Chapter 1109: Reunion (3)
Gu Wanning ordered Linglong to send Gu Bai back to the Hou Mansion in Dingbei, and he could stay in the Hou Mansion for one night before returning to the palace.
This is the sympathy of the master and the son, so that their father and daughter have the opportunity to get together.
Linglong was grateful. Along the way, the father and daughter rode in the same carriage and finally had time to speak.
"Dad, you look a lot older. Linglong's tone was full of distress.
Gu Bai smiled disapprenously: "The weather at the border is very cold, and I have to go out to train or lead the troops to fight every day, and there is no time to stop." Naturally, it is not as comfortable as in the capital. ”
"After winning the battle this time, my father will not have to go to the border army in the future. Linglong lowered her voice: "Dad's age is not too young, he should stay in the capital to retire." Don't trek around and lead your troops into battle anymore!"
Gu Bai said: "I am in my prime, and it doesn't hurt to stay in the border army for five or eight years." This time, I returned to Beijing on the order of the prince to escort the prince of Qi into the palace. When the Shizi class teacher returns to the dynasty and goes to the border again, I will go with the Shizi. ”
Linglong: "......"
My worst fears came true!
Linglong knew that Gu Bai's resolute heart was not easy to be swayed, but she still opened her mouth to persuade with the last trace of hope: "Dad, the situation at the border has not yet stabilized. Maybe there will be war. Don't go to the border......"
Gu Bai smiled, and his gaze swept over: "Linglong! If I advise you at this time, the situation in the palace is tense, for safety, you don't want to be an errand by Niangniang's side." Would you like to?"
Linglong was dumbfounded for a moment, and then unwillingly flattened her mouth: "How can this be the same!"
"In life, there are always people and things to care about. Even if it's dangerous, you can't back down. Gu Bai said solemnly: "You are loyal to the queen, and I am the same for the Gu family." ”
"The son of the world has a calm temperament and has the style of a general. It's just that he is younger, and his time in the border army is short. There aren't many people around. At such a time, I should follow the son of the world, how can I stay in the capital for the sake of enjoyment?"
"If it were you, you would have made the same choice!"
Linglong opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything. After a while, he sighed helplessly.
……
When they arrived at the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Gu Bai's father and daughter each packed up their slightly heavy hearts and went to Zhenghe Hall together.
When Mrs. Tai saw Gu Bai and Linglong, she was very happy in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "Okay, good, just come back safely." Gu Bai, did you have a smooth trip?"
Gu Bai replied respectfully: "Day and night, it's a little harder to hurry." Fortunately, the road was quite smooth, and the prince of Qi had been sent to the palace safely. ”
Hearing the name of the prince of Qi, Mrs. Tai's smile gradually faded, her eyes flashed with a complex and painful light, and she didn't speak for a long time.
Gu Bai followed Gu Wanning's instructions, and told all the performances of the prince of Qi all the way to the palace: "...... For safety, the younger one bound the prince with iron chains, tied him to his horse, and put a hood on his head. Except for eating, drinking, and resting, the rest of the time is the same. ”
"The prince of Qi is indeed a hard bone. I suffered a lot along the way, but I never opened my mouth to beg for mercy. ”
When he arrived at the Funing Palace, he saw the emperor and his mother, and he never showed weakness and begged for mercy. ”
Mrs. Tai was silent.
The prince of Qi has been proud and stubborn since he was a child, and his temperament is stubborn. Almost never bow to anyone.
Speaking of which, the temperament of the prince of Qi and Gu Wanning is actually quite similar.
Because of this, the two simply couldn't get together. The same is strong, the same proud, uncompromising and uncompromising with each other, and it is very easy to hurt each other.
How much she loved Gu Guanning, how much she loved the prince of Qi. It's a pity that the prince of Qi is cold and ruthless, and he is gradually distancing himself from the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and finally decisively, and they are enemies of each other.
The Lord of Leyang and the Princess of Qi both went to their deaths because of him. Now, finally, it's his turn......
"Please put your body first and don't indulge in pain. Linglong opened her mouth with a worried face: "The queen mother is always worried in the palace. ”
Mrs. Tai came back to her senses and smiled at Linglong comfortingly: "You go back to the palace to recover your life and tell Niangniang that I will take care of my body." ”
……
The prison is dark all the year round, the air is stuffy and turbid, and the smell is very unpleasant.
There was also a thick smell of blood in the air.
It was undoubtedly a great humiliation that his head and face were covered, his eyes could not see, and he was carried into the prison by the guards of the forbidden army.
A few years ago, when he decided to become the male favorite of the Tubo national teacher, the prince of Qi had already put aside all his pride. The humiliation at this time did not cause substantial harm to him who was numb.
He didn't even feel anger or deathly despair at this time, and there was only a numb coldness in his chest.
He didn't care about life or death at all.
I can't take revenge for killing my father, I can't take revenge for love, my mother is dead, my sister is dead, and everyone around me is dead. What's the point of him living alone?
Death is death!
It's just that even if you die, you have to drag Xiao Xu along. He died in Jiuquan, and Xiao Xu didn't want to live alone in the world......
A trace of viciousness flashed in the eyes of the prince of Qi. I don't know what to think, and the corners of my mouth are coldly hooked.
Boom!
He was thrown heavily to the ground.
His back slammed against the solid ground, and a sharp pain came.
The prince of Qi gritted his teeth and swallowed the cry of pain and the taste of blood in his mouth. Even at this point, he would never allow himself to grovel and beg for mercy.
The Praetorian guards who had carried him all the way out of the prison.
A familiar man's voice sounded in the ears of the prince of Qi: "Shizi, this was the place where the lord of Leyang County once lived. You live here temporarily, maybe the lord of Leyang will come to you in the middle of the night to talk about your brother and sister. ”
It's Mu Tao!
Mu Tao is Xiao Xu's personal commander and has been following Xiao Xu inseparably. The prince of Qi and Xiao Xu grew up together, and they are very familiar with Mu Tao's voice.
At this time, Mu Tao's voice was full of ridicule and ridicule.
The prince of Qi was full of anger.
It's a pity that the hood covering his head and face has not been removed, and he can't stare if he wants to. Opening his mouth to scold him is really losing his identity and pride.
Except for Xiao Xu and Gu Wanning, there is no one in this palace who is worthy of his mouth.
King Qi Shizi took a deep breath and exhaled the turbid breath in his chest.
Mu Tao seemed to have a glimpse of the thoughts of the prince of Qi, sneered, said no more, and got up to leave.
There was a sudden silence around them.
The dead silence of the night.
But he's not alone.
He smelled a strong smell of blood and stench between his noses, as well as a hint of a peculiar smell that seemed to be absent.
The smell is not good, and it inexplicably makes people's hearts chill.
He's been smelling it for a few years, and he's no stranger to it. No matter how heavy the smell and bloody smell is, it can't hide this familiar atmosphere.
Tubo National Teacher!
