Gu Wanning Huo Ran's color changed: "What did you say? Say it again!"

Linglong's tears that had been stored for a long time burst out of her eyes: "Niangniang, the eldest master died on the battlefield!"

It's a bolt from the blue, but that's it!

With Gu Wanning's calmness and composure, when he heard such unprepared bad news, he also felt that the world was spinning and his heart was cold.

A blurry face flashed in front of my eyes.

After Gu Zhan's death in his previous life, Gu Song went to the border pass until he was seriously injured and died at the border pass. Gu Wanning had no impression of this in-law uncle for a long time, and he couldn't even remember what he looked like.

She only remembered that Gu Chung had a kind temperament, was calm and few words, and was a reliable and reassuring elder. In the past ten years, Gu Song has replaced Gu Zhan, guarding the border passes and guarding the Great Qin River. Although he is not in the capital, he is the backbone of the Dingbei Hou Mansion. With him for a day, the Gu family will stand safely.

Battles broke out at the border gates, the external enemy was strong, and there were internal traitors in the army. The war was critical, and she was prepared for the worst.

But when this moment really came, she realized how cold and terrible it was......

"Niangniang," Linglong shouted tremblingly, "what now?"

Gu Wanning looked at Linglong a little blankly.

Linglong had never seen Gu Wanning look so flustered and ownerless, and she was anxious and distressed for a while, and tears kept pouring out.

Linlang also looked worried, and her eyes were already red.

The only one who was calm was Chen Yueniang.

"Don't panic. Chen Yueniang said in a deep voice: "Dingbei Hou sacrificed his life for the country and died on the battlefield, which is the glory of the Gu family. The emperor will not forget him, and the officials and the people will always remember him. ”

"For more than 100 years, most of Gu Jiaerlang's bodies were shrouded in horse leather and died on the battlefield. This is the best destination for the Gu family's son! The slave believes that when the Hou Ye goes underground, he still has no regrets!"

"Niangniang doesn't have to worry about the border army. Hou Ye was surrounded by hundreds of Gu family generals, most of whom held important positions in the army. With them, the border army will not break up, and it will definitely stop the enemy!"

These impassioned words aroused the blood in everyone's hearts.

After the initial shock and sadness, Gu Guanning also quickly calmed down. She glanced at Chen Yueniang gratefully: "Thank you Master for reminding her." ”

Once again, she was glad that her grandmother had given her master.

Over the years, Chen Yueniang has not made many shots. However, it can always make a great difference in the most critical times. At this moment, only Chen Yueniang can stay sober and calm.

Chen Yueniang was not shocked and sad in her heart? It's just that her father and husband died at the border pass. For her, this pain has long been a lingering imprint in her life.

No matter how painful it is, you have to hold on.

"The news of Hou Ye's death in battle should have just been sent to the capital. The Dingbei Hou Mansion still doesn't know. Chen Yueniang said softly: "Does Niangniang want to send someone back to the Hou Mansion to deliver the letter?"

The grandmother will experience the loss of another child.

Gu Wanning felt a pain in his heart, but he knew that this matter should not be sooner rather than later. Immediately nodded: "Just ask the master to go back to the Hou Mansion and tell grandmother about this." Remember to comfort my grandmother on my behalf. Also, ask your grandmother to make up your mind as soon as possible. ”

Chen Yueniang responded cautiously.

……

After Chen Yueniang left, Gu Guanning sat alone for a long time.

She sat by the window, her eyes falling on the window, her expression was a little gloomy, and her eyes were heavy.

Linglong wanted to step forward to comfort a few words, but was stopped by Linlang with her gaze.

Niangniang wants to be alone now, let's go out first, don't disturb Niangniang here.

Linglong nodded silently and retreated with Linlang. The two looked at each other wordlessly, their hearts were like pressing on a boulder, and they were almost out of breath.

"Master Hou is dead, what will happen next?" Linlang asked in a low voice.

Linglong smiled bitterly: "What else can I do? It's not like before, let people take over the position of Hou Ye and continue to lead the army to fight at the border pass." ”

The Gu family is based on military merits, and if one dies, someone has to take over.

To put it cruelly, as long as there are men in the Gu family, they have to continue to lead the troops to fight.

As far as the current situation is concerned, I don't know how long it will take to fight this station at the border gate, and I don't know how many people will die...... If the Gu family goes to the border again, do you know if they are sent to death?

Gu Guanning knew this, which was why he was so painful.

What's even more painful is that she can't stop it, and she can't stop it.

It is self-evident which is more important than the family and the country.

But the truth is one thing, emotionally speaking, it's another.

Linlang was extremely depressed in her heart, and she had no interest in talking. Linglong, who has always talked a lot, doesn't want to say anything. The two looked at each other silently and fell silent together.

……

Chen Yueniang returned to the Dingbei Hou Mansion as quickly as possible.

When Mrs. Tai saw Chen Yueniang's solemn face, her heart sank suddenly, and she already had a bad premonition: "Yueniang, why did you suddenly go back to the house? Did Sister Ning let you come back?"

Chen Yueniang whispered.

Mrs. Tai's face turned slightly pale, grabbed the handle of the chair with her hand, got up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Yueniang was originally coming back to report the news, but when she saw Mrs. Tai like this, she couldn't bear to say it.

Seeing that Chen Yueniang wanted to speak and stopped being embarrassed, Mrs. Tai's heart became more and more cold, and her voice trembled lightly: "Is the border war urgent?"

"Yes," Chen Yueniang said fiercely, "It's more than that. The border pass sent a war report, and there were traitors in the army. When Hou Ye led the army to fight, he was shot in the chest by someone from behind, and he died on the spot. ”

Mrs. Tai's eyes went dark.

Zi Yan, who was standing on the side, was already prepared, and immediately rushed forward to support Mrs. Tai.

Chen Yueniang stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed Mrs. Tai's other arm, and shouted eagerly: "Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai!"

Chen Yueniang quickly took out a milky white porcelain bottle from her sleeve pocket, poured out a red life-saving ginseng pill, and stuffed it into the mouth of the lady. He hurriedly ordered: "Zi Yan, quickly bring the tea and feed it to Mrs. Tai." ”

Zi Yan hurriedly responded, brought the warm tea to Mrs. Tai's mouth, and fed it.

Mrs. Tai was not completely unconscious, but she cooperated, drank tea, and swallowed the ginseng pills.

"The old marquis is dead, Ah Zhan is dead, and now it's Ah Song's turn. Mrs. Tai closed her eyes and whispered, her voice full of obscurity and pain: "How many sons will die in the Gu family." ”

Chen Yueniang thought of her father and husband who died at the border, and her eyes were also hot.

Most of the generals of the Gu family went out together. In the end, most of them died on the battlefield. Only the generals who were seriously injured and unable to fight again could retreat from the battlefield and return to the capital.

The plaque symbolizing the glory of the Dingbei Hou Mansion has been stained with the blood of many people.

Two lines of muddy tears overflowed from the corners of Mrs. Tai's eyes, and then rolled down to the placket of her clothes, and soon became wet.
