Chapter 367 Brothers
When Gu Lin was teaching Mu Lingying the distraction control technique, a team of people entered the north entrance.
The general at the head of the group was handsome and extraordinary, but his armor and clothes were stained with blood. Most of his soldiers were covered in blood and had a heavy look of exhaustion on their faces.
This general is the eldest son of Gu Wumu and Long Nishang of the Great Marshal's Mansion, and he is also Gu Lin's brother-in-law, Gu Qi.
Gu Qi, who was originally the commander of the Nine Xia Kingdom Heavenly Slashing Banner, led his own people, and when he galloped from the west to aid the north, Gu Qi changed the name of this galloping army to 'Champion Rider'!
This is because in the battle under the Imperial City, Gu Qi was given the title Hou by Emperor Xia, so the champion horse created by this Gu Qi alone is naturally deserved.
The Heavenly Slashing Banner is one of the core combat forces of the Great Marshal's Mansion, and when Gu Qi supported the Northland, only a small part of them were transferred, and most of them were mainly cavalry, so as to increase the mobility of the rescue force, and most of the soldiers of the original Heavenly Slashing Banner still stayed in the west with the Gu Dashuai to fight against the Hengwu Kingdom.
The performance of the champion cavalry in the battle of the Northland is also brilliant, although it cannot be compared with the black army, but whether it is the victory of Xia Yi City or the victory of Beining City, there are Guqi champion knights who participated in it and won countless victories, which also contributed a lot.
The reason why the champion cavalry arrived at Beikou at this time was because Gu Qi took the initiative to take over the task of pursuing the defeated army of Beihan, swept away the Beihan army near Beining City, and chased it out for more than 300 miles, so it was not until this moment that he led the army back to Beikou.
The rooms in Beikou City were already full, and the champion knights had already been mentally prepared, after all, there were Jiuxia soldiers who set up tents and lit fires to cook on the roads outside the city, and if there was still a place to live in Beikou, the army obviously didn't have to do this.
Hearing that Gu Da Shao led the champion Hou to the north entrance, Ren Heng dared to slack off, and hurriedly led people outside the city to greet him.
The champion rode smoothly into the North Exit, and under the arrangement of Ren Heng, the guardian of the North Exit City, he found a vacant land.
Gu Qi ordered the soldiers of the headquarters to camp and rest, and these champion knights fought repeatedly, and they were already exhausted, and they immediately went down to work happily.
After settling the soldiers, taking this opportunity, Gu Qi hurriedly asked Ren Heng about the situation in the north entrance.
Arching his hand to Ren Heng, Gu Qi said politely: "Ren Chengshou, I heard that the black army has entered the north entrance, dare to ask Brother Tai, do you know where my brother is at the moment?"
"Champion Hou is too polite, your brother is ...... Ren Heng hurriedly returned the salute, but he stopped talking.
In the face of Gu Qi's courtesy, he not only thought of Gu Lin, who he had never met yet, but he couldn't help but feel in his heart, he was also the son-in-law of the Great Shuaifu, and he was also a handsome man with great achievements, but why was the difference so big?
Sighing lightly, Ren Heng shook his head with a wry smile, seeing Ren Heng's strange face, Gu Qi couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?
"Not really. Ren Heng thought for a while and said, "Young Master Gu Lin is indeed at the north entrance at the moment, resting in the room on the city tower, but ....... ”
"But what?"
"Lin Shao has been closed since he came to Beikou, and I have asked to see him several times, but I have been blocked back. Ren Heng sighed helplessly: "Until now, I haven't seen Lin Shao's true face." ”
"How could this be?" Gu Qi frowned, in fact, Gu Qi knew his brother's true ability better than anyone else, of course, he had also been reminded by Gu Wumu and Long Nishang that Gu Lin was Long Gu's business, and he still had to hide it, otherwise once he attracted some powerful attention, he would put his brother in danger.
In the same way, he had already guessed that Gu Ming, the general of the Black Army, was his younger brother, who made the soldiers of the Jiuxia Kingdom marvel.
After thinking about it, Gu Qi was a little strange, "Why didn't my brother see you?"
"It's not just that they don't see me. Ren Heng said with some grievances: "Young Master Lin's shelf is too big, and if I can't see a small city guard, it will be gone, and it's nothing to me, but yesterday, the old general of Zhenbei Liu, as well as a group of generals, including General Liu Chenglong, wanted to ask to see Lin Shao, but they were all turned away. ”
Ren Heng looked left and right, and said cautiously: "Not only that, what Lin Shao did also angered the little prince, and at the same time made the generals quite resentful. ”
"This ......" Gu Qi gasped, he really didn't know what to say about Gu Lin's behavior, he clearly remembered that at the end of the Battle of Xia Yi City, when the Zhennan General Yang Zhong and a group of Xia Yi City generals wanted to ask to see General Gu Ming, they were also coldly rejected by the black army.
But that time, I knew that Gu Ming was Gu Lin, and he was the only brother.
I remember that Gu Qi also wanted to meet his own brother at that time, but he never thought that Gu Lin would say goodbye without saying goodbye, and even he couldn't meet his closest brother.
Of course, it was understandable at that time, after all, it was only a victory in Xia Yi City, and Beining City was still surrounded by the Northern Han army.
But now, the victory of Beining City, the entire crisis in the north has been lifted, why is his own brother still so unkind?
Gu Lin didn't know what to do, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Ren, please tell me what my brother has done at this north entrance?"
"That's the case, after Lin Shao came to the north entrance, he took a little maid into the room, and never came out again, I heard that Lin Shao beat the little prince yesterday. ”
Ren Heng lowered his voice and continued: "Moreover, last night, Lin Shao recruited two more beautiful women into the room, I don't know what he was doing, when General Liu came to see him, but he was turned away, and the prince made trouble under the pretext, saying that Lin Shao violated military law and wanted to take it down, but what he didn't expect was that the two beautiful girls actually ......."
Ren Heng told Gu Qi in detail what happened last night, in addition to repeating what Tian Xiang Mu Lingying said, he also focused on the identity of Mu Lingying's Patriotic Temple.
The more Gu Qi listened, the more confused he felt, it stands to reason that his younger brother should have a good temperament? Otherwise, how could he lead the Black Army to make such a great achievement, but how could he act like this?
"Someone. Gu Qi greeted loudly, and his guards Gu Yan and Lin Su immediately rushed over, "General, what do you have to order?"
"Let's go, let's go meet Gu Lin, we two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, to be honest, I miss him a little bit. Gu Qi solemnly clenched his fists to Ren Heng and said heroically:
"General Ren, my younger brother is young and frivolous and inconsiderate, I apologize to you on my behalf. I will also trouble the adults to wait in the council hall, and I will go to meet my brother, and I will definitely give you an explanation for his rude behavior before. ”
asked Ren Heng about Gu Lin's residence, Gu Qi took two guards all the way over, and went up to the city tower, Gu Qi saw the Gu family guards guarding outside the room at a glance.
"Da Shao! It's Da Shao here!" In the distance, Fang Yu was the first to see Gu Qi, "Quick, go and see Da Shao." ”
Fang Yu immediately greeted Lao Hei, Lao Dao and Shi Lei stepped forward, several of them were old men from the Great Shuai Mansion, and they were all elated when they saw Da Shao in this northern land.
"Meet Kira. Before Gu Qi came to the front, Gu Lin's four personal guards had already bowed down on one knee.
"Excuse me. Seeing Gu Lin's personal guards, Gu Qi was naturally very happy, and when the four of them stood up, Gu Qi stepped forward and punched Fang Yu in the chest, Fang Yu did not dodge, and held his chest up to receive Gu Lin's fist.
After a muffled sound, Fang Yu didn't move. Just listen to Gu Qi laugh and laugh:
"Fang Yu, I haven't seen you kid for many days, but he has grown again. Fang Yu smiled silently, straightened his body, and remained motionless.
Gu Qi's just words immediately made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
Lao Hei asked, "Why did Da Shao come over?"
"It's a long story. Gu Qi glanced at Gu Lin's room and asked, "Is his brother in it?"
Fang Yu nodded, and Gu Qi waved his hand, "A few of you are waiting here, I have something to look for him." “
Striding forward, he came to the door of Gu Lin's room, and Gu Qi knocked on the door of the room.
"Brother....... Gu Lin's voice came out of the room, and when there was laughter outside the door, Gu Lin already knew that his brother was coming.
"Open the door. Gu Qi spat out two words.
The door didn't open, and it took a long time for Gu Lin's voice to come out of the room
"Brother, I'm sorry, I don't want to see you for the time being. ”
"What?" Gu Qi's brows tightened together, and he asked with some anger, "You didn't even see me?" Hurry up and open the door. ”
"Alas......" Gu Lin sighed lightly and said through the door: "Brother, I really can't see you now." ”
"Why? It doesn't matter if you don't see anyone else, why don't you even see me? What are you doing inside?" Gu Qi raised his fist, just about to smash the door open with a punch, the golden true yuan light flowed on his arm, even if he didn't use the true yuan, the wooden door in front of him couldn't stop Gu Qi's punch.
Raising his fist in mid-air, Gu Qi exhaled deeply, but in the end he didn't smash it down, he lowered his voice and said: "Brother, I am your brother, the great victory in the Northland, you have the greatest credit, but at this time you locked yourself in the room, no one can see you, you tell me honestly, do you have something to hide from me?"
Gu Lin was silent, he didn't expect his brother to guess something, and after a while, Gu Lin said:
"Brother, do you believe me?"
Gu Qi said slowly: "You are my younger brother, you have done a lot of things that even I can't do, how can I not believe you?"
Gu Lin said in a low voice: "If you really believe me, leave immediately, I really can't see you now." ”
"I don't understand. Gu Qi's clenched fist was still raised high, and the true yuan on it flashed, "Can you tell me why you don't want to see me?"
"Because I'm thinking about whether or not to do something. Gu Lin said calmly: "This matter may not be too good, but it will be of great benefit to the Jiuxia Kingdom, I am very hesitant, I don't want to see anyone until I think about this matter clearly." ”
"Anyone? including me? I'm your brother. Gu Qi gritted his teeth and said, "What are you going to do?" You name it, I can help you." ”
"Brother, if I don't want to see you, even if you smash the door open, it's useless. Gu Lin's firm voice came from the room. "Don't force me, let me figure it out for myself, give me two more days, and after two days, I'll give you an answer. ”
After being silent for ten breaths, Gu Qi exhaled heavily, Zhenyuan dispersed, and he slowly put down his raised hand, "Brother, although I don't know what you're going to do, but I believe you, since you said two days, then I'll wait for you for two days." ”
Subsequently, Gu Qi said solemnly: "What I want to tell you is that no matter what you do, I will be on your side, I heard that I refused the generals' request to see, I will help you deal with this matter, you think about it, I just hope that you can communicate as soon as possible and come out to discuss with me, after all, I will always be your brother." ”
"Brother......" Gu Lin said softly, "Thank you......." ”
"Okay, you've grown up, and some things really need to be faced alone, so I'll go first. Without stopping, Gu Qi turned around and strode away.
Gu Lin quietly listened to Gu Qi's footsteps leaving, and said in an inaudible voice:
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to see you, but what I'm going to do this time is a big rebellion, if people know that I've seen you, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. ”
"You're real about this, you can't help me. ”
