As soon as Gu Yun finished speaking, he felt that Chang Geng's pulse was a little faster, and it could no longer be considered a pulse. The wrist he held in his palm was hot, and there seemed to be a volcano hidden under the pulse gate, which would burst out hysterically at the slightest shock.

When it comes out, the meridians all over Chang Geng's body will be shaken to pieces.

Gu Yun didn't expect that Chang Geng would have such a big reaction even after being so tactful. He was worried that something was wrong with him, so he stretched out his hand and gently pressed it against Chang Geng's chest: "Concentrate, don't think nonsense!"

Chang Geng pulled his hand off and held it firmly in his palm. The joints made a "crack" sound, and Gu Yun's eyelids twitched.

Chang Geng's face was like gold paper, his pupils were like blood. Infinite phantoms flashed before his eyes. In his ears, there were thousands of troops and horses ringing bells. There were shadows of demons and ghosts, and sprites were passing by. A Ur bone was drinking from his mouth.

The blood in my heart suddenly surged, the branches were covered with thorns, and the heart-wrenching feeling was like a lump in my throat——

And at the end of the Ur bones, there is Gu Yun.

...still far away from thousands of mountains and rivers.

Gu Yun was frightened for a moment, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't know how to continue.

At this moment, Chang Geng held Gu Yun's hand tightly with both hands and held it up to his chest. He seemed to let out a vague whimper. He closed his eyes and tremblingly pressed his lips to Gu Yun's frozen ice.

on the back of the hand.

Although Gu Yun had some uneasy speculations, he did not expect this scene in advance. Chang Geng's hot breath went up his sleeves, his scalp exploded, and he was about to blurt out the words "Are you crazy?"

Chang Geng suddenly pushed him away, stepped back half a foot, curled up, lowered his head and vomited a mouthful of purple-black blood.

Gu Yun: "..."

All this happened as fast as a flash of light. Gu Yun was already panicked before he became frightened and angry. He was stunned and choked by the words stuck in his throat, which made his throat hurt, and he stayed in place.

Chang Geng's face looked a little gloomy, almost ashen. After spitting out this mouthful of bruised blood, his heart became much clearer, and his consciousness gradually returned. He turned his head to avoid Gu Yun's hand that was coming to help him, and whispered: "Offensive"

I'm a foster father. If you want to be beaten or scolded... well, it's all up to you."

Gu Yun took a breath, and the many complicated feelings in his heart were combined into a long speech comparable to "The Quotations of General Shen Ji Pingzhi". He was so stunned that he didn't dare to spit out a single word. He was so suffocated that he thought to himself:

"He vomited blood before I asked him to accuse him. Do I still dare to speak?"

He bent down and picked up Chang Geng, and placed him on the spacious carriage couch. He calmed down the confusion in his heart and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up and adjust your internal injuries first."

Chang Geng closed his eyes obediently and remained silent.

Gu Yun stayed by his side for a while, rummaging through the carriage, but couldn't find a drop of wine, so he had to take down the anti-cold decoction on the small stove and drink it. The smell of ginger in it made his brain hurt.

He used to just think that Chang Geng might be a little confused, maybe he was influenced by the stupid things he did while drunk that day, and he had some inappropriate thoughts. He originally thought about this kid Hui Ji, and he would understand with a little bit of information. Who knows?

I just poked it gently and before I started ordering it, Chang Geng actually missed it first!

how so?

Gu Yun glanced at Chang Geng who closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing depressedly. With a half-understood fog on his forehead, he sat beside him and concentrated on his worries.

The ancients said, "Cultivate oneself, harmonize one's family and bring peace to the world." Gu Yun didn't know if he had never cultivated himself well, and as a result, his family and country were in a mess. He was very anxious and worried to death.

There were only a few steps from the palace to the Anding Marquis Mansion. Even if the carriage was pulled by a turtle, it would only take a moment.

As soon as Gu Yun got out of the car, a wooden bird flew towards him and landed on his shoulder, tilting its head and staring at him in a lifelike way.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind Gu Yun, and Chang Geng quietly got out of the car and caught the bird.

His face was still ugly, but he had returned to his usual calmness.

Chang Geng held the wooden bird in his hand and did not rush to open it to see whose letter it was. He just walked to Gu Yun while the old housekeeper was packing the carriage and whispered: "If my adoptive father feels uncomfortable, I can move out. No."

I will be an eyesore in front of you, and I will never break the rules again."

The blood in those eyes faded away, Chang Geng's expression looked slightly cold, his brows were lowered, showing a thoughtfulness as if his heart was ashes.

Gu Yun stood there dumbly for a while, and then turned around and walked away without saying a word.

Ge Chen and Cao Chunhua didn't know what happened the night before until they woke up early in the morning. They had already been waiting at the door. They hurriedly came to greet them, but they saw that Gu Yun didn't even say hello and passed them by with a sullen expression.

Chang Geng watched his back, with a dark expression on his face, a bit of bitterness hidden deep in his pupils. There seemed to be blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and his face was actually more haggard than Gu Yun who had been kneeling all night.

Ge Chen: "Brother, what happened?"

Chang Geng just shook his head. When Gu Yun's back could no longer be seen, he withdrew his gaze, stretched out his hand to open the wooden bird's belly, and took out a piece of paper from the middle.

The note read: "At the beginning of the first year of the year, Marshal Gu escorted the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince out of seclusion. He fell seriously ill. The second brother of the clan made a special trip from Taiyuan Prefecture and did not return until January."

The signature is "Chen".

The wooden bird had been flying for an unknown amount of time, and its wings had slight signs of wear and tear.

Chen Qingxu's words were so confusing that no one else could understand them. Chang Geng, out of caution, knocked Mu Niao on the back of the head.

The bird opened its iron beak, sprayed out a cluster of small sparks, and burned the note in an instant.

Cao Chunhua asked cautiously: "Brother, I see that Mu Niao has been in and out of the Hou Mansion frequently recently. Are you investigating something?"

"Looking into an old case." Chang Geng said, "I have always felt that although his temperament has not changed since he arrived in the northwest, his views on many things seem to have changed a lot. I thought it was the result of subtle changes on the ancient Silk Road in Loulan, but it seems not.

"

Ge Chen and Cao Chunhua looked at each other.

Chang Geng briefly recovered from the feeling of loss just now, and whispered in an almost inaudible voice: "What happened on the way out of Northern Xinjiang?"

What made Andinghou, who was rolled up in a quilt when the sky fell, almost fell ill on the march, and even alarmed the Chen family in Taiyuan Prefecture? Did he meet something outside the customs...or did he know something?

Chang Geng suddenly said: "Xiao Cao, Ah Chen, can you two run an errand for me?"

After Cao Chunhua left the house in a low-key manner, Chang Geng lived a life like a dragon that never saw its end.

Gu Yun tossed and turned for a long time. He wanted to find a day to have a good chat with Chang Geng, but he was shocked to find that he could not find anyone at all! Chang Geng avoided seeing him at all.

He had nothing to do all day long and was so free that he simply stopped taking medicine. He couldn't hear or see clearly, so he felt at peace.

At the same time, there was no stopping in the court.

First, Emperor Long'an wanted to restart the "Financial Order". As soon as it was announced, it was immediately met with a joint petition from the two ministries of workers and households. Even the Ministry of War, which Emperor Longan had purged into its own little cotton-padded jacket, had inconsistent voices.

Li Feng, the bastard, was determined to go his own way and quickly responded.

On February 2nd, first, the Minister of Household Affairs was found guilty of "accepting bribes from other countries for personal gain" by the Yushitai. Later, during the thorough investigation, a series of bad things including taking kickbacks by officials from various places were discovered, which soon evolved into

The largest corruption and fraud case in Long'an years.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry is a bit like my uncle. Although he has a heart for the country and the people, he does not have the courage to do so. He rolls up cigarettes whenever he sees it. When he sees the emperor's attitude, he immediately keeps silent and builds a house.

Now, I no longer dare to go against the True Dragon Nilin and raise the Financial Order.

On the tenth day of February, Gu Yun had been under house arrest in the Hou Mansion for less than half a month. A Black Eagle quietly flew outside the North Camp on the outskirts of Beijing, changed out of the Black Eagle armor, and put it into the capital overnight. He came in without anyone noticing.

Hou Mansion.

Gu Yun finally had the opportunity to meet Chang Geng, who avoided him like a snake and a scorpion.

Chang Geng brought the medicinal soup to Gu Yun, and the silence between the two reached the point of embarrassment: "A Black Eagle is here."

Gu Yun nodded, picked up the medicine and drank it. Chang Geng had already prepared the silver needle. Seeing him put down the medicine bowl, he spread the needle flat in front of Gu Yun and signaled with his eyes: "Okay?"

He was so distant and polite, which made Gu Yun even more confused.

Chang Geng no longer let Gu Yun lie on his lap recklessly. He was like a strange doctor. He only gestured or supported Gu Yun, and even refused to touch Gu Yun.

Gu Yun closed his eyes and rested his mind. As the medicine began to take effect, his hearing gradually recovered, and the surroundings became "noisy" - the sounds of servants outside the house talking in low voices while clearing snow, and the guards of the Hou family putting on their armor.

The sound of friction with weapons... and even the rustling of Chang Geng's clothes when he moved, all pierced Gu Yun's ears. He was deaf for more than ten days and was very uncomfortable.

Gu Yun suppressed his irritation and took the opportunity to ask: "Chang Geng, can you tell me why?"

Of course Chang Geng knew what he was asking and remained silent for a moment.

Gu Yun: "Is it because...I drank too much that day and did something to you...uh..."

Chang Geng's hand trembled, and the needle that was about to fall paused in the air for a moment.

He remained silent, and Gu Yun felt really uncomfortable in his heart - no matter how much anger he suffered from Li Feng, he had a clear conscience and could look up to the sky and the earth and face his conscience. But here in Chang Geng, although Gu Yun couldn't figure it out, he always felt a

The slap can't make a sound.

If he didn't have any inappropriate behavior, how could Chang Geng...

"No." Chang Geng suddenly replied calmly, "It was actually me who disrespected my adoptive father that day."

Gu Yun: "..."

"There is no reason," Chang Geng gently pressed his head to prevent him from moving, and said in an unusually normal tone, "What could be the reason for this kind of thing? Speaking of which, it's probably because I grew up with a father who didn't love my mother.

, no one has ever loved me except my adoptive father, so over time I have developed some unreasonable thoughts. You have never noticed it, and I didn’t want to mention it to anyone, but I was in a moment of anger that day and accidentally showed it."

Gu Yun only felt that a stone as big as his head fell from the sky and hit his chest with a bang, knocking him out of breath for a long time - he thought it was a temporary deviation of his true energy, but who knew it was actually Chen.

Chronic illness!

"You don't need to take it to heart, foster father. Just pretend it doesn't matter." Chang Geng said indifferently.

The needles in his hands were not messed up. If he hadn't admitted it himself before, Gu Yun would probably have thought that he was old and disrespectful and was being sentimental.

But how can we pretend it never happened?

Gu Yun was going crazy. A feeling of premature aging arose spontaneously. For the first time, he discovered that "Northwestern Flower" was no longer young - he began to wonder what young people were thinking!

"The emperor has called me to the court for hearings in the past two days." Chang Geng suddenly changed the subject abruptly and asked, "I heard them arguing all day long and a major case of corruption and fraud broke out, so I probably understand what the emperor is thinking.
To be continued...
