomb for her, and worship her. Brother, can you accompany me?"

System: [Is his address becoming more and more intimate?

Xue Chen: [It doesn't matter. Xiao Liu can't go with him anyway. She's not his nanny.] Liu Yixuan shook his head, thought for

a while, and picked up a pen and paper: I can't leave for the time being, but my uncle is planning to resign and return home. You can go with him.

Xu Qingrong is a eunuch. A new emperor appoints his own ministers. When the new emperor ascends the throne, it is impossible for him to reuse the confidants of the previous emperor.

His official position was not particularly high, but he followed the eunuchs' path and was always connected with people around Zhao Ji. Liu Yixuan had a way to let him stay and continue to serve, but Xu Qingrong himself didn't want to do it.

The Jin Dynasty was defeated, his nephew rose to prominence, and his sister and brother-in-law should rest in peace.

He immediately wrote a letter to Liu Yixuan to inform him that he was going back to his hometown and would leave after he returned to Beijing to see him again.

Yang Kang had lived with his uncle for a while, and was familiar with Xu Qingrong. They were also from the same hometown, so it was not abrupt for them to go back together.

Yang Kang was embarrassed: "But I was a little prince of the Jin Dynasty. Can my uncle really accept me?"

Liu Yixuan's enemy was Yang Kang's adoptive father.

Xu Qingrong was broad-minded, and she didn't bother with him when Yang Kang stayed with her. Returning to one's hometown to worship ancestors is another matter, and no one would want to bring the child of the enemy to the victim's grave.

Liu Yixuan: You are innocent. Your uncle would be angry if you didn't care about your biological father at all. Since you have chosen to go back, your uncle will not regard you as a Jin person.

"Okay."

Liu Yixuan frowned: I will write a letter to my uncle now.

Yang Kang: "That Yun Heyan, is he very close to you?"

Liu Yixuan responded with a puzzled look.

"I don't think he is a good person. When we first met, he went on a killing spree in the palace and drank human blood! Brother, don't get too close to him, there is no harm in being more cautious."

Liu Yixuan nodded: I don't have any contact with him on weekdays.

Yang Kang just breathed a sigh of relief when there was a loud noise outside. The ground under his feet seemed to shake. He stood up suddenly, "I'll go out and take a look."

Liu Yixuan grabbed him and shook his head.

Yang Kang: "Do you know what happened?"

Liu Yixuan: Don't worry, Xie Heng exploded again.

-

This time the power is much greater than expected.

Xie Heng was not careful for a moment and was shocked. His ears were buzzing. He lay on the armrest of the wheelchair and kept coughing. His eyes were staring straight at the fire in the distance. His eyes were bright and his excitement was visible to the naked eye: [I did it again!]

System numb: [ Yes.]

Xue Chen: [This worldview is difficult to break through the first time, but it is still quite simple later.]

System: [Yeah.]

Xue Chen: [It's time to proceed to the next step.]

System: [What is the next step? Your father ascended the throne? 】

Xue Chen: [That's all trivial, just a formality, just hand it over to the Ministry of Rites, I don't need to worry about it. There has been progress in the research of hot weapons, and the next step is of course monopoly violence. 】

The system didn't quite understand what he was saying, and this time it learned to be smart, and didn't ask directly, but observed Xue Chen and his several vests.

Monopoly violence, to put it bluntly, is to fight violence with violence, using state violence to curb individual violence.

State violence is criminal law, which must be implemented according to procedures and cannot belong to only one person or one group.

Xue Chen called Gong Jiu over, "Has Liufenbantang contacted you in the past few days?"

Gong Jiu: "Di Feijing passed on his name card twice. Lei Shu still didn't take any action. How about asking Yuan Feishuang to remind him?"

"Feishuang can't even see Lei Shu." Xue Chen sneered, "He has already reminded Di Feijing. With Di Feijing's loyalty, as long as Lei Shu wants to know, he will definitely tell him everything, no matter how big or small, without hiding a single word."

"That's right, brother."

"Lian'er." Xue Chen stood up, "How many troops can be mobilized now?"

"The front-line troops have not returned yet, and the new recruits are still in training. Only the imperial guards can be mobilized..."

Xue Chen knew at a glance that his brother was stumped by a math problem again.

He silently calculated in his mind that apart from the usual patrols, garrisons, and ceremonial guards inside and outside the city, four to five thousand people should be able to be mobilized. Forget about the

tens of thousands of spies in the Imperial City Department. Their functions are equivalent to those of the Jinyiwei, but they have been divided into two groups by the Divine Police Department. Most of their work is to gather intelligence, and their military strength is hard to describe.

The other government offices are similar. They are very powerful when bullying ordinary people, but they are as soft as cotton when they meet tough opponents.

The main force is still the imperial guards.

The first batch of imperial guards participated in the reform training. They were originally divided into three armies: upper, middle and lower. The upper imperial guards were divided into four armies: Bongri, Tianwu, Longwei and Shenwei. Each army was divided into three armies: left and right. There were a total of 24 armies in the upper imperial guards alone. The number of middle and lower imperial guards was even more cumbersome.

With so many people to support, they still surrendered when the Jin Kingdom came.

Xue Chen felt that the court had too many people who were doing nothing, so he waved his hand and only kept one third of them, and sent the rest to the front line.

Even so, there were still enough people to mobilize.

"Dispatch five hundred top imperial guards to besiege Liufenbantang." Xue Chen pondered, "Liufenbantang has a deep foundation and many experts. It won't work just relying on the imperial guards. We have to find a few more people to hold the fort."

Gong Jiu: "I'll go myself."

Xue Chen: "I'll go with you."

Gong Jiu: "Brother, why do you have to take the risk?"

It would be bad if Lei Shanggou got desperate and hurt my brother.

Xue Chen: "With you here, it won't be that difficult. Feishuang's status is awkward. If she is attacked, she will have to argue with him. I am worried about you guys facing such a situation."

Gong Jiu lowered his head apologetically: "I am too arrogant and I have to worry my brother."

Someone was sent to deliver a message to King Taiping. Gong Jiu took the token to mobilize the imperial guards. Xue Chen also came out of the mansion and found a teahouse near Liufenbantang to sit down.

Di Feijing was unaware of the coming storm. He sat at the table and calculated the income and expenditure of this period of time.

Yuan Feishuang was walking around in the room, and the bright pink color appeared in Di Feijing's sight from time to time.

"What's wrong?" After Di Feijing finished calculating, he put down the pen and asked in a warm voice.

"It's too late!" Yuan Feishuang slumped on the table, legs bent, body crouched low, like a beautiful puppy that made a mistake, raised his eyes and looked at his senior brother, "Why didn't Lei Suo move?"

Di Fei was shocked: "What the chief hall master does, he has his reasons."

"What reason! He just doesn't want to admit that he lost!" Yuan Feishuang pushed the documents on the table forward, "Six and a half minutes hall is already just a facade!"

The paper hit the wet pen tip, spreading an ink stain.

Di Fei was surprised and said nothing. He picked up the waste paper next to him, put it on the ink and sucked it. The color of the stain became lighter, and the handwriting below could be distinguished.

"I know." Yuan Feishuang suddenly held his hand, his voice slightly hoarse, "Brother, you did it on purpose, right? In fact, you never told Lei Shou anything, and didn't remind him of anything, just to watch him destroy himself!"

Di Fei was surprised and paused.

"Am I right?" Yuan Feishuang laughed softly.

"That's not the case."

"But your actions are exactly the same as what I told you."

Yuan Feishuang held his hand tighter and tighter. His fingers were cold, as if he was afraid of something. His feminine voice lost its madness and trembled as he said, "Brother, let's go back to the mountain."

Di Fei was surprised that he had never felt his junior brother's fear so clearly.

He put his other hand on the back of the boy's cold hand. Without saying anything, he already understood what the other person was thinking.

Yuan Feishuang's experience was more innocent than that of outsiders. He didn't have much and didn't care about much, so he took everything very seriously.

Perhaps the departure of his master stimulated him. Although his junior brother didn't spend much time with him, he regarded him as an important person in his life because of the title of "brother".

This intention is so pure, there should be no other person in the world who cherishes himself more than the junior brother.

There has always been a rumor in the world that if you have no friends, then find Di Feijing, he will be the most loyal friend; if no one understands you, then find Di Feijing, he will be your confidant; if you get into trouble, then find Di Feijing, he will solve all the difficulties; if you want to commit suicide, then find Di Feijing, he will give you a chance to live again. (Note)

Those who want to make friends with Di Feijing, have they really been friends with Di Feijing for a long time?

They have never even seen Di Feijing.

Even because Di Feijing is low-key, there are very few rumors about him in the world.

These "friends" don't want to make friends with Di Feijing, they just like Di Feijing's understanding, loyalty, and power.

Di Feijing knew it clearly, so it was not easy for him to see him.

The only person who could see him all the time was Lei Shu.

Di Feijing had been lonely since childhood, and was disabled because of his martial arts. He spent many years in poverty until he met Lei Shu and soared to the sky.

Everything he had was given by Lei Shu. If it weren't for Lei Shu, he might have died in obscurity in a corner.

Facing the true feelings of his junior brother, Di Feijing suddenly realized that Lei Shu's kindness to him was also conditional.

If he didn't have this martial arts, if he didn't entrust his body and mind to Lei Shu, he would never have lived under Lei Shu's hands for another day.

Only his junior brother didn't value those external things.

In his eyes, Di Feijin's status and position were all burdens, and even the grappling technique that crippled him was not something worth treating differently.

Di Feijin was just Di Feijin.

He couldn't tell that he was still ignorant about matters between men and women, and he probably wouldn't have a lover in the future, let alone a child.

He only had his senior brother.

Yuan Feishuang had been rejected too many times, and when he begged again, he was in despair. He didn't want to see Di Feijin's helpless and sad look, so he kept his head down, his eyes on his senior brother's hand with a thin band.

The young man's voice trembled: "Senior brother..."

A hot tear fell on the back of Di Feijin's hand.

Xue Chen: [Finally squeezed it out.]

System: [Don't say anything! The atmosphere is gone! Yuan Feishuang

quickly wiped away his tears with his sleeves, pretending that nothing had happened.

He stood up, taking advantage of the fact that Di Feijin could not raise his head, and hurriedly wiped the tears from his face, sniffing, "You are so annoying."

Di Feijin, who had his head lowered, curled the corners of his mouth when he heard this.

He stood up from the table, called out to Yuan Feishuang who was about to run away, and said in a gentler tone than ever before, "Junior brother."

"Humph."

"You have advised me several times, but you never made your words clear. I am stupid and cannot understand your true meaning. May I trouble you to say a few more words? What do you want me to do?"

Yuan Feishuang did not expect to succeed suddenly, and looked at him blankly.

"Junior brother?"

"Don't interfere in the affairs of the Six and a Half Hall and the court anymore. Lei Shuo doesn't want to show up, so don't bother. Senior brother is only the second in command of the Six and a Half Hall. The more you do for Lei Shuo, the angrier Xue Chen will be."

Di Feijing suddenly understood what he meant.

The truth was so simple.

Past experiences also told him that being the second in command would only threaten Lei Shuo's position.

Countless people felt that Lei Shuo would not tolerate him, and even Di Feijing's reputation in the hall far exceeded Lei Shuo's.

Only Di Feijing himself knew that although Lei Shuo seemed to seldom show up and leave everything to him, in fact, everything he did was to guess Lei Shuo's intentions.

Di Feijing felt that as long as Lei Shuo didn't care, he could always be the agent, and the same was true when dealing with other forces.

I didn't expect to run into a wall at the court.

"Thank you for your reminder, Junior Brother." Di Feijing walked over, took Yuan Feishuang's hand, and took him back to the table.

He stood beside him, like a normal person, looking down at his Junior Brother, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his tears.

"You mentioned Xue Chen several times. I guess Xue Chen is the one who has the final say among the two brothers." Di Feijing said, "Is he good to you?"

"Very good."

In Di Feijing's memory, his Junior Brother was quirky and rarely saw him in such a dazed look.

He couldn't help but worry, and his tone was also condescending: "Junior Brother, since Xue Ming listens to his brother, if Xue Ming didn't agree, how could he bully you everywhere?"

System: [Even Di Feijing may not be able to judge people accurately. 】

Xue Chen: 【What he said makes sense, if Xiaofen and I are not the same person. But Xiaofen is so angry that my brother is half dead. If the real body stands on the side of the vest, my brother will have no chance of survival.】

System: 【How do you know if you don’t try it? Maybe he likes this feeling of suffocation?】

Xue Chen: [Tong, you have become bad.]
