Seeing the fragile and spiritless Shen Xiaolangjun, Qi Shan felt mixed emotions. He responded in a very gentle but firm tone: "Well, no, there won't be a next time!"
It seemed like an answer to Shen Tang and also like a warning to himself.
Gu Chi was used to pouring cold water on others. He was very disappointed: "Nine out of ten things in the world are not as expected."
Implications—
There will be this time, and there will be the next time, the next time, and the next time... until Shen Lang is unlucky and dies in someone's hands. If everything can go as people wish, there won't be so many unfair things in the world. Doesn't Qi Yuanliang understand this truth
Shen Lang is not young anymore.
At this age, one can already accept birth, aging, sickness, death, love, hate, and separation.
It is better to use white lies to deceive people, as the harm will outweigh the benefits.
Qishan: “…”
Of course he understands the logic behind these toxic chicken soups!
But now he wanted to turn Gu Wangchao into a dead octopus!
Qi Shan looked at Mr. Shen who was hanging his head beside him, weak, pitiful and helpless. Then he thought about Mr. Shen's lonely state. Even a cold-hearted person would not pour cold water on him at this time! But Gu Chi did it!
People say no!
Is this still what a human being would say
Qishan threw out a silent gesture with a fake smile!
Gu Chi suddenly opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth to make mouth shapes.
Qishan just pretended that he was blind and didn't see it.
When Gu Chi angrily lifted the "silence ban", the depressed Shen Xiaolangjun was looking at him curiously -
Apart from being a little depressed, with red eyes and faint traces of tears, his overall mood was relatively stable.
Gu Chi forcibly removed the "silence" and could not help coughing several times. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you looking at me, Mr. Shen?"
Shen Tang blinked and confirmed again and again that he was not wrong.
"Yuanliang, why is Mr. Gu here?" She pointed at Gu Chi and asked Qishan, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes and her heart beating nervously.
Could it be that he was kidnapped by Qishan
The possibility is as high as 99%.
Qi Shan said: "... He shamelessly asked for it."
Shen Tang: “Oh.”
I actually guessed wrong.
"... Who is being shameless???" Gu Chi didn't even think about refuting and instantly grabbed Shen Tang's attention - the situation had turned around - but Gu Chi paused, realizing that he had grasped the wrong point, and changed the subject to make amends, "I was kidnapped!"
Shen Tang tilted his head.
He cast a meaningful glance at Qishan.
As expected, they "love and hate each other". When escaping, they did not forget to bring their "old lover" who was both their enemy and friend with them. I never expected that Yuan Liang also had a hidden "tsundere" attribute. Unexpectedly, Qi Shan threw a big bomb in a bad mood, saying: "You brought this burden back."
Shen Tang: “…”
Shen Tang: “…???”
Shen Tang: “…!!!”
She gradually opened her eyes wide and cast a look at Gu Chi for confirmation, but the latter nodded with a heavy face. Qi Shan did not forget to add a knife: "Young Master Shen also said that if this person is not taken away, he will be killed. He even took out his sword..."
Shen Tang opened his mouth to explain that he didn't.
However, she had no memory of when she was drunk, so she could only analyze it from the feedback of people around her - when she was drunk, she was not only very powerful, but also had a bad temper. She was very domineering and might do something like robbing a decent man or woman...
For a moment, shame occupied her mind.
Her cheeks flushed with shame.
Gu Chi, who was forced to listen to the messy thoughts: "..."
Let’s put the rest aside for now.
Let’s first talk about what the four words “good family man and woman” mean
Gu Chi, who had lived for more than 20 years and was described like this for the first time, almost laughed out of anger. The smile on the corner of his lips was a bit dangerous and chilling. The more Shen Tang looked at him, the more guilty she felt. As a good girl with moral integrity, she knew that she was wrong.
I was prepared to apologize.
But he was blocked by Gu Chi's look.
"So, Mr. Shen admits that he has ruined my reputation?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Shan was choked by his saliva and started coughing non-stop.
The noise scared Su Shang, who was playing with his sleeves.
Looking at Su Shang, who looked innocent and cute, Qi Shan took a slow breath and asked in amusement, "Gu Wangchao, do you have that thing?"
Does Gu Wangchao still have a reputation
Gu Chi snorted coldly: "Having said that, if I hadn't acted in time, it's hard to say whether Shen Lang would be alive or not. This is a life-saving favor, Shen Lang, do you acknowledge it or not?"
Shen Tang was also speechless, and said carefully in a low voice: "Of course I acknowledge the life-saving grace. Thank you Mr. Gu for your generosity. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you. But ruining my reputation... isn't that too serious..."
People who didn't know the situation thought she had done something to Gu Chi.
Gu Chi: "When Mr. Shen was drunk earlier, he also said the same thing - Thank you Mr. Gu for your help. I will repay you if I have the chance in the future. As a result, he ordered people to knock me unconscious and abduct me. Mr. Shen, do you know who I am loyal to now?"
Shen Tang replied: "Is it Wu Yuan?"
Gu Chi said, "Yes, it was him. Although Wu Yuan is young, he is suspicious by nature, and even his confidants are on guard. You kidnapped me in public, and if Wu Yuan knew about it, he would definitely be suspicious and doubt my loyalty."
A subordinate who is suspected generally finds it difficult to be reused.
In a sense, his reputation has indeed been ruined.
Shen Tang was stunned.
Although he knew that Gu Chi was talking nonsense, he couldn't say anything to refute him. After all, many people in history were fired by their superiors because of the "estrangement plot" and then lost their power.
Qi Shan's eyes almost rolled up to his head as he listened.
Gu Chi has a "reputation" and is "loyal", which are definitely the two biggest jokes he has heard this year - let me ask, how can a person who is good at listening to people's hearts be truly loyal to anyone
He just didn't believe that Wu Yuan was truly who he said he was.
A young and tender boy can make Gu Chi truly fall in love with him.
Qi Shan dared to bet with a year's worth of dried fish from Su Shang that Gu Wangchao must have other intentions by staying with Wu Yuan, but he was only interrupted by his own young master Shen, and he didn't know if his plan was ruined. After all, Gu Chi was a man who held grudges...
Gu Chi was so upset by Qi Shan's undisguised words that he said unhappily, "I am more magnanimous than this."
Qi Shan sneered and said nothing.
Gu Chi also snorted at him.
Only Shen Tang was thinking about how to make up for it.
The conscience in her chest prevented her from repaying kindness with enmity. Well, most importantly, she didn't know why she had to kill Gu Chi. If there was a reason, her conscience could be transformed into Schrödinger's conscience.
It can be there or not.
Gu Chi's mouth twitched slightly, and he said helplessly: "Shen Lang, isn't it not good to think about these things in front of me?"
Shen Tang: "But it's a bit embarrassing to say it in person."
She just thought in her heart that Gu Chi could understand her attitude accurately, which could reduce many misunderstandings. As for whether it would annoy Gu Chi? This is a chaotic world where people are at the mercy of others, and it cannot be judged by common sense. The frankness that is not very pleasant to hear is always much more pleasing than the hypocrisy with sweet words. She thought for a while and decided to let Gu Chi go.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chi refused.
Shen Tang asked him: "Why?"
Gu Chi said: "In this chaotic time... I can't lift anything with my hands, carry anything with my shoulders, or wield a sword. Moreover, I am seriously ill and can't even tie up a chicken with my hands... Alas, if I run into the tyrannical and unreasonable rebels, I will surely die without a complete corpse, let alone return to my master and be loyal to him."
He described himself as pathetic.
Weak, helpless and pitiful.
Without waiting for Shen Tang to speak, he started talking about how poor his health was, how he was unable to be exposed to the wind or rain, and how he had to drink a bowl of expensive soup for breakfast and dinner every day to stay alive.
These medicinal soups were all reimbursed by Wu Yuan, which was also a major reason why Gu Chi was willing to be loyal. Now that he was kidnapped by Shen Tang, he was cut off from his daily life-extending soup, and he was afraid that he would not live long.
Shen Tang didn't believe him at first because he sounded so serious. But when he saw that Gu Chi looked sick and frail, and there was a faint smell of medicine between his sleeves and lapels, instead of the incense that scholars liked nowadays, he began to believe it a little.
She said in embarrassment: "Do you still remember the prescription?"
Gu Chi asked: "Why are you asking this?"
Shen Tang sighed: "I can't hurt my savior."
Gu Chi also sighed, with an expression that said, "This can't be blamed on Shen Lang, I'm willing to forgive Shen Lang," and he was tolerant, generous and understanding.
"You didn't do this on purpose. You can't be sure when you're drunk, and I don't blame you. There's chaos and war right now. You can't even find a doctor to treat your headache or fever, let alone get the herbs... If you can't make it, it's my fate."
Qishan crossed his arms across his chest with an expressionless face.
The left eye says "You act, you keep acting."
The words "I'd be stupid to trust a single sentence of yours" were written in his right eye.
It was written in the Heavenly Palace, “There actually is a fool here.”
Shen Tang patted his chest and made a promise.
"Mr. Gu, you can rest assured. I can't find a doctor, but that doesn't mean I can't get the herbs. I can even get the strychnine! I can definitely hand you over to Wu Yuan in one piece. I'll come forward and explain to him properly. I guarantee that I won't damage the relationship between you as master and subject."
Qi Shan finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It seems that the shadow of the battle in Xiaocheng has dissipated a lot.
At this time, the soldier who was taking care of Captain Yang muttered, "I remember that 'Strychnine' seemed to be able to kill people with just a little bit of it?"
Gu Chi: “…”
Shen Tang said awkwardly: "... I was just making an analogy."
After some banter, the atmosphere was not as suffocating as before. Shen Tang looked outside the carriage, but did not see the second carriage. Then she remembered something and closed the window, fearing that Gu Chi would be caught in the wind. She asked, "Where is Wu Hui?"
Qishan said: "I stayed in Xiaocheng."
Shen Tang paused as she closed the window, her face pale. Almost at the moment when Qi Shan finished speaking, a thunderclap suddenly struck her mind, exploding in her ears. At this moment, she couldn't think of anything, couldn't hear anything, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably.
I can't accept this sad news at all.
After Qi Shan finished speaking, he realized that his words were ambiguous.
If it were any other day, he would not bother to change it, but today, even someone like him who did not believe in gods and Buddhas hoped that gods and Buddhas could protect Chu Yao, Gong Shuwu and others, so he softened his voice.
"Don't get me wrong, no one is dead. The rebels' advantage was greatly reduced after entering the city, and Wuhui and his men took the initiative to stay and delay the rebels as much as possible to buy time for the people in the city to evacuate..."
Even though everyone knows that this is just a drop in the bucket.
but-
Fight for one more breath, maybe you can save one more life. The trend cannot be stopped, but the people who survive are the meaning of this action!
Only then did Shen Tang heave a sigh of relief.
But I still miss you.
"The city is dangerous, how can we escape unscathed?"
"Chu Yao and Banbu, two masters, one civil and one martial. If they are determined to escape, they won't be stopped so easily."
Gu Chi did not expose Qi Shan.
Someone may sound relaxed but is actually unsure.
I just don't want Mr. Shen to worry.
For a moment, the carriage returned to silence again.
Gu Chi also gave the prescription to Shen Tang.
Shen Tang looked at the densely packed medicinal materials on the prescription, calculated the cost of each medicine in his mind, and secretly took a breath of cold air - Mr. Gu is indeed worth a lot, and it is not easy to keep a sickly person!
One dose of medicine is equivalent to what an ordinary family of three would chew for a month, and his prescription is to boil three doses of medicine into one bowl, and drink two bowls a day. But even if you don’t know much about pharmacology, you know that these are all for replenishing qi and blood, nourishing yin and nourishing the kidneys…
Shen Tang looked at Gu Chi quietly from the corner of his eye...
waist!
This body is too weak.
If you drink like this every day, you will fall down if the wind blows.
However, since he was in the wrong, Shen Tang had to rack his brains to think of how to deal with these medicinal materials. Gu Chi also watched with interest, he wanted to know what solution Shen Lang had.
Only three ingredients in this prescription are relatively expensive, the rest are fine.
Of course, this is the price when times are stable.
It's hard to find it now as the country is in chaos and disorder.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Shen Tang sighing: "There are also 'doctors' among the various schools of thought, and those Qihuang medical books are also considered 'word spirits'... Why can't we just use a word spirit to heal diseases and save lives?"
Lack of qi and blood
It’s okay, one word spirit will burst his health bar.
She finally understood that the current words and spirits were mainly based on military strategists, with Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and the like playing a minor role.
Farmers, doctors, and yin-yang experts can't even get a supporting role. Doctors are obviously related to people's livelihood...
But if you think about the cruelty of this world, you can understand it.
It is better to study literature or martial arts than to study medicine.
The people you rescued after spending so much effort and working day and night may be killed as soon as they go out. When two forces go to war, a lot of people will die. Who wouldn't be upset
However, Shen Tang only complained in a low voice.
Qishan, who was petting the cat, seemed to be thinking about something.
Gu Chi didn't say anything.
The soldier drove the carriage quickly in one direction, thinking he would be safe soon, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, an arrow flew through the air.
Qishan was well prepared and raised a barrier of literary energy.
Shen Tang was alert: "Is there an enemy?"
Qi Shan: "Please be patient, I will go and check the situation."
He opened the car curtain, bent down and walked out.
"What's going on?"
The soldier looked solemn, fearful and relieved.
The arrow just now was aimed at his head.
Once you are shot, you will be dead.
When Qi Shan came out, he immediately regained his composure and pointed to the dense forest ahead and said, "Something is wrong here, there's a lot of blood..."
Not only is there a strong smell of blood, but there is also a murderous aura.
