Chapter 161: May this sweetness remove endless suffering
Sikong Mansion, study room.
At this time, everyone had already left. Only Xiao Yuanche and Guo Baiyi were left in the entire study.
Guo Baiyi sat next to Xiao Yuanche's bed and asked with concern: "How do you feel, my lord..."
Xiao Yuanche waved his hand and said jokingly: "Bai Yi, you said you wanted to leave this world with me first. Why do I think I want to die before you..."
Guo Baiyi's eyes changed, his eyes turned red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master, don't think too much... There is no such thing as white clothes in the Jin Dynasty, and it is absolutely impossible to be without a master!"
Xiao Yuanche sighed, and said with a sense of frustration: "In my entire life, the only person who truly understands me and me is you, Bai Yi! I originally thought Su Ling would be the second one, but...
....”
Guo Baiyi's face turned gloomy.
"Bai Yi, do you think this Su Ling is starting to look more and more like Wen Ruo..." Xiao Yuanche sighed and said quietly.
Guo Baiyi's lips moved, as if he wanted to speak but stopped.
Xiao Yuanche glanced at him slowly and then said: "Baiyi, you call me eldest brother, and I regard you as a confidant. Now you are even unwilling to tell me the truth?"
Guo Baiyi then shook his head and sighed: "Brother, in fact, Su Ling cannot be blamed for everything that has happened during this period... It is not easy for Su Ling, he feels miserable!"
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he said noncommittally: "Oh? Am I wrong?"
Guo Baiyi shook his head and said: "Eldest brother is not wrong. Su Ling is a latecomer after all. It will take a long time for eldest brother to trust him completely. Not to mention Su Ling, it would be the same if it were me. If it weren't for me at that time
My senior brother is here to share life and death with the eldest brother. How can the eldest brother not doubt Baiyi like he does now..."
Xiao Yuanche lowered his head and pondered without saying a word.
Guo Baiyi said slowly: "Actually, Baiyi dares to say that the eldest brother is indeed a bit harsh on Su Ling!"
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he did not deny it and said: "Let's talk about it..."
Guo Baiyi nodded and said: "Brother, please think about it, what has Su Ling done for the eldest brother since he came to Kyoto? One opened a medical clinic and restaurant, and collected all the money in the world for the eldest brother; the other two risked his life to protect the young master Jingshu, if it weren't for him
, How could the young lady Jingshu be unscathed that night? When the three of them wore bloody edicts, they relied on Su Ling's strategy to check and balance all parties. Only the eldest brother could control the sand, kill Dong Si, shock the emperor, and choke the Qingliu; the fourth did not care about individuals.
If the safety is in danger, one person will ask Guan Yunchang to surrender, and the eldest brother will get a general;"
Guo Baiyi paused and then said: "Fifth, Su Ling entered the Forbidden Palace, and his words were shocking, but they also showed that the emperor was not interested in recruiting, and it also showed his determination to care about his elder brother; sixth, he checked the gunpowder
, Although it is also for the people of the Jin Dynasty, it is also for the safety of my elder brother. Please think about it, elder brother, there are countless gunpowders whose origin and use are not known. Su Ling is concerned about Sikong's safety, so he can't let go!"
Guo Baiyi secretly looked at Xiao Yuanche and saw that his eyes were moving, as if he was thinking, and then he said in a persuasive manner: "Brother, please think about this, which one is Su Ling doing for you? Medical Center
Eighty-nine percent of the profits from the restaurant belong to the eldest brother. Which of the other things is for himself? None of them!"
Xiao Yuanche breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said: "What Bai Yi said is true, Su Ling is indeed doing it all for me, Xiao Yuanche!"
Guo Baiyi nodded and said: "But brother, what did the Sikong Mansion give Su Ling? Is it more and more trusting or suspicious? Is it to give Cao Yu a position that matches Su Ling's contribution? Is it that Su Ling is covered with injuries and is only one step away?
I almost lost my life, but in exchange for my eldest brother being moved and sincerely caring?"
At this point, Guo Baiyi bowed and said: "Brother, Baiyi is so bold, because we can't help Su Ling! Not to mention, Sikong is fine today, all thanks to Su Ling's Huitian medical skills!"
Xiao Yuanche was speechless for a long time, stroked his forehead, and then regretted: "Alas! It is indeed my fault, Xiao Yuanche! I am too suspicious of him!"
Guo Baiyi didn't answer, so he couldn't continue to blame him.
After all, he is a minister, and Xiao Yuanche is the king. At this point, he can no longer go on.
Guo Baiyi was silent for a moment, and then said again: "The eldest brother just said that Su Ling is becoming more and more like Wen Ruo. In fact, this is not the case. It's not that he is becoming more and more like Wen Ruo, but that the eldest brother is treating him more and more like Wen Ruo."
It’s over!”
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he said with some confusion on his face: "Oh? Bai Yi thinks that he and Wen Ruo are not the same people?"
Guo Baiyi nodded and said: "Wen Ruo only wanted to advance to the Liu family, but what Su Ling did was not for Sikong's plan? The three things that made Sikong suspicious were that one was to set up a plan for heaven and earth.
The second one is investigating the gunpowder matter despite Sikong’s warning, and the third one is Jizhenxiang’s unwillingness to give in, isn’t that right?”
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "Yes, it is these three things..."
Guo Baiyi smiled faintly and said: "But in Baiyi's opinion, if it is these three things, then it is even more certain that Su Ling and Wen Ruo are different!"
"Oh? How can you see it?"
Guo Baiyi cupped his hands and said: "Brother, please think about it, what is Wen Ruoping secretly insisting on? It is the emperor's face, the Liu family's orthodoxy, this is his bottom line. But what about Su Ling? Put aside the consideration for Sikong.
Let’s talk about which of these three things is relevant to the emperor. What he is thinking about is the people of the Jin Dynasty. Aren’t the people of the Jin Dynasty one day my eldest brother’s people?”
"So, Su Ling has the heart to help others, and he pretends not to be the emperor, but all living beings in the world! This is the most fundamental difference between him and Wen Ruo!" Guo Baiyi said word by word.
Xiao Yuanche gently stroked his long beard, closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly nodded seriously and said: "What Bai Yi said is enough to wake up the dreamer. I almost made a big mistake!"
Guo Baiyi said again: "Brother is serious. Even so, Su Ling also pretends to be eldest brother in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't come to the rescue today! He can just ignore it! So, eldest brother, as long as you have the people in your heart,
Give Su Ling some comfort, why doesn't Su Ling hope that the eldest brother will take over as soon as possible!"
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "What Bai Yi said is very true... I will think about your words more in the future and remind myself! It's just Bai Yi, I also had difficulties before...
..."
Guo Baiyi nodded and said: "Brother, how can Bai Yi not know what he is thinking? You have long regarded Su Ling as the minister of humerus who will forever be the successor of the Xiao family, and he is also the best candidate... It's just an investigation of Su Ling.
The test should be carried out gradually, rather than in such an urgent manner, which would chill his heart!"
Guo Baiyi said again: "However, I understand that the eldest brother knows that time waits for no one, and the eldest brother is afraid that one day... At that time, you can really trust the entire Xiao family to a test
Half of Su Ling, yes or no..."
Xiao Yuanche sighed and said: "The one who knows me is Bai Yi! Bai Yi, Xiao Yuanche is old, and he is no longer the fierce and decisive general he used to be! If what happened today in Jianshu's case, he would be put there.
At that time, there were a hundred Xiao Jianshu, and I also destroyed him! But now I have to... Time is not forgiving, time has smoothed the edges of my heroic heart, Xiao Yuanche!"
Guo Baiyi let out a long sigh, and the two of them were speechless.
They are all two lines of clear tears.
"No matter when, Baiyi will accompany my brother..."
"Okay! Okay!"
... ... ... ...
The next day.
On the top of the east city wall of Longtai, two bloody human heads hung high, with teeth bared and their mouths grimacing.
The notice below the city clearly stated that there were going to be criminals in Zhonglang, who would rob Tan Jing's house for their own selfish purposes, and set fire to the house for fear of being exposed. However, the fire could not be controlled, and the entire Jizhen Lane was burned down. Now they have been punished.
A young man looked at the solemn words on the notice, and listened to the people in the city talking about it, and he couldn't help but feel endless sadness in his heart.
He turned around and headed towards Jizhen Lane.
Not long after, the young man arrived at the entrance of Jizhen Lane.
As far as I could see, the victims were huddled in every corner, looking haggard and miserable.
A child with a childish face and clear eyes full of tears was crying in the arms of an old man.
The young man listened carefully.
But I heard this child crying and heartbreakingly saying: "Grandpa, I want to find my father and mother, I want to find my father and mother..."
The old man, with his white hair disheveled, burst into tears when he heard this. He hugged the young child and cried endlessly.
The young man's eyes turned red, and he slowly walked over, lowered his body and smiled softly at the old man and said, "Old man, can I give this little guy a hug?"
The old man raised his cloudy and teary eyes, as if he felt that this young man was very familiar.
He saw that he had a kind face and was definitely not a bad person.
Then he nodded and said: "Master, in a fire, my grandson's parents lost their lives and turned into ashes. He was crying, so don't hit him."
He said and handed the child to the young man.
The young man gently held the child in his arms, his eyes full of soft light, scratched his little nose, and brushed away the tears on the child's cheek with his hand, and said with a soft smile: "You are a boy.
, how can you imitate those little girls who cry? If you don’t cry, tell your brother what your name is and how old you are?"
The child had no idea that his parents were no longer alive. He was just crying for his grandpa. Seeing such an amiable young man holding him with the slightest warmth in his arms, he raised his young head.
, timidly said: "My name is Achu...I am five years old!"
The young man nodded, his eyes still full of soft light, and his voice was gentle: "Ah Chu, dear, do you miss your parents?"
Hearing this, A Chu felt aggrieved and sobbed again: "A Chu has not seen his parents for two days...A Chu misses them."
One word broke the softest part of the young man's heart.
He hugged Ah Chu tighter and turned his head, already filled with tears.
But when he looked at Ah Chu again, the tears in his eyes dissipated, and his eyes were still filled with a warm smile.
He whispered in Achu's ear: "Achu, dear, wait until night, look up at the stars in the sky... Which two are the brightest are Achu's parents, they are watching in the sky
What about you? They don’t want Achu to cry every day.”
When A Chu heard this, he was happy at first, but suddenly his eyes looked a little disappointed and said: "But why don't dad and mom come down to see A Chu? The sky is so high, how can A Chu find them?"
There seemed to be stars in the young man's eyes, and he said softly: "Ah Chu, grow up quickly. When you grow up, you can see your parents..."
"Really? You're not lying to me?" A Chu tilted his head and asked innocently.
The young man smiled softly and said, "Brother, I never lie to anyone."
After that, he fumbled with his left hand in his arms for a while, and when he opened his hand again, four or five candies of different colors appeared on his hand.
He handed these candies to Achu's little hand and said softly: "Achu, be good, take these candies, Achu!"
After all, it is the nature of a child. A Chu's eyes lit up, he jumped down from the boy's arms, grabbed the candy, and said excitedly: "I went to find A Qing and A Qi, but they couldn't find their parents. They were crying. There are
After knowing this, they will definitely stop crying."
After saying that, Ah Chu jumped up and down the alley.
This young man stood in the wind for a long time, his white clothes blown by the wind.
The darkness in this world seems to have never been close.
May the sweetness of these candies eliminate the endless suffering in the world...
The old man walked over slowly, cupped his hands towards the young man and said, "Thank you very much, young master..."
The young man turned his head and said: "Old man, if you bear with me for a few more days, the temporary relief tent will be in place. Don't you already have the rations allocated by the court..."
The old man nodded, his eyes filled with muddy tears again, and he said after a while: "Young Master looks familiar, has he been here before when something happened here?"
The young man nodded and said word by word: "Old man, you may have heard of me. My name is Su Ling..."
