The group galloped for miles.

The sun is shining, and the dazzling light shines on everyone, like a layer of golden light.

At this moment, the guard who was exploring the way in front suddenly rode over on horseback with a strange look and reported: "Qi Shizi, there are people waiting for Shizi two miles ahead." ”

The crowd rode extremely fast, and the guards who came to report the news retreated to the official road with great caution, and their voices fluttered in the wind.

Gu Jinxing frowned subconsciously, and didn't have time to ask who it was, nodding slightly, the horse under his crotch had rushed out without stopping.

The crowd marched at a gallop, and it was inconvenient to slow down or stay at will. Therefore, when Gu Jinxing saw a group of figures outside the official road from afar, he rode out of the official road, and ordered in a loud voice: "Commander Gu leads everyone to continue to move forward, and I am behind the palace." ”

Gu Bailang responded and continued to lead the guards forward.

Since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu began to build official roads. There are four gates in the capital, and the four official roads outside the gates are very spacious, enough for eight horses to travel in parallel. After traveling for dozens of miles, they each branched out to all parts of Daqin.

Gu Jinxing wants to lead the army to the northwest border pass, and this official road is the only way.

There are either sparse woods or open spaces next to the official roads, and there are almost no people. Only after crossing this official road and having a fork in the road will there be villages and fields.

Emperor Gaozu had good intentions. Intentionally, the place within a radius of dozens of miles from the capital was cleared to prevent someone from plotting against it and leading troops to sneak into the capital.

……

In the open space outside the official road, a neat line appeared.

At a cursory glance, there were at least two hundred of them.

These two hundred men, all of them with sturdy bodies and bright eyes, each rode a horse. Coincidentally, each of them also had two horses by their side, with bags of dry food and water bladders on them.

The leading one was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, who was slender and outstanding, very handsome in appearance, and firm in his eyes.

On the side of the boy is a young entourage with a round face and a smile, and on the other side, there is a handsome, calm and sharp young man.

Gu Bai rode past at a gallop, his gaze quickly swept over the young man's face, and his face, which had always been motionless, was rarely a little stunned. However, this stunned was only a momentary thing. In the blink of an eye, it was gone. The guards who followed quickly rode their horses to follow, leaving a dull sound of horses' hooves on the official road.

Gu Jinxing slowed down and rode his horse in front of the young man, his gaze extremely complicated.

Time is urgent, and there is no room for Gu Jinxing to sigh and sigh. He quickly stopped riding his horse and opened his mouth to ask, "Ah Yan, why are you here?"

This young man is none other than Gu Jinyan.

The two people beside him were naturally Gu Fu and Ji Tong.

Shen Jinyan's clear voice came into his ears: "Big brother, I'll go to the border with you!"

When he saw Shen Jinyan, Gu Jinxing had a premonition, and he refused without thinking about it at this time: "Nonsense! The border is at war, and it is a matter of life and death, and I don't know if I can come back alive." You will give me peace and stay in the capital!"

Shen Jinyan pursed the corners of his mouth, and a firm light flashed in his eyes: "I have already made up my mind, my eldest brother refuses to take me with me, so I will go by myself." ”

Gu Jinxing: "......"

"After I got the news yesterday, I decided to go to the border with me. The hooves of thousands of horses sounded in unison, and Shen Jinyan had to raise his voice: "Big brother, time is urgent, don't say more about it first, it's important to hurry." ”

He went out of the city gate overnight and led Ji Tong to stay in the post station for the night. Before dawn, I have been waiting here. Sure enough, when I came, Gu Jinxing came.

Gu Jinxing was both moved and headached.

However, the situation at the border is unclear. He was mentally prepared for the worst...... How could he bear to let Shen Jinyan die together?

"Ah Yan, don't mess around!" Gu Jinxing said patiently: "You must have secretly come here without the emperor and Niangniang! Go back quickly, lest the emperor and Niangniang worry about you." ”

Shen Jinyan has been well-behaved and obedient since he was a child, especially listening to Gu Wanning's words the most. Gu Jinxing naturally moved Gu Guanning out.

Shen Jinyan did not flinch this time, and the figure sitting on the horse was already straight: "I have already left a letter to my sister." When I come back from the border pass, I will go into the palace to ask my sister and brother-in-law for sin. Big brother, don't say anything, let's get out quickly!"

Without waiting for Gu Jinxing to open his mouth, Ji Tong, who had been silent, raised his eyes and looked over: "Shizi, the son has already made up his mind." We are also determined to follow Childe to the border. We are all guards of the Gu family, and at such times, there is no reason to retreat. ”

Shen Jinyan immediately picked up the conversation: "Ji Tong and they are all very good, whether they go into battle to kill the enemy, they can also accompany the secret guards to protect you." If you are not at ease, I will not go to war, but will be your accompanying military doctor. ”

Gu Jinxing was finally slightly moved.

There are many casualties on the battlefield, and there are never too many military doctors. With Shen Jinyan's medical skills, it is more than enough to be a military doctor.

"Big brother!" Shen Jinyan saw Gu Jinxing's expression relaxed, his heart was quite excited, and his eyes flashed with an eager and persistent light: "You let me go together! Although my surname is Shen, I grew up in the Gu family since I was a child. If not...... If it weren't for the revelation of my life experience, the person who led the troops to the border pass today should have been me. ”

Gu Jinxing was dumbfounded.

Oh, yes!

If it weren't for Shen Jinyan's life experience being revealed, the position of the prince of Dingbei Hou would have been his. The one who led the troops to the border pass today should also be Shen Jinyan.

Gu Jinxing looked at Shen Jinyan, whose eyes were full of earnest light, for a moment, and replied fiercely: "If you insist on going, let's go together! I have to arrive at the border in the shortest possible time, and I will march day and night, which is very hard. If you can't make it on, you can go back to Beijing at any time. ”

Shen Jinyan laughed, the light in his eyes was more brilliant and dazzling than the sun: "Don't worry! I will definitely be able to hold on." ”

……

"What?"

In the Jiaofang Palace, Gu Guanning Huo Ran stood up, his eyes showing shock and a hint of anger: "How could Ah Yan run out of the capital? Why didn't anyone come to deliver the letter last night?"

Linglong, who was in charge of collecting news inside and outside the palace and sending a message to Gu Wanning, immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Please Niangniang to calm her anger! The slave maid did not receive the news last night, and opened the palace gate early in the morning, only to know that the prince led all the guards out of the city gate last night!"

After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Gu Fu and Ji Tong both left with Gongzi. ”

Gu Wanning's face was calm, and anger flashed in his eyes: "What nonsense!"

I don't know if I was angry and bold and said goodbye, or because Qi Gufu and Ji Tong were "accomplices", and they hid such a big thing together.

Gu Wanning was rarely angry, but when he was really angry, even Linglong didn't dare to argue, and knelt honestly.

After a while, Gu Wanning calmed down slightly, and his gaze swept over: "Didn't Ah Yan leave a letter for me?"

Linglong hurriedly responded and presented the thick envelope.
