Chapter 179: Returning to His Homeland
Gu Tianlan pushed open the door of the broken temple and walked in. Yun Yao had woken up and stared out like a leopard.
Gu Tianlan shook his head, indicating that there was no danger. Yun Yao's face softened slightly.
After a while, the door of the ruined temple was pushed open, and the little girl walked in. Yun Yao suddenly became vigilant and stared at the little girl.
When the little girl saw Yun Yao, her eyes lit up, and her round eyes stared at Yun Yao, undisguised.
"Big brother is so good-looking. The little girl said shyly and timidly.
Madame said this, and the old man was not happy to hear it. Gu Tianlan reminded. The one outside was originally the one who would repay Jianyao, if she knew that Yun Yao had hooked up with his tender grass, she and Yun Yao would not have good fruit to eat.
The little girl laughed again: "The girl misunderstood, that's my brother." My brother's name is Ling Yu, and my name is Ling Jing. The girl is really bold, although the elder brother is a businessman, but the decisive killing, the person who dares to disobey him, has become a white bone. ”
Gu Tianlan showed a surprised expression, these two brothers and sisters did not have the slightest similarity.
"If it weren't for Miss Tang, I wouldn't be far from Bai Gu. Gu Tianlan said.
Ling Jing covered her lips and smiled for a while: "The girl said that she was laughing, I didn't block the silver needle for the girl." ”
Gu Tianlan glanced at her in surprise. This girl is young, and she seems to be well protected by Ling Yu, but she actually knows everything.
Ling Jing asked, "The girl came out of Rongcheng?"
Gu Tianlan didn't hide it and nodded.
"The city of Rongcheng has been burned to the ground, and there are no living people in it except the Turks. The girl and the wounded boy came out intact. Ling Jing said.
Gu Tianlan's eyes couldn't help but darken, although he had already guessed such a result, but when he heard this, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It was the place where the Gu family army had been stationed for many years, and it was the place where she and her father swore to protect to the death, and finally it became a deal between Li Yejin and the Turks, and the lives of the people were in vain.
"Isn't Miss Tang unscathed?" Gu Tianlan raised his eyebrows and said.
"We're different. My brother's name is out, and no one dares to do anything to us. The little girl said confidently.
"The same is true of the Turks?"
Ling Jing nodded, and her little face couldn't help but bring arrogance: "Brother's business is all over Mochizuki and Turkic, and both countries are jealous of my brother. Brother and Zeng Xiuyun are the two biggest businessmen in Mochizuki, rich enough to rival the country, Zeng Xiuyun has a queen behind him, but his brother relies on his own strength. ”
Gu Tianlan had never heard of Ling Yu, but he had heard of Zeng Xiuyun. Zeng Xiuyun is Gu Tianqing's cousin, the same maternal family.
The more she walked towards Yecheng, the closer she got to the enemy in her previous life.
"Mochizuki's territory is too big, His Majesty the Emperor is powerless, he can't take charge of such a large territory, plus Shuoyun's side, after Gongsun Yi broke through Xichuan, there is nothing to stop his iron cavalry, he will soon be able to break through Shuoyun's capital, saying that the emperor is just around the corner. His Majesty the Emperor was in a hurry, so he gave these poor and useless territories to the Turks, so that the Turks erected a barrier. His Majesty occupies the rich places of the south and recuperates. Ling Jing said.
Gongsun Yi, the emperor of Shuoyun?
When Gu Tianlan heard Gongsun Yi from other people's mouths again, he had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he wanted to hear more from her.
Ling Jing naturally couldn't guess her thoughts.
"Recuperating and recuperating is in vain for the lives of innocent people?" Gu Tianlan laughed mockingly.
"That's not something that ordinary people like us can talk about. Ling Jing smiled and said, "My brother has some cleanliness habits, if he offends the girl, I hope the girl will not be surprised." ”
This is no longer an ordinary cleanliness habit, but a cleanliness habit to the extreme. When I go out, I can't even touch a little dirty thing, and I look like a big man.
"Jingjing. A man's voice came from outside the door.
"My brother called me, so I went out first. Ling Jing said and went out.
Separated by a broken door, there were big fish and meat outside the door, and inside the door, Gu Tianlan and Yun Yao could only nibble on some wild fruits. The fragrance from outside the door wafted in, and Gu Tianlan and Yun Yao both swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.
After resting for a while, the old man outside the door began to pack up and was about to go on the road.
"Girl, we're going to Yecheng, can the girl stop by?" Ling Jing put her head in and asked.
She asked Gu Tianlan, but it was Yun Yao.
Drop by, of course.
Before Gu Tianlan could speak, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Of course not, their appearance is clearly the opposite direction of ours. Ling Yu said, looking at Gu Tianlan's eyes with warning. If she dared to go along with him, he would break her neck.
Gu Tianlan instantly understood his threat, and then said, "By the way." ”
Ling Yu's eyes changed, he had probably never seen such a brazen person.
"Brother, let this girl come with us. Ling Jing pulled Ling Yu's sleeve and said coquettishly.
A doting smile appeared on Ling Yu's face: "Okay." ”
So, there were three people sitting in a carriage - Ling Jing, Gu Tianlan, and Yun Yao.
Ling Yu really couldn't stand the fact that there were two more stinky people in the carriage, so he rode his own horse. The guards who had been robbed of their horses rode in the same city as another guard.
From Rongcheng to Yecheng, it has to pass through five states. The closer it is to Yecheng, the richer the state city becomes. Gu Tianlan leaned his head and looked out. The clothes of the people of Rongcheng are very similar to Shuoyun, and as they move forward, the clothes and customs of the people are similar to those of Yecheng. Yecheng is where Gu Tianlan grew up, and she is familiar with every grass and tree there.
The carriage entered Yecheng.
Yecheng is the capital of Mochizuki, where the royal family is located, and it is full of dignitaries and nobles, and it is prosperous.
A familiar feeling came to his face, and Gu Tianlan had a feeling that things were wrong.
"Do you see that?" asked Ling Yu, pointing to the word 'Ling' hanging on the carriage.
Gu Tianlan followed his gaze, but he couldn't see it: "What words?"
An expression of disbelief appeared on Ling Yu's face, and the disgust in his eyes became even more obvious: "You can't be illiterate, right?" The word 'Ling' represents the reputation of my Ling family, you don't want to be a hillbilly, keep looking out, and lose the face of my Ling Mansion. ”
"I'm not illiterate, I'm blind. After Gu Tianlan finished speaking, he stuck his head back, ignoring the anger of the men outside.
Ling Jing laughed out loud: "My brother has always been invincible in the business field, no one has ever made him so deflated, the girl is really a god." ”
Gu Tianlan sat peacefully, not wanting to look at the touch scene anymore, and he didn't say anything about Ling Jing's words.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and the people inside subconsciously fell forward, Gu Tianlan grabbed the horizontal bar with one hand and Ling Jing with the other, so as not to throw it out.
Ling Jing's face turned pale with fright, but she quickly recovered, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked outside: "What happened?"
The maid said: "I met Zeng's carriage, Zengfu said that this road is narrow, and we want to make way." ”
Gu Tianlan stretched out his head to look, there was someone in front of them blocking their way, this road was very wide, enough for three or four carriages to travel together, and the other party was obviously looking for fault.
"Zeng Mansion, Zeng Xiuyun!" Ling Jing gritted her teeth and said a name, "As soon as my brother returned to Yecheng, he couldn't wait to find fault and embarrass his brother!"
Zeng Xiuyun.
Gu Tianlan's mind conjured up a middle-aged man with a snarky face. He is Gu Tianqing's uncle, when the Gu Mansion was still her home, Gu Tianqing said an errand for Zeng Xiuyun, Gu Tianlan only glanced at it, and then refused. This person has a snarky face, and is obviously not a good type. Later, this person actually deceived the people outside in the name of Gu Fu, Gu Tianlan almost killed him with a sword after knowing it, he was so scared that he urinated, if Gu Tianqing hadn't appeared to intercede for him, then he would already be a body at this time.
Such a person, with Gu Tianqing's power, became a wealthy businessman in just four years.
Li Ye disregarded the lives of the people, and Gu Tianqing connived at his relatives to bring harm to the people, these two people are really a good match!
"Master Ling, it will be the queen's birthday in a few days, and this carriage was sent out by our lord to buy for Niangniang's birthday, if you delay, Niangniang will blame you, will you eat the sin?" A servant stood in front of Ling Yu and said proudly.
Ling Yu sat on the horse, his handsome face was tense, and his face was very ugly.
With such a wide road, the other party actually wanted to withdraw by himself, and then let the carriage purchased by the other party pass first.
When these words spread out, what majesty did he have in Ling Mansion?
But the other party has the brand of the queen's mother, if Zeng Xiuyun chews the root of his tongue in front of the queen, the queen blames it, and he, a businessman, really can't afford it.
Ling Yu clenched the reins in his hand tightly, and the green tendons burst out.
"Since Master Ling won't let me, then I can only return to our master, Master Ling blocked the carriage that was purchased, so the queen's birthday can't be done. So saying, the servant made a gesture to leave.
"Slow down!" Ling Yu said coldly.
A condescending smile appeared on the servant's face: "Master Ling is really a smart man. Niangniang's birthday is huge, so my lord sent almost all the carriages out. Please also ask Master Ling to retreat outside the city gate, so that we can have a place. ”
"It's just too deceitful!" Ling Jing gritted her teeth and said, the expression on her face was humiliated.
Ling Yu's body tensed, as if he might resist at any time, but in the end, his body loosened and said, "Retreat to the city gate." ”
Ling Fu drove the lonely carriage and walked towards the city gate. Gu Tianlan whispered in Yun Yao's ear, and then jumped out of the carriage, she did not leave, but mixed in the crowd to watch the excitement.
When he retreated to the city gate, Ling Yu lifted the curtain and looked at the missing person inside, his face suddenly became even more ugly.
"The country woman, I thought that Zeng Xiuyun was really an incredible character, go and see his liveliness!"
The so-called convoy was actually two carriages, each of which was driven by two servants and walked along the wide avenue.
"What kind of thing is Ling Yu, and he still puts on a face, the master doesn't care about him, otherwise as soon as he says it in front of Niangniang, Niangniang will copy his Ling Yu's home!"
"He still knows each other, so he gave in, otherwise if the lord doesn't go his way, what you just said will come true. ”
After the two servants humiliated Ling Yu, they had just enjoyed the fruits of their victory, and at this time they felt quite regretful, hoping that Ling Yu would be even more miserable.
Gu Tianlan heard the discussion of the two of them clearly, although Ling Yu hated it, but Zeng Xiuyun, who raised such a powerful servant, hated it even more.
