Chapter 219
Flowers are flying everywhere in the spring city, and the cold weather and the east wind keep the willows swaying. After experiencing the late spring season in the capital, the endless spring has finally left only a faint tail. The breath of early summer has quietly taken over this land. It's a thing of the past, and the buds of the fire pomegranate are blooming, and everything is declaring that the Ming Dynasty will officially enter the May of Liuhuo.

A sudden rain came unexpectedly tonight, the rain was continuous and dense, and it was not heavy at first.

The streets and alleys in the capital are deserted, but at this moment, a middle-aged scribe appeared in front of the Zheng residence.

The umbrella in his hand fell to the ground a long time ago, and with the gust of wind, it rolled and floated to the distance. Gu Xiancheng, who was dressed in green robes, ignored the rainwater falling from the sky, and stared blankly at the door with a pair of dull eyes. On the copper plaque above, the two big golden characters of "Zheng's Mansion" on the top are shimmering with golden light washed by the rain, which is extremely dazzling in this gloomy night.

When his eyes fell on the place where the signature was signed, it was surprisingly written by Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty. As if thinking of something funny, Gu Xiancheng suddenly laughed a few times, the laughter was dry and hoarse, and finally turned into a sigh.

All of a sudden, I feel discouraged, I have been empty in my life, as long as I have been with people who have been with me, I will praise him for being a man of heaven and earth, but only I know, he only wants to be with one person, and he will go into the sea when she is in the sea When she was in the fire, he followed him into the fire. In fact, that's what he did, but in the end... the lowered head had already been lifted up, and only then did he realize that the rain had started to increase...

Although the heavy rain was lashing against his upturned face, at this moment Gu Xiancheng seemed to have become unconscious, just like the two stone lions at the gate of Zheng's mansion.

At the end of the street, two figures hide under an umbrella.

One of them worried: "Hey, tell me, he doesn't want to live, does he?"

The other raised his head and glanced, a glint of insight flashed in his eyes, shook his head, and exhaled: "No, he won't die."

Wang An snorted lightly, and said disdainfully, "You know it again!"

The one looked back at him, and suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Wang, did you forget where the younger brother was from?" The voice was clear and clear, and the eyes were extremely flexible. It was Wei Chao, the second eunuch of Ciqing Palace.

"You're welcome, we don't dare to be your brother." Wang An didn't even bother to look at him, but his voice was filled with vigilance: "What's the matter, it turns out that the chief eunuch of Chuxiu Palace is now the second child in Ciqing Palace, you Are you not convinced?"

Hearing the beating and suspicion in the other party's tone, Wei Chao's answer seemed to have infinite meaning: "Brother Wang, the whole family doesn't say anything, brother, I will explain to you today, before yesterday, maybe I will try my best to get rid of it You dragged down, and then stepped on you to fight for the seat of the chief eunuch of Ciqing Palace."

This is stabbing a stick into a human lung duct!Wang An suddenly changed his face, and said angrily: "Okay, I knew you were a wolf cub, hmph! That's how your master fell into your hands back then! Now you...you dare to think this way about me!"

"The weak eat the strong, the law in the palace! If you want to live and live well, how can you do it without fighting?" Wei Chao's face instantly became gloomy, "You have a good master to protect you. What wind and rain have you passed through? And how do you know what kind of days I have lived along the way..."

In the dark and rainy night, Wei Chao's voice was cold and gloomy, "Huh, using the word walking is already too much for me, and the word crawling is more appropriate."

At this moment, Wei Chao's muscles were somewhat inexplicably distorted, which made Wang An tremble involuntarily, and looked at him with wide eyes vigilantly, all of which were guarded.

Forcibly forcing himself to regain his composure, Wei Chao sighed and said with a wry smile, "Don't be afraid, do you think I'm the kind of person who has no brains? Now that I've told you today, I don't have this plan anymore."

Wang An's complexion improved a little, and he snorted coldly in surprise and anger: "Who knows if you put a smoke bomb!"

Looking up at the sky, his dark eyes and the black night sky became one color at this moment, "Don't worry, His Highness has already seen through my thoughts, I dare not..." Suddenly chuckled, his tone Unable to speak proudly: "From today onwards, take good care of your seat, maybe one day I will be seated in a fair manner."

Wang An was dumbfounded, pointed at him, and stuttered in frustration, "You think I'm dead, how can I let you get what you want, hum!" Before he could finish humming, Wei Chao suddenly pulled back. After giving him a hand, his voice was low and startled: "It's not good, that person can't hold it anymore."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Xiancheng, who was already drenched in the rain, finally couldn't hold on, and staggered and fell to the ground.

Wang An and Wei Chao looked at each other, not daring to be negligent, and rushed out quickly.

Gu Xiancheng, who fell into the muddy water, was cold all over, with tears and rain on his face, his eyes were still staring at the gate of the Zheng Mansion, and he suddenly shouted: "...Is this the result you want? This is the result you want to fight for What? Fighting and fighting, where are your father and brother? Where is your home, and where are you?"

The shrill howl was like the cry of an owl, and spread far and wide in the quiet rainy night, it was indescribably shrill and astonishing.

When Wei Chao and Wang An rushed forward to help him up, he could only hear him muttering to himself: "Obviously I gave you the best way, why don't you go... I spent my whole life Hard work, in the end, what you got in exchange was just a deception of yours... But what about you, what did you get in exchange?" Suddenly he raised his hand, and beat his chest hard, again and again, until the corner of his mouth turned red.

"Is it uncomfortable to live in the dark all your life? Sure enough, he is the one who understands you best! Because he knows what you are most afraid of in this life... Are you afraid to die now?" Suddenly raised his head Wangtian roared: "But, what am I, what do you take me for..."

Seeing Gu Xiancheng who was crying, laughing and making trouble, Wang An's eyes widened in surprise. Although he really didn't want to talk to Wei Chao, the words slipped out of his mouth involuntarily: "What is he talking about... isn't he crazy? Bar."

This is why there is nothing more sorrowful than heartbreak, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, Wei Chao fixedly looked at Gu Xiancheng, and glanced at Gu Fu with resentment, but ignored Wang An's words.

"If Mr. Gu thinks about it, then come back with us."

The sound was like soaking in icy water, cold enough to make everyone who heard it grit their teeth.

Gu Xiancheng's laughter suddenly stopped, his face was as pale as a dead man, his beard and hair were washed away by the rain in strands, he looked up in an indescribable embarrassment, his eyes seemed to have become clearer, his mouth After moving a few times, the sound was already hoarse and unpleasant.

"If I don't want to go back, what are you going to do?"

Wang An, who had been stunned to the side, did not expect Gu Xiancheng's answer to be like this, and couldn't help but feel angry: "Excuse me for talking too much, my lord really doesn't know what is good or bad!"

The frozen Gu Xiancheng finally reacted, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and a sneer appeared on his face, don't you know what to do?And it does seem so.

Wang An's words had no effect on Gu Xiancheng, who was like a stone sculpture. Seeing Wang An's face flushed with anger and excitement, the smile on the corner of Wei Chao's mouth became more and more cheerful, and he wanted to say more Wang An's voice has become respectful and serious: "His Royal Highness orders, Gu Xiancheng listens!"

Is there an order?Gu Xiancheng let out a cold snort, his daze has become calm... that's right, the time has finally come for Tu Qiongdagger, if it can't be used by me, then the future troubles must be eliminated as soon as possible.

"Sinner Gu Xiancheng, respectfully listen to His Highness the Crown Prince's words."

"The crown prince has an order: If Mr. Gu wants to leave, no one can stop him, let him go."

Just let it go, the answer was beyond Gu Xiancheng's expectation, he raised his drooping head suddenly, the blazing light in his eyes at this moment startled Wang An, and thought: This person is really going crazy !

Wei Chao took a deep look at him, and declared boldly: "As long as Mr. Gu keeps his promise, don't disappoint his painstaking efforts." After finishing the last sentence, Wei Chao smiled, "Mr. Gu can hear you clearly, but do you have anything to say? Take the little ones back?"

It has to be said that Gu Xiancheng is hesitant at this moment, it is self-evident what this choice means to him, and at this moment, he truly knows the prince's sincerity towards him, and there is no falsehood in the slightest.But can I really let go of everything, return to Ciqing Palace, and return to the court?
In a trance, a very familiar figure appeared in front of his eyes, and at the same time, a pair of clear and unblemished eyes appeared. The two were like a revolving lantern, constantly spinning rapidly in his mind, going from one to the other. Come, never stop.The choice was so difficult that a moan of pain escaped from the back of his throat.

Wei Chao and Wang An stared at him closely, because the answer was about to be given.

The rain seemed to be getting heavier, and there seemed to be a distant sigh coming from the depths of the rain curtain... This made Gu Xiancheng, who was immersed in the dilemma, suddenly raised his head with a hint of panic. Looking around nervously, it turned out that it was just an illusion.

Dejectedly retracting his scattered eyes, the previous chaos finally became clear, and he said slowly but firmly: "Please reply to Your Highness, the two father-in-laws, Gu Mou understands the great kindness, please rest assured, Gu Mou will keep his promise, and he will grow old in the world from now on." , will never get involved in political affairs again.”

Seeing him hesitating all the time, Wang An, who was still holding on to hope, was instantly furious. He has seen a white-eyed wolf, but he has never seen such a heartless white-eyed wolf, and he is still a celebrity like this. Pooh!

It is reasonable to say that Wang An was angry, and he was the next to him because he was drenched in the rain all night, but he clearly remembered that when the crown prince confessed that he and Wei Chao sent Gu Xiancheng to the Zheng Mansion to fulfill his wish, there was extreme reluctance hidden in his eyes The expression on his face... The result now can be imagined, how much disappointment this guy who can't support the wall with mud will bring to the prince.

Wei Chao, who was also angry, said coldly: "His Royal Highness said that if the Lord chooses to leave, then he has no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient. But what does Donglin Academy say?"

Gu Xiancheng suddenly raised his head, his eyes were resolute: "Please tell the prince, there will be no more Donglin Academy in this world!"

After saying this, Gu Xiancheng, who turned around and left, was in a very calm mood...Since ancient times, people have been born to be lonely, coming and going alone; time is very short, the world is far away, and I have been begging for a lifetime, but in the end I come and go The next mountains and rivers, one day and one night, still have to walk quietly step by step.

Even though his feet were already wobbly, a gust of wind seemed to blow him down, when he passed by the Zheng mansion that made him heartbroken just now, he didn't even look at him anymore, even though his face was as pale as a dead person, he couldn't hide it What's more, his face is calm and serene.

Originally, Wang Anji looked down on him, but at this moment, he was forced by the invisible momentum around him, and he couldn't help but accept a bit of contempt. Looking at Gu Xiancheng who was walking away, he let out a deep breath: "I said, he might What an amazing person."

Without answering, Wei Chao used the same surprised eyes as Wang An, and quietly watched the figure that was fading away in the rain.

This rainy night is destined not to be peaceful. Compared with the scene in front of the Zheng Mansion, what is happening in the Zhao Mansion at this moment is quite exciting.

The shadow of the candle was red, the wine and the food were cold, Zhao Shizhen, who was standing motionless in the air with his wine glass, looked ashen and frightening, and Fan Chengxiu sat aside with an embarrassed face, not knowing what to say.

Zhao Shizhen was angry, all because of what he said just now, Fan Chengxiu was clear about this point, but for him, this sentence was like an arrow on the string, he had to say it.

The palm of the hand slammed on the table, making a loud noise, not to mention the frightened family members who were serving nearby, even Fan Chengxiu was startled.

"Fan Chengxiu, are you recruiting for your master?"
