Back Mountain Wooden House 

Don't call me so disgustingly

After the two men had left, Eunuch Si Xi helped Chu Yuan back to his room. Although he did not say a few words, he was so angry that he was choking and fat that he was holding the table and panting.

Chu Yuan laughed at this: "Don't be afraid of getting sick, there are no herbs here to help you."

"These rebels really want to rebel against the heavens." Eunuch Si Xi sighed, "It's a pity that General Shen is not here, otherwise it would not be their turn to run rampant."

"No matter how well planned we were, we didn't expect Zeng Xuan to defect to the Liu family." Chu Yuan shook his head, "A hundred secrets and one oversight, it's another lesson learned."

"So what is the next step for Your Majesty?" Eunuch Si Xi asked, "A small steward dares to act so recklessly, he must have orders from his superior, and I don't know what's going on in Wang Cheng."

"There is no need to worry too much about Wang Cheng, I have already made my plans." Chu Yuan said, "Besides, there is still Xinan Wang, Duan Bai Yue, who will not just stand by and watch the Liu House act recklessly. At most, at midnight tonight, someone will come to the rescue."

"Yes." Eunuch Si Xi first nodded his head, then knelt on the ground in tears, "I am afraid that this old servant will no longer be able to serve Your Majesty from now on."

"Why?" The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth lifted, "Do you want to stay with Liu's family?"

Eunuch Si Xi was still sighing and crying, but before he had finished feeling sad, he suddenly heard this sentence and was shocked and waved his hands, "Your Majesty..."

"I know, who said I was leaving you behind." Chu Yuan interrupted him and bent down to help him up, "Thanks to you, Eunuch, you have defended me from those with evil intentions many times in my childhood. This time, since it is to save the driving, it is necessary to save you out together."

"...... this." Eunuch Si Xi was embarrassed, looking down at his own bloated body and big belly, no matter how he looked, he still looked like a burden.

I should have known better than this and eaten less rice during the day.

In the alleyway behind the courthouse, Ye Jin was carrying a basket of vegetables as he walked past.

A team of guards stood with swords, their faces solemn and dignified, looking like a brick wall from afar.

"This road is impassable! Get out now." Before Ye Jin could even get close, he was already being waved away by flies, so he threw his head back in anger and spun around to walk back - if it were normal, he would have fought his way back, spreading medicine all over the place! No matter how bad or good it was, he had to find a way to see the top.

After strolling around the mansion, there was no gap to sneak in. Ye Jin felt tight-chested and sat in the corner teahouse drinking tea to quench the fire. By the way, he paid attention to the movement on the opposite side, intending to see if there was a chance to fish in troubled waters at night.

Time passed little by little, and the teahouse was about to close when it closed, Ye Jin turned over on the roof, hiding in the dark and yawning. It was finally midnight, and before the guards on the opposite side had time to change their guard, a group of men in black had quietly fallen from the sky, their swords in their hands fell cleanly, and they put people down on the road.

Ye Jin: “......”

"Someone! There are assassins!" Someone in the courthouse shouted out, recognizing the difference.

Torches were instantly lit up, lighting up the sky halfway, and the sound of swords clashing was incessant. Some of the people around were awakened by the noise, but they hid under their blankets, not daring to go out, not knowing what was happening outside, but shivering and waiting for the silence to return.

"Go!" Chu Yuan dragged Si Xi onto his horse and, with the men in black escorting him, killed his way out of Liu's house.

"Come on, men! Give chase!" Liu Man ordered in a fit of rage. The matter had come to a head and everyone knew what would happen to them if they let Chu Yuan return to Wang Cheng, so Zeng Xuan himself led his men out of the city with murderous intent in his eyes and a fierce look on his face.

The black-clothed men who came to rescue Chu Yuan were the shadow guards of the palace, each of them was personally selected by Shen Qian Fan, and all of them were secretly sent to the Riyue Mountain Villa in Jiangnan to learn light skills, their skills were very good. They will only come to the rescue in times of emergency. Even though there were many rebels, they killed one group of them, keeping Chu Yuan firmly in the middle.

"Release the arrows!" Zeng Xuan led his men to the high hill in front of him, trapping Chu Yuan and his men at the bottom of the valley.

As the cold arrows pierced the wind, Chu Yuan unsheathed his sword and left Si Xi behind him.

"Guard!" One of the Shadow Guards was wounded by an arrow, and as they saw that the other side was replaced by a new group of archers, they had no choice but to use their flesh and blood to stand in the way, buying Chu Yuan more time to escape.

The fire oil bomb rolled down the steep slope with thick black smoke, Chu Yuan's horse was injured in the right eye, neighing and throwing the two off them from his back. Si Xi lay on the ground and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, go quickly, leave the old servant alone!"

Chu Yuan waved his sword to sweep away the fire in front of him, stepped forward to pull him up, and led him out to break through. Zeng Xuan saw it in his eyes, spit fiercely on the ground, and took the bow and arrow from his cronies, intending to kill Chu Yuan.

"Watch out!" The shadow guards shouted at the sight of this. Chu Yuan only felt a sharp sound of breaking wind coming from his back and only managed to push away Si Xi before a sharp pain came from his back.

"Your Majesty!" Si Xi was scared out of his wits and crawled forward to help him.

"Kill him!" Zeng Xuan rushed down the hill with his sword and was about to take advantage of the situation when a cloth packet flew in front of him, the powder inside of which covered his entire face and immediately felt like a thousand packs of mosquitoes, painful, numb and itchy.

"You're still alive?" As soon as Ye Jin arrived, he saw Chu Yuan had been hit by an arrow and rushed to his side.

"Chivalrous warrior, chivalrous warrior, save Your Majesty!" It was as if Eunuch Si Xi had seen the light of day.

Ye Jin was crying at that, I am still a knight with this kung fu, how come to your eyes are still so bad after all these years.

Seeing that Chu Yuan was already unconscious, Ye Jin didn't have time to worry about the surrounding situation, so he cut his clothes and treated the wound for him. The Shadow Guards were still fighting fiercely with the rebels, and the opponent was killing them like a tide, round after round, seeing that they were about to be powerless, Ye Jin raised his head and roared: "Bai Laicai!”

The roar was too shocking, and Chu Yuan shivered in his lethargy.

An old man leapt down from the treetops in response, rolled on the spot like a native sun, and then killed the rebels. He didn't seem to have any weapons in his hands, but he wailed wherever he went. In an instant, more than half of the people were taken of their arms.

"Chivalrous warrior, is His Majesty all right?" Eunuch Si Xi asked, shivering.

"I don't know, if it's dead, it's dead." Ye Jin replied through clenched teeth.

Eunuch Si Xi nearly fell to his knees again.

After hastily dressing his wound, Ye Jin stood up and said urgently, "Stop fighting!"

With wild fruit in his mouth, Bai Laicai kicked the last of the rebels down the hill and then got a carriage out of nowhere.

Since there were still many rebels in the city, it was obvious that a quiet place was needed at this time, so Ye Jin made a quick decision and took Chu Yuan and the shadow guards with him into the mountains - there was a small house originally built to shelter from the rain when collecting herbs, and it was just the right place to use it.

"Chivalrous warrior, is His Majesty all right?" During the journey, Si Xi asked this question at least seven or eight times.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had hugged him as a child, Ye Jin would have wanted to knock him unconscious.

Chu Yuan's face was pale, his clothes were half stained with blood, and his fingers were cold. Fortunately, there were a lot of medicinal herbs in the hut, so Ye Jin boiled hot water to scrub and change his medicine, and Bai Laicai went back to Yunshui City to bring a lot of clothes, bedding and dried food and worked together for several hours to finish treating everyone's injuries.

Ye Jin was at Chu Yuan's side, checking his pulse from time to time, and was only relieved when he was sure that he would not die for a while.

Eunuch Si Xi saw the opportunity and said, "This warrior ......"

"It's not going to die." Ye Jin was so exhausted that he didn't even have the strength to blow up.

"No no no, the knight has misunderstood, this time I want to ask the knight his name." Si Xi bent down and gave a big salute, "Thank you for saving us this time."

"It's a small matter, I just had a lot of time on my hands." Ye Jin brushed his lips.

Si Xi: "......"

"I'll go to the mountains and see if I can find a red vine, it can nourish the blood." Ye Jin stood up, "If the eunuch is tired, you should also sleep for a while, you will be fine for a while."

"Good, good, thank you, knight." Si Xi nodded his head, but said with concern, "But it looks like it's going to rain." The mountains were inevitably wet and slippery and from the way they were fighting, it looked like their kung fu wasn't very good either.

However, Ye Jin had already left the door with his backpack.

The two uninjured shadow guards were sent up to protect him so that they could take care of him.

Sure enough, not long after Ye Jin went out, there was heavy rain in the mountains, and the thunder and lightning rumbled from the horizon, making people feel numb. It took more than two hours to go, Si Xi looked at the door three or four times until it was completely dark, Ye Jin was covered in rain and was helped back by the shadow guards, saying that he almost fell off the mountain while collecting medicine.

Eunuch Si Xi was shocked and rushed to boil hot water for him to wash away the cold. Ye Jin's stomach was full of fire and he felt that he was really unlucky. After sending his master's ashes to the temple earlier, he should have taken a different route back to Qionghua Valley, instead of coming to Yunshui City, but now he was in trouble and could not shake it off.

Chu Yuan was in a coma for two days. This afternoon, Ye Jin sat by the bedside and helped him untie his bandages to check his wounds as usual.

"Chivalrous warrior, chivalrous warrior, be gentle." Eunuch Si Xi looked alarmed, "Your Majesty's body is a dragon's body." Take your time with the medicine, you can't pat it.

Ye Jin grunted and dabbed the hand towel with the medicine powder.

Eunuch Si Xi looked on and sucked in the cold air.

Chu Yuan also grunted in unconsciousness and then opened his eyes with great effort.

The view was blurred, as if someone was looking at him, but only for a moment before it changed to another familiar face.

"Si Xi."

"Your Majesty, you have finally woken up." Eunuch Si Xi almost cried with joy, but in his heart, he wondered why the knight who was sitting at the bedside just now had run out in a whoosh, quite fast.

Chu Yuan closed his eyes again and thought for a while before saying, "Where is this place?"

"This is the back mountain of Yunshui City." Si Xi explained what had happened earlier and said, "These two knights are really good people." It was just that they had strange temperaments, one would hum from time to time and the other could not even be seen.

"Where is the person?" Chu Yuan's lips were dry and cracked, "I want to thank them personally."

Ye Jin squatted outside the door and grimaced, Who wants your thanks in person?

"Chivalrous warrior, chivalrous warrior." Eunuch Si Xi came out of the door and called, "Your Majesty invites you in."

"I won't go in!" Ye Jin stood up and got into the carriage with a flourish.

Eunuch Si Xi: "......"

After all, he had been seriously injured. A few moments later, Ye Jin got out of the carriage again.

The shadow guard who happened to be passing by was startled.

"What are you looking at?" Ye Jin crossed his arms in anger!

"I'm not looking." The shadow guard hurriedly lowered his head.

Ye Jin wrapped his head so tightly that only his two eyes were exposed and he entered the house.

Chu Yuan: "......"

Eunuch Si Xi was also surprised: "What does this mean, warrior?"

Ye Jin said in an urn-like voice, "I have caught a cold."

Eunuch Si Xi was suddenly surprised.

Chu Yuan kept looking into his eyes.

Ye Jin sat on the edge of the bed and dragged his wrist to test his pulse.

"May I ask your name, sir?" Chu Yuan asked.

"What do you care what I call it!" Ye Jin shoved his hand back and stood up, intending to go out to decoct the medicine.

"Tianer?" Chu Yuan couldn't help himself and try suspiciously.

"Don't call me so disgusting!" Ye Jin was furious.

Chu Yuan said in surprise, "Is it really you?"

......

......

Ye Jin was calm: "It's you, my ass."

"The Ninth Highness?" Eunuch Si Xi also suddenly reacted, saying that it looked so familiar.

"Ahem!" Ye Jin's eyes were sincere, "Who is the Ninth Highness?"

"Yes, indeed." Eunuch Si Xi cried with joy.

Chu Yuan also leaned over the bed, smiling and reaching out to him.

"Hmph!" Ye Jin turned around and left the hut, squatting by the cliff until it was dark, before being taken back by Bai Laicai, who had found him.

Chu Yuan was eating porridge in bed.

Ye Jin stood at the door, his eyes full of grievances.

I didn't really want to save you, so don't thank me and don't pester me!

After all, we don't know each other very well.

Chu Yuan lifted the blanket and tried to get out of bed.

"Hey!" Ye Jin took a step back and warned, "Lie back down!"

"I don't want to be in bed."

"You're the one who's not!" Ye Jin stepped on the threshold with one foot, looking like a bandit.

"Then you should tell me how to address you." Chu Yuan was a little amused, but his heart was also warm. When he was a prince, there were many brothers in the palace, but all of them were evil-minded, but there was never anyone like him who would sacrifice his life to save him.

"Call me Divine Physician Ye." Ye Jin thought for a moment and then replied.

"How rusty is that?" Chu Yuan frowned.

"We were already very rusty!" Ye Jin sat down on the edge of the bed, "Yesterday, someone from the government came to search the mountain, although they didn't come to the back of the mountain, staying here all the time is not a long-term plan, where are you going to go next?"

Chu Yuan said, "There is no place to go."

Ye Jin: "......"

Don't say you're really faking me out, as an emperor you need to have a backbone.

"The fact that even Zeng Xuan, whom I have always regarded as my trusted member, can betray me, I really don't know who else can be trusted around this Yunshui City." Chu Yuan shook his head.

Ye Jin said sadly, "Not even a single acquaintance?"

"This trip was originally intended to go to Qianye City." Chu Yuan said.

"I'm not going to Qianye City!" Ye Jin exploded at his words.

Chu Yuan was surprised by his reaction, looking at the situation, there were enemies in Qianye City?

"Only Qianye City?" Ye Jin was not satisfied and asked once again.

Chu Yuan nodded: "The Riyue Villa in Qianye City is Qian Fan's home, and he is the only one in this Jiangnan area that I can trust."

"I told you not to mention the Riyue Villa." Ye Jin stood up and walked around twice, then sat back down again, "Forget it, I'll take you back to Qionghua Valley, it's close by, so you can continue to treat your injuries." The city was far away, and there was no telling what might happen along the way.

"How is Old Master Ye doing?" Chu Yuan asked.

"He just left three months ago." Ye Jin replied.

Chu Yuan: "......"

"There is nothing to be sad about, Master was a hundred years old, it was a happy death." Seeing that he was silent, Ye Jin bristled, but his eyes were a little red.

Chu Yuan saw this and reached out to comfort him, but was slapped in the face.

He was really, really, really mean.

Inside Wang Cheng Palace, Duan Bai Yue was leaning against a plum tree, staring at the flowing clouds in the sky.

This place was originally a cold palace, and no one came here on a regular basis. One day, when Eunuch Si Xi was passing by, he found the soil quite fertile, so when the emperor became furious again, the plum tree would be temporarily dug up and brought here.

It wasn't until dark that Duan Bai Yue got up and went back to the Jinshui House. Duan Yao was sitting at the table, primping a pile of poisonous herbs, when he saw him, he sniffled and frowned, "Have you been drinking?"

"Just three glasses." Duan Bai Yue said.

Duan Yao grumbled, "You let me go to Liu's house day after day to find out news, and you go drinking alone?"

"What did you find out?" Duan Bai Yue asked.

Duan Yao replied, "I didn't find anything."

Duan Bai Yue shook his head, "It would have been better if I had gone for a drink."

Duan Yao nearly shoved the poison into his beloved brother's mouth.

"But I'm not asking you to go, I don't want to hear anything. The Liu House has been in Wang Cheng for so many years, so you won't be able to tell anything in just a few days." Duan Bai Yue said, "It's just that Emperor Chu is not in the city these days, so I'll keep an eye on them to see if there are any changes."

"So what if there's something wrong?" Duan Yao asked, "What else can you do about it?"

Duan Bai Yue asked in return, "Why can't I do anything about it?"

Duan Yao frowned, "This has nothing to do with us, so why should we get involved for no reason?"

Duan Bai Yue shook his head, "Who is the emperor in this dynasty is of great importance to the Xinan tribe."

Duan Yao yawned at the table, clearly not interested in the matter.

"Wang Ye." Duan Nian said at the door, "I have just received news that General Shen seems to have returned."

"Indeed." Duan Bai Yue was not surprised by this, "Where is he?"

"The Riyue Treasury, he has not returned to the General's residence." Duan Nian said, "Would Wang Ye like to go to a meeting?"

Duan Bai Yue picked up his sword from the table and walked out with great strides.

Inside the Riyue Treasury, Shen Qian Fan was in a cold sweat, asking his subordinates to deal with his wound. A sword wound had been inflicted through his chest and through his abdomen, and there was blood all over the floor, making his heart tingle.

A muffled sound came from inside the courtyard, followed by the sound of a sword being unsheathed: "Who!"

"General Shen." Duan Bai Yue stood in the courtyard.

As expected, ...... Shen Qian Fan draped his outer robe and opened the door to invite him in.

"The general is injured?" Duan Bai Yue was a little surprised.

"When I was about to enter the city, I was ambushed." Shen Qian Fan said, "There were more than thirty men on the other side, and all of them have been killed."

"People from the Liu Mansion?" Duan Bai Yue asked again.

Shen Qian Fan said, "Xinan Wang hasn't told us why they appeared in Wang Cheng for no reason."

Duan Bai Yue said, "Did Emperor Chu does not tell the General?"

Shen Qian Fan shook his head.

Duan Bai Yue said, "Then this king won't say anything either."

Shen Qian Fan: "......"

"Although I don't know what the general wants to do next, there is one thing that it would be best to tell you in advance." Duan Bai Yue said, "I am afraid that the northwest border will be in chaos again."

Shen Qian Fan frowned at his words.

"In order to prevent the Liu family from gaining too much power, it took the late Chu emperor twenty years to gradually take back the military power in the northeast. However, he probably did not think that these twenty years were also enough for Liu Gong to secretly set up a strategy to gradually control the situation in the northwest." Duan Bai Yue said.

"Does Duan Wang Ye mean the northwestern garrison of Great Chu?" Shen Qian Fan asked.

"Not the Chu army, but the foreigners." Duan Bai Yue shook his head, "The Shada of Anu is just a puppet pawn, and the real master of the Northwest Cavalry is in the Liu House."

Shen Qian Fan's face turned pale.

"Now Shada is in Wang Cheng, and my men are keeping an eye on him." Duan Bai Yue said, " Emperor Chu is not in the palace, Liu Gong should be looking for an excuse to take advantage of Guli's death to turn on the court."

"Since someone assassinated me on the way, Liu Gong must have guessed something long ago." Shen Qian Fan said, "The situation is critical, I need to go to the palace immediately."

"Do you want this king to help you?" Duan Bai Yue asked.

Shen Qian Fan said, "Your Majesty has decreed that if Duan Wang Ye has nothing to do, he should stay at home and not run around."

Duan Bai Yue raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't say that he can't help."

Shen Qian Fan turned onto his horse and headed for the palace.

In the inn, Duan Yao had just drifted off to sleep when he was picked up from the bed again, nearly crying with anger.

"You were worried about finding someone to keep your compulsion in the daytime." Duan Bai Yue patted his face, "Wake up, I'll take you to catch some live ones!"

Inside Liu's house, Liu Fude was urgently saying, "Shen Qian Fan has suddenly returned, he must have come to Liu's house, I wonder if Father has any plans?"

Liu Gong was sitting in the master's chair with a gloomy face and did not say a word.

Liu Fude was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Father, the situation now is not that you and I want to rebel, but that the court wants to dig up our roots!"

"Don't panic." Liu Gong stood up, "Go and call your third uncle to come."

"Yes!" Liu Fude turned around and ran outside, but he almost collided with the butler.

"Young master, young master, I'm sorry." The steward was too breathless to say anything else, he just presented the letter in his hand, "It's from Yunshui City, something seems to have happened."

Liu Gong picked at the fire paint and scanned the letter in general, and then his face changed. Only after a long time did he slam the table and say, "Men! Follow me into the palace!"
