Chapter 30: The Flames of War
On the way back, Gu Xie Wu looked up at the sky from the car window. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xu had not fully woken up after eating, looking at the sky like a silk handkerchief, very transparent, and there were fine clouds on the blue sky, like white magnolia flowers embroidered on a scarf.
The afternoon sun occasionally shone down through the clouds, and the dazzling light pierced her eyes, like the vast and quiet sea that she had seen in her previous life, extremely bright, extremely quiet, and extremely wide, and suddenly felt that her vision was wide and her heart was relaxed.
She suddenly felt that the good days were extremely unreal.
Except that Princess Zhennan was very unhappy, because she felt that Gu Jiewu had lost her temper in the Qin Palace, and in retrospect, Gu Jiewu felt that the fruit wine was too strong.
The princess's smile at her looked more and more reluctant, and Gu Xie Wu thought that everything was developing in a normal direction.
It may be that he has lived in the era of peace for too long, and Gu Xie Wu has forgotten his position - the very edge of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Forget that the villages outside the city walls are often harassed by the Hu people, otherwise how could there be so many homeless people in this Liangzhou City.
There will be no Liangzhou battalion with 100,000 troops stationed there, and the two princes who are important in the imperial court.
War broke out one day in early summer.
It was a light day, and it shouldn't have been a day where something terrible like that happened.
King Zhennan did not return home for half a month, and the princess almost thought that he had forgotten that his eldest daughter was about to celebrate her seventeenth birthday, and that she was going to the capital to complete the marriage.
Gu Xieyi's birthday atmosphere was not very good, even the princess was worried about the war that happened outside Liangzhou City, and the two departments of Da Zhou and Rouran Yidi had not fought for many years.
Although the king of Zhennan often said that sooner or later there would be a battle of life and death with such a barbarian, but there was no warning, and there was her husband and son on the battlefield.
How can she still be in the mood to celebrate her daughter's birthday?
Because of the war, the date of going to Beijing could not be set for a long time.
Always listen to the king of Zhennan, when he says, when is it, and besides, now Liangzhou is very strict in and out.
If the family members of King Zhennan are the first to leave, it is likely to affect the morale of the Liangzhou battalion.
Gu Jiewu listened to the news brought back by Xiangmei and Xuehai every day, and he was not in a bad mood at all.
It's like watching a war drama, but when you're in the middle of it, you will know how difficult it is, and who knows if those people will kill you in front of you in the next moment.
In this era, there is no such thing as "two armies fighting, and the civilians are not harmed", and if the invaders invade the land of other countries, if they cannot control it, it is a three-light strategy of robbing and killing and burning them all.
If the Great Zhou is defeated, the fate of the women waiting in Liangzhou City can be imagined.
Gu Jiewu has been so frightened for the first time in his two lives.
If she can't protect herself, what will she do when it happens?
Killing yourself to keep your innocence? That's stupid.
Endure humiliation and steal life? Not to mention whether she can live or not, even if she survives, other people's saliva can drown her.
Gu Xie Wu was made more and more haggard day by day by his panic, and the news from the front was not accurate, in addition to the delay in information, there was also the fact that the guards lied about the military situation in order not to cause panic among the people.
How many TV series she watched in her previous life, no matter how simple her mind is, she understands that the so-called war is not just simple and rude.
It is a test of a country's military, political, and core cohesion.
Everyone is full of confidence in the army of the Great Zhou, Rao is Yidi and Rouran are combined, and the number of soldiers is also limited, and Liangzhou has an army of 100,000, and the troops from other places will definitely come soon.
It's just that all of these people are just the women in the back house of the Zhennan Palace.
Masters, maids, mothers-in-law, and maids.
Finally, on a dark night, the sound of horses' hooves broke through the sky above Liangzhou City.
trampled on the tranquility of the Zhennan Palace.
This night, the moon is sparse, and it is a cool and good weather.
The sound of iron hooves sent home by King Zhennan breaking through the air exploded from outside the gate.
The entire Zhennan Royal Mansion fell into a kind of panic.
The prince asked the princess to pack up and take the family to Beijing.
Such a rush and panic.
When Gu Xie Wu received the news from the princess in Youlan Courtyard, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.
Should I pack my clothes first, or should I pack my gold and silver, and some food?
It's an escape, not a play.
If you make the slightest mistake, you will have to take your own life.
In a hurry, she saw herself in the glass mirror.
Beautiful eyes, skin is better than snow, a silk satin, and a gold and silver bead hairpin on his head.
In the best years, a thought arose in her heart, "You must guard against benevolence".
Gu Xie Wumo was stunned, and said to Xiangmei Xuehai: "Go and call Xiangling!"
At that time, it was really chaotic at the moment, not to mention Gu Jiewu, it was just two maids who were slightly older than Gu Jiewu, and they were also six gods without masters.
Xiangmei was stunned for a moment and said, "Slave maid, let's go pack up things, miss, don't panic!"
Xue Hai heard Gu Jiewu's instructions clearly, and went out to find Xiangling.
Her hands clenched into fists, her inch-long nails pinched into her palms, and the pain made her no longer overwhelmed.
The palace has prepared a lot of carriages.
The princess personally inspected the three daughters getting into the carriage, and the only thing she needed to care about was Yin and Gu Cheng, as well as Gu Xie Wu of Youlan Courtyard.
Gu Cheng was taken care of by the Yin family, and it was quickly done, Gu Cheng was a man, and his foot injury had healed, so he cleaned up in three or two clicks.
Only Gu Jiewu knew that the news was late, and there was no serious guidance from a grandmother, and he had never been far away, so he didn't know what things to pack, so he delayed a lot of time.
Fortunately, the princess didn't have the heart to be ruthless enough to leave Gu Xie Wu and leave by herself.
You can't take all the maids away this time.
Gu Xie Wu only brought Xiangmei Xuehai and Xiangling Holly with him, and as for the others, they all stayed in Youlan Courtyard.
Who is not afraid of death?
As soon as the master left, they had no hope, as if the knife hanging from their necks had reached the side of their necks.
When Gu Xie Wu left, she only heard the miserable cries of the girls, and she couldn't complain that she was ruthless, and the princess said don't bring too many people.
When they came to the second gate, Mama Rong came to pick them up in person, put them in the carriage, and then returned to the princess and said that they could go.
It was too dark, and Mama Rong didn't notice that the person wearing Gu Jiewu's clothes on weekdays was Xiangling.
And Gu Xie Wu was wearing Xiangling's clothes.
The master and servant switched places.
No matter how stupid the four maids are, they also understand where Gu Jiewu's doubts come from, Xiangling is very scared, her mother and sister and brother are in Liangzhou, she doesn't want to leave, but the young lady wants her to be her stand-in.
After being in the town for so long, Miss slapped her for the first time tonight because she said she didn't want to leave. (To be continued.) )
